The cry came from Cao Xiaoyu's room, and it was also Cao Xiaoyu's cry.
Wang Yi and I were both stunned and looked up at the same time.
"What's going on?" Wang Yi asked immediately.
I shook my head to express that I didn't know either. The scream sounded like I was frightened.
I stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
When I arrived at the door of the room where Cao Xiaoyu lived, I heard Li Kun's voice coming from inside as soon as I walked in.
"Don't be afraid Xiaoyu, I'm here. Are you having a nightmare? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
It turned out that Li Kun was still in her room, and it turned out that she just had a nightmare.
I didn’t stay any longer. After returning to the yard downstairs from upstairs, Wang Yi asked me, “What’s going on? Why are you back again?”
"It must be a nightmare, Akun is in her room."
"What's going on? It's so late, why is Li Kun still in her room?"
I sighed and said, "This Li Kun is also deeply in love! He likes Cao Xiaoyu, but Cao Xiaoyu doesn't seem to like him."
"I can see it. When I see them getting along, I can tell that Li Kun is a bit too humble."
"I have told him several times, but he doesn't listen. I have no choice but to say that love is too powerful."
Wang Yi laughed and said: "You are still talking about others, aren't you the same?"
"What's wrong with me?"
"How many sacrifices have you made for An Lan? Take this 2.5 billion debt as an example. If it were someone else, it would have nothing to do with him."
"You can't say that. If you only want to enjoy happiness and shrink back when it's difficult, that's not love at all."
"So I said the same goes for you!"
"Haha, maybe! Each of us is a fan of the authorities, so bystanders will understand!"
"Stop being so emotional!" Wang Yi stood up and patted my shoulder, "Go to bed! It's getting late."
"Well, you go to bed, good night."
"Do you want to stay for a while?"
"Well, it's quite pleasant to look at the stars."
Wang Yi yawned and said, "Okay, then I won't accompany you to watch the moon and stars. I'm so sleepy that I'm going to sleep."
After Wang Yi returned to the room, I stayed alone in the yard, lying on the couch and staring at the starry sky.
I don’t know if I’m really too excited, but it’s already past twelve o’clock in the night, and I’m still not sleepy.
In fact, since I came to Anxi Ancient Town, I have rarely had insomnia, if at all.
Because this place is really suitable for people who are stressed out to relax. The tranquility and peace of the ancient town will help you relax from a highly tense state.
Late at night, accompanied by the sound of crickets and the chirping of various insects and frogs, it is really enjoyable.
However, I never took a serious look at the night sky in the ancient town after twelve o'clock in the night. It seemed as if time had stopped, accompanied only by the vast starry sky.
Gradually, you will find that you are extremely insignificant. No matter how ambitious and ambitious you are, you seem to be as humble as dust in the endless universe.
So what do all our troubles mean?
I just thought about it, and after I don't know how long it took, I finally felt sleepy.
I just walked upstairs. When I passed the room where Cao Xiaoyu was, I heard the noise coming from inside again.
And it's the "creak, creak" sound the bed makes...
I don’t need to think too much about what this means.
Although this is what I think, I also hope that Li Kun and Cao Xiaoyu can be together.
But at this moment, I wasn't very happy because I always felt that Cao Xiaoyu didn't like Li Kun.
But now they are actually sleeping together and having sex.
I didn't think much about it and returned to my room.
Xiaoman was still sleeping soundly, so I quietly got on the bed and lay next to Xiaoman.
The little guy turned over and hugged me, and then continued to sleep...
I didn't look at my phone anymore, let alone think about those things about Cao Xiaoyu and Li Kun, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
After sleeping until dawn the next day, Xiaoman had already gotten up. When he opened the window, he saw that she was playing with Tang Ling in the yard downstairs.
I also briefly washed myself and walked out of the house. I happened to meet Li Kun coming out of his room. He was coming out of his own room.
He seemed to be in good spirits and seemed to have slept well last night.
"Good morning, brother!" He greeted me first.
I smiled and nodded: "Morning."
We came to the courtyard downstairs together, and Tang Ling said to me: "Brother Chen, we are going to Nanjiekou to hunt glutinous rice cakes, will you go?"
"Watching glutinous rice cakes? Shall we do it ourselves?"
"Yes, this is a tradition that has been handed down from our ancient town. Every year on the Mid-Autumn Festival, the residents of the town go to Nanjiekou to make glutinous rice cakes."
I only saw adults using two bamboo sticks to beat glutinous rice cakes in a container made of stone when I was a child. The adults would also make a sound of "hey hoo, hey hoo" to help.
It was quite lively at that time, and we children were watching on the side, waiting for the adults to finish making the glutinous rice cakes, and then swarm over.
The freshly made glutinous rice cakes are fragrant and glutinous. When dipped in sugar, they taste so fragrant!
Although An Lan is coming back today, she told me that she won't arrive in Guiyang until after two o'clock in the afternoon. It takes more than three hours to drive from my place to Guiyang.
It's still early now, so there's plenty of time to go see the excitement.
I immediately said to Tang Ling: "Okay, when will we go?"
"Now, my brother has gone."
"Let's go then."
With that said, Wang Yi and I went out together, and Li Kun naturally followed.
The ancient town today is much more lively than usual. Because it is a holiday, there are more tourists than usual.
The most important thing is the traditional activity of "making glutinous rice cakes" unique to the ancient town, which brings all the residents in the ancient town to Nanjiekou, which is regarded as the cultural square of the ancient town.
In fact, it is a relatively spacious dam, and it was already overcrowded when we arrived.
After we met with Boss Tang, Boss Tang said to me: "Brother Chen, you are here too! Do you want to experience making glutinous rice cakes?"
"Okay! But I don't know how to do it!"
"It's okay, it's simple. Just see how they do it first, and you'll know after just one look."
Of course I know how to make it, but I have never made a glutinous rice cake myself. It is said that this requires skill.
After watching for a while, Boss Tang took me to one of the stone mortars for making glutinous rice cakes, handed me one of the bamboo sticks, and he took one himself.
I stood face to face with him. Boss Tang raised his bamboo stick and said to me, "Are you ready?"
"Come on, you go first or I go first."
"I go first, you follow."
So Boss Tang and I just poked it into the stone mortar with a bamboo stick.
I watched others doing it easily, talking and laughing, but when I started to use it, it was really cumbersome. The viscosity of the glutinous rice seemed to completely stick to the entire bamboo stick, and I couldn't lift it without using force.
Boss Tang is obviously more skilled than me, and he also instructs me on how to exert force.
Gradually, I started to become more comfortable. As long as I find the right skills, it's not that difficult.
But the amount of exercise in this thing is really high, and I started to sweat after just a few minutes.
Li Kun shouted to me from the side: "Brother, how about I give it a try."
It was okay, I could take a rest, so I passed the bamboo stick to Li Kun.
Chen Dajiang also came. He took over the bamboo stick from Boss Tang and worked very well with Li Kun. The two of them were much faster than Boss Tang and I.
I watched from the side until my phone received a WeChat message from An Lan. He told me that he was ready to board the plane from Hong Kong.
