Uncle Li's black palm slapped on the table, causing the haggis soup to spill out.
The hairs on his nose were blown away by his heavy breathing, and his eyes immediately turned red, like a vicious dog.
Obviously anxious!
"Second brother! Don't take me for a fool! I can still tell which one is more and which one is less! Bronze mirrors are something that lasts a lifetime. I will find you a wife who will be with you forever. If you want four thousand yuan, you can
Send me away? No way!"
"Brother, don't be angry!" The second uncle stood up in a panic and raised his wine glass, "Just pretend that my brother can't speak. I'll do it first as a courtesy!"
"Don't mess with this." Uncle Li stood up and took his second uncle's hand. The chair was knocked to the ground by his thick legs, making a clanging sound.
"If you give me the bronze mirror today, everything will be easy. If you don't give it..." Uncle Li narrowed his eyes, and the flesh on his face was trembling, looking fierce and cruel.
The second uncle seemed to be frightened by him and was trembling. After hesitating for a while, he begged for mercy: "Give! I will give it! Brother, please don't do anything!"
"Then go quickly!"
"Hey, good!"
The second uncle entered the house without stopping.
As soon as the door to the outer room was closed, the second uncle's expression immediately changed, his eyes were deep, and even if he made no movements, one could feel that his anger had reached the top of his head.
The second uncle first nodded to my mother: "Sister-in-law, you have been wronged, and I will not let you suffer this grievance in vain."
My mother sighed: "We all know what he is like, but there is nothing we can do about it. Don't take it to heart, and don't let your elder brother know, otherwise he will have to fight Li Fu."
The second uncle didn't answer. He pursed his lips, took down his cloth bag from the wooden cabinet, walked to the kang and poured out the contents.
Lulu and I gathered around.
It was a pile of small octagonal copper mirrors.
One of them is particularly eye-catching. It has complicated words on the side and patterns on the back. It is exactly the same as the one in the arms of the stall owner who sells mirrors!
It’s just newer than that!
Lulu picked up the small mirror and handed it to her second uncle: "Second uncle, are you looking for this?"
The second uncle took it over and touched Lulu's head: "This is the Eight Diagrams Demon Mirror. I originally wanted to give him this. Not only can it capture the monsters, but it can also protect Li Fu, but now..."
The second uncle put down the small mirror and picked up one with only words and no patterns.
"He has to suffer a little."
My anger was still lingering, so I asked my second uncle angrily: "Second uncle, why don't you just give him the mirror earlier? I'm really mad at you for letting him stay for so long!"
I really don’t understand!
The second uncle was stunned for a moment and then laughed: "Silly girl, everyone understands the principle of no reward for no merit, look at it."
The second uncle pointed out the window: "What others give is dispensable. Only when you work hard for it will you be valued. Are you worried that he won't take it and play with it?"
I followed my second uncle's hand and looked over.
Uncle Li was leaning back on the chair leisurely, holding the back of his head and humming a little tune.
Incredibly beautiful.
Let him be beautiful now.
There are always times when he cries!
My mother grabbed my second uncle who was about to go out and said worriedly: "Second brother, it's okay for us to suffer a little loss. Don't harm others because of this. It's not worth the consequences."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I am sensible."
The second uncle took the mirror and went out.
Uncle Li's eyes immediately lit up. He walked up to his second uncle in a few steps, grabbed the small copper mirror with all his strength, put it to his eyes and looked at it carefully.
"Is this what it is?"
"Yes, brother, I gave you the mirror, but what about my wife..."
"Don't worry, keep it with me!" Uncle Li put the bronze mirror into his pocket with quick hands and feet, as if he had found a treasure. He stopped eating and drinking, and went home immediately.
As soon as Uncle Li left, Aunt Li came out of the shadows. Looking at Uncle Li's back, her blood-red tears fell to the ground drop by drop.
…
My dad came back in the evening.
Under my mother's repeated instructions, we did not tell anyone about Uncle Li's rudeness to my mother.
"Li Fuxin is too big. I don't know if my wife is dead, and I can't find my daughter if she's gone." My father hugged Ni'er, put the bottle aside, and coaxed the baby to behave in a decent manner.
I thought to myself, you are not small-minded, your wife was bullied this afternoon, and you didn’t know that?
"Girl, why are you pouting?" My dad looked at me in confusion.
Lulu immediately kicked my feet to stop me from showing off.
"Nuan Ting has a bubble in her mouth!" Lulu replied quickly.
"When did I get bubbles in my mouth?" I said unhappily.
At this time, my second uncle came in from outside, held my hand, and said to my dad: "Brother, I have to take Yun Yatou there tonight, and I need her help."
"Okay!" My second uncle wants to take me there! I'm so happy! Then I can see with my own eyes that Uncle Li is scared!
I approached Lulu with a smile: "Lulu, are you going?"
Lulu moved her neck in fear: "I won't go, I don't dare."
My dad looked worried, put Nier next to him, and lit a cigarette: "Can Nuanting do it? It's so dangerous, why don't I go?"
The second uncle didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother, my sister-in-law and I are here. Don't worry. Besides, there must be an adult at home, otherwise no one will see Lulu and Nier."
"Too."
My dad watched the three of us out the door.
With that gaze, even from a distance, I could feel the heavy father's love on my back.
My mother went to the front door of Uncle Li's house from the south, and my second uncle and I went to the back door of his house from the north. We agreed that I would be responsible for taking advantage of the conditions and observing the enemy's situation.
One of my mother and my second uncle faced the enemy head-on, while the other attacked from behind.
It's dark and windy today, and the moon has been covered by clouds, but this is of no use to me who has very good eyesight.
Because I can still see ghosts wandering the streets.
When will the seventh month of the lunar calendar end...
"Yun girl, come here." The second uncle squatted down, and I quickly rode on his neck, and the second uncle lifted me up.
The wall behind Uncle Li's house is very high, as tall as my dad. I sat on my second uncle's shoulder, and my snake eyes allowed me to clearly see what was going on inside.
Through the kitchen window at the back, in the west room just in front, you can see Uncle Li sitting on the windowsill, with a half-drunk bowl of dark tea beside him.
He crossed his legs and was playing with the octagonal mirror, and the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears.
"Girl Yun, how are you?" The second uncle's straining voice came from below, "Why are you so heavy?"
"I'm not heavy!" I angrily pulled at the sparse hair on my second uncle's head, which was not as thick as the few hairs my mother had lost.
The second uncle was shocked and begged for mercy: "Little ancestor! Stop! The second uncle doesn't have much hair left!"
"Then you said I'm not heavy!"
"You don't have a career anymore, do you? Tell me what you saw?"
"Uncle Li is sitting on the window sill of the west room."
"What? Where is Xiaoyun?"
I looked around carefully: "He's not there."
"not here?"
Just as the second uncle was questioning, the door to the west room suddenly opened.
Xiaoyun swayed her slender waist and walked in with twisting steps. Her eyes fell on the bronze mirror.
