I could only tell my second uncle about Lulu once.
The second uncle hissed and lit a cigarette: "What else is there? What did Lulu say that expert looks like?"
I held my nose with one hand and quickly fanned away the smoke that was coming towards my face with the other hand, which made me choke.
"He was said to be an old man, wearing black clothes and black trousers, holding a pipe and pot in his hand, but he walked very neatly, like a young man." I carefully recalled what Xiaopang and Lulu said later.
That being said, why do I feel like this person is a bit familiar? I seem to have seen him somewhere? But I just can’t remember.
The second uncle pinched my nose and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm not a big person, and I have a lot of things on my mind. Your mother isn't awake yet, so I'll go to Lulu's house first."
"good!"
The second uncle said and started to put on his shoes: "You can go wherever you want with your own hands. Walk slowly. Kangtou has put a walking stick for you. Use it to explore."
I shook my head vigorously: "I don't want it! Then I won't really be blind!"
"You can take it if I let you take it!"
I couldn't resist my second uncle, and it wasn't just once or twice. After getting my guarantee, my second uncle left on his motorcycle.
I fumbled around for a bag of bananas and sat on the rocking chair in the yard. I sighed while eating, while the bird's nest under the eaves above my head kept making a lot of noise.
Lulu still doesn’t know how to deal with this matter. In the west courtyard of my house, Aunt Li’s crying sounded again, which was also mixed with uncle Li’s unpleasant words. Moreover, Aunt Zhang who was supposed to come first did not come. I guess
Uncle Zhang is not recovered yet.
What my second uncle said is true. My little head is filled with a lot of troubles.
"Nuan Ting, you're awake!" My mother rushed out of nowhere, picked me up and kissed me wildly on the face!
I’m so touched, my mom must not be wearing tiger print pants today!
I chatted with my mother for a while, and then told her about Lulu's family again. My mother was silent for a long time and said: "Then Lulu's father is not a human being. He wants to be rich and crazy? Just listen to someone casually.
If you are a stranger, don’t you want to see your girl?”
"Mom, please go and persuade me. Lulu came to see me today and she even cried."
"Persuasion is necessary, but it doesn't work now. Now I have to go to Beicun to have a look, and you, Uncle Zhang, have to check the situation."
I'm anxious!
I hugged my mother's neck and rubbed it hard: "Mom, Lulu is my friend. I feel sad to see her cry. Can you go to her house first and then to Uncle Zhang's house?"
"Okay, you little girl, you are really worried."
When my mother agreed, I danced with joy and insisted on going with her. My mother couldn't help my exasperation, so she hugged me and walked away together.
Lulu’s house is not far from my house, just the sixth house on the street behind my house. Although her family is not rich, it is not poor either. Lulu’s mother is a capable person. The house is always kept spotless, and there are no weeds in the yard.
None can be seen.
When my mother and I arrived, my second uncle was smoking under the shade of a tree opposite the gate of Lulu's house.
"Second brother, why don't you go in?"
"Sister-in-law." The second uncle sounded uninterested.
In my white eyes, I vaguely saw my second uncle raising his hand and pointing towards the yard of Lulu's house.
My mother and I turned to look at it at the same time, but unfortunately, I couldn't see anything from one meter away.
My mother's tone was also a little cold: "Today is Tuesday, Lulu is not allowed to go to school in the afternoon, so let her chop firewood in the yard?"
The second uncle sighed and said: "Lulu is the same age as our girl Yun. Our girl's hands were all bruised and the whole family was yelling. Lulu's sweat is probably from working all afternoon. Lulu's father can forget it.
, Lulu’s mother actually didn’t say anything.”
My second uncle must have exaggerated the truth. It’s not like he has never seen me kneeling in the ancestral hall.
But when I heard what happened to Lulu, I felt very sad.
The second uncle pinched my nose mischievously and said, "Girl Yun, call your little classmate out."
I understood what was going on, so I opened my neck and shouted in the direction of Lulu: "Lulu! Are you at home!"
"Hey! I'm here!"
The sound of footsteps quickly came to my side. My mother put me down. I took Lulu’s hand and said with a smile: "Lulu, why didn’t you go to school?"
Lulu shrank back, and I felt several big blisters on her palms. Lulu gasped in pain.
I was so frightened that I immediately dropped my hands and stood there helplessly.
At this time, a man's voice sounded from the direction behind Lulu: "Hey, Guizhi, you guys are here to visit us, come in quickly, Lulu will make tea quickly!"
Although I couldn't see it, but when I heard Lulu's father's voice, I could guess that he was like a peacock spreading its tail and touching a tiger, showing off his power.
"Besides, we girls were taking a walk and happened to pass by your house to see Lulu at home. Isn't today Tuesday? Why didn't Lulu go to school?"
"Isn't this an expert who came here a few days ago? He said that I was destined to be a rich man, but I was dragged down by this little girl. I thought it didn't matter if this little girl went to school or not, haha."
My mother immediately frowned and said, "Lulu's father, that master charged your family a lot of money, right?"
"Don't talk nonsense. The master didn't ask for anything. He just drank a bowl of tea at my house, gave me some advice and then left."
My mother, my second uncle, and I were all stunned. Since that man is not interested in money, what is his purpose in saying this?
Before I could figure it out, Lulu’s father said in a weird voice: "Guizhi, you and the second child are both knowledgeable people. How do you say that? Yes, there are people outside the world, and there is a world outside the sky.
, people have to accept that there is someone more powerful than themselves."
Tsk, didn’t I just want to say that that person was more powerful than my mother? I also wanted to say that he had blurry eyes and couldn’t recognize people, and he harmed his own girl.
"Sister-in-law, I have to go back to the cemetery to have a look. The dark clouds have cleared and the weather is hot. Girl Yun is just in time. You should carry her back quickly and don't let her get heat stroke." The second uncle said.
"OK."
Hey? What's going on? Why did these two people back down before they even said anything?
I tugged at my mother's sleeves and stamped my feet in anxiety.
My mother didn't seem to feel it. She raised her head and smiled at Lulu's father: "Lulu's father, congratulations to you. The child is a child after all. Don't care about her like that."
With that said, my mother grabbed me and twisted me towards home.
Lulu reluctantly let go of my fingers: "Nuan Ting...goodbye."
"Goodbye Lulu."
After walking a few steps away, we could still hear Lulu's father scolding Lulu and even slapped her.
I tilted my head and was so angry.
"What's going on with you two? Didn't you persuade Lulu's father? You just left without saying anything!"
"You girl." The second uncle pedaled his motorcycle, causing me to have a loud head-shake. "Girl, greed is the most taboo thing for people. This is the case with Lulu's father now. He can't listen to anything we say now. We talk too much.
If it gets serious, it will arouse his resistance, but we can get away as soon as we leave, but what about Lulu? Will he be used as a punching bag by Lulu's father?"
"What your second uncle said makes sense. Lulu is just a child. The only people she can rely on are her parents."
"Yes, so girl, remember, no matter what you do in the future, you must consider the consequences."
I was so annoyed that I covered my head and shook my head: "Then let's just ignore Lulu?"
The second uncle chuckled: "Of course I care, but we have to take the right medicine and find the so-called expert first."
