Chapter 37 Night Walk
The first time I took the train was very novel, but many years later I realized what Old Man Yun said was like to spend a lot of money? The first time he took me on the train was to buy a soft sleeper ticket.
Therefore, eating and sleeping freely on the train made me feel that the train was the most comfortable means of transportation when I was a child.
Until many years later, I was crowded with hard seats, and my "passionate heart" confession, I should have spent a lot of money.
The train was not fast at that time, and I didn’t know what tickets Old Man Yun bought. In short, I felt that the train was stopping constantly. But I didn’t feel annoyed. Instead, every time I stopped, I felt very happy.
Because at this time, there will always be many stall vendors at the train window. Old man Yun bought it for me and I will eat it!
When he met someone who had been docking for a long time, he would take me down for a walk. Listening to people from different sites and speaking with different accents, I felt it was very fresh. I parrot all the way behind Old Man Yun, "Nail Mountain (Leshan) people" and "I've eaten noodles (I've eaten)" with his tongue rolled up, and "hiss, hiss (yes, yes)".
Whenever this happens, Old Man Yun feels very embarrassed. While covering my mouth, he apologizes to those who have been "paragused" for no reason.
Helplessly, my weird beard was torn off by me, and the wound on my forehead always made others look at him with suspicion. Someone even asked me, 'Little boy, is this your grandpa?'
I guess I'm treating him as a human trafficker.
After repeated several times, Old Man Yun stopped taking me out of the car, and when the person from our sleeper got off and there were only two of us left, he pressed me on the sleeper without saying a word and slapped me hard several times.
So when I got off the train, my relationship with him dropped to a "freezing point". I turned my head all the way and ignored him, but I was very unwilling to buy him by a fried quail.
This train was not long. It took me from the afternoon of the first day to the afternoon of the next day.
After getting off the bus, I obviously felt that this was a completely different place. At the previous station, no matter how different the accents were, I could roughly understand what those people were saying?
But after arriving here, people speak completely differently. They say what the forehead is, and they always add a "分" to the end of the forehead.
But I don’t feel afraid, but I feel fresh. I always feel that compared with the people in my hometown, the men here have a more rough and bold style, and women also seem much more generous.
Old man Yun was quite 'guarded' me, and he never let my mouth go free along the way. After I finished eating, he took out the same thing. After eating, he took out the same thing. Finally, I ate and cried and said I couldn't eat it anymore, so he asked me to chew bubble gum.
"You little brat are so good at causing trouble, I have to be careful." That's how he dealt with me.
In this way, I had to follow him along the streets and alleys with my round belly, which was quite fresh.
This city is not small, and the whole city has a strong ancient style and a sense of vicissitudes of life. It always makes me feel that I can't see enough. Old Man Yun seems to like my curious appearance. He explained the allusions of this city to me along the way, saying that he would take me to see what famous figurines in this city are like Lushan, and he met someone selling souvenirs, and bought me a set.
I still remember it as a horse, a kneeling man in armor, and two standing man in armor, black, I held it in my hands very preciously.
I have also learned a little bit of elementary school history, and I know that this is the Chang'an in the past, but the very simple and straightforward things in history books are completely incomparable to what Old Man Yun told me. Everything he said from him is so interesting.
So I learned about this "Ancient Capital of the Six Dynasties", and I knew about the emperors here, probably what they had done? What palaces were once, and how brilliant they were.
Old Man Yun also said to me: "Just on this land, there is that powerful emperor buried. There is a huge secret in the tomb. Maybe one day it will be earth-shaking."
I kept asking what the secret was, and annoyed him. He stuffed three bubble gum into my mouth and coaxed me to say that he would tell me as long as he blew out two bubbles as big as his head.
I had eaten a lot, but I couldn't resist walking with him from afternoon to evening. When it was almost dark, it was winter again. In this city, the winter is not as gentle as my hometown. The flying snow and howling wind are full of "lethality". Before getting off the train, I was wrapped in a rice dumpling by Old Man Yun. After walking for a long time, I felt stiff all over and hungry quickly.
"When will we arrive? The mountain gate is so far away. Do you want to walk until night?" I was very tired from leaving, but Old Man Yun said that when he left, he is a hero, and no hero would be carried away by someone.
So, I tried my best to persevere. For the first time, I felt that the mountain gate was the farthest place in the world.
Old Man Yun glanced at me and said, "You think you are beautiful. Do you want to walk to the mountain gate at night? I just took you to my friend's house for one night. We will continue to rush tomorrow."
I am not a fool, I suddenly discovered the problem and rushed to Old Man Yun in anger, stretched out his hand to pull his beard again: "You big liar, why are you taking me away? We can take the bus."
Old Man Yun was scared, so he grabbed my hand and finally pulled me off his body, saying, "You're the first time you went out, shouldn't I take you to stroll around more? Don't you want to see it? And, who told you so many stories just now."
What he said made sense. I got off him angrily. In order to divert my attention, he coaxed me again: "Don't you want to know the biggest secret? You haven't blown out two bubbles that are big in your head yet!"
After he said this, I remembered it again. I had the spirit of not admitting defeat since I was a child, and I began to focus on blowing bubbles.
He breathed a sigh of relief, took me on his way, and continued to tell me various stories along the way.
It was not until a long time later that I realized that all this was done by him deliberately, in order to start cultivating my physical strength and tempering my body to suppress my restless violent power.
Finally, in the end, I didn't blow out such a big bubble, but I was so tired that I couldn't walk. We almost traveled through half of the city and walked from the city to the suburbs. It was already the limit of my physical strength. Old man Yun felt sorry for me. Seeing that I couldn't walk anymore, he picked me up and continued to walk forward.
At night, the weather was already very cold. I hugged in the arms of Old Man Yun, but I was not so cold. It was just that there were almost no people on the paths in the suburbs of the city, only the sparse lights and the sound of the snow falling down.
I was inexplicably not afraid. Even now I still don’t know exactly what Old Man Yun is doing? But I think that if he can save me, he must be a very capable person.
It was originally snowing, and some of them were piled up on the road. I felt that the road was slippery when I walked before, but he held me steadily, step by step, and looked quite calm. I thought for the first time that Old Man Yun was actually amazing. Maybe he was a master hiding in the world.
And I might be taught some powerful martial arts in the future. When I thought about it, I became excited and looked at Old Man Yun like a treasure. When Old Man Yun saw my gaze, he couldn't help but shivered and asked with caution: "Boy, what do you want to do?"
"Can you subdue the Eighteen Dragon Palms?" I was very serious.
"Won't."
"What about the dog-beating stick?"
"I can beat the dog, I don't need a stick." Old man Yun was a little happy.
"What will you do?" I was a little dissatisfied.
He said gently in my ear as if he was deliberately teasing me: "I can catch ghosts, beat zombies, and catch monsters. Do you think it's so powerful?"
On this quiet snowy night, it was really not funny to make such a joke. I remembered the experience in the hole. This time, I shivered and my whole body was stiff. I looked around with caution, holding Old Man Yun's clothes tighter.
"I'm not afraid. With me here, I've been away from the ghosts and so on." Old Man Yun was actually "Yan'er's bad". Seeing me like this, he continued to tease me.
"Really, is there really? Where? Do they hide?" I shrank my body, and I couldn't pretend to be a hero, but it was not my hometown after all. The suburbs here are similar to rural areas. The land is a platform. The land is watched at night, and through the lights, it is also irritated with yellow. Unlike the red land in my hometown, the continuous hills, I feel even more afraid.
"Where do you know? Behind that tree, there was a wandering soul. It was the old lady who passed away in this place, watching us." He pointed to a place and said to me, not knowing whether it was serious or joking.
I was so scared that I pulled Old Man Yun's clothes and looked at the tree he was pointing to intimidatingly. It was dark, so where was there any old lady?
"No, you're a liar." I said cheering myself.
"It is normal that you can't see it. There are so many wandering souls coming and going in this world. It's not surprising that you pass by. If you blame it, you don't have the talent in this area. If you want to be an apprentice from the Old Li family, you're afraid that this place will be very lively. After all, it's close to my friend's house. How can it not be lively? Speaking of which, it seems that I have also heard that the apprentice of the Old Li Shan lineage has grown up, and it seems that it will be stirring up some of the storms again." He murmured, his voice getting smaller and smaller.
I couldn't understand what he was saying, but I only knew that he said there were so many ghosts. I grabbed his clothes and asked unwillingly: "Really?"
But he looked at a short farmyard in front of him and said, "It's here."
