Chapter 44: Re-entry into the alley
This question is actually not worth exploring. I won’t change my inherent thoughts and emotions just because of a glass of wine. But that girl Xin Yi should be back soon, right?
When I think of her, I always think of that late night 18 years ago, when I was 9 years old and my family was in a sensitive period because of some things. The whole family was very anxious. The subsequent agreement that this anxiety would be even more detonated in less than a year in the heat of summer.
After spending a boring afternoon, I was beaten by my father again in the evening after being deliberately exaggerated and mischievous. Actually, I understand very clearly now that I cannot express my feelings myself, so I can only use the extreme method of naughty and mischievousness, and then I am not understood, but I will be beaten instead. The depression in my heart is actually beyond the limit that a child can bear.
In this atmosphere, I tossed and turned at night and couldn't fall asleep, but it was a thunderstorm night.
In fact, many people have a deep impression of the thunderstorm that night, because there were almost constant thunderstorms that night, and heavy rain was not enough to describe the violent storm that night.
I really admire myself for being able to hear such a faint knock on the door under such a heavy thunderstorm that night, maybe it has something to do with my depression?
Then, after opening the door, I saw Xin Yi that it was the first time that my life and I had intertwined. My memory was so profound. I remember that day I was wearing a vest from "Dinosaur Express Ksai" and matching shorts, and staring at the little person in front of the door.
She cut her short hair that was a bit messy and didn't know if it was because she hadn't washed for a long time. She was confused about a T-shirt that was obviously an adult. It was originally white but was gray and looked a little dirty. She was holding a transformed little panda in her hand and could not tell the color, and she also looked at me stupidly.
Her little face was very dirty, but it couldn't hide her eyes. She had big black and white eyes. Her long eyelashes looked beautiful all over her body because of the thunderstorm outside, and water dripping downwards. But, with such big eyes, why are you a little stupid?
Like a dirty and wet doll, this is my first impression of her.
"I'm alone at home, I'm afraid." She looked at me and spoke, her voice soft, but she still looked dumb. I couldn't tell what she was afraid of, because children should cry and make a fuss? What is her behavior?
At a young age, I couldn't think of such a level of emotion. I was at the age of a child who was obviously a child but was even more annoyed by the younger ones, so I also spoke: "What are you afraid of me? Besides, who are you?"
This was my first conversation with Xin Yi and then it unfolded every year that we met. We became more and more familiar with each other. Later, I became the uncle in her mouth and she became my sister.
Why is it my uncle? Can't I call my brother well? I have said this to her many times.
She always tells me, because you always like to pretend to be mature, but you are not lively at all, you are dumb and a little timid. I feel annoyed when I see you, and it often makes people suspect that she often wanders in Taixu.
Thinking of Xinyi, I couldn't help but find a row of clear records on the screen of my phone. Xinyi will return to XX on August 6th.
XX is the city where we are located in mid-July, is she coming back soon? A smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, thinking about her calling her uncle, and trying to pinch her face, and then said to her: "You can stay a little longer. If you stay a little longer, when you go out on the street, others will think you are a machine doll."
"Oh." Thinking of her answers, I always felt bored. I felt timid and stunned.
"Hey, buddy, I'm here? It's 21 yuan in total, thank you." Thinking of Xin Yi, I was stunned for a while. I thought it wasn't long, but I didn't expect to have arrived at the messy alley. I quickly took out the money, gave the car money, and got off the car.
However, it was around 9 o'clock in the evening, and it was not until 10 o'clock in the evening that the whole city was brightly lit, but this one was the only one. Apart from the dim street lights at the entrance of the alley, the other large areas looked pitch black, and there were no extra pedestrians, and they were still walking here.
But the moon was good tonight, so it wouldn't make me stumble in the unfamiliar alley. I didn't want to fall down and get covered in sewage or garbage. The environment in this alley was very bad.
Thinking of this, I was not very happy, but I took a deep breath and walked into this messy alley. With the memory of the day, I walked smoothly. There were a few people walking together in the middle. It was obvious that the drunk people followed me for a while and wanted to cause trouble for me.
But I simply kicked a trash can, and these people retreated with tactfulness. No wonder the middle-aged woman would say that this alley is not peaceful and told me not to come to another girl's house to walk here at night.
Thinking of this, I took out a cigarette and lit it. No matter how bright and beautiful the city is, there are always some corners that are prone to sin. Many people think that the relationship between the environment causes poverty, and poverty breeds ignorance and ignorance. However, this clearly divides the classes and looks down on others' ideas. In fact, they will not think that the root of everything is the human heart.
And I also want to say that after the glamorous package, sin is still sin. I hope that God will be happy and welcoming an era that will make people cleanse their hearts. Then, no matter whether it is a peaceful or rich person, a city or a village, it will be clean and tight.
Thinking of this, I had already walked into the alley where Zhao Ying was. For some reason, this alley felt colder than other alleys after night. It was obviously not a sultry feeling at all in the summer night. Instead, as soon as I walked in, I felt like a big fan was placed in the alley, blowing the cold wind desperately.
"Ha" As soon as I stepped into the alley, I couldn't help laughing, because at the dark and quiet wall of the alley, I squatted or stood a few wild cats. The moment I entered the alley, my eyes were staring at me with flickering eyes.
Maybe the cat demon gave me too much psychological shadow. My first reaction was to sneer, and the second reaction was to look at the wild cats, stop, look back, and then shout loudly: "Get out!"
The word "Roar" is added to the Taoist unique "Roar" which is ever-changing, and the effects are different. However, the simplest thing is to instantly improve one's aura and suppress some evil auras. Those with excellent roar skills can roar people on the spot, but this is too contrary to the sky and generally will not use this level of roar skills.
My soul power is very strong, so my roar skills are also very good, but the sound is not loud, but the word "roll" is like a dull rolling thunder, rolling in this alley with a thunderous aura. These wild cats were frightened and arched their backs, and then they scattered in a swarm.
I was a little surprised when I changed this. These cats are not like cats possessed by cat demons I have seen. They have a particularly strange expression. Is they normal?
However, even if I am suspicious, it would be better to have a mistake. I would rather have experienced all kinds of cat monsters like this. I was too prepared for cats. Thinking of this, I had already walked to the door of Grandma Wen's house at the end of the alley.
The middle-aged woman next door was already dark, and even the glimmer of light and sound of the TV did not come out. Is she going to bed so early?
Originally, I wanted her to help me shout at Grandma Wen. I was the only one who called the door by myself. I still remember that middle-aged woman was standing by the window in the afternoon, so I also stood there and called Grandma Wen in a low voice.
I was very worried that Grandma Wen would not hear it again. Although I didn't notice anything bad about her ears when I talked to her, this time it was fine. Soon, I heard the sound of opening the door, and then Grandma Wen's somewhat old voice: "Is it Xiaoye?"
This old man is not confused at all, and his ears are fine. He even heard my voice and introduced himself to her in the afternoon. My surname is Ye, so she still remembers it.
"Well, it's me, I'm here." I quickly responded, walked to the door, Grandma Wen looked around, and said to me: "It's not peaceful outside, hurry up and go into the house, even though this house is not peaceful."
This sentence made my muscles tense all of a sudden. As I flashed into the house, I couldn't help but ask Grandma Wen: "What does it mean? Is there something again in the house?"
Grandma Wen illuminated the small light in the living room, pouring water for me under the dim light, and said, "If there was no peace in this room, how could something happen to me Yingying?" She was extremely sad when she spoke. Behind her was Zhao Ying's portrait. I squinted my eyes and saw that the black air shrouded in unjust death was even heavier.
I felt it quietly. The yin energy in the room was still there, and it was thick enough. Although it dissipated a little bit more than in the afternoon, it was enough.
"Xiao Ye, drink water." At this time, Grandma Wen had already poured the water and greeted me. I suddenly adjusted from my state of meditation, and then walked to the table and sat down. I didn't want to delay anything, but some things still had to be told to Grandma Wen.
So, I picked up the water cup, took a sip, organized the wording, and then carefully said to Grandma Wen: "Grandma Wen, my friend also told you in the afternoon that I am a person who knows some methods, right?"
"Yes, I still remember." Grandma Wen looked calm and composed.
"Well, some methods are different from some methods of running around the world. So, Grandma Wen, wait for something you are surprised about. I hope you keep it a secret for me and don't tell me." This is what I have to explain. After all, I still remember what Master said about living a life as an ordinary person in a low-key manner.
"I won't be surprised that I even see that thing often, and I know you are a capable person." Grandma Wen's appearance was full of certainty.
"Ah? Can you tell this?" I was surprised.
"That's of course, your eyes were not unbelievable or disdainful when I said those things. Moreover, your eyes were full of confidence than your friends. I was old, but these could be seen." Grandma Wen said with a smile.
I felt a little moved, is this the wisdom of the old man? But I have already said that, and next, I am no longer ready to delay and start taking action.
