blue lotus

9. Uneasy

On the way back to school, Uncle Jun strode ahead with a stiff face, no matter how I called him, he didn't even turn his head.Because Uncle Jun was in a bad mood, I didn't go into the temple with Master Huijue. Master Huijue gave me two lotus jade pendants, saying that they could ward off evil spirits and keep us safe.I thanked him with my palms together, and then reluctantly bid farewell to him.

As soon as I got back to school, Uncle Jun took a bucket to draw water from the well by the river, and I followed like a follower.The well was built under a clump of arhat bamboos. Uncle Jun went down the smooth stone steps to the mouth of the well. Just as I was about to go down, Uncle Jun yelled at me, "Stay honestly, and be careful not to fall into the well and drown you. "

After hearing this, I felt very comfortable. After all, Uncle Jun still loves me.I'm so cheap.

Because of the hot weather, several cows were bathing in the river, exposing their heads and backs as hard as stones.The cowherd boys stripped naked and played in the shallow water by the river, splashing water and fighting each other, and their laughter spread far and wide.There was a rotating waterwheel beside the river, with its wheels humming and singing dull and hoarse old songs, the water in the bamboo tube rushed into the wooden trough, and flowed into the vegetable field along a long bamboo tube. inside. "Uncle, this water wheel is so fun, it's catching up with the water pump."

Uncle Jun ignored me and walked up the stone steps carrying water. "Uncle, I'll help you." I flattered him and unloaded the pole from his shoulder.

"Let go, look at your skin and tender flesh, I'll take care of you if it's worn out." Uncle Jun became annoyed.I had to obediently follow behind him again.

"By the way, if you want to do something for uncle, you can order food and go home for lunch. If you don't want to do it, forget it, I won't force you."

"I'll do it, please don't worry, chief." I jumped into the vegetable field and pulled out two pickled mustards, and showed it to Uncle Jun with a smile, "Is that enough?"

"There are still cucumbers over there, pick a few." Uncle Jun took the mustard, so I skipped around the fish pond and went to pick cucumbers.

Back at Uncle Jun’s nest, in order to win back Uncle Jun’s goodwill, I tried my best. When Uncle Jun was steaming rice, I diligently chose and washed vegetables. Uncle snatched the kitchen knife from my hand, "Let me come, see that your hot body is smoking, go take a shower in the shed to cool off."

"how about you?"

"I'll wash it after cooking." Uncle Jun's knife skills are good, a knife can make the clouds flow like water, I was fascinated by it, Uncle Jun turned back and stared at me, "Don't you want to go?"

After returning from the shower resentfully, Uncle Jun's dishes were ready.I had to sit in the bedroom and wait for Uncle Jun while watching TV.Just when the legal system of CCTV was in progress, it was talking about the report that a criminal gang drug trafficking case in our province was cracked by the police. All members were arrested except for one who fled abroad, but I didn’t see how they were convicted in the end. Makes me very worried.

At this time, Uncle Jun came in wearing only a pair of wet flat-legged trousers, "It's time to eat. I'd better watch less of such programs in the future, so as not to have nightmares at night." After finishing speaking, he forcibly turned off the TV and took off his clothes in front of me. Underpants, and a pair of black shorts from the closet to put on.

"Haven't seen enough yet? I'll let you watch it after dinner, okay?" Seeing me motionless and staring at my big eyes in silence, Uncle Jun walked up to the bed and pulled me, "It was fine just now, touching the scene to make me fall in love Is it? We'll be fine, huh? Be good."

I don't know why, my mood suddenly plummeted, and I was inexplicably irritable, "Uncle, I want to go home."

"Didn't you just come out of home yesterday? Why do you miss home again?"

"I always have an ominous premonition, as if I won't see my dad tomorrow." As I said that, my eyes became wet again.

Uncle Jun nestled my head against his chest, "Don't be sad, Uncle will carry you home after dinner."

While eating, my cell phone rang. It was Ma Shuai. I hurriedly got up and walked out to pick it up. "Leizi, what are you doing?"

"It's time to eat."

"Is there any big customer coming to your place? I asked, it's more than 200 miles away."

"I don't know, I was driven home by my uncle, you can go to the passenger station and find out."

"Damn, your home is so far away, I thought your home was also in Furong Town."

"I grew up with my grandmother."

"Okay, you wait for me, you must wait for me."

It is said that when people are in a bad mood, they are listless in everything they do. After talking on the phone with Ma Shuai in a few words, they feel that the two of them will never regain the passion they had when they lived in school.

At that time, we liked to play crazy football on the playground together, go shopping with our arms hanging up together, and climb mountains and drill into dense forests together on weekends with our bags on our backs. There were all socks and shorts on the bare clothesline, and a pair of slippers that were scrambled to and fro; also, the hole that was dug in our door privately so that the pet cat An An and the puppy Baylor could go out to enjoy the air during the day.

We were next door at that time, I could get into his den as soon as I opened the door, and he could climb into my bed as soon as the door was opened, the two of us cuddled together and watched pirated Hollywood blockbusters bought on the street stalls, those unfettered days, and then I can't find it anymore, everything is far away.

A little sparrow quietly landed on the pear tree beside me, singing a sad song.Little Sparrow, you shouldn't go back to Tongzi Town, although this is your home.
