Bamboo horse, bamboo horse, cheating and fraud

I left there alone and pondered for a long time without any results. I was very depressed. Seeing a group of children setting off fireworks there, I surrounded them curiously.Seeing me so half-hearted, Yun Sui seemed a little dissatisfied: "It's played by children, why are you joining in the fun?"

I stuck out my tongue at him: "I'm a child too, can't I?"

He curled his lips helplessly, as if he was subdued by my thick skin again, and let me pull him to squeeze into the crowd.

"Hey Yunxuan, you said that people invented firecrackers to drive away the Nian Beast, so these children are still running around at night, aren't they afraid of being caught by the Nian Beast and devoured alive!"

Yun Rong gave me a complicated look: "They're all things to fool children, and only you will believe them!"

I stopped arguing with him, and just stared at those fiery trees and silver flowers, lost in memory.

When I was a child, firecrackers were also set off on New Year's Eve, but my family was poor at that time, so it was good enough to afford a pair of firecrackers.I often took the firecrackers off the firecrackers one by one when my father was away, and took them to the entrance of the village to release them with other children.When Dad came back and saw that there were only half the firecrackers left, he couldn't help scolding him, but after the firecrackers that should have been released, he couldn't do anything about me.At most, change the place in the next year, hide the firecrackers, and then I will always find a way to dig them out like a mouse digging a hole.

Firecrackers unwrapped from firecrackers have much shorter firing wires than ordinary firecrackers, and I suffered from this once, when it ignited and before I could throw it out, it exploded between my fingers.Immediately my whole thumb was bloody, but I was afraid of being scolded and didn't dare to tell my father, so I cried and went to the quack doctor in the village.Later, Dad naturally knew about it, but because I was a disabled person, he didn't get angry, he just scolded "I have brought it on myself", and the matter was turned over like this?

I haven't returned to my hometown for ten years, so I really want to go back and have a look. I don't know if the small village is still lacking in supplies as before, and there is not even a fireworks seller.But in fact, the old days were good, people worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, and the children’s minds were all about eating, sleeping and playing; unlike now, you have to worry about it all the time, you will never know the colorful and various kinds of fireworks. Behind the floating light, what kind of conspiracy and danger is watching you.

The children couldn't bear it, and gradually went back to sleep; the adults had to watch the year, and at this time, there were still many people in the street bragging about loose cattle.

When I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt a mass of warmth wrapped around my palm——Yun Rong held my hand.

I subconsciously wanted to break free, but the strength in his hand was astonishing, so I had no choice but to let him pull me very uncomfortable.

"I know what you're going to ask. You guessed right. Ten years ago, I was abducted to a brothel. Those prostitutes were angry with men at night, and they often vented on me during the day. If things go on like this, as soon as I get close to a woman, I will It is extremely uncomfortable, so I am doomed to be a broken sleeve for the rest of my life!"

It's not that I haven't imagined this possibility before, but when he told me the truth without changing his expression, my heart seemed to be squeezed tightly by a pair of big hands.

Premonitioning what he was going to say next, I subconsciously wanted to find an opportunity to divert the topic, but he didn't seem to want me to do so, and continued to say calmly: "But I think, even if I haven't experienced the brothel I still can't change the fact of that unbearable time, because you know, Xu Zifang..."

He turned my shoulders to meet him. Under the moonlight that was not full, our eyes met. A beam of fireworks rose into the night sky, and the brilliant brilliance that exploded filled his eyes.He continued to finish what he had just said word by word:

"In the past ten years, I have been thinking about you all the time. In the poem just now, every line is a riddle, and the answer to the riddle is a complete sentence - 'I miss you very much'!"

I couldn't stand the stimulation, I just felt that my mind was empty, and my mind had already flown into the dark blue night sky with the fireworks, but my body seemed to be out of my control.

After he finished all this, he turned his head away and put me aside: "I know that I will feel uncomfortable after listening to you, but that's what I really think."

In a trance, I opened my mouth like a nightmare, and the syllables that came out of my throat were extremely strange.

I said, "Actually, I don't hate it either."

He looked at me in astonishment, another burst of fireworks exploded in the sky, and the vast expanse of the sky instantly brightened like day. Under the night sky, his pupils were lit with light, and the dazzling brilliance in his eyes was like a river of stars.

My mind is already in a mess, those words are really a bit of melon, he won't misunderstand something...

I was about to explain, but he put an index finger to my lips.The night wind blows through the streets and alleys, the temperature between his fingers is half cooler than that of the moonlight, but the little smile on the corner of his mouth is still warm:

"I know, you don't need to answer me in a hurry."

After saying this, he stopped looking at me and went straight through the sparse crowd into the house.

I was left there alone by him, neither standing nor chasing after him. I walked along the street twice as if I was sleepwalking.

After this kind of thing happened, I was not in the mood to watch the New Year anymore, I lay down on the bed with all my clothes on, and the prosperity of the capital that I was greedy for made me feel stuck in my throat at this moment.

Pulling up the quilt and covering my head, the sound of firecrackers was still heard, I kicked off the quilt, and yelled: "What kind of firecrackers are set off at night, disturbing people's dreams, are they annoying!"

Immediately afterwards, I felt that my anger was very inexplicable, and it was really unreasonable for the New Year's Eve, so I simply changed the target and scolded:

"Dead Yunxuan, stinky Yunxuan, when you're too idle, you're in a panic and looking for something to do, you only think about stupid things!"

After cursing like this, I felt much more at ease, but more images flooded my mind—when I was a child, he was sitting on a street corner reading a book, and the first ray of morning light brushed over his white, tender and plump cheeks and projected them on the yellowed book ;he walked alone in the snow, the black cloak covered with snowflakes; under the dignified moon sky, he could look back, his watery eyes were like two deep pools, the bottom of the pool was clear but there were stars shining...

After much deliberation, I couldn't sleep anymore, my heart was filled with gunpowder smoke, and I realized that I had already enshrined Yunzhu as a shrine in my heart, but at this moment, there is no god who can guide me...

Early the next morning, I changed into new clothes, went out with a pair of panda eyes on my face, and met Yun Sui again. I could only curse in my heart that the road is narrow.

He looked at me, and only said lightly: "I look like a dog after changing clothes." After that, he went into the house as if nothing had happened.

I spat behind him: "Bah, showman!"
