Chapter 10 Let's go to the sea

The weather was sweltering, and the mosquitoes were biting badly at night. Unexpectedly, it rained heavily in the middle of the night, and it continued to fall until dawn.We have three days off after the funfair, and after three days we go to school to pick up homework problems, and the summer vacation begins.I don't have to go to school today. The rain washed the yard once, so clean!The morning sun shines on the morning sun, and the morning glory blooms beautifully by the wall.Walking to the corner, I suddenly remembered another corner.Was that tarpaulin burden washed away by the rain?And him?

When I thought of this, I couldn't help running out, regardless of whether I would be seen by others.The grass was still wet, and as soon as I pushed it away, the mercury hit me all over my face.Sure enough, he was inside!But he is no longer at the fair. Yesterday he sat upright in the auditorium, with a straight back and a straight neck.Now what!His hands were covered with water and mud, and his bald head was covered with water beads.He was sitting on something, his chin was propped up with both hands, his thick upper lip was biting his thick lower lip, he didn’t smile when he saw me go, he must be thinking about his own thoughts, and ignored me.

After a while, he asked me: "Xiao Yingzi, let me ask you, did you touch this burden yesterday?" I shake my head.Looking at the bundle from the side, the stones on it are gone, and the bundle is not as neat as yesterday. "I don't think it's you either," he said to himself with his head down, "but it would be fine if you were." "It's not me!" I would swear, "I can't move the rock on it." I paused and finally said boldly: "Besides, you know that the school had a fair yesterday." "Yes, I saw you. " I smiled and hoped that he would praise my little sparrow for acting well, but he didn't seem to care about it anymore. He took my hand and said sadly:

"I can't stay here for long, do you understand?" I didn't understand, so I looked straight at him without nodding or shaking my head.He added: "Don't look for me here again, we can meet everywhere in the future, can't we? Little sister, I can't forget you, you are smart, clever, and kind. We are also good friends! This is for you, This time you have to accept it." He took a string of beads from his pocket, but I refused to take it. "Don't worry, this is my own. Grandma gave me so many things! I have lost all of them, and there is only this string of small ivory beads left. Somehow, they are hung on the frame and have never moved. However, I wanted to give it to you today, because we are destined. Xiaoyingzi, remember, I am not a bad person!"

What he said was honest and pleasant, so I took it, twisted it twice, and put it on my wrist. I still have a lot to say to him, like his brother, yesterday's fair, but he holds me by the shoulder: "Go back, Xiaoyingzi, let me think about it myself. Don't come here again these two days, the wind outside seems to be alas, it seems to be bad!" I had no choice but to back out. I stepped out of the broken brick wall, and I couldn't help pushing the beads up my arm and covering them with my sleeves. I was afraid that that unknown man would come and ask for it again.
