Chapter 273 Chapter Thirty-Nine

Master Yi turned his head to look at Uncle Jin for a long time, and then said: "How many people should go if you don't go alone?" Master Yi left after speaking. Uncle Jin thought that Master Yi's apprentice couldn't go with him to work as a carpenter in the Hong family, so he didn't take Master Yi's words to heart. That night, Uncle Jin lay down on the new wooden bed early after eating.Under the soft straw cushion, Uncle Jin is as comfortable and comfortable as lying in the clouds in the sky.Soon, the smiling Uncle Jin fell into a sweet dreamland. Chi Chi Chi Chi, Uncle Jin wriggled his mouth.

Chi Chi Chi Chi, Uncle Jin turned over. Chi Chi Chi Chi, Uncle Jin jumped up! "Who is it!" Uncle Jin shouted.The wife next to him was also awakened by his voice. "What's wrong?" asked the wife. Uncle Jin said: "Your eyes are farsighted. Could it be that your ears can't hear at a distance? You heard the sound a few days ago from a long distance, but now you can't hear the sound in front of you?" "What's that sound?" His wife squinted his eyes and said, "I've been busy with farm work all day, and I'm too tired. It just so happens that the new bed is relatively soft, so I fell asleep. If it weren't for your voice, it would be worse than thunder." Big, I won't wake up yet. What's wrong with you? What's the sound?" After she finished speaking, she looked around, trying to find something.But that voice is gone.

"What kind of sound is it? Why didn't it sound when we woke up? It must be made by living things, not the sound made by the wind or other things." Uncle Jin guessed.He lifted the quilt, put on his shoes and went to look around the room. "It must be nearby. The sound I heard just now is much closer than what I heard yesterday and the day before yesterday. Maybe it's right next to us." "It's right next to us?" Uncle Jin's wife felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard it. He hurriedly sat up from the bed, hugged the quilt tightly, and looked around like a feather duster.

"Yes. This time is different from last time. Last time it was in the main room, but this time I heard it by my side." Uncle Jin said while looking for it. "Then did you find anything?" Grandma, who was listening to Uncle Jin's story, couldn't help but ask. "If you find it, will you come to Master Ma for help?" Uncle Jin replied, "I searched and searched, but I didn't find anything abnormal. Later, I had no choice but to lie down again." Unexpectedly, as soon as he lay down, the voice sounded in Uncle Jin's ear again.Chi Chi Chi Chi... Chi Chi Chi Chi...

Uncle Jin became smart this time, and signaled his wife not to move or make a sound.He himself lay quietly on the bed, not daring to move a bit.He listened carefully to this strange sound, and slowly found the source of the sound.That sound really seemed to be made by a living thing. Seeing that Uncle Jin and his wife didn't respond, it probably thought that they were both asleep, so it crawled even more recklessly.Chi Chi... Chi Chi Chi... Chi Chi Chi Chi... Uncle Jin finally found the source of the sound.The sound came from the edge of the bed, first crawling from one end of the edge of the bed to the other, and then from the other end of the edge of the bed to this end, and so on, endlessly.

It would be fine if the sound only sounded for a while, or even for a day, but that sound seemed to be deliberately trying to make things difficult for Uncle Jin, and it sounded every time he waited for him to sleep soundly.When Uncle Jin came together, the voice fell silent; as soon as Uncle Jin lay down, the voice remained the same.Uncle Jin later took two balls of cotton from the quilt and stuffed them in his ears, but the sound came from the bed instead of elsewhere, so as long as Uncle Jin’s head was next to the bed, he could hear it, and three or four balls could be heard again. to no avail.

At first, Uncle Jin tried every means to fight against this voice, but after tossing for a long time, he found that all the efforts were in vain, so he had to ask Grandpa for help. "To untie the bell, one has to tie it." Grandpa said. "What do you mean?" Uncle Jin asked. "The problem must be in your bed." After finishing his cigarette, Grandpa took out the cigarette case from his pocket, flicked the bottom of the case with his yellowed middle finger, and half of a cigarette jumped out of it.Grandpa took out the jumping cigarette and handed it to Uncle Jin, and he flicked one and put it in his mouth.

That Uncle Jin is really stingy, obviously he came to ask his grandfather for help, but he didn't offer cigarettes to his grandfather, but smoked his grandfather's cigarettes one by one.It's not that he didn't bring a cigarette, I saw a boxy thing in his coat pocket. Uncle Jin didn't care so much, he put the cigarettes given by his grandfather on his ears, and said, "I also know that it's the bed. But I can't find out what's wrong." "Of course you can't find it! You are not a master carpenter, how do you find out? If you want to find it, go to Master Yi." Grandpa frowned and said.

"What do you want him to do? Could it be that something is causing trouble in my room?" Uncle Jin went straight to the point. "Don't ask me, you can ask Master Yi yourself!" Grandpa was a little angry. "Oh, oh." Uncle Jin seemed a little embarrassed.He took out the cigarette case from his coat pocket.I thought he was finally going to offer his grandfather a cigarette, but unexpectedly he took the cigarette from his ear, stuffed it into his own cigarette case, and put the case back into his pocket.He patted his pocket to make sure the cigarette case was not put elsewhere, and then got up: "Then, shall I go to see Master Yi now?"

"Yes, yes. Go find Master Yi." Grandpa waved to him impatiently, like chasing a duck. Uncle Jin left.Grandma looked at Uncle Jin's back and said with a smile, "Look at this cheapskate, he deserves it!" Grandpa didn't speak, but just lowered his head and thought about something.Smoke burned silently between his fingers.The smoke from the cigarette butt was very straight and thin, rising, rising, rising again, and then drifted away without even a transition. The sun has risen, but the sun cannot be seen from the gate of grandpa's house.There are houses in front of my grandfather's house, blocking the mountains in front.But the sunlight crossed the gray tiles and mud walls and scattered into the grandfather's ground, drawing irregular polygons.

Grandma began to wash the clothes and sheets on the floor, and then dried them one by one on the bamboo poles in the three-dimensional sunlight.Grandpa squinted his eyes to see the three-dimensional sunlight, thinking about things that others didn't know. The backyard of my grandfather's house is very empty, and there are no buildings around it. You can see a beautiful sunset.Half of the backyard is surrounded by a bamboo fence. Grandpa plowed the field inside the bamboo fence, and grandma planted vegetables inside.Before I was in college, I often secretly picked cucumbers and tomatoes to eat. I was going to the backyard to see if the tomatoes were red.At this time, grandpa stopped me: "Liangzi, let's go to see Master Yi."
