Butterfly hairpin

When he came to Uncle Su's house, Uncle Su was stuffing firewood next to the cauldron outside the door. He looked up at Li Quanyou and didn't make a sound, but the dogs were particularly enthusiastic when they saw Li Quanyou.Li Quanyou walked to Uncle Su, stopped the dog, and looked at the two low earthen houses in front of him. The room on the left was full of sundries, the half-drawn roof was sunken, and there was no door. The main door was open, but it was pitch black inside, and it felt like someone was about to burst out at any moment.Li Quanyou lifted the lid of the pot suspended by a rope, but saw a few jujubes floating on it, and rice the size of a palm spread out on the bottom of the pot.

Li Quanyou asked Uncle Su to sit in the room, but Uncle Su didn't answer or refute, he entered the room silently, the dog outside the door was howling, Li Quanyou took a look at them, and after a while, there was no sound .

"Don't drink porridge, I brought some appetizers, we two sit here and drink some"

Uncle Su seemed to be touched, just at this time the pendulum in the room rang twice, it was already 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Quanyou put the wine and meat on the shelf on the left hand side of the washbasin, and filled the table The small black and dirty square table was moved to the door, and he brought newspapers and spread them on top, but the room was full of earthen pits, and the table was wobbly and could not be placed properly. Li Quanyou found a few broken bricks and placed them under the table.

Uncle Su was sitting on his kang. The floor was already torn and torn. Although the cotton was exposed outside, it was so dark that it merged with the light inside the room. The bright red peony pattern on it, the quilt is made of cotton silk, it is a new quilt that Li Quanyou sent over a few months ago, except for him, no one in this village will enter this old man's door again.

Li Quanyou set the table, put the vegetable box, wine and the cups he brought.He looked at Uncle Su who was sitting on the kang, the light was too dim, he couldn't even see the old man's face clearly, they ate at the door every time, because only here was the light.Li Quanyou looked outside the house again. Uncle Su's house is located on the embankment of the dam. When walking down, you have to cross a wheat field to get to the small dirt road just now, which is only two people wide. The dirt road extends to the nearby Zhuangzi. It was where Li Quanyou and Mo Yugang stopped.The surrounding area was empty, and behind it was a dry river. These two houses echoed the two adobes that had just passed by. They were condescending, staring at Su Liyang with a pair of evil eyes.

Li Quanyou turned around and went back to the house. There was another door leading to the left room, but the main door of the left room was blocked by sundries, so he had to enter through this room.Lift off the iron sheet on the floor of the left room, and there is a passage with steps below. Li Quanyou walked down as usual, but this time he didn't stay long. When he came up again, Uncle Su was stirring the batter in the pot. He sat down and watched the dog staring at him eagerly.After a while, old man Su came over and sat down tremblingly with porridge, he only brought a bowl, he knew whether Li Quanyou was eating with him or not.

Li Quanyou took out some warm meat and pig's trotters from the lunch box, broke off a piece of rotten meat and put it in Uncle Su's bowl. Uncle Su was probably really hungry, so he sucked the porridge in the bowl along the side. He picked up the meat and ate it without hesitation.Seeing that Uncle Su had almost eaten, Li Quanyou poured the wine and held it to Uncle Su. Uncle Su took the wine but did not drink it. He looked at Li Quanyou with cloudy eyes, with an indescribable complex emotion .

Li Quanwang looked at the old man in front of him, and his heart was also overwhelmed.After that night, the old man was trapped in this village and was driven to the embankment amidst the village's clubs and curses.Li Quanyou witnessed all this, but because of his mother's obstruction, he failed to find Uncle Su.When he walked out of Su Liyang and came back again, he came to visit Uncle Su immediately, but luckily he never encountered any disturbance.It's just that Su Xingwang also came with him. When they came to the hut, Uncle Su was sitting in front of the door. Places that are not far away, those that are far away cannot be reached, and those that are close can hear the words. Li Quanyou has already forgotten what they said when they met for the first time. He only remembers that Uncle Su shouted at himself, but he didn't say a single word. He didn't say anything, and finally knelt on the ground with a plop.Since then, when Uncle Su was mentioned in the village, even the name that did not belong to him - Su Shijie, didn't even bother to call it, and just called it dumb.

In fact, Uncle Su can talk, but he doesn't want to talk, and he doesn't talk much. Maybe the ruthlessness of the years has overwhelmed him, and he will suddenly call out his son, but where is his son?Maybe he is eager to have a son now, even if it is someone else's son, maybe he will be taken care of when he grows up by his side, but sometimes he will see Li Quanyou suddenly kneel down like that for the first time, and say in tears that he is wrong , He lost his son.So he yelled at his son's son and cried a lot.When the weather is good, he will sometimes go to the village. At first, everyone will drive him back with a broom. When no one paid attention to him, he ran back to his room laughing wildly.This is probably a way for him to vent his reality.

Li Quanyou clinked glasses with Uncle Su, and drank the wine in one gulp. Uncle Su put it in his mouth, but he didn't drink it after all, and turned around to fill another bowl of porridge.

"Go to the pig factory and show me the door. I have a separate room there and a coal stove. I won't freeze you in winter."

Uncle Su shook his head

"If you stay here, your son will never come back."

"I don't have a son, I don't have anything." Uncle Su took a sip of his wine, took a deep breath, and wiped his tears with his sleeve.

Li Quanyou handed over a handkerchief, and Uncle Su took it and put it beside him, lowered his head and sighed, "Don't come!"

"If I don't come, who else will come here?"

Uncle Su put down the bowls and chopsticks, crying: "It's my fault, I don't expect you..."

"If you go back to that night, will you still be the first to pick up the stone?"

Uncle Su didn't answer, but just whimpered. Li Quanwang looked far away and stopped asking.

Back in the house, lit a candle, Uncle Su put away the bowls and chopsticks, tremblingly went back to the house and sat by the bed, still maintaining the posture that Li Quanyou had just arrived, Li Quanyou walked up to Uncle Su Beside, the smell of urine became stronger here, and Li Quanyou only felt itchy throat.He wanted to sit down, but found that a piece of the quilt was wet.The back of my head is still chilly, a few wooden sticks are missing from the back window, and the layer of window paper has long since flown away. Looking around, there are tree branches outside, bench legs and soy sauce bottles piled up in the corners around. Half a bag of good noodles and half a jug of oil are placed on a crumbling shelf, and the coal stove is only left with briquettes that have burned out a long time ago.

Li Quanyou helped Uncle Su up, "You can sleep in my pig farm today, I will take you there"

Uncle Su pushed Li Quanyou's hand away with his elbow, "Hurry up, you won't be able to see the road when it gets dark."

Li Quanyou sighed, turned around to leave, and heard Uncle Su say indifferently: "Turn out the light for me."

Li Quanyou blew out the candle, and the surrounding darkness surrounded him at once. Li Quanyou stood in place with his eyes closed. No one knew what he was thinking, nor could he clearly see the expression on his face.He walked out of the house and saw the dog pawing and pulling on the ground.There is only a little light outside, and there is an endless black hole behind.He walked on the embankment for a while, but returned the same way.
