The last elf

The time in the evening is extremely leisurely. After dinner, rural people either go for a walk in the village or visit a neighbor's house, and then watch TV. To be honest, I haven't watched TV for a long time. The long-term fast-paced life in the city has almost made me tired. I forgot about the existence of this old technology. Now that I came to this comfortable environment, I couldn't help but turn on the TV, and then sat in front of the TV with Xueying and looked for programs. Now that I think about it, this is also a kind of Rare happiness. .

After much searching, I finally found a pretty good TV series called "Living Buddha Jigong".

I have to say that the Jigong played by Chen Haomin in this movie is really handsome, and the special effects are also very good, and the storyline is even more attractive. I remember the first time I watched this movie was when I was in junior high school. Now "The Living Buddha Jigong" has been filmed for the first time. Three movies, time flies so fast, we have all grown up in a blink of an eye.

When she saw Bai Ling transforming from a fox into a human form, Xueying looked at the screen and said blankly: "Li Li turned into a human in this way at that time... I wonder what she would think if she saw this now."

"I don't know what she will think. Anyway, she will definitely not be able to sleep at night after reading it."

After watching it for about an hour, I started to feel sleepy, and my eyelids kept narrowing. But Xueying was watching with gusto, and she didn't look sleepy at all.

"No, I'm so sleepy. It's already ten o'clock. I'm going to bed first! You should go to bed early and don't watch it too late."

"Well, good night, Xiaofengfeng. You go to sleep first. I'll watch it for a while and then go to sleep." After Xueying said that, she continued to read, and I climbed onto the bed and covered myself with the quilt, but I didn't fall asleep immediately. , due to external influences, although Xueying turned down the TV sound, the light on the TV screen was still on. Even though I closed my eyes, I still vaguely felt the light.

I don't see any light when sleeping, and even a small amount of light around me will affect my sleep, so when I usually sleep, I keep the surrounding environment dark so that I can fall asleep easily.

So I had to cover my eyes with my arms. Although this method worked, it was uncomfortable. Fortunately, I finally fell asleep after half an hour.

I didn't sleep well this time. When I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, I saw Xueying still sitting in front of the TV.

"Oh my god, it's half past two and you're still not asleep?! You've been watching for a long time and then fall asleep!" I came to Xueying and looked at her in disbelief and said.

But she stuck out her tongue at me and showed an innocent expression.

"Go to sleep!" I frowned, and then turned off the TV. Seeing that I turned off her TV, Xueying sat there blankly for a few seconds, then pouted her lips and crawled over without saying a word. Went to bed.

When I came back from using the bathroom, I saw that she had fallen asleep under the quilt, but her back was turned to me.

I lay down and hugged her from behind with my hands, but she shook her body, got out of my arms and fell asleep a little inside.

"Oh, are you still angry? Are you trying to fight with me?" I said speechlessly.

She didn't say anything, and it looked like she was really angry with me.

"Why don't you just turn off the TV? It's not like this, right?! What time is it now? It's almost dawn! Can't you wait until dawn before watching?"

No matter what I said, she remained silent. This was the first time I had seen this situation. Could it be that the first conflict between Xueying and I since we got married was caused by a TV? Isn't this too tragic? !

Later, I talked for a long time, so that in the end I fell asleep, and she still didn't say a word. But when I woke up in the morning, I found that Xueying was sleeping with me in her arms. She hadn't woken up yet. I recalled carefully that she still ignored me when I fell asleep. From this, I can conclude that she waited for me to fall asleep and took the initiative to turn around and hug me. She just didn't know that she was awake at the time. He was still asleep.

After reasoning, I swallowed. This is too scary. They say marriage is the tomb of love. With such a good relationship between Xueying and I, it will now reach the point of a cold war. I really can’t imagine how we will live in the future. Fortunately, we are in a cold war and not fighting. If we really fight, I will be killed by her, so the saying that people often say: "If you can BB, don't fight." is very reasonable, at least it suits me very well. .

"Get up..." I patted her a few times, but there was no response. It seemed that she hadn't slept enough because I watched TV too late last night, so I had to get up quietly by myself.

At this time, Aunt Huilian had gotten up early, and Xu Zichen took the fishing rod to go fishing again. I had to wash up and have breakfast by myself. After breakfast, I went for a walk at the entrance of the village.

When I passed by the door of the old woman's house, she happened to see me and invited me to her house for breakfast. I thought that I didn't have a good chat with her when I came here yesterday, so I just smiled and went in. After I entered, she asked Me: "Where's the girl you were with yesterday?"

"She's not awake yet." I answered truthfully.

But she came up to me and looked at me carefully, and then asked: "Are you two having an argument? You were fine yesterday, but you have dark circles under your eyes after just one night, and your complexion is not very good."

"Mother-in-law, how did you know?!" I asked in surprise.

"Hey! How old am I? I've seen these things a lot. It's normal for young people like you to have conflicts. You still have teeth to bite your tongue! As the saying goes, couples quarrel at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed. Some It's over when it's over, it's not a big deal, it's not easy along the way, if you two understand each other and admit your mistake, won't everything be over?"

The old woman’s words made me full of emotions. It was indeed not easy for Xueying and I to go through this journey, but it was even more difficult for her. As a representative of the Spiritual Clan, she did not hesitate to give up everything and come to the mortal world to be with me. , she also gave birth to a daughter for me, and so many things happened during this period. Speaking of which, she really paid a lot for me, but I couldn't do anything for her.

Thinking of this, I took a deep breath and planned to apologize to Xueying when I went back, but at this time there was a sound of gongs at the door, three times and two times, which sounded very fresh.

"Mother-in-law, what are you doing outside? Why are you beating the gong so well?"

After hearing this, Grandma Xu looked at the calendar, and then said to herself: "It's the ninth day of July again, and the days go by so fast!"

"Huh? What happened to the ninth day of July?" I calculated the time. Today is August th, which is the ninth day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar. There are still thirteen days left before school starts. The days go by really fast.

"Every year on the ninth day of July, a traveler will come, carrying all kinds of treasures with him, and go from house to house to exchange treasures with people."

"Passenger? Change baby? Why can't I understand?"

"Don't worry, he will be here later. There is nothing to change in my house this year!" Grandma Xu said and went to pour tea, while I curiously stood by the door and waited.

After a few minutes, as expected, a tired old man walked in. When he walked in, he glanced at me first, and then said hello to Grandma Xu: "There are many winds and rains in the sky, and the birds in the forest return to their nests. Only the one who is on his way People are not afraid of bumpy roads!!!”

Grandma Xu brought the tea out with a smile and said: "Year after year, life is just a face, but the years are always wasted!!!"

I looked on in confusion. These two old men obviously knew each other, but why did they greet each other in such a special way? It's like a pair of secret codes.

After the old man sat down and took a sip of tea, Grandma Xu asked him: "How have you been this year? It seems that your body is not as strong as before. I guess you have encountered a lot of troubles, right?"

"Hey! Don't mention it! After all, one life is still there, which is a blessing and a curse!"

"It looks like we have a lot of treasures this year, and this big bag is much thicker than last year." Grandma Xu said, pointing to his blue cloth bag.

"I have indeed received a lot of treasures this year. Let's take a look and see if there is anything you like?" After saying this, the old man was about to open the blue cloth bag, but he glanced at me again and asked Grandma Xu: "Who is this child to you? I have always been there before. never seen it."

"He is a kid from the south. He came here specifically to see me. He was here last year. This kid is very nice." Grandma Xu said to him with a smile and then looked at me, her eyes full of kindness.

After hearing this, the old man looked at me carefully and thoughtfully, and then said to himself: "Looking at my appearance, I really don't look like a northerner. I look pretty good, but my complexion is a bit off."

It's over. Now anyone can see my panda eyes. It seems that it is wrong to have a conflict with my wife, especially at night, because the circles under my eyes will definitely turn black the next day.

Then the old man opened the blue cloth bag, and all kinds of objects appeared in front of us. They were all strange things, some of which we had never seen before.

"Hey! I got so many treasures this year, and they are all unknown things."

I took a look at the contents of the bag. There were teapots, fans, and some jade pendants. They looked very classical. Judging from my experience growing up in Jingdezhen, these things still have a certain collection value. .

"Is there anything you like? As usual, we will compare value for money and exchange equal amounts."

"Hey, I don't have anything to change this year!"

While they were talking, I knelt down and took a closer look at the pile of things in the blue cloth bag, and found that there was a shining spherical object in the innermost layer. I didn't pay much attention to it at first, until I looked more and more at it. The more wrong it becomes.

"This is……"

When the old man saw me staring at the thing in front of me, he smiled and said, "Young man, are you interested in this ball?"

"Can I pick it up and take a look?"

"Of course, just be careful not to damage it."

So I reached out and picked up the ball, then put it in front of my eyes and looked at the sky. I found that the inside of the ball was brown, and it was shining like stars under the sunlight, just like a night pearl.

The more I looked at it, the more excited I became, but just to be on the safe side I gently put it back into the blue cloth bag, and then said to the old man: "Old man, don't leave yet. Just wait for me here for a while. I'll be back soon!"

After saying that, I ran out immediately. On the way to Aunt Huilian's house, I became even more excited. It felt like Columbus discovered the New World.

But I am more awesome than Columbus! Because I discovered something even more exciting than the New World! ! !
