Chapter 91: Cloud Shadow in January 1997

Cloud Shadow in January 1997

After the New Year's Day, the Spring Festival is not far away, and the whole county is filled with the atmosphere of the New Year's Eve.

The first and second year of high school will have a vacation for ten days. Our third year of high school will have to make up classes. We will not have a vacation until the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month. We will continue to have classes on the third day of the new year. Everyone is complaining.

My parents looked through the thick stack of photos and were relieved to hear that the village in the opposite world had been covered with snow, and the werewolves should not appear again.

In any case, they can't imagine how the villagers will respond when the hairy, fang-toothed monsters break into the village. My dad is contacting his acquaintances in the countryside and wants to get me some dirt guns. The county here is illegal, and he still thinks that I can better protect myself and Wang Jerry with a gun.

In my opinion, guns are unnecessary. Now my super power is not as lethal as guns, but the force of the stone spears flying out and piercing the planks is enough to protect me and Wang Jerry very well.

I am now focusing on keeping a 120kg rock in the air for three seconds, and can direct it with my hands to make a 25kg bag of rice more than five meters away from me fly to where I want it to fall by itself, The error is not more than one decimeter.

I have tried, as long as I am careful enough, my super power can gently lift my son off the ground and float in the air for fifteen seconds. Jerry Wang really likes the feeling of flying into the air, giggling all the time, if he hadn't held it up He is equivalent to me doing three or four hours of physical work at a time, and I must play with him often.

Flying to the sky is a small dream in my heart. Ever since standing on a weighing scale and using my ability to lighten the reading by 30 pounds, I know that it is completely possible to use my superpower to "hold" myself into the air, and I have high expectations. One day he will be able to rely on his superpower to lift his feet off the ground, or even fly into the air to overlook the earth. That will be an indescribably beautiful scene.

My parents scoffed at my wishes. They insisted that I should keep a low profile. It is better not to use my superpowers in this world. Otherwise, once someone finds out, it would be the best outcome for our family to escape from the county. I am afraid it is unavoidable to be locked up, tortured and pressed for secrets.

I feel sad every time my parents keep telling me that I can't share my secrets with Liang Jiangbo and Tian Xin, and sending them some vegetables and berries in the name of local products is the limit of what I can do.

My mom knows my reliance on friends, but friends are friends, and she doesn't allow me to be self-willed in a crucial part of my life and my family's life, and she's become a bit neurotic since she got pregnant.

Yes, yes, I understand that I am a god in the sky, and I shouldn't get too close to mortals. Liang Jiangbo and Tian Xin would both talk about girlfriends in college, then graduate to work and get married, but my future is all unknown. We are not all the way.

But what can I do?

Sometimes I also have insomnia, lying in bed tossing and turning, if I don't go to the opposite world, if I don't have superpowers, will I be less troubled than I am now, and become an ordinary person, like all ordinary people Like a good person, I studied, looked for a job, and then asked my wife to get married and have a big fat boy for my parents to hug.

In that case, my friendship with Liang Jiangbo and Tian Xin will last a lifetime, our children will become good friends, and we will go out to play chess and fish when we get old...

That's not bad, isn't it?

...but I can't.

I can't let go of Wang Jerry in the opposite world, can't let go of my dog, can't let go of everything in the village, my concern for that world keeps me the way I am now.

I actually know very well that as my superpowers increase, my body is constantly changing. My hair color, my eye color, and my skin tone are just superficial, something deeper It's changing all the time, but I don't want to admit it exists.

I actually know that I haven't really grown up since 1992. I know that every month in this world, my body will grow and age with time for a month, but after crossing the stone gate, the opposite force will be like "reversing the car" Makes me a month younger, my hair is obviously longer, and my stature is obviously getting taller, but all the changes just changed me from the twelve years old I was in the old state to the twelve years old I am in the current state. Judging from the appearance and the development of my secondary sexual characteristics, I have been maintained at the age of twelve, and this state has been maintained for eight years.

I understand that there is a high probability that I will not change much in the next days, whether it is my height or my appearance will become less and less, the people around me will become youth over time, and Although I am as tall as them, my physical condition is still that of a junior high school student, and I am only a junior high school student with adequate nutrition and a taller one.

I won't become young, I won't become middle-aged, and I won't become old.

If I continue to live my current life, then my physical condition will remain the same, they will eventually grow old, and I will always be young.

This is a blessing that other people dare not dream of, but I am hesitant, I don't know if this is what I want.

Most of the reason people are depressed is because they insist on what they should not get. I am reluctant to give up, so I am particularly entangled in the choice of one and the other.

Others don't know my troubles, they just think I'm a little anxious, probably because the college entrance examination is approaching and the schoolwork is under great pressure.

When I was doing my homework with Liang Jiangbo and the others, I would be in a daze from time to time. When they asked me what was on my mind, I would feel sad when I smiled and dealt with it.

I can't tell them that I don't want to be farther and farther from them. After all, the reason why I study so hard is to be able to study for the same university as them. I don't want to separate even if I work or get married, but we can't be like now forever. Just as carefree.

When I listened to the song with Liang Jiangbo, there was a sentence called "good brother has this life but not the next". When we listened, we were both lying on the bed, I was leaning on Liang Jiangbo's arm, he scratched my hair with his hand, I listened and listened. Then sing along.

I didn't sing very well, and I was absent-minded, not as serious as Liang Jiangbo sang.

He must not know, I don't even have this life with him.

In fact, I have very little time for sentimentality. Most of the time, I am confusedly happy, burying my head in reviewing, and greedily enjoying the time with my buddies.

I know very well that such a good time is one day less, and we may go to the same university, but our separation is already doomed.

As the Spring Festival is approaching, the sales of handicrafts in our canteen are getting better and better. Crystal sculptures with the words "Fu", "Lu", "Shou" and "Hi" are still the most popular among adults. The peony is surrounded by ingots, coins, and carp condensed by golden yellow crystals, which also makes old men and women fond of it. They hold the leaves like jasper trays and look at the lifelike rich peony. No one does not like it.

I carefully control the blushing crystal to condense into the thin and transparent petals of peony. Each sculpture is my hard work. The large two-meter-high crystal peony sculpture sells for less than 30 yuan, and it is covered with agate and jade. The gilt gold money tree of the gem is also the same price, which can be said to be very affordable.

In fact, peony and ingots are not my favorite styles. I made these ornaments just because the festive spirit is most popular with the neighbors. Those ornaments are selling really hot, especially the yellow peony table lampshade inlaid with gold edge is out of stock again and again.

No one knows that the 30-dollar "glass peony" is made of crystal and agate, and no one believes that the 30-dollar "Fortune Tree" is actually hung with white jade, jade, ruby, tourmaline and aquamarine. The body of the crystal tree is also plated with more than one gram of pure gold. Anyway, the gold foil is wrapped in crystal, and the neighbors can't pull it off, so naturally they will not think that the 'crafts' they buy may actually cost more than 30 yuan.

My parents don't object to me putting gold into sculptures and selling them cheaply. There is a cloth bag for gold coins at home. If you don't spend them, you won't be able to use them. The money for delivering supplies and tools across the street is enough for my family to spend a year in comfort.

The cleaning was done by me a year ago.

My mother has praised me for my superpowers more than a hundred times. I made the two-story building at home clean and spotless with a single thought. If she was holding a mop and a small rag, she would be exhausted.

Our county is close to the desert, and it stands to reason that the sand in the yard is the most suffocating, and no matter how beautiful the garden is covered with a layer of dust, it is not worth seeing. It's different with me. Every morning and evening, when I go out and come back, I will habitually "scan" the whole yard with my mind. All the dust and garbage are collected and put into the garbage can, so my yard is as clean and tidy as it is. Compared with other people's homes, the appearance naturally looks beautiful and stylish.

In the winter, the fish pond freezes, and the bluestone carp sculpture that was sprayed with water has no water curtain protection. Standing alone on the ice is very pitiful. A cover was placed on the outside, and then it was transformed into a big fat fish with a round head and a big clear tail. The scales and fins on the fish were expressed by thick ice flakes. It looked quite simple and honest. The original photo of the yard at night When the spotlights of the bright pool fountain are turned on, the originally bare sculpture becomes crystal clear.

It is also interesting to say that it is very difficult to control water, but ice is much easier. Although there is no way to lift hundreds of kilograms as easily as controlling rocks, the division and deformation of five or six catties of ice are only a matter of a few movements. This attempt made me very satisfied, because not only can I make ice sculptures here, but I can also make some interesting works in this cold winter in another world. I believe my precious son will like it.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, my family is also busy preparing for the New Year’s gifts. I can still remember the days in the low and dilapidated old house in previous years. When the sun is shining at noon, my mother hugs me and accompanies my father to lie on the sofa in the sun, talking about the past. The life is also very sad. The three of us have never hoped that we can live such a life as we are now.

This kind of life has a price. My parents have basically cut off contact with relatives on both sides. Others say that we are ruthless, that we are rich and unkind, and slander and slander our family in secret, but we live our lives by ourselves, like people Drinking water is cold and warm.

In any case, not getting together with relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year makes us all feel a little desolate, and the festive pendants and Spring Festival couplets cannot change the atmosphere.

Maybe it's time to take it easy and make friends with relatives again. As long as the past suspicions are cleared up, everyone will still be good relatives.

Or maybe this family really needs to add new members, and my mother's slightly bulging belly is where the new members of the family are.

The originally empty "study" directly below my room has been simply furnished. Due to the fact that I don't know the baby's gender, it cannot be further improved. I believe it will be a perfect baby room.

Pregnancy did not affect my mother's work and rest time. She still runs around to help her son and the "folks" from across the world to buy supplies. She said that she has something to do that enriches her, and what she is doing now is also for her son. Buy an "industry" in that world.

In this world, even the wind and sand in the cold winter can't stop the Spring Festival from coming. My excellent performance in the final exam gave me and my parents a big surprise, and made the Spring Festival in the next short vacation even more worth celebrating.

But at the end of the month, I still have to travel to the other world. For them, the Spring Festival is just around the corner. In my opinion, it is still a month away. My parents laughed and helped me prepare all kinds of odds and ends for Shimen. I am so lucky.

Are you lucky? maybe.

Raising my hand to conduct a bag of tools flying over the Shimen and lined up neatly, humming a song, I feel like an artist conducting an orchestra.

Back to Shanghe Village, which I am familiar with, there are no parents I care about, no good friends, but there are my precious son, my beloved big dog, and the mud legs that I love and hate, They are the ones who make me love this world.

After boiling water and taking a comfortable bath in his own bathtub, he lay on the warm kang and watched Wang Jerry, who was sleeping soundly. This little guy put on the quilt and forked it into a domineering "big" character today, compared to his father's sleep Much worse, it should be doing a sweet dream, and smacking his lips from time to time.

I suddenly feel that I don't need to worry about gains and losses at all. Rather than thinking and asking for troubles, I should cherish the present, because this is my irreplaceable happy life.
