Appreciation of tom sawyer Fragments

That's a bit ~ Tom and Huck are going to take an adventure that night. They hung around the inn until after 9 o'clock. One looked at the alley from a distance, and the other looked at the door of the inn. There was no one in the alley, and there was no sign of the Spaniard coming in or out of the inn. It doesn't seem too dark at night. Before Tom went home, he made an agreement with Huck that Huck would come out and meow like a cat if the weather was fine at night. When Tom heard this, he slipped out and tried to open the door with a key. But it was bright that night. Huck stopped watching the wind around 12 and fell asleep in an empty sugar bucket. On Tuesday, the two children suffered the same bad luck, and so did on Wednesday. By Thursday night, the weather had improved. Tom took the opportunity to sneak out with an old tin lantern and a big towel to keep out the light. He hid the lantern in Huck's sugar bucket and began to observe the wind direction. An hour before midnight, the inn closed and even the only light went out. The Spaniard didn't show his face, and no one walked in the alley. Everything is safe. The night was deep, everything was quiet, and there was an occasional thunder or two in the distance. Tom picked up the lantern, lit it in the sugar bucket and wrapped it tightly in a towel. At night, two explorers crept towards the hotel. Huck stood guard and Tom groped into the alley. Huck waited anxiously for a long time, with a heavy heart like a mountain. He wants to see the lantern flash, which scares him, but at least it shows that he is still alive. Tom seems to have walked for hours. He must have fainted or died, or his heart burst with fear and excitement. Uneasy Huck has unconsciously approached the alley, full of fear, always ready to meet the unexpected arrival, and suddenly held his breath in fear. In fact, he is not very angry. He can only breathe bit by bit now, and if this continues, he will soon have heart failure. Suddenly the light flashed and Tom hurried past him. "Run!" He said, "Run for your life!" He doesn't need to repeat it, just once. Before Tom could say more, Huck's speed had reached thirty or forty miles per hour, and they rushed to the empty wooden shed in the old slaughterhouse at the head of the village. Hardly had they reached the eaves when the storm came, and then the rain poured down. As soon as Tom recovered his breath, he said, "Huck, that's terrible." I opened the door as quietly as possible and tried two keys. The sound was so loud that I couldn't breathe and the keys couldn't turn. Then somehow I grabbed the handle of the door, and the door opened and unlocked. I quickly jumped in and pulled off the towel on the lantern. God, I was almost scared to death. " "What is it? Tom, what do you see? " "Huck, I almost stepped on Injun Joe's hand!" "no!" "That's right! He lay there, fast asleep, his eyes covered with gauze and his arms spread out. " "My dear, what did you do? Is he awake? " "Didn't wake up, didn't move. I think I must be drunk. I grabbed the towel and ran out! " "If I were you, I wouldn't even want a towel." "I can't. If I lose my towel, menstruation will make me feel better. " "Hey, Tom, did you see that box!" "Huck, how can I have time to see it? I don't see a box or a cross. I didn't see anything except a bottle and a tin cup on the ground next to Injun Joe. By the way, I saw two barrels and a pile of bottles in the room. Do you understand, Huck? Tell me, what happened to that haunted house? " "What's the matter?" "Haunted, drunkard! Maybe all temperance hotels have haunted rooms. Hey, Huck, don't you think so? " "Well, I think you are right. Who would have thought such a strange thing? But then again, Tom, Indy Joe is still drunk, and this is a good chance to get the box. " "It says so! However, you try! " Huck was trembling with fear. "Come on, no-I don't think so." "I don't think so, Huck. A bottle of wine can't get Injun Joe drunk. If he brought three bottles of wine, he must be drunk. I dare to try. " Tom pondered for a long time and then said, "Huck, listen, as long as Injun Joe doesn't leave, we won't try." It's so scary. If we stare at him every night, we will definitely see him come out. Whenever he comes out, we will rush in like lightning and run with the box. ""Yes, I agree. I see light all night, and I watch it every night. You are responsible for moving the box. " "Well, that's settled. You go to Amber Street, cross a block and meow like a cat. If I fall asleep, throw a small stone at the window and wake me up. " "No problem, great!" "Huck, the storm has stopped. I'm going home. In another hour or two, it will be dawn. Will you insist on guarding this time? " "I'll keep my word, Tom, and I'll do it. I am willing to stare at that inn every night for a year, sleep during the day and stare at it all night. " "That's good. Where are you going to sleep? " "Ben Rogers' hayloft. He let me sleep, so did Uncle Jack, the black man his father used. As long as Uncle Jack asks me to do it, I will help him carry water. When there is food, I want it, and he gives me some. He's really a good man, Tom. He likes me. I never put on airs with him. Sometimes I sit down and have dinner with him. But don't tell anyone. When a person is hungry, he can't care so much. I will do anything as long as I have food to eat. " "Well, if you don't need it during the day, you can sleep and I won't bother you. I ran to the neighborhood to learn to meow at night. "
