The old lady smiled and said, "Come on, smoke less and watch you two smoke a room."
The old man smoked two cigarettes. "Before I got to the crooked neck tree, I met several dogs with red eyes. At first glance, I ate dead human flesh, and then I came to the dead column. When I saw it, it was not good. I left the tree. I can’t leave the tree. I’m still driving a sheep. If the dog ate it, my father would have to skin me! But I’m really afraid of these mad dogs and my legs are shaking. "
The old man’s eyes were a little hazy. "Suddenly I saw that the dog at the head of the race looked familiar, much like the old Bi family in the west of the village, Laifu. When Bi Chun died of illness, no one cared about it. I called it Laifu. It stopped and looked at me with a crooked head. It still remembered me."
"But the dogs behind me were going to bite my sheep no matter what they came. I hit them with a stick and came at me. Suddenly Laifu barked and turned around and rushed to those dogs. I knew it was protecting me. I was scared to death and watched those dogs bite Laifu. Later, Laifu intestines were dragged out and protected me. I refused to run until I finally stopped. I still bit a dog’s neck and didn’t let go. That blood flowed all over the floor."
"Uncle, what should it protect you?" I asked.
"Well, I think it may be that it still remembers the half bowl of goat milk."
"What goat milk?" I asked
The old man stubbed out his cigarette butt with long fingernails. "That spring, when I was herding sheep, I met Laifu lying on the haystack near the well. I couldn’t get up hungry. I secretly squeezed half a bowl of goat’s milk for him to drink, so I remembered half a bowl of goat’s milk. It still remembers that it was really a good dog. It saved my life when I pressed the key. Sometimes this dog is more affectionate than people. You are kind to it, and it will never be forgotten."
"Then what happened to Laifu?" Up to now, I am no longer simply concerned about the "dragon", but I am happy that the fate of this righteous dog has come.
"How can I die? Those dogs killed Laifu, twisted their teeth and came at me, and then suddenly they all ran away with their tails between their legs. I was wondering. I felt a gust of wind around me, and a black shadow rushed at my sheep. When I looked at it, I saw the dragon with a sheep column in my mouth, and I was scared. Wow, I fell from the tree. My sheep were all stunned and knelt still."
"What does the dragon look like?" I asked.
"It’s about the same as a worm, but it’s really big. I didn’t know how long it would be so thick at that time." The old man’s hand was painted with "The thickness is thicker than a bucket, green and shiny, and I don’t know how old I am. My head is still red and crowned."
"Do you have claws?" I asked for details, "I didn’t see any claws, but they were half-baked." The old man made his own cigarette, and I took out a cigarette case and threw it away.
"What happened later? Did it bite you?"
"Without me, I just stared at it. It bit the sheep and didn’t look at my eyes. They were white and almost the same color as stone eggs. I don’t know how long it took before’ hoo’ left. Just look at the tree in the distance and divide it on both sides. It’s not as strong as usual."
"What happened later?" I felt still unfinished. "Later, when I came to my senses, he broke his leg and peed all over his pants. I also peed. I helped him hit those sheep and went back to the village. We said that when we met a dragon, adults didn’t believe me. My father told several adults in the village to look for sheep in the mountains together. I wouldn’t let them go. They also lied to us. I had to go. I had no choice but to ask them to bury the lucky one when they saw it. My father slapped me and said that he would bury me when he came back." Both the old lady and I laughed.
"What happened later?" I’m not satisfied yet
"Later, it was nothing. My dad didn’t come back until it was dark, and he didn’t find the sheep, but he found Laifu and buried it. He didn’t hit me when he came back. He was sullen and asked me not to go to Dongshan again."
"When is your dad’s face not gloomy?" The old lady jumped out from the side and estimated that the father-in-law and daughter-in-law were not very good when they were young.
"He was not gloomy when your father died" and the old man was not a good crop.
Seeing that the situation was not good, I had nothing to talk about and asked, "What else?"
The old man thought for a long time, "Nothing’s wrong. It’s just that he got sick from there until she passed the door. It’s all scary."
"Have any of you seen it since then?" I want to know more about it.
"No, I haven’t heard of anyone seeing it, and the ghost will come in the future, so the mountain will be sealed and the national army will beat the ghost away, and then you communist party will beat the national army away."
I don’t have the nerve to correct his name of "national army". Call it whatever you want. Anyway, I know it’s the Kuomintang.
At this time, I haven’t been talking much. The old lady has a cavity. "Haven’t you seen it? I haven’t seen how crazy Hu Sanwang is? "
"Who is Hu Sanwang?" I asked.
The old man rolled me a cigarette, pinched off his mouth and handed it to me. I lit a cigarette and choked to death.
"Hu Sanwang is a fisherman in my village, and I am home."
Oh, I didn’t know the old man’s surname was Hu until now.
The old man then rolled himself up a little before he went on to say, "Hu Sanwang’s name is Hu Kunshan. He can fish very well. Throwing the net three times a day will definitely catch fish. When it grows, no one calls him Hu Sanwang."
In the past six years, natural disasters and people have been starving, and others have been starving. Besides, they still have six children to feed. Every day, after catching fish in the river, they left some for themselves, and most of them were given to the Zhuang people. After a few years, they were ok. Later, they really couldn’t catch anything. They remembered that there was a small lake in Dongshan, saying that no one had gone for so many years, there must be a lot of fish, so they jumped over the wall and entered your army. "
I smiled and said nothing. It was obvious that the local people still had some opinions when our troops circled the mountains.
"He didn’t dare to go during the day for fear of being caught and shot, so he went late."
I shook my head with a wry smile and jumped over the wall to catch a fish and shoot it. That’s more exaggerated than stealing a cabbage and shelling it.
