Qi Yu Millennium

"Yes, but he was not lame before. The other day we met, and he told me that he saw a big bird's nest on the big crooked neck tree on Dongshan Mountain. There must be bird eggs. He asked me to dig it out with him. I said my father said that Dongshan is a mass grave and won’t let me go, but he said it’s fine, we’ll leave after digging out, why don’t we give you two more eggs then?”

"Hey," the old man sighed, "you don't know, young man, no matter what, the white flour buns are eaten now, and the chickens raised at home have laid eggs, so we don't eat less. It was different before, then If a hen that feeds one or two lays an egg, it is reluctant to eat it, and it has to be saved to the market to exchange salt for rice or something. Who is willing to feed it to the children? Who still has something to feed, they let them plan some wild food by themselves, and half of the eggs they lay are empty, now that they think about it, the chickens really suffered..."

This old man is either a chicken or a sheep. When will this be said, but this time I don't have the nerve to interrupt him.Listen patiently to his nagging, "Later, I also blamed myself for being greedy, so I drove the sheep to follow him. At that time, there was a mass grave on Dongshan Mountain. Someone died, and the mat was wrapped and thrown there. There are quite a few dogs waiting to eat dead human flesh, and their eyes are all red.

Hey, don't even talk about those dogs, it's poor.At that time, people couldn't get enough to eat, and whoever had something to feed the dog would make the dog so hungry that he would tremble when he walked.Some are dying of hunger, lying on the base of the wall, they can't run after someone, and even wag their tails at people, but what's the use of wagging their tails, who has something for them to eat. "The old man sighed heavily.

This time I also felt sad when I heard it, and I didn't know how to comfort him.I could only pass another cigarette.

The old lady smiled and said to us, "Hurry up and talk less, look at the house where your father and I smoke." It was a dog with red eyes, it looked like it had eaten dead human flesh, and it came towards us. The dead pillar didn't look good, so he climbed up the tree and left me. I can't climb the tree, I'm still driving the sheep, if the sheep is eaten by the dog, my father will have to skin me when I go back! But with these crazy dogs, I feel frightened from the bottom of my heart, my legs are so scared shivering"

The old man's eyes were a little hazy. "Suddenly, I saw that the dog running in the front looked familiar. It looked like "Laifu" from the old Bi's family in the west of the village. The old Bi died of illness in Kaichun, so no one cared about it. I just Call it "Laifu". It stopped and tilted its head to look at me. It still remembers me."

"But the dogs in the back didn't care. They wanted to bite my sheep when they came up. I beat them with a stick, and they came towards me. Suddenly Lai Fu barked twice, turned around and went to those dogs. , I got bitten by those dogs. I knew it was protecting me. I was so frightened that I watched those dogs bite Laifu, and Laifu's intestines were dragged out later. He still protected me and refused to run. Until the end, he couldn’t stand still, and he still bit a dog’s neck and wouldn’t let go. The blood flowed all over the floor.”

"Master, why does it protect you?" I couldn't help asking.

"Hey, I think maybe it still remembers the half bowl of sheep's milk."

"What sheep?" I asked.

The old man snuffed out the cigarette butt with his long fingernails. "When I was herding sheep that spring, I met Laifu lying under the haystack by the well, unable to get up, I was so hungry, I secretly squeezed half a bowl of sheep milk for it to drink, and it remembered it. It still remembers half a bowl of sheep milk. It’s such a good dog. It saved my life at a critical moment. This dog is sometimes more affectionate than people. If you treat it well, it will never forget it.”

"Then what happened to Laifu?" Up to now, I no longer simply care about that "dragon".I started to care about the fate of this righteous dog.

"What else can I do? I'm dead. Those dogs bit Laifu to death. They came towards me baring their teeth. Then they all ran away with their tails between their legs. There was a gust of wind, and a black shadow went towards my sheep. I took a closer look and saw a dragon with one of my sheep in its mouth. The pillar jumped out of the tree with a frightened "wow". I fell down. My sheep were all frightened and knelt there motionless."

"What does a dragon look like?" I asked.

"It's about the same as a long worm. But it's bigger. It's really big. It was coiled at the time. I don't know how long it is. It can be so thick." The old man gestured with his hands. Shining brightly, I don’t know how old I am, and I still have a big red crown on my head.”

"Do you have any claws?" I asked for details. "I didn't see any claws. It was coiled up at the time. Anyway, there was no upper half." The old man started rolling cigarettes by himself.

"What happened afterwards, did it bite you?"

"No, I just stared at it blankly. It bit the sheep and didn't look at me. Those two eyeballs were white, about the same color as stone eggs. I don't know how long it took, and there was a "huh" Just leave, you just look at the crackling trees in the distance and divide them to the two sides.That strength is not ordinary.

"What happened after that?" I felt unsatisfied. "After that, I came back to my senses and went to support the pillar. His leg was broken and he peed in his pants. I also peed. I supported him, beat those sheep and went back The village, we said we met a dragon, the adults didn't believe it, my father asked some adults in Shangzhuang to go up the mountain to look for sheep, I wouldn't let them go, they thought we were lying and insisted on going, I couldn't help it I told them to bury Laifu when they saw it, and my father slapped me and said he would bury me when he came back." Both the old lady and I laughed. "What about later?" I'm not satisfied yet.

"It was nothing after that. My father and the others came back after dark, and they didn't find the sheep, but they found Laifu and buried it. They didn't beat me when they came back. They just asked me not to do it again with a sullen face. Go to Dongshan."

"When will your father's face not be gloomy?" The old lady said from the side.It is estimated that the relationship between father-in-law and daughter-in-law was not very good when he was young.

"He wasn't gloomy when your father died." The old man wasn't kind either.

Seeing that the situation was not good, I had nothing to say and asked, "What else?"

The old man thought for a long time, "It's nothing, it's just that the root of the disease started from there, the old pee, and it didn't get better until she passed the door. It's scary, it's all scary."

"Did any of you see it again after that?" I wanted to know more about it.

"No, I never heard of anyone seeing it. Later, the Japanese devils came and sealed off the mountain. The national army beat the devils away, and then you **** drove the national army away."

I don't have the nerve to correct his name of "national army", he can call it whatever he wants, anyway, I know it's the Kuomintang.

At this time, the old lady who had been silent all this time said, "Haven't seen it? I haven't seen it. Why is Hu Sanwang crazy?"

"Who is Sanwang Hu?" I asked.

The old man rolled a cigarette for me, pinched off his mouth, and handed it to me. I lit it and took a puff. It was so strong that I choked to death.

"Hu Sanwang is a fisherman in my village, and I belong to the same family." Oh, I didn't know the old man's surname was Hu until now.

The old man then rolled another one for himself, and after lighting it, he continued: "Hu Sanwang's original name is Hu Kunshan. He is a good fisherman. He can definitely catch fish by casting his net three times a day. After a long time, no one called him." His name was changed, and everyone called him Hu Sanwang.

In the past six or so years, there have been natural disasters, and people are starving.Sanwang didn't want others to go hungry, and besides, he had six children to feed, so he cast nets down the river every day, kept some of the fish he caught, and distributed most of them to the people in the village. In the first few years It was okay, but later I really couldn’t catch anything, so I remembered that there was a small lake in Dongshan. I said that no one went there for so many years, so there must be a lot of fish.So I jumped over the wall and entered your army. There was no electricity at that time. "

I smiled and didn't say anything. It can be seen that our troops circled the mountain, and the local people still have some opinions.

"He didn't dare to go during the day, for fear of being caught and shot, so he went at night."

I smiled wryly and shook my head, jumping over the wall to catch a fish and shoot it, that's more exaggerated than stealing a cabbage and bombarding it.

"As a result, in the middle of the night, he came back to the village screaming and howling. When we came out to see him, he was naked, his clothes had gone somewhere, and he was still holding a half of a net in his hand. Kneeling at the entrance of the village facing the Dongshan He kowtowed for a while, saying that he had caught too many fish and committed crimes. The Lord Dragon King punished him, and he would never dare to do anything again. We sent him home, and he went crazy the next day. , he fell ill. Although he was crazy, everyone still read him well, and he ate a bowl. Besides, life was better than the previous few years. So his family did not starve to death.

Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly heard a familiar sound of a trumpet.

"Young man, your army is blowing the sleeping horn." The old man has quite good ears at such an advanced age.

When I heard it again, the lights were really turned off. I hurriedly said goodbye to the old man, asked them to take care of my dog ​​again, and ran back in a hurry.

Lying on the bed, I reviewed what I had said to the two old people at night, and found that there were three relatively big gains.

First, I can almost confirm that what I encountered in the Dongshan tomb a few days ago was a "dragon". Even if it wasn't a dragon, it should be a snake-like animal that has lived for some years, but it's not a python. The climate in the north is not suitable for pythons to survive. , Second boa constrictors don't have crowns!Also, it has no record of intentionally hurting anyone.

Two, good intentions are rewarded, whether it is for people or animals!

Three, marriage can cure urine on the Kang!
