Bottom line

Since the showdown with his father again tonight, Liu Jun felt relieved, and felt that although his father did not let go, he was relieved in his heart not to repeat him and go to the city to seek a living. His father was sensible. People, everyone knows the truth, being an official is fatal, and you have to have a book to read.

After Liu Jun finished washing, he tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep, which made the wooden bed creak. If his father hadn't gone to the field to drain the water, his father would have scolded him for not wanting to read and miss his wife.

His father didn't give him any money, so Liu Jun could only rely on himself. Although Longshang Village is a big village with 4000 to [-] people, its geographical location is very remote, and the farmers live scattered.

The people in the village are very poor, so it is impossible to borrow 2000 yuan to set up a stall in the provincial capital to do business, and Liu Jun never thought of borrowing money from a certain uncle or aunt in the village, let alone not being able to borrow money. Even if someone has money to borrow, they will not believe that a rural child who has just dropped out of school has the ability to pay it back.

Although it is now the 21st century, 1000 yuan is nothing to urbanites, but there are not many families in remote Longshang villages who can afford 1000 yuan. Peasant families don't know how many years they have to save, so most of the young people in the village have gone to the cities to work.

Liu Jun knew that his family was extremely poor. In a rural dialect, it was called "poor egg knocking on the stool". He really wanted his father to spend some money to support him to go to the city to work or start a small business. Even if it is three or five hundred, it is difficult.

Liu Jun, who felt that he could no longer read books, wanted to go to the city and was unwilling to stay in the country for a reason.

Like Xiao Fugui, the village head, the surname Xiao is a common surname. Liu Dekui’s family moved from their ancestors to Longshang Village as a single family. Liu’s surname is the smallest surname in Longshang Village. It is common for father and son to boss around and be bullied. Liu Jun's elder brother Liu Qiang killed someone in a fit of anger.

Later, people in the village did not dare to point fingers at Liu Dekui. Who knew that Liu Jun, who had read the book, would kill someone in a fit of anger like his brother Liu Qiang?Liu Jun is 1.8 meters two, a head taller than his brother. Although he looks like a white-faced scholar, when it comes to fighting, Liu Jun is tall and powerful, and there are really few people in Longshang Village who dare to fight Liu Jun. heads-up.

Liu Jun, who was lying on the wooden bed and couldn't sleep, had a flash of inspiration, and thought of a way to get money. He heard that people in the city like to eat some aquatic products such as bastard, yellow meal, dried shrimp, and small loach. These things are abundant in the countryside. No one was going to catch it.

Except for the left-behind people such as the old, the young, the sick, the disabled and pretty wives, most of the young people in the village have gone to work in the city. The young people who have not gone out are idle all day long, bragging, playing poker during the day, and idle at night Those who love the whole daughter-in-law are people who are too lazy to drink blood. No one would think of catching bastards and making a fortune.

Liu Jun was very excited when he thought that catching bastards and loaches could be sold for money. There was still more than a month before the busy farming season. If he worked hard, it was still possible to scrape together thousands of dollars to go to the provincial capital to start a small business.

When a person is excited, he will not feel sleepy, especially in the hot summer night, Liu Jun's underpants are pushed up for no reason when he is excited. fall asleep.

At that time, Liu Jun, who was studying in a remote mountain village, was not very civilized. Although he was a high school student and had also taken a physiology and hygiene class, he still didn't know or understand what "masturbation" was...

When he was drowsy, and he didn't know how long he had slept, Liu Jun heard the noise outside the house, as well as barking dogs. Such noise felt very strange in the middle of the night. It was quiet, how could there be such noise? Liu Jun thought it was a scene in a dream.

"Bah bah bah——" followed by a rapid knock on the door, Liu Jun shuddered, feeling ominous, and suddenly remembered that these days are the days when ghosts are released in folklore in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and they are haunted what?

As soon as Liu Jun grunted, a carp came up on the wooden bed, jumped out of the bed with his trousers fork on, turned on the light, ran out of the bedroom, took a pole and held it in his hand, and shouted: "Who?"

No one answered, there was still the sound of knocking on the door, and the hammering on the door one after another, making Liu Jun's hair stand on end. Today seems to be the folk ghost festival in July and a half? !Is it July and a half?

Regardless of whether it was a human or a ghost knocking on the door, Liu Jun firmly believed that it would definitely not be the father who came back from the field late at night. If his father came back from the field late at night, he would usually open the copper head lock and enter the house gently from the back door for fear of waking Liu Jun. The gates are often fastened with large wooden pegs.

"Hey, who's knocking on the door?" Liu Jun approached the door, yelled to embolden himself, holding the shoulder pole tightly in one hand, and tried to push the door bolt with the other hand, ready to speak with a shoulder pole whether it was a human or a ghost. The truth is, it is said that even if a ghost knocks on the door, there must be a shrill ghost screaming.

Liu Jun, who has studied, has not been admitted to a university, but he has also received the orthodox national education of the Chinese dynasty. The philosophy of Marxist-Leninist materialism is not only deeply rooted, but also brainwashed.

For Liu Jun, dignified high school graduates naturally don't believe in ghosts and gods, but Liu Jun only heard knocks on the door and no shouts.

"Boom..." The crisp sound of holding the pole in hand was extremely loud.

Liu Jun suddenly pulled the door bolt open, a figure rushed forward, Liu Jun swung a pole at the person without looking, the figure blocked it with his arm abruptly, the person was really fierce.

"Hmm..." The visitor didn't have time to touch his sore arm, and gestured up and down to Liu Jun falteringly, which made Liu Jun jump.

"Ali, why are you here?" The visitor was sixteen or seventeen years old, with big arms and a round waist. He looked about the same age as Liu Jun. It was the mute Xiao Li who had saved Liu Jun's life when he was young.

Xiao Li was picked up by a widowed old man in Longshang Village when he was a child. He was not dumb at first, but when he was seven or eight years old, he almost drowned when he played in the big pond next to the cemetery at the east end of the village. Jun rescued him, but for some reason, after the drowning incident, Xiao Li couldn't speak and become dumb, maybe he was scared stupid, some people said that he was possessed by the ghost of the graveyard.

However, what many people didn't expect was that Xiao Li, who lost his voice, was very stubborn. He was not afraid of death even after drowning once. After that, whenever he saw Liu Jun coming home from school, he would forcefully ask Liu Jun to teach him to go to the big pond in the graveyard. Swimming, come later, Xiao Li can stay bored in the water for half an hour without getting up, and he can still catch big carp, his water skills are far superior to Liu Jun.

Later, the hundred-year-old widow and orphan who adopted Xiao Li passed away, and Xiao Li also became an orphan. Out of humanity, the village arranged for Xiao Li to guard the fish pond on the graveyard, and built a grass shed in the fish pond for the dumb Xiao Li to chat with. to get by.

Although Xiao Li is dumb, he is grateful, and he never forgets his savior Liu Jun. During those days when Liu Jun was studying in the county town, Xiao Li would secretly go to the fish pond of the guarded village to catch a few grass carp, bear fish and so on. Send it to the home of Liu Jun's father, Liu Dekui. Liu Dekui will also cook fish from time to time, and take a bottle of Gu Shao to drink with Xiao Li in the thatched shed beside the fish pond in the graveyard.

Liu Jun had a flash of inspiration and wanted to catch bastards and eels and sell them in the city to earn money for entering the city. Subconsciously, he thought of Xiao Li, a dumb man with excellent water quality, and planned to invite him to the wild pond stream among the bamboo forests outside the village tomorrow morning. Those who went to catch bastards and loach, did not expect Xiao Li to knock on the door like a grieving ghost to look for him at night.

"Speak, what's the matter?" Liu Jun threw the shoulder pole, and the moment the words came out, he felt that it was too much. He knew that Xiao Li was dumb, but he asked him to talk, what did he mean?

Xiao Li didn't mind, his head was sweating anxiously, he pointed to Liu Dekui's room, gestured for a while, pulled Liu Jun up and ran out.

Liu Jun finally understood that something happened to his father, Liu Dekui, and Xiao Li didn't know what happened. He only knew that his father, Liu Dekui, and the village head's wife, Tian Xiuhua, were tied up by the village head's family to the side of the fish pond on the cemetery, as if to Throwing it into the pond to feed the fish, many people in the village rushed to watch. He saw it with his own eyes in the grass shed on the other side of the fish pond.

"Mom, it's really July and a half, ghosts are running around, didn't my father just release the water at night? Why did the village chief Xiao Fugui dare to tie his father? What on earth did the village chief want to do? Big brother Liu Qiang died at the hands of people in Xiaojia Village , Is this the Xiao family who wants to kill the old Liu family? Are there only two members of the Liu family who will not be spared?"

Liu Jun was angry, and regretted that he was only thinking about going to the city at night, but when his father said to let the water go, he forgot to remind his father that it was half July, and it was better not to go out at night.

Seven and a half hell, the good father was tied up by the village chief to throw it into the fish pond, and there was a village chief's wife Tian Xiuhua, what kind of family is there? In the legal society of the 21st century, it is unheard of and inhumane to have people sinking into ponds!

Out of anger, Liu Jun's head swelled, his eardrums roared, he didn't have time to think about it, and couldn't figure out what happened for a while, so he shook off Xiao Li's hand heavily, rushed into the bedroom, put on his clothes indiscriminately, without hesitation He picked up the counterfeit version of the Swiss Army knife in his hand, rushed out of the gate, and ran to the fish pond at the east end of the village.

In other words, there are not many boys in high school who have not played with knives or daggers, and there are not many boys who do not carry a few murder weapons with them.In rural middle schools, few students have seen the real multifunctional Swiss Army Knife, but the counterfeit version of the saber, military stab, and even high-simulation pistols and bird guns that can shoot iron sand are bloody. Fang Gang's favorite of boys.

……

The fish pond is at the east end of the village, about two or three kilometers away from Longshang Village, which is a little far away. The dumb Xiao Li must be brave enough to guard a pond for many years by himself, and it is too big to imagine. A hundred meters away from the fish pond is the cemetery of Longshang Village.

Why is the fish pond near the cemetery not abandoned? It is a fish pond for raising fish, and the water is very fat. It is very strange. It takes at least a year for a general fish pond to raise silver carp pups to three to five catties of water, but The silver carp raised in the fish pond near the cemetery can raise water twice a year, so that fish pond is used. The villagers are jealous of the cemetery, and no one dares to guard it. The task of guarding the fish pond falls to the mute Xiao Li. On top of that, it just so happens that the village can also solve the life of the orphan Xiao Li.

The strange fish pond, the graveyard on the ridge, and the night in the middle of July, these elements of horror are nothing in the eyes of Liu Jun. Liu Jun thinks that his father must not be thrown into the graveyard by the inhuman village chief. The pond feeds the fish...

Liu Jun ran wildly in the night at the speed of a [-]-meter sprint in school physical education class, and Xiao Li followed him closely.

In remote mountain villages, the villages are sparsely populated, and some farmers’ homes have lights. When Liu Jun rushed out, the sky was full and pale, dark clouds were rushing away, and the wind was strange. Many villagers with flashlights were rushing forward, extending to The field path on the fish pond at the east end of the village looks like a long lantern dragon swaying during the Lantern Festival.

The flashlights in the hands of the hurrying villagers flickered chaotically. The courageous men and women in the village all turned on their flashlights and ran towards the fish pond. Children and the elderly did not see many of them. Those who walk at night are afraid that the elderly and children will be infected with evil spirits.

Liu Jun crossed the running crowd, there were villagers he was familiar with but no one greeted Liu Jun, Liu Jun ran fast and knocked down several villagers, unexpectedly no one dared to contradict Liu Jun, this is not usually the case, but everyone seemed to be hiding Avoid him like the plague.

On the night of the middle of July, the pond in the graveyard was about to throw people away to worship their ancestors. Everyone rushed to watch the fun. How many years had it been since the pond in the graveyard sank? The villagers were inexplicably excited and excited. Tolerance...

Liu Jun ran, his heart was bleeding, and his heart was getting colder and colder. His father had an accident, and he was the last to know. No one in the village told him. By daybreak, my father was already dead in the fish pond on the cemetery.

The people in this village are very cold and terribly cold-blooded. Liu Jun no longer has any nostalgia for the people in Longshang Village, nor does he want to be nostalgic. Why did the eldest brother Liu Qiang kill people? His dignity cannot be humiliated!

The people in this mountain village are very feudal and ignorant, they can't tolerate people of other races. Since childhood, Liu Jun felt that his father had always behaved with his tail between his legs in Longshang Village, and it was difficult for a single branch of the Liu family to settle down in Xiaojia Village...

Thinking of his father's life or death, Liu Jun had a terrible thought in his heart. If his father really died, maybe on this ghost festival night, Liu Jun would ask the strong men to cut off their wrists and kill the Quartet, and then generously rushed to Jiuquan to be with him. Family reunion of deceased relatives.
