Chapter 7 Weasel

Time flies like an arrow, time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has been a year since Old Liu Tou died. Jiang Liu and Dougen's family hoped for the stars and the moon, and they finally looked forward to this year.Because the admission requirement of the school at that time was that children must be at least nine years old.

And at that time, there was still a five-two-two school system, that is, five years of elementary school, two years of middle school, and two years of high school.Because it is in a rural area, school is basically part-farming and part-study, and there are many holidays.Later, I caught up with the Communist Party, so after nine years of compulsory education, I couldn't learn any cultural knowledge at all.

In fact, farmers don’t care much about how much cultural knowledge they can learn. As long as they know and can write their own names, it’s over.Jiang Liu and Dougen's family are so eager to send their children to school, mainly because they want the teacher to take good care of them, at least to save the family members from worrying so much. As for how much knowledge they can learn, it depends on the children themselves.

But what the two families never expected was that after the two youngsters went to school, their academic performance was surprisingly good, and the No. 1 and No. 2 grades were occupied by two people for a long time.

Especially Jiang Liu, although he was still mischievous after school and didn't pay attention in class, he was always No. 1 when it came to exams.It made other students only envy and hate.Excellent grades are also granted by the teacher. As long as the class does not affect others, you can do whatever you want.

It stands to reason that with such good academic performance, it is absolutely not a problem to be admitted to high school, and Lao Jiang also has great expectations for his son.But things backfired. Seeing that they were about to graduate from middle school, these two guys had another playful relationship, and they were both expelled from the school at the same time.

What's going on?It turned out that that day, because of a trivial matter, Jiang Liu had an appointment with a classmate to duel in the woods behind the school. What Jiang Liu didn't expect was that the unscrupulous classmate recruited a partner, five or six at once.Jiang Liu himself is short, and there are many people on the other side, so it is reasonable to suffer.

When the disadvantaged Jiang Liu returned to the classroom, Dougan saw Jiang Liu with a bruised nose and a swollen face. He was impatient and chased after Jiang Liu to ask who did it.As far as Jiang Liu is concerned, he grinned his teeth in pain, but said he was fine, and only said that he would wait a few days and let Dougen go with him to take revenge after he recovered from his injuries.

But this silent Dougen didn't wait for a few days, and that night, he found out who the other party was.When I arrived at school the next day, I carried a brick and blocked those students in the classroom. I didn't say a word of nonsense, and I went up and opened two spoons.

Who would have thought that among the two classmates of Kai Piao, one of them was a relative of the township head, and this caused a catastrophe, even the police came to the school, saying that they wanted to arrest Dougen in the police station.Later, it was their homeroom teacher who pleaded for mercy and was not taken away.Even so, the school couldn't stay any longer.Their principal said well, you two go back, with your cleverness, you can contribute to the construction of the motherland wherever you go, just like that, the two guys were expelled from the school!
When the child was in such a situation, Mrs. Dougen didn't say anything. Anyway, the child was so big, he jumped up to 1.8 meters in height, and he was strong. The production team should go to earn work points. Such a good laborer can't find lanterns.

Jiang Liu was different. Lao Jiang, who suffered from lack of education since he was a child, heard that his son had been fired. He was so angry that he picked up a fire stick and wanted to beat him up.Jiang Liu didn't see things well, so he turned his head and ran, Lao Jiang chased after him, and the two of them ran around Sanliangzi Village, but Lao Jiang was exhausted and couldn't catch up with this little bastard. Jiang Decai stood at the head of the village, pointing at Jiang Liu and scolding, you little bastard!If you have the ability, don't go home, I will give you a discount when you go home.

Jiang Liu is also a bachelor, and he won't come back unless he is allowed to go home. Anyway, Dougen's family has a place to sleep.In this way, the father and father were angry for several days. Later, it was Jiang Liuniang who persuaded him to be in charge of the house, so Jiang Decai found the village head You Guofu, and found Jiang Liu a cattle herding job in the production team.

Jiang Liu became a cowherd as he wished, but the only difference is that the cows herded are not his own, and he can't kill them whenever he wants. Dougen has also become an honorable member of the commune, and goes to work with the adults during the day.

This is good, the two calves have become negative teaching materials in the village.Every family pointed to their children and said, see, if you don’t study well, you will be like the two of them in the future, farming the land and raising cattle.

Sanliangzi is a big fart place, and the rumors quickly spread to the ears of the two adults, but for such a statement, the two adults were helpless, who told their son not to live up to it, besides, the children have grown up. go.

Let's talk about this river, since the cattle herding, it is very diligent, driving the cattle up the mountain early every day, as for what happens after driving the cattle up the mountain?Then only Dougen himself knows.

It turned out that Jiang Liu drove the cattle up the mountain every day, found a piece of grass to let them go, and ran all over the mountain by himself, busy with trapping rabbits and hunting pheasants, and he didn't care whether the cattle were full or not.After more than half a year, the cow didn't gain weight at all, but he practiced his slingshot technique perfectly, and pheasants and rabbits kept appearing on the dinner tables of the two families.

During this period of time, what Jiang Liu said to Dou Gen the most was that it was not his own cow, no matter how fat he put it, he would not be able to eat a piece of meat.Every time Dougen heard Jiang Liu say this, he always smiled and was noncommittal.But I was thinking in my heart, that cow is a dumb animal. If it could talk, it would probably have pouted at you.

That's how life is, don't rush and don't panic.No matter what you do, he will always follow his own way.In a blink of an eye, it was autumn again. Once the beginning of autumn passed, the weather changed immediately. The sky seemed much higher, and it was not as hot as summer.At this time, many wild fruits on the mountain are ripe. At this time, Jiang Liu eats on the mountain every day, and his stomach is full, wishing to grow on the mountain.

On this day, Jiang Liu followed his method, scattered the cattle on the mountain, and wandered all over the mountains and plains.

Follow the trail up the mountain, pass through a forest, and go straight to the top of the mountain.As he walked, he suddenly smelled a strong smell of wine.Jiang Liu was taken aback for a moment, wondering how could there be alcohol in this barren mountain?
Curious in his heart, Jiang Liu decided to find out what was going on, so he searched for the smell of alcohol and wandered around to a mountain valley.I found a yellow thing about the size of a rabbit lying on a flat rock about ten meters in front of him.Just the smell of alcohol emanates from there.

Jiang Liu looked at it from a distance for a long time, but he didn't see clearly what it was.He wanted to go to the front to have a look, but he was a little apprehensive about this empty place where no one could be seen, because when Jiang Liu first started grazing cattle, his mother told him that the mountains were dense and the forests were dense, evil things. Also, you are grazing cattle up the mountain by yourself, so it's better to hide from those things that don't know where they come from.

Thinking of this, Jiang Liu deliberately turned around and left, but wanted to know what the hell it was.I used to hear old people talk about this baby and that baby. What if it is some kind of baby? If you miss it, go and regret it.

The boss hesitated for a long time, and finally Jiang Liu decided to pay attention. After all, it is clear and bright, and such a big thing can be stabbed there. Simply, give it a slingshot first.

So Jiang Liu took out the slingshot from his pocket, put a stone in it, closed one eye, took aim, then let go, and with a whoosh, the stone flew out.

To talk about this matter, it was only an inch away, and Jiang Liu's slingshot went over and hit that thing in the eye.With a groan of pain from that thing, a tall boy jumped up to the old high, and then fell down quickly.

As soon as he heard that this thing was still screaming, Jiang Liu immediately became interested, and hurried over, picked up his whip, and slammed it hard at this thing that was still in mid-air. , before falling to the ground.

After falling to the ground, the thing bounced its legs a few times, straightened up, and died!

Seeing that this thing was beaten to death by himself, Jiang Liu was quite happy at the time, ran over, pulled the thing over to have a look, and suddenly, Jiang Liu trembled in fright, and his hairs burst open .

Looking at the ground again, the dead thing had a straight body, long browned and fine hair, a small black face covered with blood, but the yellowish nose was very clean.

It turned out that this thing was a weasel who was tabooed by the villagers.

The weasel is very evil. It is said that those who are successful in cultivation can capture people's soul through their eyes. Even in the Qing Dynasty, there was a specially built Huang Daxian Temple.Not only that, but this thing is extremely vengeful.So the old people often tell the younger generation that when you encounter this thing, don't provoke it, the farther away from it the better.

However, Jiang Liu was not only provoked today, but even killed on the spot. Thinking of what the old people often said, do you think he is not afraid?

Sitting down on the ground, Jiang Liu didn't move for a long time. In the autumn wind blowing mountains, even fearful and anxious, his forehead was sweating.

After sitting for 10 to [-] minutes, Jiang Liu finally figured it out. At this point, I'm afraid it's useless. Anyway, he was killed, so I might as well let you die more quickly.

Heartbroken, Jiang Liu found a few stones from nearby, and smashed them hard at the dead weasel. above.I thought to myself, aren't you vindictive?I'll smash you into a meat paste now, let's see how you retaliate.

After this matter was over, Jiang Liu didn't dare to run around, and returned to the grass to watch the cattle honestly.Until after five o'clock in the afternoon, the cattle were driven home early.

But even after arriving at home, Jiang Liu still felt that there was something in his heart that he couldn't let go of, so he ate his dinner hastily and went to sleep in his west room.
