Chapter 8: Returning with Tears

The man who sold watermelons was named Erzhuzi, a man from Shilianzi Village, 20 miles away from Huangling Village.

This middle-aged man lacks heart, simple thinking, impulsive, reckless, and is a big-faced man, loves face, and will not turn around if he suffers a loss, patting his chest, "A good man does things, a good man is a good man!" The people in the village gave him a nickname called "Stunned Qing".

This time, the "stunned green" has planted a big heel! A cart full of watermelons has lost all its money. Without looking back, he drove the donkey cart back on the uneven gravel streets of Huangling Village, rolling on the gravel of seven high and eight low, bumping up and down with a "crackling" sound.

A group of summer mosquitoes and flies "buzzed" after the donkey to bite, the donkey shook its head in order to drive away the mosquitoes and flies that flew to bite, and the bell on the donkey's neck rang into a "ding zero dala". Every once in a while, the donkey flicked the mosquitoes and flies on its side and back. The sun baked the fields, the roads smoked, and the flames rose brightly. There was not a trace of wind in the air, there was no moisture at all, it was all dried and scorched by the sun.

He felt hot when he stepped on the ground, and he felt that his back, neck, and cheeks were burning as if he had been burned with a soldering iron. And his heart is even more burning, full of grief and indignation, feeling calculated, ashamed, aggrieved, and unable to tell people, just like a child being bullied by bad classmates at school, his throat is choked, his nose is sore, and two tears are rolled down in a "fluttering......

He was afraid that people would look at him, so he hurriedly stretched out his arm to wipe it, and quickly pretended to be hot and sweaty, took down the towel and wiped his face. He knew there were hundreds of pairs of eyes staring hotly at his back behind him.

He thought, "I have to pretend it's okay, and walk away with a big grin." Regardless of whether you win or lose, you can't lose your face, isn't it a phrase that people often say: 'Money is like dung, and your face is worth a thousand gold', if you lose, you will lose, anyway, there will be a winner or loser in a bet, and you can't throw people here and let people look down on you! I should sing a song and sing two voices! Although I lost the bet, I should let them admire my spirit and let them know that I am an iron-clad man!"

Thinking of this, he threw the towel around his neck and put it diagonally around his neck. Then get ready to sing...... What to sing? he thought...... After thinking about it for a long time, I remembered a lyric in the model play "Red Lantern", which was a lyric sung by Li Yuhe who ran out of prison: "The prison guard passed like a wolf howling, I stepped out of prison!"

So he sang, "I'm ...... step."

"It's bad! It's high! I already have a bad voice, and I don't have all the five notes, but now it's up again, and I sing like an old rooster crowing!" he thought.

Immediately, there was the laughter of a large group of people behind him. He knew that people were laughing at him, and he didn't look back, and then whistled again, which was kind of a response to the impersonation, the honking, and the laughter of the crowd!

This whistle is not bad, the whistle is crisp and melodious. The laughter behind him immediately stopped.

This whistle was practiced by him for a long time in the mountains. He was born in a sheep herder, and he was reluctant to go to school since he was a child, so he liked to secretly follow the sheep up the mountain to herd sheep. I think it's beautiful to go up the mountain, and it's free. There are flowers and grasses on the mountain, there are all kinds of birds, and you can also eat wild fruits. Such as mountain grapes, pears, sea buckthorn, wild hawthorn and so on...... There are a lot of delicious wild fruits. Because of this incident, he has been beaten by his parents since he was a child. After the fight, his parents reasoned with him and said: "If you don't study hard, you will have to endure hardships in the future, but now you will study and endure some hardships, and you will be admitted to university after studying, and you will enjoy happiness for the rest of your life." If you don't listen to adults, you'll regret it in the future, so don't blame your adults when the time comes. ”

No matter what the adults say, he still does his own thing, and he doesn't change his stinky habits. After a long time, the adults couldn't help it, so they went with him, so he changed from a shepherd's assistant to a full-fledged shepherd. Whistle when it's okay to go up the mountain. So I practiced a beautiful whistle. Later, because people said that it was not good to marry a daughter-in-law to herd sheep, he quit his job and returned to the village to start farming.

The people in the village gradually moved away from him, and the noise gradually faded away, and he was about to walk out of Huangling Village. He glanced back, and the men were out of sight. I turned around and thought to myself, "Fuck! I didn't have a dream last night, and I met such a traitor this morning...... What did I dream about last night?......"

He thought, his mind was messed up, and he patted his head, but it was still a mess. Later, I finally figured it out...... Remembering, by the way, he dreamed that he seemed to climb a mountain alone, and after walking for most of the day, he came to a flower orchard, and there were all kinds of fruit trees in the flower and orchard, including pear trees, peach trees, apricot trees, apple trees, lychee trees, mulberry trees, and plum trees. The trees were full of fruit, and the branches were so crushed that they were almost touching the ground. He said happily, 'I have found so much fruit today, I can pick a big bag and go back.' As he spoke, he climbed up the tree and picked a lot of fruit.

Then he sat down under the tree and ate it. After a while, I saw the red apple again, and the fragrance came from afar. So he climbed up to the apple tree again, picked several large apples, sat down on the branches, and ate one, and it was delicious! and sweet.

Then he saw a large peach grove, and the peaches were so big and red, and wondered how they had grown so big, as big as the big bowl he had used to eat. He hurriedly ran over and climbed up the peach tree to pick one, and couldn't wait to nibble on it, it tasted so beautiful!

was eating beautifully, and suddenly saw Sun Wukong also eating peaches on the tree, smiling at him while eating, eating half of it and throwing it away, and then picking another one, and then throwing it away again after only taking a bite, he picked the best peaches, and jumped gently from this tree to that tree for a while. Threw all that many good peaches to the ground.

He suddenly remembered that this might be the Queen Mother's peach orchard. Could it be that the peach I ate just now was also the peach of the Queen Mother? No wonder the peach is so big, it is not the same as the peach of the mortal world at all. One peach is as big as dozens of peaches in the mortal world. People say that this peach only ripens once in 500 years. People say that if you eat one peach, you can live for an extra 3,600 years, so how many of them will you eat? If you eat at least five, you will be able to live for more than 10,000 years!

He jumped up for joy. When he was triumphant, suddenly a gray donkey came, stared at him for most of the day, and then looked up to the sky and roared for a while. The roar was so scary that it made the peaches fall from the tree.

Then the donkey went under the peach tree and ate it, and in a short time he had eaten all the peaches from the peach trees in the peach orchard. He was stunned when he looked at it, and he thought, "How can this donkey be so powerful? If he can eat all the peaches on the tree, how big is the donkey's belly?"

After a while, so many people came, and they all stood under the peach tree to watch the excitement. But these people did not look at the donkey, but at him coming. He thought, "What do I do? These peaches were eaten by a donkey, not me." After a while, the queen mother will come and investigate it, and that is also to investigate the donkey, and I can't be held accountable!"

After a while the weather changed, it was windy and rainy, and then he woke up. “…… Oh, yes, he understood! It's the donkey's fault. He heard people say, "You can't dream of a donkey, for a donkey is a ghost." It's not a donkey, it's a ghost, it's just that it looks like a donkey, but it's actually a ghost. Or people will say, 'Ghost donkey, ghost donkey!'" "Or you're going to have a fucking ghost today!

When he got up in the morning, he said to his wife, "I had a dream last night. The wife asked, "What are you dreaming about?" and he said, "I was eating peaches in the peach orchard of the Queen Mother, when suddenly a donkey went and ate all the peaches!"

His wife said, "It's not good! It's bad! People say that the donkey is a ghost in a dream, and it's a ghost, so you meet a ghost today!" He recalled with a huff.

He heard people say: "This dream is very important, if you dream a good dream, if you don't realize a good dream, you will have a bad thing, and if you dream a bad dream if you don't come true, something big will happen! On the contrary, if you dream about a good dream and a good dream come true, you will have the icing on the cake, and if you dream a bad dream come true, you will also do some remedy." ”

After a while, he remembered a story that had been circulated. It is said that in ancient times, there was a poor scholar who had a dream one day and night. Dream of sticking out of the cat hole and blowing the trumpet. When he got up in the morning, he told his wife about the dream. His wife clapped her palms and screamed in amazement! "Good dream, the sound is inside, the sound is outside, you are famous!" The next day, he was named on the gold list and won the show. There is also a man who dreams in the dark and sticks out of the cat hole and blows the trumpet. When he got up in the morning, he sued his wife, and his wife patted her thigh and said, "It's bad, only the breath is out and there is no breath!" As a result, the next day the man went up the mountain to chop firewood and fell to the bottom of the cliff.

"It seems that this dream is very important! Today the fuck is this girl who has made her dream come true. The two men were thinking wildly as they drove the donkey cart.

After noon, his stomach was "gurgling" and he felt so hungry! Originally, he planned to sell melons outside today to earn some money, so that he could improve one meal and the next restaurant. Unexpectedly, the money was not earned, and even the capital was lost. He patted his pocket, flattened. Penniless, let alone sitting in a restaurant, I can't even afford a baked cake. Now not only is he hungry, but the donkey is hungry as well, but there is no choice but to go back hungry!

So the second stunned man was so hungry that he couldn't straighten his waist along the way, and his breath was dying. The donkey was also so hungry that its stomach "croaked" non-stop. This person is also hungry, the donkey is also hungry, for a while the person's stomach "......gurgles", and for a while the donkey's stomach "croaks...... and rings alternately, just like two large bass instruments playing with each other, a person and a donkey echo each other from afar and symphony, and walk home with a soft waist and a hard belly.

Getting closer and closer to home, the second stunned suddenly remembered that this money was embezzled from the old man's father-in-law for medical treatment. He thought: "My father-in-law is seriously ill, and my wife's brother can't take leave from work outside and can't come back, so he will bring back money to his wife from outside, and ask his wife to take her father to the hospital as soon as possible!" He mobilized his wife and said: "Now is the good season for selling watermelons, so I'll embezzle the money first, and as soon as I sell the watermelons, I'll give you back the money." ”

His wife disagreed at first, but she couldn't resist his persuasion, so she took out the money.

Now this money is lost, let alone earning money, and even the little capital that his wife used to treat his father has been lost!

"How can I explain this to my wife?" Thinking of the two stunned people's brows, the more wrinkled and tightened, and his heart beat like a "dong dong dong", like the eighteen drums beating in unison, shaking his whole body! And the closer he got to home, the tighter his brows, the louder the drums, and the more he trembled.......
