Section 11 The Beasts Flee
That night, I was tossing and turning, very excited, thinking about learning kung fu with my father in the future, I woke up early in the morning and I was fully prepared, but I didn't expect my father to get up very early, and he was almost ready in his room.
I said, "Dad, let's go, let's go to the mountain together, the tools are ready!"
The father said, "Yes, let's go!"
On the way, I asked my father: Dad, how come I have never seen the iron rod and a set of sticks you used to fight cockscomb snakes that day, and I have never heard you mention it, and the iron rod, I saw him rusty when I was a child, and I thought it was the rags you picked up from?
Father said: This is passed on to me by the old lady, I am the eldest son in the family, so this stick and the stick method are naturally passed on to me, most of the stick method is still figured out by myself, your old lady plays this stick well, no way, I didn't want to learn, your wife and your grandfather forced me to learn, there is no way to follow them to learn, the learning is not very deep.
I felt very incredible, and said: Why don't you learn such a good stick technique? You see that the stick method you use is really super powerful, and you can still practice chivalry and righteousness in the future, and stick to one side!
Father smiled and said: You have read too many novels, in ancient times heroes were not a compliment, in the past heroes were the same as our current gangsters, gangs are the same as the current underworld organizations! Do you think that underworld organizations will be loved by the people? So don't be superstitious, live well, you can't rely on your own temperament, but you can't let bad guys touch your bottom line casually, and ah, everyone has their own way of living in this world, besides, heroes also have to eat! You even have a problem with eating, do you think others will look down on you?
I was a little unhappy, so I tried to argue, after all, this is the bottom line of my heroic dream, thinking that my father is conservative, manly when he has a chivalrous heart and has the world in mind, suddenly my father interrupted me and said loudly: Watch your feet!
I was startled, stopped, and found that there was a poisonous scorpion under my feet, all red, not small, I was startled, and when my father saw it, he told me not to panic, and took his long knife, and quickly stabbed the ground, and as a result, the scorpion died!
I wondered there, and said to my father: It's really strange today, our foot of the mountain is full of bald stones, this scorpion is really looking for death when it climbs here, I have never met such a stupid scorpion before, and it still grows so big!
My father ignored me, he squatted down and looked carefully at the scorpion he had stabbed to death, shook his head, and then said to me: Things may not be the same as you think!
I followed my father, quickly went up the mountain, sure enough, I thought it was too simple, we saw a lot of poisonous scorpions, centipedes on the mountain, not only that, even the birds and squirrels on the mountain were running frantically towards another mountain, my father pulled me to the Yugong Ridge, carefully looked at the centipede depression, and found that the trees and forests of the centipede depression were shaking constantly, but the wind was very small that day, and the woods were very moving!
When my father saw this scene, his face changed, and he said to me, "Go, we can't stay here for a long time, we must hurry down the mountain!"
I looked at my father's frightened look and said, "Dad, what's wrong?"
Father said: Something must have happened!
I hastened to ask: What the hell is going on?
Father said: I can't explain it clearly for a while, we hurry down the mountain, you go down the mountain to find your Shi Ye, and let him go to your second uncle's house to meet!
I nodded, and when I was walking on the road, my father told me a lot about my childhood, meaning that he didn't take very good care of me when he was a child, so I got impatient and said, "I don't even remember how you keep mentioning the past!"
The father smiled and said, "Then you don't want to hear about the past, then let's talk about the present and the future, in short, I hope you can become a guardian of the right path in the future!"
I looked at my father, and my father looked at me, and I didn't understand what he meant at the time, so I looked at him very cutely, but my father's eyes were full of anticipation and hope, and I will never forget this look for the rest of my life, because those eyes were so clear and bright!
We went down the mountain, according to my father's instructions, I quickly went to Shi Ye's house to find him, and my father went directly to the second uncle, I trotted all the way to Shi Ye's house, Shi Ye stood in the yard, kept looking at the direction of the centipede depression, and kept thinking!
I approached the yard and shouted: Master Shi, my father called you to go to the second uncle's house, in the mountains...
Shi Ye interrupted me, I originally wanted to tell Shi Ye what my father and I saw in the mountains, but Shi Ye said to me directly: "Eldest grandson, I know what you have to say, hurry up!"
I went to the second uncle's house with Shi Ye, my father and the second uncle were waiting in the yard, and when I saw Shi Ye and I coming over, I hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and the second uncle said anxiously to Shi Ye: Uncle, something is wrong!
Shi Ye said: I got up in the morning and found that something had indeed happened to the centipede, as the saying goes, "the mountain spirit is damaged, and the universe must be moved", it seems that we still caught up with this catastrophe!
The second uncle said to Shi Ye: What should I do now? What should I do now?
Seeing the second uncle's panicked expression, the father patted the second uncle's back and said: Second brother, what is there to panic about, it should come or have to come, it seems that there were still snakes in the gap of the pigsty at that time, which is also the reason why the pheasant comb desperately sent a message! Maybe we didn't find out at that time!
Shi Ye nodded and said, "It's too late to say such a thing now! We still have to think of countermeasures now!"
Father said: We have to work hard to buy some time for the village!
Shi Ye said solemnly: Relying on the current one, we don't have a chance to gain time, and it seems that the second door of the Six Finger Peak next door also has to help!
The second uncle looked at Shi Ye and said: Will Ermenzi come to help?
My father replied firmly, "They will!" Guarding the right path is our family's mission! I will tell them! They will join us!
Shi Ye said: Now go over the mountain, will it be too late to come and go, now the demon wind has risen, and the time will not be long!
The second uncle replied with a smile: Uncle, you are old-fashioned, we all use the phone now, and our village department has one, I will call their village department and ask him to answer the phone, and they will know when they receive the news.
So my father and second uncle went to the village to make a phone call.
In the afternoon, four people came to Ermenzi, they were the four uncles of the Ermen family, they also came during the New Year's greetings before, and there were seven brothers under them, and today the second, third, fourth, and fifth brothers of their family came!
They really arrived quickly, in the past, it took us at least four hours to reach Liuzhi Peak, but today they arrived in more than two hours.
When they saw Shi Ye, my father, and my second uncle, they said directly: It seems that we are still right, and we are still coming this year!
The second eldest of the second family, I also called him second uncle, but in order to distinguish him, I called him second uncle, and when the second uncle came, he saw that the village was already windy, and I saw him looking at the sky, and began to pinch his fingers in his hand, saying: It's broken, there are only three hours left.
When my father saw that everyone was coming, he said, "Since you are here, eat some food and fill your stomach so that you can work!"
The third man was a strong man, and said: Boss, since you are here, prepare some good wine, didn't you say that you saved a few jars of good wine, but today you encountered such a big thing, and you didn't bring it!
My father said, "Okay!" I'll go get it now, that day our family was like the Chinese New Year! Killing chickens and ducks, everyone drank happily, and my father also let me drink liquor, saying that I had never drunk with my son, and that in the past, my mother would definitely stop and refuse to give it, but that day was very strange, my mother didn't say anything, and I drank liquor for the first time in my life, and I felt that the taste was extremely unpleasant! My father even drank a large glass of wine directly with me, and I drank it hard!
I was drunk that day, and my father said something beside me, and I don't remember it very clearly, but I never imagined that this conversation would be the last time my father would talk to meγγγγγγ
