Chapter 5: Uncle Dragon
Grandpa once discussed with his grandmother, saying that when Chu Liang was a little older, he would directly ask him to go to the town to study in elementary school, and he didn't need any preschool or anything like that. Although my grandmother didn't want her grandson to live in the dark in the future, but now that it has been 50 years since the liberation of New China, that kind of profession can only be a desperate existence, and there will not be too many worries.
"Remember my dead big brother?" Grandpa once again casually asked about grandma.
Grandma was very surprised, she didn't know what happened to her husband, and suddenly one sunny afternoon she took her eldest brother's relics and looked at them, and forgot to go to the mountains to do things.
The so-called going to the mountains to do things, is to feed the corpse, the secret medicine of the Miao family can prevent the decay of the corpse, living in the inheritance, there are many corpses are kept in the cave behind the altar of the Miao family, only for the inheritance of the inheritors of the corpse maker, commonly known as raising the corpse, and wait until the next generation of inheritors to teach him this ancient method. It is generally an apprentice, but in this era, this skill is no longer a livelihood to support the family, so it is lonely, so it can only be taught to the descendants of the heirs, but the grandfather has no son, this skill, women are uncontrollable and terrifying.
I heard my grandmother say that my grandfather was very handsome when he was young, but because of the inheritance of this profession, my grandfather's appearance is now ugly; If you are bold, you will go to the cemetery for the night and carry the dead body to the mountains to collect firewood without believing in the superstition of ghosts and gods...... And so on, all in the middle of the night.
Some people can't see a lot of bloody events, such as surgery, or the tragic scene of flesh and blood on the battlefield, ordinary people will vomit when they see it!
Smells, visual impacts, and fears that you have never felt before can cause psychological fluctuations, causing physical abnormalities and nausea.
But Chu Liang doesn't have any of these, in the eyes of his grandfather, this child is just like what the people in the village say, a "demon boy"! Grandma also suspected it at first, but my grandfather said that Chu Liang seeped blood out of his body when he sweated, and the same was true of the sweat and blood BMW in ancient times, and the kind of good horse that traveled thousands of miles a day and eight hundred at night was a staggered breed, but my grandfather said that Changfeng was a Han person, and our Miao family could not have too much to do with the Han people, especially in blood!
"That's why I asked you if you remember the eldest brother, when you entered the hanging coffin, my father and uncle all looked at the coffin that was sealed, and the bitter pleading and screams of the eldest brother still linger behind my ears from time to time." Grandpa knocked off the old cigarette oil in the bamboo cigarette, and raised his eyes to see his grandmother's stunned expression holding a bamboo plaque sieve.
Grandpa got up and walked towards the low gate of the fence wall with his hands behind his back: "Old nervous woman, why are you looking at me?" I'm just just asking, my own big brother can't even think about it. ”
After my grandfather left, my grandmother put down the bamboo plaque and walked back to the house, rummaging through the high cabinet for something.
"Grandma, I'm hungry." Chu Liang rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked out of the back room.
Grandma found the photo, covered the top of the cabinet, jumped down from the small bamboo chair, and touched the top of his head: "Go to the sausage in the yard first, grandma will make fried rice noodles for you, remember to take one, there is more to eat." Chu Liang nodded and went out, grandma pinched the photo in her hand, it was a black and white photo taken in the town when her daughter Zhou Yunhe and Chu Changfeng tied the knot, grandma recalled the appearance of her eldest brother, looked at Chu Changfeng's face, she shook her head and tore up the photo.
Since the days when my father was not always taking care of the family, my grandfather had taught Chu Liang many of his skills more frequently, and my grandmother seemed to see something, but she didn't dare to ask. Grandpa also didn't mention that he wanted Chu Liang to go to the academy to study.
One day, when Ah Long from the third grandfather's family came to look for Chu Liang, his grandfather stopped Ah Long at the door: "What should I do when you come to your little tooth cub?" Kindness? If you don't read your big book, the territory of the stockade has been transferred to me. ”
"Uncle, where's my little nephew? I was taught the timeout algorithm in class today, and I want to teach him. Aaron put the books in his schoolbag, wanting to show Abel that he was not lying, and muttered about his intentions.
Grandpa pushed Ah Long's forehead down the slope, and Ah Long's body turned and flashed: "Uncle, what are you doing here?" You don't have the money to ask Ah Liang to study, anyway, I've learned everything, how good is it to teach our own family, how good is it? ”
"You little tooth, do you want to teach me a lesson? Go home, I don't need you to teach, the sage and the Tao Lao Tzu knows better than you know! Get lost! Grandpa pointed to the wind chime board on his low door and said, "If you dare to knock on my door, as soon as that board rings, Lao Tzu will take you home with a bamboo whip, you know!" ”
Grandpa returned home, Ah Long was alone and looked at a thin rope on the low door, on which were tied three or four long planks of different sizes, which were carved with family rules, painted with insect-proof seedling oil, the wind blew, the wooden board rattled, like a wind chime, when there was no wind, it was like a flattened sausage hanging on the door, but if someone knocked on the door, the wind chime board would be "click and click" crisp sound, but it was like a homemade doorbell of the Miao family, but unfortunately the sound was very small, only people like grandpa could hear it clearly.
"In the future, you will take care of the idle affairs of your uncle's family, don't you know that he will even dare to cut his own brother when he starts to go crazy?" The third grandfather reprimanded this Ah Long, Ah Long's mother, Chu Liang's third grandmother kicked the stool where the third grandfather was sitting, they looked at each other, and the third grandfather nodded and sighed.
Later, Ah Long went to junior high school and went home once a week in the town, Chu Liang responded to his grandmother's thoughts, and before that time he went to the entrance of the village to wait for Uncle Long's return, his grandfather was supposed to take care of it, but his grandmother said that no matter how much he did, he couldn't snub the relationship of the family, so he was also an uncle who cherished Chu Liang!
So my grandfather didn't care about it anymore, thinking that there was nothing beautiful about it for a while, and besides, Aaron couldn't stay at home for much time.
"You don't have a daddy's little ye species, and you will be close to Ayu in the future!" Aru and his group of "brothers" bullied Chu Liang at the entrance of the stockade, just because Chu Liang said hello to Ayu, who was carrying firewood home.
Ayu came back from outside and saw Chu Liang sitting alone on the stone slab outside the stockade, so she stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Who are you waiting for, little brother?" ”
When Chu Liang saw Ayu, he smirked: "Wait for my Uncle Long!" He's getting out of school and he'll be back in a minute. ”
"Then don't you tell your uncle to come to our house to eat stew? Today, my grandfather hunted a hare and a wild phoenix chicken, and my grandma also likes you, saying that you smile like my brother when he was a child! "Ayu's Abba is a mountain patrol in the village, there is no hunting rifle in the era, smart people have invented a variety of ways to catch game, under the cover, pull bird nets, in short, patrolling the mountain is a boring thing, as long as there is no official person to check, in this big mountain, get some game home to enjoy, and not for the purpose of profit, the village knows that the jealous people are not easy to report.
Chu Liang never remembered that Ayu had a younger brother, but he was also curious, but he didn't dare to ask, after all, she was a girl, about the same age as Uncle Long, five or six years older than herself, and Chu Liang, who rarely had much contact with the children in the village, could only laugh stupidly.
"It's so sweet to laugh, my teeth are falling!" Alu was carrying a self-made bamboo whip in his hand, the bamboo strips of the whip were still green, he pointed to Chu Liang, and then pointed to the firewood on Ayu's back, and then yelled at Chu Liang: "If you go to eat at someone's house, if you don't work, you will eat for nothing!" Why don't you help out? Yes? ”
Alu stabbed Chu Liang on the shoulder with the bamboo whip in his hand, Chu Liang pouted, not daring to look at them, because they were all older than him, and there were many people, there were six or seven following, in their eyes, they were outsiders, not children of the Miao family, the world of children, they were so unkind to outsiders.
Ayu kicked the stone under his feet and scolded Aru: "You get out of here, beware of Aaron coming back to clean you up!" Old grandpa's little grandson, you dare to bully too? If you don't want to go home and let your parents teach you a lesson, just walk away honestly! ”
"Hey, hey, uh! You don't talk about this, it's too late for the old grandfather to hate him, otherwise why would he beat him all day long, and he likes to make a fool of him when there are many people! Look at the inside of his neck, there are all traces of bamboo whips, this kind of bamboo whip in my hand! This guy who doesn't even want Daddy, maybe his Grandma also knows that he is ashamed, so he doesn't care about this child, and then goes crazy outside, ugly, no Daddy's little ye species, pick it up......"
"Say it again-" Chu Liang picked up the stone on the ground and rushed over, he was not as tall as anyone else, he could only hold it high, and then glared at Aru like a look!
Several friends behind him were startled, looking at Chu Liang's actions, they thought that he was going to smash them directly, but Chu Liang just raised the stone in his hand and didn't dare to do it!
Aru was actually taken aback, and even Ayu almost slipped the firewood on his back from the rope in his hand. But seeing Chu Liang's trembling lips, Aru began to laugh reassuringly, still the kind of laugh that looked up to the sky, and then pushed Chu Liang to the ground and pointed at Chu Liang: "If you dare to move, I'll try!" Brothers, what should you do if this guy wants to beat your eldest brother? ”
"Do him!" The little friends behind him roared in unison.
"Hey, hey, you guys ......" Ayu simply threw away the firewood on his back and blocked in front of Chu Liang, "Aaron will definitely tell him when he comes back, you and he will clean you up!" He's a middle school student now, and he has good classmates in school! Aru, do you dare to give it a try? ”
"Try it, try it! Aru, do it! Take the bamboo whip in your hand and whip her hard, and that spineless wild boy! ”
Hearing the sound, from outside the stockade, a boy carrying a one-shoulder schoolbag, the whip in Alu's hand began to shake, and the friends behind him also ran towards the stockade in a hurry.
"Whoever runs will break his leg! If you don't come back, I'll order your house in the evening! "Someone shouted!
The children who ran away all looked down at this side, some with their pockets, some hiding behind their partners, and they all approached behind Aru in fear anyway.
"Brother Aaron? Hehe, I'm joking, look at it, it's Chu Liang who was beaten by the old grandfather, look at the injury in his neck, how can he get his hands on it, Brother Aaron... Arongo? Aru said as he spoke, Aaron walked over with a smile step by step, took off his schoolbag, and put it on Aru's neck, Aru was scared half to death, and sat directly on the ground.
"Send my schoolbag to my house, tell my grandma, I'll go to Ayu's house for dinner in the evening!"
Seeing that Ah Long didn't bother to look at him, Aru listened to his command, hurriedly grabbed his schoolbag, lost the bamboo whip in his hand, and ran away like a desperate escape!
Ayu looked at Ah Long standing handsomely in front of her, she saw Ah Long wearing a sky blue school uniform, white sneakers on his feet, and a clump of black hair squatting on top of his head like a bird's nest, Ah Yu pointed to Chu Liang behind him, and yelled at Ah Long unhappily: "Why don't you help your little nephew up?" What are you doing? Ayu came over to help Chu Liang, Chu Liang looked at Uncle Long stupidly, and then looked at Ayu's face, his fair face was flushed with peach, and he complained when he pulled himself up: "Ouch, you are so heavy, I can't even drag you anymore." ”
After Chu Liang stood up, he looked at Ah Long, squinted his eyes and asked, "You told them to beat us?" Still ruthless? Chu Liang pointed at Ah Long's nose, "Are you my uncle or are you their uncle?" ”
Ayu patted Chu Liang on the back: "Silly boy, can't you hear that you deliberately scared them?" ”
Ah Long stretched out his hand to touch the top of Chu Liang's head, Chu Liang tilted his head and looked at the dust on Ah Yuhua's shoes, which were worn out by a small cut when he kicked the stone just now, and the thorny road up the mountain to fetch firewood was not broken, just now......
"Yo, crying? This is not a man's doing! You little fool. Ah Long held Chu Liang's head and pulled it into his arms, "Okay, okay, silly boy, my uncle won't scare people in the future, next time someone bullies you, I will hit them directly when I see it, huh?" Don't cry, my silly nephew! Ah Long looked at Ah Yu, Ah Yu also wiped the corners of his eyes with tears and laughter, maybe he was shocked by the bullying aura on Alu's face just now, and thought that he would really beat him with a whip!
Ayu and Aaron looked at each other, and only the adults and the two of them knew that this was a pair of doll lovers, although they were still very ignorant of love. But the kind of affection between each other is heartfelt.
At night, Ah Long went to Ayu's house with firewood on his back, and Chu Liang was stopped by his grandmother on the street, and told Ah Long not to let his grandfather know what Chu Liang's nest looked like, otherwise he would be beaten again.
This time Chu Liang's father ruthlessly took away his mother, Ah Long also saw several ambulances leaving Miao Village on the way out of school, the driver of the car also stared at Ah Long, Ah Long chased for a while, he recognized the brother-in-law on the co-pilot, and kept shouting, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you are leaving again, what should Ah Liang do?" ”
But when he returned to the village, he knew that the iron bolt had fallen off the cliff, and Chu Liang also rushed up the mountain~!
When it was almost twelve o'clock in the night, Ah Long came back from the waterfall between the West Mountain and the back mountain with a wet iron bolt, the iron bolt was still alive, not injured, but he slept very dead, Ah Long handed over the iron bolt to the great wizard, saying that it was to call the soul, the child must be scared this time, Ah Long asked Chu Liang's grandmother: "Big Auntie, where is Ah Liang?" ”
Grandma shook her head with a sad face: "Don't worry about your tooth cub, he went into the mountain to find the iron bolt, your uncle saw that he couldn't take him down the mountain, and he might come down early tomorrow morning." ”
Ah Long frowned and looked at his grandmother: "Ah Bo is going to beat Ah Liang again, right?" I saw ...... on the road when I came back today."
Before he finished speaking, the third grandfather and the third grandmother rushed in, grabbed Ah Long and touched and pinched, for fear that Ah Long would be injured when he came back from the mountain.
Then the aunt of the iron bolt also came, and kept thanking her, and Ngawang's sister Peizhen also followed her grandfather here, and she grabbed Ah Long's arm without waiting for her grandfather to ask: "How did you find the little bolt?" Who pushed him down? Isn't it ...... you?"
"You pushed him down? I had an accident in the village as soon as I came back from school, what do you mean? What does the iron bolt have to do with you? You and he are also doll kisses? It's all gone, I won't go looking for someone if this is so annoying! All out of the way? Aaron angrily pushed away the crowd and ran out.
The iron bolt's aunt looked at Pei Zhen's worried look, and she grabbed Pei Zhen's wrist with joy: "Sister? My iron bolt is fine, and I slept at home! Would you like to check it out? ”
Grandpa pushed away the iron bolt of the grandmother: "A woman with many disasters and difficulties, don't talk nonsense!" I am an elder in the village, and I should care about the children in my own village, Peizhen is with me," he said and looked at Peizhen, "If you don't go home yet, who will deliver your grandfather and grandma's food?" Shall I go? ”
"Got it, grandpa." Peizhen bowed her head and left.
