Speaking of this, Hu Doudou's grandmother couldn't help but make a joke about Hu Doudou, saying, "If your grandfather is paralyzed on the bed and pulls a bubble of shit, or if he soaks a bubble of urine and smokes the whole kiln, then are you willing to serve your grandfather in such a kiln?" ”

"I don't want to!" Hu Doudou replied very dryly.

"So, your grandmother is just enduring it now, and she doesn't want to see your grandfather paralyzed in bed, and she doesn't want to take and urine for him.

Besides, if that time comes, your uncle and your aunt will think your grandfather stinks and are unwilling to serve, and you, even more unwilling, I know, so it can only be your grandmother and me to serve.

However, since your grandmother and I knew that this would happen, why did we kick your grandfather into bed in the first place?

Right? ”

Hu Doudou thought about it in his heart, and felt that what his grandmother said was quite reasonable, so he nodded slightly.

Hu Doudou's grandmother thought that this statement was not enough to satisfy Hu Doudou, so she went on to explain:

"Besides, your grandmother and my knees are not very good, they are all suffering from rheumatism, and their bones have begun to deform now.

If your grandmother and I really kicked over and kicked your grandfather, my knee might hurt for days!

And if you use too much force, it may even hurt for a month or two! ”

At this time, Hu Doudou finally felt that his grandmother's explanation made some sense, so he nodded vigorously.

For a moment, he accidentally hit his grandmother's arm, and his grandmother screamed in pain.

"Grandma, you, it's okay!"

Hu Doudou's grandmother's arm is now so thin that there are almost a handful of bones left, and it hurts to hit Hu Doudou's head almost to pieces.

"Ouch hey!"

Hu Doudou's grandmother then deliberately raised it and said, "Why is my Doudou's head so hard!" Have you ever practiced iron head skills? ”

When Hu Doudou heard this, he was happy. Pain and joy.

"Mmmm, I've practiced iron head skills, just like the monk baby on TV, I can smash bricks to pieces."

"I'll just say, Doudou, why is your head so hard, your grandmother and my arm are already very strong, but when I was hit by you like that, ouch, it hurts."

"Hahaha......"

Hu Doudou was lifted by his grandmother, and he was almost timid about the wild things at the bottom of the ditch at this time.

At this time, Hu Doudou and his grandmother had already begun to move forward.

With each step, the grass under their feet made a rustling sound, as if something was crawling in the grass, and as if someone was whipping the grass with a rattan stick.

As he walked, Hu Doudou couldn't help but think of the grass-colored snake during the day.

As soon as he thought of this, Hu Doudou suddenly felt creepy.

Hu Doudou has always been afraid of small animals such as snakes, especially when snakes have bad intentions.

In the dream, as long as Hu Doudou dreamed of snakes, he would be so frightened that he would pee his pants, and then, rolling and crawling, like a ghost, he would wake himself up.

Not to mention that in real life, Hu Doudou also saw the snake with his own eyes - the grass-colored snake, not only saw it, but was also chased by the snake behind the buttocks.

At this time, Hu Doudou couldn't help but mutter, "Outside, grandma, will there be ...... in the grass under your feet?"

"What's there?"

"There are snakes!"

"Hehehe......"

Hu Doudou's grandmother laughed leisurely when she heard this, "How can there be a snake?" Even if there is, what are you afraid of? ”

"Well, grandmother, why aren't you afraid of snakes?"

"Of course I'm not afraid of grandma,"

Hu Doudou's grandmother smiled and said, "Actually, snakes are not as terrifying as you think.

Snakes are originally human, and there is no malice, but because human beings are afraid of snakes, they have bad intentions towards snakes, and when they see snakes, they are curious, and they want to pick up something to catch snakes.

As for snakes, snake-aware humans may attack humans when they want to hurt themselves to protect themselves. ”

Hu Doudou's grandmother quickly said it, feeling that what she said was still a little incomprehensible, so she then explained:

"Actually, the reason why your grandmother is not afraid of snakes is mainly because your grandmother and I have a powder on it."

"Powder?"

"That's right,"

Hu Doudou's grandmother said mysteriously, "This powder is called realgar, and snakes are very afraid of realgar, just like mice are afraid of cats."

As for the snake, its sense of smell is actually very sensitive, so it can smell this smell of your grandmother and me from a distance, and it will avoid your grandmother from a distance. ”

Hu Doudou felt incredulous when he heard it, "So, grandma, what is realgar?" ”

"Realgar?"

Unexpectedly, Hu Doudou's question stumped his grandmother.

However, Hu Doudou's grandmother still has a little impression of the origin of realgar.

When Hu Doudou's grandmother was a child, about the same age as Hu Doudou, his grandmother was told by adults to dig a yellow stone in the mountains.

At that time, the stone could be used as a traditional Chinese medicine to be sold in the market.

Hu Doudou's grandmother supported the family by digging rocks at that time.

At that time, the mountains were all over the mountains, and there were almost everywhere the yellow stones that looked like gold.

They used shovels, pouts, stone hammers and other tools, to beat and beat, and then carried small baskets on their backs, heavy and heavy, up and down the mountain......

They soaked the excavated rough stones in water, and when the soil was soaked clean, they fished them out piece by piece, and then put them in the sun to expose them to the sun, until the rough stones were poured clean, and Hu Doudou's grandmother's hands turned golden, just like the golden hands of the Buddha statues in the temple.

In this way, that yellow color left a deep impression on Hu Doudou's grandmother's memory.

Hu Doudou's grandmother 1510 told Hu Doudou her childhood memories in detail.

Hu Doudou almost forgot the cold, the strange cries of the wild creatures under the deep ravine, and the fear that the grass-colored snake brought to him.

"Then, grandma, why is your realgar powder?"

"Fool, if you put the realgar stone on the grinding stone and polish it, won't it become powder?"

"Oh."

In this way, Hu Doudou and his grandmother quickly walked out of the grove.

The eyes suddenly became much more empty and spacious, and under the reflection of the moon, the vision gradually became brighter.

"Grandma, where is this?"

Hu Doudou asked, looking at a cave not far away.

"This is an old-fashioned cave from a long, long time ago."

Hu Doudou's grandmother said with a smile, "A long, long time ago, there were still many miles living here, and after that, because this place was too close to the dan water ditch, wild animals would come up from the deep ditch and knock on people's doors in the middle of the night.

So, over time, people felt that this place was dangerous and unsuitable for people to live in, and in addition, the traffic here was not convenient, and it would take a whole day to go to the market just to walk, so slowly, people moved to live on the flat hill. ”

Hu Doudou understood his grandmother's words, couldn't help but be curious, and looked at the two abandoned old caves on the other side.

From a distance, Hu Doudou looked over, as if he saw a pair of huge human eyes in the dark.

Hu Doudou suddenly stopped subconsciously.

"Doudou, what are you looking at?"

"Grandma, I, I saw there, it was black, like two semicircular human eyes."

"Hehehe, it's just two abandoned ancient kilns, and now they look like two people's big eyes."

"Oh."

"Let's go, we won't be able to walk a few more steps, and we'll be there."

"Is it at my tenth grandfather's house?"

Hu Doudou's grandmother smiled and said, "Yes, it's your tenth grandfather's house." ”
