Jincheng Lost Chapter 13 Uncle Zhang's Past 2
My hand holding the wine glass became tighter and tighter, and my palms were oozing with sweat, but I didn't know it at the time, the whole person entered the story of Uncle Zhang, and unconsciously blurted out: "What did you see?" ”
Uncle Zhang saw that I was so fascinated, he actually became proud, took a sip of wine and said: "I saw a few small animals coming in at the door, pay attention, it's 'walking'!" Standing on two legs, there were foxes, weasels, and hedgehogs...... There were so many animals that I was so scared that I covered my mouth tightly and didn't dare to breathe. ”
"The leader was a white-haired weasel, who stood and looked at it a few times, and when he spotted our family, he came over and jumped on the kang, and I told you I could smell it! It squeaked a few times in front of my father's ear, and my father seemed to understand, and he smiled and said to him very contemptuously, 'Humph! Let's go! ’”
"The white-haired weasel squeaked at the animals, and they took out the rope and tied my father, and then a bunch of beasts carried my father out of the door and out of the yard."
I covered my mouth, and I didn't make a sound the whole time, and I was so frightened that I burst into tears, and after a while I called my mother up, and when my mother heard about it, she was also scared and cried. We sat and waited all night, until the next morning, when my father came back in ashes. ”
"My mom and I hurried up to meet me and asked my dad what happened yesterday, and my dad smiled and said, get me something to eat, and talk while eating."
Speaking of this, Uncle Zhang lit a cigarette and took a puff hard, as if that incident was very impressive to him.
"My mom made my dad a bowl of hot noodles, and he ate it quickly, and then we talked about last night. He said that when he heard movement in the yard yesterday, he knew that it must be a catastrophe, and sure enough, after a while, the door opened, and a white weasel turned to his ear and said, as long as you follow us, we will not embarrass your family, otherwise, we will get a fish to die today. ”
"When my father said yes, they carried my father all the way out into the woods, where there was a big oil pot, and the oil was actually green, and it was billowing and smoking. Next to the oil pot are animal corpses, all of which are so-called 'immortals' among the people, and some broken objects, which are left after the evil ghosts were destroyed. It was so spectacular that my dad laughed and laughed at them for forming an alliance of demons and ghosts. The leading white-haired weasel said to my father viciously, look at how many of our compatriots you have killed in the past few years, and today we will get together and make a break with you! ”
"When the white-haired weasel was done, he let the brutes throw my father into the hot pan."
When I heard this, my heart tightened, and I hurriedly asked, "Your father was fried by them in an oil pan?" ”
Uncle Zhang smiled and said, "No, no, listen to me." They threw my dad into the oil pot, and my dad said that in the pot, although the oil looked hot, it didn't feel anything when it touched my body, but it was extremely painful, as if it was being fried in oil. My father couldn't bear the pain, so he took out the gold needle from his sleeve with one hand and plunged it under the oil pot. At that moment, the world was spinning, and there was no oil pot, even the beasts and corpses, all of which were gone, leaving my father lying on his back on a handful of ashes. ”
"My dad laughed and told us about what happened that night, but my mom and I were so scared that our mouths and jaws were almost on the ground."
My mom hurriedly asked if my dad was really okay. My dad waved his hand and said it was fine, but the next second, he spat out blood. My mother was so frightened that she hurriedly helped my father to see the doctor, but the doctor only said that my father's viscera was very weak, and it would be good to prescribe some medicine to regulate and recuperate. Later, I didn't take less medicine, but my father became weaker and weaker. We can only go to the county town to check, or the doctor in the big hospital, the results came out in half a day, saying that my father's organs began to fail at the same time, but there is no danger to life at the moment, and they have not seen this situation, only to observe again. ”
"My father is afraid of spending money, so he hasn't been to the hospital since then, anyway, it's over every nine days. After that, I took over the work of the nine families, ninety-nine, and my father didn't plan to take any more risks, so he washed his hands in the golden basin that day and hung a sign outside. It reads: Shen Needle Zhang has been sealed for ten years. ”
"My father originally wanted to pass the needle to me, but he only blamed the reputation of 'Shen Needle Zhang' too loudly, and everyone in ten miles and eight towns would look for my father for anything, so within a few years, my father reached the bottleneck of ninety-nine. At that time, I was only ten years old, and it was impossible for me to let a child fight those bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, so my father thought of this way, and when I grew up in ten years, he would take over his class. Originally, it should have been over at this point, but who knows...... Alas! ”
I hurriedly asked, "Who knows what?" What happened later? ”
Uncle Zhang took another puff of smoke and said: "One morning, the old lady of the Zhao butcher in the village came to my house, and knelt down for my father when she entered the door, she cried and said that my father should save her son, my father waved his hand and said, I am no longer done, don't you see the sign hanging in front of the door?" When my son is twenty years old, I will pass on the craft to him, but now that he is young, you can go, I can't help him. ”
"But who knows, the old lady kowtowed on the spot, seven or eight heads knocked down, there were blood stains on the ground, my father hesitated for a long time, or sighed: 'Pity the world's parents, I'll go with you to see, don't blame me if you can't save ......you', the old lady was so happy, she stood up suddenly, and she was still a little unsteady on her feet, Rao was like this, she still staggered in front of my father, and trotted us all the way to his house."
"When I arrived at his house, that strange scene, alas! I'll never forget ......."
Uncle Zhang was about to pour wine into his mouth again, but who knew that at this time, Zhang Genhuo spoke: "What did you see?" ”
I didn't speak for a long time, and I forgot about this stupid boy, but I didn't expect him to listen to it very well.
Uncle Zhang ignored him, drank to himself, and then said: "When we arrived at his house, we saw that the house was covered with bloodstains, and Zhao Butcher was lying on the ground, wriggling forward like a snake. There was a long trail of blood behind him, his tongue was stuck out in his mouth, and he said in a hoarse voice, You have killed so many of my compatriots, don't you love snake meat? I'll let you taste the pain of this rotten skin and flesh today! ”
"The old lady of the butcher of Zhao whimpered and said that her son has been like this for many days, and it has no effect to ask the mage everywhere to come and see, seeing that the belly rubbed on the ground is rotten, and if she doesn't save it, she is afraid that people will not survive."
"My father asked her why she didn't find someone to tie up Zhao Butcher, who knew that the old lady said that it was not that she didn't look for it, but that a piece of skin fell off when he touched it, and no one dared to move."
"I took a closer look, and there were indeed two pieces of human-sized skin on Zhao Butcher's shoulders, revealing bright red flesh, no longer bleeding, and there were signs of decay."
Then the old lady knelt down again and cried loudly for my father to save his son. Who knew that this cry attracted the attention of Zhao Butcher. Zhao Butcher's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he looked straight at my father, and he said to my father, you better leave it alone with the surname Zhang, this fat man's life is going to be decided. Lao Bai, this waste, didn't blow you up with an oil pan, but you have also reached the limit, if you want to be strong in this matter, you can't afford the consequences! ”
Speaking of this, Uncle Zhang sighed again.
"Alas! My father is a soft-hearted person, in fact, that Zhao butcher is not a good person, this piece of snakes is about to be killed by him, he not only eats it himself, but also sells it, and takes it excessively! ”
Zhang Gen couldn't listen anymore, and said: "I said you old man, you tell stories, you tell stories, can you not add so many narrations, it's really annoying!" ”
Uncle Zhang scolded him for a while, and then continued: "My father also knew at the time that he couldn't take care of this matter anymore, but while watching the tragic situation of Zhao Butcher, the old lady began to kowtow again, and my father finally moved his heart of compassion. He quickly ran to the butcher Zhao, and before the butcher could react, he was inserted into the back of my neck's neck by my father, and he said the word 'you' and never moved again. ”
Zhao Butcher's wife beckoned her relatives to come in, and hurriedly sent Zhao Butcher to see a doctor, I am afraid that the wounds of this body will have to be recuperated for a long time. My father dragged me home as if he had lost his soul. None of these people knew that my dad might have paid for them with his own life. ”
"Walking on the road, my father said a lot to me, he said that after all, he is soft-eared, and he can't see death without help, there is a difference between people and people, right and wrong, who is right and who is wrong, can not say well, just do it with your heart. If I leave, I'm so sorry for you two girls......"
"We just arrived at home, as soon as we entered the door, suddenly there was a demonic wind, a black gas disk in the sky above my house kept spinning, after a while a leaf fell out of the black gas, fell in front of my father, we picked it up and looked, there were four small red words on it: your wheat field. After my father saw it, he smiled bitterly twice and said to me, the demon god is coming, and I can't live. I said, how did you know the demon god was coming? My father paused for a moment, still smiling bitterly, and he said that I didn't know that I had this idea in my head, maybe it was doomed. ”
"After my father entered the house, he asked my mother to make a bowl of lo mein, he loved my mother's made lo mein, and when he finished chewing slowly, he sighed and said, such a delicious lo mein, I won't be able to eat it in the future, after saying that, he cried out and hugged me and my mother hard. My mother complained to my father while crying, saying why did you save that Zhao butcher, put yourself in, is it worth it? My dad said, why do you want to do this, it's useless to regret it. ”
Speaking of this, Uncle Zhang stretched out his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, it can be seen that decades have passed, and he is still obsessed with this matter and is unforgettable.
"My dad just left, and my mom kept crying on the kang in the house, and she couldn't open her crying eyes. My heart was very sour, and I thought what it would be like if I never saw my father again, so I chased it out all the way to my family's wheat field. I saw the most horrific picture I've ever seen in my life. ”
Uncle Zhang's hand holding the cigarette was trembling, he pursed his lips and said: "At that time, my father was standing in the wheat field, quite far away from him, there was a large black cloud, under the black cloud, there was a big thing, climbing on the tip of the wheat, I looked carefully, it was the phantom of a big snake, it crawled towards my father on the tip of the wheat, just like on the flat ground." When I got closer to my father, its large phantom began to get smaller, smaller and smaller, and finally became a small white snake the size of a brush floating in the air. My dad didn't move, as if he was asleep standing up. As soon as the little white snake's tail flicked, it went directly into my father's head, and rushed out from the back of his head, and my father opened a bloody hole in his head, and fell directly on his back. ”
"I was so scared that I peed my pants, but I rushed out anyway, and I ran desperately to my father's side, and found that he was no longer breathing, and the little white snake was gone. I sat next to my dad and cried all the time, and when the blind date I passed by saw the scene just now, I was also scared and weak, and I didn't dare to come at all. ”
"After that, the cause of my father's death spread all of a sudden, and the Zhao butcher family was afraid of getting into trouble, so they fled to other cities overnight."
Uncle Zhang extinguished the cigarette in his hand and said with a wry smile: "People, sometimes it's really ruthless......"
Zhang Genhuo asked, "What happened later?" ”
"Later? Later, I collected the needle, but I couldn't help it, I already had a shadow on it, and the 'Divine Needle Zhang', which had been famous for a hundred years, was broken in my inheritance. My mother was in poor health, and in order to support her family, she suffered and suffered, and finally became seriously ill and died. When I was eighteen years old, I was orphaned and followed the old folk's car. Came to Jincheng, went to the construction site, brushed the plates, and finally achieved nothing, and then later, I didn't ask for anything, I begged for the rest of my life to live comfortably and comfortably, so I came to this community to be a security guard, and I did it for half my life. I haven't had any friends for most of my life, and I'm reluctant to make friends with others, because I'm probably a broom star throughout my life. ”
I patted Uncle Zhang's shoulder and comforted: "The world is impermanent, our current situation can be regarded as orphans, and we have experienced almost ......."
Zhang Genhuo also came over to talk: "Lao Zhang, I'm embarrassed just now, I didn't know you still had such a miserable past, I was a little heavy just now, you have to bear more." ”
These words came out of Zhang Genhuo's mouth, and I even wondered if I was hallucinating.
Lao Zhang laughed and said: "Oh, everyone is a brother, what to do or not, drinking with you two every day This day is probably the most alive time since I was ten years old, come!" Drink! ”
We raised our glasses and drank them all.
Uncle Zhang put down the wine glass, directly stuffed the box containing the gold needle into my hand, and said drunkly, "Gensheng, the vast sea of people, we are fateful, coincidentally, you two are also surnamed Zhang, maybe it is destined to be me" Shen Needle Zhang "continue to inherit, this golden needle, I will give it to you today, but to prevent evil, even if you don't use him, leave a memorial, and when I die, it will be regarded as a memory for my friends......"
"Lao Zhang, you're drunk, we can't ask for such a valuable thing."
Who knew that Uncle Zhang was anxious when he heard it, picked up the wine bottle and put it on top of his head, and shouted: "Do you look down on me, I am just such a thing that I can handle, if you don't want it, I will die here today!" ”
I knew that he had really drunk too much, so I could only put away the golden needle for the time being, thinking that I would return it to him later if I had a chance.
Uncle Zhang gave up at this time, grinned, fell on the bed, and fell asleep.
