Chapter 2: Trouble

The village chief's son is very strong, his name is Liu Dong, and his head is very big, and I used to call him Liu Datou.

He is a head taller than me, and he has perfectly inherited his father's genes of power, and in school, basically no one dares to go against him, snatching snacks from classmates, lifting girls' skirts, and throwing stones into the toilet to splash Mr. Teach's shit...... It's all his daily routine.

Because his father was the village chief, most parents taught their children to endure it, but my father never let me endure it, and if the village chief's son dared to bully me, he told me to beat me back.

In addition to me, there was a short man who looked stunted, a lot smaller than his age, because his father had killed people, and basically no one in the whole village wanted to associate with his family, but he and I were the best friends.

Liu Datou took out a handful of candy, distributed it to the female classmates and sent them away, and then asked more than a dozen of our male classmates to take off their pants.

I don't know how much sugar Liu Datou hid in his pocket, but I saw that he took out another handful, and each male classmate shared one, and then followed his father's example, and said very arrogantly.

"It's not for you to eat, you chew the sugar and put it on the cock, sit down, whoever sticks the most ants will follow me"

In the second grade of primary school, they are all six or seven years old, and they are not sensible, all of them are sitting on the sand by the reservoir with their bare white buttocks, watching one ant after another climb up, I didn't want to play this game, but I thought that my pants were taken off, in case I won, it is not a bad thing to follow Liu Datou, so I also endured the itching pain between the scorching sun and ants, and I held on to the end.

But there is one thing I didn't expect, since this incident, I, Liu Datou, and the dwarf have been considered by the villagers to be the three hooligans, although I think that there is still a long way to go from the hooligans, but the title of the "three hooligans" has accompanied me all my life, and also made the three of us good brothers to the death.

That night, because we won, Liu Datou asked him for two yuan, went to the shop to buy melon seeds and pokers, and then took my canoe to my house to "celebrate".

When my father and mother saw the village chief's son coming, they burned the big fish they had caught two days ago, and after a few people finished eating, Liu Datou had to compete with me again, and said that he would go to the water's edge to fry the golden flowers.

The dwarf did not object at first, but when he came to the water's edge, the hazy water surface was covered with an overwhelming fog, although there was a breeze blowing, but the dwarf was still frightened and trembling, pointing to the water and asking me and Liu Datou.

"Is there a ghost in the water, let's go back!"

Liu Datou kicked the short man, scolded him for being a coward, pulled him to a big rock and spread out the poker, and said complacently.

"This is the new poker, let me tell you, the last time the township chief came to my house to play the old cards, the big and small ghosts or I painted them with paper shells, you don't have to be dissatisfied, there are cards and melon seeds, who instigates who is the grandson"

I've never touched such a hard poker, grabbed a big ghost, looked at the moonlight, and thought that rich people are different, even poker can show people.

Suddenly, there was a few flutters on the water, and the two water birds screamed a few times and then stopped moving, and then suddenly a very strong wind blew, and the water splashed on the stones, pouring the dwarf on his face, he was already a little scared, and now he was so frightened that he stood up, pointed to the water and said in horror.

"Mountain...... Brother Shan...... You...... Lo and behold...... Is that the ghost?"

I followed his finger and looked ahead, and somehow there was a fist-sized ball of light spinning on the water, and I was very scared, so I stood up and said to Datou, "Datou, or don't play today, let's play again during the day."

"Go, go, two big cowards, so be it, you lose to drink water, I lose to give you money, a handful of a dime, how about it"

I don't know why the big head is so bold, I can't resist him, and when I win, I still have money to collect, so I pull the dwarf and sit down, and the three of them are eating melon seeds and touching cards.

But after playing for a while, Liu Datou may also be afraid, and every time he flops, he makes a loud noise: "Damn, why is it 235 again, tonight is really an evil door, this is two cents, you take it, let's come again!" ”

As Liu Datou said, I also feel deeply evil, because my cards are not straight on the pair, even three A have taken five or six times, not only did not drink a sip of water in the reservoir, but also won several dollars, seeing that it was very late, I closed the card and said: "Big head, this is the last hand, after playing to my house to sleep, we have to go to school tomorrow"

Liu Datou grabbed my hand, snatched the poker, shuffled the cards, and muttered: "What kind of school, do you want to run if you win money, I can tell you, if you want to accompany me tonight, let my father come to your house tomorrow to collect money"

My family was already poor, and I was afraid that Liu Datou would let my father really collect money, so I had to play with him, but the short man was not afraid of him, and stood up and pointed at the big head's head and scolded.

"I have the ability to ask your father to go to my house to collect it, see if I don't tell your father and Widow Zhang to the township, Brother Shan and I are not afraid of you"

When Liu Datou heard that he was going to the township to sue his father and Widow Zhang, he immediately became anxious, stuffed a large handful of melon seeds into the dwarf's hand, and said with a smile.

"I said shorty, let's all play cards together now, we can be regarded as brothers, my father is the village head, I can take care of a lot of things, if this is someone else, your father's little, don't go to the police station"

I didn't want them to quarrel over this issue, so I took one by one, kicked all the melon seeds on the stone into the water, and glared at them.

"Playing cards together is not considered brothers, we have to drink a few sips of water in this reservoir together, whoever instigates it is a grandson, what do you say?"

The reservoir was gloomy, very scary to look at, the big head and the short man looked at it a few times, but swallowed saliva and bowed his head and did not dare to speak, I took advantage of the strength of what I had just spoken, jumped down from the stone, took a sip of cold water, and then climbed up the stone and ridiculed them as grandsons.

The big head had never been spoken, and he jumped down in a puff, and was about to drink the water, but the dwarf suddenly screamed.

"Big head, what's next to your leg, it seems to be a pair of shoes, quickly scoop it up and take a look"

I looked next to the big head and legs, and sure enough, I saw a pair of brightly embroidered shoes swinging in the water, and thought to myself that this family is too rich, and it would be a pity to lose such a good pair of shoes, so I also shouted for the big head to pick it up.

I looked at the embroidered shoes that had fallen on the stones, and tilted my head to think that the owner of the shoes must be a woman, and that the man would wear red embroidered shoes.

The dwarf didn't know what the wind was blowing, so he kicked his shoes into the water and shouted: "Mom, these are the shoes worn by dead people, no wonder they are so evil, let's go back quickly"

Liu Datou stood in the water, as soon as he heard that there was a dead person, his legs were weak with fright, and he fell into the water with a plop, and the soaring sound brought by the struggle was very loud, and he poured a few mouthfuls of cold water before shouting.

"Save me, there's something pulling me, you two bastards come down quickly......"

I was very scared, for fear that Liu Datou would die here, so I hurriedly jumped down and stood up with him in my arms, and by the moonlight I saw that it was not something pulling him, but that his clothes were covered by branches in the water, so I laughed at him.

"Look, you're scared, it's the branches, okay, let you go back and don't believe it, what's going on now"

The dwarf also jumped down to help, and after helping Liu Datou ashore, the three of us didn't dare to play, and came back with the quilt covering our heads to sleep, but as soon as I closed my eyes, it was as if a white face was leaning over, and I was so frightened that I hid in the quilt and shivered.

I later learned that the dwarf and Liu Datou also had this terrifying feeling, and when they returned the next morning, I was so sick that my limbs were so weak that I couldn't even stand up.

I didn't go to school that day, and I didn't dare to come out for a day when I hid under the covers, until in the evening, when the village chief and the dwarf's father came to my house to inquire, saying that they were sick when they returned in the morning, and I thought to myself that something bad might have happened to a ghost last night.

Seeing that I couldn't get out of bed, the village chief questioned my father, saying that if Liu Datou died, I would have to accompany the funeral, but the dwarf man's father had a fight with the village chief, saying that it was all Liu Datou's trouble.

My father was very honest, he couldn't beat them, he couldn't scold them, he just tried his best to persuade them, and only after they were emotionally stable did I hear my father's voice.

"Village chief, I see that I don't have a few years to live, children are all meat of my heart, who doesn't feel distressed, things have happened, it's not a way to make noise, I see that he is evil"

Hiding under the quilt, my whole body was sore, and I didn't know what kind of expressions the village chief and the dwarf's father were, but I heard the village chief say.

"Shanzi went to Houshan last year and fell into evil, fainted for more than ten days, and was finally rescued by the Taoist, but now where do we find the Taoist, everywhere is to destroy the four olds, and even the mud Bodhisattva in the temple is smashed to the slag is gone."

I smelled a heavy smell of smoke, presumably the dwarf's father was smoking a dry cigarette, and it wasn't long before I heard him say it.

"This thing is easy to do, I'll find someone to govern it, but since this is in Lao Li's house, the money has to be paid by Lao Li, if it doesn't work, let Lao Li give me a few whole fish for the New Year."

When my father heard that things were easy to do, he dared to refute them, and immediately agreed, and only after they left did he pull open my quilt, touch my head and say.

"Shan'er, my father has only been around for two or three years, you have to get along well with the villagers, don't be foolish anymore."

After speaking, my father shed two muddy tears, and my heart tingled, and then I remembered the words of the strange Taoist, "Jiazi mantra, no one can live past the age of sixty."

I told my father that I had caught an embroidered shoe last night, and he was so frightened that he fell to his knees......
