Chapter 266: The Magical Iron King VIII
"So I had to go to my own house, and when I got to my house, I found out that in the month of last year, there was a commotion in the courtyard of the Xu family, as if there was something, squeaking there, as if it was a mouse, but the sound was loud and scary, there would be no such big rats at all, and the big guy was panicked for a while.
In the last month, the screams have become more powerful, not only the sound of rats, but also the screams of various creatures, plus the beginning of less chickens and dogs and other things in the village, for a while the people of Xujiazhuang were panicked, everyone said that there were monsters in the Xu family compound, and then there was a bold person who climbed into the Xu family compound, and when he came back, he went crazy, saying that the Xu family compound was hell, and it was full of white bones.
Everyone said that there were man-eating monsters in the Xu family's compound, so everyone closed their doors at night and didn't dare to come out. I asked my family if anyone had ever seen what a monster looked like, and my family said that someone had seen a monster, and the monster was about the same size as a fox, but its legs were shorter than that of a fox, its eyes were red, and its long tail was dragging behind it, which was very scary.
I wanted to go in to see what kind of monster it was, but I was stopped by my family, and I was not allowed to see it, and I said that I had to ask a master to surrender, and told me to invite you, so I asked the driver to drive to invite you and help me subdue the demon and eliminate the demon. ”
I said, "It's a little strange what you're talking about, it's either a weasel or a mouse, and it's hard to say what it is." ”
Xu Jingshan hurriedly said: "Dao Chief, please help me get rid of this monster, my second grandfather gave me a dream, that scene is too miserable, by the way, these are trivial meanings, after getting rid of the monster, I must have a lot of thanks." ”
As he spoke, he put a thing wrapped in red paper on the table, and then opened the red paper bag, I saw that inside was a piece of silver Yuan Datou, at least a dozen yuan, and the money sent to the door could not help but earn, seeing that the two junior brothers were about to marry a daughter-in-law, and earn some money to let them marry a daughter-in-law in a beautiful manner, so I took Dayang and asked Xu Jingshan to wait a while, and we went to pack up our things, I brought the demon bag and the ghost head knife, and the ghost head knife worked to kill monsters.
After we packed up, we asked Xu Jingshan if he came in a horse-drawn carriage, and Xu Jingshan said that he had asked the driver to drive a motorcycle, and I knew it was an iron turtle as soon as I heard about the motorcycle. In the Republic of China, the name of the car is different from now, at that time, the car was called a motorcycle, because there was a wave of sound, also called a wave of the car, we countrymen called this kind of four wheels, will run by themselves, called the Iron King Eight. As for what is a car? In fact, the car in the Republic of China was a train, and the train at that time was driven by a steam engine, of course, it can be called a car. And what about cars? Not long after it came out, it changed from steam engine drive to internal combustion engine drive, how to write internal combustion engine drive in English? motor, so the car should be called a motorcycle. The motorcycle does not need manpower, as soon as it hits the fire, as soon as it hangs the gear, as soon as it puts the gas pedal, it will go by itself, and it is even more correct to call it a bicycle. The bicycle was called a foreign car in the Republic of China, and even now, some elderly people in Shandong still call the bicycle a foreign car.
We walked out with Xu Jingshan, and saw a black iron turtle surrounded by a lot of people in front of it, the countrymen have little knowledge, and most of them have never seen a car, so the curiosity about this huge iron guy can be imagined, at this time some children want to touch the car, as long as the child comes forward, the person wearing a peaked cap next to him will shout: "Don't touch, be careful that it bites you." ”
Those children who see the excitement will run backwards, in fact, for this kind of car, I have not seen a few times, but if you look closely, it does look like the Iron King Eight, round, with two big eyes in front, it is said that the light emitted at night is brighter than any lamp, and it can illuminate a mile. At this time, I heard two old men in the village talking about this Iron King Eight.
One of them said: "Oh, my mother, I was baking pancakes at home today, and suddenly I heard a strange scream, so I hurriedly ran out to see, and I was almost scared to death at that time. ”
Another woman said: "It's not a thing, you said this thing, you can run so fast on your stomach, if you stand up, you won't run the old nose." ”
There were also some who discussed what the big guy ate, and some of them didn't know how to pretend to understand that the iron turtle eats grass and can only be fed at night when no one is around. Xu Jingshan laughed when he heard these words, we walked to the front of the car, those who watched the excitement automatically gave way, Xu Jingshan invited us to get in the car, and then suddenly an old man came over and said: "Dare you can't go in, this person has entered the belly of the Iron King, can you still live?" ”
As soon as I saw that it was a grandfather of my family, I smiled and said, "It's okay, this Iron King Ba is specially sitting, you see that people are sitting, and there is nothing at all." ”
The old man was skeptical, and at this time my father and mother also asked me to be careful, isn't it just a car? But at that time, unlike now, for new things, some people can't accept it at all, just like taking pictures, people at that time firmly believed that they couldn't take pictures casually, and this photography would suck people's souls into the photos.
As soon as we sat on the Iron King Eight, this is incomparable to the carriage, which accommodated five of us, and it was not too crowded, it was very comfortable to sit on it, and then the driver in front of him honked the horn, making a wave sound, and the crowd hurriedly gave way, only to see the person who was driving, shaking an iron thing, and then I heard a boom, and the iron turtle walked slowly.
This is now, children know what is going on, but at that time, it was a great thing, and we only felt that it was very magical. Sitting in it all the way, I saw that the trees were running towards the back, this iron turtle was much faster than the carriage, and the important thing was that it was not very panicked when it ran so fast. I fell asleep while sitting in the Iron Tortoise, and when I woke up, I arrived in a small town, and had some food in the town, and we were about to set off, and the Iron Tortoise could not move. The driver started fixing the car while we walked around town.
In fact, the driver of the Republic of China is definitely technical, and later I learned that this Republic of China learned to drive, first learn the hand number, this hand number, is the previous turn signal, such as when turning left, the hand number is to stretch out the left hand, counterclockwise circle; To turn right, instead, you need to extend your right hand and draw a clockwise circle. If you need to stop halfway, you can use both your left and right hands, stretch out your palm, and press down on your palm a few times. And so on, as soon as it is taught.
Then it's about learning to repair cars, so why do you have to learn repair techniques? First, the old society could only assemble some clumsy trucks, there were no real domestic cars, the cars you drive came from all over the world, in case something went wrong, they could only be repaired in China, and it was impossible to ship them to Europe and the United States for warranty by manufacturers; Second, the road conditions in the old society were very bad, and it was easy to lie down when driving; Third, at that time, there was neither a 4S shop, nor a serious lack of car repair stores, and drivers often encountered a time when they called the day should not be called, and the ground was not working, and they had to do it themselves.
It wasn't until the afternoon that the driver called us, saying that the car was repaired, we were on the iron turtle, after the iron turtle, started the iron turtle, and finally in the evening, we arrived at a big Zhuangzi, this Zhuangzi has three big of our village, to Zhuangzi after eating, it was already dark, we asked Xu Jingshan to show us the way, we want to go to his Xu family compound to have a look.
Xu Jingshan's family told us to be careful, and said that the monster was powerful. Xu Jingshan led us to walk from the edge of the Zhuangzi, and then saw that there was a lonely mansion on the edge of the Zhuangzi, and there was no one around it. At this time, Xu Jingshan pointed to the mansion and said, the mansion is his home, at this time I heard the mansion, faintly heard the screams of animals, as if it was very painful, I looked back at Xu Jingshan, only to see that his body was a little trembling, I said, "Brother Xu, go back?" ”
We had a drink with Xu Jingshan, and Xu Jingshan asked us not to call him Mr., just call him Brother Xu.
