Chapter 9: The Fat Man
I got up and got off the kang, and while getting dressed, I walked out of the house, and I saw my grandfather standing in the yard with his waist crossed and scolding the street.
I asked my grandfather what had happened, why did he start scolding again in the morning?
Grandpa pointed to the pigsty outside the gate, gritted his teeth, and said that one of the piglets under the old sow in my house was lost, and it must have been stolen.
Lost piglets? I knew about the sow giving birth a while ago, and my grandfather didn't sleep all night because of the excitement, saying that I had a hope for college tuition now, but I didn't think about it, and I lost a piglet in a few days.
I walked quickly to the fence of the pigsty and looked inside, not too big sows, no more, no less, exactly three piglets.
I remember my grandfather saying that the sow had four piglets, and if I said that, I really lost one.
Originally, I wanted to persuade my grandfather to dissipate my anger, but when my eyes were withdrawn, I inadvertently glanced at the old sow who was lying on the ground feeding the piglets, and at a glance, all the hairs on my body stood up.
As we all know, although the hair on the pig is not as lush as other animals, it is definitely not less, but this old sow in my family has long lost her mane, and the fat on her body is clear at a glance.
At this time, the grandfather also came over, looked at the sow in the circle, and couldn't help sighing, saying that it was too much to carry these days, first the ring was put at the door, and now the piglet was stolen again, and I have to go to Uncle Li to make a hexagram when I say anything.
I didn't listen to my grandfather's chatter, and my whole head was already a mess of porridge.
It was clearly written on the note that the white pig was clean and implied my death, and at first I guessed whether it was to bathe the pig or castrate the boar, but I didn't want the sow to think about it.
Now, my sow's mane has completely fallen off, is it a sign of purification?
If so, does it mean that my death is near?
"Xiaolong, what's wrong with you, are you not feeling well?" Grandpa noticed my abnormality and asked me with concern.
I was worried that my grandfather would know about the note, so I quickly squeezed out a smile and said that it was okay, but I didn't sleep well last night, and I would make up for it later.
Later, my grandfather went to Uncle Li's house, and I went back to the house, holding the note and continuing to ponder about it.
The note only said that the red girl appeared in the world, the fire dragon soared into the sky, the strange tree ate people, and the white pig was cleansed, which was the day of my death, but it was not explained that if one of the four things happened, I would die, or if all four things happened, I would die.
At night, in a dream I dreamed of purple pupils, and I couldn't wait to ask all the doubts in my heart:
Who put that ring in front of my house?
Who put that note on my desk?
Are the four sentences on that note true?
It seems that she expected me to ask this, Zitong chuckled lightly and told me that she knew about the ring, but she couldn't say who put it in front of my house, but that ring was indeed not Li Quansheng's.
And, most importantly, this is not a ring that will bring bad luck, but a ring that ward off evil spirits, and the purple pupil told me to wear the ring, so that all the dirt will not be able to get close to me.
As for the person who put the note, she couldn't say either, but those four sentences were indeed true, when all four things had happened, that is, when I died.
As soon as I heard that those four sentences were true, my heart chuckled, and I hurriedly asked Zitong, did she have a way to crack it?
The purple pupils giggled, took off their clothes, wrapped their arms around my neck and straddled me, and teased me provocatively:
"Don't worry about the princess, sometimes you have to have a hit, don't force it when you hit it, now that we know these four signs, we just need to take precautions."
After saying that, Purple Pupil stopped paying attention to me, and snorted at me like a little wild horse that had lost its stiffness.
I can see that there are many things that Zitong doesn't want to tell me, although I don't understand why she did this, but my wife has a secret behind her back, which makes me very unhappy, it seems that every time she meets me, it's just to vent her desires.
However, if you are unhappy, I still believe in Zitong in my heart, she is my daughter-in-law, and she will definitely not harm me.
After thinking about it, I still asked for the ring from my grandfather, and after hesitation, I put it on my hand, of course, my grandfather was definitely not so happy to give it to me, for which I lied the first lie in my life.
Because of that incident, Li Quansheng stayed at home all day and stopped going to school.
This is hard for me, I have to go to school by myself in fear during the day, and I have to play with Zitong on the kang at night, if I wasn't young, I would have vomited blood at the end of the day when I was a little older.
After the results of the college entrance examination were announced, I successfully missed the university with a score of 268 points, and in those days, I locked myself at home, and I felt that I had no face and no grandfather.
I'll never forget that scene: the smile on my grandfather's face froze when he learned my score, his expectant eyes gradually dimmed, and he seemed to be a lot older.
People in the mountains want to get out of the mountains, the only way is to get out, grandpa understands this truth, over the years, grandpa has given me the best things, hoping that I can get out of the mountains, but as a result, I got such a shameful score......
As the saying goes, the tree dies, the person lives, although I failed the college entrance examination, but after all, I still have to live, and in the end, my grandfather entrusted me with a job in a palace noodle factory in the town, which can be regarded as being able to support myself.
On the day I went to report, I came to the factory early, and the person in charge of receiving me was an unusually beautiful sexy girl, with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and her eyes seemed to be smiling forever when she looked at people.
Her figure can be described as a devil's figure, with a slender and slender waist, and a graceful figure, wearing a long red and yellow dress, the skirt is knee-length, and the buttons of the dress are slightly open from top to bottom, revealing a tightly wrapped black dress inside.
The girl was very enthusiastic about me, she introduced herself, saying that her name was Yemei, and she was the head of the personnel department of the factory, so that I could find her if I had something to do in the future.
Maybe my subjective assumptions are too serious, I always feel that this night charm became a minister at a young age, and my private life is definitely not clean, I am an honest peasant child, for this kind of girl, I am born with a sense of alienation.
Therefore, for the enthusiasm of the night ghost, in addition to the basic etiquette, I often keep a distance from her, for fear of having something to do with her.
When leading me to visit the factory, Night Charm always inquired about my situation intentionally or unintentionally, such as whether I was married? Whether there are children or something, for this reason, I am more and more wary of her:
You goblin, don't even want to hook up with Lao Tzu!
I was assigned to the Ministry of Transportation, to put it bluntly, I delivered goods, of course, because I didn't have a driver's license, let alone drive, so I was a small worker with a car, doing some work like chatting with the driver to relieve boredom and get started.
I was following a heavy-duty semi-trailer, and the driver was a fat man, named Hu Yao, who looked like he was in his thirties, tall and tall, a little bowed, and his eyes were very small, and his eyes would narrow into a slit when he smiled.
After handing me over to the fat man, Night Charm left, and when he left, he threw me a wink, which gave me goosebumps.
"Brother, come to the root?" The fat man pulled out a cigarette and handed it to me.
I wanted to say no, but when I thought about it, I would have to follow the fat man in the future, for fear of leaving a bad impression on him, so I hesitated to take the cigarette, after all, I heard from the people in the village that people who run big cars like to smoke and drive without getting sleepy.
Seeing that I took the cigarette, the fat man nodded with satisfaction, took out another cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it, spit out a long puff of smoke, and asked me casually, "You kid, have you ever seen a ghost?" ”
I was stunned, and my heart exploded in an instant, how did this guy know that I had seen a ghost? Could it be that he is a master?
"Brother Hu is joking, how can there be ghosts in this world?" I smiled and didn't admit it.
I didn't think that the fat man wouldn't eat my set at all, so he sneered when he heard the words, and said, "There are no ghosts? Then how did the soul lamp on your left shoulder go out? ”
