Chapter 1: The Scourge of the Village
The sand and dust in the sky rolled up wildly, obscuring the blood-colored sky, Luo Longyu lay weakly in the sand, his eyes were blurred, his whole body was in hot pain, he struggled to open his eyes, and there was blood flickering in the depths of his eyes, but it soon disappeared, replaced by abyssal darkness, he didn't know what happened, his memory was blurred the moment Wu Jiabin's blood stained the yellow sand, and now he regained consciousness, but he didn't remember anything.
The roar of the helicopter kept lingering in his ears, and in a vague way he saw several dark shadows flying through the sky, it was the helicopter, and several figures jumped from the helicopter and landed beside him......
"I found it, it doesn't seem to be a big deal, it's just that the first time it burst out with too much power, and some of it consumes too much."
"Well, that's good, take it back, let the above deal with it, and leave the rest to the troops, and they will handle it properly."
Hearing a few short conversations in a trance, Luo Longyu was lifted up, he opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.
"Final...... Still can't escape fate...... Corpse...... After so many years, I finally became a zombie......" Luo Longyu smiled bitterly in his heart, slowly closed his eyes, and at the moment when he fell into darkness, he seemed to have returned to the past, and those memories that he didn't want to recall were pouring out uncontrollably at this time......
The sound of the mountain stream clangling, the afterglow of the setting sun falling on a mountain undulating landscape, accompanied by a slightly chilly mountain wind, made this already quiet mountain forest more and more secluded, beside the stream, a little boy in dirty clothes placed his school bag with many patches on the stone, then climbed a large tree, and took down a bamboo pole, which was a fishing rod, but it was obviously homemade.
The little boy sat alone by the stream with a fishing rod, skillfully dug out the earthworms, and began to fish, everything seemed very normal.
There were also other children of the same age who walked behind the little boy with their school bags on their backs, talking, laughing, and making trouble, but none of them wanted to approach the little boy.
The little boy seemed to be accustomed to it, quietly fishing for his own fish, wiping his snot, very attentive.
Time passed minute by minute, and the children of the same age had returned home, but the little boy still sat in place, and his luck seemed to be a little bad today, until now there was no fish on the bait, and the little boy continued to wait patiently with hunger.
At this moment, the sound of a bicycle came to an abrupt halt behind the little boy, followed by the shout of an old man: "Hey! Dragon Feather! I knew you were fishing here, let's go, go home for dinner! ”
Luo Longyu turned his head and saw the old man who was dressed plainly and pushing the 28 bars, showed a simple smile, and said, "Grandpa the village chief, my fish is about to be caught."
"You kid, when are you still fishing, hurry home and eat, hurry up." The village chief put away the bicycle, stepped forward to pull up Luo Longyu, picked up Luo Longyu's schoolbag, and drove Luo Longyu home as if he was taking his grandson, and didn't even give Luo Longyu the opportunity to put a fishing rod on Luo Longyu.
Luo Longyu lives in a small mountain village, which is also a well-known poor area, and he has to walk several kilometers of rugged mountain roads to go to primary school, and Luo Longyu has no father and no mother, two years ago, when Luo Longyu was four years old, the only grandfather also died of illness, Luo Longyu remembers very clearly, there were many people outside his small dilapidated house that day, but few dared to come in, only the village chief's grandfather and a few prime of life entered the house.
The village chief and grandfather talked for a long time in the room, Luo Longyu sat alone on the small bench outside, at that time he didn't know what death was, and after a long time, the village chief walked out of the room with red eyes, called Luo Longyu over, rubbed Luo Longyu's head, and said in a hoarse voice: "Child, go see your grandfather."
Luo Longyu looked at the village chief with a pair of bright eyes, and walked into the room for some reason.
The light in the room was very dim, the dim light bulb was shining weakly, grandpa was lying on the kang, watching Luo Longyu come in, a pair of eyes that were deeply sunken suddenly flashed a glimmer of brilliance, the thin palm stretched out, holding Luo Longyu's small hand, a pair of cloudy eyes were full of tears, and his eyes were full of reluctance and worry.
Grandpa struggled to open his mouth, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Grandson...... My grandson, I'm dead, what can you do, grandpa let you go, you have to be obedient in the future, study hard, and ...... in the future ......" The old man couldn't make a sound as he spoke, his lips opened and closed, but he couldn't make any sound, and his eyes slowly lost their luster, but they didn't close them......
The four-year-old Xiao Longyu was still looking at his grandfather stupidly, and the village chief walked in at this time, and when he saw Luo Longyu gently shaking the old man, he couldn't help but come up and hold down Luo Longyu.
Luo Longyu turned his head to look at the village chief and said, "What's wrong with my grandfather, why did he fall asleep with his eyes open."
It wasn't until a winter later that Luo Longyu learned what death was from a little friend, it was raining lightly that day, Luo Longyu and a little friend from the same village were sheltering from the rain in a cave, Luo Longyu saw the corpse of a rabbit, his eyes widened, and he immediately said: "Look, this rabbit is asleep, and he is asleep with his eyes open."
The little friend glanced at it, and immediately laughed: "You fool, the rabbit is dead, not asleep."
"Dead? What is dead? Luo Longyu didn't know why.
"Hmm......" The little friend thought about it for a moment and said, "If it's dead, it's gone."
"None? But the rabbit is here. Luo Longyu scratched his head.
The little friend stepped forward and kicked the rabbit corpse and said, "Look, the rabbit is motionless, this is dead, although you can still see it, but you can't wake up, you can't speak, you can't move, and you can't run."
Luo Longyu looked at the rabbit corpse that was kicked aside by his friend, and suddenly remembered when his grandfather was motionless with his eyes open, so he asked, "What about my grandfather?" My grandfather also fell asleep with his eyes open. ”
"Hahaha, your grandfather is dead." The little friend was amused again.
Luo Longyu was stunned for a long time before he said, "Dead?" My grandfather...... Without? But the village chief's grandfather told me that my grandfather had just gone far away. ”
"The village chief's grandfather lied to you, your grandfather was buried in the mountain behind us, and I went there to play, and was beaten by my father in the end." The little friend rubbed his buttocks with palpitations.
As he was talking, a shout came from a distance, and the little friend listened carefully, and suddenly said happily: "Fool, my mother is here." After speaking, he shouted outside the cave: "Mom! Mother! I am here! ”
Not long after, a woman ran over eagerly with an umbrella, and kept saying: "You kid, you don't look at the time of playing, you have to come out to play when it's about to rain, it seems that you will be sent to school next year...... Yo, Long Yu is also there. ”
"Auntie." Luo Longyu hurriedly shouted.
The woman looked at Luo Longyu's expression was obviously a little unnatural, and subconsciously pulled her child to her side, as if Luo Longyu had some infectious disease, and squeezed out a smile and said: "Long Yu, don't play too late, hurry home, the village chief is looking for you." As he spoke, he couldn't help but pull his child away.
Before they walked out of the cave, Luo Longyu vaguely heard the woman whispering: "How many times have I told you, don't play with that child, his family has an infectious disease."
"I think Long Yu is fine." The little friend said puzzled.
The woman slapped her friend on the back of the head and scolded angrily: "You keep your mouth slap again, go back and let your dad clean you up!"
Watching his little friend and his mother disappear on the mountain road in the light rain, Luo Longyu slowly sat down, remembered his little friend's words, and muttered to himself: "Grandpa is dead...... Grandpa is gone...... "For some reason, Luo Longyu's young heart suddenly ached, and he felt a panic, grandpa is gone, grandpa will never come back.
Luo Longyu, who had a sluggish face, walked on the muddy mountain road, letting the rain wet his thin body, he didn't know how many times he had fallen, at this moment his mind was full of grandfather, and he had become a child that no one wanted.
Unconsciously, he walked to the door of the village chief's house, the small wooden door was closed, since the death of his grandfather, the village chief took him in, but for some reason, the village chief's wife was very disgusted with himself, just like those adults in the village.
Luo Longyu stretched out his hand and was about to push the door, but at this moment, a noise came from the house.
"You really want to go find that little monster, I can't figure it out, what kind of ecstasy soup did Old Man Luo pour you, you don't know about the infectious disease in his family? The whole family is dead! Do you want our family to die! This is the voice of the village elder's wife.
"You wretched! Can you speak, Long Yu is so small, you can't bear to let the child fend for himself? Your heart was eaten by a dog, isn't it, go and go! Stay inside, and then talk nonsense and beat you! The roar of the village chief's grandfather came.
Listening to the noise inside, Luo Longyu's mud-stained little face showed a hint of gloom, and the hand that was about to push the door was slowly put down, and he turned his head and walked into the rain, but where could such a young child go?
With his feelings, Luo Longyu came to his former home, the original dilapidated earthen house has now become a dangerous house, the locked small wooden door has been damaged because of the tilt of the wall, revealing a gap wide of one person, and the inside is black, like the devil's mouth, for every child, this kind of black is terrifying.
However, Luo Longyu did not feel fear at this time, but had a kind of kindness, he walked into the house, touched the room by the faint light that penetrated from the tattered roof, and curled up on the kang that had sunken, he still remembered that he used to like to jump around on the kang every time he went to bed, and his grandfather looked at himself with a smile, and sometimes he would sew clothes for himself by the light.
Whenever in winter, this kang is always burned warm by grandpa, lying in the quilt is a little hot, every time I sleep, I am on all fours, grandpa will often cover himself with a quilt......
The more Xiao Longyu thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and he couldn't help but cry, and kept shouting: "Grandpa...... Grandfather...... Where are you, where are you...... Long Yu misses you so much......"
In the dark, Xiao Longyu's low cry became weaker and weaker, heartbreaking, in a daze, Xiao Longyu saw a beam of light, and his grandfather's thin figure appeared, and slowly picked himself up......
