Chapter Seventy-Three: The Cripple
The brain was dizzy at this time, and he didn't react for a while, rubbing his eyes and looking at the two of them again, they looked like they were dressed as officials in ancient times, and they were all holding guys in their hands, one holding a string of iron chains in his hand, and the other holding a bright steel fork in his hand.
I was suddenly excited, turned over and stood up from the ground, looking at the posture of these two people, it seemed that they were coming to arrest me, could it be someone sent by the big fat man? But why are you dressed like this?
I wanted to run, but I surrounded two people on the left and right, and I was afraid that I would pull them by as soon as I took a step, so in order to relax their vigilance, I pretended to be confused and asked, "Are you calling me?" ”
The man with the steel fork said, "That's us, come with us." ”
I hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?" ”
The chained man said, "Go where you need to go." ”
I was stunned, go where I should go, why does this sound so familiar? When I think about it, my grandmother used to tell the ghosts about it.
At this time, my mind cleared up a little, and I asked again, "Who are you, why are you dressed like this?" ”
The man with the chain said, "It doesn't matter what we wear, come with us." ”
Can I go with them, the one with the chain said, come and tie the chain to me, I can't tie them so honestly, dodge to the side, avoid the one with the chain, pounce on the one with the steel fork, push away the guy with the steel fork, and run away.
Suddenly there was a shout from behind him: "Stop! ”
The ghost just stood for you, but I didn't run a few steps, I suddenly felt a pain in my lower back, and when I looked down, the tip of the steel fork came out of my stomach, and the guy with the steel fork saw me running away, and threw the steel fork out, and the steel fork pierced in my back and pierced out from the front belly, and it happened to be in my stomach, and it was suddenly dripping with blood.
I covered my stomach and rolled in the grass nest, and I felt that the inside of this stomach was like fire and like a knife.
Rolling in the grass nest for a while, turning on one side, he spit out "wow", and it was dark, so I felt that all I spit out was black water juice, and then I spit out several mouthfuls in a row, and I took a long breath, feeling a little better in my stomach.
Lifting his spirit, he reached out and touched his waist, but he was stunned, the steel fork was gone, he looked down at his stomach again, and there was no bleeding, and he was fine everywhere on his body, wasn't it still bloody just now.
Reluctantly raised his head and looked around, it was dark and quiet, there was no one, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about the scene just now, it should be a dream.
As soon as he turned over, he lay back in the grass nest, gasping for breath for a while, and his stomach was much better.
Stand up from the grass nest with a strong body, I feel that my body has no strength at all, my hands and feet are weak, my head is still dizzy, look at the sky, there is a crescent moon in the sky, not very bright, look at the moon like this, it should have passed the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15.
Turning my head and looking around, I couldn't tell where it was, but I was still on the barren slope.
I can't stay here any longer, I continued to walk forward, put on my schoolbag, stumbled down the dirt slope, and walked blindly and randomly, but I didn't go far, I felt dizzy and tired, and my eyes were dark, and I actually planted myself in the grass nest, thinking about getting up from the grass nest, but I couldn't get up, I felt that I was very tired, physically and mentally exhausted, and I couldn't close my eyes involuntarily.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind him, "I still want to run!" ”
I looked back and saw that the two officials were chasing me behind me, and I was running forward with my legs lifeless, and I was suddenly confused. He looked down at himself again, the steel fork was gone, and when he looked back again, he was still holding it in the hand of an official behind him.
I couldn't laugh or cry all of a sudden, ***, how could I continue to have the same dream?
The two officials were dressed up, chasing after me, I could only run forward without my life, and I didn't know how far I ran, running and running, a big river suddenly appeared in front of me, and I wanted to run around the road, but it was too late, the two officials blocked up one left and one right, I looked, what should I do?
At this moment, a boat suddenly appeared in the river, and a tall and sturdy old man stood on the boat, who seemed to be a captain, and was waving at me. I looked back again, the two officials were about to catch me, and then look at the appearance of this captain, he is very kind and honest, he should not be a bad person, he gritted his teeth, there is nowhere to run anyway, it is better to try his luck on the boat.
I ran to the river, jumped into the boat, the captain don't look old, his hands and feet are quite sharp, as soon as I jumped on the boat, he immediately pushed the boat to the shore with the long pole in his hand, and pushed the boat into the deep water.
Seeing the boat leave the riverbank, half of the hanging heart was put into the belly, standing on the boat snorting and panting, and a little worried to look at the shore, I saw two guys chasing to the water's edge and stopped, the two guys seemed to be very afraid of water, standing on the riverbank, unwillingly looking at me coldly, but at this time, the boat was already far away from the shore, and they had nothing to do with me.
I turned my head and looked at the captain on the ship, a tall and strong honest old man, also dressed in ancient clothes, I was stunned, I was stunned not by the old man's clothes, but by him, how do you feel a little familiar? I think I've seen it there, but I don't think I've seen it before.
Hurriedly stabilized myself, I asked my father-in-law, "Grandpa, have we met somewhere?" ”
The captain smiled: "We've never met." ”
I said, "Then why do I look at you so familiarly, are we a village?" ”
The captain smiled: "We are not a village, the village where I live is on the edge of the Yellow River, and the village where you live is at the foot of Taihang Mountain, but we are a family......
"What?" I suddenly sat up from the grass nest, dumbfounded, I felt that I was about to schizophrenia, turned my head to look around, where there was water, where there was a boat, I was still in the mess of grass, it was quiet and dark all around, and I was alone or alone.
However, this dream is too real.
I didn't think about who the old man was in my dream, and I got up from the grass nest again, but this time, I obviously felt much better and better, and looked around again.
I remember that I seemed to be coming from the direction on my left, that is, on my left, it should be north, and then I looked around, and after I determined the direction, I turned around and walked towards my right, which should be due south, and I did come from the left-hand direction before.
While walking south, I reached out and took out the pesticide bottle in my school bag, I don't know if it was a psychological effect, at this time I saw this pesticide bottle, my legs trembled, and my stomach was churning, but I was still reluctant to throw it away, I shook the rest of the water inside, unscrewed the lid and poured out all the water, and warned myself in my heart that I would never do such a stupid thing again.
When it was almost dawn, I came to the edge of a village again, and I was hungry again, so I took out the yam eggs and ate them, and I was half full, and my mouth was thirsty again.
Walking around the village, I found two canals, but the canals were dry, there was not a drop of water, no way, and I took out a hard sweet potato, but I bit down a piece and chewed hard in my mouth, hoping to chew out some juice as water to quench my thirst, but the reason why this sweet potato is hard is because it has no juice, and I didn't chew the juice for a long time, and I bit my tongue and bled out, and then I spit out the sweet potato residue and blood in my mouth.
If you suck the blood from your tongue and drink it yourself, it won't quench its thirst, or it's thirsty, what can you do?
Standing at the far end of the village, looking at the village from afar, there must be water in this village, but if I walk into the village, will those people do anything to me? Will there be a big fat man in their village, will there be an old man?
After thinking about it again, anyway, now that I have no money, I have nothing to rob them, but what if they catch me and send me to the "black brick kiln" or something?
Then I went around their village again, and on the east side of their village, I found a garbage pit, which was dark before, so I didn't pay attention to it, but then I found that it seemed that all the garbage in their village seemed to be here.
So, I went to the garbage pit, rummaged left and right, and found me a shabby red autumn coat, and the idea came.
I tore off the two sleeves of the autumn coat, put my right leg through the head of the autumn coat into the red autumn coat, and then used the two torn sleeves to tie the red autumn coat firmly to my leg.
Subsequently, I looked in the garbage heap again, and found a wooden stick, the previous wooden stick had already been lost to me, although this wooden stick is also a meter long with a wrist thickness, but it is much stronger and smoother than the previous one, it is estimated that it may be made of iron drills, hoes and the like.
I rummaged through the garbage heap with a wooden stick, and finally found two mineral water bottles for me, but they were dirty and smelly, so I threw them away again, which was not as good as the pesticide bottles in my school bag.
By this time, it was already completely dawn. With a red autumn coat tied to my legs and a wooden stick in my hand, I limped into their village. In this way, I am not afraid that they will arrest me and send me to the black brick kiln, just think, who wants a cripple who can't work in the black brick kiln.
I limped a short distance through the village when I saw the gate of a house open, and I limped to the door of the house. When I was young, people often came to the door to ask for food, and I also knew a little bit of the rules for asking for food, and I couldn't go into people's yards if I wanted food, although I didn't want to eat.
Standing at the door of the courtyard with a wooden stick, leaning against the wall of the door, he shouted pitifully to the courtyard, "Uncle and aunt, can you give saliva to drink?" Uncle and aunt, can you give saliva to drink? ”
After shouting a few times, a middle-aged woman in her forties came out of the house, and the woman was stunned when she saw me, and then looked at my "lame" leg, and immediately showed pity on her face, and hurriedly came over to ask me, "Child, what's wrong with you?" ”
I took the pesticide bottle out of my bag and said, "Auntie, can you fill me with a bottle of water to drink, I haven't drunk water for several days." ”
The middle-aged woman hurriedly took the bottle, took it in her hand and looked at it, and said suspiciously: "This, this is a pesticide bottle, right?" ”
I hurriedly said, "I don't know what kind of bottle it is, I picked it up on the road." ”
The middle-aged woman said, "This bottle can't hold water, it will drink the dead." Then he asked me, "Where are you from and how did you come to us?" ”
I replied, "I'm from Xinxiang City, north of the Yellow River, and I'm here to ...... I came here because I was going to school, and I couldn't go back because I robbed someone else of the money. ”
The woman looked at my leg again, looked sympathetic, and asked, "What's the matter with your leg?" ”
I said, "Fall...... I fell a little, probably broke, and it hurt all the time. ”
The woman's eyes were suddenly full of sympathy, sighed, raised her hand and threw the pesticide bottle to the side of the road, and said, "This bottle can't hold water, you wait for Ang." ”
After the woman finished speaking, she turned around and went back to the house, and after a while, she came out with a worn-out water bottle, which was the kind of green military water bottle, and it looked like it had been some years, and the color on the water bottle had faded, and the woman handed the water bottle to me, "Take it and drink it." ”
I took the kettle, and the water in it was still hot, and I couldn't take care of it so much, so I craned my neck and drank it, and the woman shouted, "Slow down, be careful of the scalding." ”
It's really hot, but I can still bear it, I drank most of the pot in one breath, the woman looked at me and asked me, "I still have steamed buns at home, do you want them?" ”
"To ......"
When I said the word "want", I almost burst into tears.
