Chapter 49: The Earth Dog
After sending away the soldier ghosts, I suddenly felt a sense of loss in my heart, as if I didn't know what I should do, and continued to go south? Or go back to the hospital and continue looking for that thing in the hospital?
After thinking about it, forget it, let's let myself relax tonight, pick up the pig's head meat and peanuts on the ground, and return to their town.
I bought a bottle of wine in a shop in the town, found a bright street lamp, sat down on the side of the road, unscrewed the lid of the wine bottle, and pinched peanuts and pork head meat to eat and drink.
I was lonely and lonely, very homesick, and I thought, drink, I don't want to go home when I'm drunk.
After a while, I was really drunk, and my sleepiness came up, so I stood up under the street lamp, took all the food and wine that was left, and swayed around their town to find a place to sleep. I can't sleep next to the street lamp, not to mention the people coming and going, I still have a lot of money in my schoolbag, and I just bought a new schoolbag today, in case I fall asleep, someone sees my new schoolbag and takes it away, then I will lose more than I gain.
I walked not far along the main road, I found a secluded alley on the side of the road, there are high-rise buildings on both sides, the alley is a cement floor, the ground is quite clean, there is a breeze inside, it is cool and there are no mosquitoes, it is a good place to sleep.
I walked deep into the alley, put my schoolbag on the ground as a pillow, and fell asleep on my schoolbag as soon as I snorted.
The book is short, and I don't know when I sleep, there was a sudden "snort" sound next to my ears, followed by it, I felt that the schoolbag under the head was suddenly pumped away, I suddenly woke up, opened my eyes and looked, it was not a person who smoked my schoolbag, it was a big earth dog, at this time it was next to me, and the head was drilling into my schoolbag. I've seen a lot of dogs, and there are a lot of them in our village, and they are often chased and bitten when they go to school.
I didn't get up immediately, lay on the ground and quietly raised one foot, and determined that the dog's buttocks were a kick, and the earth dog's attention at this time was all on the schoolbag, and he was caught off guard, and gave me a kick "whoop" and screamed, and jumped up on the spot.
I got up from the ground with my body turned around, and the earth dog turned his head to look at me, picked up his bag and ran, I was immediately furious, roared, stopped, and chased after me.
After chasing a few steps, there was a sudden "bang" sound behind me, which scared me a lot, and when I looked back, I didn't know whose flower pot on the balcony had fallen and just smashed into the place where I was sleeping.
At this time, the dog had already run out of the alley with his schoolbag in his mouth, and I didn't think much about it, so I turned around and continued to chase.
Chased out of the alley, I saw the earth dog running along the road towards the north, I yelled and chased over, I knew what the dog wanted to do with the schoolbag, the pig's head meat that had not been eaten before was put in the schoolbag.
At this time, there was no one on the road, only two rows of street lights were on, and the earth dog was running quite fast, and I couldn't catch it with all my strength in the back, and I saw that it was getting farther and farther away from me, and my heart suddenly became anxious. At this time, a big truck came on the road in front of the dog, the lights of the truck were particularly bright, and the sound was particularly loud, the dog was probably scared of the truck, dropped the schoolbag and twisted his body, and got into an alley next to him, I was immediately relieved, and after the truck passed, I ran to the schoolbag, picked up the schoolbag from the ground, opened it, and breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, I didn't lose anything, I reached out and took out the pig's head meat in the schoolbag, picked up my arm and shook it vigorously, and threw it into the alley where the dog ran into. If it weren't for this dog, I'd probably have smashed the flower pot that fell from the upper floor to death by now.
The schoolbag was on my back, and I was completely sleepy at this time, and when I looked up at the sky, I didn't know what time it was, and it was estimated that it was at least the second half of the night.
Standing there and looking around blankly, my heart said, where should I go now? That alley can't go back, the flower pot just now, I don't know if it's a coincidence or someone deliberately, but, even if it's a coincidence, I have to think that someone did it on purpose now, and then I warned myself in my heart that I can't relax myself so casually in the future.
At this time, the black shadow flashed in the alley, and the local dog jumped out of the alley with the pig's head meat in its mouth, as if he had done something wrong, he didn't even dare to look at me, and fled in a hurry, I looked at its fleeing back and smiled.
Aimlessly, he walked south again, and soon walked out of the town. When the day was almost dawn, not far from my right, there was a river, a river running north-south, and when I came to the river, I saw that the water was quite clear, washed my face, and then continued to walk south along the river.
There are quite a few villages along the river, and when the day is bright, I came to a town shop, and the town is called River Town. It's been all these years, and I don't remember a few of the places I have visited in the past, but for me at that time, it didn't matter what their names were, what mattered was whether I could get food there.
In this town, I couldn't find a seller of steamed buns, I bought a few baked cakes, and bought a few bottles of mineral water, after eating the baked cakes and drinking the water, I actually came up sleepy, but at this time, I had an idea in my heart, I had an accident at night, it is better to sleep during the day, rush at night, the probability of having an accident with my eyes open at night will be much lower, and the chance of being killed will be reduced a lot if I find a place with more people to sleep during the day.
At this time, the time is about seven o'clock in the morning, there are many bicycles to work on the road, there are also some old people who exercise in the morning, the river before, from their town crossing, the river is planted with weeping willow trees, next to the willow tree is a stone paved path, the old people are on the path of morning exercise, some walk on the stones, some trot back and forth along the path, I found a slightly larger willow tree on the side of the road, put the schoolbag under the tree, lay on the ground and fell asleep, and just fell asleep, I was woken up in a daze, "Hey." Wake up, wake up, wake up ......"
I opened my eyes and saw that the two old ladies were probably also here for morning exercises, and one of the old ladies saw me open their eyes and said, "Whose child are you, don't go to school and sleep here?" ”
I sat up from the floor and rubbed my eyes, and casually replied, "It's Sunday, I don't have to go to school." ”
The two old ladies suddenly said in unison: "Who are you fooling, it's Monday today." ”
I was stunned for a moment, but I didn't want to entangle with the two old ladies, so I got up from the ground, picked up my schoolbag and walked south, and the old lady's shout came from behind me, "Hey, where are you going, the school is in the north!" ”
I didn't look back, and said, "My school is in the south......
I didn't stop breathing, I went out all the way, and as I went, I thought, it seems that it is not possible to sleep in a crowded place, and I have to find a secluded place, and then I left their town, and found a big tree on the side of the road outside the town, and fell asleep under the tree again.
On this day, I don't know what's going on, I'm particularly sleepy, I guess I was scared by the flower pot last night, I'm afraid to think about it, the place where the flower pot fell, just enough to hit my head.
At noon, I woke up for a short while, took out the baked cakes and water, ate and drank a little, lay down and continued to sleep, until the evening, I was woken up by a cry, opened my eyes and looked, and suddenly scared me a lot, I saw that the dirt road around me, like a sheep, was full of people, and one by one was wearing white clothes, and some of them were holding mourning sticks, I didn't react for a while, thinking that I was out of my body again.
After his head was completely sober, he took a closer look, and he was suddenly relieved, whose family died and went out of the funeral. At that time, cremation had been implemented throughout the country, and burials were no longer allowed, but there were countermeasures under the policy, and if the burial was not allowed to be buried at night, it was much better than in previous years. At that time, the purpose of the state to implement cremation seemed to be to prevent extravagance and waste, but for us rural people, cremation in the crematorium was more expensive than fucking and extravagance.
I hurriedly got up from the ground, rubbed my eyes, we all have a habit there, if there is a red and white thing, they like to stand on the side of the road to watch, the more lively the better, if there are fewer people to watch, it means that the popularity of this family is not good, the white thing is to see the coffin out of the funeral, and the red thing is to see the bride get out of the car and enter the door.
I slung my bag on my back and stood on the side of the road and looked stupidly. There is a way, insiders look at the doorway, laymen look at the liveliness, I looked, the deceased lying in the coffin should be an old man over 90 years old, and he is also a man. Because what, in the funeral procession, there are a few sixty or seventy-year-old people walking in the front, in fact, the oldest one is carrying a willow branch on his shoulder, this should be the eldest son, looking at least seventy years old, seven or eight forty or fifty-year-old people follow behind a few old people, these should be grandchildren, and a few children, all with red cloth filial piety strips on their heads, this is the great-grandchildren's. Sons and grandchildren have white cloth filial piety strips on their heads, great-grandchildren have yellow cloth filial piety strips, and great-grandchildren's grandchildren, that is, grandsons' grandsons, are red cloth filial piety strips. If the deceased is not very old, it is impossible to have a great-great-grandchild. Why do you say, the coffin is lying in a man, in the many wreath paper folds, I didn't see the paper cow, if the death is an old woman, there is definitely a cow in the paper fold, said that the woman washed clothes and cooked before her death, polluted water is too much, after arriving over there, the cattle instead of drinking dirty water, if there is no cattle, you have to drink, even if the children are not filial, and then animals, after the death of the mother, even if there is no paper fold, there will be a cow.
The old man's graveyard is not far from where I am, and I turned a corner directly to the east, where there is a sloping land, there are no crops around, and there are several dirt bags on the slope, like an ancestral grave.
After the funeral procession passed, I was not very sleepy, I dressed up my clothes and schoolbag, continued to walk south along the road, and went out for two or three miles, my stomach was actually a little hungry, I reached into the schoolbag and touched it, there was only a bottle of mineral water left, the baked cakes had been eaten, I drank a few sips of water, and walked out of a distance, and my stomach was even more hungry.
I saw that this was not good, I had to find something to eat, and I looked into the distance ahead, it was very desolate, and I couldn't see any light, and I guess I had to walk a long way to find the village or the town store. I thought, there is still one night, and I can't go hungry. In the end, I went back to the town I had come from, but when I got under the tree where I had slept, something happened.
