Chapter 2: Sacrificing to the Child

In such a scene, our father and son were stunned, the fishing boat driven by my mother was just fishing on the Zijiang River, and there was no gold, silver and jewelry on the boat, how could it attract robbers?

The father relieved from his surprise, squatted down to take a closer look at the fishing boat, and found that although there was nothing left on the fishing boat, on the upper side of the hull of the fishing boat, there were many scratches inexplicably, like something sharp, and the whole fishing boat was rowed, and there were some traces of devastation.

The strange traces on the fishing boat made my father very uneasy, and even if he called the villagers to come, he searched all the way along the Zijiang River, and drove a boat to search on the river. After a large-scale search for several days, there was no trace of my mother, as if she had disappeared out of thin air.

For this reason, many people in the village have discussed this, saying that the reason why my mother can't find anyone must have encountered an accident! The most convincing one is that some people speculate that it was my mother who was in the storm that day, because she didn't have time to go back to the shore to take shelter, and people were blown into the Zijiang River by the wind and waves, and even her fishing boat was overturned, so when the boat was blown to the shore by the waves, nothing was left.

In order to verify whether the mother sank into the water, the father spent a lot of money to find professional diving and salvage personnel from the city to search for the bottom of the Zijiang River, but he could not find the mother's body. The people in the village persuaded my father that my mother must have drowned, and the body washed into the sea with the river, so that my father would set up a tomb for my mother to bury, but my father resolutely refused to accept that my mother was dead, and I had to endure my grief and shoulder the burden of the family instead of my mother.

Soon after my mother's disappearance, the situation at home changed a lot, my father was silent, and my own body also had a strange disease, that is, my whole body would emit an unpleasant fishy smell, just like the fish in the river, which made people feel very uncomfortable when they smelled it.

As I grew older, the smell became stronger and stronger, and my father tried all kinds of ways to do this, tried a lot of herbs unilaterally to no avail, took me to many big hospitals, and saw many experts and professors, all of whom said that they were helpless about it.

I hate this strange disease, no matter how I take a shower and apply shower gel, I can't get rid of the fishy smell, like a plague god, disgusting, living in a state of isolation and not being approached, and suffering from the cynicism of others in front of and behind me.

When I was eight years old, I was treated as an "alien" by other children, and was often rejected by them, especially Huzi, the child of the village chief's family, who often bullied me because he was tall and tall.

I remember one time, Huzi felt tired of playing ordinary children's games, so he took a stick and pulled a pile of dog shit, and asked me to draw a few cat whiskers on his face, which made the other children scream excitedly, and they all shouted for me to do it, all wanting to see my face, which was stained with dog shit.

"You can't do that, Resurrection!"

When all the children instigated me, only Tingting asked me not to do it, she even knocked off the shit stick in my hand, put her little hand on her waist, and said to Huzi and other children confidently, "Usually he suffers when he plays with us, and now you still bully him like this!" ”

Although Tingting didn't let Huzi bully me, Huzi was the child king of the village, and he glared at me fiercely and said that if I didn't do this, he would beat me up! Tingting stood in front of me when she heard this, stretched out her hand to block the tiger for me, and the tiger strode forward, and pushed Tingting to the ground as soon as he pushed Tingting to the ground, Tingting gasped in pain, but shouted at me: "Ah, you go back to life!" ”

Huzi came up to me, grabbed the stick and was about to wipe it on my face, and at that moment I had a strong thought in my heart that I couldn't let him paint the shit on my face! I will never tolerate such humiliation!

When Huzi was about to approach me, I kicked him hard, and this kick happened to kick Huzi in the stomach, kicking him out several meters and falling to the ground! The shit also fell on his head, and the tiger curled up on the ground and screamed in pain, and spat out a large pool of disgusting green vomit from his mouth.

I kicked the "feat" of the tiger just now, which made the other children dumbfounded, and even Tingting couldn't believe that she was startled, and swallowed her saliva with a grunt. In their eyes, I, Gong Fusheng, am just an honest and bullied child, and I am also skinny, how can I have the courage and strength to fight the tiger?

In fact, they don't know that I am honest but have great strength, and I often help my father carry more than 100 catties of fishing boxes from the river, which is as easy as carrying cotton, let alone kicking over the tiger. The rest of the children were scared and ran home, I pulled Tingting who fell to the ground up, she was pushed down by the tiger and her knees were red and swollen, I carefully sent her home to rest, Tingting looked at me in amazement on the way, wanted to say something but couldn't say it.

I kicked the tiger, and his father Gao Chunlin came to the door that night, and I thought I was coming to complain to my father, but Gao Chunlin told my father that it was a thorny and serious problem that plagued our Fuze Village.

Soon after my mother's disappearance, the whole village depends on this Zijiang River, the fishery resources in the river have become more and more scarce, I used to get up at six o'clock in the morning to drive a boat to start work, and I was busy all day until dark, and I could catch hundreds of dozens of catties of various fishing products, but now it has suddenly dropped by more than half, and it will hit the fishery income of our entire Fuze Village.

The people in the village are miserable about this, they have come to our dragon temple to worship the dragon lady, but there is no effect on worshipping down, everyone said it is very strange, it is now the middle of the summer season, it has already passed the spring fishing season, the fishery in the river should be abundant, and there should be no signs of lack of fishing funds. Gao Chunlin, as the head of the village, invited a Yin and Yang gentleman who was proficient in feng shui, and after surveying the situation of the Zijiang River, Mr. Yin and Yang said that it was because of the female dragon king Long Niang in the Zijiang River, because of the unstable mana that caused the feng shui to be unsmooth, so there was a shortage of fishery products. If you want to recover as before, you have to hold a sacrifice for Long Niang to help her recover her mana energy, so that she can bless the abundant fishing products of Zijiang River.

As for the cost of the sacrifice, Gao Chunlin said that he would cover it all, but the Mr. Yin and Yang said that the sacrifice required the cooperation of a young man with strong blood, so the purpose of coming to my house tonight was to hope that I could agree to be a sacrificial boy and complete this sacrificial ceremony.

When my father heard this, he immediately shook his head and vetoed it, saying that I was too young to be a sacrificial boy, and asked Gao Chunlin to find someone else. Gao Chunlin's face immediately sank, so he sent me to the hospital for kicking and wounding Huzi, and my father was surprised when I was seriously injured in heart and lungs, if it wasn't for Gao Chunlin to stop me, I would have almost been beaten.

Gao Chunlin explained that this sacrificial boy was originally made by Huzi, but Huzi was kicked into the hospital by me for treatment, not only was he lying on the bed unable to move, but also spent tens of thousands of medical expenses. The time of the sacrificial ceremony decided by the village was set for the morning after tomorrow, and Huzi was injured and could not be the sacrificial boy, so he could only lie in the hospital to recuperate. In this case, Mr. Yin and Yang once calculated, said that the young people in our village have ordinary qualifications, and except for Huzi, only I, Gong Fusheng, are qualified to be a sacrificial boy.

Gao Chunlin also said that if I can replace Huzi as a boy for the sacrificial ceremony, he will not pursue me for kicking Huzi! This means that Huzi's medical expenses do not need to be borne by our family. On the other hand, looking at the overall situation, the purpose of this sacrificial ceremony organized by our village is to generate a plan for the entire Fuze Village, which is equivalent to helping our own Gong family.

After being told by Gao Chunlin, my father couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he nodded and asked me to agree. However, on the morning of the sacrifice, my father suddenly went against the norm and said that I should not participate in the sacrifice ceremony, and I should not be a sacrifice boy!

I sighed, and asked my father with some puzzlement, this is what I have promised, I can't say that I won't do it, and I just don't do it, right? My father looked at me seriously and said in a deep voice: "Actually, not letting you be a sacrificial boy and resurrected, this is not my attitude, but your mother's meaning!" ”
