() Zhong Mingfa has had an extra heart since he had this son he got by accident. Zhong Kui, who was working outside and was thinking about being alone at home, whenever he met the generosity of the master's family, he would leave a bite for his son to bring back.
It's also strange to say, the little thing Zhong Kui is not as squeamish as those children who have fathers and mothers, and he rarely gets sick. was at home alone, but instead of having any accidents, he grew up smoothly.
Zhong Kui is a monster in the eyes of others, he likes to play alone and talk to himself alone.
On this day, Zhong Mingfa came back from outside and saw his son squatting under the eaves alone. Under the eaves there is a blue striped stone, and the palm width is built under the eaves for stepping on the feet. The little thing squatted there, staring intently at the blue striped stone in a daze.
"Kid, what are you looking at?"
"Mother-in-law makes money on stones." Twelve-year-old Zhong Kui said, and stretched out his little finger to show Zhong Mingfa.
Zhong Mingfa doesn't need to look to know where there is no mother-in-law at all, isn't it just a blue strip stone? This kid seems to be too lonely, so he talks nonsense.
Zhong Kui saw that his father didn't pay attention to his words, so he didn't leave immediately, but approached the mother-in-law and said, "Mother-in-law, why are you setting up money?" ”
The mother-in-law, who had been bowing her head and not speaking, slowly raised her head to reveal a dead face when Zhong Kui asked, and muttered: "Set up money to measure the blessings and misfortunes." ”
Zhong Mingfa, who was in the house, heard that the child seemed to be talking to someone, so he hurriedly walked out and saw him sitting alone next to the blue strip stone.
"Quill, who did you just talk to?"
Zhong Kui looked at his mother-in-law who was staggering away, retracted his gaze, and said to his father: "Mother-in-law taught me to set up money to measure good fortune and misfortune. ”
"This kid, go back to the house." Zhong Mingfa muttered, looked at the empty courtyard, and said, "Dad will take you out to play in the afternoon." ”
"Oh!"
Zhong Kui went back to the house with his father and brought out a hot meal. Zhong Mingfa took a look, good guy! The earthen bowl is filled with braised carrots from hares that are rarely seen in Pingrì. But he wondered again, this hare meat was a rarity, a hare of the ghost jīng spirit, even they adults couldn't catch it, let alone a twelve-year-old child.
Clamping a chopstick braised hare meat into the mouth with wooden chopsticks, he looked at Zhong Kui with suspicious eyes while chewing and asked, "You~ You made this dish yourself?" ”
"No, they did it for me." Zhong Kui said in an old-fashioned tone. He sat down next to his father on a wooden stool, and did not reach out to eat with wooden chopsticks, but turned a pair of eyes full of aura to look at his father, chewing vegetables and agitating his cheeks.
Zhong Ming put down his chopsticks, wiped a handful of scumbags from his mouth, looked at Zhong Kui in a majestic tone for the first time and said, "Child, although we are poor, what we have is ambition." You can't develop the problem of lying, you little fart kid, who will help you with the hare? ”
Zhong Kui pouted, lowered his head and played with his dirty fingers, and did not answer his father's words.
Faced with a big bowl of fragrant hare meat, Zhong Mingfa, who was hungry, didn't care whether the child lied or not. He thought that it might be someone from the village who secretly hunted a hare and sent it. Because when Zhong Kui was still one year old, some people threw fresh hares and broken leg rods into their homes.
These people who do good deeds may be grateful to him Zhong Mingfa, digging holes and positioning to bring good luck to the deceased's family, they secretly and quietly thank you!
When it comes to digging holes and locating, there is still a certain saying; Cemeteries affect a family, and homes affect a family! Wealth, marriage, children's situation, illness or disaster are all affected by Feng Shui.
But an incident happened in the afternoon that Zhong Mingfa couldn't figure it out.
Zhong Mingfa said to take the child to play, which is a smooth sentence. He's tired all day long, so there's still time to play. Not to mention that for a twelve-year-old child, there is nothing interesting in the mountain village. In the big city, these are all natural scenery, and in the eyes of the natives, it is an ordinary hillside, such as barberry flowers, wild chrysanthemums, etc., including wild birds that fly from afar, snow-white, with a pointed beak, a long neck, and slender legs.
Zhong Mingfa wanted to work, so he took Zhong Kui to a place where he could see from the distance from the work.
There were a lot of small purple sè wildflowers, and he gave the child the task of picking those purple sè flowers, taking them home and putting them in glass bottles, which are usually the kind of soju bottles, which are filled with water and then put wild flowers into the mouth of the bottle to raise.
The houses in the village are sparse and unpacked, because of the remoteness and inconvenient transportation, there is no good way to educate. But in a family with children, it can only be on the side of the children and on the side of the adults. There was too much farm work on the hillside, and the grass grew more lush than the crops, and the villagers who had no choice kept pulling and pulling and wasting their time on the slope over and over again.
There is a reservoir near Zhong Mingfa's house, don't underestimate this reservoir, it is the only source of water for the people and livestock of the whole village. The reservoir relies on the flow of water from rain and mountain springs, which flows into the reservoir and accumulates before drinking.
The water in the reservoir is crystal clear, and due to the age of time, it is not only overgrown with algae plants, but also many fish and shrimp. In their spare time, the half-grown children in the village would cut a bow from the woods at home, and it was a thin bamboo pole, and a hemp rope or something was tied to the bamboo pole, and a fish hook bent with a sewing needle was tied to the hemp rope. A live earthworm hangs on the hook, and you can find a good dish for lunch.
The adults went to work, and the children fished and played by the reservoir. When Zhong Mingfa took Zhong Kui past these children, those older and slightly sensible children quietly pointed and said that the monster was coming.
Zhong Kui didn't know when he was young, but Zhong Mingfa could hear it clearly, he had a calm face, coughed a few times, and stopped chattering for a moment.
Zhong Mingfa was taking a break from work when he suddenly found that the child was gone. This is no better than at home, where he can lock the child in the house with an iron lock. It's the wild, and it's the wild stuff that hides in the woods like wolves. A few years ago, a python was found in the mountains, and a lamb from a neighboring village was swallowed alive!
Thinking of this, Zhong Ming panicked, the child was just twelve years old, and his life was hard. The thin bones are not much bigger than a lamb. If he was really swallowed by a python or something, it would be a matter of his life.
Zhong Mingfa shouted all the way and ran wildly all the way. No child answered him, and no python was seen. When he ran to the entrance of the village, he saw a bunch of people watching something.
Zhong Mingfa's heart tightened, didn't the child fall into the pond and drown? That's why people are watching there.
Zhong Mingfa panted desperately, pushing away those onlookers, after the people retreated. He saw Zhong Kui standing there well, holding a girl in his hand. The girl was covered in **, and she looked a little frightened.
The girl is the daughter of Zhang's sister-in-law's family, and after Zhong Mingfa came home from work, the girl's family brought a basket of potatoes to express their gratitude to Zhong Kui.
Zhong Mingfa wondered, didn't he just see Zhong Kui holding the girl's hand? How can I say thank you? Besides; What can a twelve-year-old do? What's going on?
Under Zhong Mingfa's careful questioning, Zhong Kui said something that made him unbelievable.
