Next Chapter

During the Republic of China, warlords fought and the people were struggling to make a living. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

I came to Peking from Changsha, and due to the embarrassment of life, I did almost everything, pulled a van, scavenged wasteland, worked as a porter, and sang opera. I didn't have money to marry a daughter-in-law, so when the girls saw me, they avoided me.

My last job was playing a clown in a theater and being treated as a joke, I played the clown during the day and lived in a shabby house at night.

One day, when I was hungry, I saw a wild cat in the grass by the roadside, and I wanted to boil it and eat it.

At night, I slept very poorly, I always felt something moving around me, and I listened carefully, but I didn't know what it was. In a daze, in the second half of the night, I finally fell asleep. I had a dream that there was a long line of rats, blowing trumpets and kowtowing to me, making me so beautiful.

One of the leading rats told me that I was their savior, and that they would not have dared to come out if I hadn't tied up the wild cat. I was about to ask them how to thank them if they were going to bring me a lot of gold, when I suddenly woke up and found that it was dawn, and knew that it was a dream, and a sense of loss arose! It was one of the most beautiful dreams I've ever had, and I was almost cramping with laughter.

I was about to wash my face and comb my hair, but I saw a few rats emerging in the room. I thought I was still dreaming, and when I pinched my thigh, it hurt and hurt, and I knew it wasn't a dream. I was very upset, and said abruptly: "Mouse, mouse, what are you doing in my house?" I don't have anything in my house, you're in the wrong place. When I'm a little richer, come back!" When the time comes, good wine and good meat will entertain you. ”

In the evening, when I came back from playing the clown, I suddenly found that there was a smell of meat in the room, and when I looked closely, it turned out that there was a plate of barbecue on the table, and there was a fire in the middle of the room, and meat was roasting on it. I thought, as long as it's not poison, you can eat it. It was a delicious meal, I can't forget it, could it be that the rats made it? Thankful that I killed that feral cat and got some meat from somewhere else? Too lazy to think so much, if you want to die, you have to be a full ghost.

I don't have to worry about food and clothing, I can still sell the barbecue that I can't eat, I have some silver taels on me, I no longer play the clown, no longer be a joke for others. One day, I shuddered and remembered what I was most worried about: Where did all this meat come from? I kept an eye on it, and I got home early, followed the rats, and walked and walked, until I came to a dead man's pit, which was full of dead human flesh, and the rats were carrying the dead human flesh in groups, and I had been eating the dead human flesh for a month.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel sick to my stomach, and I vomited it all out, and I actually vomited out a dead man's finger. I have completely carried it home, my job is gone, and I am not qualified to be regarded as a joke, and in the season of decadence, Young Master Chen came to me.

Young Master Chen is the son of a warlord, about the same age as me, dressed very high-end and elegant, and there is a heroic spirit between his eyebrows. There is a world of difference between me and him, my face is full of dirt, like a scavenger, they are all the same age, how can there be such a big difference in life? But I consoled myself with this: they are all people who do not work hard, and I am the descendant of hard-working people, and my heart is suddenly relieved. Young Master Chen came to me this time, which changed my life, I became him, and I had an addiction to being a young master.

Young Master Chen glanced me up and down, and nodded with satisfaction: "I'll come to you to do something, as long as it is done, I will guarantee that you will eat and drink spicy food, and no longer live in this poor and dilapidated place." ”

Knowing this, I asked him, "Can I eat barbecue?" ”

Young Master Chen smiled: "As long as you want to eat, you can eat at any time." ”

I asked, "Is it okay to drink good wine?" ”

Young Master Chen said: "If you want to talk about fine wine, I have a pot of high-quality daughter red here." He handed it to me, I was hungry, I drank it in one gulp, this wine can be called a jade liquid, I was a little drunk, full of fragrant mouth, I blushed and said, "What is Young Master Chen looking for me?" If you are a little brother, you must go to the soup and go to the fire. ”

Young Master Chen said, "Have you heard of Daxing'anling? There are abundant products, you can eat whatever you want, carry a shotgun out in the morning, and in the evening you can carry back a basket of game, set up a tent there, and live the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, how about you go with me? ”

I wondered, where is not life? Why bother to live this kind of life in Beiping, and you don't know if you have a next meal after eating this meal? If people are extremely hungry, any dreams will return to reality. Besides, Young Master Chen can help me realize the great ideal of drinking wine and eating meat, so I agreed without thinking about it.

So, we took the train to Heilongjiang, and after a long journey, we came to Daxinganling in a few days. In the meantime, I also brought some pens and paper, and I was ready to draw a picture and write a poem in my spare time.

It is located in the northern border area of the motherland, east of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains, west of Hulun Beier League, south of the Songnen Plain, and north of the Russian Silian Bang across the river. It's June, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and everything is growing. There were a total of ten people who went with them, and in addition to me and Young Master Chen, there were eight people. Xiao Liuzi was one of them, he had a dark complexion, a strong body, and a smile showed a mouthful of white teeth.

During the day, we walked smoothly, the weather was fine, and everywhere was lush and forested. A wide variety of trees can be seen, including Korean pine, spruce and walnut. I also saw some wild fruits of mountain vegetables, such as monkey's head, bracken, pine nuts and the like. When we walk in the mountains and forests, we can sometimes see some wild boars, pheasants, deer, etc.

I couldn't help humming a little tune, wondering where to hunt game and where to pitch a tent. There is a tree in front of it, it is very high, I don't know what it is called, if you make a grass hut there, and come together in the morning, there is a pheasant stop at hand, and then a thunderbolt will be struck and it will be slashed at the pheasant, and the pheasant will be turned into a roast chicken.

I took out my pen and ink and drew a picture of a chicken eating rice, and Xiao Liuzi saw it and said, "What are you doing?" Are you here to enjoy the landscape? You'll be happy later. ”

When I heard this, my heart was gloomy for a while, and my heart said, can't you be lazy in your spare time? Why are you so nervous?

Every time Young Master Chen walked, he stopped to look at the map, and after confirming the direction, he continued walking. Young Master Chen was carrying a bag on his shoulder, hanging from his shoulder to his knee, I was a little curious, so I asked, "Young Master Chen, what are you carrying on your shoulder?" It's so heavy, I'll carry it. Who knows, Young Master Chen glared at me, and there was no longer the politeness he had with me before: "I'll do this by myself, I don't need you to carry it." ”

I was a little upset after a closed meal, and thought, whatever it is, I'll just be able to eat game when the time comes.

After walking for a long time, we came to a river, at this time, the sun was setting, the sun was hidden at the end of the woods, Young Master Chen looked up at the sky, and said, "It's not early, let's hurry across the river, try to get to the other side of the river before dark, and set up camp there." ”

The river is not wide, no more than 50 meters by sight, the river water is crystal clear, there are many pebbles in it, many small fish swim in it, the area covered by aquatic plants is an area where fish schools are concentrated, and some are still spitting bubbles in the water.

I asked, "Young Master Chen, isn't there a lot of game here?" Why don't you dot up? Young Master Chen's eyes flickered a little: "The game here is not enough to stuff your teeth, and the game in front is enough for you to eat for a few years." ”

When I saw Young Master Chen's gaze, I felt that something was wrong, the bag he was carrying had a crack in it, and I sighed in my heart, inside the bag was a Hanyang-made repeating rifle, not a shotgun, I understood this very well.

Young Master Chen asked Xiao Liuzi to see how the river was, and Xiao Liuzi reached out to explore the river, and the water temperature was very suitable. After a tiring day, the rest of the people heard that the water was at the right temperature, and they all wanted to take a shower. Young Master Chen hadn't spoken yet, someone had already jumped into the water and sprinkled water on his body, which was very pleasant. From time to time, a breeze blows and schools of fish burrow around us, and the slippery, icy feeling is really good, and they sometimes stick their heads out to enjoy the sunset and the breeze.

I walked in the front, and when I looked to the side, there were some round black patches the size of fingernails in the river, I don't know when they appeared, and the shadows of the trees were projected in the river, and I couldn't see what those black patches were.

The speed at which the fish spit bubble has increased significantly, and it feels a little out of breath. I felt that something was wrong, these black pieces should have been hidden under lotus leaves and aquatic plants just now, and I said to the rest of the people, "Everyone, go away, there is something wrong with this water." ”

Everyone was playing in the water, the splash was very loud, the sound was very loud, I don't know if they heard it, Xiao Liuzi was close to me, glanced at the river, frowned, and was still thinking about something, I said to him: "Go ahead, don't think about it." ”

Xiao Liuzi glanced at me, quickened his pace, and made a splash. I reluctantly glanced back and saw that they were all very comfortable, as if they had smoked marijuana. Suddenly, right next to me, a crucian carp rolled up, spitting out the white of the fish's belly, and its cheeks opened and closed slightly, and it seemed that it was difficult to breathe. It seemed to be very uncomfortable, and when it flicked its tail and turned over, I saw that the side it turned over was densely covered with black flakes, sticking to the belly of the fish. The fish struggled a few times, remained motionless, and turned white. I looked a few meters away, and there were already four or five fish that had turned white, just like the one just now.

I shouted, "There's something unknown underwater, get ashore." Young Master Chen felt that the situation had changed, so he walked towards the shore and shouted as he walked: "Don't rub in, cross the river quickly." ”

When I was still two or three meters away from the opposite bank, I suddenly heard a scream from behind, and when I looked back, there was a person floating on the water, his eyes bulging, his mouth wide open, and almost cracking. There was blood in the corners of his eyes, his whole body was dark red, his belly was cracked, his intestines were floating on the water, and his legs were missing. The rest of the people were stunned when they saw this.

Young Master Chen was shocked, he was a little closer to the opposite bank, and ran desperately towards the opposite bank, not caring about what was happening behind. The rest of the people suddenly tossed like dumplings, the water splashed everywhere, the screams and shouts came and went, and the hundred and ten fish turned white, which was very terrifying. The surface of the water, which had been clear just a moment ago, suddenly became turbid, and many black flakes emerged, like a cloud of black gas enveloping the entire river.

When Young Master Chen was only one step away from the opposite bank, he suddenly stopped there, there was a figure under the water behind him, the figure reached out and grabbed his ankle, Young Master Chen was obviously very annoyed, and kicked the hand a few times, the hand retracted, and Young Master Chen said, "Tell you kid to drag me." After saying that, Young Master Chen ran towards the opposite bank without his life.

I went to the shore, picked up a dead branch on the ground, held one end in my hand, and plunged into the water, and some small black piece climbed up the dead branch. This kind of black piece is quite agile in the water, but not on land, the black piece is like a button, I hold it in my hand with two fingers, its back is more like a beetle, there is a suction cup under the body, which occupies two-thirds of the whole body, and those fish were sucked by this suction cup just now.

The screams in the water changed from loud to small, and finally calmed down, and many innocent lives dissipated, and there were many corpses floating on the water, some face down, some face up, their expressions were very painful, and the exposed parts of their bodies were full of this black flake.

The river flowed gently, and the corpses flowed down the river, and within ten minutes, the whole surface of the river became clear again.
