Volume 1 Spring Bamboo Shoots Chapter 33 Not a New Madness
Today is the great heat, and it has entered the real dog days. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info sunhead fireball hanging in the sky, the blazing light is so bright that people dare not look up, and the lazy insects on the trees have been hoarse. Thanks to the trees on the hill and the large reservoir outside the village, the hot wind carries a hint of cool moisture, and the heat is not unbearable in the morning and evening.
It has been raining heavily since the end of last month, and it has been sunny for almost a month. Many of the crops in the field have been sunburned, and even the sweet potatoes, which are the least afraid of the sun, will wilt to death. The Xiaojiang River has not been cut off, and the late rice in the terraced fields is growing green, which is somewhat gratifying.
I walked barefoot on the muddy ground, and the heat on the ground made me dare not stand for a long time, especially the stone slab on the ground, as soon as my feet were glued, it seemed that I could be burned off a layer of skin, and people jumped up unconsciously. I cursed the hot dead weather and jumped all the way to the docks.
I could hear the shouts of the reservoir from afar, and I quickened my pace and ran to the pier. Looking around, the water splashing in the reservoir by the wharf is not lively, and more than a dozen people led by Huang Shiren and the mountain eagle are divided into two groups, and they are in full swing in the water fight.
Liu Xing's death more than a month ago made the dock cold for a few days, and then it was lively again. After all, in this reservoir, there will be people who are pulled by the dragon lord every year to be guests. The dead are gone, and the living have to live as they should.
I stripped off my shirt and pants, walked to the side a little to avoid their attack, took a deep breath, and with a "plop" of a fish, plunged headlong into the water.
The water on the surface of the reservoir is not cold at all, but a little warm. I dived head-to-head, and the water temperature was noticeably lower and lower as I went deeper, which made me feel very comfortable. I kept my height, pedaled and planed, and dived towards the center. I couldn't hold it back, and I rushed out of the water with a bang, and found that I was almost in the middle of the reservoir.
I reached out and wiped my face, shook the droplets of water on my head, and breathed heavily, indescribably comfortable. From a distance, he watched the two groups of people who were making a lot of trouble, lying on their backs and swimming to the opposite shore.
Playing around was originally my favorite, but this has changed a lot for me. I have too many secrets and things on my mind. I want to stand on a pile to practice, I want to practice magic, and I have to be quiet, and I don't want to be seen and disturbed. The main thing is that I have to take care of the two little weasels secretly.
My friends had a lot of opinions about me, especially the three eagles, who always said some nonsense to me, and I couldn't tell the difference, so I had to dedicate poker, honor cards and chess to them, and the four of them just didn't have to fight, but had fun.
This section is the tail of the reservoir, and the water surface is not wide, and it is only sixty or seventy meters from the pier to the foot of the mountain on the opposite bank. I was so happy that I arrived at a moment, and standing on the waist-deep shore of the shallow water, I was so excited that I tore open my throat and sang:
A great river with wide waves,
The wind blows the rice and flowers on both sides,
My family lives on the shore,
I'm used to hearing the trumpet of the prince,
Accustomed to seeing the white sails on the ship......
The two gangs on the other side stopped the fighting, and except for a few timid ones, the remaining seven or eight people rushed to swim towards me, and for a moment there was a constant sound of "bang bang" and splashing water. Huang Shiren and the mountain eagle went hand in hand, their feet splashing, deliberately waving together, rushing to the front.
I yelled "Hurry up!" Come on! It was so exciting that they rushed forward even more desperately. But after all, the strength is limited, and the follow-up is weak, only halfway to give up the dog planing style, change to side or back swimming, only seven or eight gourd scoops can be seen on the water surface moving, suddenly a lot quieter.
At this moment, diagonally opposite the downstream near the entrance of the village, that is, from the side of our production team in the valley ping, there was a burst of "Stop him!" "Catch him". I looked up and saw a man running quickly to the edge of the ridge near the water in the valley and jumping into the water. Several shirtless men jumped down as well, as if trying to catch the man in front of them.
"What's going on again?" My heart tightened for a moment. Because they were a little far apart, it was impossible to tell who they were, but I could only see many people standing on the edge of the ridge of the sun-grain flat, men and women, shouting loudly, anxious and frightened.
I know that section of the reservoir, under the surface of the water is a gentle slope, the water on the side is only up to the waist of an adult, the deeper you go in the middle, and it looks like it is about two or three feet from the shore before it reaches the top. The person who jumped into the water first desperately rowed forward and pounced, seeing that there was no top, he was dragged out by a few people who caught up behind, and it took a toss to get close to the shore ridge, and was pulled up by the people standing on the ridge one by one, and returned to the sun-grained ping, and several people carried a person with their hands and feet, and entered the village.
I don't know who can't think of finding a short circuit, and I'll hear a story later. I thought to myself.
By the time we were almost back on shore, the story had already begun in the village. It's just not at all the same as I thought.
It turned out that the first person to jump into the reservoir was Zeng Mengchun, the full cub of the fifth team of Mr. Lao Shu. My little uncle at the same table Zeng Xiangkun.
Zeng Mengchun only turned eighteen years old in the first month, a lean and thin young student. I usually don't talk much, and my life is a little yin. After graduating from junior high school, he became a member of the team. Due to his young age and novice, he was only a semi-laborer at first, and he was treated with female members, and most of them were separated from female members when they worked. Last year, he was promoted to a full-time laborer, but when he was working, he still liked to mingle with female members.
In a village, men and women work together, and it is common for them to laugh and laugh. Of course, meat and vegetarian food are not taboo, the more meat the more fun, and even some jokes are very out of line. Everyone is used to it, no one takes it seriously, and no one cares. Zeng Mengchun often mingles with women, so he naturally becomes the object of everyone's teasing.
The young and the young are full of curiosity and desire for the love affair between men and women. According to the women of the fifth team, Zeng Mengchun has always said that he dreams at night and dreams that many fairies come to him and play with him. Everyone makes fun of him for wanting to be a sister and wanting to please a wife, who do you like? Do you want to hire a matchmaker? Zeng Mengchun often blushed and remained silent. Everyone joked and didn't think much about it, after all, he was only eighteen or nineteen years old, and he was still several years away from the legal age of marriage.
This morning, the whole team worked together to fertilize the late rice cultivators. Everyone found that Zeng Mengchun was a little wrong, and he seemed restless all morning, standing on the edge of the field from time to time in a daze, and he didn't say anything when he asked, just grinning at you. When he was approaching the casual worker, he suddenly threw down the fertilizer he was carrying on his shoulders and ran away. The captain of the women, who was behind him at the time, asked him what he was doing, and he said that there were eight fairies waiting for him at the entrance of the village, and he was going to go to heaven with them.
Then they decided that something was wrong with him, and shouted at him to stop, but instead of answering, he ran faster, and everyone put down their farm work and chased after him, and the result was the scene I saw.
Zeng Mengchun jumped into the reservoir to find his eight fairies, and when they pulled him up, he had already filled him with a lot of water. There was a moment of dizziness. As soon as he recovered, he struggled desperately, and his strength was terrifying, and several people couldn't hold it down. Everyone didn't know what was going on with him, so they had to tie him to his house with rope and let him scream and curse.
At this time, the men and women of the team were gathered in his yard, and some people said that he must have fallen into evil in this way, and asked someone to cut down the peach branch and whip it, but it had no effect, and now he was preparing to pour golden soup into his mouth and use extremely filthy things to drive away the evil spirit.
I don't know what the golden soup is, but after listening to the explanation, I realized that it was dung water, and I couldn't help but feel nauseous, and I was even more sad for Zeng Mengchun, who was on the body of the demon. Of course, if this is effective, it can drive away the evil spirit, and it will be worth curing him and saving his life.
The problem is that this is simply a blind ** messing around. Zeng Mengchun's face was so stinky that everyone rolled his eyes, but the demon still hasn't been eliminated. After recovering a little, he cried out louder, saying that he was going to find the fairy, and whoever stopped him from going to the fairy would eat whomever he wanted. Later, he didn't shout anymore, but stared at everyone without saying a word, his eyes seemed to be able to breathe fire, and the evil made people feel cold and didn't dare to look directly.
Mr. Laoshu's wife, Zeng Liu, saw that his son's hands and feet were broken by ropes, and he was so distressed that he was dripping blood. She married into the Zeng family at the age of sixteen and gave birth to nine children in one go, only four of whom grew up, and the rest died at the age of two or three or younger. Zeng Mengchun was her last child when she was forty-one years old, as the saying goes, "the first grandson is full of cubs", and she has always loved this full cub. Seeing her son who was dirty and sitting on a stool, in addition to panting, she seemed to be honest, and while everyone was not in the house, she cried and untied the rope tremblingly.
Zeng Mengchun, who seemed to be quiet, stood up with a sigh of relief, pushed his old mother who was pulling him to the ground, and rushed out of the courtyard amid everyone's screams.
The village suddenly jumped with chickens and dogs, and it took a lot of effort from the boss to subdue him in the courtyard of Jiang Vixen's house. In the process of subduing, the stake for drying clothes in the yard of Jiang Vixen's house was broken, the bamboo pole fell, and the clothes drying on it were trampled on several pieces.
Several people carried him home in a sweaty manner, and tied him up again. Zeng Qingping, his eldest son Zeng Fanxing, and more than a dozen male and female members of the team sat on the steps under the eaves, discussing and discussing, but they couldn't come up with a proposition for a long time.
Some people say that according to Zeng Mengchun's past performance, he wants women to be enchanted, mentally ill, and new crazy.
New madness, also known as peach blossom madness, has an obvious characteristic, that is, the patient's condition is good and bad, when he is sick, he loves to be in the limelight, sings and dances, likes to talk to the opposite sex, and some even take off his clothes and walk naked. When the illness is mild, in addition to being taciturn, not in harmony with the group, being able to eat, sleep, and work, it is no different from ordinary people.
If it is a new insane, there is still salvation, and it can be sent to the regional psychiatric hospital for treatment. There used to be a Xiao madwoman in the neighboring village, her husband worked in the city, rarely came back, it is said that he found a woman in the city, and then went home to divorce her, Xiao Mad did not leave, pulled a few times, the man never returned home, Xiao Mad Po went crazy, laughing and singing and dancing, seeing a man to hug, sometimes stripped and went around.
The man was not at home, no one cared. Her mother's family took her to the district hospital, where she was treated for two or three months, and when she returned, she was cured. Because of the big trouble, the man returned to the countryside after being fired from the unit, but he never mentioned the divorce again, and now he has given birth to children, and he has not heard of a recurrence.
But with Zeng Mengchun's crazy performance, it shouldn't be a new madness. He didn't want to go to find some fairy, and it was even more like he had fallen into evil. Master Yang is gone, and I haven't heard of anyone nearby who will exorcise evil spirits and collect demons? These strange people don't dare to come out, it's really hard to find.
