The sun is obliquely hanging in the western sky, and the afterglow reflects the green fir forest on the back mountain, and against the background of a withered yellow-gray-brown everywhere around, this small touch of green is more beautiful and eye-catching, still detached and precious.

Tan Qingming led me from the asphalt road to the machine farming road, and walked towards the farm tool factory in the sunset.

Tan Qingming is the young man who stopped me at the school gate last night. He told me that he was Tan Weiming's cousin, who worked in a farm tool factory, and that his cousin Li Zhuqing, who was sick, was a former worker at the grain station, and was at home for a long time due to illness, and lived in the Li family's house next to the farm tool factory. It's about two or three miles from the school, and it takes ten or twenty minutes to walk.

According to Tan Qingming, Li Zhuqing's illness has been two or three years old, and it started after returning from watching a movie in the Xinwu Brigade at night. The main manifestations are either unable to sleep all night, or having nightmares as soon as they sleep, sometimes unable to fall asleep, during the day in a trance of malaise, poor appetite, temper tantrum, unable to do anything, groggy at home all day. Occasionally, when the condition is very bad, he doesn't even recognize his relatives and friends, and he looks a little neurotic, but he is very sober, he doesn't smash things, he doesn't hit people, and he knows everything.

When he first became ill, his appearance was very similar to the situation of Tan Jianjian's brothers and sisters, and because of this, after Liu Deyong and I left, he listened to the introduction of his cousin-in-law Zhang Xiuhe, and then temporarily remembered to ask me to help take a look.

I was in the stage of itching, and I heard him say that there was a possibility of hitting the evil and losing the soul, so I agreed to go and see, and whether it could be cured or not would be decided after meeting someone.

The wound on my left hand has not healed, and it is night, so naturally I will not go with him. I made an appointment to pick me up from school after school this afternoon, and then took me to his cousin Li Zhuqing's house.

Along the way, Tan Qingming told me that Li Zhuqing is the only son in the family, his father Li Yutian is the director of the farm tool factory, and his mother Tan Aixiang works at the timber station.

Some people say that he must have encountered something unclean like this, and the family secretly asked the fairy lady and the master to treat him, but it was also ineffective, and now two or three years have passed, and Li Zhuqing's illness has become the heart disease of his family and their former friends.

The farm tool factory is located on a hill next to the Li family's old house, with a two-meter-high red brick fence surrounding a huge courtyard, and the roar and clanging of machines in it can be heard from afar. The farm tool factory is a district-run enterprise, specializing in the production of new two-person rice threshing machines and plough rakes and other agricultural tools that have just been popularized, and the business is booming. I knew there was such a unit in town, but I had never been here.

Tan Qingming led me around the gate of the farm tool factory, went straight to a small two-story red brick flat-roofed building on the side, and told me that this was the home of his cousin-in-law Li Yutian.

A curly-tailed white-haired earth dog barked in front of the house to warn us, Tan Qingming barked at the white dog, and the white dog wagged the curly tail and stopped barking, looked at me vigilantly, and let out a low bark in his throat, and after I walked by, I came to Tan Qingming's feet and sniffed, following behind. When we entered the door, it was crouching in the doorway, staring straight ahead.

"The water of Wanquan River is clear and clear,

I made a hat to send to the Red Army,

The army loves the people, the people support the army,

Military-civilian unity, family affinity, family affiliation......"

The radio in the room was singing the song "The Water of Wanquan River is Clear and Clear" from the movie "Red Detachment of Women", and a person reclining on the couch seems to be asleep. Tan Qingming called out "Zhuqing", and he jumped up in panic with a "ah".

It was a thin young man in his twenties, with shoulder-length woman-like hair that obscured his little pale face full of horror, and a pair of big blank eyes staring at us for a long time, before he let out a long breath and said in an unkind tone, "Why are you here again?" Which is he? What are you doing with a little guy at home? ”

Tan Qingming replied: "His name is Meng Xianghong, and he is a new friend of mine, so I brought him over to see you."

Li Zhuqing snorted, and said in a somewhat weak voice: "Friend? Hum! What are you going to do at such a young age? He doesn't care about the adults? He doesn't seem to be a good guy either. ”

Tan Qingming said angrily: "Zhuqing, what are you talking about, people are still students, and they go to school in the town."

"In the town? Don't mention school to me, I get a headache when I mention school. ”

Li Zhuqing whispered, very impatient, a little manic, he put his body into the sofa, looking frightened and uneasy.

Tan Qingming explained to me: "Recently, his illness has become more and more serious, and even our brothers, who used to have a very good relationship, don't want to see it. We were also studying in the town when we were your age, and once two gangs of people had a group fight at school, both sides used guns, Zhuqing was frightened and injured, and he still has palpitations, and he doesn't like to hear anyone mention the school, especially when you have gauze wrapped in your hands, and you look injured, which makes him even more irritated. ”

Li Zhuqing held his head in his hands and shouted repeatedly: "Don't say it, don't say it, you guys go quickly, I don't want to see you, I have a headache."

As soon as I entered the door, I stared at Li Zhuqing, and his appearance and reaction reminded me of the idiom "bird with a frightened bow". There was clearly a hint of cold aura on his body, but I couldn't fathom it and couldn't tell it.

Tan Qingming beckoned me to sit down, I nodded, sat on the single sofa on the side, stared at Li Zhuqing who was sitting with his head in his hands, and fell into deep thought for a while.

The radio on the table was still singing, and I couldn't calm down to feel and think, but one thing was for sure, Li Zhuqing did have a problem, but I couldn't see it clearly and couldn't figure it out for a while.

At this time, a decently dressed woman about fifty years old came in outside the door, Tan Qingming stood up and called her aunt, I guess she was Li Zhuqing's mother Tan Aixiang, who worked at the timber station, stood up and called aunt, the woman smiled at me, and asked Tan Qingming: "Get off work so early today?" Your uncle hasn't come back yet? ”

Tan Qingming replied: "I took leave in the afternoon and didn't go to work." He pointed at me again and said, "Auntie, this is Meng Xianghong, who is in junior high school in the town, and I asked him to come over to see my cousin."

Tan Aixiang snorted, cast a puzzled look at me, I smiled at her indifferently, she turned around and went to the cubicle, Tan Jianshe stumbled, I just wanted to stand up and take a look in the yard, and two young people came in outside, one fat and one thin, and the thin one had a shaved head.

Chen Zhuqing raised his head, at this time he seemed to have returned to normal, glanced at them, and said lightly: "Are they all off work?"

The fat man walked to the table, turned on the radio that was still babbling and singing revolutionary modern Peking Opera, and said, "I just got off work, don't come here for a few days, come and sit down." You too, the old cat eats and sleeps at home, sleeps and eats and does not go out to move, good people will hold back their illness, not to mention that your health is not good? ”

Chen Zhuqing said dejectedly: "I'm a fucking waste, Mo Jin, I can't walk a few steps and I'm sweating all over, I can't breathe, what are you going to go out for?" Alas, I also figured it out, this ghost is better to die early, die early and be reborn early, and resolutely be a good person in the next life, never do bad things. ”

The fat man said angrily: "What nonsense? How old are you, you are dead or alive, and you can't be healthy enough to be raised? There is still an afterlife, and you still have a bad life in this life, and you still hope for the next life? Are you superstitious now? ……”

As they spoke, I sat and watched them in silence.

The two of them are about the same age as Tan Jianjian, twenty-five or sixteen years old, fat people with long hair, smiling Maitreya Buddha-like, and a harmonious atmosphere. The bald thin man squinted his small eyes, his face was gloomy, and he looked like a man selling longevity (coffin), as soon as he entered the door, I felt a cold aura on his body, and I couldn't help but look at him a few more times, he felt my gaze, and his small eyes came over, and there was a faint evil breath, and I couldn't help jumping in my heart.

The bald man asked Li Zhuqing, "Which relative of your family is this, as if he has never seen it before?"

Li Zhuqing glanced at me and said, "He is not my relative, he was brought over by Qingming just now......"

As he was talking, Tan Qingming came out and said to the two: "His name is Meng Xianghong, a friend I just made, and he is in junior high school in the town. Don't look at him as young, he has great skills, and he is not afraid to scare you, with your kind of goods, the two together can't stop him from punching. ”

I didn't expect him to introduce me like this, and I was so embarrassed that I stood up and said, "What do I have the ability to do, don't listen to his nonsense, he is taking me!"

The fat man grinned, "We know he likes to brag, but of course we won't believe him." But this guy has always been a bit of a top-eyer, and he doesn't look down on others, so you should have some real skills, otherwise he wouldn't have brought you here. ”

Tan Qingming deliberately sighed and said: "People can't look good, the sea can't fight, you have eyes and don't know Mount Tai." Tell you the fat man, isn't your Lily always bullied by Secretary Li's nephew who is called the chief of security, do you know who single-handedly beat a dozen of them to the point of crying dad and shouting for mercy? ”

The fat man jumped up, stared at me and said, "Is that you?"

This is also an exaggeration. I opened my mouth to explain, but Tan Qingming preemptively said, "Isn't it him, is it you?" He is the apprentice of the famous Xinghua Village Liangshui Master. ”

Then he turned to me and said, "Xianghong, these two are also my good friends, the fat man works in the medicinal herb company, and the bald head works in the grain station. Fat man, you sit down first, my aunt has something to do with Xianghong, and I will come out to talk to you later. ”
