Chapter 3 I'm not afraid of owls crying I'm afraid of owls laughing
People in rural areas generally rest early, especially the elderly. About 9 o'clock, Granny Huang walked into the room, as for whether she fell asleep or not, I and the fat man did not know, but the sound of sighing came from time to time in the room, I think Granny Huang was not sleeping peacefully.
It was about the middle of the night when there was a loud knock on the door outside the house. When the fat man and I opened our hazy eyes and ran out, we saw a drunken young man walking in with a large bag of things.
Granny Huang walked out of the room before us, and the door was also opened by Granny Huang for the young man.
"My son, you're finally back, where did you go to drink in the middle of the night. Come, put down some things first, and my mother will put water in the water and give you a bath. "This young man should be Chen Biao, the son of Granny Huang. As soon as she saw him, Granny Huang's eyes moistened, and she shed two lines of tears, very excited.
"Don't be here Rory, don't be so long-winded, you don't care where I go. Don't you always say that Lao Tzu spends all his days drinking and not doing his job? I'm telling you, Lao Tzu has money now, and he has money! Chen Biao's attitude was not very good, but he scolded Granny Huang.
With a bang, Chen Biao threw the burden on his back on the table. Drunk, he shook his body, pounded with his hands for a long time, and spread out his baggage.
In an instant, a large pile of banknotes and gold and silver jewelry and other things came into everyone's sight. Chen Biao didn't seem to care, he took out a handful of drunk and smoked at random, threw it on Granny Huang's body vigorously, and scolded with a mouthful of wine: "Take it, this is what Lao Tzu won." ”
After speaking, Chen Biao packed up the remaining money and jewelry, and was ready to go out of the house drunk.
Chen Biao's departure frightened Granny Huang. She hurriedly ran up, crying, and hugged Chen Biao's thigh to prevent him from leaving. But Chen Biao didn't seem to appreciate it, scolded and kicked Granny Huang away, spitted, and scolded viciously: "Get out of your mother, don't hinder Lao Tzu from being happy." ”
"Merry you sister! You scumbag, do you treat your mother like this? Before the fat man moved, I kicked Chen Biao's body hard.
With a bang, my gentle kick actually kicked Chen Biao and rolled out like a crawl, and even I felt incredible with such a strong force.
Look at his sallow face, you don't need to look at it to know that he has been hollowed out by wine. Such a person, even if he is not hacked to death, may die on a woman's belly sooner or later.
"Thief boy, you dare to move Brother Biao!" Chen Biao cursed, picked up the nail rake at the door in a daze, and nailed it towards me. In a flash, the nail rake was snatched by the fat man who rushed over. Then the fat man slapped him again and threw him out.
Although Chen Biao was drunk, he also seemed to realize that the two of us were not easy to mess with. Three steps and one turn turned around, and fled in embarrassment with the half bag of money on his back.
I picked up the nail rake on the ground, and I planned to catch up and teach this unfilial son a hard lesson. Who knows, Granny Huang suddenly hugged my thigh, and while not letting me chase Chen Biao, she also cried and begged me to let Chen Biao go and not hurt her child.
Granny Huang cried like this, so frightened that the fat man and I hurriedly helped her into the house.
"Mother-in-law, such an unfilial son is not worth your crying! should be pulled and shot" After helping Granny Huang to sit firmly, I still scolded Chen Biao angrily.
Granny Huang was in tears, still excusing Chen Biao, she wiped her tears, and said sadly: "Don't blame him, don't blame my son, it's all my fault, I will give him whatever he wants since I was a child." I only cared about satisfying him, but I never told him what was right and what was wrong. never told him to be a man on the right path and to make money to make serious money. ”
In Granny Huang's crying, the fat man and I roughly understood their family background. It seems that when Chen Biao was very young, his father left and returned to the West.
Granny Huang has loved this child since she was a child, what do you want to give? developed the bad habit of Chen Biaoyi opening his hands and opening his mouth when he eats. Later, Chen Biao gradually grew up. Looking at the rich children's fine clothes and food, my heart is unbalanced. also compared with them all day long, and asked Granny Huang for money with his open hand.
But Granny Huang was originally a poor family, how could she compare with those rich families. So, Chen Biao, who couldn't be satisfied, began to scold his mother, and did stealing chickens and dogs for money.
After growing up, Chen Biao's temperament was even worse, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, everything was complete, and he didn't go home for a year and a half at every turn. And when I get home, I always have some scars on my body inexplicably.
As a mother, how can you not worry! But the son repeatedly refuses to listen, what can the mother do!
Granny Huang kept crying like this, and her sad appearance broke me from the fat man's liver and intestines. The pile of banknotes on the table was like a pile of waste paper, and for the mother, this pile of paper for wiping her butt would never be as good as her son.
I think I should do something with the fat man. After all, it was the two of us who beat Chen Biao away.
After helping Granny Huang into the house, I went out to the door of the room, and I immediately quietly pushed the fat man: "Lao Wang, let's go and get Chen Biao back." ”
Without thinking about it, the fat man immediately responded: "Okay" It seems that I am not the only one who has this idea.
The fat man and I lightly closed the wooden door of the tiled house, and took advantage of the slightly whitish moonlight to go out.
"Lao Wang, there are some banknotes scattered on the ground, I think they should have been thrown by Chen Biao when he fled in a hurry, let's follow this road to find it." I picked up a bill on the ground and said to the fat man next to me
Unexpectedly, the fat man suddenly frowned and shook his head gently, solemnly and inexplicably.
"Haisheng, I always feel a bad premonition, as if something is going to happen!" The fat man stopped, and covered his heart
"You're too worried, what will happen if you find someone!" I think he's making a bit of a fuss, even though we cultivators have spiritual awareness. I have a subtle sense of what is coming, but when it comes to spiritual awareness, I think I am much better than a fat man. There was no way he could have sensed it, and I didn't feel it.
"I hope so......" The fat man was still not very reassured.
"Hee-hee-hee-hee......-hee" Just as the fat man's words fell, a strange laugh suddenly filled the air. This burst of laughter was strange and sloppy, and it made me feel hairy from the bottom of my heart. I followed the source of the laughter and found it in a tall old banyan tree.
The owner of the voice was a gray-brown owl perched on the branches of a banyan tree, its eyes squinted and its feathers shivering.
No matter how you look at it, this owl feels like it's laughing, and it's trembling with laughter.
The fat man and I glanced at each other, and we both saw the heaviness on each other's faces. If you are not afraid of an owl crying, you are afraid of an owl laughing, which is a well-known proverb in the countryside.
This is not superstition, and in today's technologically advanced society, this phenomenon has been fully scientifically explained.
The owl's organs are more sensitive than those of ordinary people, and whenever someone dies nearby, the owl's body will secrete a liquid that affects the owl's senses and makes him giggle.
Subconsciously, the fat man and I quickened our pace and began to run on the dark village road.
When we ran to the head of the village with all our might, we saw a figure lying on the side of the village on the side of the road from a distance, and when we turned over the back of the corpse, Hao Ran found that the owner was Chen Biao, who had just been beaten away by us.
At this moment, Chen Biao had become a cold corpse, there was no breath on his nose, and the burden full of banknotes and jewels was gone. When I first saw him as a cold corpse, I thought he had been murdered for money.
But when I looked down. My eyes widened instantly, and I screamed in panic due to excessive fear, and I took several steps backwards in a row.
Why? Why is this happening, Chen Biao was still a living person half an hour ago. Why did he collapse under the banyan tree at the head of the village half an hour later, and why was his stomach empty, his intestines and kidneys were all gone, and only a deflated skin was left.
And also...... His reproductive organs are gone!
