I was in a state of euphoria all night, lying on the musty bed, unable to sleep for a long time. I fell asleep in the middle of the night and had all kinds of dreams, dreaming that Luo Dajin had discovered my intentions, and that my parents had received a message from me and came here to look for me.

When the sky was bright, there was a knock at the door, and Luo Dajin was called away. I also woke up, my head was a little dizzy, and after washing my face with water, I was much more sober.

I waited until it was bright outside, and there was the sound of gunfire outside, so I stuck the rattle in my clothes, and took a bundle of tobacco on the living room table in my hand, and cautiously walked out of the door, and quietly closed the door.

I was bitten by a vicious dog on the heel of my right foot, and although I rested for three days, it still affected my walking. I limped to the ancestral hall, it was still early, and I didn't see strangers entering the village on the way.

When they arrived at the ancestral hall, the gate was closed, and the night watchman was dumb and had not yet risen. I was not in a hurry, I put the tobacco by my side, and sat on the side, overlooking the entrance of the village.

After waiting for more than half an hour, I heard movement in the ancestral hall. I walked to the door of the ancestral hall, knocked heavily on the door, and shouted as I knocked, "Uncle mute, Uncle mute, I'm bringing you tobacco." ”

Soon, the door opened from the inside. The dumb man stood in the doorway, grinning and giggling, his face full of carefree and happy smiles, and he gestured with his hands to lead me into the ancestral hall to sit down.

I remembered that night, thirteen old ghosts had gathered here, and some of them were so apprehensive that they didn't want to go in, so they just handed the cigarette to me: "Uncle dumb, I'm ...... Abba asked me to give you the tobacco, saying that there are a lot of outsiders today, so let you take care of me. ”

The dumb nodded, mmmmm He wasn't tall, but he had a lot of strength, and I couldn't break free, so I had to follow him in.

The ancestral hall in the daytime is brightly lit and not as eerie as at night. The pictures on both sides are very different and unique, and they have their own characteristics. The mute snorted and pulled a chair for me to sit down first, while he ran back into the room.

I remembered that a few days ago I had kowtowed here and that there were names written on the spiritual table, so I stood up and walked to the shrine to see what was written on the spiritual table.

The dense spiritual seat was crowded with small shrines, and each wooden plaque was painted with black paint and wrapped with red cloth, so it was impossible to see what words were written in the middle of the spiritual table. Only by leaning on the nearest spiritual position on the side, you can see part of the text clearly, and the owner should be called "Luo Doudou".

I laughed, and said to myself that the name was interesting.

When I was looking, I only heard a pop, and a red and white striped red snake poked out from the edge of the shrine, the letter was very long, and you could see tiny fangs, and the head was triangular, which should be a poisonous snake.

I hurriedly stepped back and stepped directly into my chair. The red serpent slipped down from the shrine and serpented on the floor, more than a meter long. I shouted, "Uncle dumb, there are snakes, there are snakes......"

The mute ran out of the back room with a handful full of sweets, and with a loud shout, the red snake changed direction, climbed back to the shrine, and finally hung himself on a beam.

The dumb man is not an ordinary character, and using him to guard the ancestral hall should be extraordinary. The mute walked up to me and yelled twice at the red basilisk hanging from the eaves, and I could hear that he was reprimanding the red snake.

I said, "Uncle dumb, it's joking with me, don't reprimand it." The mute barked twice at the red snake, then turned to look at me and handed me the candy in both hands.

I shook my head: "Uncle dumb, I can't eat more sugar, eating sugar is not good for my teeth." The mute snorted, a little unhappy. I had to grab three: "I only need three, I can't eat too much, you can eat the rest by yourself." ”

When the mute saw that I had taken three, he smiled again, put the rest of the candy in his pocket, peeled one of it and put it in his mouth, and was very happy. After coming to Heihuazhai, I was worried all day long, and my dumb smile really made me relax a lot.

I also tore open a hard candy and held it in my mouth: "It's so sweet!" The dumb man jumped up and applauded, laughed again, and I laughed along. When I say it's really sweet, I say it from the bottom of my heart, these days are too bitter and too difficult.

After the mute invited me to eat sugar, he began to make his own breakfast, and there was a simple kitchen next to the ancestral hall for him to use. I was waiting for him in the ancestral hall, and the red snake hung from the eaves, motionless.

I knew that the red snake was poisonous, so I didn't move and sat obediently in the chair. The dumb man put rice noodles on top of it, and poured steamed bacon on it, and also served me a bowl.

I asked curiously, "Uncle Dumb, that red snake has fangs, aren't you afraid that it will bite you?" The dumb man shook his head and shouted at the eaves, and the red snake climbed down from the eaves, and finally obediently stopped at his feet.

I smiled: "Uncle Dumb, you are so powerful, you can tame the powerful poisonous snake here." If only I were half as good as you. When the dumb man heard my praise, he was overjoyed, and he bent down and stretched out his hand, and the red serpent was wrapped around his hand.

The dumb man glanced at me and shook the red snake in his hand again. I was stunned for a moment: "Uncle, are you me touching the red snake?" ”

The dumb man nodded violently, gesturing with his other hand, telling me not to worry, the red snake would not bite me.

I hesitated for a moment before reaching out and tentatively touching the red snake's body. Its body was cold, without a trace of temperature. When I touched it, the red snake's head moved, and the dumb reached out and patted it on the head.

I couldn't help laughing: "Uncle, others are scared to death when they see snakes." But you have healed them well, and I admire you. ”

When the dumb man heard the praise, his head lifted slightly, and he was very happy. The red snake took a beat, and slipped away unhappily. After I had breakfast with the mute, I heard the sound of firecrackers outside, and the sound of suona also sounded.

I fidgeted a little and said, "Uncle, there's a guest coming." Otherwise, let's take a look. My Abba told me to follow you, not an inch. You're going to take good care of me......"

I can't go out alone, I have to convince the dumb to go with me, so that Luo Dajin won't doubt me.

The dumb man nodded, put away the dishes and chopsticks, closed the door of the ancestral hall, and walked out of the ancestral hall with me. The dumb man was very happy, and he made comparisons along the way, told me who the house was passing by, and introduced me to the customs and customs of Heihuazhai, and I could only understand about one-third of the content.

Soon, I arrived at Luo Youdao's house. His house was dilapidated, one of those old-fashioned adobe houses, with many roof tiles turned over, and a gust of wind could blow it across it.

The mourning hall was built in the open space in front of the dilapidated house, with branches of broken bamboo, pines and cypresses, and black and white homespun cloths, and long couplets written on both sides.

In another place where the guests were resting, there were a lot of outsiders I hadn't seen before, they were dressed like the people of Heihuazhai, and Luo Dajin was among them, talking to them.

Luo Dajin is over there, and I won't go over for a while. The dumb man was so excited to see so many people. In addition to these people, I also tried hard to find Fang Xiaoyuan's figure. It's a pity that I searched for a long time, but I didn't see Fang Xiaoyuan.

I wanted to ask the dumb man, but I was afraid that he would tell Luo Dajin, so I had to give up. The dumb man found a chair to sit on, and I had to sit next to him with him. When I sat down with the mute, a few frolicking children in the stockade quietly followed.

There was a bold boy who pinched a handful of mud and threw it hard, hitting the dumb man in the head. The boy also grimaced and sang, "Dumb dumb, fool fool." ”

After the leading boy sang, the others sang along: dumb dumb, fool fool. The kids sang and laughed at the mute and called him a fool.

The dumb man was hit on the head, and the whole person almost fell off the chair, and some dirt was even more pasted on his forehead. I stood up at the same time as the mute. I glared at them viciously and shouted, "Uncle Dumb, they are scolding you!" We used to beat them. The mute touched his forehead and giggled, not angry at all.

The group of children sang again: Luo Jiu Luo Jiu, fool friend, kill dogs today, kill people tomorrow. The last line they sang was a satire on me for killing Luo Youdao's vicious dog, and forcing him to hang himself.

I scolded, fuck the eighteenth generation of your little turtle grandchildren.
