The Human Realm Chapter 3 The Six Women

"Dongsheng! It's time to go home for dinner! At noon, Liu Laohan stood at the entrance of the village, calling loudly, this is a perennial tradition in the village, whose children have not returned home when they arrive at the meal, just stand on the dam at the head of the village, shout loudly, and the little fart who has played too much will judge whether he can run back before playing and eating slivers before playing and eating slivers in the voice of his family.

"Grandpa, I'm here!" , a swarthy face with a snot, wearing a gray vest (originally white) on the upper body, a pair of dark red shorts on the lower body, and a pair of slippers with messy hair on his feet, ran out of the alley next door, as he ran, the snot also swayed in the wind, like a pendulum of the pendulum over the head, the little fart ran fast, and ran to his grandfather's side, the hanging snot was all pasted on his cheeks because the brakes were too fast, "Ouch hey, Dongsheng, look at your snot!" Liu Laohan took advantage of the situation to use his calloused hands to remove the snot on Dongsheng's face, and then wiped it on Dongsheng's vest.

"Grandpa, it hurts, your hand hurts me!" Dong Sheng frowned, let out a painful cry, and then grabbed the corner of Liu Laohan's dark blue coat wrapped in pulp, and blew his nose, "Ah! Comfortable. Dongsheng, who cleared his nose after blowing his nose, made a sound of satisfaction.

"Hey, hey, hey" Liu Laohan's face was wrinkled like old bark, and he wrinkled even more because of his laughter, like a blooming daisy, "Let's go for a walk, go home for dinner." ”

"Mm-hmm, okay." Dongsheng responded, and took his grandfather's hand and walked towards the Liu family's courtyard, Liu Laohan rubbed the snot on the corner of his clothes into his hands as he walked, and then rubbed it on the passing trees, well, keeping clothes clean is the basic code of conduct of the village party secretary.

After lunch, the grandfather and grandson lay on the chair, Liu Laohan smashed and smoked after dinner, Dongsheng lay there and looked up at the sky outside the door in a daze, maybe in a few minutes, he will be from the state of eating and drinking, automatically enter the state of lunch break, as if remembering something important, Dongsheng resisted the invasion of sleepiness, raised his arm with all his strength, stretched out his index finger, poked into his nostrils, carefully and dexterously pulled a circle, and deducted a large lump of dry and wet snot, like a pilgrimage, Cautiously afraid that this lump of snot would fall to the ground, he then stretched his fingers under the table and gently rubbed it to the bottom of the table, "Whew~", Dongsheng exhaled relaxedly, Liu Laohan rolled his eyes while smoking, and he didn't see what this little kid did.

Dongsheng returned to the state of about to enter the lunch break, half-asleep and half-awake, Dongsheng muttered in his mouth: "Grandpa, when did you say that Mom and Dad will come back to see me, I haven't seen them for a long time, and I don't know how they are outside." ”

"It's coming, it's coming, it's going to be back in a while, and I'll be back for the New Year." Liu Laohan said softly with relief.

"Okay" didn't get the answer he wanted, Dongsheng soon fell asleep, Liu Laohan looked at the child and sighed, Dongsheng's parents Liu Chen and his wife, because of Mrs. Chen and Dongsheng's affairs, were hit hard, halfway Dongsheng's mother also went back to the Chen family, and wanted to ask Mrs. Chen about the bloodline of the Chen family, Chen Da is also desperate, his daughter closed the door directly, and scolded Chen Yan in the house, and finally Chen Yan only cried and returned to Liu's house, and then Liu Chen and his wife combined, Thinking of the strange events that happened in Ebony Mountain before, he decided to go to other provinces to work hard for a few years, earn more money and strive to buy a house in the town, and then Dongsheng went directly to the town to study, so the couple entrusted Dongsheng to Liu Laohan, these years Liu Laohan was a father and a mother and a grandfather and a milk, a and urine, and finally pulled Dongsheng to the age of going to elementary school, you have to ask why you didn't go to kindergarten, and there is no tradition of kindergarten in the countryside.

The nap in childhood is pleasant, it does not have the exhaustion caused by heavy schoolwork, nor the depression and collapse of the race against time in adulthood, it is so pure, you can sleep when you want, you don't have to care how long you sleep, and you don't care about anything unpleasant that will happen after waking up, because in childhood, we just need to grow up healthy.

Dongsheng had a dream, he rarely dreamed, every time he dreamed, he would remember it very clearly, this time was no exception, he dreamed that he was walking on a path paved with chicken legs, Dongsheng's favorite food is chicken legs, because when he was a child, his grandfather asked him where he liked to eat chicken, and he said that he would always say chicken legs loudly! So every time he eats chicken, Dongsheng's bowl will always put a chicken leg in advance, the road is full of chicken legs, filling Dongsheng's small pupils, he sat down with his left hand and his right hand, and ate it directly, when he was showing off his chicken legs, a vague figure appeared at the end of the path, and she called softly: "Dongsheng, come to grandma, grandma will take you to eat something more delicious." ”

"Grandma?" Dong Sheng thought silently in his heart. Familiar and unfamiliar name, familiar because every time grandpa does something, he will talk about what grandma will do in front of Dongsheng, strange because Dongsheng has never seen his grandmother, just listened to the playmates in the village talked, from the words they listened to grandparents tell the appearance of grandma, Dongsheng's grandma is a well-known crooked woman who is very fierce, thinking of this Dongsheng shook his head, directly ignored the voice, buried his head and continued to gnaw on the chicken legs, his mouth gnawed his hands and did not stop, and he couldn't hold it with two hands, He carried it around in his gray vest, thinking of taking it back to his grandfather to taste, and the chicken thighs here were better than those made by his grandfather.

"Dongsheng, Dongsheng! Dongga ~ cough cough cough", Xu shouted for a long time, the figure at the end of the path shouted for a long time, saw that Dongsheng did not react, patronized and ate chicken legs, it was inevitable that he was a little impatient, shouted a few times in a row, accidentally stuck his throat and eyes, and made a duck call, Dongsheng felt that he was almost eating, holding the chicken leg in his arms, and was about to go back, the vague figure saw him going back, and couldn't help but be anxious, and said fiercely: "You little rabbit cub, you know how to eat except for eating, and you don't even recognize your milk, look at how your milk cleans you up today." As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of white powder from his pocket, but the figure didn't walk on the path, as if he had any concern for the path, and threw the powder at Dong Sheng, who had seen this formation, "Give it back to you!" He threw out the chicken leg in his arms, and with a cry in his mouth, he pulled out his leg and ran.

The powder was thrown in the air, as if there was no wind automatically, and a cloud of mist quickly formed to cover Dongsheng, saying that it was too late and that was fast, the fog had flown to the top of Dongsheng's head, and Dongsheng was still running regardless of it, and he didn't see that the fog was coming, "Whew!" The fog that rolled the whirlpool covered Dongsheng, Dongsheng involuntarily inhaled the powder, and his consciousness fell asleep in an instant, and the fog also rolled up the whirlpool and took Dongsheng to fly low towards the blurred figure, "Hehehehe, let your little ghost be as slippery, and drink the old woman's footwashing water!" The figure said triumphantly.

When the mist came to the figure, a hand full of wrinkled skin and as thin as a chicken's claw was about to reach out to the winter birth.

"Dead chicken woman, so daring!" A loud shout appeared in this space, red as blood and as hot as a heart, the sky was covered with bright red, a firewood knife flew towards the chicken claw at high speed, if the chicken claw insisted on grasping Dongsheng, it would be broken today to break bones and claws! "Boom! …… Boom! …… Boom! Bursts of drums with clear rhythms echoed through the space, and cracks filled the sky, as if they could not bear the weight.

"Ah——!h In the face of this scene, the owner of the chicken paw let out a miserable scream, jumped into the air, and went away at a rapid speed along the crack in the sky, with a trace of blood floating behind him, and the fog wrapped in Dongsheng began to slowly dissipate because he lost the source of power, and the world was collapsing, and the path under Dongsheng's feet began to break, if there was no accident, Dongsheng should fall down and sink into the sea of the subconscious, and if he was lucky to find the exit and wake up immediately, he was unlucky to be in a coma in bed for a few months.

A calloused black and strong big hand, gently caught Dongsheng, the big hand stretched out from a hot bright red light, and then lightly brought Dongsheng into it, in the small courtyard of the Liu family, Liu Laohan looked at the sleeping Dongsheng and breathed a sigh of relief, just relaxed brows couldn't help frowning, got up and came to the courtyard, closed the door with his backhand, Liu Laohan turned around and sat on the threshold, looked at the rickety figure in the courtyard, a chicken nest messy hair, unkempt face that could not be seen clearly, a ragged dress, The skin like chicken skin was covered with large and small abscesses, and there was a black broken sack hanging from the back, and the chicken claws scratched the exposed abscesses from time to time, "Hmph! Liu Laohan snorted disdainfully.

The pickled figure, hearing the humming, couldn't help but tremble, took a step back, but the cold voice sounded not to be outdone: "It seems that Liu Sanye's majesty has not diminished back then, but don't forget, our Chen family is not weak, or do you mean that you are a noble person who forgets things, and you need the little ones to remind you, how did your brother die?" Or do you want to involve your only brother and your shitty children, or else? Seeing her like this, Liu Laohan stood up, blocked her gaze, took a step out, and saw the disgusting thing retreating, his whole body trembled like a dustpan, and he couldn't help laughing: "You don't care about my business, don't take an example of Dongsheng's matter, if you commit it again, you will have to wait for it and there will be no return!" ”

"If it weren't for my sister's disappearance, how could I provoke you!" The old man retorted.

"I don't know much about Youqing, but it has nothing to do with Dongsheng, he's just an ordinary greedy child, you confirmed it just now." Liu Laohan responded.

The old man was silent for a moment, and said in a cold voice: "You are right about this, there is one more question ......,"

"Chen Youhong, this is the last question!" Liu Laohan interrupted.

"Okay." After the old woman named Chen Youhong agreed, she thought about it and said, "Will you teach him?" After speaking, he kept silent and waited for Liu Laohan's answer.

Liu Laohan lowered his eyes slightly and said: "Inherited until my generation, this is set by Old Man Liu, and I will naturally not disobey it." Saying that, Liu Laohan took a puff of cigarette, and then said: "Moreover, Dongsheng has his own life, he was born in an era of peace, he doesn't need anyone to decide his life, and he doesn't need to give his life for anyone, my greatest hope is that he lives his life carefree." ”

"Giggles", Chen Youhong couldn't help but let out a hen-like laugh when she heard it, and it wasn't until Liu Laohan looked at her with murderous eyes that she stopped in moderation, "In that case, I won't bother anymore, so don't let it go." After speaking, the body like dead wood deftly climbed over the wall of the Liu family's courtyard and disappeared into the thick night.

Liu Laohan looked at the direction in which Chen Youhong disappeared, and muttered in his mouth: "I hope you can also keep your promises, the sixth wife of the Chen family." After speaking, "Huh~" spit a mouthful of thick phlegm into the mud next to him, "What a fucking bad luck!" With a curse, he turned and went back to the back room.
