Chapter 13: A Young Man Under the Scorching Sun

It was my first summer vacation in junior high school.

The sun burns the earth mercilessly.

It's as if as soon as you go out, you will be sun-dried of all the water in your body.

In such weather, everything will find a place to escape the heat.

The rat goes into the burrow, and the cat pounces on the cat's nest.

The two grandfathers were afraid that I would suffer from heat stroke while studying at home, so they spent a lot of money to buy an air conditioner.

But I never felt the coolness of the air conditioner.

During the day, I had to go to cram school, leaving early and returning late.

When I got home in the evening, I had to practice in the courtyard under the supervision of my second grandfather.

By the time everything was over and I could go back to bed, it was already late at night.

In the words of the two grandfathers, the night in the village is cold, I can't blow the air conditioner, and I am prone to colds.

If it weren't for my grandfather, I would have burned their beards while they were sleeping.

"You just blow it, who in our village doesn't know, although you are not afraid of the sky and the earth, you are afraid of your second grandfather."

"I still remember last year's New Year, you had to blow up cow dung with a scrubbing cannon, and you were all over your body."

"Good fellow, those thirty nights were beaten all over the village, and the screaming was like killing pigs."

At noon under the scorching sun, the little fat man Liu Chong sat under the willow tree by the river and was talking to the calm water.

Seeing that no one reacted for a long time, he stood up and walked to the water's edge with a puzzled face.

"Third brother?"

Just when he was wondering, I jumped out of the water like a hibiscus out of the water.

I beckoned a handful of river water to my body: "It's still comfortable in the water." ”

I beckoned to Liu Chong: "Let's go down and bubble together, see you're almost hot." ”

Liu Chong hurriedly shook his head, saying that he had hit the water.

"What are you afraid of, with your third brother here, will something happen?"

I patted my chest, but Liu Chong still had no intention of coming down.

"I don't understand you, your house is the first to install air conditioning in our village, and you finally have a half-day vacation, why don't you go back to blow the air conditioner?"

"And I remember that your second grandfather didn't give you the water either."

I glanced at Liu Chong disdainfully: "If he doesn't give it to me, I won't give it to me?" ”

"Besides, I have to be forced to practice when I go home, and I'm annoyed to death."

"Third brother, you said that you practice every day, you are tired to death, can you really catch ghosts and suppress ghosts like in the movie?"

"Of course you can!"

I replied without thinking.

Growing up, the first word I knew was the word 'Dao'.

The second grandfather is a well-known Mr. Yin and Yang.

Even if he is no longer in the business of yin and yang.

Nor has anyone ever questioned his abilities.

And every three or five days, some people with luxury cars come to the door to ask for help.

Even if the second grandfather turns these people away, these people will not give up.

All these things show that the second grandfather has real skills, and what he taught me is naturally the same.

"I don't believe it, unless you do me a favor, third brother."

I looked at the little fat man in front of me in disbelief.

It turned out that he was asking for me, no wonder he avoided me on weekdays, and took the initiative to talk to me after class today.

Not only Liu Chong, but all the children in the village, no one wanted to play with me, let alone say a word to me.

Because I was a well-known yin in the village, I killed many people at birth, including my mother.

If you have more contact with me, you will have bad luck.

So I didn't have any friends since I was a child, and even after school, no one wanted to be my tablemate.

For six years of elementary school, I sat alone in the last corner.

The second grandfather naturally knew about these things, but he couldn't change everyone's opinions, so he simply ignored them.

On the surface, I don't care, but in fact, in my heart, I still hope to have a partner who can pass notes to me in class and go to the toilet together after class.

So after Liu Chong accosted me today, I was very happy in my heart, and subconsciously brought him this small river that belongs to my own paradise.

"What's the busy?"

Walked ashore in front of Liu Chong, shook the droplets of water from his hair and asked.

"Ghost hunting for you?"

Although Liu Chong didn't go into the water, he was already soaking wet.

Sweat dripped down his chin and down the ground.

After a moment's thought, he spoke.

"Actually, it's something about our class Hu Qianqian."

Hu Qianqian?

She is not only our class leader, but also the class flower recognized by everyone.

Hu Qianqian also attended cram school, and after thinking about it carefully, it seems that she hasn't been to class for three days.

"What's wrong with her?"

Liu Chong looked around like a thief.

After making sure that there was no one, he leaned into my ear and said cautiously: "Hu Qianqian, you have hit the evil spirit!" ”

"I also heard that Hu Qianqian was locked in a pig's nest by her parents!"

I asked Liu Chong how he knew, and he told me that he and Hu Qianqian's family were neighbors.

These things were all known by eavesdropping on his parents' chats.

"Third Brother ......"

Liu Chong looked at me with a pleading face: "I...... I don't want to see Hu Qianqian suffered, this hot day...... I ......"

"I'm worried about her!"

Adolescent crushes often come so suddenly.

Although I know that Liu Chong's approach has a purpose.

But classmates, I still agreed to Liu Chong.

I thought to myself, if I can solve this matter, then Liu Chong and I will become true friends.

It's just that I didn't have a packed ticket to solve what Hu Qianqian encountered.

Seeing that I agreed, Liu Chong was overjoyed.

He hugged me and kissed me on the face.

"I'll go! You're disgusting! ”

Looking at Liu Chong with a smile on his face, he didn't know whether there were tears or sweat in his eyes.

We discussed on the spot, and met at the gate of his house at half past twelve in the evening, and he took me into the pig nest of Hu Qianqian's house.

On the way home, I thought that it was inappropriate to do this, so I planned to mention it to my second grandfather first.

If he can be persuaded by me to help out, that's even more certain.

If the second grandfather wants to be unwilling, I will let the grandfather intercede, and it is useless for the grandfather to intercede, so I will go by myself that night.

I made up my mind, but I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Hu Qianqian's parents crying and walking out of my house.

The second grandfather followed behind them, and when he arrived at the door, he said sorry to Hu Qianqian's parents.

"Look, hurry into the house."

The second grandfather's tone towards me was not kind at all.

I thought he was going to ask me why I came back so early today.

Unexpectedly, he said to me with a serious face: "I warn you of one thing, without my permission, you must not use any of the skills I taught you." ”

"If you don't obey, break your legs."

I sighed, thinking in my heart, it's your business to warn, and it's my business to listen or not.

"Second master, that's our squad leader's parents, why are you crying? The class leader hasn't been to class for a few days. ”

The second grandfather stretched out his hand and pointed at me: "Don't inquire, don't meddle." ”

The second grandfather reached out and touched my hair, but he didn't say a word, and pulled out the broom and pointed it at my buttocks.

"Oops!"

"You disobedient thing, how many times have you said don't go into the water, don't go into the water, and take my words as a deaf ear?"

"I'll kill you!"

"Oops! Second master! I was wrong! I was wrong! ”

"Grandpa! Help me! ”
