Chapter 189: The Old Years
"The big family is a single-family three-story building, and when we came to observe it during the day, we found that there was a big black dog in the yard, and it was not tethered. If such a dog gets it, it will be at least three ordinary earth dogs. ”
Li Laodan coughed twice, and a difficult look appeared on his face: "The two of us climbed over the wall and went in, and then threw the puppy in, and shocked the big dog inside with the power of the puppy." But who would have thought that a little girl, not very old, about twelve or thirteen years old, came out of the small building, and she was carrying a kerosene lamp to light the road, and suddenly saw the two of us stealing dogs, and she was very bold, and she threw a stone at us while barking. ”
"I was so frightened that I took the stick in my hand and went to hit the little girl, and the iron stick was pointed, and it immediately cut the girl's face. Her face immediately began to bleed, and the person fell to the ground, and the two of us were frightened, thinking that if we killed the person, we would run away over the wall, and the big black dog would not be gone. ”
"But just now the girl's screaming was so loud that it had already woken up the surrounding villagers, and they were about to block us while copying the guys. We both fought to survive, and I still have the scars on my legs. ”
A trace of remorse appeared in Li Laodan's eyes, and he sighed and continued: "We passed through that time, although that magical puppy was still with us, we were already scared, and we didn't have the courage to steal the dog again. Later, with the capital of stealing dogs, the two of us went to the town to work as hawkers, selling some small commodities to support our families. ”
"That magical dog also stayed with us, there are so many dogs in the whole village, he is like a soil emperor, and the other dogs are afraid of him. But just when we thought it was over, more than ten years later, we met a female customer with a scar on her face, and she came to our stall to buy a hat. At that time, I was horrified when I saw this woman's face, because this person looked too much like the daughter of the three-story family. ”
"I followed the old woman and said that we should go home and avoid it, but the old woman just didn't listen, saying that she couldn't delay making money, and the stall continued to open. And it happened that the stall was not busy during that time, so the two of us took turns to go over to guard. Who knew that one day I was hoeing at home, and I heard someone call out to me, saying that my wife had been beaten in the town. rushed to the town in a panic and saw her lying on the ground vomiting blood, and when I asked, I found out that it was beaten by a middle-aged man, and the girl with a scar on her face was standing next to her. ”
Li Laodan sighed and patted his thigh: "I admit it, people are doing it, the sky is watching, one report is one report." ”
After listening to Li Laodan's story, I also understood the origin of the ghoul dog, and then asked him: "Then did the strange disease on her body start at that time?" ”
Li Laodan nodded.
"Later, I asked around, and finally got a prescription from a barefoot doctor, and then I went up the mountain to collect medicine twice in three days, and I relied on this medicine soup to let my wife live to this day."
After listening to the story, Liu Ruxiang couldn't help but be interested in the middle-aged man who lowered her head, she took off the cloth strips on the old woman's eyes on the bed, and asked her: "I don't remember where there is a head descending master around here, do you remember what that person looks like?" ”
The old woman couldn't remember it either, but remembered that the man was sturdy, dressed in a set of black coarse cloth clothes, and walked with a tiger's style.
Liu Ruxiang thought about it for a while and couldn't remember it.
I had an idea and said, "I can contact some people in the city to inquire about it, and maybe I can find it." ”
Liu Ruxiang shook his head: "There is no point anymore, this head is completely rooted in the human body, even if he comes over himself, he can't cure it." ”
A hint of melancholy appeared on the faces of the old couple.
"We are all people who bury our necks in the loess, so we don't bother Master Liu. Honestly, in fact, the reward for you is my coffin book, and when I turn around, my wife is gone, I will follow, and there is nothing to live, two people share a pair of longevity, just save a pair. ”
After Li Laodan finished the story, he slowly sat on the bed, panting heavily.
In this way, the purpose of our trip has been achieved, at least the head reduction in his wife's body has been removed.
Liu Ruxiang packed up the magic tools and various materials for arranging the magic field, and then turned to Li Laodan and said, "Old man, now that what we need to do has been done, you can tell me how to find that vicious dog." ”
Li Laodan did not hide it and said: "The dog can naturally be found. At that time, after my wife collapsed in bed, no one went to get food for the dog, and sometimes the dog ate the last meal but did not eat, and we did not control it, so the dog ran away to the mountains by itself. ”
Li Laodan's words changed sharply: "However, the kennel is not far from here, on the mountain east of our town, which is the branch of Longming Mountain. Every time I went up the mountain to collect medicine, the dog would follow me from a distance behind the woods, and I was confident that because of this dog, the ghosts and spirits in the mountain were not afraid. ”
I secretly said in my heart, that dog is the best at driving the ghosts, controlling the ghosts and spirits, with that dog to protect you, why would you be afraid.
Li Laodan coughed twice: "Now, I don't want this dog to use it, I heard that it is also harmful, and now it is very good to be able to exchange for Master Liu to come to the rescue." When are you going to go up the mountain to fight the dog, I will take you with me, the dog lives in the cave, and there are several holes, and ordinary people can't see it. ”
Liu Ruxiang thought for a while: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, it's the most suitable time to start today, it's still early, we should be able to come out before the sun goes down." ”
I also obeyed Liu Ruxiang's arrangement, and it happened that tomorrow was Sunday, so even if I was late, I wouldn't delay class, and I had time to write my homework.
Liu Ruxiang went to pack up his things, and told Uncle Peng, who was driving, to go back first, and then take some dry food from the car, and we took water and two lighters, and began to go up the mountain to find the ghoul.
Li Laodan is still a little reluctant at home, let's wait for him for a while.
Then I saw him bring hot water from the kitchen, wash his wife's hair, and wipe his face, hands, and feet.
After washing away the blood stains and decoction stains, the old woman looked more energetic.
Li Laodan finally took two pancakes, and then staggered out of the house with us.
His eyes were red, and bean-sized tears slid down his face.
I looked at him like this, and I really felt the greatness of love.
How rare it is that this old man has taken care of his wife who is paralyzed in bed for so many years, and he can still love his wife all the time.
If it were me, I thought about it and my heart was a little shaken for a while. I hope that I will be such a person in the future.
Li Laodan walked and told the story of their old couple.
Seventy years ago, in the rural area of Shanglin County, a young boy grew up in this village.
The boy only went to elementary school, but he was not interested in school knowledge, and would skip class every day to play poker with a few playmates.
When the boy's father learns that his son is not going to school, he often comes back and beats him. The beaten boy was sobbing and crying, and he walked outside the village, and his father shouted and cursed behind him.
It was on that occasion that he hid behind a large haystack in the next village, and fell asleep crying and crying.
When she awoke, she was greeted by a beautiful young girl, much older than him, about fourteen or fifteen years old.
The girl watched the little boy sleeping in the haystack and asked him all sorts of questions curiously.
The little boy answered the question when he said he wanted to drink water because of his dry mouth.
The girl took the boy back to the house and fetched the boiled tea.
Under the dim kerosene lamps at night, boys and girls are drinking tea and chatting.
The girl had been playing pigweed for a day, and she was so tired that her hair was wet with sweat, and she followed the example of the boy, drinking water with a large bowl.
The girl's gentle face was etched into the boy's mind in the dim orange light, and since then he has been thinking about this beautiful girl almost every day. As soon as I have time, I run to his house every once in a while to play.
But not long after, when he came back from school one day, he ran to the girl's house, and he couldn't find her anymore, but a strange woman.
The boy cried and asked about the girl's family, they said.
The eldest of the family couldn't afford to marry a wife, so he had to change relatives, and the girl had been changed to someone else's house as a daughter-in-law, and the new strange woman was the wife of the girl's eldest brother.
Since then, he has been so badly injured that he has not been able to go to school, working at home, and from time to time he has been chanting the girl's name.
When Li Laodan said this, he was already crying silently.
I rarely see old people crying, because most of them have been tortured and baptized by time, and their hearts are already as solid as a rock, and they can shed tears, which is unexpected to me.
Li Laodan continued: "I grew older a little later, and my family urged me to go on a blind date and get married and have a child. At that time, I was thinking about her, and I couldn't let go, and I didn't even want to marry my wife. ”
"My parents were at a stalemate, and finally waited for good news. One day I heard the news that her husband over there after marrying was a gambler, and he was forced to have a home because of debts. ”
"At that time, I asked my family to gather dozens of catties of food to bring over and exchange her back."
He was afraid that I didn't know how precious those dozens of catties of grain were, so he told me: "In those days, people could starve to death, and everyone had to gnaw tree bark, and dozens of catties of grain were enough to eat, and I was able to eat two people for two months." ”
I was a little shocked in my heart, and at the same time, I also knew the twists and turns of this Li Laodan's emotions.
In this way, an old couple like this is indeed affectionate.
However, Liu Ruxiang has not changed much, and her face is very calm.
"Alright, alright, let's hurry up, don't rub it any longer, hurry up."
