The old village chief told us that because there had been an incident of wild dogs hurting people in the village, Tougouzi Village stopped raising dogs later. шщш.(vii) (ix) x.S.сом The update is so fast. The only place to keep dogs is in the eastern part of the village, in the small supermarket next to the national highway. Because it is close to the national highway, there are a lot of vehicles coming and going, and naturally there will be all kinds of "color" ~ "color" people.

And in this group of people, maybe there will be a vicious robber. So getting a dog to keep yourself safe is a necessary thing. The old village chief told us that the owner of this supermarket is named Zhang Ke, and he has a big wolf dog that is almost 1.8 meters tall when a person stands up. If there are any dogs in Tougouzi Village, this is the only one.

If not, it must not have been bitten by a dog in Tougouzi Village.

However, judging from the 'traffic' situation, the murderer is not in Tougouzi Village, but must be near Tougouzi Village.

The old village chief said: "It's already noon, and if we want to investigate the supermarket, we have to do it as soon as possible." I'm afraid it's going to be dark when I come and go, and I'm afraid it's going to snow heavily at night. ”

At the end, the old village chief looked at us again and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to go back in the next few days." ”

Listening to the words of the old village chief, I also looked up at the gray 'cloud' and 'cloud' sky. The thick clouds indicate that there is too much moisture in it, and this heavy snow is not far away. At this moment, there is really a feeling of black clouds crushing the city, and the surrounding environment also gives people a feeling of depression.

I always had a strange feeling in my heart, and I always felt that the village as a whole gave people a 'gloomy' feeling.

I exhaled a few breaths of hot air into the palms of my hands, and my red hands finally felt the slightest heat. I waved my hand and said to everyone: "Then let's go, it seems that we are going to live in Tougouzi Village in the past few days, and by the way, we will go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities, warm gloves or something." ”

Guan Zengbin's face was red from the cold, and she was still holding that arm at the moment: "Then put this arm in a refrigerated environment first." ”

The old village chief placed this arm in a sloping cellar and led us to the supermarket in the east.

As the old village chief took it out, there were a few pairs of worn-out gloves: "I'm sorry, you see that you have been here for so long, and I haven't even noticed this." Bring it with you, go to the supermarket and buy some new pairs, buy some groceries, and put them on my account. ”

It was estimated that it would take more than an hour to walk all the way to the east, and we chatted all the way on the way.

I asked, "Old village chief, why are there so many disabled people in this village, and are there any people who are not disabled?" Is it possible that at a certain age, those who do not have disabilities automatically leave the village and go somewhere else?"

The old village chief shook his head and said slowly: "Judging from the current situation, the village is not without normal people. The ratio of normal people to disabled people should be seven to three, which should be about the same. For example, Sun Kangning's father is a normal person. His child was born with a disability and was born with only one arm, as you all know. Outside, Sun Kangning is different from others. Sun Kangning's father didn't want Sun Kangning to face other people's strange eyes, so he came to live in our village. ”

I nodded, and then asked, "Does it mean that the residents in this village are not necessarily all Tougou villagers?"

The old village chief pointed back to a house in the distance and said, "I also told you that there are not many other things in this village, but more than houses. Even if there are 100 more people, they can live. Since the 80s of the last century, healthy people have gradually moved out of this village, and more and more disabled people live here. ”

"It's also kind of interesting. Gu Chen couldn't help but say at this time: "It's obviously inconvenient, but they are all willing to live together, and I don't know who can take care of whom." ”

The old village chief couldn't see Gu Chen pushing him behind him, and naturally he couldn't see the expression on Gu Chen's face.

However, the old village chief still sighed and said, "I have read a little story in the newspaper, and I will tell you now." Once, on the bus bus, an old man came up. The old man stood in front of a young man, but the young man didn't seem to see the old man, and he didn't mean to give up his seat at all. ”

Gu Chen nodded and said, "Now the quality of some young people is poor, and it is our traditional virtue to give up their seats to the elderly. ”

The old village chief smiled, as if waiting for Gu Chen's words, he continued to tell us: "Yes, the rest of the people on the bus also said the same thing. Everyone joined the team of solidarity with the old man and the crusade against ~ the young man. The young man's face was flushed when he was said, and he quickly stood up and gave up his seat. ”

The old village chief seems to have something to say, and it should not be just a question of whether to give up his seat or not.

I heard the old village chief continue: "But these people did not give up, so the young man was forced to get out of the car halfway. The young man walked back to the house alone, sat down in a chair, and pulled up his 'trousers' and 'legs', which were a prosthetic leg. It turned out that the young man was a disabled person, but he didn't defend himself along the way. ”

Hearing this, Gu Chen said again: "If you are old, weak, sick and disabled, you should show it to others." If the young man had made the situation clear, it would not have caused such an embarrassing situation. ”

The old village chief shook his head and said slowly: "But when the young man returned home, he laughed, and he was really happy. Gu Chen, do you know why he is happy?"

"Happy?" Gu Chen obviously couldn't understand what the old village chief said, and he asked suspiciously: "How can you still be happy? If you are misunderstood, you should feel lost and angry." ”

The old village chief waved his hand and said, "He is just happy, not lost and angry." That's how we differ from you, because we see the world from different perspectives. Did you know that what a person with a disability fears most is not discrimination, but sympathy?"

The old village chief's tone was very slow: "Sympathy is the most real feeling that comes from the bottom of my heart. It was a feeling from the bottom of my heart that he was different from me, and that kind of real 'revealed' feelings couldn't deceive people. This young man was misunderstood and abused, but he laughed because no one saw that he was different. ”

We were silent, no one spoke.

At this time, the old village chief continued to tell us: "People are social animals, different from others, which is the biggest denial of oneself. So the healthy people moved out, and the disabled moved in. Because with the gradual increase in the number of disabled people, healthy people feel that they are abnormal, understand?"

We nodded.

"So in this village, just like Sun Kangning saw, you are abnormal people. The old village chief smiled: "You said that if Sun Kangning never leaves this Tougouzi Village for the rest of his life, he will be a normal person for the rest of his life." But if you have seen the outside world, Sun Kangning is an alternative. ”

I suddenly remembered a sentence that Team Leader Shao often said, sometimes, the reason why people are unhappy is because they know too much. It's like a citizen of a country who can't see the outside world for the rest of his life, but he thinks that his country is the happiest country in the world.

But can we say that they are not happy? What they feel in their hearts may be the original meaning of happiness. In a world where everyone is asleep, being a sober person is a painful thing. Maybe dying in a dream is the life that ordinary people are willing to live.

Captain Zhou heard the words of the old village chief, and said with some emotion: "Yes, in different environments, there are different views of right and wrong, different world views. What is normal and what is not?"

As he spoke, Captain Zhou revealed a kind of helplessness and sadness.

"So there are more and more disabled people in this village. The old village chief said: "Many people know that there is such a village in Yumu City, so they have come to settle here. Of course, whether they are normal people or physically handicapped people, there are people who have left the village and lived a different life from the people here. ”

As we went to the supermarket on the east side, we listened to the old village chief.

After listening to the story of the old village chief, I had an indescribable sour feeling in my heart, and I guess the rest of the people are like this. Sometimes different people see different worlds, just like for 'colorblindness', they can't see our colorful world.

After that, the old village chief looked back at me and said, "So most of the time, don't guess. The eyes are likely to deceive others, especially for the police, and it is impossible to guess. ”

Then the old village chief twisted his head back and said no more.

When he said this, the old village chief's eyes seemed to be full of ~ too many things, as if he wanted to tell me something. And this sentence itself is more profound, and it seems to be something in the words. But I don't know if the old village chief just sighed, or because of some other reason.

Along the way, everyone did not speak again, but walked quickly to the supermarket.

At almost three ~ o'clock in the afternoon, we finally came to the end of this road and finally saw the small supermarket. The supermarket does not look very large, and the area is estimated to be a hundred square meters.

From the outside of the supermarket, the skin of the wall has peeled off, revealing the gray cement inside. Small advertisements and certification telephones are posted on the wall, and they are still faintly visible. A sign pulled out of plastic sheeting is pasted on the wall - the second small supermarket.

This kind of detail is enough to show that this supermarket has been a little old, and it is estimated that it has been in business for more than ten years or even decades.

The supermarket is on one side of the road, and then outside is a north-south national highway, and there is not a single car on the road now. But when you think about it, the snowfall has increased dramatically these days, and it is estimated that no one will choose to travel by car in such bad weather. Even if there is, it is estimated that it is very few.

The old village chief pointed to the second small supermarket and said, "The one who runs the supermarket is called Zhang Ke, we all call him the second small, and only he has a wolf dog." ”
