Chen Kui did indeed take me elsewhere as he promised me.
The two of us were just wandering around the village, planning to hang out until seven o'clock in the evening.
But when we two children were wandering around, we suddenly heard a strange scream, and we couldn't tell what it came from. It sounds like the sound is still a little far away from us.
"Shi Bai, did you hear anything?" Chen Kui asked.
"No." I denied.
At the same time, I subconsciously touched the scales under my collarbone. I felt a little relieved when I saw that the scales were as white as usual and there was no burning sensation.
"You really didn't hear it?" Chen Kui continued: "But I clearly heard it just now..."
But this time, before Chen Kui finished speaking, the strange scream came again.
This time it was louder and clearer than before.
"Shi Bai, it's impossible that you haven't heard it this time, right?" Chen Kui touched my arm: "We have nothing to do anyway, so why not go take a look. If you encounter any rare game, let us know If your parents come to catch you, you can sell them for money."
At that time, in addition to farming, many rural people also hunted game to sell in towns.
Our family used to rely on Huang Pizi and foxes, who often brought game meat, and sold many hares and pheasants.
but……
"Let's forget it, it's just a fool's errand. What if it's not the sound of game but something like that." I hesitated.
After experiencing the events of Er Zhuang Ma and Li Shufen, I was already convinced that there were ghosts in this world.
But I have experienced Chen Kui but not.
"Shi Bai, don't be so superstitious at your young age. We just have a look. If there's any problem, we'll run away." Chen Kui spoke again.
My attitude was still very resolute: "You can go if you want, but I won't go anyway."
Fortunately, Chen Kui didn't insist and finally listened to me.
But neither of us went, but we saw another person seeming to go in the direction where we heard the sound.
From a distance, we couldn't see clearly who that person was.
When Chen Kui saw this, he just clapped his hands and sighed: "Shi Bai, it's up to you to see what I say. A good opportunity has been missed."
"I'm still hoping to find rare game, so that I can make up for it."
I knew that Chen Kui was eager to find game this time just to make up for his ranking last in the exam.
"Okay, you will study hard and listen carefully from now on. Isn't it better than finding these things?" I patted his shoulder and said, "It's almost time. Let's go back quickly. Otherwise, grandpa and my parents should I’m anxious.”
Even if it took so long to tell the truth to my family, they should be angry.
Chen Kui looked up and saw that the sky was completely dark and said, "Okay, Shi Bai, thank you for today."
And I didn't need to say thank you. Before I could finish speaking, I heard a shout.
The sound was so loud that it startled Chen Kui and I. But after reacting, we both rushed over immediately.
Because after a shout, a groan of "Ouch" also came.
It's obvious that something happened to someone.
When Chen Kui and I heard the news and rushed there, we found that this was indeed the case.
Someone really fell, but...
"Uncle Zhao!" Chen Kui was a boy and ran faster, so he ran to the fallen person first.
"It's you, the demon fetus." When Uncle Zhao saw me, he pointed at me angrily and cursed, "You killed my son, his wife, and his family when the demon fetus was born, and now you want to harm me, an old man?"
"It's true that good people don't live long, but evil people live for thousands of years!"
If other people scold me like this, I will definitely not swallow my anger, or at least I will scold me a few times.
But it was Uncle Zhao who scolded me, so I felt embarrassed.
Because his life was very difficult, and he lost his wife at a young age. When old age comes, people with white hair give gifts to people with black hair. Not only were his only son and wife dead, but his grandson, who was only five years old at the time, also died.
Although the flood on the day I was born caused many people in the village to have trouble.
But there is still no one like Uncle Zhao whose whole family is dead and he is the only one left.
"Uncle Zhao, don't get too excited. We'll pull you up first." Chen Kui, of course, knew what was going on, so he hurriedly persuaded him.
I looked at Uncle Zhao who was stuck in the ditch and said with great sympathy: "Yes, Uncle Zhao, please calm down first. Let's rescue you from here first."
It was probably because it really hurt, or maybe it was just in the dark and there was no one else around.
So Uncle Zhao finally nodded: "Okay, you guys can do it. But even if you save me, I won't be grateful to you. Because if it weren't for you, my son, daughter-in-law, and my family wouldn't leave."
"Okay, Uncle Zhao, you are right, let's get up quickly and then talk about it, okay?"
No matter how strong Chen Kui and I are, we are still only eight or nine-year-old children, so we couldn't pull Uncle Zhao up even though we tried our best.
But there is no one else around right now, so at this time we can only hope that Uncle Zhao will use his own strength.
Uncle Zhao obviously understood this truth, so he soon began to cooperate with us in our efforts.
"Yes, that's it, Uncle Zhao, there's still one last chance left." I shouted loudly.
Chen Kui also held back his energy, his little face turned red.
But just when we thought we were about to succeed, there was a sudden "click".
Uncle Zhao probably slipped because it was dark, or he was anxious to climb up.
As a result of this slip, not only did the person fail to climb up, but he fell heavily to the ground with a "dong" sound.
Now Uncle Zhao seemed unable to get up, and his old face turned pale from the fall.
Chen Kui and I were both horrified when we saw this scene.
Fortunately, Uncle Zhao soon came to his senses, pointed at me and cursed again: "Demon fetus, you dead demon fetus just want to kill me, the old man."
"You damn thing, you want to eradicate the root of this!"
Uncle Zhao didn't know whether he was in pain or extremely angry, but he continued to curse and curse.
Fortunately, we made too much noise here, so we attracted a lot of people nearby.
The adults came and worked together to rescue Uncle Zhao quickly.
But when he came up, he rushed over immediately. He gave me a slap in the face without hesitation. At the same time, he cursed and said: "Demon fetus, you harmful person!"
It’s just that he just finished the beating, and my dad and mom just heard the news and came over, but they didn’t have time to stop him.
Uncle Zhao fell down with a "thud".
As soon as he collapsed, all of us panicked and could only rush him back to the hospital.
At the same time, He Xiangu on the other side also rushed to the hospital after receiving the news.
But she breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that our whole family was fine. But when He Xiangu glanced at Chen Kui, her expression suddenly changed.
