The temperature drops slightly in September.
The new residents of Tubei Village recreated the lively scenes of the old year and were in full swing to open up wasteland.
We built sheds to surround the yard, opened vegetable gardens and fields, and worked together to create a lively atmosphere. Laughter could be heard in every corner of the village.
Changdong walked slowly outside the village.
The sun is getting stronger in the near noon, and there are cheerful and busy figures everywhere. There is hope in life. To the villagers, this vicious sunshine seems to be just the right time.
"Hello, Uncle Changdong." After a few steps, the children playing on the roadside saw him and shyly stepped aside, not daring to come forward.
"Changdong, where are you going out?" Six or seven steps later, the white-haired old man squatting in front of the new yard and knocking on the doorframe stood up tremblingly and smiled kindly at him.
"Chang...Changdong! I heard that you work in the inner city and are you going to start work?" Eight or nine steps away, a man standing half-way up the wall wiped his sweat and greeted him warmly and tentatively.
There was a smile on Changdong's face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
Be bold.
Is he familiar with them?
When did the name Changdong become known to everyone in the village, just because of his timid and cowardly appearance?
Hum, flick your sleeves, the long winter will go faster.
The villagers in the rear waited until he was far away before they dared to raise their eyes and look at his back, with doubts in their eyes.
"Why do I feel so weird? Changdong was very polite to others when we first came here. At that time, he was helping Mr. Huo build an awning."
"It's a bit strange. Isn't it said that Chang Dong never walks with an edge..."
"What are you thinking about? Changdong couldn't straighten his back before. It must be because he was bullied all the time in the city. But when he came to Tubei Village, everyone was so kind, so his back naturally straightened up! Look at us, Aren’t they all rickety in the beginning?”
"What I'm saying is that our Tubei Village is a very good place!"
The people walking out with their backs straight had dark faces, and they did not even look sideways as they walked through the fields at the entrance of the village.
In the fields by the roadside, the Su family's father and son were plowing the fields.
Deeply plow the fields and spread plant ash over the winter so that the rice planted next spring will grow well.
Su Er turned his head and squinted to see a familiar figure. After taking a closer look, his face lit up. He grabbed the kettle placed on the edge of the field and chased after him.
"Changdong! Changdong! Are you going back to the inner city? Has the shopkeeper asked you to go to work?"
In September, the reeds are blooming in the reeds, and the river breeze blows, and white waves fly.
Changdong stood next to the reed marsh, turned around, and looked at the person chasing him calmly, "What are you doing?"
The sun was shining brightly above the head. The man had been working all morning and chased him all the way. He was out of breath and didn't understand the coldness in his eyes. He flashed his white teeth and handed him the kettle in his hand, "It takes half a walk from our village to the inner city." There are many hours, and the sun is very strong at noon. Bring this water with you. If you are thirsty on the way, drink it. My mother specially brewed the big leaf tea in the morning to quench your thirst and relieve the heat!"
Changdong's eyes fell on the kettle. It was a piece of bamboo tube tied with crude hemp thread. This was the kettle used by farmers.
Changdong raised the corner of his mouth, raised his eyes, and looked at the fool in front of him against the light, "Su Er, am I easy to bully?"
Su Er was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He didn't know why, and scratched his head anxiously, "What bullying? No, someone bullied you? Tell me who! I'll go find him!"
The other party didn't speak. Su Er became even more anxious. Sweat broke out on his forehead. He hit Changdong's shoulder with his fist and said harshly, "You are talking. Who bullied you again? Just say that you are a big man and you are a mother-in-law. Bai Bai You're so tall! If anyone bullies you, beat him back! If you can't beat him, come back and call me, what's the use of a brother? Don't you think of me as a brother?"
Changdong pursed his lips, his eyes getting colder.
His boat capsized in the gutter in the morning wind, and he had been pretending to be in vain for several months, and he was afraid that he would have been seen through long ago.
The little boy comes and asks him to help fight. Will the cowardly Changdong help fight?
Open the condom and let him get in!
I just don’t know how many people in the Xiao Su family know the inside story.
He was too lazy to guess anymore, and when he turned around to leave, his ears twitched slightly, his eyes sharpened, and he shot down a hidden weapon that hit Su Er's vest with a snap of his fingers.
"Long winter? Long winter! You——"
Changdong struck the side of the noisy man's neck with his backhand, clearing his ears.
When the man fell down, he held up his head with his toes and jerked his feet in disgust.
When his gaze turned to somewhere outside the reed swamp, Changdong's eyes became even more stern, he sneered, and threw himself in that direction like an arrow.
The scorching sun was scorching, and the reed flowers were blown everywhere, and little bits of snow rose in the air.
Behind the dense grass and behind the big rocks, muffled sounds were heard frequently, and specks of blood occasionally splashed out.
A moment later, several black shadows were thrown out and exposed to the sun, lifeless. The most conspicuous thing was the horrible look on everyone's face.
Changdong spun around and flew out, landing lightly on the ground. He gracefully wiped away the dirt on his hands, and the depression he was holding in his heart dissipated a lot.
He ignored Su Er who was lying on the ground and snoring. He walked straight to the reed marsh at a height of 10 meters and looked down at the woman and child squatting there. "Find someone to carry that guy back."
Witnessing another massacre with their own eyes, the women and children's eyes were obviously frightened and trembling, but they could not hide their blind admiration, especially the four or five-year-old children, "Uncle Changdong, you... you are also a master Wow!"
Changdong closed his eyes and took a deep breath, snorted coldly and left. Before leaving, he passed by Su Er and paused. Finally, he leaned over and took away the bamboo kettle that the man had clutched tightly in his hand even when he was sleeping.
"Xiao Liu, hurry up, go to the field and call Grandpa Su and Uncle Su!" As soon as Changdong left, the woman immediately ordered the eldest son.
The kid named Xiaoliu ran towards the field without saying a word, "Grandpa Su, Uncle Su! Second uncle is fainted over there! Come and carry him back!"
…
There was a layer of dark clouds over Tubei Village.
Su Er's fainting was a small matter, but the big deal was the five or six corpses lying there.
Du Buguo thought it would be too easy for these people to dig a hole for them, so he sprinkled some corpse powder on them and made trouble.
After carrying Su Er, who was snoring loudly, back home, Old Man Su took Su Da to the Huo family yard. "Mr. Huo, those people... are they starting to cause trouble again at Pier 12?"
The faces of the father and son were not pretty, but they were still calm.
Back when I was still in Dahuai Village, I would have been frightened to see so many corpses at the entrance of the village.
I still came to the place of exile, and I encountered a lot of things and saw a lot. Over time, I started to get used to it.
When Old Man Su asked, there was a wry smile on his lips, which could not be said to be a habit, but numbness.
This is the true place of exile.
They can find peace for a while hiding in Tubei Mountain. In the eyes of outsiders, this place may be like a paradise.
Huo Ziheng shook his fan, his face as usual, "The bearded leader of Pier 12 is back. Pier 12 suffered so many losses before, he will never swallow this breath. Those people ambushing outside the village are just the beginning."
Su spoke quickly, "Does this mean they will send people to die next?"
Old man Su, "..."
"They will not break into the village again to seek trouble. However, 90% of Tubei Village are ordinary people. If they encounter those people, Tubei Village will be damaged. The bearded man's move is intended to knock down the mountain and shake the tiger."
