Ge Nanzi's voice choked with "hmm", and then he told intermittently the strange story of how he used a hatchet to cut off the whip of a male dog that was mating to a female dog a few months ago, causing the two dogs to die one after another. The Taoist priest asked again, you only killed two dogs. Why did the dog spirit possess you just now and say that you killed 8?
Ge Nanzi was stunned for a moment, and then said something vaguely. No one else understood it, only his wife understood it, and explained that there were 6 paparazzi in the belly of the dead female dog, and they all died together.
Seeing Ge Nanzi tilting his head slightly, everyone agreed with this explanation.
Suddenly, Ge Nanzi tried to sit up again, but couldn't, so his wife helped him and forced him to sit up. He choked again, and then a sentence came out clearly from his throat - I advise people in the world not to do the immoral things like me in the future! As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and became frustrated.
Others said that he was able to speak just now, but why did he leave in the blink of an eye?
The Taoist priest said that this is the return of light.
At this moment, the setting sun over the mountains outside the house was letting in a little bit of its afterglow through the window, shining on my wife's tearful face, which was as red as blood.
After hearing this story, the middle-aged man still didn't believe it. He went alone to Group 4 of Xiawu Village, Panhe Town, Dongwu County to ask the villagers if there was a person named Ge Nanzi.
The villagers said, yes, he has been gone for several years, and now there is grass several feet high growing on his grave. The middle-aged man is a very serious person. He found Ge Nanzi's wife and pretended that he was Ge Nanzi's friend. He didn't know that Ge Nanzi had passed away, so he asked Ge Nanzi's wife to lead the way. He wanted to burn incense and worship in front of Ge Nanzi's grave. In fact, his The purpose is to see Ge Nanzi's grave and personally verify whether what Shi Zaitian said is true or false.
The middle-aged man followed Gen Nanzi's wife to Gen Nanzi's grave in the back mountain. There were indeed weeds about a foot long growing on it.
After he burned incense and knelt down to worship, he pulled weeds on Ge Nanzi's grave and said, Brother Ge, Brother Ge, you killed the dog in that cruel way. The dog spirit will kill you. It's not worth it. Because of this incident, I was a little panicked. I am Niu Er, a dog dealer in Qianshan County. I drive an agricultural vehicle almost every day to help dog meat dealers sell dog meat. Is it a sin for me to do this? Of course Ge Nanzi in the grave would not answer.
The mountain wind was blowing, making a pitter-pattering sound, but the tomb seemed more and more silent. But Ge Nanzi's wife started talking, "No, you didn't kill the dog yourself, you just transported the dog meat to the dog dealers. The dog spirit will not blame you."
I'm considered an accomplice, why won't the dog spirit blame me? Niu Er asked in self-blame.
Even if I blame you, it won't make you seriously ill or kill you. Ge Nanzi's wife expressed her thoughts.
I hope so. Niu Er said this and felt relaxed as if relieved.
From then on, Niu Er returned to his hometown and did not want to transport dog meat to the dog meat dealers because he believed that after the dog died, there was still a dog spirit. The dog spirit would not die, and he was worried that the dog spirit would take revenge on him.
He told this idea to his father Niu Taixing, who was still in good health in his seventies, but was opposed. Niu Taixing claims to be a person who does not believe in evil. He said that when he was young, he sold cattle and killed countless cattle. Wasn't it safe?
When his father talked about killing cows, Niu Er was most impressed. He witnessed his father killing a cow, no, not killing a cow with a knife. If someone had to help, tie up the cow's belly, put it down on the ground, cut its throat with a knife, and bleed it, the cow would die quickly, and the pain would only last for a while, and then it would die.
But my father killed the cow and never asked for help. He is tall and strong. He often takes advantage of the cow's inadvertent attention and suddenly lifts the ax hidden behind his butt. He gathers his huge strength and hits the cow's forehead with a "bang-dong" sound, and then hits it again and again. If you hit it less than three times, the pained cow will be unable to hold on and fall to the ground.
After a while, it stopped moving, and stared at the father who had killed it with a dead hand as if holding a grudge. My father also looked at it, and saw that its head was full of blood, and his ax was also covered in blood.
At this time, some good people came to watch the fun, and would tease his father, "Uncle Taixing, you are so powerful, you can kill a cow with just a few axes."
Not by chopping to death, but by knocking to death. The father who was still holding the ax said this, making people feel as if he had not stopped killing. He wiped the blood-soaked head of the ax on the ground, and the part that was as green and shiny as a chopping board was revealed. look.
He also explained that if the cow was chopped with the blade of an ax, the cow would also die. The problem is that the cow's hide is easily damaged. I use an ax to beat the cow's head to death so that the hide will not be damaged. Then the cowhide can be sold at a good price after processing.
In Niu Er's impression, his father's actions can be said to be very vicious, and the reality is very cruel. He lost his temper and was reckless.
I remember when I was a child, Niu Er was playing naughty, and his father got angry, so he picked up Niu Er as an object and threw it into the courtyard full of blue stones.
Fortunately, his mother grabbed his father and hugged Niu Er, and he survived. Since then, Niu Er has become much more honest in front of his father, and he no longer dares to "turn evil". His father asked him to learn how to drive an agricultural vehicle, and it was also what his father asked him to do when driving an agricultural vehicle to help the dog dealers in transportation.
Now that he didn't want to do this business anymore, and it was hard to argue with his father, he said, I can make more money by going out to work than doing this. My father said, if you want to go out to work, I have no objection. You have to finish all the work this month so that others can pay you.
It turns out that there is an old man named Shi Deyuan from Group 4 of Centipede Ridge Village, Yanghuo Town, Qianshan County. Because his wife passed away before him, and he was lonely at home for a few years, he often went to live with his daughter in the city. He lived there for three or five years. God, I don’t want to live here anymore, I want to go back to my hometown.
On the second day of the fifth lunar month this year, Shi Deyuan, who had stayed at his daughter's house for a week, said he wanted to go back to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival because he still had his eldest son in his hometown in the countryside. The daughter obeyed him and took him to the station and gave him money to buy a ticket. The daughter left first because she was too busy.
Unexpectedly, old man Shi Deyuan did not buy the ticket. Instead, he held the money for the ticket in his hand, put a bucket in his purse, and left the station. He felt that his hometown was only a dozen miles away from the county seat, so why bother taking a ride? Let’s walk! Anyway, there's nothing urgent, it's morning now, it's not getting dark and we can't see the road.
He walked slowly for about a quarter of an hour, walked out of the city gate, got on the highway, pulled over, and continued walking home. As he walked, he thought: In the past, where could I take a bus from the countryside to the city or even back after doing errands? They were all on foot, not empty-handed. Most of them were carried on their backs, and the roads were very narrow and difficult to walk. They also had many twists and turns, so they had to go over mountains and ridges, or cross bridges and cross farmlands.
At that time, everyone and I came over. Nowadays, most people strive to be light-weight, hitchhiking for a few steps, and are highly dependent, which easily breeds laziness. I don't get used to it, so it's better to walk.
Shi Deyuan thought about it all the way, and slowly he could see the rolling mountains of Centipede Ridge Village not far ahead. When he raised his head, he was unlucky. Something fell from the parasol tree on the roadside and landed on his forehead. When he touched it, he found a lump of bird droppings, which was all over his hands.
Hi! He let out a sigh of dissatisfaction, quickly approached the ditch on the roadside to get some water to wash off, and then started on the road again. Just after walking about 40 meters, he came across a farm vehicle with smoke still coming from the front. When he was looking at the smoke, the agricultural vehicle drove quickly and did not stop. It knocked Shi Deyuan to the ground and the vehicle stopped.
Shi Deyuan felt a sharp pain in his lumbar spine. He couldn't get up and groaned on the ground. The driver of the farm truck was Niu Er, a dog dealer. He had just delivered several of the killed dogs to the county market for wholesale sale, but he didn't expect that his car would run into such an unlucky thing.
Now Niu Er couldn't think too much, and immediately jumped out of the car and helped the old man lying on the ground. However, the old man couldn't stand, so he had to grab his shoulder or something, and freed one hand to pull back the hem of his clothes. The old man turned his head and squinted his eyes. He couldn't see his lumbar spine. He only felt swelling and pain.
Niu Er could see that the old man's lumbar spine was swollen and turned blue. He said sorry again and again, and after asking for the old man's name, home address and immediate family members, he then asked, "Old man, do you want to inform your children to come?"
Just take me to the hospital first! Shi Deyuan said.
Okay, but I don’t have any money now and I have to go home and bring the money. Niu Er was talking nonsense. How could he have the money to take the old man to the hospital for medical treatment? He also knew that if an old man was hit by a car, even small hospitals and clinics in towns and villages could not do anything. He had to go to a big hospital in the county, and going to a big hospital would cost a lot of money! He frowned as he looked at Shi Deyuan, who could barely stand with his own support.
So, you still want to go home first? Shi Deyuan asked.
Of course, if I don’t go home first and send you to the county hospital empty-handed, will they admit you? Niu Er looked at the wrinkled Shi Deyuan and said.
You are in the dog meat business and you have no money? Shi Deyuan and Niu Er are somewhat familiar, because Niu Er follows dog dealers to sell dogs everywhere, and has visited Centipede Ridge Village many times. Knowing this, he frowned and asked.
No, the payment hasn't been settled yet, it's all on credit. Niu Er was so anxious that his forehead was sweating. As he spoke, he stretched out his hands to hold the old man's waist, trying to pick him up and put him in the bed of the farm vehicle, drag him home, and discuss with his father whether he could borrow money from his father and then take him home. He was sent to the county hospital for treatment.
You can go back and get the money, but don't drive. I'll sit next to your car and wait for you. Come quickly. Shi Deyuan expressed his inner thoughts.
How can that work? Walking slowly on two feet. Saying that, Niu Er, who was very strong, picked up the old man and put him into the carriage.
Seeing the old man's expression of reluctance, he lied and said, "Why don't you come to my house? My father knows about bruises. Maybe if he touches you, he can prevent you from being hit by a car." Wouldn't it be better if the tuberculosis wound that had been made could be pinched and touched out?
I don’t want your father to touch me, I want you to pay me to take me to the hospital. Shi Deyuan, who was sitting in the carriage, spoke firmly.
Several passers-by who had already gathered to watch the excitement listened to their conversation and most of them expressed sympathy and support for the old man. Some people say that if you are hit by a car, it is not something that a therapist can handle, but it is better to go to the hospital for examination and photography.
Some people said, yes, the therapist can just massage and touch people with minor sprains or falls, and put plaster on them, and it will be fine. This old man was hit by a car, and maybe his lumbar spine was fractured. You need to go to the hospital to put on a plaster, and there is nothing the plaster can do.
Don't worry, this old man was hit by my car, I am responsible. Having said this, Niu Er ignored the old man's mutterings of dissatisfaction, put the gear into gear, started the humming farm vehicle and emitted black smoke, and walked along the stone road in the countryside toward the mountains and rivers in the distance. Niujiazhuang drove away.
