Chapter 12: Plans Can’t Catch Up
When I returned home and lay down on the bed, I thought, Chen Jin they have already started to smash the glass of other people's homes, right?
When I thought of this I couldn't help but laugh, this gang of old ladies, perhaps these days are gloating at Hu Laoshi's home, every day will be attacked by the villagers. Even so, the gang of old ladies are also a little reluctant, they are extremely eager for the villagers on our several young people's families, launched a guerrilla warfare like attacks, smashing glass, fire, demolition of the courtyard wall broken door ……
For our hatred, the old ladies have gone deep into their bones. They are always hoping that we are unlucky, when see by the "mother mother" of the compulsion, the villagers for our group of young people, still fear, do not dare to start action against us, the old ladies heart depressed ah, angry ah, unwilling ah! So they invited their most worshiped and respected "Xuanmu Niangniang", asking for divine help, for them to get rid of the bad anger.
In fact, people are often confused by hatred and anger, or vanity, so some simple things they do not understand, or rather, they do not think at all.
The simple thing I am talking about is that by considering these so-called gods with the simplest of thoughts, one can know whether they are true gods or not, and so one has to be skeptical. Let's put it simply. For thousands of years, people have had to have religious beliefs, so why? Why do these simple peasants in the countryside, who have no cultural knowledge, want to be superstitious?
Simply put, in order to seek a spiritual pillar, they are in a hard life, seeking a happy life that is difficult to seek in this life, this is one of them. Secondly, it is the fear of death, as if people have to seek to the truth of life is immortal, but this truth, originally, is not real, so people can only put the spiritual expectations on the gods in the underworld.
However, this kind of faith, we can simply call it – believe in good. What is good faith? That is to say, if you believe in a deity, no matter what kind of deity, you have to learn to be good, to be kind, and so on and so forth, and naturally, the deity that you believe in is bound to be even kinder and better than human beings.
So the question arises, since the gods are teaching people to be good, then how the village temple in the gods taught out of the disciples, but is such a group of bastard son of a bitch old lady it? They are arrogant and domineering in the village all year round, making a fuss over nothing, making noise for three days and three nights when they move, no one dares to mess with them, no one dares to invite them, is this the so-called faith? Is this what we call faith? A faithful follower of the gods?
Besides, the gods are naturally better than people, no matter which point, that is the supreme, their heart, naturally, than ordinary people, to be much stronger ah. That …… is not just stealing some meat offerings? Why do you want to be my enemy? We mortals are worth that much meat, and you, a god, are worth that much meat? …… And now, the old ladies do things, obviously in spite of, obviously in revenge strike, in the village to force people to donate money and materials to contribute to the effort, in order to build some temples, enshrined some simply does not exist the gods, the gods not only do not care, but also with their wolves, together with the evil… …
In fact, I said so much, really let the villagers think of them may not think of so much, the problem is just need to think about, believe in good, and believe in bad, this difference can be seen.
So I often say, the villagers stupid ah.
Lying in bed, I could not sleep for a long time, if it is to do the other day, perhaps I have been asleep, alas ……
Pointed a cigarette smoking on the quiet room quietly alone thinking about these things, I did not turn on the lights, this time, there should be electricity, right?
Moonlight through the window oblique light on the north wall, dragged to the ground there is also a small piece of the window prongs blocked into the black shadow, will be divided into a few pieces of moonlight square, square, reflecting the light, the light in the house light, although dim, but also can see the furnishings of the house.
I wonder what the old ladies are thinking about now. They shouldn't be sleeping, much less thinking about how excited they are about what they're going to do tomorrow. Because …… they were gloating with Hu Laoshi's home being smashed glass, now, the glass in their home, I am afraid, has also been smashed. To Chen Jin's character, estimated to smash the glass, no matter which family's glass, won't just be smashed a piece of two things, probably the home of the glass, at least one-third must be smashed.
They should be angry and cursing the street, right?
Will they still be in the mood to tear down the River God's temple tomorrow? Will they still be in the mood to move the shrine to the Guan Di Temple?
If the mighty and righteous Master Guan really manifested himself, would he be so angry that he swung his Green Dragon Crescent Blade and chopped that bat spirit into pieces, and beat all those old ladies into paralysis? Oh.
Thinking about these have and have not, my consciousness gradually blurred, I know, I am about to fall asleep, very comfortable feeling.
Hidden, a stream of warmth from the waist, along the back straight to the top of the head, and pouring down, such as the mountain stream, gurgling flow into my injured right leg, there was still some slightly swollen slightly painful wound, it seems to be a warm and cool feeling of inclusion, and then there is no trace of pain. Not only that, the flesh at the wound, can let me clearly feel in the growth, so the wound in the recovery …… is like, dry dry land, thirsty wheat seedlings suddenly enjoy timely rain that way, enjoy the water, happy growth.
I opened my eyes, the feeling became blurred, as if it did not want me to know, it is slowly helping me to heal and cure.
Sleepy, I lit another cigarette and smoked it.
The strange effects of this belt were obviously real, tangible, and it had to make me think of Uncle Er again. What a strange person this man is, with the power of one man, put to death an ocelot, and also made a belt. The first time he burned down the grandmother's temple, he easily killed the black snake spirit, which Hu Lao Si had called his skill no less than that of the white fox spirit.
I even began to doubt in my heart, my second uncle, in the end he is human or not?
I smiled bitterly and slandered myself inwardly, how can I think so about my second uncle? He was originally a slightly more abnormal than normal people.
And I, is not also than normal people slightly abnormal a little bit of it? Is …… this with my ancestor's old ancestor descended from the Fu Meng, what is the connection? So I began to suspect that the ancestors descended Fu Meng, immortal gas guarding the Zhao family things have doubts, if it is really so, then how I met so many evil things, and evil things also surprisingly many times dared to conflict with me it? The yellow wolf once gave me under the scattered soul spell, the white fox almost didn't drown me in the water well, this time a spider monster just, almost bit me to death scratching death ……
But to say that there is no immortal energy to protect the body, the blessing of the budding body, then how can I be so fateful, luck and so good? I'm not sure if I'm a good person, but I'm a good person, and I'm not a good person. Can't it be that most of the Immortal Qi and Fuming have come to him alone for him to swallow alone?
My mind was in chaos again, and I even heard what sounded like the clanging and clattering sound of a brick hitting glass.
In a daze, I fell asleep.
……
"Yinle, Yinle, the sun is on your ass, why don't you get up?" Chen Jin's voice woke me up from my sleep.
I opened my eyes, my brothers and sisters had arrived, all standing in the house with smiles, they had probably been here for a while, right? I muttered with dissatisfaction, "Bullshit, I'm sick, naturally I have to get special care, I should just lie in bed more often to recuperate."
"You can not bullshit, last night the brotherhood of several have seen you kid jumping not more than our stupid ……" Xue Zhigang laughed and sarcasm.
"Hey also do not say, this day should remove the line ah, you guys come over to see this wound long, how good ah." Liu Bin sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and stroked my wound, "Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." I shook my head, it's still true, compared to yesterday, the wound seems to be much better again.
This time after the injury, Dr. Du gave a few stitches, a total of fifty-eight stitches, summer bandage up, and worried about because of the hot weather festering, so after the dressing, most of the time are not bandaged, just drying outside. Dr. Du said that my body bones are strong, get well quickly, ten days and a half months is almost the same.
No, it's only been six days, the wound healed completely, and the purple and blue color of my legs due to the poisoning have all disappeared. My brothers all praised my strong physique, saying that I had recovered so quickly from such a serious injury. Of course, they then began to envy and admire my good fortune in having such a good belt, which was truly a rare treasure…
They were chattering in the house, I got up and got out of bed, went outside and washed my face, ate a piece of steamed bread and drank a bowl of water with salted vegetables, and returned to the house. I said, "Jinzi, last night you smashed the glass, how many homes?"
Chen Jin and Guo and Liu Bin all laughed and didn't speak, Chen Jin raised his finger and gestured a six.
I smiled and said, "OK ah you guys, did you give people a few pieces of glass left?"
"Of course, do things can not do too much, we smashed the most is the old lady Li's home glass, at least also give her the remaining half did not smash." Chen Jin said very righteously.
"Fuck, if it is not Li Minghe out of the early, a quasi-period of the glass to them all smashed." Guo also sighed a bit sadly.
A few other buddies laughed, each gloating, feel really relieved, look at this appearance, Chen Jin has already told them everything.
Yao Jing said: "Ouch you do not know, because of smashing the glass of the old lady Li's home, Li Ming and her wife and his wife scolded a morning street today, back home and Li old lady argued for half a day, you guess what? Li Minghe said his mother, if he went out again to burn incense and kowtow, and the gang of old ladies to get together to fool around, he will not recognize her as his mother, and will not feed her."
I said, "Good one Li Minghe, good job, great justice!"
The brothers burst into laughter again.
While we were playing around, grandpa came out from the west room and walked straight to my house, his face was calm as always, but I could see that there seemed to be some anger in his eyes.
Seeing grandpa come in, the brothers and sisters all stopped talking, hehehe sarcastically looked at grandpa and greeted him.
Grandpa nodded and said lightly, "Last night, which one of you went to smash the glass of those old ladies' houses?"
"Me!" Chen Jin immediately raised his hand.
Guo and Liu Bin also raised their hands, "And me, me."
Grandpa looked at me, "You weren't involved?"
"No, absolutely not." I shook my head.
"Last night you came back late ……"
"We went to Hu Laoshi's house, and then we went to see Copper Lock Niang and the girls invoke the gods, hey grandpa, what they invited down, turned out to be a bat spirit." I was very smart to say the words to change the topic.
"Oh?" Grandpa frowned and said, "Then you came back later?"
Chen Jin grabbed and said, "Grandpa, smashing the glass was done by Guo Liu Bin and I, we didn't let Yin Le go, his legs and feet are not good right now, he had to run fast after smashing the glass, we thought he was a drag, so we didn't let him participate."
Grandpa smiled somewhat hopelessly, on Chen Jin so a ask what answer what person, what else can be done? This kid dares to do things and has a look of indifference.
"It's all in the neighborhood, can't afford to be like this, a little bit of conflict, just bear with it and get over it." Grandpa said faintly.
"Well, grandpa, in the future we won't smash it." Chen Jin said playfully.
Grandpa still wanted to say something, when Hu Laoshi's voice came from outside, "Yo, these boys are all here?"
I hurriedly greeted, "Hey hey, in it in it, yo, why did you come out this day? Do not guard at home, not worried about other people to your home to point on the cluck?"
"What are you afraid of?" Hu Laoshi smiled and walked in, and my grandfather smiled and nodded in greeting, then said, "I'm afraid they won't even dare to smash the glass, when they smash the glass in my house, they have to hesitate whether the glass in their own house will be safe or not."
Several of us looked at each other in disbelief, not understanding what Hu Laoshi was talking about.
Hu Laoshi walked in and sat on the edge of the bed, said: "You have done something sensational last night ah, how you think who does not know, but the village people will think, this is a warning to them, shows that you and I Hu Laoshi is on the side of …… "
"Hmm? Do the village people know that we did it?" I frowned, this is not good, I turned my head to Chen Jin and said, "Jinzi, did you guys get caught?"
"No! Absolutely not." Chen Jin said, "Even if someone saw our backs, in the middle of the night, by the light of the moon, they definitely won't recognize us."
Hu Laoshi smiled and wanted to explain, but my grandfather grunted and said for him, "Do I still need to look at you? I don't need to think that it's you guys who did it. The people in the village who dared to smash the glass of those old ladies' houses can't find anyone else but you."
"My father also dared to go." Chen Jin immediately said, but he immediately felt that this was a little bit too much of a bad thing to say, hehehe snapped and said, "Uncle Erniu, also dares to go."
Everyone in the room couldn't help but laugh.
Chang Yunliang smiled and said, "It seems that our fame, is really big enough."
"No no no." Chen Jin modestly waved his hand and said, "How many people are in our village, if the whole country is ……"
"Yes, sooner or later, you all will be famous throughout the country." Grandpa snorted coldly and said faintly, "But at that time, it was the whole country that wanted you."
Our brothers then all smiled awkwardly, thinking: are we that bad?
Grandpa looked at Hu Laoshi, and without saying anything, the two old men walked out and went to my grandfather's house.
No elders in the house, we a few young people feel a lot more relaxed, talk, but also more unrestrained, we talk, mostly because of Chen Jin, they smashed a few old lady's home last night glass, is too much relief too much hate. Just now from Hu Laoshi's words and eyes, we can see, this old man is also really happy, he suffered so many days of anger, finally some relief.
During the period when Dr. Du came to give me an injection, but also very surprised at my injury recovery so straight swift, praise, but also not only shook his head and sighed, think it is really some incredible. But the injury is good is good, this is undoubtedly, so Dr. Du put the sutures on my wound, are removed.
After Dr. Du left, I got out of bed and walked around the house twice, jumped a few times, feeling basically good, of course, compared to before, there are still some discomfort, such as jumping, there will be a little pain, but also feel swollen, but this is not in the way of the child, not more than three or two days, can be healed.
After the excitement, everyone once again happy, Chen Jin and Xue Zhigang even proposed, we should drink a drink to celebrate the silver music healed ah, by the way, also have to celebrate the next will be born soon the old wangbajing and bat essence of the war, they are great after the war and then we point the sword to kill the old wangbajing……
Of course, I have to pay for the drinks and meat.
I naturally do not mind, and promised, this morning in our home to eat and drink. Originally said to go to buy wine and meat, but our plan was my mother to firmly denied, she said that young people do not understand anything, just a few injuries on the drink is not, absolutely not.
So the plan was shelved, the brothers discussed it also gave up, not bad a drink, but also not urgent these two days, back when all the evil things were killed, my injuries are completely healed, we then have a good drink.
I asked the brothers what the old ladies are doing today. Did they find someone to tear down the river god temple ah? I can't wait for them to hurry up and take down the River God's Temple, if they don't drive the old bastard crazy? I'm sure they'll be eager to find the Bat Spirit and have a great time. ……
But the brothers shook their heads and sighed, saying that it would be a pity, today they came, specifically when they passed by a Guandi Temple, the results are now only inside the copper locks mother and two old ladies in the inside busy, the other old ladies did not come. In the street to inquire only to know that other old ladies are let Chen Jin, three of them smashed the glass of the family, the family are uproarious, agreed that this is the old ladies all day in the street to engage in what God ah ghost ah beliefs, only to attract a group of young people's grudge, and now it's good, this group of young people are some rash, the first calf is not afraid of tigers, they dare to do anything, dry up maybe it's not over! ……
So the villagers resolutely blocked their own old mother in the house, do not let go out, for this many families broke out between the family quarrels.
As for the village that follow the old women to mix with the old ladies, it is home to the men to control, for fear of disaster to their own bodies, can not go out to fool around, and so after this period of time to say, we do not go to do that head out to go with the gang of young people to go against them, he they are some bachelors, a person to eat the whole family does not starve of the main child, we are? The first is to make sure that you have a good understanding of the situation, and that you have a good idea of what you are getting into.
This is not to mention the demolition of the River God Temple, the pressure of no one, each hiding inside the home, the door are hung up "do not care about their own high hanging up" banner.
The river temple is not demolished, but the Guandi Temple clean up, the "Xuanmu Niangniang" god moved over, or no problem, after all, this job is not big.
Speaking of here, I suddenly remembered that last night in the copper locks mother's house wall lying on the eavesdropping to watch the invocation of God, Chen Jin and I are not discussing the Guandi Temple to burn it? I asked, "Jinzi, didn't you go to burn the Guan Di Temple last night?"
"Yo." Chen Jin slapped his thighs, "last night smashed the glass smashed too much, forgot to burn the Guan Di Temple, fuck, tonight, tonight and then act."
I thought about it and said, "Let's forget about it, when the old bastard spirit looks for the bat spirit duel, it's good to look for it, the Guandi Temple burned down, I don't know where the bat spirit hides, if it still stays in the copper locks mother's house, the two spirits in the copper locks mother's house to do it, it's hard to avoid hurting people, it's not good."
Brothers and sisters have nodded, said also yes, although these old ladies and we have hatred, but after all, they are also people ah, is also a villager ah, no that deep hatred must hate them to death not, not to that point it. If you really let the battle between the evil things scourge to the old ladies, on their old body bones, can stand to touch it? It will kill them.
We think so, also relieved, wait and see, anyway, as Hu Laoshi said, the old Wang Bajing will not let the bat Jing pain for a long time, it will find it to do a fight, but also dry it, anyway, the old Wang Bajing dry dead bat Jing, it will also be our dry death ……
However, what we never expected was that those families who had their glass smashed, before ten o'clock in the morning, were still bickering in their own homes, but as soon as it was past ten o'clock, it was as if they had suddenly received some orders or had suddenly figured out that they had to be united in the external world, and they had actually stopped the civil war, and then the whole family mobilized to come to our trouble.
We miscalculated, neglected last night on a detailed problem, that is, the bat essence once said, it will put into action, compel the village people with our group of young people for the enemy.
Probably …… the first to be compelled by the bat spirit is these old ladies their own family people, right? Alas, the poor old ladies probably didn't even think about this.
Yao Jing's home, is the first to suffer from these family people attack, Yao Jing home was attacked, a few of us are in my home to talk and laugh it.
Yao Mingtang had gone out early that morning to exchange grain to make some money; Yao Jing's older sister had gotten married last spring, and his younger sister had gone to school, so Yao Jing's mother was the only one left in the family.
Six families, mobilized men and women more than thirty people, rushed into the home of Yao Mingtang, after entering the home, without saying anything is to start smashing ah …… at that time, Yao Jingniang was scared silly, this in the end how is it? How these neighbors, are like crazy, into the home is to smash things, glass, doors and windows, tables, chairs and benches, pots and pans, all do not spare ……
More than thirty people together to do damage, that momentum and efficiency, absolutely much higher.
When Yao Jingniang reacted and wanted to stop, her home had already been destroyed into a pile of garbage.
What kind of person was Yao Jingniang? That is petty to the bone, usually that is a sugar rooster, not to mention pulling her hair, she still have to stick to other people's hair every day. ……
So yao jingniang show open the absolute shrew divine power, to the yard door a lie, the thirty or so people hard stop in the yard, and open howling cry, crying is tearing heart and lungs, touching the sky and earth, darkness …… cry, will always let a person have sympathy for no reason, so that the gang of people to yao jingjia copied the family, the heart of the face of the birth of the a little bit of sense of guilt and guilt.
However, Yao Jing Niang obviously didn't notice this, the first move of the Shrew's Divine Skill of stopping the road and crying, the second move was then used, that is, to break the mouth and curse. Rural women with a little bit of shrewishness were all quite skilled at cursing, and were absolutely untutored, which seemed to be an innate skill that only women possessed. Her scolding is absolutely a series of children's also absolutely sentence with rhyming meaning, but also absolutely a sentence with a sentence without repeating the ……
I don't expect this kind of scolding, not only did not get her originally expected effect: is to let these come to copy home smash things thugs guilty after fear her, and double compensation.
The end is to annoy this group of people, so come to copy the home of the crowd, the female compatriots stood out and Yao Jingniang scolding up, are women are shrews, for the rural kind of shrew scolding kung fu, are familiar with, this kind of kung fu everyone half a catty, who is afraid of who ah?
Yao Jingniang again powerful, she can not withstand several women at the same time to her war ah, so in the scolding on the fight she lost, lost very thoroughly, no power to fight back, so she came to her senses, want to understand or with the first move of the Shrew God Kung Fu, splashing blocking the way to play the rogue type.
But it was already too late, her angry curses and the gang of women, has angered the gang of old men and old ladies, so she was lifted up by the crowd and thrown to the side. The group of men took off, looking for their next target.
Although the gang was under the compulsion of the evil creature, slightly confused psychologically, but the mind, but not yet stupid, they understand that to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, but also have to pick soft persimmons to pinch, so from the Chang Zhishu's doorway passed by, but did not go to provoke Chang Zhishu's home in the slightest.
They went to the home of Chang Hanqiang, into the door on a flurry of smashing, as smashing Yao Jing's home that casual, that kind of fearless and unapologetic smashing …… for this kind of plagiarism, in this group of people, there are definitely several that are practiced, are familiar with, think of the Cultural Revolution when the Red Guards plagiarized the means of the family, was they waved The most effective way to do this is to use the most advanced techniques. Heh, these people, there are several that can be thought of when the Red Guards ah, for copying this kind of thing, they are more skillful.
Just they did not expect, often Hanqiang his father, although honest, but after all is a man, at home watching this group of people come in to do whatever they want, the honest crop finally burst out of the unprecedented courage, left hand picked up the chopper, the right hand picked up the rolling pin, imposing vicious roar: "all the motherfucker roll, and then don't roll the old man to you one by one all chopped to death! "
The gang is to copy the family, is on the basis of the number of people angry, bullying, see the master of the play, they are weak, they retreated.
Chang Hanqiang his father is ultimately an honest man, see people are gone, naturally, will not go after the chopping and killing, but the home has been smashed not like the way.
After coming out from Chang Hanqiang's house, the gang of people who had been bewitched by the evil things did not feel that Chang Hanqiang's dad's explosion was a warning, a code word for them, and they did not think about whether or not there would be a playful resistance in the home of the next established target. They only focused on the result, since they had successfully copied the house in Yao Mingtang's house and Chang Hanqiang's house, then the other several houses, except for those few masters who really couldn't be messed with, the other ones were simple.
So their revenge psychology is stronger, last night's home was smashed glass of anger, instantly burst again, they are young and old men and women that women and women thirty or so people, in the village across the walk through, raging, arrogant, the momentum definitely let the villagers are afraid of their own, straight and less than, far away from looking at them.
Seeing this scene, they are even more arrogant, that walking appearance has changed, shaking his head, shoulders swaying around as if a street can not accommodate any one of them in the middle of the road.
Like a crab like in the streets and alleys rampage this is not enough, they are also loud yelling to go to do what things what things, good guy, as if they can not wait for the whole village people know that they are going to go to copy the house, has copied the house of whoever, whoever dares not put a fart, who does not serve on the extermination of who ……
It was close to a group chorus of that animated song that would become more popular in a decade or so, "We are pests, we are pests ……"
It's kind of appropriate to think that the combination of what they've already done, and what they're going to do with that kind of momentum, is really fucking pests.
The only thing is that the pesticide to kill this kind of pest has not yet been developed.
Then, to deal with this kind of pest, only artificial solution. These manual labor, naturally, is us.
This is also a coincidence, at that time our group of young people, especially the home has suffered persecution of Yao Jing and Chang Han strong, simply do not know that out of so big a thing, we are still in my home to talk about, think of the time when the old wangbajing and bat Jing war, we are not to go to see the show it.
The gang, in a very inopportune manner, picked the weak and vulnerable family, Liu Bin's house to smash.
The problem is, Liu Bin's house is in the alley in front of our family alley head, his family has any big movement, we will certainly be able to hear.
