Chapter 24: Consequences, very serious
A few people gathered around, LuLu loosened my pants leg, looking at a rat hole on the corner of the wall began to show their teeth viciously.
The root of the wall had accumulated a thick layer of snow, the snow was permeated with some dry grass stalks, and two lines of crooked but unusually clear scratches went down the root of the wall into the rat hole.
"Traces of a long worm walking." Yao Jing said with some surprise.
"Eighty percent." I nodded, this kind of crooked, no footprints scratches, absolutely can't be left by the rats when they walked through, moreover, I did smell a trace of faint, some déjà vu of that kind of fishy odor, yes, it is the same fishy odor that I smelled earlier in the grandmother's temple.
Chen Jin in a side happy, raised his right hand waving swing shouted: "Yunliang, quickly, go to your home to take out the spade."
"Do what?" Chang Yunliang asked in surprise.
"Nonsense, digging long worms!" Chen Jin said with excitement and some excitement: "Shit than the big winter there are long worms, must be almost the same as the grandmother's temple that thing, what a good treasure ah, just now on the cheap road road this dog thing a, now I have to get a taste of the old me."
Chang Yunliang was puzzled and asked, "What are you talking about? What treasure and grandmother temple got involved?"
"Nothing." I answered for Chen Jin, pulled a hand Chen Jin, and then said to Chang Yunliang: "Your family did not do anything last night, right?"
Probably think that we several look a little strange, Chen Jin is full of excitement, I am frowning full of mind, Guo Chao and Yao Jing face nervous and timid, Chang Yunliang even more puzzled, slowly said: "Nothing ah, you this day this is what happened?"
"Something happened." Guo Chao panicked walked to Chang Yunliang in front of him, and said in a suppressed voice: "Last night our house was in an uproar, Lu Lu the dog barked all night; Liu Bing last night saw a ghost hitting the wall, and this day his mother is seriously ill; Yao Jing's house last night into a yard of rats, and tortured the family enough, this is not, and just now also invited Hu Laoshi on their home to exorcise the ghosts and demons. "
"Really?" Chang Yunliang ate a shock, almost did not drop the chopsticks to the ground, "Fuck, this is also too evil, that's not right ah, last night did not go to the grandmother temple kowtowed to make amends? It doesn't have anything to do with the Grandmother Temple, does it?"
Listen to him say, I put down a large part of the heart, said: "So, your family did not have any strange things?"
"No ah, hey not right, I want to think ……" Chang Yunliang flooded suspicion, frowning thought said: "Ah yes, last night I had a dream, dream what I forget, I usually rarely dream. "
"Fuck you." Chen Jin casually cursed him.
"Fuck, you're not doing anything hysterical, take the dirty water on yourself ah you?" I let Chang Yunliang's words made me laugh and cry, turned my head to my brothers and sisters and said, "Come on, let's go, go to another house, Yunliang's house is simply fine."
Not only me and Chen Jin, Guo Chao and Yao Jing two are not happy Chang Yunliang, his grandmother is a bit angry, oh, other people's families have a problem, your family is fine, you put a little bit of fart, or even out of thin air, made up dreams out of it, so that Guo Chao and Yao Jing listen to also think you Chang Yunliang is talking about the sarcasm of it.
I walked down the street towards Xue Zhigang's house, Chen Jin picked up the dog chain, pulling Lu Lu, who was still showing his teeth at the rat hole, Guo Chao and Yao Jing glared at Chang Yunliang with some annoyance, and also quickly followed me.
"Hey, whose house are you going to? Wait for me to put the dishes at home, let's go together." Chang Yunliang didn't even realize how inappropriate his words were, and seeing that the few of us were no longer paying attention to him, he hurriedly sent the dishes to the house and ran to catch up with us.
The next natural Xue Zhigang and Chang Hanqiang and their two families, I do not bother to tell, the reason is that their two families last night did not have any evil things, if I have to say that there is something, that is Chang Hanqiang his father beat his mother again, Xue Zhigang his mother and mother-in-law quarrel again. If these parents talk about it again, it would be enough for a novel, long-winded.
So a circle down, we a few buddies will be gathered again, but we did not expect is, in our slowly gathered, the village gang of old ladies have also been gathered, they want to do a big job.
The day is almost noon, the sun like a big white round dish not washed clean, hanging listlessly in the light gray clouds, small north wind whistling blowing, the street was originally swept to the sides of the snow blowing away, in the frozen hard pavement, laying a layer of thin snowflakes, flooded with the black and yellow of the land, the cold and heavy air.
The street is cold and quiet, families are closed yard door, occasionally there will be the sound of some livestock grunting and calling from anyone's house.
A few of us along the edge of the canal in the street idle skating, which if usual, will always find something to find some fun to pass the time, but today is different, in addition to the Chen Jin this heartless guy, each of them are loaded with things, so a few people in a rare piece of extremely no jokes and laughter.
Almost walked to the back of the street when, in the distance, a sudden burst of a tractor, driving a tractor is the back of the street Xie two dogs, Liu Bin and his father are sitting behind the tractor, wearing a cotton coat, wearing a cotton hat.
Chen Jin dragged the dog to the side of the road to open up the road, said: "Hey, that's not Liu Bin? Such a cold day to do it?"
"Who knows, or we all get on the tractor and follow around it?" Chang Yunliang said words leaped to the middle of the road, facing the tractor waved his arm.
In fact, that time is really idle nothing to do, and …… to say a word of embarrassment, can sit for a while on the tractor, that will feel very cool very face, the whole village can be only so a tractor, but not personal, the village brigade, and only people Xie Erdog and Chang Baotian will open the tractor.
Speaking, the tractor has driven to the front, because often Yunliang in the middle of the road to stop the cause, the tractor abruptly stopped, Xie Erdog wearing a large dog skin hat, wrapped around his neck with a scarf, wrapped tightly only exposed eyes and nose.
Xie Erdog eyes some annoyance, but people often Yunliang is the son of the village branch secretary, he naturally is not good to say anything, muffled shouted: "Yunliang, hurry to get out of the way, in a hurry to the hospital it."
"Hurry to get out of the way, hurry up." Liu Bin's father shouted from the car, his face full of anxiety.
Liu Bin stood up in the car, waved his arm in a hurry and shouted, "Yunliang, you all get out of the way, I'm in a hurry to go to the hospital, my mother is almost out of it."
We just noticed that the tractor is covered with straw, covered with several layers of thick quilts, know that the inside must be rolled with Liu Bin mother, I rushed forward to pull Chang Yunliang out of the way, waved his hand and shouted: "That hurry, what to help hurry back to shout us over ah."
"I know, I know!" Liu Bin's eyes filled with tears, voice somewhat choked.
The tractor burst into smoke and drove past, a few of us stood on the roadside in a daze. Look at that situation just now, I'm afraid that Liu Bin's mother really can't, year after year with the disease, year after year to see, year after year bedridden, year after year idle, really suffered a few years of crime ah.
"Hey, strange, two days ago I also saw Binzi his mother, cold days in the street sneaking to come, but also said that they are much better health this winter, this how to say no can not do it?" Chang Yunliang said with a frown.
I am still looking at the tractor farther and farther away, the heart of the fire rubbing up, really his grandmother's gas ah, if not those old ladies this morning to go to the Liu Bin home to make trouble, Liu Bin mother how can suddenly commit a disease, and so serious it? But at this time, I saw the tractor moving away from the top, rolled a greenish-black smoke, along with the tractor fluttering, the wind can not be dispersed.
"Yinle, did you see that green smoke?" Chen Jin seemed to have seen it too, and said doubtfully, "It can't be the smoke from the tractor, or the smoke from the burning straw on the car, right?"
"What are you talking about?" Yao Jing and the others followed Chen Jin's eyes to the tractor in the distance.
"Che, what's so strange about this, if that tractor doesn't smoke, can it still go?" Chang Yunliang twisted his face around and said with disdain.
Several other people also nodded and agreed, I patted Chen Jin's shoulder, squeezed his eyes and said, "What are you talking about? It's almost noon, break up and go home for dinner."
I have no other meaning, because I found, these some weird things, as if only Chen Jin and I two people can see, other people can not see, like last night in the grandmother's temple, Chen Jin and I found the grandmother's temple of the weird phenomena, but other people froze did not see anything, did not feel. I do not let Chen Jin said to the other people to hear, also do not want them to hear the suspicion of fear, especially Yao Jing and Guo Chao two people, is now suspicious of the ghost.
Chen Jin, this kid does not understand the meaning of my eyes at him, staring at Chang Yunliang said: "Bullshit, your family tractor smoke around the tractor blowing does not disperse ah?"
"What smoke around the not disperse ah?" Yao Jing was the most sensitive and asked somewhat nervously.
Several people looked at Chen Jin suspiciously.
Chen Jin grinned and said, "Grandma, didn't you all see it? Just now, there was a cloud of green smoke curling above that tractor, which could not be blown away, just like what that old man said, like bad luck."
After this sentence, Chen Jin himself froze, as if suddenly thought of something.
Guo Chao shivered and said, "Oops, it won't be …… Grandma's Temple that sins to Liu Bin's family, right?"
"My mother ah, I have to hurry back to see go, my family can not have anything again." Yao Jing heard, shot down the butt on the run back.
"Hey, look what you're scared of." Chen Jin scolded, but Yao Jing had already run away.
"No, I also have to go home to see, Jinzi, the two of us all the way, go back to eat, the day is also noon." Guo Chao was also scared, reaching out to Chen Jin's hand to take the dog chain.
Chen Jin was dissatisfied, shook off Guo Chao's hand to pull the dog chain, cursed and said: "Fuck, you are afraid of a hair ah? I'm with Yinle ……"
He did not finish his words frowned, along the second street to the west to see, only to see far away, a dozen old women with hobbling feet are walking towards our side, see us a few, immediately began to nag and point fingers.
