Chapter 07: Seriously Injured, How Can You Know It’s Not a Blessing?
For the gang of old ladies led by the copper lock mother, the cross street grandmother temple, should be their most loyal and faithful temple, inside the XuanMu NiangNiang enshrined, is their spiritual pillar. As for the other temples in the village, they just add a few more spiritual pillars to their beliefs, perhaps, in their psychology, that the Queen Mother in the villagers' beliefs, ranked the eldest, the other temples in the gods, in the second place.
In order to like the villagers more believe in the temple in the deity, more to show their status in front of the deity, the old lady too have to make a big deal out of nothing, orchestrate some incredible things to say that the deity ah what said with them what words ah, dream ah, so that the villagers believe in the truth, and then in accordance with the instructions of the old lady to go to worship this temple, to worship that deity. I think, they are old and uneducated, probably from the inside, is very low self-esteem, or is not willing to it, want to get a higher status, to get people more attention is very respect, in fact, is the vanity in the monster it.
And it is because of such a mentality, just cheap evil, they ate the old ladies of this mentality, so they will enter the village, first to confuse these old ladies, with the help of the old ladies of the mouth and behavior, to obtain the villagers of the faith of the offerings.
Sometimes I have been wondering whether it was the bewitchment of the evil creature that prompted the old ladies to become puppets of superstition, or whether it was the faith of the old ladies that caused the evil creature to take advantage of the situation to scourge people?
For this reason, I used to be confused for a long time, and I really couldn't understand it. Then I stopped thinking about these useless things after I heard an odd question: did the chicken come first, or did the egg come first?
–How similar ah!
Since Grandma's Temple was the temple they respected the most, when they learned that a few of our young men had demolished and smashed the village temple overnight, the old ladies, under the yelling of the Copper-locked Lady, immediately ran toward the cross street in a panic after they had assembled in the middle of the night.
When they ran to the cross street, they saw from afar the grandmother temple on the north side of the cross street, shaking in the burning flames, the smoke rolled, covering the starry sky that was already fading, the fire was ferocious, the fire flames rose up six or seven meters high, licking the night sky, greedily devouring the air.
Seven or eight young men ran out of the smoke and night in a panic, Chen Jin shouted, "Quickly, quickly, send Yinle to Mr. Du's place, hurry up!"
The two of them, Liu Bin and Yao Jing, looked like they were supporting me, but they were actually carrying me and dragging me forward at a fast pace. Seeing that the two of them were walking slowly, Xue Zhigang simply ran to the front and bent down, roaring, "Here, let me carry Yinle!"
The two of them hurriedly put me on Xue Zhigang's back, Xue Zhigang picked me up and ran, and the brothers followed behind carrying their weapons, panicked, as if they were afraid that I wouldn't be able to make it.
"Don't, don't fucking panic with the ass on fire like, Laozi life hard, death, death can't ……" I lie on Xue Zhigang's back, said with a strong smile, in fact, my heart is very scared, the whole right leg has no feeling, and the waist have been Numb, I know, this must be poisoned, heck, is …… old me to be killed in the venom released by this huge spider?
Brethren as if they did not hear me speak, without saying a word in the faintly flooded morning light of the street hurriedly running.
"Stop, you little brats!" Copperlock Niang shouted, while running over with the old ladies at an unbelievable speed, crossing in front of us.
We all stood still, a bit lost in thought as we looked at those old ladies, I think the brothers and sisters all felt that the speed at which these old ladies ran just now was also too fast, right?
Copper Lock Niang pointed at us and roared angrily, "You guys, you dare to burn down the Xuanmu Niangniang temple, if you don't give a statement out today, no one will want to leave, I'm telling you ……"
"Get lost!"
Chen Jin took a step forward carrying the brazier, his eyes glaring like copper bells, his roar shook the ears, directly interrupting the roar that had suppressed the Copper Lock Nymphet.
"You …… Chen family's little brat you're still crazy ……" Copperlock Niang was a little timid, but she felt that she was old and Chen Jin didn't dare to do anything to her.
"Get lost!"
Chen Jin let out another roar, and with his right hand, he raised the brazier diagonally and said word for word, "I'm going to count to three, one, two, three ……"
When counting these three counts, Chen Jin almost did not pause, not a bit of spare time, not a bit of time given to the old ladies to think, after counting the three counts, Chen Jin obliquely held up the brazier to meet the gang of old ladies and walked over.
Xue Zhigang carried me on his back, head held high, glaring angrily at the old ladies, followed Chen Jin and walked over.
The brothers all picked up the guys in their hands, they were like crazy, either they were all infected by Chen Jin, or, they were all worried about my safety, they no longer regarded the few old ladies who were blocking us in front of them as old ladies, they were all emitting an intimidating murderous aura, this kind of aura, we had once erupted when we fought the gang of landlords and hooligans in the bloodbath in Handan, yes, the Exactly the same.
If these old ladies don't get out of the way, I believe that my buddies, led by Chen Jin, will treat them like a group of gangsters who challenged us and bullied us, and use their hands to demolish temples and smash temples, greeting them.
Perhaps, you will see here will feel disgraceful, will laugh at us, despise us, contemptuous look at our mentality and behavior at that time.
Yes, after this incident, we once discussed whether we would still treat those old ladies in such a way if such a situation happened again. The answer is not, they are some old people, can not be touched, is a real vulnerable group, more than the women of the vulnerable group of women, we a bunch of young lads on their hands, then it is too shameful, too shameful, too …… not something.
But! Although we discuss the answer is not, but Chen Jin has a paragraph that says good: "At that time, Yinle was injured like that, legs and feet have been bleeding, flowing so fast, and legs and feet black and purple, we worry ah, really if something happened how to do? So …… even if the back of the curse, also have to go out, the results we discussed will not be hands, only limited to in the brotherhood of a few in anyone is not life-threatening situation, if there will be such a situation occurs, and extreme coincidence is that there is a buddy was seriously injured, life hangs in the balance, then …… We will still, raise the hands of the weapon high, will any block our people, things, things, smashed, even if it is to kill a bloody road, even if it is to use a few other lives, in exchange for a brother's life, even if the end result, but also to lose a few lives, because, we are buddies, we have to righteousness! "
This passage, which was said more than ten years later, even after things had passed for more than ten years, or decades, when I heard this passage and thought about it, I couldn't help but be touched, really touched.
And at that time I did not know that I was bleeding, my right leg has not a trace of consciousness, I only know that this is a sign of poisoning, I also do not dare to look at their own legs, I am afraid that a glance down, I will find that their legs have been lost. The brothers were afraid that I would worry, so no one told me that I was bleeding either.
But when I saw the brothers so aggressively face this gang of old ladies rushed over, I know, their own injuries, must be very serious, Chen Jin, and my gang of buddies, although they are easy to impulsive, although reckless although short-tempered, but they are not brainless fools, the last time Chen Jin was copper locks mother's head to the flower, Chen Jin as usual, hold back did not do anything to the old lady ah.
The copper lock mother was dumbfounded, she stared blankly at Chen Jin holding the iron brazier diagonally and striding over, she did not even know that she was afraid, did not know what she should do, or, she was completely scared silly?
A few other old ladies hurriedly back legs, the back street Li Gensheng his mother a little more courage, hurriedly stood stupid copper lock mother toward the side of the second street dragged two steps away. Almost at the same time as the copper-locked woman was being pulled backward, Chen Jin's iron brazier smashed down with the sound of the wind and hit the ground with a thud.
If, if Li Gensheng's mother had not pulled Tongliao Niang, if Tongliao Niang had retreated two seconds later, the brazier would have struck her head, which was already full of gray hair.
The consequences were unimaginable.
The old ladies were completely dumbfounded by Chen Jin's move, they couldn't help but shiver, they were old, they were more afraid of death.
On the street, it was as if there was no more life, extremely quiet.
So the shuffling sound of several of our young people walking fast, seemed extraordinarily loud, shaking the entire street.
Paradoxical? No, I don't feel contradictory, because at that time I suddenly had this thought in my heart, I suddenly feel, this street, quiet really as if there is no life, and only a few of us, is to survive in this dead zone people.
When Chen Jin's brazier slammed heavily on the door of the village health center, Chen Jin's roar also sounded almost simultaneously, "Dr. Du, Dr. Du, open the door!"
"Open the door! Open the door!" Chang Yunliang stepped forward and slammed his fist hard against the wooden door, making a thumping sound.
"Who is it? What are you shouting for in the middle of the night?" Dr. Du's wife's voice came from the courtyard, and then Dr. Du's voice came out, "What are you shouting for? Calling the door so late, there must be a serious patient …… hey, don t shoot, come come come!"
Chen Jin and Chang Yunliang finally breathed a sigh of relief, no longer shoot the door, the other brothers and sisters are also relieved. Chen Jin and Chang Yunliang and Chang Hanqiang helped lift me off of Xue Zhigang's back and made me sit on the steps of the door.
"Yinle, what's wrong with you? Does it hurt badly?" Chen Jin anxiously asked.
"It's fine, it's fine, the doctor will bandage it up in a moment." Xue Zhigang gasped for breath and said, he was indeed exhausted from jogging all the way to carry me.
My sanity was already a little fuzzy, I forced myself together and said with a smile, "No, it's fine, this, this little pain, pain, it's nothing, what the hell! Laozi, Laozi man, man, big man, no, no pain ……"
Then, I vaguely heard the anxious shouts and calls of my brothers, and then, my eyes went black, and my consciousness plunged into the deep and endless darkness.
……
I was awakened by pain, drilling pain.
A sharp pain coming from my feet, like someone was picking at my hamstrings with a needle, one by one on my toes.
Unable to stifle a groan, I struggled to open my eyes. The light was a bit harsh, I half squinted, in front of me, a few silhouettes shifted, and muffled voices reached my ears. Gradually, sight and hearing, both slowly became clearer.
"Yinle, Yinle, you're awake?"
"Aigoo, can wake up, it's okay, it's okay, it's good to wake up, it's good to wake up."
"Dr. Du, thank you, thank you too ……"
"Hey, there is no thank you, the neighborhood." Dr. Du's voice, seems to have never been fast, has been slow, soft, not anxious.
The room is crowded with people, my mother and Dr. Du is talking, my gang of friends are all gathered in front of the bed, some with a smile on their faces looking at me, some full of worry has not been removed, my father and my grandfather sitting on the bench by the wall, gloomy face, can not see whether it is happy, or worried.
I endure the pain, pull open the corner of my mouth, reluctantly want to smile out, but found that want to smile out, is so difficult, intense pain makes me want to cry.
"Are you awake? Are you awake? Is Silverle awake?"
Liu Yawen's anxious choked speech with surprise joy came, I heard hurried footsteps, then the sound of the door frame being slammed, a few buddies gathered around my bed were pushed away, Liu Yawen squeezed over and swooped in front of the window to look at me earnestly, her eyes full of tears, her face full of worry and sadness, when she saw the basically solidified and somewhat dull reluctant smile on my face, her face's worry and Sadness, turned into happiness and joy in an instant, her eyes filled with tears again in an instant, teardrops gushing out, strings of them, crystal clear.
"Yinle, you can wake up …… oooh ……"
"No, it's okay." I endured the intense pain, forced a smile, and laboriously said, "Don't cry, cry, cry what?"
Liu Yawen did not know what to say, just a hard cry, by the way, took out a handkerchief to wipe my face rolling sweat, intense pain and hot weather, so that I was soaked to the skin.
Brothers and sisters in the side to see me all right, face showed an ugly smile, barely spoke again, then all relieved to smile, smile with relaxation and delight, happy for me, and a little urge to smile, they are probably jealous of me, can have such a beautiful and gentle wife to care about me to worry about me, right?
Chen Jin said, "Come on, let's hurry up and go out first, don't disturb people who have experienced the separation of life and death of two couples to make out, hehehe."
The brothers and sisters all laughed happily.
Even the few adults in the house couldn't help but smile.
But Chen Jin said what he said, he and my gang of buddies didn't have a single intention of leaving to go out.
Liu Yawen's face was so red with shame that she squatted right next to the bed, her arms lying on the edge of the bed, her head lowered as she sobbed, and she couldn't help but laugh twice as well, eliciting delighted smiles from everyone in the house.
"Cough!" My father coughed heavily twice, it seems that adults always feel a little bit not tasteful for this kind of jokes and ambiguities of young people, so he broke this warm and tender atmosphere full of warmth in the house, and said with a grim face and seriousness, "Jin Le Niang, don't make things up there, quickly get the money for Dr. Du, people are still busy at Dr. Du's house. "
"Ai ai, look at me, I forgot about this when I was talking, Dr. Du you wait a little bit …… " Niang said with some self-reproach and walked out.
Dr. Du smiled and said to my father, "No hurry, no hurry, huh, Zhao moncler, Da Niu brother, you do not have to worry too much, Yinle this injury although it seems heavy, that is poisonous, the wound stitched up, a few days to remove the line, and so on the poison completely eliminated, it is completely good, the child's body and bones are strong, I estimate ten days and a half a month, it is good to be good. "
"Injury a hundred days, Dr. Du do not need to say these nice comfort us …… " my grandfather said with a smile on the side.
"Where ah, this is not not hurt tendons and bones? Oh, Zhao grandpa you old know more, in this regard, is not as good as your great nephew me, haha." Dr. Du still said with an unhurried smile.
My grandfather really smiled openly this time, waved his hand and said, "This is true, let's hope so, this child does not let people worry ah, alas ……"
"Come on, I'll go back first, there are still two families to be injected, turn around Yinle this has to be injected twice a day for a week, there is no need to be injected again, I'm leaving ah." Dr. Du saw my mother walk out of the hall through the window, and hurriedly walked out with polite words, he was also really busy, he was the only doctor in the village.
Father and grandfather got up to see Dr. Du out.
As soon as the elders went out, a few of my buddies immediately became active and crowded around, but they were too embarrassed to get too close to the bedside, after all, Liu Yawen is lying on the side of the bed.
Liu Bin very polite from the side of the child moved a small stool to the bedside, he said with a smile: "What, sister-in-law, you sit on the bench, squatting more tired ah."
Liu Yawen was so shy that her face turned even redder, but she was indeed a little tired, so she reached out and dragged the small bench under her buttocks, and squirmed and sat on it, still with her head lowered and her face flushed.
"Aiya, sitting is also tired, if I say, simply lie down on the bed, haha ……" Chen Jin in the side of the child frame Yangzi coaxing.
"Yes, lie down on the bed to go ……."
The brothers all laughed and coaxed.
Liu Yawen was so shy that she almost lowered her face to the bottom of the bed, I really let this group of buddies to the pain are alleviated a lot, finally put on a natural smile on my face, I lifted my hand powerless, said: "Don't, don't make a mess, all the cracks, Lao Zi, Lao Zi almost died of heat, a bit of air into the wind, is not it?"
"Oh yes yes, all make way, make way ……" Chen Jin yelled and moved to the side, using his hand to push the other brothers to stand aside.
Xue Zhigang said: "Yunliang, your home is not a fan? What the hell are you waiting for? Hurry up to bring ah, did not see Yinle are hot into how?"
"Oh, right, right, I'm going to get it, I'm going to get it!" Chang Yunliang slapped his head, not annoyed with Xue Zhigang scolded him, immediately turned and ran out.
Liu Bin and Guo Chao each took a fan and came over to the bed to fan the wind for me, Liu Yawen with a red face grabbed the fan from Liu Bin and personally fanned me.
I was so beautiful that my body was light and airy, and even the intense pain in my feet disappeared without a trace.
Chen Jin joked: "Yo yo, look at the silver music beautiful, that face smile bright, silver music, is not pain? Do you want to get out of bed and dance?"
The brothers laughed and followed Chen Jin's coaxing:
"Yes, yes, if you serve me like this, I think Yinle will be fine in three days!"
"What ah, tonight the cave is no problem!"
"Come on you, on his current appearance, but also in the heart of the dream cave, haha ……"
……
A few of my brothers are making a lot of noise, my father came in from the outside with a stern face and rebuked in a deep voice: "What's all the fuss about?"
So the brothers are hehehe smiled and did not speak, my father looked at Liu Ya Wen in the fan to me, then some angry said: "Rabbit child, caused trouble also let Ya Wen to you serve you, Ya Wen, do not give him a fan, go to the hall house to accompany your mother nagging for a while to go."
"Oh." Liu Ya Wen put down the fan, somewhat reluctantly lowered her head and walked out with a red face.
After Liu Yawen went out, my father dragged over a chair and sat on the side of the bed, with a stern face, he swept a circle of us.
Brothers look at this situation, all know to prepare for criticism, all awkwardly smiled and stood toward the wall, try to stay away from my father.
"Feeling better?" My father turned his head to look at me, cold snort, said: "You a bunch of little brats, all day just know to cause trouble, this time things have made a big fuss, caused a sensation in the whole village, you can be ah famous."
"Father, this matter ……" I want to explain, but I don't know how to explain, although I understand beforehand that this time things will be big, but I don't know how big things are now, and… …I don't know how long I've been unconscious, how long has it been? Looking out through the window, the time now would be mid-morning, with the sun shining on the west wall and the walls of the hall, it would be around ten in the morning.
Dad stared at me, waiting for me to continue, but I simply do not know what to say, so dad sneered and said: "Say ah, this thing how? You have a reason, right? Tell me what are the reasons? The village is now in a mess, you yourself also fell so a serious injury, I heard in the early hours of the morning that you were seriously injured, fainted dead, your mother cried several times in fear, you said you …… you …… alas!"
Father finally sighed heavily, I know, he has fire in his heart, want to hit me scold me, but look at me now this appearance, hit also can not hit, scold it, and what does it matter? Perhaps scolded hard, my mother will come in and quarrel with him.
See my father did not speak, Chen Jin forward a step, carefully said: "Master, you do not angry, this thing is so, we did not want to make a scene, this is the blame for that Zheng copper lock his mother, all day and the gang of old ladies in the village spread our bad words, we are the heroes of the rescue ah, but fell into the reputation of a bad guy, you say wronged not wronged? "
"Should the temple be torn down then?" My father asked angrily in return.
"Ah, you hear me out." Chen Jin said rightfully, "You do not know, our village out of these evil things ah, can be these small temples to attract the evil in the scourge of people, that day we also listened to the words of Hu Laoshi, he said that there are evil into the village, the temple demolition of the evil will not have a place to live, there is no place to live, either they will get out of the way, or will think of scourge of the people, and so on scourge of the people. time it, Hu Laoshi will be able to think of ways to get rid of the evil things."
"Hmm? Is that really the case?" My dad scanned around the others.
"Yes, yes, it's like this, Hu Laoshi said so."
The brothers nodded their heads, affirming what Chen Jin said.
I thought to myself that Hu Laoshi was really unlucky, although he had such a meaning, but his words were not so sure and heavy, what's more, he didn't say that he had a method to get rid of the evil after tearing the temple down and the evil scourge had come to haunt the people, getting rid of the evil was something that depended on all of us working together.
At this point, I can not help but sigh in my heart, Grandpa Hu ah, you old man more to take it easy, on the back of this black pot, thank you thank you.
Father fell silent, half a long time before he said, "Anyway, you have demolished the temple so much, the village people are clamoring for us to pay money to repair the temple."
"Repair the temple?" Chen Jin thought he had heard it wrong, and said with a bitter smile, "Master, the people of our village aren't stupid, are they? Surprisingly, they made such a stupid offer, a few of us are the ones who demolished the temple, oh demolished it and then repaired it up? What do we figure ah ……"
"Then what? You've caused such a big problem, and you've pissed off the whole village, what should we do? Do you want to fight? Scare people?" My father roared, "You guys are really capable, you have enough guts, do you think you're all the bosses in the sky? Huh?"
So my brothers and sisters were all trembling with fear that my father would give us a big slap in the face in a fit of rage.
At this time, my grandfather pushed open the door and walked in, said faintly: "Tear down, just tear down, so what."
Our gang all breathed a sigh of relief, there is grandfather so a sentence, our hearts are solid, that is, demolished on the demolition of it, what else can be done? If the village people are not happy, let them come to us young people to find trouble, see who they dare! Grandma, if it wasn't for them burning incense all day long and believing in this and that, could they have attracted so many evil spirits?
My father said with some helplessness and anger: "Father, why are you talking to these little brats? They, they except to cause trouble, is to cause trouble, you say ……."
"How did they cause trouble? Is it wrong to cause trouble? I think it's fine!" Grandpa waved his hand and interrupted my father's words, walked over to me and said, "Yinle, does it still hurt badly?"
"No, it's fine, I can bear it." I said with a strong smile, the pain coming from my feet made me sweat all over my body, although Liu Bin and Yao Jing were fanning me from the side.
Grandpa smiled kindly and said, "You these young people, do not do amazing, you are not willing to ah, this is good, the whole village are sensational, this morning the front street copper lock mother also found it, must we several families pay out money to people to repair the temple ……"
"Grandpa, then what do you mean?" I asked somewhat anxiously.
"What can I mean? Temple to the people demolished, is it necessary to come to hard, play rogue, just do not give repair, like how to do it?" Grandpa asked rhetorically.
I smiled awkwardly and said, "Look, I'm not just letting evil things bite me, alas, why don't people in the village understand it? The ones living in the temple are not gods."
Father in the side interjected: "You know more, the village people are fools, that the temple is living in the evil, in your way what happened? Did it harm you?"
"Shut up!" My grandfather yelled at my father, my father was muffled and did not speak, my grandfather turned his head to look at our gang, said faintly: "These days, if someone in the village to find you to talk about the repair of the temple, who do not impulse, do not fight with people don't fight with other people, just agree to it."
"What? Agree?" Several of us young people were all dumbfounded.
At this time, Chang Yunliang rushed in with a desk fan, and as soon as he came in, he shouted, "Quickly, quickly, pull the wires, and fan the wind for Yinle, see how hot he is!"
Grandpa looked at my father, my father was a little angry, wriggled his head out to the hall to find cables and sockets, connected to the power supply, turn on the fan, the wind blew, than two people with a fan, really comfortable.
Chang Yunliang said: "Grandpa, I just listened to your old man outside to say something, the village people want to find us to repair the temple, then we agreed to do it? That won't do, this time demolishing the temple, is what we all thought of, set it all down in advance, when something happens, no one can be soft."
"And then just put all the blame on Hu Laoshi?" Grandpa lightly looked at us and said.
The brothers then all bottomed their heads, and in their hearts they blamed Chang Yunliang for coming in and letting the cat out of the bag.
Grandpa sighed and said, "Don't quarrel with the village people, not to mention don't fight and brawl, this won't solve things, you can promise to do it, but the specific time to repair the temple, that will have to be delayed, as long as you promise to do it, it won't be like the whole village is forcing you to hurry up and repair the temple, drag it on and on, and keep on dragging it out until everyone gets tired and annoyed, and then it's good to give them a temple to repair at least. them a temple."
When we heard this, our eyes lit up, it's really a good idea, everything is undecided, we can delay ah, we are calm, we do not quarrel with you do not quarrel with you, we do not get angry with anyone, it is a delay. Don't you want us to build the temple? When we have time and enough money, we'll repair the temple right away. Don't worry, we demolished the temple, we're responsible for it, and we'll always fix it for you.
Then let them wait. Can't wait? Can't wait? Oh, wait a little longer, all right, all right, don't worry, this thing we've been busy, it's not the money can't get it together, really …… oops just wait a little longer ah ……
Yo yo, aiya really sorry sorry, this is really so long, we are also anxious ah, this is not being put together …… what what? We lied to you deliberately delay it? Ouch you say this is not right, we are also anxious ah, oh, can not wait ah? You don't believe us? Oh that's hard to say, or so, I'll give you an idea, go to court to sue us, okay? I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm sure I'll be able to!
……
This is a good idea ah, a few brothers in the heart a little thought, immediately understood the idea of the wonderful place, we just do not go by virtue of our young and exuberant, not by virtue of the tough to play tough, is not the village people will still dare to take the initiative to play with us tough it? So that is a word "delay".
Although the idea is good, the final result is still to repair a temple, which makes us feel a little bit of a pity, can leave the River God Temple and the Dragon King Temple, which is good enough, if not for these two temples are not demolition of the reasons in which we would have demolished these two temples, demolition of so many temples, but also care about the demolition of these two more it?
In any case, first according to my grandfather's method to drag on it, as for the end of the construction of a temple, then who knows this last is when, hehehe.
Since the heart has an idea, naturally also on these things think less, I think more is, I was injured, seriously injured, will be lying at home for a period of time, and this period of time …… absolutely can not let this group of buddies all day in front of me to keep company with me nagging, with them what good nagging, nagging twenty years, early boredom. .
What I want is to talk to Ya Wen, let her these days every day to accompany me, take care of me ……
Hey, hey, angry my gang of buddies.
