Chapter 2: Trouble
The village chief's son was very strong, called Liu Dong, with a big head, I used to call him Liu Da Doudou.
He is a head taller than me, and perfect inheritance of his father's genes, in school, basically no one dares to go against him, grabbing classmates' snacks, lifting girls' skirts, throwing stones into the toilet to splash Mr. Teaching an ass of shit ...... This is his daily routine.
In the way of his father is the village chief, most parents teach their children to endure, but my father never let me endure, if the son of the village chief dared to bully me, he told me to beat back.
In addition to me, there is a short man, he looks like stunted, smaller than his age, because his father had killed people, the whole village basically no one is willing to deal with his family, but he and I are the most good companions.
Big Head Liu touched out a handful of sugar, distributed to the female students to send them away, and then let us a dozen male students take off their pants, honestly, that era of the so-called pants off with or without not too much difference, because they are all ragged to the clothes do not cover the body.
I don't know how much sugar is hidden in the pockets of big head Liu, only to see him touch out another handful, each male student divided one, and then followed the example of his old man, very arrogantly said.
"This is not for you to eat, you chew the sugar on the cock, sit down, whoever sticks the most ants, who will follow me."
Second grade, are six or seven-year-old children, also do not know anything, each is bare white ass sitting on the sandy soil by the reservoir, watching one after another ants climb up, I did not want to play this game, but thinking about pants are off, in case of winning, follow Liu big head is not a bad thing, so also endured the scorching sun and ants pinch the itching pain, and hard to hold out to the end.
But there is one thing I did not expect, from this incident, I, Liu big head, and shorty is the village people think is three big hooligans, although I think from the hooligans there is still a long way, but this "three big hooligans" name accompanied me all my life, but also so that the three of us to become a good brother to the end of their lives.
That night, because we won, big head Liu asked his old man for two dollars, to the kiosk to buy melon seeds and poker, and then sat in my canoe to my home "celebration".
Father and mother see the village chief's son to come, will be two days ago to catch the big fish burned, a few people around the meal, the big head of Liu and I want to compete with the guts, said to go to the edge of the water to blow up the golden flower.
Shorty at first did not object, but to the water's edge to see, the hazy water covered up the sky fog, although there is a breeze blowing over, but shorty is still scared and trembling, pointing to the water and asked me and Liu big head.
"Is there a ghost in that water, let's just go back Big Head!"
Liu big head kicked shorty, scolded him for being a wimp, pulled him to a big rock and spread out the poker, gloating.
"This is the new poker, I tell you, the last time the township chief came to my house to play are old cards, that big brat or I painted with paper shells, you do not know enough, there are cards and melons, who wimp who is a grandson"
I have never touched such a hard and bright poker, snatched a big ghost, looked at the moonlight, thinking that the rich is not the same, even the poker can be illuminated silhouette.
Suddenly, the surface of the water fluttered a few times, two waterfowl wailed a few times and then no movement, followed suddenly blew a very fierce wind, the water waves splashed on the stone, poured a shorty face, he would have been a little afraid, this moment has been scared to stand up, pointing to the water in horror.
"Mountain ...... mountain brother ...... you ...... you see ...... that is a ghost? "
I followed his finger to look forward to see, the water somehow there is a fist-sized ball of light in the rotation, the heart is also very afraid, stood up to the big head and said: "big head ah, or not today don't play, let's play during the day again"
"Go go go, two big wimps, let's do it this way, you lose and drink water, I lose and give you money, a handful of 10 cents, how about it?"
I don't know why big head so bold, see can't argue with him, win there is money to collect also pulled shorty sat down, three people eat melon seeds, while touching the cards.
But after playing for a while, Liu big head may also be afraid of, every time you turn over the cards are very loud: "Damn, how is 235, tonight is really evil, this is 20 cents, you take good, let's come back!"
Just as big head Liu said, I am also deeply evil, because my card is not a straight or pair, even three aces have taken five or six times, not only did not drink a mouthful of water in the reservoir, but also won a few dollars, see the sky is already very late, I closed the cards and said: "big head, this is the last hand, after the play all go to my home to sleep, we still have to go to school tomorrow."
Big Head Liu grabbed my hand, snatched the poker, while shuffling the cards, while muttering: "What school, you are not winning money want to run, I can tell you, if you do not accompany me to have fun tonight, tomorrow I will let my father to your home to collect the money".
My family was poor, very afraid of Liu big head let father really come to collect money, had to play with him, but shorty is not afraid of him, stood up and pointed at the head of big head to scold.
"If you have the ability to ask your father to go to my house to collect, see if I don't tell your father and Widow Zhang's matter to the township, I and Brother Shan are not afraid of you."
Hearing that he was going to go to the township to sue his father and Widow Zhang, Big Head Liu became anxious and shoved a large handful of melons into Shorty's hand, laughing.
"I say shorty, we are now playing cards together, can be considered a brother, my father is the village chief, a lot of things I can take a little, if this is someone else, your father's point of shit, but not stabbed to the police station ah."
I do not want the two of them because of this issue quarrel and greatly out of hand, one hand pulling a, will be on the stone on the melon are kicked into the water, glaring at the two of them said.
"Playing cards together does not count as brothers, we have to drink a few mouthfuls of water from this reservoir together, whoever wimped out is a grandson, what do you say"
Reservoir on the eerie, look very scary, big head and shorty looked at a few eyes just swallowed his saliva and lowered his head did not dare to speak, I borrowed the strength of just talking, jumped down from the stone, cupped a mouthful of cold water Zi Bar a mouthful, and then climbed up to the stone to sneer at the two of them are grandchildren.
Big head has never been said, puffed up also jumped down, cupped up the water just want to drink, do not think that the shorty but suddenly shouted.
"Big head, what's next to your leg, seems to be a pair of shoes, quickly fish up and take a look."
I looked to the big head next to the leg, and saw a pair of brightly colored embroidered shoes in the water swinging, thinking that this who is also too rich, such a good pair of shoes lost how unfortunate, so also shouted to let the big head pick up.
The big head picked up the shoes and threw them up, I looked at the embroidered shoes that fell on the stone, tilted my head and thought that the owner of these shoes must be a woman, that man would wear red embroidered shoes?
Shorty did not know what the wind, a foot will kick the shoes into the water, mouth shouted: "mom, this is a dead man wearing shoes, no wonder so evil, we better go back quickly."
Liu big head stood in the water, as soon as he heard that there are dead people, scared legs soft, flopped down in the water, because of the struggle and brought up the sound of prancing very loud, filled a few mouths of cold water before shouting.
"Quickly save me, something is pulling me, you two sons of bitches quickly come down ......."
I was very scared, afraid that Liu big head died here, hurriedly jumped down, assisted him to stand up, through the moonlight I just saw and not something pulling him, but his clothes were in the water to the branches of the tree to set, so he laughed at him and said.
"See you scared, it is a branch well, let you go back do not believe, now how"
Shorty also jumped down to help, will Liu big head to help on shore after the three of us do not dare to play, nimbly back with a quilt over his head to sleep, but once you close your eyes as if there is a white face leaning over, scaring me to hide in the quilt shivering.
Afterwards, I realized that Shorty and Big Head Liu also had this horrible feeling, and when they went back the next morning, I was so sick that my limbs were so weak that I couldn't even stand up.
Did not go to school that day, hiding in the quilt all day do not dare to come out of the head, until the evening, the village chief and short father to my home to inquire, said they went back in the morning on the sick, I thought bad, may be last night encountered ghosts.
See I also can not get up, the mayor of the village questioned my father, saying that if the big head of Liu died, I also have to follow the funeral, but the short father but pull pull pull and the mayor of the village to do it, saying that it is the big head of Liu caused the problem.
My father was very honest, couldn't beat them, couldn't scold them, just desperately trying to persuade the fight from the sidelines, waiting for the two of them to stabilize their emotions, I heard my father's voice speaking.
"village chief ah, I look at myself also not a few years to live, children are all heart meat, who does not heartache it, things have happened, quarrel is not a way, I look at the three of them are evil spirits"
Hiding in the quilt, my whole body is sore, and I don't know what kind of expression the village chief and shorty's father have, but I heard the village chief say.
"Shan Zi last year to the back of the mountain also got hit by the evil, fainted for more than ten days, and finally was saved by the Taoist priest, but now where can we find the Taoist priest, everywhere is to break up the four olds, and even the clay Bodhisattva in the temple is smashed to the dregs of the dregs of the dregs of the dregs of the dregs of the dregs of the dregs of the dregs"
I smelled a very heavy smell of smoke, I guess it was Shorty's father who was smoking dry cigarettes, and it didn't take long to hear him say.
"This is a good thing to do, I'll find someone to cure, but since this is in the old Li's house out of the matter, the money can all have to be old Li out of the money, not if you can't, let the old Li in the New Year for me to organize a few fish also into"
My father heard that things are good, that also dare to refute, immediately agreed to clap, and so they left, my father only pulled open my quilt, touching my head and said.
"mountain child ah, father is only two or three years, you can have to get along with the townspeople, don't try to fool around again."
After saying that, my father fell two drops of cloudy tears, I heart a stabbing pain, then remembered that strange Taoist words "A curse, no one can live past sixty years old".
I told my father last night fished an embroidered shoe, my father was so frightened that he hurriedly kneeled on the ground ......
