"Yes, but he was not lame before. That day we met, and he told me that he saw a big bird nest on the big crooked tree on Dongshan. There must be a bird egg, so he asked me to go with him to dig it. I said my father said that Dongshan was a mass grave and would not let me go. He said it was okay, and we would leave after digging it. Isn't it okay to give you two more bird eggs then?"

"Oh," the old man sighed, "You don't know, young man, no matter what, white flour buns are for food. The chickens raised at home lay eggs, and we have eaten a lot. It was different before. Whoever raises a two-person hen would be reluctant to eat them. They had to keep them at the market to change salt and rice, and who would be willing to eat them for the children? Besides, the chickens at that time, who have something to feed them, let them dig some wild food by themselves. Half of the eggs were empty. Now thinking about it, the chickens at that time were really suffering..."

This old man is either a chicken or a sheep. When will this be said? But this time I don’t have the nerve to interrupt him. I listened to his nagging patiently

"Later, I blamed myself for being greedy, so I drove the sheep to go with him. At that time, there was a mass grave on the east mountain. When someone died, the mat was wrapped and thrown there. There were many dogs in the field waiting to eat dead human flesh, and their eyes were red when they ate.

Alas, let alone those dogs, it’s very pitiful. At that time, people couldn’t eat enough, so who had something to feed the dog, and they were so hungry that they were so hungry that they were swaying and shaking their hands when they walked. Some were so hungry that they were lying on the wall. They couldn’t run away, and they wagged their tails at people, but what’s the use of wagging their tails? Who has something to eat for them?" The old man sighed heavily.

This time I was sad and didn't know how to comfort him. I could only hand over another cigarette.

The old lady smiled and said to us, "Tell me quickly, please stop smoking, see how your father and you smoked a room full of cigarettes." The old man smoked two puffs of cigarettes. "At that time, before we reached the crooked tree, we met several dogs, their eyes were red, and they were eating dead flesh, so we came to us. When the dead pillar saw that it was not good, he climbed the tree and left me. I can't climb the tree. I'm still driving the sheep. If the sheep is eaten by the dog, my father will have to peel my skin when he goes back! But I'm scared from the bottom of my heart, and my legs are trembling with scare."

The old man's eyes were a little dim, "Suddenly, I saw the dog running in the front looking familiar, very much like the "Laifu" of Lao Bi's family in the west of the village. Lao Bi died of illness in the spring, and no one cared about it. I called it "Laifu". It stopped, tilted its head and looked at me, it still remembered me."

"But the dogs behind don't care. They'll bite my sheep when they come up. I'll beat them with a stick. They came at me. Suddenly, Laifu barked twice, turned around and went to the dogs, biting them together with the dogs. I knew it was protecting me. I was frightened at that time and watched the dogs bite Laifu. Later, Laifu's intestines were dragged out and he still protected me and refused to run. Until the end, he couldn't stand still, and he still bit a dog's neck and didn't let go. The blood flowed all over the floor."

"Uncle, why does it protect you?" I couldn't help asking.

"Hey, I think it may be because it still remembers that half bowl of sheep**."

"What sheep**?" I asked.

The old man used his long nails to extinguish the cigarette butts. "That spring, when I was grazing sheep, I met Lai Fu lying under the haystack by the well. He couldn't get up anymore. I was so hungry. I secretly squeezed half a bowl of sheep for it to drink, and it remembered it. It still remembered half a bowl of sheep**. It is such a good dog. It saved my life at the critical moment. Sometimes this dog is more affectionate than humans. If you treat it, it will never forget it."

"What happened to Lai Fu later?" Until now, I no longer simply care about the "dragon". I began to care about the fate of this righteous dog.

"What else can you do? I'll die. Those dogs bit Laifu to death and came to me with grinning teeth. Later, they all ran away with their tails. I was wondering, but I felt a gust of wind beside me, and a black shadow went towards my sheep. When I calmed down, I saw the dragon, and there was still one of my sheep in my mouth. The pillar was so scared that it fell from the tree with a "wow". All my sheep were shocked and they were kneeling and motionless."

"What does the dragon look like?" I asked.

"It's about the same as a long worm. But it's big, it's so big. I was trampled at that time. I don't know how long it is. It can be so thick." The old man used his hand to draw. "It's thicker than a bucket, greener, and shining brightly all over his body. I don't know how old he has lived, and there is a big red crown on his head."

"Do you have claws?" I asked the details

"I didn't see any claws. I was wearing them at that time, but there was no upper half anyway." The old man started to roll cigarettes by himself. I took out the cigarette box, and when I saw it empty, I pinched it flat and threw it away.

"What happened later? Did it bit you?"

"No, I just looked at it straight and straight. It bit the sheep and didn't look at me. The two eyes were white, similar to the color of a stone egg. I don't know how long it took, and then I left with a "huh" and you just saw the tree in the distance and split it to the sides. That force was not ordinary.

"What's next?" I still feel unsatisfied

"Later, I came to my senses and went to support the pillar. His leg broke and he peeded, and I peed, too. I helped him and beat the sheep and went back to the village. We said we had met a dragon, but the adults didn't believe it. My father asked several adults in the village to go up the mountain to find sheep together. I didn't let them go. They thought we had to lie and insisted on going, but I had no choice but to ask them to bury it when they saw Lai Fu, and my father slapped me and said he would bury me after he came back." The old lady and I laughed. "What happened later?" I was still not satisfied.

"There was nothing later. My father and the others came back when it was dark and didn't look for sheep. However, they buried it after finding Lai Fu. They didn't hit me after they came back. They just had a gloomy face and told me not to go to Dongshan again in the future."

"When will your father's face not be gloomy?" The old lady jumped out from the side. I guess the relationship between father-in-law and daughter-in-law was not very good when she was young.

"When your father died, he was not gloomy." The old man was not a good man.

Seeing that the situation was not good, I asked nothing to say, "What else?"

The old man thought for a long time, "It's nothing, it's from that point on that, the old man urinated on the kang, and it didn't heal slowly until she passed the door. It was so scary, all of them were scared."

"Have anyone else seen it again in the future?" I would like to know more.

"No, I haven't heard of anyone seeing it again. Later, the Japanese devils came and sealed the mountain. ** beat the devils away, and then you beat the devils away."

I don't have the nerve to correct his name "**". Just call him whatever he wants. Anyway, I just need to know it's the Kuomintang.

At this time, the old lady who had not spoken much said, "I haven't seen it before? I haven't seen it before, why are Hu Sanwang crazy?"

"Who is Hu Sanwang?" I asked.

The old man rolled a dry tobacco for me, pinched off his mouth, and handed it to me. I lit a sip and choked it to death. It was so powerful.

"Hu Sanwang is a fisherman in my village, and I am the family." Oh, I only learned that the old man's surname is Hu until now.

The old man then rolled one for himself, and then began to say: "Hu Sanwang's original name is Hu Kunshan. He is very good at fishing. He will definitely catch fish by scattering three times a day. After a long time, no one called him the name, but he called Hu Sanwang.

After more than six years of natural disasters, people were hungry. Three Nets couldn't stand others starving. Besides, they had six children to support them, so they cast nets in the river every day. After catching fish, they left some of them, and most of them were distributed to the people in the village. At the beginning of those years, they were fine, but later they couldn't catch anything. They remembered that there was a small lake in Dongshan, saying that no one had gone there for so many years, so there must be a lot of fish. So they jumped into your army, and there was no electricity at that time."

I smiled and said nothing. I could see that our troops circled the mountains, and the local people still had some opinions.

"He didn't dare to go during the day, for fear of being caught and shot, so he went tonight."

I smiled bitterly and shook my head. I jumped into the wall and caught a fish and shot it. It was even more exaggerated than stealing a cabbage and bombarding it with a cannon.

"As a result, in the middle of the night, he was screaming and returning to the village. When we came out, he was naked, and he didn't know where to take off his clothes. He was still holding half of his clothes in his hand. He knelt at the entrance of the village and kowtowed to the east mountain, saying that he had caught too many fish and had committed crimes. The Dragon King asked the Lord to punish him and would never dare to do anything again. We sent him home, and the next day he went crazy. When he heard others say fish or dragon, he became sick. Although he was crazy, everyone still missed his good deeds, and he drank one bowl at a time. Besides, life was better than in previous years. So his family did not starve to death.

Just as I was about to touch, I suddenly heard a familiar sound of horns.

"Young man, your army is blowing the sleeping horn." The old man is so old that his ears are quite good.

When I heard it again, I was really out of the lights, so I quickly said goodbye to the old man, asked them to take good care of my dog ​​again, and ran back in a hurry.

I lay on the bed, and read the words of the two old men at night, and found that there were three more gains.

1. Now I can almost certain that I encountered a "dragon" in the tomb of Dongshan a few days ago. Even if it is not a dragon, it should be a snake-shaped animal that has lived for some years. However, it is not a python. First of all, the climate in the north is not suitable for python survival, and the two pythons will not have crowns! Also, it has no record of intentional injury.

2. Good intentions will be rewarded, whether it is for humans or animals!

3. Marriage can cure urination!
