Chapter 8 Dog Tooth Rain/Golden Silk Rain 4

The Cheng family compound is usually lonely. Before Du Yuanchao came, the only person who could play with Caiqin in the Cheng family compound was Qiu Zidong, the son of Qiu Bancun. Qiu Bancun runs the largest wooden raft workshop in this area. Although there are not many fields, the wealth is comparable to that of Cheng Yaotian.The two families often walk around each other and have a very close relationship.Cheng Caiqin's mother seems to like the little boy Qiu Zidong very much.The child was clean-born, with thick hair, bright eyes, and a clever mouth.Sometimes, the Cheng family would keep Qiu Zidong for a few days.Qiu Zidong too

I am happy to stay in this compound and play with Caiqin all day long.The two little people would quarrel occasionally. When Qiu Zidong cried and wanted to go back to his home, Cheng Caiqin's mother and Bing's wife hurried over to persuade Caiqin, pretending to scold Caiqin severely.The two were a little unnatural for a while, and then they played together again.If Qiu Zidong was to stay in the Cheng family compound overnight, the Cheng family would send someone to pass the message to the Qiu family.When she was tired from playing and wanted to sleep, Caiqin would climb onto the bed first, patted the pillow with her hand and said to Qiu Zidong, "You sleep here, we both sleep on one side." The adults smiled and let them go.But Qiu Zidong has Qiu Zidong's family, so it is impossible to come to Cheng's family often.Once Qiu Zidong doesn't come to Cheng's house, Caiqin won't play in the field anymore, she will be hugged by Mrs. Bing all day, no matter how much Mrs. Bing coaxes her, she won't go down to the ground.

The arrival of Du Yuanchao made it impossible for Mrs. Bing to hug her.She really liked Du Yuanchao very much.With a sweet voice, she kept calling: "Little brother." The little brother Du Yuanchao seemed to be very considerate of her, giving way to her everywhere and never arguing with her.Their play is infinitely rich and colorful, and all things that are meaningless and meaningless in the eyes of adults have infinite meaning and significance in their eyes.An earthworm at the base of the wall, a magpie on a tree, or occasionally a bird's feather falling from the sky, will be repeatedly observed and imagined by them, and they can't say enough about it.They often squat in the corner or run in the house, saying many things that are inexplicable to the ears of adults.Many times, it was the two of them who huddled in corners where no one walked, chirping and chatting there. Although it was a game, it was serious.It seems that they are busier than anyone in Yau Ma Tei.The adults don't care too much, let them play, but Mrs. Bing sometimes comes over, pulls Caiqin to have a look, pats her butt lightly, and reprimands: "The clothes I just changed are dirty again!"

However, when Qiu Zidong came, Du Yuanchao couldn't let go of his play.Du Yuanchao was always a little afraid of Qiu Zidong, and whenever Qiu Zidong arrived before the sound came, he would immediately stop from the game with Caiqin.When Qiu Zidong, who was always well-dressed, ran to Caiqin like no one else and took her hand to play the game he wanted to play, Du Yuanchao would stand aside in embarrassment, and his hands and feet would immediately become stiff. Caiqin seems to like Qiu Zidong's arrival, and she will forget about Du Yuanchao for a while, and concentrate on the new round of play with Qiu Zidong. There, or when she and Qiu Zidong were playing in full swing, he had already walked out of the compound alone and silently, and went to the field to find his father Du Shaoyan.

At such times, Du Yuanchao would run violently as soon as he left the Cheng family compound.He crossed the alley and ran out into the fields at one breath, stopping only when the trees hid the town.Walking alone on the ridge of the field, with the lonely wind ringing in his ears, Du Yuanchao only wanted to see his father. After seeing his father, he still couldn't be happy, and his eyes stayed aside dully. It took a long time for Du Yuanchao to adapt to Qiu Zidong reluctantly.But Du Yuanchao felt oppressed all the time. During the play, Caiqin was sometimes closer to Qiu Zidong, and sometimes closer to Du Yuanchao.But once Qiu Zidong felt that Caiqin was intimate with Du Yuanchao, he either quit playing and went home, or pulled Caiqin away from Du Yuanchao, looking very domineering.At that time, Caiqin would turn her head around and look helplessly at the bewildered Du Yuanchao.

As long as there are three people playing together, Qiu Zidong must decide the content and method of playing, while Du Yuanchao will always be in the position of being ordered.Qiu Zidong was too much like Qiu Bancun—what Qiu Bancun had to do all day long was to manage the layout workers hired by him and the busy domestic helpers.Although Qiu Zidong was only five years old and a kid, his air and tone belonged to Qiu Bancun. Du Yuanchao listened to orders in silence, seldom defied Qiu Zidong's will, and always showed a flattering look. But for the other Yau Ma Tei children, no one could bully Du Yuanchao in front of Qiu Zidong.

Those children who were also afraid of Qiu Zidong didn't scold Qiu Zidong, but spit on the ground and scolded Du Yuanchao unscrupulously: "You little follower!" Go to the side, or follow closely behind Qiu Zidong's buttocks, looking like a dick.When the children saw him, they despised him even more, and three or two children would come up and either pull his hair, grab his arm, or kick him. He kicks.He was in a hurry, like a puppy, fluffing his fur, baring his teeth, purring in his throat, and rushed towards the children.Those children were hoping for this, so they had a reason to deal with him, so they hugged him, surrounded him, and attacked him non-stop.He fluttered here and there, not only did he not hit a single one, but he himself received countless punches and kicks.He is going to cry.At this time, Qiu Zidong, who was playing with Caiqin, would rush over, kick Du Yuanchao's ass, and shout, "Stay away!" forced past.When those children saw it, they retreated one after another, and smiled at him: "We didn't really want to beat him, we just teased him." Qiu Zidong waved his fist again as if warning, and dragged Du Yuanchao away.

Qiu Zidong is a young master, and the young master has the temper of a young master, even though he is only five years old now.One day, Qiu Zidong sent Du Yuanchao to move a stool so that he could stand on it and pick pomegranates from a pomegranate tree. Du Yuanchao was catching a butterfly for picking celery. He ignored him for a while, so he moved a stool by himself. He didn't want the stool to be missing a leg. As soon as he climbed up, he fell to the ground with the stool, and his mouth hit the brick, and a stream of blood immediately flowed out from the corner of his mouth.He grinned, but didn't cry out, but stared at Du Yuanchao angrily.

Du Yuanchao held the butterfly's wings with his hands and stood at the base of the wall. Qiu Zidong licked the blood on the corner of his mouth with his tongue, took out the chick, and then drew a circle on the ground with a soak of urine. He dragged him into the circle: "You can only come out when I let you out!" After speaking, he pulled Caiqin and walked out of the courtyard gate. Du Yuanchao stood blankly in the circle Qiu Zidong drew for him with his urine, but he really didn't dare to take a step. There is a locust tree in the yard. There are a few birds singing on the locust tree, but there are no birds.

Du Yuanchao raised his head and turned around in the circle, trying to see them, but in the end he couldn't see them——Standing in the circle and looking up, no matter how he looked, there were thick branches and leaves. The sun slid over the top of the tree and shone straight down. After a while, Du Yuanchao was drenched in sweat. Fan Yanhu came over: "This child, why is he standing still under the sun?" He came over, dragged Du Yuanchao under the shade of the tree, and went to his business. When Qiu Zidong and Caiqin came back from playing outside the courtyard, they saw Du Yuanchao walk out of his piss ring, snorted, turned and went home.

In the evening, when a group of children were playing in the alley, Qiu Zidong came.His pockets were bulging, and he didn't know what he was holding.The children moved out of the way to let him into the crowd.Qiu Zidong glanced at Du Yuanchao in the crowd, turned his face away, reached out his hand and took out a handful of brightly colored red dates from his pocket, then took one, and randomly stuffed it into a child's hand: "Here you are!" go down.When passing by Du Yuanchao, he elbowed Du Yuanchao away and continued to post.Sometimes, he stuffed dates directly into a child's mouth. The children ate the red dates given by Qiu Zidong and said, "It's delicious." Qiu Zidong grabbed another handful of red dates from another pocket, went straight to Caiqin, and gave them all to her. There was an exaggerated smacking sound in the alley. Qiu Zidong took out his pocket again, took out the last few red dates from the corner of the pocket, and threw it in front of the dogs.A child stooped to pick it up, and Qiu Zidong said, "It's for dogs." The dog may not eat the red dates, but seeing the children eating them with relish, he ran away with the red dates in his mouth. Du Yuanchao stood there, looking at the children eating red dates, twisting a corner of their clothes with their hands, with an ugly expression on his face. Caiqin saw Du Yuanchao and walked towards him. Qiu Zidong grabbed Caiqin's hand and said to all the children: "Let's go, let's go play by the river!" Crashing, the children ran to the river. Caiqin looked back at the lonely Du Yuanchao, then let go of her little hand and dropped all the red dates in her hand on the ground. The alley was empty, and the wind blowing from the entrance of the alley was rattling. Du Yuanchao stood there for an unknown amount of time, then turned around, lowered his head, walked along the base of the wall in a daze to the field, walked to the small shack where his father watched the windmill, and sat down on the ground without saying a word, with his head lowered into his crotch.While busy, Du Shaoyan said: "Just don't play with him in the future." After that, Du Yuanchao obeyed his father's words, and when he saw Qiu Zidong coming, he would immediately leave Caiqin and walk away. In the absence of Du Yuanchao, Qiu Zidong felt that playing and games were very boring.He was very unhappy without Du Yuanchao to support and bully him.Du Yuanchao's avoidance made him very annoyed.He asked the other children to call Du Yuanchao. At that time, Du Yuanchao was in the field, watching a small toad lying comfortably on top of a big toad with its eyes closed, or looking into the sky. The two dragonflies are skillfully and gracefully combined, flying in the air like a small sailboat.After hearing what the child said, he didn't answer.The child with the mission said: "Qiu Zidong asked you to play!" Du Yuanchao glanced at the child, still paying attention to the scene in front of him.The child couldn't call Du Yuanchao, so he went back to Qiu Zidong and said, "He won't come!" He asked a child to call him several times, but the result was the same several times, and Qiu Zidong was very unhappy.When Du Yuanchao ignored him again and just wandered alone in the fields, Qiu Zidong found two very aggressive older children in Yau Ma Tei and said, "You go ask him to play with me! The two older children asked: "Why doesn't he come?" Qiu Zidong stuffed a handful of candy into each of their hands: "Anyway, let him come!" The two older children walked to the field while sipping candies When I saw Du Yuanchao, I shouted from afar: "Qiu Zidong wants you to play!" Du Yuanchao was trying to use a branch to reach a lotus, but when he saw the two older children walking towards him, he put down the branch and walked towards the field. Walking in the depths—there is the thatched hut where the father guarded the windmill. When the two older children saw it, they ran over and chased Du Yuanchao: "Qiu Zidong let you play!" Du Yuanchao wanted to squeeze between the two older children who blocked the road. In the past, he was caught by the two older children: "Qiu Zidong let you play!" Du Yuanchao struggled, but he was not a match for the two older children. They dragged Du Yuanchao to the town with candy dripping Du Yuanchao was dragged on the ground pitifully like a dead dog. He called his father loudly, but Du Shaoyan was watching the windmill in the distance at the moment and could not hear his call at all. The town was getting closer and closer. At that time, Qiu Zidong Sitting on the ridge of a family's roof and looking at this side. Du Yuanchao became anxious, and suddenly bit the hand of one of the older children. The older child screamed "Oops" and let go of Du Yuanchao. Du Yuanchao took advantage of the situation Struggled out of the hands of another older child and ran away. The older child who was bitten looked at Du Yuanchao's fleeing figure, and at the same time let the other older child look at the purple and black tooth marks on his hand with a painful expression. They started Chasing Du Yuanchao in the field. Qiu Zidong on the ridge was like watching a play, which was very enjoyable. In the end, the two older boys forced Du Yuanchao to a newly dug pit. This is a tomb as deep as a person Mr. Liu Wu of the town passed away and was going to be buried this evening. The dozens of strong men who dug the pit had just evacuated from here. Du Yuanchao glanced at the long and narrow but deep pit, feeling a burst of fear, standing in a pile of fresh He looked around on the soil—how he wished to see his father! The two older children rushed over, his feet were covered in mud, slipped and fell into the pit. The two older children squatted by the edge of the pit, Looking down at him: "Who told you not to play with Qiu Zidong!" They looked back at the town and saw Qiu Zidong sitting high on the roof. It was going to rain, and the two older children teased Du Yuanchao a few times to their heart's content, and left. Du Yuanchao was like a little wolf who fell into a trap, jumping around trying to get out of the pit, but the pit was too deep, no matter how much he jumped, he couldn't get out, leaving countless scratch marks on the pit wall in vain.His nails were full of mud.One of the fingers was scratched by a tile, and the blood that flowed out left streaks of purple-red marks on the wall of the pit. He called, but no one heard him, but there was a rumbling thunder rolling over from the sky. He looked up at the sky in horror, the black clouds were like a tide, like a herd of beasts, rolling and surging.The teardrops are big and big, rolling down the bridge of the nose, like rainwater dripping from the eaves. The little wolf looked up to the sky and shouted. In the empty field, there was only the sound of the strong wind blowing through the weeds and trees.The voice was desolate, dry and harsh. After a while, his voice became hoarse. He kept digging the wall of the pit with his hands, trying to climb out of the tomb, but he kept slipping down.He whimpered hoarsely in his throat, he was like a wolf cub falling into a trap, a wolf cub calling for his father. It started to rain, a kind of rain called "dog teeth".The rain is not a trace, but a little bit, as if this When the rain was in the air, it was cut into small pieces by the scissors.Dog teeth all over the sky.Each one is very powerful, sharp and shiny.It can penetrate thin leaves and hit people's faces, making people feel numb.One after another, they fell evenly to the grassy land. When the dog's tooth fell into the grave, it made little holes in the mud. Ten thousand dog teeth and ten thousand pits. The dog's teeth fell into the little wolf's hair, like countless small stones hitting the head.The little wolf's head became a gourd.He heard a beep, beep, beep.He put his head in his hands. He called his father over and over again in his heart. The rainwater accumulated at the bottom of the pit soon submerged his feet. The dog teeth gradually became denser, as if they wanted to bite and devour everything on the ground. He started scratching the pit wall again and again, trying to struggle out.However, the walls of the pit were as slippery as oil, and he kept falling into the puddles at the bottom, turning into a little clay figurine. Qiu Zidong was no longer on the roof. Finally, the little wolf lost his strength, slid along the wall of the pit, and sat on the bottom of the pit, weeping faintly. The rain at the bottom of the pit kept rising, soaking his butt in the water after a while. He was a little sleepy, closed his eyes, lowered his head, and let the dog's teeth fall into the tomb, and let the rainwater rise in the tomb. He suddenly felt a chill in his chest, and when he opened his eyes, the water had already reached his chest. The scene of his mother's hair flicking leisurely in the water and then sinking suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.He jumped up immediately, and like a gecko, he pressed his body tightly against the wall of the pit. He looked up at the sky, only to see hungry dog ​​teeth, densely packed, gnawing on each other. Poor little wolf, trembling. At this moment, Du Shaoyan is looking for his son everywhere.However, the sound of wind and rain completely obscured his call. The dog's teeth gnawed at his flesh, and even more gnawed at his little soul. It was getting dark. He saw that the dog's teeth began to thin out and become larger, leaving countless fine pits on the ground, and the rain stopped. The sky turned out to be full of stars soon.The stars shone like frost in the grass. He slid down and finally sat in the water up to his neck. After supper the funeral procession set off from the town.More than a dozen lanterns are swaying in the field. When he was pulled out of the pit, his whole body was cold and his eyes were dull.Calling his father silently, he staggered towards the hut where his father guarded the windmill...
