Chapter 31 third chapter

In the frightening silence, I heard the rustling sound of my grandfather's black blood rapidly seeping down on the square brick floor, like a group of small silkworms eating mulberry leaves. The image of my second aunt with two guns and wearing a gorilla felt cloak, and the scene of the battle twenty years ago that my father told me, played back and forth in my head like a foreign film.The grandma howled as if she had just woken up from a dream, and then threw herself on her husband's body, trying to block the bleeding holes with her hands.She has too few fingers, and Grandpa has too many holes in his body, so her efforts are in vain.She stood up holding two bloody hands, baring her two rows of white porcelain teeth that were hard and white from chewing thatch. She looked ferocious, like an old wolf.She cut her teeth and cursed, "You webbed toads!"

Tian looked around and said with a smile: "Is she scolding us?" Said: "To scold us is to scold herself." Heaven said: "Extremely true, because we are her grandchildren." Said: "Kill her, lest she ramble." The sky said: "Hurry up tomorrow, it is not appropriate to kill women tonight." The eldest grandma cursed, went to the back room, and closed the door behind her.There was the sound of rummaging through boxes in the house. The sky said, "Will she hang herself?" Said: "If you hang yourself, you will cut her two hundred knives."

"How can two hundred knives be enough?" "Then cut three hundred knives." Just as Tianhedi was talking, the door of the room was pushed open, and the grandma who was holding two bombs rushed out. She smiled sharply and said, "Bastards, let's go together!" When a bomb is touched hard, it waits to catch fire and explode. "Bomb!" Tiangao yelled, rushing out the door. Immediately rushed out. My fifteen uncles also swarmed out of the house, and taking advantage of the commotion, they ran back to their own homes. The last ones left in the house were my dumb brother De Gao, my blind brother De Zhong, and me, De Jian.I also couldn't figure out why I didn't run, and I didn't have the slightest fear of the two black iron lumps that the grandma was holding in her hands.

Brother De Chong pounded the ground with the iron-covered horse pole on his head, and asked impatiently, "What are you doing? What are you doing?" I said: "Grandma is going to throw a bomb!" De Zhong said: "Fart! The bomb that has been placed for twenty years has already stinks, and it can't be burned with fire!" After hearing Dezhong's words, the eldest grandma dropped the bomb, sat down on the ground, and began to cry. Tianhedi walked in.Tian giggled, pulled De Gao's ears, pinched De Zhong's nose, patted the top of my head, and said happily: "Cousins, it's so brave to compete one by one, let's have fun together! "

The land is not as friendly to us as the sky, and I don't like this vicious guy who shot and killed Grandpa.But I have to admit that there is an indescribable charm in this guy that attracts me. Grandma bent down and bumped into her, trying to fight the sky.As soon as he stretched his legs, he tripped her and gnawed on a brick. Stepping on her spine, said: "Kill it!" Heaven said, "Tie her up." The sky said to me: "You go find a rope." I grew up in my grandma's house, and I know everything in her house like the palm of my hand. I know that there are more than a dozen high-quality hemp ropes in the hole behind the door, and I can drag them out with my hands, but if I really do it, I can't help but hesitate, because the grandma has never been stingy with me, I am chewing her lemongrass grown up child.

"You don't want to work with us?" Tian still said with a smile. He took out a pack of cigarettes with his hands wearing white silk gloves, smoked one, and lit a match.His gloved hands were extremely flexible, and I suddenly recalled the slippery feeling when he touched the top of my head with his hands just now.A thought flashed through my mind: Do they have those pink webs between their fingers? "It doesn't matter if you don't want to do it, just go home." Tian said, smoking a cigarette chicly, two puffs of white smoke came out of his nostrils.He ran his fingers through his curly yellow hair and said, "You can leave us now and go home."

At this time, my dumb brother De Gao was already looking for the rope.He is deaf and dumb, but has a comprehension ability beyond ordinary people.Seeing that Degao was about to drag the rope out of the door opening.I know that if I do that, I will forever lose the opportunity to follow these two charming cousins. I know that even if I work ten times harder, it will be difficult to win the favor of my cousins. Cousin dear; everything is good, not as good as cousin, when the mute opened the door, I rushed up with a small stride and dragged out the bundle of fine hemp rope. "Okay!" Tian said, clapping his hands, "Excellent!"

When he clapped his hands, he made a "chi chi chi chi" sound, as if his palms were covered with water. "Tie her up," said Heaven. Carefully lifted the foot on the back of the grandma, squinting at us.He doesn't smoke rolls.He took out an emerald green nose pot from his pocket, poured a pinch into the palm of his hand, rubbed it into his nostrils with his thumb, squeezed his nose to make eyes, and hit a loud "ah-chirp".I noticed that the thumb and the palm of his white gloves were yellow. Grandma was on all fours, lying on the ground, motionless, like a trampled toad.

De Gao and I were face to face, eye to eye.I couldn't guess what message his two rolling golden eyes were conveying to me.Looking up at the sky, the sky smiled at me.There is such a big difference between the imposing cousin and the grandma lying on the ground like a dead toad, even if she is my own grandma, there is no reason to hesitate.Bundle, tie up this old thing! I stooped down resolutely and pinched one of Grandma's arms. The grandma turned over and sat up, without resisting or swearing, she just stared at me with her two toad-like eyes, which made me startled, my heart was cold, and some bumps were raised on my skin, as if I had also changed became a toad.I let go of my hand and muttered, "She...she looked at me..."

He quickly took off a horn-handled small knife from his belt, threw it in front of Degao and me, and said viciously: "Pull out her eyes, what will she think of you!" I dare not pick up that knife.I would rather suffer her toad-eyed stare and tie her up than goug out the eyes of a living person.I twisted the grandma's arm and signaled Degao to tie it up.He yelled "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh". So I let go again.The mute stepped forward, swung his fat feet, and aimed at the grandma's waist and eyes all at once.This stupid bear knocked Grandma unconscious with just one kick.Then he pinned the two arms of the grandmother, twitched the rope, and tied them up alone.Only then did I understand what he meant.It turns out that this dumb thing wants to covet the sky and take it as its own.I squeezed up to help, but couldn't let this kid's trick succeed, so I dragged me to the side and said, "Let him tie you up, and you goug out your eyes."

I picked up the knife tremblingly and broke off the blade. I felt a chill invade my body, and knew that it was an extremely sharp tool, and no blood would be left on the killing blade. Degao tied up Grandma.Throwing the rest of the rope onto the beam, and pulling it hard, forced the grandma who had been softened into a puddle of mud to stand upright.Grandma's head was limply on her shoulders, and I guessed she was dead. The sky urges me with his smile, and the earth urges me with his sinister smile.Grandma, I'm going to fight for something more precious than your eyes.Only by plucking out your eyes can I prove my bravery and loyalty.I made up my mind and raised my small knife. At this moment, the blind Dezhong, who had been hiding in the corner and kept silent, said loudly, "Brother Dejian, don't do anything, let me do it, let me gouge out the eyes of this old bastard." I said firmly: "No, this is the task assigned to me by my cousin!" He pressed the square brick with a horse pole, and said grimly: "Let me gouge it out! You people with eyes, how do you know the hatred in my heart!" Leaning on a horse pole, he walked up to me accurately, and stretched out a pale hand with slender fingers.Feeling that I had no strength against his will, I handed him the small knife with the handle wet with sweat from my hands. The blind man walked up to the grandma with big strides as if he had eyes.He put the horse pole against the wall, stretched out his left hand, and grabbed Grandma's hair, making her swollen face look up. His right hand, holding the knife, moved closer to Grandma's eye sockets, and the tip of the knife was slightly The feeling of the blind man is accurately conveyed, so that he can operate correctly.I saw the small knife swimming around the eye socket of the grandma like a small whitebait, and then I picked up the tip of the knife, and a round black bead jumped out of the eye socket.Using the same quick technique, he dug out the other eyeball of the grandma.The eyes of the poor grandma turned into two bloody holes in an instant. "Blind man, you didn't do a bad job!" He nodded approvingly. During the process of the blind man digging out his eyes, she didn't make a sound.As long as a living person is subjected to such torture, even if his will is as strong as iron, he will not be able to keep silent.Therefore, I concluded that the grandma was kicked to death by the mute before she went out.How brave is it to goug out the eyes of a dead man?The sky is so cheap, but it was picked up by the blind man.I am very frustrated.Tian seemed to see through my thoughts, and said in a comforting tone: "Little old cousin, don't be depressed, isn't it easy to goug your eyes?" But the fact is not the same as I imagined.The eldest grandma did not die. Early the next morning, she woke us up with her screaming and scolding. We three brothers didn't sleep that night, just like the sky and the earth, we slept next to the haystack on the west side of the grandfather's house, which was originally the old dog's territory, but the murderous spirit on our bodies scared the old dog long ago Ran.We pulled the hay, spread it on the ground, and fell asleep. This kind of barbaric sleeping in the open is very stimulating, breathing a lot of fresh air, stretching your arms and legs without any hindrance, relaxed and harmonious, which is very beneficial to your health.I feel that there will be infinitely bright prospects in doing things with the two cousins.My performance was not good enough, I should perform well tomorrow. Grandma howled in the sunlight.I wondered why she dared to live, and I wondered if some wild ghost had possessed her. Tianhedi jumped up at the same time, completely ignoring the grandma's ghostly crying and howling, and led the three of us to the river, washed our faces, rinsed our mouths, plunged our mouths into the river, and gulped our fill. When I walked, the water slammed in my stomach, which was also a new feeling. Tianhedi didn't mention breakfast, so we didn't dare to ask. Tianhedi commanded us to cut off the head of the grandpa and rinse it in the river.There is also a delicate horn comb in the sky, which combs the beard on the grandfather's chin smoothly.Then put it upright in the middle of the bridgehead, so that everyone who walks on the stone bridge can see it. When the sun was red, the sky ordered us to take Grandma to the bridgehead.Grandma refused to leave, so we found a pole, put it between her arms that were cut backwards, and lifted her over. It was the market day, and the people from other villages didn't know that something happened to the housekeeper at the bridge head, so they came to the market as usual.Whether it is carrying a load or carrying a basket, as soon as they approach the bridge, they will scream, jump, and turn around to run.Grandpa's head scared them out of their wits.At this time, the sky and the earth roared: "Stop, there is nowhere to run!" We have snatched a steelyard and a knife for cutting meat from the basket of the first butcher who sold pork.We made the butcher cut flesh from the great grandmother who was tied to the horse posts of the bridgehead.The butcher was a tough man, and he resisted a little when we robbed him of his belongings.Tian stretched out his white-gloved hand and touched the top of his bald head, and the old guy shrank all of a sudden.He stammered, "Grandfathers, I don't want scales, and I don't want knives anymore. Two hundred catties of pork count as the military rations I gave you. I just ask you to let me go." Tian smiled and said, "I want to test your ability," he pointed at the yelling grandma, and continued, "We have sentenced this old woman to Ling Chi, and I want you to cut four taels of flesh from her with one knife. , If you cut too much, we will cut your flesh, if you cut too little, you will cut it from the old woman again, until you have four taels of meat." The butcher quickly knelt down and kowtowed.His head hit the bridge stone loudly. He begged: "Grandfathers, please forgive me. I am a pig butcher. I can cut pork but not human flesh." Heaven said: "Don't be too modest. Pigs and humans are both mammals. If you can kill pigs, you can kill people. If you know how to cut pork, there is no reason why you can't cut human flesh. The problem is that you haven't understood the Tao clearly. You always think People cannot be killed, in fact, this is an old prejudice. People are born to be killed, if you don’t kill her, I will kill you.” He said angrily, "Why are you talking so much with him?" He grabbed the butcher's knife and sharpened it several times on the stone pillar at the end of the bridge, making some "cracking" sounds.Then, he tapped the butcher's bald head with the back of his knife and asked, "Shall I cut it?" The butcher shrank from being hit by the back of the knife, his body was wrinkled, like a silkworm that had exhausted its silk and was turning into a chrysalis.He stiffened his tongue and lips and said, "I will cut, I will cut." We saw the butcher touched the knife he was used to, his fingers trembled, his arms trembled, and even his eyes trembled. He cried, took a step, and moved his body sideways, and finally moved in front of the grandma.The grandma whose eyes have been gouged out is scarier than a ghost.The blood from the two black holes flowed all the way to her legs, exuding a cold, stench.As soon as the butcher's hand touched the grandma's body, she let out a strange, hair-raising cry.Once again, I felt that the grandma had long since died, and the one who was attached to her body and making strange noises was a goblin.I even wanted to tell the butcher how I felt, and let him boldly lower the knife. After this thing is done, we should also find something to fill our stomachs.I was really hungry, and I also felt that the tricks played by the two cousins ​​were a bit boring.The butcher suddenly dropped the knife, turned around and ran away.From his running posture, I felt that he seemed to be trapped by a demon. He must have used all his strength to try to escape from this place of right and wrong, but his speed was like maggots crawling. Tian sighed, and said: "Dead wood cannot be carved. It's something that doesn't live up to expectations." The ground didn't allow the sky's voice to dissipate, so he used one hand to straighten the flower mechanism on his chest, snap, snap, and shoot the butcher down on the bridge.The butcher twitched into a ball, rolled a few times, and fell into the river. Then those who came to the market, some were forced to cut off the big grandmother’s flesh, and some wanted to escape when they couldn’t do it—the escapers all ended up like the butchers—and some were scared to death on the spot—although everyone’s manifestations were different. But there is one thing in common, and that is - fear.There is only one exception, a middle-aged woman with a bamboo basket on her arm.When she walked onto the bridge, the blood on the bridge had flowed into a stream.The bad news on the bridge has spread rapidly, and no one dares to look for Motou.Therefore, when she swaggered over on the blood, we respected her very much.Tian still stopped her with a smile on his face, and said, "Auntie, if you want to cross the bridge, cut her four ounces first. This is the rule." She pursed her lips and smiled, two dimples as big as apricots appeared on her cheeks.She has bright eyes and white teeth, black hair and long neck. Although she is nearly middle-aged, she is still full of charm. Compared with the sisters in our family, she has a different scenery.She said loudly: "Children, what a good idea!" Heaven said: "The best is yet to come." "I'll wait and see," she said. Said: "Don't grind your teeth with us." She stretched out her clean hands and said, "Cut it for me, don't dirty my hands." Said: "Don't play tricks." She said: "Children, do I really want my mother to do it?" Said: "Look at your skills." She handed me the basket and asked me to carry it for her.Stretching out a few fingers, he squeezed out a fresh lotus leaf from the basket and wrapped it around the handle of the butcher's knife covered in dirty blood.In a blink of an eye, a piece of meat was unscrewed from the eldest grandma, picked up with the tip of a knife, and said: "Children, weigh it." He hung the piece of meat on the scale hook, weighed it, and said in admiration: "It really is a good knife technique, exactly four liang." She said: "Wrap the meat for me, take it home and make dumplings." He grabbed a lotus leaf from the basket, wrapped the four taels of meat, and threw it back into the basket. She took the basket and said, "Your game is not new." Tian said: "We know this game is not new, we are just following my mother's order." The middle-aged woman left.Tian yawned and said, "It's boring, it's so boring."
