Chapter 36 Chapter Thirty-Six

(... At this time, I saw the rotten head running in a panic, as well as Cuihua and Fugui, who barked on the other side.) When I returned to Zhoucheng, Zhoucheng's "Regulations on Ecological Environment Protection in Shangzhou Area" was officially promulgated. People from the Ecological Environment Protection Committee led a large number of volunteers to set up booths in the streets and alleys to promote it.I reported to the commissioner about the filming work of more than 20 days, I can't lie, I told everything truthfully.The commissioner was furious, and in front of my face, he called the relevant department and suggested revoking my uncle's qualification as a member of the Ecological and Environmental Protection Committee, and ordered someone to investigate.The commissioner was so ruthless, I became worried for my uncle, but I didn't protect or justify my uncle's behavior of hunting and killing wolves, but I complained that at this time, the Chu government could not release new wolf species, but the commissioner said, No new wolves were released.

It can be said that the commissioner thinks highly of me, and he expects me to contribute to the ecological environment of Shangzhou area, but the result is just the opposite.The commissioner was embarrassed, and I was even more embarrassed. Although he asked the secretary to take me to live in a hotel, I would lose face and continue to stay in Shangzhou.To the commissioner, to the uncle, to the wolf, I am a broom star.When I returned to the provincial capital, I couldn't explain to the unit leaders what I had been doing for so long, so I was punished for being free and slack and not returning as scheduled to delay work.I was in a very bad mood. I had a quarrel with my comrades at work, and I went for a walk on the street alone. I walked up and down the overpass on North Street. I found a policeman who had been staring at me, and then he approached me. He asked me to show my ID card and work card, and my documents were complete. He said: What are you doing so late?He identified me as a suspect in petty theft.I walked off the overpass, and suddenly a coquettish woman ghostly appeared in the grove by the side of the road, and asked: Sir, do you want to buy a bed?I said: What is wooden?The woman walked away with a snort, and she seemed to scold me.God, she is treating me like a client!I hurried into a taxi and said loudly to the driver: I can drive wherever I want, and I will pay double the fare for you!The taxi came running, and the driveway was full of bicycles. No matter how hard you honk, it would not give way. Before the driver could curse, I stuck my head out of the car window and spit on the cyclist's face.As a result, the cyclist wanted to hail a taxi. Although the taxi managed to squeeze away in the crowd, a brick flew over and broke the window glass, and another stinky shoe came in through the glass hole and hit the ground. On my nose, I paid the taxi money for the glass.When I got home, I told my wife what happened on the street, hoping that my wife could comfort me, but my wife also complained that I was on a business trip and came back with a weird temper. I deserved to be injured and paid for it. Why did I spit on others? ?I became angry again, clamoring that everyone in the world is plotting against me, even my wife? !

"Look how fierce you are, are you a wolf?" said the wife. "I'm a wolf, what's the matter, what's the matter if I'm a wolf?!" My wife looked at me in surprise, and suddenly her hands and feet panicked. She touched my forehead with her hands, opened my eyelids, looked at me, and went to make a call. Shout into the microphone: send an ambulance, send an ambulance!I went over and tore off the phone line, and shouted: "Who is sick? Who is sick?!" She hugged me all at once, with tears streaming down her face, but she comforted me: "You are not sick, how about Ziming? Is there any illness? No illness, no illness!" I pushed her away, got into the bedroom, slammed the door, and silently looked at the pile of pictures of living and dead wolves I had taken, and The wolf skin that was already hanging on the wall calmed down, and Ranya was surprised by my behavior. Did my temper really change? After dealing with wolves for more than 20 days, those dead wolves Is the soul attached to me?At night, I often have nightmares, I can't tell whether it is in the dream, I always feel that I was a wolf in my previous life, and I may become a wolf in my next life.When he woke up, he just sat there in a daze.My wife and I haven't had sex for a week, and we even sleep on the same bed, each sleeping in its own quilt, and I spread the wolf skin that my uncle gave me.But a few nights, I was woken up by my wife shaking me, and I was sweating profusely when I woke up. My wife asked me what was wrong?My wife said that she was already asleep and heard me panting loudly. When I opened my eyes to see, half of my body was outside the bed, and half of my body was lying on the edge of the bed. Dou, with his eyes closed, said: I won't leave, I won't leave!My wife’s words reminded me vaguely that I was fighting with a wolf for the fur on the bed in my dream. occupied.

"Really?" I said, "I had a nightmare?" I hate to tell her everything, but I do feel the fear.I started to tell my friends stories. I told two stories. One was about Wufeng carrying pigs on a motorcycle for breeding. Of course, I omitted the wolf content. I just said that there was a man named Wufeng. There was a sow at home, and the sow could not find peace at night, so Wufeng thought the pig was in heat and it was time to take it to the breeding station for breeding.Wufeng's family doesn't have a rack car, and he thinks it takes time to drive pigs. He has an old motorcycle, so he puts the pig on the back seat. The sow can sit on the back seat, but the sow sits on the back seat In order to be decent, Wufeng put a raincoat on the sow, as if sitting alone, and went to the breeding station.After the mating came back, the sows had been peaceful for three nights, and kept moaning on the fourth night. As soon as the sun was bright, they dressed up and carried them to the mating. After returning home, they had been quiet all night before humming again, which was annoying. Wufeng said, don’t hum Yes, I'll match you tomorrow morning!At dawn, I went to the pigsty to pull pigs, but the sow was gone. Looking back, the sow had already put on her raincoat and was already sitting on the back seat of the motorcycle.Think about it, what a sow looks like sitting on a motorcycle and wearing a raincoat, with a fat body and small feet.The second story, I am telling the story told by the old man in Shenglongzhai: the old man is an old revolutionary, from northern Shaanxi, and his nasal voice is very strong when he speaks. There is such a buzzing sound. The old man said that on the first day, the enemy Put me on the tiger stool, I didn't say anything.The next day, the enemy poured hot pepper water on me, but I didn't say anything.On the third day, the enemy nailed bamboo sticks to me and pulled out my fingernails one by one, but I still didn't say anything.On the fourth day, the enemy sent me a big beauty, and I told everything.On the fifth day, I still wanted to say something, but the enemy killed me.

"It's interesting," I said to my friend, "It will be interesting if you think about it later!" "You've said that five times, man," said the friend, "It's no fun to fart three times!" But I feel like I'm dead too. I was dead, but I was still alive. Three months later, the Provincial People’s Congress was held, and I went to interview with my camera on my back. What a coincidence, I met the commissioner of the Shangzhou Administrative Office in the corridor of the hotel where the representatives lived. , He told me a piece of news: Uncle has become a werewolf.

"Human wolf, do people turn into wolves?" "There was such a report in a foreign country," the commissioner said. "I read that report before and thought it was a fabricated anecdote. I didn't expect your uncle and the others to become human wolves! Of course they are human, but they have the habits of wolves. His appearance gradually took on the characteristics of a wolf, especially your uncle." "How did uncle change?" "I heard that he is not good at sex, but then he gained weight and looked like a giant panda. I only said that he is like a giant panda, but suddenly the teeth in his mouth grew out, and he began to wear less. Pants, I used a bamboo tube to cover my genitals, and the bamboo tube was tied with a rope, so that it was very high, and then gradually became a wolf. This may be a kind of suffering after being bitten by a wolf. Disease, it’s like being bitten by a mad dog and getting rabies, but except for your uncle, not all of them have been bitten by wolves!”

"them?" "The people in Xiong'erchuan are like this. They behave strangely, have a hot temper, usually don't speak much, but go crazy at every turn, bared their teeth and yelled, and don't trust anyone. Whenever outsiders pass by there, they will be treated by groups of them. Attacking, grabbing people's hands, feet, and biting any part of the body. No one dared to go there." "How did this happen?" I said, "How did you deal with my uncle?" "Recalling his previous achievements, the shotgun was confiscated and closed for fifteen days."

"It must be that my uncle is crazy because he can't figure it out, and the people in Xiongerchuan are also crazy for complaining about uncle." "If there is a law, it must be in accordance with the law! Even if they are crazy, they may not necessarily look like wolves? They have begun to grow hair on their faces, not beards, but hair, from the ears to the chin. Xiong Erchuan is now an adult. Shangzhou’s fear, but they are still human after all, you can’t arrest them all, or shoot them, the government is considering whether to block it as a restricted area.” "I see."

"you understood?" "Shangzhou needs such a restricted area." "What did you say?" I turned my head and walked away from the aisle to the stairs, tears streaming down my face.The commissioner didn't know why I suddenly walked away, he was still calling my name, and said: "Why did you leave? Fuck him, there are no wolves, but there are human wolves!" I ran straight down the stairs, He muttered to himself: Shangzhou no longer needs to release new wolf species. Shangzhou, how many beautiful stories I have written about Shangzhou, and many readers at home and abroad know about Shangzhou.The name Shangzhou is actually the name of this place in ancient times. The reason why I used this name for the first time was to prevent the local people from taking the right place in my story. But after Shangzhou became widely known to the outside world, the city of Zhou followed It was renamed Shangzhou City.For this, I am very pleased and proud.Of course, Shangzhou has given me a lot of rewards. My popularity has expanded. The party and government leaders and ordinary people in the whole region regard me as their business card. I was swaggered through the market by the subject matter as a core, together with the plots of historical figures and myths and legends.It is said that the person who played me was a three-year-old child, tied high on an iron frame, wearing a woolen overcoat and a peaked cap, and holding a stack of books written "The Story of Shangzhou" in his hand. Model.Because the child was tied to the iron frame early in the morning, and marched for a long time, he cried because he couldn't hold his urine. It’s not fluffy anymore, people will laugh when they cry!” The child stopped crying, but he pissed down, and the woolen coat was wet and the bed was wet.There have also been many readers from other places who have read the story of Shangzhou I wrote, yearning for it, and traveled thousands of miles to travel to Shangzhou at their own expense. After the trip, they came to the provincial capital and found me, saying that I lied to them: Where is Shangzhou? Rich and beautiful, isn't it just poor mountains and bad waters?I said, you lack affection, where in the world is there a son who doesn't think his mother is great?That being said, I do not regret my praise of Shangzhou. This may be a gene and a responsibility. I will continue to report what happened in Shangzhou.However, this time, I did not write a word or even mention the whole process of taking pictures of wolves in Shangzhou when I returned to the provincial capital.Now that the human-wolf incident happened in Xiongerchuan, how big it should be, it was not reported on the newspapers, radio, and TV in the whole province. After the commissioner told me, I didn't want to mention it lightly to anyone.This is really a sad and embarrassing thing. It can't help but irritate me, because I am one of the participants in such a consequence. If you don't say anything, you can survive one day, another day, huge pressure Finally, I was about to collapse, so I closed the doors and windows at home, and quietly told my wife who was estranged from me.My wife is also terrified. I found that she often observes me secretly. She must have suspected that there is something wrong with me in her heart. Although she didn’t say anything, she showed her affection for me. The degree of intimacy seems to be worse than before we had conflicts. Good, but I came back from get off work on the third day and found that the wolf skin that my uncle gave me was missing.

That day, Director Shi De from Shangzhou came to look for me at work. He was as thin as dry wood. My office is on the seventh floor. He said that he took a newspaper and sat down on the second floor for 20 minutes. It took nearly two hours to climb the seven floors.I was horrified by how weak he was. I asked him how he came to the provincial capital. Was his job transferred?He said that he sent Expert Huang to the mental hospital.I didn't say anything, I wanted to ask him if he knew about my uncle, but I didn't say anything.When I got home from get off work, I didn't see the wolf skin.

"Where's the wolf fur?" I asked my wife. "I buried it," she said. "How did you bury it?!" "Do you think it's okay to lure wolves into the house?" "Are you looking at me as a wolf too?" She put her arms around my neck all at once, with tears streaming down her face, and said, "You're not, you're not!" "But I need wolves!" I shouted hoarsely. She immediately covered my mouth with her hand, and closed the door and window very quickly, not wanting outsiders to hear.But I yelled, "But I need wolves! I need wolves—!"
