Chapter 8 Chapter Six

Chapter Six one There is a second uncle in my family who has a really weird temperament. If you don't give him something to eat, he will scold you.If you send it up to him, he will say, "Your uncle won't eat this, so you can eat it!" The family bought groundnuts, frozen pears, etc. If they are not given to him, besides making him invisible, if he finds a little shadow, he will scold him: "Fuck... bastard... rabbit, Cats and dogs eat it, cockroaches and rats eat it, but no one eats it... Rabbits, rabbits..." If you send it to him, he will say: "Your uncle won't eat this, so you can eat it."

two Erbo has a really weird temperament, he likes to talk to the sparrows in the sky, and he likes to chat with the big yellow dog.As soon as he is with people, he doesn't say a word, and even if he has words, they are very strange, so that people often don't understand the point. In summer, when everyone was sitting in the yard to enjoy the cool after dinner, everyone would chat non-stop with gossip, and the talk was so lively that even the mosquitoes were buzzing, and even the toads in the distance were croaking.Only the second uncle sat silently.He held the fly slinger in his hand, and flicked it this way and that.

If someone asks him whether his fly slinger is horsehair or horsetail?He said: "Whoever plays with birds, Wu Dalang plays with ducks. Horse manes are expensive things, they are held by people in silk and satin, wisteria bracelets on their wrists, and big climbing fingers on their fingers. Who are they?" What are you playing with? Poor people, wild ghosts, don't overestimate your capabilities and let others laugh at you..." It is said that the big Pleiades in the sky is the lantern that the Stove Lord held in his hand when he was riding a donkey to the west. Because the donkey was running too fast, the lantern fell into the sky if he was not careful.I often asked my grandfather about this topic, saying why the lantern was dropped into the sky and stayed there forever, why didn't it fall to the ground?

I don't think my grandfather can answer this topic, but because I have to ask, my grandfather has to answer.He said, there is a lantern pole in the sky, and that is the height, and the Great Pleiades is on that lantern pole.And the lantern pole is invisible to human eyes. I said, "No, I don't believe..." I said, "There is no lantern pole. If there is, why can't I see it?" So the grandfather said again: "There is a thread in the sky, and the Great Pleiades is tied by that thread." I said, "I don't believe it. There is no thread in the sky. Why can't I see it?"

Grandpa said: "Is the thread thin? How can you see it? No one can see it." I asked my grandfather, "No one can see it, how can you see it?" The people who took advantage of the cool laughed and said I was amazing. So my grandfather was forced to talk about things, but he couldn't get it right.Seeing that my grandfather was forced to make nonsense by me When I got up, I also knew that he couldn't explain clearly.But the more I watched his nonsense, the more I pushed him. Later, even the fact that the Great Pleiades is the lantern of the Dragon Lord, I also overturned it.I asked my grandfather what the hell was the Great Pleiades?

When others saw that I was getting confused, someone with an idea asked me to ask my second uncle. I ran to the place where the second uncle was sitting, but before I asked, he gave me a fright as soon as I touched his fly slinger.He shook the fly and howled: "You child, go away..." I had to stand a little farther away, and I said, "Your uncle, what do you think is the Great Pleiades in the sky?" He didn't answer me right away. He seemed to think for a while before he said, "Poor people don't watch the sky. Dogs bite mice, cats watch the house, meddle in your own business."

I asked again, thinking he hadn't heard correctly: "Is the Great Pleiades the Dragon Lord's lantern?" He said: "Although your second uncle has eyes, he has never seen anything in his life. Although your second uncle has ears, he has never heard anything in his life. Your second uncle is deaf and blind. How can you say that?" ? For example, the bright and majestic big tile house, your second uncle also saw it, but what if he saw it, it belongs to others, and it is useless to see it.Listening is the same, so what if you hear it, it has nothing to do with you... Your second uncle is alive and it is irrelevant... The stars, the moon, wind, rain, those are the things of God, your second uncle doesn't know..."

There is a second uncle who is really weird. When he was walking, his foot kicked a brick, and the brick hurt his foot.He bent down very carefully to pick up the brick, and looked at the brick carefully, to see if the brick was neither thin nor fat, and whether it was pleasing to the eye. After reading it, he began to talk to the brick: "You boy, I think you have no eyes, and you are also blind like me. Otherwise, why did you bump into my feet? If you have the guts to bump into me, hit that bragging, wearing boots and shoes... You hit me for nothing, you can't bump into a big and a small, stinky mud Rolling stones, more and more smelly..."

After he finished talking with that brick, he just threw it away, and when he was about to throw it away, he gave it a last word: "Next time, touch that foot that wears shoes and socks." After he finished speaking, the brick fell to the ground with a clatter.It turned out that he didn't throw it very far, and the brick fell to the original place again. The second uncle was walking in the yard, and if the sparrows or swallows flying in the sky dropped a little dung on him, he would stop and stand there without leaving.He raised his head.He scolded the sparrow that had already flown past, to the effect that the sparrow should not have dropped its dung on him, but on the man in silk and satin.But scold the bird for being blind and blind.

But after dropping the dung so swiftly, the bird had already disappeared without a trace, so he cursed at the blue sky above his head. three When the second uncle talked, he said "this" as "jiege". "That person is good." "It's bad for me." "A man with a wolfish heart." "A thing is not a thing." "House sparrows also drop dung on their bodies, what year is it?" Four Also, there is a second uncle who does not eat mutton. Fives My grandfather said that my second uncle came to our house thirty years ago, when he was only in his thirties.

Now the second uncle is over sixty years old. His baby name was Yuko, and he was already in his sixties, and he was still called by his baby name.Grandfather told him to "have a son to do this." "Have a son to do that." We call him You Erbo. The old cook called him You Erye. He went to the houses and lands, and they told him to have a second owner. He went to Shaoguo on Beijie Street, and he was told to have a second shopkeeper. He went to the oil store to carry oil, and he was also called the second shopkeeper. He went to the butcher's shop to buy meat, and they also called him a second shopkeeper. As soon as he was called "Second Shopkeeper", he smiled all over his face.Telling him to have a second master, calling him to have a second master, and asking him to have a second uncle are all smiling. There is a second uncle who is most jealous of people calling him by his baby name. For example, the children on the street, who hate him, often throw a stone behind him, dig a handful of dust, and shout "Your son" and "Your son" in their mouths. " "Little child". Whenever the second uncle saw this opportunity, he would hit it immediately. If he had a fly slinger in his hand, he would use the slinger to hit it.If he had a pipe in his hand, he would hit it with a pipe pot. He was angry like an old hen, and his eyes were red with anger. When those naughty children saw him calling, they immediately said: "There is a second master, there is a second master, there is a second shopkeeper, and there is a second uncle." They raised their hands and bowed to him. When the second uncle saw them like this, he immediately smiled, stopped beating them, and went his own way. But he couldn't go far, and the children started arguing again from behind, something: "There is the second master, Master Rabbit." "There is a second uncle, hit the oar." "There are two masters, catch the big bastard." He was walking ahead, and the children were still shouting in the distance behind him.While shouting, he threw up the dust on the street, and the dust flew high for a while, creating a small whirlwind in the street. The second uncle didn't know if he heard this, but the children thought he did. There was a second uncle who was very solemn, and walked forward step by step calmly without even looking back. "There is a second master," the old cook would always say "There is a second master" and then "There is a second master" when he closed his mouth. "There is the second master's fly-slinger..." "There is Erye's pipe and pot..." "There is Erye's cigarette pouch..." "There is Erye's cigarette pouch..." "Second Master is eating..." "Second Master, it's raining..." "Second master, take a quick look, the dogs in the yard are fighting..." "There is Second Master, the cat is on the wall..." "Second Master, your fly has lost its hair..." "Second Master, there's sparrow droppings on the top of your straw hat..." The old cook always called him "the second master".Only when the two of them quarreled, the old cook said, "I think once you lose your 'Second Lord', all you have left is the word 'yes'." "Youzi" is almost the same as "Youzi", and Youerbo happened to be his baby name. So he scolded the old cook, he scolded him once, he scolded him twice.The more you scold, the louder your voice will be. Sometimes the two of them would fight. But after a while, the two of them got better as usual.Again: "There is the second master." "There is the second master." As soon as the old cook was happy, he said: "There is the second master, I see you have the word 'yes' on your head, isn't there only 'second master' left?" The second uncle then smiled again. His grandfather called him "you have a son", he was not angry, he said: "Speaking to the emperor, and calling himself a slave! There must be a size. The prime minister is not big, but he has to kneel when he sees the emperor. Above ten thousand people, under one man." It is very courageous to have Erbo, he is not afraid of anything.I asked him if he was afraid of wolves? He said: "What are you afraid of wolves? On the mountain, when your second uncle was young, he went up to the mountain to herd pigs, and there were wolves on the mountain." I asked him if he dared to take the dark road? He said: "There is nothing to be afraid of when you walk the dark road. You have nothing to be ashamed of, and you are not afraid of ghosts calling your door." I asked him, would he dare to cross the East Bridge alone at night? He said: "Why don't you dare, your second uncle is ashamed and dare not do anything else, dare to do anything else." A second uncle often said that when he ran away from Maozi (during the Russo-Japanese War), he was so bold that he ran away from the whole city and our house.The Maozi ran up and down the street with a big saber, riding on a horse. That was a lot of kills.When you see someone who closes the door, knock on it, knock on it, and kill if you catch someone.A second uncle said: "Maozi was running around on the street, the big horse's hooves were croaking, and I was cooking noodles for myself, when Maozi knocked on the door and shouted outside, 'Is there anyone inside? 'If someone opens the door quickly, if he doesn't open the door, he will use a knife to open the door, and if he opens the door to come in, it will be no good, he must be killed..." I asked, "You are afraid to have the second uncle?" He said, "Your uncle is cooking noodles in a pot of boiling water. The boy is knocking outside, and your second uncle is still eating noodles inside..." I still asked him: "Are you scary?" He said, "What are you afraid of?" I said, "That boy comes in, won't he kill you with a saber?" He said: "So what if you kill! Isn't it a life?" But whenever he and his grandfather settled accounts, he didn't say that.He said: "People are made of flesh! People are raised by parents! Who doesn't have internal organs. Don't be afraid, how can you not be afraid! I was also trembling with fright... Seeing that it was a big saber, I cut it off, One life is over." I asked him: "Didn't you say that you are not afraid?" At times like this, he scolded me: "You don't have a heart, go away! Don't be afraid, there are people who are not afraid..." For some reason, he became timid as soon as he mentioned the running boy to his grandfather, and the more he talked, the more afraid he became. Sometimes he even cried.Said that the big saber was shining brightly, and said that Maozi killed and hacked indiscriminately while riding on the horse. six The second uncle’s luggage was fragmented, and when his quilt was lifted, cotton flowed out from the corners of the quilt, and when his mattress was lifted, the pieces of felt that were laid on it looked like moving maps one by one. It seems that a province-by-province separatism has been opened. There was Erbo's pillow, which was filled with buckwheat husks. Whenever he swung the pillow, the stuffing leaked from the corner or the belly, and the buckwheat husks flowed out. There was a second uncle who took good care of his suit of luggage. When he was free, he would sew them with a needle. Sew pillows, sew felt sheets, sew quilts. I don't know why his things are so weak that the second uncle has to sew them once every three or two days. There was a second uncle whose hands were very thick, so he was holding a big needle, but he said he couldn't hold a needle that was too small.His needle is too big, facing the sun, like a silver hairpin on a woman's head. It was beautiful when he threaded the needle through the nose of the needle, he held the needle and thread high, opened one eye, closed the other eye, as if he was aiming, as if he saw something in the middle of the sky, he I want to take it quickly, but I am afraid that I may run away, and I want to study it for a while before taking it, but I am afraid that it will be gone after a while.So his hands trembled when he was anxious, which was beautiful. There is my uncle's luggage, and I roll it up when I sleep.After rolling it up, tie it with a rope.It looks like he's going on a trip every day. There is a second uncle who doesn’t have a definite place to live. Today he lives in the powder room with rattling shelves, tomorrow he lives on the top of the kang of the pig farmer’s family, and the day after tomorrow he may be the same as the one in the back mill. Feng Waizuizi slept on a kang.Anyway, he will sleep wherever he is free. He carried his luggage by himself, and when the old cook saw him carrying his luggage, he yelled, "There's Er Ye, I'm going to the market again..." The second uncle answered him from a distance: "Old Wang, I'm going to the market, do you have anything to bring?" So the second uncle went his own way again, and went to live in a convenient place in the house of the tenant. seven There was Erbo's straw hat with no brim, only a top. His face was scorched and black, and the top of his head was snow-white.The place where black and white are distinct is exactly where the straw hat was buttoned down and the skull was sliced ​​neatly.Every time he took off his hat, the top half was white and the bottom half was black.It's like the half of the pumpkin in the back garden is green when it is exposed to the sun, and the half that is in the shade is white. But when he put on the straw hat he was out of sight.The scale of his hat is very accurate, and once he puts it on, he cuts the brim of the hat very accurately on the black and white line.Neither high nor low, just right on that line.Occasionally, it is worn a little higher, but this kind of time is rare, and it is not noticed by people.That is between the straw hat and the skull, there seems to be a narrow white border, there is such a white line. Eight There is a second uncle who wears more than half of his clothes, neither long nor short, but knee-length clothes. The clothes are made of fish-blue bamboo cloth, with a square collar and a loose coat. Big sleeves, with hemp brass buttons on the chest. The clothes were originally second-hand goods from the Qing Dynasty, and they were pressed in the bottom of my grandfather's box. Once my grandmother died, they were worn on my second uncle's body one after another. So when the second uncle walked on the street, he didn't know which dynasty he was from. The old cook often said: "There is the second master, you take off your clothes and sleeves, the monk looks like a monk, and the Taoist looks like a Taoist." There was a second uncle who liked to roll up his trousers, so the farmers who plowed the fields saw him and thought he was a farmer, who must have just come back after transplanting rice seedlings. Nine There is Erbo's shoes, either the front is missing the bottom, or the back is missing the heel. He palmed the palm on the front and nailed the nails on the back. It seemed that the nails could not be nailed well, nor could the palm be palmed well. He procrastinates when he walks, otherwise he staggers.The sole of the front was dropped, and the mouth of the shoe was open. His feet were like tongues. Every time he took a step, he moved in the mouth. The heel was missing at the back. The soles of the shoes rattled. There was Erbo's feet, which could never leave the ground, and my mother said that his feet had hit the jackpot. The old cook said that the second uncle's foot was on the tripping lock. A second uncle himself said: "Your second uncle has hung up a stumbling block." The stumbling wire is the rope that hangs on the two feet when the person is dying.A second uncle talked about himself in this way. ten Although the second uncle pretended to be a monkey-playing monkey, a beggar who was not a beggar, but as soon as he left When he started walking, he was dignified and calm, his two heels were very powerful, making a loud noise on the ground, and he advanced slowly, like a general. As soon as the second uncle entered the grandfather's house, the black clock placed on the qin table and the pendulum inside the clock often rang for a while and then stopped. It turned out that the second uncle's footsteps were a little too heavy, hitting the floor like a big stone, making everything on the floor jump for a while. eleven I caught my second uncle stealing something. At the end of autumn, the big elm trees in the back garden also lost their leaves, and the garden was desolate, with nothing interesting to do. The wormwood growing in the front yard has also decayed and fell down. The various seedlings in the vegetable garden behind the house are completely covered with hoarfrost. The old elm tree has few leaves, but the autumn wind is still shaking it. . The sky is grey, and the clouds have lost their shape, like a basin that has been washed with an inkstone, some are deep and some are shallow, mixed with holes.Some of these clouds brought raindrops, and sometimes they brought fine snow. In this kind of weather, because I have nothing to play outside, I just played in the back room where the messy things were hidden. I climbed up to the roof where the old things were kept. I went up on the box, and I found a small glass jar, which was filled with black dates. When I was about to get down with the jar in my arms, I couldn't get down. When I just came up, the box I was on had Erbo standing there opening it. He didn't open it with a key, he opened it with a wire. I watched him drive a lot, he bit the little thing in his hand with his teeth... He tilted his head, biting so loudly.After biting it, I twisted it in my hand, and then touched it to the box to try it. He obviously didn't know that I was watching him from the roof of the shed. After he opened the box, he took off the straw hat with no brim, and pressed the little thing that had been bitten for a long time inside the top of the hat. He rummaged through the box several times, the red chair cushion, the blue coarse embroidered apron, the woman's embroidered shoes... There was also a mess of colorful silk threads, and a bright yellow copper wine bottle was lying on the bottom of the box. pot. The second uncle grabbed the embroidered shoes and the messy silk thread aside with his thick hands full of veins, and only grabbed the copper jug ​​out of the pile. He put the red cushion on the grand master's chair on the ground and tied it up with his belt.The brass flagon was placed on the lid of the chest, and the chest was locked. It looked as if he was going to go out with these things, but for some reason he didn't, and went out by himself. When I saw him go out, I quickly got on the box and got down. As soon as I came down, my second uncle came back again, which shocked me because I was stealing ink dates, and if my mother found out, she would definitely beat me.Usually, I secretly take out eggs, steamed buns, etc., and eat them with the children of the neighbors. When my second uncle sees them, he never fails to tell his mother. As soon as my mother finds out, she beats me. First he lifted the upholstery of the chair by the door, and then he came for the brass flagon that was covering the chest.When he lifted the skirt of his clothes and pressed the copper jug ​​against his stomach, he saw me standing in the corner. In front of his belly was a copper jug, and in front of my belly was a jar of black dates.He steals, and I steal too, so both sides are afraid. As soon as the second uncle saw me, he immediately sweated profusely on his head.He said, "Why don't you tell me?" "Say what……" "Don't tell me, good boy..." He patted the top of my head. "Then, let me take out this glazed jar." He said, "Never mind." He didn't stop me at all.I saw that he didn't stop me, so I grabbed four or five big steamed buns from the basket by the door and ran away. There is a second uncle who is still stealing rice from the grain warehouse, carrying it in a big bag, and carrying it to the grain and rice shop east of the bridge to sell it. The second uncle also stole all kinds of things, such as tin hot pots, big copper coins, cigarette holders... Anyway, if something was lost at home, the second uncle would say that the second uncle had stolen it.Some things were stolen by the old cook, so he relied on Uncle You. I secretly took out some things to play with, and I also relied on Uncle You.There is also a sickle head, for example, which is not lost at all, but has been forgotten. When it is used, if it is not found, it is said that the second uncle stole it. When my second uncle took me to the park, he didn't buy anything for me to eat.There are everything sold in the park, such as fried cakes, sesame oil cakes, tofu nao, and so on.He didn't buy any of it for me to eat. If I stood by the food stall for a while, he would say, "Let's go, go ahead." Going to the park is like hurrying, and he doesn't let me stop at a step. There are tricksters in the park, and there are bear and blind people playing tricks, beating gongs and drums, and it is very lively.And he won't let me see it.If I stopped for a while in front of the juggler, he would say, "Go quickly, go forward." I don't know why he keeps chasing me. When I got to a white cloth tent selling ice water, I saw two big brown bergamot soaked in the glass bottle. I had never seen this thing before, so I asked my uncle what it was? He said, "Go ahead, go ahead." It seemed that if I waited a little longer, people would come and beat me. When I came to the circus, there were shouting and singing, it was so lively, I had to go in and see it.The second uncle would definitely not go in, he said: "There is nothing to see..." He said, "If your second uncle doesn't look at it..." He added, "We're having dinner at home." He said again: "If you make trouble again, I will beat you." Later, he said: "Your second uncle is also willing to see it. Who wouldn't want to see something beautiful. Your second uncle has no money, no money to buy a ticket, and they won't let us in." In the park, I grabbed Uncle You's pocket on the spot, checked him, and found a few copper coins, which were not enough to buy a ticket.Another uncle said: "Your uncle has no money..." I said in a hurry: "You can't steal without money?" The second uncle's face was white when he heard what I said, but it turned red again in a blink of an eye.His flushed face, his small eyes smiled deliberately, and his lips trembled, as if he was going to repeat his habit of saying a long series of words.But he didn't say it. "Go home!" After he thought about it, he greeted me like this. I also saw Erbo steal a big bathtub. The yard of my house was quiet all day long, my grandfather often slept, my father was not at home, and my mother was only busy inside the house, and she didn't see much of what was going on outside. Especially when it was time to take a nap in summer, the whole family fell asleep, even the old cook.Even the big yellow dog is sleeping in a shady place.So the front yard and the back garden were quiet and there was no one, no sound at all. On such a day, a large bathtub was walked in the back garden by a man. The big bathtub is made of white iron, shining brightly under the sun.The big bathtub was as long as a person, and it was rattling as it was walking. It looked very scary, like a big white snake on the ground. The big bathtub was too big, and it was placed on Uncle You's head. For a while, Uncle You couldn't be seen, only the big bathtub.It seemed that the big bathtub moved by itself. After a closer look, I realized that Erbo was holding it. There was a second uncle who walked as if he had no eyes, swaying to the east, slanting to the west, and crooked on both sides. I was afraid that he would hit me, so I leaned against the wall. The big bathtub was very deep, and it was buckled from Uncle You's head to his waist, so he couldn't see the way, so he walked forward by feeling. After the second uncle stole this bathtub, it was like after he stole the copper jug.As soon as he was discovered, the old cook teased him every day, teasing the second uncle with various words. After the second uncle stole the copper jug, whenever he took the jug to drink, the old cook asked him: "Your second uncle, is it better to drink in the copper jug ​​or the tin jug?" A second uncle said: "It's not the same, anyway, it's wine." The old cook said, "Not necessarily, maybe copper is better..." A second uncle said: "What's so good about copper!" The old cook said: "By the way, there is the second master. We just don't want the copper wine jug, and the copper wine jug is worthless if you sell it." The people next to him laughed when they heard this, but the second uncle didn't realize it. The old cook asked the second uncle, "How much does a copper flagon sell for?" A second uncle said: "I haven't sold it, I don't know." Later, the old cook said fifty hangs, and then seventy hangs. A second uncle said: "How can it be so expensive, such a big copper jug ​​can't be sold for more than 30 hangs." So everyone laughed badly. Since the second uncle stole the tub, the old cook stopped mentioning the flagon, but often asked the second uncle whether he took a bath, how many times he took a bath in a year, and how many times the second uncle took a bath in his life.He also asked if people take a bath in the underworld after death? A second uncle said: "When you go to the underworld, the underworld is the same as the underworld. You are a poor man when you live, and you are a poor ghost when you die. The poor ghost, Lord Yama, doesn't care. It's good if you don't go to hell. You still have to take a bath! Don't pollute the bath water. " The old cook then said: "Your second master, according to what you said, the poor don't need a bathtub!" The second uncle noticed it a little bit, so he said: "I have never been to the underworld, so I don't know if I need it or not." "have no idea?" "have no idea." "I think you know it clearly, but I think you're telling lies against your conscience..." the old cook said. So the two men fought. A second uncle forced him to ask the old cook where he had violated his conscience.A second uncle said: "I have never been ignorant of my conscience in my life. I walk upright, I walk right, and I have two feet in one step..." The old cook said: "You can't see through your feet..." The second uncle said sternly, "What can't you see through?" The old cook said, "Say it out, I'm afraid you'll die of embarrassment!" A second uncle said: "Death, I can't die, don't look at me as poor, poor people still have a poor job." The old cook said, "I don't think you can die." A second uncle said, "I can't die." The old cook said: "You can't die, you can't die, I think you can't die too." Sometimes, the two of them could continue to scold each other for a day or two, and every time in the end, the second uncle had lost the battle, and the old cook called him an old "unprecedented". Every time the second uncle heard these two words, they were worse than all other words, worse than "seeing the king of hell".So he started to cry, and he said: "Isn't it! After death, there is no one to add soil to the grave. A person's life is a waste of work, and in the end it is nothing... There is no home and no job, and there is no one to beat the dead. There are no people from the Lingtou Banner either." So the two of them lived peacefully, laughing and playing peacefully as usual. twelve Later, my family built three east wing rooms next to the five main rooms. As soon as the new house was built, the second uncle moved back to live in it. My house is quiet, especially at night, even the chickens and ducks are on the shelves, the pigeons on the roof, and the sparrows in front of the eaves have all returned to their nests to sleep. At this time, we often heard crying in the wing room. Once my father beat my second uncle. My father was in his thirties, and my second uncle was almost sixty.When he stood up, he was knocked down by his father, and when he stood up again, he was knocked down by his father again. In the end, he couldn't get up, and he lay on the edge of the yard, and his nose and mouth might still be bleeding. Some spectators in the yard stood far away, and the big yellow dog was also scared away.The chicken was also scared away. The old cook should collect the firewood and carry the water, pretending not to see it. An uncle was lying alone in the center of the courtyard, and his straw hat without a brim was also knocked off, so it could be seen that the upper half of the second uncle's head was white, and the lower half was black, and black and white. The distinct line is on his forehead, like the "yin and yang side" of a watermelon. The second uncle just lay there by himself, and after lying down for a long time, two ducks came to peck at the blood that was sprinkled around the second uncle. Of those two ducks, one has a colorful neck and the other has a green head. The second uncle was about to hang himself, and that night, he first scolded, then cried, and finally stopped crying and scolding.After a while, the old cook yelled, almost as if he had discovered some monster: "Second master has hanged himself! Second master has hanged himself!" Grandpa put on his clothes and took me with him.When we ran to the wing room to have a look, the second uncle was gone. The old cook greeted us outside the house.We saw that there was a rope hanging from the top of the south room. It was dark night, we couldn’t see it at first, but we only saw it when the old cook lit a lantern. There is a two-foot-high horizontal bar at the top of the south room, and the rope is hanging leisurely on the horizontal bar. Where is the second uncle?When we took a light with the lantern, we saw him sitting at the root of the wall of the house.He didn't cry, nor did he scold. When I took the lantern to shine on his face again, I saw him glaring at me with his little red eyes from crying. Not long after, the second uncle jumped into the well again. It was the letter reported by the water bearer who lived in the same courtyard, and he knocked on the window and the door.We ran to the edge of the well and saw that the second uncle was not in the well, but sitting outside the edge of the well, but on a safe firewood pile fifty steps away from the mouth of the well.He sat comfortably on the woodpile. We lit a lantern, and he was still smoking with a small pipe. The old cook, the water bearer, and the powder leaker from the powder room all came, alarming many neighbors. He was motionless at first.Later, when he saw that all the people had come, he stood up and ran to the edge of the well, so many people caught him. How could those many people watch him jump into the well. There was a second uncle who jumped into the well, and he took his cigarette pouch and small cigarette pouch with him. When people urged him to go home, there was still a small stick of wax on the woodpile. He said: "Bring me that wax." .” Later, such things as the second uncle "jumping into a well" and "hanging himself" became jokes, and the children on the street made up a song and sang: "There is a second uncle who jumped into a well, it's nothing like that." "Yes." The second uncle hanged himself to scare people." The old cook said he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and others said he couldn't die. In the future, if the second uncle "jumped into a well" or "hanged himself" again, no one would look at him. There is a second uncle who is still alive. Thirteen The yard of my house is desolate, covered with snow in winter and covered with wormwood in summer.When the wind comes, the wormwood makes a sound, when the rain comes, smoke rises from the tip of the wormwood. There is no wind, no rain, and the door is closed to live quietly. Dogs have kennels, chickens have cages, birds have cages, and everything has its place.Only the second uncle didn't sleep well every night.In that wing room, he himself started talking in the middle of the night. "I'm not bragging when I say I'm afraid of 'death'. I asked three or two to come and see! Ask them if they've seen 'death'! The big Russian saber is shining brightly. If you say kill, you can kill, if you want to chop, you can chop Those who are bold and not afraid of death, when they hear that the Russians are coming, they just run for their lives and don't even want their family property. At that time, if he hadn't been guarded by this timid man, he might have come back without even wearing a pair of pants. Now, with enough food and warm clothes, I don't even think about the cause and effect, and I have long forgotten it. Conscience grows to the ribs, black heart dysentery, man in the iron mask,..." "...I'm not bragging when I say I'm afraid of death. I've seen soldiers, horses, swords and guns, thunder and yellow wind. Let’s just talk about the big Russian saber, it cuts at anyone, but I’ve never been afraid, saying I’m afraid of death... What year is Jie Nian,..." In the east wing room, the second uncle said in a set way that the river ditch was flooded again, and the water swelled so much that no one else dared to cross it, but the second uncle said he dared to cross it.When was there a big fire, everyone else fled, and the second uncle went up to grab a lot of things.When he was young, he went up the mountain to collect firewood, and met a wolf. The wolf was so vicious. He said: "The heart of a wolf is like that of a wolf. People in their early years have a heart of a wolf. They eat good food and drink spicy food. A good man in his early years is a bastard." Rabbit... "Rabbit, Rabbit..." There is a second uncle who doesn't sleep at night, and sometimes comes to the yard, "rabbit, rabbit" talking to himself. In the middle of the night, chickens, ducks, cats and dogs are all asleep.Only the second uncle didn't sleep. Grandfather's window was closed, so he couldn't see the stars and the moon in the sky, whether the Great Pleiades had fallen, or whether the three stars had hit the beams.I saw that Bai Shasha's curtains were shining white and bright under the light of stars and moon. When I woke up, I heard the second uncle "Rabbit, Rabbit" talking by himself. I wanted to get up and raise the curtains to look at him in the yard.My grandfather wouldn't let me get up, and my grandfather said: "Sleep well, get up early tomorrow morning, and let's cook some rice." My grandfather was afraid that I would get up, so he comforted me with kind words. When I fell asleep again, I heard in my dream the south bank of the Hulan River, or a dog biting in the distance outside the city of Hulan River. So I had a dream, dreaming of a big white rabbit, the rabbit's ears were as big as the ears of the little donkey in the mill.I heard the second uncle say "rabbit", and I thought of a big white rabbit. I heard the sound of the clapper in the mill, and I thought of the little donkey in the mill, so I dreamed that the white rabbit had ears as big as a donkey. I held the big white rabbit in my arms, and the more I looked at it, the more I liked it, and I woke up with a smile. When I woke up and heard it, my second uncle was still sitting in the yard like a "rabbit, a rabbit".The clappers in the mill behind were still beating loudly. The big white rabbit I dreamed, I asked my grandfather if it was the "rabbit" that my uncle said? Grandpa said: "Go to bed quickly, it's even harder to talk in the middle of the night." After finishing speaking, the grandfather also laughed, and he said: "Go to bed quickly, don't talk too much at night." 我和祖父还都没有睡着，我们听到那远处的狗咬，慢慢地由远而近，近处的狗也有的叫了起来。大墙之外，已经稀疏疏地有车马经过了，原来天已经快亮了。可是有二伯还在骂“兔羔子”，后边磨房里的磨倌还在打着梆子。 fourteen 第二天早晨一起来，我就跑去问有二伯，“免羔子”是不是就是大白兔？ 有二伯一听就生气了：“你们家里没好东西，尽是些耗子，从上到下，都是良心长在肋条上，大人是大耗子，小孩是小耗子……” 我不知道他说的是什么，我听了一会，没有听懂。
