Chapter 3 The moon is dark and the wind is high

Everyone has a quirk of some sort.Smoking addiction, drinking addiction, cage-holding and bird addiction, singing addiction, ink fetishism, political manipulation addiction, short-lived and long-term addiction, stamp collection addiction, antique addiction, spark collection addiction, beer bottle addiction, collection of broken copper, rotten iron and stinky socks... The King of Yue A good swordsman, the king of Chu has a thin waist, and the three thousand diners of Lord Mengchang are all addicts.I heard that there are people abroad who specialize in collecting celebrity hair and high-ranking officials' dentures.The world is big, and there are so many obsessions that the number cannot be counted.Probably, if a person is not supported by one or two obsessions, it is difficult to live for a long time.

Ding San's obsession may be a bit vulgar: he is good at managing the affairs of men and women. Ding San's history began in the 1950s, when he was disheartened and bored. Ding San was born in a poor family and an ordinary family, but this did not prevent him from having a great ambition to go straight to the blue sky and soar in the world.He first ran around in the countryside like a headless chicken, but seeing nowhere to go, he wanted to join the army, and then he got his wish.He wants to be a division commander and brigade commander.Unfinished, full of service, depressed and unsuccessful, return.The feeling of seeing Jiangdong's elders without a face has been haunting his heart, making him confined in a humble house for several months without going out.At this time, he was thirty-two years old, past his thirties.The future is bleak, and he almost has the idea of ​​suicide.It might be better if there is some place to distract myself at this time, but there is no one.There are no social dramas, no movies, no teahouses, no wine shops, all folk customs that can add some joy are banned, and the countryside is extremely lonely!The young people were in a hurry, they lined up, playing the tricks of childhood, showing the important things, or farther than the urine, or higher than the urine, or longer than the urine, which is not elegant.Otherwise, it is relatively big, and you can stand up the stone roller on the field.Young people are aggressive, not strong enough, and talk big, and each one is more bragging than the other. Therefore, the phenomenon of chest collapse occurs from time to time.He refused to speak soft words, and after his chest collapsed, he said: "No matter how big the roller is, I can do it!" Then he secretly took medicine and treated him secretly.No, it's more daring.A girl was walking on the ridge of the field, and one of them lying on the field basking in the sun said, "Who dares to touch that toot on her chest, I'll give you two bottles of wine!" "Really?" "Liar!" Your grandson!" "Repeat!" "I'm lying to you, I'm a grandson!" Clap your hands, go up, like a rooster in a flock of hens who slanted its wings to tease the hen, and greeted it sideways: "Hee hee... ...Where are you going? Yo, there's a caterpillar on your chest!" Taking advantage of the situation, he made the prescribed movements.The girl was in slight pain, suddenly felt malicious, shy, scolded, then bowed her head and ran away, they laughed wildly and wantonly, rolling into a ball in the field: "Tonight...drink...drink..." Comparing arms and eyes , than climbing a mast, than holding your breath longer, than eating, drinking, anything else, just for fun.Ding San was a soldier, and he didn't want to join them, so he was bored.Later, he wanted to go to his fiancée's house to stay for a few days to change his lonely mood. The idea just came up, and a message came: I won't marry.Now, he really wanted to commit suicide.In the dead of night, he walked under the old willow tree by the small river.On a spring night, the moonlight is like silver, the river is shining, the willow smoke is like a dream, and in the moist green grass, there are small insects singing softly.The world is good.In the distance, another flute sound lingered in the ears.So he wanted to live again.

One night, my childhood friend Ah Wu suddenly broke in and grabbed him: "Come on, come and do something with me!" "What's up?" "You'll know when you get there." "No." "Let's go! You're not afraid of suffocation when you're bored at home?" He followed Ah Wu suspiciously and confusedly. After going out, Ah Wu led him to the big tree of the brick kiln house by the big river. "Get down!" "What for?" "Don't ask, you'll understand when the time comes." Lay down. The moon was fading to the west, the night wind was blowing, and the dark clouds in the sky were moving around. Suddenly, a man's figure flashed into the blank room.He was about to speak out, but Ah Wu tightly covered his mouth with one hand.After a while, I saw a woman looking east and west, coming over shyly, stopped at the door of the blank house, and went in.

Ding San suddenly realized what kind of important thing Ah Wu was going to do now, his heart beat wildly, and his panting was rough. Guessing the fire, Ah Wu said: "Go!" The two rushed straight to the blank room, and when the flashlight was turned on, the man jumped out of the back window naked and fled.Ding San had studied grappling and wrestling in the army for three months, and it was now being put to good use. After sweeping away the stagnation of the past few months, Hu Hu got angry like the wind and thunder, and after chasing after his ass, he quickly knocked the man down. , and twisted its arms.Here, Ah Wu was using a flashlight to shine on the woman's shame, when Ding San heard that the man was coming, he moved the flashlight to her face.When Ding San saw that it was the girl who abandoned him, he couldn't help being jealous, he grunted with hatred, and punched the man down to the ground, then he spat on the girl.The woman's family is a well-behaved family. If her father knew it, she would never forgive her lightly, so she "thumped" and knelt down, begging them not to make it public, and immediately burst into tears, looking pitiful.They left her and went away.Ding San refused to give up, and the next day, together with Ah Wu, he spread the scandal of last night's flat house in all directions.The girl was stuck at home for three years and couldn't get married. In the end, she had to cut the price and marry an ugly old man who was 13 years older than her and go away.This incident made Ding San feel very relieved, and felt an unspeakable satisfaction.

From then on, Ding San felt that this matter was very interesting, so that he became addicted later. Of course, doing such a thing is to take a big risk.The first time Ding San went it alone, he was slapped several times. Is it that easy?If it's not just right, if it's not at the right time, will people admit it?The level of this matter can be subdivided into three levels.One is a tryst between a man and a woman. The two parties have sneaked into a dark place, but they are still in the intimacy stage. If you catch it, it is absolutely unlevel.The second stage is that men and women have already shaken their minds, can't help themselves, trembling like reed leaves in the autumn wind, but there are still coverings on their bodies. If you catch them, this level can only be said to be average.The third stage is when men and women are entering the thunder and electricity, and the clouds and rain are stalemate, you suddenly shout and rush in, and tie them naked one by one, this is the highest level.If it is one, there will be trouble; if it is two, there will be two touches; if it is three, it will win.

Of course, the difference between grades and the relationship between success and failure are summed up by Ding San after several failures.For the first time, he was going to be beaten no matter what.That time was too level-headed.The man was an accountant of the production team. He had just entered the side room where a girl lived alone in the east of the village, and he rashly arrested him.At that time, both men and women hadn't unbuttoned a single button, so how could they admit it, and they both grabbed him and wouldn't let him go.The girl made a fuss and yelled, attracting all the villagers.Parents and brothers of both men and women also came.The accountant said: "She is the leader of the labor team, and I came to ask her to register the work points!" When the girl saw her father, she burst into tears and was very sad: "The accountant came to me to calculate the work points, and he is talking nonsense!" There was a lot of noise, Ding Sanzao was confused, his mind went blank, and he kept saying something ridiculous: "Then, what are you doing together?" The girl is a hot pepper: "Why, men and women can't stay together Are you together? Which central government stipulated it? What is your father doing with your sister? What are you doing with your mother?" The girl's father pushed her violently and shouted, "Slap him in the mouth!" Relatives and friends shouted in unison: "Hit!" Before Ding San was ready to fight, the girl had already slapped him on the right cheek with a firm slap.He swayed for a while, but before he could stand still, another louder sound broke out on his left cheek.Next, he was pushed and shoved by his relatives and friends, and spit flew on his face from time to time.He held his head high, engraving the humiliation on the tip of his heart.

Later, he finally got his revenge.He persisted for half a month, and finally on a dark night, he bound the man and woman naked with the highest level, and tied them tightly to a big stone roller.When people looked at him in silence, he put a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then, like a hero in an American western, he pulled down the brim of his hat and left the scene quietly. After Ding San got married, life was very comfortable.His wife was quite pretty, and as gentle as a lamb born in spring, she was obedient to him, took good care of him, and never neglected her.Ding San is carefree and carefree, so he has a leisurely mood.

The countryside is a vast world with many hiding places, such as houses, cave dwellings, woods, boats, reeds, culverts, under bridges, dense crop fields... If night falls and the moon is dark and the wind is high, you can hide almost everywhere. Hiding, therefore, is always much more convenient than in the city to do men's and women's affairs.Later, Ding San watched "Shajiabang", imitating Chief of Staff Diao's tone, and always said a ridiculous saying: "Such a big Shajiabang, it is not easy to hide a lot of people? Back then, then Auntie Ah Qing just hid Commander Hu in the water tank, didn't she just hide it?" Since hiding is easy, this kind of thing naturally happens more often.In addition, country people rarely have other topics to talk about, and they often have fun with rough, naked, dirty talk, regardless of gender or occasion, which will naturally arouse some stupid thoughts.Coupled with the emptiness, monotony, leisure and all kinds of boredom in the countryside, coupled with farming, it is doomed that there will be friction between men and women, and it is easy for a man and a woman to separate from the crowd, or to drive a boat together into the deep reeds to shoot reeds, or in a quiet place. Working under the melon shed and bean racks, the sentiment and the atmosphere are very easy to ignite the love between men and women.The simplicity of the folk customs here also makes it easy for men and women to have sex.

Therefore, Ding San has plenty of opportunities. However, the people in this place are very serious on the surface, old-fashioned, and serious, trying their best to maintain orthodoxy, and regard the wild love between men and women as the biggest scandal in the world.If a cadre is caught, he will be given a warning at the least and dismissed at the worst.When dealing with cadres in this locality, they all use a special term called "corruption".This probably evolved from the term "corruption in style".But in this place, it now has only one meaning: the relationship between men and women."Corruption" by cadres is seen here as a more serious crime than embezzlement, theft, bribery and other crimes.If ordinary men and women are arrested, the fate of the men is slightly better, but they will not be allowed to join the party, join the army, or be an official in the future. It is difficult for women to marry, and their parents and brothers will feel ashamed.

Therefore, Ding San has almost become an important figure. With increasing experience and increasing wisdom, Ding San's skills become better day by day.Now, he either doesn't catch it, or catches it at the best point.Thinking about the live ammunition drills in the army back then, Ding Thirty bullets barely hit the third ring, but now he is doing this with a hundred shots and every bullet hits every shot. "In this matter, I am Awu!" Who is Awu?Awu is the king of turtles in this place.Awu carried the fish basket on his back and stood by the river, staring at the water surface with his eyes. He could determine the position of the turtle from the two small water bubbles that were difficult to detect.He can even judge the sex and weight of a turtle from the water bubbles.Ding San compares himself to Awu to explain his level, which is naturally perfect.When the man kowtowed to him for the sake of his future, and the woman hugged her legs in tears and begged him for mercy for the sake of his reputation, when he saw people surrounding his prey silently watching or making jokes, he noticed it. His strength, his authority, his wisdom, his psychological superiority beyond ordinary people.

"In the village, apart from panting, cats are not sneaky cats. One of them counts as the other. They are all fucking stealers!" The meaning in Ding San's words is very clear: you all, be honest with me! Chuanzi is Ding San's close neighbor. A candle is lit on the west window sill of Ding San's house, and Chuanzi can be seen across the east window sill of his house.Because he suffers from bronchitis, he is panting all year round, and with a little effort, he becomes more panting, like a locomotive, so Ding San excludes him. Of course, Ding San's words were a bit exaggerated.In this place, incidents between men and women do happen from time to time, but they are by no means as serious as Ding San imagined. Generally speaking, the villagers are willing to abide by the rules and regulations, and they don't dare to go beyond them, and they often seem a little cautious.However, it is true that people here attach great importance to Ding San.They were polite to him, flattered him, and flattered him because they were always a little afraid of him, a little timid deep down in their hearts.It is easy to understand that people who do this kind of deed cannot offend him.But why should those well-behaved people be afraid?The reason is also very simple: Ding San is recognized as an authority in this area, as long as he points out who has something in this area, then everyone will firmly believe it.However, Ding San is not very upright, he will also take advantage of his position in the hearts of everyone to say some irresponsible words because of someone's occasional disrespect or neglect towards him, or because of certain needs— —Actually, without saying a word, as long as he pulled the hat over his face, the man was smeared inexplicably.Pulling the hat to his face, this is Ding San's exclusive professional movement.When people from other villages come on a blind date, if he is displeased with the young man or girl being blind dated, he only needs to put a smile on the corner of his mouth and pull his hat on his face when the people from other villages inquire about his character, and the marriage will be over. Although that is pure fiction. "As long as you act rightly, you are not afraid of crooked shadows," the common saying, when it comes to Ding San, it can only become the self-comfort of men and women.As for those who didn't take any action, but only thought about it or had a momentary look at them, they would naturally have doubts in their hearts before Ding San's gaze shot from the shadow of the brim of Ding San's hat: Could it be that he was aware of it?A pair of eyes on this dog day! Ding San is very aware of his status, and enjoys all the benefits that this status brings to him. Ding San hardly works. Captain Hu Si is domineering and domineering, but he is respectful in front of Ding San alone, like his third grandson.Ding San is not a cadre, but every time a team committee is held, Hu Si must invite Ding San to participate.Even if he is not invited occasionally, Hu Si will discuss with him sincerely before and after the event.If Ding San lost his temper, Hu Si squatted aside, not daring to reply.Hu Si was the captain, but Ding San was the manipulator.If someone in the village wants to entertain the team cadres for weddings and funerals, naturally Ding San is also invited.Of course, Hu Si couldn't let Ding San flaunt his arms all day and give him work points, so he sent him to raise ducks.A small wooden boat, one or two hundred ducks, he can raise them as he pleases.Ding San held a bamboo pole, relaxed and carefree, extremely comfortable.In the field, people were doing heavy farm work while panting, but Ding San was lying on his back on the slope beside the lotus pond, resting the bamboo pole on his belly, resting his head on his arm, pulling his hat to his face, shaking his legs slightly, Humming a ditty, while paying attention to the ducks looking for food, while observing the working people, if a man or woman has a secret affair, or is writing the beginning of a story, there will always be abnormal conversation and behavior, which cannot escape him Eye.Ding San lying there seemed to be much scarier than Ding San walking.Ding San's duck was bred very thin, with a slender neck, a pointed butt, and sparse feathers. It wobbled and looked ridiculous.After autumn, the ducks in ordinary households laid eggs vigorously, but Ding San couldn't pick up ten eggs in the duck pen in one morning.But Ding San went to the team room to carry duck food in a bamboo basket, but he was extremely diligent.He got the rice on board and moved it home at night.The pigs in his pen are extremely fat.At the end of the year, Ding San's work points are always very high. Even so, he still wants to get rid of Hu Si.Maybe it was Hu Si who wanted to save face on purpose, or maybe it was Hu Si's careless omission, in short, he offended Ding San.Speaking of things as small as sesame mung beans, it is difficult to catch the tongue, but for Yu Ding San, he absolutely cannot tolerate it.One day, dozens of cadres from the commune and the brigade came to the team to inspect the production. It happened that Ding San was there.Ding San's face was full of embarrassment, and he couldn't help feeling a sense of humiliation in his heart. He pulled down the brim of his hat and left. After dark, he took a strand of rope from behind the door with a stern look on his face. The wife asked, "Where are you going?" "Something happened." In fact, the wife has already been familiar with all this, and she just asks knowingly.She never stopped him, and seemed relishing his going out to watch.She thoughtfully said: "It's cold at night, put on more clothes." Ding San said "hmm" and went out. The wife watched him disappear into the night, then lit a candle on the west window sill with trembling hands, took off her clothes, and went to bed trembling. As for Ding San, at midnight, he jumped up with two strong men lying under the haystack, and rushed to the door of Widow Liu in the east of the village. The three flashlights shone on Hu Si and Widow Liu on the bed. Immediately tied them with a rope.Ding San was watched over, and he quickly knocked on the door of the brigade cadres, and called the brigade cadres to have a look at the acceptance on the spot.The news came out that the widow family was relentless, smashing bowls and pots, almost knocking off his roof, and suing him again and again.A month later, Hu Si's captaincy was removed. After Hu Si's incident happened, Ding San was very proud, and he talked about his years of accumulated experience to everyone. Black, you have to wear dark clothes. When it’s snowing, you go to ambush, don’t walk on the ridges or roads, as that will make people see footprints, you have to walk from the ground. The moon is dark and the wind is high, you have to stay as close as possible Cat, otherwise, if you can’t hear the movement, you will miss the opportunity. In thunderstorms, you need to find a good place to stay, and don’t let the lightning shine on it. When you meet a sister-in-law, you have to be hard, a married person , thick-skinned, if you don't catch her naked, she will play tricks on you; if you meet a girl, you have to be careful, the girl has a thin skin, and you might kill someone..." At the end, he said His face suddenly darkened, "Who the hell dares to count me as two hundred dollars, huh!" He glanced at everyone's faces, "Everyone's fucking in my eyes!" Everyone was stunned by what he said , horror, panic. Ding San has become more and more important in this place day by day, and has become an important figure in this place.He lives contentedly, feeling that every inch of life is interesting, wishing he could split it apart.Just when he was proud of his spring breeze, one day, he fell into the hands of the brigade secretary Ruan Da. Ruan Da offended Ding San in two places: 1. Ruan Da ordered the production team leader to let Ding San go to work in the field;Ding San condescended to beg Ruan Da for the first time.Ruan Da was not Hu Si, so he ignored him, and said in disgust: "Even if you say to erect the stone roller, it won't work, go as soon as possible!" From then on, Ding San stared at Ruan Da.He firmly believes in a truth: there is no cat that does not eat fishy. Ruan Da had been in love with a girl since he was twenty years old, but his family was poor at that time, and the girl's family refused to give up, so she was forced to marry a military officer in a neighboring village.The man served in the frontier desert for many years, and the woman stayed alone in the vacant room. Her heart was full of loneliness. Fortunately, Ruan Da loved her so deeply that she often stole it to spend long nights with her.Ruan Dasheng was clever, he did everything without leaking, leaving no clues, no one in this place was aware of this romantic affair, but he couldn't escape Ding San's sniffing here and there, and he smelled it. One night, he removed the rope from behind the door again. "Where are you going?" the woman asked as usual. "Never mind." "When are you coming back?" "I'm afraid it will be five watch." Seeing him walking away, the woman panicked and put the lit candle on the west window sill. Ding San called a man named Saturday, who had a grudge against Ruan Da, to lie down in the melon field in front of the woman's house.At about twelve o'clock at night, a figure flashed and entered the house. After a while, Ding Sanyi waved: "Saturday, come on!" The two of them knocked the door open.When the flashlight came on, Ding San was stunned: only the woman was sleeping on the bed, and there was no other sign. It turned out that Ruan Da had learned the news in advance, and he didn't stay for a minute after entering the house, and jumped out from the back window long ago. The woman woke up suddenly, and then exclaimed: "Who is here—!" Ding San was at a loss, in a dilemma, but Ruan Da came in with two militiamen: "Ding San, what are you doing?!" "Come and catch your traitor!" Ruan Dayan smiled: "Where is the evidence?" Ding San was speechless. Ruan Dayi slapped the table: "I'm afraid you don't have a good heart, right? What are you doing breaking into a lonely woman's house in the middle of the night? You want to frame the Communist Party cadres! Adding to the crime!" With a wave of his hand, "Ding San Tied up and sent to the commune!" Of course nothing happened that Saturday, because he was the one who reported to Ruan Dafeng. Ding San was detained by the commune for three days, and then handed over to the brigade for handling.Ruan will naturally handle it very well.He dare not insist that Ding San plotted against that woman.Because, everyone knows that although Ding San is obsessed with this matter, he never touches women around him.Furthermore, that woman is a family member of a soldier, and the matter became serious, and it really alarmed the judicial department.Therefore, Ruan Da only insisted on one thing: Ding San wanted to frame the Communist Party cadres.Ruan Da trapped Ding San in a small black room with air leakage on all sides in the brigade headquarters, and refused to let him go home, making him confess the crime of framing.Ding San is a man, so he doesn't recognize him.deny?Well, that traps you!Ding San only ate three taels of rice porridge and a small dish of pickles a day.Ruan Da must put Ding San on the ground, otherwise, Ding San will not let him be safe in the future. "I'd like to see whether the buffalo or the ox is more powerful!" He wanted to completely dampen Ding San's vitality and make him unable to recover from the fall.Ding San became thinner every day, his fat calf disappeared, and two stick-like bones were left, which was described as getting more and more haggard day by day, and later on, he was as thin as a fishbone.At night, he curled up in a ragged quilt cover and shivered.Looking at the floating clouds and thin moon outside the window, and listening to the mournful cry of the cold winter wind passing through the forest, he felt a lot of emotion for a hero at the end of his life, and couldn't help but shed tears into his withered beard. Ruan Da was afraid that Ding San would die, so he asked someone to release him. Ding San came out, standing like a sick crane, swaying in the wind.A pair of hands are as thin as a weed.The eyes are as big as a bell.That look is more breathless than a dead person. People commented: "Ding San probably won't dare again in the future." Unexpectedly, Ding San will go home and rest for a few days, and before he recovers, he will go back to his old business.That night, when there were no other pedestrians on the road, he carried a bottle of strong shochu in his pocket, and with a rope under his arm, under the moonlight, he lurked behind the officer's wife's house without anyone noticing.At this time, it was the severe cold weather in March and September, and the wind was howling, which stirred up heavy snow all day.Ding San stood against the wind against an old tree, but his thin body still couldn't resist the severe cold, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.He took out the wine bottle from his pocket and took two gulps.After a while, the wine seemed to flow into the blood, and he felt his body warm up a little.He put his ear to the rear window, listening to the movement in the house.After a while, the alcohol dissipated and his body became cold again, so he took out the bottle and drank again.Ding San didn't feel bitter.To do this kind of thing, you have to be able to endure hardship.In summer, lurking in the grass, swarms of mosquitoes bite one after another, but they cannot move, so they can only grit their teeth and endure.On rainy days, I often get soaked.Sometimes, it is inevitable to crawl in the mud, making it look like a mud cow.Swimming, climbing walls, climbing roofs, climbing vines and helping trees... There will be physical pain at any time. You may ask: Why bother?You don't understand this. Ding San drank all the wine, it was already late at night, the sky was gray, with a waning moon rolling miserably in the sea of ​​clouds.Just when Ding San was about to lose confidence, he heard the "squeak" sound of the door opening with his ears attached to the window. "There is a play!" He went around to the front of the house softly, lay on his side on the snow, climbed to the door, took out the lock he had prepared and locked the door, and then climbed under the back window to listen. "It's hot!" Ding San suddenly became fierce and powerful. With a strong elbow, he smashed open the window, and then jumped into the room with a beautiful leap. The flashlight locked him and the woman in his arms with a blinding white light.After a fierce battle, Ding San managed to subdue Ruan Da with his hard work in the army.At this time, he was also bleeding from his mouth and nose, and he collapsed on the ground exhausted, unable to move anymore.The woman wrapped herself in a quilt, curled up on the bed, and cried in shame.Ding San felt very funny in his heart. Ruan Da went to jail for three years. Ding San has been bedridden since then. He has been ill for more than half a year and spent more than 300 yuan on medicine before recovering and walking around. Outdoors, the sun is very good, there is greenery everywhere, and the air is filled with the fragrance of plants and trees. On the moist river slope, there are two or three buffaloes chewing grass leisurely. changing clouds in the sky.The river is so green that it turns blue, and sailboats slide by from time to time, leaving behind the laughter of the boatman.In the field, the men and women are still happily laughing with those nasty words about the eternal charm of men and women who eat and drink.A woman in a turban sang "Lang Ya Lang Ya" tremblingly, like walking a tightrope, naked and unscrupulous. Ding San felt the vitality of life, and it was turbulently turbulent all over his body. Year after year passed, and the years turned Ding San into an old man.He hunched over, his hair began to grey, the light from the eyes hidden under the brim of the hat was no longer as cold and frightening as before, and the tiger's stride left in the life of a soldier also became a little bit stumble.The arms, which used to swing back and forth as they walked, drawing the wind, now hung at the sides of the body like stopped pendulums.But his spirit is still so strong.Once that kind of thing happened to him, he could still slip out of the smoke like a hare.In this place, he still maintains his position very well. At the age of fifty-five, he suffered the heaviest blow in his life—— For a time, he felt that life was very boring and lonely.That kind of thing between men and women has not happened for so long.Maybe it's his own eyesight that has weakened, or maybe those people have learned to be cunning, anyway, they can't always grasp the clues.Ding San felt that something was missing in his life, so he was so empty and uncomfortable in his heart, life was very difficult.He felt that he was useless and people were going to forget him.He even felt that other people's lives were boring and lonely, and felt a little sorry for them.He really wants to add some excitement to everyone's life and make life a bit more interesting-it's too boring to live like a pool of stagnant water! Ding San actually cleverly started "pimping" and got a couple of men and women "hooked up".However, when they did something good together, he tied them both. He never thought that this time he would be completely screwed: the girl died after drinking a large bowl of brine. Ding San was frightened to death when he heard the news. The girl's family is a large family, and there are eight brothers in her father's generation alone.Eight families have twenty sons.All of them had broad shoulders, round shoulders, and strong bodies, and some of them walked out in a group with full wildness, which made people feel terrified for no reason.One of them yelled: "Come on!" Carrying the corpse, men and women rushed towards Ding San's house with a whimper. When Ding San heard the wind, he was frightened with feces in his pants, struggled for a long time, and finally slipped into the reed pond behind the house to hide. The gang carried the girl's body to Ding San's house, and then they smashed and beat everything they saw. In a short while, they beat Ding San's house to nothing. Ding San's woman shrank into a ball in fright, not even daring to cry. There is just such a precious girl in the Hachinohe family, who is usually protected by the big family like an eyeball, but now she is dead! "Pull off the roof!" Several brothers grabbed the forks and climbed up the house, throwing the thatch down one by one. After a while, the roof was lifted with a big skylight. Ding San's woman cried. It doesn't matter if you don't cry, but if you cry, the girl's family will think of her, drag her to the dead man, and order her to kneel down. Hu Si appeared in the crowd, squeezed into the girl's family, and whispered, "Ding San is hiding in the reed pond." So, a group of people ran into Weitang, found Ding San, and dragged him back like a dead dog. "Not yet!" said Ruan Da, who had been wandering around the countryside. So, men, women and children scrambled to beat Ding San, until he was beaten to death.Someone called a doctor and strangled him for a long time before strangling him alive. Seeing that Ding San's house was in a mess, the members of the girl's family carried the girl's body and cried all the way back. When Ding San woke up, the surroundings were already quiet, only the woman was crying feebly beside him.He was lying on the ground, and through the open roof, he saw a tile-blue sky, and a group of wild geese were slowly flying away.After an unknown amount of time, he struggled to sit up, looking at the rubble on the ground, the scattered rice and wheat, the soy sauce flowing all over the floor, the excrement, the ashes of clothes and quilts, and the crumbling tables and stools, Ding San felt sore in his heart. What a looting!Ding San cried. Relatives helped him patch up the roof, and Ding San barely moved in again.But Ding San was injured this time, so he couldn't stay in the bed, and his condition became more and more serious day by day.After dragging for three months, he was skinny and skinny, his face was yellow and shiny, and he spoke for a long time, like a mosquito moaning.After a few days, I couldn't keep my eyes open.In the dark, Ding San vaguely thought about his life, how excited and happy he was, and felt that he had accomplished many great things in his life, and that being a man was not in vain.Thinking about it now, I can't help feeling a lot of sadness in my heart. That night, when he opened his eyes, he saw a candle burning on the window sill. He felt a little strange and asked his wife, "How do you put the candle on the window sill?" "Otherwise, where do you put it?" The wife took the candle and went into the east room, then closed the door of the west room. After a while, a person flashed in. Ding San's wife understood: asthma is coming. This Panzi is the only person in this place who has studied for ten years, and he is good at calligraphy. During the Chinese New Year, all the couplets in this place were written by him.He is also very good-natured.When he was a primary school teacher, he had been friends with her.Later, he got asthma, and her family dared not marry her to him.Panzi was finally too panting to be a teacher, so he spent dozens of dollars to idle at home.He and her have never been broken, and whenever he sees candlelight on the west window sill, he will come over. "What are you doing in the room?" Ding San said softly. "Work!" "Oh..." Ding San's voice became weaker, as if he was about to fall asleep. Ding San didn't know that his wife had been stealing men until he was dying. Room 106, 21st Floor, Peking University, October 1985
