Chapter 58 Cremation(12)

Meng Lian was alone in the room, like a light in a prison, although it was bright, people outside could not see it. Liu Ergou often came to see the light, not for the sake of light, but to take that beautiful little lampstand into his own hands. Since the news of the enemy's invasion of Wencheng, Liu Ergou has become the most active person in Wencheng.Money can't buy genius.Er Gou, although his family is rich, has no education.He is not material for study.His stature increased with age, and he had grown very tall by the age of eighteen or nineteen; however, his heart and brain stopped developing at the age of thirteen.He ate and drank a lot, but he couldn't digest the spiritual food that a mind over thirteen could digest.His great achievement is to get a junior high school graduation certificate, and this certificate is still obtained by favor and face.

Other classmates entered high school; Ergou changed into western clothes.In his mind, wearing foreign clothes and entering high school are completely evenly matched.He didn't feel ashamed or disturbed at all.Money can't buy admiration.Although he is rich, although he wears foreign clothes, although he is tall, but in Wencheng, he is always a second dog!Not to mention those stubborn elders, even those who have a good impression of him on weekdays, still call him Ergou at a distance that can teach him to hear.Sometimes, in order to find a little change, everyone added an adjective, turning Ergou into Eryanggou, because he always wears foreign clothes.

So he got into the habit of looking at the toes of his shoes all the time.There is always a poisonous fire burning in his heart, he wants to take revenge—"One day, you will have to call me the Second Master!" His eyes disdain to look at people, but only look at the toe of his shoes, and he said in his heart while walking: "You are all little ants, I will trample a whole bunch of you to death!" The insects and ants on the ground were unlucky.Before he could wipe out the people in Wencheng, whenever he saw a bug on the ground, he would trample it to death. He took a fancy to Meng Lian.In Wencheng, Ergou's father and Wang Juren should be two representatives standing on the same status.However, no matter what the occasion, Wang Juren is always a head taller than Old Man Liu.Old man Liu is not very literate, while old man Wang is a juren.When the county high school holds a graduation ceremony, or any assembly in the county, the two old gentlemen must attend.But Wang Juren was either the chairman or a special speaker, and old man Liu was always ashamed, sitting on the podium very restlessly, not humming, but just sweating!Therefore, Ergou decided to marry Menglian in order to wash away the shame of the father and son.She is lovely in person, and her father is a Juren respected by everyone.After marrying her, people in Wencheng would no longer dare to look down on Liu's father and son with supercilious eyes.

He wanted to get close to Menglian for a long time, but he never dared to take a bold step forward.He couldn't explain why, but he was a little afraid of her.The Bodhisattvas in the temple are all beautiful, but Ergou dare not love the Bodhisattvas.He also felt the same way about Menglian. However, he never expected that Meng Lian would be so easy to approach. Not only did he not hit a snag in his first adventure, but he also sat with her for two full hours.He regretted not being able to "stretch his legs" earlier.If he had done it earlier, he thought, he might have become Ju Rengong's son-in-law.He didn't know Menglian at all.He thought that as long as she didn't kick him, he would be done.

He has no other specialty, he can only imitate the rooster and make the feathers very gorgeous.He also made two new suits, the colors are very beautiful, one is green and the other is flowery, which makes people feel headache when they see it.His tie needs to be changed three times a day. The color and pattern not only cause headaches, but also make him feel cold all over. Miss Menglian never wears lipstick, perms, rouge, or bright clothes.Because she is so beautiful, sometimes she would like to see other people wearing bright red and green. It seems that only in this way can the colors in the world be evenly distributed without being too dull.Er Gou's rooster-like clothes elicited her laughter, Er Gou's pride is indescribable.

However, Menglian is not "special" affectionate to him.Sometimes, he would dress up like a paint shop, with more than two taels of Vaseline on his hair, and would come to see her triumphantly, but she would just tease him out of the corner of her eye, without even saying a word to him.She may be reading a book, or knitting a mitten, and she goes on working as if he were only a stone or a stool.Er Gou's body twisted back and forth, like a big maggot, the more he twisted, the more unpleasant it became, and his palms were sweating.He struck up a conversation and said a few words, Menglian didn't lift her eyelids, but he felt that she was staring at him.If she wanted to drink tea, she would only pour half a bowl for herself; if she wanted to eat, she would go out to eat;He got angry.

He didn't dare to resent Menglian, he thought that her indifference was caused by Ding Yishan.He wanted to fight him for a long time. He had a fight with Yishan.He fully thought that once he started fighting like this, he could reflect his power from a mountain to Meng Lian, so that she would be afraid of him too.Whenever she was afraid, he could rub her in his hands like a ball of mud. Unexpectedly, Meng Lian was not afraid, she raised her face a little, pointed her small nose at the sky, and challenged him without humming. The second dog panicked like a homeless dog.He came to see her, no see.He waited outside the gate for hours, expecting her to come out so that he could kowtow to her.But she won't come out.It was almost time for despair, she came out suddenly—holding hands with Yishan!She was dressed up very beautifully, her small face that never wore rouge was lightly smeared with "Modern Yellow", and a bean green ribbon was tied around her head.She talked and laughed, as lively as a winter bird, as beautiful as a flower.She turned a blind eye casually and glanced at Ergou.There was a little chubby flower dog beside the road, she teased it with the tip of her shoe, but she definitely didn't mean to greet Liu Ergou.If Ergou was a little smarter, he would definitely be able to see it; Menglian would love and hate.Or, her hate is more convenient than love.Only those who are courageous and have a sense of justice will hate.She also had a little more deliberate provocation—she was spoiled and spoiled, and she was unwilling to endure the slightest grievance.Now her attitude towards Ergou is exactly like the original goddess deliberately treated the two-legged animals on the ground. If she disrespects her a little, she will be punished with thunder and lightning.

She gave Ergou a thunder—and got engaged to Yishan. The second dog gritted his teeth.His mental development stops at the age of thirteen.If a thirteen-year-old child can't get rid of his primitive cunning and cruelty (such as taking pleasure in skinning puppies alive, etc.), it is very natural for Ergou to want to use the most vicious means to retaliate.He wants Yishan's life! But Yishan went to join the army.Ergou's knife fell to nothing.Then, his simple and smart heart started to move again.He always said to everyone: That boy Yishan is afraid of us, he dare not live at home anymore!Just wait and see, when he puts his foot in Wencheng, he will die!

Even Jurengong and Menglian heard this declaration.Ju Rengong was very disturbed, for fear that his daughter would become a widow before she got married.In order to alleviate this terrible plot, he will give Ergou a post every time he treats guests.Ergou's simple heart got a little comfort, and he was very grateful to Jurengong.In gratitude, he also hoped that Jurengong could force Menglian and Yishan to break off their engagement.Therefore, he tried his best to curry favor with Ju Rengong; if he had any fresh fruits and snacks, he would personally deliver them to Ju Rengong.Jurengong is very fond of small things, a jelly bean and a tael of gold can also touch his heart.He knew Ergou's stupidity and ignorance, but after digesting Ergou's snacks and fresh fruits, he felt that Ergou was a lovely young man, at least much better than Yishan.The gift taught him to speak for Ergou: "Unfortunately, Menglian is too disobedient and wants to marry that poor boy Yishan. To be honest, Ergou is much better than Yishan!"

Ergou heard this praise, and quickly came to a conclusion that as long as Yishan was killed, Meng Lian would become Ergou's wife! Menglian, however, doesn't care at all.Hearing what Jurengong and Ergou said, she only showed a contemptuous smile from the corner of her mouth.When she was at her happiest, when Ergou came to see Jurengong, she softly barked twice like a dog for him.She is pure, she dares to joke. When the enemy attacked Baoding, they had already sent people to Wencheng to "recruit talents".Their first harvest is Ergou.Ergou doesn't want money, because the family has money.He only wanted to gain a status, so that people in Wencheng would not dare to call him Ergou anymore, and changed his name to Second Grandpa.The cunning and viciousness of the "China Master" among the enemies is exactly the same as Ergou's - the same kind but slightly different depth.They took the second dog as a treasure.If there were still some dissatisfaction, they only felt that Ergou's western clothes were not pleasing to the eye, because they thought that as long as all the Chinese wearing western and Chinese tunic suits were killed, China would stop the war of resistance.They told Ergou to change clothes.Ergou is very firm on this point.He cannot take off his suit; once he takes it off, he ceases to exist.Western clothes are his feathers and his life!

Ergou's determination did not offend them.Their eyes have seen Wang Juren ever since they were in Mishima.Wang Juren is their ideal obedient citizen.If every county in China had a Wang Juren, they could win the world without bloodshed.Ergou is a good friend of Wang Juren, and he can catch him right away.This must be regarded as Ergou's meritorious service, and the problem of foreign clothes can be put aside for the time being.Ergou went to see Wang Juren.Ju Rengong's thoughts are simple: "I don't ask for anything else, I just want to keep my house, my land, all my property, and my old life. If you can keep these, I will do whatever you teach me!" A few words, so simple, straightforward and honest, even Ergou was moved, and Jurengong himself shed two old tears. At this time, Meng Lian was willing to buy a pistol.She didn't know what use a pistol was in her hand, or what problems it would solve; she only wanted one!
