Chapter 25: December 1994 sky light
December 1994 sky light
It is estimated that because I took a leave of absence yesterday and did not attend class, the teachers in several classes today greeted me with greetings. The English teacher even noticed my dark circles and thought that I was sick and had not recovered, and advised me to go home and rest more.
"Wang Kai, you are really everyone's sweetheart. Do you know that you didn't come to school yesterday, and even people from outside classes came over to ask you what's wrong." Someone came over during class to spread gossip.
"No way." I didn't believe it.
"Really!" The girl in the back seat looked mysterious: "Someone asked us for the address of your grocery store, and they want to find you!"
"I don't believe it." I shook my head, no one would be so bored and run to our store Looking for me? "...You didn't say it right?"
"It's not a secret that your family has a grocery store. Everyone knows the address. Why do we keep it secret?" Someone said.
"That's what I said, but I don't know people. Some people I don't know come to your house to ask you how you are, isn't it awkward?" I can't imagine someone running into my house.
"You should advertise your home for poverty alleviation." My chop buddy at the same table is open-minded: "Your home is a canteen, they are always embarrassed to come in and ask you how you are, then turn around and leave? Buy anything, you don't have to. Increased turnover?" He said that poor dogs should not care about etiquette and integrity.
It seems to be right... but my family is serious about running a canteen, is it necessary to engage in that kind of crooked way?
It's outrageous anyway.
The outrageous thing is yet to come. Originally, only a few people in our class knew that my store was open, and even fewer knew which street my store was on. In the morning, everyone talked about it, and the whole class knew where my store was. I heard that I often sell goods in the commissary after school, and said that I would form a group to visit my commissary and play with me. I really want to be spoiled by this group of people.
There is gym class today. I envy those boys playing basketball in gym class. I'm too short to jump up and reach the ball in other people's hands, so I can only run and run as an exercise.
When can I grow taller, will I really grow to 1.8 meters tall?
Hope it has nothing to do with nutrition.
In fact, I am also very worried. In another world, I take care of my children all day, and I have a serious lack of sleep, and I am not rich in nutrition here. Could it be those reasons that affect my growth?
I don't know if taking care of the children will affect my growth, but I didn't go to school the next day, but I really added a few "customers" to my commissary at noon. These "customers" are all students, and they all asked the children. Is Wang Kai feeling unwell? Where is it? Why didn't he go to school?
My mother was looking at the store, and when someone came to ask, she thought it was my classmate, so she lied and said that I went to the hospital with a bad leg. Some people didn’t understand and thought I was lying in the hospital with a broken leg, and immediately asked me which ward I was in. Go visit me and hear my mom bewildered.
When I got home, I heard my mother tell me that it was very magical. Are people so boring and come to my grocery store just to get my news?
In the following days, I will work hard to eat and sleep well. Recently, my legs often hurt when I sleep. I don’t know why. Sometimes I wake up with pain. I don’t have time to go to the hospital. Not tall.
By the end of the month, the milk bottle and the new casserole for boiling water have been brought through Shimen. In addition to the new lighter, there are also thermometers and some regular medicines. I have read a lot of parenting books, and practiced milk preparation repeatedly. I have tried basic procedures such as temperature testing, and I have specially taught many women the correct posture to hold a baby, so I am full of confidence now.
Talking about soldiers on paper is still far from the real implementation, but it is not completely useless. At least the first milk was successfully fed to the baby. According to the book, I talked to him for a while and told a few simple stories, funny He played for a while, took care of him, urinated and cleaned up before scrubbing him clean, and put him to sleep on the little blanket beside me.
When I woke up at night and fed him, and in the morning, the child stared at me with big eyes when he was drinking milk from the bottle. The pure eyes melted my heart.
After drinking the milk and pouring, I wrapped him up and took him to work with me and Ah Fu.
When I was holding him before, I never talked to him, I just took him around like a mother kangaroo, but after reading some parenting books, I learned that the development of the infant's brain is the same as the language and vision when the parents took care of him when he was a child. There is another aspect of stimulation that has a lot to do with it.
I held him and whispered in Chinese what he was doing when he was awake, as well as the various things he saw. The cold wind could not hurt him in the warm swaddling clothes. He opened his eyes to see a world full of colors, A familiar and unfamiliar voice told him something he could not yet understand.
Patrolman Ah Fu is now a recognized colleague. I am helping him practice his ability to smell and track his target recently. What Ah Fu has to do is try to remember the smell of everyone in the village, and then follow the smell to go anywhere. time to find that person.
This kind of training is carried out in conjunction with the three times a day touring the village. We numbered the twenty or so households in the village in order. During each patrol, Ah Fu had to visit the twenty or so households one by one according to the smell. , The difficulty of doing this is that sometimes those people are at home, and sometimes they are working or hanging out. Ah Fu must find the target accurately and directly, and it is not counted when he runs to other people's houses.
It's a bit annoying to disturb everyone three times a day, but after explaining it clearly, the people in the village are not disgusted. Just like I said, they also hope that they can get help from Ah Fu when they are in danger, not to mention our training. There are also advanced projects. In the future, the goal is to let Ah Fu find that person by smelling the smell of the same thing, track the target, and even help everyone find items that have been accidentally lost.
In Shanghe Village on the mountain, the snow can cover two meters thick in winter, completely pressing down all the houses.
If I don’t rely on ghosts and gods, I just use geography and meteorological knowledge to explain, I can’t believe it myself, it is possible that the “gods” of Shanghe Village really protect the place, and let the wind and snow firmly protect the village every year.
The beliefs of the villagers in Luhe Village are a bit messier than in Shanghe Village, and they can barely be divided into three factions.
One faction is the "beast spirit" group headed by the witch doctor of the village. I said "beast spirit" to help them make a conclusion. The things they worship are the souls of some ferocious beasts. The last generation of witch doctors cut off the head of the beast and took off the spine to make a helmet and a long staff, and also tore the soul of the beast in half and left it in the helmet and staff, the village witch doctor aunt. It is always said that a person wearing a helmet and holding a long staff can obtain the speed and strength of a beast, which is called a magic weapon.
Of course, the witch doctor aunt in this village said that she was not skilled enough to use two magical weapons at the same time. She would only use them when the village was at the juncture of life and death, and that was also her death.
What the witch doctor said was very mysterious. I was stunned when I first heard it. No wonder many people in the village were not feeling well and went to kowtow to the helmets enshrined in the pavilion and prayed to remove the disaster. They were willing to eat the witch doctor. Those dubious 'drugs' made out of bugs and weird grass roots.
I have seen the bone stick that my aunt always holds in her hand many times. With all due respect, I can't see anything magical. As for the animal head mask that is always offered in the house, I have not seen it, but I guess it is difficult to have the magical effect she said.
The other two "big" religious sects in this village are the "Drowning Girl Sect" and the "Lafu Sect" in the legend of the nearby village. There are less than five believers. The worship of "Drowning Girl" is basically related to the livelihood of water. In summer, I throw some wood-carved gadgets into the swamps and rivers, praying for the blessing of the goddess who drowned in the water. According to the translation, it is indeed "goddess", but I listened to the description. How it sounds like another world." "Water Ghost" story, so I felt uncomfortable hearing it, and I didn't even want to go to the river.
The hunter who worships "Lafu" is even more outrageous. I really can't understand how other people in the village can tolerate them taking the "Lafu" that harms the village as idol worship. "Lafu" loves to eat people, according to me Look at the animal meat that the hunter put on the wooden pier outside the village, and he can't eat it at all. How stupid do people have to be to think that after feeding the "laru", it won't eat the people in the village?
Hunters often go into the forest to hunt for a living. It stands to reason that they hate bluffing the most, and they should be the ones who want to get rid of bluffing the most. I didn’t expect that their family would worship bluffing, and even hope to be caught by bluffing. Take a bite, and since then have the talent to see clearly at night, I really wonder if they have brains when I listen to it.
The three people who were bitten by Lahu in Shanghe Village last year were all called out to chew into a pool of broken bones in the woods last year. The hunters in Luhe Village even offered Lahu as a god offering.
I buy meat at Orion's house. They have described the bluff in their minds. As soon as I heard it, I knew that they had never really seen bluff. Although I haven't seen the appearance of bluff myself, I know the bluff. Fu is absolutely impossible to be their friend or even patron saint as they describe.
Luffing is a more terrifying existence than bears, let alone ordinary people, even a big dog like Ah Fu will only be eaten alive, not to mention that people and animals who are scratched and scratched will be involuntarily controlled by it. It screams and loses its mind and goes to death.
The winter in Luhe Village feels much colder than in Shanghe Village. The cold wind is blowing, and my whole body feels like dried meat strips.
In the winter in Shanghe Village, I spend most of the time in the hut. The charcoal fire keeps the house warm, and I don’t have to worry about food and clothing. Every day is a lazy holiday.
This is different in Luhe Village. Every day, I have to go to work from morning to night, and there is almost no time to stop.
After the winter, desperate beggars or thieves will always come to the village to try their luck. The night before yesterday, two gangsters broke into a house near the village in the dark. They happened to be hit by the night watchman, Ah Fu and the old man Galle. The old man Le drew his sword to fight the gangster, and Ah Fu threw his teeth at him fiercely.
The two ragged gangsters, or the robbers, didn't even have any decent weapons. The only daggers they had made a shallow cut on Ah Fu's body. One arm of a man, after Ah Fu buried his head in dismembering the two of them, they died on the spot.
After all, Ah Fu is not a real dog. The so-called "dog" is just my description of its characteristics, saying that it looks like a dog, and it can guard the village and protect people like a dog.
But the dog in my mind will not eat people, at least not like Ah Fu who buries his head in his torn belly and devours his steaming heart and lungs. When Ah Fu ate the robber's internal organs, he was still alive. I doubt that the thin man must have regretted running into this village.
I took the stick in my hand and hit Ah Fu's head several times before it reluctantly pulled its big mouth full of blood from the belly of the corpse, and tugged at its ears and reprimanded it. How can you eat human flesh when you are hungry?
The old man Galle is inexplicable about my attack on Ah Fu. In his opinion, it is only natural for beasts to eat meat, especially for a giant forest wolf like Ah Fu. In his simple concept, robbers are not even people, even if they are captured alive. The head of the village is executed, and after being swallowed alive, it is best to string the wreckage with hemp rope and hang it on a tree outside the village for an exhibition, and give a hand to those who have evil intentions outside the village.
The old man and I rescued the family. The couple who survived the death knelt down and wanted to kiss my shoes to thank me. I refused, and the old man Caleb was the peacemaker who let the two people kiss his feet to calm the couple. Ashamed and angry, the old man explained to me when I went out that I was going to do as the locals do. After all, I am no longer a barbarian in Shanghe Village, so I can no longer disrespect etiquette.
I was dumbfounded and didn't want to kiss my shoes, but in turn they all thought I was a savage with no manners? It's outrageous! What garbage village?
The person who was bitten to death also made me sick. It's not the first time I've seen someone die, but I felt sick to my stomach when I gnawed on blood. I barely finished patrolling the rest with the swaddling clothes in my arms, and went home to take care of the wound. Alfred still bleeding.
