Chapter 26: January 1995 Skylight
January 1995 Skylight
When I got home, I first wiped A Fu's big red mouth, and then cleaned the wound. The cotton dipped in alcohol and it twitched, but it didn't make a sound. After the wound was cleaned, I applied purple syrup, but there was no special treatment knife. The medicine for the wound could not be bandaged with gauze. Finally, the thick hairs around the wound were cut off with scissors to prevent them from sticking to the wound and affecting the healing.
After taking care of Ah Fu and feeding the baby and changing diapers, it was already late at night, and I leaned on Ah Fu to fall asleep.
The elbow-length stab wound wasn't deep, and it wasn't serious for a beast like Ah Fu, but I still asked Ah Fu to take a leave of absence to recuperate at home.
I have anti-inflammatories, but they may not always work. In this underserved world, inflammation of wounds can be fatal.
The village cut off the heads of the two thieves and sent them to the town, saying that they might be the robbers who offered a bounty in the town. If you are lucky, there will be a bounty. I hope it is true.
The condolence money did not wait, and the weapons that had not been issued for a long time were finally realized.
Previously, the village was not very optimistic about the work of me and Ah Fu. I always felt that the improvement of security in the village would be limited after more of me and Ah Fu. Compared with the obvious increase in expenses, it seemed uneconomical.
This time, Ah Fusheng tore up the two robbers and finally reassured the village chief. Normally, two guards face two robbers who are jumping over the wall. Even if they win with weapons, they may not be able to get better. They have to call for assistance to solve the problem. Moreover, the robbers Notoriously good at escaping, often without waiting for the guards to come to support, the robbers scurried out of the village and fled.
This time, Ah Fu's performance in facing the gangster with the murder weapon was highly praised by the village, and his value was also affirmed, so a heavy long-barreled iron gun was handed over to me.
With a child on my back and a wooden gun in my hand, I felt extremely powerful.
According to the promise of the village, as a staff member, I should be equipped with iron swords, but the blacksmith in the village died of illness last winter, and the original iron sword inventory was given to Shanghe Village. It is too expensive to buy iron swords from the town and send them to me. It's not worth it, my iron sword has been delayed for a long time.
This time, I made a contribution to Ah Fu, and the village was too embarrassed to continue to let me carry a wooden stick on patrol. Someone originally said that the dagger on the gangster could be given to me for a period of time, but after a few people discussed it, they all felt that it was too much. Shabby, it was bullying me, and in the end, after thinking about it, the village chief took out the treasured gun head that he had always kept, and asked the woodworker to spend his time with the best strong wooden pole and send it to me, and finally armed me.
I like this 1.7 meter long gun very much. Just as my colleagues considered, it is more suitable for a short and hairy head like me than a heavy iron sword.
On the day I got it, I couldn't help but try it on a few grass targets under the stone wall at the entrance of the village. Although there was no method, I was very confident in stabbing an unarmed farmer to death.
The head of my iron gun is very sharp, and it feels even better than other people's iron swords based on the material. The head of the iron gun is about 25 cm long, and the shaft of the gun is a smooth and straight stick. The wood is very hard, and two woodworkers in the village took turns to polish it for three days.
I thought that the barrel of the long-barreled gun was uniform in thickness. After I started it, I realized that the rear end of the gun barrel is much thicker, and the further it goes to the gun head, the thinner the barrel, so the weight is appropriate, and it is very comfortable to hold in the hand.
I am now the seventh person in the village to have a "high-end weapon". There are six iron swords in the village, one for each of the three full-time colleagues, one for the village chief, and the other two are used by several militiamen on duty. Take turns.
It is not that there are no other weapons in the village. For example, farmers have pitchforks, hunters have short bows and knives, and lumberjacks have axes. However, the quality of their weapons is generally poor and cannot be compared with ours.
I cherished the long-barreled gun too much. The barrel and the tip of the gun were protected with animal grease. Every morning, I would go to the grass man under the low wall to practice gunning for an hour or so. In an hour, no one in the village can know any marksmanship, but I believe that as long as I practice enough, it will be useful to shoot wherever I want.
Ah Fu continued to work after the scabs of the wound did not prevent him from moving. I carried a long gun and my son took the dog to stand upright at the entrance of the village every day. The young people in the village envy the young people in the village. Want to touch my handsome long-barreled gun.
I don’t care about the widow’s family now, or I want to forget them. Now I take good care of the baby myself. I can eat and sleep very smartly. He will be my son in the future. , otherwise I can let Ah Fu tear up that stinky woman's watch.
It's getting colder every day in winter, and if it wasn't for the thick leather cloak I bought with my new salary, I really couldn't stand outside for long hours.
Recently, the focus of the patrol has shifted to the night. I no longer work during the day. Instead, I have to lift torches with two other colleagues every four hours or so to patrol the village with Ah Fu. According to experience, this season of the year This is the time when the village is most vulnerable to night raids. The lack of food will not only allow wild animals to enter the village, but also make it easy for robbers to take risks.
Everyone's experience is very reliable. After only three days of night shift, we encountered a big guy who looked a bit like a wild boar. A mouth full of fangs lashed out at us.
It looks like that thing is not yet grown up, but the big head and the murderous look really make the scalp numb.
If there is no Ah Fu, even if the bow and arrow of the hunter in the village can take it down, it would not be enough, but with Ah Fu, it is different. Ah Fu is strong and agile, and he can take the seemingly immature beast from the animal. I was chased out of the dead end of the fence, and then the onlookers' hands seemed to be smashed by the stones. I dared to stand in the gap and stab the thing twice. After the thing was injured, its ferocity was greatly reduced. Broken throat.
Another night, there were a few people sneaking out of the village to spy on him, and Ah Fu found it long ago. He chased him out and knocked one down and killed him on the spot. If I wasn't worried about the group of people setting traps in the woods, I really wanted to chase them out and kill the others. All remain.
If Ah Fu was able to detect the movement outside the village from a distance, it was impossible for the robbers to raid the village at night like in previous years. If they wanted to loot the village, they had to come hard during the day, but the rotten sweet potatoes in the surrounding robber camps stink Eggs, they are not enough.
The most annoying thing about night shifts is that day and night are reversed, which affects sleep. I am growing up, and what I am most afraid of is that lack of sleep makes me unable to grow tall. Everyone else is on duty at night, only me, because the night patrol cannot be without A Fu, so I have to do it every day. I was dispatched three times at night, and I worked harder than others.
I protested several times, and it’s fine for me to work night shifts every day, but at least I have to pay for overtime. The old man Galle took care of the loss, and got some meat from Orion as compensation for my overtime work. In fact, I want gold coins more in my heart. Yes, after all, it’s almost the end of the month, but it’s okay to have meat to eat. I’m growing, but I don’t have enough nutrition.
My salary is not low, but my expenses are also high in winter. I can't stand standing in the cold wind all day without eating meat. The leather cloak is also an essential expense. If I hadn't brought a lot of milk powder and ham sausages to eat , just eating is enough for me to spend all my salary.
Not only that, but recently, I also feel that the clothes on my body are getting smaller and smaller. No matter how I stretch my clothes and pants, my ankles and wrists can't be covered. I can only wrap them with sackcloth, otherwise the wind will get in. Can freeze me to death.
But I am still quite capable. At least I saved a gold coin at the end of the month and took it through Shimen with joy.
Waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to touch my son and Ah Fu was really uncomfortable, and tossed and turned until the middle of the night before falling asleep again.
Not being able to practice guns early the next morning made me feel bad, but my parents were overjoyed with that gold coin, and they wanted to ask me the origin of the gold coin again. they explain? Don't say a word, just tell them that there is absolutely no problem with where the gold coins come from, and let them get rid of them quickly. I have to buy new clothes and eat meat every day.
My living conditions in the opposite world are poor, and I spend a lot of time on long clothes and long pants. I urgently need to buy two more sets to wear.
When I came home after school in the morning, my parents were happy because they had exchanged gold coins for money. I said I was going to buy clothes, and they took me out happily.
My parents are very confident this time. They used to take me to the mall to buy clothes of different brands, but this time they took me to the brand store.
"Hey, this small one is a little tight on the body." My dad was very puzzled when he put the clothes on me and found that it didn't fit.
"Strange..." I asked someone to give me a medium size while looking in the mirror wondering.
"Have you grown up?" My dad looked left and right.
"It seems to be true..." I myself felt as if it was not the same as before.
"Take a ruler and measure it." My dad asked a clothes seller to borrow a ruler.
Standing on the wall, my dad exclaimed: "Huh!"
"Ah? Have I really grown taller?"
"Son! You have grown taller! It's a full two centimeters!" My dad was very happy!
"Really...really?" I jumped three feet with excitement!
Omg! I've really grown taller!
Looking at the scale on the soft ruler, I almost cried, I really grew taller!
I'm just so happy! My dad was even happier than me. He spent 600 yuan to buy me a full-body outfit in the store.
I have never worn such expensive clothes since I was a child, and a pair of shoes is worth the price of my previous clothes, but my parents are happy, even if I said there is no need to buy such expensive clothes, they still insist on paying, even Just to celebrate the fact that I finally grew up.
The clothes are a bit bigger, and the clothes are a little loose. This is because I hope I can continue to grow taller. I used to be not long, and I am used to the loose feeling of ill-fitting clothes. Maybe it will be different in the future!
hey hey hey!
The clothes I wear are actually worn by many people in the school. After all, it is a small county. When I enter the school, I see four or five people wearing the same clothes and trousers. Even our class has the same style. It's also news. The front and rear seats also said that I love dressing up more than when I started school. I always change my clothes, which is smug.
How can I be stinky!
It's the second time I've bought clothes since the beginning of high school. Those people in my class who really love beauty don't have the same clothes, and no one says they're stinky. I wear the same clothes every day, and people say that when I change clothes, it's really unfair!
"Hey, you seem to be getting really tall," I put my arm around me at the same table: "It's a size bigger in my arms, you're going to grow into a big dog!" He looked regretful.
"Illusion?" I only grew two centimeters, how could it be so obvious.
"It's not an illusion, I feel very accurate! It used to be like this, and now it's like this... It's different." He squeezed my arms and legs, and then lifted my clothes to look at my waist, but I reached out and opened it. .
"It's just too thin, are you a picky eater?" He looked disgusted.
"I'm still picky eaters?" I kept complaining: "I told you that I eat three bowls of food in one meal, and I'm like a starving ghost all day long. He's too tall."
"Really?" He didn't believe it.
"Really," I patted my belly: "But to be honest, I don't want to be fat either. It's not good to eat fat.
" Make a fool of yourself: "At least gain another ten pounds..."
I don't like to hear it: "Liang Jiangbo, aren't you fat yourself? Why do you want me to eat fat!" My tablemate is skinny. , but keep me in charge all day long, my character is too bad, and I owe my mouth.
"I'm just fine, look, I still have abs and pecs!" He stretched out his hand and lifted up his clothes to show me, the wheat-colored abdominal muscles were beautiful piece by piece.
"Che, what's so great about this?" I didn't want to be outdone: "I fucking have it too! It's much better than yours." I glanced left and right and no one looked at me, and I also lifted my clothes to show him, the white belly was full of small abdominal muscles It is also as clear as a knife and an axe.
"Huh!" My tablemate was dumbfounded, smashed his mouth and reached out to touch it, but I was knocked out by my hand.
I restocked the underwear, and I asked him, "How is it? It's amazing, right?"
"How many pieces in total, I can't see clearly, I'll take a look!" Liang Jiangbo reached out to pick up my clothes again.
"Go away, go touch your 'girlfriend', class is over!" I turned over the textbook and signaled to him that the teacher was already on the podium, and he retracted his hand with a look of regret.
