Doomed Destiny - C68
Er Nengdan’s name was currently Jin Yunshan. Because he had loved to show off since he was young, he always did things nimbly. His head was round, his eyes were round, and he exuded a sense of shrewdness. Since he was the number two, everyone gave him a nickname, Er Nengdan. Unable to stay in the village, he ran off to play in the city. He had somehow learned how to drive a car and even became the county governor’s driver. In our part of the world, he was in the limelight for a while. He could even say a few words to the village head.
During this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival, Er Nengdan went back to his hometown and got drunk. The village chief punched him in the face. Ask him why he beat me up. There was no reason. For no reason at all, he just wanted to punch the village chief. The village chief was beaten until his nose bled and his eyes turned green. He raised his leg and stomped on his stomach again. The village chief didn’t dare to retaliate, he only accompanied Er Nengdan who was smiling merrily while he coaxed the drunk, he didn’t even dare to fart.
He really bought a lot of things. I carried a lot of them. San Geda carried two boxes. Er Nengdan did not take anything, and only led his son to the front. San Geda could not shut his mouth, he kept saying that he had never seen it before, and then he had never seen it either. I was also secretly happy that I had something good to eat this time, so I didn’t have to nibble on the sweet potato anymore.
The son of the county governor was dishonest. He walked for a while, then stopped, then stopped again. I stopped to light the gun with a lighter. One moment there was a smack and another moment there was a smack. “He was using this cannon,” said San Pao. “He didn’t use a stick, and even if he did, it wouldn’t immediately sound. He would only sound after a while. It’s safe, we can’t kill it!
The kid said, “I’m polishing a cannon! You can also rub it on the skin of the matchbox! ”
I said, “Why are all the cannons you took out red? “Is there no other color!?”
The child said, “Red wedding! I like red! ” He lit a cannon and threw it at my feet. When I saw it smoking, I put my foot on it and spun around. After stomping on it like a mute cannon, it exploded with flames.
“I like to step on these kinds of cannons. It’s more fun than having a stick!” “No,” I said.
However, the county magistrate’s son was unwilling. He said that I had stepped on his cannon and wanted me to compensate him. Where am I supposed to get a cleaning gun for him, unless I get it out of his pocket? He cried for a long time, but to no avail. Er Nengdan and San Geda had coaxed him for half a day, and the commotion became even louder, and if they did not pull him, he would have rolled on the ground.
Er Nengdan started to complain to me: “What are you trying to do, stepping on a child’s cannon?!”
I said, “How can you talk to your brother like that? “What do you mean you’ve gotten a big son of a bitch!”
Er Nengdan pointed at my nose and said, “So what if you’re a brother! If you are my bro, then you are bro, if you aren’t bro, then you aren’t even fart! ”
The San Geda advised: “Stop being so noisy, we have only just met! Let them laugh at you on the street! ”
Er Nengdan squatted down and carried the child in his arms. He wiped away the tears on the child’s face and said gently, “Xiao Jun, don’t cry! I’ll buy the cannon for you! I’ll buy you as much as I need! ”
Xiao Jun cried and convulsed as if he had suffered a great grievance. “Uncle Shan, I don’t want cannons anymore!”
“Then what do you want?”
“I want you to hit him! Slap his face! Ten slaps, loud and clear, not a single one can be missing! ” Xiao Jun pointed at me and said.
Er Nengdan seemed to be troubled, and said: “Xiao Jun, how can you not understand! This is also your uncle. He is uncle, and I am second uncle! How can I hit him! ”
Xiao Jun squeezed his eyes and cried: “I don’t care! If you don’t give him ten resounding slaps! When we get home, I’ll tell my dad that you’re not good to me, so he’ll fire you! You can’t drive my car anymore! ”
I felt an indescribable distaste for the child in front of me. If I were to choose between him and his neighbor’s Shuangshuang, I would definitely choose Xiao Jun to kill.
Er Nengdan stood up, with a downcast face, he said to me: “Let’s see you do this! Why are you stepping on other people’s cannon! Would I crush you to death or would I collapse into deafness? “What do you think we should do?”
San Geda at the side opened his eyes wide and reminded me: “Shile nephew! Don’t let Er Xiao lose his job! Even the village head was angered by this work! ”
I felt helpless and bitter. I could only point at my face and say, “Brother, as long as you can do it, I’ll beat you up!”
The San Geda said, “Ten slaps won’t kill you! Er Nengdan, go easy on him! ”
Pow! Pow! Pow! Pa …
I was slapped ten times in a row. I felt that his hand was not light. His face was swollen and stinging. The surrounding villagers were all grinning from ear to ear as they watched the show.
Er Nengdan said: “Brother, I’m sorry! This packet of cigarettes with a filter on it, you take it! ”
Looking at the pack of cigarettes he handed over, it was the one from the big front door. I reached out and pulled the cigarette to the ground. “I can’t smoke!” I said. Smoke is rising from the grave of our ancestor, such a capable driver! ”
“Don’t pull!” Er Nengdan stepped onto the package of cigarettes and left with the county governor’s son. Several villagers rushed over to grab the packet of smoke that had been trampled on. San Geda was so angry that he immediately shouted: “This is mine! Mine! No one is allowed to snatch it away! ” He then went forward to pull at the crowd, and was pushed aside by someone and sat down on the ground.
San Geda grumbled at me, “Idiot, why don’t you take the cigarette!? Give it to me if you want it! That was a bag of big front doors! Consecutive. hairy. All the chairman has absorbed it! ”
I went home with my bags. After that, San Geda carried the two boxes back home.
Er Nengdan asked us to place the things inside the hall. He tore open a box, took out a yellow egg roll, and gave it to the county magistrate’s son.
The smell of the egg roll was so sweet I could smell it from a distance. I unconsciously licked my tongue. My stomach was really hungry. I wouldn’t even look at it when I used to live in a building.
San Geda looked at the egg roll, his eyes almost popping out. The Adam’s apple on his neck moved a little, and he asked: “Er Xiao, what is this fragrant thing?”
“Aiya, Third Uncle, don’t be greedy. Don’t worry about what it is, you can’t eat it! I’ll keep them for Xiao Jun to eat! After all, there was nothing good in the countryside! This thing is pretty nutritious! ” Er Nengdan said.
“Er Xiao, what did you bring me this time?” The San Geda asked with a smile.
Er Nengdan took out a few red, green and yellow bandages from a bag, and said: “I bought these for you. It was as beautiful as a colorful flag fluttering in the wind. All the people in the city are doing this! ”
San Geda put the handkerchief away, but he was not satisfied. He said, “I have seen bandages before. Is there anything else? ”
Er Nengdan took out another bra and shook it, asking: “Third Uncle, do you know what this is?”
San Geda snatched it, looked left and right, covering his face, and said: “The eyepatch is too big, what the hell is this?”
“Breast.” “Yo!”
“Ah, whose milk do you want to use? “Son?”
Er Nengdan said: “This is for Da Laozhu’s wife! Didn’t Da Laozhu just get married! I’ve never seen my sister-in-law before, so I’ll just treat this as a greeting gift for her! All the people in the city wear this! ”
“Aiya! Er Xiao, you are only older than Da Laozhu by three months, your abilities are much greater than him! This was such a rare thing! What else is missing? ” San Geda was still not satisfied after putting away his bra.
Er Nengdan took out a box of things from his bag. He opened it and took out a plastic paper bag, tore apart the paper bag, then pulled out a condom. Always blowing as big as a watermelon. He twisted his mouth shut and flung a large balloon, asking, “Third Uncle, have you seen this before?”
“Isn’t this a balloon!?”
“Vulgar!” This is not a balloon! “It’s a condom!”
“What …” What kind of trap was this? What is it for? ”
“Dai grasshopper (dialect) up!” He wouldn’t let a woman get pregnant! This is also my greeting gift to my sister-in-law! ” Er Nengdan said.
“Aiyah, Er Xiao! This was worn on a grasshopper! How do you want me to give Da Laozhu his wife! As a father-in-law! What are you doing with this thing! Our family is not childless! ” San Geda said with a dissatisfied look on his face.
People in cities wear this!” Look at us country people, giving birth to a child like a lamb to a pig, (it will be dialect, the meaning of life) a whole nest, a family of ten or eight have it! If you wear a condom, you won’t have children!
“The countryside is the countryside, the city is the city, that can’t compare! I don’t want this! Da Laozhu and his wife would not take it either. “Give me something useful to use!” The San Geda was getting anxious.
Er Nengdan gave her another roast chicken and a bottle of wine. A big piece of pork. Two boxes of cigarettes and a big bag of sweets. Only then did San Geda take his things and left in satisfaction.
I said, “Get some rat medicine! At home, there are many rats! ”
Er Nengdan took out a stack of money and gave me four pieces of yellow and five yuan, and said: “Brother, I’ll give this money to you, whatever you want to buy, I’ll give it to you!”
I said, “It’s only twenty yuan, what can I buy!”
“Twenty dollars? What can I buy? ” Er Nengdan’s eyes widened, he was obviously surprised, and then he became extremely angry: It’s already twenty pieces, and you think it’s not enough! Take this twenty dollars to the village canteen and see if you can buy everything for him! ”
It turned out that in the countryside in 1984, ten dollars was enough for five families to spend for half a year. If it was a very frugal family, ten dollars a year was not enough.
If the San Geda were to see these twenty dollars, he would definitely be envious to death.
So I took the money. Go out and find a place to buy rat poison. I had already decided to put some rat poison in the egg roll and poison the county governor’s child.
I asked around the village for the location of the snack bar. He asked about the place. There was no rat poison on sale in the canteen. Then I went to San Geda’s house. He saw that everyone in his house had tied their heads with red, green and yellow bandages. From the looks of it, each and every one of them seemed to be wearing a comb. Only the San Geda still wore a sheepskin hat.
I said, “Third Uncle, where can we find someone who can sell rat medicine?”
“We still have some!” You can use it! ”
San Geda found a brown paper packet for me. Opening it, I saw a red powder inside. He said to me, “You have to be careful not to get this stuff on top of the food. It’s very poisonous. Don’t just look at this, three to five oxen also died from the poison! ”
“Good!” Third Uncle, take it! ” I was so happy that I took out five yuan and gave it to San Geda to thank him.
“This… This… It’s too much! ” San Geda’s eyes widened as if he was frightened. He stuttered and his hands that were connected to the money were trembling.
When I was preparing to leave his house, I coincidentally saw Blind Old Lady, whose face had two burn marks that looked like huge copper coins, walk to the main entrance. She stopped, turned her wrinkled face towards me as if she could see me, and snapped, “Who the hell are you? Do you want to stir up trouble!? ”
I was startled and my scalp went numb. I felt that this blind old lady was not an ordinary person.
“Granny Nine! What are you doing! A lot of old people, scaring children with such a loud voice! ” San Geda yelled as he walked over to support the blind old lady.
I didn’t dare to linger any longer. I suppressed the fear in my heart and quickly walked around her.
Hurrying down the alley, I clenched my teeth and clenched my fists. A bold thought popped into my mind: I have to find a way to kill this blind old woman!
