    "Everyone, get up quickly, something happened! It's big!" "Master, hurry up!" "" In the middle of the night, there was a sudden burst of noise in the village. Someone discovered that Mu's home was blazing into the sky. In shock, he hurriedly called out to the villagers.  Get up and put out the fire.  ¡°Woof, woof, woof¡­¡± Suddenly, the peaceful village was in a state of panic.  It is a common thing in rural areas that when one party is in trouble, all parties support it. Even those who have a bad relationship with the Mu family do not say much at this time. All adults and children go out, carrying buckets, iron pots, everything  Something that can scoop water and rush to the scene.  Not only the villagers of Kunlun Village, but also the villagers of Xiaoyao Village next door came to support.  My grandpa and I are of course no exception.  "Crackling, crackling" The raging fire enveloped the houses on both sides of Mu's hometown, and even the trees inside and outside the yard were not spared.  This fire was most likely set by Uncle Fan.  I know it all.  In the panic scene, Uncle Fan didn¡¯t know when he changed into a pair of intact clothes, and he held on and looked for water to put out the fire with everyone else. More people held shovels and threw snow into the fire from a distance.  "Whew!" The fire did not get smaller at all. Instead, it became stronger due to the villagers' rescue and adding water and snow.  "Meow! Meow" Beside the chaotic fire scene, the big black cat let out a sad and miserable cry. Its fur was burnt to a mess by the fire. From time to time, it ran into the fire and ran out again.  "This big black cat is so pitiful!" "What a smart cat, Mu Lao is probably doomed this time!" "" None of the simple villagers thought that this fire was set by an outsider, and they only sighed at Mu Lao  What happened was a destined natural disaster.  Inadvertently, from a distance, I saw the great monk in the field next to Mu Lao's house, far away from the crowd, with his hands clasped together and babbling scriptures, as if he was trying to save Mu Lao.  ¡­ ¡­ Mu Lao¡¯s funeral was jointly handled by Kunlun Village and Xiaoyao Village.  Uncle Fan did not show any abnormality, he was just like ordinary people, but with my keen sense, I sensed the deep sadness hidden in his heart. Seven days later, I heard that he fell ill.  People went to visit, but Aunt Fan stopped them, saying that Uncle Fan was in a bad mood and no one wanted to see him. Through Fan Guoqing, I conveyed to Uncle Fan my plan to visit him, but it didn't work out.  The big black cat also made a home at Uncle Fan's place, but rarely went out.  ¡­ ¡­ In this twelfth lunar month, abnormal deaths occurred one after another, including the young Taoist priest in the cave in the back mountain of Kunlun Village, the six-fingered mute elder brother in Xiaoyao Village, and the old man Mu who lived alone in the two villages It¡¯s unlucky!  The elders in the village discussed it one after another and finally decided to cancel this year¡¯s social fire party.  As a result, the young people and adults in the village had nothing to do, so they gathered together and played mahjong all day long.  There are still more than two weeks until the Chinese New Year.  But my family hasn¡¯t arranged anything for the New Year yet. My grandfather¡¯s little savings were all spent on paying off hospital debts due to his leg injury. He saw other people either killing pigs or going to the county town to buy a lot of New Year goods.  I see it in my eyes, and feel envy, jealousy, and hatred in my heart.  Especially on Laba day. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out out of the local custom, there¡¯s a saying: ¡®To celebrate Laba, kill dad¡¯. Of course, it¡¯s not really killing dad, but letting dad bleed and give some pocket money to the children at home.  ¡°I don¡¯t know where my damn bastard went.  On this day, I locked the door from the inside, not letting any of my friends come to play, and I didn¡¯t go out myself.  "Go to town with me tomorrow!" Grandpa saw my depressed look, with a touch of moisture in my cloudy eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Go to town and make money, I will buy you new clothes."  Firecrackers" "" I couldn't hold back the tears and fell down.  "Grandpa, I don't want new clothes or firecrackers" I don't even know if this is true or not I can't bear to see my grandpa sad and worried, but I also envy my companions in the village "Grandpa, you  Rest at home. I will go to town tomorrow to help people sharpen scissors! " "Ah!" Grandpa was suddenly startled by my decision and reached out to touch my forehead, thinking I had a fever.  "Baby, don't scare grandpa, but don't think too hard! Don't you hate going out with grandpa the most?Well, don¡¯t go either, grandpa should go alone!  Listening to the voice, grandpa was really panicked.  ¡­ The next day, my grandpa still didn¡¯t agree with me going to the town at the foot of the mountain alone to help others sharpen their knives. Instead, he borrowed Grandpa Jiao¡¯s bicycle and agreed with me to go down the mountain together.  The cold wind was howling, and I was riding a bicycle along the winding gravel road. The oncoming wind was very biting. My grandpa insisted that I put on his woolen coat and dog leather gloves.  "Look, my hands are made of calluses, and they work better than any gloves!" Halfway through, he smiled and raised his big red hands to show off to me.  "" I forced a smile, but I was crying in my heart: Grandpa, in this life, I must get ahead, study hard in the future, and repay you for your upbringing and love.  Fortunately, it took more than 20 minutes to go down the mountain.  "Sold, sold, good dried fruits," "" The market in the small town is also the busiest time every year during the twelfth lunar month.  The bustling market is full of beautiful things, including girls and wives wearing floral rags and cotton-padded clothes, young people wearing suits and bell-mouthed cloth shoes, donkey carts, horse-drawn carriages, bicycles, vegetable stalls, meat stalls, grocery stalls, and tape recorders.  The sound of loudspeakers, the shouts of vendors, the laughter of young people who have just come out of the video hall Here, it seems that it is not in the same world as the mountains.  In the past, I would have spent a few dollars with my grandpa to play by ourselves, either watching videos or buying some food to satisfy our cravings. But this time, I helped my grandpa put the knife sharpening stool and tools on the ground and watched  Set up a stall.  "Uncle, you are out working again. Is your leg healed?" "Long time no see, Mr. Wang, come on, have a cigarette!" "" After a while, many women and old people appeared one after another to chat with grandpa.  With kitchen knives in their hands, there were also some old people from the town who came to join in the fun with a pony.  "This is your grandson, he's already this old." "Has he gone to school yet" "" Grandpa was sharpening his kitchen knife while chatting with others, smiling all over his face. He was much happier than at home.  The noisy market, the pleasantries in my ears, and my heart full of worries, rarely paid attention. My eyes were fixed on the brick-sized whetstone under my grandfather's hands, but my mind was on the Fenbao Cliff in the sea of ????consciousness.  It takes grandpa about five minutes to sharpen a pair of scissors.  If I take out Fenbaoya, I will definitely save a lot of time and energy. In this case, I can make more money every day.  "Well, take it, go buy some food!" After greeting the four guests, grandpa earned two dollars. He untied his cotton-padded coat, took out a bunch of handkerchiefs from the inner pocket, opened it, and picked up the pieces from the pieces.  A two-dollar note with the largest denomination was drawn inside.  "Take these four dollars and go to a restaurant by yourself!" "Whoops! Old man Wang, you're not dead yet!" I was about to shake my head to reject my grandfather's kindness, when a few young men passing by made a death-seeking sound.  .  The guy who spoke, his head was apart, wearing brown pointed leather shoes, bright red bloomers, and a green suit on his upper body. He had a pair of round toad glasses on his rosacea nose and an unlit one in his mouth.  filter cigarettes.  There seemed to be something wrong with his neck, and his head was always tilted upward, even when he was looking down at his grandfather who was sharpening a knife on the stall.  "Fourth, who is this old man?" Behind him is a green-headed young man, wearing a shiny leather jacket, with a rare small gold ring on the finger holding a cigarette. I don't know if it is real or fake.  .  The cigarette in Toad Mirror's mouth curled up, and he showed his teeth and said: "Who knows where this old guy came from? I haven't seen him here for a long time. Haha, I'm just about to find some money to give you a chance to catch the wind, big brother."  Well, this old man came just in time." As he said, he walked over and stretched out his feet "What are you going to do?" "Huh!  I stood up suddenly, holding a kitchen knife that my grandfather had just sharpened in my hand, staring at the toad mirror that was about to kick the bicycle.  "Tianqi, what are you doing!" Grandpa put down what he was doing and quickly grabbed me.  "Fourth, what do you guys want to do? Bullying other people's youths is nothing." "" Several old people in the town who were chatting with grandpa started to accuse a few young people.  "Tianqi?" Leather Jacket's eyes lit up when he heard his grandfather calling me my name.?I grabbed Toad Mirror and asked, "Is your name Wang Tianqi? Are you from Kunlun Village?" "" I stared at Toad Mirror and the leather jacket in front of me without saying a word, thinking that my grandpa used to only  I am afraid that I have suffered a lot of grievances while working here. From now on, I feel that such things cannot happen again "How do you know the name of the child?" Grandpa was very stable. He frowned and asked Toad Mirror.  "Uncle Wang, you must be Blacksmith Wang!" Leather Jacket, who was originally serious, suddenly changed his expression and became enthusiastic. He glanced at the messy tools on the ground and said, "It's almost dinner time, uncle."  "You haven't eaten yet, let's go, I'll treat you." "" Grandpa's frown deepened, even the toad mirror's mouth was open like a lens, and several old people around him were whispering to each other.  Full of curiosity.  "I can't bear the meal you invited me!" As if he thought of something, my grandfather spoke immediately and spoke rudely to Leather Jacket.  "What do you say, you damn old man" "Bah!" Leather Jacket turned around and gave Toad Mirror a slap in the face, "Shut it!" At this moment, his eyes were sinister and sharp, like those murderers on TV.  Like a crime.  "Uncle, excuse me, you are busy" He nodded respectfully to my grandfather, his eyes fell on me in the leather jacket, he looked at me carefully, twitched the corners of his mouth, then turned and walked away.  After taking a few steps, he said to Toad Mirror: "Fourth brother, don't fucking harass the old and the young again. You know what? I'm warning you, otherwise you won't even know how you died."  "Grandpa."  "Who is that guy in the leather jacket today?" On the way home in the afternoon, I asked my grandpa, "He looks awesome." This question lingered in my mind for a whole day, and my intuition told me.  , that man has something to do with his missing father.  "" Grandpa pushed the bicycle, as if he didn't hear what I asked, and didn't speak.  "" After a while, I asked him: "Is it related to that bastard?" "Why are you asking?" Grandpa turned around and glared at me angrily. When he turned around again, his waist was struggling to push the cart.  It's even more powerful.
