I light incense to worship the gods

"When I was a child, I lived in Qianzhaojiatun, a rural area next to Songjiang River. In addition to farming, our village basically relied on fishing in the Songjiang River. One autumn, my second uncle was picking up corn in the field (that is, breaking off the corn cobs to pack). into the bag), I saw a mouse bigger than a cat eating corn on a pile of corn not far away."

"Well, it's true that there used to be really big rats in the villages. I saw them when I was a kid." A brother from Northeast China interjected.

Auntie Dongbei continued: "At that time, my second uncle said that the big mouse was sitting on the pile of corns with its back to him. The posture was like a child sitting on the ground eating. My second uncle shouted at that time, and the mouse did not run away. Instead, he looked back at my second uncle, and then continued to eat. My second uncle was also angry at that time, thinking that the mice were no longer afraid of people, maybe they had turned into sperms, so he picked up the sickle and left the mouse." The people around him gradually became fascinated.

"Maybe the mouse heard my second uncle coming, and suddenly got up from the ground, stood on two feet like a human, threw the half-eaten corn stick in his hand towards my second uncle, and bared his teeth and made a sound The terrifying cry was nothing like the rats in the Northeast. My second uncle was also a little scared at the time, but it was a rat after all. My second uncle swung the sickle towards the rat. The rat really seemed to have become a spirit. , jumped lightly and dodged."

"Oh my god." The crowd watching the excitement exclaimed, as if they had also experienced the scene at that time.

"Then the big rat rushed towards my second uncle's face. He was so frightened that he hurriedly slashed with his sickle. In a panic, the rat let out a scream and then headed towards the river. Then he ran away, and after a few swipes he disappeared." The mouse might have become a spirit, several people lamented.

"Later, my second uncle said that the mouse seemed to be limping when it ran. It must have been injured in the leg by my second uncle." Aunt Dongbei was talking with spit, and everyone listened with rapt attention.

"What happened next?" everyone asked.

"Later, my second uncle was carrying a sack of corn cobs on his back on his way home that night. It was a little dark and he couldn't see the road clearly, so he tripped on a corn stalk on the field ridge and sprained his calf. I limped home, and by the time I got home, my calves and ankles were already swollen." Having said this, Aunt Dongbei drank some water, moistened her throat and continued.

"In those years, the medical conditions in rural areas were not good. Unlike now, if something is broken and you need to take an All the doctors in the town came to see me, but they all said it couldn't be cured and there was nothing they could do. The whole trip was delayed for almost half a month." That's not it. Seeing a doctor at that time was very difficult. There was an older aunt who felt the same way. explain.

"Later, there was nothing we could do. Seeing that the leg was getting worse and worse, everyone sent my second uncle to the county hospital. The county hospital ordered an Part of the flesh and part of it have grown together with the newly grown tissue, and the best treatment period has been missed. The wound is far away from the artery. It is recommended to fix it with a plaster board and treat it conservatively. It may cause disability in the future." At this point. , Aunt Northeast sighed, and everyone also felt sorry.

"Later, my second uncle finished plasterboarding at the county hospital and then returned to the village. He recuperated at home every day. One day, my aunt came to my house in Zhaojiatun and saw my second uncle lying on the kang with an injured leg. She asked the second uncle, "How are you doing?" How did I get my legs done? That’s what people in the surrounding villages called me. My second uncle said that he fell while carrying corn. My aunt said, I’m afraid she offended someone. "What does this old lady know how to order? There is someone He said something while watching the excitement, and everyone also followed suit and laughed.

"My aunt was a very powerful immortal in my hometown at that time. She was famous in every village in the world. At that time, my elders were a little panicked when they heard what my aunt said. My aunt asked about the time when her leg was broken. After looking at my second uncle’s birthday and horoscope, he actually told the story of how my second uncle used a sickle to kill a mouse. My second uncle was also shocked at the time, because he has not told anyone about this incident since it happened. However, only he himself knows that my second uncle was lying on the kang, kowtowing to my aunt, and asked my aunt to help heal his legs and save his life." Tell me how powerful this person was in the past. There are powerful immortals, but none of this works now. When the people around me heard this, they all followed your words and started talking to me.

The old northeastern aunt continued, "My aunt returned to Zhaojiatun that day and took the set of things from the dancing master and two blades. At that time, my family and my second uncle lived in the front and back yards. I was still young at that time, and my family wouldn't let me "Children, I even climbed under the window to see clearly, but I couldn't see clearly." "I remember that night, my aunt was beating a broken leather drum, wearing a red dress with green flashes on it, and she jumped up The bells on my clothes jingled, accompanied by the sound of drums, which frightened me at the time. But the more frightened I became, the more curious I became and the more I wanted to see. I saw my aunt pick up a nail that was not too long. Put it on my calf, and then took a hammer and nailed it in all at once. I was so scared that I almost screamed, and then my mother dragged me away." When Aunt Northeast said this, it seemed like it happened back then. Still vivid in my mind.

At this point, the people around who were listening to the story and watching the fun also trembled. Some people even touched their calves. More and more people gathered around. At this time, the conductor came over. Seeing that there were many people gathered around, they thought something had happened. What happened, came over.

"What are you doing with so many people around?" the conductor asked seriously.

"Ah...it's nothing. Notice, we have nothing to do here. Let's chat." The Northeastern eldest brother smiled awkwardly.

"What are you talking about? There are so many people around. Come on, stop crowding around. Go back to your seat. Look at your things and be careful not to lose them." The conductor gave the eviction order.

The people in the upper and middle bunks also retracted their heads.

"Little girl, you are not from this car, are you?" the conductor suddenly asked me.

"Ah...yes, I'm not from this car." I replied awkwardly.

"Come on, come on, show me your ticket." The conductor stretched out his hand.

I took out a sleeper card from my pocket and handed it to the conductor.

Some young friends may want to ask, what is a sleeper card? For those born after 00, a sleeper card can be said to be an object with a strong sense of the times.
