only in this mountain

After that time, Zhang Erbai didn't bother Zhang Huai anymore, but let Zhang Daming be buried in a hurry, because the smell of the corpse was really bad, and the rain hasn't stopped since that day, and the weather forecast said that the whole province Widespread rainfall is likely to continue until mid to late October.Another reason is that Wen Yanyan's natal family has been staying there, and he has no chance to ask Wen Yanyan for money.Before the rain formed in the morning, Zhang Erbai beckoned people to hurriedly carry Zhang Daming up the mountain.

An old man in the village shook his head and sighed uncontrollably. Zhang Daming's tomb had been soaked in water and had already become a very ominous place in terms of feng shui. In addition, he had died unjustly, so he didn't know what bad things would happen in the future.

"There is a grievance and a debtor. He knows who my elder brother was harmed. Those who have done something wrong should sleep tightly in the middle of the night." Zhang Erbai didn't care what the villagers thought of him at all. After Zhang Daming was buried He kept looking for Wang Gourd, and if he couldn't stop him, he emptied the chairs and cabinets he had made.

As soon as Wen Yanyan's mother's family left, Zhang Erbai pretended to be the head of the family and threatened Wen Yanyan to hand over all the family's money to him for safekeeping.Poor Wen Yanyan, a blind and weak woman, has to protect her son who has lost his father and stopped talking. She sheds tears all day long and suffers unspeakably.

Zhang Yunyuan visited Wen Yanyan a few times, and suggested that Wen Yanyan go to the city to receive treatment. Zhang Yuze's study should not be delayed any longer. Zhang Erbai blocked him back with a few words: "Can you guarantee 100% treatment? The fee is so expensive, will you pay for it?" After going there a lot, Zhang Erbai said, "Have you taken a fancy to my sister-in-law? Why are you so concerned about it? You have been a bachelor for so many years, so you are not ashamed. "Zhang Yunyuan was so angry that his whole body was smoking, but he couldn't do anything.

It rained continuously, and the temperature dropped to around ten degrees Celsius in October.Jiang He didn't bring much thick clothes, and Zhang Huai helped him with a thick quilt so he wouldn't wake up from freezing in the middle of the night. Moreover, when he had a cold, Zhang Huai used ginger to boil eggs for him and Houttuynia cordata soup every day. He had a love-hate relationship with Zhang Huai, he pinched his nose and finally poured it into his mouth.

In fact, Jiang He felt ashamed to shed tears in front of him last time. Every time he saw Zhang Huai, he would feel his heart beating faster and his ears burning. We met, but Zhang Huai couldn't be seen for a day, and he couldn't wait to see him.

Without Zhang Huai's supervision, Jiang He's procrastination relapsed, he was lazy during the day, and worked overtime at night. Recently, he accepted an order from Ye Xuanling to draw illustrations for a novel. The manuscript fee was not high, but he liked the theme better.I went to bed at three o'clock in the morning, and when I woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning the next day. The second idiot defecated and urinated in the living room again, and the sofa was bitten by a hole.He scolded the second idiot and drove him to the yard. When he went to release the chickens, he found that the basket could hardly hold them.After washing up, Jiang He opened the gate of the yard while thinking about where to get a bigger basket, and suddenly found a fat, round native chicken lying on the door.

"Why is there a chicken?" It's really strange to lie obediently at the door without running or moving.

The chicken crowed twice: "It's obviously for you."

"Ah?" Jiang He was stunned for a moment, "Is it Zhang Huai?"

The chicken seemed a little surprised, and stared at Jiang He for a while: "Goo."

"Really, why are you being so nice to me? It seems that I mentioned to him the day before yesterday that I want to eat fried chicken..." He lifted the chicken up, and sure enough, he saw that the chicken's legs were tied with a rope, in case no one came. Sometimes it will run away.

The big fat chicken struggled a little, cooing non-stop: "I must like you!"

The cry attracted the second idiot who was having fun in the yard, and the second idiot jumped up and hugged Jiang He's leg to declare his ownership: "Stinky chicken, get out, don't touch him!"

Jiang He pushed the second idiot aside, and comforted him with a smile: "Silly dog, I'll add chicken legs to you tonight~" The second idiot couldn't understand at all, and was so anxious that he wanted to jump up and slap the chicken to death. It's been a long time since I hugged myself.

"How do you make fried chicken cutlets? Do you still need to buy flour?" Covering the chicken with a basket to prevent the two idiots from biting it, Jiang He began to search for recipes for fried chicken cutlets, "...what the hell is bread crumbs? Is it so complicated, let’s forget it.” His stomach protested hunger at the right time, so he had to put down his phone to make something for himself. After eating, he continued to draw. The chicken was thrown aside and sang for himself. Afternoon's dead love.After four o'clock in the afternoon, he saw the second idiot lying on the door of the living room, biting a bone that he didn't know when he had hidden it.

Sighing, after thinking about it, Jiang He went to the kitchen to get a knife and prepared to eat chicken stew tonight.He is not a natural vegetarian. After living for more than 20 years, his body has become the grave of many animals. If the human beings are turned into food on the table of animals, it will be the same situation.

But saying it is one thing, doing it is another. He has never killed a chicken, and he never saw his family kill it when he was a child. Neighbors help.Although Zhang Huai brought the chicken, Jiang He didn't want to wait for him to come. He didn't want to depend on Zhang Huai for everything.

Although the chicken was raised on a vegetarian diet, this chicken was obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp. It kept saying that it was not afraid of death, and encouraged Jiang He to kill it, but Jiang He retracted the knife as soon as it approached its neck.

The weasel on the courtyard wall blinked its small eyes for a long time, and finally jumped off the courtyard wall and turned into a human form, and said with a smile: "If you don't know how to kill a chicken, don't kill it, or you will hurt yourself."

"Cuckoo, kill me quickly. If you kill me, you will have meat to eat. My meat is fragrant and soft, and it is soft and soft. I will accompany you to the end of the world~"

"Putting out the head and retracting the head is also a knife. Come on, I won't hide, kill me quickly, let me fulfill the long-cherished wish of being a chicken in this life, die well, and have no regrets."

"Chicken is inherently mortal, die early and live early..."

Hearing it keep barking, Jiang He's head was going to explode, he looked up to the sky and sighed, "You're just a chicken, really don't add too much drama to yourself!"

Huangshan said: "Anyway, it's just a chicken, just pretend that you don't understand what it says."

His words reminded Jiang He, and he asked, "Is it because of the mountain god stone that I can understand animals?" Huang Shan nodded with a half-smile.Jiang He thought about it carefully, then suddenly threw the chicken and the knife away, pointed at the chicken and said, "It can also understand my words!"

"You are not stupid." Huangshan picked up the chicken that was furious as he approached, and said with a faint smile: "The mountain god Shi is the spirit of the mountain god, and the aura of mountains, rivers, sun and moon is naturally boundless. It's just that you, an ordinary mortal, don't know how to use it, so you can only understand the speech of animals. But the animals that communicate with you are the lowest-level animals. I don't understand what you're talking about."

"And it's probably a coincidence that this chicken can understand human speech, and it doesn't have much spiritual power. Otherwise, you can ask it?"

"Hey, chick, why can you understand me?"

"Cuckoo cluck cluck..."

"It's no use pretending to be stupid. The one in front of you is Huang Daxian, a weasel who has practiced for thousands of years. There is only one way to think about the consequences of lying."

"I implore the powerful Huang Daxian to eat me right now, I'm tired of laying eggs endlessly! Huang Daxian ate me! Huang Daxian ate me!"

The big fat chicken seemed to have suddenly joined some cult, and kept yelling for the yellow shirt to eat it. After a while of jumping, the weasel spirit hid all the way to the door so as not to get covered in chicken feathers.Maybe it was too much tossing, the big fat chicken was suddenly tired, and he lay down on the ground casually, his legs twitched like chicken plague.

"It's a good thing to be able to understand people's words. You clearly know that you humans are using us, making us keep laying eggs and laying eggs. After using them, you will kill and eat meat. It's so heartless. I don't want to be a hen in the next life. I want to be a cock!"

Poor chicken, it may not know that the roosters in the chicken farm are even more pitiful. Most of the roosters are crushed as soon as they are born and then fed to the hens as feed.

"After all, you still haven't told us why you can understand human speech."

"Heh, this is a secret. This is a secret between me and Little Ginseng. You must never tell it to a third creature."

Little ginseng, I'm still a little nervous, and you've already said it, so I can guess that you must have eaten the little ginseng.

"Can plants also become refined?"

"Everything has a spirit, and you humans are not the only ones who know how to learn and think. During thousands of years of evolution, plants live the longest. If humans die, it is not impossible for the earth to be ruled by plants."

Jiang He nodded and sighed, and he didn't agree with Huang Shirt's words. He watched the big fat chicken lying on the ground stretch its neck to tease the second idiot next to it, and inexplicably thought of the colorful big bird that was entangled with the boa constrictor back then. If he hadn't done much back then, maybe the so-called mountain god stone has already been in Huang Shan's hands, this world is really wonderful.

The yellow shirt covered his mouth and snickered: "The law of nature is that herbivores eat plants and carnivores eat animals. Humans are omnivores so they eat everything. There is nothing wrong with eating meat. It supplements calcium and brain, so kill it. "

This stinky weasel is really hypocritical, obviously he wants to eat meat.

Jiang He looked up at the sky, there was no essential difference between killing and eating meat and not killing and eating meat. Didn't monsters practice to maintain a light body from the inside to the outside? After eating meat, dirty things would still be absorbed.

Don't care where he saw the crooked door, anyway, he didn't dare to kill the chicken, whoever wants to eat it will use the knife, and in the worst case, he will continue to raise it.

Because of raising this noisy chicken, the family will have no peace. Er Fool sees it as a thorn in his side, and it often joins the group of half-grown chickens to chase Er Foo all over the yard. It is pecked bald.Er Fool's status in the family was declining day by day, even the kennel was taken over by chickens, and Jiang He blamed it for always getting its fur on the sofa.

Unable to stay at home, Er Fool often ran outside to play by himself. It was not that he had never gone out alone before, and the village was relatively closed, so it was impossible for him to run very far.

There were two extra eggs steamed for dinner that day, and Jiang He planned to give it to Er Fool before he finished eating. He searched around the house and found no sign of Er Fool, and even went to the place where Er Fool often played.It gets dark earlier in October, and the second idiot is covered in black, so it's really hard to find if he hides deliberately.

But with the IQ of the second idiot, is it possible to hide it?

"Second idiot, two idiot..." After calling Er idiot's name more than a dozen times in a row, Jiang He felt that he had become a fool. The villagers passed by him as if watching a joke, and he didn't have the nerve to ask them if they had seen his dog.

He searched along the mountain path all the way up the mountain, worried that the second idiot had gone crazy and ran up the mountain, but he didn't bring anything when he came out. The night fell quickly, and the surroundings were dark in a short while, and the dew wet the shoes and it was cold and dry. With the tide, his heart gradually sank to the bottom.

"Second idiot, where did you go?" Lights were lit up in the village in the distance, converging into a faint band of light, and he was alone on the field path.

Just when he didn't know what to do, a dark figure suddenly appeared beside the straw piled up beside the rice field.When Zhang Daming was buried, the team happened to pass through this section of road. Jiang He suddenly had a bad association, turned around and started running. It was too dark to see the road clearly. As soon as he sprained, the whole person fell to the ground suddenly.His nose was the first to touch the cold grass, and he felt a strange soreness spread from the base of his nose to his eyes, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Jiang He?" The figure also came up to him, and asked in confusion, "What are you doing here?"

This person is not some strange "thing", but Zhang Huai.

Jiang He covered his nose and couldn't speak, his hands were sticky, and his mouth was also fishy and sweet, as if his nose was bleeding from the fall just now.Zhang Huai pulled him up and asked him again, "Are you okay?" Jiang Heweng replied that he was fine.Zhang Huai took him two steps, and he almost cried again: "My feet hurt."

People's eyesight was bad in the dark, and Jiang He kept covering his nose and mouth. Zhang Huai didn't know what happened to him, so he helped him down the mountain slowly.Back in Jiang He's house, the second idiot yelled and rushed towards the two of them. If Jiang He couldn't understand what it was saying, he would definitely beat him up. The legs were shaking constantly: "The bad boy threw me into the river, woohoo, I couldn't get up, I almost died!"

Huang Shan and Xiong Xiong were sitting on the sofa playing games on Jianghe's computer, and when they saw them coming back, they showed puzzled expressions: "What's wrong?"

Jiang He's clothes were covered in grass, and there were mottled bloodstains on the sleeves and front. He hadn't let go of his hands, and there was blood in the crevices of his fingers. It was quite scary at first glance.But in fact, all the blood has dried up after walking all the way, and he just didn't dare to let go because of the pain.Zhang Huai frowned and took his hand away, it was useless for him to resist and let him go.

"It's not a nosebleed, the root of the nose is cracked a little, and now there is no bleeding, so it's not a big problem." Even though he said this, there was a flash of distress in his eyes, and he asked him to sit down and pour hot water by himself, using wet The towel helped him wipe away the blood around the wound.

"How did you go up the mountain?"

The second idiot was still rubbing against his leg, Zhang Huai held his hand to wash it, after hearing the question, Jiang He looked at Zhang Huai in a daze, and said extremely aggrieved: "The second idiot is gone, I'll go to the mountain to look for him. When I saw you suddenly, I thought I had hit a ghost."

Zhang Huai explained: "I'm sorry, Chen Yun's family lost a sheep, and I helped her brother find the sheep."

It was fine if he didn't explain, and Jiang He pulled his hand away from him as soon as he finished speaking.Ordinary people may forget the names casually introduced by others, unless the intersection is constant, Jiang He's memory is better, especially the things he cares about will be particularly deep. Chen Yun should be the last time Zhang Yunde took his girlfriend home at the banquet. The pretty girl next to Zhang Huai hasn't gone out since she returned to the village last time, and she seems to be planning to open a small supermarket in the village.

The root of the nose hurts, and even the exhaled breath is hot, and my heart is blocked.

When Zhang Huai went out to pour water, Huang Shan smiled deeply at his back.

"Ah, why is it black!" Xiong Xiong slapped the computer hard twice, so frightened that Jiang He thought that he had broken the computer, so he quickly took it over to check, and found that it was just out of battery, but he didn't want these two monsters to stay at home. Sitting, so I didn't tell him the reason.

Huang Shirt squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "What a narrow-minded human being." He deliberately paused for a few seconds, and then continued: "You don't want to know what happened to your dog?"

Jiang He looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "What happened to my dog?"

"Your dog is so stupid. When someone waved at it, it wagged its tail and passed by. Then it was thrown into the river. The kid beat it with a stick to keep it from going ashore, and chased it for three miles."

"What kind of child would throw a dog into the river?" Jiang He couldn't imagine how cruel such a child would be, and at the same time, he was glad that Er Fool met a good monster: "Did you save it? Thank you—"

Before he finished speaking, Huang Shan covered his mouth and said with a grin: "How can it be, your dog climbed ashore by itself, but it saw Xiong Xiong running back after him."

"Huh? So you just watched the kid throw the idiot into the river, and then watched the kid beat him all the way?" Jiang He withdrew the guilt he had just raised, and his affection for the two monsters fell to the ground. zero.

"You humans' affairs have never been in our hands. Humans have laws, and we demons also have rules. If you don't interfere with each other, you won't disturb the order."

It sounds grand, but there is no principle when eating meat from his family.He hugged the second idiot distressedly, brushed away its thick fur, and really saw that there were many scars on its head and body, and all four paws were damaged to varying degrees. I know that I have done something wrong, and I am afraid of being scolded again.

Jiang He pinched the ears of the two idiots, and said, "You silly dog, let's see if you dare to run around again."

The second idiot lay on his knees with his head drooping, his eyeballs were so pitifully wet.

"Are your feet okay? Let me see your feet."

Under the gaze of two monsters and a dog, Zhang Huai lifted Jiang He's left foot, took off his shoes and socks, and found that his instep was swollen.

"Is there any ice cubes in the refrigerator?" When he was asking, Jiang He moved his feet unaccustomedly and tried to bring them back. He didn't have anything to freeze some ice cubes.Zhang Huai didn't listen to his answer. He let go and got up and went to the kitchen. When he came back, he brought a basin of cold water.Jiang He was not used to being in contact with people, and because of looking for sheep, he had a feeling of resistance to Zhang Huai. The temperature was low at night, and when the cold water hit his feet, he took it for granted that he resisted, but Zhang Huai didn't use any force at all. It was he who kicked the basin over with too much force.

Jiang He was dumbfounded, and the two monsters and one dog on the side were also staring at them intently. It took him a long time to realize that he wanted to apologize, but Zhang Huai seemed to be fine, and went to drink a basin of cold water again.This time he was really embarrassed to bother him to do it, so he hurriedly said: "I'll do it myself, you go home and change your clothes first."

Zhang Huai told him, "Don't touch the hot water for the time being, and don't move around. I'll go back first and bring you medicine tomorrow morning."

As soon as he left Jiang He, he was so depressed that he wanted to beat his chest and feet. When did he become a person who bullies others at will because of their good character?It's not like Zhang Huai belongs to him, even if he gives a girl a sheep, it's none of his business, besides... the touch on the ankle seems to be still... even his father has never touched that kind of place.

Did he treat him like a small animal?Even a veterinarian is a doctor?

Jiang He didn't sleep well all night, he tossed and turned, couldn't fall asleep, and finally fell asleep, and kept dreaming, dreaming that he was submerged in a flood, and dreaming of being chased by a ghost. Scab, but the upper lip was so swollen that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and it was difficult to open it all.When Zhang Huai came over, he saw him drinking water in small sips with a spoon.

Zhang Huai came here specially to deliver medicines to him, and there were a lot of bottles and jars for spraying, drinking and spraying.Jiang He hissed while saying thank you, looking very funny.Zhang Huai helped him wipe the medicine on the base of his nose, and when his fingers touched his lips inadvertently, Jiang He's face became hot.

"Zhang Huai, that..." I wanted to ask him if he was a different existence to him, but he couldn't say it no matter how subtle the question was, the invisible pressure of Youdao was like a mountain, and he had to temporarily Changed his mouth, "Did you find the sheep?"

After asking this, he was secretly annoyed again, and he would not be able to jump out for a while.

"Found it this morning, but yesterday it fell to the bottom of the cliff and died."

"...What a pity." Jiang He sighed, feeling that it would be impossible to continue being alone with him without finding something to talk about in the atmosphere just now. Seeing that the man in the yard who was still depressed last night was full of blood and returned to madness, he chased after him. Seeing the second idiot bitten by the chicken, he quickly asked again: "Are there any particularly naughty children in the village? Is there anyone who doesn't like dogs very much? I think the second idiot probably didn't provoke anyone."

Zhang Huai also looked at the two idiots, and replied: "There are a few who are more naughty, maybe they are just playing around without understanding, don't think too much, take care of it in the future and don't let it run around."

In fact, there is another thing that Zhang Huai did not tell Jiang He. Many cats and dogs died in the village recently. Some of them were hastily disposed of by the villagers before he went to see them. Yes, he speculated that they ate poisoned rats.The second fool doesn't often go across the river, so it should be fine.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Huai went to tidy up the yard, and then helped Jiang He make breakfast.As soon as he left, Jiang He was really uncomfortable for half an hour, so he went back to bed and lay down for most of the day. In the afternoon, he was also depressed in the yard, basking in the sun, reading calligraphy and painting sketches.Before the sun set, Zhang Huai stepped into the yard again, and saw Jiang He curled up on the bamboo chair and fell asleep, the novel picture album and sketchbook fell on the ground, and the two idiots rarely gnawed, and slept obediently next to the chair.

When he woke up, he was on the bed, and his coat and trousers were taken off. Jiang He thought about it and knew who would care about him so much. He searched around, but found no one, and there was a strong smell of rice in the kitchen. .The rice was steamed in the rice cooker, the pumpkin was made into a paste and kept warm in it, a casserole was placed on the induction cooker, the fire was turned off, the chicken was stewed thoroughly, red dates and wolfberry were floating in the soup, and there was a small bowl next to it. Served with chopped green onions.

The second idiot was gnawing on a bare chicken leg bone in the yard. If he didn't see the chicken he chased in the morning, he must have fulfilled his mission and entered its five internal organs temple.

"Brother Chicken, let's go all the way." Jiang He grabbed a handful of chopped green onions and put them in the pot, filled half a bowl and let it cool down before slowly starting to drink the chicken soup.

Jiang He basically didn't go out for the next few days. It takes a lot of courage to go out with a swollen mouth. Unfortunately, he didn't have one. Fortunately, Zhang Huai came to see him every day, and sometimes brought him directly. Sometimes he would cook for him before leaving. He silently accepted Zhang Huai's kindness to him, but at the same time felt that his chest was full of melancholy and irritability.

Going with the flow does not necessarily apply to everything, and life in chaos will eventually have a deadline.

His premonition was correct. Less than a week later, his mother called him suddenly, saying that his aunt introduced a girl to him, and hoped that he could take the initiative to contact that girl to exchange feelings. For more than 20 years, Jiang He has devoted all his eloquence to the people closest to him. It didn't take much effort for his mother to be dismissed by his words, and he only told him: "Then you should pay more attention to yourself. stay."

After hanging up the phone, the text message on his mobile phone quickly reminded him that the call charge was less than ten yuan.

"Ahhh, so annoying!" Holding his head, he walked around the room as usual when he was depressed, and when he turned to the door, he suddenly found Zhang Huai and another person appearing in the yard.

The second idiot barked a few times, Zhang Huai whispered something to it, and it walked away.
