At night, the night fog filled the river, covering up the roaring away, and continuing the long-lasting sound of the rapid water. The stars blinked, quietly peeking at this single-family farmyard by the river.

.

Before dinner, the Minister of Armed Forces came to remind Zhong Kui and the others that just yesterday, an old rural man carrying dung and water was robbed. The thief killed the poor old man and found three yuan and zero from the old man.

He even thought the money was too little, so he cursed and pushed the old man's body into a smelly ditch nearby and ran away.

At that time, pigs were not allowed to be raised in rural areas. It was said that raising pigs meant following the capitalist line. If you didn’t raise pigs, how could you fertilize them? So when growing vegetables in rural areas, you had to work hard to buy dung and water from the county town, and pick them up one by one.

It's not expensive to irrigate your own land with manure and water, it seems to be a dime per load!

This murderer, who killed for three yuan and five cents, showed too little contempt for the majesty of the king's law. Those activists in military uniforms took the initiative to organize a joint search for this murderer.

This search alerted the murderer, who was said to have wandered around Donghua Village. The Minister of Arms rushed over at dusk and told Old Man Xia, Liu Wengen and Zhong Kui about the incident.

people.

The Minister of Arms came without warning, but left in a hurry. As he was leaving, Zhong Kui almost opened his mouth to ask something, but failed to ask in time. Except for the incident that happened in the afternoon, which made someone look at him with admiration, everyone else was surprised.

Treat him as an ignorant child.

What should a naive child have to say? What he said was just related to what to eat, because at that time, hunger and fullness were the primary issue.

Liu Wengen was in low spirits, and his face was gloomy, and he lacked many of the greetings and compliments. Because he asked Zhong Kui to keep this secret for him, they both understood it tacitly, so they did not tell anything about him.

Old Man Xia has always given people the impression that he is very dull. The Minister of Armed Forces cannot show his authority here, so he has no choice but to publicize various current activities.

From their words, Zhong Kui realized that the Minister of Arms was originally a leader of some kind of activities. He was promoted to Minister because he was more motivated than ordinary people.

The burly body of the Minister of Arms melted into the mountain road before dusk fell. The black dog barked twice to send the minister away, then turned to its silent master, shaking its head and wagging its tail to show its goodwill.

Old Man Xia was cautious. After dinner, he let go of his ferocious black dog, closed the gate of the courtyard, and went into the house to sleep.

Zhong Kui from the south room smelled the strange smell of the soup in the room, and wondered in his heart whether Liu Wengen drank the bowl of soup just now?

Doubts are doubts. After working hard all day and night, Zhong Kui certainly had many questions in his mind that were difficult to decipher, but he had to rest first.

At midnight, Liu Wengen developed a high fever.

A fever will make people confused, and once they are confused, they will have hallucinations. Liu Wengen found that he was not at Old Man Xia's home. He didn't know when he was in a dark space. In the space, he felt like someone had deliberately

He was imprisoned in a shabby cell and lost his freedom. He was very lonely. This cell was like a cage, and he could not get out of the shadow of the cell.

Liu Wengen had this illusion, which was closely related to his childhood growth.

Liu Wengen has a warm home. His father is a retired primary school teacher, and his mother works as a psychological counselor in a school in the city. Recently, due to various activities, the school has been closed for rectification. Both parents are idle at home.

He was running around outside alone.

Liu Wengen feels that he now has replaced the shadow of his parents when he was young.

When his parents were young, they locked up the young Liu Wengen with an iron lock. Then they made him face the cold wall, all the static objects and furniture in the house, and the constant "tick-tick-tick" sound.

An alarm clock that stops and makes a sound but cannot speak.

At that time, Liu Wengen felt very lonely. He always imagined that he could grow up, that he could grow up overnight. When he grew up, he would not stay in this empty house. Just when this thought came to his mind

.

Liu Wengen really grew up, but after he grew up, he discovered that he was the only one left on the entire earth. Because his request violated the natural cycle chain, after he grew up overnight, everyone suffered

In the reincarnation of extinction, he became a baby.

A fire appeared in Liu Wengen's dream. The fire was very fierce, and it burned more and more fiercely. The temperature was like an incinerator for burning the dead. In the hallucination, he was horrified and felt that he was about to turn into gray-white ashes.

Liu Wengen was in trouble, which Zhong Kui didn't expect.

According to Zhong Kui's prediction, Liu Wengen should be very stable and sleep well that night. Unexpectedly, he did not take the medicine as he ordered, but threw it on the spot in the room. The room was not big,

That's why there is that smell that lingers for a long time.

There was a big dog outside, and Liu Wengen had a high fever.

Zhong Kui had no choice but to alert Old Man Xia to see if there was any way to help him reduce his fever.

Old Man Xia may have a hearing problem.

Zhong Kui banged on the door for a long time, causing the beast to tuck its tail, straighten its legs and bark at him for a while. But there was no movement in the room.

Liu Wengen was talking nonsense; his grandfather and mother-in-law yelled a lot, and finally his body went crazy, jerking and kicking, and the whites of his eyes rolled up.

Zhong Kui was so worried! His lips were covered with dense blisters.

Zhong Kui opened the door and stared angrily at the domineering black dog.

Strangely enough, when the black dog with gaping teeth and cleft eyes saw Zhong Kui getting angry, he tucks his tail in despair and ran away with a pitiful moan of "hiss~hiss".

Zhong Kui found a hoe and a kerosene lamp in the courtyard, took a bowl, and went straight out.

After a while, Zhong Kui returned again. There were many long and thin things squirming slowly in the bowl.

Zhong Kui drained the contents of the bowl with clean water, then found the spatula used by Old Man Xia for cooking. He turned it upside down and used the wooden handle to smash the restless insects in the bowl. He found it on the dining table in the kitchen room.

I soaked half a bottle of soju and brought it into the house. I saw that Liu Wengen’s lips were chapped due to burning and his face was as pale as a vegetable, almost like a walking zombie!

Zhong Kui helped Liu Wengen up, pried his lips open, and used a wooden chopstick to block the thin black lines that continued to flow from the edge of the bowl, allowing only the black soup made with soju to flow into Liu Wengen's mouth.

After finally pouring half a bowl of black soup into Liu Wengen's throat, Zhong Kui's elbows ached.

But after watching the black concoction flow into Liu Wengen's belly, his complexion gradually changed and his breathing became calm and even.

Zhong Kui's anxious heart was finally settled in his stomach.

Zhong Kui had been busy all night and before he had time to rest, he suddenly heard an unusual noise coming from the courtyard dam.

How could Zhong Kui, who heard the commotion, ignore it? Maybe it was really the Minister of Arms. The murderer he told about was lurking in the courtyard. Then there would be a big problem.

Liu Wengen had just saved his life from the brink of death. It was impossible for him to do anything big if he immediately got up.

That old man Xia couldn't stand the torture of his old bones.

Now only he, Zhong Kui, can fight against the gangsters.

Zhong Kui blew out the kerosene lamp and tiptoed out.

As expected, there was a dark shadow in the courtyard. There was something heavy hanging on the shoulder of the shadow, and it was walking very steadily step by step.
