39. Death of Rhubarb (2)
After something like this happened, I was not in the mood to think about this problem anymore, so I had no choice but to take Rhubarb back to the village.
After returning home, he tied the rhubarb next to the vegetable shed as usual. Although keeping the dog tied up all the time would make the dog stupider and lose its ability to communicate with people, there was nothing that could be done.
At that time, the villages were overrun with rats, and the countryside was unwilling to raise cats - Youdao said that dogs are loyal ministers, and cats are traitorous ministers. The old people in the village looked at these animals with simple concepts, and naturally liked those dogs that did not mind the poverty of the family.
Cats that like to steal fish are not liked by the villagers.
At that time, the most common way to deal with rats was rat poison. What rat poison is strong can be solved in three steps... At that time, there were many rat poisons that were necessary for every household, but the disadvantage of this kind of medicine was that it would have secondary toxicity if rats ate it.
Will die, but so will a dog that eats a dead rat.
This is why the dogs in the village are usually kept on a leash, for fear that they will eat dead mice.
After returning home, there was still no one at home. My parents were busy in the fields. I was still young and couldn't help much. If I went there, I would only make trouble. Even if I wanted to go, my parents wouldn't let me go.
But I was really bored at home, and I started to wonder again. Why did what happened just now? Who was that person?
When I was young at that time, my way of thinking about problems was very naive. People grow up step by step. When faced with the most difficult problem to guess about the human heart, even the smartest children still have some things they can't understand.
But I still easily guessed that the mysterious person was in the village, because raising a corpse is not something that can be completed in a day or two. Even if this is an excellent demon dragon vein with yin and yang divided, pure cathode and yang are both near the mountain village.
It takes a lot of time.
Obviously that person will hang out in the village, and his daily routine is no different from others, but he secretly raises the Corpse King when no one is paying attention. As for the purpose, I can't guess at all, and I don't want to know. I just need to know who the Corpse King is.
It's enough to use it to harm people.
This is the simplest moral distinction, good people or bad people. Of course there are no absolute good people or absolutely bad people in this world, but I was still young at that time, and I didn’t know how to look at problems dialectically. I thought simply, so I didn’t think so much.
of confusion.
If corpses are raised to harm people, then he is a bad person and I must find him.
It's very simple logic. Now that I think about it, the idea I had at the time was ridiculous, but a kid of twelve or thirteen years old could think of so much.
The more I thought about it, the more confused my mind became, and I couldn't figure it out at all. By this time, it was getting dark. I lay on the kang and fell asleep in a daze. Maybe I was thinking too much. After a short sleep, I never thought about it.
The horrible dreams I had experienced appeared in my mind...
Eyes... countless eyes.
This is the impression left on me by the terrifying dream that still makes me shudder when I think about it.
I dreamed that I was playing with Liang Zi and others. We were playing hide and seek. This is one of the favorite games of rural children. It is in the village. This time it was my turn to find them.
I faced the wall of my house and started counting.
"One, two..."
When I finished counting a hundred, I hurriedly turned back to look for those friends who had been hiding, but suddenly the whole sky became dark, not the kind of darkness at night, but a fundamental kind of darkness.
