fierce god

The ten-square-meter courtyard was very dilapidated, with a lot of weeds growing on the ground. There was a rotten wooden door in front of the low house with a red and rusty iron lock hanging on it. Gao Kun took out the only thing he had from his pocket. Two or three keys, one of which is for this.

Opening the door, the room was pitch black, the ceiling was extremely low, Gao Kun's height was already touching his head, he lowered his head slightly, motioned for Li Yinglan to wait, and walked in first.

From Li Yinglan's angle, one can smell the musty smell of the room that has been unoccupied for a long time, mixed with the irritability of the soil. Let's call it the living room. Bench, nothing else.

Gao Kun probably tidied up inside, and then went out to call Li Yinglan.Li Yinglan followed him into the inner room, a bare bed, a wooden box similar to a wardrobe, and nothing beside it.

Under Li Yinglan's surprised gaze, Gao Kun asked, "Do you want some water?"

I touched my pockets helplessly, only then did I realize that there was still a problem of eating and drinking to be solved, and it might not be so hard to hold on in the winter.

Gao Kun didn't know what to think of, turned around and went out. Li Yinglan hurriedly followed after seeing him: "What are you doing?"

Only then did Gao Kun stop in his tracks: "Ask the neighbors for some rice water and firewood."

Li Yinglan's mind was faster than his on this, and she took out two red notes from her pocket and said, "This is more convenient."

Gao Kun showed embarrassment at the embarrassment here, and Li Yinglan said, "Just take a trip to the farmhouse."

Gao Kun finally found a brick and tile house at the intersection to knock on the door. While thinking about asking others to borrow some pots and bowls, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps.

At this time, Li Yinglan was rarely in a trance thinking about something, she didn't turn her head until the movement was behind her, she felt a strong force suddenly hit her, and immediately the person rolled over and rolled on the ground.He was dressed thickly, but he couldn't stand it. He sat blankly for a moment before raising his head, and saw a slovenly woman standing in front of him with a distorted face reaching out to grab him.

Li Yinglan was startled, seeing that she couldn't avoid it, Gao Kun on the side quickly stepped forward, but saw that the woman who was staring at Li Yinglan just now also turned around quickly, aimed at Gao Kun, and then punched him kick up.

"—Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" she yelled in a hoarse voice, a little shrill and even more low-pitched, "I'll kill you...I'll kill you..."

Gao Kun pulled Li Yinglan to protect him, and pulled him behind him, and the woman's fists and feet fell straight on him. The strange thing is that Gao Kun just avoided it repeatedly, but didn't intend to use violence to control violence, so that Li Yinglan's face turned pale with anxiety when she heard the force of the pounding on him.

"Help! There's a lunatic!" Li Yinglan suddenly called out loudly.

Gao Kun was taken aback, as if he wanted to stop him, but he didn't expect someone to come to him immediately.

I saw two men and a woman rushing out of the dilapidated room opposite the door. One fat man came up and grabbed the crazy woman and dragged her back. The other woman tried to make him stop, but the fat man didn't care and dragged the woman. The hair said: "Sister-in-law, don't talk, don't care if she gets into trouble, she will be good only if she is cleaned up like this."

However, the eyes of another man standing aside suddenly fell on Gao Kun, and he called out unexpectedly after a long while: "Kunzi?"

His sound immediately silenced the noisy people around him.

The woman followed, and then took two steps forward excitedly: "Kunzi, you, why are you back?"

Gao Kun finally raised his head, with a calm expression on his face, he didn't see the joy of meeting his fellow countrymen and friends, but there was still a polite smile on his lips.

"Well, I just came back to take a look when I arrived in V City." As he said that, he called the couple, "Uncle, Aunt."

Looking at the fat man and the lunatic in his hand again: "Uncle, sister..."

The fat uncle didn't respond, but frowned instead, and the lunatic in his hand loosened his mind just like that, and even rushed towards Gao Kun at the same moment, shouting hoarsely as he pounced: "Little beast, little beast...kill him!" You, kill you... evil star, evil star..." As if she was still angry after being beaten, the woman grabbed Gao Kun's arm and bit it down hard.

Gao Kun didn't move, and his uncle and uncle didn't even move. Instead, his aunt was in a hurry. Together with Li Yinglan beside him, the two tried their best to tear the woman off Gao Kun's body.

His aunt glared at her husband, and said in a deep voice, "Why are you so dazed, bring Ajuan in."

His uncle finally stretched out his hand and pulled it, and the fat uncle on the side also moved. After grabbing the crazy woman, he was slapped heavily: "What's the trouble, if you make trouble, I'll kill you!"

Except for Li Yinglan, everyone who was present seemed indifferent to this. Seeing the two people entering the door, his aunt asked Gao Kun again: "Is this because I haven't eaten yet? Come and eat at home." .”

Gao Kun didn't speak, so his aunt went to push her husband, and Gao Zhongshui, who was Gao Kun's uncle, said: "There is nothing at home, so let's eat here, we also eat here before going back."

Gao Kun turned his head to look at Li Yinglan who was beside him, and Li Yinglan also looked at him, as if waiting for Gao Kun's opinion, after a while, Gao Kun nodded.

The house on the opposite side is no different from Gao Kun's house, except that it is bigger and has more basic living utensils, it is almost completely poor, but the half-eaten dishes on the table are not bad, there are green and some. Bai, there is actually a plate of fried pork slices, with some fatty meat sandwiched, which is definitely considered a big dish in the village.

When the two of them entered the door, the fat uncle dragged Gao Kun's sister-in-law into the room, and a little girl about fourteen or five years old walked out of the room. She was black and thin, and begged in a low voice when she saw the situation: "Father, why don't you give me money?" Let go, let me tell mom, don't hit her..."

I couldn't hear the words after that, because the fat man closed the door behind him.

His aunt hurried into the room, filled two bowls of white rice and put them in front of Gao Kun and Li Yinglan, then asked them to sit down, and said with a smile: "Today, I will come to see your sister-in-law with your uncle, and I happened to bring some extra rice." Give it to them, don't be stupid, be hungry, eat quickly."

Gao Kun asked, "How about you?" After getting his aunt's reply that he had almost eaten, he handed the chopsticks to Li Yinglan first.

He wanted to say that these things must not come into his eyes, but there are only these now, so Li Yinglan reluctantly let it go, but Li Yinglan was not polite, she picked up a large piece of meat with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth, just chewed it. I was so overwhelmed by the smell of meat that I couldn't take the second chopsticks.

The others probably didn't notice it, but Gao Kun felt it, and hurriedly added some vegetables to his bowl, and then he ate a few Chinese cabbages in big mouthfuls.

Both aunt and uncle looked at them, the difference was that aunt was smiling, while Gao Zhongshui's expression was never bright.

After a while, he said, "Are you... still in class?"

Gao Kun paused and nodded: "Yes."

My aunt was also a little surprised: "What about the tuition?"

Gao Kun said: "The school exempted me."

Aunt breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."

Li Yinglan sipped her meal, but she listened to the conversation of several people with her ears pricked up. From this point of view, the uncle in front of her must have taken Gao Kun to U City at the beginning, and then returned to her hometown because she couldn't stay any longer, leaving him alone. Leave the one there.

"What's the matter, the tuition fee is waived, don't you have to pay for food and sleep?" Gao Zhongshui's brows did not relax.

Only then did his aunt think of it, and hurriedly asked, "How did you do this?"

Gao Kun put down the empty bowl, looked at Li Yinglan at the side, and said, "I'm a tutor, even if I don't teach the homework of the lower grades, I'm rich."

His aunt and uncle's eyes also fell on Li Yinglan. To be honest, a child like this can't be ignored since he was outside. His uncle did business in U City, and his aunt often went to the county and province. Running and running, it doesn't look like it was raised by an ordinary family. Just now, the two of them were quietly pondering, and now they saw Gao Kun talking about it, so they asked along.

Gao Kun briefly introduced his relationship with Li Yinglan, but he didn't say how rich Li's family was, and Li Yinglan kept silent, but she looked good.

His aunt immediately took a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in Li Yinglan's bowl: "You, you come here to play, and there is no entertainment, so don't be surprised..." What they said was not as heavy as those of the older generation of villagers. Understand roughly.

He nodded, despite being disgusted, he ate the meat, nodded politely to the two, and said, "Thank you."

But his uncle brought the topic back: "Can this work continue?"

"Well, that's right, Kunzi, are you going to go to university?" His aunt also asked.

Gao Kun said, "Soon."

"Can you get into college with this job?" Gao Zhongshui said coldly, his eyes full of doubts.

Gao Kun pursed his lips: "Probably, we still have to think about it." Indeed, the expenses of university are much higher than that of high school, not to mention whether you can get student loans, at least the money for meals and accommodation needs to be prepared at the beginning. However, his current deposit is obviously still a little short.

Hearing this, Gao Zhongshui threw his chopsticks at once: "You are too old, why can't you turn your head around, thinking about how people in the city live, and not looking at your own birth, really Can it become a golden phoenix if it flies out?"

Gao Kun was so scolded that he bowed his head and didn't say anything. On the other hand, Li Yinglan looked at Gao Zhongshui incredulously, as if he couldn't understand what was going on with this man. Everyone was a child who loved reading and the elders couldn't even laugh. Conversely, is it the same route as the psychopath in the room?

After hearing this, his aunt also pushed her husband hard to tell him to shut up, but Gao Zhongshui spoke up instead.

"I asked you to come back at that time. You were stubborn, but you are still stubborn now. It is true that rural people live in a down-to-earth way. They always count on other people's lives when they think about everything. Your mother is stupid, and you are as stupid as her!"

"My mother is not confused!"

Gao Kun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his head when he heard this sentence. His voice was not loud, but he spoke loudly. In addition to his slightly sharp eyebrows, even Gao Zhongshui, a big man, was stunned for a moment, and then he sank naturally. Face.

Seeing that he seemed to be on fire, someone knocked on the door suddenly, and the fat uncle who had been staying inside came out and left, and then went back to call his uncle.

"Brother Shui, Boss Chen is here."

Upon hearing this, Gao Zhongshui got up immediately, and didn't have time to talk nonsense with Gao Kun and the others, so he went out with the fat uncle.

"Boss Chen, hello, hello, I'm eating, come in and sit down?"

"No, I'm here to talk to you about the wholesale price, and I'll go to the county later." Another male voice returned. This man seemed to have a big tongue, and the words were in his mouth, and it was difficult to listen.

Seeing a few men chatting outside the house, his aunt at the table came over to Gao Kun in a low voice and said, "Kun Zi, don't blame your uncle, he just loves you for suffering in the city, alas, you also I know, he’s useless, the business can’t go on there, so I have to come back, but you don’t want to go with him, he feels uncomfortable thinking about it these past few years, he always wants you to come back, and he can take care of you when you’re around.” Said yes To do business, Gao Zhongshui actually went to U City to set up a small stall, but after only half a year, he returned home due to a loss.

"I know," Gao Kun comforted his aunt, "I won't blame him."

"However, your uncle has been doing well recently. He has met a lot of people in the feed business. He has always hoped that you can come back to help him." The rural people have not read much, and Gao Zhongshui's literacy is enough. At the beginning, Gao Kun originally planned to leave after finishing junior high school. That kind of amazing college student is too far away for people with their vision. Even if he can be admitted to his family, there is no such condition, so Gao Kun's pursuit is in his hands. It seems that he is so ambitious, he should not fantasize about luxury goods that do not match his status, but at this point, he should do something down-to-earth.

Gao Kun didn't speak after hearing this, and Li Yinglan only used chopsticks to poke a little oil foam on the oily meat in the bowl, and her expression turned cold.

Feeling that the room fell into silence, his aunt sighed and said: "If you don't want to, then you don't want to. If you can really read the head, it is also for the face of your parents. As long as you live up to yourself, Auntie believes in you."

Gao Kun smiled at his aunt, and there was some warmth in his eyes that can only be seen with Li Yinglan.

The rice in Li Yinglan's bowl was already cold, so Gao Kun dug it up and ate it in two or three bites. He wanted to clean it up but was stopped by his aunt. The little girl in the room came out at this moment, and took the bowl silently before them. Go out to wash.

Seeing this, Gao Kun pulled Li Yinglan to leave, and Li Yinglan put the two red notes on the side table while no one was paying attention.But his aunt stuffed a small pot and a bowl, and asked him to take some firewood, Gao Kun saw that it was really necessary, so he didn't refuse.

When I opened the door, I saw three men leaning against the edge of the wall and smoking a cigarette. The one in the back was a short man with a square face and cheekbones. He was squinting at the girl who had just left the door. Ask: "Whose family does this girl belong to?"

The fat uncle said: "The debt collector at home, Boss Chen has to pass by in two years and introduce her to someone who gets married early so we can save ourselves a lot of trouble."

Boss Chen chuckled, looked up and down at the girl squatting by the well, and said, "Okay, how old are you?"

"fifteen."

Boss Chen nodded: "No problem, such a good-looking person, so many people want."

Hearing the sound of the door, they all looked towards Gao Kun who came out, the short man was startled suddenly, when he saw Li Yinglan next to Gao Kun, his pupils shrank suddenly, and the cigarette in his mouth Almost fell off.

Li Yinglan didn't pay attention, but felt a sudden pain in the hand held by Gao Kun. He had been pinched many times today, but this time was the heaviest. It was even more ruthless than when he entered the village before. Cut it off, looked up, and saw Gao Kun looking straight ahead, at that moment, there was a deep and dark flash in his eyebrows that Li Yinglan couldn't understand, even if it was only for a moment, it made people feel a little startled.

Boss Chen also noticed something, and abruptly pulled his eyes away from Li Yinglan. When he met Gao Kun's gaze, Boss Chen was taken aback for a moment, raised a kind smile, and waved his hand: "Hello! Ah, where is this distinguished guest from home?"

Gao Zhongshui glanced at Gao Kun and said, "Little nephew."

Originally, he seemed to intend to pull Gao Kun over to talk, just like his aunt, asking him to learn to do business together, but Gao Kun directly led Li Yinglan to nod to several people and walked towards the opposite side, leaving only his uncle His face was twitched in anger.

And because Li Yinglan was concerned about the raw pain in her hands, it was rare that she was not sensitive to notice that there were two eyes poking her back and watching him all the way into the room without leaving for a long time.
