Chapter 46

  Krupp was so scared that he didn't dare to make a sound, and even the one who had just fallen got up immediately. "Stand still. Stand here." The dragon arranged its opponent, looking for a position, very much like a photographer in a photo studio taking a picture of someone who had just been punched, but since the dragon had no camera in hand, it was also possible that it was doing its best to give someone a punch.

  I tried to stop him, "......Hey, Miroku?"

  The dragon made me shut up, "Shut up, you talk too much. - Stand well, bro. Ah, it's like that."

  Then he knelt down and gave Krupp three loud kowtows without any reservation.

  We were stunned. We were silent. Then he got up without any delay.

  "That's it. That's all. You guys take over. Thanks, Fatty, if anyone bullies you, tell them I'm Mí Lóng (Mystic Dragon). I've got something to do, I'm busy." The last two words he said outside the door, we stared at the door, then stared at Krupp, Krupp gave us a glance and plopped back down onto the grass heap.

  "My back hurts." he said.

  The Mourning Star looked at me and asked, ".... Didn't he just get better?"

  "I'm hungry," said Krupp.

  "...I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I'm really leaving."

  The Mourning Star hasn't even turned around yet, "How can this be cured?"

  "You'll be fine after treatment. I'm leaving too, bye bye." Dr. Hao also said as he slipped away.

  We closed the door and locked in the slow-witted Lamentable Star and the newly reincarnated Hungry Ghost.

  I and Hao veterinarian stood in the yard, looking at the sky still not dark, Mi Long had hugged his wife's shoulder, almost putting her inside, Lei Bao'er habitually followed him in, and soon came out with a sullen face.

  "Damn it."

  Hao shouted back: "Damn it."

  He walked over with a scowl on his face, so angry he was about to throw up his hands, "Damn it."

  The snake's butt also came over and piled up, "He..."

  We pointed at him together, "Don't swear!"

  "His son's! Who does his son sleep with?"

  We watched that little guy, he looked at us like a lost dragon waiting for his wife to return. We searched for the unlucky egg together, and saw Ah Yi, who was busy with his tree roots, humming his wild flower grass idle spring life.

  "He can't sleep and is humming that annoying song, it's enough to kill someone." I said.

  So we looked at the dog meat together, and the dog meat was inexplicably confused by our gaze, but in the end, it let out a low sob.

  Our disaster has arrived.

  １

  I sat on a pile of straw in the house, I and Old Man Hao were in the same room, we looked at the child standing in the house with a deep hatred, we listened to the dog barking outside, no, it was the dog meat that was barking.

  But the dog meat did not sleep that night, it wailed like a ghost, we heard its barking and howling, but it was essentially still a silent dog, yet that night it wailed like a wild dog.

  But honestly, it's not its fault.

  After three barks of a dog, it was a man who let out a yell. You can associate it with anything you like, but it just doesn't sound like that.

  I furrowed my brow, gritted my teeth, and launched another attack on Le Bao'er, "Call me Dad."

  Chick.

  The house of Mì Lóng echoed with the cries of Mì Lóng: "Aaah!"

  Lei Bao'er yelled so loudly that my face turned red, fortunately I understood that it was not his father's intention.

  "Call him dad." I insisted.

  Little duck.

  "Wow!" The dragon shouted loudly.

  The dog is barking, the dragon is roaring, ah-ah-wa-wa-wa, you can almost feel some reckless bandit launching a fierce attack on the iron gate, while inside the gate, a watchdog is cheering him on. We pretend to hear nothing until we can't pretend anymore.

  "This... this... is really too much." I said.

  Hao Shouyi diverted the child's attention, "Can't hear, can't hear. Call grandpa, kid."

  Le Bao'er obediently called out: "Grandpa."

  "Wah wah wah!" The dragon seemed to be echoing his son, followed by a loud roar.

  I stared at Dr. Hao in shock. Dr. Hao's old face flushed with pride, and he couldn't help but gloat, "Sleeping with Grandpa tonight, huh?" Then he continued to show off, "No way, really no way, they say kids can see right through people."

  "Asshole's lungs are hollow. Call grandpa." I didn't believe it anyway.

  Le Bao'er shouted: "Loach."

  Here is the translation: "Haha! Here comes another one!"

  "Is this the sound of people moving around?!...". Then, hearing that even our house shook a bit, and I clearly knew that the two houses were not connected at all. "This is the Japanese devils' artillery fire! They're demolishing the house!"

  Hao shook his hand and said, "Little kid, little kid! ... Bao'er, Grandpa will tell you a story, okay? There was a place where there were only big tigers, no donkeys. Someone transported a head of donkey over there..."

  Le Baoer said: "The donkey kicked the tiger, and the tiger ate the donkey."

  "Good boy, good boy. A butcher who slaughtered a pig and sold the meat on his way back home ran into a wolf..." Dr. Hao changed the subject.

  Lei Bao'er didn't let him finish speaking, "Seeking a fish by climbing a tree, the wolf will be punished for it. It's really ridiculous."

  Hao the veterinarian stared at me in shock, and I dryly laughed, "Rich people, they're really well-educated. When I was five years old, I could recite 'The Outgoing Imperial Inspector's Memorial to Emperor Gaozu of Tang', Minister Liang said, The late emperor started an undertaking but had not yet completed it..."

  "First watch has passed! The moon is rising in the east! Lazy Liangshanbo, reading your Book of Songs!"

  I was choked alive, that little guy stopped singing, but I didn't say anything else. I stared in the direction of the dragon, as if I could see through walls. The wall was fine, but the door opened, and two guys with bitter faces, hugging straw, stood outside.

  "Not spicy complaints: 'You said he does things just by doing them. Why still sing and sing?'"

  Hao Shouyi reminded: "Little kids, little kids."

  The snake said: "Your house is the farthest. I'll sleep in your house."

  "Not spicy" makes a request: "I'm going to sleep too."

  "Sleep if you can." I don't care.

  The snake's butt exclaimed: "This house is much better."

  "Hurry up and go to sleep. Once he starts working, you'll think the devils are crossing the river. Sleep quickly, sleep quickly."

  Those two guys really did it, they hastily spread out the grass and went to sleep.

  Just after lying down, the dragon started working. "Yi de er ya de yo yo yo yo - de er ding dang!"

  He jumped up and shouted towards the direction of the ghost's call: "Lang has passed by that door! Mei is sitting in that house!"

  "I too shouted at the top of my lungs: '...and! The middle road has collapsed! Now! The world is divided into three parts! Yi state is exhausted and weak! This is indeed a critical moment of life and death!'"

  "Great, great. You can keep shouting all the way until dawn, and your throat will be as hoarse as the sand in northern Shaanxi. I'm going home now." said Hao Shouyi.

  The snake's butt said with hatred: "What kind of world is this? Women don't call men, I originally wanted to hear a woman's voice..."

  The dragon continued singing: "Golden ring, oh wow, it's worth a lot of money! This is a good thing!"

  Hao Shouyi sighed again: "Children, children!"

  "My grandfather also liked to sing opera. You've buried him," said the little boy.

  Hao Lao's heart ached, "Aiyo, poor child, come sleep with Grandpa."

  Le Bao'er was sleepy early and fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

  I was tearing paper to block my ears, watching the old man gently patting and stroking that little rascal, "We are the pitiful children. This noise is nothing to be afraid of for kids like us? I'd rather have a dragon come into this house beating drums."

  I said as I wrapped the clothes I had taken off around my head, wrapping it tightly like a cloth ball: "I'll give him an hour, let's see if he can make trouble for an hour."

  Shepi Gou, not spicy at first glance, hurriedly imitated, even Hao Shouyi learned.

  "Not spicy bragging: 'In my opinion, an hour is not enough.'"

  I turned my head with a scowl at that big-mouthed little brat, "Hmph!"

  Then I threw myself onto the pile of grass.

  The rooster is crowing. The morning light has just appeared.

  "Oh, August, autumn wind is cool and refreshing!" Mí Lóng continued singing.

  The Manchu who was sleeping on the sentry post was startled and jumped up, then struggled to wake up, "...... damn it, why didn't you come to relieve me?"

  Muddy egg just woke up with sleepy eyes from his nest, "I'm so tired. Can't sleep."

  "Wang Erjie sat in the North Building, how unfree! Ah ah ah cough!"

  The dog let out a faint cry and then whimpered. The dragon won, and the dog was already exhausted.

  Our house is very crowded now, because those few - Mourning Star, A Fan, and Krupp have all come. We sit, lie down, lean against the wall, cover our heads or not, plug our ears or not, stare with our eyes open or slightly closed, clench our teeth or not - and we also have a new source of sound: Krupp can't find a place to put his fat body in the house, he doesn't even need to cover his head or plug his ears, just leaning against the wall and snoring loudly.

  A whole night of insomnia, till dawn breaks.

  The house farthest from the donkey's cry is considered a utopia, and people flock to verify a truth: Utopia does not exist in this world.

  "...has been gone for six years without looking back, thinking of second brother I couldn't finish half a bowl of rice in one day..."

  The dragon continued to sing, and we just listened, no longer protesting. But Krupp's snoring suddenly turned high-pitched, expressing protest in a drunken dream. It was so high-pitched that even I pulled off my hood, looking at Krupp with a strange expression.

  A Ya lay down, staring blankly at the ceiling, "Ah."

  Peach Garden still exists, existing in a dead fat man's greasy heart.

  Can't bear it anymore, took a small stone to aim at Khrushchev, the problem is that he aimed for half a day and was just listening to the wind, didn't even touch his hat - ended up slapping me in the face.

  "I'm fed up with this! Can you take off your diaper?" I said angrily.

  "Undress, undress. I'm suffocating." Not bothering to remove his turban, he stared blankly at Kryuber, "Even the pigs are awake, how can he still be sleeping?"

  A Ya lay there in a daze, staring at the ceiling, and let out another "Aiya".

  I rubbed my face, which had been smashed by a stone, and retorted sulkily, "Yes, even pigs are awake."

  Shepi Gou buried his head in the wall corner for the whole night, and now he was sobbing, "One night after another, is this a human life?"

  I spent a sleepless night and became pale-faced, "It's a person, Birdman."

  She Bi Gong asked Dongmen Star: "You are called Dong Dao, do you understand knives or swords?"

  The mourning star looked less haggard, he sat with a defensive look against the demon in his heart, although this made him look very virtuous - the problem was that he had been sitting like that for a whole night.

  Because of his humble nature, the Mourning Star also humbly replied to this inexplicable question: "I don't understand swords."

  "Then you're good at managing a family?"

  "...can't be compared. Learning has no bounds."

  A Ya stared at the roof, lying absent-mindedly, and then "ah".

  "Can you guys hang out for a night?" That's what Snake Butt originally wanted to ask.

  The Mourning Star had been silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh, "...... Heart clear, naturally cool."

  He jumped up and went to touch the Mourning Star, "Let me touch you, I'll see how cool you are." The Mourning Star was so scared that he dodged left and right, unable to parry.

  The seemingly sleeping Dr. Hao was actually not asleep, with his eyes closed, he was chanting to us as if we were going to die: "Little kids, little kids."

  Ayi lay on her back staring at the ceiling, "Oh no."

  I interrupted him, "Alright, alright, you've been yelling all night."

  "A retorted back at me: 'You guys are also being too much, you've been stir-frying and deep-frying all night, hundreds of three-yellow chickens, Shanghai City God Temple! Didn't you do it yesterday? You said you were dead tired, dead tired, fell asleep as soon as your head hit the pillow! How can you be so worked up again?!'"

  Hao Shouyi muttered: "Children, oh children."

  I glared at Ah Yi, this little brat was born out of a night's suffocation, and his powerful counterattack really made me choke. Most importantly, he directly hit my weak spot.

  "...... I'm hungry!" I said.

  "I'm hungry too." We stared at the seemingly sleepless Krupp, he stared back at us - it turned out that just saying "I'm hungry" could stop him from snoring.

  "What's for dinner today?" Ah Yi asked.

  Hao Shouyi said: "No grain has been stored. It's also unknown whether it can be delivered today."

  I looked at Krupp and said: "There is a mouthful of eight mouths here. Even if it was delivered, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough."

  "Hey, fatty, don't you have anywhere to go?"

  Krupp rubbed his head woodenly, "Where to go? Where to go?"

  The snake's butt was getting up again, and then it lay down and scolded in Cantonese: "Heavens, why are you treating me like this... I'm hungry too."

  Hao Shouyi rubbed his eyes and got up, trying not to disturb Lei Bao'er who was sleeping beside him. "Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss. Even the dragon is not making a fuss."

  This reminds us of something. Not far from the door, looking at it, "Damn it, he's up."

  The mourning star who had been sitting in a precarious position suddenly lay down on the ground: "I'm sleepy... I'm going to sleep, call me when there's food."

  He took a glance at him and said, "So that's what it means to be carefree and naturally cool. I'll never again envy those who have a family."

  The Mourning Star didn't care, when he was knocked down by his own brother's bone spurs and almost had his ribs cracked, he shifted positions a bit and muttered to the bones: "You're in trouble, you're in trouble. Sleep tight, sleep tight."

  The snake's butt, which had just climbed up again, took a look at the mourning star that was about to set, and then burrowed itself back into the grass nest - while we rubbed our sleepy eyes and yawned as we got out of bed.

  We rubbed our eyes and yawned, standing outside the door. The first thing I saw was Niu Dai and Man Han, those two looked as pale as we did, like crops that had been watered with bitter water, staring at us with a bitter expression in the morning sunlight.

  Then I saw the stray dog, that shameless thing had fetched several buckets of water and was washing itself in the corner of the yard. The water was naturally cold, and with each scoop, the stray dog's humming song accompanied by a refreshing sound.

  "...I drew on the east wall, I drew on the west wall, I drew all over the south wall and the north wall. Which one doesn't count? I climbed up onto the beam with a ladder..."

  He didn't even get angry, "How did he know to speak softly?"

  Hao Lao Tzu sighed with a bitter smile, "It's hard to control one's emotions, heh heh, that must be what it means to have emotions that are hard to control."

  "When did he ever control himself?"

  "Hey, Mí Lóng, where's your wife?" someone shouted at him.

  He wasn't furious, but rather had a mischievous grin on his face as he turned around, accompanied by the sound of cold water splashing against his skin. "Sleeping, sleeping, how tiring this journey is! Sorry, sorry."

  I told Bula: "It's useless. Now that you're in a good mood, you can step on him and he'll just think you two are close friends."

  So angry that he could only scold himself, "To run into such a person - my ancestors really didn't accumulate virtue!"

  At this time we heard the sound of a car outside the yard, it stopped here, and for more than 20 days, the car stopped here would only have one thing - so we bravely walked towards the door.

  "Not spicy" shouted: "Coming! Coming!"

  Hao Shouyi said: "This time it's just right for eating. It's a pity to receive such treatment every day, feeling guilty."

  "If you're hungry, hurry up and get Snake Buttocks to cook!" I said to him.

  Hao Shouyi patted his forehead and turned around, "Right right right right..."

  He hadn't even finished turning around when he stiffened up, and today there were not just a few soldiers carrying rice and flour, but also Zhang Lixian and He Shuguang, who had not been seen for a long time, and they didn't have any rice or flour either. The whole team was holding guns, and with the efficiency of elite troops, they immediately formed a line, the only difference being that they weren't pointing their guns at us.

  "Is everyone here? There are twenty-one in all."

  The dragonfly grabbed his clothes and wrapped them around his lower body, running over in a hurry without saying a word, just guarding the door, while we also kept silent about this question that was best left unanswered.

  "......Yes! All of them!"

  Zhang Lixian simply ordered: "Get all on board."

  Then the soldiers he brought began to take action. We were the first batch, and the dragon was twisting its body and staring at people under human pressure, which is a good thing, people only dealt with it and didn't push open the door behind it.
