"Dad, I bought me a pen and ink, what should I do if our donkey?"

"Your mother said to buy an old donkey...you're doing it."

Outside the city, Lu Liangsheng followed his father to cross the livestock. Lu Laoshi returned to his son, went up to touch the donkey mouth that was poked out of the fence, and checked his mouth. This was a mule and horse market outside Fushui County, but most of them sold were slow horses. Cattle such as donkeys and mules were basically unseen. The government clearly stipulated that plowing oxen should not be traded privately.

On the other side, the vendor who happened to bargain with someone turned around and looked at Lu Laoshi with a smile: "Brother, this donkey, you are a little old, it's okay to pull the mill, but it can't walk twenty miles to pull the cart. Just look at the people here, they are all two years old."

When Lu Laoshi looked at the fence that the vendor pointed to, there were light mouths, strong limbs, and strong skin. At first glance, he was a good animal to get off the ground and pull carts.

He was quite envious, then shook his head: "It's better to buy an old donkey, how to sell this one?"

"Three hundred and forty cents, you can't take them away, I'll slaughter it to sell meat tonight."

"Three hundred and forty words..."

Lu Laoshi was a little hesitant and touched the cloth pockets in his clothes. He looked at the livestock that stretched out the fence. The old donkey's fur was loose and dull, and there were several whipped scars on the right ribs of his back. He looked thin and rippled, and he looked like he was about to fall down at any time. His eyes were muddy at Lu Laoshi who was asking for advice from the merchant in front of him, and he stuck out his tongue to lick his cuffs.

"Then...then it."

After all, Lu Laoshi felt a little reluctant. He gritted his teeth and took out the money bag. He counted the copper coins one by one for a while, paid the vendor, touched the donkey's head, pulled it out, looked at Lu Liangsheng, and smiled bitterly: "Our family is completely empty. When you go back, don't tell your mother that you spent so much money to buy a too old donkey."

"Yeah, I know."

The boy turned his head and looked at the old donkey who was following his father and kicking his hooves. He frowned slightly: "There seems to be an article in Qinghuai's dream repair. I don't know if it's useful to animals. I'll go back and read it."

Thinking that when the father and son returned to the market, the market had already scattered and the land was messy. In addition, it rained the day before yesterday, and the road was muddy and not easy to walk. Most of the people in the same village sold out their goods at this time, purchased the food, rice, oil and salt needed by the family, and gathered together. When Lu Laoshi and his son came back, they would go back to the village.

After hearing these two days, Lu Liangsheng felt the difference and freshness of the outside world. For a young man who has never contacted the outside world, there are also shocks. What is also the case for the young man is that he has seen a certain world experience.

The only regret is that I didn’t go to see the opera troupe invited by Mr. Chen. On the way, I heard that my father and a few people from the same village were talking about how good the opera sounded and how beautiful the actresses who sang opera were.

"... When I left the city, I asked. The one who performed opera for Chen Yuanwai was a famous flower actress in Hegu County and the head of the Li family. I heard that she was only sixteen years old, and her voice could scare people's souls... This time I seemed to be singing a new opera, specially prepared for Chen Yuanwai, and called... Why is it called "Ask for the birthday."

"Hey, let's not talk about the opera singer. When I went to the city to pull cloth for my wife at home today, I heard that the northwest was not peaceful, could it be that there was a war?"

"It's all about us. The government will not increase taxes on us. God has already given mercy."

With a squeaking sound, the people returning to the village boasted about the experiences they heard in the city. After returning home, they could tell their mothers and children and show their experiences.

The sun sets, the west clouds are burning red, and the foothills are covered with a layer of rosy clothes.

Lu Liangsheng listened to these big men talking all the way. He sat in the donkey cart, and from a distance, he saw the outline of the village, and smoke rose.

After entering the village, the things were separated. Lu Laoshi led the old donkey, and Liangsheng was holding the pen and ink. Before he could walk outside his own fence gate, he heard the noise of Li Jinhua and others.

"I'll steal our chicken and want to steal the last one. Believe it or not, I'll beat you to death with a stick now!"

"I just stood at your doorstep for a while. Why do you say I stole it? If you dare to beat me, I will lie down and be lazy to you!"

"I've bullied my man and left home, right? OK, I'll see if you're lying down?"

"You dare to be arrogant, I will let the whole village hear you. If you accused someone of accusation and hit me, you will sue the official!"

The father and son who stood in the fence gate and quarreled with Li Jinhua, both father and son knew Lu Erlai and Daming. No one remembered the same village and surname. He was also close to each other, but he was a famous idle man in the village. He was used to being idle and often wandered around other families, teasing women from time to time. A few years ago, there was a woman who couldn't stand him and ran away with others. Now he became even lazy. Sometimes he met a woman alone and was beaten many times.

No matter how gentle Lu Laoshi was, his face also showed anger. Lu Erlai at the entrance of the yard noticed someone behind him and hurriedly went to the side. Lu Laoshi walked in directly and took a stick from his wife's hand, which scared Erlai to shrink.

"Lu Laoshi! What do you want to do?! I didn't steal your chicken. It was because your wife was lonely when she saw you go out and went out to steal a man. I'll be in love with you and help you guard..."

Lu Laoshi raised the stick and pointed it at him: "Get out of here!"

Li Jinhua next to her was also very stingy. She picked up a stone on the ground and smashed it over. The second lai dodged and retreated: "Haha... You are so capable. You must have eaten your own chicken and leaned on me, thinking that one was empty..."

As he was talking, he felt someone rushing over. He looked sideways and Lu Liangsheng had already raised his feet and kicked out.

After a moment of thrust, the lazy man's hips suddenly hurt, his feet staggered, and he fell to the side.

"If you don't get out, I'll kill you!" Lu Laoshi also rushed over.

The second lai was so scared that he got up from the ground, pointed at the father and son at the entrance of the courtyard in a dirt, and said a few harsh words, and ran away with a piss.

The matter has fallen temporarily, but I lost a chicken in vain, which made Li Jinhua sit under the eaves and choke tear-jerking. Lu Laoshi went over and sat down, gently caressing her back and ventilated: "If it's gone, it's gone. I'll buy another one next time. Look, our donkey is back..."

Lu Liangsheng looked at his parents for a while and greeted his sister, asking her to go over to help comfort her, so he turned around and went out. Lu Erlai's home was in the north of the village, with two thatched houses and several holes in the mud walls. He could see inside, and the door was loose and collapsed on one side.

Lu Erlai probably didn't come back, there was no one in the room. Lu Liangsheng walked over and there was nothing inside, a stove, a wooden bed, and a wooden table with legs missing.

"Um?"

When he was patrolling around and walking to the stove, Liang Sheng suddenly felt puzzled and squatted down. He picked up a few feathers and two bones on the wood ash at the entrance of the stove.

"I said I didn't steal..."

He pinched the chicken feathers and got up and left. He walked not far away. He saw Lu Erlai humming a song on the small road in the field, shaking back, and whistling at the women washing clothes by the river, causing someone to curse him.

"Hmph." Lu Liangsheng glanced, looked down at the chicken feathers in his hand, and returned home all the way. His mother had calmed down at this time, and her eyes were still slightly red. She was cleaning up the place where the firewood was piled up with her. Xiaoxian was urging her hand on the side, and her little face was covered with sweat. When she raised her head, she saw her brother going straight back to the room and turned her head in confusion.

In the room.

"Selection of the Immortals in the South Water" and "Creating Dreams" were taken out and placed on the bed. Lu Liangsheng turned it through page by page. After a moment of slight sound of the paper, he stopped. A slightly blurred handwriting was reflected in the boy's eyes.

"...There are people roasting birds in Huaijiang River. The next day, they grow hair all over their bodies, which is very itchy and it grows. They grow longer and retreat for several days... It is called hair pulling technique, which is facing the moon at the hour of Hai, facing south..."

"There are many strange tricks of picking up the litters in the Nanshui River, and there are also vicious ways to kill people. Although the two tyrants are hateful, they will not kill people...just this."

After making up his mind, he wrote down the above method. After dinner and his parents and sisters fell asleep, Lu Liangsheng looked at the moon and then pushed the door and walked out with the chicken feathers.

The cold wind in the middle of the night blew across the barren mountain village. A few dog barking sounded in a certain courtyard, and people coughed. Most of the people who worked for a day had fallen asleep. The figures passing by in the dark looked at the sky, and estimated the time, they came outside the thatched house they had visited before.

In the window frame with spider webs, you can clearly hear Lu Erlai's snoring.

Outside the window, the black shadow approached, bowed to the bright moon, muttering something, then put the chicken feathers by the window and blew a light breath.

The chicken feathers swayed, floated up, and entered the window in the breeze.

On the wooden bed next to the window, the sleeping lazy man rubbed his legs, and a piece of chicken feather fell silently on his face. Perhaps itchy, he scratched it a few times, turned over in his sleep, and slept soundly.

Outside the window, Lu Liangsheng looked for a moment, turned around and left, and returned to the room, feeling a little dizzy, and without thinking too much, he fell asleep after falling out of his head.

The next day.

Lu Liangsheng just woke up and felt like he was getting cold. He was weak all over and his head was a little dizzy. When he got up to wash, he suddenly started to make a noise.

Xiaoxian ran back quickly from outside, her face flushed, and she pointed outside panting: "Brother... go and see, the Lu Erlai who had had a fight with our house yesterday...hehe...hahahaha"

Speaking of this, she laughed first. Li Jinhua, who was busy in the kitchen, came out: "Why are you laughing at? Tell me quickly."

"He...he..."

The little girl held her smile hard and calmed down: "He has a lot of feathers all over his body!"

"It's time!" Li Jinhua cursed, wiped the water stains on her hands, and hurriedly followed her daughter out. She must see the guy's unlucky appearance.

“It really works.”

Lu Liangsheng wiped his face and became much more awake. "What the master taught is really good... What should I do to him?"

After leaving the courtyard, I followed my mother and sister, and came to the middle of the village, the voices became noisy, noisy, and laughed.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Among the crowds surrounding him, Lu Erlai rolled on the ground in horror and let out a heart-wrenching cry. Light yellow chicken feathers grew out of his skin, and his whole body was covered in itchy scratching with his hands. He pulled out several clusters, and even the skin was torn, and blood was dripping.

But soon, the torn chicken feathers grew back.

"Save me, who can save me, it's so itchy"
