That morning, the story of Silly Awang stealing a chicken from Lao Wang's house and being hit on the head with a carrying pole by Lao Wang, which eventually made him wise, spread quickly in the village.
Yesterday the village chief specifically told us not to tell anyone about this, but it obviously was of no use.
In this rural area, some news spreads faster than the wind.
Some people were shocked, but more expressed doubts, and some even formed a team to go to Chen Wang's house to see if he was really not stupid anymore.
As it turned out, Chen Wang was not at home. Only a little girl was standing at the door with her hands on her hips, scolding them.
"My brother is not stupid, you are stupid, you are all stupid, go away, don't stand outside the house..."
At the same time, after leaving the fields, Chen Wang came to his nominal uncle's house.
He met villagers several times along the way, and they all greeted him, and he responded politely with a smile.
Seeing that he really wasn't stupid anymore, the villagers looked at him from head to toe in surprise.
My uncle's family built a new house last year. It is a brick and tile house that is quite impressive nowadays, and there is a large yard outside.
It is said that the new house was built in order to find a wife for cousin Chen Feng, but there has been no sign of one yet, because Chen Feng is a well-known idler in the village, lazy and gluttonous, and is short and ugly, so no one likes him.
"Uncle!"
As soon as he entered the yard, Chen Wang saw his uncle Chen Fugui sitting at the door smoking a pipe and called out to him.
Chen Fugui looked up at him, his expression slightly startled.
"Awang, why are you here?"
"Where's Brother Feng? I'm here to play with him."
Chen Wang talked nonsense with a smile.
Chen Fugui turned his head and pursed his lips, saying, "I just got up and am eating in the house!"
After all, they are relatives, so I still have to do some superficial work.
What surprised Chen Fugui was that the news someone brought in the morning was actually true. Awang's every move seemed to be no longer stupid.
They quickly heard about how Chen Wang was nearly beaten to death by Lao Wang yesterday, but none of them went there, choosing to pretend they didn't know.
"Then I'll go in and take a look, Brother Feng!!"
Chen Wang shouted and walked past Chen Fugui into the house.
"Where are the people? Brother Feng!!"
"Who is it?"
An impatient voice came from the back room.
Then, Chen Wang saw his good cousin coming into the main room from the back, holding a bowl and eating noodles.
"Awang?"
When he saw him, Chen Feng was also stunned.
"Brother Feng, are you eating?"
Chen Wang grinned.
Chen Feng took a look at the noodles in his hand, added eggs, and some leftover fried meat from yesterday on top.
"Uh, you came at an unfortunate time. This is the last bowl."
He moved his chopsticks and pretended to mix the noodles, covering the eggs and meat with the noodles.
In this era, no family had much surplus food, and rural people didn’t like to disturb other people’s homes at mealtime, as doing so would make the hosts suspect that they were there just to eat and drink for free.
In Chen Feng's opinion, Chen Wang came here at this time most likely for this purpose.
"It's okay, I've already had breakfast."
"You've eaten, that's good. I was thinking about getting a bowl so I can share some with you!"
"No."
Chen Wang sneered in his heart and got straight to the point: "Brother Feng, after my parents left, you borrowed a hunting rifle from my house, right? Can you return it to me now?"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Feng's face changed slightly and his eyes dodged. He thought to himself, this guy is not a fool, why would he suddenly bring up this matter?
Chen Fugui at the door couldn't sit still anymore and asked, "Awang, what do you want a hunting rifle for? It's very dangerous and you can't play with it casually."
"Uncle, I know what you said. I am not stupid anymore. I can't just rely on my wife to support me and do nothing. I want to go into the mountains to hunt and collect herbs like my father."
Chen Wang answered seriously.
"Awang, stop it. You went into the mountains to hunt? Do you know how dangerous it is?"
Chen Feng stared at him with a serious expression and said in a deep voice: "I won't mention the hundreds of kilograms of wild boars, blind bears, poisonous snakes, wolves and even tigers. Can you recognize the roads in the mountains? Every year, there are hunters who get lost and die in the mountains?"
"I know. I'll find someone to go with me. I've thought it through. I must go hunting in the mountains. All you have to do is give me back the gun."
Chen Wang said with a firm look in his eyes.
“Nonsense!”
Chen Fugui suddenly shouted, and said earnestly: "Awang, your father has passed away, and I am your only elder. I don't allow you to talk about going into the mountains again. Your father died in the mountains, and he would not agree to let you go into the mountains."
Listening to the other party's words of taking advantage of his age, Chen Wang just felt sick in his heart.
They really treat him as their own junior. Silly Awang died yesterday, but I didn’t see this family in that room!
"Yes, Awang, stop making trouble and go back!"
The eldest aunt also came out from the back room and ordered us to leave with a stern face.
"Haha, if you insist on doing this, then I won't pretend anymore and I'll show my cards."
Chen Wang sneered with disdain.
"Awang, what do you mean?"
Chen Feng frowned and questioned.
"Everyone in the village knows what your family has done in the past two years since my parents passed away, so stop talking to me like an elder. Isn't that disgusting?"
Chen Wang said something very unpleasant.
Chen Fugui and the other two looked extremely ugly.
"I'm here for one thing today, to take back our hunting rifles. You have to return them even if you don't want to. Otherwise, don't blame me for causing a scene and letting everyone in the village come to see the fun."
