Old Shrimp smiled and sat down, "In the early years, some people used eel blood to mix a blood stain remover and smeared it on the door frame opposite, and bats would hit the door frame after dark.
The enemy heard the noise, opened the door and saw nothing, closed the door and went back, and heard the noise again. The timid one thought it was haunted and peed and shit in his pants.
Zhou Yiding laughed and said, "This is similar to what my old man said, throwing smelly things onto the roof of the opposite house!"
"Right, it's almost the same." Lao Xiazi paused. Another thing is to get some phosphorous fire and sprinkle it on the roof of his house and in front of and behind the house. After dark, it will be just like the "ghost fire" that is often seen in the cemetery on the back mountain at night.
Another thing is to get some things that attract cats and dogs and scatter them on his roof or in front of or behind his house. Then groups of wild cats and dogs will come to his house to mess around.
It's a pity that the weather is cold now and the bats don't come out. Otherwise, I could get some eel blood and smear it on his doors and windows. It's simple, easy and scary, and much more harmful than throwing dung."
Zhou Yiding said, "It's the same if we scare them with phosphorescent lights or something dirty and smelly, right?"
Zhou Huaian also looked regretful, "Foolish, when have you ever seen phosphorescence on a cold day? That thing only appears in June. It's getting cold now, the temperature is not high enough, there won't be phosphorescence."
"Fuck~" Zhou Yiding glared at him, "You are so brave, you dare to go to the cemetery to make phosphorous fire?"
"It's terrible to be uneducated. Just get some white phosphorus. It's a pity it's too cold now." Zhou Huaian thought about it and felt that Wang Zhen should have a way, so he planned to ask him tomorrow.
Zhou Yiding: "Why not sprinkle some fishy stuff on his roof? It will be more scary if crows come to visit."
Old Shrimp said with a smile: "I will go find an old friend tomorrow and ask him to bring back some things to attract cats and dogs. Then you can go and scatter them around his house to scare them."
"Okay, okay, thank you for your help!"
"Why are you being so polite to me?" Old Shrimp glared at the two of them in annoyance, then stood up and said, "Would you like to eat something here?"
"No, let's go home and eat!"
Zhou Huaian and his friend came out of Lao Xiazi's house and agreed to go to the county town together tomorrow. They dropped Zhou Yiding off at the door of his house and went straight home.
"Why did you take so long? I've been waiting for you to come back for dinner." When Zhou's mother, who was sitting there watching TV, saw him come back, she hurriedly stood up and went to the kitchen to help set the table.
"Why are you waiting for me? Eat first!" Zhou Huaian pushed his bicycle towards the corner house. Xiao Jiuer ran up to him and grabbed his trouser leg, "Get on the bike, get on the bike!"
Zhou Huaian bent down and looked at him, "Sit in a circle and then we'll eat, okay?"
"Okay!" The little guy opened his arms and asked for a hug.
Zhou Huaian picked him up and put him in the car, then turned to the kids and said, "Did Jiaming send the dog to Mina's house?"
Zhou Jiakang and the others were staring at the TV, and I don’t know if they heard what he said.
"He's gone, but he hasn't come back yet!" The old man put the wrapped tobacco leaves into his pipe, picked up the pipe and knocked on Zhou Jialiang who was staring at the TV without blinking.
"You can't hear anything when you're watching TV. You're studying so hard, so why are you worried about not getting 100 marks?"
Zhou Jialiang turned his head and rubbed his forehead, "Ancestor, we came here after finishing our homework."
"Hmph~" Zhou Huaian snorted coldly, "The final exams are in two months. If you don't want the year-end bonus, just watch TV every day. In the future, we have more than eight acres of land in the mountains at home, so let him farm it."
Now the children all turned around to look at them, and Zhou Xiaoqian said, "Dad, we have finished our homework."
Zhou Xiaowen: "Dad, I got 100 points on the unit test."
Zhou Jiakang hurriedly said, "Dad, I just made a mistake in punctuation, otherwise it would be double 100."
Zhou Xiaoru said frustratedly: "I didn't do well in the test. I only got 95 in math."
"If you don't study hard, when the final results come out, if any of you does not perform as well as last year, I will lock the TV and you won't be able to watch it!" After threatening a few kids, Zhou Huaian pushed his son around in circles.
"Which one didn't do well in the exam and which one can't be watched, why should they be linked together?" Zhou Jialiang and the others looked at him with pouting lips, feeling that TV was no longer interesting.
"You can't write two Zhou characters with one stroke. You are uncles, brothers and sisters, and you are connected." The old man looked at the kids with depressed faces, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the kitchen.
Zhou Huaian pushed his son around, put the bicycle in the corner room, and went to the kitchen with the backpack in one hand and the chirping little guy in the other.
Mother Zhou came out holding a bowl of egg custard. "We all went out to eat steamed buns at noon, and there was a lot of taro roast chicken left, so I pickled some Jerusalem artichokes and steamed a bowl of egg custard."
The old man nodded. "Jerusalem artichokes are good. They are crunchy and go well with rice."
Yang Chunyan put her son in the sedan chair and handed him a wooden spoon. "Mom has scooped some egg custard and radish for you. Eat it obediently!"
"Eat the eggs!" The little guy grabbed the wooden spoon and started eating.
Zhou's mother brought the meal to the yard and ate while watching TV. She heard the sound of a bicycle and turned around to see that Zhou Jiaming's clothes were covered in mud, his face was swollen, the corners of his mouth were broken, and a large piece of paint on the bicycle fender was rubbed off. He looked very miserable.
She was so distressed that she put down the bowl and went to meet him, "Oh my God! What happened? Did he fall or get beaten?"
The kids stopped watching TV and gathered around him, "Brother Ming, does it hurt?"
"Why doesn't it hurt? Can't you see it's bleeding?"
"I'll go find Aunt Yao to get some medicine for him!" Zhou Xiaoqian turned and ran towards the kitchen.
Seeing the distressed expressions of his grandmother and his younger siblings, Zhou Jiaming felt less pain. "The short guy across from Mina's house scolded me, so I got into a fight with him."
Zhou Huaian frowned, angry that he had been lazy and let him go, "Why did he scold you?"
"That bastard said I hit him with my bike, but he obviously jumped out on purpose. I had a fight with him, but he was stronger than me and I lost."
Zhou Jialiang regretted not going with him just now, and cursed: "Dad, let's go beat that son of a bitch and beat the shit out of him."
"Let's all go!" Zhou Jiakang and others also said.
Seeing that the corner of Zhou Jiaming's mouth was still bleeding, Yang Chunyan thought of Zou Xin's sturdy appearance and was worried that he was injured, so she hurried into the house to get iodine medicine.
Zhou's mother looked at him distressedly and wanted to take a handkerchief to wipe the wound on his face, but the old man stopped her, "Just wipe it with iodine. Leave the mud on your head, face and body. Go to Guanyin Brigade to find him."
Zhou Huaian said in a deep voice: "Where did you meet him? Tell me what happened."
Zhou Jiaming sat on the chair, sucking his cracked lips, "I gave the dog to Sister Mei Na, and when I came out of her house and turned onto the field road, just as I was going downhill and almost reaching the mechanized farming road, the short winter melon suddenly jumped out.
I was shocked, but luckily I reacted quickly, dropped my bike and jumped down, otherwise I would have fallen into the ditch with my bike. Before I could stand still, he came up and pointed at me and cursed, so I started fighting with him.
At the beginning, he took two kicks and a few punches from me. Later, he pinned me down and scolded me for daring to snatch a woman from him even though I hadn't even grown all my hair yet.
I called him shameless, ugly, short, darker than a pig in a pigsty, and a toad wanting to eat swan meat...
I was not as strong as him, so I got hit a few times. Then an old man came and yelled at him a few times, and he let me go. "
Zhou Huaian wiped his mouth and went to the corner house to push his bicycle, "Xiao Qian, go and call Third Dad, your old man, and Big Dad. Jialiang, go to Third Grandma's house and call Huaizhong and the others. Jiakang, go and call Uncle Yiding, and call Grandpa Datian as well."
Damn it, when he was here just now, you didn't even dare to fart. You hid there and bullied the kid just because Jiaming was little. You bully the weak and fear the strong. I'll be sorry if I don't beat you up today!
"Oh oh!" The two kids stood up and ran.
Yang Chunyan took out some iodine and applied it to the wound, which made her face look even darker and redder.
"Are you hurt anywhere? Did he hit you in the stomach?"
"It's much better now. It only hurt when we were on the road. Now my stomach and left shoulder still hurt a little."
Zhou Huaian quickly took out a mat for him to lie down. Yang Chunyan pressed the places where he cried out in pain, but found no injuries to any bones, and it seemed that he had no internal injuries either. Thinking that she was not even Master Huang, she felt uneasy and let him take pills for bruises and injuries.
Seeing Zhou Jiaming grimacing in pain, Zhou's mother wiped away her tears and cursed, "...I didn't provoke him for no reason, but he started biting like a mad dog. Did he think that all our family members were dead?
Call everyone and have each family scoop up two buckets of manure and pour it on the front door of his house."
The old man said in a deep voice: "Huaian, carry Jiaming and put him on the tractor, and go to Guanyin Brigade to find him together." He couldn't bear to hit his great-grandson. Did he really think that the Zhou family was cowardly and easy to bully?
At this time, Li Qiuyue and Zhou Huaishan ran into the yard, followed by Zhou Huaijun, Zhang Xiuxiang, and Zhou Huairong and his wife.
Zhou Huaishan and Li Qiuyue were furious when they saw Zhou Jiaming's expression. "He is addicted to bullying the Zhao brothers and sisters who have no adults at home. He thinks that there is no one in my Zhou family! Damn it, beat the shit out of him."
Zhou Huaijun said to Zhang Xiuxiang, "Go get the sticks we used to collect truffles and bring them with you."
"I have one at home, too." Li Qiuyue also ran after Zhang Xiuxiang.
Zhou Huairong looked at his son with a gloomy face. Zhao Huifang burst into tears when she saw her son being beaten like that. "Is there any pain anywhere on your body?"
Zhou Jiaming shook his head. "Much better. Aunt Yao checked it out and gave me some medicine."
Zhao Huifang and Zhou Huairong breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that he didn't sound injured.
Zhou Huaian went into the house and got a wooden stick. "Let's go to Guanyin to settle accounts with him."
Zhou Huaishan hurriedly took the crank and started the tractor. The old man said to Zhou's mother, "You stay home and look after the kids."
"Okay!" Thinking that the old man and father would also go, Zhou's mother nodded in agreement.
Yang Chunyan took a mat and spread it in the truck bed. Zhou Huairong helped him onto it and said, "Lie down. Come on, hum it!"
Zhou Jiaming understood what he meant, "I know, if it's a little more miserable, then I can ask him to pay the money."
Zhou Huaian: "Not only do you want him to pay you money, you also have to beat him up and make him apologize to you!"
The old man said to Zhou Jiaming, "When we get there, talk like Xiaowen, speak softly. When they ask you where it hurts, just say your stomach hurts, your head hurts, or it hurts everywhere. Do you understand?"
Zhou Jiaming nodded, "I see, it's just like those liars on TV who pretend to be in pain to deceive others."
The old man rolled his eyes at him and said, "Who cares about his two stinky coins? You are a child and he is an adult. Those who watch the fun will sympathize with the weak one who gets beaten."
"The old ancestor is very shrewd." Zhou Jiaming tried to laugh, but he pulled his wound and grimaced in pain.
Yang Chunyan and the others looked at him, feeling both angry and amused, "You idiot, the ancestor is teaching you! How can you talk about your ancestor like that?" (End of this chapter)
