My Taoist Career

Chapter 18 7 Years Later

I remembered that when I went to school this morning, my mother told me that I would eat roasted eels at night, and there was indeed a small half bucket of eels at home. I knew it was my dad who caught them at night.

Burning rice field eel, when I think of this dish, I think of my dad making rice field eels, when a live rice field eel is caught, it will be knocked unconscious with a 'snap' sound, and then it will be pressed on the special wooden board for processing rice field eels, and it will be cut and pulled with a 'crash'. , and then scraped, the fresh rice field eel will be processed.

Then cut into eel segments, wash and prepare, then burn hot oil in the pot, pour in the eel segments with a 'chi la' sound, stir-fry, and the aroma will come out, then add watercress... ...

Thinking, thinking, my saliva almost flowed out.

Seeing that my mind was moving, Su Rou was beside me vigorously encouraging: "Sanbaer, let's go, let's go back, at worst, you go to my house, my house will eat 'Shaobai' (similar to pickled pork with pickled vegetables) tonight, and then I asked my old man to intercede for you, and it is impossible for you not to go home for the rest of your life."

As soon as I heard the word pleading, I was stunned again. If my dad was the kind of person who could listen to pleading, would I be able to suffer so many beatings?In the past, when my dad hit me, I howled it was a miserable situation. People in the passing village couldn’t help persuading me.

Accompanied by a narration: "Boys can't be successful without hitting, unlike girls! If boys don't care, they can 'knock sand jars and eat peanuts' (shot) in the future."

In the end, my fear of my dad overwhelmed my desire to burn eels, and the spirit of the Red Army over the snow-capped mountains and grasslands also inspired me. Climb the snow-capped mountains, cross the grasslands, and find a place to be the Red Army.

The Red Army are all good people, seeing me as a child, can you not take me in?What if you don't go home for the rest of your life?As long as the Red Army takes me in!

Thinking of this, I was excited and determined. I patted Surou on the shoulder and said righteously: "You go back, Surou. When I become the Red Army, I will come to ask you to be the Red Army together. I will definitely not forget you."

"Are you going to be in the Red Army?" Su Rou was suddenly confused by my nonsensical words.

"Well, anyway, I will be beaten when I go back. Why don't I go to the Red Army today. If I find them, they will definitely take me in. Just wait for me, and don't tell me the old man." I solemnly ordered.

"But where are you going to find the Red Army?" Su Rou was a little worried, and was indeed curious about where the Red Army would be.

"I heard that there are some in the town. I'll just go to the town. Don't worry." In fact, I mistook the police for the Red Army at all, but I was young at that time, so how could I tell them apart?

"Well, I'll wait for your news. I will never betray you. When you become the Red Army, remember to take me with you." Su Rou is also very eager to become the Red Army, but he didn't make any mistakes. Even if you give him ten guts, he wouldn't dare not go home.

In his mind, as long as I bring the Red Army to the door, his parents can agree to him being the Red Army. He is looking forward to good news from me.

So, he forgot to ask me, do you know how to get around town?

So, I also forgot to think about this question, what should I do in the town?

After walking smugly for a while, I discovered the problem. I looked up and removed the fields, that is, the continuous mountains. Where is the shadow of the town?What should I do in this town?

After the sun set, it got dark very quickly. At this time, a crescent moon had quietly climbed into the sky, and the sky was a kind of bluish black that was about to get dark.

The surroundings are a little quiet, except for the chirping of insects and frogs. In such an environment, I found that I couldn't hold on anymore.

go home?This idea popped into my head, I miss my sister, I miss my mother, I want a steaming dinner...  

But when I thought of my dad's 'invincible' iron fist, I gave up this idea again.

"Bah, Chen Chengyi, whether it's bitter or not, think about the [-] Red Army!" I said to myself to motivate myself, as soon as I mentioned those brave Red Army soldiers, my blood boiled.

I walked for a while, and I didn't even know where I was. I was hungry and tired, and finally I couldn't hold it anymore. I sat down on the ground and started to 'plan'.

For fear that I would get lost, my mother often taught me, don’t be afraid that there is no road. There is a road under the nose, which means to ask more when you can’t find the road. Now it’s dark, and I don’t know where to ask. Road, I decided to ask others how to get to the town at dawn tomorrow.

As for being hungry, I looked around and got an idea. In this season, there are still a lot of corn (corn) confiscated in the field, and I have matches on me. It is no problem to roast two corns to eat.

So there is only one question left, where should I stay tonight?I've been thinking about this issue for a long time but I can't come up with a solution, so I simply stopped thinking about it, anyway, I'll fill my stomach before I talk about it.

"Sanbaer, you have bean dregs in your head, right? Why don't you think about things all day long?" My mother often scolds me like this, and my heartlessness can be seen.

The cornfields are everywhere. Now that I decided on my target, I got in. When I came out, my yellow canvas bag was bulging. Just kidding, I picked three huge cornfields. Own.

Such things are too common for me who grew up in the countryside. I never stole corn when I was a child, so I am ashamed to say that I am from xx village.

After stealing the corn, the only thing left is to find a bamboo forest. Dry bamboo leaves are excellent firewood. There are many bamboo forests in Sichuan. I wandered around for a while under the moonlight, and found a bamboo forest. I ran into it happily. .

At that time, I didn’t notice at all that there was a cemetery not far from the bamboo forest, but even if I found it, I probably wouldn’t be afraid. There are graves everywhere in the countryside.

As soon as I entered the bamboo forest, I got to work on my own. I tore off the outer skin of the corn, leaving a thin layer, and then gathered a bunch of dead bamboo leaves to bury the corn under it.

Dry bamboo leaves are extremely flammable, and within a short while, a fire rose in the bamboo forest.

At this time, all my thoughts are on the three corns, guarding them with all my heart, and adding bamboo leaves from time to time. This bamboo forest is very big, and no one will see it if I light a fire in it, but I don’t want to be seen by anyone. .

Time passed by every minute and every second, and I don’t know how long it took. My stewed corn was finally cooked. I happily pulled the stewed corn out of the fire, tore off the remaining skin, and didn’t care about boiling it. , I ate it with big mouthfuls.

The stewed corn is very fragrant, I am very happy to eat it, and I am still sighing while eating, today's stewed corn is cooked really fast, you must know that the stewed corn is not as good as the roasted corn, you have to wait for a long time to eat it.In the past, in the village, I would stew corn with other little ones in the village, often waiting for an entire afternoon, but I didn’t expect to feel that it didn’t take long for me to cook it today.

In fact, the actual situation is that I still waited for nearly 2 hours, but I was so engrossed in waiting that I didn't notice the passage of time, and I didn't know that it was almost late at night.

Standing by the fire, after eating three big corns, my stomach is finally full. It feels like I have been tired for a long time. A drowsy tiredness hit my whole body, and I wanted to sleep.

Children in the countryside know that lighting a fire in a bamboo forest is extremely dangerous. After I yawned and stamped out the fire, I couldn't control the feeling of fatigue anymore, so I threw my yellow satchel on the ground. Then the whole person leaned on the yellow satchel and fell asleep in a daze.

I don't remember exactly how long I slept that night, but I just remember that after I had some bizarre dreams, I couldn't bear the chills coming from my body anymore and woke up from the cold.

I touched the clothes subconsciously. I found that the clothes were very damp. I wanted to change to another place to sleep, but I felt weak all over my body, and I was still sleepy.

I wanted to close my eyes and go back to sleep, but suddenly found that there were many voices not far away around me, which seemed to be very lively, but I couldn't figure out where the noise came from.
