Entering Lou Lan for the First Time
When the car drove out of the grassland, there was no longer yellow grass around it. There was more dry land. When the car drove past, it would kick up a lot of sand and dust. The Santana in front drove past, and we followed behind it, eating dust. When he closed the window, not only did he have to endure the last bit of heat from the setting sun, but he also had to endure the dust that drifted in from somewhere.
As the sky darkened, I saw a road sign-Ruoqiang County!
I couldn't help but ask Second Uncle,"Why do we have to take pictures there? Can't we just go around it?"”
Second Uncle said,"Hehe! Silly boy, you don't understand. If we take a detour, we'll be suspicious. If we pass through this big city directly, people will think that we're here for sightseeing. Don't you know that there's a reward for reporting grave-digging?”
I finally understood. After all this trouble, I was just a shill! I couldn't help but admire them secretly. I've never seen someone dig a grave so brazenly.
We walked along the edge of Ruoqiang County and stopped at a very small hotel. This place was surrounded by car repairers. Grandpa ordered his uncle to buy 12 retreaded tires and tied them to the top of the jeep. From afar, it looked as if these tires were going to crush the jeep.
After entering the hotel, the Sichuan boss was very enthusiastic. He asked in Mandarin with a strong accent,"How long will you be staying?"
"Boss!" Grandpa said. We're staying for a day. We sell retreaded tires. Do you have any rooms available? I want four rooms!"
"Yes!" said the boss. There was! Wait here, I'll go get the key! Can't eat? Why don't you shout in my shop?"
"That's great!" Grandpa said with a smile. We still have to hurry back tomorrow!”
The boss walked into the inner room." I know! You businessmen, time is money!”After he gave us the keys, he asked," Why are there so many of you selling tires?”
"These are my sons and grandsons. They'll take over when we get back." Sigh, I'm too old to do it!"
The boss said,"You're so lucky!" His sons were all very strong, and his grandson's girlfriend was very beautiful!”
I loved hearing this, but Sister Hua blushed. "Do you have anything good to eat here?" Grandpa asked.”
The boss said,"My big plate chicken is famous far and near. Usually, there aren't many customers. I just sell big plate chicken!" I'll get you two plates. Do you want them?”
Grandpa said,"Yes, yes. Take a bottle of wine and have a good sleep after drinking it!"”
The boss agreed and went to the back hall. I sat at the table and looked at the place. The dim light and greasy spider webs hung in some places. After a while, two plates of big plate chicken were served. The boss wiped his hands and said,"Wait a moment. Eat first!" I'll send you the belt noodles later. The noodles are free. Eat your fill! Come back next time!"
We all nodded our heads and then buried our heads in eating. The big plate of chicken was very ordinary, but perhaps we were hungry, so we ate a lot.
When I entered the room, I realized that the TV was very old. When I watched the show, half of the screen was flashing with snow. The bed was clean, and it was rare that he could take a shower. I turned on the tap and regretted that it was cold water. I barely finished washing up and shivered as I crawled into bed. This place was a little cold at night. Although it wasn't as chilly as the Gobi Desert, it was still unbearable. I could feel that the temperature outside might only be a few degrees. But even so, I still slept soundly.
I was woken up just as the sun rose. "It's too early," the boss said guiltily."We haven't started making breakfast yet!"”
Grandpa was very magnanimous." It's fine! He still had to go to Ruoqiang later to eat there!”
I only charged 220 yuan when I paid the bill. I think this boss is really good. When he went out, his second uncle saw someone selling roasted buns and bought 40 of them. The Uighur old man who sold the buns was very happy.
We went around the village and saw the Gobi, but it was a bit unfair to call it Gobi because there were many Achnatherum splendens everywhere. There were a lot of Achnatherum splendens, so the car drove at a moderate pace because the tires on the jeep that Uncle and the others were driving had to be balanced.
"Grandpa, why did you buy so many tires?"”
Second Uncle continued," There are many organizations that prevent grave robbing in this place, but they have to see the car first before going back to call the police. They would burst your tires and make you unable to run far. Then, the police would slowly catch you! This was to prevent any accidents from happening.”
I suddenly realized that this was definitely my experience. "Have you ever been caught?"”
"The second time we came, we were caught and one of our cars was confiscated. If your grandpa hadn't scattered the cars, everyone would have been finished.”
"Oh, then the journey is still very dangerous!”
An hour later, the car started to shake. I looked at the road. There was almost no Achnatherum splendens here. It was sandy land. I think this should be a desert. There were many small slopes here, and it made people's hearts sink and feel very uncomfortable. From time to time, I asked how far it was, but Second Uncle always said it was almost there.
"Is this the Lou Lan you're talking about?" If Lou Lan was like this, the people in the carriage would either be knocked to death or die!”
"The main road of Loulan is not here, it's on the other side!" We're avoiding people like this. Bear with it!”
I took out a cigarette and lit it for a long time. After walking for about half an hour, when I was about to throw up my last night's meal, the road began to become flat, but there was a saline-alkalized land in front of me. The ground was frighteningly white. However, compared to the stone road, this was a small blessing. Looking at the saline-alkalized land, the reflection of salt crystals flickered from time to time. Under the sunlight, it was like gems scattered on the ground. It was dazzling and made people miss it, but they did not dare to stay.
It was not easy to see the white and yellow soil, but the dust raised by the car in front made it difficult for me to see my surroundings. Second Uncle drove the car to the side, and I saw clearly that we had entered a large area of sand. From time to time, the yellow sand would be mixed with withered weeds. The endless white and yellow made people feel desolate. Was this the Lou Lan they were talking about?
I saw my uncle looking around with binoculars in the jeep behind me. I began to drink water, and the feeling of parched mouth and tongue filled my brain. The heat wave began to engulf our broken van again. Second Uncle simply took off his shirt and drove. He said,"It's so hot here! Let me tell you, the last time we came, we bought a chicken, but that chicken died of heatstroke! Drink more water!"
I believed that this wasn't a joke, so I immediately took a few more sips. Second Uncle threw a bottle of cooling ointment over." Wipe it more and refresh yourself! The people from the Cultural Relics Bureau were all crazy. After staying here for a long time, they couldn't even speak human language.”
The smell of cooling oil pervaded the car and made me feel energized. I asked,"How are they going to guard it in this heat! Just delivering supplies is enough to tire people out!"
"Replenishment? You want to try running 360 kilometers in one go? We're taking a shortcut. What about them? It's better to let us all dig so that they don't have to work so hard!”
Suddenly, my vision opened up and I saw a river. On the map, it was written that the Milan River was 1 meter deep and at least 40 meters wide. We drove straight across the river and stopped on the other side. Then, his uncle, second uncle, and youngest uncle took off their underwear and jumped into the river. Actually, I couldn't hold it in any longer, but I didn't want Sis Hua to see me dawdling. "Yo! Was it shameful! Haha! Silly child, come down! It feels good!"
I didn't take off my clothes and walked to the river. I couldn't stand it when my feet touched the river. That was so comfortable! I immediately took off my clothes and dived into the water in my underpants. If I wasn't here to dig a grave, I think I'd stay here for a day. However, a few minutes later, Grandpa rolled down the window and called for us to leave. I'm curious. Grandpa is already so old, but why isn't he afraid of the heat? Also, isn't Sis Hua afraid? What if he got a rash?
When I put on my clothes, I felt that I was about to collapse from sweating. My white T-shirt had hardened and turned yellow. Second Uncle said," It went smoothly this time. The car didn't have an accident. The last time the car had an accident, it was baked by the sun in the saline-alkalized land. It was extremely hard. When your uncle and I walked to the grave, I couldn't even lift the shovel!”
I didn't want to talk. I felt that talking would consume my strength. The uncle said," It's all thanks to this that we're only allocated tens of thousands of yuan for nursing fees every year. You have to know that our oil costs are almost tens of thousands. We'll need more labor than they do in a year. How can we keep it?!" Lop Nur was a big place. He could enter and leave anywhere. Once he got on the highway, he would be in charge!”
I nodded, not wanting to speak. Second Uncle said," This place is very strange. Sometimes, you can hear people talking and crying. There are adults and children. But in reality, there was no one. Occasionally, there would be a flash of fire, and then it would disappear. Last time, I thought I was discovered and went around with your uncle. In the end, I didn't find anything!”
I said,"Are you seeing things? Or did you faint from the sun?"
"Do you think we're like you?" Second Uncle asked. Anyway, this place was strange! Haha! But there are many good things!"
As he spoke, a small pile of rocks appeared in front of him. Grandpa's car stopped at the side. Sis Hua got out and moved the small pile of rocks away. I used my foot to step on it and found that there was actually a small space below with a wooden board on top. The uncle took out a bucket of oil from below and began to refuel each car. I asked Second Uncle,"When did you release this?" Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
Second Uncle said,"If you don't pour oil, you can go in but not out. There's no gas station inside!" We spent a long time designing this path. Although we only dug a few times, we've come here more than 20 times just to drain the oil! Do you think everyone else is like you? You find a place and rush in without caring about anything!”
Twenty times! Oh my god, the plan should have started at least a year ago. It would take at least a few months or even longer to think of the route to enter the graveyard. It seems that they have long regarded this as the source of wealth! I really admire Grandpa's dedication and endurance. If it were me, I would go to the grave and dig something out first even if I had to ride a bicycle. No wonder so many grave diggers were arrested, but Grandpa's business was doing better and better.
After a while, the uncle put the oil barrel back into the ground and waved at Sister Hua. He put the wooden board back and piled the stones up again. The car started to run wildly again. I looked back at the pile of stones, standing alone on the bare land.
The car was speeding. Second Uncle probably felt bored with me, so he ran to the jeep. His uncle came to drive the car and said as soon as he got in,"When we return this time, we will take that path!”As he spoke, he pointed to the far right.
I narrowed my eyes and looked for a long time. Other than the bare ground, I didn't find anything. "I'll chop some red willows and make some red willows for you to roast meat! The barbequed meat we ate with iron skewers could be called barbequed meat. We had eaten enough meat cooked from the inside out. This time, I'll let you eat the meat cooked from the outside and buy an unmarried sheep. That's called fat and juicy!”I drooled.
"Don't lie to me! Have you heard of Red Willow Barbecue before?" I said.
"It's so old-fashioned!" his uncle said. Last time, I wanted to cut it, but your grandfather didn't allow it because he was afraid that it would affect the trip. This time, you should mention it to your grandfather!”
I was wondering why he doted on me so much. So he was waiting here! "I can't imagine how good this place was a few hundred years ago. Can people live here?"”
"Did you see that river just now?" A few hundred years ago, he was very powerful. How many people did he raise? It was already a miracle that the river hadn't dried up in this place!”
I was deep in thought. Protecting the environment was very important! "When we enter Lop Nur, there's a place that's really scary. The withered trees are baring their fangs and brandishing their claws! At night, there was a desert fox inside. That fellow was smart and would take advantage of anyone!”
"How much longer?" I muttered.”
"Soon!" said his uncle.
"You guys keep saying it's going to be soon!" I said angrily. It had been said that it was fast since the start of the gravel road. It had been almost two hours now, and it was still fast!”
Uncle looked at me. He didn't know why I was so angry, so he looked at his watch." It's really going to be soon! About twenty minutes!"
I feel like I finally have hope. "The path we're taking now might be the same path Tang Sanzang took." If I had caught him back then, eaten his flesh, and lived longer, I would also be a strange person now!”
I was furious and teased,"You're a cultured person after all. Why are you so unskilled? Use your brain!"
Uncle looked at me with disdain." What do you know? We've seen ancient corpses that were just buried in graves. I think there's still a saying about immortality, right?”
This time, it was my turn to despise him. I said,"Why did you live for so long? Comparing age with a tortoise? It was enough! Why don't you put a watch in it and I'll leave a will for my son. After a few hundred years, I'll let them dig up your grave and make some money!”
This made my uncle so angry that he ignored me. "Uncle, let me ask you a question that you definitely don't know!"”
"Tell me!" his uncle roared. There's nothing here that I don't know!”
"Say, aren't we the first batch to come here to dig graves?”
Uncle straightened his body. I knew he was going to show off. He said,"You asked the right person! I think the first batch came in during the Eight-Nation Alliance. This group of Russians dug out a grave. When we found that place, we found their flag. Your grandfather was so angry that he almost swore not to do business with the Russians anymore!”
"Is it true?" I asked in surprise. If you're lying to me, your son won't have an asshole!”
His uncle said,"I lied to you that your son doesn't have an asshole! There are even rotten leather shoes and graves that are dug up directly. Unlike us, who only open the door and not dig the graves! These bastards didn't just dig graves, they didn't even let the animals go. They dug up the graves and took away the treasures. They threw the rotten intestines of some animals into the graves and destroyed everything that couldn't be taken away! What we saw was a conjoined grave, and they basically didn't let it go. That was infuriating!”
Uncle's words made my blood boil. It was as if I had seen the actions of the invaders back then.
While I was still cursing the Russians for being invaders, our car stopped. I wasn't paying attention and bumped into the window again. I complained,"Next time you want to park, can you say hello to me?"”
I rubbed my head and got out of the car. After I got out, I realized that this place was different from other places. There were many earth walls about a kilometer away. The earth wall was also broken and intermittent, and it was much higher than the horizon. There were many bumpkins of all sizes around us, and there were dried weeds growing on them.
Second Uncle looked at me in a daze and came over to say,"See that? This is the Ancient City of Loulan!"
I was quite surprised and raised my voice an octave. How could it be called a city with such a small amount?”
"I say, is there only so little left in the ancient city of Loulan?" Second Uncle asked. That was just a small village in Lou Lan! It was just a relatively rich village!”
So this ancient city of Loulan isn't a concentrated city like ours now. The ancients really had a vague concept of a city.
Grandpa walked over and said in a low voice,"What are you shouting for? What are you shouting for! Are you afraid that others can't hear you?" Then, he called everyone to gather together." Erzi, you and Min-er will hide Lun Tai later. Remember, scatter and hide. Unload everything to the ancient village. Xiao Hua, drive the van a kilometer away. Dali, park the Santana in the ditch near the ancient village and help Erzi and the others unload the van. The rest of you, go around and take a look. Don't bump into anyone. We'll meet here after you're done. Hurry up!"
After saying that, he took a pot of water from the Santana and disappeared into the ancient village. Second Uncle and I took off the tires and each rolled one before running around. There were many country bumpkins, so throwing two at a place was considered hiding. It was strange. After hiding it, I couldn't find it. I looked at Second Uncle and felt a little anxious. I said to him,"It's over! I can't find where I hid just now.”
Second Uncle said," I remember it. Look, it's all behind the big bumpkin. That's a place that ordinary people can't find!”
I found a big bumpkin, and sure enough, there were two behind me. I turned around and said,"Second Uncle, you're so amazing. I don't remember much, so remind me more!”
This compliment made Second Uncle feel smug." Remember to ask more when you work with me in the future!”
When we hid the tires, the broken van ran past us. I saw that cold face again. The next second, the sand that was brought up covered my face. Uncle had already cleverly avoided it and looked at my dusty face while covering his mouth and giggling.
When the car drove into the ancient village, I realized that there was a different world here. The entire bulging hillside was actually empty, and there were more broken walls and tiles below. The ditch that Grandpa mentioned was a round nest that was watered by the rain, but it was relatively big.
When the car stopped, Uncle was already there. The two cars were side by side, and we began to unload our things. Water-resistant clothing, shovels, pickaxes, oilpaper, watermelons, naan, water, and oil barrels were unloaded on the ground. Then, they were hidden behind a few hidden broken walls.
At this time, the sun was already setting. My uncle took a few naang, I carried three water bottles, and my second uncle took a few pieces of dried horse meat and horse intestines and walked towards the meeting place. From afar, I saw Sister Hua leaning against a bumpkin. Her slender legs were straight and crossed, and her cap blocked the setting sun. Her long hair was caressing her face. She looked very moving. The only thing that wasn't moving was the Yengisar she had on her waist. It was about the same length as the one she had given me. My desire instantly disappeared.
As soon as everyone sat down, I excitedly went to look for firewood. In the end, my uncle called me back and said,"Can you not harm us? If you light the fire now, you can see it clearly from 20 kilometers away. Once the Cultural Relics Bureau comes, we'll all die here!”
I said,"Is it because we haven't been able to eat anything hot these past few days?”
"You came out to seek money, but you don't want to suffer! I really don't know how you got into university! Oh, no! How did you get into high school!"
I ignored him and broke off half of the pancake and stuffed it into my mouth. The weather had been hot for the past few days. When the dry naang entered his mouth, it was as if he was chewing on a stone. Second Uncle looked at me." I want to eat something hot! Put the naan on the ground. When the sun sets, you can eat hot food!”
I rolled my eyes at him, but Sis Hua was smiling brightly. I completely ignored the two of them and only lowered my head to eat the naan. At this moment, Grandpa came out of nowhere and sat down to eat the naang without saying a word. Uncle came back in a while and said,""The surroundings are safe!" He also started to eat naang.
I ate a mouthful of naang, a mouthful of dried horse meat, and a mouthful of water. When Grandpa saw it, he said,"Save some water. It's been hot these two days. If you don't drink it, everyone will suffer.”
I held the water and looked at the people around me. I didn't know if I should put it down or hold it. She saw that her uncle and the others had not drunk a single sip of water until now. They only took a few big gulps after they finished eating. So they were so frugal with water! I also learned from them, but I realized that I couldn't swallow food without drinking water. I was so stifled that I saw stars. I couldn't stop drinking water. I could only take a quick sip when no one was paying attention. It was difficult for me to finish my meal.
I felt that the days ahead wouldn't be easy. I suddenly wanted to eat Master Tang's Pure Meat Mixed Noodles and that broth.
Until bedtime, Grandpa basically didn't say much other than giving everyone a small packet of saline solution. I looked at the small bag of salt water. It was made overseas. This was the first time I saw my grandfather use something from abroad. I was a little curious, so I opened it and took a sip. At first, it was a little salty, but later it became a little sweet. After drinking it, it felt like eating instant noodles and drinking a mouthful of water. His uncle didn't seem to like drinking it and mumbled,""The things produced by the Russians are really not authentic. It would be fine if they were sweet, but sweet or not, bitter or not, it's really terrible!”
We slept in the ancient village, and the wind blew around us from time to time. It wasn't cold at night, so I put on a long-sleeved shirt and slept on the foam board. I felt like I was used to the foam board. I looked up at the stars in the sky and the moonlight shining on the ancient village. I wonder if there was a young man like me in this village a few hundred years ago, looking up at the moonlight and thinking about his thoughts? What would he be thinking? Thinking of his dream lover? [-3uww] Thinking about the safety of the country? Or was he thinking about whether he would eat an unmarried lamb for his next meal? Just like that, I fell asleep with the whistling sound of the wind blowing through the wall above my head. I could vaguely hear Second Uncle's deafening snoring, but who would care?
The next morning, when I opened my eyes, I was alone. I was shocked. They wouldn't leave me here and run away, right? I stood up and rushed up to the broken wall without bothering to shake off the soil on my body. I looked around and noticed the surrounding scenery. Not far away, there were many country bumpkins. The terrain around the country bumpkins was complicated, but it was obvious that it was not formed naturally, but…a grave. There were dozens of graves of different sizes, all of which were ancient tombs.
Suddenly, I saw my uncle, second uncle, and little uncle talking to two strangers. The two men were a few meters away from them. Uncle was holding the AK that I saw that night, while Second Uncle and Little Uncle were holding Yengisar. These guys didn't even say a word when they woke up. They let me sleep alone and missed the exciting part. Just as I was about to get up, someone covered my mouth from behind. I subconsciously turned around and touched Yengisar at my waist. In the end, that person grabbed my hand that was touching the knife with his other hand. I turned around and saw that it was Sister Hua. I was about to shout when she covered my mouth even tighter. My breathing quickened. The fragrance of jasmine on Sister Hua rushed into my nostrils. Her chest was still pressed against my back. I slowly raised a hand to indicate that I understood. Sis Hua slowly let go of my hand that was touching the knife. Then, she let go of my mouth and put a finger to her mouth, indicating that I should not speak. I slowly climbed down the broken wall and quietly asked,"What happened down there?"
Sister Hua looked at me and said,"I've met my peers!"”
I became nervous." Ah? You can even touch it?"
Sister Hua looked at me and said,"It's normal!" Wait for me to go around to the back! Don't run around!"
Actually, I'm very afraid! I was afraid that I would shout it out, so I quickly whispered,"I'll go down with you!"
Sis Hua frowned and said,"Don't raise the soil!" Come down quietly!"
When I reached the bottom of the ancient village, I kept walking close to the wall. I pulled out Yengisar and leaned against a broken wall. Sis Hua signaled for me to stop. I nervously grabbed onto Yengisar, thinking, This is the first time I'm going to face murder. Should I kill him or not? If I don't kill him, what if these bastards kill me? Who would know if I die in this wilderness?! I want to kill, but killing is not my forte. People say that the eyes of people who kill are different from ordinary people. If the police find out that I have killed someone, won't I have to pay with my life? What should I do?
My palms were sweaty and I was a little scared. Although I couldn't see, I was so nervous that my heart almost jumped out when I thought of Uncle's gun. Sis Hua did not seem nervous at all. She turned her head from time to time. These people are less than 20 meters away from me. Could they have accomplices? Perhaps their accomplices were watching me from a high vantage point, aiming their sniper rifles at my head. Are we going to be made into dumplings?
I wiped my sweat from time to time. I'm actually sweating. What should I do? I want to go back to the place where I slept just now. If I pretend to sleep, will they let me go and then I will quietly run away? I held the knife with both hands and thought, should I die with them? I haven't even been in a good relationship, and I'm going to die in this damn grave. Am I going to be buried with the ancients? After all, he was here to dig up someone else's grave. I really shouldn't have come back then! Now, his intestines were green with regret.
At this moment, Sis Hua retreated and came to my side."Hurry up! Retreat!"
I think this is simply heavenly music. Trembling, I ran to the inner part of the ancient village and sat down. After calming myself down, I realized that I had held the knife too tightly just now and could not even straighten my hand. "Sis Hua, are they…are they alright?" I asked as I rubbed my hands.”
"A few thieves!" Sister Hua said. It's fine!"
I said,"Can…can I go up and take a look?”
"Be careful!" Sis Hua said.
This time, I quietly craned my neck to take a look, but there was no one below. I stuck my head out and realized that the two of them were starting their motorcycles and running faster than rabbits. Behind him, Second Uncle and the others were chasing after him. I felt that it was strange. Aren't they in the same industry? Weren't all colleagues enemies? What was going on?
I was full of questions. Sister Hua looked at it with binoculars for a while before coming down and saying,"They're gone. Bring me something to eat! I'm hungry!"
I nodded in agreement and went to get a can and a naan before handing it to her. She quickly pried open the can with Yengisar. She took a bite of naang and looked into the distance as if she was invisible. I stood there awkwardly with a naan in my hand and half a horse intestine. I asked,"Sister Hua, let me kill a watermelon for you!" Eat more watermelon in the morning and treat it as water. It's good for your body!”
"No need!" Sis Hua said. She lowered her head and continued eating.
Just as I was about to answer, I heard uncle and the others 'voices. Second Uncle said,"Little thief, you can't help but be scared!"”
"Look at the way they're running!" his uncle said. Wahaha!"
Uncle said,"You're too loud. If the old man hears you, you won't have a good ending!"”
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we just made a contribution!"”
At this moment, his grandfather walked down from a broken wall." So what if you've rendered meritorious service? Quiet down, let's eat!”
His uncle was so frightened that he didn't come back to his senses. We sat on the ground. I leaned against my uncle and asked,"Uncle, what happened?"
His uncle stole a glance at his grandfather and whispered,""A few little ghost faces!"
"Tell me!" I said eagerly.”
His uncle took out a notebook." They appeared during my shift this morning and took out a shovel as soon as they got out of the car. I woke them up and went to teach them a lesson! At that time, when we went down, I shouted," Tomb robbers? What do you do? The two little ghosts were shocked. They said that they were here for a vacation. As soon as your uncle loaded his gun, the two kids peed their pants. They said that they really weren't here to rob the tomb, but to take a look. When I showed them my notebook, the two of them became obedient. I said," You're not grave robbers. Do you think I'm a fool? Don't think we're easy to fool! They said that it was their first time here. They heard that many people had made a fortune here, so they came to take a look and asked me to spare them. At that time, I said,'Since it's your first offense, leave quickly. If you delay for a minute, I'll definitely teach you a lesson!'”
Uncle was like a storyteller. I said,"You're letting them go just like that?"
"If you don't let them go, do you still want them to stay for dinner?"”
I said,"What if they go back and find out that something is wrong and sue us?”
"Have you ever seen a person who made a ghost face report other ghost faces because they didn't dig a grave?”
"I've only been grimacing for a few days, how could I have seen it before!"”
Uncle took the horse intestines from my hand and took a bite." Don't worry! This was a guilty conscience! They might never want to make funny faces again in their lives!”
I thought it made sense. I was already so scared just now, let alone the little ghost face who was personally involved!
After eating, I felt my stomach was uncomfortable. Perhaps it was because I caught a cold last night. After drinking some water, my stomach began to grumble. I turned to a bumpkin and took a dump. Just as I took off my pants, I saw my uncle on a small hill not far away, looking at it with binoculars. At this moment, I saw a snake slowly sticking out its tongue and approaching my uncle. I was nervous and wanted to shout, but I hadn't put on my pants yet. I want to go over, but my memory tells me that all snakes are poisonous! This is the second time I've encountered a snake. The snake's head is so small, it's definitely poisonous! It didn't seem to want to attack its uncle and was still swimming slowly. At this critical moment, I found a lump of dirt and threw it fiercely. I shouted,"Uncle, be careful! Snake!"
My shout alarmed many people. I watched as my uncle turned around. He first stepped on the snake's body with one foot and held the handle of the knife with the other hand. He cut the snake's seven inches. His posture was smooth and unrestrained. I saw the snake twisting under his feet with its mouth wide open. Seeing that uncle had subdued the snake, I heaved a sigh of relief. The filth in my stomach whistled out, and I felt so good that I couldn't stand it. At that moment, I turned around and realized that a group of people were looking at me. There was my uncle, my second uncle, and even…Sis Hua.
"What's wrong?" his uncle teased. Why are you making a fuss when you're taking a dump?"
Second Uncle said,"From the color of your feces, I can tell that you caught a cold yesterday!"”
At that time, I really wanted to find a hole to hide in, especially Sister Hua's reaction. She took a look and turned around coldly to leave. Such an embarrassing thing actually happened to me. I simply wanted to die. "That…that snake wanted to bite Uncle, I…I…" I stammered.
They walked away, grinning. I squatted there moodily, and farted loudly again.
When I pulled up my pants, I walked to my uncle's side and looked at the snake that was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws in his hand. My heart was burning with anger. This is the second time I've been so scared by a snake that I've lost my temper. Now that I saw it, I didn't know how to describe my feelings other than being angry out of humiliation. I asked my uncle,"Is this snake poisonous?"”
"It's similar to the one you ate last time. It's not poisonous!"”
"Can I take a look?"
Uncle handed the snake to me. The snake twisted its body and wrapped around my arm. It felt very cold. Looking at the snake, I suddenly lost my killing intent. I touched its head and felt its gentleness, so I put it down. Once it touched the ground, it twisted its body and ran away.
Uncle said,"You go with them first! Don't bother about me!"
I replied with an "oh" and went to look for Grandpa and the others. This damned morning made me lose face.
