C4 (1/2)

Counting the date, there were only eight days left until July 15th, 2006. I don't believe that Jin Yuxia will die by my hands.

When he woke up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky, and he could see that it was just after ten o'clock. The weather was so hot that the sheets were soaked with sweat. I went into the yard, washed myself with a basin of cold water, and was about to go into the kitchen to eat when I remembered the bucket with the head.

The bucket was gone.

My father just happened to come in from outside, so I asked, ”Dad, where was the barrel that was originally placed here?”

”It's still early in the morning, so I got carried away!”

”Why is he carrying our wooden bucket?”

”Tell me about growing some vegetables inside!”

After dinner, I went to find my grandfather. In his yard I saw the bucket. It was filled with fresh soil, and he was burying some rapeseed in it. Upon seeing me, he didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, as though he was unwilling to acknowledge me.

”Master, what kind of vegetables did you plant?” I took the initiative to greet him.

”What kind of seed do you like! It's none of your business! ” The other side did not have any good feeling at all.

”I'm here to look for the barrel!”

”You didn't see that I was using it!”

”What about the stuff in the barrel?”

”What is it?!” Pappy rolled his eyes and stared at me with a pair of muddy yellow beads.

At this moment, the sound of ”Bada” came from the west side of the room. Not long after, Grandmother Gao Zu, Hu Shizhen, walked out of the house with the Dragon Head Bow on her back. The two burn scars on her face were exceptionally smooth, as if they had been smeared with oil.

”Oh, my Ninth Young Madam! Why did you come out? You don't need to put an electric fan in, it's so hot outside! ” Grandfather quickly patted his hands that were stained with dirt, and ran over to support Hu Shizhen.

It was strange to say that his grandfather was not filial to his own mother. It was said that when Great-grandma was still alive, he ruthlessly pushed down his own mother for an egg. The old man fell down and lay up on the bed. He was so angry that he died soon after.

However, he was extremely filial to Hu Shizhen, he would rarely leave her body, and when he thought that her teeth were bad, he would give her half a bowl of soft egg soup for every meal. In less than three days, he would boil a pot of boiling water to help her wash. In the winter, she would sew cotton covers on her chair and wait until summer. She would lie down on the bed every night to sleep before she went to bed. It could be said that she had taken care of everything and was meticulous in her care.

In this way, others would inevitably be suspicious. They said that Hu Shizhen must have left some kind of treasure for my grandfather. Otherwise, why would this third grandson change her sexual nature?

Hu Shizhen stood at the threshold with her old face with deep lines all over her face looking at me as if she could see me. ”Whose child is this?”

”Da Laozhu's family! It's a Short Hunchback! ” Grandpa answered.

”Is there something wrong with this child's head?”

”Not good anyway!”

”What is he doing here?”

”Come and get the barrels!”

”Then give him back the barrel! What are you arguing about with a child! ” Hu Shizhen said somewhat angrily. She poked her grandfather in the calf with the stick.

Grandfather dumped the soil inside it and threw the empty bucket at me. He scolded, ”Scram! ”Don't come to my house in the future!”

”I'm not looking for a bucket. I was looking for the things in the wooden barrel that were originally filled! ”

”San Geda, what was in the barrel?” Hu Shizhen asked again.

”It's a head!”

”Head?!” Hu Shizhen's frail and emaciated body trembled, and she cried out in alarm with raised brows.

”It's fake. It's made out of rubber!” Grandpa explained.

”Made of rubber. That's a toy!” Give it back to the child! ” Hu Shizhen said.

”I buried it!”
