C51 (2/2)

”Why?”

”Because I'm afraid my heart won't be able to take it! Amongst the last Silk Bag, there is definitely the scariest thing in the world! ” Yang Dabao said.

Judging from his solemn expression and serious tone, it didn't seem like he was joking at all. I could even see that he was trying to contain his excitement.

I said smilingly, ”You still believe that? There's no saving you!”

”One thousand three hundred and sixty-seven people from Zhao Huang Village have died!” Yang Dabao stared at me and said.

”Oh, so many have died!” I blinked and looked down.

”More than two hundred of them are children who are not even five years old yet!”

”Oh, poor. He died at an age when he didn't know anything! There are so many new things they haven't had time to taste! ” ”No,” I said.

”You seem to be feeling very regretful!”

”What do you mean 'like I'm really sorry'? My heart hurts!” ”No,” I said.

Yang Dabao laughed again, there was an unspeakable ridicule in his smile.

I hated to see him smile like that, so I lowered my head.

”1,367 people! Although there are a lot of them, they are still far from 10,000!” Yang Dabao said.

”If 10,000 people really die, I'm afraid it will shock the entire world!” ”No,” I said.

After being silent for a while, Yang Dabao said: ”Jin Shi, are you not afraid of the heavens' retribution?”

”Why should I be afraid?” I looked up at him.

Yang Dabao's expression was especially complicated. He did not say anything else and just turned around and left.

I pulled the dry wood back a little and lay down on it and closed my eyes and slept.

At noon, Big Sister Jin Yuxia went into the kitchen to cook. I'll boil the pot for her. She brought me a bowl of cooked food. Seeing her go back and forth, she busied herself with serving the bowl. I couldn't help but say, ”It's fine if you cook for them, but if you're done then they won't come over to carry it. You have to bring it over to them!”

Jin Yuxia frowned and said: ”Brother, don't meddle in this matter! It would be great if a family could live a peaceful life! ”

I didn't say anything, just picked up the bowl and drank my food.

After dinner, I had nothing to do. He then moved a small stool to the courtyard and took out the fishing tackle as well, guarding the hole as he went fishing. Want a bowl of fish soup. Zhao Xinxin's mother saw this and said: ”Jin Shi, are you stupid? How can you catch fish in such a hole? I was going to pull some dirt to fill it up, but your dad wouldn't let me fill it up, so he said it wouldn't be convenient to pour some water into the pot! ”

I said, ”Eat the fish when I catch you!”

”What if you can't?”

”Even if we can't catch them, we can't!”

”If you have the time to fish, why don't you go take a look at the crops!” Otherwise, if I were to sweep the courtyard and dig out the feces in the latrine, I will! ” Zhao Xinxin's mother said.

I ignored her, fiddling with my fishing tackle.

”Didn't you hear what I said!? Do you want to get beaten up!? ” Zhao Xinxin's mother cried out.

I ignored her.

”Where's Big Treasure? Come out! Hit him! ” Zhao Xinxin's mother shouted towards the west room.

Yang Dabao rushed out of the west room with a wine bottle like a wild leopard, baring his teeth, he jumped in front of me and shouted, ”Bang!” He smashed the bottle of wine in his hand onto my head. Glass dregs flew everywhere. The wine bottle shattered. This bottle didn't hit the old wound on my head, my head didn't bleed, and I was fine. I continued to fiddle with the fishing tackle in my hand, not even bothering to lift my eyelids.

”What's going on? It didn't break his head even after knocking on it so hard. How could he smack his own head with a brick? Big Treasure, don't try any magic at all. If you want to beat him up for real, then do it! ” Zhao Xinxin's mother said angrily.

Yang Dabao laughed bitterly: ”Which bastard is using magic?! The one who does the magic is the dog. ”Fuck it!”

”Forget it, let him fish!” ”Let's see what he can fish out!” Zhao Xinxin's mother could only give up.

The few of them ate their fill and went to sleep in the house. This was not the time to be busy with farming. If you go to the street and you're not familiar with the villagers, there's no signal from the television. The skillet on the roof where the TV signal was collected was stolen. I don't know what else to do but sleep.

I was alone in the yard.

Suddenly, the fishing line loosened and tightened and began to sway back and forth. Some fish had taken the bait. I stood up and gathered up the fishing line. The line was too long, and the fish on the hook below was heavy, which took time and effort to collect. I was so tired that I broke into a sweat and finally got the fish out of the hole.
