C53 (1/2)

Slowly, I opened my eyes. He found himself lying on the side of the road. A few dirty dogs were sniffing around me. When I looked again, I was naked. Not far away, he saw a trash pit. Inside, there were a few pieces of clothes that had been discarded by other families. I dismissed the dogs, jumped into the trash, picked up the rags, shook them, and put them on.

His tattered clothes stank, and there were a few holes in them. Of course, the size wasn't right either. It looked big on me. Better than nothing. After leaving the trash pit, they walked east for a short distance before arriving at the entrance of a village. It also looked familiar. Wasn't this my grandma's village?

It was already dawn. The sun was high and bright. Some villagers looked at me with loathing in their eyes and avoided me, as if they were looking at a beggar. The village was huge. I walked two kilometers before I reached the center of the village. Turning right, I turned into the alley of my grandmother's house.

It was a big alley. Inside was a spirit shed. Logically speaking, the shed should be bustling with noise after the event. But what I saw was a desolate scene. It was as if the white matter was over and only the shed was left. Could it be that I was delayed for an entire night? However, this piece of grass was still lying on the ground. Why didn't he bring it to the grave to be burned?

I lifted a piece of cloth into the shed and saw a black coffin parked in the center. On the altar was the portrait of my Second Uncle.

In the long and wide alley, there was only a group of sparrows bustling about under the sunlight, but not a single person could be seen. I wondered what was going on, and went on through the shed until I came to the gate of my grandmother's house.

In this broad daylight, his family had once again gone to waste time. But her front door was closed. So I banged on the door and shouted, ”Is there anyone here? ”Hurry and open the door for me!”

After a while, the door opened wide and a head popped out to look at me. I know him. He's my seventeen year old cousin, the one who looks down on me. I asked what was the point of closing the door during the day. Instead, he asked me, What are you doing here!

”Talented, who is it?” My grandmother's voice came from inside.

”Grandma, it's my aunt's pot!” the cousin replied.

”He's here! Quick, let him in!” His grandma's voice sounded somewhat anxious.

”Why do you want him to enter our house? If I see him, a hundred of me will be enough! ” Reluctantly, his cousin still guarded the door.

”Talent, what do you know! Quick, let your brother in! If you don't listen, I'll prick you with a needle! ” Grandma was angry.

So my cousin opened the door and let me into the yard. He even slanted his eyes at me and said that he was ugly and didn't know how to dress up properly. This time, he even pretended to be a beggar with a stench.

I stopped and pointed at my own face. ”Talent, let's be honest. Isn't my face better looking than yours?”

”You can drop it! How can you be as good-looking as me! In terms of body and face, you can't even compare to me! I'll kill you in a second! ” The cousin smiled.

Grandma walked over, looking at me, then looking at his cousin, and said: ”In terms of face, Shier is still the most beautiful. To be honest, if Shier had a body like yours, he would be a celebrity on TV! ”

His cousin was instantly angered, clenching his fists and glaring at his grandmother, he shouted: ”Old woman, are you blind! Words were like farts! The stench was so strong! I don't like to hear you talk! ”

Grandma was so angry that her frail, stooped body trembled. She pointed at him and said, ”Bastard grandson! If you scold me again, I'll go back to my room and prick you with a needle! ”

The cousin laughed and pointed at her. ”You call me a bastard grandson. Then I happen to be your grandson. If I were your grandson, wouldn't you be the old bastard? ”

Grandma was so angry that she started laughing, saying, ”You immoral grandson, why are you blabbering like that? Scram to the side!”

As my cousin came around me, he suddenly kicked me. Caught off guard, I plopped to the ground. He quickly got up from the ground and saw a saber lying on the windowsill. He ran over to grab it and rushed towards his cousin. He brandished the sword and tried to chop him up.

His cousin was so scared that his face changed. He quickly took a few steps back and shouted, ”Brother, brother, brother don't!” Brother, please don't! I was wrong! ” Grandma at the side tremblingly roared: ”Jin Shi, you can't! This was clearly Cousin Jing! Jin Shi! ”

I stopped waving and pointed my saber at my cousin, warning him, ”Boy, don't be too arrogant. Even if I don't kill you today. In the future, if you don't cure your rampant bad habits, there will be a day when someone else will kill you! What the heck is there to be so arrogant about? All day long, you look down on this fellow. What qualifications do you have? Do you think you're good-looking? This world is so much better looking than you! ”

The cousin smiled bitterly and said, ”Brother, I will change! Can't I change it? Put down your sabre first! ”

I threw the knife and followed my grandmother into the house.

Grandma closed the door and inserted the iron pin. It was all done mysteriously. She sat me down on a stool and moved a stool across from me. He didn't speak at first, but looked at me shaking his head and sighing. The facial features of his face were all scrunched up together.
