"Here Comes the Devil"

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the long-haired uncle slaughtered an old hen who did not lay eggs much and prepared for the festival.

The chicken is too old, the meat is difficult to stew, put the chicken down into the pot, add a pot of water, the water boiled, the heat slowly stewed. Two baskets of firewood were burned until the sun went down, and when the sun went down, the chicken finally rotted.

The family washed their hands in joy and arranged to eat and nibble on chicken.

At this moment, the eldest son, Qiu Sheng, ran into the house with a grunt: "Dad, Mom, the devil is coming!" ”

Immediately, the whole family tensed up, and the long-haired uncle asked busily, "Where did you come from?" ”

"East! Get off the embankment and fast-forward to the village! ”

"It must be the devils of the Baiyangqiao stronghold!" The long-haired uncle urged: "Quick! Get all the chickens out of the nest, plug the nest, and don't let the devils get caught! Let's run west of the village! ”

The family cleaned up a bit, and they couldn't take care of the chicken in the pot, so they ran to the west of the village in a panic, shouting as they ran: "The devil is coming!" I'm in the east of the village, so let's run! ”

The villagers also panicked, helped the old and the young, ran out of the village, scattered in the crops, hid everywhere, and did not dare to make a sound.

The moon is thin, the breeze is accustomed, and everything is silent, and only the autumn insects are chanting and chanting.

The long-haired lady looked around, there was only a pair of children, but she didn't see Qiusheng, she shouted a few times, and no one responded. "Where did this child go?" The long-haired lady was anxious.

"This child is also thirteen or fourteen, and he knows that he is a good villain, and xu is where the cat is." The villagers around him were relieved.

Over time, the children said that they were hungry and that they were thirsty, which was no trick, and no one cared about bringing food and drink. I had to scare them: "Talk again, let the devils hear, no one can live!" ”

There are so many mosquitoes in the field that they can't blow up at all. Everyone was stung and itched unbearably. There is no way, there are ghosts in the village, and the itch has to be endured.

In the middle of the moon, the earth is silver and white. The villagers wondered in their hearts: Why is there no movement in the village? I didn't hear the gunshots, nor did I see the red light of the burning houses, and in the past, when the ghosts entered the village, this was not the case.

At this time, I heard someone on the road shouting: "Uncles and uncles, there are no ghosts!" Go home! ”

The villagers could hear that it was the militia in the village who shouted, so they took their children and daughters out of the crop field, and one by one surrounded the militiamen and asked, "The devil is gone?" ”

The militiaman said, "We walked around the village twice outside the village, but we didn't see any ghosts anyway." Who saw the devil coming? ”

The long-haired uncle said, "My family's Autumn Students have seen the devil, and he said that the devil has gone down the embankment." ”

"Strange, there are people at several intersections who put up sentries, but I didn't see them." The militia groaned. "What about Qiusheng?"

The long-haired uncle shouted a few times, but was still missing.

A militiaman said, "Could it be that the devils are just passing by and coming down to pick a few pears and apples?" Let this wood block us, we can't see? ”

Seven guesses and eight guesses, everyone can't figure it out.

The villagers walked back one after another.

The long-haired lady yelled at Qiu Sheng in her throat, but there was still no response, and the family went into the cornfield to find all the places where they were lurking, and there was no personal shadow. But it made the corn leaves scratch the neck and hurt and itch.

The long-haired uncle said, "Maybe home has gone." ”

Helplessly, the family had to go home first.

As soon as I entered the house, I found that there was a lamp in the house, and gently entered the house, but I saw Qiusheng sitting at the table nibbling on chicken feet and eating fragrantly, and there was a pile of chicken bones on the table.

Qiu Sheng suddenly saw his parents return, and hurriedly went down to kang: "Dad, Mom, you are back?" Then he explained, "I also came back, these chicken bones were eaten by the devil, and I nibbled on a chicken claw!" ”

The long-haired uncle was suspicious in his heart, opened the lid of the pot, saw the nest head in the pot well, and understood eight or nine. I took the nest head out and fished it with a spoon, and there was no meat left, only chicken soup.

Let this bunny cub play! The long-haired uncle was furious, but he did not move, tasted the soup and it was not cold, and ordered to eat.

Chicken soup bubble head, one bowl for each person. The family was hungry and picked up chopsticks and took a big bite to eat.

Only Qiu Sheng, barely took two bites, said not to eat, put down the chopsticks, sat on the side and flossed his teeth.

The long-haired uncle put down the bowl, got up and went to the outhouse to find a burning stick, and when he came in, he pressed Qiu sheng, and the rain fell down, scolding while hitting: "Call you hungry!" Hungry for you! For a few bites of meat, the whole village was frightened! Thanks to the fact that you are still a brother, why do you do this for your younger brothers and sisters? ”

Qiu Sheng's body burned with pain, and he screamed like a pig, and he also sharpened his mouth: "Dad! Not me! What a devil to eat! ”

"I'll beat you little devil!" The long-haired uncle was even bigger.

When the mother saw that the child was crying and could not breathe, she advised: "His father, almost on the line, don't break him!" ”

"Don't you remember hitting him?" The long-haired uncle refused to stop.

"Remember to stay! father! I dare not! Qiu Sheng cried and confessed his mistake.

"Remember to live and fight too!" me! "The long-haired uncle is fierce.

In the years that followed, Qiu Sheng never lied once, and every time he remembered the absurd things of that year, he regretted it a lot.
