A certain gentleman, Kunzhong, whose name is hidden now, is still a good friend in middle school. After many years of separation, the news is gradually missing. A few days ago, I heard that he was seriously ill. When he returned to his hometown, he took a roundabout way to visit, but he only met one person, who said that the patient was his younger brother. Lao Jun came all the way to see me, but he recovered early and went to a certain place to wait for me. Because of his laughter, he showed me two volumes of his diary, saying that he could see his illness that day and might as well present it to his old friends. If you read it carefully, you will know what is wrong with it, such as "persecution mania". The language is quite confusing and incoherent, and there are many absurd words. There is no moon or day on it, but the ink color and font are different. It seems that it was not written at one time. There are also some connections between them, and here is a summary for medical research. There are errors in the language in the record, and it is difficult to change a word; but although the names of the people are all from the village, not known to the world, and have nothing to do with the general description, they are all easy to distinguish. As for the title of the book, I wrote it after my recovery and will not change it. Met on April 2nd, seventh year.
One
Tonight, the moonlight is very good.
I haven’t seen him for more than thirty years. But when I saw him today, I felt particularly refreshed. Only then did I realize that I had been in a daze for the past thirty years or so; however, I had to be very careful. Otherwise, why would the Zhao family's dog even look at me?
My fear is justified.
Two
There is no moonlight today, I know something is wrong. When he went out carefully in the morning, Zhao Guiweng had a strange look in his eyes: he seemed to be afraid of me, as if he wanted to harm me. There were seven or eight people whispering about me, smiling at me with their mouths open. I felt cold from head to toe, knowing that their arrangements were all in place.
I am not afraid, I will still go my way. A group of children in front were also talking about me; their eyes were the same as Zhao Guiweng's, and their faces were ashen. I thought I had some grudge against the child, and he felt the same way. I couldn't help shouting, "Tell me!" and they ran away.
I thought: What grudges do I have against Zhao Guiweng, and what grudges do the people on the road have against me? Only twenty years ago, Mr. Gu Jiu kicked Mr. Gu Jiu’s old journal. Very unhappy. Although Zhao Guiweng didn't know him, he must have heard the news and expressed his grievances. He made a promise to people on the road to fight against me. But what about small children? At that time, they were not born yet, so why are they still opening their strange eyes today, as if they were afraid of me, as if they wanted to harm me. This really scares me, makes me curious and sad.
I understand. This is what their mother-in-law taught me!
Three
I can't sleep at night. Everything must be studied before you can understand it.
They—some of them had been caned by the magistrate, some of them had been slapped in the mouth by a gentleman, some of the government servants had taken advantage of his wife, and some of them had been forced to death by their creditors; their expressions at that time were all... Not as scary as yesterday, nor as fierce.
The strangest thing is that the woman on the street yesterday beat her son and said, "I'm going to bite you a few times before I get angry!" But he looked at me. I was startled and couldn't hide it; the group of people with green faces and fangs burst into laughter. Chen Laowu caught up and dragged me back home.
When I was dragged home, everyone at home pretended not to know me; their faces were all the same as others. After entering the study, he locked the door behind him, as if he was locking up a chicken or duck. This incident makes me more and more unable to guess the details.
A few days ago, the tenants of Langzi Village came to complain and told my elder brother that a big evil man in their village had been beaten to death by everyone; a few people dug out his heart and liver and used oil to kill him. Fried and eaten, it can strengthen your courage. I interrupted, and both the tenant and the eldest brother looked at me. Only today did I realize that their vision was exactly the same as that of the group outside.
When I think about it, I feel cold from the top of my head to my heels.
If they can eat people, they may not eat me.
Look at the woman’s words of “bite you a few times”, the smiles of a group of green-faced and fanged men, and the words of the tenants the day before yesterday, they are obviously secret codes. I saw that his words were full of poison and his smile was full of knives. Their teeth are all white and sharp, they are cannibals.
According to my own opinion, although he is not a bad person, since he kicked the Gu family's book, it is hard to say. They seemed to have ulterior motives, which I couldn't guess at all. Besides, when they fall out, they call people evil. I still remember that my elder brother taught me how to make a speech. No matter how good a person is, if he repeats a few words from him, he will make a few circles; if he forgives a bad person, he will say, "He is a genius who is different from the rest."
I can guess what they are thinking; besides, it is time to eat.
Everything must be studied before you can understand it. People have often eaten people since ancient times. I still remember it, but I don’t know it clearly. I looked up the history and found that there was no chronology in this history, and the words "benevolence, righteousness, and morality" were written on each crooked leaf. I couldn't sleep anyway, so I read carefully for half the night, and then I saw the words between the words. There were two words written all over the book, which were "cannibalism"!
There are so many words written in the book, and the tenants said so many things, but they all looked at me with strange eyes and smiles.
I am a human being too, and they want to eat me!
