by J.D. Salinger 20:14,May 25,2023


The hot summer is unbearably hot and unbearable.

Su Yang came out of the vegetable field, wiped his sweaty brow, and walked home while eating a large radish.

He ate very quickly, and ate a big radish in a few strokes.

I touched my stomach, but I still feel hungry...

"Xiao Su, I'm going to go to see the food again." A few grandparents enjoying the shade under the big tree on the roadside asked, waving cattail fans in their hands.

"Yes." Su Yang said with a smile, and continued to walk forward.

"Hey, what's the use of going to school? These are the college students that the Old Su's Family has worked so hard to train!"Auntie Wang said in a low voice, "All these years of school have been for nothing. My son didn't graduate from junior high school. Now he is in the city. I earn three or four thousand a month!"

In Big Stone Village, if you farm at home, a family's annual income of five or six thousand is not bad.

Many young couples give birth to their grandparents, and the couple go out to work together, and no one wants to stay at home to farm.

Although the family gathers less and leaves more, it is also forced by life.

Farming is not only hard work, but you can't make much money. If the year is not good, you may even lose money for fertilizers.

In addition, there are no enterprises in Big Stone Village, and the young people basically go out. There are not many people at Su Yang's age who stay in the village.

"That's right. I remember that when Xiao Su was just admitted to university, he made Lao Su happy, thinking that this child would definitely eat the country's food in the future." An old man shook his head, "Hey, it's a pity that this child has a strange disease. Suffering from illness, I haven’t even finished college, so I’m going to eat up my family.”

"Not going to school has nothing to do with illness. Don't tell it. I heard people say that it was the kid who didn't study well in the capital. He fought with others and was expelled from school..."

"Ah? I heard Lao Su say that the child is not in good health, and he is back from school to recuperate. He will go to school when he recovers." The elders and aunts cheered up, "Who did you hear about this?"

"Yesterday Three Fatty came back and was chatting with Xiao Su by the fish pond. I happened to pass by and heard something."Auntie Wang said mysteriously, "Looking at a very honest child, hey!"

Although their voices were small, Su Yang could hear them clearly, and there was a trace of bitterness in his heart.

In the past two years, he has listened to the sarcasm and ridicule countless times.

He looked down at his big belly, then looked up at the distance, his thoughts flew far, far away...

Three years ago, at the age of eighteen, Su Yang was admitted to Yanjing University in the capital as the champion of the college entrance examination in Yunhai City, East Sea Province , and became the "Golden Phoenix" flying out of Big Stone Village.

At that time, everyone was optimistic about his future, and even relatives who hadn't been in touch with the Su family for many years came to congratulate him one after another.

At that time, Su Yang was high-spirited, high-spirited, smug, and full of pride.

It's a pity that the impulse in the university turned this beautiful vision into a bubble!

In the first semester of his freshman year, his girlfriend Deng Xiao cried and said that she was being harassed and kissed her forcibly.

Su Yang was very angry when he heard this, he found the boy in a fit of anger, and beat him up severely.

Unexpectedly, the boy who was beaten was Chris Xu , the eldest son of the Xu Lu Group , one of the three major groups in East Sea Province , a veritable rich second generation, and threatened to send him to prison.

Although Xu Lu Group headquarters is in Yunhai City, it also has several branches in Yanjing with strong strength.

Many people persuaded Su Yang to apologize to Chris Xu and beg him well, maybe the other person's adults don't remember the villain's mistakes, and the two of them are still fellows from East Sea Province, maybe the matter just passed away.

After all, one is the poor third generation in the countryside, the other is the rich second generation, one is on the ground, and the other is in the sky. What do you use to fight against others?

Take a step back, the sea and the sky are bright.

It's hard to "fly" out of the mountain village, otherwise the chicken will fly and the egg will be beaten, and the future will be lost!

But Su Yang has a very stubborn temper and is determined not to apologize.

In the end, he was not sent to the bureau, but was expelled from the school!

This result was beyond many people's expectations. Su Yang's professional grades were the first in the school back then, and it is very possible that he is a real top student and even be recommended to go abroad for further study in the future.

This incident caused a great sensation on campus, and many people felt sorry for him.

A young man with a bright future was ruined just because of a moment of impulsiveness.

After dropping out of school, Su Yang had no face to go back to the village, and repeatedly failed when he went out to find a job. Even if he managed to find a job, he would be fired the next day without any reason.

Once in an alley, he was beaten by gangsters for no reason. If an enthusiastic elder sister passed by and called the police, he might have been beaten to death.

After he was sent to the hospital, he spent all his savings, but got another strange disease.

No matter when I am hungry, I have to eat dozens of catties of food every day.

The strange thing is that after eating so much, he just has a bigger belly and doesn't gain weight.

In addition, he couldn't find a job, so he had to go back to the village and help with some farm work at home.

What's even more tragic is that not long after returning to the village, Deng Xiao knew about his situation, so he never contacted him again, and even blocked his phone number.

Even if we break up, let's talk about it, what is this?

Snapped!

Su Yang lost his mind thinking about it, didn't pay attention to his feet, tripped over a raised stone, and fell straight to the ground.

Up to now , Big Stone Village has only one asphalt road built to the entrance of the village, and the rest are dirt roads, which are muddy and difficult to walk when it rains.

Su Yang stood up and kicked fiercely at the stone a few times, kicking the stone away and returning home.

In the past two years, in order to take him to treat this strange eating disease, his parents not only spent all their savings, but also owed relatives and friends a whole lot of debt.

But the illness was not cured, and he ate more and more.

Today, my parents went to borrow money from Su Yang's second uncle's house in the county seat, and they haven't come back yet.

After a while, he received a call from his father Su Guoping, saying that they might not be going home tonight and asked him to cook for himself.

Su Yang ate ten bowls of rice and drank more than ten bowls of vegetable soup before lying on the bed, but he was still very hungry.

"Why do I have such a strange disease?" Su Yang rubbed his stomach and murmured, "I haven't done anything harmful. Why did God punish me like this?"

At this moment, something seemed to move in his stomach.

Su Yang was startled, his whole body tensed up, and he didn't dare to breathe.

After waiting for a while, nothing unusual happened.

Su Yang frowned, could it be a hallucination?

Wang!

At this time, a black earth dog ran to the bed and wagged its tail.

Su Yang touched its head, this is Kevin Black raised by his family.

He teased Kevin Black for a while, his mood improved, he lay on the bed thinking about many things, and fell asleep slowly.

Only by sleeping can the intense hunger be relieved.

...

In the middle of the night, he woke up suddenly with a sharp pain in his stomach.

Turn on the light and be stunned by the sight in front of you!

A creature actually bit his belly and crawled out!

This monster looks like a newborn snake, about ten centimeters long, with tiny scales!

"Fuck!" Su Yang yelled, "What kind of monster is this!"

He has been afraid of snakes since he was a child, and when he saw that he had given birth to a "snake", he became even more frightened.

"Fuck you!" Su Yang was immediately wrapped in anger, touched the walnut hammer beside the bed, and smashed it down, "It's all your fault, you made me look like this! Monster, go die, go Die!"

The hammer hit the unknown creature hard, blood flowed on Su Yang's stomach, a few drops splashed on the ground, and was licked up by Kevin Black who came running.

The creature suddenly turned into a stone, with its mouth open and an aggrieved expression on its face.

Only then did Su Yang stop, took a long breath, and frowned as he looked at the stone in front of him.

If you look closely, you will find that there are actually two small horns on its head, and four small claws on its body, very similar to the legendary dragon.

"This...isn't this a snake, is it a dragon?" Su Yang murmured, regretting his recklessness.

It's just that whoever sees a snake-like monster at first will panic.

Coupled with the fact that this monster caused his current miserable situation in the past two years, it made him extremely angry, so he beat it to death.

But seeing Shi Long clearly, he did regret it.

After all, this is a dragon!

Or he was born, as ridiculous as it is...

"Huh!"

Just when Su Yang was remorseful, the wound on his stomach healed quickly, and the blood of the stone dragon slowly seeped into his body!

"Wow... woof, woo..."

At this time, Kevin Black suddenly rolled on the ground, seemed to be in great pain, and then ran out frantically.

Only then did Su Yang remember that Kevin Black added a few drops of Shilong's blood just now!

The next moment, there seemed to be a burst of fire in his body, the blood was ignited, the blood vessels swelled rapidly, and he was sweating profusely in an instant. The terrifying heat made him extremely painful. Accompanied by bursts of sharp pain in his mind, he passed out.
