Chapter 9 What Can Go with Liquor (4)

  The sky has snowed, fluttering and drifting, just like Xiongshan. The sky is filled with misty clouds everywhere, but the snowflakes on Xiongshan seem to be bigger than those in Changhan.

  Everything is a bit fuzzy now.

  In the afternoon without class, Long Bao didn't go to the library as usual and stayed in the dormitory. Shi Wei was playing poker with his classmates.

  He had no interest in playing cards at all, so he lay on the bed with his eyes closed.

  I'm getting more and more embarrassed about that kind of reaction to my own body, what the heck is this?! I'm getting more and more confused.

  Ever since the incident of Huang Qiuya going downstairs, it's as if there's something strange inside me that started to wreak havoc. In just a few days, it has already conquered the Central Plains. What is this thing?! As soon as I lie down in bed, it immediately mobilizes the blood cells to march and demonstrate in my groin area, forcing the little dragon (penis) to respond to its call, proudly raising its head, chest out, and following the rhythm of my heartbeat, automatically turning my shorts into a drumhead, frantically beating out a rhythm.

  It wasn't always like this. Xiaolongbao used to be hard as a rock in the morning, but now...

  Xiao Longbao is almost driven mad by it!

  As soon as he sees a girl with long hair, obvious feminine features and a bit of charm, Xiaolongbao starts to get excited! If he encounters one with a slender figure, prominent chest curve, elegant posture, or even just walking by with a whiff of fragrance, then Xiaolongbao really can't be controlled anymore, and his brain starts sending out waves of "I want to explore! I want to explore!"

  That's out of the question!

  I had to spend money buying a few ultra-tight elastic shorts, although I couldn't control Xiaolongbao's unpredictable movements, after all, I'm its dad, and I can use various means to restrict its activity range and movement space!

  I studied physiology and hygiene, recently I also flipped through many related books in the library, and I understand that this is the work of male hormones. But logically, shouldn't I have passed this stage already? Otherwise, how could my voice change? And why would I find many furry brothers for Xiaolongbao because I was afraid it was too lonely, letting them rely on each other and play hide-and-seek together?

  But why is it so insatiable?! It must repeatedly appeal to me: "Dad! As the saying goes, 'to exhaust one's eyes in gazing at a distance, and then ascend another story'!"

  I know this already, no need for you to tell me, you shameless, thick-skinned, foolish and greedy little brat!

  How can there be such a shameless and indiscriminate thing! I was born with this cheap thing by my side, now that I think about it, it's not even as good as abandoning it in the countryside and bringing back the leopard!

  To be honest, nowadays my mind always has some uncontrollable fantasies, for example, the other day I was flipping through that book "The Lover of Lady Chatterley", and oh dear, my brain suddenly went dizzy, by the time I realized it, little dragon (penis) had already stood up high with great excitement, making me dare not stand up. In the end, I forcibly pressed it down and clamped it firmly between my legs, refusing to let it move.

  Sometimes at night, I recall the feeling of holding Wenli in my arms, but that seems like a very distant and vague thing now. On the other hand, the sensation of grabbing Huang Qiuya's chest last time is particularly vivid. To be honest, there's still a thought in my heart that wants to do it again.

  Although I'm not yet at the point where I join Shi Wei in discussing and evaluating the school's girls, saying things like who has big breasts or who has a nice butt, I've become more and more interested in their topics and want to delve deeper into understanding them.

  Shi Wei is actually still a virgin, this is what he secretly told me and repeatedly warned me not to reveal, otherwise, we can't be brothers! Keeping Shi Wei's virginity secret helps him brag about his **history** in front of his brothers. In fact, I know the most clearly that everything he said was from watching online. He said he watched many porn videos, he said he didn't like American ones, heard they were like beasts when doing it; he said he preferred yellow-skinned people's bed scenes, gentle and subtle, occasionally revealing key parts, that's what he called beautiful!

  I've never watched a pornographic film, I don't know what it's like, but when Shi Wei talked about it with that somewhat yearning tone, I also had the idea of going to experience it.

  Thinking and thinking, the little dragon tent was set up again. However, due to the great pressure, the height of the tent is limited. It seems that it has been humiliated for a long time!

  Haitao suddenly turned around and saw me lying on the bed in a special shape, then quietly walked over and whispered to Duo: "Lao Liu, are you thinking of Huang Qiuya?"

  I was startled awake from my reverie by a voice, and seeing it was Lao Da, I hastily said, "Nothing, just daydreaming."

  "Daydreaming? Don't lie to me, okay? I'm a veteran." Lao Da has also been infected with Shi Wei's slyness lately.

  "It's really not!" I thought to myself that it didn't count as thinking about Huang Qiuya at all, I just recalled that feeling from back then a little, but seeing Lao Da say this, I actually want to ask Lao Da, who has been through this before, what's going on with me.

  Haitao sank into deep thought for a long time, perhaps silently recalling his past feelings and experiences.

  "Old Six, maybe your situation is a bit special, different from mine. Although my thing would sometimes get hard during the day too, it wasn't as fierce as yours! Based on what you said, I estimate that maybe you developed earlier than others, and because of some slight contact with women (Haolong emphasized the word "slight"), your hormone secretion is abnormal. Back then, I just wanted to figure out the female reproductive system, but I didn't have a reaction as intense as yours! He glanced at Longbiao's tent, which was standing upright and unyielding. Also, when I was your age, my little brother had just started growing hair, but you... it's said that you're already fully grown! And your thing is a bit too big, exceeding the normal level of our countrymen! You should show it off, how great would that be? Even I feel a bit inferior!"

  Shi Wei had already discovered that Hai Lao Da and I were whispering to each other. He held his breath for a moment, then suddenly threw down the card and rushed over to ask me in a low voice: "Lao Liu, have you ever had nocturnal emissions?"

  I was amazed at his hearing, but I would never be surprised by his question, and honestly replied: "No."

  "My god! You've never even had a wet dream, do you still count as a man?" Shi Wei's most skilled move was to take things up a level, he said this way he could fully grasp the initiative in language exchange.

  "Old Three! Can't you speak properly? What does nocturnal emission have to do with being a man?" Hai Lao Da showed his dissatisfaction, "I know you've been through a lot, if you're capable, then tell me!"

  Shi Wei has his own unique way of dealing with new things and problems. He glanced around and said, "Lao Liu, to be honest, is your ** still wrapped in its original packaging and hasn't been opened yet? Has your head never been exposed to the sun or felt the cool breeze?"

  "This sentence gave Long Bo a furious astonishment: 'How come you looked at it so carefully last time?'"

  Long Bao didn't catch what Shi Wei said earlier, "your head" instead of "your **". Shi Wei got away with a big lie and was delighted in his heart. Hai Lao Da, however, did catch it and gave Shi Wei a stern look, pushing him aside with his hand.

  Long Wan was depressed and unhappy, so Hai Lao Da decided to use his ultimate move to thoroughly help Long Wan escape the suffering of male hormones, testosterone, female hormones, and growth hormones.

  "Lao Liu," Hai Lao Da's face turned extremely solemn. "I have decided to pass on the ultimate technique of the Hai family to you now, listen carefully!"

  I heard there's a trick, several brothers rushed over: "Quickly say it! Quickly say it!"

  "Stop arguing! Stop arguing!" Hai Lao Da was clearly annoyed that everyone was putting all the blame on his broad back, "If you keep making a racket I won't tell you anything!"

  "Alright, alright! No more arguing! Big brother, speak!"

  "When I was feeling really bad myself in the past, that's what I did," said Lao Hai, hesitating for a moment, damn it, should I tell them or not?

  "What's the way? What's the way?" Shi Wei was so anxious that he almost jumped onto the table, and Long Bao also looked at this big brother with a hungry and thirsty gaze.

  Haitao gritted his teeth and said: "It's when you're really uncomfortable, you use your hands to grab your brother, like this," Haitao made a circular motion with his hand as if holding a microphone, "Then you shake back and forth, up and down, left and right, and rub vigorously. You take those itchy things... oh yeah, I mean your descendants, and bring them out. Then you'll feel comfortable! Nothing's wrong!"

  We were all stunned!

  The old shrimp felt a bit embarrassed and smiled awkwardly.

  Shi Wei was the first to react, shouting loudly: "Damn it! Isn't this **!!!!!!!!!???????"

  ……

  I am lying in bed resting.

  Haitao was whispering sweet nothings to Wu Qingfen, while Liao Ye and Liu Siyun, Wen Xuan and Feng Yan, as well as Qiu Qin and Wei Yunping were all chatting and laughing together. Even Shi Wei was trying his best to curry favor with Du Ci, his expression so eager that he seemed like he wanted to kneel down on the ground and beg Du Ci to be his girlfriend right away.

  I watched them, feeling warm and fuzzy inside. After a while, I picked up another book to read, but after reading a few lines, I couldn't understand anything. This was just Er Yuehe's popular history "Emperor Kangxi", how could I not understand it? Why did it feel like I was reading Hegel's "Logic"?

  I turned over the cover of the book and found that even the words on it had become distorted, like oracle bones twisted and curved, and also like tadpoles swimming continuously in the water. Gradually, I couldn't recognize these few characters either.

  I put the book back on the table, took off my shoes and socks, lay down on the bed again, didn't cover myself with a quilt, but I didn't feel cold, it was cool like this.

  Everyone is still busy with their own affairs, saying what they should say. No one pays attention to me lying in bed, lost in thought.

  The bedroom door opened and two people came in, one wearing white clothes and the other wearing black clothes. The face of the person in white was a bit pale, while the face of the person in black was a bit dark. As soon as they entered, they started checking the electrical wires and inspecting the light bulbs. Everyone took a glance at them before busying themselves with their own affairs again.

  After a while, the two of them walked towards my bed. They didn't smile or say anything. I wanted to greet them, but my body was too weak. I tried to get up, but I had no strength at all. All I could do was nod my head slightly as an apology.

  They exchanged a glance between their black and white clothes, then smiled at me and sat on my bed. The one in black sat at my feet, the one in white sat in front of my shoulders. The one in black grabbed my right foot, the one in white grabbed my right hand.

  I find it strange, who are they? I don't know them at all, what are they trying to do?

  I really want to break free from them, I feel so uncomfortable, they're holding me like this, it's so hard for me. But my whole body is powerless, I can't even move my head, let alone turn over and resist.

  Suddenly, the black clothes licked up my toes with their mouth, making a crunching sound. The white clothes ate up my fingers with their mouth, without making any noise.

  I saw them eating me with seemingly happy expressions, as if my hands and feet were very delicious.

  I don't know why I couldn't feel the pain, I was completely powerless to turn over, completely powerless to kick my feet, completely powerless to wave my hands, and I watched with wide eyes as they happily ate me.

  In a little while, I was horrified to find that my sworn brothers who were playing and frolicking in this small dormitory had all disappeared, as if they had vanished into thin air. In front of me, there was only the dim wall with many flowing colors on it, but the colors were not bright. However, I could clearly hear Shi Wei's various voices, their voices were ringing in my ears right in the dormitory.

  My right calf has been eaten away by the black clothes, now it has started eating my right thigh. My right upper arm has been eaten up by the white clothes, now it has started eating my right forearm.

  I didn't see my blood flowing out, nor did I see my shattered bones falling from their mouths. They were completely devouring me without wasting a bit, with very satisfied expressions, and laughing, laughing very happily.

  I'm paralyzed with fear! I force my mouth wide open, I try my best to scream out loud, I believe that as long as I can make a sound, my brothers will definitely stop them from eating me, they'll definitely chase them away, and they'll definitely send me to the hospital.

  I didn't think about whether I would become a cripple or an amputee in the future, all I could think of was that I wanted to shout out loud, I wanted to tell my brother, I'm in trouble, I want to ask for help from my brothers!

  I must shout louder, shout desperately, and shout until I lose my voice!

  I need help! I want my brothers to come and save me! I urgently need them to rescue me!

  But I couldn't make a sound! I couldn't even open my mouth!

  I see my right thigh and my right arm getting smaller and smaller, I see them laughing more and more happily, I am extremely terrified!

  Extreme fear finally made me open my mouth, I poured all the remaining strength in my body into my throat, and I let out a hoarse scream!

  But I could only open my mouth wide and move my lips, unable to make a sound!

  I couldn't utter a word!

  Where is my voice? Where is my voice? WHERE IS MY VOICE!!!

  My eyes were forced shut after I exhausted what little strength I had left.

  I can barely keep my eyes open!

  I can no longer hear the voices of my brothers, nor can I even hear the sound of these two people chewing on meat and bones in their mouths!

  If this goes on, I'll be eaten up by them!

  Despair's sorrow has completely invaded my entire brain, and my brain is also starting to gradually become dizzy, gradually...

  Gradually blank.

  I didn't even have the feeling of being devoured by consciousness.

  In the Lingtai, only a hint of emptiness remained, I found myself seemingly back in the water of Zijiang River, with the surface just above my head. My pants were grabbed by Hu Zi De as a lifeline, and his dying struggle took me to the depths of the Zijiang River.

  I desperately want to get rid of him, I use all my strength, gathering all the life, soul and power that I can gather, I must break free, or else I will die!

  The water surface seems very high and yet it seems within reach.

  I have been holding my breath for so long, my chest is about to burst, and I am filled with an infinite longing for life amidst the overwhelming terror of death.

  I kicked Huzi De with all my might!

  Finally, my nostrils, mouth and face emerged from the water surface, I breathed heavily.

  I took a deep breath to summon greater strength, and with my still intact left hand and left foot, I struck the two men in black and white clothes with all my might!

  ……

  Long Bing suddenly opened his eyes.

  There is nothing around, no black clothes and white clothes, no brothers and their girlfriends. There are only the dim gray walls of the dormitory and the bright white light.

  Long Wan's whole body was drenched in cold sweat, his heart racing like a drum, and his limbs were extremely weak. He took several deep breaths, trying to calm down his frantic heartbeat, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.

  It's just a dream, it's just a dream, it's not real, although it's as true as reality.

  Look at the watch, it's not even 9 o'clock yet. Today is Christmas Day, and now it's still before 9 o'clock on Christmas Eve.

  This Christmas is a white Christmas. The snow fell thickly this year, and the snow on the rooftops of the houses in the mountains has not melted yet, giving people a very cool feeling.

  Such a night is the most romantic time for two people, and all the brothers have already gone out to play with their girlfriends. Even Shi Wei has asked Du Ci out. Long Bao didn't want to be a light bulb, so he had this dream of black clothes and white clothes in his dormitory alone.

  Long Bao walked alone slowly on the Donghu South Road, with the Donghu Lake on his right side. He continued walking until he reached the lakeside. The winter night scene of Donghu was breathtakingly beautiful, especially with the twinkling lights on the lake's surface, which seemed to give the lake a vivid and lively life.

  Long Bao kept thinking about this dream: if according to Freud's interpretation of dreams, how should he interpret it? This dream was too real, so real that it seemed like reality was happening, and it happened right here, right on himself.

  The old man had already made it a habit, every day at this time he would walk to the east lake and look around, thinking deeply.

  However, today is Christmas Day. Nowadays students like to celebrate Western-style Christmas. There are obviously more student couples on the road today than usual.

  The old man likes the vitality of young people, he loves to see the warmth of young people, which often reminds him of his deceased wife. As an old man, apart from doing some academic research, there is only memory left. Nowadays, it's really getting old, just like this student calling himself, he can't remember at all. Well, not remembering is also inevitable, after all, he has less face-to-face communication with students now, and he's old.

  This boy is very respectful of himself, and his sincerity can be heard from the way he greets himself.

  I didn't expect to run into you, respected De Lao, by the East Lake. I hastily went forward and greeted him with a "De Lao, hello!"

  The old man smiled at me and said: "Young man, you also like to enjoy the scenery like me, why didn't you go out and play with your classmates?"

  I saw Teacher De walking back, I felt it was a rare opportunity and must ask him about the question that I had not figured out, which is "what is wisdom" assigned by Teacher De several months ago for us to think on our own. Since then, Teacher De has never mentioned or explained it in class again. Although I thought of dozens of answers, I felt that I still did not grasp the true meaning of Teacher De's words.

  The old man smiled at me after hearing my question, looked me up and down, asked for my name, and under my devout gaze, he pointed to the sky with his right index finger, then to the ground, then to the pedestrians passing by, then to his own head and heart, then to mine. Finally, the old man placed his thin but not as wrinkled as Grandpa Qi's right hand on my chest where my heart beats, and paused for a moment.

  The old man nodded meaningfully at me and left.

  Is the old man enlightening me about something? Just like Sun Wukong in Journey to the West being enlightened by Bodhi Ancient.

  What does De Lao want me to understand? What is wisdom after all? Is it just this simple gesture?

  ……

  Back in the dormitory, only Liao Ye had returned. He smiled at me and didn't chat or talk, he just lay on his bed reading a book.

  I saw his situation and didn't want to disturb him either.
