The sun is shining, and it is another early summer morning.

Shitou hitched up the carriage, got Hanhan on board, and the two of them went out.

In the past few days, they heard that there were more and more refugees in the county town, and incidents of looting and smashing occurred occasionally. Tian Danian and his wife were worried that their lives would not be peaceful, so they thought about going to the county town for the last time to buy more things that could be used at home - such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc.

Although these things are a bit more expensive now, it is better than not having them when you need them.

Originally, Tian Danian was going to go there in person.

However, yesterday at midnight, the second master had an acute illness and was not feeling well, so Tian Danian and his wife decided to go and see him.

So, the task of going to the county town to shop and buy groceries fell on Shitou.

Mu Tou smiled and wanted to go along, and even dragged Tietou, who had come to Tian Danian's house to play early in the morning.

However, Tietou refused, "My father said that I can't go to the county town recently. Mu Tou, you don't have to go either. Let's go fishing together in Xiaodong River."

"There are so many cunning fish in Xiaodong River, how can they be so easy to catch?"

"That's because you don't have good skills!"

When talking about this, Mu Tou felt angry.

It was not known whether the fish in Xiaodong River were deliberately against him. Others could catch a palm-sized fish after a few attempts, which was at least a gain.

But he gets nothing ten times out of ten.

The one who is most obviously different from him is Tietou. Tietou has extremely good luck and quick techniques. Whenever he sees a fish, he can catch it nine times out of ten.

"Are you trying to piss me off on purpose?"

Mu Tou was of course upset when his weaknesses were exposed.

Tietou ran away with a smile, saying that he would come back to find Mutou later. The two of them went to Xiaodong River to fish together. He didn't care whether Mutou agreed or not, and ran straight home.

Mu Tou spat twice, and seeing that his elder brother really didn't want to take him with him, he had no choice but to call his younger sister to go fishing together.

When Tian Xiaoman saw Mu Tou, he saw him talking to himself.

"Third brother, what are you nagging about?"

"Well, I'm drawing a circle and cursing Ironhead."

Tian Xiaoman couldn't help laughing, "Third brother, what hatred do you have with Brother Tietou? Why are you cursing him?"

"You don't know, that kid actually made fun of me, isn't it just because he caught more fish than me? I drew a circle and cursed him - there will be sand in the food, the water will choke his throat, and he will fall into the pit when he goes to the toilet."

Third brother, those are just things between kids, do you take them seriously?

but--

"Let's get ready quickly. When Brother Tietou comes, we can leave."

Speaking of fish, it seems that my family hasn’t eaten fish for a long time. If we can really catch a big one, we can have a feast in the evening.

However, the brother and sister waited at home for a long time but Tietou did not show up.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Mu Tou became impatient and took Tian Xiaoman with him to go to his third grandfather's house.

Before entering the yard, the brother and sister heard the howling of ghosts and wolves coming from the yard.

What happened? The two of them hurried into the house.

After Tian Danian's family finished building their house, Third Uncle also built three side rooms on the other side of his yard.

Originally, if it was just their family living there, they wouldn't need to build a new house. But now He Xiang has brought her three children back home, so the accommodation is a bit crowded.

After spending some money to build a few more rooms, Changsheng and Tietou moved here to live.

At this moment, Tietou's house was full of people.

Xiao Miao, who was standing at the end of the crowd, turned around and saw Tian Xiaoman and his sister coming. She was delighted and said, "Sister Xiaoman, Brother Mu, you are here."

"Where's Tietou? Why hasn't he come to find us yet? Didn't we agree to go fishing in Xiaodong River together?"

When mentioning Tietou, Xiaomiao had a strange expression on his face.

"What's going on? What's that smell? Why is it so smelly?"

Before he entered the house, when he got closer to the door, Mu Tou smelled a stench coming from the house.

Xiao Miao hesitated, and finally replied, "My brother—"

"What happened to Tietou?"

"My brother--he fell into the toilet."

what?

Tian Xiaoman and Mu Tou looked at each other in surprise. Tietou actually fell into the toilet?

"I'll go take a look." Mu Tou quickly pushed Xiao Miao and Zhaodi aside and went into the house.

Shanxing was looking for clean clothes for Tietou. Tietou seemed to have just taken a shower and was only wearing underwear.

He was yelling something and when he turned around and saw Mu Tou, his face looked extremely embarrassed.

"Mu Tou, why are you here?"

"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that such a big thing had happened to you! How did you do it? You're already so old, and in two years you'll be able to have a wife, but you actually fell into the toilet?"

"How would I know? The wooden planks on the toilet are very solid and usually there is nothing wrong with them. But today, when I stepped on them, they broke and I fell—"

Tietou didn't want to recall that feeling, it was too disgusting.

Mu Tou said a few more words of concern, then hurriedly took Tian Xiaoman and left Third Grandpa's house.

"Little sister, you said that Tietou fell into the toilet. Could it be that I cursed him?"

Tian Xiaoman shook his head, "No, it must be just a coincidence."

But in the afternoon, when Mu Tou and Tian Xiaoman heard that Tietou almost choked to death while drinking water, they shuddered all over.

Mu Tou looked at Tian Xiaoman and asked again, as if he was unsure, "Little sister, you said - it wasn't really me who cursed it, was it?"

Tian Xiaoman was suspicious, "Third brother, wait at home, I'll go talk to Xiao Miao, we'll talk when I come back."

When Tian Xiaoman came back, her expression was obviously a little solemn.

Tian Xiaoman heard from Xiaomiao that Tietou not only choked while drinking water in the afternoon, but also swallowed a large stone while eating, biting his tongue and bleeding a lot.

If falling into the toilet before was just a coincidence, then eating sand while eating and choking on water was a bit unbelievable.

After returning home, Tian Xiaoman sat there, staring at the wood, without blinking.

Mu Tou felt his back tingle when his little sister stared at him, "Little sister, what's wrong with you?"

Tian Xiaoman: "Third brother, I want you to do an experiment, but I haven't decided who the target of the experiment will be."

"You don't really think that Tietou's experiences are related to my curse?" Mu Tou's words trembled a little.

Tian Xiaoman nodded and shook his head.

"Little sister, what do you mean?"

"Whether it has anything to do with you or not, we'll know if we do another test."

"What?"

"Third brother, say another curse."

"Who am I talking about?"

Tian Xiaoman thought for a moment and said, "Let's not harm others and blame Brother Tietou."

Mu Tou: Tietou, I can only mourn for you in silence.

So Mu Tou thought about it and said, "Iron Head, I will draw a circle to curse you - you will have nightmares at night."

Unfortunately, the curse of wood did not come true.

The next day, Tian Xiaoman went to talk to Xiaomiao early.

When he came back, his face was gloomy.

"Little sister, did Tietou have a nightmare?"

Tian Xiaoman shook his head. "No, I heard from Xiaomiao that Brother Tietou slept very well last night, and he was even more energetic when he woke up this morning."

Mu Tou thought he also had an extra golden finger, just like his elder brother's ability to predict dreams. Unfortunately, his joy was in vain!

Tian Xiaoman didn't think so. They just hadn't found the trick to the third brother's curse.

Tian Xiaoman had heard from Shi Tou before that Mu Tou cursed the people who kidnapped him to have a miserable death. When Fatty and Skinny Monkey died, he was at the scene. It was no exaggeration to say that they did not die a miserable death when they died.

Could it be that Third Brother’s curse can only work once a day?

So, Tian Xiaoman asked Mu Tou to say another curse.

This curse was also directed at Tietou, and it still cursed Tietou to have nightmares, but the curse still didn't work.

From that day on, every day Tian Xiaoman would ask Mu Tou to say a curse, and only on that day of the next month would Mu Tou's curse come true.

Tian Xiaoman finally found the trick. It turned out that the function of his third brother's crow's mouth was real.

It’s a pity that there is only one day every month, and only once, which is the 18th of every month.

"Third brother, think about it again, has anything unusual happened on the 18th?"

Tian Xiaoman didn't believe that without any inducing genes, such a crow's mouth effect could be achieved.

Mu Tou thought about it again and again, and suddenly realized that the day he went to Pu Du Temple to burn incense at the beginning of the year seemed to be the 18th.

He was tripped by the threshold and seemed to have said something disrespectful to the Bodhisattva. Was this a punishment from the Bodhisattva?

No, how can this be called a punishment?

In his opinion, it was full of rewards.

Of course, Mu Tou's bad mouth also played an important role in what happened to the Tian family later, which was like adding wings to a tiger.
