Not long ago, when I returned to my hometown during the Spring Festival, I heard unbearable news: I had passed away. This news made many memories of him flood my mind, and my thoughts flowed. In retrospect, the fool was already in his fifties, and he had a slender figure and a thin physique, and even if he wore neat clothes, he would be contaminated with dust within half a year. According to the villagers, the fool had an incurable disease, and his departure was a relief. However, the fool was not born with a lack of intelligence. According to his parents' accounts, the fool was a smart, well-behaved child with a beautiful face at the age of five or six. However, an accident completely changed his fate, leaving him with a lifelong disability and brain effects, resulting in a mental retardation. At that time, the foolish father took him to the cattle market, but an accident happened. This livestock market was an important motivator for farmers to plow the land and drive**, and it can be said to be the precursor to today's tractors. There are various kinds of livestock in the market, such as horsesMules, donkeys and cows, etc. Farmers often go to the heart of this "livestock economy" to ask for information. But on that day, the fool's father did not pay attention to his whereabouts, and he was killed by oneMulesSuddenly kicked in the back, the whole person was kicked several meters away, and he fell unconscious to the ground. I didn't delve into exactly how the compensation was made at that time, but what is certain is that from that moment on, the fool lost the intelligence of a normal person, and his spine became crooked, and he limped when he walked. The fool never went to school after his intellectual impairment, and his childhood was filled with wandering around the village. Maybe because his grandmother's family lives in the village and has many relatives, few people bully him. When he grew up, the fool became the must-attend person for almost every happy event in the village. As soon as he arrived at the scene, he would squat at the gate of the main house and start chatting with the villagers and saying something that was indisputable. As soon as the master saw the fool, he would give him some wine and meat, and tell him to leave quickly;If you run into an ignorant master, the fool will start swearing, and the master will have to continue to serve him in order to avoid trouble. Therefore, the people in the village think that fools are not stupid. Of course, fools do stupid things. Once, when his second uncle had a treat, he saw a fool walk in, so he gave him a fewBraised chicken feetSend him home. The fool stuffed the chicken feet in his mouth and praised the deliciousness of the chicken feet. However, after eating chicken feet at home, the problem came. He went into the kitchen, picked up a kitchen knife, and chopped off all the paws of a dozen egg-laying hens raised by his grandmother. When my grandmother came home and saw this scene, she was half angry. Fools love to be lively and often go to the bazaars of nearby villages. His favorite place is to sellBraised porkstalls and livestock markets. The reason why I like to sellBraised porkThe stall is accompanied by the smell of meat. Every time he goesBraised porkAt the stall, I will always ask the meat seller: "Is your meat smelly?"With just this sentence, he could ask questions repeatedly for ten minutes, or even a whole day, and even if the meat seller went home after closing, he would follow him all the way, just to chase the smell of meat. One winter, the fool followed and soldBraised porkreally picked up a piece weighing more than a dozen poundsBraised beef。In those days, we often see fools biting greasy overflowingBraised beefThere is a sound of chewing in the village. Of course, fools also like to go to the cattle market, which may have been instigated by someone to go. In accordance withCommon senseThe fool should not dare to go to the cattle market anymore, but he prefers to steal those animals that hang around their necksBells。ThoseBellsIt is generally made of copper, when the animals are travelingBellsThe jingle sound is like the horn of a modern car. After the fool sneaks into the market, he will choose the one he likesBells, taking advantage of the owner's inattention, grab the small hammer with his left hand so as not to make a sound, and rotate with his right handBells, unscrew the wire of the hanging bell, and then willBellsSlipped into his arms and quietly left. Fool once you get itBells, they will ask the people in the village to exchange some wine and meat to enjoy. It can be seen that fools are not born **, but are led astray. The fool's grandmother's house was our own family, and every time I went back to the village, the fool would always ask me, "Brother, have you come back from school?""But nowadays, I don't hear a fool say that anymore.
Each village has a unique iconic character, and in our village, that distinctive character is the fool. His passing has brought a sense of loss and nostalgia to the village, and it has also brought back a series of memories of his special existence.
The fool was not tall in appearance, but he was slender and lean, and walked with a limp all day long. His clothes, no matter how carefully they are washed, will become dirty within half a year. His mental retardation was not born, but occurred at the age of five or sixAccidents, resulting in his lifelong disability, and his intelligence was also affected to a certain extent.
When the fool was a child, he followed his father to the cattle market and had an accident. At that time, the livestock market was the main driving force for farmers to farm and drive**, the equivalent of today's tractors. The fool's father did not pay attention to his whereabouts, and as a result he was taken by oneMulesSuddenly kicked in the back, flew several meters away, and lost consciousness. This accident caused the fool to become crooked and walk with a limp.
After the fool became intellectually insufficient, he did not have the opportunity to go to school, and he often wandered aimlessly in the village. Because his grandmother's family is also in the village and has many relatives, few people bully him. As an adult, he became the first attendance of almost every happy event in the village. He squatted at the door of his master's house, chatting and chatting with the villagers, saying things that had nothing to do with the world. When the master sees the fool, he usually gives him some wine and meat and tells him to go away;If you meet someone who is not sensible, the fool will start swearing and start cursing, and the master can only continue to entertain people as a last resort. Therefore, the people of the village think that fools are not stupid.
Fools have done some stupid things. Once, his second uncle had a treat and gave a few to the foolBraised chicken feetLet him go home. The fool praised the chicken feet along the way, but when he got home, he chopped off all the claws of the dozens of egg-laying hens raised by his grandmother, which made his grandmother half angry.

The death of the fool makes me feel sorry and nostalgic, and his life is full of twists and turns and misfortunes. Perhaps, in another time and space, if there is no oneAccidents, the life of a fool will be a different scene. But in any case, the fool left us rightHumanityKindness and ** thinking and vigilance.
