Yu Jihui: “A Stinking Old Ninth – A Tale of the Coal Capital” (updated on July 2020)

Autumn of 1968, about one month after I became a

sports teacher in the school. The night had not yet

fallen. I walked into the wood and it was very calm

and full of fresh air. Just as I was enjoying the

beautiful sights and the fresh air, I heard a rustling

from the meadowland. I got close to see what it was

and was stupefied when I saw a man and a woman

rolling there. The man was Dwarf while the woman

was Elephant. They saw me too. They were stupefied

too and stopped and fixed their eyes on me. It was a

very embarrassing moment. I quickly ran away. But

since then, I knew sooner or later that I would be in

trouble.

When Black Peony and her husband took their

seat, Dwarf asked, “Please tell me why you quarrel.”

“She has done it with Soapy!”
