Chapter 26 Shangzhou Chulu (20)

"No!" said the child, "I don't think it's tiring to cast from below..." "Get out if you're tired!" The two children flattered: "I'm not tired! I'm not tired!" When the stone was thrown to the edge of the pool, he took out a wine bottle from his arms, filled it with yellow explosives, installed the detonator and fuse, covered his mouth with river mud, lit it and threw it into the pool.The children ran back in a hurry, stood far away, lying on the sand and stones, boldly, and walked towards the river... "Boom!" There was an earth-shattering sound, and a water column several tens of feet high rose into the sky. Just as a gust of wind passed by, the fine foam-like drops of water fell obliquely, and we were all wet.Everyone yelled and laughed and rushed to the river. The river was full of turbid waves and foam, but no fish was seen floating upside down.I disappointedly said: "No, cough, not even a small fish." He said: "Don't worry! Only small fish float up, and the big ones go from the bottom of the water!" So we ran downstream to have a look , still nothing.He was very pessimistic, but the children were just as happy, and shouted: "No, not a single one!" "What's going on? This pool is so clean? How can a catty of dynamite make such a noise?" said the ugly man. With that, his face became even uglier.Later, he took out another wine bottle from his arms and threw it into the river. "Do you still want to explode it?" "That's not explosives." "For my wife..." I dared not say the words.But he smiled at me and ran away with the three children.I still don't understand, why does he throw an empty wine bottle every time he goes to the river?Every time the wine bottle was dropped, it didn't sink, so it could be seen that the opening was tightly sealed. Is there anything in it?

Two days later, he was still losing.I decided to check out this secret.At noon on the day I was leaving, I saw him go into the river again, so I went to the embankment downstream to have a look.Sure enough, he dropped another bottle, and I hurried to the river to pick up the bottle that had been washed down.It was a very tightly sealed wine bottle, and there was a note inside. When it was opened, it turned out to be a letter: "My name is Renmin. I live in Fengjiawan, Tumen Commune, Danfeng County. I am 33 years old (actual age). I have no parents, no brothers and sisters. There are three rooms in the house and half a room in the building. There are two buckets of grain. I also have a cellar of taro, and I have accumulated a lot of money. I still have crafts and can catch fish and turtles, but I have no family. If this bottle is picked up by a man, please seal the bottle and put it in the river. The girl picked it up, it is a family, please seal it and put it in the river, it is a girl who has no family, this is our marriage, hope to hear from you. In the days to come, I can support you, I will not Hit you, you can come to our village to settle, I can also recruit, and give birth to a child with your surname. I am waiting for your letter."

Looking at this sincere and interesting courtship letter, I never ridiculed or loathed this ugly fisherman any more.But I am a man and a tourist from another place, so I had to carefully put the letter into the wine bottle, cover it with a cork wrapped in oiled paper, press the iron cover, and gently put it into the river. I stood up and saw from a distance that the suitor was running on the river bank upstream. Did he catch another turtle or a bunch of fish? The most famous bricklayers in Shangzhou, the brothers of the Liu family, were in Jiajiagou.Jiali old man is the most famous of the plasterers in Jiajiagou.The old man is like Confucius in the Warring States Period, with seventy-two disciples and three thousand disciples and grandchildren, all over the seven counties of Shangzhou.Every year on the third day of March, it is the old man’s birthday, and his apprentices and grandchildren will come here. The old man will set up a banquet, and then the disciples and grandchildren of all parties will perform in the field in front of the gate. The wall is built with a single brick, and there is no one to rely on. It depends on who builds the tallest. Can the stake not fall down?Then use irregular rocks to arch the top of the tomb, push the Lujiao up and grind it, and see who can do it without collapsing?Then use an eight-pound sledgehammer to hammer it down, and see who can hit a big stone out of the line, like a knife?This kind of performance lasted for several days and nights, and the crowds gathered around it like watching a play. The wonderful ones would be applauded, but the clumsy ones would be booed.Therefore, the qualified ones will enter the banquet with the master hand in hand, and the eliminated ones will go back where they came from. The birthday gifts they bring will not be charged, and the banquets will not be given.

The Jiali old man's surname is not Jia, nor is he originally from Jiajiagou.He never revealed his origin to anyone in his life.The people in Jiajiagou remember that during the time when Guangdong long-haired bandits were running away, three mothers and three sons came to the village one day. Lili, the eldest is Liu Jiali, and the second is Liu Jialie.When the mother and son lived in Laoye Temple, they worked as part-time workers for a living.Because they have no skills, they have to make adobe, and they can make a base of adobe when they see the sky, or they can pull a big saw for others, and untie six boards a day for a log as thick as two people.After three years, Liu Jialie couldn't bear the hardships, and he started to idle around in the four townships, and he became addicted to gambling, but his luck was not good, and he lost his family's savings. Noisy during meals.Jiali thought his mother's rice was thick, and Jialie thought his mother's rice was thin. When his mother scolded him, he threw the bowl in front of his mother, hit his head against the wall, and roared like a cow.Afterwards, he often gambled with people on the wheat field, kicking his ass.He is well fat, with two broken parts in the middle of his left eyebrow, known as the broken knife eyebrow. Every time he strips off his coat, revealing the black hair that grows from the neck down to the navel, he squats down, kicks his buttocks, weighs seven or eight hundred pounds. The stone roller suddenly stood upright.Then I went to beg for money from the losers, there were five yuan, there were seven yuan, a lot of money, if you turned your face, the eyebrows of the broken sword would suddenly fly, and you would often hug the opponent's thigh and hold it with your hands. People's genitals... slowly doing evil in the village and becoming a pest in this area.Jiajiagou once planned to drive the Liu family out of the village, but no one dared to take the lead until the second child in the front yard of the Jia family rebuilt a house because of his brother's rebellion. The old village refused to sell it to his brother, so the Liu family took the opportunity After buying a house, I have become a family in Jiajiagou in a serious manner.

In the twenty-three years of the Republic of China, "Golden Dog, Silver Lion, and Sika Deer" appeared in the local area. These are the three big bandit leaders: the Golden Dog has a red bald scar, the Silver Lion has white hair, and the Sika Deer , Health a whole body psoriasis.The three bandit leaders each have a dozen "made in Hanyang" and dozens of furry soldiers. When the "long-haired thief" comes, they join forces to fight against each other. The local government collects rent and taxes, and the town office twenty miles away from Jiajiagou has no choice but to arrest them openly and collaborate secretly.The land has been restless for ten or twenty years. Often in the middle of the night, when gunshots sounded, the villagers with their old and young children abandoned their homes and fled. Jiali's mother and son also ran away a few times. Said that the family wanted food but no food, money but no money, and was afraid of someone, so he did not leave during a burglar run.Unexpectedly, the golden dog led the bandits into the village, captured a woman to Laoye Temple, tied her hands to a stool and raped her, so frightened that Jialie, who was hiding on the temple beam, fell down, the golden dog looked at him, but He didn't hit him, but instead asked him if he wanted to join the gang, and asked him to fuck that woman once more, saying that he wanted to join the gang, and met at Leilei Stone in Nanshan three days later, so he wouldn't worry about not having a girl with yellow flowers in the future.
