Chapter 2 Chapter two

one In the three stone slab houses, the light is getting darker and darker, Yunyun is burning wormwood and firewood at the stove, Huo is always laughing, ho ho ho ho, Yun Yun is crazy.Touching her cheek with her hand, it still felt a little itchy, so she cursed: "Cruel!" Grandma heard it on the kang, and asked, "Yunyun's mouth is a knife, who are you scolding?" Yunyun hurriedly said, "I didn't scold anyone. Listen to me wrong! Then the fire went out, the red light disappeared on the wall, the yellow smoke covered the room, and the milk choked and coughed. Yun Yun said: "Grandma, there is no wind outside, I will carry you to the door to sit down . "As he said that, he recited it, let grandma lie on her side on the recliner, and beat her back and back.

Grandma is seventy-four years old. "Seventy-three, eighty-four, the King of Hades called to discuss matters." In the past year, the hearts of the family were in their hands.But she came here just now, and she has a very good appetite. She laughed and said that Yunyun's mother had a short life and died before she was sixty, and that Yunyun's father was not as good as her in eating.Yun Yun once said: "When one is old, one can live on a bowl of rice, and grandma can live to a hundred years old!" She loves to listen to such flattery, and she is also very self-reliant. She teaches Yun Yun spinning, weaving, paper-cutting and flower tying at home, and she is fine. , Just press and hold Yun Yun to listen to her.Yunyun is most afraid of her talking, sometimes it is the sky, and sometimes it is underground, talking about the living, and suddenly it is about the dead, she can't distinguish between the yang and the underworld, and also confuses reality and dreams. , and creepy again.Now I was lying quietly on the recliner, and said: "The meal is ready?" Yunyun said: "The noodles are cut on the table, and the water is boiling. When my father and brother come back, I will cook it." Make more meals, your mother is coming back. Last night, she came back, sat by the stove, and told me about your marriage. Alas, people say that it is difficult to marry a daughter-in-law, and it is even more difficult to marry a daughter! Do you know if the man's house is a Fujiao or a fire pit? The sun has set, and your father should be back, so go and make tea." Yun Yun felt nervous when he heard that, and went into the house to light the oil lamp, but instead of making tea, he poured He took the comb to scrape the lice from milk's head.The grandma said, "Oh, I can't walk in front of people. I wash my head, but there are lice! You go and pinch some powder on your head, and the lice will die." Yun Yun said, "When you get old, you should Isn’t the scalp sweet? The medicine powder still doesn’t sting the nipples sore!” The grandma laughed, grabbed the comb and said, “If you want to shave, I’ll shave it. Go and make tea, your father will scold you again when he comes back!”

A voice came from behind the thousand-branched cypresses in the courtyard: "I'm a tiger now?!" Yunyun stuck out his tongue and said, "Father is really back!" Busily picked up the teapot, father walked in front of the door.Father is a barber, and he went to the gathering in Qili Town. He carried a long pole with a washbasin stand on one end, a copper washbasin with a broken edge on it, and a mud stove on the other end. Shunzi was hanging on the shoulder pole.As soon as she put down the pole, the old mother sat down, took out a roll of castor leaves from her arms, and handed it an oil cake, saying: "I bought it in the town. It's soft. Mom, eat it quickly. As soon as I leave , your grandmother and grandson sent me out! I beat and scolded me once about the matchmaker, and you let Yun Yun say, what am I doing too much?"

Yun Yun boiled the teapot on the stove, and said back, "If Dad is good, he should go to the boss's mine to dig ore!" The barber said: "Is this another idea that the boss asked you?" Yun Yun said: "Boss is strengthening the hole he dug, so that everyone should not dig it indiscriminately. First, it will damage the minerals, and second, it is not safe. He has already cut down the trees in the grave for support. Why don't you join in to help?" What about him?" The barber fell silent and sharpened his razor on the whetstone. After sharpening it for a while, he tried it with his finger. He picked out a random hair and blew it on the blade, and it broke.Yun Yun brought out the tea pot, poured a yellowish juice into the bowl, handed it to Dad with both hands, and said, "Father is reluctant to part with the money again!" The barber didn't look at his daughter, drank the tea in one gulp, and said to his mother: "Where do I have money? My daughter has grown up, and I haven't got any money yet, so I want to use the money to help the grave?" Yunyun said: "This is for dad to make a lot of money, not for dad to throw money into the river. put down!"

Dad said: "In life, who doesn't like to worry about money? But money shouldn't be there, so don't force it. Mr. Zhang Congling is Congling. His parents passed away early. I watched him grow up. No father and no mother, their brothers are less disciplined, their hearts are too wild! You can also see that he made money from mining, so what about his popularity?" Yunyun said: "If you have no money, you are called poor, but if you have a lump of gold, you will be a rubbish!" Dad uttered a harsh voice: "What did you say? Say it again!" Yunyun continued to say, and the milk on the recliner was chewing oil cake wrigglingly, and stared at her.Yunyun put his father's undershirt in the basin and rubbed it, making a loud noise, and the water splashed all over the floor, and his father said, "If you don't want to wash it, then don't wash it, the clothes can withstand your rubbing like that!" Finally, grandma swallowed After finishing the oil cake in his mouth, he said: "Yunyun, don't wait for your brother and third child, let's go down, your mother has come early, waiting for dinner, are you looking for your mother to scold you too?" Yunyun said, " Grandma made a mistake again!" He went into the house to light the fire, and accidentally knocked down a bowl.Dad said

"Humph!" Yunyun replied, "It was the cat that knocked it over!" Kicking the cat out of the house, the cat was so wronged that it jumped over the fence and disappeared. Yun Yun offered a bowl of dry noodles in front of her mother's spirit tablet, and then brought another bowl to her father, saying, "Eat!" Her father thought her words were aggressive and didn't take the bowl, so Yun Yun put the rice bowl on the whetstone in front of her father.At this time, my brother Guangda came back.With a big square head and big cheeks, he was carrying a shotgun with four hares hanging from the end of the gun.As soon as I sat down, I took off the pair of yellow rubber shoes on my feet, and asked my father, "Buy me back the gun ammunition?" My father said, "I didn't buy it!" Guangda said, "Why didn't I buy it?" My father said: "The price of gun ammunition has gone up. I shave my head for noon, but it's not enough to buy you a tube of medicine. Damn it, the price of everything in the public house has gone up. It's still 20 cents to shave a head! You

Don’t be crazy for a day, what kind of mink you raise, let alone how much you can earn in the future; how many rabbits can you get? How many shots do you have to shoot a rabbit? How much medicine does one shot get?” Guangda looked unhappy. Said: "If you don't buy it, don't tell me to buy it for me.Don't worry about the mink being raised or not.Even if you don’t raise minks, I still want to release this gun!” Dad said: “You are rich, you have money!” Guangtai said: “I didn’t have money, and I didn’t spend your haircut money!” Dad said loudly Throwing the rice bowl on the ground, he said, "Okay, I won't spend my money, as long as you use your money to bring back your wife, I'll kneel down and kowtow to you!"

The grandma got angry and said: "The anger is so big, do you want to eat one? Look at that star, that star is your grandfather. Your grandfather is listed as a fairy in the sky. Why doesn't he come back? He just takes Take a close look at our family! Either our life is not as good as that of the boss of the Zhang family. We quarrel all day long, and the quarrels can fill our stomachs, so you go to the top of Tianfeng to quarrel!" Yunyun hurriedly handed the noodles to grandma to occupy her mouth; then she took a piece of vegetable from the vegetable urn and stewed it in the noodle pot, put a bowl of noodles and vegetables for brother, and put the other bowl on the top of the pot Save it for my brother.The family sucked up the noodles loudly, and Guangda made a crunchy sound when he chewed the sauerkraut.

After the meal, the moon also came out, but the third child has not come back yet.Grandma asked, "Where did Guangxiao go?" Yunyun said, "I was herding sheep in the valley at noon, and saw him go to the Hubei side." Father said, "Going to play money again! The feng shui in our grave has failed. There are some crooked things in the younger generation, maybe one day he will do something wrong here!" The grandma said: "He won't come back, and he won't wait, don't talk, I have something to tell you, the family sits and discusses it. Discuss." Guangda didn't sit down, but used a knife to cut open the hare.The rabbit's head was peeled off, and the rope was tied around the neck and hung on the door latch to pull the skin down. The skinned rabbit was naked and frightening.The milk would not let him peel it off, so he said, "Tell me what to do, I'm listening!"

Grandma said: "I don't even know about this. Early this morning, Jilin's mother came to me and your father and told me that she came to find a home for Yun Yun. The male college will marry and the female college will marry. Yunyun is also here." It's time. I came to our house when I was sixteen, and your mother was eighteen when she passed the family. Get married early and have children, and the baby relay will be picked up early..." Guangda took the knife out of his mouth, and with bloody hands, he asked, "Where is the home you are looking for?" Dad said, "It's the boss of the Zhang family."

Guangda said: "Father and grandma agreed?" The grandma said: "Everyone in my class has passed away. I wiped the body and wore the shrouds for everyone and sent them away. Which of these dolls in the village was not connected by my umbilical cord? The second child When I gave birth, my mother’s water broke for a long time, but I couldn’t give birth. I tore it off with my hands. The second child is a double spin, with two fingers wide between the spin and the spin. I just said that this baby will be successful in the future. Last night, his father and his mother came and agreed to this marriage with all their mouths. Do we still disagree? Guangda, what I mean by giving you Heguang novel is to let You know it. The matchmaker said that if you choose an auspicious day, the boss of the Zhang family will set up a banquet and invite the three aunts and eight uncles to eat, and a marriage will be formally booked." Guangda was silent, and pulled a dead hare to peel it.Under the moonlight, a row of door bolts were hung, which made people unbearable to watch.The aggrieved cat ran away without face, and ran back after smelling the smell of meat, barking loudly. Grandma said: "Guangda, why don't you talk, your tongue is gone?" Listen quietly and peek at everyone's faces.There was silence, and she felt lice all over her body.After hearing what my brother said, I couldn't hold back my breath anymore, and said, "How much do you think your sister can sell?" The words were extremely unpleasant.The grandma scolded: "Yunyun, what did you say? We didn't open our mouths to him. If he gave three hundred and four hundred, he still didn't pay a penny. That's his Zhang family's business." Everbright said: "The grandma is here. , Dad is here, let me say something, I don’t care if Yun Yun marries or not, we can’t let outsiders make fun of us when we do things.” When Dad heard this, he became angry and said, “What are you joking about?” Guangda said: “Yun Yun is five years younger than me. What would others think of me?" Yunyun stood up and said: "Oh, you are thinking about your business! Cars go on the road, horses go on the road, who is in the way?" Guangda said: "In our place, I have never heard of anyone who is so cheap." Marrying a daughter-in-law, you are being generous, who will be being generous to our family?" Yunyun said: "You can't find anyone, do you want me to earn money for you? The more you think like this, the more I don't want a cent of that money! "Guangda's face was completely torn, and he jumped up and said: "If he doesn't pay, this will not happen! My father and mother gave birth to three brothers and sisters, not just you!" Yunyun said: "I was born, I am Has the family property been divided? All these years, those with eye sockets can see my efforts for this family! When it’s time for me to leave, why do I still have to be so strict?!” Then he burst into tears. Nai was trembling with anger, and scolded: "Yunyun, are you crying?" A mouthful of phlegm welled up, but he couldn't cough up, and he huddled up on the recliner, Yun Yun ran over and shouted, "Grandma! Grandma!" Grandma just rolled her eyes .Yun Yun rushed over to grab Guangda's face, and Guangda slapped Yun Yun back.Grandma stretched her legs, her eyes widened.Daddy roared like crazy: "Hit! Hit! You are so angry!" The brothers and sisters ran over again, screaming for milk, and sucked fiercely at the mouth of the milk, sucking out a mouthful of phlegm.Grandma breathed in slowly again, but Guangda put on his shirt and went out, his face like a black cloud. Yunyun rubbed her heart for her grandma, poured boiling water, and then poured it into her arms, calling out "Grandma!" and crying mother.But the barber didn't make any more noise, and just sat there dumbfounded.The night was deep, and the village was as quiet as death. Someone's parents were calling their sleeping children to get up and pee.Eight times out of ten, he shouted no, so he began to curse, and slapped the son who couldn't wake up.Grandma feebly mixed up the living and the dead, sometimes calling Yunyun's mother, sometimes calling Yunyun's father, Yunyun watched the beating of the wick that had almost run out of oil, feeling dark and terrified in his heart.Later, the lights went out, and Dad was still sitting stay still.The cigarette pot head flickered on and off, as if some wild animal was blinking. two At dawn, Yun Yun got off the kang with red and swollen eyes, and was about to sit on the steps to comb her hair, but her father was already sitting there, and then Guangda and Guangxiao who came back in the middle of the night also sat down, and then grandma.The whole family was glued to their brows, half awake, sitting on the blue light stones on the steps, you looked at me, I looked at you, and then no one looked at the castle on the four peaks, with expressions on their faces. Mumu.This is a typical picture of villagers getting up.Half an hour passed, a dog barked loudly at the bend of the river, followed by a group of dogs chasing after him, and the valley gradually woke up.Guangda stood up first, put the shotgun on his back and left.Then came Guangxiao, and then the barber.No one knew where anyone was going, and no one asked anyone. Nai and Yunyun sat on the long steps like wooden chickens, and the yard seemed empty. The barber was washing his face in the river, patting his forehead with water in his hand.In this family, he caused every conflict and dispute, and every ending was his long silence.At night, he hated Guangda for being unreasonable, but at the same time he pitied Guangda.A son at this age who has no family, beating and scolding Yun Yun is actually beating and scolding him as a father! The barber deeply felt the shame of being a father.He didn't sleep well all night, and he was thinking of a way out. His mother asked him, but he didn't tell him that he would never drag down the old man with the things that should be borne by him. After washing his face, he went to Jilin's house, and told Jilin's mother about the family affairs at night without any shyness, and even exaggerated. Niang Jilin spit on the palm of her hand, wiped it on her messy hair, combed it with a comb, and asked, "What do you mean, barber!" The barber was silent.Niang Jilin said: "Isn't it so easy for you to shave your head?" The barber bluffed: "My knife can cut off a person's head!" Niang Jilin shouted: "I see, do you want money? You said it clearly How much do you want? What dowry do you want? Liu Liushun’s daughter has a gorilla nose, and when she got married, it was said that the man gave him a birthday coffin.” The barber said: “I think so, so there is this brother, and so does the boss. There is a girl, and the four of them are all pleasing to the eye, if you like, it will save you a lot of money." Niang Jilin combed out a lice, looked on her finger, threw it away, and said in surprise: "Swap marriage?" the barber said, "it's not against the law of the country. There are many in the mountains." Ji Linniang fell silent, and after being bored for a long time, she moved her left finger to calculate Li Chunfeng's six Ren hours, Da'an, Liulian, Suxi, Chikou, Xiaoji, and Kongzhi tossed and turned several times before raising their heads and said: "It's a good thing, but the boss's sister is tender, do you think your family is bright?" This was what the barber was most worried about, his face was pale, and then he smiled bitterly and said, "You are a matchmaker!" He stretched out his right arm, and stretched his sleeves hard, and Niang Jilin's hand came over, Two hands pinched the size in the sleeves, and two pairs of eyes stared at each other meticulously.After such economic negotiations, Niang Jilin's shriveled face became wrinkled, and the barber got up and left. Behind him, Niang Jilin yelled loudly: "Uncle, why don't you sit down? I'll boil a pot for us." Run 'drink!" When Niang Jilin stumbled and ran to the mine, she called out the muddy boss, who sat softly on the ridge as soon as he came out of the cave, breathing heavily.Niang Jilin just laughed at what kind of life he lived, people are not people and ghosts are not ghosts.The boss smiled at her and asked her what it was. I heard someone tell me about the coal mine in Tongguan, where each shift was at the right time, and the hemp rope was tied to the basket to hang it down. It crawls like a four-legged beast.After leaving the cave, except for the eyeballs that can move, who can tell whether it is a person or a ghost? The family members stood at the entrance of the cave, and they cried indistinctly when they met, as if reincarnated from the underworld.Niang Jilin said, "It's true that I only see thieves eating, but I don't know that thieves are being beaten! Boss, I have something to do with you!" Said: "You always take it to the bar, I'm busy with a hole frame, and I don't have much money with me, don't think it's too little!" Ji Linniang took the money, but said: "The barber changed his words, He doesn't agree to the marriage. If you want to marry Yunyun, he must marry Xiaomei!" The boss was shocked, speechless, with a menacing look.Niang Jilin hurriedly changed her words and scolded the barber, saying that he was blind and blind, what kind of thing is Guangda, he dares to marry Xiaomei, a bull gnaws cabbage hearts! The boss slowly sat down against the ridge again, the ridge The dirt on the bed flowed down his neck, and his face was black and blue. When Ji Linniang scolded her, she said: "Auntie, don't scold me, let me think about it. You go back first, and I will give it to you." You're going to talk back." The boss went back to the mine, walked down the mine obliquely for a while, and went straight on the flat road. There was a stick of wax inside, the core light was like a bean, and a few bats were flying in the dim light.He stood still for half a day before he could clearly see the mess of logs under his feet.Carrying a stick to move forward, but always knocked against the wall of the cave, and staggered, the wood fell out and knocked out the candle.The sound was transmitted to the bottom of the cave, and bounced out again, buzzing and muffled.The boss fell to the ground, but he didn't get up immediately, enduring the physical pain, and his heart was in a mess.He didn't know how to tell his sister what the matchmaker said. She was still young and had a docile temperament, so how could she be interested in Guangda? My sister would not agree.Even if the younger sister agrees, he, the big brother, is not happy about it! However, the barber is a person with a strong heart, and he must follow his words. If the younger sister does not marry Guangda, then can Yunyun marry him? It happened neither early nor late, but it happened when he was mobilizing the villagers to mine here. It was the first time he scolded the barber as an "old thing"! Boss Zhang staggered back, and as soon as he entered the house, he took out the wine from the cabinet to drink.Xiaomei had just finished washing her clothes, and she hugged and teased the cat by herself.An eighteen-year-old girl, she looks very handsome.She often dreams at night, and the dreams are colorful. When she wakes up, she wants to tell others about her dreams, but her two elder brothers are snoring like thunder. She is secretly sad and feels the pain of having no parents.When I hold the cat in my arms, the cat is gentle and restless, scratching with both paws in my arms, and occasionally scratching the chest, I feel an indescribable itching.Later, she poked a finger out of her clothes, stretched and retracted, and the cat kept scratching at the mysterious thing.As soon as the eldest brother entered the room, she blushed and said, "The eldest brother is back!" The eldest brother didn't speak, just took the wine and drank it.She knew that her brother liked to drink, and when she came back from mining every day, when she was exhausted, she drank a few cups to relieve fatigue, then she got up and said, "I'll scramble some eggs!" When the scrambled eggs were served, Xiaomei panicked. The boss had already drank half of the bottle of white wine, and was still holding the bottle to pour it into his mouth.She asked: "Brother, what's the matter with you?" The boss didn't speak.Xiaomei snatched the bottle, scooped a bowl of syrup in the jar to force her elder brother to drink, and asked cautiously, "Are you arguing with me, Sister Yunyun?" The elder shook his head with straight eyes.Xiaomei said again: "Is that the popularity of Shengcun? If these people are not good enough, it's fine. There are so many people in the world, can you take care of them?" The boss still shook his head.Xiaomei stood there at a loss as to what to do, tears streaming down her cheeks: "Brother, what's going on? It's in our house. Why don't you tell me?" The boss looked at his younger sister, bit his lower lip hard, and said, "Xiaomei, don't ask, go ahead! I want to sleep, let me sleep well." Got up and went into his own bed. house, the door is closed. Xiaomei couldn't catch anything, and became more and more flustered, so she went out to ask the villagers what happened? Some guys in the village, as soon as they saw Xiaomei, they would talk to her without salt or vinegar. She was so annoyed by these things People, just look at the past and ignore it.When she walked to the river, she saw Niang Jilin and her second child talking there, she was about to call out, but Niang Jilin turned around and left, and her second brother was still standing there in a daze, calling him a few times without making a sound.Xiaomei went over and shouted: "Second brother, you lost your soul!" The second child was startled, and asked anxiously, "Xiaomei, why are you here? Did you see brother?" Xiaomei said, "Brother is drinking at home, drinking Half drunk. "The second child scolded: "Why did Sister Yunyun entrust her to be born in that family!Xiaomei said: "Second brother, what are you talking about? Is the Sun family going to divorce?" The second child realized that he had slipped his tongue, and hurriedly said, "Nothing, nothing." Xiaomei saw something strange and said, "There must be something wrong. What's the matter, the eldest brother won't tell me, and you won't tell me? Well, you don't tell me, I will tell the elder brother about you and Guangxiao going to gamble!" The second child said: "Xiaomei, say yes to this matter. As you said, the final decision has not yet been made, so let it go if you think it’s okay, if you don’t think it’s not, let’s discuss it with my brother.” Xiaomei turned pale and asked, “What’s the matter?” The second child repeated what Ji Linniang said just now, and Xiaomei immediately Limp on the ground.The old man was at a loss, when he was about to pull her.But Xiaomei jumped up, covered her face and ran back crying. three As soon as Xiaomei cried, the second child became more and more annoyed, and wanted to go to Sun's house to reason, and went to the candlestick bee.It happened that I came across Guangxiao.As soon as Guangxiao saw the second child, he quickly called out, "Second child, are you going?" As he spoke, two dice flashed out of his palm.The second child grabbed Guangxiao by the neckline and punched him lying on the ground.Guang Xiaoxiao: "Second brother, how can I be disloyal? I owe you money, or did I cheat behind your back?" The second child cursed: "Your Sun family is not a good person!" Guang Xiaoxiao: "You scolded Sun We are not human, but Yunyun is your sister-in-law!" The second child said: "She is a fart, she is my sister-in-law?" Guang Novel: "Okay, if you have the ability to scold in front of your brother! "The second child said: "Your Yunyun cheated my brother!" Guangxiao got up and asked: "Second brother, you can scold me, but I don't care if you want to scold my sister! How did Yunyun cheat your brother? Are you popular? You have to make it clear!" The second child asked about the marriage change, and he also heard from his father in the light novel, so he said: "This is a good thing, isn't our two families getting closer?" The old man Two said: "Fart! How big is Guangda in your house, how old is Xiaomei?" Guangxiao choked, speechless. The second child left Guang Xiao to go, Guang Xiao asked: "Second, where are you going?" I want to find a bad guy!" Guang Xiaoxiao: "You look for my father, what can my father do? My brother can't find a wife, so you let him be a bachelor for the rest of his life? What's the difference in age? Do you think it's too small for a fifteen or six? Find you a twenty-eight or nine, do you think it's too big?" The second child stood there motionless, out of breath. Guangxiao said again: "You go and beat my father! Comparing your heart, your father is alive, your sister will marry someone else, and your brother will not be able to find her, and your father will change relatives! Who is to blame? It is the fault of being born in this poor The place is gone, blame us for being blind!" The second child turned around, looked at Guangxiao, and suddenly waved his fist and said, "When Xiaomei heard about this, she cried. We have no father or mother. My sister is crying like this, what should I do!" Guang Xiao took advantage of the situation and said: "I think you should tell Xiaomei more about this matter, and if it can be fulfilled, it will be fulfilled. The two of us are young, and if we can't find a daughter-in-law, we can't find a wife, but we can't both be extinct! The difference is big, as long as they are in harmony, my elder brother belongs to tiger, what does Xiaomei belong to?" The second child said: "It belongs to chicken." Guang Novel: "Let's ask him to ask for a long time, let him push and see if they are compatible ?” The two of them went to Candlestick Peak, followed the path beside the terraced fields to the bottom of the peak, There lived Niu Mozi.Niu Mozi’s house used to have three slate rooms, but a kitchen was added to the front left wing, and a sleeping room was added to the right wing. The whole building was shaped like a crutch.Castanopsis trees and green maple trees are planted in front of the gate and behind the house, which is gloomy, and a path behind the fence leads directly to a cemetery, where eight generations of ancestors of the Niu family are buried.Niu Mozi was the captain in the early days, and there was an iron pipe hanging on the bent-necked castan tree in front of the door.At three o'clock a day, he rings here to start work.Now the land is contracted, and the team is classified as a village.If the village chief is not him, the iron pipe has never been struck again.He The large scale of the excess grain, which was high and low, was also distributed to the Zhang family.Niu Mozi can no longer copy his hands and go to other houses to eat at will, and the crops in the field are often half as good as others.As a result, he was depressed, suffering from liver disease, and his face was as pale as yellow paper.The second child and Guang Xiao had just turned around the castano grove, when the lackeys of the Niu family suddenly jumped out and bit them violently. The second child said, "This stray dog, whose master has fallen, is so vicious!" A stone hit the dog and the dog limped back up. On this day, Niu Mozi invited his family members to continue the genealogy at home.After the incense table was set up, three kowtows and six worships were made to the ancestors, water and wine were sacrificed, and then a piece of loess cloth hidden in a porcelain jar was brought out.The men, women and eldest sons and second sons of each family who have not been registered are listed one by one, and then Niu Mozi writes to formulate a name for the next generation.Niu Mozi was saying: "Among the family members? Although there are not many people in our Niu family in the village, there have been heroes and warriors in the past few generations! Look, there is a Juren in the last three generations, and the last two generations There is a county patrol here, and I have been the team leader for several years: Zhang’s family is now in a bad mood, hmph, what kind of role were they in those years, they were so poor that their bare legs beat the edge of the kang! Well, he took advantage of the country's air to break out. Can you see that his Zhang family is going to buy a villager now, but can God forgive him? White musk came out of the mountains!" As soon as the dog bit him, Niu Mozi scolded: "Who is beating the dog? I don't even look at whose dog it is!" He came out viciously, and when he saw the second child and Guangxiao standing in front of the door, Niu Mozi's face immediately became lively. ．Said: "It's the two of you! Why didn't you dig mines? Are you going up the mountain? Are you going to ask if there is any musk deer? Many people have gone to the mountain to ask for the Nine Immortal Tree. They say that the white musk deer is a disaster! What a strange thing. The second daughter-in-law of the Liu family insisted on digging a few days ago. When she was resting, she suddenly saw a woman in white clothes and wondered: Why didn’t she recognize this woman? When she turned around and looked again, she was gone. Later Digging again, the hole collapsed, and one arm was broken. It’s really strange, could it be that this woman in white was transformed from musk? How many years have there been no monsters like this?” The second child muttered to himself, thinking of the musk hair he saw, but he didn't say anything, but made a sarcastic remark: "This musk may be a disaster. Once it comes, you won't be the captain. !" After all, without looking back, he pulled Guangxiao up the mountain.The road on the mountain is hidden in the castanopsis forest, one after another stone steps hang down like chains, and colorful grass snakes scurry along the road from time to time.Guangxiao picked up a stone and threw it at it, but he killed one on the stone. The second child said, "I heard that someone in the south put up a notice in the town to accept this snake!" ?The money in the world is earned without effort, and earned without effort. The night before yesterday I asked you to go to Hubei, and if you don’t go, I will get these again.” Stretched out two fingers and waved in front of his eyes.The second child said: "I'm afraid my brother will know, so he asked me to help him cut down trees and set up scaffolds!" Guang Novel: "When your brother is bold, he is bold, and when he is timid, he is timid. He peels off his skin." The meat has been dried for more than ten days, is it better than us for one night?" The second child said: "I'm not lucky." Guang Xiaoxiao: "You are too honest!" Whispered in the ear of the second child, the second child went straight Cursed: "It's too sinful, God will punish you to be a bachelor for the rest of your life!" Guangxiao said: "Hello, why are you also a bachelor?" While speaking, I reached the top of the mountain. The mountain looks like a knife cut. Not far away is the main peak platform, but the road suddenly falls with the main peak platform and falls halfway, and then climbs up one by one.The two met a little Taoist priest carrying water from the back mountain at the entrance of the castle gate.Guangxiao immediately shouted: "Little master, go fetch water!" The little Taoist smiled foolishly.The second child said again: "Which girl did you meet again?" The little Taoist said: "Don't talk nonsense, monks don't talk about this!" Guang Xiao said again: "If a woman came to your room in the middle of the night, would you be so serious? But the little Taoist was not miserable, and said to himself: "Where is such a good thing, unless it is transformed by the white musk spirit!" The second child listened.His heart beat wildly, and he thought to himself: The Taoist also thinks that the white musk deer has become a spirit? Immediately he asked seriously, "Is the Taoist priest here?" The little Taoist replied: "Yes." The two of them entered the gate of the fort. The Taoist courtyard is very clean, the ground paved with stone strips, a kind of grass grows in the gaps between the strips, very green, the courtyard seems to have a well-proportioned pattern.The Nine Immortals tree is standing upright, the trunk has been stroked by the pilgrims' hands so that it is oily and shiny, and it looks faintly lacquered. There are a few pieces of red cloth hanging on the branches, with the words: "Any request will be answered".The Taoist priest was sitting there, telling a group of children about the past and the present, when they saw the second child and Guangxiao come in, the children panicked and called timidly: "Second uncle, don't tell my father that I'm here to play on the mountain!" The second smiled and nodded to the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest continued to talk about him, talking about what the children asked about musk deer.He said: "The new musk deer is a beast or a fairy, a ghost or a god. He has never seen it before, but for everything in the world, seeing is believing and hearing is false."Since people at the foot of the mountain are talking about musk deer, he thinks that there is one. If it feels good, it is a good omen; Rats can also give birth to musk deer.The five elements restrain each other, and the gossip changes constantly. Let everything exist and develop.The children didn't understand this, and neither did the second child and Guangxiao.The children were not very interested, and took out their feet again, asking the Taoist priest to confirm who was the native of Shangzhou. The Taoist said: "You all want to be natives of Shangzhou. Do you know why this place is called Shangzhou instead of another name?" The children said: "I don't know." The Taoist said: "I don't know. I Let me tell you. This Shangzhou was a barren land in the early days. There were no people, just trees, all of which were the Nine Immortals. Mountain running. Later, a man brought our ancestor here. This man was called Yang. At that time, the world was divided into many countries. Yang was from the state of Wei, and his surname was Gongsun. This man was eight feet long, very intelligent. He likes to study the law, and he is very serious about everything he does. He says what he says is one, and what he says is two. He is never ambiguous. When he was ill, the king of Wei went to visit him. When the monarch and his ministers talked about state affairs, Wei Xiang said: "I am sick every day. I am afraid that I will not live for a long time. For the sake of our country and society, I recommend one of my disciples, named Martingale." Although he is young, he has a talent. I hope you can use it again.' The king of Wei did not answer. Before leaving, Wei Xiang asked the people around him to step back, and said in secret: 'Since the king does not use martingale, he must be killed. He is going to another country!" The king agreed. As soon as the king of Wei left, Wei Xiang called Martingale and said, "Today the king asked who could be the country's minister in the future. I said I would use you, but he did not agree. As Wei Xiang , Of course, the king first, and then the ministers, so if you are not needed, you will be killed. The king agrees with me. Now you should go away quickly." Hearing this, Martingale said very calmly: "Since the king If you don't listen to your words and use me, how can you listen to your words and kill me?' Just don't run away. Sure enough, after King Wei returned, he said to the people around him: "Wei Xiang is very sick. It really makes me sad, but he let I use martingale, and he is sick and confused!"' The Taoist priest was talking, not looking at the children, but looking up into the distance, staring at Gao Tian Liu Yun.The sun in the sky travels through the clouds, entering the clouds, the mountains are cloudy, and the golden light is shining around the clouds; when it comes out of the clouds, the universe is bright and the mountains are green and the grass is new.In and out of this way, the mountain scenery is constantly changing.Suddenly there was a gunshot in the distance, and the children rioted. They all stood up and shouted: "Where did you shoot?"Finally, I found Guangda standing on the old castle on the top of the high sky peak.With his body set against the sky, he could clearly see his feet and hands, and then he yelled sharply: "I killed the white musk! I killed the white musk!" They all looked at each other, and no one could say anything. In a word.The second child suddenly looked up and laughed, fell down, got up again and clapped his hands and shouted: "It's done! It's done!" He went up to the wall of the fort and raised his shirt and asked, "The light is here—is that the strange musk deer?" ?—” Guangda shouted over there: "That's right, that's right, I killed him with a single shot, I killed him!" The shout disturbed the people down the mountain, and people came out of every slab house like little beetles, all stretched their necks to look at Tianfeng Castle.The children ran out of the Taoist temple with a bang, and went down the mountain one after another, Guangxiao also ran out, the second child stopped: "The musk deer is killed, there is time to watch, We haven’t done business yet!” Then he pulled the Taoist priest to explain his purpose. The Taoist priest said: “If you kill a musk deer, you have to go and have a look. How can you think about it?” The second child hurriedly said: “I beg you Now, this is a big deal!" The Taoist had no choice but to sit down, took a branch and wrote a line on the ground, asking the second child to report Guangda's birthday, and Xiaomei's birthday, and then fell silent. , his eyelids blinked, and at the end he muttered something, so he looked up at the faces of the second child and Guangxiao. The second child was so nervous that he was out of breath, his face turned blue, and kept asking: "Do you agree with each other?" The Taoist master stroked his beard and read There is a poem: "Once the sheep and the mouse meet, the white horse is always afraid of the green ox. The jade rabbit sees the dragon and the cloud to accompany it. The golden rooster tears when it meets the dog. The snake sees the tiger like a knife. , just for the sake of clashing. " The second child said: "How do you say this?" The Taoist priest said: "Marriage and fate will not conflict. Guangda is the life of fire, and Xiaomei is the life of gold; real gold is not afraid of fire!" Don't be afraid of fire, but isn't fire always burning gold?" The Taoist said: "Everything in the universe is in motion, yin and yang restrain each other, contradictions restrain each other, there is quantity in quality, and quality in quantity.变化万端而又无穷无尽。这便是道。讲：天下皆知美之为美，斯恶已；皆知善之为善，斯不善已。故有无之相生，难易之相成，长短之相形，高下之相倾，音声之相和，前后之相随。夫妻生活，便也是一个哭的，搭一个笑的，一个俏的，配一个拙的。相反相成方能相依为命，这火若遇水，水必灭火，火若遇木，木遭火焚，所以火与金是最好不过的了。”一度话说得老二昏昏沉沉，末了问：“你说能成?”道长说： “能成!”老二弯腰就给道长鞠一个躬，和光小眉开心舒地下山去看死麝了。 Four 白麝是被光大打死了。 当雄麝突然遭受到阿黄的袭击，使白麝大吃一惊，当时领了一双小麝躲在古堡南边的一个石洞里，惶惶不安。果然，不久就闻到人的气息，是老二和阿黄又来了，它们谁也不敢吭声，全把嘴巴埋在土里，露出鼻孔和一对眼睛。幸好，老二和阿黄并未发现它们。 这天，白麝和一对小麝都饥饿了，白麝必须出去觅食，就叼来许多树枝掩在洞口。叮咛一对小麝千万不要出洞。 它走出去，终于找着了吃的，赶紧往回跑。可是，就在它刚刚上到古堡，一抬头，却发现远远的一块石头后，趴着一个人，一眼闭，一眼睁，用一杆枪在瞄准。它急忙一缩头，那枪没有响，才明白那人并没发现自己。那么，这人在瞄准着什么呢?它慌了，怀疑是不是无知的儿女跑出来被人在捕猎?再一抬头，突然看见前边的草丛里腾起一个黄色影子，立即就不见了。白麝方明白那人在瞄准着野兔，但它刚才的一抬头，却被那人看见了，听见一声锐叫：“白麝!”此时，它意识到了它的错误，拼命地逃跑，那人不顾一切地追赶。它头脑极清醒，在南边峭崖上，它只要再蹿过那个石角，猎人是爬不到峭崖上的，那枪也是打不中它的，但它发现那人正趴在了儿女们隐藏的洞的左前方，它不能让猎人发现了儿女，就又踅过身来往一块平地上跑。枪响了，它终于倒下了。 石洞里，雄麝和雌麝看见了逃跑着的母亲，接着就听见枪响。雄麝再也控制不住，要扑出去，雌麝却咬住它将它死死按住。它们看着猎人提了冒着青烟的枪过去，把母亲拉走了，狂呼着下山了，兄妹俩抱头大哭，然后雄麝就怨恨雌麝，踢它，咬它。雌麝也踢也咬雄麝，兄妹在发泄着对人的仇恨，却伤害了自己的同胞，末了就又各自拿头撞石洞壁，撞得满头满身的血，一个倒在了另一个身上喘气。
