the castle 贾平凹 9709Words 2018-03-19
Boss Zhang was indeed fooled.The Public Security Bureau finally caught the liar back in Shangzhou City.This man abducted a woman to live in a hotel in Shangzhou City. She wore a black wool coat and ate canned white fungus.When the public security personnel knocked on the door and entered, he was sleeping with the woman.Pulled out from the quilt, the glaring handcuffs were stuck on.The court tried, judged and sentenced the criminal, and finally sentenced the criminal to prison for seven years; but he had already spent 8,000 yuan on the 28,000 yuan.The boss held 20,000 yuan, and his body was like sifting chaff. He didn't know how to go back? How did he talk to the villagers? When he asked about it, he found Secretary Ma of the county party committee, hoping that the parents and officials of the head of the county would support him. , to make decisions.

Secretary Ma received him.After asking his name, he tapped his finger on the forehead and shouted, "I know about this. Your deputy head made a report and suspected that you took the money to start your own business." The boss said : "How can the deputy mayor be so suspicious? I haven't been back for so long. I don't know what happened at home?" Secretary Ma said that the report was very detailed. How did Yunyun's child get sick and die, and how did Zhang's second child commit suicide? .After hearing this, the boss forgot where he was, and burst into tears like an old cow.After crying for a while, he wiped away his tears and said, "Secretary, it's all my fault, my inexperience, my inexperience, my being deceived by bad guys, I'm sorry for the people in the village! Now I've lost 8,000 yuan, and I haven't bought a car. How can I meet people when I go back here?" ?!" Secretary Ma inquired about the mining team in detail, and was very sympathetic. He immediately wrote a certificate, proving that the boss was indeed deceived, so that the villagers did not have to suspect; at the same time, he also told the boss not to seek personal contact to buy in the future. car.When the county has a quota for cars, the first one will take care of the mining team and keep him informed.At the end, he said: "I should go and see this mine team. Since the production situation is good, we must continue to run it!" The boss stepped out of the county party committee, thinking that there are still good leaders in the world.Involuntarily scolding the deputy mayor a few times in his heart, he went into a restaurant by himself, bought wine and meat for two yuan, ate and drank freely, and then took a car back to the village.

When the car was on the slope in front of the village, he jumped off.For a while, I couldn't stand firmly, and rolled down from the gentle slope.The tree right tore his trousers.He tied up the pimple at the broken place, touched the wad of money tied around his waist, and limped into the village.Someone in the village found him, his mouth was so wide open that he couldn't speak, he greeted him, but he was still in a daze, and then he ran away.Shouting: "The boss is back! The boss is back!" In an instant, the village was bitten by chickens and dogs.He was flustered, his whole body was itchy and painful, knowing that what would meet him would be a more terrible embarrassment, and he felt a burst of sadness, resentment, and grievance, and tears flowed down his face.He walked by the river, scooped up biting water to wash his face, trying to restrain himself and stabilize his emotions.But at a glance, he saw a pile of burnt grass and broken clay pots on the river beach, and understood that these were leftovers from the funeral for the second child, and cried out sadly: "Second brother, second child!" Ah Huang on the other side passed by like a whirlwind, barking and barking in front of him dripping wet.The eldest hugged and asked, "Where is the second child buried? Ah Huang, where is the second child buried?" Ah Huang turned around and ran up the slope, the eldest followed closely, and when he came to a newly piled grave, he rushed fell to the ground.

Yunyun and grandma were spinning at home, when the barber came in and said, "Boss is back!" Yunyun's thread snapped, and he asked anxiously, "Where is he?" Father said, "I heard that he is back. Hurry up!" Go to his house and have a look!" The father and daughter trotted to the old man's house, but there was no sign of the old man at home: Xiaomei was chopping grass for the pig, one knife was heavy, but one knife was light, and she was so thin that she lost her shape.Hearing that the eldest brother was back, Xiaomei said, "It must be on the second brother's grave!" The three of them came to the second brother's grave.The eldest was in great grief, beating the loess with both hands and crying, howling, and crying for the second, saying that after the death of his parents, they would be two brothers, and now he is not a good brother.This family was harmed, and the second child was also harmed.Originally, he wanted to make the village rich, so that it would be easy to find a wife, so he would definitely marry the second child, but the second child did this kind of thing and died early.After a while he cried for his son again, resenting that since he died so soon, why did he have to be born under his name? Finally, he cried for himself, complaining about his suffering, complaining about his injustice, calling himself not a good brother or a good husband , is not a good father, but he is for this village! If he could draw out his heart, he would show it to everyone! The crying was mournful, and Yunyun and Xiaomei were also in tears.The barber was going to give the boss a good lesson, but after hearing his pain, he understood the pain his son-in-law suffered outside, and his resentment disappeared, his heart was filled with grief, and his body felt cold.Xiaomei said: "Brother, don't cry, go home, what should I do if I hurt my body in such a cold day?" Yunyun came over to pull the boss, and the barber said: "Let him cry, and vomit all the grievances in his stomach." Come out and be nice to him, I really need to lie down to hurt my body.” The boss cried for a while, stood up, knelt down facing his father-in-law and said, “Uncle, I’m the one who hurt Yunyun, It also hurts your old man!" The barber couldn't help crying, bowed his head and went home slowly.

Yunyun and Xiaomei took the eldest brother back home, but many people gathered in front of the door.They didn't come to visit and comfort the boss, they came to ask for money and question crimes.When the house was empty, they made a lot of noise; now, when the eldest came back, they were all silent and made way for him to come. The boss invited everyone to sit down and took out cigarettes for smoking. Niu Mozi said, "Boss, don't put on a show! Where's the car? Where's the car you bought? You've been shopping for so long, and you've had enough fun in the big world outside, but What about our money? We want money, and the folks get their money in exchange for blood and sweat! You are back, okay, tell everyone about your red lips and white teeth!” Yunyun immediately replied: “You still let people live ?He just got home, and he hasn't had a sip of water yet. Are you trying to grab this again?!" Xiaomei also said, "What are you all doing here? Are you here to beat my brother? If you have a conscience, you should understand that this mine is Who opened it first, how did it start, who asked everyone to open it first, and who organized everyone? Everyone raised money, and how did they get it? My elder brother will suffer any loss for the sake of this village. I have suffered all kinds of crimes. Didn’t he go out to buy a car so that the mines in our village can be delivered quickly and the profits can be recovered? He went to the county town and was deceived by others. You all come and surround; do you have the heart? You all go back! Go back!!"

People don't go.Later, three people bowed their heads and walked outside the courtyard gate. Niu Mozi said, "If we say this, we will lose all our money!" The boss stood up and said, "Don't leave. You are here. It's just right, but if you don't come, I will I still want to call everyone. I want to report the situation of this trip to everyone. I know that the money for the car was saved by every family. Our village is still poor. Who wants to embezzle this money? Damn, it’s ruined, the world will not tolerate it! Let me tell you that the car has not been bought yet, but the secretary of the county party committee, Ma, has agreed. The county will give us a quota for the car, and he will notify us when the quota is reached!"

The crowd started to discuss, but Niu Mozi said: "Don't listen to his sweet words! Who is Secretary Ma? The head of a county, our parent officer! Can Secretary Ma recognize who is your boss Zhang? Don't slap your face and pretend to be fat. I’m fooling people! Then let me ask you, if you can’t buy a car, where’s the money? Where’s the money?” The crowd also asked for money. The boss turned his back, untied his belt, took out a pocket from the belt, and held it high.Said: "Here is the money! My Boss Zhang was guilty because he was inexperienced and fell into the trap of a bad guy: The guy said he could buy a car, took the money and ran around; later the police arrested him. The money was recovered Some people say that I took the money to do private business. Here is the certificate from Secretary Ma. If everyone wants the money, you can return it now. We have the account book, Xiaomei, you can call the accountant."

Xiaomei called the accountant and refunded the accumulated car money one by one.The villagers took the money.Without another word, he backed away.In the end, there was only Niu Mozi left. The boss asked him to sign the account book and said, "Take your money, let's go!" "It's over as soon as this is refunded? If my money is deposited in the bank, it won't be all that!" The boss said: "You mean interest? You do the math yourself to see how much interest you have, and I can give it to you. But let me tell you, if this mine is to be opened again, the people in the mine team will have to strictly examine it, you can’t dig it, you

I'm afraid that silly son is also unqualified. "Niu Mozi sneered and said: "Do you still want to run a mining team?" The boss replied: "That's right! Do the math, how much interest is it?" He turned back and called: "Yunyun, make a pot of tea, Let's drink and calculate slowly!" Yunyun came out of the house, without any teapot, but poured a basin of sewage in the yard. Niu Mozi stood up and said, "That's all, let your boss take advantage of it!" As soon as the cow mill left, the boss suddenly softened, and sat there stupidly, unable to get up.The two aunts and sisters-in-law helped him to sleep on the kang. Xiaomei said, "Brother, so the money is not lost?" That sum of accumulation is padded inside. I think, the money of the mine team will not be moved. Our tractor transports ore in the mine team. We pay the fare once and then return it to the mine team at a discount. The rest of the money owed , I will find a way to pay it back to the collective soon.” Yunyun and Xiaomei were in tears, and the boss said, “As long as the mine is dug again,

The money will come back again, don't cry, don't cry. "As he spoke, he also began to cry. two The boss is determined to make up for the losses he has suffered.But when he was about to lead the mine team back to work, 80% of the people quit. No matter how mobilized, the answer was: "Forget it, we are poor, and we can't enjoy the blessings of antimony mines!" The boss was so worried that he took a bottle of wine to drink with the director at night, and poured out all his grievances and sufferings to the director. The director said, "I'm also thinking about the village. You're messing with the whole village. No matter how much effort, how much effort, it still failed in the end. My film is about to provide a question for thinking in this regard." The boss said: "According to you, this mine team will be doomed?" Director Said: "How can I forget it? I mean that the mine still needs to be dug, but in the future, we must pay more attention to how to let the villagers know themselves and strengthen themselves. Of course, this is not what you can do alone, and it is not a day.

It can be reached in two days.This place of yours is too remote and backward, let’s just say you are poor, and you don’t know why you are poor? How do you get rich? In this way, even if you are really rich, it will also lead to being rich and unkind!” The boss nodded, feeling deeply The director thought deeply, saw farther, and was smarter than himself, so he asked what to do in the future. The director asked him in detail what happened in the county, and said: "People here are honest and honest, and they are barbaric. Lingling like a fox, it is really hard to tell if it is stupid.Because of this, they are superstitious, superstitious gods and ghosts, and superstitious officials above.Now we need to organize them. On the one hand, we must gradually change these dispositions, and on the other hand, we must take advantage of these shortcomings and make the best use of the situation.Since Secretary Ma of the county party committee supports the mining team, why don't you write him a letter and report the situation here.Let him come and maybe things will get better. "The boss's eyes lit up suddenly, and he shouted: "This makes sense! Only when Secretary Ma comes, the villagers will listen to him, even the head and deputy head of the township dare not do anything.After I buy the car, I want to set up a professional mining team, just like factories and mines in other places, train technicians and establish rules and regulations.Although the country does not look down on mining this mine, it is enough for our village to mine it for decades or hundreds of years!" The director said: "Okay, this idea is good, when I come to make movies again, I will only shoot you guys. Mining team!" The two talked speculatively, and drank a bottle of wine. The boss had to go home to get it, but the director said that he had to work tomorrow, so he didn't dare to drink anymore. The boss asked how much the film was shot? The director said: "Three more scenes by the river, two more scenes in the castle, and finally one filming at Candlestick Peak Taoist Temple. We should withdraw our troops and return to the camp. For the last scene, please help me, let the villagers become extras, I will definitely show you a scene!" The boss smiled and said, "Okay, after the film is finished, we must first show the first scene here!" After speaking, he staggered into the night. Five days later, a Beijing jeep drove to the river in front of the village, and the head and deputy head got out of the car. Between the two heads was a short, fat man.The boss immediately recognized that it was Secretary Ma of the county party committee and went up to shake hands. The arrival of the secretary caused a sensation in the whole village.Since ancient times, no leader above the township has visited the village, and everyone is watching.Whenever the secretary looked at anyone, he would smile stupidly.As soon as the secretary turned around, he began to comment, saying that the secretary had a big head, a big mouth, and a full forehead, and he was a natural official.The secretary convened a village meeting in Yuhetan, demanding that the mine be continued to be dug, and the mine team was still in charge of the village head and boss.He also said that regarding the transportation vehicles, several new vehicles had arrived in the county, and they decided to allocate one here. The money for the vehicle could not be paid for at the moment, and the county would guarantee a bank loan.After all, the words of the secretary It is authoritative, and the original mining team got on the horse again.The boss sent people to light the lamps to clean the mine at night, check and repair the brackets, and at dawn, he and two assistants loaded the ore and went to the county. As soon as the boss left, Niu Mozi let out the wind in the village and said: "The mine is the mine of the country. Secretary Ma asked us to open the mine. Let us listen to the secretary and work hard for Secretary Ma!" Then he went to encourage the village chief and let the village The chief leader went up the mountain to have a good time, and said: "Now the secretary has asked you to take the lead, and this village is about to come! Although there have been musk deer and the role of the second child. But our place is good after all, thanks to the presence of There is a Taoist temple, there is a Nine Immortals tree, why don’t we invite the ghost class to play and send “paper fire” to the gods on the mountain?” The village head listened to Niu Mozi’s words.In the morning, I organized a "paper fire" and went to Hubei to invite the ghost class. Every April 20th, there is a temple fair in the Taoist temple, and this "paper fire" is to be given away.Now the "paper fire" is suddenly sent, and it is limited to this village. Paper hangings of various colors are pasted into eight or two feet high, and they are picked up with bamboo poles. Afterwards, it was burnt under the Nine Immortals tree.Niu Mozi's idea is very suitable for the mood of the villagers. It has been a long time to ask about the disaster. Now, whether it is extremely peaceful or not, it should be sacrificed to the gods on the mountain! Although the villagers are usually stingy and fight for every penny, they seem generous Abnormal. At that time, when the group bought paper and came back, each family went to explain, Those who can make paper figurines washed their hands and burned high incense, and then displayed their crafts.This one made a card building of "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", and the other two made a rotating tower of "Fu Lu Shou".Birds and animals, fish, insects, flowers and plants, gods and ghosts, monarchs and ministers, are all made of gold foil and silver foil, with romantic ideas and vivid shapes.The barber also bought 20 sheets of paper and took them home. He enthusiastically made them. Yun Yun said, "Father, you can do what other people do here. You are so stupid!" The barber said, "Why?" Yun Yun asked: "They are so lively, but they are all here for the boss! Everyone is snobbish, with eye sockets on their foreheads. The boss ruined his family because of the village, but no one said he was good; Secretary Ma didn't suffer anything, so he took a car Let me say a few words, and it will be regarded as a blessing to the village! What are you doing with that 'paper fire'? To save money, it is better to buy a few catties of salt to eat!" Nai said: "This is for the gods, Why not? It’s been like this for a long time, and the boss won’t suffer from those troubles!” The barber also said: “Besides, we can’t hope that everything will go smoothly in the future!” The barber is not very skilled, he I don't know how to be the characters in the ancient operas and legends, so I made two huge towers in the shape of mountains, and pasted tinfoil cut into triangles on them, saying that they were gifts to the gods. When it was noon, the Devil Squad set off three big paper cannons by the river, and the gongs, drums, and suona began to beat, and groups of people came out of the village immediately, and each group led a "paper fire", "paper fire" Collected together, there are a total of twelve, mainly yellow, with red, green and white contrasting, very dazzling.People in the village swarmed to watch and comment on the quality of the "paper fire".The director asked the photographer to set up the machine to shoot, and said straightly: "Interesting, interesting, this place is still popular, after shooting, it can be used in our film!" Those who played "paper fire" saw the director and photographer taking pictures, and they became more and more proud.The members of the ghost class looked at the camera with their eyes, blowing their necks and cheeks as thick as they were, and the director shouted anxiously: "Don't look this way!" Said: "Go there too, let the photographer take pictures of you!" Guangda coyly said: "I look like this, shame on me!" Xiaomei said: "I just changed your clothes yesterday, and today they are so dirty again? Hurry up! Go back and change!" The director heard Xiaomei's voice, and hurriedly said: "Guangda, don't change, the clothes are just right. Go get the gun Throw it in the air a few times, and I'll let you shoot!" Guangda said: "It's not good to shoot a gun, my family has a three-eyed blunderbuss, and I only shoot it during the Chinese New Year. The director said: "Then you go back and get it!" Guangda flew back, took the three-eyed gun, filled it with gunpowder, stood among the "paper fire" people, stepped on it hard, and the sharp blade under the three-eyed gun The fork was stuck on the ground, and it was slightly tilted. Use the matchlock to touch it, bang! bang! bang! Three loud noises, deafening. When the team goes up the mountain, first are the "paper fire" players, then the devil squad, then the gongs and drums, and then the elders, young men, and dolls.Women are not allowed to send "paper fire", but they can follow the team to the mountain and stand outside the ancient castle cave. Ah Huang and Ai Ai also led all the same kind in the village, running up from all the forks, barking loudly.The Taoist priest learned that the "paper fire" was going to be sent down the mountain, so he also took the little Taoist priests, new clothes and fresh robes, and stood in front of the gate of the ancient castle to greet them. under the tree.According to regulations, "paper fire" must be kept under the Nine Immortals tree for five days before it can be burned.After the gongs, drums, and suona made noise again, the villagers went down the mountain to go home to eat a kind of Babao Mashi rice that they would eat when sending "paper fire". three When the boss came back from transporting the ore, he heard that the villagers sent "paper fire", and he didn't have much objection. He secretly rejoiced that this might promote the smooth progress of mining.He went to the village head and asked him to take charge of the mine construction, while he went to the county every two days to deliver the ore that had been backlogged before.The two assistants who worked for him got up before dawn and came back in the middle of the night. After four days, they were so tired that they begged for a rest.The boss saw that these two people couldn't support him, so he let them go on vacation, and then replaced them to help him load and unload the car.The rooster crowed three times that day, he woke Yunyun up and told him to cook, Yunyun said: "You should take a rest, even after running for so many days, you can't bear it even if you are so hard! Will you spare a day today?" ?” The boss said: "You are talking nonsense! The original mines have not been transported, and the new ones have been dug out. Can I rest? When the car comes back and the driver is hired, I will sleep well. I will sleep for ten and a half months without waking up!" "After finishing speaking, I went to call the two assistants to load the car together. Yunyun got up to cook, and when the rice was ready, he asked the boss to eat.The kerosene lamp on the cabinet suddenly went out.Yun Yun asked: "Is it windy outside?" The boss said: "No." Yun Yun's expression changed suddenly, and he said: "Then you go to sleep on the kang, and you won't drive today." Getting out of the car?" Yun Yun said, "This light is fine, why did it go out? It's unlucky to go out." The boss laughed a little, put on his clothes and was about to go out, and said, "You superstitious daughter-in-law!" gone.As soon as the boss left, Yunyun also smiled at her own superstition, but she was still not at ease, so she took two buns from the cage, wrapped them in a towel, and rushed to the loading point, the assistant joked: "Yo, Yunyun hasn’t been intimate enough at home!” Yunyun spit, hung the bun on the back of the tractor seat and said, “Slow down on the road!” The boss said, “It’s okay, I won’t die!” The assistant said, “Yunyun , if you really want to treat the boss well, you can quickly raise a baby for him!" Yun Yun scolded: "Poor mouth!" She couldn't help but blush.The boss started the tractor, two assistants sat on it, and "doo-doo-doo" drove away. As soon as she arrived at Hewan, Niu Mozi's "wife-in-law" took a big burden and asked for a ride, saying that she would take her to the mouth of Longwanggou and go back to her mother's house, which would save fifty miles.The boss said: "No way, there are so many ore loaded, and two more people sit on it, so it's not safe to pick up another person." The "sister-in-law" said: "It's safe for you to sit? Is it because my father is disgusting with you , don’t you want to pick me up?” The boss said, “I’m so small? Besides, your father is your father, and you are you! If you insist on sitting, you can sit.” The tractor traveled forty miles and began to climb a big slope. , Hang, hang, hang, climbed up to the top for a long time, and turned downhill again and again. The boss used both hands and feet, not daring to relax for a moment.The assistant sat on the ore behind and kept lighting a cigarette, stuffing it in the mouth of the boss, and finally went downhill, and was about to reach the entrance of Longwanggou, where there was a piercing road.A pile of rocks collapsed at the corner of the cliff on the Bianian Road. The boss turned the nose upside down and drove around the rocks, but the outer wheels of the tractor were too close to the side, and the foundation weir next to the rocks could not withstand the pressure and collapsed with a bang. Suddenly, the tractor tilted up suddenly, and fell down in a flash. The accident happened so suddenly, after a moment of dizziness, the deep canyon was dead silent.After an unknown amount of time, the boss felt pain all over his body, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he was sleeping in a sand nest.Beside him, there was a pile of walking tractors that looked like lumps of scrap iron, and the chassis was broken into several pieces and nestled on the other side.He suddenly remembered that the tractor had overturned.I quickly got up, feeling that my face was wet and blood was smeared on my hands.He called the two assistants and "Sister-in-law" again and again, but no one responded. When I went to look again, "Sister-in-law" had a cracked head in the pile of rocks under the collapse of the tunnel.The joking assistant's head was fine, but he was pressed under the tractor from the chest down, and his mouth and nose were bleeding, and the blood had coagulated.There was only another assistant, who was sitting dumbfounded under the beach outside. He wasn't hurt at all, but he was terrified.The boss called him, and he ran without stopping.The boss knew that he was frightened, and passed out on the beach again. The accident shocked the villagers, as well as the township and county.The two township heads came to XX Village again, accompanied by people from the Public Security Bureau to check the scene and deal with the funeral.Niu Mozi cried and cried, slept in the boss's house and couldn't afford it, and demanded compensation for his life, and then jumped in and out, trying to hang the meat curtain in Zhangjiamen.Xiaomei and Yunyun rushed to grab the rope in his hand, but the boss said: "Let him hang himself, I have never seen anyone hang himself in this life! Bring the stool and let's watch him hang himself!" But Niu Mozi cried He yelled and kowtowed to the two township chiefs and the police officers, asking them to punish the murderer severely, to be the master of the people, and to exchange the life of the boss for the two lives of the dead. The boss was arrested. After investigation and trial by the court, in the end he did not return his life, but was sentenced to three years in prison. Soon, the county people's court's announcement was posted all over the county.People from the township police station took a large roll of notices to the village of XX, and the village chief posted them everywhere in the village. It was pasted up. Below each notice was the name of the president of the court in impressive handwriting, and above the name was a bright red seal of the county people's court.All the villagers flocked to watch, and some read aloud. Grandma Yunyun's illness worsened. Sitting at the door, when she saw two or three people together, she pointed at them suspiciously and said, "Then we are dispatched again! Whoever dares to do anything to my boss, I don't know." I will spare him, and I will complain to Lord Yan, who I can recognize." Yun Yun helped her into the room without making irresponsible remarks.The barber walked in from outside the door, sat down at the stove and smoked a cigarette. After eating for a long time, he said, "The notice is posted." Xiaomei said, "What's written on it?" The barber said, "Judge for three years." Xiaomei got up and went out.The barber stopped and said, "Xiaomei, don't go out. Everyone in the village is reading the notices there, you..." Xiaomei still broke free, and when she reached the entrance of the village, she saw a notice under which many people were scrambling for something. The notice was torn.Immediately, I saw a child rushing over, holding something in his hand and shouting: "I got it, I got it!" Xiaomei felt very strange, so she stopped and asked, "What are you grabbing there?" The child said: "Grab the red stamp to avoid evil!" He raised his hand, and there was a piece of red stamp paper dug out from the notice in the palm of his hand. Xiaomei said, "Why dig that?" The child said: "People say that this red poke wards off evil spirits. If you dig it up and wear it on your body, no ghosts or ghosts will hit you. There will be no disasters or difficulties. There are holes dug in all the notices. Go and dig one too!" Xiaomei yelled "Brother!" and leaned against a small tree, which was shaking.The leaves fell like rain. Four The film crew finished the last shot. They packed their luggage and were about to leave the village. The director was very satisfied with his film, and he was confident that after the film was screened.It will definitely arouse social repercussions. He wants to thank this place from the bottom of his heart, but he also hates this place from the bottom of his heart.The ×× village at the junction of the three provinces provided the scene of this film, which further deepened and even changed his outlook on life.Now.He is leaving, maybe he will come again in the future, maybe he will leave this place forever in this life.He said in his heart: "I will remember this place, I will always remember this place!" He called the photographer and wanted to take pictures of the natural scene of this place alone again after the film was finished, as a kind of Record, a kind of information that helps memory in the future.The photographer fully agreed, and he had already thought about it.So the two of them took a camera and took pictures of the four mountains and the ancient castles on the mountains; they took pictures of the scattered villages; they also took pictures of the faces of some people in the villages, even those dogs, chickens, pigs, and sheep.I went to the antimony mine again, and took pictures of the miners, the ore they dug out, and the notice that had been dug out of the red seal pasted at the entrance of the mine.The camera landed on the three words "Boss Zhang" marked in red on the notice for a long time, and gave a close-up.Finally, I went up to the opposite slope, pointed the camera at Candlestick Peak, and could clearly see the intact old castle, the Taoist temple in the old castle, the Nine Immortals tree in the Taoist temple, and the tree next to it Old Taoists and young Taoists who walk like beans. However, at this time, the sky changed.First, a red cloud burned up in the western sky, the cloud was as red as blood, and disappeared in an instant, and a dark cloud swept across the border between Hubei and Henan.The dark cloud was grotesque in shape and unpredictable, covering the tops of the four mountain peaks very quickly, and then froze as if motionless.Goshawks and crows all over the sky flew around like pieces of paper, and then disappeared without a trace.The director was very surprised. Hearing the dead silence in the valley, he said: "No, I'm afraid there will be a big storm!" He packed up the camera, went down the hillside with the photographer, and got into an abandoned mine at the bottom of the hill. .Sure enough, the wind rushed from between Tianfeng, Difeng, and Renfeng, whistling like a tide, and all the vegetation fell to the ground, but Candlestick Peak was as quiet as before.The wind blew for half an hour, and the sky became darker and darker. Suddenly, something like a tree root appeared in the sky, and then a red fireball rolled down like the sun and landed on the corner of the ancient castle on Candlestick Peak. A corner of the castle collapsed, and the rocks flew into the air; another fireball like the sun rolled down from the clouds and hit the ancient castle of Tianfeng. With a bang, the vegetation burst into flames.He clearly saw a little Taoist priest carrying water from the back mountain before entering the Taoist temple, and a fireball chased him away.The little Taoist threw away the water load and fled to the temple.The fireball got in through the gate of the main hall, and immediately the fireworks took off, and the fire rolled out of the castle again, igniting the trees on the mountain peak.There was a loud cry on the mountain, and there was also a loud cry on the bottom of the mountain. The old Taoist and two young Taoist priests ran up the mountain like crazy, and some people started to run up the mountain, but the mountain road was engulfed in flames.As a result, all the forests of shoots were soon filled with fireworks, and Candlestick Peak lost its existence.The fire burned up the Tianfeng Mountain along the ditch, and the fire on the Tianfeng Mountain burned down again. When the two peaks joined together, only the sound of booming and crackling was heard.Those trees first burst into flames, and the flames fluttered in the air, like flags, and then the branches fell, making a huge clicking sound, and as the entire stake fell, countless fireball sparks flew out.The director and cameraman were stunned by the sudden lightning strike. They had only heard of such a phenomenon happening in Taibai Mountain before, but they didn’t expect it to happen here! After the thunderstorm ended, there was no heavy rain and the wind stopped. The clouds in the sky disappeared again.The director and cameraman ran down the slope and saw that all the villagers had taken shovels, water basins, and wooden barrels and stood under the peak, but the fire was too strong and no one could go up the mountain; and the heat wave on the mountain pushed them all the way to the river. side. The director and cinematographer set up the camera again.The fire that covered the mountain was photographed. Until it was dark, the fire was still burning, and none of the villagers went to sleep, just staring at the fire.Also in the middle of the night, when the fire on Candlestick Peak was slowly extinguished, in the old castle.The fire is booming.In the light of the fire, there were several screams suddenly, and a straight-moving beast was seen running on the top of the castle wall.The people at the foot of the mountain saw it immediately and shouted, "It's a musk deer! It's another musk deer!" The musk deer screamed and ran in the firelight, and then disappeared.The fire was still burning red. Three days later, there was a heavy rain, Candlestick Peak and Tianfeng lost a lot of weight, as if they were charred.The old castle still exists except for one corner collapsed, it looks darker and darker, a few hawks and harriers flew on the top, and the color can't be discerned at all. In the mine, the miners were digging and talking about the fire.At noon.A brand-new truck drove up on the road by the river, and a sharp voice came: "The car is coming! The car allocated to us by the county is here!" There are four people: one Guangda, one Guangxiao, one Yunyun, and one Xiaomei.They didn't go down to look at the car, but they still looked at Candlestick Peak and Tianfeng, which were burned black and bare.Everbright has said it dozens of times, and still says: "That fire is really big." Xiaomei said, "Big fire." Light novel: "Is that musk deer alive or dead?" Everbright said: "It's dead. Or it's alive." Yunyun didn't listen to them, and saw the villagers in Hewanli cheering around the new car, saying, "The new car is really here!?" Xiaomei said, "That's good, the village will be rich." Guangxiao said, "I need to tell my eldest brother the news. I'll go to the county labor camp tomorrow." Everbright said: "Don't go. He will be sad if he finds out!" Guang Xiaoxiao: "No way, isn't eldest brother thinking about having this new car?" Yunyun sighed, and said, "Oh, he is so pitiful. Now that there is a car, the villagers have forgotten everything." But Xiaomei gritted her teeth and said, "I will never forget it, and I will remember it when the time comes." Yun Yun asked, "Can you remember?" Xiaomei said: "I can." I said it, and said it again: "I can."
