Chapter 10 chapter eight
People living in Dongchagou Village are extremely scattered. There are a few thatched huts here and a cluster of tile-roofed houses there under the roots of the mountains on both sides or on the half slope, and there is a mountain spring in front of each house, and there is a patch of green NFDA4 and Castanopsis Tree.There are stone mills everywhere, and the upper fan is almost worn out, and only half of the lower fan is worn out. A stone is pressed on it, or a cat is lying on it.The cow stretched its body and walked past the fence. It ignored the motorcycle coming.There are more cherry trees than in Mizoguchi, and the flowers are tearing cotton and wadding, but there are also mountain peaches blooming among them, with thin branches, flourishing on the bank.
Bamboo yelled that the scenery is beautiful: Look at that bamboo pole, one end is connected to the mountain spring, and the other end goes through the house wall. Is it a water pipe, directly sending water to the stove?He also pointed out that the earthen wall under the eaves was nailed with wooden pegs, and there were strings of peppers, dried beans, dried tofu, potato chips, and figs hanging on them. When the figs were dried, they looked like they were soaked in honey? !Look at the tulou where the tobacco leaves are dried. There is a log hanging on the tulou. It is not a log, but a beehive made by hollowing out. There is a red note on the beehive. What is written on it?Bring a lamp and say: It says the queen bee is here.Bamboo was full of praise: well written, how can you write this word!However, there is another house where the Spring Festival couplets on the door frame are still intact, but there are no words on them. They are circles under the bowl buckle drawn with ink pens. If you can’t read, you don’t write. The idea of drawing circles with bowl buckles is quite interesting.Someone sat on a rock and untied his leg wraps to pinch lice. While scolding the child who was eating with a sea bowl, don’t keep stirring the thick rice in the bowl with chopsticks. You stirred the thick rice into a soup. One of them shouted loudly: Did you give birth? --gave birth! ——What happened? --you guess! ——Boy? — Guess again! ——Girl? ——Ah, you stupid spirit, you guessed it after two guesses!
Bring a lamp and say: Can you summarize the scenery here in an idiom?Bamboo said: beautiful and rich!Bring a lamp and say: Beautiful and rich should not be an idiom, right?Bamboo said: It is an idiom!With a lamp, he said: Beauty and richness have never been unified. The big mining area is rich with remnants of mountains and water, and Dongchagou Village is beautiful but not rich.Zhuzi said: With a big factory, our town of Yingying will be rich.Bring a lamp and say: If you are rich, will you not be beautiful?
Zhuzi was stunned, she understood what the lamp said, and said: The secretary said that the big factory is a circular economy, do you know the circular economy?Bring the lamp and say: I don't know.Bamboo said: Even you don't know? !Someone yelled sharply: "Oh, isn't this the director with the lamp?"Bring the lights, bring the lights, why are you here? !Bamboo said: Who is this?Bring a lamp and say: This is six catties.Liu Jin ran down from the side of the hill, spitting on the palm of his hand and wiping his head while running, a piece of dirt under his feet rolled down first.
I always love to enjoy the blue sky and white clouds on the withered yellow sandy slopes, and the smell of cool frost in my breath.I walked back and wanted to bask in my buttocks and then rested my eyes. The sun was shining brightly, and it bumped my gaze back.Is this meaningful, warm and fragrant Chunyang like a jade stove? I would like to melt into your heart, is it a fire stove? I would like to be a solid dry firewood.If it's a magic mirror, you suck me up.The sun really takes possession of the character but also belongs to the character.
The bees were buzzing, the birds were making noises, and an old farmer on the ditch who spoke only half a language would yell nonsense from time to time by the side of the rock, like the chirping of a strange bird in the woods.On the slopes of Nao, in patches of land hidden by the greenery, someone is bending over to plant sweet potato seedlings.There is no wind today, but the forecast calls for showers tomorrow.People here live on the ground like a corn or flax.The regular sound of an airplane announces the existence of the world outside.I am a little nervous, like a restless ghost in the mountains in fantasy, startled by the wind and grass outside, always thinking about what you are doing now, research, inspection, meeting, or writing at your desk.Do you still wear glasses when writing at your desk, and sometimes raise your head and fumble for a cigarette?I just took a look and walked closer, hugged you and touched your hand, then drifted away.Make you a knowing smile.You start smoking cigarettes, taking puffs and exhaling puffs, enjoying the process.There are many things in life that can be enjoyed without being in the heart. I, I miss you at sunrise and go back to you. I think about you in the wind. I think about it. I think about it. I think about it. I think about it. I think about it. I think about it. Smoking cigarettes is not sad but happy.Are you happy when I say this? You are already my god. I want to take this idea as my belief and real assumption. I don’t want to be a real existence. It has nothing to do with you. In this way, I can relax and be able to Let go of you, and I can be a little bit wilder in my life.
Liu Jin took a ladder and went up to the roof to get the soft persimmons. She said that the persimmons at other people's homes were all broken, but hers were fine, and they were reserved for you.But she scolded the crow loudly on the roof, and the crow ate all the soft persimmons, and threw the half-picked rotten persimmons down one by one, all over the courtyard.She was going to boil poached eggs again with a lamp and bamboo. The stove was lit, and she went to the chicken coop to catch the chicken, wiped her fingers in the chicken's buttocks, and then scolded: Don't you have any eggs? Are you pretending to lie in the chicken coop for me? !She looked embarrassed, and it was even more embarrassing with the lamp and bamboo, saying: Just drink boiling water, drink boiling water!Liu Jin said: You have to put sugar in the boiling water!When the boiling water was brought out, she pinched a pinch of sugar, she didn't want it with the lamp, what could she do, she forcefully sprinkled it in the bowl, dipped her finger in the boiling water after sprinkled it.
Later, Liujin helped to collect eggs in the village, and asked repeatedly: Do you want soil?Bring a lamp and say: It must be soil!Liu Jin said: You public family, those who marry a daughter-in-law need matches, those who wear clothes need matches, and those who eat eggs want dirt!Bring a lamp and say: It must be the one that has not been stepped on by a rooster.Liu Jin said: My God, who wants to eat this, you are so tricky!He turned his butt and went out.Bring a lamp and bamboo to drink boiled sugar water in the house, bamboo said: look at you old man!Bring lights just laugh.At this time, crying and cursing came from the side of the ditch, and the two of them came out to see that it was a quarrel between two families next to each other up and down a ridge.There were some persuading people nearby, but the persuasion didn't work at all, so they all sat down and watched the excitement. When they saw the lights and bamboos coming, they said, "Oh, the government is here!"
They explained the reason to Bring the Lamp: the two families had been quarreling over the land for several years, and there was a quarrel five days ago, and they only said that it was time to rest for ten and a half months, and they made a noise again without thinking.The daughter-in-law above used to be the leader of the women's group, and her husband is a scale with no stars. No matter what happens, the daughter-in-law dominates the house and takes up space with her words.The daughter-in-law below was discovered because her parents arranged the marriage back then, and she was sleeping with another lover. She has been discriminated against at home after getting married.There was a quarrel just now, the daughter-in-law above slapped the daughter-in-law below in the face, but the man of the daughter-in-law below did not help, the daughter-in-law below hit her head against the wall and was held back, only a blood bag was hit on her forehead .With the lights on, I went to the upper house to persuade her. The daughter-in-law said that the lower house took up more land. Of course she wanted to make a fuss. She was scolding the man of that house. If the man resisted, she would come out and scold him for stealing a man. daughter in law.She said that she has a heart disease, and it's not enough to mention it: look at my mouth!Her mouth was black and blue.With a lamp, I saw that this was a difficult matter, but I was a member of the town government, and I couldn't ignore it when it happened, so I said: I will tell the village chief about the landside dispute and let him handle it fairly.As for you, don't beat the mother of the family below in front of the son, otherwise the consequences will be serious.The daughter-in-law said: Is her son going to beat me?She has a son and I have a son. Although my son is small, my three nephews are as tall as a wall!Bring the lamp and say: Even if the son doesn't do anything, something big will happen. The daughter-in-law below is too introverted. You let her throw herself off a cliff and hang herself? !The daughter-in-law said: You are afraid of her death, but you are not afraid of my death?When you bring the light on, it will be on fire, and say: I will tell you how to say it, why can't you wake up?Let me tell you, I am warning you in the name of the town government, don't make trouble anymore, if you make trouble again, it will be your fault!After speaking, he pulled the bamboo and returned to Liujin's house.
After scaring her with a lamp, the daughter-in-law really stopped scolding her.Bamboo said to Dai Deng: You can still speak foul language!I laughed with the lamp and said: Make me angry!Bamboo said: These women really eat hard but not soft.Bring the lamp and say: There must still be trouble, so I can only get out of here.
Liu Jin came back with ten eggs in his pocket, and asked: Why can't I hear the noise anymore?Bamboo said: You didn't catch up to watch the excitement? !Liu Jin said: I'm too lazy to go, what day didn't we quarrel?If you don't listen to the noise, there is a booming sound in your ears.Bring the lamp and say: You just bought these eggs?Liu Jin said: Someone will come and deliver it later.
Sure enough, thirteen women came one after another, all in black, with long jackets and short trousers, and they all carried wild eggs in their breasts or handkerchiefs.After weighing it, it was a full 30 catties. After paying, I packed it in a bamboo basket with a layer of wheat straw and a layer of eggs, and said with a lamp: Thank you!They just giggled and said: Thank you too?What are you doing to thank us after receiving the money? !One of them was red-eyed, kept looking at the lamp, and said: This government is kind!One with a pouty mouth, his gums showed when he spoke, said: He is a director.The red-eyed one was embarrassed for a while, and said: Are you the director?Zhuzi said: The director of the comprehensive management office of the town government.Liu Jin said: My old buddy!Pouting his lips, he said: Acting Director?Liu Jin said: Director!Red-eyed said: And this young director?Is there no evil spirit on you?Liu Jin said: Do you think all the cadres are Lord Ma with three eyes?I told you, my old buddy is very nice, don't you want to tell her something, you say.The red-eyed person blinked a dozen times, felt a little embarrassed, and said: Acting Director, I heard you are in charge of subsistence allowances?Dai Deng said: My name is Dai Deng, and the village chief must report the subsistence allowances. If the conditions are met, the town government can approve it.The red-eyed one suddenly burst into tears.Liu Jin said: Why are you crying, why are you crying, you are still crying when you are about to go blind!
The red-eyed girl finally stopped crying, and only then did she tell the lamp about her panic.She spoke very long-winded, out of order, and kept repeating. Liujin and twelve other women helped her explain the matter clearly, and she finally understood it with the lamp.The man in her family went to work in the big mining area ten years ago. When he went there, he was a tall man. He could eat five rice cakes and drink two bowls of rice soup for a meal. Hu Ji was not tired after playing all night.He earned money in the big mining area and was planning to build a house when he came back, but he bought all the bricks and tiles, but he fell ill.What I got was a strange disease, the air I inhaled was less and the air I exhaled was more.On the slope behind the village, people used to herd cows, and people ran faster than cows; when they got sick, they dragged the cows by their tails, and had to sit down to rest after walking less than ten steps.I went to the town health center to see a doctor, and I also went to the county hospital. It was said that it was a lung disease caused by inhaling ore powder.I stayed in the hospital for one month, but the cure was not good, and the cost was too high, so I bought medicine and gave myself injections when I came back.She woke up several times in the middle of the night to try on the man's nose. She was afraid that when the man would lose his breath, it passed.After a few years, I sold all the bricks and tiles to build the house, and half of my belongings.Now she wants to prepare coffins and tombs for men early, but she has no money to buy coffins and tombs, and the mice are so poor that they don't come to the door.The man said to her: When I die, throw me on the back mountain ridge and feed it to the wolves!
With a lamp, she listened to the red-eyed people crying and complaining to her. She thought that many people who worked in the big mining area, especially those who went down the mine, had already suffered from this disease, and there were petitioners in other villages, but she didn’t I know that there are such patients in Dongchagou Village!Bring a lamp and say: What is your name?Red-eyed said: "My name is Wang Fuwa."Alas, the name is Youfu, what blessing is there, I haven't even eaten a bite of tofu in half a year.Bring a lamp and say: Why haven't I seen you go to the town government to report it?Wang Fuwa said: Having this blind disease, is it ashamed to talk about it outside? !Dai Deng said: As far as I know, if you get this disease, the big mining area will have to pay for it.
After bringing up the lamp and saying this, the other twelve women gathered around and said: You said that you will compensate?Can you compensate us? !Bring a lamp and say: You, your family also has this kind of patient?They said: Our men all went to work together in the big mining area at that time, and all of them got sick when they came back. Three of them died, and ten were lying down. No one knew what was going on, and they were panicked. They were all afraid of whose turn it would be to die next.Bamboo said: Is this true?They said: If you talk nonsense, you will be struck by lightning!Can you come to see the patient?A few days ago, a man came from the town street and said that this matter needs to be sued. If he does not sue, no one will take care of him. He will sue for us. Each family will pay 200 yuan, and he will be responsible for suing. The relief money is just 2,000 yuan for each household.Bring a lamp and say: He still draws money?Are you from the town government? What's your name?They said: thin tall man, what is his name?Liu Jin said: "The surname is Wang, what kind of offspring is it?"Bamboo said: "Is the queen born?" !Take eyes to see with lights.Bring a lamp and say: The queen's hand has reached here!Zhuzi said: That's a bad guy, who specializes in petitioning for others to make money. Don't let him sue. It won't work if he sues. Instead, he will ruin the matter.The higher authorities stipulate that petitions are counted on the basis of local cases. If a case from the large mining area reaches Ying Township, the large mining area will secretly laugh. If the town leader is angry, who can implement it? !The thirteen women were all stunned and looked at each other in blank dismay.Pouting her lips, she complained about the pockmarked face, saying: You told the queen about it.With a pockmarked face, he said: How do I know he is a bad person? I want to know that I can still give him a pack of fungus?Don't you cook for him too?Pouting his lips, he said: Count me as feeding the pigs.They will not be allowed to argue with the lamp, saying: In the future, if you have difficulties, find a party member, and if you have a problem, find a branch. Don't listen to others to interfere.Liu Jin said: This was written at the door of the village office. There are only three party members in Dongchagou Village. One went out to work, and the other was a girl married. The village head is the party secretary, and the party secretary is also the village head. He said: Whoever sucks will wipe it off.Bamboo said: What are you talking about, I will go to the village chief!He waved his hand with a lamp, and said: I will report this matter for you, and contact the big mining area in the name of Ying Town, and Wang Housheng must not be allowed to intervene.He also said: It may be possible to solve it in the name of the town government, but if the queen is born to sue, you will lose your money, and the matter will not be done.Do you understand?Thirteen women said: Then we will look for you!How can I find you?Bring the lamp and say: See this girl clearly, her name is Zhuzi, and she will come to organize materials for you.Regarding the subsistence allowance, I think not only Wang Fuwa, but you are all qualified. Let the village head report it, and Zhuzi will also be responsible for contacting the village head.Besides, if you can't find me, just look for Liujin, and Liujin can be found.Liu Jin said: You see, my old man is very nice!Wang Fuwa suddenly groaned and said, "My God, I met a Bodhisattva!"All twelve women said: Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva!They regretted that the native eggs took the money, and even felt that the scale was too high and the scale was too low when they weighed it, so they had to return the money to Dai Deng.Of course, they disagreed with the lamp, and they said: This is impossible.Bring a light and say: make, make.Send them away.
Liu Jin seemed to be catching a cold, and kept wiping her nose. When she wiped her nose, she either wiped it on the tree or the wall, or rubbed it on the lapel. She wanted to keep the lamp and bamboo for dinner. Jing is delicious, squeeze out one and let the light taste it.With the light on, I asked Zhuzi if he would eat or not, and Zhuzi said: No, no, let’s go back to the town when it gets dark.Liu Jin didn't want to keep them any longer, but he had to send them a journey.
Along the way, Zhuzi was still lamenting the pity of the thirteen women.Liu Jin said that the lives of women in Dongchagou Village were not good, and none of the married families had a happy life, and nine out of ten girls went out to work and married themselves outside, and seven of them never came back. Said that three had died of illness.There are even more pitiful people in the village. The daughter-in-law of the Hougounao family is a follow-up. The man drinks all day long, but he can't drink good wine. He buys some alcohol on the town street and mixes it with water. When he gets drunk, he always beats her. Half of the face is always blue.The year before last, the man drank too much and beat her with a knife, but she suffocated the man to death with a shovel in a hurry.As soon as she was arrested, her elder brother and sister-in-law came to take care of the children, and the first divorced daughter-in-law asked for the key and drove them away.The ex-wife also left a daughter.Now the daughters of the two families are in prison, and the mother's family has to raise two young daughters, and the daughters of the family live with the children in the mother's house.Both parents are honest and clumsy, and they can't say a word.
Liu Jin's words weighed heavily on Dai Deng and Bamboo's hearts, and when they turned over a beam, Liu Jin was not allowed to give it away.Bring the lamp and say: My legs are a little weak, let's sit for a while.Bamboo said: Sit down for a while.
In the evening, people in Dongchagou Village began to cook dinner. Looking from the beams, there was smoke here and there in the up and down ditches.Bring a lamp and say: Bamboo, have you seen the smoke?Bamboo said: "Long up the woods behind the house and the gate house."With the light on, he didn't speak again.Bamboo said: Why do you ask about smoke?Bring a lamp and say: The women in this village are like smoke coming out of a chimney, some of them will disperse when encountering wind and rain, and some of them will be able to climb higher if they are lucky, but no matter how high they are, the dust and smoke are not white clouds.
The little brother-in-law who changed the cloth, Qiao Hu, fried fish in the river, filled the bottle with kerosene, plugged the fuse, lit it and threw it into the pool. The oil bottle exploded in the pool, and the fish floated up.In the morning, eight oil bottles were thrown out, and a carp weighing twelve catties and six perch weighing one or two catties were fried up.It happened that Bai Renbao passed by and said: "There is such a big fish, which indicates that Yingzhen Town will develop greatly. I will report to the leader."I took the fish back to the town government compound, and even the white-haired dog barked for a long time with excitement.But Aunt Liu in the kitchen doesn't know how to cook fish, so she brought a lamp and said: I will show my skills!It was like peeling a sheep, picking out the fish bones, chopping the meat like stuffing, boiled a big pot of soup, and everyone drank a bowl.With the light on, the sea bass was fried like chicken wings, colored with sugar, and the sweet and sour fish was stewed.The big carp has more than two catties of fish roe, which is not delicious when cooked. With the light on, mix shredded radish with egg flour, and then stir in the fish roe to make croquettes.Bai Renbao said: Let's eat fish like pork!Bring a lamp and say: Don't the township cadres use women as men and men as cattle and horses? !The oil was still heating up in the pot, and Liu Huiqin from the grocery store said something might happen to Fan Kurong from Heiyingwo Village!
Fan Kurong is also an old man with lights.Seven years ago, Heiyingwo Village was hit by mudslides. When the village party secretary reported the disaster and asked for relief, he counted her three firewood sheds that had already collapsed, but did not count her two destroyed kitchens.She thought she had a quarrel with the village party secretary's wife, and the village party secretary deliberately retaliated against her, so she petitioned the town government.She doesn't speak when she petitions, she just cries, and she still cries when she wakes up after being strangled after crying.I went to Heiyingwo Village several times with a lamp to understand the actual situation, and gave her 5,000 yuan in relief.Fan Kurong was grateful for the lamp. Every time he went to the market in the town street, he would either carry a basket of schisandra or half a bag of Tangdi fruit, never empty-handed.One year, I dug up an extra-large yam wrapped in clothes, and brought the yam to Liu Huiqin with a lamp. Liu Huiqin later said that the yam was very old, probably a hundred years old, and the juice was sticky when cut with a knife. Can't pull it out.Dai Deng also introduced Fan Kurong to Liu Huiqin. From then on, the two of them kissed like sisters, and they communicated more than Dai Deng.
Liu Huiqin said: Fan Kurong might have an accident!Bring a lamp and say: What's wrong, what can happen to an honest man?Liu Huiqin said: She can't do it!Bring a lamp and say: Why can't you do it?Liu Huiqin said: She is going to die!With a lamp and a broom sweeping the dust outside the gate of the Comprehensive Management Office, I was shocked and said: Is it her disease?I glanced at the spider web, the spider web was still there, but I didn't see the human-faced spider.With the light on, it slammed on the ground.Because of the election in Heiyingwo Village years ago, I went to visit Fan Kurong with a lamp. She was sick at the time, and asked what was wrong. Fan Kurong said that her lower body was always unclean, and she had to go to the town hospital with a lamp. Check, check, Fan Kurong said women, no one can suffer from this disease, and it will be fine after a while.He wanted to see it with the lamp, but Fan Kurong twitched it for a long time before letting him see it. With the lamp on, he criticized how he could use such dirty rotten cotton repeatedly, so he gave Fan Kurong the sanitary napkin in his bag and promised Fan Kurong Rong came to the town again, and she bought a basket of sanitary napkins for Fan Kurong.Now, a basket of sanitary napkins hasn't been delivered yet, why can't Fan Kurong just say no?
Liu Huiqin sighed that people are so fragile. Fan Kurong fell asleep half a month ago. She went to see her yesterday. She fell into a coma and woke up for a while. She got up and drank half a bowl of rice soup. Wake up, being able to drink rice soup may be a flashback.Liu Huiqin said: I guess it won't be today or tomorrow, we are all old buddies, you go and see her.Bring a lamp and say: If you want to see it, go and see it.
Dai Deng stopped making meatballs and had to leave. It happened that Zhuzi was going to Dongchagou Village to collect materials from the homes of patients with lung disease, so he asked Dai Deng to take her to Liangchakou Village on a motorcycle, and then she walked to Dongchagou Village.With the lamp on, Zhuzi was ordered to take one thousand yuan from the relief fund, and she went to bring it to Fan Kurong.Distributing relief clothes and flour, the Comprehensive Management Office can make its own decisions, but the distribution of relief funds requires the signature of the mayor. The mayor is not there, and Zhuzi is in trouble, saying: Does this make it?Bring a lamp and say: Fan Kurong is a poor household, and he is about to die, why can't he do it?My director is using power for personal gain, and I will do it once!Bamboo said: That's good!He actually took 1,500 yuan.
Liangchakou Village is actually eight miles away. The reason why it is called Liangchakou is that Heiyingwo Village is five miles up from the ditch on the left, and Dongchagou Village is five miles up from the ditch on the right.She took the bamboo directly to Dongchagou Village by motorbike with lights, and then she returned to Liangchakou Village to Heiyingwo Village.When we parted, I told Zhuzi to wait for her in Liangchakou Village at five o'clock on time.
When we arrived at Heiyingwo Village, we had to go to the back room mother-in-law's house with the lamp. The back room mother-in-law was not there, and a large number of old men were chopping firewood in the yard.I didn’t want to care about Hailiang with the lamp, but I also thought that the villagers always chattered and wanted to watch the fun. Now that I’m back, I also want to support my mother-in-law in the back room. Besides, Hailiang is also an old man, so I let Hailiang take her to Fan Kurong. Home.Walking outside the courtyard of Fan Kurong's house, a person was knocking on the door, but he couldn't open it and shouted: Gou Dan, Gou Dan!Hailiang said: This is Fan Kurong's brother-in-law, so I won't go.Hailiang must have conflicts with this uncle, so he didn't force him to bring the lamp, so he went over to say hello to his uncle.
Of course the younger uncle also knew Dai Deng, and said: Ah, you also come to see my sister-in-law!Bring a light and ask why the courtyard door is closed, what about the son and daughter-in-law?My brother-in-law told me that after his brother passed away, the family's life has not been relaxed.The son is too honest and incompetent, so he finally worked part-time in a large mining area to earn money and came back. Last autumn, his daughter-in-law got esophageal cancer, and she is still in the county hospital.As soon as his sister-in-law fell asleep, his son couldn't take care of both ends. Yesterday, his daughter-in-law was going to undergo chemotherapy for the fourth time, so he sent his son to the hospital to take care of his wife.After all, my sister-in-law is old, so he just helps to take care of her at home.Bring a lamp and say: Why did things come together? !The uncle said: I am already sixty, do I still have to serve my sister-in-law!The courtyard door opened, and it was Fan Kurong's grandson who opened the door, only six or seven years old.The uncle said: Why don't you open the door?The child said: I fell asleep lying on the edge of the Kang.The uncle said: This is the director of the town government, and he came to see your mother-in-law.The child didn't say a word, and went back to the mansion, and walked straight up to the upper room with the lamp on. She knew that Fan Kurong's bedroom was the one at the head of the upper landlord.
As soon as he entered, the room was empty. Fan Kurong was lying on the kang, covered with a quilt, facing in, only a pile of gray hair, like a nest of thatch.The little uncle leaned over and called: Sister-in-law!sister in law!Can't wake up.The uncle said: You are here, she should respond.Also called: Sister-in-law!sister in law!Director Lamp is here to see you!He also leaned over with a lamp and called: "Old man!"Old boy!Fan Kurong remained motionless, but suddenly his eyelids opened and then closed again.The uncle said: She opened her eyes, she knew.I called again with the light on, but there was no response.Tears flowed down with the lamp on, feeling that the old man was desolate, she could die at any time, and there was no one to take care of her.Bringing the lamp to tuck the quilt for Fan Kurong, she found that her knees were as high as her head, and asked why she curled up like this?My brother-in-law said that she would stay in this position as soon as she fell asleep, and she would have to stretch out when she died in the future, or she would not be buried.Bring a lamp and say: Then no one will guard here anymore!The uncle said: I have come to see it every noon these days, and I told my grandson, once your mother-in-law kicks her legs and her throat sounds, come and call me.I'm afraid I'm going to make it through tonight, I have to be here.Bring a lamp and say: don't make the windows tighter.My brother-in-law said, "It's not cold. After she fell asleep, she was always hot. She could move a few days ago, and she couldn't cover the quilt. She fell off the kang a few times. I blocked the edge of the kang with a chair."Standing there with the lamp on, I don't know what to say any more, so I focus on it.The furnishings in the room are still the same as when she came here before, but a few pieces of the wall covering have come off again, the two thumbtacks on the top of the New Year painting have fallen off, and the bottom thumbtacks are still there, so they turned over and hung down.The unique cabinet is covered with a finger-thick dust, and there is still a pair of photo frames. In the photo frame, there are family photos, husband photos, grandson photos, and a photo taken with a lamp and Fan Kurong in front of Liu Huiqin's grocery store. , Fan Kurong was smiling, and his teeth looked very long.With a lamp, I handed over 1,500 yuan to my brother-in-law, saying that it was a relief from the government, and that I could no longer eat or drink, so I bought more hemp paper and burned it.The uncle said: With so much money to buy paper to burn, my sister-in-law will have a hard time in the underworld!Tears flowed down again when I walked out the door with the light on.
The child came to open the courtyard door again, but still did not speak.Bring the lamp and suddenly said: When will your father come back?The child shook his head.Bring a lamp and say: Your father is back, and he said that the government gave you 1,500 yuan for your young master to keep.The uncle said: Don't worry, I don't dare to give this money to my nephew.
On the north slope of the road from Heiyingwo Village to Liangchakou Village, there is an old temple that is about to collapse, and there is a monk in the temple.The incense in the temple is bleak, and the monks are lazy. The withered wormwood inside and outside the temple is half the height of a person, and the cows are flying and can bite people through their clothes.Six years ago, there were forest rangers in the forest, and an old man named Zhang also lived in the temple.Forest guard Zhang only said that if he lived in the monastery, he would have a companion to talk to, but the monks always sat there and spoke preciously, so forest guard Zhang came back from the forest ranger on the mountain to eat and drink.He can eat six steamed buns for a meal, and a pot of pumpkin and mung bean soup, but he is sallow and emaciated, skinny and boneless.The monk told others that Lao Zhang was a starving ghost.
Monks can see ghosts. Some people in Heiyingwo Village say so, and people in Liangchakou Village also say so.It was said that the monk was going out in the dark, and he was walking fast, and he could hear him yelling loudly, which was because he let the kid carry him away.But the monk believed that forest guard Zhang was a starving ghost, and people were a little puzzled: ghosts always appear at night, invisible, and guard Zhang is obviously a human being, so how could he be a starving ghost?The monk said: ghosts have living ghosts.
The monk often sat at the gate of the temple and watched the people passing by on the road down the hillside. He could recognize which one was a human and which was a ghost.
On this day, forest guard Zhang went to the back mountain to collect dry firewood, and the monk sat in front of the temple and watched the road down the hillside.At that time the sun was slanting to the west, the shadow of the mountain lay on the road, and the air was very cold. There were many living ghosts on the road, some walking east and west, all with lowered brows and eyes, silent, as if shrinking their heads.There are also people who ride bicycles with one palm and cover their mouth and nose with the other hand, but they cannot cover the white mist from their mouths and noses.There were also those who pedaled tricycles, and rattled past like a protest.There were even people in red coats who climbed up those electric poles. They were electricians, cursing, that virtue really ruined a touch of red.Hearing bang bang, he thought it was a woodpecker. When he turned his neck to look, it turned out that an old man, of course also a ghost, had chopped a big poplar tree knot in the soil, took off his old cotton jacket, and was still smoking a cigarette.
Afterwards, a motorcycle got off, and there were people sitting on the motorcycle, and all the ghosts on the road disappeared, and after the motorcycle passed, the bustle and bustle resumed.
Bamboo arrived at Liangchakou Village ahead of time, and stood on the riverside outside the village entrance to wait for the lights to be brought on.This is the confluence of the small rivers of the left and right ditches. There are many cherry trees and colorful fallen leaves. Bamboo sits down and looks through the materials he got. He wants to bring a lamp and see it and say: Do you read the scriptures with flowers? !But when he came with the lamp, he didn't appreciate it, and his face was ashen.She reported the content of the materials she had brought, but she didn't pick up the materials with the lamp on, and sat on the ground with her buttocks.Bamboo took out a handkerchief to let the lighted mat, but the lighted did not mat.Zhuzi then scolded the queen for going to Dongchagou Village alive, threatening to let the town cadres pay for the compensation, it would not be possible in ten or eight lifetimes, only the petition, and the petition would be disturbed.Still silent with the lights on.Zhuzi knew that the lamp must be grieving for her old buddy, so she stopped talking about work, had nothing to say, and wanted to divert the emotions of the lamp, and said, "Oh, look at those three cherry trees, from root to root. The tops are full of flowers, are the cherry blossoms in the mountains whiter than those in the town streets?With the lights on, I looked across the river, and there were three dilapidated houses. There were three cherry trees blooming strangely and dazzlingly white at the door.With a light on, it suddenly called: Two cats, two cats!The second cat must have heard it, but didn't respond, and bent its head down so much that it wanted to get into its crotch.Zhuzi said: Ermao is from Liangchakou Village?With a lamp, he picked up a lump of soil and threw it over. The soil lump bloomed on Ermao's left shoulder.The second cat raised its head and said, "Call me?"Bring a light and say: Call a dog? !The second cat said: You don't buy pheasant, what do you ask me to do?Bring the lamp and say: Come here, I call you to come here!
The second cat raised his head, went down the slope in front of the door, and came over the stone column in the river, still asking: What's the matter?Bring the lamp and say: It's okay, you can go.The second cat said, "I'm going to the grave to clean up the hoe, but you called me over and said I'm fine?"Bring a lamp and say: I thought I couldn't move you!The second cat turned around and walked back, muttering: The government is powerful!He listened with a lamp, but suddenly asked Zhuzi: What did he say?Bamboo said: He said that you bully others with your power and play tricks on him.Bring the lamp and say: What else did he say?Zhuzi said: He said he was going to the grave, but you called him over and said it was all right.With the lights on, he called again: Come here, come here again!The second cat stood on the column of stones and refused to come over.Bring the lamp and yell again: Come here!The second cat finally came over.Bring a lamp and say: Go to the mountain and dig four nests of orchids for me!The second cat said stiffly this time: I won't dig it.
Before Ermao hunted pheasants, he used to dig orchids on the mountain to sell, and the villagers brought lights to report him, but Ermao was an orphan, and his life was difficult. If he could sell some money, let him dig.But the second cat didn't win, and sold it to others for three yuan per litter. The head of the county bank went to the mountains on Sundays to play and wanted to buy orchids, but he charged others ten yuan.The president asked why he sold him ten yuan for three yuan, and the second cat said, do you have any money for the small sleeping car you are riding in?The president became angry and went back to the county to report that someone in Ying Town was digging up orchids and destroying the vegetation in the forest.There is indeed a provision in the Mountain Forest Protection Law that you can't dig orchids on the mountain. As a result, someone came to investigate and fined two cats and three hundred yuan.The second cat had no money, so he said: You search the house, and if you find 300 yuan, you take it!This matter has been filed again, and Ermao was arrested and imprisoned for three months.
Bring a lamp and say: I asked you to dig, go!The second cat was still puzzled and did not move.
With a lamp, he took out twenty yuan from his pocket, wrapped it in a small stone, and threw it by the river.The second cat jumped over the row of stones, picked up the money, and did not open the small stones. He lifted up the jacket and put it in his shirt pocket, and then flattened the jacket.The whole movement was extremely fast, and before the bamboo could be seen clearly, he lifted his head to the bank and went up the slope.But he pulled the lamp back and asked again: Do you know about Queen's birth?The second cat said: I don't know.Bring a lamp and say: Has a tall man entered Dongchagou Village in recent days?The second cat said: I don't know.Bring a lamp and say: You only know how to eat!The second cat said: You didn't say anything to let me know!Staring at Ermao with a lamp, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: I want to provide you with a subsistence allowance this year, forget it!Bending down to wipe the mud on the motorcycle, Ermao went into the forest.
A dog ran down the river, stood on the big bluestone to drink water, choked on it, and sneezed.
Bamboo is curious, why does Ermao dig orchids?With the lamp on, she said that she had just heard Ermao talk about going to the grave, and she suddenly remembered that tomorrow would be Qingming, Yuan Tianming could not come back, and the town government should go to the ancestral grave for others.Bamboo said: Oh, was it arranged by the mayor?The town government turned to Yuan Tianliang for everything, so they had to do something for them.Bring a lamp and say: The mayor, can that pig brain think of this? !Speaking of pig brains, Zhuzi said that the people in the town government are all pig brains. They are busy filling holes all day long, but they are filling more and more holes. When they have some free time, they play chess when they are not drinking. Scolding mother-in-law loudly!Look at the bamboo and smile with the light on.Bamboo said: I didn't swear.Bring a lamp and say: You spit into the sky.Zhuzi spat into the sky, and the saliva landed on his face again. Zhuzi oh, and said, "You mean I'm scolding myself too?" !
The two were still talking, but when they turned their heads, Ermao hid behind a tree like a thief, looking this way.Ask with a light: Have you dug?The second cat said: I want to tell you about the subsistence allowance.Bring a lamp and say: Have you dug the orchid?The second cat said: I recognize the queen's birth.Bring a lamp and say: You must recognize it?Ermao said: Every time he goes to Dongchagou Village, he passes by me to beg for boiling water.Bring a lamp and say: Is he looking for those who suffer from lung disease?The second cat said: I don't know about this, I really don't know.Bring the lamp and say: I will give you a task, pay attention every day to see if the queen is born... The second cat said: Then I have a minimum living allowance?Bring the lamp and say: I will let the village chief also report you, and I can't decide whether it will succeed in the end.The second cat said: Director, you can make a decision.Bring the lamp and say: I can't decide.The second cat said: You can appoint the director, you have to, I sit at the door every day to watch out for the queen.The cherries are ripe, let me pick a basket for you first!带灯说：他再出现就立即报告我。把头发理理，别拍出照片像个罪犯似的！二猫说：拍照片？ !竹子说：让你拍照片，你说能干啥？二猫想了想，哇地蹦了个老高，转身从树后提了四丛兰花。
小鸟叫得好听，听者心中欢喜，自由的欢唱自在的翔飞，是行者求之梦寐，而我总觉得鸟儿在说：家，家，家。家在哪儿？鸟儿不认树是它的家，虽然它把鸟高高举起。小溪湍急地往前走，寻找家的滋味，它听说大海就是它的家，实际是在骗它哩。自由的生灵没有家，运行是它的心地，飘逸的生命没有家，它的归途是灵魂的如莲愉悦。
抽空又来荒山野地拽菜了，只因心比腿活动得快才跑得这么远。再过五天应该是你的生日吧，我有些坐卧不宁。我想当年王宝钏爱去野地也不一定纯粹是挖野菜。人常说血脉相通，泪腺也是相通，我现在觉得人的眼睛除了看清这个世界外，它也为着流泪，为情而流泪。这些日子心底泛起的真情挚意融化了我那条干枯泪腺里的石头瓦块，今天的眼泪才这么汹涌。曾有昭君拜月和王宝钏跪拜鸿雁，我也在这寂静的山地朝着你的方向跪拜祝寿，祝你福寿绵长，龙入青云。我也像王宝钏一样在人生的路上把许多的背影看作心头至爱。她不屑浮华，寒窑十八载，用怪石硬木顶门挡外界，为自己守一方思念心上人的纯净空间。但当薛平贵登基后她才活十八天。我想这是真的。都说王宝钏薄气，我认为这正是她的深厚之处，是她的心愿，否则薛平贵心头沉重不好驾驶。是的，有时消失是最好的爱。我知道浩瀚是纤纤清泉汇聚而成，天的苍茫是我们每人一口一口气儿聚合而成，所以我要做一滴增海的雨做一粒添山的尘。但还是想凭天边的白云向你遥遥致心。
拽了半篮子兔兔花。我爱极了兔兔花，紫紫的像桐花开在春初季节，我都怀疑我是兔兔花托生的。绒绒的花瓣高高竖起成花墙，如花之庙把花心藏起。即便长成一片也是谁不看谁，而它们自信自强也令人起敬。为什么叫兔兔花，是花瓣像兔耳朵？想是不是兔子太慌张了太心急了拜这种来仔细看看这个世界？或是兔子太灵动了太多情了老天爷惩罚它变成春寒枯草中的一株寂寞花？
清明节在坟地上栽花植树，或在花上树上挂着剪出的白纸带儿，这如同大年三十晚上在门楼上点灯笼一样，彰显着这户人家还旺着，并没死绝。正清明的这个早晨，镇街四周的山坡上，这儿那儿就响起了鞭炮，已经有着许多人，都举着扎了白纸带儿的竹竿，挑着担子，担子里是凉面条，凉面条上浇了香油，还要放一棵洗干净的带红根的菠菜。坟墓分散在各处，每个坟墓前竖着一面碑子。祭坟人永远都能寻到属于自家的那面碑子，跪下来，供献，焚香，分挂纸带儿。这种祭奠是没有悲伤的，所以不哭，孩子们自然也带了他们的风筝在坟前放起来。麦苗刚刚起身，踩着了也不妨碍，但做娘做婆的却尖声在喊：让露水湿裤腿呀？ !
露水打湿着裤腿有什么不好呢？湿软的地里土即便沾在鞋上一个大坨，一边走着一边踢着也是蛮有意思的么。带灯和竹子不可能擀了凉面条带上，她们提了四窝兰花，又在镇街买了鞭炮。买鞭炮的时候，竹子原本要买一挂百十头的小鞭炮，有个响声就是了，带灯却买了八百头的一大盘。买时还问店主：这鞭炮没受潮吧？店主说：没。带灯又问：怎么证明没受潮呢？店主说：你点着一试就证明了。带灯这才意识到自己问得可笑，连竹子也说：姐也有幼稚的时候！带灯就脸脖赤红，不好了意思。竹子说：带上相机，照下照片了让领导寄给元天亮。带灯说：用心祭了，元天亮就会有感觉。竹子说：你今日是咋了，这可能吗？带灯说：你骂那个疯子吧，疯子肯定要打喷嚏的。
山坡下的路上是走着那个疯子。疯子他没有祭坟，拿了个桃木条儿前后左右地抽打，一会儿扑起来一会儿又倒下去，似乎和什么打架。竹子就说：如果有鬼，今日满坡上都是鬼，这疯子打得过来吗？话刚毕，疯子阿嚏阿嚏连打了三个喷嚏，带灯和竹子就都笑了。
栽好了兰花，竹子放鞭炮，带灯说我到樱林里躺会儿，就走进坟后那一片樱树林子里去。带灯喜欢在山坡上睡觉，影响到竹子也喜欢在山坡上睡觉，为这事，镇政府大院的人都笑话综治办的都是树呀草呀转进的。竹子也常想，如果带灯是山上的树呀草呀，那她是树和草之间跑动的什么小兽。现在她没有也到樱树林子里去，鞭炮特别响，她感觉自己是一枚小炮仗蹿上空中，粉身碎骨地快乐了。
太阳在天上狠劲照射到樱树林子里，如雨滴入大海，带灯像坐在水中一样清凉着。从缝隙看到太阳被气晕的样子，感到好笑，喜鹊也落在地上鸡似地闲走闲啄，随时在矮枝上跳跃。带灯和它们都吃着樱花瓣互不干涉，就想她也是棵樱树吗，变异的樱树。
曾经在红堡子村看到毛竹变异的品种，叫做龟竹的，竹杆上歪歪斜斜的嘴节，有的还凸鼓着。她觉得毛竹是大地灵气的外蹿，而樱花是人把自己意念刻意强行地嫁接于树，树只给人芳艳几天然后久久地沉默。那么，天然的樱树应是骨香自放，满身的疤的眉眼是自己想要看的一个方向，而花只是樱的脂粉吧。带灯又在胡思乱想，她为自己的胡思乱想而嘎嘎嘎地笑了。
这笑和着鞭炮声，竹子并没有听到。
从北坡塬刚回到镇街东头，碰着了马连翘，马连翘笑嘻嘻地给带灯打招呼。数年前，马连翘的儿子和人打架，打断了对方腿，经过处理，白仁宝和带灯强行去罚缴了一万元，马连翘从此记恨带灯，见了面待理不理的。突然笑嘻嘻地招呼带灯，带灯有些不习惯，以为这女人笑话她头发凌乱了，沾了花瓣草屑了，或是鞋上沾了泥。她拢了拢头发，跺了一下脚，说：没事吧？
马连翘说：我又不上访，又不要你的低保，我能有啥事？
带灯不高兴了，脸就沉下来，说：哦，还是不让你公公见婆婆？
马连翘是妯娌俩，对公公婆婆都不孝顺，两家先还是一家管待一个老人，后因矛盾激化，互不往来，两个老人也不得见面。带灯偏要哪壶不开揭哪壶，戳马连翘的心窝子。
马连翘说：不是我不让公公见婆婆，是老二家不让婆婆见公公。其实有啥见的！带灯说：你婆婆可是来镇政府哭过几次了，说她有老汉却受活寡。马连翘说：她受活寡？八十多岁人了见着了还能干那事？ !带灯说：这是你晚辈说的话？马连翘说：这话咋啦？我当儿媳几十年了，我不如你会说话？带灯说：马连翘，我可告诉你，你孝敬了你父母，不是别人的父母，但别人会敬重你。你苛刻了你父母，苛刻的又不是别人的父母，但别人就会轻视你！
马连翘瓷在那里，走也不是，不走也不是，正尴尬着，街对面的肉铺子里，元黑眼把半扇猪肉往门前的木架上挂，说：翘，翘，一副心肺你要呀不要？马连翘说：要哩。马连翘赶紧钻进肉铺，提了一副心肺走了。
竹子呸地在地上唾了一口。带灯看着竹子笑。竹子说：你听说过那事没有？带灯说：听过。竹子说：看来是真的。
镇街上早有话说，说马连翘为筹一万元罚款，给元黑眼上美人计，在巷道里对元黑眼说：喂，支书，你也该对群众联系联系么，几时有空，到我家给你说句话。她是一回家就把衣服脱了，平躺在炕上。元黑眼来了敲门，她说：把门带上，不让猫溜进来。元黑眼一进去，庭堂里没人，说：人呢？她说：卧屋里坐。到了卧屋，元黑眼就扑过去乱亲乱揣。她用单子把身子一缠，说：你有个瘿瓜瓜婆娘哩。元黑眼说：我给你钱。她说：多少？元黑眼说：一百。她说：寻你婆娘去！元黑眼说：一千。她说：你打发要饭的？元黑眼说：只要你对我好，五千！她哗地把单子揭了。事后，元黑眼给了五十张一百元，她说以后要来就带货，要硬货，否则没门。
元黑眼重新挂好了猪肉，回头问带灯到哪儿去了，带灯说：上坟了，元黑眼你大方呀！元黑眼说：你娘家婆家都不在镇街上什么坟？带灯说：镇政府替元天亮上坟么。元黑眼说：哟，官做大了，政府也就孝子贤孙了？ !带灯不理他，掉头就走。元黑眼却又说：书记是到省城去了？带灯说：是去了，要签合同哩。元黑眼说：为啥不叫上我？引进大工厂了靠我本家兄弟哩，有好事了却没他本家的人？ !
正说着，一辆大货车轰轰隆隆开过来，车上装着什么机械，副驾驶室里坐着元斜眼。货车一停，元黑眼跑过去，兄弟俩叽咕了一阵，货车顺着街旁的一条斜道往河滩开去了。斜道上有一只鸡，躲不及，差点被碾，嘎嘎地飞起来，落一地鸡毛。有人在喊：碾死鸡呀，碾死鸡呀？ !元斜眼头从驾驶室伸出来，啪地吐一口痰，骂道：碾死了给你赔，喊叫啥？ !那人再没吭声。元黑眼又返回来，给带灯说：我天亮兄弟给樱镇引进个大工厂，我和老二老三老四老五也给樱镇办个小工厂。带灯说：咦，什么小工厂？元黑眼说：沙厂呀！以前咱这儿淘沙都挖个坑儿用网子筛，现在这一套家伙就是洗沙机，连筛带洗，一天顶以前七天的量！带灯说：河堤下那推土机也是你们弄的？元黑眼说：租用的。带灯说：大工厂还没正式启动哩，你就想垄断河里沙了？ !办沙厂那可是有法规手续的。元黑眼说：镇长已答应给我们办的。马连翘把一副心肺提回家后，又站在肉铺门口了，说：猪血呢，我给咱做顿毛血旺！元黑眼对带灯说：毛血旺香哩，你们也留下吃吧。带灯说：给你省下。元黑眼进了肉铺，在说：你咋没个够数，啥下水都要哩？
带灯还立在那里，马连翘又对着她嘻嘻地笑。竹子低声说：你元黑眼就是个下水！见带灯还发愣，说：姐，姐！带灯说：哎。竹子说：咱站在这里让那婆娘笑话呀？拉了带灯走。带灯说：镇长怎么就答应给他办手续？手续还没办就动工呀？ !竹子说：这人脑瓜子也太精明么，真是樱镇保住了风水，元家就尽出人。带灯说：出好人也出恶人！
