with lights 贾平凹 9440Words 2018-03-19
I took lights and bamboo to Jinbuyu Village, walked halfway into a ditch, and saw a cluster of mounds on the slope. The mounds were small, but there were no trees on the entire slope, which was dazzling.It was noon, the sun was shining brightly, no bees were found, but the sound of bees was buzzing, and the ditch was very quiet. Bring the lamp and say: Have you seen those graves? They must belong to a family. People say that there is a place for life and death. They are buried here. It should be said that the graveyard is the acupuncture point where ghosts haunt.They came out of here one after another and became human beings, and after being human, they came back here one by one.

Zhuzi said: That’s not necessarily true. Those buried in Yingzhen are all the ghosts of Yingzhen. There are also people from other places who married and died and buried here. There are also people from Yingzhen who left Yingzhen to work in the city and province. Not necessarily buried back. Bring a lamp and say: the outsiders who can be buried here are the ghosts who came out from here; if they were born here but not buried here, it is the ghosts from far away. Bamboo said: What about Yuan Tianliang?He must be cremated in the city in the future, could he not be from Yingzhen? Bring the lamp and say: Yuan Tianliang must be a ghost here, he was cremated, and the ashes must be buried back, I have this hunch.

Bamboo said: what about us?If we die, we will be buried here? Bring the lamp and say: You can't tell, I may work in the town government until I die, where can I be buried when I die?I'm afraid I'm the ghost here, but I don't know which acupuncture point it is from. I met Liu Huiqin who was selling groceries on the town street, and asked with a light if I hadn't been back to Hongbaozi Village recently?Liu Huiqin said that she didn't go back, and that her son was lazy at the town street school when she went back, but she still had to go back to crack walnuts in a few days.He also asked if you have time with the lamp, go with her and pack a bag of walnuts.

Before I went to Hongbaozi Village with the lights on, it was also the walnut season. The black water for washing walnuts flowed in the ravine, and the water was full of walnuts that fell from the trees beside the water. Every yard was drying walnuts. Everyone talked to you. It is said in the mouth that the walnut green peel will not be returned by mistake.Hongbaozi Village is the place where the most walnuts are produced in Yingzhen. There are not many fungus and shiitake mushrooms there, and the gravel land is not suitable for growing tobacco leaves. Selling walnuts is the main income.However, the population of Hongbaozi Village is booming, and the village is chaotic. There are often four generations in the exclusive house. No matter how difficult life is, the eternal righteous deed is to wholeheartedly support the youngest generation to succeed, and don't hesitate to contribute their family property and old life.Therefore, many children in Hongbaozi Village go to town and street schools. Liu Huiqin's son can't get up in the morning, and when he gets up, he goes to school with a dazed eye.

Liu Huiqin said: Director, when will I take my son to you, and you and Zhuzi will educate him so that he can be a town cadre in the future.Zhuzi said: Don't be a town cadre for anything!Liu Huiqin said: "The town cadres are extravagant!"Bamboo said: What kind of extravagance?Liu Huiqin said: I just love seeing you and the director.Bamboo said: What does it look like?Liu Huiqin said: I can't explain it clearly, look at how well you are dressed.He didn't say a word when he brought the light on, and laughed. The three of them were talking, when Zhu Zhimao and his wife walked up the street.The old couple walked side by side, carrying a cage together, shaking it, shaking it.Inside the basket are dozens of walnuts with green skins.Bamboo whispered: Hey, have the old couple lived together?The old couple said one by one: Slow down.The other is saying: Slow down, too.With lights, I feel that the old man's behavior is touching.Said: If you don't let the old couple get together, it will be a crime.

However, before she finished speaking, Ma Lianqiao rushed out of the shroud and paper tie shop diagonally opposite, and she said sharply to her mother-in-law: Hey, hey!The old woman looked up and saw that it was her daughter-in-law, and said, "I met you!"As soon as the hand was released, the cage tilted, dragging the old man staggeringly, and seven or eight green walnuts rolled on the ground.Ma Lianqiao said: Call you!The old woman said: Oh.Ma Lianqiao said: Did you go to the second child's house again?Who told you to go to his house, so you can't live without the old man? !The old woman said: I didn't go to the second child's house, it was your father who wanted to eat walnuts, so he sent me a message, and I took him to the back slope to pick some of our walnuts.Ma Lianqiao said: Are those walnuts from the second child's family? Why should he live with the second child and eat walnuts from my family?The old woman said, "Did the walnut tree be given to you when the family was separated?"Ma Lianqiao said: You picked walnuts for him, and what else did you give him at home?The old man said: I don't eat, I don't eat!Put down the walnut basket, trembling and leave.Ma Lianqiao came over and took the basket.

With a lamp, he went over and said: Ma Lianqiao, you are too much, put down the walnuts!Ma Lianqiao said: My father is with the second child, what kind of walnuts does my mother give him?Bring the lamp and say: Do you still know how to call them father and mother? !I made them pick the walnuts!Ma Lianqiao said: You let it be picked. Can the people of your town government take care of my family's tree after curettage and abortion?Bring a lamp and say: I will take care of it!Go forward and grab the walnut basket.Ma Lianqiao hugged the basket tightly, and the two pushed and shoved.Dai Deng was not as strong as Ma Lianqiao, but Da Deng was quick. Later, Ma Lianqiao hit her once, and she hit Ma Lianqiao twice.Ma Lianqiao scratched her neck and face, she stretched her hand into Ma Lianqiao's arms and twisted it with hatred.Zhuzi rushed to pull the frame, she hugged Ma Lianqiao, her arms and body, took the opportunity to punch Ma Lianqiao twice in the elbow socket, and snatched the walnut cage.Ma Lianqiao scolded Zhuzi: Are you bragging, you hug me and let her beat me? !Bamboo said: You have no conscience, you still blame me if I fight, stop fighting, let the fight go!Ma Lianqiao kicked over, unexpectedly, her foot was caught by the lamp, and she rushed forward, and Ma Lianqiao fell to the ground.Ma Lianqiao fell to the ground and couldn't get up, shouting, "I've beaten someone!"People from the town government beat people!Bring the lamp and say: I will hit you, you unfilial one!Also pounced forward.Ma Lianqiao turned over and ran into a butcher's shop not far away.

Zhuzi said: She is going to move Yuan Heiyan! A lot of onlookers came by, and they murmured that Ma Lianqiao could still be provoked, and the quiet and beautiful people with the lights on would fight, and they were so quick to fight!This time, they all looked into the butcher shop with their eyes and said, "Is Qianyuan black-eyed?"Really moved Yuan black eyes? ! Zhuzi immediately picked up half a brick from the ground and held it in his hand. Feeling bad, he threw the brick away. Liu Huiqin muttered to the side to call the woman with black eyes, and then patted the dirt on his hands and said loudly: : All right, anyone can be moved, and let his black eyes come out!

But Yuan Heiyan didn't come out, and there was a sound of pigs being killed in the backyard of the butcher shop. The next day, the town government gave the employees monthly subsidies. Before they could bring the lamps and bamboo to collect them, Liu Xiuzhen came to ask: Why stop the subsidies for the two of you?Zhuzi immediately became popular, asked why our subsidy was stopped, and stopped her with lights, and asked Liu Xiuzhen what happened, Liu Xiuzhen said that you, as government employees, actually fought with the masses in the street, which damaged the image of the town government.Oh, with a light on, she didn't go to receive the subsidy, nor did she go to find the leader, so she asked Bamboo to pick some henna, pounded it in the garlic nest, and made it into mud, and the two of them applied the henna on it. on the nails.

There must be a leader coming, and sure enough, the mayor came, and the mayor said he was here to do ideological work. The mayor said: You two seem unconvinced?Bring the lamp and say: After selling us, we need to help count the money, right?The mayor said: But you got into a fight!Bring the lamp and say: It was a fight, this is the second fight since I came to Yingzhen.The first one was to occupy land for road construction. Others besieged you. I went and pushed some people, and the bamboo was spat on the face.The mayor said: Don't talk about what happened last time.Bring the lamp and say: This time Ma Lianqiao is not filial and bullies the elderly, should she be taught a lesson?What's more, she did it first, look at my neck!The mayor said: "Everyone knows that Ma Lianqiao is not a good guy, but what is your identity, you have a hundred reasons, and once you make a move, you don't have a reason. He came to the secretary with a lamp... He took a lamp and said: He is a black eye." Still have the face to find a secretary?Why didn't the secretary ask him why Yuan Heiyan spoke to Ma Lianqiao?The mayor said: My dear sister, don't make trouble again, quietly.The secretary got angry and wanted to punish you. It was because of my accommodation that I canceled your subsidies.There is no subsidy for this month, and I will find a way to make it up for you in other ways in the future.Bring a lamp and say: I wonder if you love me?You go, I don't want you to do ideological work, I can't go hungry without subsidy this month, and I can survive even if all wages are deducted!The mayor said: You didn't have such a temper before, why did you become like this now?Bamboo said: What kind of environment does not allow people to have a temper?The mayor said: Don't interrupt, if you didn't interfere, would things have gone this far?Zhuzi remained silent, still applying her henna mud with the lamp on.The mayor said: You go and do a self-criticism with the secretary, and the matter will be settled. He pays attention to someone who speaks softly to him.Bring the lamp and say: I am a child, if you are beaten by an adult, you still have to tell the adult that you beat me for my own good, right?I will not go!She fell on the bed and pulled the sheet over her head.Bamboo said: Are you sleeping?Oh, then I'll close the curtains.The mayor glared at Zhuzhu before exiting the door.

The subsidy for bringing lights and bamboo was cancelled, and the people in the compound suddenly looked at them strangely, and as long as they looked over, these people immediately smiled politely at them.Dai Deng knew that this was not sympathizing with her and Zhuzi, but mocking.Zhuzi walked over angrily, Bai Renbao said: Are you staring at me?Bamboo said: Who stared at you?Bai Renbao said: You opened your eyes so wide that you didn't stare at me?Bamboo said: My eyes are big! Getting up early in the morning, Zhuzi put on a black shirt, and with a lamp, he said: "That red shirt is so beautiful, have you washed it?"Zhuzi said: Can a black shirt match my mood? I also want to pick a white flower and put it on my chest.Bring a lamp and say: Wear a red shirt!If you have any other bright shirts, just wear them!Bamboo said: Nothing bright.Bring the lamp and say: Let's go to the county town to buy clothes. The fine money is not enough for us to buy a few good clothes? ! With the lights on, I started the motorcycle and the bamboo out of the compound, and the white-haired dog wanted to follow, but I didn’t let the lights go. Deputy Mayor Ma said: Where are you going with the lights?Zhuzi said: Shimen Village has petitioned, so why not go?Deputy Mayor Ma said: "Go, let's go." Wearing lights in Ying Town is the most particular about dressing, but after all, I have stayed in Ying Town for a long time. When I arrived at the county town shopping mall, I felt that I was still a bit rustic, and I realized that it took a lot of effort to learn how to wear fashion like the county people.The two walked around the mall for a long time, picking and choosing, either they felt that none of them were good, or that several of them were good.Later, I ran from one shopping mall to another shopping mall tirelessly, tried on one piece, took it off and tried on another one, but I still didn’t like it. The mirror, so that I can’t recognize the person in the mirror, then I bargain, and I don’t go to eat after the meal time, and I feel dizzy and nauseous, and I vomit in the toilet, so much that I almost spit out my intestines.Finally spent all the money on his body, Zhuzi bought a 200 yuan floral pink shirt, a 160 yuan pair of jeans, a yellow shirt, a hairpin, and a lipstick , there is also a bracelet, the bracelet is made of glass, infused with green, bamboo said: When someone asks, you say it is emerald!I bought more with lights: three tops, two pairs of trousers, a pair of high-heeled shoes, and four pairs of socks, which cost two thousand yuan.Both of them put on new clothes at the moment. Bring a lamp and say: Why don't you wear it for yourself? !Bamboo said: Wear it!Bring a lamp and say: I feel refreshed when I put on new clothes!Bamboo said: Yes! Back at the intersection of Shiqiaohou Village, Ying Township, the two stopped their motorcycles and combed their hair. They wanted to enter the town street with a tidy face. A family not far away creaked and opened the courtyard door. The first person who saw it was amazed, but the first thing that appeared in the courtyard door was not a human head, but a scalper.The two laughed.Suddenly, I felt a chill in the back of my head. Bamboo said it was windy?Look at the chimney with the lights on. The smoke in the chimney is crooked. There is wind, but it is still not the wind that is going to rain. Bringing lamps and bamboos has never been reviewed by the secretary, and he has not even been to the secretary's office for several days.Deputy mayor Ma even gave a tin pot with a lamp to the secretary, and told the secretary that he would like to drink. He liked his pot, so he said that he bought it from the village in Shimen Village and gave it to the secretary.I did not accept tin pots with lights.In fact, after the secretary ordered the cancellation of subsidies for lamps and bamboo, he did not ask to write a review, but the progress of the infrastructure construction of the large factory was very fast, and the construction site was different every day. The great excitement made him almost forget about the lamps and bamboo. . There are many reasons for the smooth construction of the infrastructure, but one of them is that the supply of sand for construction is sufficient.This sand truck continuously transports sand to the construction site. The sand collector collects as much as he transports, loads and measures, and pays on site. The five brothers of the Yuan family are accounted for by the third elder, who counts the tickets every day until his fingers hurt. .They did not expect that the business of the sand factory was so prosperous, and they hired dozens of migrant workers to work on the river beach day and night. The machinery roared, the horns whimpered, the whole river beach was in a mess, and the sidewalk leading to the factory site was dumped There are pits everywhere; the biggest pit is as big as a basket.Migrant workers shifted in three shifts, and some of them went to the fields in the river bank to pick peppers from others, sat on the beach and ate them in steamed buns, and fell asleep on the ground when they were full, while others wore clothes on their shoulders. , A group of three or five went to the town street to drink.Of course, they couldn't sit in the tavern, because the tavern was filled with people from the construction site of the big factory, most of them spoke the barbaric language of the south, wore uniform work clothes, and had food and vegetables, so they just stayed outside the tavern. He drank dryly at the stone table and punched, his voice howling like a wolf.People in the town are talking about: Gou Ri's sand factory is booming, it's not washing sand, it's digging a gold cellar!Someone watched them drink, and went to pick up the wine bottle after drinking, but they took the empty bottle. For Brab and Qiao Hu, his jealousy was bloody, and he hated that he didn't set up a sand factory first and then renovate the old street. Whoever mentioned the Yuan family brothers felt it was a humiliation to himself, and reprimanded: Shut up !When changing cloth and eating jelly at the jelly stand, Ma Lianqiao came over and swung her buttocks, and said, "Ah, changing cloth, you can eat jelly quickly?"Quickly take a stool for the cloth to sit on, how can the cloth be kicked? !Changing the cloth first felt the woman's kindness, and said, "You eat it too?"Ma Lianqiao said, "Even if I have good food, I don't have any free time. I have to go to the sand factory!"After changing the cloth, I immediately felt uncomfortable, and said: Do you dare to go to the sand factory?Ma Lianqiao said: The sand factory is short of manpower, I can do men's work.After changing the cloth, he threw the jelly bowl on the ground, and said bitterly: You are capable of being a man! When changing the cloth, I planned to set up a sand factory. I went to the secretary, and the secretary said that there is already a sand factory. How can a town build a second one? Bianstone is within the scope of the sand factory, where do you set up the new sand factory?Changing the cloth said that the river beach in front of the town street belongs to the whole town and street people, how could he own the whole river beach in Yuan Heiyan's sand factory?The secretary said: Then you got up late, of course you won't be able to pick up the dung.The cloth changer said: This is not fair!The secretary said: Is it fair for you to transform the old street? !The change of cloth was actually to test the tone of the secretary, but the secretary refused immediately, so he came back and drank a few bottles of mulled wine with Rabjohu, almost drunk. The daughter-in-law who changes the cloth can't see changing the cloth to drink, she gets drunk when she drinks, and when she is drunk, she beats chickens, kicks dogs and scolds her, so seeing the cloth and drinking too much, she yells to scramble eggs and bacon, why not cut a plate of bacon ? !She went to the kitchen, hid all the eggs and bacon, and went to Guangrentang by herself.She suffered from heart and mouth disease for many years, and felt a little stuffy, so she asked Dr. Chen to prescribe some medicine. There are many people in Guangrentang, who either have a hot cold or blisters on the corners of their mouths, and more suffer from palpitations and high blood pressure.Everyone was talking about the drought, and some people said that thick clouds had begun to pass in the sky. They also heard that the county town fired artillery into the sky several times. Although the artificial rainfall has not been successful, it is estimated that it will soon be able to rain.Some people also say that as long as the sky does not destroy people, it will always rain. This is the same as people who suffer in the first half of their lives and enjoy happiness in the second half of their lives. After enjoying blessings in the first half of their lives, they will suffer in the second half of their lives. Once it is opened, it will be doubled underground.Even Dr. Chen said that his lame leg has been aching since the day before yesterday, and it hurts when the weather changes in previous years.The daughter-in-law who changed the cloth didn't talk to those people, and came back after buying the medicine.Rab and Qiao Hu had already left, and fell asleep on the kang without taking off their clothes. Maybe they went to the toilet drunk, stepped on shit, and then went straight to sleep on the kang. The quilt and mattress were dirty.She scolded Changbu, who stared at Changbu, and scolded you to scramble eggs. Where did you die?Changbu's daughter-in-law stopped scolding, tidied up the quilt, and gave Changbu a drink of loose wine syrup, but she also said what she heard in Guangrentang. Changbu jumped out to see the clouds in the sky, and suddenly yelled loudly: "It's going to rain soon." Come on, let's raise the water, and wash away all the sand in the river beach! The brothers of the Yuan family also heard the words that the county town was shooting into the sky again. They were worried that there would be rain after a long drought, so they stepped up to wash the sand and hired a group of people, including Ermao who was wandering in the town street, Mr. Wang Jiahua, Li Cuncang, Xing Lianlian, and Zhang Gaoyao's daughter-in-law who came back from working in the mining area.The hired people are paid 20 yuan a day regardless of whether they eat or live. Yuan Heiyan wore a black silk gown with a big belly and didn't button it up. He found the lamp and asked if it was time to return the loaned water pump, because the sand factory had a large production volume and the existing water pump was already too busy. .Bring a lamp and say: You earn so much money, do you still care about a water pump?Yuan Heiyan said: It was agreed at the time that it was a loan!No matter how much I earn, it’s my labor exchange. No matter how worthless the water pump is, it’s mine!So I had to answer with a lamp. Recently, she went to Nanshenggou Village to ask for a water pump. At night, after watching the news broadcast and the weather forecast, Zhuzi reads a magazine in her room. There is a foreign proverb in the magazine, which she ticks off with a pen.The proverb says: You must kiss countless frogs before you can kiss the frog prince. At night, after watching the news broadcast and the weather forecast, I read Yuan Tianliang's book in her room with a light on. The book said: Where you were born, half of you died there, so the hometown is also called the land of blood. One day later, I went to Nanshenggou Village with lamps and bamboo.The situation in Nanshenggou Village is very good. The water is pumped from the gorge to meet the drinking needs of people and livestock. No one has to climb the mountain ridge to fetch water from Dongchagou Village.In fact, the spring water in Dongchagou Village has completely dried up, and they have to go over the mountains to get water instead.Of course, there is no mention of the water pump with lights. My heart is like a June day, sometimes it rains without premonition, and the pain is like a carving knife running in my chest, making bursts of noise.What shape should my heart be carved into?Yesterday I suddenly thought that in love I should thank myself, it was me that made you love me, and then I thought, it was you who liked me that made me better.Am I a little bird enjoying itself by the water?The water makes the bird moist, and the bird sees the beautiful self in the water, and the bird's smile is also the water's smile.Then the bird confidently flew to the blue sky, but when it was singing, it turned its head and saw the motionless toad beside the water plants, which was another ugly self.I sometimes jump to the shore to jump proudly, but my home is in the water, and only bathing in the water is my real comfort and true self.I should be one with the water.I am born for water, and water is for me.I also thought that the flying of birds is magical, and the jumping of toads is mysterious. What kind of elf would it be with wonderful double curls and strong four legs?It should be the totem in my heart, you can think about what kind of god it is. I wrote it to you just now when I went up the mountain. Zhuzi always asked me what message I sent, but I didn’t show it to her.Now that we have reached the ridge, she is so tired that she is lying there and taking a nap, and I will continue to write to you. A few days ago, Zhuzhu picked roses from nowhere and put them in a bottle. There were thirty roses, fifteen red roses and fifteen white roses, red and white, red like blood and white like snow.Three days later, in the morning, one petal fell from the white rose, and another petal fell off at dusk, and one petal was placed on the bench under the desk. After another night, three more petals fell from the red and white rose.No groans were heard, and those that had fallen and those that were still on the branches remained silent. In the morning, I went to the street to extract my tooth. One tooth had cracked its root and could no longer be kept.Teeth are bones, broken muscles and bones, or reborn, a new life cycle has begun? The teacher at the school gave Zhuzi a jadeite pendant, maybe to silence me, he also gave me a piece of sapphire, the quality is average, but I already like it.I don't have a book about jade here. There is a book that says that jade, five colors burst out, is soft and firm, heaven and earth ghosts and gods are food and feasts, and gentlemen wear it to prevent ominous omens.Ah, people say that jade can be used to eat jade and use it.However, I am still disappointed, and the disappointment in my heart from time to time fills my mind like a long fog, and I squint my eyes and roll forward in this world of mortals.When you are tired from walking, go back to the mountain and sit quietly, looking at the mountain steadily.Once your heart is cleansed, move on.When I stared at the opposite mountain, I saw the moon-like eyes in my heart that could see me as the sun. Oh, this is the first time I called your name, and I was so happy that I forgot about the mundane world. The bird can't help but fly to the blue sky, although there is no place for it to live in.The dragonfly has to lean towards the river, although the river has no place for it to stand. How solemnly and orderly the flower fairy is spreading flowers on the hillside!A ray of fragrance came, Huaxianzi looked around restlessly, and was pleasantly surprised to see her master in the distance, Huaxianzi put down her work and rolled to the master, dancing excitedly, ah, the beloved master finally I hold your hand, and my heart is full of enthusiasm.It's just the hateful wind, sitting strongly in the seat of the flower fairy and blowing the wind.Hua Xianzi has no time to pay attention to it, and goes to the fireworks village with her master, pushes away the mortal heart to let the heart come out to talk to the master, and blows away the cover of the mortal heart to the poor right and wrong crowd, so that the master can understand.Oh, I'm with you, only you can't see me.This is God's arrangement.You are leaving, I put a heart flower in your hand, you know, I have given you one of my souls.I hurried to the mountain to push down the wind, and the flowers bloomed on fire.After opening it once, I quietly put my hands on my chin and looked at the distance and missed you. The bitterness in my heart turned into sweetness, and the flowers also grew honey.A flower with a heart and honey will be able to have a day of bees. On the mountain road two miles away from Dongchagou Village, there were three or five groups of people walking, all carrying a bottle of wine, and some seemed to be a family, the old man leaned on a stick, the female After carrying the child and being tired, he put the child on the man's neck and beat her hard with a handkerchief.There was no soil on her body, and her rice soup starched blouse was stiff and stiff, with the skirt still curled up.Bamboo didn't know what it was for.Bring a lamp and say: Who is the engagement? !It is true that the family is engaged for their son, and they follow the people who are going to the banquet with lights and bamboo. Walking into the village, it turned out that among the thirteen women, Shenglian was the one who got her son engaged.There are five tables in Xi'an. The meals are very simple. Except for one bacon, everything else is radishes, potatoes, pumpkins and beans. If you want to make a puree, you must add pepper, ginger and chives. The tofu maker even yells at Ermao's house to scoop the old pulp when ordering the pulp.When Shenglian saw the lamp and the bamboo, she was so happy that she opened her mouth for a long time and couldn't speak, she hugged the lamp and shook it.Bring a lamp and say: Shake it to pieces!Shenglian said: How can I be so lucky? People from the town government have come to have a banquet!How do you know, come here and give me a long face!Of course, I went to the ceremony with a lamp and bamboo, and then went to congratulate Shenglian's son and the future daughter-in-law, whose collar and cuffs were tightly buttoned up and blushing from the heat.But they don't plan to have a banquet, because the road is still far away, and they have to go back to the town as soon as possible.Sheng Lian was not willing to let go. In order to persuade her to stay, she called all twelve other women and talked about it, trying to persuade her.Bring a lamp and say that the town government has a lot of things to do. After staying here for a long time, it is difficult to explain to the leaders when I go back.They said that the affairs of the masses are what the town government should do. Is it true that the lives of the people in Dongchagou Village are difficult?Bring the lamp and say: Of course we want to stay, we can stay for ten days or eight days, but we didn't solve the problem for you, do you feel ashamed in your heart?They said, "Aren't you trying to solve the problem? We are very grateful that someone is willing to solve it for us. Of course it is good to solve it. If we can't solve it, can we still blame you?"It should be us who are ashamed.If you don't eat a meal or stay overnight, isn't this torturing us?Bring a lamp and say: It's not convenient to eat, live, or anything.They got angry and said: I used to eat and stay at your old buddy's house before, your old buddy passed away, aren't we your new buddies, do you refuse to recognize us as new buddies, do you look down on us?I couldn't stand it with the lights, so I saw that it was getting late, so I said to the bamboo: What do you think?Bamboo said: I listen to you.Bring a lamp and say: Then eat and stay?The twelve women applauded in unison. After the banquet, the woman's family went back. Relatives, friends and villagers all broke up, and the twelve women still stayed on, helping to clean up the bed.They let Shenglian's son sleep in the next door, took away the rotten quilt and smelly shoes, cleaned the kang, spread out the clean quilt, found an unused smooth stone, wrapped it in a towel as a pillow, and put it away in advance. Bring the urine bucket in and put it away, and tell me that there is no need to be afraid of any noise at night. It is an owl hooting on the back beam, or a mouse chewing on a box and grinding its teeth.If anyone is scratching at the door, it is not a person, but a fox who came into the village to pull the chickens, which are already locked tightly in the shed.If you want to pee, you can put it in the urine bucket, if you want to pee, go to the toilet, the toilet is in the corner of the courtyard, use a stick when you go, be careful that there are snakes in the grass nest in front of the toilet, and take a cattail fan, squat down and fan your butt , There are many mosquitoes in the toilet.Everything seemed to be in order, but they still hadn't left, and Zhuzi yawned as the host and the west chattered shortly.Shenglian said: Are you sleepy?Bamboo said: The eyelids are fighting.Shenglian said: I will give you a stem.I pinched two grass stalks and propped the bamboo's eyelids open. After the rooster crowed twice, they finally dispersed.Bamboo said: My God, how can they stay up late!As soon as he leaned back, he fell on the kang, and there was a sound of hu'er hu'er.Bring the lamp and say: Get up, get up.Bamboo said: I am very sleepy.Bring the lamp and say: Are you going to sleep like that? !Bamboo turned over suddenly and said: Oh, oh, don't get lice! There are many reasons for returning to the town street with the lights on, and there is one reason that I haven’t said, that is, how to sleep in Dongchagou Village overnight, will I get lice?I also regret that I didn't bring them some washing powder and sulfur soap when I came. If these things are used too much to kill lice, then I must bring more in the future.Now that they really live in Dongchagou Village, the two of them are so sleepy that they dare not go to the kang.Bring the lamp and say: In the future, when I go to the countryside, I will bring a sheet, and I will sleep wrapped in a sheet when I have to spend the night outside.They closed the door and brought two benches for each of them to sleep on.You can't turn over on the bench, and there is no pillow. Zhuzi took off his coat and folded a pillow. He didn't let you fold it with the light on. He said that it was cold in the middle of the night in the mountains, so don't catch a cold.People in the mountains use bricks and stones as pillows, but they find them too hard to sleep on.Some mountain people also use shoes as pillows, and they can't accept it, so they can't lie down after lying down for a while, and get up and sit against the wall.Bamboo said: Let's sit and talk.The two talked.Bring a lamp and say: Is that woman twenty years old?Bamboo said: twenty four five.Bring the lamp and say: She is a bit old-fashioned.Bamboo said: What do you think of her?Bring the lamp and say: What do you say?Bamboo said: good health.He was speechless while talking, his head drooping on his chest. The genius was revealed, and he opened the door with the light on and came out. There was a gentle breeze outside, the air was fresh, and his mind was much refreshed.He wanted to call out for Zhuzi, but Zhuzi was soundly asleep. He didn't call out any more, and sat on the stone in front of the door, watching the whole bunch of squirrels at the foot of the wall in the east courtyard stretched to the ground, where three squirrels washed their faces.Sheng Lian also got up early, opened the door of the lower room where she slept, wanted to hold firewood while the guests were still asleep, and boil fermented glutinous rice eggs in the pot, but found that the lamp was already in the yard. She was surprised and said, : Why do you get up so early? !Bringing the light on, he hurriedly stopped Shenglian from cooking fermented glutinous rice eggs, saying that he ate too much yesterday and his stomach was still heavy.Shenglian said: That's okay?Bring a lamp and say: OK!Shenglian said that in fact, people in the mountains have two meals a day. They get up early and go out to work. When the sun is a pole high, they come back to eat one meal, and then eat another meal when the sun is over the mountain.Bringing a lamp to ask what to do in the morning, Shenglian said that there are still some schisandra that have not been dried, and there are still some walnuts on the tree.With the lights on, she and she dried the schisandra in the next house on a mat in the yard, and took a long pole to the half slope behind the house to crack walnuts. Later, the twelve women also came. They only said that those who brought the lamps and bamboo would sleep late, so they went about their own work first. The green-skinned walnuts are peeled off, and the green-skinned walnuts are automatically split, and then the walnuts are put into the basket.I didn't want to get up early with the lights, so I felt embarrassed.Asked about the price of peppercorns and schisandra this year with a lamp, she did not accuse the exploitation of birch oak bark, but also asked the price of the bark, they told her: this year’s peppercorns are not good, they have not been sold, and they want to sell them until the twelfth lunar month to go to the town street The price was fixed on the Internet, and a catty could be sold for fifteen yuan at that time.The schisandra is dried, and the good ones must be picked out, and they are sold for one yuan and fifty cents per catty.Birch oak bark is still eighty cents.There are few chestnuts, and they love to grow worms. The worms will appear in three to five days. They can't be taken to the town and street, and they are left for the dolls to eat.Picking boling seeds is okay, but it is laborious. You have to press out the seeds after drying them in the sun. They sell for one yuan per catty. If you can pick thousands of catties, you can earn a good income.They brought the lights and talked about it very excitedly. The autumn in the mountains depends on these wild fruits to earn the money for the whole year.Just when they were talking proudly, Dai Deng suddenly had an idea, because they also said that Dongchagou Village to Dajing Township, Qingyang County, Beishan is a walnut producing area. For food and lodging, you can earn 50 yuan a day by harvesting walnuts; after leaving the ditch, you can walk 130 miles along the road eastward outside the ditch to Yongle Town, Shuangping County. Yongle Town is famous for its apples, and you can pick apples there. Forty yuan a day.Although walnut harvesting is more profitable than apple picking, walnut harvesting requires climbing trees. They cannot climb trees, and most of the trees are on the top of the cliff. Last year, Wu Cheng took his wife and brother there, and his wife and brother fell off the tree and fell to the ground. Dead, not even compensation.Picking apples is easier, and if you still manage your food and housing, you will lose all your forty yuan a day.So, with a light, said: Then go pick apples!They said: A few years ago, men could still do some work and led us there. Now that men have fallen asleep, why don't we dare to go there.Bring a lamp and say: Bamboo and I will lead you there!They said: Are you talking nonsense?Bring a lamp and say: Go!They all opened their eyes wide, and suddenly clapped their hands and said, "Ah, ah, I met a living Bodhisattva!"
