with lights 贾平凹 5443Words 2018-03-19
The weather is getting colder, and people are wearing thicker clothes. The white-haired dogs of the town government are no longer white, and a layer of gray velvet has grown under their long fur.Zhuzi was going to follow her with a light at night, so she was afraid, so she took the dog with her, and she said to the dog: Don't make any noise!The dog seemed to understand it, and it didn't run around or bite. After a light rain, there was no moon for several nights in a row. Looking at the bright white part of the ground, I thought it was the road, and when I stepped on it, I stepped on mud and water.The real road is dark, and bamboo walks in the dark.Zhuzi was also worried that she would step on muddy water with the lamp on. No, she walked in the dark with every step, and bent down from time to time to remove bricks on the dry road, and even kicked away a lump of cow dung and pig feces.However, at the entrance of Qiguaizi Alley, Dai Deng met that lunatic.

Zhuzi is not worried about beasts at night, wolves, wild boars, or even weasels and foxes, they will only haunt the high mountain villages of Jieguan, Gegeyan, and Shimen, and they will not come to town streets.What I worry about is that some people in the town street come out to drink and play mahjong, and suddenly come across the lamp, either they are frightened by the night tour with the lamp or they are about to be frightened by the lamp.The most worrying thing is to meet a lunatic. A lunatic roams the streets of the town day and night. What will he do and what will he say when he meets him?

Zhuzi nervously saw that Dai Deng and the lunatic met, she clamped the dog tightly with her legs, and was ready to rush over if there was any accident.But what she saw stunned her. The lunatic came from Qiguaizi Alley, not so much that he came here, but rather that he floated. He was like a leaf, silently pasted to the east wall of the alley, and then silently pasted to the west wall of the alley. Paste it back and forth, each time with a triangle, and then paste it on the telephone pole at the entrance of the alley, looking at the light.I also saw the lunatic with the light.They didn't look at each other, didn't speak, but chuckled, as if they had agreed to meet here, and each was satisfied with the other's punctual arrival.Later, the lunatic suddenly saw something and rushed to the door of the shop diagonally across the street, followed by the lamp. The lunatic was looking for something, and the lamp was also looking for something. He was even a little angry, and turned to the door of another shop. Bending down to look at the sewer, the lunatic followed.They couldn't find anything, so they shook their hands in frustration.Afterwards, they ran to the other side of the street, scratching the air with their hands or stamping their feet on the ground as they ran, as if they were chasing something, and they ran out of sight.

Zhuzi was thinking, when he saw the lunatic earlier, the lunatic always said that he was hunting ghosts, there were ghosts in the town streets, and he had been chasing ghosts away.So, are they still chasing ghosts now?Are there really ghosts in this world? People who are crazy can see ghosts, can people who suffer from nocturnal travel also see ghosts?Zhu Ziqi leaned down to look into the dog's eyes. She often said that animals can see everything. She said, "Did you see anything?"The dog's eyes are blue at night, but there is no trace of panic in the dog's eyes. Zhuzhu led the dog and ran across the street. He ran very fast and tried not to make any noise, but he failed to catch up with Dai Deng and the madman.Turning around four alleys, I went around to the back of Beizhen Street and in front of Nanzhen Street. It seemed that someone was climbing a tree. They climbed all the tall trees, but there was nothing in front of them.He also seemed to see people jumping one after the other on the row of houses, and when he looked closely, they were all gone again.Zhuzi doesn't believe that he can climb up and down with lights, and he doesn't believe that he can be so agile with lights, but can everything happen if he suffers from nocturnal excursions? !

Bamboo and the dog didn't see the lamp, and the night was getting darker. She knew that it was almost dawn, and even if the lamp disappeared, she should be awake at dawn, so she also came to the town government compound.What she didn't expect was that she had just turned from the town street into the alley of the town government, but she was walking with a lamp in the alley. She slowed down and waited for the lamp to enter the gate.Zhuzi finally returned to the room, and had already fallen asleep peacefully with the lamp on, making a sound, Zhuzi sat down quietly all the time, until his whole body felt cold.

Eating dumplings on the stove, everyone knocked on their bowls, but with the lamp on, they wanted to tell Zhu a little story she had just read in a magazine.The story is that a little girl went to fetch water from the river.She carried it in a bamboo basket, and there was not a drop of water in the basket.Her mother asked: Where is the water?She said: Along the way, the water fed the flowers and the grass.Bamboo said: What does this mean?Bring the lamp and say: This process is so wonderful. With the lamp, she is obviously thinner, really thinner, and the clothes in spring are much looser.She was looking for clothes from previous years, but she suddenly asked: Bamboo, did you take the Xun?Bamboo said: I don't have any.Where do you put it?Bring the lamp and say: Remember to put it in the box first, and then put it on the shelf.Bamboo said: Who stole it in our yard?Bring the lamp and say: Everyone hates me playing the xun, whoever steals it, who dares? !The two of them emptied out all the clothes in the box, and moved the bookshelf away. Their heads were sweating, but they still couldn't find the Xun.Bamboo said: Could it be that you went out and lost it?Bring a light and say: I go out and take it?Where have I been these days?Didn't go!Bamboo quickly covered it up and said: That's right, can it run away by itself? !I stopped looking for it with the light on, sat there panting, and said: That’s because it’s really gone, don’t let me blow it.Zhuzi looked at her, feeling sore in his heart, tears were about to flow down, he hurriedly lowered himself down, pretending to be watching under the bed.Bring a lamp and say: If you don't let me blow it, I won't blow it, listen to you blow it.Bamboo said: Where can I blow the Xun, and the Xun is gone.Bring a lamp and say: You play the flute, you should play the flute.Bamboo said: How should I play the flute?Bring a lamp and say, "Are you called bamboo? Is bamboo a flute if you burn it?"Zhuzi said: Hey, I have an idea. I also want to change my name to Dizi.

Zhuzi changed her name to Dizi, but no one in the town government compound recognized her and still called her Zhuzi. On this day, Zhu Zi asked her to go to Songyun Temple with her to see the ancient pine trees. Zhu Zi wanted to go there to hang a red cloth belt to cure her illness, so she followed with a red cloth belt in her arms.After passing the construction site of the big factory, I took the lamp and asked to see the former site of the post station. Maybe after the stone carving that said "Qinling Yingying Station Yujing lotus, flowers blooming ten feet like a boat" was destroyed, there are still fragments left there.There must be no fragments picked up on the old site, where cement houses have already been built.Still going to Songyun Temple, the river bend in Pogen is silent, and the reeds and cattail grass are as tall as a person, and they are densely spread from the back of the river bend to the river beach in front of the bay.The sand in the river beach is no longer washed, and the reeds and cattail grass on the riverside grow so fast that they grow wild in Nagano.In the distance, someone made a row out of branches, which seemed to be Wang Caicai's son, or Yang Ermao. After a cry, the row was drawn into the reed.Dai Deng suddenly said: This morning, the government compound was very lively, because the village cadres had to be adjusted again, and people from different factions came to talk.They said good things and said bad things, in person, in anonymous letters, in face-to-face exposure of abuse, and in fights.Mei Youliang frothed again, yelling that the village party secretary had not published accounts for 12 years, to set a world record, and also yelled at the village party committee to spend the special party dues of 500 yuan on their own, and give them to the octogenarians to collect on their behalf. The subsidy of 600 yuan came out as 600 yuan of fake money, and I received 20,000 yuan for the reconstruction of a disabled house after the disaster.Zhuzi felt surprised when she heard what she said, and said: Someone came to the town government compound this morning?No!Bring a light and say: No?Why not?How could they not have received me? !

After a while, he brought the lamp and said that Director Bai Renbaohou and Director Wu are so busy, so low-level, like flies, they dare to eat everything they have seen, and they will talk nonsense if they can't eat.After finishing speaking, he asked the bamboo if he had to water the thorns for the sake of the roses? After a while, Dai Deng told Zhuzi what she saw and heard when she went to Baitupo Village. I lay in the sun in a licorice nest on the ridge.The sunny side of the mountain faces the main road I took back, and the lower side is called Yemaogou, which is full of crops.The village chief's daughter-in-law was breaking the corn, only to hear the clacking sound.At this time, rocks rolled down the opposite slope, and she asked loudly who was on top, and the man said they were digging scorpions.She said that a piece of rock was dropped, why not roll you down?The man said that I would roll down for fear of falling down on you.She said I'm going to die!This woman is about forty-seven, fat and short-legged, with long teeth and weak breath. When she walks, she just swings her two calves back and forth.She used to be an official of the village women's federation, and she didn't know how to do business. When she came to the town government to hand in the report, she always carried a big bag on her side, with bamboo shoots and fist buds in it for the village cadres to write.When repairing cement roads, she monopolized picking up cement bags, and I heard that after selling them, she earned not less than the town cadres in one month.When the road was repaired in the village, the villagers thought that the cement was owned by the public and wanted to shovel another shovel in front of their house. She went to each house to quarrel, and when she came down in the morning, her face was scratched, her clothes were torn, and her rotten shoes were kicked into the water.The fact that the village head doesn't show his face means that he has contracted road construction to earn money, and he can't mess with the villagers because he has to be elected.Now she broke a lot of corn sticks, and the village head rode a motorcycle to bring them back. When she was bagging, a woman came quickly.The woman is skinny and neat, and the village chief's wife raised her head and scolded you for kicking him out, why don't you marry him? !The woman said why don't you die? If you die today, I will marry him tomorrow.The wife of the village chief said you want to be beautiful. Four houses in my house have been built, and you still live in that half-shabby house. He doesn’t want me. Is he cowardly? !The village chief pointed at his wife and said, "If you say one more thing, I will kill you!"The woman said he beat her to death!At this time, the scorpion diggers on the slope put two big stones down, and the woman looked up and escaped from the ditch.After a while, two people trotted up and down the ditch, carrying the stretcher, and the scorpion digger asked what was going on, saying that the two families were angry.What kind of question?It was said that Wang Shuanmo's head was broken, and Liu Zhizhong's daughter-in-law was furious.The village head and the scorpion digger said that Liu Zhizhong and his wife worked hard to help Wang Shuanmo build the house, and wanted to ask their son to be his son-in-law. Unexpectedly, Wang Shuanmo asked the two children to go out to work and get raw rice to cook. In order to save some gift money, the daughter asked other migrant workers to do the work, and Liu Zhizhong's son was kicked out.Liu Zhizhong is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the plasters of the two families are not easy to bake.They said, well, sooner or later there will be a fight!

Bring the lamp and say: The big factory is going to build the road to the living area again, and Nanhe Village will definitely not be peaceful.But I know that there can be no problems. If there is a problem, we have worked hard for a long time and it will be for nothing.The branch secretary and the village head are not in a good match to provoke each other to talk about each other, and I will not accept it, and let them digest the conflict by themselves.The town mayor sees them criticizing one by one, without giving the slightest illusion to rely on the town government, and leave it to me, and I will force the village cadres to solve it.I am their bridge to the town government.I said that I am not strong enough to make life difficult for you.In fact, self-government of villagers is an effective way to resolve conflicts. The superiors often make the problem bigger, false and complicated. Most people who are sick can heal themselves.The party secretary is talented and intimidating because he is too big and not humble.The village chief was also very uncomfortable when he found a mouse biting the cloth bag. I explained to him that this is like the muddy part of the road of life and can only be walked through.I now also know that most people are unhappy in their hearts. It is the normal state of life that many things happen, and the situation where I am in a good mood is also an accidental phenomenon.Am I right? I must be polluted.

Bring the lamp and talk about Wang Suifeng again. She said: Yesterday, a meeting was held in a hurry to strengthen petitions, spend the Spring Festival peacefully, tighten internally and loosen externally, and give heavy rewards and punishments.I used to be able to control the whole town by myself, but now there is only one dangerous person but it is very serious, and this is Wang Suifeng.If I had been the King of Hades in the comprehensive management office, there would be some little ghosts under my command in Ying Town. For the petitioners, I used wandering ghosts as guards, took the petitioners to visit relatives, and was almost blown away by the water in the river; Let the alcoholic be guarded, and drink eight bottles of soju overnight to perforate the stomach; let the mahjong ghost be guarded; let the right and wrong ghosts separate.And Wang Suifeng made me feel helpless, I wanted to coax her to recognize a godsister, buy her a jacket to stabilize her, and then pay the town government, otherwise I'm done.

There are always a few days that are annoying and annoying, and these two days I always bother myself to be like a hedgehog, not as docile and adaptable as others.I move with my instincts and walk my own way very differently. This is not right. A living person cannot be as special as a work of art.I know that I have a role to play, and when I walk forward, I must step on grass, damage branches, vines and thorns. Although I have survived the disaster and embarked on the road, there are groans of grass branches, which touch my heart. My heart is shaking and I can't calm myself down.So I also exist alone, being puzzled by others, feared, laughed at, envied, hated, complimented, and referenced, it seems that I need and cannot do without them and detached from them, everyone has it In fact, no one has a chance.Do you think I can love, can someone dare to love, can I give my lover a comfortable space?I am like a hard stone, the elm lump hides in a bad place and never enters the artist's eye and chisel.Unyielding and stubborn, he paints ghosts and immortals in his heart, paints demons and gods, eats fast and does not recite Buddha and pity people.I'm a weirdo not a bad guy. Zhuzi didn't intervene all the time, just let the lamp continue to talk, and most of what the lamp said was something she knew, but these things were said many years ago, or the things of several families were said together.Bamboo's tears flowed down. On the ramp, with a light on, I stroked the chrysanthemums vigorously, put one of the yellowest flowers on my head, and pulled out a bunch of branches to make a garland and wear it around my neck. Then I took off my coat and wrapped it in a big bag. .Bamboo said: You can make pillows!Bring a light and say: make a pillow.But there are too many chrysanthemums stroked with lights, she said: The wild chrysanthemums that are full of slopes are imprisoned in the pillow, give it to you and me.Bamboo said: Give it to me?Bring a lamp and say: It's not you, it's Yuan Tianliang.Bamboo was stunned for a while, and said: Who are you talking about?Bring a lamp and say: Yuan Tianliang!Bamboo said: How can you say that?Bring the lamp and say: I say this every day, and I have said it for more than a year!Zhuzi knew that Dai Deng was talking nonsense again, and she couldn't bear to expose or comfort her, so she laughed at Dai Deng, and Dai Deng also laughed at her, saying: This is all true! When going downhill, the lamp also said something, Zhuzi was dumbfounded. The lamp is to say: Although all women may be wives, only a very few lucky wives can be real women. When I got up in the morning and cried in the room with the lamp on, Zhuzi was startled. When I went to ask, I had a dream with the lamp on at night, and I cried when I remembered what happened in the dream.Dai Deng said that she saw Yuan Tianliang return to Ying Town in her dream, and she didn't know why he appeared in front of her, whether he broke free from the clouds, or escaped from the sea, anyway, they met each other.She said, I felt it, but I didn't look at it seriously. I glanced at it and sniffed it like I was passing by a big garden, but I didn't go in and suffer from the invasion of pollen and the pain of flower thorns.But I remember a sentence, if there is no romance, I will meet him again in this life;I used to be sad, but this morning I realized that emptiness is the best thing, and illusory clouds, petals, and tears are rainy days, rain flowers, rain tears.I hope that my rain and tears can be the spring of my life and not reject the influence of the outside world, but I always hope that you will block my gorge like a big rock and let me gather you into a lake, or you can drink me and let me I grow a lotus on your heart and bloom between your lips and brows.And you are a patient fisherman, my shallow mountain spring rushes torrent, and it is impossible for the fish to bite your hook.She said, I am the grass and trees on the top of the mountain, like being imprinted by the moon in my heart, hugged in my arms, and lifted the moon up to the top of the mountain and threw countless laughing stars.However, it may be that she is used to the mountains and fields, and she is used to doing things casually, so she did a lot of things she shouldn't do and said a lot of things she shouldn't say, just like the moon in the river again, and the river eagerly embraced the moon again and again and hurriedly. Taking it away is also pushing the moon out again and again.How depressed she is now, she admires and loves Yuan Tianliang's lofty integrity, but feels that her smoky earthly life is so dirty, like a lotus that is caught in a urn and can't get out of the mud.Yuan Tianliang is gone, he is really a gentleman of Jinyun, a lumpy cloud, drifting along the mountains.She said in her heart, I am actually very strong, resolute and full of energy, nothing can bother me and no one can defeat me, I am a woody plant.So I am not a lover, I will not be greedy for tenderness, softness and sweetness.In my mind, you and I are in the same hole, one nest, one room. I will take care of the home, take care of you, maintain you, feed you, and guide you with my simple heart to be your solid backing.Although I am not always clinging to you, I let you always feel the distant breath of a woman and enjoy yourself. You have patience when you chop wood, and you have leisure when you walk. As long as there are your footsteps coming home, the flowers of my love will bloom. It blooms in the heart and between the brows.I may never have the definition of my nouns, and perhaps the unbounded position is the real position.She yelled a few times, but said in her heart, honey, you can go wandering freely.The drops of water on the grass are also the creation of the grass. You are a cloud with a strong heart. It is impossible to wear you on your body like cotton, let alone swallow you like a bun. You have a magnificent and magnificent destiny. I think I can't put you in my heart like others, but I can put you in my heart completely. I won't call you casually in the future. You condense in my heart like a mountain with gold and fire in my heart. I fly over thousands of mountains and rivers like a bird, and my foothold is still your branch.You allow me to nest in your tree, and the nest made of dead branches is not connected with the tree, so flying is my instinct, so the tree will always be a real dream of the bird.Winter is coming, the sky is going to snow, the sky may not be able to accommodate the snow, but the snow gracefully comes to the ground, blooming flowers and growing grass, wonderfully decorating my life, adjusting my will, waiting for the full support of the earth and the support of the sun. Can you return to heaven in the form of a cloud? Maybe maybe, I suddenly thought, my fate is the red wax burning beside the Buddha's table, the flame goes up, and the tears flow down.
