The stone lion at the south entrance of the village has moss all over its body, and the moss is its clothes. The clothes are all black in winter, and there are patches of white spots. Now, the moss is alive again, and it has changed into new clothes. Ba Cao didn't come back. As soon as Bacao left, he flew away like a bird. When he arrived at the root of the twelfth lunar month, even after the New Year's Eve, there was no news. The lamp was lit in front of him, and his big fucking tomb was dark. Sitting under the stone lion, Goupimoss and Cowbell watched the clouds in the sky. A cloud was blown by the wind and ran away without leaving any traces. It disappeared after passing Yijialing.Goupimos said: Could Bacao starve to death outside? Cow Bell said: This is impossible.Although there are no food stamps and no letter of introduction, but who is Bacao, he can be suffocated to death by urine?! Goupiamos said: Will he be caught as a wandering criminal? Niu Ling said: Oh, he If you want to win, go to Xinjiang.Goupimo doesn't know about Xinjiang, but Niu Ling knows. He heard from people in Xiahewan that Xinjiang is vast and sparsely populated, and those who break the law go there to pick up cotton. Hundreds of acres of cotton are collected from south to north. In the past, there was only one dog lying on the ground, and no one wanted to find a guard.

The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and it is already noon when work is over. All the women jog home to cook, and the chimneys everywhere are emitting smoke. The smoke is connected in the sky above the village. It becomes a pillar supporting the sky that is very close to the ground.The men loosened up, and their disorganized bodies appeared to be shorter. They didn't go home at all, and they gathered at the intersection of Sancha Alley to talk again. Their tongues were actually longer than those of the women, and their jokes were bigger than their own lives. Those who do poorly hate to scold those who live better than themselves.The daughter-in-law of the nursing home called the nursing home to go back to eat at the door. The nursing home seemed very angry and shouted: "Won't you bring me the rice?!" The star-watching daughter-in-laws on the pillars of Shuan brought the rice in old bowls one after another.Niu Ling wanted to go home and cook by himself. After being separated from the dog pee moss, he grabbed a bunch of firewood from the wheat straw collection and went back. He stood up and kicked the root of the gable wall to scrape the potato skins, singing: Nine nine eighty one , The poor boy stands against the wall, the cold is not cold, it only makes his stomach hungry.You are so hungry, no one cares about the cowbell, and the one who brought the bowl just eats and drinks by himself.When eating the first half of the bowl, no one talked anymore, the mouth grew a lot, and they all stretched out in the bowl, snoring loudly, after eating half of the bowl, I was relieved, my head was steaming, I changed my posture, and started again Having spoken, it is still bullying.Ah, this doggy bully didn't seem much in Gulu Village. Once he left, Gulu Village felt so much empty! Ming Tang said: Let's eat and drink, I don't know what he's doing all this time Li? Youliang said: drink wind and fart, it’s better to stay at home than to go out.Mingtang said: You often go out to build houses and repair tombs for others, and you still say this when you earn money! Youliang said: Money is earned by suffering, who loves to go out when life is comfortable? Mingtang said: Overbearing life is not easy ? Youliang said: He stretched without you.Mingtang said: I have an old man and a young man, and I have a few mouths on my shoulders. He feeds the whole family by himself, and I am more stretched than him? Youliang said: You don’t recognize Bacao! Mingtang said: I don’t recognize it? Look at it Do you recognize him after being burnt to ashes?! Mazihei snorted, got up and moved around.Mingtang said: What are you humming, have you eaten chicken feathers? Mazihei said: What's the point of talking about that.The kitchen fire just laughed and said: "The one who sells noodles can't see the one who sells lime."Ma Zihei said: I don’t want to be bullying! You read him, does anyone know why he left? Mingtang said: Why? Mazihei said: He made Xingkai’s stomach bigger, can he not run away? You Liang immediately said, "You fucking nonsense! Ma Zihei wanted to say more, but suddenly stopped, and buried half of his face in the bowl.

It was Xing Kai who came over.Xing Kai picked a handful of green onion leaves from the private plot, and walked very slowly, as if trying to trample ants to death while walking. Stove Huo said: Alas, the pot is full or you can only drink some scallion leaves? Youliang said: Who doesn't have a stomach problem, why is he getting sick after so long? Stove Fire said: That's not enough.Ming Tang said: "The bully is gone, why is he still angry? Look at Xing Kai with his eyes. Are Xing Kai's breasts and butt bigger, but his waist is still thin? He said: Mazihei, you are really talking nonsense! Mazihei said: You To see the neem tree.Mingtang said: What happened to the neem tree? Ma Zihei said: The neem tree was chopped down three times.Mingtang said: Who did it, and why? Ma Zihei said: Don’t you know?! He called out dog pee moss.

Gouiatai took an old bowl to eat, and the old bowl was bigger than his head, and the flat end was too heavy, so his left arm bent up, as if he wanted to put the bowl on his shoulder.He didn't come to the crowd at the entrance of the Sancha alley, but was walking in the alley to drink porridge. When he came across a tree, he picked up a grain of rice with his chopsticks and put it on the branch of the tree, and said, "Here's a bite! I'll eat all the trees in the alley." After eating rice, the dog pee moss looked back, thinking that the tree ate the rice, and then the flowers that could bloom would bloom brightly, and the fruits that could bear fruit would bear fruit.

Hearing Mazihei calling him, he ignored him.Ma Zihei said: Dog urine moss, have you been to the neem tree? The dog urine moss said: Oh. Mazihei said: Are there scars on the neem tree? Dog urine moss said: 咹? Normally, Goupimo would have to go back to the neem tree to see what happened, but this was something Mazihei wanted to ask him, and he didn't want to go, and he didn't want to know why there was a scar on the neem tree.Gouiatai went back with the bowl in hand, because he had to go to Zhongshan after dinner. This day happened to be the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar. When I woke up in the morning, my mother-in-law wrapped colorful thread around the dog's mossy wrist, and smeared realgar in the ear hole.After dinner, I went to Zhongshan to pick mugwort leaves, and put them on the doors and windows to keep snakes and cockroaches from entering the house.After pulling out all the mugwort leaves in the shade, the third aunt and Dai Hua were sitting in the room, talking with her mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law said: "It's a crime, isn't it bad for the apricots to say this? Who said it?" Dai Hua said: "Changkuan heard it in the village. You know his duty. He was so angry after hearing it that he came back and told me."Ah, how is this possible? Besides, the neem seeds can give birth? The third aunt said: It is possible to have a beating, even if Xing Kai picked up the neem seeds, she would have an abortion? He vented his anger on the neem tree and chopped it three times.The third aunt said: Is there such a thing? Her silkworm mother-in-law, Xing Kai has not come to look for you? The mother-in-law said: After her mother died, the first time she had menstruation, she was looking for me. Didn’t you see her coming? What do you do when you come to me? Who?

Gou Niai listened to them in a daze, but couldn't hear clearly. When the mother-in-law called out, he hurriedly kicked his feet in the yard a few times and said, "It's me, mother-in-law, Ai Ye got it back!" Dog urine moss inserted moxa on the door and moxa on the window, and there were still a lot left, so they inserted moxa on the doors and windows of the neighbors.He felt that no one in the village was kind to him, except for the cow bell who was bullying, so he took a handful of Ai and went to Niu Ling's house first, but the cow bell was not there, pinned Ai in the crack of the door, and ran to the cabin After running to the entrance of the village, he suddenly woke up and the bully was gone. After standing for a while, he threw Ai Ye to the side of the hill.

There is a stone mill on the west side of the road, which is not as big as the one at the west end of the village, but this stone mill is still in use, and the water skin is covered with cows and black beans.Black beans are fine grains for cattle. Huanxi used to grind them by themselves, but many people have objections, saying that the breeders grind them by themselves and feed them to the cows. Who knows how much they grind and how much they feed? There are too many farts, so I don't let Huanxi wear it down, and hand over the work to Shuipi.When Shui Pi was leading the cow from the cowshed, he took the cow with white and black spots on its body. The cow was too thin, and a piece of skin was like a quilt on the frame, and it could be peeled off with a tug. .Shui Pi first helped push the mill rod, but then he stopped pushing and sat on the mill fan to read a book. The cow also walked more and more slowly. Moved, standing there to shit.Shui Pi jumped down and whipped him hard with a whip, saying, "Slacker for me? Damn you, are you one of the four types of cows?"

Goupimos saw Shuipi grinding beans there, and he didn't say hello, afraid that Shuipi would ask him to help grind beans on the grounds of teaching him characters, but when he heard Shuipi scolding the cows for being four types of molecules, he took it. Then, say: You sit on the mill fan, can it pull it? The cow mooed at the dog's pee moss. Shui Pi said, "Yeah, are you still talking to him with dog pee moss?!" He whipped the cow again. A good man came up from the side of the hill, and the good man carried a bag on his back and said, "Hey, hey, I dare not beat the cow. I know this cow. It has a liver disease."

Shui Pi said: "I'm sick. He happily asked me to hold the grinder beans. If I can't grind them well, he will have something to say." Then he asked the good man: You pay attention to talking about illnesses, why don't you tell the cows? Ah, there is an idiom that is playing the piano to cows , You are telling the cow that you are sick! After speaking, he giggled triumphantly. The good man was not annoyed, and said, "Why doesn't the branch secretary let you treat it? The disease on the beef liver is bezoar. Does the branch secretary look forward to peeling the bezoar in the future? It's an expensive medicine."

Shuipi said: "If you have bezoars, you will have bezoars. If I pull the mill, it will pull the mill!" The whip whipped up the cow again. Gou Uitai rushed up to grab the whip, but couldn't get the water skin, so he took the book in his hand and said, "If you beat the cow again, I will tear the book up!" The good man said, "Shuipi, listen to me. I came out of the temple and lived in Xigouchuan. That year, the village caught a thief, but I didn't catch it. I caught an innocent person and beat him. Knowing the thief, the villagers caught me and beat me up.I didn't blame anyone, nor was I angry. I didn't realize that when I was in the temple when I said I was sick, the master asked me to drive over the bricks and tiles of the temple. I was also beating animals along the way, and the beating was too hard. , the sins of the body world have to be repaid in the body world. Gou Uitai threw the book on the mill fan and said, "When will Shui Pi be punished by retribution?" Shuipi said: Hit you! You are the one who committed the crime, or you are a member of the fourth class! In one sentence, the dog pee moss is wilted.Goupitai looked at the good man, but the good man didn't say anything, so he pulled him away. Goupiati kept his head down all the way, and his legs were short, so he couldn't catch up with good people.Alas, he was always doing something excitedly, and suddenly someone talked about his background. It was like a crop seedling that was stretching its arms and legs and growing up, and suddenly a hailstone fell and smashed it to the ground.He thought that the crops hit by the hail didn't grow taller, and his size was the same as being hit by people and didn't grow taller.The sun started to move towards the west, and moved the shadow from behind him to in front of him. The shadow was so short and ugly that even he got angry and stepped on it according to the shadow.But the shadow was jumping forward, and he just couldn't stop it. The good man said: Dog pee moss, be happy. Goupimos said: They don't give me a good face, how can I be happy? The good man said: When others bully you, it is to eliminate karma for you. Is that a good thing?I have something for you. The good man took out a small round mirror from the bag and gave it to the dog, and the dog looked in the mirror, and there was a sad face in the mirror.The good man said, "Smile a little."A smiling face in the mirror. The good man said: You smile in the mirror every day, and the mirror will give you all smiles. Dog urine moss said: Is it me inside and outside the mirror? The good man said: just laugh at you. Goupimos laughed a few times immediately, and wanted to carry the satchel for the good man, but the good man didn't let him carry it. The two walked into the side alley, and Mian Yu'er sat on the stone at the bottom of the wall and ate cigarettes, but his face was full of tears. tears.Goupiati said: Uncle Mian Yuer, didn't you go to carry the gasket soil today? Mian Yuer took a look at Goupiati, and tears still fell.Gou Uitai said: Hey, you still eat cigarettes, why are you willing to buy them? Mian Yuer suddenly said: No, no, if you want to destroy this house, just destroy it!The good man smiled and said, "What's wrong, who made the noodle fish so angry?" But the noodle fish grabbed the good man's hand and said, "Oh, ah, what evil did I do? The whole family Well, if I don’t eat the steamed buns, put them there for someone to eat. If I don’t do the work in the private plot, no one will do it.If I don’t do it, I don’t do it, and if I do it, I’m exhausted, but the room is noisy all day long.Kaishi and his wife are arguing to separate the family, let’s split up, maybe it will be better if they live their own lives, but the second and third children grab the shovel when they eat, fight to shovel the sticky bottom of the pot, and even steal money from the house to eat tofu at Kaihe’s place , Yesterday, Kaihe came to ask me for the bill, and said that Suozi had used cigarette money on credit with him, how do you think your life is going?! The good man said: Don’t you always tell people that children recognize you as a young man? Mian Yuer said: It was all good before, who knows... Alas, what is this? The good man said: Can you listen to me? Mian Yuer said: You can talk about illness. What is wrong with this family? you say.The good man said, "Because you are mean to the poor, all the poor ghosts have been reborn in your house!" The mouth of the noodle fish suddenly opened.The good man said: Don't interrupt, listen to me. When you were not the head of the threshing field, in previous years, the people on the threshing field had a meal of muddled noodles. You have been the head of the wheat field for a summer. instead of two catties of steamed sweet potatoes per person.You need to drink vegetable soup for steaming sweet potatoes, and you think it is not cost-effective to cook soup. You usually add salt and chili to the soup, but you don’t put chili and even salt. Isn’t this a waste of money? The noodle fish said: Oh, then I Isn’t it for the production team? The good man said: In the twelfth lunar month, you make wine, and the village stipulates how much wine to make for everyone to drink. Do you think you have hidden it? Mian Yu’er said: I just hid a jar, you all know The good man said: During the Spring Festival, you sold the can of wine to Lao Cheng. The regular price was 20 cents a catty. .Because you are afraid of being poor and you are mean to the poor, all the poor ghosts are looking for you.You did it yourself, who do you ask? After hearing what the good man said, Mian Yuer stopped eating cigarettes and went into the yard crying. Goupimos took pity on Mianyuer, saw the pack of cigarettes still lying on the stone, threw the cigarettes in through the crack of the courtyard door, and said: Why do you say that about him? A good man said: Anyone who feels wronged in a situation does not understand cause and effect. Dog urine moss thought: cause and effect? ​​What is cause and effect?! He couldn't understand the words of the good man, and the tears flowed down. He sucked it, then flowed down again, and wiped it with his hands, but he couldn't find a place to wipe the tears for a while. .And good people just piss the dog and say that if you plant melons, you will get melons, and if you plant beans, you will get beans. The same is true for people. In the past life, they have worshiped flowers to Buddha. , In the previous life, I fought with pigs for bran, but in this life I have a pockmarked face.The dog urine moss said: Oh, Mazihei fought with pigs for chaff! How can Mazihei fight with pigs for chaff? The good man said: He is a beggar, and beggars fight with pigs for chaff.What is the nature of this life, you know what you did in the previous life. This life is fire, the previous life must be an official, this life is water, the previous life must be a businessman, this life is wood, the previous life must be a worker, this life It is earthy, and must have been a farmer in the previous life.A good man is full of antiques, and he talks endlessly, like pouring out a bag of walnuts, dog urine moss barking good man, good man, good man is still saying, there is stupid fire in the nature of a cow, and there is fire in the nature of a dog. Yinmu, it takes that shape and suffers like that, if it can be sexualized, it will be free from the suffering of animals! There is still no place to wipe the dog urine moss, so I simply patted the bag and wiped my hands clean up. The good man said: What do you call me? If you call me Ye, you can call me Ye, and add a good man in front of it! Goupiamos said: Lord, I don’t care about the past life and the present, I ask you, what will I be in the future? The good man said: Oh, then what do you think? Goupiati said: I want to be like everyone else, a poor and lower-middle peasant. The good man looked at the dog peeing moss and stopped talking. The dog urine moss said: Why don't you say it? The good man said: You have to find a branch secretary. The dog urine moss was a little discouraged.The good man is talking for nothing, if you don’t believe it, let’s go, the dog pee moss and leave. The benevolent man said from behind: Oh, this baby has an empty heart. Goupiamos didn't turn his head back, and said: Why isn't it empty? Good people say: if the nature is rational, the destiny will not be empty; if the heart is rational, the destiny will not be empty;Man is the spirit of all things, so all things want to be transformed into humans, but unfortunately, when people get lost, they want to transform into things, and the cycle continues.And people have delusions or worries, but they can’t reincarnate, they can’t be human, and they don’t understand the truth, so they can’t redeem their hearts.If you are dissatisfied and do not know, you will not be able to redeem your will.If things are not empty and things are not clean, ambition cannot be redeemed.You have to do one thing, one thing, get a way, get a way, get in and get out, and not be fascinated by the world net, in order to redeem your birth.If the adversity comes, if you can bear it happily and think it is right, then it will be over. If you can’t bear it, and you have resentment in your heart, even though this incident has passed, there will be another adversity in the future. The dog urine moss didn't understand anything else, but when he understood the sentence "should be", he said: They are all human, and they are all in Gulu Village. His water skin should be a good ingredient, and I should rely on ingredients? The good man said: I can't tell you clearly, I can't tell you clearly. The dog urine moss said: Then what should I do? The good man said: Then treat yourself like a son of a bitch. Dog urine moss said: I - don't - want - to be! He ran through the alleyway, and heard the good man say from behind: My baby, is there no invisibility cloak in this world!
