After the dog urine moss came home, he washed his nose with vinegar, and if it didn't work, he rubbed cotton into strips and stuffed it in his nostrils.But the cotton sliver stuffed in the nostrils must be exposed, as if he was running a thick nose, so he took the tampon off again, and hung the sachet of Er Yue Er Po Na around his neck again. Take out the sachet and smell it. He started to get up very early every day and wash his face when he got up. The mother-in-law said: Yo, my baby knows how to wash her face! He said: Do you want to go to the town? Luo Town has become the place I yearn for the most, but it’s a pity that I can’t go every day, except for regular deliveries to supply and marketing agencies, and the retail market every three, six or nine days, and it’s up to Bacao to decide whether to go or not. Goupiamo often complains : Day made me wash my face, why didn’t I go? I stayed and went a few times, but there was no student parade, but the school was closed, and the students put up big-character posters or debated on the street.The Mashao, Mingtang, Banxiang, and Shuipima of Gulu Village can talk about it, but what are they? The students in Luo Town have their mouths as sharp as knives.Ha, Goupemos likes to watch debates the most. At the beginning, one group of people stands there with another group of people, and their representatives go to the table to take turns talking. Either you want to suppress me with momentum, or I want to find you When the pain is pinched, the mouth is full of white foam, the hand is waved, and the foot is stamped.Later, the people on the table turned on the loudspeaker, and the people under the table also argued. Three against five, ten against eight, like a rooster fighting, the crowd became chaotic, like a vortex in a river.Drilling around in the vortex of dog pee moss, he heard a student's voice was loud, but the front voice was loud, and the back voice was soft. He often ate the words behind him. He thought it was interesting. He was always worried that he would choke and couldn't speak, but he said it again, and he felt that he couldn't breathe well.Then I went to see another student. This dog's lips were thin, and he seemed to be out of breath when he spoke so fast.People around clapped their hands and applauded him, and he also clapped his hands, and someone scolded him: "Fuck you!" He kept quiet and peeked at the big-character posters on the wall. After a layer of big-character posters was pasted on it, people would tear it up soon. Drop it, and paste another layer of big-character posters.He was amazed that there were so many papers in Luo Town, and thought of Po, but he didn't dare to tear them up. He waited for others to tear them up, and the wind blew the shredded papers down the steps of the street before he quickly picked them up and put them in his pocket. inside.

During that period of time, my mother-in-law cut a lot of paper flowers.The dog urine moss boasted to my mother-in-law: he will press a layer of paper under the kang mat, so that it is three fingers high.However, the branch secretary announced that he would stop selling porcelain. The branch secretary went to Luo Town to meet with Secretary Zhang of the commune twice and decided not to sell porcelain goods. The reason is that Luo Town is in chaos. The most important thing is to follow the instructions of Secretary Zhang to pay close attention to the development of the current situation, and each village closely monitors the four types of elements.Of course, the party secretary didn't say what was in his heart, that is, Bacao is a restless person, and Goupimos is born like that. If there is any problem with these two people outside, it will be his responsibility.

He no longer sells porcelain goods, this will not stop Bacao from not going to Luo Town, he will go as usual, he can go whenever he wants, only the dog pee moss is restricted.Goupiati is always flustered, and always goes to the cabin every day. Sometimes Bacao is there, sometimes Bacao is not there, and if he is not, he must have gone to Luo Town. Bacao drove a walking tractor or hitchhiked back in the dark, and told him strange things about the town. On the highway, students began to walk. These students were in groups of three or five. They all carried backpacks with a small flag on them, saying that they were going to Yan’an, Jinggangshan, and Hunan Mao Shaoshan, the hometown of the Chairman.They all went to the Holy Land of the Revolution.These pilgrims would sit down and rest at the door of the cabin, and Bacao would serve them herbal tea and mend their shoes, without charging money, and only asked them where they came from and where they were going.These students from the city, the students from Biluo Town, are neatly dressed, have fair faces, and speak in a different tone. Things that fit the proletariat should be eradicated.I was talking about Chairman Mao having met students several times in Tiananmen Square, and the students who met for the first time were all selected by the school and were royalists. Now they are rebels and are Chairman Mao’s Red Guards.These students were eloquent, and Bacao was dumbfounded, and the dog pee moss and cowbell who also ran over were even more surprised. They couldn't fully understand what the students said, but they felt that they could carry their luggage and think of where to go. Go wherever you want, envious to death.In particular, some students wore small bronze plaques with a portrait of Chairman Mao on their chests. They wanted to touch them with their hands, but the students immediately protected them and said, "Don't move, this is the portrait of Chairman Mao!" The badges are really pretty, Gou Uitai tried to make them drink Tai Sui water, to curry favor, so that he could give him the badges, but they refused.And Ba Cao stared at the hat on the student's head. It was a military cap, without the five-pointed star, but it was definitely a military cap. The grass-green military cap looked so majestic, he thought his blue cloth hat had paper pads inside. It looks good with sharp edges and corners, but compared with a military cap, it looks squishy, ​​so he no longer wears his own hat.

It has been ten days and a half months, the sky is always windy, the yellow wind is always blowing, the catkins that fell on the ground are still like thin clouds at first, and when people approach it, they float up, playing with you in front of you, and now they all fall into the lotus. In the vegetable pond, in the wheat field, it seems that a layer of snow has fallen in the wheat field.Under the walnut tree, the youngest son was picking bugs, his pockets were full, and he still held a handful in his hand. The star-watching mother passed by and said loudly: You caught so many caterpillars?! Come closer, those are not caterpillars. It's walnut flocs. The star-watching mother smiled, but coughed repeatedly.The wind caused people in Gulu Village to have red noses and itchy throats. When the star-watching mother coughed, almost everyone with the infection coughed, and they couldn't spit out any phlegm.

During this period, the wolf passed by again, but did not enter the village. It was the fox who entered the village.The fur of the fox is so beautiful that people want to hunt it down, so Tianbu and Zaohuo make dynamite balls at home.The father-in-law of Zaohuo is a master at frying foxes on Xiahe Beach. Zaohuo once learned how to pack dynamite balls, so he taught Tianbu. He mixed the dynamite with pieces of porcelain, wrapped them into balls with chicken skin, and put a pinch of chicken feathers on the balls. , and put it on the dirt road from the back depression to the millpan.The fox was already very cunning, and even took the pills lightly, moved them to a different place and buried them, so that when Tianbu and Zaohuo picked up the pills, they missed the pills, and had to look around carefully to avoid people, cows, dogs, etc. Step on it again.News came from Dongchuan Village that a leopard ate a dog. It was said that four dogs were lost in a row in the village. A dog’s head and tail were found in the wheat field. I don’t know what it was that ate the dog. That night the leopard entered the village. Bite a cow.The cow and the leopard fought all night. The leopard put its head against the cow's neck, and the cow's front foot was stuffed into the leopard's mouth. They were evenly matched. You pushed me over, and I pushed you over. In the end, no one came out. Without venting their breath, no one would let go, and stood there with their hind legs slanted.Until dawn, the villagers saw that they were still there, like a cross, but they were all dead.This news made the people of Gulu Village panic. If there is a leopard in Dongchuan Village, will the leopard not come to Gulu Village? Maybe this is a solitary leopard, and the solitary leopard is already dead, but who can guarantee that there is only this solitary leopard What? And the fox didn't blow up.Huanxi didn't dare to go home to sleep at night, so she slept in the cowshed and put a copper washbasin at the door, ready to knock on leopards and foxes whenever they came in.

Dog urine moss still ran to the road, he put dried chili seeds in his pocket, because those students dozed off while walking, he once saw a student eating with a spring onion, when the onion was spicy, he was very energetic. Here it comes, Goupiati is reluctant to pull out the green onions from the plot, so he puts dried chili seeds in it.He said: Onion is hot, tongue is hot, garlic is heart, only spicy pepper is deep, and the front door is hot and the back door is hot.When he said this, he took a bite first, and some students came to ask him for it, and other students asked him for it.The dog urine moss is very satisfied.Shui Pi said: "Dog pee moss, you run away when there is trouble with leopards?" Gou pee moss said: You also ran on the road, I won't run? The composition is not good, so leopards don't like to bite! They went back and forth on the highway, didn't speak, just looked there, and when they looked at people, they became pale. Dog pee moss thought she was dozing off, so he waved his hand in front of her. His eyes were open, but he didn't pay attention.The dog pee moss said: What do you want? Lao Shun chased him over, yelling back and forth for you to go back.Tianbu said: Lao Shun was afraid that his daughter-in-law would also run away in tandem.The dog urine moss just pulled a student back and forth, and said back and forth: How old are you? The student said: Thirteen.Back and forth: Where are you going? The student said: Go everywhere.Said back and forth: "Dog pee moss, look at him, he is about the same age as you, running around the world, you are nested in Gulu Village!" Old Shun walked over and pulled his arms back and forth, saying: "Dog pee moss, don't hurry back!" But Goupitai saw a student flying a kite, so he ignored Lao Shun and ran to watch the kite again.The other students held a red flag in their hands, or stuck a small red flag in their backpacks. This student actually tied so many triangular red flags to the kites and sent them to the sky. If you don't give it, don't give it if you don't give it, and he will follow others.Lao Shun is shouting: "Dog pee moss, dog pee moss, your grandfather passed the team and left, you also go with the team?! Gou pee moss will not leave, watching the kite fly farther and farther The farther away, the last is a cloud, which stops on the beam of the beacon tower.

It was dark, and the people of Gulu Village on the highway all went back one after another. Only Goupimosai was still waiting for the passing students, but there were no students, not even other passers-by, so he went back.The Angchi fish in the Zhou River did not cry tonight, but the clouds in the sky were like sand blown by the wind on the river beach, a thin layer flowing quickly past.Yangshan in the south was completely dark, Yijialing in the west and Beacon Tower Beam in the east were dark, and then the flowing clouds became darker and darker, and the basin became an overturned pot.On both sides of the dirt road from the road to the village, there are wheat fields, and there is still some light in the shadows. The wheat begins to bloom, and the pollen makes the wheat fields have some light? But the wind blows on the dog's urine moss, and the throat is itchy and coughs. However, there is a vortex in the middle of the wheat field, and the vortex is moving, so that the whole wheat field is shaking, and some birds and insects are crawling and singing in it, and there are panting sounds.Dog pee moss has never been afraid of the dark, where it goes dark, but now he thinks of wolves, leopards and foxes, the excitement all afternoon has turned into fear, and his scalp tenses up.Run, run! As soon as the dog pee moss ran away, its short legs seemed to be rolling a ball, squeaking and screaming.When he ran from the dirt road to the slope beside the hillside, he found that right in front of and behind him, even on the left and right, there were hares running, frogs jumping, insects with narrow wings and round wings flying, There are also cats and dogs.The dog is from Laoshun's family, and the cat is from the third aunt's family. Why are they all here?! The dog stopped barking, slowed down, and walked back to the village alley.Standing at the gate of his house, the hares and frogs are gone, the flying insects are gone, even the cats and dogs are gone, the grass on the tile trough of the courtyard gate is shaking, the grass is not dry, but has Lingling's copper tone.He felt like a dream.

The mother-in-law was sitting on the kang with paper-cut flowers. When she heard the courtyard door, she didn't scold the dog for peeing moss for coming back so late.So I cut her paper flowers again.As usual, the meal is shredded radish soup, so I can sleep well while coaxing my stomach.Dog urine moss ate a bowl, seasoned it with some chili peppers and green onions and ate another bowl, took the bucket from the toilet and put it outside the door of the small house, and climbed onto the kang to sleep. The mother-in-law said: Why are you so good today, you fell asleep when you came back?

Gou Uitao said: Are you busy cutting paper flowers? The mother-in-law said: I cut more in the dark today. I cut out another lion and held it in my hand to look at it. Does it look like the stone lion at the entrance of the village? The mother-in-law said: Are you on the road again? Dog urine moss said: There are many people on the road. The mother-in-law said: There are people who make a living, why don't you sell your eyes? Goupitai wanted to say something, but had nothing to say. The mother-in-law said: I cut so many things for you, but I can’t accompany you?! On the top of the kang and on the window sill, the mother-in-law cut out dozens of animals. She wanted to cut out all the animals she had seen, and also cut out all the animals she had never seen but heard of based on her imagination.But Goupimo Jinhei was not interested in these animals, and stayed silent under the covers.

The mother-in-law said: Are you asleep? Goupitai didn't fall asleep, he was still thinking about the student's kite and the cloud he saw when the kite was out of sight, and thinking about so many things leading him to follow him on the way back to the village.Whose cat is meowing in spring, like crying, crying so annoyingly, slowly feel that the crying tune has some taste, so I appreciate the crying tune, the dog urine moss really fell asleep in the middle of the cat's meowing in spring.He seemed to be complaining again that my mother-in-law made shredded radish soup, because I always blamed me for wetting the bed. Can drinking this shredded radish soup stop wetting the bed? My mother-in-law said let’s make dumplings, and they really made dumplings. Interesting, his dog urine moss also becomes a dumpling.Scared, those pigs, cows, dogs, cats, lions, tigers, horses, and sheep cut by my mother-in-law are all alive, no one eats anyone, no one is afraid of being eaten, and they are all making trouble in the yard.He played hide and seek with them.These things were so stupid that he could find them quickly wherever they were hidden, and he crawled into the Thumping Stone if he wanted to hide them, but no one could find them.But he thought it was boring to hide in the rock all the time, so he came out of the Thumping Stone, and they found it soon after he came out.He said: It would be nice to have an invisibility cloak, I can run around, and you can’t see me! Wow, the chicken wanted to give him its feather cap, and the cat took off its skin to give it to him, then The pig took off its shoes and said: Here you are! It took off a pair of leather shoes.The dog was so happy, he took off his clothes and wanted to put on the chicken's feather hat, the cat's fur coat and the pig's leather shoes. Before he put it on, the chicken, cat and pig couldn't find him, and said, "Does the dog pee?" What about dog pee moss? He said: I hate it, people can't recognize it when they take off their clothes? He looked at his naked body, it was a dumpling with the dumpling skin off, leaving only a shredded radish ball!

Goupiati laughed loudly, and the mother-in-law said: Don’t step, don’t step! Goupiati opened his eyes, it turned out that it was already dawn, and the mother-in-law was still cutting. She cut those paper flowers all night. The paste was pasted on a two-foot-long homemade cloth, and the homemade cloth filled the kang.The dog pee moss hid itself and did not dare to move, for fear of wrinkling the earthen cloth and the paper flowers on the earthen cloth.But at this moment, he felt that the kang was moving, and he flickered under his body, saying: "Po, po, the kang is moving!" Po was stunned for a moment, stopped sticking, and looked at the iron ring on the door of the small room.There was an earthquake three years ago, and the iron ring rattled and rattled.Is it an earthquake? Po looked at the hoop, but the hoop didn’t move, and the oil lamp on the window sill ran out of oil, the wick jumped and went out.The mother-in-law said: I didn't move.The dog urine moss said: move, move.Dog urine moss felt that the movement was like a fish breathing, like a cow sighing, and like sauerkraut fermenting in a slurry tank, a bubble appeared, and the bubble burst again.The mother-in-law took off the quilt, put her ears on the Kang, and said, "Oh, the earthquake is happening."Dog urine moss said: Earthquake? Po said: Earthquake.Dog urine moss said: Earthquakes are not earthquakes? The mother-in-law said: Earthquakes are the earth's air rushing upwards.But my mother-in-law was also surprised. The earth’s air rushing up all happened in the beginning of spring. Now that the wheat is almost harvested, why is the earth’s air rushing so strongly? The dog pee moss kept looking at her, and said: Is the earthquake okay? The mother-in-law said: Yes Well, everything grows fast when the ground moves.Goupimos said: Then I will grow taller too! After getting up, Gou Niomai stood in front of the door leaf and measured his height. It seemed that he hadn't exceeded the line drawn before, and was a little short.When he was in a bad mood, he walked around in the yard.The mother-in-law knew that he wanted to go out again, so she ignored it and asked him to clean the yard.Gou Uitai held the broom and swept it repeatedly, and there was a bang in the distance.Goupiati said: Po, is Tianbu bombing the fox again?! Po said: Let you sweep the floor, you painted the tiger’s beard on the ground? Goupiamos said: Last time the explosives didn’t go off, the fox hid the pills , This sound, did it blow up? The mother-in-law said: Clean up the yard before going out! Tianbu really exploded the fox.Last time, the fox hid the pills on the dirt road in the back depression. This time, Tianbu put the pills in the thatched nest under the soil in the west of the village. A fox thought it touched a chicken, and just bit the pills. It exploded, and the fox fainted.Hearing the noise, Tianbu came running, the fox was still unconscious, his mouth exploded.People in Gulu Village ate breakfast late, and just put down the bowl to feed the pigs. When they heard that Tianbu had blown up the fox, they came to see it. Many people gathered in front of the stone lion at the entrance of the village. All the foxes boast that the fur of this fox is good. And the voice of selling odds and ends was resting in Xiahewan last night, and came by bicycle early in the morning. They ran into Bacao on the road, heard that Tianbu had blown up the fox, and the two rushed over.As soon as Laisheng saw that the fox's fur was in good condition, he discussed the price with Tianbu.On the road, there are students in series again, singing songs while walking.Bacao said: Say no to vote, let me hang it on the door and sell it.He held up the fox's head, the fox's mouth was gone, half of its face was bloody, everyone couldn't bear to look at it, and said: Don't lift that head, it's scary.Bacao said: Is the tongue still there?I pulled my tongue out with my hands, but I didn't pull it out, making my hands bloody.So he smeared the blood on the stone lion.Zaohuo said: Let you sell, and the money can be sold to me and Tianbu? Bacao said: Isn’t it just a fox! The bloody hand wiped the eyes of the stone lion again, and both eyes of the stone lion were smeared red .Tianbu said: bully is not the one who pinches people.I didn’t even say to let Bacao sell it, I just said to the incoming voice: You run around a lot, what’s the situation outside now? The incoming voice said: The students in Luozhen don’t go to school, and the government and units still go to work, but they are also deaf to work. It looks like there are so many people from the provinces and counties, and the people in the streets are always making noises. I don’t know what’s the matter! Everyone heard the voices talking, and suddenly someone whispered: “The party secretary is here! Clear up the voice immediately. Bicycle, said: Tianbu, if you want to sell it, sell it to me, if you don’t sell it, I’ll leave, the branch secretary won’t see me coming to Gulu Village.Tianbu said: You go, you go. As soon as the sound was about to leave, the party secretary gave him a reprimand: What are you running around? There is a consignment store in Gulu Village, are you here to coax everyone for money?! The sound pushed the car away, and the party secretary said to Tianbu: Are you frying the fox? Tianbu said: "It's fried, you can make a vest out of this fox fur."The branch secretary said: I don’t want it. Kanxing’s mother coughs all the time and can’t stand the cold. Give Kanxing’s mother.The person next to him said: Tianbu doesn't show stars.Another person said: Why? Someone posted it immediately, and said something into their ears, and that person laughed.The branch secretary said, "Fiddler again, right? Are you here when it's time to start work?! Hurry up to harvest the wheat, the threshing field is not yet leveled, and the wood shovel is not cleaned up. Tianbu, you go and get the mill." Say hello to work! Tell him, no one should go out these days! The party secretary bent down, saw the eyes of the stone lion, and said: Who wiped this, what do you mean? Bacao admitted that he wiped it, and said: It's not interesting. The branch secretary said: This is the wind of our village, we must protect it! Ba Cao picked up a handful of grass and wiped it, but the more he rubbed it, the dirtier it became. He grabbed the dirt and rubbed it, but the stone lion's eyes were covered. For more than ten days after that, there were still more and more students connecting on the road, but the people in Gulu Village were busy.After the threshing floor was leveled, water was poured on it, and it was crushed over and over again with a shovel. The wooden shovels, round cages and dustpans in the Yaoshen Temple all removed the old ropes and tied them tightly with new ropes. Every family is grinding the sickle, and even the joy of the cowshed makes Shui Pi grind the black beans and start feeding and fatting the cattle.Dog urine moss can't keep running on the road during the day, so he must go to the cabin every dark. Some students have been allowed to stay overnight in the cabin, and they listen to stories about the outside world all night.
