After working for a few days, I was so tired that I peeled off several layers of skin. Most of the wheat in the field was cut down, and the bundles of wheat piles were transported back and piled up on the side of the threshing field, and then they were spread out again and again. Put on a roller to grind it.After grinding once, the wheat straw was picked up, and the wheat grains were piled up together with wooden stalls, and then spread out and milled two or three times, and the wheat grains were piled up again, and the wheat grains were piled up like a big tomb. Go home and cook, the men stay and wait for the wind.

After waiting for an hour, there was no wind, and the men also went home to eat, and after eating, they returned to the threshing field, but there was still no wind.When Gou Niati was cutting wheat in the wheat field, he and Niu Ling were responsible for tying the cut wheat into stakes with ropes for the adults to carry back, and then they picked up the left ears of wheat in the stubble field.On the wheat threshing ground, he and Niu Ling went to the cowshed to pull the cows, and then they pulled the cows and put them on the shackles.Lao Shun and Mo Zi yelled at the cattle to grind the field, and the cattle often had to shit, and the dog peeed moss, so they took a bamboo fence, and the cow bell carried a gourd ladle, and stood by the side of the field.Every time the cow's tail jerked, Laoshun or Mozi shouted: "Catch the urine!" The cowbell went over to pick it up.Shout again: Pick up the shit! Dog urine moss connects the bamboo fence under the cow’s buttocks. The cow is walking, and he is also walking, sometimes it is connected, and sometimes the cow’s dung is on the wheat grass, so he has to use his hands (扌字) with cow dung and thrown outside.People don’t think there’s anything wrong with it, saying: What’s so dirty about cow dung? Of course, dog pee moss doesn’t feel dirty either. They wipe their hands with wheat straw and say, “Whoever gives me a steamed bun now, I’ll take it even if I don’t wipe my hands.” eat.Lao Shun said: You have a beautiful idea! Now, we can’t wait for the wind, and everyone is sitting or lying under the tree by the side of the field. said.When the grown-ups were talking, Niu Ling interrupted a few words, but he couldn't get in and he liked to interrupt, so he quarreled with his heel and got slapped by his heel.Goupeia behaved like a good boy, just listened but didn't talk, and felt bored listening to it, lying there looking at the untwisted wheat sheaf stake on the sidelines.There are three clusters of wheat sheaves, two clusters, and some are planted there alone. At first, the dog urine moss thought that pigs, dogs, chickens and cats were talking together, and birds talked on trees, and trees talked to each other. But he didn't know that the wheat sheaves were also talking.He couldn't understand what they were saying, their voices were rustling, but from their expressions, he could see that the stand-alone wheat sheaf stake was scolding one of the two clusters, as if one of them was originally with the other. It was together, but now it is in a cluster with others.It took the sparrows to throw, and threw one, and another, and the three piles of wheat sheaves fell down laughingly.The dog pee moss still wanted to watch this dispute, and someone shouted: "Gou pee moss, where is the fire, where is the fire?!" Of course the dog pee moss was carrying a match, but because it was in the threshing field, it had not been lit. Responded, and ran to give this to the fire to that to the fire.After a while, someone shouted again: "Goupimos, where's the water? Where's the water?!" Goupiamos took a bucket to fetch water from the spring again.The spring water in Gulu Village is good, and it can be drunk raw in winter and summer. The water was brought, but some people still said: Who said you want to drink bamboo leaf tea? Who said, 咹?! , this time is also the thing he sells to everyone, so he is not tired and patient. Knowing that they still want him to pick some bamboo leaves and put them in the bucket to provoke him deliberately, he said: drink as much as you want Bamboo leaf tea, I’ll pick the bamboo leaves! Cowbell was very upset and said in a low voice: You’re so active, let me dry! The dog pee moss is for drying the cowbell on purpose, so he trotted all the way to the back of Changkuan’s house, There is a piece of bamboo there.

However, Tianbu was in a hurry and asked Mi Hu to raise a few wooden shovels to try to see if the chaff could be removed.If you are confused, the wheat grains and chaff go up together, and then fall down together, but you still can't raise them.The sun turned the shadow of the tree a bit, and the people under the shadow of the tree also moved.Feng Youliang said: "The top of the tree doesn't move, you have to beg for the wind!" Everyone said: "You have to beg for the wind!" Kuan Tata died when he was a freshman, it seems that Man Pot once went to college with Chang Kuan Tao, but Man Pot fell ill this year.Tianbu asked Ma Shao and Xingyun to carry a full basin.

He brought Manpen back, Manpen felt that he was lying on the kang on a busy day, a little embarrassed, so he patted his leg vigorously, saying that this leg was not his leg, and he thought he had no legs.But when he looked at the wheat threshing field, he couldn't help but blamed that the piles of wheat sheaves could not be built on the east side of the field. The terrain there is low, so what if it rains? Why are there only two rollers for the milling field? Why do you just sit and wait for the wind when you pile up the crushed wheat straw? Tianbu said: You are right, but now you are in a hurry to get the wind, so you beg for it.It is full of words that he has taught him to beg for rain, but he has never taught him to beg for wind.Tianbu said: If you can beg for rain, you can also beg for wind.Manpan said that I will try, but I have to find a three-generation single-pass holy boy.People counted their fingers. In Gulu Village, there is no single family with the surname of Ye, and there are many households with the surname Zhu, but there are no single family with three generations. Even if there are two generations, it is not that this family is dead Yes, that is, married or too young.Tian Ya said: The dog pee moss is a saint child, tell the dog pee moss to go! Ma Zihei said: The dog pee moss is a single pass of three generations? Bald Jin said: Do you know who the dog pee moss is, who is the master? Maybe it is the third generation single pass.Ma Zihei said: That may not be the third generation's single biography.The bald man Jin said: You just admit death! Coax the heavens.Changkuan said: God dare to coax?!

That's how Goupimos became a saint child.A basin full of dog pee moss stood in the center of the field, saying: Holy boy! Gou pee moss didn't make a sound.Manpen said: I call you a holy boy, you have to answer.Dog urine moss said: I am dog urine moss.Manpan said: You are now a holy boy! Ma Zihei on the sidelines said: Can't he be a holy boy, can he be a holy boy if he is not born well?! Tian Ya said: Have you ever seen the rain in the sky and did the four types of elements fall? The private plot was vacant? In the middle of the field, the dog pee moss said: Oh, I am a holy boy! Then you call again.The whole basin called again: Holy boy! Gou Niati responded loudly: Hey! In fact, Gou Niati knew that the child who was begging for wind was pretending to be a holy boy. He deliberately wanted everyone in the wheat field to know that he is now Holy Child.He looked up to the side of the field, looking for the cowbell, but the cowbell was being lifted to catch lice. The cowbell was unlucky today, and he was jealous, so he didn't look this way.There are red clouds in the sky, with bumps and bumps, and they are all blooming from the inside out, like roses blooming.There were many birds on the tree, and they did not come to eat the grains, but to sing.There are also dogs, there are dogs from Laoshun's family, dogs from Zaohuo's family, and dogs from Xingyun's family. The dogs all laugh, and when they laugh, they wag their tails.There is also a ladybug, flapping its wings very quickly, like a very small star.When there are shooting stars in the sky at night, the shooting stars must also have wings. If they flap too fast, the wings will be invisible.Manpan said: Don't twist your head, look at the stick! The place in the center of the field has been swept clean, and there is a stick standing upright, sprinkled with salt on the stick, and a porcelain bowl is placed on the top, and three sticks of incense are burned in the bowl.The basin was full of people helping to light incense, and the dog urine moss lay on the ground to see if the salt on the mallet had melted? The ladybugs were still sitting on the cuffs.The dog urine moss looked at the salt, but the salt didn't melt, but the sun made his scalp hurt.He can bear the pain, but after the pain, it itches, like wheat bran stuck in his clothes, like the bark of an itchy tree on his neck, he can't stand the itching, and wants to scratch his head with one hand.Full basin said: Don't move! The dog pee moss is not moving.When the basin was full, he sat down and began to babble.His face was pale, as white as paper in the sun, and the sweat quickly flowed from his forehead, to his nose, and then to his chin, where beads formed on his chin, falling down one by one.The dog urine moss couldn't hear what Manbain was talking about, but at this moment, he felt that his scalp didn't hurt or itch anymore, and it was very tight, as if it had been wiped with mud.But the knee was burned.Can't move, can't move.There are no pants on the knees, there is no flesh, the knees are bones, kneeling on iron plates, kneeling on nails.The salt was slowly melting, and the sweat from the dog's urine moss flowed into the eyes, and the eyes were blurred when looking at the iron bolts and mallets.Finally he said: "The salt is gone!" Manpen stopped chanting, looked at the mallet, and said: "The salt is gone!" Everyone on the threshing floor barked, all the dogs barked, and the birds on the tree left with a clatter The tree fell like a flickering quilt, and Tian Ya was shouting: Birds eat wheat, hurry up! People took brooms and raked shovels and drove them into the air. gone.Manpen said: Holy boy get up.But Goupiati couldn't stand up anymore, so he came over and hugged Goupiati and put it under the shade of a tree. Goupiati was still lying on his stomach, like a toad.

In the middle of the afternoon, there were indeed clouds in the sky, which covered the sun, and fog formed on Yijiao Ridge.There is white mist on Yijialing Ridge. It is either wind or rain. The wind is coming. Will the rain also come with the wind? Thank God, the rain did not fall after all, and the wind is not a strong wind. .The men lined up in a row, and the wooden shovel raised the wheat grains very high, trying to lift them into the sky, as if they were saying: "Heaven, heaven, heaven!" The grains fell from the sky again, like rain, as if Heaven is saying: Wheat is left to man, wheat is left to man! Wheat chaff floats obliquely, wheat grains fall vertically, and the pile of wheat grains grows bigger and bigger.People are covered in sweat, the wheat bran looks like they have mouths, and their faces are red from biting. The women cover their heads with papas, but the men are taking off their shirts.The confused tendons protrude one by one, and the belly is very thin, and the messy things inside can be seen.Banxiang said: Where did you eat the food? Confusedly said: Is it because you have nothing to eat that you are so thin.Banxiang said: The production team distributes food on a steelyard scale, who gets more than you? Look at Lao Shun, he is older than you, and he is not a side rib! ? Banxiang said: Who do you want to eat? Everyone laughed and said: Eat his own hands! If you are confused, you can’t talk, go to the bucket to drink water, but Bacao drinks with a ladle, one bite at a time Drinking, confusedly said: Bacao, you are not a bald man, cover your hat when it’s hot? Bacao said coldly: Do I have it, I don’t cover it?! Dazzling tilted the bucket to drink, loudly Drink like a cow and choke.

Until it got dark for a long time, the wheat was finally cleared, and everyone was so hungry that their fronts were stuck to their backs.But what to do tomorrow, whether to reap the wheat in the eighteen acres of land on the back plateau first, or to carry back the wheat that has been cut down in the front river bank to grind, and who will guard the wheat in the front river bank? Who will take care of the raised wheat grains, and whether the raised wheat chaff should be piled up on the sidelines first or transported to the cattle shed to be stored for cattle feed, these tasks have to be arranged.Tianbu said that he discussed with Mozi, but he was confused and slept on the threshing floor at night. Now he went back to cook and eat, and everyone would call it a day after dinner.Cowbell came over and shook the dog pee moss and said: "Does your knee still hurt? You think being a holy boy wins people. If you ask me to kneel there, I won't go there."The dog pee moss said: Don't dare to shake it, I will see sparks in front of my eyes when I shake it! He also said: Do you dare to go to the Qianhe beach at night to guard the wheat? If you want to go, let's tell Tianbu.Niu Ling said: "There are ghosts in the former river beach. Tian Ya is burrowing his head into the sand during the day, and he is only afraid at night."Goupimos went to pull the good man aside and whispered.

The dog said: I want to ask you something? The good man said: What? The dog said: Do you think there are ghosts in this world? The good man said: Yes.The dog pee moss said: Where are the ghosts? The good man said: You want to see ghosts, you want to see ghosts, when will I let you see them.The dog urine moss said: there are ghosts, so what do you think? The good man said: you sit at the crossroads in the middle of the night, wrap your feet with white paper, put a piece of white paper on your head, put a piece of turf on the paper, and put a piece of grass on the turf. Burn the incense, and the ghost will come after a while.

Goupi Tundra thought that the good man was scaring him, but he didn't expect the good man to tell him seriously, so Goupi Moss was scared, so he came to tell Cowbell not to ask to go to the front river beach at night to guard the cut wheat, but Cowbell was There was a quarrel with Ma Zihei in the distance.Niu Ling saw the badge when Mazihei was dressing, and suddenly grabbed it and left, but was grabbed by Mazihei and snatched it away. Niu Ling said that the badge was mine, scolded ten pockmarks and nine monsters, and one of them was not dead. It's all bad, Mazihei slapped him and said: "You scold me again, I will pull out your tongue!" Everyone pulled the cowbell away, but Mazihei seemed to have nothing happened, and said to Tieshuan: Tieshuan , let's go to Qianhetan to watch Mai at night, and you can get us a bottle of wine!

Goupimos didn't come over to comfort Cowbell, and even gloated a little.He went under the tree at the side of the field to get the piece of fire rope and put it in his arms, and went to pack the bucket. Just as he was pouring out the remaining water in the bucket, when he looked at the cowbell, he accidentally realized that he was going back to cook in advance. He did not take his shovel from the sidelines and leave, but walked over the pile of wheat grains, stepped on the pile of wheat grains, and the wheat grains buried his shoes, and then walked out of the wheat threshing ground with a swaying body.Goupiamos knew that he was stealing the wheat from the production team in a daze. With such a big shoe, he could pour out half a catty of wheat when he went back.

Hey.Hey.Goupiamo barked twice, and when everyone looked at him, he stopped barking again. The stove asked: What is it? Goupiamo said: A firefly! There is a firefly, and there will be countless fireflies soon , These insects fly but carry a lamp to illuminate their own way.Goupiomai cursed in his heart and was confused. With a sharp wave of his hand, the fireflies fell to the ground. He caught three fireflies in a row and went to the side of the field to pick a pumpkin flower from the pumpkin vine climbing on the wall of Liusheng's toilet. Put only fireflies in it and make a lantern, and the flower lantern will glow pink and bright.The house of Liu Sheng’s family blocked the rising moon, and there was a newly lit gas lamp hanging on a wooden pole in the middle of the threshing floor, but the light couldn’t shine through, and the toilet was dark.Goupimos was carrying a lantern. He felt that the threshingman couldn't see him, so he must be able to see the lantern. They wondered why there was a big light cluster in the sky without any worries, but how could they know this? It was he who carried the lantern! It's a pity that no one looked towards Liusheng's toilet. The people on the field began to pile the wheat straw out of the mill into a collection of wheat straw. Two of them were piled up, and they all opened their mouths from exhaustion, as pitiful as fish caught in a river.The dog pee moss returned to the field again, but found that almost all the people who had rested were not sitting on the piles beside the field, they came from the straw collection and sat on the wheat pile, or lay down on the wheat pile Stretch.After the third aunt sat down, she scratched her waist, and put a handful of wheat grains in her waistband.Elderly women all have their trousers tied up, so that nothing will leak out if stuffed into the waistband of the trousers.Even the third aunt was like this, Gou Niati was surprised, and guessed that everyone was probably stealing the wheat grains of the production team to some extent, and he was glad that he didn't expose it when he walked away in a daze. People are waiting for the dazed and follow-up to come after eating, and they scold the dog day for eating delicacies at home, and they still haven’t come! The mother-in-law is the wheat bran that has been sweeping down the waist all afternoon, and the waist hurts when she rests It was so bad that she asked the dog to beat her back, and the dog whispered: Pooh, they all steal wheat.The mother-in-law twisted his mouth.The dog urine moss said again: "It's really stealing! My mother-in-law blocked his mouth tightly with her hands." Goupimos didn’t say any more, but he was always unwilling to reconcile: Why do they all steal the wheat grains from the production team? The adults who usually look like dogs are actually thieves! How can we make them expose the matter of stealing wheat grains without letting them Knowing that it was his dog pee moss that did it, the little abacus of the dog pee moss was playing in his mind, but he couldn't figure it out. The confusion and follow-up finally came, and everyone scolded: Have you been doing things with your daughter-in-law again for so long after follow-up? Follow-up said: My wife sprained her ankle, it’s not like you don’t know.Everyone said: You don't need your feet to do that. Listen to this, you really did it.Then he said: If you do it, you can do it. Can you relieve fatigue if you do it?Everyone rushed over to hit the heels, and then ran away, scolding confusedly: I have a wife, and you have been waiting for a long time? Confusedly said: I have to go to the bathroom after eating! Another meal of scolding: you Do you want to eat? Are you eating well rope?! After a while of talking and joking, people's spirits recovered and they all walked back.Goupiati and her mother-in-law finally left the threshing floor, looking at the dark alleyway, the people in front of them were walking carefully, but they were all laughing and joking. Shout: The wolf is coming! The people in front suddenly heard that the wolf is coming, and they all ran away, kicking and clattering, and someone tripped, and someone shouted: "Shoes, shoes, my shoes! Hurry up!" Touch the ground, run away after touching or failing to touch.The mother-in-law was also shocked at that time, and she fell to the ground, but shouted: "Peace! Peace!" The dog urine moss responded: "Hey! Hey!" He hurried over to help her up, and whispered: "There is no wolf, it's me." shouted.The mother-in-law covered the dog's urine moss's mouth in the dark, and said angrily: You, you, uh you! The dog's urine moss was covered so hard that he couldn't breathe, but he was laughing in his heart: Steal, steal, why not steal ?! Thinking that the branch secretary or Tianbu and the others saw these wheat grains removed from the lane tomorrow morning, it would be interesting to investigate what happened. However, the next morning, the party branch secretary and Tianbu did not find the wheat grains scattered in this alley, they did not walk this alley at all, and there was no discussion in the village.Goupimos came to the entrance of the alley, only to see dozens of chickens pecking there, and they were happily chatting while pecking.The dog urine moss still smiled, felt itchy on the neck, slapped his hand, buzzed, and a mosquito flew up.Mosquitoes so early? When I looked at my hands, my palms were bloody.It turned out that two mosquitoes had bitten his neck, and he slapped one to death.The flying mosquito stood on the wall and said, "That's your blood, did you shoot it?!"
