ancient furnace 贾平凹 5829Words 2018-03-19
This day was earlier than usual, and the people of Gulu Village got up and saw that the snow was still falling, so they didn't bother to clean the front of the door.The children always love snow. Standing in the yard and sticking out their tongues to catch the snow, they feel that the snow is not sweet anymore, a little astringent, a little bitter, and the taste is still choking, so they say loudly: Mom, mom, the snow is pockmarked.When the mother said in the room: nonsense baby!How can snow be pockmarked?When I came out, the snow was not just white with black pockmarks, it was completely black, Heixue.If one person discovers it in this way, dozens or even hundreds of people will also discover it.They didn't know what the strange thing was, so they ran down from the kiln and said that the mountain temple was on fire, and the fire had been burning since the middle of the night, and the fire was too big to be rescued.All the people looked at the top of Zhongshan Mountain, and some stood on the roof if they couldn't see it, and ran to the side of the village, only to find that the mountain temple was on fire.

In fact, Goupiati got up early, and at Niuling's house, he mobilized Niuling to take him to Aunt Niuling's house in Xichuan Village, but Niuling didn't want to go. When he asked what was the matter, Goupiati made up a lie and said that he was old. He went to Xichuan village to search back and forth.Niu Ling heard that he was looking for it back and forth, and he was even more unwilling to go. Gou Uitai stood in the yard angrily, his face was as gloomy as the sky, black snow fell on his body, and he said: Your heart is as black as snow!After finishing speaking, I was taken aback: How could snow be black? !I heard people in the village shouting that the mountain temple was on fire.Dog urine moss' first reaction was that someone was burning down the mountain temple!He lost his life and ran up the mountain. There were many people running on the mountain road. When they reached the top of the mountain, the fire could not be saved, because the mountain temple had collapsed. Almost all the firewood from the white bark pine was burned into charcoal, which turned red, then turned black, and smoke and gas blew out.The dog pee moss called out to the benefactor loudly, he rushed into the pile of coals, looking for the benefactor in the pile of coals, the straw sandals with snow stepped on the pile of coals, making a squeaking sound, but the sandals were not burned.The gourd was long and wide, and pulled out the dog urine moss, saying: The good man must be dead, the dog urine moss, this is a fire, there is no way to do it.Goupiati said loudly: "Who wants to harm a good person, who set the fire on purpose!"Chang Kuan said: You dare not talk nonsense like a dog pee moss!Goupiamos said: "I came here yesterday and a little while ago. He was sick and didn't cook, and he went to bed early. How could there be fire?"Where will there be fire if no one comes to set it on fire? !Changkuan slapped the dog's urine moss on the mouth, and cursed: I told you not to talk nonsense, just talk nonsense, who do you think set the fire?Was it the Hammer Team who set the fire, the county federation who set the fire, or the Tianbu Stove Fire?huh? !You came here yesterday or afternoon, it was you who set the fire on!Dog urine moss said: I didn't set the fire, can I burn good people?Changkuan said: Yes, yes, whoever set fire to the good people did what?This is God's will. If a good person doesn't come out of the monastery, he will be cremated. Now that he can't be cremated, the sky will catch fire and cremate him.

Everyone was convinced by Changkuan's words, and they began to count the coals and ashes that were shoveled and shoveled at the scene. There is a deformed tin enamel cylinder.Goupimos just remembered that the good man wanted to move the firewood into the house in the afternoon yesterday. Did the firewood fuel the fire so big that it burned down the mountain temple?Chang Kuan said that no one else set the fire, so the good man burned himself. If so, why did the good man burn himself to death? Did he have an unbearable headache after being injured, or was he completely disappointed after the white pine was blown up?Tears flowed while shoveling the clay bricks and tiles mixed with black ash and snow.The fat man in the kiln also came, and he was yelling at the good man: "If you die, you will die, but you want to burn all the white bark pine and firewood!"After hearing this, Goupiamos shoveled the mud and threw it back. The mud flakes fell on the fat man. The fat man came over and kicked Goupiamos, and Goupiamos fell to the ground.The fat man said: What do you want to do?The dog urine moss said: You speak badly!The fat man said: I just said it, this good man deserves his death!Come over and kick the dog pee moss with your foot.Changkuan hugged the fat man and said: What are you and the dog peeing about? !He picked up the dog pee moss, and threw it to the pile of ashes that he scooped up, saying: You little (Bone Spring) knows what, don't get out of here!Goupimos knew that Zhang Kuan was protecting him, but he still scolded: You deserved to die!The fat man couldn't get in front of the dog's urine moss, and kicked another kick on the ashes with his foot, and a ball of plaster flew over and hit the dog's urine moss right in his arms.When the dog looked at it, there was a lump of porcelain in the plaster, which looked like a heart. He wondered, is this a piece of charcoal? I broke it with my hands, but it didn't break; Is it a stone, but it doesn't have the weight of a stone? , the color is black, and there is a dark red in the black.Goupimos suddenly thought of what the good man said yesterday: I will leave my heart to you.Isn't this the heart left by a kind person?

Seeing the fat man kicking a ball into the arms of the dog, the people thought that the dog was going to smash the thing at the fat man again, so they yelled in unison: "Goupia, don't do anything!"But what I saw was that the dog urine moss was not annoyed this time, and hugged the piece tightly in his arms, smiling with tears in his eyes. Dog urine moss said: This is the heart of a good man! Chang Kuan said, "Everything is burnt to ashes for a good person, how can he still have a heart?" The dog pee moss said: Good people keep their hearts! Changkuan said: "Goupimoi has such deep feelings for good people. Goupiamoi is a stone and a block of charcoal."

Dog urine moss said: It is the heart of a good man! Everyone thought it was strange, so they came here to see what happened, but the dog urine moss ran all the way down the mountain holding the black and red lump. The fat man said: Gulu Village has some lunatics! Goupimos ran all the way, yelling in the village road, many birds gathered and flew above his head, and a dozen dogs, cats, and a group of red, white and yellow chickens all ran after him.That time when he ran home from the river beach, the dogs, cats, chickens, grasshoppers, butterflies, and dragonflies followed him, so he was proud and yelled at them, but this time he had no idea that there was something above his head Birds, there are so many dogs, cats and chickens behind him, he ran back to his yard in a hurry, only to find them when he turned around and knocked on the gate of the yard. Sorrow is joy, and the tone of voice has changed.

However, the mother-in-law didn't respond, instead she only opened the courtyard door a crack, pulled the dog pee moss in, and the courtyard door closed again immediately.Goupiamos said: Mother, the good man was burned to death, but he left a heart.The mother-in-law said: ah, ah?But he still pulled the dog urine moss to the upper room, and then closed the upper door.There was a fire in the house. The stove fire said: "The good man is dead?" The dog pee moss whimpered and cried. The mother-in-law hugged the dog's urine moss and said: "My baby doesn't cry, how can the good man die, how can he die?" !

Goupiamos said: The mountain temple caught fire, and there was nothing left in the fire, except for the heart of a good person. The kitchen fire said: To be honest, how can anyone still have a heart when everything is burned!Are there many people on the mountain? Goupiamos said: This is the heart of a good man. A good man told me that he would keep his heart. Zaohuo said: Are you crazy from fright? Gou Uitao said: Come and see, is this the heart of a good man! Zaohuo stood up and slapped the dog pee moss twice. The mother-in-law hugged the dog pee moss again, and looked at the stove in surprise.

Zaohuo said: He has been bewitched by an evil spirit, and I will make him sober. The mother-in-law pulled the dog urine moss into the bedroom, closed the bedroom door behind her back, and said: "The stove is on fire, the baby is still young, and the baby is scared."You say, you say. Dog urine moss was rubbing his mouth in the bedroom, his lips were already swollen, he hated the stove for being unconscionable, helped them pick up the mill last night, and gave him fried noodles with eggs and shredded radish soup from the stove, he still beat me? !He whispered softly: Day your mother, day your mother!Po and the stove were still talking in the room, and then the kitchen door rang, and then there was no sound. He walked out and looked at Po Ci standing blankly on the snow in the yard.

He went over to drag Po back to the upper room, but Po's clothes were wet and frozen, making rattling noises when she moved.He said: Mother, that is really the heart of a kind person.The mother-in-law said: I believe it.The dog peeed moss and shed tears, talking about the tragic scene of the burning of the mountain temple, the mother-in-law said: It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay to die cleanly.The mother-in-law and grandson put the heart of the good man on the cover of the cabinet.The old woman said: "The good man has no children, and no one will burn some paper when he dies. Go and get all the paper flowers that the old woman cut, and you have the right to burn some paper for the good man."Goupiamos went into the bedroom again and took out the stacks of paper flowers, where the mother-in-law and grandson set fire.When the paper flowers caught fire, they all curled up, and a pile of paper flowers burned like countless flowers. Those cut birds, butterflies, swallows, and dragonflies later flew up paper ash, floating up and down without a sound. On the roof beams, it slowly fell down again, and the cut animals, including cows, dogs, chickens, pigs, and cats, were all moving again after being burned, as if they were all alive Running and jumping in the flames.

Goupiamos said: Mother, I heard an opera last night, maybe the mountain temple was on fire at that time. The mother-in-law said: Oh.That's Tianle. The dog urine moss said: Tianle? The mother-in-law said: "The good man is leaving, and the heavens will give him music." Goupiamos looked at her mother-in-law silently, he suddenly remembered something, and asked: The stove is gone? The mother-in-law said: I didn't leave, people are in our sweet potato cellar. Dog urine moss said: How did you let him be in the sweet potato cellar? The mother-in-law didn't answer, and lit another stack of paper flowers, saying: Don't go out again today.

Dog urine moss never went out again.After her mother-in-law went to Xingkai's house, he thought Zaohuo usually ignored her, and even spoke harsh words to Xingkai. Now that she has found her mother-in-law, he still has to ask her to find Xingkai. That's too much.He was sitting at the door of the kitchen, and when someone passed by or knocked on the door outside the courtyard and shouted that my mother-in-law would borrow a thread kidnapper or a spinning cart, he would not say a word. Gai Li gritted his teeth, spit, and cursed in a low voice: I'm suffocating you! The stove stayed in the sweet potato cellar for a long time, and when he heard chickens crowing in the yard, he lifted the cellar cover.A young rooster suddenly quacked and turned around a hen, but one of its wings almost flapped to the ground, turning around and around attentively, the hen's face turned red, and she felt a little uncomfortable. He was impatient, but he still lay down, and the rooster immediately jumped up, and the two tails swung left and right so quickly, and they separated as soon as they touched each other.Before the dog pee moss could see what was going on, the hen stood up and shook herself, shaking violently, as if she was going to shake off all the feathers, and then muttered and complained, while the rooster stretched its neck and cried.With a wave of the dog's hand, the rooster was chased away.The kitchen fire said: Give the old one the old one, the little one!Goupiamos looked back and saw Zaohuo's head protruding from the cave, and said, "Do you want to come out?"The stove fire said: What kind of cellar is your house, the chicken coop has a big hole!The dog urine moss said: You feel uncomfortable, you go back.Zao Huo said: What did you say, can you say it again?Let you go to the gate of the courtyard to be on guard against people. Are you here to watch the chicken step on the egg? !The dog pissed and mossed and panted, looked at the stove, the stove was full of dirt, like a dirt mouse, and said: Are you okay.The stove fire said: It's not dark yet?Dog urine moss said: If the sun can have a tail, I will pull it off for you.The stove fire said: "Huazui, you!"Why hasn't your mother come back yet?The dog urine moss said: did not come back.Zao Huo said: Go and see, if she Xing Kai doesn't cooperate this time, you tell her, just tell her what I said, in the future, Hong Da Dao will come back, I can't say for sure whether she will live or die.The dog pee moss said: You tell her that!Zaohuo said: I will ask you to talk about it!Goupiamos said: You will bully me, she is a poor peasant, are you not afraid that she will expose that you are hiding in my house?Zaohuo said: She dare not, just like you and your mother-in-law dare not let me hide in your house!This made the dog pee moss angry and said: If you want to talk like that, I will go out and tell the Hammer team!Zaohuo said: "Okay, just go and say that you and I have given away the mill!"Goupiamos felt like a snake, pinched seven inches by the stove fire, and stroked the snake's body, every joint and bone was broken, limp like a straw rope hanging down.Stovefire's hand was grabbing a ladle from the bucket next to the cellar, gulping down the water, grunting and laughing as he drank, Goupimoss was looking forward to the arrival of the Hammer Team, and when they came, he grabbed Stovefire!What a coincidence, just as I thought about it, the courtyard door really rang.The stove immediately retreated into the hole even people and ladles, and whispered: Put the lid on, put the basket on, put on the basket!But Goupiamos also nervously covered the cellar cover, and put a basket on the cellar cover.However, it was the woman who came in. The mother-in-law closed the courtyard door when she entered the courtyard, and sat down on the thumping stone like a pile of mud. Dog urine moss looked at her face, he wanted to see from her face whether she was happy or sad, her face was pale, and in such a cold day, there was a layer of sweat on her forehead.The mother-in-law said: Why is my heart so flustered, come and touch it, my heart is about to pop out!The dog urine moss went close to touch the heart of the mother-in-law, and it was thumping, as if there was a rabbit inside.Said: What's the matter with you, mother?But the mother-in-law said: Do you see how many eggs are in the box?The dog urine moss went into the upper room, came out after a while, and said: There are five more, I will cook two poached eggs for you.The mother-in-law said: You hide the eggs well, and when the chicken lays another one today, go to Kaihe to change some brown sugar in the evening.What time is it, how can there be no brown sugar in the room!Gou Uitao said: I don't eat sugar, just change some salt.The mother-in-law said: Who said you?The dog urine moss said: Then who is it?The mother-in-law said: Xingkai, alas, is there no one to take care of the baby without a mother?The dog urine moss said: Give it to her again? !The mother-in-law stopped talking, and nudged the kitchen with her mouth, and the dog pee moss also nodded, but poohed at the kitchen. Get me sick from the cold!Goupiamos searched for dry corn sticks in the firewood house, built a tower on the brazier, and then took a match from the wall to light it first, and then burned the dry corn sticks.When he was fetching the fire rope, he felt that he hadn't taken the fire rope out for a long, long time, and no one was calling him: dog pee moss, bring fire!He first lit the match, then put a handful of wheat straw on the match and blew on it. The fire was blown out of the flame with one puff, but the flame went out again, and the flame still went out when he blew out the flame again. The smoke rose, choking him to cough repeatedly.The mother-in-law shouted at the kitchen door: Are you smoking badger? !Get out the brazier!Gouiamos brought the brazier to the yard, but the mother-in-law and the stove were chatting in the kitchen. The mother-in-law said: Oh, Xing Kai cried when she saw me, her stomach is so big, but Bacao never went to see her again.What's the matter? I don't even ask how the baby was born, what the grown-ups will eat and drink after it is born, and who will take care of it!Zaohuo said: Riwa doesn't care about the baby, she only knows who it is now.The mother-in-law was bored for a while, and said: Don't say that now.Zaohuo said: Don't talk about it, it's her business to have an evil, does she agree to go?The mother-in-law said: I told her, and she said that she and Bacao are in good spirits, if Bacao doesn't come to see her, she doesn't go to him either, he just doesn't care about me anymore, he has to take care of his baby.Zaohuo said: He is going to live, where is he going to have a baby?The mother-in-law kept silent, and said, "She doesn't want to go?"The mother-in-law said: I don't want to.Zaohuo said: This is not something she wants to do or not!The mother-in-law said: I also said that Zao Huo asked you to go, she said, He Zao Huo knows to find me now, why didn't he come to tell me?The stove said: Let me go?It's not a good word to let me go!The mother-in-law said: I also said that no matter how much you have opinions on the Tianbu stove fire, saving people is the most important thing. There are so many people locked up in the political training class. Some of them are unknown today. They all have parents, wives and children. Died in the Kiln Temple?Besides, if you save someone, can he still look at you differently?Zaohuo said: What did she say, or do you still disagree?The mother-in-law said: She finally agreed, but she was just worried that if she made a fuss, if the people in the political training class ran away, Bacao would definitely think she was doing it together with you.Zaohuo said: Is it only normal for her to quarrel with Bacao? With a woman named by the county union, is it normal for her to quarrel?The mother-in-law said: I am asking her, do you still have a bully in your heart?She said: I hate him, but what should I do without him?I said, "Since you don't want to let him go, you have to make trouble. Only after making trouble can you bring him back."She agreed.The stove said: That's all right! Goupiamos lit a fire, took the brazier and put it in front of her feet, and said: "Mother, it's not good to have a relationship with Xing, but if you make a fuss, you won't be able to pull him back?"The mother-in-law looked at the dog peeing moss and said: Oh.Zao Huo said: Stop interrupting!Wouldn't it be better not to pull back the bully slot? Sooner or later, the bully slot will be the food of the red sword. It's better if he doesn't go back, so as not to pull back corpses in the future!The mother-in-law said: If you save someone by using a kitchen fire, you should save them. Don’t do anything else.Zaohuo said: This is none of your business!The mother-in-law said: Let me say one more thing, stove fire, it’s good if you can save people at night, if you can’t save people, don’t fight hard, don’t dare to fight in the village again, look how miserable the mill is.The stove said: "Okay, okay."The mother-in-law said: ... Then I, I will do everything you asked me to do. My baby and I will go to Xichuan Village in the dark. Niu Ling's aunt and I are her natal cousins. She is sick, so I have to go.Zaohuo said: This is not good, where am I going after you leave?You cook first, and I will sleep in the cellar for a while.He couldn't say anything, and went into the sweet potato cellar again, as if he was still a little angry. After dinner, it was dark, and the snow stopped falling.The mother-in-law went out to Xingkai's house again, and brought back the news that Xingkai had gone to the Kiln Temple, and the kitchen fire put the ax from Goupiatai's house in his waist, and the mother-in-law would not let him take the axe, saying that he could take anything, this axe If you can't take it, no matter who you hurt or who hurt you, I've always been on my mind for the rest of my life!The dog pee moss snatched the ax first and ran to the gate of the courtyard, and the mother-in-law trained the dog pee moss again, saying: What are you running, you are letting people know!What the mother-in-law said was clearly for the stove, meaning that if you want to take the axe, the mother-in-law and grandson will have to yell.The mother-in-law had never spoken so forcefully before. What she cooked for the stove was steamed sweet potatoes, and she still took another cooked sweet potato and stuffed it into the stove's arms.Stove Huo became angry, put a mallet in his waist, and gave an order to Goupiamos: The cloth bag that he hid under the corn stalk in the corner of the yard must be taken to the back corner of Bacao’s house after he left. There's a pile of bean stalks there, right under the bean stalks. The stove fire finally flashed out of the courtyard door like a ghost, and disappeared in the darkness.The mother-in-law and grandson hurriedly closed the door, and let out a long breath. The mother-in-law said: He finally left!Goupiamos said: If he wants to come again, we will not open the door again.The mother-in-law said: Do not open the door.Gou Uitai brought the cloth bag from the corner of the courtyard to see what was inside, and when he opened it, it turned out to be a pack of explosives, which had already been equipped with a fuse.The mother-in-law and grandson were suddenly dumbfounded.The stove fire must have been passed by after saving people and set the bean stalks on fire, and then detonated the explosives.The mother-in-law and grandson picked up the explosive bag and went out. According to the grandmother's idea, the explosive bag should not be placed behind Bacao's house, and of course no one should know about it, so they threw it on the side of the village.After stumbling all the way out of the alley, I suddenly heard someone talking not far away, and my mother-in-law hurriedly put the explosive package under the Eucommia tree, and hurriedly took the dog urine moss to the third aunt's house.
