After serving more than a year in prison, Kuiyuan died of illness.When the news reached Maqiao, his old lady died with a mouthful of phlegm stuck in her throat.That's the point of the matter.The enmity between Kuiyuan's family and Yanwu's family deepened.Simply put, Kuiyuan's three older brothers smashed some glass in Tiananmen Square and injured Yanzao.Later in Yanwu, people rushed to the funeral of Kui Yuan's family, and lumps of dog feces were beaten on the spirit plaque, the altar table, and two coffins.When the two families were in charge of the fire system, the village talents invited Niutou to transfer from the middle.

As a result of the mediation, Yanwu made some concessions, agreeing to give 800 yuan to the rest of the Kuiyuan family as a "comfort fee", and the Kuiyuan family didn't mention the past, and all grievances and grievances were wiped out.According to the old rules, Niutou presided over the eye-opening ceremony, killed a black crowing chicken, poured the chicken blood into a dozen bowls, and all the men on both sides drank it.The representatives of the two sides each took out a temporary bamboo arrow and cut a knife on the arrow first, then put the two arrows together, and both sides broke them with force to show that they would not kill each other in the future—all parties insisted Arrow for.In the end, the two sides each invited an old widow who had no children and grandchildren.They held a bowl of clear water in their hands, put a copper coin in the water, took out the copper coin from the water, and slowly rubbed it on the eyes of the other old widow.one said. "People from Ma Yanwu's family hurt your people, don't blindfold your eyes, open your eyes, and keep in touch with each other in the future..." The other said: "The same pot brother of Hu Kuiyuan's family is yours, don't you Blindfolded, you have to open your eyes, and you have to have a good relationship in the future..."

They began to sing indistinctly; Everyone has a mouth, There are thousands of truths in the world. Everyone has two ears, In the world, the year of truth is said to be the year. Open your eyes today and see you tomorrow, My brother smiled. Meet today and leave tomorrow, Mountains and rivers are not every other day... The more lonely and poor women are.The more qualified you are to act as an eye-opener on this occasion.Why this is so, no one can say clearly. After the eyes were opened, the two sides immediately restored the fraternity, no matter under what circumstances, no matter who they were with, they must not mention the part of enmity again.In other words, whether there is reason or no reason, there is no injustice, and a bowl of water from the eaves has been washed away.

We have entered a new era, and of course the word "open eyes" has more and more new meanings.Niutou will also talk about the current national situation, such as the upcoming Asian Games in China, and talk about family planning, as an eye-opening guide.Both parties involved should also give Niu Tau a red envelope, instead of giving a pig's mouth as a reward like before.The two parties involved also have to "worry about the expenses" for the people watching the excitement around them. If it is serious, they will buy a meal, and if it is light, they will stuff a pack of cigarettes.Some young people that Kui Yuan made friends with have been poking around here for a few days, waiting for this matter.They seemed to be about to do something, but they couldn't say what they were going to do, and in the end they didn't do anything.They are like moths that tend to the light, they always go to lively places, they seem to care about one thing, they want to fight for the injustice of the world, where they go, drink tea for no reason, smoke cigarettes for no reason, don’t know where they go Gathering in twos and threes for no reason, from time to time, they will wink or smile knowingly.Maybe someone suddenly stood up and shouted: "Let's go!" Outsiders thought something was going to happen.In fact, nothing will happen. The group of them went to the small shop to take a look, then sat down under another tree, and began to wait in twos and threes again, and occasionally closed for a cigarette. For a while, that's all.

They cared about Maqiao like this for several days, and they finally got their reward: Yanwu sent someone to buy some cigarettes with mouthpieces, and some boxed drinks, to dismiss them. They were planning to go to Kui Yuan's house to take a look, but when they got there, they met a man named Huang Bao, who stopped him on the road and yelled at him.They didn't know the details of this person, they exchanged winks with each other, and another person shouted "Let's go!" - everyone laughed and left.
