A Hei Koshi 沈从文 5590Words 2018-03-19
I don't understand why it has been raining for so long.In the countryside, gongs have been played, but cannons have been fired, but they still fall.The fields and dams are full of water, and the roads are full of water, like streams, and waterfalls are hung on the high cliffs, and the rain never stops. Because of the rain, the water rose everywhere, and the business in the fields could not be done everywhere. Uncle Mao sat at home all day beating straw weaving and straw sandals to get by.At home, I saw Dianzi Wuming coming and going, like a cat catching chickens. Although he was wearing a straw hat, his whole body was wet like a rooster in water, singing, crying, and laughing at the sky at the same time. To.

The old man said: "Dianzi, sit until you have a rest, don't do this!" "Do you think I can't sing?" After saying that, he sang loudly: "There is a steep slope in front of Jiao's house. Others walk a lot, and the iron straw sandals are worn out. Isn't it for you?" After singing, he asked his father. , "Father, which one do you think I am for? Tell me! Which one am I for? Oh, the straw sandals are worn out, let's change a pair." So he went to the room where the straw sandals were kept, and took a new pair of straw sandals from the wall. Come, try and try, don't ask how dirty your feet are, put on a new pair of straw sandals, and go out immediately.

The old man stopped the gavel, sighed when he saw the figure behind him, and shook his head.The head is shaking, half white. He thought for Dianzi and himself, but he couldn't think of a way.Things are difficult to deal with, just like falling rain, who knows what will happen if this continues?The old man suffered so much because of Diaozi's affairs.Dianzi is still going down, I don't know when it will be better.It doesn't matter if it's not good, or if it's not good, he will die. Although the old man is more lonely and lonely, but in terms of Diaozi, he will probably not feel any sadness.But when is the time for Dianzi to die?Maybe he died first, and after that, Dianzi would be left alone to take care of him. He would go to various villages and houses to beg for food, and people would point out that this was retribution.

The old man is not a person who does bad things, this immediate retribution has already embarrassed the old man, how can he bear the harsher fate! Seeing Wu Ming go out, Uncle Mao sighed, shook his head, and slapped the straw at his feet vigorously, tears streaming down his face.It's like rain falling on my head, and my heart is completely cold.In fact, his chest was already full of tears, and he couldn't stop it from spilling out at this moment. Where did Dianzi Wuming go now?He went to the oil workshop, went inside the oil workshop, and sat on the cold and damp waste stove to lose consciousness.No one knows why Dianzi's heart is beating, no one knows what Diaonzi was looking for from the desolate house utensils, and what he has already obtained.

This place is so decadent and desolate. If it wasn't for the people who saw all the bustle and prosperity in those days, they would never believe that this is a big place where people once lived and everything is missing, but it is no longer a place. .Now it is only suitable to let snakes live, let bats live, let wild dogs and cats bring dead children to gather for food, and let ghosts hold meetings here.The place is so bad that even beggars dare not come to live in it, so the ground is very moldy and wet with white hairs, like the deserted temple with ghosts mentioned in "Liaozhai". No one can stand up to anyone, but Dianzi doesn't care at all.

Dianzi Wuming sat on the stove, looked around, looked at the rafters and the ground, looked at the oil press that stood alone in the dark corner like a murder frame in the palace of Hades, looked at the broken altars that used to hold oil, looked at it again and again. Feel great interest.What filled his heart was the prosperity and glory of the past, and for this memory, he forgot all about the current situation. He yelled, "Friend, buddy, work harder!" This was to the oiler. He shouted loudly again, speaking to another place, like the cow that dragged the big thin stone mill and made a big circle in the center of the room.He called the cow a sensible and well-behaved animal, and said that he could not eat more dry straw, because he would pant after eating too much.He remembered the unruly behavior of that well-behaved beast, so he had to use a small whip to beat him, so he jumped off the ground immediately, and circled the center of the room like a cow, yelling at the cow aggressively, and raised his hand to beat him. .

He talked to himself again, reminiscing about the old days with the fire burner, and asked the fire burner if he could go out to see the fish pots by the stream. "Odd, there are a lot of fish! I saw him pull the fish. What I saw was crucian carp. I can see it clearly. I bet it. It's a good thing that we don't allow poisoned fish in our river this year. That village agreement, may the Bodhisattva Bless him, his order has saved my luck. I think you'd better catch it. We'll drink at night, and I'll pay for it. You go, and I'll watch the fire for you. I can handle your errand, Don't worry... Duh, brother, what are you afraid of him doing? If you say I want you to go, I won't scold you. If you catch fish, you just break it and dig out the intestines. You can’t eat after you’ve been fed. Brother, believe me and go quickly. If you don’t go, I’ll be angry!”

The talking Dianzi Wuming, in order to prove that he could replace the fire burner, went to the stove, picked up the bricks and broken tiles on the ground, and threw them into the stove.Although the stove is wet and cold, once something is thrown in, from Dianzi's point of view, it feels that the stove is suddenly glowing with bright flames because of the addition of fuel. So I was busy stepping back a little and standing a little farther away. He was happily watching the fire there, blowing his whistle verbally.In the past, if you whistled by the stove, the fire would get wind and roar.At this moment, in Dianzi's eyes, Huo was indeed roaring.Since the fire in the stove became angry, he jumped with joy.

He saw not only the roar of the fire, but also the swinging of the oil hammer, the oxen circling in the house, the oil cake as high as a city wall, and many people wearing rawhide clothes and pants everywhere in the house. move around! He called out the names of many people, and when he seemed to get an answer, he made a child's eyebrows and eyes playfully, and treated all the workers, which was regarded as the courtesy of the little master. The rain from the sky fell harder and harder, but Dianzi Wuming was not affected at all. Poor man, after playing for a long time, a new pair of straw sandals left some new mud marks in the oil workshop, and when he realized that the straw sandals were no longer new, he remembered what he had done.

He burst into tears, accompanied by the sound of rain outside.He cried and went to the oil press, and went to touch the oil tank. There was only a puddle of yellow water in the oil tank, which looked like horse urine. Why is everything going so fast?Why does every person have to have two different destinies?Why did yesterday's oil mill become today's oil mill?Although Dianzi was confused, he still took this question to heart. He remembered the oil factory, and it had been a long time since it was the same as the oil factory back then. He remembered why the oil factory declined, and he remembered who else was in decline like the oil factory.

He cried loudly, sat down on a broken jar, and tested the inside of the jar with his hands.The jar where the oil was originally stored was also half full of dirty water, so I cried even more sadly.When the rain fell last May, Dianzi Wuming and Ah Hei were sheltering from the rain in the Wangjiapo stone cave.Whether you come here to avoid the rain, or to avoid other things, and then save it for the rain in the end, it is not easy to separate it from Wuming's thinking.At that time, the rain was so heavy, but it was just falling, and the blue sky could still be seen on the other side of the sky, and the shadow of the sun could still be seen in the distance below the mountain.The rain is falling, it is raining, and it cannot stay for a long time, just like the two of them cannot stay in the cave for a long time. Girl Ah Hei, who had been entangled enough by Wu Ming, stretched her arms upwards, pretending to yawn.Wu Ming has a strange temper, but he looks down from the end of her arm to her side.The ones that grow in places that are not sunny and in the corners are thin yellow grass-like things. Wu Ming was not afraid of being abrupt, and was fascinated by this thing. When Ah Hei lowered his hands, he was still thinking about the wild fun, and he was slapped by Ah Hei. "Why did you hit me?" "Because you're crazy, I can see that you must be thinking of Pei's Sanqiao." "You've been wronged to death." "You swear you're not." "I bet! It's okay to run in front of the king of heaven, he is right..." "What is it, you say." "If I hadn't been thinking of you, I would have been beaten to death by Lei tomorrow." "Ray doesn't beat anyone who tells a fib in front of a lover." "You're mad at me. You're really..." Wu Ming seemed to be about to cry, because he was wronged, and he couldn't say no to Ah Hei. Tears are one of this kid's abilities. "This is cat urine too! Brat! As soon as you cry, I'll leave." "Who is crying? You have wronged someone, and you are not allowed to argue, and you still laugh at others." "Only those with a guilty conscience like to clean up. A person with a serious heart will not be afraid of injustice." "I'll bite your tongue to see if you can still talk." What Wu Ming said must be done, and Ah Hei still has the power to do it or not.But at this moment, Ah Hei, in order to comfort Wu Ming, who was wronged and about to cry, relaxed his guard a little and let Wu Ming bite his tongue. He bit her lips again, bit her ears, bit the tip of her nose, he had to bite lightly on almost everything that was protruding and accessible.It means that this kid has the courage to eat Ah Hei raw. "Wu Ming, I say you are a dog, greedy, greedy, pitiful, and disgusting." "I'm a dog!" Wu Ming rolled his eyes, acting like an idiot.He put down his tongue again, swallowed, and continued, "Sister, you called me a dog last time, and then you really became a dog, this time—" "Slap your mouth!" Ah Hei stretched out his hand to hit me. You're welcome, this is Ah Hei's privilege. The beating was really beaten, but Wu Ming, who was spitting face, still did not change his saliva. When a man is slapped in the face by a woman's hand, this pain is another kind of fun, and it cannot be cited as being beaten by a teacher as the same kind.At this time, Wuming, who was beaten, took the palm of the board as a cake, and licked that hand with his tongue, as if there was sugar in his hand. This boy Wu Ming, on Ah Hei's hand, felt that it really had a loquat-like taste, so he said honestly: "Sister, you are a loquat, it is fragrant and sweet, and the taste is really good!" "I'm going to hit you again when you speak strange words." "Why are you so fierce? What others said is sincere." "I've heard you say it a hundred times." "I don't think it's too much to say it a hundred times. Are you tired of hearing it!" "Your words are like eating tea berries, they will be tasteless after the second time you eat them." "But loquats are delicious even if I eat them all my life." "Ghost, keep your mouth clean." "Is this dirty for you? I said eat, who taught you that you are born sweeter than sugar?" Ah Hei knew that rebuttals would be fruitless, even if Wu Ming was refuted, this kid would still cry and submit to others like a woman, so he didn't argue with him.She smiled, and seeing Wu Ming smile, she felt that Wu Ming's pair of eyes could really be regarded as utensils for eating.Wu Ming was hungry, and she mentioned a big desire from some snacks, and she was going to set up a table in this cave to treat guests. She pretended not to care about it, and tied her own garland to play. Seeing that Ah Hei had nothing to say, Wu Ming stopped nagging himself. He looked at Ah Hei. Looking at Ah Hei, one can see not only Ah Hei's face, but also the elephant's shoulders, waist, chest, belly button, and legs.Wu Ming's behavior is really unruly, what he thinks is that Ah Hei is naked by his side, so that he can be presumptuous.But a person is a young man after all, in the actions of Ah Hei who uses his adult status at all times, he was afraid that he would offend Ah Hei, and the two broke off friendship, so although their hearts were brutal, they were very docile. Before Ah Hei agreed, he would Never boldly say yes. He seemed to be standing in front of a bowl of good food, knowing it was delicious, but he didn't dare to dip his hand into his mouth.It is a common phenomenon for children to be obsessed with good food, so Wu Ming remained silent. The two of them kept silent and just listened to the rain.The rain had passed by this time.The loud sound is just a drip on the rock.This has become residual rain, if Wu Ming is a scholar, he will take Yu's words as jokes. After a while, Ah Hei, who had finished making the garland and put it on his wrist as a big bracelet, suddenly asked Wu Ming, "Ghost! Pei Sanqiao looks good!" Wu Ming gave the wrong answer, but agreed to say "yes". Ah Hei said, "Yes, this woman has long legs and a small waist. Many people like it." "I'm not happy," even though he agreed in this way, he was still careless, the boy had already forgotten what happened a while ago. "Why do you say she is good if you are not happy?" "Could it be that you are happy with her?" "But at this moment you must be thinking about her again." Ah Hei made it difficult to understand this on purpose. "Here again, why do you say again? I just wronged someone, and now you are here again, you are the 'again'!" Why doesn't Ah Hei know that Wu Ming has been wronged.But if the method is used in this way, Wu Ming can hear some good things in his ears again.Ninety-nine out of a hundred women are willing to listen to good words, as long as the words are sincere on the part of the man.From some flattery, she can see the loyalty of the captive, he can hold his own soul.Although Ah Hei is a countryman, I am afraid that the countryman also understands this matter, it is instinctive.Forced to ask who he said he was thinking about, he knew that the answer was not far from the two of them, and because of this, he could "sit at the table" which was what Ah Hei meant.For the past month, Ah Hei has needed Wu Ming more than Wu Ming needs her.But on the other hand, in order to take care of Wu Ming's body, he dare not be very indulgent. When she saw that Wu Ming was in a hurry, she said that it was her fault and she apologized. Speaking of apologizing, he hugged Wu Ming and put his tongue into Wu Ming's mouth. Wu Ming smiled.The boy can get this kind of reward number in both defeat and victory, but the disadvantage is when the two of them talk and laugh.The kid soon got carried away, and fell asleep on Ah Hei, refusing to stand up, and Ah Hei couldn't do it either.The bad temper was actually developed by Ah Hei. Ah Hei was sitting on a mat made of dry straw at this time, Ah Hei had used grass as a bed five or six times in half a month.This soft bed is also sprinkled with all kinds of wild flowers, and the decoration is more suitable than many bridal chambers. If Wu Ming is a poet, I don't know how many lifetimes he will write poems.He put his head on Ah Hei's lap, Ah Hei was sitting, but he fell asleep.For a person who is an emperor, if he counts the affairs of sitting in court every day, happiness can still be measured with a scale. If you try to weigh it, you may not have the happiness of the five Mings in this season! Wu Ming squinted at Ah Hei, and closed his right eye.A naughty child, the naughtier part is the unruly hands. "Ghost, aren't you enough?" These words were said to Wu Ming's hand, which was traveling to Miss Ahei's chest, lingering and not moving. "How can this be enough? Forever, a lifetime of dreaming and sleeping is not enough." After saying this, he pressed his hand hard. "You really haunt people." "I'm not a goblin. Others say you women are goblins, and you will get sick if you pester everyone!" "Ghost, then why aren't you sick?" "You just said that I stalked you to death. I'm a ghost, and ghosts are also sick!" Ah Hei bit his lip and tried to pinch the tips of Wu Ming's ears with his hands, and Wu Ming made ghost noises.But when Wu Ming saw this row of white teeth, like a row of little jade-colored babies, he stuck out his tongue and started acting like a ghost. "Bodhisattva, save my life." Ah Hei pretended not to understand. "If you don't save me, I'm going crazy." "Then we villagers can make crazy people happy all day long!" "Crazy or not, I want to..." "You forgot that you will have a stomachache if you hurt yourself after eating." "At this time, my stomach hurts too!" After saying that, he groaned, pretending to be serious.In fact, this method of treatment is also considered necessary in the eyes of Ah Hei, but Wu Ming is too ignorant. ignore. "Save people, do good deeds!" "I don't know what a good thing is." "You don't know? I'm willing to die if you want me." "What does your death have to do with me?" "You are happy, you just said that I am crazy, and the villagers can make the madman happy all day long!" "You ghost, will you really become a lunatic one day?" "Look, don't be mad when someone snatches you from me." "Hey ghost, tell a lie." "Swear! If it's false, that day..." "Don't stay... I just say you will never be crazy now." Wu Ming thought that what he said was wrong.Because since it is said that Ah Hei is only crazy when someone snatches him away, since he is by his side at this time, it can be seen that he is not crazy.He is not crazy, but anxious, Ah Hei, what he said first is obviously the nonsense of the children. But he knew Ah Hei's temper, and he had to beg hard for anything he wanted to do.Originally, when a man deals with a woman, it is more convenient to get the result by being brutal than to ask, but Wu Ming is weak, and he can't beat Ah Hei, so there is nothing but begging.When he sometimes knows to use his hands to help in entreaties, it is easier for Ah Hei to surrender.This, sometimes Wu Ming remembered, and sometimes he forgot, so Wu Ming always felt that touching Ah Hei's temper was more difficult than touching Ah Hei's other tangible things. I can't remember using my hands, and it's not that I can't remember at all. It's just that Ah Hei's face is more serious at one time, and Wu Ming's hands don't dare to act wildly. Seeing that Ah Hei was unhappy, Wu Ming thought about it, and sang a song when he thought of the troublesome words.He gently sang it to Ah Hei, the song was the original song sung by people in previous years. Clouds and flowers bloom in the sky, Bean pods grow in the valley forest; The pods entangle the corn-tree, The charming younger sister pestered the younger generation's family. Ah Hei laughed, admitting that it was a bean pod, but he did not admit that corn was a badly entangled thing.But Baogu who was entangled always ended up half dead, and Ah Hei also felt that it was a good reason why he couldn't always enjoy Wuming!Although Wu Ming knows how to sing, he doesn't forgive Ah Hei's kindness. The younger lover is really not easy to deal with.Wu Ming, who finished singing, saw that Ah Hei didn't come to pester him, but instead hugged Ah He tightly. Ah Hei said, "Look, the corn is also wrapped around the pods!" "Hengshun wants to wrap around, why can't Baogu wrap around the pods?" Wu Ming, who speaks forcefully, is only suitable for other things. He lacks genius in speaking, but he is still a warrior in another matter. Therefore, even though Ah Hei smiled, he didn't care about it, and then he was dumbfounded on Ah Hei's face. I sucked it everywhere with my mouth.Ah Hei then put the woven wreath on Wu Ming's head. If according to Wu Ming's theory, Ah Hei is a lump of sugar, then Ah Hei should also melt. Ah Hei was finally about to melt, and it melted in a short while.Not for the sun of heaven, not for anything else.It was for Wu Ming's stay. God knows why people have two moods during the two rains.Wuming Dianzi is really crazy.Wuming, who was upside down, was sitting on the jar and laughing. He thought of the situation when Ah Hei had melted, and the situation when he and Ah Hei had merged into one piece, and felt that it was time to go to the back slope cave again. (There, Ah Hei was probably waiting for him.) Regardless of how heavy the rain was, he huddled up, hid himself under the bamboo hat, and went out of the oil mill to the back slope cave.
