If one day these ancient songs can be published, even a booklet, I think it will be very meaningful.What the ancient songs record is not the story that the common people have chewed through. On a night like this, I can't help but imagine what this vineyard looked like thousands of years ago.Was it a corner of the palace?Is it a small mulberry field?Is it the soldiers' camp?Did the "one emperor through the ages" visit here?Has he ever shot a big shark in this area of ​​the sea? [Ancient song fragment] Hundreds of buildings and boats sailed into the vast sea, traveling day and night, looking for Penglai, the abbot of Yingzhou.

Looking for the place where the sun rises, the water and the sky blend and sparkle with colors. Where is the misty sacred mountain, where is the splendid paradise hidden in the sky? The oars are broken and the sweat is like a tide, the mast sail is broken and the mast is cut... The oarsman is caught in the surge, and the belly of the fish dies in mourning. For ten days, the waves are raging, the storm and thunder roar, and the crowd kneels down and burns incense to sacrifice to the sea... Qin Bing wanted to throw away the boys and girls, but Xu Fu took the children and took them into his arms.

"The Laiyi root seedling is the eyeball of the subject, and my life is with it!" It rained heavily on the 20th, and the sun, moon and stars were never seen again. Hundreds of workers are lost, buildings and boats are broken, and there is no news when the strong man is gone... Sad for the crossbowman, hurt for the Laiyi people! How can I bear to call out the sages of Xu Township, weeping everywhere? I'm afraid I won't see the Sanshen Mountain in this life, and I will be buried in the sea without a tomb... "Although the man is dead, he is still alive, you and I must not insult Lai Yi's fame!

To sharpen one's ambition and one's heart, even though one may die nine times, one cannot abandon one's nature. The boundless sea bury the loyal bones again, the road is far away but seek virtue. The great achievements of the ancestors will last forever, and it is an unchanging agreement to go through danger together! I swear that I will reach the other shore, and I feel that the sky is smooth and the wind is good. Watching the stars and distinguishing the tides should not be neglected, work together and respond to all calls! ..." The storm is gone and the deserted island is trapped, and the road is far away in desolation!

All the paddlers are suffering from stubborn diseases, and the boys and girls are wailing. Three days without cooking, ten days without water. Searching for clear springs and walking along rocky ridges, praying for rain every night... Gather dew drops to quench thirst, gather herbs to make medicine. On the fifth day, there are countless sea monsters... The crowd shouted in horror and fell to the ground, and all the swords and halberds of the Qin soldiers were thrown away... "Three thousand virgins and men and women are quick to offer, this is the reward that the sea monster seeks.

Add refined grains and fats, and sprinkle them all over the sea to calm the raging waves! " Qin Zhidu's vicious voices are urgent, and the evildoers are howling wildly... Xu Fu ascended the heights and drew his sword, causing the crossbowmen to rise up and kill the demons. Arrows rained down one after another, and the giant demon mother Xi Dongfu laughed wildly. The demon mother's black claws are as thick as a mast, and the broken ship breaks and breaks the iron anchor. The spray waves are like a rainbow and the mud and sand are rising, and the heavenly soldiers and giant sharks are raging...

In crisis, building ships, in panic, officials! Xu Fu put on the armor of the ancestors and wielded the sharp sword bequeathed by his ancestors. Appoint the foreman, deliver the copper seal, and ask him not to destroy the great cause once. Say goodbye to everyone and go to death with one heart, and it is difficult for a strong man to survive when he enters the sea! A roar shook like a thunderbolt, and the warrior jumped into the raging waves with a sharp blade. The tide is like weeping and boiling, and the evildoers are panic-stricken and vortexed. Pulling the bow and drawing the knife, helping the warrior in the water to slay monsters and swing the sword...

Xu Fu traveled through the vast waves, setting life and death on the horizon. Pulling up a wild wave is like pulling a green mane, and stepping on a huge surge is like sitting on an iron saddle. The roar of the steeds shakes the valleys, and the vast waves travel across the mountains... The green forests are dense, and the rattan curtains are crowded. The drug lord is on the trombone, and the evil ghost is on the rock. The dark water cave is bitingly cool, deep and winding with thousands of twists and turns! The old shrimp pointed his spear straight at his throat, and slashed off the tip of the spear with a sharp knife.

A giant chapter binds a strong man, and the people of Xu Township are in danger. Zhang Suo tightly wrapped around his neck and was about to break, the warrior tried his best to bite through the huge rope. Zhang Mo trembled for a moment, and the sword pierced into the tip of his heart. The warrior jumps up and fights to stab, the sea is not blue with poisonous ink... The giant demon mother hides at the bottom of the Jiuqu Cave, her breath drives the waves. The water palace in Shifu is as wide as a hall, and it is a delicious meal to eat all the living... The black claws were covered with pustular scabies, and the eyes flickered like lamps.

There are countless poisonous insects growing under the purple scales, and the eyelids are as big as a copper plate... The demon mother smelled the fishy smell of Zhang Mo, and saw the shiny armor. With a whistling motion, it slapped the giant claws, and the warrior moved as fast as lightning. Kalala Demon Mother swept away the boulder and knocked down a few scales... The demon mother wanted to break the sharp blade, but she didn't know that it was the divine sword of the former king! pierced scales like iron, and shaved off an eyelid, The demon mother knocked Xu Fu down with sandblasting water, and the warrior jumped between her two claws.

With both hands straightening the sword, he hit his chest directly, and blood splashed everywhere like a tide! In an instant, the waves were dyed all over, and the ferocious sea monster was dying. The sound calls for the warriors of Xu Township, and the rising sun rises to the sky. The sun shines in the sun, and the armor shines brightly, and Xu Fei, who is beautiful, climbs the beach. When the wind dies down and the waves stop, horns sound and the boats set sail... ………… The fourth brother said that he heard the faint sound of artillery.None of us cared.One night, as soon as I fell asleep, my fourth brother opened the door and came in, rubbed his eyes and said, "I heard the cannons go off again..." I sat up and looked out the window.The fourth brother shook his head: "No, it's underground, it's coming from below." I held my breath and listened for a while, feeling nothing.I think this may be his illusion. For several days, the spotted tiger seemed restless and would growl from time to time.There was an unprecedented number of vehicles on the asphalt road flocking to the coast from the garden, and the horns were beeping chaotically.Some people parked their cars on the side of the road and strolled towards the vineyards; some simply broke in, and the spotted tigers drove them away without hesitation. Several women dressed in colorful clothes came pushing each other, and when they saw the furious tiger, they said, "Oh, what a temper, where's the master?" The fourth brother walked over with a gun, and asked with a wooden face, "Boom!" "Close the garden door with a sound, "Go away, no strangers are accepted here!" "Once a stranger and twice acquaintance, for a lady..." The fourth brother took off his gun and shouted angrily: "Go to hell!" They ran away with a "hoo". The fourth brother is no longer like the past, sensitive, anxious, angry at every turn, and sometimes impatient with ringing bells and spotted tigers.I've never seen him like this since I've known him.In the past, he could greet any hardship and suffering with a smile on his face.He's a man of many years... Of course, there's a reason for his irritability, but sometimes it still feels like he's changing, that he's not what he used to be. I found out that after the old people watching the fishing shops by the sea were evacuated, his temper became violent.It was a big loss for him to lose his old friends who spoke with each other. But he wasn't alone anyway. I think it's time to have an in-depth talk with my fourth brother.When he sighed alone, I walked over.My older brother had a sad look on his face, which made me extremely sad.The fourth brother's melancholy will quickly infect the entire vineyard, making every vine listless. He said, "I've been meaning to ask you, what's going on..." He smoked one puff at a time, frowning.I look forward to what he will say. "I have gone through a lot of things in the past, and I am not afraid. I think we can resist the past anyway... This time it can't, let's be honest, brother, your fourth brother is frightened and knows how to make trouble. What's the matter? Mile? Is it because you are old? When you are old, you are less courageous..." The fourth brother was talking to himself, pondering.I understand that he has been puzzled by this for a long time. how to answer?Looking at his thick white hair at the temples and his hunched back, I couldn't bear to continue.He clearly felt the gravity of what we were facing: we were in a garden that was about to be lost. Will the future be a promising migration?In other words, is there a place on this plain for such a beautiful pastoral? These questions have haunted him and haunted me for a long time. I want to say: it's not because he's old, but the problem we're facing is really serious, it's really unprecedented.It's overwhelming, it's true.This time we are confronted with a specific and widespread invasion that besieges and crushes us from almost every angle—forces us to abandon this garden.The problem is really complicated. In the face of this violation, it is almost impossible for us to win.This is the kind of terror that the fourth brother feels faintly.He was not wrong at all.This is very clear.All that's left to discuss is - what are we going to do? There are several possibilities: surrender the garden, surrender, and endure all unbearable humiliation; refuse to surrender, never give up, and persist until the last moment; Desiring it in my heart, holding on to it; in the end, rushing up to keep this garden, smashing myself... The fourth brother stood up and held the gun tightly.He stared at the southern mist. "Then I'll take the last step. It suits my temperament." I held his arm: "Let's be together, brother four!" Something hot surged through my heart.The spotted tiger came silently, clinging to our laps... When the fourth brother walked away, Xiaoguer came.She was dripping with sweat and didn't say a word.Knowing that she had something important to do, I encouraged her by saying: "You and the fourth brother discussed important matters, and I listened to them on the shelf..." I nod. "Are you going to leave one day?" I didn't answer. Gu forehead cried: "I heard it, you said that one day you will leave, the garden will be gone; I am afraid. Don't leave me. I will not cause trouble, I will work hard wherever I go, be obedient ——I listen to you... I want to work non-stop! I learned to cook and sew clothes from Aunt Bell, and I can do everything she can do. I am not afraid of hardship, nor for money. I just want to be with you together..." I comforted her and assured her that we would do everything in our power to guard the garden.If you want to go away, you must be together... This is a day to remember.Because on this day, my fourth brother and I spit out the stasis in our hearts.How encouraging that we have reached consensus on such an important issue.In front of us, all the complicated and trivial entanglements suddenly become concise and clear.Yes, it is nothing more than an inner decision. The female gardener still comes to play in the garden.She became more relaxed and in a better mood.According to her own opinion, anyway, since she can't accomplish the great career her mother hoped to do, it's useless to worry, it's better to play and watch. "My whole life, huh!" She pouted and wrinkled her nose—I noticed that she had a slender and slightly upturned nose, and it was carefully powdered.I suggested to her: Since the gardening farm is going to change production, can she be transferred to another gardening farm? she laughed.Turning his face away while smiling, he only glanced at me out of the corner of his eye—I hadn't seen anyone look at me like that before.She said: "Oh, comrade! You are so interesting, you let me toss around like this when I was young! Wherever you do gardening, you are also punished, just like farmers. From ancient times to the present, anyone who touches the soil has to be punished. To Transfer away, just go back to the city. My mother is a gardener and has several big books, but she is mainly engaged in teaching, and she is a female professor. She is respected mainly because of this! ..." This kind of strange theory reveals extraordinary intelligence, and I have never thought about the idea of ​​"staining soil"! I asked, "Are you primarily looking for respect?" "Well. But it's okay to be disrespected as long as you're happy. Of course, it's better to be respected..." "You have a bad worldview." "I don't care. Shit world view. How many years of words." I don't want to talk anymore.What I think is how many people in life and in history would rather suffer misunderstandings, and finally die in misunderstandings.No one ever looked up to them, and they didn't think about... like my grandfather, like my father.I don't want to say another word. The female gardener walked around the room and said to herself: "Anyway, you have to change your career, whether you want to or not... After the coal mines were exploited on a large scale, this place collapsed. Didn't you hear the cannons? The sound of the cannons from the underground has already been heard. I see you..." This reminds me of what the fourth brother said. "Can you hear it that far away?" "It's quiet at night, you can hear it if you listen carefully." I understand, what the fourth brother said is true. Our lad was running more and more frequently to the gardening field.He was obviously looking for the gardener.Our lad is still quite a child.I once said to him: "Let's go to some gardens less!" The young man straightened his neck and said: "I didn't miss work at all, and it's my freedom..." Yes, this is his freedom.It's hard to imagine that not long ago he was a brat who didn't dare to raise his head when he spoke, but now he's wearing jeans and a checkered shirt.Who would have thought he came from the same place as the drum forehead?They're so different...but I'll put up with him. When the female gardener came to play, I was tempted to speak softly to her.I almost didn't say: You've got enough lads around you, why bother our vineyards!Our garden is miserable enough!Besides, we will return his parents a healthy young man in the future! ... She muttered, "It's such a nuisance everywhere. You're the only fun around here...bangers! bangers!" The spotted tiger stood up all of a sudden, resting its paws on her shoulders.Her hand immediately supported its front paws and danced; the spotted tiger was very happy at this time... The disturbance of the vineyard increased day by day until it became unbearable. One of our "friends" from the small town came that day.Because the matter of the fourth brother troubled him last time, he had to entertain him. He ate grapes to his heart's content and drank a lot of wine. They brought..." I sent him out of the garden, and I warned him: Don't introduce those friends to us. We are grape growers, and we are afraid of contacting strangers!He was taken aback for a moment, laughed, and stretched out his index finger to draw: "It's so funny! It's so funny!..." A few days later, he did arrive in a white car, and as soon as the car stopped, he jumped out with a smile on his face: "Man, do you know who I brought you?" I shake my head. "Kah, guess! Can't even guess this?" How can you guess?There is no humor in this. A fat guy got out of the car, smiling, putting away his black glasses in one hand.A bit familiar; after careful inspection, I recognized an author I was familiar with when I was working in a magazine—he worked in an enterprise, and later wrote some "entrepreneur reportage", and then I heard that he was transferred to a department to do professional work up.He stretched out his fat hand all the way: "Ah, yo, I can't think of it, can I? I didn't expect to find you here! Ah yo ho can't think of it? " "Unexpected!" He pointed to the "friend" in the small town: "Thanks to him! I casually mentioned your name at a banquet, and he slapped his thigh and said that you are building a vineyard here. I said we are old friends, I You have to see it, you have to see it if you say anything! Well, hey, who would have thought that you could be fucked in such a small place?The family is here?No?I knew it wasn't... Old man, let me take a good look at your place! " He talked a lot, and his mouth was full of alcohol.I found that the fourth brother and his wife and Gu Er were all looking at the visitor in surprise—they couldn't figure out how close I was to him; but I knew they didn't like him. The tiger watched, occasionally looking at me. The fat man smiled at his "friend" in Xiaocheng, came over and patted me on the shoulder, and then went into the room uninvited—they walked into Gu Er's dormitory, and Gu Er followed behind.The fat man turned around again, and smiled at his bulging forehead: "Is it the female secretary? Now everyone likes this... How old is it? Huh? Very good. How long have you been working? Where are you from? Huh? Very good!" The forehead backed away without saying a word. The fat man looked for me, and seeing that I was still standing where I was just now, he was unhappy: "Oh man, is this how you treat friends from afar? You don't let the house in, and you don't pour water. Look, tsk! " I went into my room and they followed.At this time, the bell rang to bring fruit, and he turned back to take a cigarette. The fat man walked around the room with his hands behind his back, looked at the kang, and then at the writing desk, and hummed a few times: "Not bad. It's very rustic! Not bad, I will come to live with you when I get tired in the future, not bad." He gurgled water and smoked.The "friend" in Xiaocheng kept watching with a silly look. The fat man looked me up and down: "It seems that you are not going well? If you have any difficulties, just say... This trip is worthwhile. Even though it is a small place, it is interesting to have a few entrepreneurs. This time is the most important I met both of them, and one of them agreed to let me write for him... I am going to start writing next month. I have to come to see you first before I start writing! You are so lazy in our business no……" He craned his neck to look out the window, and saw the bulging forehead: "Hey, it's interesting that your female secretary is silent..." After eating the fruit for a while, he suddenly asked in a low voice: "How did you leave that magazine? Some people say you quit, but I don't believe it. The economic situation there is good. I guess it's Liu Meng, that stinky bitch. People. I know that girl's background best, don't look at her dressed like a dog, but she is actually a stinking thing... Hehe..." I figured it was time for him to leave, so I stood up. He took out a business card from his pocket, on which a series of titles were densely printed, including several words such as "International" and "National". He patted his chest: "I'll write about your vineyard tomorrow..." I didn't say another word. They were finally a little embarrassed.After staying for a while, the two of them met each other's eyes, climbed into the car... and smiled. I feel my head is a little swollen.That guy made me so tired... Fourth Brother helped me into the house.The fourth brother said: "I know that person is not liked..." I was very tired, so I lay down on the kang and leaned against the quilt. The fourth brother sat on the edge of the kang.I said, "I hid this far, but..." The fourth brother sighed and smoked. I didn't go to work that day, so I just lay on the kang.The fourth brother was afraid that I would get sick, so he stayed with me until midnight. ... Maybe only here in the sleepless nights there is a warm feeling, which is different from anywhere else.Reminiscing and imagining in the wind of this plain is a kind of happiness. I think a lot, the past, the future... I know very well - I have already spent half my life, so it is no big deal to live another half of my life.I know I'm facing a very complex and very simple problem at the moment - once the decision is made, all the complexity is reduced to simplicity.One only needs to have the courage to decide.Yes.That's right. Probably the same for you. Bai Hui, this is a simple yet complex question of how to spend the rest of my life.There was half left, no more and no less. People will be full of emotion when they stand on the fold line of time.I think of all kinds of people... a filthy person who dares not face the truth even at the last moment. The pity of people at this time is the real pity. ——Facing a judgment, I never forget to ask myself: Is this so?Do I really agree with this?Do I agree with joy from the bottom of my heart? if not? Yes, at no time can I be a spiritual pariah. Thinking of your bright and clean eyes, I am full of gratitude and tranquility.I miss you and look forward to you.You said goodbye to them, Mr. Bo and the violinist, and it seemed too late and too early.You're about to face a challenging life -- you've got to hold on! How ambivalent I am about your present choice: I have waited a long time for this choice, I have praised determination and fearlessness many times; but when it actually happened to you, I was worried again. How can you resist the extraordinary cold alone? Take care, my friend!My eternal best friend! How resolute and strong you are, I know this well; but I remember more of your gentleness, your kindness... Your eyes shine on others everywhere, and its light source comes from your heart.Together we will defend your heart. ... I walked on the rapidly changing wasteland, patiently searching.When I finally saw a yesterday's malan plant and a yesterday's path, I hurried to them. Their tenacious presence made me think at least one question: the plains don't completely lose their memory.What matters is that we living hold on to it, let it shine, let the light of memory flood the earth... Malan, your light blue flowers with peculiar shapes are talking to me.We all remember the pattering rain, and the soil beat the rain with a smell of burning leather; later, this smell was overwhelmed by the smell of acacia flowers wafting from a distance. A kingfisher flies by and rubs its hard, pointed beak against your blade.The gorgeous costume was too eye-catching, and when the raindrops splashed on it, it shook carefully.After a while, pigeons and butterflies came.Kingfisher left with an apology.Hua Die kissed you again and again.The pigeon cooed, it felt comfortable and happy in this rainy day, and snuggled up to you for a long time, it didn't fly away until grandma came.She picked up dry firewood and came to lead me back to the hut... The pigeon flew away, and my grandmother looked at its back and said: Let's raise two pigeons too! We not only raise pigeons, but also cats, hedgehogs, rabbits, crows... They can all live in harmony.The little cat was warned by his grandmother: don’t bully other friends, don’t bite them, and don’t stretch out your little hand to hit them—you heard that?Huamao was a little annoyed by the redundant instructions, squinted her eyes and nodded, feeling sleepy. When I followed my grandfather to Shagang, my mother always told me this and that: don't climb too tall trees, don't make my grandfather angry, don't run into thorn bushes... If you listen to your mother in everything, then lie on the ground don't move.Grandpa picks mushrooms or day lilies, and I will help him.More time is to play by myself.Closing your eyes and rolling down from the warm south slope of the sand hill is the most mysterious joy in the world!The long southern slope is full of fine sand, so clean that there is no trace of dust, and it is as warm as mother's skin.Every time I roll it, my cheeks can get close to it, and my heart feels warm.Once I climbed a tall acorn tree and hid for a long time among the dense branches and leaves.No one can see me. I deftly lay on my back on the branches like a hammock, shaking my body.Suddenly I heard a squeak, and my heart skipped a beat; finally I found a bird's nest on a branch a few feet away from me--what a delicate grass nest, with three fully feathered birds in it .I know they will be flying soon.They are not afraid of me at all, they open their mouths and call.I leaned forward and felt their tender little mouths kissing.Their fluffy little bodies, tiny wings, smooth silky feathers, tiny pink paws...the whole thing is a work of art!I think they are the most wonderful things in the world, perfect, flying flowers!There are also little rabbits and lambs that give me similar feelings.Those clean lambs staring at you will make your heart tremble.I hug them for a long time, imitating their incomprehensible calls... Looking at the shining stars in the middle of the night, I often wonder if this is the star from decades ago?The plain they illuminate is still the plain of grandma and grandpa—can such a plain really be changed? Never before has it become clearer to me that something strange and unspeakable is about to begin.It closes faintly, and there is a faint sound...everything is telling: it is about to start. It seems that I had this premonition a long time ago.Maybe just for this welcome, I came to Cape Dengzhou.Standing here, you can see the boundless surge—it was actually a piece of land earlier, it was the old iron strait before the land subsidence... Time has broken this solid, iron-rich continent, I don't know if I was pregnant with great compassion at that moment?It ruthlessly tore off the escape route of a class of people.So the Laiyi people back then had to stick to the cape and fight to survive... I gently opened a corner of the history about the Cape.So you have a basis for imagination.All your expectations and imaginations of me will not be in vain.Under your gaze, I will eventually go far away—to that plateau.It is the plateau of our dreams.On the clean ground of ice and snow, snow lotus flowers are blooming.Let me go and gather the supreme flower for you. Meizi cares about my pain—every time I get hurt, she sees it.As an "outlier", I bleed too much.I remembered that my grandmother had picked a hemostatic herb in the jungle here, so I crawled on this land. I wound up carefully.Plum, I carefully wrapped the wound. The most fortunate thing is that I have the fourth brother kidnapper, ring bell and drum forehead...they have been with me for a long time.I was thus a happy person, grateful and happy, like a nursed baby.My heart is old and immature, facing an ancient and fresh plain, I am excited for a while, and depressed for a while.It was you and my close friends who told me, supported me, and fed me, so that I stood firm. You guide me with your eyes, you show me the plateau.I silently recited your names a thousand times in my heart, started and persisted in my long journey. I must hold the plain without moving an inch.Because it leads to the plateau.The way to the old place is the only way, and it is also the eternal way.How lucky I am to be on this path. I will never back down.My wound is slowly recovering, and I am gradually able to stand up.I saw the fluffy green grass again... A three-year-old red horse gallops across the field.It neighed, with its long tail fluttering, leaped over the sand hills like lightning, and disappeared into the boundless green waves. The vast expanse of water flowing across the Laotie Strait oscillates endlessly, making a tearing sound.The sound spread from one end to the other, and the plain trembled slightly under its shock. I saw the horse—it was a horse—return; on its back was Grandpa.The old man I have never seen before is so heroic and miraculous!His stern gaze scanned the field before finally falling on my face.I took a step forward, longing to reach out, thinking he'd pull me onto the horse.But at the moment of hesitation, his eyes turned away again. The red horse galloped and galloped, and disappeared at the other end of the plain in a short while. I called out—no answer.All I could find was a long, endless track of hooves. ... I was thinking: what about father and mother?And grandma and grandpa?I guess they are all in front of the red horse galloping away; not only them, but also my tutor, the old professor who stutters, the teacher in Dashan... they are all together. This strong conjecture is too important.I finally suddenly understood where I was going.Tears of gratitude blurred his eyes, he muttered something silently, and ran in a hurry... I am the son of this plain.I understand it and remember it, and only in this way can I go through this vastness. During the journey, the only thing I worry about is leaving you, Meizi, and Mr. Hu.When I think of getting farther and farther away from you, I feel pain in my heart.No, we will be together forever, forever and ever, just like I will always be with Gu Er and the fourth brother and his wife. The spotted tiger barked loudly in front.I climbed the sand hill.Ah, a glimpse of it, the people next to it... My eyes searched again and again for other faces.How I wish to see you!No.I think when I climb another mountain, I will see you. As the morning sun rises, the rosy clouds reflect the earth is fiery red; aren't you the ones calling out in the radiant colors? "I am coming!……" "we are coming!……" Rewritten in Fenglu
