Chapter 14 my primary education
Wooden puppet show on February 8th, the birthday of the Buddha of the Earth, there are plenty of shows on the streets!In front of the Earth Hall, as long as there is an open space about two feet wide, the fight can start.
This kind of wooden puppet show is not so much for entertaining an old couple in the land, it is more appropriate to say that it is for amusing the children of the whole street.For other achievements, for example, it takes 30 catties to make a big sacrifice with pepper noodles alone. When you donate money, most of them talk about how rich or poor your family is; How many children.For example, there are five sisters in our family. Although they know that they will not have more grain and rice than the opposite Zhang family, they always donate a lot of money.If you don't donate, it won't work.It doesn't matter if the children go to the theater or not.But if you have twice as many children as others in your family and donate too little, you will feel embarrassed in your own conscience.
Although the play didn't start until after breakfast in ordinary people's houses, very early in the morning, the place would have been cleaned up by someone.Only "there is a lot of pig feces in front of the Land Hall". In normal times, it is almost a routine for pigs to unload their excrement in front of the Land Hall. Everyone complained, so on this day, the pigs were imprisoned.If you are happy, stand in front of your door early, and you will always see the play box passing by. We don't need to ask the person who put the box, we can know that it is the "manager".Each box is carried by two water bearers. There are all kinds of beautiful golden red lacquer flowers on the box, nails, and gold paper cut auspicious characters "golden ten thousand taels" and a big oxtail lock. Close up some wooden figures.Heh, imagine those painted faces, danjiao, especially clowns who like to laugh, with white powdery tofu sticking on their noses, short beards... and they are sleeping together in that big wooden box What are you going to do here?It's so memorable!We can also see a group of elderly uncles and mothers-in-law who moved the stools to occupy seats in advance.Those who do business, such as Guanghe's rice tofu burden in this street, and Baoniang's pickled radish basket, also went to find the site quite early.
After dinner, 16 big characters, daily homework as usual, in a careless and casual manner, after tracing it with light ink on a piece of old paper, what is waiting for is "afternoon". Thirty coins have been made.As for the use of money, it must be arranged in advance.The bill for all expenses is roughly as follows: a bowl of noodles (or dumplings), twelve Wen.
One section of sugarcane, three texts.
Sour radish (or garlic sprouts), Wuwen.
Sixi's cold cake, Siwen.
Lao Qiang's mother's Gaoliang sweet wine, Sanwen.
Yu Sanwen is the temporary fee.
Cold cakes and sweet rice wine, when my mother went out, my mother always told me more than three times not to buy food, but if there were no other equivalents, I still couldn't bear to give up these two things.Sometimes you can transfer sugarcane money to buy three big plums, and you don’t eat cold cakes if you eat watermelon.What if it is leftover money?If you have a lot of money, you have to use it to speculate in that kind of business!To draw sugar arhats from the lottery, sometimes if you are lucky, you will get a lot of sugar land.You can also go directly to exchange money, play dice with others, and throw "three sons".When the money runs out, people are tired, even if the show is interesting, it is time to go home.On the day of watching a theater, it is because Japanese families respect the land, so the dishes must be extra rich. "Why doesn't the land have a birthday every month?"
Looking at the boiled hens on the table with strange eyes, I asked my mother, but my mother didn't respond.When the boiled chicken was only left with the soles and ribs, we saw us on the stage with oil on our mouths again.
In Zhendui, the people who live in a round city circle inlaid with stones are Miao people who account for one-third, and Han people who immigrated from outside account for two-thirds.Although most of the seedlings still live outside the city, the customs and nature are almost the same as tin and lead. After being fused into one pot, they have assimilated each other.The time span is more than a century. Therefore, recently there has been a class of people, that kind of people, that is, the so-called "bastards", and there are many, many of them.At first, those who entered the city from the area of the general barracks, or the Miao villages in Guizhou, of course, we can tell from his walking gait that this is "Old Geng", even if he changed all his clothes.But it is not easy or impossible for one person to tell which side the two families such as the Wu family and the Yang family belong to!If "Miao's daughters are all very beautiful", this example can be passed, and we can only say that all beautiful daughters of the Wu family and the Yang family are Miao people.But it goes without saying that this is a joke.Or the two of them have no way of knowing his ancestors.
The brave, aggressive, and simple behavior of the Miao people has recently formed a common virtue among local young people.Regarding fighting, young people have inherited this virtue.Every day, every night, except for the rain, on every street, you can see a number of children under the age of twelve fighting with each other in the center of the street with bare hands or weapons.This is fieldwork, this is a preparation, a preparation for the glory of the children of this street!All the children in the street, unless they were sick, probably none of them were there.
They divided the team into two groups, each with a bigger one who could withstand the fight, someone who had achieved results in the children's team and got the limelight in the children's team, and someone who fought elsewhere and came back to earn face for this street , lead the ruling.Those in charge are called officials. In the former Qing Dynasty, this person was a Daotai, a guerrilla. After the revolution, there were regimental commanders and brigade commanders in the city, so their titles changed accordingly.I have served as the governor seven times, and my sixth brother has served as the head of civil affairs.The duty of the governor is to collect money for the brothers to prepare for fighting; for the benefit, it is to act without fear of being bullied by others, and to watch plays everywhere and have guards.
In the evening, when everyone had nothing to do, they just gathered in a spacious place like Pingba at the Yamen Gate, and practiced somersaulting, holding the top, and walking with their hands upside down.Or, hold the Nanzhu slices that you have scraped lightly and vividly in your hand, choose a pair, and learn how Miao Zi worked as hard as he did when he was making buns.There is no need to fight for fate, but it is true that by attacking each other, except for the face, the heart, the "sparrow", and only killing some dead flesh, one can be tempered into a hero who can withstand beatings.If you don't want to use guys, the so-called "Wen Jin" can still be selected by the governor to select two teams of equal idiots, pull their hands and hug each other's body diagonally, hang their buttocks, and twist each other, like a snake. When a certain one falls to the ground first, another person is replaced.The scope of this kind of competition is limited, so everyone held hands to form a big circle and let two people play in the circle.When the governor yelled, he used two bulls.
Whoever falls and refuses to rise again is considered defeated.The loser makes a bow to the winner, expressing surrender, and another game can start again.
There are also those heroes who tie one hand with a belt and fight with the other, or two fight with one.In short, this kind of exercise, as long as blisters occur, bleeding is not enough, otherwise, the winner will find it boring, because if no one on the same street goes home crying, the glory of the winner will have been lost long ago.
One street has to be against the other, or the kids won't find a day to actually show their kung fu!When they met a certain street and a certain lane, the land play started, and they had a lot of fun.Make an appointment the other day and make a preparation.Those who exercise the notice belong to the governor, and the governor orders the head of the group to report to each family.Everyone prepares their own weapons for use. This is really an indispensable thing!Of course, in the official charge, there are times when the leaders of the various parties select their talents and come forward to wrestle alone and do not need weapons, but it is indispensable in the end!
Without military weapons, when it comes to saying "Everyone brighten your weapons and go to the wide place", I am afraid that the old man will lose his spirit early.Or a short wooden stick, or a small bamboo tube for drying cotton yarn at home.The best and most formal weapon is "South Bamboo Block".When this thing is hit by one child to another, no matter how forcefully it is, it will not seriously injure it.Moreover, Nanan bamboo slices can be hidden in the sleeves, and can be used as machetes when children learn rattan cards, so they will not be banned at home.Those who lack military weapons can go to the governor to get two small coins, go to the money paper shop, and pick bamboo pieces at the money paper shop by themselves. , will only be used as firewood.
The group leader’s notice is roughly as follows: “According to the spy report: #月#日, ##街，唱地曲#day, the brothers should prepare their equipment and go to the stage to occupy the territory.
Be brave and take the lead, fight on your own, don't make a fool of yourself in this street, that's what everyone expects! "
This is due to aggression. On the one hand, those who have the courage to invade must have at least a few characters, and they have to contact or conquer other groups with more than three forces before they dare to announce it officially. To be honest, just stand and watch from a distance.The play belongs to this street, and the rumor should be "#月#日，本街# Duan sang a wooden dummy show, and it was very lively. All my brothers should come to the scene with weapons and guard the stage before the gongs and drums are played. Don't be bullied by ruffians from other places, causing you to lose your rights! If you don't have all the weapons and don't come to the governor's office to collect the money first, you will be punished like the law."
Regarding the law of rewards and punishments, the copy number is an example: if you see the enemy and go away, you will be fined a piece of money.
Those who don't cry after being beaten with blisters will be rewarded with a penny.
Those who are surrounded and beaten by two or more people in other places without injury will be rewarded with two coins.
Those who dare not do it after being scolded by others will be fined two papers.
Didn't you talk about the appointment of this group of babies?Before the opening of the theater, when the empty suona was still whistling, the children in this street, three or five, were full of brilliance, as if their birthday belonged to them, they ate their stomachs full, went forward, and started playing. Taiwan is surrounded.The so-called Taiwan is not a thing, it's grand and grand, it's really amazing.More than a dozen wooden poles and bamboo poles the size of an arm were tied up in a row under the restraint of some hemp ropes (it looks like a cubic lantern frame from a distance), and then they were covered with tattered gray cloth and green cloth tents. In this way, the sun will no longer be so bald that the old man blows his mouth and blows the suona, and some wooden puppets will rest peacefully in the shadow of one side.
After the cloth tent was put on, it no longer looked like a lantern stand, and later, the curtains used in temples were used to separate the group of people playing drums and drums into the inner room, so it looked like a stage from a distance.
After making trouble, soon it was a set of tricks for a certain township agreement, a certain guarantee, or a certain old lady to increase her official status.This is so annoying!On the big stage, I saw a man wearing a mask and red clothes, walking with the steps of "Dangdang Celebration Dangdang", and it took a long time before he picked up the "Blessing of the Official" or The red cloth piece of "Yipin Dangchao" was shaken, and it was enough to make people tired, but now a wooden man puts on a mask, thanks to the kindness of the dancer below!Another person shouted to be the official of a certain old lady. Looking back, as long as we choose the cat-like face among the crowd, it must be her.She was very happy, but she didn't know that we were all ashamed of her.However, it’s a different matter when this extra official hits my grandmother’s head, because in this way, the lunch fee will be increased by the fee we made an appointment for breakfast due to my grandmother’s happiness. up.
There is a kind of sound that can be heard before the gongs and drums are beaten, such as: "Ni Ni, why doesn't your mother come!"Mother-in-law, why don't you bring your grandson too!Daigou, I want to buy salted sunflower seeds here!Sister-in-law, here is an empty stool! Zhong Xinghuan 嗌簦shovel beak then slug beak compared with ⑾Luchucrisp punishment asend fluorenereduce the molddrag the zodiac show left cone scale.magpie modelho evil cherry:chan After a while, all the noises were swallowed up by the creaking sound of dragging the bench.There were also quite a few children's sharp voices, highlighting the sea of noisy sounds, but they were finally suppressed, and they were deeply immersed in this kind of muddy noise. The firecrackers will explode in your ears.
In the end, there were three or five naughty and dissatisfied children left. With a research attitude, they stuffed their fingers into their mouths and sucked them like puppets. Go to the big box, and see that after the stage skin is peeled off, it still regains the look of the lantern frame, and see the little beggar, wandering in the gray sunflower shells looking for his unexpected luck, as if one is worth ten copper coins, A hand towel, a half-bitten pear.
The opera singer walked underground in the cloth enclosure, stretched out the wooden puppet from the dark, and raised it to the knees of the puppet. If he watched the opera by the side of the stage, the benefits would be too much.On the side of the stage, while watching the opera, you can also see the opera singer, playing with the wooden figure in his hand, humming and chirping, and making a very ridiculous air, walking the steps of the characters in the opera. .In one scene, Mrs. Mi, who looks like a woman with small feet, looks like a dou, but the one who plays the wooden figure also has unsteady steps, and walks like a woman with small feet, which is really ridiculous.Open the cloth canopy, and you can see the gong player again, in his free time, he stuffs the gongs to his ears and smokes while burning paper coals, and the suona player, with his mouth swollen, seems to have two walnuts in his mouth. , It's just like the style of killing a pig Zhicheng blowing pig's feet.In front of the stage, it is also a comfortable place not to be afraid of the sun.There is another thing that is very cheap, that is, when you randomly move those puppets resting on a rope with a nail behind their heads, the actor never scolds them when they see them!Because there is another rule in this, this rule is that when the play is sung on which street, the children on that street will become the only ones around the stage under the law approved by the adults.There are so many rights enjoyed by the hegemony, of course, some strong temptations are given to his children.The aggression of the imperialists has no way to stop the strong gentleman who has been tickled by this temptation. Therefore, a war to protect sovereignty and ambitious people can happen at any time.
After being defeated, everyone retreated silently, and when the rescuers were brought in, they took them back with all their strength.Or keep this hatred and wait for revenge in the future.
Winning, the so-called careerist, harboring the shame of failure, no longer watched other people's plays on the street. The governor led the brothers and went home dejectedly. This shame was also retained, waiting for another opportunity to go.For competition to survive, interim federal policy is needed.Adjacent to the street, if there is no deep hatred, we can work together to eliminate the powerful. After success, after the imperialists are overthrown, one-third of the position in front of the stage will be given up as a reward for jointly defending against foreign aggression.There are also very few children in this street who are still able to resist the invasion of sovereignty by outsiders. This is all due to the older children in this street.This kind of big boy must have served as a leader back then, and he was famous in the whole city. He was respected by all the children, and he was able to hold the middle ground and be impartial.At the beginning, older children don't need to fight together or use other forces to help each other. What they need is the implementation of justice.When meeting children from other parties, they use aggression to occupy the stage. When the children in this street complain to the older child, the older child will be the master, and then find one or two good people who are happy to fight. The theater is far away, so as not to disturb the empty space for singing, line up in a line, each chooses one person, and comes forward to beat him up, not to cry, not to shout, not to hurt people with iron objects, and not to help from the side.Those who fall, if they have the strength to fight again, can still stand up for the second match.After the victory of the first pair is clear, the second pair is selected, and the third and fourth pairs follow, until all the children in the street are exhausted.After arriving, the general judges its victory or defeat.If the street is really defeated, one or both sides of the stage will be allowed to negotiate peace and land; if the victory is won, even though the opponent has many people, there is no need to back down.Because the bigger notary was around, the loser had no choice but to run away hand in hand, and was ashamed to watch the show.Want revenge?The next time I have a chance, Hengshun land opera has to be sung here and there for more than two months, and there is no time for other land operas.
When fighting, will it affect the performance of the play?I just said, don't worry, it will never be like that!They made an appointment, and they couldn't get close to the destination until they resolved it.Everyone is so civilized, and the melee and lone battles always go to Datianpingli, or places with sandy soil.Dapingba is spacious and smooth, so as not to accidentally hit other honest children who are no match but unwilling to admit defeat, and can trot in the fields, just like when chickens are running.As for the sandy place, when you fall down suddenly, you will not hurt your body, and the clothes are easy to clean if they are dirty.I don't know whether it is intentional or natural, but in the city, there are many places where the sand is as soft as cotton wool on a large flat!No matter what he is, children, he will choose a place to fight, and there is no need to exaggerate or hide it.
Not just watching plays.In the first month, go to Xiaojiaochang to watch the Spring Festival; in March, go to the city to fly kites; in May, watch boating; in June, go up the mountain to catch crickets and go down to the river to take a bath; Month, climbing high; October, playing spinning top; February, the third day of the third month, offering dishes to the temple to worship gods; ordinary days, going to school, shopping for vegetables, treating guests, and sending funerals. If you are alone, you are different from your mother and father, and you are A person who has made many enemies is really dangerous!Once you're out on the street, you have to be ready.Blisters are the smallest gift, and you should at least be prepared to receive something a little heavier than a blister.Before you know it, a person will brush past you, that kidnapper, fierce, will hit you and fall to the ground in a gesture of a hungry dog snatching shit!There is always more than one person coming to bump into you.They are nothing more than going to school, shopping for vegetables, and other duties at home.If he is alone, he knows that he is not your opponent, and if he sees you coming from a distance, he would have already run away.But he can be bullied, and he will never let it go.They are all people who have suffered enough to bully others, and they always think of revenge, thinking of kicking their enemies into the mud.When there is no way to retaliate against an enemy, they will find even more cowardly people to vent their anger on.When they saw you, intentionally or unintentionally, they walked by your side, pretending that their father was drunk from drinking too much at night, groaning, put their hands on their waists, and deliberately hit you with force. soft place.After bumping into you, he whispered with his nose, "Why, hit someone!" Ignoring it is the best policy for a person who doesn't want to suffer in front of him.When he couldn't help it, he raised his head, and as soon as their eyes met, he became even more mischievous!He will smile unceremoniously at you, and in this smile, you can save all his contempt.Or, he took a step closer, approached you, raised his clenched fist, and quickly and lightly landed on your back as if threatening.You keep silent, still keep your head down and walk, and the teasing of the second step comes out again.He will slow down his steps, and when you are about to approach him, his smiling face is full of embarrassing malice, and if he only saw you on purpose: "Oh, who am I to know! If you are happy to fight , just put the basket down."
It can only be said in my heart that fighting is not a happy thing.Although in another place, you know that this person does not dare to be troublesome, but now you are around his gate, and with a shout, there are many people who come to help beat dogs and sheep, so "dog fights in front of the house"
He became extraordinarily majestic.The words of the challenge are roughly the last five: record it to see.
1 Fucking, whoever likes to fight can come!
2 Butt sellers, walk slowly, everyone go to Bijia City!
3 Which one is the big character, I don't even believe it, try it today!
4 Come and see!Here comes a brat!
5 Xiao Dan's feet, Xiao Dan's feet, don't you hear me, I mean you!
Scolding, let him order it, the hero will not eat if he loses in front of him.When you talk back, it's going to be bad.Bullying passers-by is an inherent right of the majority, and this right is just like officials blocking roads and collecting taxes: it is both unreasonable and mean, but it should be endured; otherwise, the loss may be even greater.Moreover, this matter has already been collected by yourself, or in your street beforehand. At this time, it is just a refund of a loan without interest.
Regarding the two streets, there is also such a rule, "Do not bully children who go to school alone", but this obligation, this international morality, also depends on the role of the governor. If the governor is not good enough, there is no way for the brothers to abide by it.
In wooden puppet shows, there are often two clowns who bump their heads together to form a ball. Therefore, there is also a school of children who use their heads to bump each other when they fight.But this faction belongs to the first-class hard-working faction, and those who win still have the same disadvantages, so the number of people is always small, and in the end, this strategy is almost eliminated.
