Chapter 22 Favor gold.leopard.with that sheep

For those who don't know the sweetness of pears in the pear field, it is empty talk to tell him how beautiful the song sung by the pale-faced young woman is.It is someone who hears the sound of the scull and thinks it is beautiful.There are also people who feel beautiful when they hear the sound of rain and wind.Hearing children crying in the middle of the night, and reeds whispering sleepily in the breeze, I thought it was beautiful, and there was no shortage of idiots.These are poems.But it is more poetry, and it is easier to draw emotions into drunken dreams, which are the songs of the white-faced Miao women.The man who heard this song made bloodshed a natural thing, which is a magic handed down from history.A person who is familiar with Miao stories can tell you fifty stories of beautiful men who were haunted by the singing of ugly women, and he can tell you another fifty stories of beautiful men who were sung by the singing of white-faced Miao women. s story.If the person who told these stories still has more stories to tell, then he must have forgotten to tell about Meijin.

This is the case with Meijin.She is the most beautiful woman with a white face, and a man from the Phoenix clan who is extremely beautiful and possesses all the virtues, they became a couple because of singing.The two sides exchanged enthusiasm in singing.So the woman asked him to meet in a cave at night.The man agreed.The man's name is Leopard.The leopard promised the woman to go to the cave at night, because it was the first time, he was going to take a young goat to send the woman, and exchange the white goat for the red blood of the golden maiden.Unexpectedly, Leopard forgot about it at night, and Meijin, who had been waiting all night, died of cold in the cave because she did not have the warmth of a man.The leopard sleeps at home until dawn before remembering, and rushes away, but the woman is dead, and the leopard commits suicide beside the woman with the knife beside him.There is another story about Leopard's death, because he still often heard Meijin's songs, and because he couldn't find a singer, he committed suicide.

But the rumors are all fabricated by people, and things are not like that.Look at the last poem that is said to be the last poem that the leopard drew on the sand in the cave with a branch before his death. The meaning is the tone of courteous gold resenting the leopard for breaking the promise.Meijin was waiting for the leopard not to come, thinking that she was being deceived, and finally committed suicide.Because of the sheep, the leopard reneged on the appointment, and Meijin was dead by then, so the leopard pulled out the knife from Meijin's chest, stuck it in his chest, and fell down in the hole as well. .As for the news about the sheep afterwards, and why the leopard, who is usually very trustworthy, became an untrustworthy man on this date, we should ask that sheep.All because of that one sheep, a happy event turned into a tragedy. No wonder the Bailian Miao people now have reasons not to eat mutton.

But where to ask the sheep?Every lover gave his mistress a little white goat, and in order to show his loyalty and the strength of his love, the man always said that this goat was the blood of the goat that the leopard gave Meijin girl back then.In fact, when it comes to the goat that year, no one can tell whether it is a male goat or a female goat. Let me write what I know.The source of my story is from the thief Wu Rou.Wu Rou is the descendant of the sheep left behind by Leopard and Meijin back then, and his ancestor was Leopard's boxing master, so the facts handed down are naturally more reliable.Behind that is the story.

Meijin stands in the south of the mountain, and the leopard stands in the north of the mountain, singing from morning till night.The mountain is the mountain that is still called singing mountain.Back then the name was Wild Chrysanthemum, because there were many chrysanthemums, and in autumn the mountain was all yellow.It is still the same as before, but the name was changed because of Meijin.At the end of the song, Meijin admitted that she had lost, and that she should hand herself over to the leopard, and let the leopard deal with it, so she sang: "The red leaves crossing the hills are the winds of nine autumn and August, and only the one who turns me into a woman you.

The leopard was overjoyed when he heard the song.He knew he had won.He understood that the most beautiful and romantic woman in the white-faced family belonged to him, so he replied: "Everything in the white-faced family belongs to the number one woman, please go to the jewel cave in Huangcun." When the big stars in the sky can see each other, then I can see you and you can see me. Meijin sang again: My wind, I will act according to your opinion. I hope your heart is as bright as the sun, and I hope your heat is like the sun to melt me. Don't make people laugh at the unfaithfulness of the beautiful man of the Phoenix family, and don't forget what you want me to do.

Leopard sang again: Rest assured, the biggest god in my heart. The leopard's beauty is your eyes as proof. Leopard's faithfulness is witnessed by everyone. Even if the rain falling from the sky is like a knife, I will not avoid anything to come to you and kiss you. It was getting dark.The wild boar mountain is surrounded by purple mist, just like today's evening scene.There are some flowering red clouds left in the sky, sending the sun back to the ground, and the sun bids farewell.At this time, all woodcutters should go home, and those who watch cattle and sheep should send their cattle and sheep to the pen. The day is over.People who live a peaceful life turn a page in their lives without asking what is written on the second page. They should return home from the mountains, or from the water, or from the fields to eat it's time.

The leopard whistled, bid farewell to Meijin, and hurried home, preparing to find a newborn lamb to meet Meijin in the jewel cave after dinner.Meijin also returned home. Meijin returned home, had dinner, changed her underwear, rubbed sesame oil on her body, put palace powder on her face, faced the bronze mirror, tied her hair into a big bun, and wrapped it around a horse with a length of one foot and six feet. Having put everything in order, he took a gourd full of wine, an embroidered pouch full of money, and a sharp knife, and went to the jewel cave. Baoshi Cave was not the same as it is today.The cave is dry and covered with white fine sand. There are beds and benches made of stones, a place for burning fire, and holes hollowed out by nature, where you can watch stars. Building a new house is now a holy place.Times are past.Good customs, like good women, will grow old gradually.A good place that is not afraid of catching a cold or heatstroke, and was perfectly prepared for a young lover, but now there is a Bodhisattva enshrined. Although the Bodhisattva is the two people who died in love back then, if there is a soul, the charming gold leopard will think that this place will be taken over Why shouldn't it.Such a good place, since it is the place where two lovers died, in order to commemorate this pair of lovers, there is really no other appropriate way to commemorate the two lovers, except to make this place man-made and well-arranged for the convenience of gatherings of boys and girls who sing and love each other. Useful.But as I said, the local good habits have disappeared, the enthusiasm of the nation has declined, and women are gradually becoming like Chinese women, shifting their love to bulls, sheep, gold and silver. The beautiful singing voice and the beautiful body have also been defeated by other substances and become useless things. Even if there is such a good place for young people, I am afraid that Meijin and leopards will not be used to these pretended enthusiasm and hypocritical love. Holy land, save the dirt for modern love good!

Now let's talk about the situation of beckoning gold to the gemstone cave. She came earlier, waiting for the leopard.When she got to the cave, she sat beside the bed made of big bluestone.This is the bed of her soon-to-be bride.The stone bed is covered with dry straw and straw, and there are pillows made of big straw. The dry domed ceiling seems to be a tent, which seems to be more suitable than many beds.She hung the wine gourd on the nail on the cave wall, and put the embroidered purse beside the pillow, (these two things were prepared by her for the leopard) and waited for the young and beautiful lover in the dark.The faint light from the entrance of the cave shone outside, and she sat and looked at the light from the entrance of the cave, expecting the giant black shadow to appear.

She sang all the songs gently to entertain herself.She used songs to praise the bravery of leopards in the mountains and the beauty of leopards among people, and she also used songs to describe her mood and the mood of leopards at this time.She picked up various parts of her body with her hands, and smelled her various parts with her nose; the places she picked up were all plump and creamy, as oily as fat, and all the smells she smelled were sweet and fragrant.She took off the kerchief from her head again, untied her bun, and her hair, which was darker than the night, swept the floor as soon as it fell loose.Meijin was originally an extremely beautiful woman of the white-faced clan, and among men, only leopards are worthy of doing all kinds of wild things on such a woman.

This woman's whole body is developed into a round shape, and the lines everywhere are arcs, but the whole figure is extremely slender and proportionate.It has a small mouth, a round face, and a long nose.Has a pointed chin.And a pair of long eyebrows.The appearance seems to be that of this person's mother, according to He Xiangu's molding, there should never be such a complete and exquisite model in the world.Just think, after one or two o'clock, you should take off all your clothes and become a man's bride. Such a woman, in this kind of place, is a little shy and contains the heat and strength of a reckless man , What a touching thing! Born in the 20th century, in 1928, in Shanghai, China, good at spying on friends, spreading rumors everywhere, born with a good mouth, a lovable writer, clever and clever, the world is amazed, but It is still difficult to ask him to think about how beautiful Meijin is. The delicacy and freshness of the white-faced Miao women have been gone for many days.Anyone can believe this.The women I see today are just the low-rank among the low-rank, and they are enough to make countless men fall in love with them, and make the wealthy Han people bow their heads, so you can seem to know the beauty of Jinjin. The words of love have long been stained by countless dirty and hypocritical lusts, and they can no longer return to the purity of another era.In order to explain Meijin's mood at that time, we don't want to quote Shixing's words to decorate it. Apart from saying that Meijin is waiting for the man to press her with a beating heart, she is not like the sigh or monologue imagined by ordinary geniuses! She only hoped that the leopard would come soon, knowing that the leopard was going to bite, she was willing to be eaten and bitten. What about the leopard among men? Leopard's family had no sheep, so he went to an old local guarantor's house to buy sheep.He took four slings of green money and was going to buy a white-haired young ewe goat. When he entered the gate of the dibao, he said he wanted a sheep. When the dibao saw the leopard asking the sheep, he knew it was a good thing, and said to the leopard, "Young and beautiful man, who is going to be the bridegroom tonight?" Leopard said, "In Uncle's eyes, you can see where Leopard's bride is." "It's the goddess of camellia who deserves to be in Leopard's house. It's the banshee of the Great Ghost Cave who deserves to fall in love with Leopard. I don't know who it is among the people." "Uncle, everyone says that the leopards of the Phoenix Clan are handsome, but compared to the bride, they are not worthy of making a futon for her!" "Young man, don't be too humble. When a man surrenders to a woman, he looks worthless." "What Uncle said is right! I can't speak about myself in front of that person. If I offend Uncle, I'm going to be a husband tonight. How can I tell my heart, my heart? This is a lamb for Uncle Yun, and I will sacrifice it to the God who gave me blood." Dibao is an old man, a prophet, and a matchmaker. He was surprised when he heard Leopard mention blood at a wedding.The old man seemed to have a premonition in his heart, and he said, "Young man, you look wrong." "Uncle! Your son should be different tonight." "Turn your face under the light and I'll see." As the old man ordered, the leopard turned its face to the big green oil lamp.After looking at it, Dibao nodded his head and remained silent. The leopard said, "Uncle who knows how to see things, can you tell me the good or bad of this matter?" "Young man, knowledge is only a pastime for old people, it is useless to you! You want sheep, go to the stalls and choose, and take what you like. Don't give me money. Don't give thanks. I'd like to see you tomorrow To you and your bride..." Dibao stopped talking and led the leopard to the sheepfold behind the house.The leopard was looking for the lamb he wanted among the sheep, and the dibao was holding a lamp to illuminate it.In the sheepfold, there were nearly fifty sheep, half of which were lambs, but none of the lambs seemed to be interested in leopards.The pure white ones are too big, while the smaller ones are more dirty.It is natural that big sheep are not suitable, and sheep with impure coat color do not seem to be distributed to Meijin. "Whatever you want, young man, you are ashamed" "I have chosen." "Are sheep completely useless?" "Uncle, I don't want to compare a mottled sheep with the whiteness and chastity of my bride." "However, I would like you to choose one at random, and hurry to see your bride." "I can't empty my hands, and I can't use the sheep from Uncle's place. I still have to look elsewhere!" "I'd rather you take it easy." "Thank you uncle, today is the first time Leopard has won trust with a woman, I can't make up for an ordinary sheep." "But I advise you to do without sheep. It is not good to keep the bride waiting. What the bride wants is not sheep." "I can't act on my uncle's advice because I promised my bride." The leopard thanked Dibao and went to another house to see the sheep.The dibao who sent him out of the gate sighed when he saw the leopard disappearing into the darkness in an instant. The prophet, where Dashu is located, had no choice but to close the door and wait for news at home.He went to five houses, but none of the sheep he wanted was either too big or not pure in color.A good sheep is like a good woman in this place, and it is all accidental that the leopard likes it! When the leopard left the gate of the fifth sheep breeder's house, the sky was full of stars, and it was time for the night to be quiet.He thought, the first time he promised a woman to do something, he couldn't do it, so would he still be able to win the trust of a woman?Walking away empty-handed, telling the woman that the sheep is a sheep that has been searched all over the village but has no interest, so it came empty-handed. Isn't this a lie? So he made up his mind to search the whole village. He knocked on doors wherever he knew, and when he knocked open he whispered softly for sheep.Leopard used his magnificence to make everyone in the village know him. When he heard that he wanted a sheep and a woman, everyone agreed.It is the job of the villagers to lead him to the sheepfold to see the sheep as enthusiastically and patiently as Dibao.I have seen all the sheep, and the strange thing is that there is no suitable lamb. The anxious situation of Meijin waiting in the cave is not something the leopard has forgotten.Seeing Xingzi's request before leaving, he still paused in Leopard's ear.However, the woman was promised to bring a lamb, but now the sheep has not been obtained, so the leopard is anxious at this time, but it is only the search for the sheep, which has forgotten the time. It is impossible to find a pure white lamb in this village. If you must, you can only ask in another village three miles away.He looked at the sky, thinking it was still early.In order to keep his promise, Leopard decided to go to another village to buy sheep. Leopard was very familiar with the road to Bieyi Village. Less than half a mile away from his own village, on the main road, he heard the sound of sheep bleating in the grass beside the road.The voice was extremely low and weak, and the man immediately understood that it was the voice of a lamb.He stopped.He listened carefully again, and the sheep let out another low cry.He understood that a sheep had fallen into a deep ditch beside the road. The sheep had been left alone in the ditch for a day, lost its mother, and missed home, so it howled and cried in the dark. The leopard borrowed the starlight to push through the weeds and saw an entrance.When the sheep heard the grass move, they screamed again, and the weak voice came out of the ground.Leopard was very happy.The leopard knew that the weather was fine and there was no water in the pit, so he slipped down.The pit was up to the leopard's waist, and the soil at the bottom of the pit was dry and hard. After a while, the leopard came down to the pit and saw the sheep.Knowing that the man was coming, the sheep screamed even more pitifully, and did not come close to the leopard. It turned out that the sheep was a lamb less than ten days old. , broke the front foot. Seeing that the sheep was injured, the leopard picked up the sheep and climbed out of the pit, thinking that the sheep would be useful anyway, so he walked towards the stone cave road where Meijin was dating.On the road, the sheep still shouted in a low voice.The leopard realized that the sheep was in pain, and thought it had to be taken to Di Bao's house, where he asked Di Bao to apply some medicine before taking it away.He went back to the house in the opposite direction. When we arrived at Di Bao's house and knocked on the door, the old man who couldn't sleep because of the leopard thought it was a bad news from the leopard.The old man asked who it was. "Uncle, it's your nephew. I got the sheep, because the poor little thing was hurt and broke his foot, so I went to Uncle for help." "Young man, don't you go to your bride? It's already midnight, put the sheep here quickly, don't delay any more." "Uncle, I'm sure this sheep is my bride's favorite. I can't see the color of its fur, but when I hug this thing, I guess it's a pure white sheep! Its tenderness and It's like my bride, it's..." The guard was really anxious, seeing that the man picked up a wounded sheep by accident, as if he was composing a poem about the sheep, he pulled the latch and opened the door with a bang.A ray of light shone on the lamb in the leopard's arms, and the leopard saw the color of the lamb's fur. The whole body of the sheep is as white as the snow of Dali.The leopard hurriedly picked up the sheep and kissed it. "Young man, what are you doing? You forget that you are supposed to be the bridegroom tonight." "Uncle, I don't forget! My sheep is a gift from heaven. I beg you to put a little water on the feet of the man, so I should take him to meet my new man." Dibao just shook his head, took the sheep and inspected it under the light, the lamb stopped crying when it saw the light, just closed its eyes, and let out a whistling breath from its nostrils. After a while, the leopard was already walking on a road to the jewel cave.The lamb rested in his arms.Leopard was full of hope to meet Meijin when he went to Baoshi Cave, and went to Meijin to talk about the sheep given by God.He relaxed his steps and went straight up the mountain without stopping, passing countless high cliffs, crossing countless water streams, and reaching Baoshi Stream. When we got outside the cave, the sky in the east was almost dawn.At this time, the sky was full of stars, and the stars shone on the cave door, and there was no one in the cave.He softly shouted, "Mei Jin, Mei Jin, Mei Jin!" He walked a little further, and a smell came out of the hole without any echo, and the experienced leopard knew it was blood smell at the first sniff.Leopard was taken aback.Slightly insane, he immediately threw the lamb to the ground and ran into the hole. After arriving in the cave, he walked towards the bed. After a while, the leopard saw Meijin lying on the bed under the dim light of the stars in the sky.The smell of blood came from there.The leopard pounced and touched Meijin's forehead, face, and mouth; the mouth and nose were only slightly hot. "Meijin! Meijin!" After shouting twice, Meijin responded with a slight hum. "What did you do?" First, he heard the puffing out of his breath, which didn't seem to be coming out of his mouth or nose, and seemed to be just coming from his belly. Then Meijin turned and couldn't get up, so he continued faintly, "It's the one who called me. Are you someone who sings in the daytime?" "Yes, my man! He often sings melancholy during the day, and sleeps alone at night; but today he is preparing to be the bridegroom...Why are you like this?" "why?" "Yes! Who killed you?" "It was the young man of the Phoenix family who did not keep his word. He told a lie. A beautiful and perfect person should have some shortcomings, so the Bodhisattva gave him a little instinct to lie. I don't want to be deceived in front of a liar. Now I'm done." "It's not! You're wrong! It's all because the man of the Phoenix clan doesn't want to break his promise to a woman for the first time, so he searched all night before accidentally finding the sheep that he promised, and now he got the sheep and lost the man .My God, tell me what I'm supposed to keep that promise." Meijin, who was dying, heard this, and knew that the reason why the leopard was late was because of the sheep, and knew that it was not a missed appointment. She felt that she had done something wrong when she stuck the knife in her chest in disappointment.She asked the leopard to help her up, put her head on the leopard's chest, and let the leopard's mouth rest on her forehead. The woman said, "I'm going to die....I waited for you not to come, and saw that it was almost dawn, and thought I was being deceived...so I put the knife in my chest....You want my Blood I’m giving you blood now. I don’t hate you. . . . You pulled out the knife for me and let me die. . . . You also escaped to another place before dawn, because you were innocent.” Leopard listened to the woman talking about the cause of death intermittently, weeping, and kept silent.He thought for a while, then lightly touched Meijin's breasts, touching Meijin's breasts which were all stained with blood, between the breasts was a knife handle soaked in blood.The leopard felt cold and fought a war. The woman said, "Leopard, why don't you act according to my words? You said that everything belongs to me, then obey my order and pull out the knife to save me from suffering." Leopard remained silent. After a while, the woman said, "Leopard, I understand you, don't be sad. Show me the sheep you got." The leopard put Meijin down and went outside the cave to catch the sheep.The poor sheep was accidentally beaten to death by the leopard, and it was also lying on the ground panting. The leopard looked at the sky, and the sky was completely white.A rooster crowed in the distance.He heard the sound of waterwheels in the distance, as usual in a dream. He carried the sheep into the cave and gave it to Meijin, and put it on Meijin's chest. "Leopard, help me up and let me kiss the sheep you brought." The leopard picked her up, lifted her hand up, and put it on the sheep. "It's a pity that this sheep is also injured, you take it away. . . . Pull out the knife for me, my man. Don't cry. . . . I know you love me, and I don't hold a grudge. You take the sheep away Just go somewhere else... What are you going to do, idiot?" The leopard also exposed his chest, and he went to draw the knife.It took a lot of force to pull out the knife that was sunk deeply.As soon as the knife was pulled out, the blood gushed out, and the leopard was bathed in blood.The leopard stabbed the bloody knife into his chest, and Meijin died laughing when she could still see it. It was dawn, and after dawn, Dibao led people to find the gemstone cave. What he saw were two dead bodies, the half-dead sheep who had applied the medicine with his own hands, and the leopard who seemed to be dying with a tree branch. A song written in the sand.So Dibao read the song well and brought the sheep back. The white-faced woman now has no seeds of such enthusiasm.They can still forgive men, and they still often sacrifice for men, and they can still sing soul-moving songs with their mouths, but they can no longer be courteous! Winter 1928
