Chapter 396 Chapter Four Ground and Underground

She looked down at her feet, and was surprised to find that her five toes had broken through the shoes, like bamboo shoots emerging from the ground.Her toes were like living earthworms, slithering and crawling, and then burrowed into the wet ground.She wanted to lift her foot, but couldn't.The five toes were like twisted roots of an old tree, holding her firmly. "You..." She was so anxious that she regretted coming with him in her heart. If she had yelled at that time, maybe the family members in the room would rush out and rescue her from the clutches of the devil.Now in this barren mountain and wild ridge, and surrounded by tall trees all around, it is estimated that no one can hear no matter how much you shout.

The handsome but vicious man walked around her slowly, as if a successful hunter was admiring a lying prey waiting to die. She couldn't help feeling flustered.But an impulsive torrent surged in her body, like the horns of an uncontrollable buffalo, arching her heart and arousing her desire.She didn't know what was wrong with her, why she was anxious to escape from here, but she was imagining what this man would do to her next, and there seemed to be a hint of expectation in her mind. The man seemed to see her contradictory psychology, clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Don't be in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry for?"

She immediately wanted to find a crack in the ground and get in.She turned her face away, looked at the man fiercely, and said, "What are you going to do?" In fact, she already knew what he was going to do in her heart, and the surrounding environment reminded her of countless forgotten scenes.She knew why her stomach was gradually distending.She thought she hadn't experienced those things, but in fact she had experienced them, and more than once or twice. She asked the man like this just to cover up, but this cover up is as fragile and transparent as window paper, easily pierced by this evil man.

"What am I going to do?" The man deliberately asked himself, then took off his white clothes and hung them on a nearby branch. She saw the man's muscles as strong as a cow. "I'm going to plant seeds in your body." The man replied, and then put his hands around his waist to undo the white belt.She stared at the dead snake belt and wondered why he didn't wear a belt but a strip of cloth.In Lishu Village, except for Master Li who is practicing Nanquan, everyone has long said goodbye to the habit of tying cloth strips.Even her elderly grandfather at least used a khaki army belt to hold his trousers.

"Sow seeds?" She opened her mouth slightly, adding a bit of coquettishness.She hated herself for not being impatient or afraid at this moment, but her heart was somewhat peaceful.Like something she never dared to try, she would tremble and walk on eggshells.But now she suddenly discovered that she had actually tried countless times for the thing that she never dared to try, and even got used to it.She was amazed at her sudden transformation. The man hung the white trousers on the branch with both hands, stepped forward, and said with a smile, "Yes." The man hugged her, which made her bones ache.

Then she found her dress on the upturned branch... I spent the first day of the new year at my grandfather's house that year, and now I still remember the temperature of the fire my grandfather burned, and a firecracker wrapped in red plastic paper hung on the rice cooker.Grandpa said that the firecrackers can be set off louder after they are dried on the fire. But I'm always worried that the rising flames will ignite the firecrackers, and then explode into a mess in the fire stove.Sitting by the stove and warming up by the fire is not at ease. And grandma told me and my brother, if you meet a short, fat old man in the corner of the gate or on the edge of the ground on the morning of the first day of the new year, don't ask his name, and don't throw ignited firecrackers to scare him. he.But grandma didn't say clearly about the old man's background.So I dare not go out too early in the morning on the first day of junior high school.

After setting off the firecrackers, when I went back to the big table to eat, I was also cautious about eating, because I had to put a few more pairs of chopsticks and bowls on the table, and put chairs neatly beside those bowls and chopsticks.It is reserved for the ancestors who have passed away, and let them have dinner with us for the New Year.When I stretched out my chopsticks to pick up vegetables, I was afraid of snatching the dishes that the deceased ancestors wanted to pick up. For me, there are many, many scruples in the first grade of junior high school.I would never dare go into a dark place with a stranger.

There is an old jujube tree in front of my grandfather's house.Every spring, there will always be several new shoots around it.Grandpa said that the jujube tree is a kind of spiritual tree, so he never cut off those new shoots, but dug them out and donated them to other people who wanted to plant jujube trees, or transplanted them to the mountains. There used to be a jujube tree in front of the old farmer's house, which was about the same age as the one in front of the grandfather's house.However, on the New Year's Day of this year, the branches of the jujube tree had already been reduced to ashes in the blazing stove.The roots of the jujube tree are left to dry on the floor, and will be used for other purposes when they are dry enough.

I asked my grandfather why the jujube tree is a spiritual tree. Grandpa said, because the name of the jujube tree was taken by the Yellow Emperor.According to legend, one Mid-Autumn Festival, the Yellow Emperor led his ministers and guards to hunt in the wild.When I came to a valley, I was thirsty, hungry and tired.Suddenly, a minister found several big trees in the middle of the mountain, bearing attractive fruits.Everyone rushed over to pick them first. It tasted sour and sweet, which quenched their thirst and relieved their fatigue.Everyone kept saying yes, but they didn't know the name, so they asked the Yellow Emperor to give it a name.The Yellow Emperor said, this fruit solved our hardships of hunger and fatigue, and it was not easy to find it all the way, so let's ask it to find it!

Later, when Cangjie created characters, according to the characteristics of the thorns of the tree, he stacked up the radicals of the thorns to create the character "Zao". While grandpa was baking firecrackers, the old farmer was boiling water.The old farmer's son glanced at the root of the jujube tree on the floor, which twisted and twisted like an upside-down tree.Grandpa once said to me that the root of a tree is actually an upside-down tree, with the ground as the boundary. The tree that grows in the air belongs to yang, and the "tree" that grows in the soil belongs to yin.For a tree, to a certain extent, the tree above the ground is its body, and the "tree" below the ground is its soul.
