Chapter 3 cry

The people at the foot of Beishan can't cry until now. In Taocun and Mopanzhuang, the right to cry is roughly defined by age. Once children learn to walk, they are no longer allowed to cry. Some children who are naturally crying take advantage of this loophole of tolerance. In order to gain the privilege of crying, they are willing to give up standing. Happy, their resistance to toddlers makes them look more like a herd of little pigs and lambs, big kids crawling on the ground with their buttocks stuck out, stern parents chasing and beating their ineffective kids with brooms, The broom forced them to stand up, and it would be inappropriate to meet those adults who dote on their children. The parents calmly watched their children crawling around in the village, and even argued to others that my children had nothing to eat. It didn't grow well, so it crawled on the ground!He also said that although my child refuses to walk, he doesn't cry very much!Chai Village on the other side of the river has learned from the lessons of neighboring villages and simply canceled the privilege of crying for children, even babies are not allowed to cry. Taking refuge in the witches, most of the ingenious women have mastered the witchcraft of stopping crying. They feed their babies with juice made of breast milk, wolfberry and mulberries. After drinking the dark red juice, the babies will indulge in a quiet and long sleep. In winter, they use ice to relieve the baby's cold, and in summer they use fire to transfer the baby's discomfort to the hot climate.Occasionally, there will be some stubborn babies, whose crying cannot be stopped anyway. Such babies often annoy the mothers of Chai Village. Sometimes, looking across the river to Chai Village on the other side, the meeting discussed the peace and tranquility of Chai Village, as well as the dwindling population of the village. They said that the main reason was that the crying babies had disappeared, and why all the crying babies had disappeared.

The poor Beishan is also full of life, just like the rushing water of the Mopan River, its destination is unknown, but every drop of water has its source. They search for the source of their children from the sky and the earth.The origins of baby boys are all related to the sky. When the boys were born, the proud father looked up at the sky, saw the sun, the moon and the stars, the birds flying in the clouds, and whatever son he saw, so some boys under Beishan were the sun and stars, and some were Goshawks and chickadees, some rain, the worst is a cloud, and when a girl gives birth, all the huts and huts are dead, and the father must leave the house thirty-three steps away to avoid the bloody disaster. They bowed their heads and walked towards the east. Thirty-three steps, what is on the ground, that is what the daughter is. Although the fathers' thirty-three steps deliberately avoided the pigpen and chicken coop, and those with long legs could walk through the village to the fields, but the origin of the daughter's family still seems to be Lowly and humble, most of them can be classified as wild vegetables and fruits, such as mushrooms, lichens, hay, wild chrysanthemums, or a snail shell, a puddle, or a goose feather. The fate is neat, and the future fate of other girls transformed from cow dung, earthworms, and beetles is inexplicably worrying.

Boys from the sky are inherently vast and strong. The commandment against crying is easier for boys to adhere to. A good man tears in his heart, which is a natural constraint. Even if some boys do not obey the crying commandment, it is easy to cry Remedy, they've been taught from a young age that tears of shame can run from a small penis, so when a parent sees some crying omen in his son's eyes, he hastily pushes them outside and says, piss, hurry up go pee!Those who are most likely to offend the crying precept are girls from the ground. This is destined, the weeds that come from the ground will be sad when the wind blows, and the calamus that comes from the water will be covered in tears when the rain hits, so Stories about crying are always about girls, too.

People at the foot of Beishan raise boys in the same way, but when it comes to how to raise daughters, each village has its own daughter scriptures.The Daughter Sutra of Mopanzhuang sounds rough and a little negative, because of the blind emphasis on being strong, the girls there hang out with the boys from childhood to adulthood, and the crying and relief are closely combined. Feeling ashamed, whenever they want to cry, they lift up their flowery robes and squat down on the ground. The ground is flooded, and their sorrow dissipates. Others maliciously gossip about the girls in Mopanzhuang, saying that they are so old , I'm almost married, and I'm squatting on the ground!It's useless to say that the girls in Mopanzhuang are dressed up beautifully, there is always a trace of smell on the corner of the robe!

Chai Cun's Daughter's Book is actually a shaman's book, mysterious and gloomy.In a village of witches, the smoke from cooking pierces straight into the sky all day long. The girls in the village never cry or smile. They go to the river to collect the remains of dead fish and livestock. Old women, the women in Chai Village have the same empty and old eyes. Because they have used the ox bone and tortoise shell to explore the fate of others for a long time, they have completely forgotten their own fate. Even when they lose their sons and husbands, they are used to using crow The excrement mixed with pot ashes, spread evenly around the corners of the eyes, no matter how deep and thick the sorrow, they can also find a gloomy object to cover it, sophisticated calculations and mysterious witchcraft consume a lot of their spirit , This makes the faces of women in Chai village generally thin and dull. People who walk by the river will feel inexplicably depressed when they see the women in Chai village, saying why those women in Chai village have no youth. They all looked like wandering ghosts.

Among the several villages, only Taocun's daughter has bred brilliant girls like flowers.Some people say that Taocun’s Daughter Sutra is unfathomable, and some people question its absurd legendary color, doubt whether Taocun’s Daughter Sutra exists.A large part of Taocun’s daughter’s scriptures is about how to eliminate tears. Mothers have struggled with tears for many years, and have explored some strange secrets of tear removal during the long-term suffering. In addition to the eyes, they used various methods according to their own physiological characteristics. This human organ guides the tears, and the tears find their own way and flow elsewhere.The secret recipes of mothers are flourishing, and the ways for girls to shed tears have become varied, which sounds a bit magical.Girls with big ears learn how to cry with their ears from their mothers. The secret channel between the eyes and ears is suddenly opened, and the tears flow into the ears. Big ears are a good natural container for tears, even if there are girls The earholes are shallow, and the overflowing tears also dripped onto the neck. Although the neck is wet, the face is dry.Girls with thick lips mostly learn to use their lips to drain tears. Such girls often have wet mouths, and their red lips are like eaves after rain. If there is a trace of tear on the mouth, others will tease them with half envy and half ridicule, what a coincidence you cry, and drinking water is also convenient, your mouth is a well!The most mysterious thing is that some women with large breasts cry with their breasts. The breasts are so far away from the eyes. Outsiders can't believe that the tears of Taocun women can go from the eyes to the breasts, and go so far!Believe it or not, the fact that Taocun women never show off their breasts is what the husbands say.The secret method of Taocun women crying with breasts may only be easily verified by husbands. The tears are hidden deep in the daughter's robe, and a suspense is also hidden. Others are curious, and the more curious they are, the more they spread. The best part.

This is about Binu in Taocun.Binu is as brilliant as a flower, with a delicate and dignified face. Tears are destined to accumulate in those big black eyes. Fortunately, she has thick long hair. When her mother was alive, she combed her daughter with a double phoenix and taught her She hid her tears in her hair, but her mother died early, and the secret recipe she taught was abandoned halfway. Binu used her hair to cry when she was a girl, but she cried undisguisedly. The comb is twisted, and when walking in front of others, people feel that it is a rain cloud passing in front of them, and some water beads will float to other people's faces with the wind. Everyone knows that it is Binu's tears. Annoyed, he wiped the water off his face and said, where did Binu cry so many tears?Everyone is suffering, but she shed so many tears, the tears come out of her hair, the hair is sour and smelly every day, and she can't comb it well, let's see how she can find a good husband in the future!

It is prejudice to say that Binu tears more than others, but there are so many girls in Taocun, Binu's crying method is indeed a bit stupid, she is not as smart as other girls, so she can't learn smarter crying methods, so others The girl later married a businessman, a landlord, or even a carpenter or a blacksmith. Only Binu married the orphan Qiliang, and all the property she got was Qiliang and nine mulberry trees. Although Qiliang is handsome and kind, he is an orphan who was picked up by the widower Sanduo from under a mulberry tree.The boys in the village said they came from the sky, the sun and the stars, the birds, and the rainbow, and they asked Qi Liang, Qi Liang, what are you?Qi Liang didn't know, so he went home and asked Sanduo, and Sanduo told him, you didn't come from the sky, you were carried from under a mulberry tree, probably a mulberry tree.Later, the other boys laughed at Qiliang as a mulberry tree. Qiliang knew that he was a mulberry tree, so he guarded the nine mulberry trees at Sanduo every day and made the tenth mulberry tree.The mulberry tree didn't speak, and Qi Liang didn't speak. Others said, "Qi Liang, you're dumb. You don't want to go out to learn crafts. You only know how to serve those nine mulberry trees. You won't earn any money. You will cut down the mulberry trees as a dowry gift." ah?Which girl is willing to marry you?There are so many girls in Taocun, and only Binu is willing to marry you. Binu was transformed from a gourd, and the gourd just hangs on a mulberry tree!

So Binu married Qiliang, which sounds like the fate of the gourd and the fate of the mulberry tree. But as we all know, so many men in Taocun died as strangers, only Qiliang's death was known to everyone in the seven counties and eighteen counties. Of the many crying women in Taocun, only Binu's crying spread outside the mountain. Crying is one of the biggest secrets in the history of Qingyun County, and it is even the biggest secret in the history of Taocun women's crying. At noon on the day Qiliang disappeared, Binu could only cry with her hair.She stood on the road and looked to the north, tears fell from her hair like raindrops, and wet the blue skirt. She saw Shang Ying's wife, Qi Niang, and Shu's wife, Jin Yi, also standing on the road, facing north, biting each other tightly. Grinding their teeth and clenching their fists, their husbands also disappeared.Qi Niang cried with her ears, and her ears burst into tears in the sun, while Jin Yi was still crying with the girl's secret method, because she gave birth to a baby boy not long ago and was breastfeeding, her tears were mixed with The milk flowed down, and the skirt was completely wet, as if one had climbed out of a ditch.On the afternoon when Qiliang disappeared, many Taocun men disappeared, leaving their wives and children trembling in the village.Someone told Binu that half a load of mulberry leaves that Qiliang had laid in the morning was still thrown in the mulberry garden. She came to the nine mulberry trees in a daze, and she saw the half load of mulberry leaves. She sat there and counted the leaves. Countless, where the hands passed, many crystal drops of water rolled down from the mulberry leaves. She found her palms were crying, crying, and she took the basket of mulberry leaves to the silkworm room. The path leading to the silkworm silk room was under the sun. The water splashed everywhere, she didn't know where the water came from, took off the sandals, and suddenly found that her toes were crying, and her toes also learned to cry.
