The sky in the north cuts out a continuous mountain shadow. Below the sky and above the mountains is the Dayanling Great Wall, which stretches thousands of miles.The Great Wall shone with sharp white light in the early winter sun, setting off the sky with a sluggish look.The Great Wall is actually a long and endless wall. A wall climbs over mountains and spreads far away along the curve of the mountains. It looks like a white coiled dragon, and the white coiled dragon is the Great Wall.The Great Wall is actually a wall on a mountain. When a wall sees a mountain, it rides on countless mountains, and puts a row of hard belts on the mountains. The belts on the mountains are Dayanling Great Wall.

The migrant workers in Dayanling saw Wan Qiliang's wife. She was like a flying black jewel, a small and thin piece, inlaid on the crown of Broken Heart Rock. Binu hugged a stone and knelt on the Broken Heart Rock and wept.Such a steep mountain, such a difficult path, a sick woman with a stone in her arms, I don't know how she got up.Someone said that a divine frog led her to Broken Heart Rock, but the other migrant workers didn't believe it. They saw a mountain eagle hovering over the woman's head, and said that the Broken Heart Rock was so steep and high that even the frogs couldn't climb it. Maybe it was the mountain eagle. Take her up!

Floating clouds float over Broken Heart Rock, and the people who build the city on the mountainside can sometimes see Binu, a small shadow of a person, which floats out as soon as the clouds recede.They couldn't hear her crying, but heard the whistling of the wind, the wind blowing from Heartbroken Rock, every gust of wind was whimpering, and the wind that blew on the migrant workers was moist, like the southern wind, a little sticky. The porters transporting the stones were still going to the high place, and the porters gathered towards Broken Heart Rock like clouds, and soon drifted away.They heard on the mountainside that a woman from Qingyun County dragged a strange water trail up the mountain. These porters from Qingyun County chased the water trail on the mountain road like flying, and easily chased Binu, but when they saw Binu With teary faces, they shook their heads and left, disappointedly saying, "It's not my wife, I knew my wife wouldn't be able to endure that hardship, it wouldn't be my daughter-in-law!"

Someone at the foot of the mountain heard that it was Wan Qiliang's wife who went up the Broken Heart Rock. They picked up stones and chased after the water mark, as if they were following their own wife. My daughter-in-law, what a poor woman!You have traveled a thousand miles to deliver winter clothes, but where are people wearing winter clothes?Wan Qiliang didn't leave a single bone for her. Look at the winter gown, the person wearing the gown is gone, and she still has the gown rolled up on her back! All the porters drifted away from Binu like clouds, only the porter Xiaoman accepted a special mission from the foot of the mountain. He carried a pair of empty baskets and followed the water marks on the road to the Broken Heart Rock. When he saw Binu He stopped, and hurriedly put the stones on the side of the road into one basket, and kicked the other basket to Binu's side.You are Wan Qiliang's daughter-in-law, hurry up and get into this basket!Xiao Man said, such a high mountain, Mr. Shangguanqing can't climb it, he asked me to pick up stones from a basket and pretend to be a man in a basket, let me pick you down the mountain!

Binu glanced at the basket, she slowly took off the black winter gown with green trim, and put it into the basket. Not a robe!Xiaoman said, let you go into the basket! Binu picked up the stone and said to Xiaoman, retribution, retribution, God won't let Qiliang wear the winter clothes he snatched from Wugu City! Xiao Man couldn't hear what she was muttering, so he picked up the winter robe and shook it, and said, "It's a very warm winter robe, why did you throw away the robe to hug the stone?"It's useless to hold stones, people are dead, and it's useless to offer many stones to the mountain god!Quickly put on your robe and put it in my basket, I will take you down the mountain to get Wan Qiliang's lottery, you can go and get seven dao coins!

Binu kicked away the robe that Xiaoman threw back, she refused to wear that robe again, she preferred to hug a stone, she knelt by the battlement wall with the stone in her arms, looked into the valley, she said, retribution, retribution, How can Qi Liang wear the snatched winter clothes? Don't talk to the valley, I'm talking to you!Xiaoman went to the battlement wall angrily, and saw that the valley was covered with light blue mist, he said, that was all the blue smoke left, since the accident happened in Heartbroken Rock, the valley was full of smoke day and night, saying It's the soul of a dead person, what's the use of talking to smoke?You can't take away the soul smoke of the dead!

Binu pointed to the valley, and she opened her mouth wide to say something to Xiaoman, but Xiaoman couldn't hear her voice, only saw her face covered with tears, and glistening drops of water fell from her fingers, falling on the city wall like raindrops . How did you shed so many tears?Xiaoman was startled by Binu's tearful face, he covered his eyes subconsciously, and shouted, I come from Shuanglongzhai in Beishan, just a mountain away from your Taocun!People at the foot of the North Mountain must not shed tears. When your husband dies, you have to cry with your ears, your lips, and your hair!How did your tears come out of your eyes?It cannot come out of the eyes!

Tears gushed out of Binu's eyes, like spring water rushing out of the mountains, it seemed that Taocun's daughter had been forgotten by her, Binu was crying heartily, pointing to the valley while crying, she was crying to Xiaoman Telling something, but apart from the ear-piercing cry, Xiaoman, who was in a panic, couldn't hear anything clearly. grave?You want a grave?Xiaoman tried hard to distinguish her words from Binu's lips, he said, where is the grave in the valley?This is the Great Wall, do you think it is in your Tao Village, where you just build graves for the dead?There is a Daye Tomb on the west slope, where the dead in Dayanling are buried, you hurry into this basket, I will take you to the Daye Tomb, where you can build a grave for Wan Qiliang.

Tears were also dripping on Binu's cracked lips, she cried even more horribly, and her voice became hasty, it sounded like the raving in a nightmare, Xiao Man suddenly heard two words clearly, bones, bones.Where are the bones? Where are the bones?Are you going to pick up Wan Qiliang's bones?There is nowhere to pick it up!More than a dozen of them died in landslides, and they were all buried in stones. Once the city wall above was repaired, human bones became the foundation of the wall!Xiaoman became a little irritable, and suddenly took out a ball of twine from his arms, and said, don't cry, let's see what this is?Lord Shangguan asked me to gag you!You don't know the rules of Dayanling, no matter how sad you are, you are not allowed to cry, you are not allowed to cry when you live in Beishan, and you are not allowed to cry when you go to Dayanling!General Jian Yang couldn't hear crying, he was afraid of disturbing the hearts of the people in Dayanling and delaying the project!Xiaoman swept the basket with his hand, then threw the basket on the ground, the mouth of the basket was aimed at Binu, come in, if you don't come in, I will suffer.He said, big sister, don't trouble me, you are a woman and Wan Qiliang's daughter-in-law, I and my fellow villagers in your village, it's not easy to move you like a rock, climb in by yourself.

Binu pushed away the basket, turned around, and saw Xiaoman grabbing the basket and running to the other end to point at her. With Xiaoman's other hand, he touched the pole attached to his waist, and it seemed that the pole was about to come in handy.Xiao Man shouted angrily, they are all hard-working people, you are not the only one who lost your husband, and you are not the only one who will cry, we four brothers went to Dayanling together, now I am the only one left!You cry alone, and I don’t know how many people have suffered with you, don’t force me, I will count one, two, three, if you don’t get into the basket, I will strike!

Xiaoman pulled out his shoulder pole and pointed it at Binu, and started counting in his mouth. When he counted to one, Binu's crying stopped. When he counted to two, Binu stood up sideways. When he counted to three, Xiaoman found Binu He wanted to jump off the cliff, he threw down his shoulder pole and rushed over to hug her, and carried her into the basket. He felt that Binu's body was as light as a feather, and the water droplets from her body splashed on his face, and his eyes were covered with tears. Covered with tears and mist, I suddenly couldn't open it.When Xiao Man was wiping his eyes, he heard his baskets rattling, and all the wicker shattered under the erosion of tears.Don't cry, you cried my basket to pieces, we can't go down the mountain, if you jump off the cliff, what should I do?I have to dance with you!Xiaoman couldn't wipe away his tears, and soon he found that the tears flowed from his own eyes. He tried his best to open his tearful eyes, and used a pole to pierce the ear of the basket. When he lifted the pole, the ear broke , I told you not to cry, you are crying, you have cried to death the ears of the bamboo basket, how can I pick you down the mountain?Xiaoman roared angrily and raised the pole towards Binu, the pole fell to the ground in mid-air, Xiaoman saw the most familiar tearful face in the world, as old as her mother, as sad as her sister, the woman was just like him Sitting in the basket, the mother and younger sister wept to him, a moist sky spread out in her eyes, and a torrential rain of tears began to fall from that sky. So Xiao Man also sat on his shoulder pole and began to cry.Overlooking the depths of the valley of Broken Heart Rock, the legendary souls of the dead permeate up like a thick mist. The whole valley is bathed in the white light of tears. He and the loess wept on the city wall.A mountain eagle flew over Xiao Man's head lowly, and a few drops of cold water hit his forehead. Xiao Man suspected that it was the mountain eagle's tears.Xiaoman heard the two baskets crying towards each other, one basket led by three stones, the other basket was led by a woman, the wicker, the stone and the man were crying together, it was impossible to tell which basket was crying louder. Which basket cries more sadly.The sun flickered suddenly, and Xiaoman was about to search for the tears of the sun, when he heard the wind blowing from the north, a burst of yellow sand flying over the mountains and ridges, in the flying sand all over the sky, Xiaoman saw Qiliang's wife climbed out of the basket, she put the The gourd around his waist was untied.He saw Qiliang's wife arranging a home for a gourd. The gourd jumped over the city wall and rolled down the steep hillside. Xiaoman couldn't tell whether Binu dedicated the gourd to the valley or Qiliang in the valley. For the first time in his life, he heard the cracking sound of the gourd. The gourd shattered with a dull bang, and a stream of bright tears splashed like a strange lightning. The dazzling jewel-like light fell towards the valley, the whole Dayanling seemed to twitch, and the Great Wall trembled slightly.The inexplicable fear made Xiaoman lie on the slope motionless. He felt all kinds of omens of landslides and ground cracks, so Xiaoman shouted to Binu by the city wall, the landslide is about to happen, don’t stand on the cliff, go back to the basket Come! Binu knelt and slapped the city wall in the wind and sand, she finally shouted, Qi Liang Qi Liang, you come out!Binu finally shouted, she knelt in the wind and sand and slapped the city wall, slapped the wall, slapped, she said, Qi Liang Qi Liang, let me in if you don't come out! The battlements, arrow stacks, and beacon towers on Broken Heart Rock were all slapped by a woman's hand, and the stones and soil made a depressing roar below the city, the wind blew from all directions, and the yellow sand hit Xiaoman's face, which was worse than a knife. sharp.In panic, Xiaoman picked up the basket and ran down the mountain, and found that the basket where Binu had been sitting was filled with a group of wet frogs in a blink of an eye. Frog, he threw down the basket and shouted to Binu, sister, don't cry, you can't cry, the frog is here to cry for you!Xiaoman grabbed the pole and ran down the mountain, saw the yellow sand all over the ground climbing down the steps, a large group of beetles climbed up the mountain on the yellow sand, Xiaoman recognized that they were insects that could cry, they lived in the mulberry field in Qingyun County in spring Stealing mulberry leaves, one bite will shed a tear of repentance.Xiao Man let the beetle out of the way, turned around and shouted in the direction of the city, sister, don't cry, your tears are going to run out, you can't cry, the beetle will cry for you!Xiaoman ran down the mountain, and soon met a group of white butterflies flying all over the sky. The wings of the white butterflies were hooked with beautiful golden threads. He recognized them as the unique golden thread butterflies on Beishan. Legend has it that there are three hundred crying spirits. The ghosts of ancestors.When Xiaoman looked up to see the butterflies flying by, warm tears dripped from the butterflies on his face, Xiaoman wiped his face, he crossed the pole to welcome the visit of the souls of the ancestors, but the butterflies did not jump on his pole, he Knowing that the golden thread butterfly doesn't know him anymore, the ghosts of the ancestors no longer remember a descendant who has been away from home for many years. They flew all the way to Dayanling to fly to Broken Heart Rock and cry with Qiliang's wife. Xiaoman ran down the mountain with a pole. On a beacon tower, he met Shangguanqing and a few desperate captives. They held ropes in their hands. Ask him, where is the person who asked you to pick?Why is that woman still crying on Heartbroken Rock, crying so much that the mountain trembles!Xiaoman shook off their hands and rope, and ran all the way down the mountain. In front of an arrow stack, he saw a group of craftsmen who had dropped their work and stood together discussing something. When they saw Xiaoman, they waved to him, don't run away. Don't do it, General Jianyang is not doing it anymore, he is riding a horse and following a bird back to the grassland! Wan Qiliang's wife broke the Great Wall with tears!Xiaoman turned his head and pointed to Heartbroken Rock and said, did you hear that?Listen, it's the sound of landslides and ground cracks.
