Chapter 54 The heavy snow of that year sealed the mountain
In the next two days, Wang Changsheng stayed at home and did not go out, and Wang Changrong cleaned the house inside and out, and then began to put up lanterns and paste couplets to prepare for the New Year, this year may be the only most relieved year for the Wang family in ten years.
This day is the Chinese New Year's Eve, after getting up early, the four members of the Wang family began to clean up, preparing meals for the afternoon meal, the TV is filled with the host's pleasant tone, no matter which station is changed to a program related to the New Year, almost every household in the village has hung up red lanterns, the cooking smoke of each family has been lit almost since the morning, and some families have not even broken it much, although the village is small, but the taste of the year is definitely not small.
In the afternoon, Lin Yanghua and Wang Changrong met each other, Wang Changsheng and Wang Baojiu had a pot of mutton, and there were slaughtered chickens and fish waiting to be put on the stove. When a firecracker suddenly sounded in the village and the sky was getting dark, Wang Baojiu picked up his wine glass and said solemnly: "It's the New Year, Changsheng, Changrong, Dad wishes you good health and all the best." ”
Wang Changrong and Wang Changsheng also raised their wine glasses, and he said very plainly: "My requirements are not high, I just hope that you and my mother can live this life in peace." ”
Wang Changsheng said that the hope is because after he came back, he never gave Wang Baojiu and Lin Yanghua a divination, fortune telling, they have rules in this industry, except for the emperor and beggars can not be counted, the dying cannot be counted, and they cannot be counted for themselves, and the closest relatives and blood relatives cannot be counted, unless you forcibly divinate and then fold your yang life or are willing to pay the price for a serious illness.
No one would do that unless they had to.
Therefore, what Wang Changsheng said was my hope, but there was no way to determine whether his parents' second half of their lives would be blessed or blessed, or if there were some twists and turns, in fact, these were not very important to Wang Changsheng, he just thought that if the two of them could live this life so peacefully.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner opened, a family of four watched TV while eating, laughter and laughter came from time to time, and the New Year of ordinary people's families was actually very simple, nothing more than watching eating, drinking, watching TV, and then chatting about homely things.
The clock was about to strike midnight, and it was almost twelve o'clock after the clock ticked.
Wang Changrong and his parents sat in front of the TV and waited for the bell to ring, Wang Changsheng lit a cigarette and suddenly pushed open the door and came to the courtyard, looking up at the back of the village, the moonlight was falling, and there was a mountain shadow reflected in the dark night, this is Qinling.
In fact, that mountain is not particularly famous, nor is it particularly high, and there are no places of interest on it, the mountain is the same as the name of the village, called Yuwang Mountain.
Yuwang Mountain is extremely famous among the famous mountains and rivers in this land, except for Chang'an or this area, even the vast majority of people have not heard the name of Yuwang Mountain, you have to look carefully on the map may see the inconspicuous three words.
However, Wang Changsheng's life has undergone earth-shaking changes because of that mountain.
Because that mountain is the dragon head mountain in the Qinling Mountains, the middle dragon is entrenched here, a whole vein stretches the whole mountain, and finally the dragon head is coiled on the mountainside.
Wang Changsheng smoked a cigarette, frowned at the mountain, and said softly, "Should I thank you, or should I blame you......
Ten years ago, on that day, it was also thirty, and a heavy snow fell towards Qinling, drifted to Yuwang Mountain, and also fell to Yuwang Village.
The heavy snow began to fall in the morning, overwhelmingly, and when the villagers woke up in the morning, they found that the outside was already covered in snow, and the rooftop trees and yards were covered with a thick layer of snow, and the Qinling Mountains were white.
The snow continued to fall until the afternoon and was about to stop in the evening, so Wang Baojiu said: "Ruixue Zhaofeng year, next year is another good year, this year's year is good." ”
Twelve-year-old Wang Changsheng wore a thick cotton jacket and leather gloves, and a sheepskin hat on his head, and said to Wang Baojiu and Lin Yanghua: "Dad, I'm going to the mountains to take a look, the heavy snow has just passed, and the condom under the first two days must have caught some livestock, I'll see if I can pick it up today, and kill and eat meat at night." ”
At that time, in the village, after the snow in winter, many farmers would go to the mountains behind to dig traps and lay traps, which could catch hares, pheasants and even roe deer, and then take them home to kill and improve the food.
When Wang Changsheng was seven or eight years old, he had already begun to go up the mountain with Wang Baojiu, learning to make a set, and there was a lot of harvest in one winter, and yesterday he felt that there might be a heavy snowfall today, so the two deliberately put a few sets on the mountain, thinking about seeing if they could have any harvest in thirty to add some meat to the Chinese New Year's Eve meal.
Wang Baojiu frowned and said: "The snow is a little heavy, and the heavy snow may be about to close the mountain, so be careful when you go." ”
Wang Changsheng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I remember the road, and I also know the place where the sleeve is placed, I'll go and see it and come back." ”
"Come back early. Wang Baojiu didn't think much about it, almost all of the children in the village grew up on Yuwang Mountain, just like the children by the river may be born to swim.
Wang Changsheng was about to go out after getting dressed, Wang Changrong combed his braids and kept snot, came over and pulled the corners of his clothes and said, "Brother, I'm going too, I want to ski and climb the plow." ”
Wang Changsheng rubbed her head and said, "Forget it today, wait for the snow to be smaller, and then take you there." ”
Wang Changsheng let go of his sister, came out of the house, and saw Chen Tang holding a knife in his hand through the courtyard wall, so he shouted: "Follow me up the mountain, I'll go and see if the trap was used yesterday to catch any livestock, and I want to add vegetables tonight." ”
Chen Tang shook the knife in his hand and said, "Go ahead, I'm going to kill the pig with my father in a while, and after the killing, you come back to my house and bring a pork rib and two pig trotters back to stew."
Wang Changsheng suddenly bared his teeth and smiled: "Bring me some more pigs to go into the water!"
"Well, you go quickly, go early and come back early, I don't know if this snow can fall again today......" Wang Changsheng came out wrapped in clothes and carried a bundle of hemp rope, and walked for a few minutes after leaving the village to the foot of Yuwang Mountain, at this time it was already a heavy snow covering the mountain, from top to bottom it was a white snow, and it seemed that there was no place to put his feet.
This mountain king Changsheng doesn't know how many times he has to climb in a year, where is the road eye he remembers very clearly, climb up from the foot of the mountain, step on the snow and it won't pass the calf, it is quite difficult and laborious to walk, Wang Changsheng climbed for more than ten minutes with his memory, came to a pine tree, used a shovel to lift the snow on the ground, and revealed a hole, which was covered with a thin sheet of grass, and looked like it had not been moved.
Wang Changsheng spat and muttered, "Porcelain, Erlengzi, the first sleeve is empty?"
