Chapter 70: Fascination
What made Hong Yanwu unhappy was not only the "exile" of the head teacher, but also the kite that he paid a great price for, in fact, also made him a little disappointed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because although the neighbors and family members didn't know about the catastrophe he caused at school, when he took Sha Yan'er home, he was still scolded by Uncle Bian and his father for it.
What's going on here?
It turned out that Uncle Bian was a person who paid special attention to Lao Li'er, and the reason why he scolded Hong Yanwu was because he felt frustrated.
There is a reason for saying this. Because according to the old customs, flying kites in the essence is actually people flying "disasters".
And the most important thing is that no matter how high and far the kite flies, it cannot be retracted. Even if the wind doesn't stop, people have to cut the kite string deliberately, which means sending away all bad luck.
Therefore, all the old people in the capital know that when they encounter a kite that has been cut or blown off by the wind, they must not pick it up and go home. Even if someone's yard falls into a kite, it must be torn off immediately, and the bad omen must be broken.
But Hong Yanwu is committing this taboo because of his delusion and ignorance. Do you think the old man can still be in a hurry?
Here's how it happened.
On that day, Hong Yanwu was holding a sand swallow in his hand and happily returning home from school, when he ran into Uncle Bian fiddling with his flower pot at the door of the east courtyard. As a result, Uncle Bian saw the kite in his hand at a glance, and asked him where he got it.
Hong Yanwu was holding back his ability to show off, and when he heard Uncle Bian ask, he hurriedly blew a stinky blow.
But he didn't expect that he hadn't said a few words, and as soon as he heard that it was enough to come down from the tree, Uncle Bian immediately changed his face, and said that he didn't know what to do, and picked up an unlucky thing at home, which made the whole courtyard follow and block.
Hong Yanwu swept away his interest, and walked to the courtyard with a frown.
Who knew that Uncle Bian didn't give up, threw down the flower pot in his hand and chased after his buttocks, and forced him to burn the kite quickly.
Hong Yanwu was so frightened that he immediately stabbed into the house like a mouse, and then closed the door and didn't dare to show up again all night.
If nothing else, he was afraid that Uncle Bian would be impulsive, so he directly snatched the kite and burned it for him.
However, even if he stayed at home so honestly for the first time, nothing good happened when he arrived. Because where could he have thought that God had arranged another scolding from his father for him, waiting for him.
In fact, the scolding he received below had nothing to do with this taboo, Hong Lucheng was only angry because this Sha Yan'er affected Hong Yanwu's mother's injuries and sorrows, and affected his wife's recovery.
It turned out that Wang Yunlin, who was still ill, saw this Sha Yan'er and was suddenly aroused with rare interest. Lying in bed and recuperating, she sat up and took a closer look, and then talked to Hong Yanwu about a lot of things about Sha Yan'er.
“…… In fact, each sand swallow shape has a unique meaning. The short and fat 'young swallow' is a child, the wide 'fat bird' is a man, the long 'thin swallow' is a woman, and the 'winged swallow' represents a hundred years of good union between husband and wife. The one you got back is a 'fat swallow'. But the painting is not very good, and the shape is out of shape. I think that back then, Yuntai's painting was applauded, the shape was regular, the color was elegant, the pattern was lively, delicate and delicate, his 'eighteen strokes', even the "kite gold" was admired tightly......"
This is the first time Hong Yanwu has heard of these words. Dare to love a small kite shape, there are so many words in it.
So with a kind of curiosity, he continued to ask, "Mom, who are you talking about this Yuntai and 'Kite Jin'?
As a result, Wang Yunlin told him, "That 'kite gold' was specially used to paste kites in the palace back then, and Sha Yan'er's so-called "black pot bottom" painting method was pioneered by this person." ”
Then she went on to say, "Yuntai is even more powerful, not only can he draw kites, but also play and sing flowers, birds, fish and insects, and he is perfect in all eighteen martial arts such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." It's more naughty, and you can be your master with tricks. ”
Hong Yanwu naturally pouted to express his dissatisfaction, and then Wang Yunlin dictated for him the two "great achievements" that Yuntai had done.
"When he was a child, he was even more spotty than you. He once tied a whip to the dog's tail, and as a result, he lit it on the stage where he threw it into the hall, and "Wu Song Fights the Tiger" was being played on the stage, but he didn't expect a dog with a loud smoke to appear on Jingyang Gang, and everyone jumped up and down, you see this mess. Even the 'tiger' on the stage had to avoid the dog, and even Wu Song got under the table......"
Another time, he picked up a skeleton in a mass grave, but he secretly hid it, and waited until the thirtieth day of the first lunar month to "fight ghosts" ("fighting ghosts" is a common name, the real name is "jumping Buza", this is a Mongolian, translated into Chinese is "exorcism and dispersion", which is a unique music and dance of yellow-clothed lamas, and it is also a very grand religious ceremony. In the old days, the capital had to wait until the end of this ceremony before the Spring Festival was officially over. Brought into the Lama Temple. When the lama had reached the thirteenth stage of the "Sending Worship", he threw it into the hall, and his skull was smashed on the skeleton that the lama had brought out to be burned. It's good to have a group of masked yellow-clothed lamas chase him......"
Hong Yanwu was fascinated when he heard this, and asked with straight eyebrows, "What about later?"
Wang Yunlin replied no, and said that Yuntai has been running fast since he was a child, and he has practiced light skills with famous teachers, so it is no matter whether he drills the crotch of an adult, or walks on the wall or the nine-palace pile.
Hong Yanwu admired this Yuntai very much, and begged his mother to help him introduce him, and said that he already knew how to drill the crotch of adults, but he wanted Yuntai to teach him light skills, and he also wanted to fly the eaves and walk the wall, and he also wanted to walk the Jiugong pile.
Unexpectedly, when Wang Yunlin heard this, she was stunned, and soon after that, she couldn't stop crying again, and she cried profusely.
At this time, Hong Lucheng came into the house to get something, and when he heard Hong Yanwu asking about Yuntai, and saw his wife's appearance, his face suddenly turned dark, and he didn't take anything anymore, and as soon as he reached out and pulled Hong Yanwu's neck, he pulled him out of the back room.
When he arrived at the outhouse, Hong Lucheng not only reprimanded Hong Yanwu for being ignorant, but also strictly warned his son that he was not allowed to mention this person to his mother in the future, let alone talk about what he heard today.
At this time, Hong Yanwu was no longer as good as he was at the beginning, although he was deeply unconvinced, he still had to listen to his father's words.
It's just that he is indeed very curious, and even in the days to come, he often thinks:
Who is this Yuntai that Mom is talking about? Why did he cry without saying a few words when he mentioned him?
Where is this pee-like character now?
