Chapter 8: Brothers (II)
As the saying goes, rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, in the seventies when the material was poor, almost everyone who lived in Weijia Village would go up the mountain to pick some mountain goods to subsidize the family, because there were no wild beasts in the mountain, so many people would also take their half-old children up the mountain, and the Taoist temple of the old Taoist priest was often the place where they rested.
When Fang Yi was young, there were seven or eight children on the mountain almost every day, but the reason why he had the best relationship with the fat man and the three guns was that there was a story in this.
In the winter of the year when Fang Yi was ** years old, the adults in the family went to the forest to pick mushrooms, and their six or seven children were bored, and they also ran to a forest two miles below the Taoist temple to play, holding branches as swords, giggling and laughing.
After playing for a while, the three guns took out a frozen stiff dead snake from a tree hole and picked it up to scare a little girl they were playing with, but what everyone didn't expect was that the snake was not dead, but went into hibernation by itself.
In the hands of the third gunner, the snake gradually recovered, and suddenly and without warning bit the small arm of the mountain artillery, the snake venom that had accumulated for several months suddenly paralyzed the nerves of the third gun, and in just a few minutes, the third gun's mind was not very clear.
The children who played together, the eldest was only ten years old, seeing this scene, almost all the children were stupid, crying and running back one by one, and only the fat man and Fang Yi were left by the three guns.
Although Fang Yi was very young, he had followed the old way since he was a child, but he did not panic, and immediately untied the shoelaces on the white sneakers of the Third Cannon, tied his forearm to death, and then picked up a sharp stone from the ground and drew a cross on the red and swollen wound of the Third Cannon.
Fang Yi had heard from his master that if a person was bitten by a snake, he must suck out the snake venom as soon as possible, so after cutting the wound, Fang Yi directly sucked the snake venom out with his mouth, and he didn't stop his mouth until the blood flowing out of the wound turned from black to red.
However, at this time, the three cannons were still unconscious, and Fang Yi, who had finished smoking the snake venom, had swollen lips, and he was even more weak, and he had no strength to carry the three cannons back to the Taoist temple, but fortunately, Wei Jinhua, who would be nicknamed Jinhua, was still there, and he climbed the mountain road for more than a mile with the three cannons on his back, and met the old Taoist priest and others who rushed to hear the news on the way.
Due to Fang Yi's timely treatment, and the poison of the snake was not particularly strong, after Lao Dao fed the three cannons with snake medicine, the three cannons slowly recovered, and the next day they became vibrant, but it was Fang Yi who sucked out the poisonous blood for the three cannons, and the lips were swollen for three or four days before disappearing.
After this incident, the three children of Fang Yipeng, Sanjun and Wei Jinhua, who were in distress, got closer and closer, and almost every time they went up the mountain, they were inseparable and played together.
And Peng Sanjun, who didn't talk much and understood in his heart, although he was shouting nonsense with a stinky Taoist priest or something, he regarded Fang Yi, who was a little younger than himself, as a big brother in his heart, and asked his relatives in the city to bring some books up the mountain to give to Fang Yi every year.
Fang Yi has no father or mother, except for the old Taoist, Peng Sanjun and Wei Jinhua in front of him, that is, the people closest to him, the lifelong friendship between the three brothers since childhood has not changed in the slightest because of the passage of time.
"Fatty, don't keep bullying the three guns, I'm going to fight unevenly......" After watching it for a while, Fang Yi also joined the battle group, but it was not so much to fight, but rather to separate the two people who were rolling on the ground.
"If only I could live in such a big yard by myself......"
After fighting for a while, the fat man and the three guns stopped, tilted their heads and looked around, and the fat man said: "Three guns, I think it's good to let Brother Yi live with you, anyway, you ......live alone."
His parents were not originally from Weijia Village, but educated youths who were sent to Weijia Village in the 70s.
Peng Sanjun's second uncle in the seventies as an engineer for a few years, learned a hand of blasting skills, in the early eighties after the discharge of the army had nothing to do and ran to Weijia Village, and Peng Sanjun's father together to do a stone business, these years to protect the mountains and forests, they ended the business back to the city.
Many of Peng Sanjun's relatives live in Shanghai and Jinling, and in Jinling City, there is an ancestral house left by Peng Sanjun's grandfather to his father.
Therefore, Peng Sanjun's house left in Weijia Village, except for his parents who occasionally came back to clean up, has been empty for the past two years, because the house in Jinling City is too small, and Peng Sanjun is unwilling to stay with his parents to be restrained, so he returned to Weijia Village.
"Of course Brother Yi wants to live with me, I have bought all the clothes he will wear in the future......" After Sanpao entered the house, he picked up a bag from the table and threw it to Fang Yidao: "You kid is a fake Taoist priest, don't wear such a Taoist robe all day long, quickly change his clothes......"
"Change it now?" Fang Yi hesitated a little when he heard this, he had grown up wearing Taoist robes since he was a child, and now let him wear other clothes, Fang Yi was really a little unaccustomed to it for a while.
"Nonsense, of course it's changed now, Baleno, the brand is ......" Peng Sanjun smacked his mouth and said: "This dress cost me more than two hundred, if you kid doesn't wear it, return it to me, I can still take it and return it......"
"Wear it, who says I don't wear it?"
Fang Yi gritted his teeth, he knew that from the day he went down the mountain, his future life would be completely different from when he was on the mountain, if he wanted to integrate into this society, let alone change his clothes, I was afraid that the temples on his head would be untied and he would have to change his hairstyle again.
At this time, it is the time of the transition of spring and summer,
"Hey, when you change your clothes, you will immediately become a Taoist priest and become vulgar......"
After Fang Yi changed out of the slightly shabby robe, the eyes of the three guns and the fat man lit up at the same time, and the three guns stretched out their hands and said, "Put down your sideburns too, it looks a little awkward......
"Good ......" Fang Yi nodded, put down the temples on the top of his head, the long hair suddenly hung down to his shoulders, and the whole person looked more and more unearthly.
"Why are you two looking at me?" Fang Yi, who was a little unaccustomed to it, looked at the three guns and the fat man in front of him, and said angrily: "Dao Ye, my face is covered with flowers again, why are you two always staring at my face? I haven't seen it since I was a child?"
"I've seen ......" the fat man nodded honestly and said, "But I've never seen you like this......"
As the saying goes, people want to dress in gold, and Fang Yi's change of clothes and hairstyle really made the fat man and Sanpao a little dumbfounded, because the little Taoist priest in front of him changed his body, and even his temperament was different.
When Fang Yi put on that clothes, San Pao and the fat man felt that Fang Yi was like a white-collar worker in the city, and the clothes worn by the people in the city did not have the slightest sense of disobedience on Fang Yi's body, as if he should be wearing it like this.
You must know that the fat man has been working in the city for several years from being a soldier to being discharged from the army, but no matter how he dresses, he will always give people a feeling of being out of place with the people in the city.
And when Fang Yi put down his sideburns, the feeling for Sanpao and the fat man suddenly changed again, Fang Yi, who had long hair, looked a little uninhibited, but a little like the rock stars that the two of them saw on TV, and there was such a desolate taste in their bones.
"Or ...... I'd better change back into a robe......" Wearing this new clothes, Fang Yi only felt itchy and uncomfortable all over his body, especially when he was stared at by Sanpao and the fat man, he was more like a body full of small insects, and he couldn't wait to take off his clothes immediately.
"No, that's fine, just tie your hair up again......"
Hearing Fang Yi's words, the three guns and the fat man stopped Fang Yi's movements in unison, and the three guns even ran to the drawer and rummaged through them for a while, took out a rubber band and said: "This is what my mother used before, you make do with it first, and wait until we go back to the city to find a barber shop to cut your hair again......"
"It's good for me to say that......"
The fat man shook his head and said, "Do you see Fang Yi's current temperament, doesn't he look like an artist? I see that those male stars on TV are not as good as Fang Yi, if he goes to the entertainment industry, those male stars will be unemployed......"
Although the fat man's words are a bit exaggerated, Fang Yi's appearance is really good, the lines on his face were originally a little resolute, but with Shang Yi's extremely pure eyes, it gives people a very soft and sunny feeling.
"What kind of entertainment industry? Is it just singing?" After hearing the fat man's words, Fang Yi said with some curiosity: "My songs are average, and I can't do that line of ......"
"Don't listen to the dead fat man fooling you......" San Pao said with a smile: "Even if you sing well, you can't enter the entertainment industry, that circle is too far away from us, I said let's find something to do in a down-to-earth manner, and feed ourselves first......"
"Don't you say that I forgot what I came for......" Hearing the words of the three cannons, the fat man suddenly shouted, "You kid called us to come over for dinner, let's finish eating first......"
It's okay not to mention eating, as soon as they mention eating, Fang Yi and the fat man's stomachs growled, especially when they saw the six dishes and one soup on the table, the two couldn't help it, and went directly to the table, and the fat man reached out and picked up the bottle of wine on the table.
"Hey, when I said three cannons, I'll give us a golden pavilion to drink? You're also stingy, aren't you?" The fat man said that the golden pavilion is a low-grade wine produced locally, which was very popular in the early and mid-nineties, but at this time in the two thousand years, it seems to be a little unclassy.
"Dude has been talking to someone recently, and now he can't even take out ten yuan in his pocket, so it's good to be able to take out this wine......"
San Pao was a little depressed and his face was red at the same time, in fact, he originally carried two bottles of Huzhou Laojiao from his home in the city, but he accidentally knocked them off on the way here, and saw that there was no money in his pocket, so he could only spend a few yuan to buy two bottles of inferior wine at the village commissary.
"I still have a little monkey wine base, I can barely drink it with some other wine, let's drink this today......" Seeing Sancang's embarrassed appearance, Fang Yi took out the wine gourd from the box and unplugged it, although there were not a few drops of wine in it, the aroma of the wine filled the room.
