At that time, although the people of the Mongolian Plateau settled down and no longer lived in yurts, the adobe houses they built were also very small, and they were built exactly like the cave style of Shanxi.

The walls around are made of pounded soil into a board wall, which is one foot five thick, and the beaten loess wall is strong and warm, not ventilated, and can completely resist the low temperature of minus 20 or 30 degrees in the north of the Saibei and the howling cold wind of Siberia.

The beams of the house were a crooked old elm tree, on which rows of poplar rafters were piled, and on the rafters were crossed stacks of wicker, covered with wheat straw, pasted with wheat bran, carved elm windows, and two pieces of precious glass underneath, and a house was built.

There is a big kang inside, connected to a big stove, so that the family's clothing, food, housing, and transportation are slowly flowing in this narrow space.

A taller person standing on the kang will be able to reach the beams. Tie Dan'er's grandfather was a big man of 1.8 meters, and after watching his son go out, he effortlessly put a two-foot hemp rope that had been prepared over the beam of the house, and quickly tied a knot that could not be untied.

He looked at the gate: his son had just run out and wouldn't be back for a while.

He closed his eyes and stuck his head in resolutely, and his feet resolutely left the kang, and he curled up his legs and hung himself in embarrassment.

After a while, Tie Dan'er, who ran halfway, hurriedly ran back, and he remembered the advice of his family: "You can't leave even if you can't send urine to, you have to see that you are big, and if you can't see him die, you will not be big." So as soon as he went out, he remembered this sentence and hurried back.

But it's still a step too late.

Seeing his father hanging on the beams of the house, Tie Dan'er was so frightened that he had no owner, stumbled outside the gate and cried loudly, "Help!

It just so happened that Li Er next door didn't go out of the field, sifting buckwheat and hazelnuts at home, and hurriedly ran out to find out when he heard Tie Dan'er's loud and exhausted cry.

Tie Dan'er saw that Li Er who ran out couldn't speak in a hurry, and dragged Li Er to run home.

Li Er stumbled open two wooden doors and broke in, and saw a person hanging from the black pressure on the beam, and his legs were weak.

He panicked and trembled and picked up Grandpa Tie Dan'er on the kang, the one-meter-eight big Grandpa Tie Dan'er was really heavy enough, Li Er finally withdrew Grandpa Tie Dan'er's head from the two-foot hemp rope, put it down and slowed down.

I saw that Grandpa Tie Dan'er's eyes were closed, and his bruised tongue was sticking out of his mouth, and he wanted to break Grandpa Tie Dan'er's mouth so that he could catch his breath. But no matter how hard you try, your mouth doesn't move, and you don't breathe!

There were many people in the noise, and a horse herd was quick to shoot a three-edged needle that usually pricked cattle and horses and bled into the middle hole of Grandpa Tie Dan'er.

Seeing that Grandpa Tie Dan'er's bruised face improved a little, he coughed and turned around in one breath.

He woke up and said, "I'm dying of thirst! They gave him the water from the well, and he drank a large copper scoop. When Fan Lian was in elementary school, the family still used the copper scoop, and it seemed that it was used until Fan Lian graduated from university. The copper scoop is the size of a small basket, and it is estimated that there is no problem with holding five catties of water. Grandpa Tie Dan'er poured five catties of water in one go.

Slowly, Grandpa Tie Dan'er actually said that he went to the ghost gate and walked through it: there were two ghosts wearing robes and horse coats, one black and one white leading the way in front, and he kept following until he came to a particularly lush buckwheat field, and the buckwheat flowers bloomed as lush as snowflakes for three or nine days!

The black and white ghost ordered him to pull the buckwheat, and he thought to himself: Why did this buckwheat pull it out before it was ripe?

Seeing that the two fierce and vicious ghosts didn't dare to squeak, they obediently squatted down and pulled out the buckwheat, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't pull up a single buckwheat.

A ghost next to him saw this, kicked him in the ass and said, "Damn! Got the wrong person! Go back!"

He opened his eyes and looked at the scene where everyone rescued him, and said: "It turns out that there are really two ghosts and souls, is this black and white impermanence really exist? Alas, it's better to be alive. ”

Looking at the anxious relatives who surrounded him, he shed muddy tears.

Therefore, the old man often says: From the moment a person's life is born, blessing, Lu, and longevity are clearly written on the life and death book. The king of Hades told you to die in the third watch, who would dare to keep people until the fifth watch?

Therefore, why is it necessary for the people of the world to compete for fame and fortune?

The Buddha said: Year after year, you see through how much, day after day how much you let go, how much you gain by doing everything possible, how much you lose, how much you are troubled when you ask for nothing, how much you have grudges, how much evil you have created if your greed is not extinguished, how much you have enjoyed in life, and how much you have taken away when you are dying. A qiē has its own fixed number, and be kind to all beings.
