Zhangjia Village, a small village on the edge of the county seat.neΤ hundreds of families by the mountains and rivers, have lived here for generations, and there have been no big people, generations of farmers.

When the spring breeze of reform and opening up is blowing all over the country. 6 In the village, some young people went out to work outside, and the people in the village were envious of the young men who went out. Years ago, when I went home, I resisted big bags of things, and Le's family was busy for a while. After a while, there will be a favorite gossip of rural women in the village, whose baby is it, what things they bought and came back to honor their parents. How much money does someone earn outside the home.

A village nestled in the mountains. is still staying in the mountains to eat the mountains, and the people in the village are not conscious. The old hunters in the village still often take the soil tong, lead the special soil dogs, go into the mountains to hunt game, and then sell it in the market for money. Subsidize households.

Speaking of who is the most famous in the village, everyone will say that the baby of the old Han family in the west of the village. Zhang Niu's nickname is Niu Wa. The babies born in the village are afraid that it will be difficult to support them when they are young, so they all take nicknames, dogs and children. Zhang Laohan has no knowledge, and on the day the baby was born, he happened to see the calf cub in the cowshed that had just been born for a few days, so he simply named it Zhang Niu. An authentic and simple name. Zhang Niu, who grew up, always proposed that the police station be renamed. Every time, he didn't dare to mention it again after Zhang Laohan had a meal of "fried shredded pork with bamboo shoots".

Zhang Niu is a little sorry, his name was not a peaceful lord when he was young, he was the child king of the village, and he always dragged Zhang Laohan to other people's houses to accompany him. When it comes to his baby, everyone says that it is the reincarnation of Sun Monkey. I slept in class at school, and my grades were the "first" in my grade all year round. I finally went to a technical school in the city, hoping to learn some housekeeping skills and live a better life in the future.

Three years later, the school was assigned to a private factory. A salary of 12oo a month, including food and housing, is a worthy joy in this village, and you can get a wife and have a baby after a few years. It's just been a month. Zhang Niu dragged his suitcase and returned home to startle Zhang Laohan, who was eating. Zhang Niu only said a word. I quit and went to my house with the suitcase. Fall asleep.

Within a few days, the news spread in the village. Everyone is talking about Zhang Niu when they are fine, and they don't do such good things, it's really a dead brain.

Zhang Niu is fine. Running around the fields outside the village every day, it is famous. Field trips.

Murakami is a market. Each family will prepare things to go to the market in Oriental Town. On this day, the town is crowded with people, and there are many rural people in the flow of people, and now that the farmers are rich, whoever comes to the market will spend dozens of quick money. The children rushed to the market to eat and drink, and the children looked at all kinds of small foods such as sugar gourds, twist flowers, and fruits. He followed closely behind the adults and said to his parents, "I want to buy this, I want to buy it."

Zhang Niu had been riding his family's battered bicycle to the market for a long time.

After riding for half an hour, I arrived at the bazaar. Just put the bike in the corner. Lock. The shoulder behind him was coldly patted on the shoulder. When I looked back, it was Wang Xiaoer from the next village, a buddy from technical school.

"Why are you here? I saw your back from afar. I thought I was dazzled, but it turned out to be you. ”

"Yes. I've been at home for days, and I'm bored. So come out to the market today to have a look. After speaking, Zhang Niu beckoned Xiao Er to go to breakfast together.

I entered the store. I chose a location by the window. Xiao Er called at the boss, "The boss has two bowls of soy milk, four vegetable buns, and the kind that asks for beans." ”

After a while, the boss brought it up. Today, the market breakfast shop is doing very well, and it is almost out of place.

Maybe I'm in a good mood today. Zhang Niu felt very fragrant eating steamed buns. The buns in the town are no bigger than those in the city, one is bigger than the two in the city. The biggest advantage is that the tube is full and the price is cheap, five cents a piece. Zhang Niu drank soy milk and looked at the people coming and going outside the window. There was a happy look on their faces.

Xiao Er said softly to Zhang Niu, who was distracted. "Bullhead, you know what? I saw a strange thing in the attic in the middle of last night, and I was so scared that I didn't sleep well all night.

Zhang Niu was happy when he heard it. I almost squirted out the soy milk I just drank. Hurriedly asked, "What's the strange thing, it's nerve-wracking." It's not like a dream at night, it's a dream. “

"Look at what you're talking about, I'm the most honest man in the village. It's more honest than the big yellow dog of the old Li family at the head of the village,"

"You talk a lot of nonsense, just say something quickly, he's still in a hurry to go out, maybe he can be a hero to save the United States." Zhang Niu replied casually.

Xiao Er was in a hurry when he heard that I was going to leave. After seeing that no one was paying attention, he motioned for me to come closer, "You also know that I usually sleep in the attic, and it just so happens that the window is facing Daliang Mountain." I was in a hurry to urinate at that time, and I was about to go downstairs, when a white pillar of light suddenly appeared on the opposite side of Daliang Mountain, which was faintly realized. It was particularly conspicuous in the dark night, and after a few minutes, the pillar of light suddenly looked like the glow sticks in the city, first turning red, and then slowly turning orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. The seven colors slowly disappear after that. You said it was scary, I thought the gods of Daliang Mountain came out. ”

"Ahh "It's really like this," Zhang Niu was a little skeptical about this matter, not that he didn't believe him. The story of Daliang Mountain is spread in the village.

Daliang Mountain doesn't know who gave it name, but the elderly people in the village said that the mountains used to live in the gods and goddesses who guarded it for generations, and the annual harvest was higher than that of other villages. So the people in the neighborhood have money to contribute, and they have a strong contribution. A temple was built in Daliang Mountain. Every year and festival, I have to go to incense and pray for blessings.

He had always cared much about these things, after all, it was just a good wish for things.

"Bull head. Do you think it's really a fairy? Xiao Er asked me.

"Hey, they all say that your head is not good, but you really believe it."

Xiao Er saw that I didn't believe that he was a little angry. "Why don't you come to my house at night? I feel like I'll be out tonight, and then you can sleep at my house and we'll watch it together. Then you will know if what I said is true or false. ”

Zhang Niu thought about it, and it would be fine to go back anyway. "Yes. All right. "Let's eat enough, let's go out for a walk, pay and go out.

The place of the market is very large, and Zhang Niu and Xiao Er went shopping. I didn't meet any acquaintances. I didn't see any beautiful women, but I saw a lot of dinosaurs. I'm not in the mood to go any further. Xiao Er also felt that it was not interesting. If the market is on a Saturday, many girls from the village will come out to buy something. At that time, there were also many boys.

At noon, the people of the bazaar 6 dispersed. , There are only three or three people left, and the people who set up the stalls are still struggling. Bought some cannabis flowers and shortbread at the bazaar. I'm going to feed my eight-year-old sister at home.

In the evening, Zhang Niu and Xiao Er came to his house together, and as soon as they entered the inner room, a black shadow rushed to them. Before he could react, he fell to the ground. When I looked up, I realized that it was Xiao Hei, a half-meter-tall earth dog with jet-black fur. I'm having fun in front of him.

Xiao Er's family went out to work and haven't come back yet. Xiao Er pulled me to the attic, facing the window. Point in the direction of that Daliang Mountain. "You see, at the foot of the mountain, next to the pool, and the pillar of light came out of that place."

Zhang Niu looked in his direction, a small pond of more than one acre, surrounded by fly trees several meters high. Clusters of pale green fruits hang from the branches. We all like to call it that, because the tree blossoms and bears bunches of fruit. Pale green. Like a fly, I took it off and put it in my hand, and when I pressed it hard, the dark green juice flowed out. It's sticky, and children prefer to stick him on their foreheads. So it's called a fly tree, and many people like to use it as bait and fishing, and it's easy to hold in one word!

In the past, many people in that place went fishing, but later I didn't know how to give it to the person who directly used "thunder vine", a grass that specializes in poisoning fish. The grass is best suited for ponds, small lakes where the water doesn't flow much. It doesn't take long to fall before you can harvest. Just put the fish in fresh fresh water. It didn't take a few minutes to come back to life. In the countryside, this stuff is more popular.

Since then, no one has gone fishing there, and the pond has become a dead pond. Only occasionally some children ran to pick the fruit of the fly tree to play.

It didn't take long for Xiao Er's parents to come back. Xiao Er's father is not very old. When he was young, he broke down his body early. Now my back is a little bowed. His parents were very happy and said why Zhang Niu hadn't come to his house for so long. Is it that the aunt is not well entertained. He had no choice but to say that he had gone to work some time ago, and he had only recently come when he was free.

In the evening, my aunt burned it, boiled tofu with moldy dried vegetables, and Chinese cabbage with sour vinegar. Shredded potatoes and seaweed soup were cooked. I ate two large bowls in the evening, and my mouth was full of oil.

After eating, he sat in the courtyard with Xiao Er. Zhang Niu held a bone to fight Xiao Hei. As soon as he took the bones in the air, he ran out of the small black room. Now he has a bone in his hand, and he runs towards him when there is still a meter left, and when Zhang Niu feels that the bone is gone. I just saw Xiao Hei lying in the corner of the wall, biting Huan. Xiao Er laughed next to him. Saying why am I so benzene, Xiao Hei is not another dog, I never fight it. Not its opponent.

Zhang Niu felt crows flying over his head, woo... Woo...

In the evenings in the countryside, there are no entertainment activities, and after a tiring day, the second parents go to bed very early. Zhang Niu was lying on the second bed, thinking that he could see the mysterious pillar of light at night, and his heart was happy. I fell asleep in a daze.

"Ringing ringing, ringing ringing" came from the bedside.

In order not to oversleep at night. He asked Xiao Er to set the alarm clock. Zhang Niu stretched out his hand to turn off the alarm clock that was ringing. Looking back, Xiao Er was still sleeping and didn't get up at all, and he didn't reflect after a few shots, and he was depressed in his heart. He was told to come and see himself, but he did not get up. Rubbing his eyes, he got out of bed and went to the window to look at the pool of water that was shrouded in darkness.

The slightest cool breeze blew, stirring up pimples all over the hands, and after waiting for half an hour, nothing appeared, and it was still night. Nothing has changed. I'm about to go back and squint later.

As soon as he turned around, a trace of white light flashed in the dark night, and he couldn't show it without looking at it. Frightened, he hurriedly turned around and lay in front of the window to look cautiously ahead, and now the white light slowly expanded, little by little together to form a pillar of light for a month and a half, and then formed a whole circle, and finally left no gap.

"Oh, no, it's true. Is there really a god? Zhang Niu muttered in his heart.

After forming a pillar of light, it is like a guiding light in the night, but this light does flicker and flicker. About ten minutes passed. The white pillar of light slowly turns red. And the red column does not turn red entirely, but spreads up little by little from the lower part. Wait until the top, and then change to orange again. It spread low, until it was purple, and then it dissipated for half an hour.

Zhang Niu just stared blankly at the changes in the pillar of light until it dissipated. The straights are overwhelmed by the night.
