Chapter 8: Xiao
"In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one. "The festival of spring is always accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, and then the overwhelming red fills the eye, and when it is combined with the pure white snowflakes, it has a different flavor.
This year's snow in Los Angeles is a little late, after all, although Los Angeles is in the northern boundary, but it borders the south, it will be late after all, but this year's snow is very heavy, for three days, even the only road leading to Los Angeles in Shenzhuang has been blocked.
I stepped on the deep snow, and as soon as my feet twitched, a small pit about half a foot deep appeared, and as I walked, I looked at the familiar countryside, scattered with red debris everywhere. When I went to a house, I saw two or three children in the courtyard, and they brought a plastic bottle, and then put the Colored Thunder King (a very powerful cannonball) in it, and after lighting it, they watched the plastic bottle be blown apart, and they high-fived each other, and they were very excited.
I suddenly remembered that when I was younger, it was also like this, at that time I was with Wang Xiaoyi, a little girl in the neighborhood, we were doing the same things as them, there was no trouble at that time, there was no loneliness, and my parents were always by my side, but time flies, everything will change, since I went to high school, I lost contact with Wang Xiaoyi, until later, the only friend was Wu Yaya.
Fortunately, there is no wall in the courtyard of Shenzhuang, so I can see this scene, think of the past, and feel a little lonely, at this moment, an old man hanging firecrackers in the courtyard walked towards me, "Is it Yongzhi?" "I was stunned for a moment, Yongzhi is my father's name. Note: For character anti-filtering, please use Chinese characters to enter hei 岩ge 擺渡壹 to watch the latest chapters
So he replied, "I'm not Shen Yongzhi, I'm his son," the old man looked at it carefully, and his eyes showed a look of understanding, so he smiled, "Yongzhi doesn't go home, Jiang Liu is a good boy." ”
I heard this old man call my name, and wondered who this person was, so I took a closer look, and found that this pair of lying silkworm eyebrows seemed familiar, by the way, I remembered, this is the third uncle, when I was young, I often went to their house to play, every time the third uncle would bring me a bottle of Wahaha to drink, I heard that his son got ahead in Chang'an City a few years ago, and then he took him over.
No matter why the third uncle appeared here, the etiquette still had to be exhausted, so he bowed, "Hello third uncle!" The third uncle smiled, "You kid can still remember me, it seems that my Wahaha didn't give you a drink in vain!" ”
"Yes, I didn't drink in vain," I replied with a smile, and then we talked in the snow, and the third uncle told me that I had stayed in the city for a few years, and I always felt that I couldn't adapt to it, and the city was noisy, and he missed Shen Zhuang, so he discussed it with his son, and then went back to Shen Zhuang to recuperate, saying that I had been back for more than ten days, and I had not seen him, I was really ashamed.
As I expected, my father still didn't come back, I really don't know what business is so important, it can make him completely homeless, and my mother is too, leaving only one remittance slip after another, am I just a pet in their eyes? Forget it, I'm used to it anyway, but I miss Master so much!
"Jiang Liu, go to the back mountain with your uncle to incense." As soon as I got home, my buttocks were not yet hot, and I was called by my grandfather, but after all, my grandfather called me, so I quickly tidied up my clothes, picked up a stack of yellow paper, and walked with my uncle to the back mountain.
This is the rule of the years, after the firecrackers are set off in the early morning, to go up the back mountain to burn paper for the ancestors, but since a few years ago, this work has been contracted by me and my uncle, as a wisp of green smoke rises, I lit the pile of paper, with a wooden stick after a few times, the black embers fluttered up, I kowtowed, and the uncle walked another way home.
There is still some incense left in the uncle's hand, and according to the rules, we must give the incense to a land temple on the mountainside. I still remember when I was a child, although this land temple was small, but the incense was vigorous, people usually came to burn a pillar of incense for anything, at that time someone cleaned up this statue every day, who would have expected that now, the incense is not there, and the door is cold.
"Well, no," I suddenly felt something was wrong, so I walked a few steps behind the land temple, and suddenly, a child-like thing came out and startled me, the thing took a few steps up the tree, and hung on the tree and made a grimace at me, I looked at it, this thing has a green face and fangs, looks like a villain, and has long hair, this, isn't this a monkey? But how can a monkey look like this?
Especially the ghost face and the pair of long sharp fangs, is this something that a monkey can have? Just when I was surprised, the uncle suddenly called me, I turned my head in response, and then turned my head again, this thing was actually gone!
"What are you looking at?" Seeing that I was stunned, the uncle came over to pull me, but I hurriedly avoided it, "It's okay, it's okay, let's go!" I hurried forward, and the uncle gave me a strange look, but said nothing, and followed me home.
When I returned home, I felt more and more that something was wrong, thinking about it, why did such a monster appear in Shen Zhuang, but I felt that this monster might have come out for more than a day or two, and I thought about it carefully for more than two months, and my spiritual sense has been improving for more than two months, and my spiritual sense is much stronger than before, it is very likely that this thing has come a long time ago, but my spiritual sense was too poor before, so I couldn't detect it.
So I finally decided to ask Du Niang! Isn't there a saying, ask Du Niang if you don't decide on internal affairs, and ask Brother Gu if you don't decide on foreign affairs, but I don't know if this strange creature is considered an "internal matter".
I turned on my phone and typed a series of keywords on the search engine, and I really found it!
"Mandrills. Mountain spirits. The mountain spirit is shaped like a child, with one foot backwards, and the night is happy with the prisoner, and the name is Xiao. - Jin Ge Hong, "Hug Puzi Dengshe" "This is an encyclopedia record, and I hit the "mandrill" again, and the result is "the mandrill, a large primate, with a brutal personality, can fight leopards, and is called a mandrill because of the strange patterns on its face." ”
Seeing this honestly, I was a little confused, Ge Hong's predecessor meant that this mandrill was a kind of monster, and obviously the latter thought that it was a ferocious monkey and an animal, so who should I believe? Suddenly I thought about it again, I've seen zombies and ghosts, and it's not surprising that another mandrill comes out, and besides, Ge is a senior on our road, and I still believe that it's better to be an old-timer.
