Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The following takes you into the world of legends:

When it comes to stories, Xiao Ming and Xiao Qiang are still our protagonists, of course, they are only as storytellers and listeners.

On this weekend, the two brothers stayed at home to watch the house, idle and bored. Thinking that Huang Min told the two brothers to get along well before going out, especially the elder brother to take care of his younger brother, Xiao Qiang was three years older, so he was naturally well-informed, so he found a bamboo pole to lay a few pears from the pear tree in front of the door, and Xiao Ming found a pot to pick up the pears that fell on the ground.

Half a basin of water was called, and the two brothers began to wash the pears, washing and washing, and after a while, they laughed. If you think that their purpose is to wash pears, then you are wrong, and the two little ones are playing in the water. I saw that the water and pears in the basin were spinning rapidly under the stirring of the four little hands, and a whirlpool was formed in the center of the basin, which was very interesting.

I don't know how long I played, but the two brothers finally got tired, maybe bored. Finally they found a common topic - storytelling.

I saw Xiao Qiang take out a pear from the basin, bite it hard, crystal juice flowing from the corner of his mouth, and said vaguely: "Xiao Ming, I'll tell you a story." ”

Xiao Ming's eyes lit up when he listened, nodded in agreement, and also picked up a pear and began to chew slowly. Xiaoqiang smiled with satisfaction, and then began to speak:

"Xiao Ming, do you know where there are stories of ghosts and gods in our village?"

"Yes, I know there is a ghost in the well!" Xiao Ming shouted, feeling that this question was too simple.

"Hehe, you still know too little." Xiao Qiang smiled proudly, seeing his younger brother's curious eyes, he continued: "For example, the broom ghost of the fire lawn, the ghost fire of the stepping feet, the sacred tree of the white mud field, and the myth of the knife cutting the mountain, etc. ”

"Wow, we still have so many stories here!" Xiao Ming's expression as if he had discovered a new continent, Xiao Qiang was even more proud, and said with a smile:

"Well, do you want to hear these stories?"

"Yes, of course!" Xiao Ming replied without hesitation, and Xiao Qiang showed a smile that had succeeded in his treacherous plan:

"Then who will wash today's bowl?"

"I'll wash, talk quickly!" Xiao Ming was a little impatient, unaware that he had been trapped by Xiao Qiang. Xiao Qiang got a satisfactory reply, and naturally began to tell the story endlessly, in fact, even if Xiao Ming didn't agree, he couldn't help it.

"Speaking of the broom ghost of this fire lawn, he likes to play tricks on people, in the dead of night, people return at night, pass by the fire lawn, and those who are unlucky will hit ghosts!" Xiao Qiang described it vividly, and Xiao Ming hurriedly said:

"And then?"

"Well, of course, I was tricked by the broom ghost." Xiao Qiang sold a pass, Xiao Ming did not disappoint him, just like a curious baby version asked: "How does the broom ghost play tricks on people?" ”

"Hehe, the broom ghost gave the unlucky man a broom, and then pointed to a piece of land on the side of the road for the man to sweep, and after the sweep, he pointed to the path and asked the man to sweep, and then when the man finished sweeping, he found that the ground he had just swept was dirty again, so he had to continue to force the ...... to sweep."

"What if the man doesn't sweep? What will happen? ”

"Hehe, he can only consider himself unlucky, and he will be beaten with a broom if he is slightly dissatisfied."

"When will the sweep be over?"

"You stupid, haven't you heard of a chicken crowing and running away?"

"Oh, that's bad luck if you run into this broomstick!"

"Who's to say it isn't? It is said that the man who met the broom ghost fell on the side of the road the next morning as if he were seriously ill, until he was discovered; But don't worry, I've heard that only people who have done something bad will encounter this broom. ”

......

At the end of the first story, Xiao Ming was in high spirits, so he asked to listen to the second story. Xiao Qiang did not disappoint Xiao Ming, and said with a wicked smile:

"Hehe, Xiao Ming, are you sure you want to listen to this second story? But it's terrifying. ”

"I'm not afraid, talk quickly!"

"Well, you have to be mentally prepared, the ghost fire in this second story is not only encountered in Tatsuteng, but may be seen at night; Especially for a timid person like you, it's not good to encounter ghost fire. Xiao Qiang is a serious way, Xiao Ming doesn't care:

"Haha, you want to scare me again, so you should tell me quickly, what do you need to pay attention to?"

"Hehe, if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you; I've heard people say that ghost fire not only flies, but also transforms, which is terrifying. ”

"What's so scary?" Xiao Ming still didn't think so, Xiao Qiang had to say: "I remember that someone went to the field at night to release water to irrigate the seedlings, and listened to the cries of strange birds in the mountains and insects in the fields, as well as the sound of the cold wind whirring by the river, ah, lonely, and my heart was full of hair; Suddenly, he saw a figure in a field not far away, and he was very happy. So he shouted: Hey, are you here to release water too?

The figure danced and seemed to beckon to him, but did not speak. The person who released the water thought that the other party beckoned him to pass, and he was missing a companion, so he rushed to the person regardless of it, hehe, guess what the result was? ”

"That man won't be burned to death by the ghost fire, will he?" Xiao Ming shivered, and his little face turned pale. Xiaoqiang was very satisfied with his brother's realization, but he shook his head and said:

"No, the man wasn't burned, he was burned in a different way."

Xiao Ming took a deep breath and sighed, "It's okay, it's okay!" ”

"Okay? Hehe, it's not good at all, because he runs one step, the figure runs one step, he runs, the figure also runs, in short, he hasn't caught up with the figure, but the person is so tired and out of breath, the ridge at night is not easy to run, a few times fell into the mud, the cold wind blew a cold shiver, and the psychology finally felt strange. ”

"What's next?" Xiao Ming was very nervous and grabbed Xiao Qiang's corner. Xiao Qiang thought for a while and continued:

Needless to say, then he didn't chase after him, but shouted: If you don't stop, I'll go back. The figure did not move, but the only answer to the person who released the water was the echo of the mountain. The person who released the water became more and more hairy in his heart, pretending to be calm on the surface, lit a cigarette, lit it a few times before it was lit, and said a little timidly: Brother, let's smoke a cigarette?

A cool breeze blew in his face, and the figure was split in half and chased after the water releaser. The person who released the water was frightened, and ran away, panicked, ran back for a while, and the figure chased after him, so he had no choice but to continue to run wildly. After chasing a set, the water releaser didn't know how far he had run, and finally fell down from exhaustion, and the cigarette butt in his mouth didn't have time to throw away, and the figure was already close. Only then did the water release person see clearly, it turned out that what had been chasing him was a flame, and the blue flame attacked, and the water release person closed his eyes and said secretly: Dead and dead! ”

"Just dead?" Xiao Ming was a little puzzled, Xiao Qiang shook his head and said: "I didn't die, but I was so frightened that I fainted, and I was found the next day." ”

"Oh, not dead! Didn't the flame burn him? ”

"Hehe, the so-called ghost fire, also called spiritual fire, is just a flame produced by a substance in the bones of a person under certain conditions after death, in fact, the temperature is not high, it is not enough to hurt us at all, as long as you don't be afraid when you see him, don't run around, it's no problem."

"That's it! Brother, you are so knowledgeable! Xiao Ming's face was full of admiration, and he secretly said in his heart: I must learn to be bold!

Xiaoqiang was very affected by his brother's eyes, and couldn't help but say: "Don't worship brother, brother is just a legend~"

......

At the end of the second story, the two brothers finish eating a pear and continue to explore the third story. This third story is much simpler, there is a hundred-year-old pear firewood tree in the white mud field, and the two children are so thick that people call it the sacred tree.

In Xiao Ming's opinion, this sacred tree is nothing special, but why do people go to worship every New Year's holiday? In fact, there is no unified statement, as Lu Xun said, there is no road in the world, and the more people walk, it becomes the road. The sacred tree is probably also worshipped by more people and it becomes a sacred tree, the so-called you don't believe in me, I don't believe in him, and if you believe it, you don't believe it.

......

There are many versions of the fourth story, but what Xiao Qiang told Xiao Ming on this day can be called short and concise.

"Legend has it that an evil Japanese man died here, and as a result, he turned into a spear-wielding ghost who killed the villagers; The so-called evil people before they were alive, and they were terrible ghosts after death, and the existence of terrible ghosts caused anger and resentment. In the end, the Jade Emperor sent the sword god handsome heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals to take advantage of the night to kill, but the Japanese ghost marksmanship is accurate, the magic is high, and the heavenly soldiers and generals have been fighting until the rooster crows, the sword god and the Japanese ghost are anxious, and the two sides then cast the strongest blow. ”

"The result?" Xiao Ming was very curious about who was better; Xiao Qiang ate the last bite of the pear, and said with a smile: "Guess what? ”

Xiao Ming didn't want to think about it, and said as a matter of course: "Hehe, the theorem since ancient times, of course, the result is that evil is invincible!" ”

After speaking, he was waiting for his brother's praise, but he didn't expect Xiaoqiang to shake his head, and he foamed at the mouth and said:

"No, they are all gone! Under the sword god's sword, the Japanese ghost disappeared, and the mountain where he was also split in half, which is the knife slashing mountain we saw; And the strongest shot of the Japanese ghost is also a fatal shot, which pierces the eyebrows of the sword god, and the sword god falls and turns into a big mountain, and there is a hole in the mountain, called the gun to shoot the eye. ”

Xiao Ming hung his head in some frustration, thinking that this story was not so perfect. But there was a sigh from Xiaoqiang's ears:

"Hey, I know you're like this, in fact, many things in the world are not perfect, but they can be talked about by people and become a good story for the ages! Just like the sword god, he may not know the result of a fight, but he made decisive decisions for the sake of the people and justice, sacrificed his life for righteousness, and eliminated harm for the people, which is worth learning from! ”

"Oh, that's it......" Xiao Ming didn't understand too much, Xiao Qiang comforted: "You are still too young, you don't know a lot of things, it's normal." ”

"Hehe, when I grow up, I will create legends!" Xiao Ming smiled, it was very atmospheric, as if the legend was as simple as eating and drinking, Xiao Qiang couldn't help laughing, and said in his heart: Children are innocent!

But he doesn't want to, he is still a child, and he also has a heroic dream......
