Ah Q (1)--1
Chapter 1 Preface
It's been more than a year or two since I'm going to do a true biography for Ah Q. But while I have to do it, I think back on the other hand, which shows that I am not a person who "speaks" (2), because the immortal pen must be passed on to the immortal, so people pass it on by text, and text passes on by people - who depends on whom to pass it on, gradually it is not very clear, and finally it is returned to the transmission of Ah Q, as if there is a ghost in the mind.www.biquge.info
However, it is extremely difficult to do this fast-moving article before I put it down. The first is the title of the article. Confucius said, "If the name is not right, the word is not good" (3). This should have been taken very seriously. There are many names: biography, autobiography, internal biography (4), external biography, biography, family biography, small biography, ...... and so on, but unfortunately none of them match. "Biography", this one is not ranked in the "canonical history" (5) with many broad people; "Autobiography", I'm not Ah Q. It's said to be "outside", but where is the "inside"? If you use "internal transmission", Ah Q is by no means an immortal. As for "Don't Biography", Ah Q really has never had a great president decree to announce the establishment of a "biography" (6) in the National History Museum - although there is no "biography of Botu" in the official history of Britain, and the writer Diegansi (7) has also made the book "Farewell Biography of Botu", but the writer can, but not in my generation. The second is "family tradition", then I don't know whether I am of the same clan as Ah Q, nor have I been asked by his descendants; or "small biography", then Ah Q has no other "big biography". All in all, this article is also the "present biography", but from the point of view of my article, because the style is low, it is the words used in the "flow of leading car pulp sellers" (8), so I dare not pretend to be a novelist, so I never enter the three religions and nine streams of novelists (9) The so-called "gossip and inscription return to the main story" This set of words, take out the word "true biography", as a title, even if it is very mixed with the literal "true biography" of the "true biography" of the "True Biography of Calligraphy" (10) written by the ancients, it is not to be taken into account.
Second, the general practice of the biography should probably start with "so-and-so, the word so-and-so, and the people of a certain place", and I don't know what Ah Q's surname is. At one point, he seemed to have the surname Zhao, but the next day it was blurred. That was when Mrs. Zhao's son entered Xiucai, and the gong was boring and boring to report to the village, Ah Q was drinking two bowls of rice wine, and he said that this was also very glorious for him, because he and Mrs. Zhao turned out to be from his own family, and he was three generations older than Xiucai. At that time, several observers were also a little in awe. The next day, the local security officer asked Ah Q to go to Mrs. Zhao's house; When the grandfather saw it, his face was splashed with Zhu, and he shouted:
"Ah Q, you bastard! Do you say that I am your family? ”
Ah Q did not speak.
The more Mrs. Zhao looked at it, the more angry he became, and he took a few steps forward and said, "You dare to talk nonsense!" How could I have a family like yours? Is your surname Zhao? ”
Ah Q didn't speak, he wanted to retreat; Mrs. Zhao jumped over and gave him a mouthful.
"How can you be surnamed Zhao! - You have the surname Zhao! ”
Ah Q did not argue that his surname was Zhao, but only touched his left cheek with his hand and withdrew with Dibao; Outside, he was reprimanded by the local security again, and thanked the local security for 200 wine money. Those who know say that Ah Q is too ridiculous, and he will fight himself; He may not be surnamed Zhao, even if his real surname is Zhao, with Mrs. Zhao here, he shouldn't talk so nonsense. Since then, no one has mentioned his clan, so I finally don't know what Ah Q's surname is.
Third, I don't know how Ah Q's name is written. When he was alive, everyone called him Aquai, but after he died, no one called Aquei anymore, and there would be "bamboo silk" (11). If we talk about "the bamboo silk of the book", this article is the first time, so I encountered this first difficulty. I thought carefully: Ah Quei, Ah Gui or Ah Gui? If he has a birthday in August, it must be Ah Gui; And he didn't have a number—maybe a number, but no one knew about him—and he didn't break up the birthday essay post: writing Agui was arbitrary. And if he has an elder brother or a younger brother named Ah Fu, it must be Ah Gui; And he is just one person: writing Agui, and there is no corroboration. The remote words of the rest of the sound Quei are even more out of place. Previously, I also asked Mr. Maocai (12), the son of Mrs. Zhao, who expected Boya to be so public, but according to the conclusion, it was because Chen Duxiu ran "New Youth" to promote foreign characters (13), so the quintessence of the country fell and there was nothing to investigate. My last resort was to ask a fellow villager to investigate the case file of Ah Q's crime, and eight months later, I wrote back that there was no one in the case file with a voice similar to Ah Quei. I don't know if it's true or not, or if I haven't checked, but there's no other way. I was afraid that the phonetic alphabet had not yet been passed, so I had to use "foreign characters", and write him as Ah Quii according to the popular spelling in the UK, slightly called Ah Q. This is close to blindly following "New Youth", and I am very sorry, but Mao Cai Gong still doesn't know, what else can I do.
Fourth, it's Ah Q's origin. If his surname is Zhao, then according to the old practice of calling the county wang, it can be said that it is "Longxi Tianshui people" according to the annotation on the "County Name Hundred Family Names" (14), but unfortunately this surname is not very reliable, so the place of origin is also somewhat uncertain. Although he lived in Weizhuang more, he often stayed elsewhere, and he could not be said to be a Weizhuang person, even if he said that he was a "Weizhuang person", he still had a good history.
What I talked about masturbating about is that there is also a "A" word that is very correct, and there is no shortcoming of pretending to be attached, which can be quite positive. As for the rest, they are not shallow learning, and I only hope that the disciples of Mr. Hu Shizhi (15), who have a "historical fetish and a research habit", may be able to find many new clues in the future, but I am afraid that the "True Story of Ah Q" will be eliminated by that time.
The above can be regarded as a preface.
Chapter 2 Highlights of Excellence
Ah Q is not only a little vague about his name and place of origin, but also his previous "line" (16). Because the people of Weizhuang are to Ah Q, as long as he helps, they only joke with him, and never pay attention to his "behavior". And Ah Q himself didn't say it, when he had a quarrel with others, he occasionally glared and said:
"We were before—much wider than you! What kind of thing are you! ”
Ah Q has no home and lives in the Tugu Temple (17) in Weizhuang; There is no fixed occupation, only to do short-term work for others, cutting wheat and cutting wheat, scooping rice and rice, and supporting boats. When he worked for a long time, he also lived in the house of his temporary owner, but left as soon as he was done. Therefore, when people are busy, they still remember Ah Q, but what they remember is work, not "line"; As soon as he was free, even Ah Q had already forgotten about it, let alone "line". Only once, an old man praised: "Ah Q can really do it!" At this time, Ah Q was shirtless, lazy and thin in front of him, and others couldn't figure out whether he was sincere or ridiculed, but Ah Q liked it very much.
Ah Q is also very self-respecting, all the residents of Weizhuang are not in his eyes, and even for the two "literary boys" (18) there is a look of disdain for a smile. Those who are young and talented will probably become talented in the future; Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Qian are greatly respected by the residents, in addition to being rich, because they are all the fathers of literary children, and Ah Q is spiritually unique and extraordinary, he thinks: My son will be much wider! After entering the city a few times, Ah Q was naturally more conceited, but he also despised the people in the city, such as the stool made of wooden planks three feet three inches wide, the people of Weizhuang called it "bench", he also called it "bench", but the people in the city called it "stool", he thought: This is wrong, ridiculous! Fried big-headed fish, Weizhuang added half an inch of green onion leaves, but the city added finely chopped green onions, he thought: This is also wrong, ridiculous! However, the people of Weizhuang are really ridiculous countrymen who have not seen the world, they have never seen fried fish in the city!
Ah Q was "broad", knowledgeable, and "really able to do", he was almost a "perfect person", but unfortunately he still had some shortcomings in his physique. The most annoying thing is that there are several leprosy scars on his scalp that I don't know when. Although this is also in him, and looking at the meaning of Ah Q, he seems to think that it is not expensive enough, because he said "leprosy" and all the sounds close to "Lai", and later it was widespread, "light" was also secret, "bright" was also secret, and later, even "lamp" and "candle" were also hidden. As soon as he made a mistake, regardless of whether he had a heart or not, Ah Q was angry with a red scar, and after estimating his opponent, he scolded when he was stubborn, and beat him when he was small; However, I don't know what's going on, it's always the time when Ah Q suffers. So he gradually changed his approach, and probably changed his eyes to glare.
Who knew that after Ah Q adopted the angry eye, the idlers in Weizhuang liked to joke about him the more. As soon as they met, they pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, it's lit up." ”
Ah Q was angry as usual, and he glared angrily.
"So there's a safety light here!" They are not afraid.
Ah Q had no choice but to come up with another word of revenge:
"You are not worthy of ......" At this time, it seemed that on his head was a noble and radiant leprosy sore, not an ordinary leprosy sore; But as mentioned above, Ah Q is knowledgeable, and he immediately knew that he was a little contradictory to "committing taboos", so he didn't talk about it anymore.
The idler is not finished, only teasing him, so he finally beats. Ah Q was defeated in form, was grabbed by the yellow braid, and touched four or five rings on the wall, and the idler walked away with satisfaction and victory, Ah Q stood for a moment, thinking, "I was finally beaten by my son, and the world is really not decent now...... so he also walked away satisfied.
Ah Q thought about it in his heart, and then he always said it, so all the people who joked with Ah Q almost all knew that he had this kind of spiritual victory, and every time he grabbed his yellow braid, people would say to him first:
"Ah Q, this is not a son beating Lao Tzu, it is a man beating an animal. Say it yourself: Man beats beast! ”
Ah Q pinched the roots of his braids with both hands, tilted his head, and said:
"Bug hunting, okay? I'm a worm - don't you let it go? ”
But although it was a worm, the idler didn't let it go, and still touched him five or six times in the nearest place, and then he left contentedly and victoriously, thinking that Ah Q had suffered a plague this time. However, in less than ten seconds, Ah Q also walked away satisfied, he felt that he was the first person who could delight himself, except for "self-contempt", the rest was the "first". Isn't the champion (19) also the "first"? "What are you??"
After Ah Q overcame his enemies with such a wonderful method, he happily ran to the hotel to drink a few bowls of wine, laughed with others, quarreled with others, won again, happily returned to the Tugu Temple, put down his head and fell asleep. If he had money, he would go to bet on the card treasure (20), and when he pushed the person to squat on the ground, Ah Q was sweating and was caught in the middle, and his voice was the loudest:
"Four hundred green dragons!"
"Ahem...... Open...... Hoo! "When the pile family opened the lid of the box, they were also sweating and singing." Heavenly Gate...... The horn is back......! People and halls are there......! Ah Q's copper coin is ......! ”
"One hundred-one hundred and fifty!"
Ah Q's money gradually entered the waist of another sweaty character under such a song. He finally had to squeeze out of the pile, stand behind and watch, anxious for others, until the end of the scene, and then returned to the Tugu Temple in love, and the next day, went to work with swollen eyes.
But in the so-called "Saiong lost his horse and knew that he was not blessed" (1), Ah Q was unfortunate and won once, but he almost failed.
This is the night of the god of the race (2). There was a play as usual on this night, near the left side of the stage, and there were many gambling stalls as usual. The gongs and drums that make the play seem to be ten miles away in Ah Q's ears; He could only hear the singing of the piles. He won and won, and the copper coin became the horned ocean, and the horned ocean became the ocean, and the ocean became a stack. He was very elated:
"Two pieces of heaven!"
He didn't know who was fighting with whom and why. The sound of scolding and footsteps, dizzy for a long time, he got up, the gambling stall was gone, the people were gone, there were a few places on his body that seemed to be in pain, and it seemed that he had been punched and kicked a few times, and several people looked at him in surprise. He walked into the Tugu Temple as if he had lost something, and he was sure that he knew that his pile of foreign money was gone. Most of the gambling stalls in the game are not from this village, so where do you go to find your roots?
A very white and shiny pile of foreign money! And it's his—now gone! said that it was taken by his son, but he was still unhappy; Even if he said that he was a worm, he was still unhappy: he felt a little pain of failure this time.
But he immediately turned defeat into victory. He raised his right hand and slapped his face twice in a row, and it hurt a little; When he had finished fighting, he calmed down, as if he had struck himself and had been beaten by someone else, and soon he lay down contented and victorious, as if he had beaten another.
He fell asleep.
Chapter 3 continues the winning narrative
However, although Ah Q often wins, he became famous only after Master Meng Zhao slapped him in the mouth.
He paid 200 yuan for wine, and lay down indignantly, and then thought: "The current world is too unspeakable, and my son beats Lao Tzu ......" Then he suddenly thought of the majesty of Mrs. Zhao, and now it is his son, so he gradually became proud, got up, and sang "The Little Lonely Widow Goes to the Grave" (3) to the hotel. At this time, he felt that Mrs. Zhao was superior to others.
It's strange to say, but since then, everyone seems to respect him extraordinarily. This is in Ah Q, or think that he is the father of Mrs. Zhao, but in fact, it is not. If it is not a general rule, if Ah Qi beats Ah Ba, or Li Si beats Zhang San, it has never been a word of mouth. As soon as it has a good reputation, it will be famous, and the beaten will be famous. As for Ah Q's fault, it is naturally needless to say. So what? Just because Mrs. Zhao can't be wrong. But if he was wrong, why did everyone seem to respect him so much? This is difficult to understand, to put it up, or because Ah Q said that it was Mrs. Zhao's family, although he was beaten, everyone was still afraid of some truth, so it was better to respect some stability. Otherwise, it is also like the Taigao (4) in the Confucian Temple, although they are the same as pigs and sheep, they are both animals, but once they have been ordered by the sages, the Confucians will not dare to act rashly.
Ah Q was proud for many years after that.
One spring, he was walking down the street drunk, and in the sunlight at the base of the wall, he saw Wang Hu there shirtless and catching lice, and he suddenly felt itchy on his body. This Wang Hu is leper and Hu, others call him Wang Leper Hu, but Ah Q deleted a leper word, but he despised him very much. Ah Q's meaning, thinking that leprosy is not surprising, only this one with a beard is too novel to be eye-catching. He sat down side by side. If it were other idlers, Ah Q wouldn't dare to sit down carelessly. But next to this Wang Hu, what is he afraid of? Let's be honest: he's willing to sit down, and he's just lifting him up.
Ah Q also took off his torn jacket and checked it once, I don't know if it was because of the new wash or because of carelessness, and after a lot of work, only three or four were caught. He looked at the Wang Hu, but one after another, two and three, only put it in his mouth and peeled it off.
Ah Q was disappointed at first, but later he was unhappy: there are so many disdainful Wang Hushang, but he is so few, what a big loss of decency! He really wanted to find one or two big ones, but he didn't, and it was easy to catch one, and he stuffed it in his thick lips with hatred, and bit it hard, and it was not as loud as Wang Hu's.
His leprosy scars were red, and he threw his clothes on the ground, spitting on them, and said:
"This caterpillar!"
"Leper dog, who are you scolding?" Wang Hu raised his eyes contemptuously and said.
Although Ah Q has been more respected recently, and he is more arrogant, he is still timid to meet those idlers who are used to fighting, but this time he is very brave. Do such a bearded thing dare to speak out?
"Whoever admits it will scold him!" He stood up, crossed his hands over his waist and said.
"Are your bones itchy?" Wang Hu also stood up, put on his clothes and said.
Ah Q thought he was going to escape, and snatching it in was a punch. Before the fist reached his body, he had already grabbed it, and as soon as he pulled it, Ah Q staggered in, and was immediately twisted by Wang Hu again, and wanted to pull it to the wall to meet his head as usual.
"'A gentleman doesn't move his hands'!" Ah Q tilted his head and said.
Wang Hu didn't seem to be a gentleman, so he didn't pay attention to it, touched him five times in a row, and pushed him hard, as for Ah Q falling more than six feet away, he was satisfied.
In Ah Q's memory, this is about the first humiliation in his life, because Wang Hu has always been ridiculed by him for his shortcomings in his beard, and has never ridiculed him, let alone done it. And he is actually doing it now, very surprised, is it really as the city said, the emperor has stopped the examination (5), don't show talent and lift people, so the Zhao family has reduced his prestige, so they also underestimate him?
Ah Q stood helplessly.
A man came from afar, and his opponent arrived again. This is also the person Ah Q hates the most, that is, Mrs. Qian's eldest son. He had gone to the city to enter the foreign school, but somehow he went to the East again, and half a year later he came home, his legs were straight, his braids were gone, his mother cried more than a dozen times, and his wife jumped into the well three times. Later, his mother went around saying, "This braid was cut off by a bad guy who was drunk with alcohol." I could have been a big official, but now I have to wait for a long time. However, Ah Q refused to believe it, and called him a "fake foreign devil", also known as a "foreigner", and when he saw him, he must have cursed secretly in his stomach.
Ah Q especially "hated and hated" him for one of his fake braids. Braids and fake hair means that you are not qualified to be a human being; His wife doesn't jump into the well for the fourth time, and she's not a good woman.
This "fake foreign devil" has come recently.
Baldness. Donkey ...... "Ah Q has always only scolded in his stomach, and he has never made a sound, but this time because he was angry and angry, because he wanted revenge, he couldn't help but say it softly."
Unexpectedly, the bald man walked over with a yellow-lacquered stick, which was what Ah Q called a mourning stick (6). At this moment, Ah Q knew that he was about to fight, so he quickly tightened his muscles and bones, shrugged his shoulders and waited, and sure enough, the slap seemed to hit him on the head.
"I'm talking about him!" Ah Q pointed to a child nearby and argued.
Clap! Pat at it!
In Ah Q's memory, this is about the second humiliation in his life. Fortunately, after the pat, he seemed to have finished one thing, but felt more relaxed, and the "forgetting" of this ancestral treasure also took effect, he walked slowly, and was about to arrive at the door of the hotel, already a little happy.
But on the other side came the little nun from the ashram. Ah Q is usually in peacetime, and when he sees Yi, he must spit on him, but what about after the humiliation? Then he had a memory, and then there was a hostility.
"I don't know why I'm so bad today, it's because I saw you!" He thought.
He caught up and spat loudly:
"Ahem, phew!"
The little nun ignored all of them, lowered her head and just left. Ah Q approached Yi's side, suddenly stretched out his hand to rub Yixin's shaved scalp, smiled stupidly, and said:
"Bald! Go back, the monk is waiting for you......"
"How do you move your hands and feet......" said the nun, blushing, as she hurried away.
The people in the hotel laughed. When Ah Q saw that his deeds were appreciated, he became more and more elated:
"The monk can move, I can't move?" He twisted Yi's cheek.
The people in the hotel laughed. Ah Q was even more proud, and in order to satisfy those connoisseurs, he twisted it hard before letting go.
In this battle, he has long forgotten Wang Hu and the fake foreign devils, and seems to have taken revenge for all the "bad luck" today; And it's strange, and it seems that the whole body is more relaxed than the sound of the pat, and it seems to be about to fly.
"This Ah Q who has no children and grandchildren!" The crying voice of the little nun could be heard in the distance.
"Hahaha!" Ah Q smiled very proudly.
"Hahaha!" The people in the hotel also smiled proudly.
Chapter 4: The Tragedy of Love
Some people say: Some victors are willing to fight like tigers and eagles, so that they can feel the joy of victory; If he is like a sheep or a chicken, he will find victory boring. There are also some victors, when they have overcome everything, and see that the dead are dead, and the fallen are down, "the ministers are sincerely afraid of the death penalty and the death penalty", so they have no enemies, no opponents, no friends, only themselves, one, alone, desolate, lonely, they feel the sorrow of victory. However, our Ah Q is not so lacking, he is always proud: this may also be a proof that China's spiritual civilization is the best in the world.
Behold, he seems to be about to fly!
However, this victory made him a little different. He flew fluttering for most of the day, drifting into the Tugu Temple, and snoring when he should lie down as usual. Who knew that this night, he would not be able to close his eyes, and he felt that his thumb and second finger were a little strange: as if they were a little smoother than usual. I don't know if it's the little nun's face that sticks to his fingers, or if his fingers are gripped on the little nun's face? ……
"Ah Q who has cut off his children and grandchildren!"
Ah Q heard this sentence in his ears again. He thought: Yes, there should be a woman, and if there is no one to provide a bowl of rice without children and grandchildren,...... There should be a woman. The husband's "unfilial piety is great" (7), and "Ruo Ao's ghost is discouraged" (8) is also a great sorrow in life, so his thoughts are actually in line with the biblical sages, but unfortunately some "can't accept it" (9).
"Woman, woman! ......" he thought.
“…… The monk moved ...... Woman, woman! …… Woman! He thought again.
We don't know when Ah Q snores that night. But since then, he has always felt that his fingers are a little slippery, so he has always been a little fluttery from then on; "Female ......," he thought.
At this end, we can know that women are harmful things.
Most of the men in China could have been sages, but unfortunately they were all ruined by women. Shang is Daji (10) who died; Zhou was broken by Bao Xi; Qin ...... Although there is no clear history, we also assume that he is not necessarily very wrong because of a woman; And Dong Zhuo did kill Diao Chan.
Ah Q was also a righteous person, and although we don't know what Master instructed him to do, he has always been very strict with the "great defense of men and women" (1). It is also very righteous to reject heresies, such as little nuns and fake foreign devils. His doctrine was: any nun must have an affair with a monk; A woman walking outside must want to seduce a wild man; A man and a woman speaking there must be something to do. In order to punish them, he often glared angrily, or said a few words in a loud voice, or threw a small stone from behind in a secluded place.
Who knew that he was about to "stand" (three) year, and he was hurt by the little nun. This fluttering spirit should not be there in rituals, so women are really hateful, if the little nun's face is not slippery, Ah Q will not be Gu, and if the little nun's face is covered with a layer of cloth, Ah Q will not be Gu, - he once twisted a woman's thigh in the crowd under the stage five or six years ago, but because of the layer of trousers, it is not fluttering, and the little nun is not, which also shows the abomination of heresy.
"Female ......," Ah Q thought.
He often looks out for women who think they "must want to seduce wild men", but Yi doesn't smile at him. He also listened attentively to the women he talked to, but Yi didn't say anything about it. Oh, and that's one of the hateful things about women: they all have to pretend to be "hypocritical."
On this day, Ah Q scooped rice for a day at Mrs. Zhao's house, and after dinner, he sat in the kitchen and smoked dry tobacco. If you were in another house, you could have gone back after dinner, but Zhao's house had dinner early, although the law does not allow you to hold the lamp, and you will go to bed as soon as you finish eating, but there are some exceptions occasionally: first, when Uncle Zhao is not in Xiucai, he is allowed to light the lamp and read articles; The second is that when Ah Q comes to do short-term work, he is allowed to light the lamp and cook rice. Because of this regulation, Ah Q sat in the kitchen and smoked before he started to cook rice.
Mother Wu, the only maid in Mrs. Zhao's house, sat down on the bench after washing the dishes, and talked with Ah Q:
"My wife hasn't eaten for two days, because my husband wants to buy a small ......."
"Woman...... Wu Ma...... This little widow ......," Ah Q thought.
"Our young grandmother is going to give birth in August......"
The woman ......," Ah Q thought.
Ah Q put down the pipe and stood up.
"Our young grandmother ......," Wu's mother also nagged.
"I'm sleepy with you, I'm sleepy with you!" Ah Q suddenly grabbed it and knelt down to Yi.
There was silence for a moment.
"Ahh Wu's mother took a breath, suddenly trembled, screamed and ran out, and ran and shouted, as if she was crying later.
Ah Q knelt against the wall and was flustered, so he held the empty bench with both hands and slowly stood up, as if he felt a little bad. He was indeed a little apprehensive at this time, and in a panic, he inserted the cigarette pipe into the belt of his trousers, and wanted to go to the rice. Peng's voice made a very thick blow on his head, he hurriedly turned around, and Xiucai took a big bamboo pole and stood in front of him.
"You're the other way around,...... You ......"
The big bamboo pole slashed down on him again. Ah Q went to hold his head with both hands, and the slap was hitting the knuckles, which was very painful. He rushed out of the kitchen door, as if he had another blow on his back.
"Forget the bastard!" Xiucai scolded in official language in the back.
Ah Q ran into the rice field, standing alone, still feeling a headache, and remembering "forgetting bastards", because this is never used by the countrymen of Weizhuang, but only by the broad people who have seen the government, so they are particularly afraid, and the impression is also very deep. But at this time, his idea of "female ......" was gone. And after the scolding, it seemed that one thing had been stopped, but he felt that there was nothing to worry about, so he started to go to the rice. After a while, he warmed up, and rested his hands to undress again.
When he took off his clothes, he could hear that it was very lively outside, and Ah Q loved to watch the excitement the most in his life, so he went out in search of sound. Xun Sheng gradually found the inner courtyard of Mrs. Zhao, although it was in the dusk, many people could be distinguished, the Zhao family even included the wife who didn't eat for two days, and the seventh sister-in-law of Zou in the wall, Zhao Baiyan of the real family, Zhao Sichen.
The young grandmother was dragging Mother Wu out of the lower room, and said:
"You come outside,...... Don't hide in your room and think about ......"
"Who doesn't know you're serious,...... Short-sightedness is never to be found. Zou Qi's sister-in-law also said from the side.
Wu's mother just cried and said something, but she didn't hear it clearly.
Ah Q thought, "Hmph, interesting, this little orphan widow doesn't know what to do?" He wanted to inquire and approached Zhao Sichen's side. At this time, he suddenly saw Uncle Zhao running towards him, and he was holding a big bamboo pole in his hand. When he saw this big bamboo pole, he suddenly realized that he had been beaten, and it seemed to have something to do with this excitement. He turned over and left, wanting to escape back to the rice field, but he didn't want this bamboo pole to block his way, so he turned over and left, and naturally walked out of the back door.
Ah Q sat for a while, his skin was a little millow, and he felt cold, because although it was spring, and the night was quite cold, it was not suitable to be shirtless. He also remembered that the cloth shirt was left in the Zhao family, but if he went to get it, he was afraid of Xiucai's bamboo pole. However, the ground protector came in.
"Ah Q, your mother's! You even teased the Zhao family's employees, it's a rebellion. I didn't sleep at night, your mother! ……”
If Yunyun taught a lesson, Ah Q naturally had no words. At the end of the day, because in the evening, the land insurance should be sent to double the wine money of 400 Wen, Q Zheng had no cash, so he used a felt hat as collateral, and set five conditions:
One day tomorrow, use a pair of red candles -- a pound of weight -- a pair of incense, and go to Zhao's mansion to make amends.
The second Zhao Mansion asked the Taoist priest to eliminate the hanged ghosts, and the cost was borne by Ah Q.
San'a Q was not allowed to step on the threshold of the Zhao Mansion from now on.
Fourth, if there is an accident in the future, Ah Q is the only one who asks.
Wu Ah Q is not allowed to ask for wages and shirts again.
Ah Q naturally agreed, but unfortunately there was no money. Fortunately, it was already spring, and the quilt could be useless, so he pledged two thousand dollars to fulfill the treaty. After kowtowing shirtless, there were still a few pennies left, and he no longer redeemed his felt hat, and drank all of them. But the Zhao family doesn't burn incense and light candles, because the wife can use it when she worships the Buddha and keep it. Most of the rags were made into the diapers of the children born in August by the young grandmother, and the small and half tattered ones were made into the soles of Wu's mother's shoes.
Chapter 5 Livelihood Issues
After Ah Q finished the ceremony, he still returned to the Tugu Temple, and the sun went down, and he gradually felt that there was something strange in the world. He thought about it carefully, and finally realized that the reason for this was his own shirtlessness. He remembered that the torn jacket was still there, so he put it on his body, lay down, and when he opened his eyes, the sun was already shining on the west wall again. He sat up and said, "Mother's ......."
After he got up, he still walked the streets, although it was not as painful as being shirtless, but he gradually felt that there was something strange in the world. It seems that from this day on, the women of Weizhuang suddenly became afraid, and as soon as they saw Ah Q coming, they hid in the door one by one. Even as for Zou Qi's sister-in-law, who is nearly fifty years old, she also followed others and called all the eleventh daughters in. Ah Q was very surprised, and thought, "These things suddenly learn to look like a young lady." This prostitute ......"
But he felt that there was something strange in the world, but it was many days later. First, the hotel refuses to take credit; Second, the old man in charge of the Tugu Temple said some nonsense, and seemed to tell him to leave; Third, although he could not remember how many days, there were many days, and no one came to him for a day job. The hotel is not credited, and it is okay to stay up; The old man urged him to go, and Lu Su was just a pass; It's just that no one came to ask him to do a day job, but it made Ah Q hungry: this is really a very "motherly" thing.
Ah Q couldn't bear it any longer, so he had to go to the old patron's house to inquire,--but he was not allowed to step on the threshold of the Zhao Mansion,--but the situation was also different: a man must have come out, and he looked very annoyed, and shook his hand like a beggar:
"No, no! You get out! ”
Ah Q felt more and more surprised. He thought, these people have always had to help, so if they don't suddenly have nothing to do now, there should be something strange in it. He inquired carefully, and found out that they all went to call Little Don (four) if they had something. This little D is a poor boy, thin and tired, in Ah Q's eyes, the position is under Wang Hu, who would have expected this kid to find his job. So Ah Q's anger was even more different from usual, and when he walked angrily, he suddenly raised his hand and sang:
"I'll beat you with a steel whip! (5) ......"
A few days later, he actually met Xiao D in front of the wall of the Qian Mansion. "The enemy is very clear when he sees each other", Ah Q greeted him, and Xiao D also stopped.
"Brute!" Ah Q said angrily, spit flying from the corners of his mouth.
"I'm a worm, okay? ......," said Little D.
This humility made Ah Q even more angry, but he didn't have a steel whip in his hand, so he had to pounce on it and reach out to pull Little D's braids. Little D protected his braids with one hand, and pulled out Ah Q's braids with the other, and Ah Q also protected his braids with his free hand. From the previous Ah Q's point of view, Xiao D was originally less than a few teeth, but he has been hungry recently, and he is no less thin and tired than Xiao D, so it has become an evenly matched phenomenon, with four hands pulling out two heads, both bending over, and a blue rainbow shape is reflected on the pink wall of the Qian family, as for half an o'clock.
"Alright, alright!" The people who watched said that it was about persuasion.
"Good, good!" People who watched said that they didn't know whether it was persuasion, praise, or incitement.
But they didn't listen. Ah Q took three steps, and Little D took three steps back, all standing; Little D took three steps, and Ah Q took three steps back, and they all stood again. About half an o'clock, -- Wei Zhuang rarely chimes the bell, so it is difficult to say, or twenty o'clock, -- their hair was smoking, and their foreheads were sweating, and Ah Q's hand relaxed, and at the same moment, Little D's hand was also relaxed, and at the same time straightened up, and at the same time retreated, and they all squeezed out of the crowd.
"Remember, Mommy's ......," Q said, looking back.
"Mom, just remember it......," Little D also turned around and said.
This "dragon and tiger fight" didn't seem to be won or lost, and I didn't know if the people watching it were satisfied, so I didn't make any comments, but Ah Q still had no one to ask him to do a short job.
One day was very mild, and the breeze was quite summery, but Ah Q felt cold, but this was okay, the first was to be hungry. Quilts, felt hats, and cloth shirts are long gone, followed by cotton jackets; Now I have trousers, but I can't take them off; There was a torn jacket, and in addition to giving it away to make soles, it was decided that it could not be sold for money. He had long wanted to find a sum of money on the road, but he had not seen it yet; He wanted to suddenly find a sum of money in his dilapidated house, and looked around in a panic, but the house was empty and clear. So he decided to go out and beg for food.
He was walking on the road to "beg for food", and he saw familiar hotels and familiar steamed buns, but he walked by, not only did he not pause, but he didn't want them. That's not what he's asking for; What he was asking for, he didn't know.
Weizhuang was not a big village or town, and it was gone in a short time. Outside the village, there are mostly paddy fields, full of the tender green of new seedlings, and there are a few round black spots that move, and they are farmers who plough the fields. Ah Q didn't appreciate this Tian Jiale, but just left, because he intuitively knew that this was very far from his way of "seeking food". But he finally walked outside the walls of the ashram.
The hermitage is also surrounded by paddy fields, with pink walls protruding from the new greenery, and a vegetable garden in the low earthen wall behind it. Ah Q hesitated for a moment, and when he looked around, there was no one. He climbed up the low wall and pulled at the He Shou Wu Teng, but the earth was still falling off, and Ah Q's feet were shaking; Finally, I climbed the mulberry branch and jumped inside. It's really lush inside, but it doesn't seem to be like rice wine steamed buns, and there are other edible things. Leaning against the west wall is a bamboo bush, and there are many bamboo shoots below, but unfortunately they are not cooked, and there are rape early menstrual fruits, mustard greens are about to bloom, and the cabbage is also very old.
Ah Q felt very wronged as if the literary boy had fallen behind, he slowly approached the garden gate, and suddenly was very surprised, this was clearly an old radish clump. He then crouched down and pulled it out, and suddenly a very round head protruded from the doorway, and it was immediately retracted, which was clearly a little nun. The little nuns and the like were originally regarded by Ah Q as a mustard, but the world had to "take a step back and think", so he quickly picked up four radishes, unscrewed off the green leaves, and put them in the placket. However, the old nun has come out.
"Amitabha, Ah Q, why did you jump into the garden and steal turnips! …… Ahh ……”
"When will I jump into your garden and steal turnips?" Ah Q said as he looked and walked.
"Now...... Isn't it? The old nun pointed to his coat pocket.
"This is yours? Can you get him to say yes to you? You ......"
Ah Q didn't finish speaking, he took a step and ran; It was a very fat black dog that was chasing. This was originally at the front door, but somehow it came to the back garden. The black dog snorted and chased, and was already about to bite Ah Q's leg, but fortunately a radish fell from his coat pocket, and the dog was frightened, and stopped slightly, Ah Q had already climbed up the mulberry tree, stepped over the earthen wall, and even the people and radishes rolled out of the wall. Only the black dog was still howling at the mulberry tree, and the old nun was chanting the Buddha.
Ah Q was afraid that the nun would release the black dog again, so he picked up the radish and left, picking up a few small stones along the way, but the black dog did not reappear. Ah Q threw the stones, ate as he walked, and thought that there was nothing to find here, so it was better to go into the city......
By the time the three turnips were finished, he had already made up his mind to go into the city. (To be continued.)
