Chapter 148: February Two Dragons Raise Their Heads (Asking for Flowers)
Zhang Taiping is not worried about the scar man's revenge or anything like that, he believes that a phone call from Xingrushui can allow him to stay in it for decades.
Although the old man is an authentic old Chinese medicine doctor, he can still hold a knife for simple Western medicine, and quickly open a knife for Ah Huang to take out the iron sand of the projectiles inside. The self-made shotguns in the early years in the mountains were shot out of a steel ball and a handful of iron sand, which killed a large area and hit a large area on the animal. This gun is most effective for hunting pheasants in the mountains, and when you find a pheasant nest and shout, you can shoot several of them down with a single shot in the air. Now a large area of the hind legs on Ah Huang's body has exploded, the flesh and blood are blurred, and if it is not treated in time, it is easy to become inflamed in the body, and the disease tetanus does not only occur in people.
After taking out the steel beads and iron sand in Ah Huang's body, the old man gave it some Chinese herbs that he synthesized and then bandaged it. Not only his legs, but also his lower back, so he couldn't move freely, so Zhang Taiping carried it to the front room and put it in the middle hall.
There was still a period of time before dawn, everyone else was asleep, Cai Yazhi came out and asked Zhang Taiping to go in and rest for a while, she didn't dare to close her eyes all night, and as soon as her spirit relaxed at this time, her eyelids began to fight.
Zhang Taiping said: "You go back to sleep first, and I'll keep watch for a while." ”
Cai Yazhi was really haggard tonight, and she fell asleep not long after entering the house, Zhang Taiping went in to tuck the quilt corner for her and gently closed the door. When he came to Ah Huang's side, he took Ah Huang into the space as soon as his mind moved, without any sense of slackness, it seems that Ah Huang is truly loyal to himself and trusts himself unreservedly.
Zhang Taiping also followed into the space. It was the first time for Ah Huang to enter this magical space, and he twisted his head around in surprise and curiosity, and was relieved to see Zhang Taiping come in.
Zhang Taiping brought it in to let it recover a little quickly. Unwrapped the gauze wrapped around his body, Zhang Taiping took out the hemostatic and hard injury medicine he had configured and applied it to Ah Huang. The main ingredient of his medicine is a horseskin bag picked in the mountains, and the main treatment is hard wounds, not that his medicine is better than the old man's, but when he configures this medicine, he uses space spring water, which has a peculiar effect and can make the wound recover much faster.
There is a cool feeling after the medicine is up, Ah Huang, a guy who has no interest, hummed comfortably, there is a magical effect in the space, which can make the animal's injuries no longer worsen, and it also has the effect of speeding up the recovery. Feeding it some more space spring water, this guy is now smart, can feel the great benefits of this spring water, and drink it happily, a little more positive than eating meat.
I didn't dare to let its injuries be completely healed inside, and I sent it out when it was half better. Zhang Taiping himself also came out.
For Zhang Taiping, even if he didn't rest for several days, he didn't have a night's rest, and he was still in good spirits the next morning. After boxing and practicing her feet, after breakfast, Fan Ming pulled Zhang Taiping and asked him to tell him the whole process of catching the thief last night, she slept to death last night, Xing Rushui did not wake her up, and the thunderous shouting outside the door did not wake her up, and she did not see the wonderful whole process of catching the thief, and she was annoyed at this time.
Zhang Taiping was pestered by her, so he couldn't help it, so he took a chair and sat on the edge of the pond, basking in the sun, lazily picking up some rough words, and there was a group of girls and boys who loved to listen to this kind of story.
On the second of February, the dragon raises its head!
Legend has it that in ancient times, there was no rain in the Guanzhong area for a long time, and the Jade Emperor ordered the East China Sea dragon to sow rain. The little dragon was playful, and he went headlong into the river and never came out. There was a young man who went to the cliff and collected "descending dragon water" to muddy the river. The little dragon came out of the river to fight the young man, and the little dragon was defeated, so he had to sow rain. In fact, the so-called "dragon raising its head" refers to the fact that after hibernation, the insects begin to wake up. So as the saying goes, "On the second day of February, the dragon raises its head, and scorpions and centipedes show their heads." ”
Ming Yu Yizheng and Liu Tong "Dijing Jingwulu" Volume 2, the spring field recorded: "On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head, fried the remaining cakes of the New Year's Day sacrifice, smoked the bed kang, and smoked the insects. "The dragon has a very high status in the hearts of the Chinese, and in ancient times it was believed that the dragon was the symbol of the Son of Heaven, an auspicious object, and the master of the weathered rain. Therefore, the proverb "on the second day of February, the dragon raises its head" indicates that spring is coming, and everything recovers. The dragon begins to move, indicating that the year's agricultural activities are about to begin.
In the previous society, due to the existence of the dragon as an authority, people attached great importance to the second day of February, and there must be large-scale and cumbersome sacrifices on this festival. However, in this era, the imperial power has retreated, and people know where the wind and rain come from, and they have seen the process of artificial rainfall, so the dragon is now just an auspicious symbol in people's minds, not the master of wind and rain, and some sacrificial activities that consume materials have gradually disappeared.
The big events are gone, but some of the smaller customs remain.
For example, you can't burn a dry pot during the whole New Year, which means you can't burn a pot helmet or spread pancakes. Only on the second day of February can two cauldron helmets be branded to make up for the heavens and the earth. And during this time, you can't shave your head, and it is only on February 2 that you shave your head when the dragon raises its head, and it will be a year after that. Safe.
In some places, the ashes of the stove are sprinkled into large circles in the yard, and the grains are placed in the middle, which is called "hoarding" or "filling the warehouse". It means to wish a bumper harvest of grains and a full stockpile.
This is the case in the Guanzhong region. When she got up early in the morning, Cai Yazhi drew a big circle in the yard and put some of the whole grains, fruits, and vegetables she could think of in the house. Then two cauldron helmets were branded, one for heaven and earth and the other for his own food.
I only made some "prayer beans" and put them in each cabinet, this is when the dragon raises its head, everything recovers, all kinds of small animals come out to move, and the hamsters at home are no exception, even if you put these things in an agreement with the hamster, don't bite other things indiscriminately. Hamsters are very common in the countryside, but there are really not many in Zhang Taiping's family, one is that Xiaojin is the natural enemy of these hamsters after moving in, and another little squirrel is the big brother here, no one dares to approach, and there are two nosy lords in the house, Ah Huang and Lion, so the hamsters in the family are almost extinct, and they have been transferred to other people's homes.
Originally, I was going to shave my head on this day, but there were either women and girls in the family or old man Zhang Taiping, who she couldn't control, so she didn't have this activity, but she combed the braids on Yaya's head when she was done with her busy work in the morning. The hair on the top of her head and above her ears was tied up with flowers behind her head, and the little girl looked very smart.
After breakfast, Yaya ran out to play, Zhang Taiping was following her, and the lion was now Yaya's bodyguard. After a while, the little girl came back again, with buds and beans in her pocket. climbed onto Zhang Taiping's legs, and there were a few white beans in his little hands, the meaning was self-evident.
Zhang Taiping pinched one and put it in his mouth, the taste was not bad, the rosin was crisp, and there was a sweet taste. He stood up and said, "Let's get popcorn." The little girl immediately followed happily, although the aunts and sisters she met put some beans in her pockets, but what other people have is completely different from their own, so she asked her father to give her own home.
Entering the house, Cai Yazhi scooped two bowls of rice, and then scooped half a pot of good corn kernels. Most of the people in the village use corn to beat flowers, and rarely use rice. The rice is small and the rice is expensive, but the corn is different, every household has it, and the flowers that burst out are big and have heads. The ones sold in the city stores are filled with milk or something, which tastes sweet and delicious, and is a must-have snack for young couples to watch movies.
Fan Ming heard that she was going to make popcorn, of course she was going to join, and Zhang Taiping asked her to take a SLR to film the next situation.
Popcorn vendors don't go into this kind of small village, and they can't go to this small village just to carry a set of heavy tools, so they have to go outside to the big village of Fengyukou to make popcorn.
Zhang Taiping rode a motorcycle, Yaya sat in the middle with Zhang Taiping, Fan Ming hugged Yaya at the end and grabbed Zhang Taiping's clothes, Xing Rushui did not follow anymore, Zhang Taiping was in her and she could be completely assured of Fan Ming's safety.
The popcorn stall was parked at an intersection, and there was already a long line next to it, mostly half-grown boys. Holding a pot of corn kernels in one hand and firewood in the other.
Zhang Taiping realized that few people in the village use carbon, and they bring their own firewood for popcorn. Zhang Taiping patted his head and was about to explain to Fan Ming and Yaya that he would ride a motorcycle back to get it, when a man saw his difficulty and came up and said.
"Didn't the big handsome fight firewood? I've got it, let the boy fetch some for you. As he spoke, he shouted behind him, and a half-grown boy walked away.
Then the middle-aged man handed over a cigarette, Zhang Taiping took it and looked at the cheapest monkey king, and he was not polite, so he swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog with this man.
This man is from Fengyukou Village, and Zhang Taiping doesn't know him. But his Zhang Dashuai's name is very strong in this area, it was very loud before, plus a small thing in the countryside can be spread far and wide, and the incident a few nights ago has spread in several nearby villages, so everyone knows Zhang Taiping's toughness, and it is normal to come up and send a cigarette to talk.
