This person is one of the protagonists of this article: the old eight roads.

His surname is Qi, but the specific name no one knows, his parents died early, wandering outside for many years, people only remember that there was such a person since childhood, when he came back, I saw him solemnly kowtow in front of his house and bow three times, Yang Tian cried for three days and three nights, reorganized the home, and began to live in this village silently!

At that time, the people, in addition to the cultivation and labor in the fields, had nothing else to do in their spare time, the parents were short, hearsay, ancient and modern anecdotes, people who had read some books, and told some wild history anecdotes, which became the spiritual pillar of the hundred families after tea and dinner, and in this radius of a hundred miles, generations have lived an unchanged farm life! ……

Since the appearance of this person, the arrival of a seemingly inconspicuous young man, an unknown man all day long, outside the village, within a radius of hundreds of miles, has been reported explosive news from time to time!

For example, if you have a bully in a place who has been killed, who has no way to live, you open the door and look down to find money and rice and noodles, etc. These things are all things that have been heard in the legends after dinner, but have never appeared in real life; These strange things that are praised are not suitable for real life; It is only in stories, but it is rarely seen in life! But recently, a series of strange things have indeed appeared around me, and the world is talking about it after dinner, depicting it vividly!

Then there was a person's name in the market: Eighth Master!

One by one, one by one, the anecdotes of killing bullies and saving the suffering in the fire and water, continue to spread in the streets, and the peasant family who is hundreds of miles away from the local place is depicted as strange as a fairy, a legendary image of a hero in the green forest, which is constantly passed on by word of mouth by the world, and is unusual: a big man of one meter seven or eight, stout and sturdy, thick eyebrows and big eyes, taciturn, laughing first and then talking when he sees people, alone, alone; No one can call him by name, but he does exist; The right number was seated, but no one had seen his heroic deeds with their own eyes; Whether it is really him or fake, no one can tell, and the most people are only suspicious: just him? Is it possible? Three sticks can't knock out a fart, the ghost believes it!

If you have a good deed, you should tell him a kiss and ask him, is it okay? He just said "um" and said no more! And this woman is also a person who can't knock out a fart with three sticks of the same kind as him, she talks a lot of family things, swears to die, and her family is helpless, asking her who she wants to marry? Woman refers to a lonely person!

The world does not recall the story of the two people, childhood, but, the hearts of the two childhood sweethearts who have no guesses, after a long period of vicissitudes, finally let these two people who love each other come together!

After a few years, people say, this guy is so strong! One shot at a time, each accurate, all at once out of a man, the names are loud: stones, grinders, steel bullets!

In the meantime he was again gone; Later, he came back, and he returned to his hometown with honor!

The world gave him another resounding name: Old Eight Roads!

As soon as you speak, the whole country is liberated! As he spoke, he brought about the beginning of this story!

This year is really strange, from the beginning of spring to the autumn has not rained, the North China Plain with four distinct seasons, the farmers who rely on the sky to eat, there is no rain to moisten, let alone avoid the heat, even the dealer can not raise seeds, without the dealer, the farmer who is worried about eating and drinking is even more suffering! There is only one thing that people look forward to every day: when will they be able to wait for a timely rain? The parched land, the grass does not grow, and the people who are unbearably hot need a timely rain, and looking forward to the arrival of the rain has become a major event for people to pray for good weather in the coming year!

The two daughters-in-law of the old Balu family, the eldest stone and the daughter-in-law of the second mill, have been pregnant for more than ten months, and their stomachs have long been old, but there is no movement! Lao Balu lives with the boss stone. Lao Balu smoked a big cigarette pouch all day long, glancing at his daughter-in-law's stomach from time to time, and his son Shi also stared at his daughter-in-law's stomach from time to time, and his wife was even more anxious! It looks like it's the end of September, and the sultry weather still hasn't dissipated. If everything doesn't go well, everything doesn't go well, everything is a big thing, the sky doesn't rain, the grain doesn't be harvested, the baby is conceived in October, the cub is not born, what is not coming, what is anxious, what is in a hurry, the weather is not smooth, and people suffer!

The Shi family lives in the east of the village, and the Nian Zi family lives in the west of the village. The daughter-in-law of the mill is also more than ten months pregnant, and there is no movement in the same way, the two brothers are consumed together, your family is not in a hurry, and I am not in a hurry, see who is calm!

On this day, the mill had nothing to do and came to the stone house to explore the wind and say, what is it? Still not moving?

Shi sighed deeply and said, isn't it, the abductor's ass is evil, God makes trouble, and she won't fight for you! As soon as he finished speaking, the stone turned around and said, Huh? Don't just talk about me, isn't there no movement in your house? Show off what you!

The mill laughed twice and said, wait, wait for this god if it rains, and the child will come out! ……

It is said that there is a big thing today, there is an old eight roads to take the lead, invited a feng shui gentleman, the common people believe in superstition, for feng shui is not smooth, everyone wants to ask for peace, if this day is smooth, the days will be smooth!

This feng shui gentleman walked around the village for a long time, from the east of the village to the west of the village, he looked very carefully, he stopped in the west again, looked at the mountains in the distance in the west, he stroked his beard and said unhurriedly, I found the reason, it doesn't rain on this day, the wind doesn't adjust the rain, the main reason is on these two stone tablets, these two souls have not been separated for a hundred years, can not be buried together, it is difficult to become the will of heaven! If the sky is good, the people will be good! If they are buried together today, there will be a happy event on earth!

After that, Lao Balu hurriedly asked everyone to dig a pit according to the instructions that Mr. said.

The pit is dug well, and the general's stele is arranged in the west, west high, and east low, and then the princess stele is placed side by side. Everything is ready, Lao Balu told everyone, everyone is ready to fill in the soil!

It was at this time, that is, when the first spade fell into the pit, that three major events happened! The first major event was a national event: the founding of the People's Republic of China! The second major event was that a baby's cry came from a house in the east of the village! It was at this moment that the third major event happened, when the wind suddenly blew and the rain poured down!

It all came very suddenly, and people were stunned, and they didn't even realize what was going on for a while!

Instantly, the people cheered! People are shouting, it's raining, it's raining, it's raining, it's raining! Suddenly, there is a boiling outside the village, and the sound is connected, and you will suddenly realize that at this moment, there are happy crowds everywhere, and people who have been silent for a long time suddenly go crazy in a place where you don't know what to do!

Lao Balu kicked the stone next to him and said, don't you hurry home and take a look! The stone was stunned, and then ran home like crazy! The people behind also suddenly realized something, and they also ran to the east of the village with the stones like crazy!

The stone ran home to see that it was really his daughter-in-law who gave birth! The room is full of people, congratulations to you, Shishi, is a daughter, her birth has brought us the gospel, it is the timely rain she brought to us, it is our great savior, this child will definitely not be wrong in the future, not an idle person, maybe it is still a fairy to go down to earth! ……

At this time, the courtyard was crowded with people outside the gate, and everyone wanted to see the dignity of this child, and everyone realized that the birth of this child was by no means as simple as Tian Ding's import! The child kept crying, and the rain outside kept pouring down; At the same time, people also realize that as long as the child cries, the rain will not stop, and the rain is almost over, and the child keeps crying, which is not a thing!

At this time, the mill shouted in the crowd, "Give the child a good name," and everyone echoed and said, yes, yes, this child needs a good name. The stone came out of the house, he arched his hand to everyone and said, Xie Lu, thank you, isn't it just a child, we farmers don't want to be rich and expensive, just want peace and security, the more rustic the name, the better to feed, you look at our croppers, who is not a "tile pot", "jar", "kolara" and "yam eggs", you see the name of our third brother, isn't it all rustic, stones, mills, steel bullets, Ha Lu Ha, both kind and easy to remember, how good! She is a girl, she was born in the rain, let's call Xiaoyu! As soon as everyone heard a cheer, good, good, this name has commemorative significance, as long as it rains, you can think of her, the rain is nectar, it is holy, noble! ……

At this time, I don't know who in the crowd shouted, "Grinder, you are happy that your sister-in-law has a child, your wife should have given birth a long time ago, why hasn't there been any movement yet?!"

The mill said, who the knows that this stupid woman is so anxious, shouting about stomach pain all day long, crying in pain, but she just doesn't give birth. Look at my sister-in-law, people have never complained of pain, they said that they were born! Our family's mouth is good, I want to eat noodles, I cry out in pain, so I give her noodles every day, she doesn't shout after eating noodles, I wonder if she is pretending to be stupid, just a little fine grain, I am reluctant to eat a little, she is good, she is almost gone.

Hearing what the mill said, those girls all laughed. You know a fart, you are a woman, you only know what it feels like to have a child, you men know how happy you are, how do you know how tired a woman is! Eat, drink, drink, and feel wronged, even if your family is poor, it's not a contribution to your family! Look at you big guys!

Everyone, if you say a word to me, you can't stop the car, and you can't theorize. He was anxious and said, I recruited you to provoke you, you old ladies ate me!

Eat you? We're still too hungry to eat you, hahaha......

Just when people were laughing and scolding, they suddenly heard a baby's cry again. The voice came from the west, and it was very loud! At the moment when the baby cried, the rain stopped, and at the moment when the baby cried, the baby girl of the stone family stopped crying, and the sky was sunny and cloudless! ……

People were stunned! In one day, two strange events occurred in the village. The birth of a baby girl was expected to come to the long-lost timely rain, which not only solved the drought, eliminated the hot weather and moisture, but also gave birth to the cry of a baby boy, which made the non-stop rain suddenly stop. Just now, people were still worried that if the drought was eliminated and then there would be floods, this situation would not be able to pass. It's good now, all the problems have been solved, but people can't figure it out, this is what happened, what did the birth of these two children bring to people? This is too bizarre, too incredible! ……

Everyone present was quietly listening to the sound of the baby boy crying.

At this time, someone said, why are you still stunned, why don't you hurry home and see if your mother-in-law gave birth. When I heard this, I suddenly realized, and slapped my mother! Scatter your legs and run all the way west! At this time, people also chased after the mill! ……
