Returning, there is no wind and rain and no sunshine (4)
Most of the people in the town have never gone out in their lives.
Men plough the fields, women weave, and when they reach the age, they find a young man from the same village or a neighboring village to marry, and they will be born from generation to generation.
There are several roads between the villages, and the only way out of the town is an old stone bridge, and there are no guardrails on both sides of the bridge, or it may have been there at all, and it has been in disrepair for too long and disappeared.
Perhaps it was really because it was in disrepair, and the mayor proposed to gather a group of people to survey the bridge, and planned to rebuild it, which was also counted as a big thing he did before he retired from office, and this heroic deed will be recorded on the merit monument next to the bridge in the future.
However, if it is renovated, everyone will not be able to leave the town for a while, in fact, it is not a big problem, not many people will need to go out.
On the day of the survey, the second boy and I also went to see the lively group together.
I heard that there were a few experienced bridge builders who went, and there were also big people who paid money to show their face, and there were also fortune tellers in charge of divination who calculated good days, and the private school in the town was also invited to go.
This is the biggest event in the town this year, and the streets are noisy. I stood on tiptoe and took a look, and I could barely see the protagonists by the bridge through the people on the inner and outer three floors.
While everyone was arguing and chatting, the mayor waved his hand to silence everyone, "Everyone, I'll announce the details of rebuilding the Anle Bridge!" The mayor's words were so majestic that everyone fell silent.
"This bridge must not be torn down and rebuilt." A deep and firm voice sounded, the scholarly appearance of the man's lupine scarf, it should be Mr. Private School.
"Oh? I'd like to see what you have to say! "A rich gentleman said proudly with a big belly, the merit monument is engraved with his name, how can he say that if he doesn't repair it, he won't repair it!
"This bridge has not fallen for a hundred years, because under its bridge, it is based on thousands of spiritual snakes, and it has become one with the bridge for a hundred years. If the bridge is built rashly and disturbs the snake, I am afraid that no matter how the bridge is built, it will eventually capsize. The scholar said in a clear tone, and then fell silent.
There was an uproar.
"What? Got a snake? Did you go to the river and see it? I've just finished surveying and there's nothing wrong with that. If you can go under the bridge and get me a few snakes now, I won't fix it!" The bridge repairers who surveyed were also puzzled.
However, if it violates Feng Shui or other inappropriate things, everyone will inevitably have lingering palpitations and still have a lot of discussions.
I squeezed through the crowd and made my first appearance,
"Sir has read poetry and books and has seen a lot, and since he has said so, there must be a reason for him. Now there is only one road out of the village in the town, so why don't we use the money to build another bridge out of the village, and this bridge is too old to be rebuilt, it will be difficult to be strong! ”
I shouted at the top of my voice.
"yes, let's build another bridge!" The second boy was also busy echoing.
But after all, people are soft-spoken, and the matter of building the bridge is only temporarily shelved.
Speaking of which, why should I help that private school gentleman, maybe it's because of his mysterious temperament, which can attract ignorant girls like me!
A few days later, I went to the street to drink and buy rice, and I happened to see him again.
Walking into the liquor store, "Shopkeeper, fill this pot of wine." ”
Walking into the rice shop, "The shopkeeper, fill this pot of rice." ”
I haven't noticed anything wrong yet.
"Fill her with two catties of rice." The private school teacher has come to my side to correct me.
"Looks like you're going to have to learn how to speak." There was a rare smile in the corner of his eye.
Only then did I realize that I had made a slip of the tongue and stuck out my tongue in embarrassment.
"I don't want to provoke a tongue for no reason, so you are not allowed to enter the study." He said this and left.
Since then, I have followed the second boy to the private school together, but I can only eavesdrop through the back door, and I am not free when the farm is busy, and finally I can barely know some ancient characters.
Mr. teaching is extremely strict, the poor family scholars usually work as handymen in class, and the rich people sit below with respectful faces. I don't dare to make trouble.
There was a juggling troupe on the street that roamed around for a living, and I also admired the street to see the scenery, which was kind of to have fun in the ordinary days.
