The red-clothed cave master's feet are on the two pedals of the loom, and his left hand holds the machine (rope cavity) tightly; Press the thumb of the right hand on the inside of the shuttle a little upward; The middle and ring fingers are placed under the outside of the shuttle with a slight force, while the middle finger is pressed against the outside of the shuttle to pass the shuttle through the intersecting warp threads.

After the red-clothed cave master's right hand made the above posture and interspersed the shuttle, his right hand quickly changed to the machine and held it down and pulled it back; The left hand has already caught the shuttle that has passed through on that side.

After catching the shuttle with the left hand, it is still interspersed with the right side, and the feet cooperate with the pedal to step down; The two coils alternate one after the other.

As the thread moves up and down, the scissor shape formed by the warp is revealed very loosely, and the shuttle shuttles freely like a fish on the waves.

The natural sound of "clang-clang-clan" resounded with the pull of the machine, and Liu Min couldn't help it; It's almost a "whirlwind dance".

Liu Min heard the "clang" sound of his grandmother pushing the machine in later generations, and he could hear this long-lost nature when he traveled to another world; And the one who drives the machine is his own mother - although Liu Min is not sure that the red-clothed cave master is his own mother at the moment, but Grandpa Huo said that she is; And judging from what happened after Liu Min was swept up in a whirlwind on the way to Xuanji Cave, there is no doubt that the owner of Xuanji Cave is Liu Min's mother.

Whether it is the human world, the fairy world, or the god world in heaven and earth, only parents can put so much effort into their children, is there anything else to doubt about Liu Min?

Liu Min heard her mother tell her in later life that the money for her two uncles to go to college was compiled by her grandmother regardless of the "clanging" sound of day and night.

At that time, Huaxia was still very poor, and the homespun cloth woven by my grandmother with the sound of "clang" was sold to Japan and South Korea.

A non-governmental organization in Japan was shocked by my grandmother's colorful soil flower cloth and invited my grandmother to Japan to give lectures; Grandma smiled and said, "I'm an illiterate country woman who hasn't even been to a county seat in China, so how can I go to Japan to give lectures?" Spare the old woman! ”

Grandma refused the invitation of a Japanese non-governmental organization, and Liu Min regretted it; But after he crossed the Song Dynasty, he actually saw the master of the Hongyi Cave teaching brocade weaving skills in the Xuanji Cave, which is really ten miles and a hole in the sky, and a river in a hundred miles is much the same.

The master of the red-clothed cave smoothly switched between the two hands on the left and right, and a shuttle magically shuttled left and right in the scissors of the warp.

The beautiful movements reminded Liu Min of the popular song "Golden Suo and Silver Suo" in the 80s of the 20th century:

The sun is like a golden shuttle

The moon is like a silver shuttle

Give it to you and leave it to me

See who weaves the most beautiful life

Ahh

The golden shuttle and the silver shuttle shuttle are shuttling day and night

Time is like flowing water, urging you and me

Young people, don't waste it

Cherish today's good days and months

Come, come

Come, come

……

The shuttles are interspersed with the threads densely packed together under the pressure of the machine, and the rhythmic sound of "clang" echoes in the Yin and Yang Taiji Square.

The sound of a very musical machine shook Liu Min's heart, and Liu Min stared intoxicated; The red-clothed cave master had quietly left at some point.

Grandpa Huo rushed to Liu Min's side, and saw Liu Min standing there stunned and had no owner; Then he shouted three times with "hey, hey, hey": "Minzi, grandpa can see clearly, the master of Xuanji Cave is your mother!" It can be judged from the movements and moods of her brocade weaving! ”

Grandpa Huo said and took a deep breath and said impassionedly: "Your mother was like this when she taught spinning and weaving techniques in the cypress forest that year, and her actions in the Yin Yang Taiji Square just now were no different from those in the cypress forest!" ”

As soon as Grandpa Huo shouted like this, Liu Min came back to his senses; Seeing that the red-clothed cave master had already left, he grabbed the hand of the fire grandfather and said excitedly: "Grandpa, you said that the Xuanji cave master is my mother!" ”

"Yes! She's your mother! Grandpa Huo said undeniably: "Although Lao Huo is old, his eye sockets are very bright, and he just stood beside your mother and watched her for an hour or two; It's true that she's your mother! ”

Liu Min listened to Grandpa Huo's serious speech, and suddenly became confused, staring at him reluctantly and said, "Since it's my mother, why don't you recognize Minzi!" ”

Grandpa Huo heard Liu Min ask this, his eyes widened, and his mouth said, "This ...... This ......"

Liu Min saw that Grandpa Huo was speechless, and said to himself: "How can Grandpa Minzi know if my mother recognizes Minzi Huo?" Aren't Toshiko and Niang the two worlds of yin and yang? ”

Liu Min said the sentence "Yin and Yang Two Realms" and immediately corrected: "No! Since Toshiko and Niang Yin and Yang are in the two worlds, they can't see each other's figures clearly; But Minzi clearly saw that his mother was teaching hundreds of skills in brocade spinning! ”

Liu Min said this, frowning and muttering: "Minzi can see the figure of his mother, then it is not the yin and yang worlds, at least the fairy world; Toshiko is a human mother and an immortal, and immortals and mortals can look at and communicate with each other face-to-face! ”

Liu Min was in a daze, but saw the black stagecoach hurrying over; followed by two maids, Qing'er and Wen'er.

The black stagecoach walked up to Liu Min and Grandpa Huo, clasped his hands into fists, bowed deeply, and said, "True Feng Niangniang!" Grandpa Fire, the cave master is invited! ”

Liu Min was stunned and stared at the black stagecoach; Qing'er and Wen'er hurriedly said Wanfu and added: "Master, Grandpa Huo, the cave master is asking the two of you to go!" ”

Liu Min no longer doubted that Qing'er and Wen'er walked in front to lead the way, and Liu Min and Grandpa Huo came to the martial arts academy again, which is Wanjingyuan.

Liu Min had wandered around Markham Garden before, and now he saw the lake and landscape; I couldn't help but ask the Qing'er girl on the side: "Qing'er, isn't this Markham Garden?" ”

Qing'er said disdainfully: "This is Markham Garden!" The cave master asked the slave maid to take the real phoenix Niangniang to the lake pavilion in Markham Garden! ”

"Lake Light Pavilion!" Liu Min screamed and looked forward; I saw a pool of lake water sparkling in front of me, and a pavilion with four corners upturned in the middle of the lake stood alone.

At this time, it is the time of autumn and summer, and the autumn cicadas on the shore of the lake are squeaking and chirping; There are dozens of wild ducks and swans floating on the lake, giving people a pleasant texture of paradise.

Liu Min took his gaze back, and asked Miss Wen'er again: "Why did the cave master make an appointment with the little girl on the pavilion in the middle of the lake?" ”

Wen'er smiled and said, "How can the slave and maid know!" ”

Wen'er paused as she spoke, and said solemnly: "Wen'er, Sister Qing'er, and General Hei were ordered by the cave master to call Zhenfeng Niangniang and Grandpa Huo to go to the pavilion in the middle of the lake; As for the reason, the slave and maid don't know! ”

Liu Min listened to Miss Wen'er's honesty, so it was inconvenient to ask more; Under the leadership of Black Stagecoach, Qing'er, and Wen'er, we stepped on the covered bridge leading to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

The pavilion was built in the middle of the lake and connected by a covered bridge, which can only be seen in the royal gardens; But the Markham Garden in Xuanji Cave is the only way.

This is the traditional practice of building a pavilion in the lake - the thing built in the water is called a pavilion, which is actually to build a platform at the water's edge or in the water.

Half of the platform is deep into the water, half is on the shore; The platform is surrounded by a low balustrade, and then a single wooden building is built on the platform.

The plan of the building is usually rectangular, and its waterfront side is particularly open; Sometimes the building is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling doors and windows, which appear to be empty and accessible.

The roof is often rolled shed and rested in the style of the mountain, and the eaves corner is flat and light; The exquisite hanging under the eaves, the slightly curved goose chairs between the columns and all kinds of door and window railings, etc., are often exquisite wood craftsmanship, which is both simple and natural, but also simple and generous.

The lake-center structure in Markham Garden is a pavilion connected by a covered bridge, which shows its luxury and atmosphere......
