Chapter 2 [Scalpers]
With a crackling sound, the young man raised his axe and split a piece of wood in half, and replied to himself: "Mother! I've been talking about it five times today, and although the child doesn't remember the old things, he will definitely be filial to his father and mother in the future! ”
"Good!" The woman looked at the young man with pity on her face, but she didn't stop saying: "Niu'er, your master said that your strange disease is called a soulless disease, if you don't remember the old things, you won't remember it, don't think about it again, and you won't have a headache again!" ”
While speaking, the young man set up the wood and held an axe to chop, but he was suddenly stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "Mother, what my master looks like, I can't remember it now!" ”
"If you can't remember, you don't want to!" The lady looked a little nervous when she heard this, but said, "Yes! Mother heard Dr. Zhou from Huichun Hall say that his family's firewood is running out, and he has accumulated a lot in the past few days. ”
"I'll take care of it!" The young man named Niu Er nodded and agreed, and continued to set up the firewood to chop, but he heard Huang Lao Qi outside the courtyard say: "Hurry up Ming'er, Niu Er has picked it up, and this will be sent!" ”
"Daddy!" The ox screamed, then put down the axe, rushed forward to open the courtyard gate of the wooden fence, Huang Laoqi led the mule cart in, but first took out the document from his arms and said to the ox: "Look, what is this?" ”
The scalper took a look, and suddenly said with joy on his face: "There are still documents for the guarantee and the post of the children's test?" Dad, can I go to the children's exam? ”
Huang Lao Qi stroked his beard and smiled: "This is nature! Your uncle has explained, I want you to take the post and work hard, don't lose the face of my old Huang family by then! ”
The scalper screamed happily, and then took out the paperwork to see, and Huang Laoqi took out mutton, mash wine, pen and ink rice paper and other things from the car, and said to the lady Yao: "Mother-in-law, hurry up and make a fire, stew this knife meat, and our family should celebrate tonight." ”
Yao took the things, smiled and went to the stove room, although the son was sent back by the master because of the loss of the soul and suffered from a headache, which was considered a blessing in disguise, but the master is really a good person, but in a few years, he opened his own cow, and now he is also a reading seed of literacy and hyphenation.
I think of a few days ago, when I begged my younger brother Saburo to come to the school, Saburo didn't believe it at first, but after the school examination, he was happy to have a solid foundation and calligraphy skills.
After Niu Er put away the paperwork, he and his father loaded the chopped dry wood onto the mule cart and went to Dr. Zhou's house, but they turned back in half an hour.
That night, Yao's stewed two catties of mutton in a pot of salt vegetables, steamed two liters of dried corn rice, and the family of three had a beautiful and full meal. During the banquet, the scalper was even more joking with his father, although the mutton and salt vegetables stewed by the Taoist mother and Yao's were delicious, but they were empty of materials, and they would definitely find some beef to stew salt vegetables when they were rich on another day, so as to honor their parents well.
When Huang Lao Qi and Yao's heard this, their hearts were both happy and sad, if it weren't for the vicious illness six years ago, the old Huang family would have been able to afford to eat beef. Although the imperial court prohibits the slaughter of cultivated cattle now, Huangzhou is also regarded as the thoroughfare of Huainan West Road, so there will always be some old, sick and disabled cattle to be slaughtered and sold, and now there are 45 wen a pound of mutton on the market, 25 wen a pound of pork, and beef is only about 100 wen, which is not too expensive.
The family had a full meal and rested.
Although the Huang family has three thatched huts, one west house is a stove room, and one north house is a hall house, so the family of three lives in the east house, a wall separates the inside and outside, and the couple lives in the inner house, and a small bed is built outside for the cattle to rest.
The scalper took the post to study until the second watch and then fell asleep, but after a long time, he woke up with sweat, and felt unbearable bloating, so he quietly went out to relieve himself, but when he returned, he listened to the whispered night talk of his father and mother in the house, and only listened to his mother Yao asked quietly: "Old man, the slave thinks about it day and night, but I am afraid that Niu'er's master will find it in the future, what should I do?" ”
Huang Laoqi muttered in a low voice: "Mother-in-law is thinking a lot, when Master Niu'er went, he said that he had something important to rush back to Shuzhong, but if Niu'er was sick and wanted to learn art from him, he would go to Shuzhong to find him." If you can't remember the past, you don't have to look for it. Now that more than half a year has passed, I don't see him looking for him, so it's okay to come. ”
Yao Shi was still worried: "These days, the slave looks at the cow is getting better and better, although he still can't remember the past, but he can read the book is a light, I am afraid that his master will find him in the future, and the future of the cow will be ruined." ”
Huang Laoqi smiled and said: "I'm afraid, just wait for Mingchun Niu'er to pass the Tong test and enter the school, that is, Tong Ju who has a fame, I don't expect his master to be able to ask for it." ”
Yao Shi said again: "But his master is my family's life-saver after all, but he is just ......."
Huang Laoqi hurriedly said: "The grace of saving lives naturally must not be forgotten, and besides, the master and his old man also have the great grace of educating our cows, but the cows are sick and can't serve on the side, and God is just like that." ”
When Daddy said this, his voice slowly weakened, but the scalper lying on the bed smiled bitterly.
Suffering from lost soul disorder and forgetting the past, it is the fact but not the whole of the fact.
All the scalpers actually remember, everything started because of a "ghost" that suddenly broke into his mind more than a year ago.
That "ghost" claimed to be a person of the next generation, and what was arranged by God to come through time and space, and to do something great to change his life, but this ghost was very surprised to see that the scalper was not dead, and he actually persuaded the scalper to give up his body to him.
How do you say that the scalper has followed Zhu Taozhi's side since childhood, and is naturally familiar with what ghosts and monsters are demagoguery, of course he will not believe this nonsense, this ghost's good words persuaded twice without success, and he actually said that he believed in fairness, justice, and freedom, and if he used to forcibly occupy the human body and take away the parasitism, it would also violate his original heart, and then he was scattered and annihilated.
And since the ghost annihilated itself, the scalper began to have strange dreams, such as iron birds taking off, iron ships going to sea, tall buildings, iron cars like clouds, and so on. What surprised the scalper the most was that he dreamed of a huge celestial painting, and saw a lump of iron lump burst open instantly, emitting a dazzling bright light, igniting a huge cloud like a mushroom, and from the root of the mushroom cloud, a circle of clouds like ripples appeared, and then he saw that the huge city that appeared in the heavenly painting was instantly destroyed by this cloud, and the people were like charcoal, and the houses were reduced to rubble.
In addition to this, there are many bizarre dreams, for example, in the dream of the scalper actually saw from the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor to unify China, to the three generations of Yao Shunyu after suffering to control the flood, and to the Shang Dynasty King Wu Xuan, Jiang Taigong was a god, and then the Spring and Autumn Warring States, the Qin and Han Kingdoms, the Sui and Tang dynasties to the Song Dynasty of all kinds of stories, everything in the dream is vivid, as if you have seen it yourself. The dream that caught the most attention of the scalpers was that the Tang Dynasty Empress Wu Zetian dreamed, in the dream I saw Tang Wang, Yu Chi, Changsun, Wei Zheng and other celebrities through the ages, but I felt that it was extraordinary or imposing, but when I saw the empress, the empress was not only as beautiful as a flower, but her appearance and image were as big as a fight, like a fairy, and the image of everyone was dwarfed by it.
