Chapter 3 The first year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty
Soon Wu Wei found a living person. When Wu Wei found this person, he was walking with difficulty in the field in the distance by the roadside, and Wu Wei ran to him in surprise, calling as he ran: "Fellow countryman."
When the man saw Wu Wei, he was taken aback, turned around and ran, probably because he was weak and weak, he fell to the ground after running a dozen steps, he seemed to be protecting something in his arms, and turned around and stared at Wu Wei with hatred.
Wu Wei was a little embarrassed to see this, and stopped about two meters in front of him, and said, "Fellow, ask for directions." ”
The man saw that although Wu Wei was tall, his complexion was ruddy, and his tone was kind, not like a wicked person, so he eased up and said, "You are a monk from Baishan Temple?" ”
Well, the accent seems to be Shaanxi dialect, Wu Wei studied in Xi'an University, and after four years, he can basically understand Shaanxi dialect, and his spoken language is slightly worse, but he can also deal with it. It turns out that this is Shaanxi, but why does he call himself a monk?
Wu Wei touched the top of his head, and suddenly suddenly, from what he saw along the way, the people here, except for the monks, probably everyone has their hair in a bun, he has short hair, and his clothes are very different from those here, no wonder he thinks of himself as a monk. So the Shaanxi dialect that was holding back the half-hanging water said: "Er is not a monk from Baishan Temple, Er is from the south." ”
At this time, Wu Wei saw the appearance of this person clearly, about thirteen or fourteen years old, still a child, although he was also skinny and dirty, but he could vaguely see that his eyebrows were delicate and his eyes were quite smart.
"You have spilled my waters, and you must pay me for it." Seeing that Wu Wei was not a wicked person, the young man had the courage to mutter.
Water? Wu Wei was stunned for a moment, and then he saw that what he was protecting on his chest was a broken pottery bowl, and some of the water in it had been sprinkled, and half of it was left. Look at the muddy water, it's not much different from mud.
"My father and my mother are still waiting for me to bring water back, I walked five miles to get this water...... the young man was still muttering, but Wu Wei was deceived and took the pottery bowl away, looked at the water inside, pursed his lips, and said: "How can you drink such water." With that, he spilled the little water left in it, and it was instantly absorbed by the cracked and hot ground so that there was no trace of it.
When the boy saw that he had splashed the water, he was stunned for a moment, and did not get up, but sat on the ground and wailed and began to cry. Wu Wei was stunned, quickly took off his backpack, took out a bottle of "Evergrande Ice Spring" from the side pocket, handed it to the young man, and said bitterly: "How can you drink such dirty water, how can you drink it, how can you drink it to your stomach?" ”
The young man looked at the mineral water in Wu Wei's hand and was stunned for a moment, and his crying stopped, and then took it from Wu Wei's hand like a robbery, holding it tightly with both hands, holding it in his arms, as if he felt that Wu Wei would not take it back, so he looked at the bottle of water while looking up and stealing Wu Wei.
"Is this for me? How did this water make it so clean? The boy flipped the bottle up and down, staring intently, convinced that it was indeed water.
"Well, I'll pay you for it." Wu Wei smiled bitterly, suddenly remembered something, took out a ham sausage from his backpack, handed it to the young man, and said, "Seeing that you are very hungry, eat something first, I have something to ask you."
"Eat?" The young man's eyes lit up, and he took the ham sausage and sent it to his mouth, Wu Wei hurriedly said: "Don't panic, peel the skin on the outside first." Before he could hand over the Swiss Army knife, he saw that the young man had already torn open the outer plastic skin with his mouth, revealing the ham sausage meat inside, and stuffed it into his mouth with a cheer, and asked vaguely while chewing: "Aren't you a monk, why do you eat meat?" ”
"Who said monks can't eat meat?" Wu's mischievous mentality abruptly rose. "Do you know what kind of meat you eat?"
"What meat?" The young man hesitated for a moment, his face was bitter, "Could it be ......" Wu Wei looked at him and nodded seriously.
"Vomit ......" I saw the young man vomit on the ground.
Wu Wei didn't expect him to have such a big reaction, and hurriedly said: "Lie to you, it's not what you think, this food is called ham sausage, which is made by crushing pork and chicken." ”
"Really?" The word ham seemed to be understood by the young man, and he looked at Wu Wei's face suspiciously, as if he wanted to see from his expression whether he was lying.
"You monk...... the young man looked at the vomit on the ground, the expression on his face was full of regret, and he seemed to be hesitating to vomit out and eat it back......
Wu Wei felt a twitch in his stomach, and quickly helped the young man up, and said, "I'm sorry little brother, I shouldn't be playing with you." He took out another ham sausage and handed it to him, saying, "Eat it." ”
But seeing that the young man put most of the ham sausage that he hadn't eaten just now into his arms with this ham sausage, and didn't pass it to his mouth as he did just now, he was stunned for a moment and suddenly said: "Look at me, you're worried about your father, right, this is for you, and your father's is still there." As he spoke, he took out two more loaves of bread, thought about it, and took out another packet of biscuits, and handed them to the boy together.
Although the boy had never seen bread or biscuits, he smelled the fragrance and knew that it was a rare food, so he took it and held it in his arms, and burst into tears. Suddenly put all the food on the ground and kowtowed to Wu Wei.
"What are you doing, get up quickly." Wu Wei didn't expect the boy to react so much, and hurriedly helped the boy up.
Although the boy was thin and weak, he had a lot of strength, but he still stubbornly kowtowed several times before getting up.
"Buddha, are you the master of Baishan Temple?"
"Uh, no, I'm from another unit."
"That's the Big Buddha Temple? Xishan Temple? The boy seemed to have understood the meaning of the word "unit", and he could tell that there were many temples here.
"Not really."
"Could it be Puji Temple? Well, it's not like, the monks of Puji Temple are almost gone, and the rest are so hungry that they can't stand up, and I haven't seen you like you, Master. ”
"I'm not a monk, my surname is Wu, you just call me Brother Wu. I came from a far south, farther south than Xi'an. ”
“……”
"You are from the south, is it the South China Sea Guanyin Bodhisattva who sent you to save us?"
"......, I'm not a monk, you can eat something first, talk less, and spend your saliva."
The young man was anxious about his relatives at home, so he only ate a small half of ham sausage at Wu Wei's insistence, drank two sips of water and struggled to continue on the road, Wu Wei was about to ask him about the situation, so the two went to the young man's home together.
"What's your name?"
"Dogs."
"Good name."
"And what's your last name?"
"The surname is Zhao, and our village is surnamed Zhao."
"Where is this?"
"Zhaojia Village."
"What county?"
"Ansai County, under the jurisdiction of Yan'an Prefecture."
"Yan'an? So this is Shaanxi? ”
"yes, yes."
"What year is it?"
"What do you say?"
"Which emperor is sitting in the court now?"
"Oh, in August last year, the Apocalypse Ye Mu (died), and now it is Chongzhen Ye sitting in the world."
"Last year, the apocalypse died and Chongzhen ascended the throne, so now is the first year of Chongzhen?"
"Hmm."
"The first year of Chongzhen!"
