Chapter 7: Extraterrestrial Events
The days of Xiaowangzhuang are flowing quietly day by day, and there may be no one else paying attention to it except me.
It was a hot and dry evening at first, and the entire Qinglong Town was silent without a sound. There are almost no pedestrians on the streets, and even the big yellow dog, which is usually the most active, hides in the shade of the trees, stretches out its limbs and lies down, and you can still hear the sound of its sleepy tongue licking its paws. The other living creatures, chickens and ducks, were napping.
Under the big tree, there are a few unusual outsiders, headed by one, who can really be described as having improper facial features, his appearance is not good, his face is not black, white, yellow or green, drinking the "two kicking" wine in the Meijia wine shop on the street, like a sun-dried eggplant.
This person is very strange, wearing women's clothes, bare chest, fat hanging half a foot long, if it weren't for a few black beards, I thought it was an old lady.
The people of Qinglong Town didn't know who he was. He is nicknamed "Bed Bug Ho", the leader of the Red Incense Society. They also used to be heroes, carrying big knives and doing it with foreigners. Foreigners have foreign guns and cannons, they have the blessing of Taishang Laojun, before going out, there are words: Heavenly spirit spirit, earth spirit, Taishang Laojun will soon show the spirit......
Then I drew some paper symbols, burned them, drank them, and felt invulnerable, stripped off my clothes, shirtless, braved the rain of bullets, and fought hard. The results are predictable. But this bed bug is the tenacious "Xiaoqiang", and he came back alive.
The red incense will disperse, and the bedbug will go to the streets and alleys to become a fortune teller, and there is no business on this hot day. He poured out the wine in the wine gourd and washed his hands, and then inserted a stick of incense on the ground, accounting for a hexagram, which was called: "Kanshang Kunxia", also known as "Earth Water Master". The Book of Changes says that in the teacher, auspicious, there is no blame. It is also "wife and wealth in the world". It is a very good hexagram, as for the meaning of the gown, only he knows. A wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It wasn't dark yet, and the moon climbed up the treetops early. A strange bird in the trees flew away, like a green elf in the moonlight, and let out a very crisp cry, which spread far and wide in the vast dark night.
Most of the people in Xiaowangzhuang sleep, and most people only eat two meals a day, except for the Mei family, of course.
Mrs. May arranged to set up a table in the inner courtyard, which was a small patio made up of tiled houses on all sides, and stood under the eaves to look up at the moon in the sky. There is an osmanthus tree in the middle of the yard, which should be hundreds of years old, and when it blooms, the house is full of fragrance.
In such weather, in such a harmonious atmosphere, family gatherings have a taste. The braised dried fragrant fish, boiled pot fish, spiced beef, as well as the seasonal vegetables fried by the house, and the sorghum wine brewed by the winery are not known to be many grades higher than the "two kicks" that ordinary people drink.
"Xiaolan, it's time to call the master to eat" Mrs. Mei saw that the dishes were almost served, and all the aunts and aunts came over to sit down.
"I don't dare to go" Xiaolan was a little scared, "The master is writing, I'm going in, he's going to beat me."
It turned out that Master Mei was working hard in the study, was he reading some sage book to prepare for the civil service exam?
Of course not, Master Mei has long been unwilling to make a name for himself, and he is not that material. He was just a little dissatisfied with Bai Xiucai in the village, the names of the children in the village were all called by him, and his daughter's was not good, he had to take it himself.
There was a pot of blooming smiles on one of his large bookcases, but Master Mei was biting the brush, thinking about it for a long time, and couldn't laugh.
Outside the door, Mrs. Mei walked in in a hurry, and the maid at the door stopped her, "Madam, no one can enter when the master writes!" ”
Mrs. Mei pushed away the hand that stopped her: "It's urgent!" He lifted the curtain and entered the room.
Master Mei was still meditating and didn't seem to hear it.
"Master, it's time to eat," Madame May urged.
Master Mei suddenly turned around and threw the pen at Mrs. Mei fiercely, this is a rare time for him to lose his temper so much, in front of Mrs., he is generally very restrained temper, Mrs.'s brother is an official in the county, and he is in charge of the criminal name.
Madame May was startled, and hurriedly ducked back, and the pen hit the maid's skirt, staining a piece of ink.
"What's wrong with you? Ate a cannonball? "Mrs. May is not angry.
Master Mei's mouth was full of ink, and he puffed angrily: "Go out, go out, do big things!" “
Mrs. May said, "It's time to eat, the whole family is waiting for you!" “
Master Mei said, "You guys eat first, I'll wait a while." Master Mei took a pen handed by the maid, turned around and stared at a piece of white paper on the table.
Mrs. May said, "...... Your daughter can walk, giggles. ”
Master Mei shook his eyes and looked back at his wife.
He said to himself, "Good! ”
Master Mei seemed to be inspired, walked to the bookcase, pulled a piece of rice paper, dipped the pen in thick ink, and wrote three big characters on the paper: Mei Shuping.
Mrs. Mei was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "Okay, our child has a name."
Master Mei threw away the pen and said happily: "Look at my son!" ”
Mrs. May corrected him: "It's a girl"
Master Mei said indifferently: "The girl is the son!" ”
When Master Mei came into the courtyard, he saw his lively and cheerful daughter, and the little man was there, holding on to the stool, and going from side to side, trying to climb the stool. Several aunts waited on the sidelines with fear, for fear that she would fall.
The child was full of curiosity about the world, and went to catch flowers, grass, sand, and so on, and the aunts were afraid that her hands would get dirty.
Everything around her was laughing and shining like her, and even the cool breeze blowing by the river was blowing in the middle of the hair on the back of her neck, bringing her a little coolness!
