Since the Qing army entered the customs, Wu Sangui has been in Yunnan, although he is a vassal king, but he has his own self-respect, from the officials, to the people's livelihood, all have his own system, even if it is called "a country within a country". This situation lasted until the twentieth year of Kangxi, when Wu Sangui's deployment was destroyed, and Yunnan officially came under the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty. Although the regime has changed several times, the war has not had much impact on Yunnan, so there are poems at that time:

Lingering in Cangshan and Erhai clouds, Qingbo washes cherry lips in a dream.

Born Dali Golden Flower Girl, three towers grate comb jade beauty.

What is praised is the beautiful scenery of Yunnan, and the corresponding simple customs and customs. In the thirty-seventh year of Kangxi, the country and the people were safe, and the people's lives had improved a lot compared with the past, and the slogan of "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty" gradually disappeared, but there were still a group of people who missed the old things of the previous dynasty and regarded themselves as the people of the Ming Dynasty. In a small village at the foot of Cangshan Mountain in Dali, Yunnan, there is such a group of people.

"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. ”

It was the scorching heat of July, when the wheat had been harvested, and the adults sat in groups of three or five, smoking dry tobacco, chatting without a word, or putting a chessboard under the shade of the trees.

The day often goes by like this.

Not far away, by the river, a dozen children sat on the ground or on small benches, shaking their heads and reading poems aloud to a little boy standing in front of them.

The little boy looked childish, only six or seven years old, but he held the Book of Songs in his left hand and his right hand behind him, pacing while reading in a deep voice: "My Fair Lady, good gentleman." ”

When the little boy spoke, there was a small dimple printed on his left cheek, which was very cute, and he was clearly a child, but he made an old-fashioned appearance, which could not help but make people laugh. But the children in front of him were listening intently.

"Lin Jing, you read it wrong, what Mr. Lin said in the morning, the word 'good' should be read the third time. A little girl with three teeth and two pigtails suddenly stood up and said.

"How could it be!" The little boy named Lin Jing had a red face, his eyes widened, he looked at the book in disbelief, and muttered to himself: "It's obviously the fourth tone! ”

"He can't read! Don't listen, don't listen!" An older boy stood up, pointed at Lin Jing with his finger, and said, "Let's go play hide and seek!"

"Oh, let's go, play hide and seek!" the children scattered, leaving only the little girl who had just pointed out Lin Jing's mistake.

"Lin Jing, let's go out too. The little girl took Lin Jing's hand and was about to chase after the other children who had gone away.

"No, Tiger Girl, I'm going to go home and ask Daddy first. Lin Jing broke away from the little girl's hand and ran towards the entrance of the village.

This is a small village with only 38 households, most of the people in the village are old people of the Ming Dynasty, and they do not want to live in the environment of the Qing Dynasty, so they came to Dali, Yunnan, and lived in seclusion, living a life of self-sufficiency in men and women. Because most of the people in the village are surnamed Liu, it is also called Liujia Village.

Lin Jing's father, Lin Kun, came to Liujia Village with his wife Shi Ruolan ten years ago, because he had read poetry and books since he was a child, he naturally became the only teacher in the village. For example, Tiger Girl, her big name is Liu Jin'er, which means a beautiful jade-like girl.

Lin Jing is seven years old this year, he has admired his father since he was a child, and he is determined to be a respected teacher like his father. No, whenever he plays with his friends, he plays the role of Mr. Teaching.

"Daddy, daddy!" Lin Jing's home was at the easternmost entrance of the village, three small gray-and-white tiled houses, and he shouted as he ran to his father's bedroom.

Shi Ruolan was sitting on the bed knitting a sweater for Lin Jing for the winter, and when she saw her son running back sweating profusely, she hurriedly put the half-knitted sweater aside, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on Lin Jing's forehead.

"Water, water. Lin Jing gasped for breath, took the tea that his mother had cold for him earlier, and drank it in one go.

"Mother, my father. Lin Jing's eyes didn't let go of every corner of the room, and her funny appearance amused Shi Ruolan, she said with a smile: "Silly child, your father went to water in the field." ”

"Got it, I'm going to find Daddy!" Lin Jing turned around and ran out in a hurry, just in time to meet the tiger girl who came up to find her.

"Lin Jing, slow down, wait for me. The tiger girl was so anxious that she stomped straight and hurriedly followed.

"Go home early for dinner. When Shi Ruolan arrived at the door, the two children had already run away, she shook her head helplessly, and sighed: "This kid's stubborn strength is exactly the same as his father's." ”

Lin Jing's ten acres of land are in the southernmost part of the village, next to Diancang Mountain. He was only a seven-year-old child, and after running for more than a mile, he couldn't run anymore, so he leaned against a big tree and wanted to rest for a while.

"Lin Jing, you ...... Why are you running so fast!" After a while, Hu Niu pinched her waist with both hands and followed out breathlessly, just about to complain about Lin Jing, but found that the latter's index finger was placed between her lips, signaling her to silence.

The tiger girl looked at Lin Jing's gaze suspiciously, and couldn't help but light up, in the field not far away, there was a little gray hare!

"Tiger girl, let's go catch it. Lin Jing whispered that in this remote countryside, children rarely see hares on weekdays, and the only animals that can play are a few lazy earth dogs.

"Good. The tiger girl nodded again and again, her mind completely attracted by the little hare.

"Then don't make a sound, let me come. Lin Jing rolled up his sleeves and tiptoed towards the little hare.

Gradually, only three meters away from the little hare, he held his breath and gently burrowed into the field, as long as he pounced further, he could catch the little hare.

The little hare obviously didn't know that it had been targeted by Lin Jing, eating grass with its head bored, raising its head from time to time, wrinkling its small nose and sniffing, as if trying to judge whether there was a dangerous breath in the air.

Seeing the little hare looking up, Lin Jing's heart suddenly rose to his throat, he could even hear a violent heartbeat, one second, two seconds, he couldn't help it anymore, opened his hands, and pounced forward!

"Caught it! Caught it! Tiger Girl, I caught it!" Lin Jing hugged the little hare, for fear that it would escape, and shouted happily at the tiger girl.

"Lin Jing, you are awesome!" the tiger girl was very excited, she clapped her hands, ran over, took the little hare from Lin Jing's hand, and stroked its fluffy fur with pity.

"Hey, what kind of flower is this? Why have you never seen it before?" Lin Jing suddenly saw a strange flower growing in the field in the northwest, with pitch-black flower stems and black and white petals.

The tiger girl has never seen such a strange flower, Lin Jing thought about it, and decided to pick this strange flower and give it to his mother, he stretched out his thumb and index finger, pinched the flower stem with his two fingers, twisted it hard, and picked the strange flower.

"Let's go, Tiger Girl, let's go home. ”

"Aren't you going to find Mr. Lin? Tiger Girl asked suspiciously.

"Don't go, go home first, I'm going to give this flower to my mother first." Lin Jing couldn't wait to return to Shi Ruolan immediately and give her this strange flower. Thinking of his mother's happy smile, Lin Jing was full of strength, spread his legs, and ran towards home.

"Mother, I have a gift for you!" Before anyone arrived, the voice came first, and Lin Jing's voice spread far away from the entrance of the village to Shi Ruolan's ears.

"What are you holding in your hand? Shi Ruolan saw Lin Jing's right hand hidden behind her, and asked with a smile.

"Mother, you've never seen such a flower!" Lin Jing took out the strange flower from behind his back and put it in front of his mother happily.

Shi Ruolan saw the black and white petals of this strange flower, her face changed suddenly, she snatched this strange flower from Lin Jing's hand, and asked sharply, "Where did you find this flower?"

Seeing his mother's unhappy face, Lin Jing was very puzzled, and said honestly: "I found it in the field of Second Uncle Liu's house next door, mother, why don't you seem to be happy." ”

Shi Ruolan didn't seem to hear Lin Jing's question, staring at this strange flower in a daze, for a long time, she whispered to Lin Jing: "Jing'er, go to our field, get your father back, and say that there is something wrong with your mother." ”

"Oh. Lin Jing walked out of the house with an aggrieved face, he thought that his mother would be happy, where did he think that it would be like this.

After walking for a while, Lin Jing happened to meet his father Lin Kun, and he told his father what happened to Fang Cai, but when Lin Kun heard it, his face changed, he threw down the hoe, picked up Lin Jing, and rushed home.

When I returned home, I saw Shi Ruolan packing up her clothes, and Lin Jing asked puzzledly, "Mother, what are you doing, how did you put away your clothes." ”

"Mother wants to take you to see your mother-in-law. Shi Ruolan barely squeezed out a smile and said.

"Really! Great!" Lin Jing jumped up happily, he had never been out of the village since he was so big.

"Jing'er, you go and pack up your clothes. After Shi Ruolan branched Lin Jing, she took out the strange flower. Lin Kun frowned and said, "It's really a corpse incense konjac, but I didn't expect the corpse to chase after me." ”

"Brother Kun, if it was before, the corpse chased after him, let's fight with him. But now that there is Jing'er, you have to keep Jing'er safe if you say anything. Let's go tonight and go to my wife's. Shi Ruolan said as she cleaned up.

Lin Kun was silent for a long time, sighed, hugged Shi Ruolan's slender waist, and said, "Lan'er, it's me who is sorry for you and Jing'er. ”

"Brother Kun, where do you say, marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, my life has long belonged to your Lin family. Shi Ruolan held Lin Kun's hand with her backhand, her eyes were full of tenderness.

"Okay, let's leave tonight, and I'll contact Senior Brother. Lin Kun turned around and walked out, came to the firewood room, picked up the firewood piled in the corner, he clenched his right hand into a fist, measured on the gray-white earthen wall, and there was a slightly raised small bump about five fists from the bottom to the top.

Lin Kun pinched out the small pimple with his fingers, pulled it outward, and pulled out a dark grid, containing a package, after opening it, there was a hexagonal bronze mirror inside, a dagger, and a black stone, which was tied by a small red rope.
