Chapter 33: The Perforated Stone
A small simple house in the col.
Yuzhen wrapped strips of cloth around his fingers, and was piercing small stones with an awl. It's already quite a bit of a look.
Sister Ah rubbed the rope on the side, "I see that you are angry like this!" ”
"What are you angry about?" Yuzhen looked at the hole in the light, neat and smooth.
"Has our stockade grown with stones, even you have knocked on it!"
"What else do we have besides stones, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water, and if there are stones, we will eat the stones."
Sister Ah dropped the rope in her hand, "Even you think so, the village is really going to end!" ”
Yuzhen was taken aback, "Sister..."
"Do those nobles really look down on us because of the multicolored stones? Is all the meaning of life to pick the so-called spirit stones for the royal family? Don't look, don't knock, don't knock! Sister knocked off the stone in Yuzhen's hand and kicked away the abandoned gravel on the side.
"The men in the stockade go to knock stones and grind stones, and the women cook and wash for them in the rear, are we slaves to stones!"
"Sister... I know what you mean... But..."
"The children in the village can't read and write, so as soon as the morning dawns, they carry baskets and follow the adults up the mountain, carry stones and smash stones, and guess which stone has a stone that will change color!" Sister Ah was hoarse.
"Don't wear it, don't smash it..."Yuzhen tore off the strip of cloth wrapped around his fingers, "I won't smash it again..."
The sun sets early in the col, and the afterglow passes through the cracks in the mountains, gilding everything golden.
Sister Ah and Yuzhen sat quietly.
"What if the whole village goes on strike? Can they kill the whole village? Sister asked, and then asked herself, "There will always be blood in the struggle, but you can't give up the struggle because you are afraid of bloodshed, there must be a beginning..."
"Sister, then who will bleed first..."
"You're going to die in the palace that day, and with the whole village, you can kill the capital together!" Sister A's tone was serious. But Yuzhen was not angry, she also thought so in her heart at this time.
"The royal family inlaid the multicolored stone on the longevity thread as a mascot, is it that without the multicolored stone, they will not be able to live and die..."
The sun was setting behind the mountains, and smoke was rising from the rooftops.
"I'm home..."
Sister is gone, and Yuzhen is very lost. Thoughts drift back to that night.
Feed her snacks, let her out of the house, listen to her story, please have morning tea, and return the seventeenth young man to the silver.
The longevity lock is still in his hand.
Yuzhen was suddenly a little happy, and found a reason to see Seventeen Shao again.
"To go to the capital, you have to go to the Beijing Inn for one day, and then set off before dawn the next day, and you will arrive in the capital in one day. But you have to have silver to go to the capital..."Yuzhen held his face and fell into melancholy again.
"Make a bracelet and get it to the Beijing Inn for a day, you can always sell it for some money!" Yuzhen smashed his head with his fist, "I just said that I wouldn't smash stones, why is my mind full of stones, stones, stones!" ”
"But how can you make money without smashing stones!"
There was no one around...
"What about others, I smash mine, I just want to smash!"
Yuzhen picked up the awl and smashed the stones. "Ding Jingle" knocked twice, and my heart was empty...
It's dark, and the piercing is delicate work, so rub the rope and don't bother your eyes.
Yuzhen picked up the rope that Sister Ah dropped and rubbed it on her lap.
Suddenly laughed, why laughing, I can't say specifically, I just want to laugh.
"The queen mother's jade bead plate was overturned, and when it fell to the ground, it turned into a multicolored stone. Lingyu hangs on his chest, saving his life and prolonging his life..."
