Chapter 11: Lyra is in a hurry
Wei Xiaotang and I asked for annual leave, and the relevant leaders approved it as scheduled.
On Friday night, Flying Fish and Ah Hai invited our two families to a Zhanjiang restaurant near their fishing tackle shop for dinner to discuss the departure for tomorrow.
My father seemed very happy to be able to take me on a long journey to learn Lyra.
I'm thirteen years old, and although I've traveled with my parents many times, I've never been there for a month. And this time I went to study art, which can be regarded as a long trip to study, not only to improve my piano skills, but also to meet new friends, travel to new places and open my eyes.
"A man must aim to be far away, read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, and make friends." My father encouraged me like this.
Feiyuzi and his wife Yuehuhu are also very excited because of the long-planned plan to go to the Guangxi border to buy high-end mahogany furniture. With a smile on his face, he poured us tea and persuaded us to cook.
Because Wei Xiaotang wants to go back to his hometown for an in-depth family visit, I don't care if he is happy or not, but he will have to take on a big responsibility in this trip to Guangxi for the five of us, after all, this time we are not going to another place, but his hometown.
In addition to Ah Hai who is not married and has no girlfriend, the family members of the three families also attended the dinner, no matter whether the three women are really happy or falsely happy, the last three women all said: Don't worry about going to play, there are us at home!
Drive two cars. It was agreed to leave at half past eight the next morning.
What to bring on the road, everyone carefully discussed.
In addition to various types of fishing tackle, including rods, fishing reels, fishing lines, fishing boxes, bait, etc., there are also sun-protective clothing, fishing sunglasses, and so on. In addition, after Wei Xiaotang learned that the leaders approved his vacation, he used the publicly-funded medical card several times in a few days to prescribe a large package of medicines for family backup, mainly fever, cold, diarrhea, indigestion, motion sickness, seasickness, mosquito bites and other medicines.
In addition to the above, Flying Fish also specifically offered to bring his pure black male dog and a dozen soul grenades that he developed himself.
"Tiger teeth, pure black male dog and soul scattered grenade, this is the three treasures I carry when I go out fishing, especially fishing in unfamiliar waters, one is indispensable."
When his father and Wei Xiaotang heard that he was going to bring the so-called "three treasures", they objected.
The father said, "Take Huya and the pure black male dog, no problem, as for the dozen or so soul scattered grenades...... father smiled and shook his head, which obviously meant that he didn't believe that the game would be useful.
Flying Fish Boy said resolutely: "The tiger teeth do not leave the body, the pure black male dog does not leave the body, and the soul scatters the grenade." If I go fishing in the unfamiliar waters on the border, I may encounter something unclean, so I still have to take my three treasures with me. Not only for your own sake, but also for everyone's safety. ”
"You bring tiger teeth and pure black male dogs, this is no problem, but if you want to bring those dozen soul scattered grenades, this will be troublesome." Wei Xiaotang reminded him.
Feiyuzi spread his hands and said, "What's the troublesome method?" We drive our own cars, don't take planes, don't take high-speed trains, don't take long-distance buses, don't have to go through security checks, I bring a dozen soul grenades, who is in the way? ”
"This time we are going to my hometown, my hometown is different from our Pearl River Delta side, my hometown is near the border, you enter the border area, you will encounter border checkpoints. The inspectors were not ordinary security guards, auxiliary police, or public security personnel, but all PLA officers and soldiers with loaded guns. From Nanning to Pingxiang, there is a checkpoint, and from Pingxiang to my hometown of Ningzhou, there are two checkpoints. In some cases, mobile checks are also added. We are outsiders, not local border people. The local border people all look the same in their clothes and ornaments, and they all speak strong words, and the inspectors see that they are locals, and when they hear that they are local accents, they will interrogate them a few words at most, and sometimes they will be allowed to leave without looking at their ID cards. However, if we drive two Guangdong A-plate cars, the inspectors will not be sloppy. In addition to carefully looking at the ID card and serious interrogation, it also depends on who is sitting in the car? What's in it? Where did it come from? Where to go? After all, it is a border area, the forefront of the struggle against the enemy! At that time, if they find out that there are more than a dozen soul-scattered grenades in the trunk of your car, the PLA comrades do not know what the soul-scattered means, but as soon as they hear that they are grenades, then we are afraid that we will not be able to come back. I don't care personally, but if I make Brother Li and Jiuyin's children miserable, I can't bear this responsibility. ”
Hearing Wei Xiaotang say this, Feiyu Boy was nervous, kept rubbing his hands, and said for a while: "Then what should I do?" I finally visited several famous mountains and consulted several mages, and then I configured the Soul Scatter Grenade, and this time I didn't bring it with me. I checked the information, and we went fishing at the source of the Zuojiang River this time. It is said on the Internet that the Zuojiang Bay, the right river beach, and the Zuojiang River are deep and rapid, and they have never dried up for thousands of years, and the river surface is crooked, and the mountains on both sides of the river are towering. If you bring this self-defense object, it is not a good thing, even if you don't encounter a monster in the water, in case we encounter a murderer in the border area, we can also throw a few soul scattered grenades when we are cornered, and the electric light cannon fireworks in it can also play a little deterrent effect as soon as the fireworks cannon explodes...... "The flying fish boy's tone became a little pleading.
The father looked at the flying fish, smiled, and said, "How did you make that soul grenade?" You put the materials for making soul grenades, such as peachwood, ginger, wormwood, black dog blood, etc., you go back tonight and use a wall breaker overnight to powder them into a big bag and put them in the car to take them, and then ask Jiuyin to sprinkle the boy's urine on it, and then find a dozen empty beer cans to fill it? However, you have to buy electric light cannons and fireworks guns locally to install them. ”
"I don't know if we can find a powerful electric light cannon or a fireworks cannon over there." Ah Hai interjected.
"Rest assured, fireworks are never banned in our hometown, and they can be bought everywhere. During the Spring Festival, in the market, the commissary is full of fireworks and firecrackers, and when visiting relatives and friends, they also take fireworks and firecrackers, and they will be released at the entrance of the host's village or at the door of their homes. There are not only fireworks, but also powerful cupola cannons, and I heard that some of them are also equipped with explosives, which can blow people's hands away if you are not careful. Wei Xiaotang said.
"That's okay, according to what you said, I will process those materials into powder overnight tonight, wrap them into big bags, and put them in the on-board refrigerator on the car when we leave tomorrow, even if the officers and soldiers at the border station see it when they inspect it, I will say that it is bait for fishing and nesting, and I believe that they will see that the trunk of the car is full of fishing tackle, and they will not embarrass us if they know that we are going fishing."
"That's, that's, as long as it's not drugs, gunpowder, explosives, firecrackers, there shouldn't be a problem." Wei Xiaotang said with a smile.
Later, it was mentioned how to deploy personnel to take the car. There was no discussion on this issue, and the flying fish decided like this:
"Wei Xiaotang sits in the Land Rover I drive, the pure black male dog sits in the back seat, and the nine-tone Tianqin is also placed in the back seat, which should be placed diagonally. Director Li and Jiuyin, your father and son, took the Highlander jeep driven by Ahai. ”
Father, Ah Hai and Wei Xiaotang have no objection to the arrangement of the flying fish.
"Jiuyin, you and your father are in the same car, and Tianqin is in the other car, my dog will not mess with your piano, you can rest assured." The flying fish boy also turned his head to me and said to me.
At about half past eight the next morning, our two cars set off on time in front of the fishing tackle shop.
From the navigation point of view, from Sampan Zhou City to Ningzhou County, Guangxi, it is about 960 kilometers and takes about 12 hours. If you don't take a break all the way, you can get there in 8 hours.
From the navigation point of view, almost all the way is the highway, and I heard that to the south of Nanning, on the highway from Nanning to Youyiguan, it is even more direct and less car, you can drive faster. However, before departure, Feiyu said: "Don't worry, we don't rush, we have a month, it's rare for a few families to go out for a walk together, after we enter Guangxi, we will trace the Xijiang River and the Zuojiang River, fishing all the way, all the way, anyway, Wei Xiaotang's hometown is at the source of the Zuojiang River, isn't it?" ”
Feiyuzi also said that we went to a county town called Fusui not far south of Nanning Airport to stay for a few days, and I had booked a room called Songjiang Hotel on the side of the Zuojiang River through the Internet. Next to Songjiang Hotel, just Zuojiang, there is a ferry nearby, there is a temple not far from the ferry port, there are often people released there, pray for rain or something, there are often large groups of rice-level billfish in the water. In addition, Wei Xiaotang is in that Fusui County, and there is also a college classmate who is a teacher in the county middle school, so we will live there for two days first, and then visit classmates and go fishing, killing two birds with one stone, why not? ”
The Highlander Jeep was speeding down the Esplanade and soon got on the Sampan Chau Bridge, and after crossing the bridge, while waiting for the traffic light, Ah Hai's mobile phone suddenly rang.
"What? The car won't catch fire? Ah Hai held the steering wheel in one hand and the mobile phone in the other, looking very surprised.
"Brother-in-law, didn't you just send it to 4S maintenance the day before yesterday and get it back? How were you doing yesterday and this morning? What the hell is going on? The green light came on, and Ah Hai flashed double while slowly changing lanes towards the emergency lane.
It turned out that after our Highlander set off, the Land Rover driven by Flying Fish didn't start at all. Ah Hai was only happy, and the car kept moving forward after it started, and the car of the flying fish boy did not catch fire.
Ah Hai drove forward for a while, found a U-turn, and drove back.
At this time, I suddenly heard a rapid bell ringing from my school bag, in fact, this sound has been ringing continuously since I set off, but I thought the car was bumpy, so I didn't notice it.
At this moment, the car was driving on the flat coastal road, and I could clearly hear the bell in the schoolbag ringing from time to time, sometimes two or three, sometimes five or six, whether it was two or three, or five or six, the sound was hurried and anxious, as if my father and they were going fishing, and suddenly a big fish bit the hook, and the bell caught in the fishing rod suddenly rang, and it was like the night watchman ringing the bell during a fire at night.
I opened my bag, and sure enough, the thousand-year-old bell I used to play the Lyra was ringing.
I suddenly woke up like a dream, and my Lyra was in trouble!
For eight years, I have been with my Gu Tianqin day and night. During the eight long spring and autumn periods that I played the Tianqin, this thousand-year-old guqin also gave me a supernatural power. For example, I can feel the sound of the piano alone when no one is playing it, and I can feel its joys and sorrows from the sound of the piano. My parents and others couldn't feel it, just as the bell in my bag rang quickly, but my father and Hai, who were sitting next to me, couldn't hear or feel it.
I have slowly figured out the temperament of this thousand-year-old guqin, it is like a mature and steady and kind and righteous heavenly master, joy, anger and sorrow are not easy to express.
In eight years, there were only three things that made me feel like it was exerting supernatural powers, and all three of them turned evil into good fortune for me.
When I was 6 years old, three dog thieves broke into the house and stole my Tianqin, and when I cried and cried, it showed its power, and at once the three dog thieves were in a car accident, all of them broke their hands and feet, and the traffic police chased my piano back. The second thing is that I once went fishing in a fish pond with my father, and when there was almost no one in the whole fish pond, there was suddenly a mysterious force that manipulated me to play the guqin, and all of a sudden, the fish in the whole fish pond jumped to the shore. The third thing is that when I entered primary school, I couldn't be admitted to the art class of the city's first central primary school in my parents and my mind, but after the examiners of the school listened to me play the guqin, they all inexplicably agreed to admit me.
Although my parents also privately thought that my guqin had spirituality for a while, they never saw anything strange happen to the guqin, so they slowly forgot and denied their original opinion.
I myself feel that its spirituality does not happen at any time, that is, its supernatural power is not at my disposal.
I have been playing a lot for eight years, but nothing has happened to me, and no one will break my hands or feet as soon as I play the piano, or all the fish in the pond will jump to the shore to die. In my usual school exams, including junior high school, it didn't help me.
I think that the reason why my thousand-year-old guqin is like this must be that its owner thousands of years ago has given it a kind of strength, a kind of subtlety, a kind of upbringing, and a kind of low-key, rather than casually shooting.
But, even so, I have to be kind to it.
For eight years, I have always placed it on a clean desk in my study, and when my parents set offerings and burn incense on the table in the garden during the New Year's holidays, I would also put a few candies and a few fruits in front of the guqin in my study, and then fold my hands and pray silently.
This time I want to go to Guangxi, back to its hometown, why did it suddenly ......
Suddenly, I woke up like a dream, and it must be that Guqin was unwilling to ride back to his hometown with a strange pure black male dog.
While I was thinking this, the car arrived at the fishing tackle shop.
I hurriedly got out of the car, ran over in a hurry, opened the door of the flying fish, and couldn't wait to take the piano off with both hands. After that, I walked to the car driven by Ah Hai, pulled the door and got into it, and gently held the piano in my arms.
I stroked the strings affectionately with my hands, and found that the three strings were so tight that they were almost on the verge of breaking. I remember playing it for a while in the morning, and the strings weren't that tight!
"What the hell is the problem?" After Ah Hai got out of the car, he asked the flying fish boy loudly from afar.
"I can't find it, all the meters are normal."
"I'll try." Ah Hai got into the driver's seat of the car, pressed the ignition button, and the car roared.
"Damn, there's no problem at all, it's normal. Do you know how to drive? Ah Hai scolded his brother-in-law loudly.
The flying fish boy was stunned, and after a while, he said, "It's amazing! Weird! ”
"Let's go! ——”
As the wheels rolled, I suddenly noticed that the three strings on the lyra were slowly slowing down, and I plucked them with my fingers to make a series of beautiful sounds.
The car "whirred" and rushed up a steep slope, and strangely, the bell in the bag did not ring.
Years later, I occasionally mentioned it to my friends. My friend said this, because the dog corresponds to the yang soil in the twelve earthly branches, the dog is born with strong yang energy and pure, and the pure black dog is a close relative of the roaring dog, and ordinary demons and monsters cannot get close. Therefore, dogs and things in the underworld have always been compatible with fire and water.
He also said that if someone is splashed with black dog blood on the ancestral grave by the enemy, he must immediately sprinkle the child's urine on the grave to crack it, or ask a feng shui master to crack it, otherwise it will have a great impact on future generations.
I think my friend's words may be just a legend and not credible.
