Yan Shan: One
At the foot of Taihang Mountain and an inconspicuous place, there is a town called Wutong Town, Wutong Town goes all the way to the easternmost end along the street, there is a bridge, called Yanshan Bridge. The bridge is not large, the distance between the two ends is only a few dozen paces, the white stone steps on the bridge have been polished to the smooth edge of the soles of the feet of generations of people, and in the crevices under the railings that have accumulated dirt, clumps of green weeds have grown. The bridge head bends a flat ground, more than ten years ago by a rich family in the village built a tea shop, for the passing pedestrians and merchants to settle down, along with the money to earn a tea meal, although the business is not prosperous, but also operate properly fine water flow, people pass by, always love to stop the footsteps, or sit or stand, listen to a few idlers in the village with neat mouths, tell the legend of the Yanshan Bridge over and over again.
It is said that this Yanshan Bridge has a long history, and the ancestors can't tell how many years it has existed, and which ancestor built it, but the new legend about the Yanshan Bridge, the locals are well known, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, and its versions have their own characteristics, but they are also the same.
According to rumors, it is said that this Yanshan Bridge was built by an immortal in ancient times, because this Taihang Mountain is deep and dense, and many demons and spirits have been derived from the quiet and beautiful place, and those demons and spirits are not willing to hide in the mountains and forests for a lifetime, so they enter the world as a disaster, and the name of the disturbance is boring. The crying petition of the people reached the Immortal Emperor, so the Immortal Emperor sent the most powerful god monarch of the fairy county to subdue the demon and eliminate the demon, the god monarch went down to Wutong Town, exhausted the spiritual power of the whole body, and then the largest demon in the depths of the mountain forest was suppressed under the Yanshan Bridge, and since then the people in the Taihang Mountain area have been peaceful, and the god of the demon town has fallen, and there is no trace of the sky and the earth. The rumor also said that it was said that the name of the bridge was not called by this name, and the local people took one of the characters in his name to commemorate the fallen god monarch and named the bridge.
A blind person in the town often said this, would take a sip of the tea given by the owner of the tea shop, and then exaggerate his expression of horror, and whispered to the people around him, saying that this Yanshan Bridge can only suppress the big demon for three hundred years, and after three hundred years, the big demon will break out of the formation and kill this Wutong Town into a bloody storm.
Ah Fu, who was fetching a bucket of water by the well to wash the dishes, listened quietly, and when the guests who had seen the road gasped in surprise with the talk of the blind eye stick, they couldn't help but giggle twice, and the story told by the blind eye stick and the Zhenxi matchmaker was obviously different, the Wang Po said that the big demon came out once in a hundred years, the blind eye stick said it was three hundred years, and there was a person who said it was five hundred years yesterday at noon, and no one could figure out which was right or wrong, only knowing that the people who lived here exist in this land, It seems that the bridge behind him is always quiet, even if the most turbulent waves in the flood season arrive here, it will be a little calmer than elsewhere.
In fact, Ah Fu thinks that this story may have been arranged by the people in the town, the purpose is to attract the ears of passers-by, so as to stay, buy a piece of sugar cake or a bowl of tea on the side of the road, she has been crawling around since she was a child, and it is also a common thing to wash and wash under the bridge with dirty clothes.
Of course, this suspicion only exists in Ah Fu's heart, she is just a little guy in the tea shop, just do her job diligently, where do you need to think about so many things.
Thinking wildly in his head, the speed of his subordinates' washing of dishes did not stop, and after the dishes that came out of the wooden basin were cleaned and placed neatly, Ah Fu stood up, wiped his wet hands on the apron around his waist a few times, and continued to listen to the rumors about the Yanshan Bridge and the suppression of the big demon by the Divine Monarch back then.
The side of the trousers was itchy, the yellow dog Fujin came over and rubbed Afu's trouser leg, Afu squatted down, gently brushed the hair on Fujin's back, and took the leftovers from the leftovers when he washed the dishes to Fujin.
Fujin lowered his head and sniffed a few times, wagging his tail at Ah Fu, expressing his friendship and gratitude to his friend in the same room.
From the heart, Ah Fu also regards Fujin as his closest partner, because speaking of which, they are one person and one dog, and they are connected by the same fate. When I was a child, Ah Fu couldn't remember clearly, only I remembered, she lived in the firewood shed next to the tea shop, and the shopkeeper and his wife hung on their lips all day long, she was the child they picked up, and the grace of dripping water should be repaid by the spring, and when she grew up, she should do some work in the tea shop to repay them, so Ah Fu has had some strength since he was eight or nine years old, and all day long he is facing the dishes that can't be washed, the clothes that can't be washed, and the firewood that can't be chopped.
Fujin is a dog raised by the shopkeeper's son, and it was also picked up on the side of the road, and the shopkeeper's kindness was sent, so he let it live with Afu, and named Fujin, the same as Afu, are all "Fu" generations, and their same generation, as well as the white cat in the arms of the shopkeeper's daughter-in-law, who is as fat as a fat pig, called Fuyin. The white cat Ah Fu didn't like it very much, but felt that the white cat and the shopkeeper's daughter-in-law had been together for a long time, so he developed the same temperament, walking with his head held high, arrogant as if it was an untouchable cloud in the sky, and he didn't like to get along with Ah Fu and Fu Jin, Ah Fu felt that he didn't like it, and she was happy to be at ease, Ah Fu thought that Fu Jin must think the same way.
Now Ah Fu has reached the age of fifteen or sixteen, a few days ago, the most talkative Wang matchmaker in the village came to talk to the shopkeeper about Ah Fu's marriage, which made Ah Fu suddenly realize from the hard work of daily work, she is a girl, and a girl who has reached the age of marriage, and she wears these men's clothes that have been sewn and repaired for many years and are extremely ill-fitting, which has almost made her forget this fact.
Ah Fu has no parents, and he can't do his own marriage affairs, and he has to be raised by the shopkeeper and his wife, who raised her, and Ah Fu has a heart and eyes that day, and has listened to a few words with his ears sideways, which roughly means that the shopkeeper rejected the marriage that the king matchmaker said, saying that he was going to say that she would be a concubine to their son Dawei, so that after giving birth to a few children, he continued to do chores and wash in the tea shop.
This decision Ah Fu only went through it in his ears once, and he was a little unhappy, not that she didn't like Big Viagra, but that she felt as if marrying Big Viagra, her days like this would continue until she died.
Big Viagra is a warm and rough character, he likes to take Fujin to hunt in the mountains with a bow and arrows on his back, and he likes to tell some novel stories with Ah Fu when he comes back, but Big Viagra seems to be the same as the shopkeeper couple, who thinks that Ah Fu was born to wash and cook in the tea shop and chop wood, instead of also yearning to go to the mountains to explore and have fun, and meet some novel characters and things.
Counting, the only thing that counts as an easy part of Ah Fu's life is like Fang Cai, while sitting and working, while listening to the clever mouth, telling the rumors and stories about the Yan Shan Bridge over and over again, when I was fascinated, I heard about the god who fell for the suppression of the big demon, there was no reason, and I felt a burst of distress and pity, so Ah Fu often cleaned the tea shop around, and also took it, sweeping the Yan Shan Bridge again, and felt in my heart that the god was not in vain for the god king, if she was replaced, she would be reluctant to die here. Even, Ah Fu will also worry that if it is really as the legend says, a hundred years, three hundred years or five hundred years have passed, and the big demon suppressed under the Yanshan Bridge will break out of the formation, will there still be gods and men who sacrifice themselves to become a great avenue, if so, it can really be regarded as the greatest merit in heaven and earth.
The western sky gradually dyed twilight, the orange-red light spread on the Yanshan Bridge, the pedestrians who came and went re-picked up their burdens and carried their burdens away from other places, as the sky darkened, arched into a half-curved crescent stone bridge, sinking in the misty night, faint.
A star in the sky seems to be off track, dragging a long tail in the Taihang Mountains to slide, in the seclusion, the calm water under the Yanshan Bridge seems to be affected by some waves, gently swinging a circle of ripples, with the bank of the river a brown earth dog barked twice, the ripples slowly calmed down, and returned to a piece of tranquility.
