Chapter 3 Corrupting the Family Style
Bypassing Youlong Town, we inquired about the whereabouts of Liujiagou, so we hurried to Liujiagou, Liujiagou is located in the north of Youlong Town, close to the Jiulong Mountain not far away, Jiulong Mountain is majestic, the fairy atmosphere is dense, look at it from a distance, such as nine dragons lurking in it, it can be called unique, and the creation is extraordinary!
However, the Liujiagou as far as the eye can see, is separated by a river from Jiulong Mountain, the land here is barren, the traffic is very inconvenient, the only thing that can make people fortunate is that the scenery here is unique, although there are no towering trees, but it is also red flowers and green fruits, full of vitality, where is it like the season of winter?
Walk across a small stone bridge, into the eye is Liujiagou, just because of the village entrance roadside, erected a red broken monument, with vermilion lacquer carved Liujiagou three big characters, but I don't know how many years of wind and sun, vermilion lacquer has been slightly degenerated.
In any case, there are some antique and simple folk customs, which linger in the village of Liujiagou.
Three or five-year-old children, seven or eight-year-old boys, playing in twos and threes in all corners, while a group of plainly dressed villagers are also sitting around the stone platform at the entrance of the village, chatting bustlingly about their parents' shortcomings.
Seeing Master and I walking forward, the villagers slowly stopped and stared at us suspiciously.
"These two people, old and young, dressed in tatters, and so weird, what are they doing?"
"Who knows? Recently, there are always some strange people coming to our village, but judging by their dress, they don't look like begging ......."
"Huh? If you want to go into the mountain, bypass the small stone bridge in front of you, turn north, and cross the Xiaoqing River to go up Jiulong Mountain. ”
The last person, a young man in his twenties, said to the master with a little respect.
"Huh!"
The Master smiled and stroked his beard, went up to find a clean place to sit down, and said, "Young man, we will not go into the mountains. ”
"Old man, don't you go into the mountains?" The young man looked at the villagers on the side in astonishment, and the villagers also gathered around curiously, and then the young man asked, "Old man, are you here to visit our relatives in Liujiagou?" ”
"Relatives?" I was stunned, obedient, and going to relatives seemed to mean going to a relative's house as a guest, well, it should mean that.
Of course, this is the local vernacular, and I can only understand it.
"Hahaha! Young man, I really let you say, we are two masters and apprentices, and we are really here to visit relatives, but we haven't moved around for many years, and I'm afraid my relatives don't know each other! Master laughed, and took off the wine gourd and poured two sips.
"Brother, you're joking, since you're a relative, where is the reason not to admit it?" An old man in his fifties, smiling and continuing to talk.
"Yes, yes!"
The young man smiled heartily: "We are poor here, but the people are good, and there are many relatives, but they are all poor relatives, hahaha!" ”
"Hahaha......"
I was amused by the young man, and the master and I also laughed with the others, so that the villagers didn't recognize us anymore, and one by one they surrounded the master and asked long and short questions, where the family lived, and which family and which family in this Liujiagou were relatives, and said that they would help to inform them, and more enthusiastic villagers invited us to their house for lunch.
After a familiarity, it is indeed warm in people's hearts, although the mountains are poor, but the hearts of the people are not poor.
"Let's ......" Master suddenly glanced at me and asked in a low voice, "What's that house called?" ”
"Oh! Liu Ren, Master and I are here to go to Liu Ren's house in your village. With that, I smiled and nodded to the villagers.
"Buzz!"
“…………”
Suddenly! When I heard the name "Liu Ren" come out, the surrounding villagers scattered as if under a spell, except for an old man and a few young men, who looked at us with indifferent faces.
"What? Liu Ren squatted in the 'Bajin Building'?! Master's fiery temper suddenly rose, jumped up, and shouted with a big grin.
However, it was the first time I had heard of the "Bajin Louzi" that Master said, and it wasn't until Master explained to me that I realized that this is also a Henan dialect, which means squatting in prison, and the so-called "Bajin Louzi" does not have this word, but is just a local dialect, perhaps a small black house that is impermeable on all sides.
Local customs, generally avoid talking about people in prison, one is that the offender is his own villager and out of respect, and the other is afraid of getting himself involved in right and wrong, so when I mentioned Liu Ren's name, the villagers dispersed in a hurry, and the master said a funny thing accordingly, but the master's face obviously did not have the smile that should be fun.
"That's fine, but what's the name of their shameless bitch? Alas......" The young man glanced disdainfully into the village, and then sighed.
"Xiaoguang, Liu Ren is your cousin, you pay attention to what you say!" The old man who was smoking a dry tobacco pouch on the side glanced at the young man and said slightly angrily.
"I don't have that kind of spineless cousin, and I can't see that girl's ugly deeds!"
The young man, known as Xiaoguang, flew up and kicked on the stone bricks, and scolded angrily.
"Yoo Ren is your cousin? Then why do you say such a thing?! The master saw the person who had to understand etiquette, and immediately asked unhappily.
"Do you still need to talk about this?!"
Liu Xiaoguang said aggrievedly, and then lowered his head...... "He Liu Ren is an old man, it's really embarrassing, I actually married a girl who ruined the family style, stealing men doesn't count, she is dead and slippery, this kind of woman, it's really shameless!" ”
"Shut up!"
Master Huo Di stood up, blew his beard and stared at Liu Xiaoguang with eyes, which scared Liu Xiaoguang so much that he was shocked, and then, Master shouted loudly: "Anyway, you are all cousins and cousins, relatives of the old family, how can you say this about your own family?!" It's a bastard thing! ”
The so-called old family is also a local vernacular, simply put, it is a member of a family, a sprout of roots, Liu Xiaoguang's father and Liu Ren's father may be brothers, or cousins, in short, counting from the previous generation, they are close relatives.
Generally this is calculated, but endlessly, but folk customs have an invisible limit, once out of the five dogs, it is not considered a close relative, five dogs is separated by five kinds of family relationships, beyond the five kinds of family relationships, and can not be connected, even if it can be connected, it also depends on the degree of density of each other's movements, in ancient times there were three tribes, five tribes, nine tribes, the legend of the extermination of the nine clans, that is, the relatives across the nine layers of family relations have to be destroyed, so it is a big number, even the surname is lonely, one time can destroy a surname, That's pretty much it.
"Who are you? It's not your family's business, do you care......" Liu Xiaoguang glanced at the master angrily, but was pulled by the old man on the side.
"Huh? You bastard, you owe a beating, don't you?! ”
The master instantly rushed in front of Liu Xiaoguang, and Liu Xiaoguang was so frightened that he ran away.
"Xiaoguang, you kid, your speech is getting more and more out of tune!" The old man who smoked the dry tobacco bag stood up, hooked Liu Xiaoguang's collar with the dry tobacco bag, stepped forward and scolded: "Quickly make amends to the old gentleman, it's really not big or ......small."
"Old man, I know ...... mistake" Liu Xiaoguang lowered his head very impatiently, and made a compensatory to the master, so, the master just blew his beard, and did not take a step forward, I am very happy that the master will reward Liu Xiaoguang with a chestnut, I don't know if Liu Xiaoguang can bear it.
"You blatantly said that your cousin-in-law stole men, is there any evidence?!"
The master was unyielding, and continued to ask Liu Xiaoguang, I sweated for a while, as if this had really become a matter of the master's family, which made Liu Xiaoguang and the old man cringe for a while.
"Who doesn't know that the old in the north of the village has been a bachelor for most of his life, and he wanders around the village all day long, and he must have hooked up with the old!"
Liu Xiaoguang was aggrieved, lowered his head, and still stiffened his neck and said, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
"Iniquity...... Iniquity......"
The old man who smoked a dry tobacco pouch, after hearing Liu Xiaoguang's complaint, kept shaking his head, sighing, but he couldn't say anything anymore.
