Chapter 11: The Drunken Sword Hits the Road
The little fat man swayed, foraging for food, and tasted all the things he wanted to eat but had no money to buy in the past. After a while, the sun slipped down, and it was dusk, and gradually it was getting dark. The little fat man stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, and walked towards the cemetery.
When he arrived at the cemetery, he went into the house and put down the large bag of food he was carrying on his back, fearing that the bottle of good wine and the scabbard would be full of oil from eating, so he first went to the bedside and put these two things away, and then sat down at the table to eat, and waited for the sword to come. There was no moonlight tonight, and the moon hid behind the clouds, revealing only a hazy halo dotted with a few small flashing stars. But it doesn't matter, the important thing is to have a table to eat, and for the little fat man, this is a fairyland on earth.
Until the little fat man burped and became sleepy, he didn't see the sword coming. The fat man doesn't know what time it is, there is no such thing as a watch at that time, generally during the day to see the tilt of the shadow of the tree, roughly judge the hour, it doesn't matter at night, drink if you are not sleepy, sleep when you are sleepy, you don't need the concept of time at all, look at the sky, look at the shadow of the tree can not see what time it is, you can only listen to the person who beats the time. The little fat man is in the cemetery, deserted, no one plays the watch, and I don't know how many days it is, so I feel sleepy, and it may be quite late. However, he still had to wait for the sword, and he couldn't go to bed to rest, so he lay on the table and squinted for a while. When I was lying on my stomach, I felt cold in the back of my head. The little fat man looked up and said, "Eh! Come as you come, don't make it bad. A sword floated in at the door, and said, "I heard that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and that you will not wake up if you fall asleep." ”
"Less of this!" Fat man eating your meal? Old insult fat man! Hmph, hateful! But this fat man really eats other people's food, and when he gets that piece of gold, he eats it beautifully. When the sword came in, he "sat down", and the little fat man got up and scooped up the water, washed his face and woke up his spirits, and walked back, passed the table, went to the bedside, and brought the wine and the scabbard: "You see if this will work." ”
"Oh, hehe, good wine, good wine!"
"Do you want the scabbard? Don't let me throw it away. ”
"Don't make a fuss!" The sword said, "I'll talk about the scabbard in a moment." Come on, come on, don't delay your efforts, pour wine, pour wine! ”
The little fat man opened the wine, the sword jumped up and down, and took the initiative to put the sword edge to the mouth of the bottle, which amused the fat man, carrying the wine bottle, but not pouring the wine down.
"Don't make a fuss," the blade shook, "be careful that I hack you to death!" ”
"Oh oh, good! Hahaha, don't worry......" The little fat man slowly tilted the bottle and poured the wine onto the tip of the sword, and the sword was motionless and tasted the wine.
After pouring half a bottle, Jian hurriedly shouted, "Stop, stop!" The little fat man straightened the bottle. The sword slashed back, and he "lay" on the bench, sighing: "Good wine, good wine!" Keep some and drink it when you're hungry. "Then it didn't move. The little fat man walked around the small bench and looked at the sword that was "lying".
"Hey, hey! What are you...... Half in the bag? Feed! Speak! The little fat man screamed a few times, but the sword did not answer, and it seemed that he was drunk and fell asleep. The little fat man came close to listen, and said in his heart, "Do you say that the sword will snore when he is asleep?" But I didn't hear a sound.
"Hey...... Is this scabbard going to work? You didn't say anything, just drank wine, and now it's all right......" The little fat man muttered to himself.
After squatting and looking at it for a while, I didn't see the sleeping sword turn over and change to a sleeping position or something, the little fat man held the hilt of the sword, picked up the sword, and didn't feel the slightest movement of the sword, so the little fat man inserted the sword into the scabbard.
The fat man took the gold nugget, not for nothing, and promised to do the sword a favor. One man and one sword discussed: it was enough for him to eat, he had to buy him wine, and he had enough to drink; In addition, the white scabbard was undoubtedly prepared for this sword, and the sword was put into the scabbard to hide from the sun in order to go out. The fat man took this sword, and his first stop was to go to Luzhou.
After saying that, the sword will come to him tonight, and then he will go on his way. Now, the sword is coming, but after drinking, it doesn't move. The fat man looked at it, and it seemed that the sword would not wake up for a while, but he still had to do what he had promised. He put away the things on the table, carried the food on his back, took the wine, and walked out of the house with his sword on his hand, and closed the door.
The cemetery, then it has to be the suburbs. The little fat man walked out of the cemetery, cold and deserted on all sides, and the hazy moonlight shone on a bloated figure on the ground. The fat man walked up the mountain alone, and he had to go up and down the mountain, and he had to climb a mountain before he could continue to Luzhou. "Over a mountain" is said to be easy to do, from a distance I feel nothing, a mountain seems to be very small, once you enter the mountain, you will find that people, is really very small. The fat man has never been out and doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and in the middle of the night, he entered the mountain alone, carrying a large bag of fragrant food behind him, and he didn't think about whether he would attract jackals, tigers and leopards.
As soon as I walked into the mountain, there were towering trees on all sides, and any small grass under the trees was taller than a person. When a person is in the mountains, he is as inconspicuous as a tuft of grass in the mountains, and can only be regarded as a drop in the ocean. The little fat man walked on open ground, and after walking for a long time, there were more trees, and he couldn't find a way to walk, so he could only trample down the grass as tall as a person, and open a way to go forward by himself. After stopping and resting for an hour, I was walking to the top of the mountain. The little fat man found a mound and sat down, reached behind his back and grabbed a lump of meat from his bag to replenish his strength, no, it was purely a gluttony to eat. Biting the meat and licking his fingers, just like this, no matter what he eats, others always feel so fragrant when they look at it. While eating, I heard the sound of suona, and then I heard the sound of gongs. Listening to the sound of music and music is festive, but it is the atmosphere that only exists when welcoming relatives. The little fat man hurriedly hid his bag, lowered his body and half-squatted to hide behind the mound: he could hear a lot of rumors - if the desolate place in the middle of the night is lively and festive, most of the people carried in the sedan chair are female ghosts!
The voice was getting closer and closer, and the fat man was hiding with his head shrunk, but at this time he was really curious, and quietly showed half of his head: Huh! It's a magnificent eight-lift sedan chair! How do you know that it is a big red sedan chair that is carried by eight people, two pairs of front and back, a total of eight people are carrying the sedan chair. Wrong wrong! The sedan chair was carried by eight women! Sweeping up and down, the woman with a weak body carried the sedan chair, her body was as light as a swallow, her face was beaming with joy without the slightest tiredness, she was wearing a white dress, and her steps were gentle, and she walked forward effortlessly.
"Isn't this what the hell?!" The little fat man was shocked, for fear of being ...... Noticed by the ghost, he slowly turned around, leaning his back against the mound, not daring to take another look.
Usually listening to the sound of music, people come over to see who is doing a happy event, followed by the excitement, but also a little joy, at this time the fat man only hopes that this voice will go away quickly, the farther away from himself, the better!
Looking forward to it, the voice became louder and louder, and listening to the sound, it gradually approached his right ear, so the sedan chair came from his right. Listening carefully, the sound heard by the left and right ears was just as loud - the little fat man's heart jumped to his throat: this means that the sedan chair is directly behind him! He was facing away from the sedan chair, trembling with fright, but he didn't dare to look back! When the sound heard in the left ear is louder than the sound heard in the right ear, it means that the sedan chair has passed here, and the little fat man can't wait to cover his right ear and lie to himself that the sedan chair has passed. Suddenly, the music stopped, and the little fat man couldn't hear anything, and there was a rush of blood in his body, and his heart beat like a drum. At this moment, a silver bell-like voice sang softly: "Out of yo ~ Fumen ~ blowing is a hundred birds and a phoenix \/ Blowing along the way ~ yes ~ Luan Feng Heming \ / Folks ~ Standing on the side of the road ~ Praise and praise \ / This said ~ new son-in-law ~ good character ~ that looks handsome \ / that said ~ new daughter-in-law ~ I am long ~ what a water spirit.... The villagers all praise ~ My son-in-law is good \ / I see it through the sedan curtain~ The shadow is more than enough~ I can't see it clearly! ”
The little fat man almost fainted halfway through it, as if someone was standing on the mound behind him and watching him sing to him.
"Oh my God," the little fat man wiped tears from his eyes, "let me go up here and make love to the female ghost?" I'm not handsome either, so let's let this big lady change someone who matches her, okay? "I was so scared that I wanted to cry but I didn't dare to cry. At this time, a woman's voice shouted: "Please accompany Lang Jun in the sedan chair." "How dare the little fat man respond? Resist in my heart: I'll accompany you as a ghost! …… Ouch, what a companion! After a while, another sentence came: "Please accompany the groom in a sedan chair." The fat man swallowed with difficulty, and kept saying in his heart: "It's not calling me, it's not calling me, it's not calling me, it's not calling me." A white shadow flashed in front of him, and before the fat man could react, the whole person rose up uncontrollably and flipped back, crossed the mound, and flew out. Seeing that his head was about to hit the sedan chair, he turned over again and landed smoothly in front of the sedan chair, only then did he feel that his left shoulder was being grabbed. Turning his head, the girl in white beside him who pulled him from behind the mound to the front of the sedan chair removed her little hand from his shoulder and smiled at him. The little fat man thought that he would scare himself to death at this glance, but he didn't expect the girl to have good facial features, and she looked more standard than the girls she usually saw on the street, but her face was pale without a trace of blood. Anyway, seeing that the appearance of the female ghost is different from what others have described in rumors, and it is even very good-looking, and the fat man is not so afraid.
The girl let go to the right side of the sedan chair and said to the sedan chair: "Big lady, take a look." The little fat man was facing the sedan curtain, and he had always been curious about what this one looked like. The maid doesn't look bad, and the big lady may not look good! The fat man stared at the sedan curtain, only to see two slender and slender fingers stretched out to hook the sedan curtain, and slowly opened a corner of the sedan curtain. The little fat man shook his head from side to side, trying to adjust the angle to see what kind of face he looked in the sedan chair, and he seemed more anxious than a ghost. The curtain of the sedan car was only opened one corner, and the sedan chair was dark, and the fat man had not seen the figure in the sedan chair, and the curtain had fallen...... To be specific: the one in the sedan chair came slowly when he opened the curtain, and he was quick when he lowered the curtain, as if the one in the sedan chair was frightened when he opened the corner of the curtain and glanced out, and hurriedly withdrew his hand.
Fat man: "Huh? "Yes. I heard a voice in the sedan chair say coquettishly: "It's really unlucky!" Let's go, this is ...... It's too greasy! ”
