Chapter 32: Bronze

I really want to elaborate, except for the wine bottle in my hand that is iron or bronze, most of the other bowls and spoons are wooden.

After I drank the wine, I couldn't help but sip a few times to taste it, squinting and exclaiming: "It's sweet and delicious, like a sweet spring." ”

The fisherman laughed heartily, and told the boy to refill the wine, and said, "This thing is still very interesting...... he thought for a while, and said slowly, "More than ten years ago, the wine fairy found a group of monkeys in the woods, and at first he thought it was just for fun, and went to drink with the leader of the group of monkeys. Interestingly, the leader of the monkeys became addicted to alcohol and began to make his own wine! Ha ha. In fact, all things have spirits, this is nothing, but this monkey is not a learned wine-making technique, but knows how to make wine in his bones and in his mother's womb, and it is closer to the Tao that the wine fairy is looking for than the wine made by the wine fairy. ”

"The way of wine?" I asked.

The fisherman said: "Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature." ”

"Say the Tao Te Ching." Liu Songming continued, "'The predicate of destiny is sex; Spontaneous is the way; The meaning of the Tao of cultivation is ', from the "Book of Rites: The Mean". Liu Songming's expression was solemn, and his eyes were fixed on the fisherman.

The fisherman glanced at Liu Songming meaningfully, picked up the golden bird on the side of the case, and said with a smile: "It seems that I have a reason to agree." ”

Before I could react, Liu Songming had already stood up and taken two steps back to bow to the fisherman, and he sat back down on the table when the fisherman called him to get up.

The fisherman clapped his hands lightly, and there were boys and girls rushing in, and the violin, flute, and dancing performers were lined up.

"Come on, float again." The fisherman said in a loud voice.

With the fun, it's no longer appropriate to talk about anything. Liu Songming and I also drank frequently as the fishermen raised their glasses, and I don't know how long it took to get drunk.

When the eyes were drunk and hazy, the boys and girls retreated in order. In the pavilion in the distance, there were adult women holding the lute, hiding in the hanging bamboo curtain and singing a long tune that I had never heard before......

The fisherman got up and walked to the porch.

I saw birds and beasts coming around the pavilion, sitting or standing; Boys and girls brought out a lot of incense tables and placed plants with bright colors, and butterflies, bees, and dragonflies frolicked among the flowers......

When I tried to get up and look again, I shook two steps and got drunk.

I had an unusually clear dreamβ€”

The fat man and Ercui were discussing something on the ground, and I walked up to them and greeted them: "What are you doing?" What's the matter, are you two planning to change your thinking and contribute to the modernization of agriculture in the new era? Take these two broken hoes? ”

They ignored me.

The fat man explained to Er Cui: "Cui'er, I'm not bragging with you. I did see the wall carvings that Li Xiao and I saw in Taihang Mountain, and they were in our house. ”

Ercui rolled her eyes and said to the fat man: "It's nonsense to talk too much." Look at you, have you done anything serious since you got married? Don't you feel ashamed to eat your old man and drink your old man? ”

"Sensei, talk to me about something else." The fat man was a little stunned, "Li Xiao's bastard didn't know where he ran, he said he was looking for his grandmother, but now there is not even any news, he must have run away!" ”

"Keep your mouth clean!" Ercui said annoyedly, "No quality." ”

I found that Ercui and the fat man couldn't see me, but they still responded to the side: "Yes, this son of a bitch's mouth is really lacking in discipline." Master, I am still in deep danger now, why am I in danger? That's because of this fat man. Ercui, you're right. ”

Ercui continued: "People say: dragons look for dragons, phoenixes look for phoenixes, and shell mantis look for thin; Fish looking for fish, shrimp looking for shrimp, and turtles have to find Wang Ba. What do you think you're looking for? ”

The fat man wilted into a soft persimmon and said in a low voice: "Let's stop being idle and start working." Since digging his land with Li Xiao that day, I can think of this shortcut to get rich and become well-off. ”

I nodded, it seems that the fat man has been trained by me well.

Er Cui said sourly: "Li Xiao, Li Xiao, three sentences are inseparable from him." I don't think you should go with me, go with him. ”

The fat man teased: "Why is it also my brother." You're a man...... Why not be reasonable! ”

I stick out my thumb: good brother, talk about righteousness.

Er Cui waved his hand: "The next time I see Li Xiaode, I have to break with him, tear (say, say), you start digging." ”

"Please." The fat man kicked the shovel into the ground and stuck it, spat it and smeared it in the palm of his hand, and with a wipe of both hands, he picked up the back molars and began to dig into the soil.

When it comes to wall carvings, I think of the feathering trip about Zhu Qiyu that I saw in Taihang Mountain. A few months ago, I borrowed some materials from the internal library of the municipal department, and I learned that after the "self-seizure change", Zhu Qizhen was reinstated, and the ill-fated emperor abolished the "funeral" system. But what is the wall carving that the fat man lifted?

Driven by curiosity, I silently waited for the fruits of the fat man's labor.

I knew that I was in a strange space, I knew I was dreaming, but my mind was very clear, maybe it had something to do with the alcohol I was drinking? I don't know which time I was out running errands and drinking with someone, that person brought a bottle of good wine that was said to be offered internally, and I had this half-dream-awake experience after drinking, and I was not panicked at this time.

Ercui was cheering for the fat man on the side, and I also chatted with them and listened to some parents who were often mentioned by the two after marriage. It's not just them, it's also the boring mood of me chatting about nothing to do.

was separated from the fat man for less than half a month, and when I looked at him again, it seemed that several years had passed, and it could be regarded as a day of not seeing each other.

The fat man stopped planing, and saw that he had just dug out the burial pit, and this tossing took more than an hour, and at this speed, he didn't know when he would be able to see the thing he said.

I sighed with emotion, eager to go up and help.

Ercui looked at the loess that was still gray-brown, and said suspiciously: "Is this it?" Are you sure? ”

The fat man raised his head and wiped his sweat, gritted his teeth and insisted: "It's almost the same." This land is all given by the village, and it has not changed for decades, so it will definitely not be able to run out of this range. The fat man drew a circle around his body with one free hand.

I took a sip of the fat man, and he could be blinded by his words, and this circle enclosed the whole piece of land.

At this time, Ercui didn't seem to be able to sit still, so he called the fat man to the side to drink water, and replaced it himself. The fat man was naturally quite a man, and after pouring a few mouthfuls of water, he took the iron drill from Er Cui's hand and continued to dig.

Time passed, and as the pit dug deeper and deeper, Ercui began to squat on the edge of the pit to help the fat man hand the soil with a basket, while directing the fat man's movements.

When I already felt hopeless, the fat man shouted, "Ercui, give me the hoe, there is a big hard stone underneath." ”

Ercui handed over a hoe according to his words, stood on the edge of the pit that was almost one person high dug by the fat man, and said, "You pay attention to safety, can you do it?" Don't be reckless. ”

The fat man looked up and smiled, "Wait." He swung the stone and found the gap he had probed, and smashed it with a hoe, and the hoe caught the edge of the stone, and the fat man began to pry it with all his strength.

When the fat man went down with the hoe, I saw that the edge of the stone was black and shiny, and the place where the hoe hooked the stone was flat and had an artificial 90Β° right angle, which should be a stone slab.

The fat man's first exertion had no effect, and he seemed to notice something unusual, so he leaned down and cleaned the corner of the hoe with his hands. The fat man's face was beaming with joy, but as he cleaned the slate, his face turned cold again.

"Damn, I don't know how big this thing is. It's definitely bigger than the pit I dug. ”

The slate cleaned out by the fat man was unusually black, as if it had been smoked by fire countless times, and a handful of hands were black when he touched them, and he couldn't rub them off.

"Weird, what the hell is this!" The fat man shouted to Ercui to sprinkle water on his hands, but he still couldn't wash it after washing it a few times, and said ruthlessly, "No matter, dig it up first." ”

The fat man was furious, and began to feel the edge of the stone slab and began to dig the earth.

When the ground here is about a meter deep, the soil will be sticky and tight, and it will be a little wet, and the fat man will quickly let him touch the whole stone slab up and down.

The slab is square in shape, about the thickness of a palm, and is black throughout. Although the fat man tried his best to turn the slate, it was still a little reluctant for his strength. But the situation has reached this point, and even a fool can see the abnormality.

The fat man said decisively: "Cui'er, go and call my father, and ask him to call the second uncle, the fourth uncle, the fifth uncle, and then call our brother Xun, Brother Dong, and Brother Wunian ......."

Ercui frowned and nodded: "You come up first, this thing is so black that I feel like the light has been sucked into it." ”

Ercui stretched out his hand and dragged the fat man, and the fat man reached out and grabbed it, kicked two holes high and low on the edge of the dirt pit with his foot, and planned to climb up with the strength of these two holes and Ercui. The fat man grabbed Ercui's hand with one hand, stepped on a hole with one foot, and reached the edge of the hole with the other hand. His plan was good, but the surface of the soil was soft and easy to collapse, and as soon as he took it off, the center of gravity of his body leaned back.

If it weren't for the fact that the fat man still had a heart, he let go of Ercui's hand the moment he took it off, he was self-aware, and knew that his weight and strength could easily pull Ercui into the pit together.

The fat man fell, Er Cui only opened his mouth "ah", and with a loud "bang", Er Cui was blown back several steps by a sudden wind.

When Ercui almost fell on his back with his head back, I saw the fat man fall and hit the black slate, and the slate instantly cracked into several pieces, and fell into the black hole under the slate with the fat man.

"Fatty!" I shouted.

I saw the fat man stand still on the black hole for about a second, and the fragments of the black slate floated up half a meter high before they all fell into the hole.

"Justice!" Ercui stood dangerously at the mouth of the pit, subconsciously took a small step back, opened his glasses wide and shouted into the cave, "Cao Zhengyi!" ”

This hole is bottomless and black, I hope the fat man is okay. I thought for a second whether I should jump down to see if I did, but if I did, maybe my dream would be over. I had no choice but to try not to do anything, just to watch the dream in front of me.

Ercui couldn't respond to the fat man's greeting several times, and he didn't see anyone from a distance, so in desperation, he hurried back to the village to call someone.
