When everyone heard a slight reminder from a grandmother, they thought of something that the countryside used to say. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info although I don't understand it, but then I heard what the adults said, and gradually I knew what was going on.

Legend has always been in the township that snakes hatch around the time every year.

Every year in the season of revival of all things. At this time, snakes generally wake up from hibernation. Just like many hibernating animals, they carry a year of filth and poison gas, looking for the same kind to mate and derive the next generation. And it is often at this time that the poisonous gas and filth on their bodies are the heaviest.

And now to see it in this abnormal summer season, it is obviously against the laws of nature.

In the eyes of the villagers, although there is not so much exquisiteness, there are all kinds of taboos about the way things live. Whether you usually see animals mating or accidentally see your own kind mate, it seems to be a very unlucky thing.

What's more, this is an abnormal season for snakes.

Generally speaking, the villagers have no culture, and they are very in awe of the literati and traditional culture. They believe that what the literati say is justified and worthy of belief. So the culture of these traditions is also the best preserved and adhered to the most thoroughly.

Therefore, everyone will naturally be in awe of the things that have been passed down from generation to generation, and now they suddenly see the phenomenon of snakes hatching each other, which is indeed a little unlucky. Everyone was feeling fun, but suddenly they felt a little uneasy.

Because people's imagination is very rich, after all, Zhuo Yi's younger brother Thin Foot has just died, and Xiaohua's father died in the compound, it seems that it has not been long after the first seven. It's something like this right away, and anyone can feel weird.

Everyone looked at Zhuo Yi's eyes, and it seemed that they had different meanings. Although I didn't immediately understand what it meant, I saw some women with broken mouths, and they had already started scolding Zhuo Yi, and the man yelled bad luck.

I don't know what these adults think, but when I feel curious, I come to join in the fun when I hear that it's weird, and when I encounter something, I immediately turn around. This may seem excessive, but it makes sense to the villagers.

That is, Zhuo Yi, an honest man, stood there uneasily, and suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Everyone looked at Grandma Yi, the words were said by her, and now it depends on what she will say. Who knew that the old man turned his hands behind his back, turned around and walked back. Her family's new house has been built on the big dirt road, and she doesn't usually come to the compound every day.

"Snakes hatch, take off your pants! If you don't believe it, there is no way out! Just when everyone was hesitant and helpless, she had already walked to the ridge over there, that is, behind her old house, she suddenly looked over again, looked at these people and said with a serious face.

All the big men and old men were shirtless, because it was the most poisonous scene of the afternoon sun. No one thought that it would be this kind of thing, and the person who didn't scold Zhuo Yi in public couldn't help muttering in his mouth.

There weren't a few women who came to see the excitement, because there were only a few people in the compound. On the contrary, it was the girls of the Wuyuan sisters who stood aside and were a little dazed. If you really do what a grandmother says, I'm afraid it's really embarrassing.

After being scolded by everyone, Zhuo Yi didn't know how to answer, and suddenly scolded himself in embarrassment: "With so much bad luck, dodge away!" Lao Tzu peeing! ”

Watching the lively people on the side, some people still don't believe in evil, and when they saw Zhuo Yi say this, they just found a step down, and dispersed with a coax. But these people are not all of them, and some people who believe in their grandmother's words stand there and don't know what to do.

I looked at Zhuo Yi and turned around and peed on a palm tree, although the villagers didn't care too much, it was a bit too sudden. I saw some people with smiles on their faces, others with frowns, and adults with unkind expressions, running back as soon as they smoked.

Naturally, I didn't dare to watch the excitement anymore, in fact, I was afraid that they would say about me.

I had some doubts about my grandmother's words, but I couldn't figure out what they meant, but I also knew that they weren't good words. When I came back to pack up my homework at the threshold, I wanted to go back to my room, but I saw my father back from afar.

He rarely came back in broad daylight on a normal day, and to my surprise, he didn't ride his usual mount, a permanent bike. is slowly coming from the stone road in front of Qiu'er's house, apparently coming back from the national highway.

I was still a little surprised to be happy, although my father rarely talked to me when I was a child, and didn't even take me out a few times, but this kind of family affection is still innate. I quickly put down what I was holding and headed towards the opposite path.

My mother went out to work and didn't come back, and I knew it when I got home. I'm glad to see my father come back now. I ran very fast, and when I came to Xiaohua's house, I picked up my father.

But my father didn't seem to be happy, and when he saw me coming, he didn't smile on his face. Still, he gently touched my head, but surprisingly didn't speak.

I was a little apprehensive and didn't dare to ask my father, but I knew that something must be wrong with him. As we walked back with him, he finally asked if my mother was at home, and I told him honestly that she had gone to the field.

My father didn't answer me at first, and when I arrived at the open space at the edge of the compound, I saw a few old people chattering and walking out of the corridor on the side of Huayuan's house.

They all nodded slightly when they saw their father, although their father was much younger than them, but at this time, the importance of workers was still extremely high. There was a smile on my father's face, and it seemed to me that his face was finally a little pale.

And these old people, some people greeted their father very kindly, to the effect that they naturally asked why they came back so early. I saw my father pause for a moment, his face a little uncomfortable, but he still replied that he had something to do when he came back.

Most of the old people are old people, and they are extremely good at observing words and feelings. What's more, most of these old people at that time were kind-hearted, and when they saw that my father didn't mean to continue, they immediately didn't ask again.

They continued to sit down on the wooden square, and no longer cared about my father's meaning, but whispered about what Zhuo Yi had just brought out.

When my father went back to the house, he asked me to go to my mother, and I saw that his face was not right, and I was very worried, so I ran to my grandfather's side as quickly as possible. First, he said that he went to the field to find his mother, and also told him that his father was back.

Grandpa also seemed to be stunned for a moment, seeing that I was a little nervous, and also told me to be careful of the pond on the side of the road behind me, and let me go out from the path behind the compound.

Grandpa's side of the room, along the direction of the corridor, there is a path to the back, you can go out to the back of our compound. Because this side is on the left side of the compound, of course, passing by the home of my little friend Huijiang.

Huijiang's family was also divided into the left at the beginning, because his uncle was also a worker and did not live in the village, so Huijiang's father Dafeng divided the left side, and behind it was his uncle Dianfeng's family. However, his uncle Shunfeng's family is still living in the village.

The family also built a red brick mixed mud brick house, which is not far from Yonghui's house.

Along the bamboo bush next to Huijiang's house, here is a small road paved with stone slabs, the path turns straight, all paved with bluestone, about more than 100 meters long. If you go out along this path, you will find a paddy field that was carved out during the era of the Great Movement.

In fact, near the compound, behind Huijiang's house and his uncle Dianfeng's house, there is a forest dominated by palms and ancient cypresses, which is said to be the back garden of the owner of the compound. The layout here and the place where Zhuo Yi found the two snakes just now, and the location of the lycium holly tree, are probably the meaning of one left and one right in the backyard of the compound.

Beyond the path, near my grandfather's wing, there was a large fig tree and a row of adobe brick utility houses. Today, the utility house houses pigs and cattle and other livestock, which are occupied by the residents of the compound.

This path extends next to the utility room, I didn't understand it at first, and then when I was bored, I speculated that this stone path should not be specially built, it should be the wall of the compound back then.

At some point, I asked my grandfather to find out that there was a reason for this bluestone path, as I had speculated. The rectangular stones, now smoothed, were really the cornerstones under the wall, but the wall was later demolished.

Walking out of this bluestone path, and then there is the paddy field behind the compound, one hill after another like terraced fields, although the terraced fields are not many, in fact, I feel quite good.

When I walked to the ridge, I suddenly remembered the snake that Zhuo Yi had just seen, and my heart was a little protruding. I walked very carefully, and when I came to the outside of the paddy field, there was a stone path here.

In the pond outside the stone path, many fish floated on the surface of the water due to the heat. This stone path is the one I walked through from the supply and marketing cooperatives after school, and it can be extended to the Yaoju Village next door. I didn't have the heart to look at the fish, but I saw my mother from afar.

When my mother came back, she hurried out of the house, and when I saw my father lying on the bed, I didn't dare to squeak.

It didn't take long for my mother to come back sweaty, but she took a rice bowl and filled half a bowl of cold boiled water, and then took out a yellow rune paper folded into a triangle and burned it. I watched in amazement as the burnt black ash melted into the water, and then my mother brought the bowl of water to my father to drink.
