After a heavy rain

The city is fresh

Who's home

Put a string of wind chimes

Hung up into a paragraph

Sad text

The breeze is blowing

In the jingle sound

It's you

It's messed up

The pool of my heart

Still is

Mother brought it

Far away

miss

……

——Zhang Mian, "Missing"

……

It was only in the evening three days later that Zhang Mian learned that Liang Xiaofei had taken the tiger bones of the man who sold the strong pills away.

The red-breasted man is a gritted tooth, and Gezizi said that it was the tiger bone of Jingyanggang.

On the night after the man who sold strong pills left, Liang Xiaofei called Zhang Xuan's fourth uncle to his home, bought braised vegetables, played liquor, and when he drank to his heart's content, he mysteriously took out the big bones from under the bed and wrapped the left and right layers of newspaper and put them on the table.

"What do you mean, what are you doing with a big meatless bone on the table?" The fourth uncle was stunned and asked puzzled.

"It's a tiger bone, the bones of a tiger on Jingyanggang Mountain." Xiao Fei's eyes lit up, and he said in a suppressed voice.

"Tiger bones? Are you kidding me. This is the cow leg bone, or the hind leg bone, my family has killed pigs and cattle for so many years, and I can recognize it with my eyes. ”

"Don't frame people, you take a look again, don't touch it with your hands, you can't afford to pay if you touch it."

"Xiaofei, you've drunk too much and I'm almost drunk, I'm going home, I'll invite you another day." The fourth uncle was a little unhappy and got up to leave.

"What's the anger, I'm rich and I can drink without you. You take a look at it again, pick it up and look at it, and help me take a good look. Xiao Fei immediately changed his face.

"No matter how you look at it, it looks like a cow leg bone, maybe I drank too much, or you can find someone else to take a look, I'm a little unsure now." The fourth uncle touched the bone and said to Xiaofei.

"Okay, my super uncle, I didn't ask you about this tonight, you must not tell outsiders about it."

"I'm not going to tell anyone, I'll invite you to drink another day." The fourth uncle and Xiao Fei talked a few words and went home.

Zhang Ming's fourth uncle's full name is Zhang Chao, he is the cousin of Zhang Ming's father, Zhang Ming's grandfather is the eldest and died when Zhang Ming's father was nine years old, Zhang Ming's father has five brothers and sisters, two sisters, and two younger brothers.

Zhang Chao has four brothers and sisters, two sisters and one sister. According to the ranking of the two brothers, he is the fourth, so Zhang Mian calls him the fourth uncle.

His profession is to kill pigs and cattle, and he is a second-generation butcher.

The fourth uncle did keep his promise and didn't tell outsiders, but told the fourth aunt that night, and the fourth aunt was not an outsider.

When the fourth uncle went to drink that day, the fourth aunt was unhappy, she really couldn't think of anything good that Xiaofei could do to find him, nine times out of ten it was to borrow money, and she didn't give the fourth uncle a good look at that time, because the fourth uncle liked to drink, so he still went.

"Why did Xiaofei invite you, but I asked you to borrow money?"

"Where do I have money, don't all the money be with you, when have I ever been a rich man." The fourth uncle complained with the strength of the wine.

"Over the years, you have given money to your two sisters, don't think I don't know."

"Don't talk nonsense, when will you see me give them money." The fourth uncle seemed to have been pinched in the sore spot, and his voice was a little louder.

"I'll settle this account with you later, Xiaofei will invite you to drink for no reason?"

"That's definitely not going to be, let me see a bone, he said what kind of mountain tiger is the bone, at first glance it is the hind leg bone of the cow."

"He has never seen a tiger, and if he can have tiger bones, he is really looking for you to see the bones."

"I won't do anything else."

"Sleep."

……

The next night, the fourth aunt went to Zhang Mian's house and told her about it.

"Xiao Fei really took away the tiger bones that sold strong pills." After listening to the story told by the fourth aunt as a joke, Zhang Mian immediately answered.

"What sells the tiger bones of Dianabol?" The fourth aunt asked suspiciously.

Zhang Mian recounted what he saw a few days ago, and because his mother was there, he omitted the part about his big mirror.

"Oh, Zhang Chao will definitely not be wrong when he says that it is a corbel bone." After the fourth aunt finished speaking, she sat for a while and left.

Zhang Mian's mother looked at the back of the fourth aunt in the distance and thought thoughtfully.

……

In fact, Liang Xiaofei and Zhang Mian still have some friendship, when they were selling strong pills that day, Zhang Mian wanted to greet him, but he didn't say hello when he felt that the occasion was wrong.

Liang Xiaofei got married when Zhang Mian graduated from elementary school, and he was in his early thirties at that time.

No one thought that Xiaofei would get married when he said he was married, and he also married a beautiful daughter-in-law. Before getting married, he put colorful ribbons on the roof of the cottage where he lived, put on flashing lights that only exist in the dance hall, and played Teresa Teng's songs on a tape recorder during the day.

This is a new thing in the countryside, and many children in the village like to come to his house to play, see his beautiful colored silk ceiling, listen to those soft songs that have never been heard, and of course the little boy also takes a look at his beautiful daughter-in-law.

There are a few children in the countryside who have seen their new daughter-in-law wearing leggings and being able to stretch a pair of long legs to the fullest.

At that time, rural people got married early, and when they got married, the girl became a woman, and she didn't pay attention to what she was wearing, as if everything had changed overnight.

Then it's even more magical, becoming a big sister in a week, becoming an aunt in a year, and killing the world's most magical magic trick in seconds.

When he saw his daughter-in-law in Zhangjia Village, the married man in the village felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, and the unmarried young man was itching.

"Do you know how I managed to trick your sister-in-law into getting my hands on it?" Once Xiaofei's family was alone, he said to Zhang Mian, who was listening to the song, that Zhang Mian was only eleven or twelve years old at that time.

"I don't know. The adults in the village all say that you have taken shit luck, and a flower is inserted in cow dung. ”

"They are jealous of me, let me tell you, your sister-in-law came to Zhangjia Village to catch the market and was taken by me, so I even coaxed her to this house and played a song to her, and when she listened to the song, I hugged her." As he spoke, he hugged Zhang Mian, startled Zhang Mian, and quickly broke free from his arms.

"She reacted the same way, and I told her that I liked her and asked him to look me in the eye, and she slowly stopped resisting, and I kissed her."

"Then she'll marry you." Zhang Mian's face was hot when he listened, but he still didn't believe it.

"Your sister-in-law ended up on the street a few more times, and a few months later, we got married."

"Does her family agree? None of the girls in our village look down on you. ”

"Her family agrees if they don't agree." After saying that, he laughed out loud, very proudly.

But Xiaofei didn't laugh for long, when his son was only two years old, his beautiful daughter-in-law ran away with Fengcheng in a long-distance bus.

There is no need for him to say the reason, Zhang Mian knows it.

Surely the driver also used Xiaofei's trick: hold her and let her look him in the eye.

……

Many years later, many people in Zhangjia Village said that Zhang Mian's fourth uncle had a large tiger bone, which was the tiger bone of Jingyanggang.

When Zhang Mian heard this, he immediately remembered the man with a red beard and a dark face who patted his chest shirtless on a winter afternoon.

Fei Fei stared intently at the bones and focused.

There is no need to guess what kind of bone it is.

……

Grandma said that the older the rivers and lakes, the less courage they have.

Zhang Mian wrote more than 90,000 words one after another, and the more frightened he wrote, Zhang Mian was stumped by the opening poem many times, after all, he was in his thirties, life taught him to be silent, and life also smoothed out his poetry.

On this rainy night, in the lonely south of the mountain, Zhang Mian turned on the radio as usual, hoping that he could be moved by a sudden song when he was writing.

Of course, he wanted to write a beautiful text that would impress readers he had never met.

The book will probably remain free forever, and I hope that readers who like it will give a tip with their left hand and another tip with their right hand.
