Chapter 4: The Rabbit God (2)
I mentioned a story about the rabbit god above, so why does such a strange thing happen to rabbits? In fact, the rabbit is a very spiritual animal, living in the deep mountains and old forests all the year round, as the growth years get longer and longer, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, it itself will become extremely cunning and weird. Little by little, it will learn human behavior, but it can't speak human words or express its own meaning, so it uses some means to make its own brain waves overlap with human brain waves, and uses human language to express what it wants to express. There is also a thing where people will make trouble with the rabbit god.
When rabbits learn this behavior, although it will not kill people, it is just a trick, but it seriously affects the laws of nature, and it disturbs the normal life of human beings. It's a perverse thing, so it's natural to be damned. So how did the rabbit suffer from the curse of God, and how did it escape it? In other words, how did the rabbit survive? Let me go through them one by one.
The story is still told by Liu Wuye's experience. At that time, Liu Wuye walked the street to sell his crafts, and when he was tired, he would find a nearby snack bar to rest, eat indiscriminately, and drink some wine to relieve fatigue by the way.
There is such a place, called Longmiaozi Village, this village is also the village where my grandmother's house is located, this village belongs to a large village in our local area, thousands of households, and there are markets, shops, and restaurants. So it has become a place where Liu Wuye often stays. At the northernmost end of the village there is a tall earthen beam, and there is a small restaurant under this earthen beam, and every time the fifth master passes by here, he will come in and drink a glass of soju. The restaurant is not big, only a dozen square meters, with two or three tables, and it sells home-cooked stir-fried dishes. This restaurant is run by a husband and wife, the man is in charge of the back kitchen, and the woman is in charge of the reception. There is also a seventy-year-old mother at home, although she is very old, she has sharp legs and feet, is not blind or deaf, and when she is busy, she will also work in this small restaurant.
It is said that in the summer of one year, the weather was dry and hot, and it was almost afternoon when the fifth master was busy with the work in hand. Coupled with the hot weather, Liu Wuye was already sleepy. After packing up the clothes, I went straight to this small restaurant in the north of the village.
When I arrived at the restaurant, because I was a regular customer, the proprietress was not polite when she saw Liu Wuye coming in: "Fifth Master, it seems that you are making a lot of money today, what's the matter, it's still the same as the third child?" ”
"Okay, the same three things don't change." The fifth master also spoke casually.
After a while, the proprietress came out with a small plate of fried peanuts, a glass of loose liquor, and a large bowl of chaos. All of them were placed on the table in front of the fifth master. At this time, the fifth master also glanced at the situation in the room, directly opposite the place where the fifth master was sitting, there was a small square dining table, and there were three people sitting around the table, looking at the face, not like the locals. Looking at the costume, he is also a person who runs life, and like Liu Wuye in those years, there are many people running around to live. I saw a few plates of stir-fried vegetables on the table, and I didn't seem to have eaten a few bites, but I just saw that there were several empty wine bottles scattered on the table, and there were a few empty bottles under the table, which seemed to be a lot of drinking. However, these three people are still pushing the cup to the cup, and they are talking very neatly, not like they have drunk too much. Liu Wuye usually likes to drink two sips, and he was also very surprised to see such a drinking battle, thinking that this is a lot of alcohol!
At this time, the proprietress came over, walked to the fifth master, squinted at the people with her eyes, and whispered to the fifth master: "It's not a person who has been drinking since noon." I ran out of wine in the restaurant, so I went to the store and bought another bottle, but it wasn't enough! ”
The fifth master also said: "It's really a long insight, and I can drink it." ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard a person at the table and opened his throat: "The boss lady serves the wine!" ”
The proprietress walked over helplessly: "A few big brothers, drink a lot of wine, I see it's almost over, let's eat more." ”
"What's the matter? I'm afraid we won't give you money for wine! Hurry up and serve the wine. Another man opened his voice.
Because the customer is God, and the small door doesn't want anything to happen, the proprietress suppressed her anger, "Okay, then wait a minute!" With that, he went into the kitchen.
When I entered the kitchen, I muttered to the man in charge, "What kind of person, how much have you drunk here?" I have to go buy alcohol. With that, he took a few dollars from a drawer and prepared to go out.
At this time, the old lady of the family came in, stopped her daughter-in-law and said, "Don't be busy, I have lived so old, and I have never seen such a drinker, and I am not drunk after drinking." ”
"It's not like that, I've been drinking for hours, and nothing happens." The man in charge also spoke.
After all, the old lady was old, and she felt that something was wrong when she lived at this age, and then said to the man in charge: "Don't be busy, go to the beam behind our room to see, is there anything different, it's not a way to go on like this." The man in charge nodded, put down his work, and went out through the back door.
Out of the back door, behind is the earthen beam, not too high, and there is a small path made of artificial, because the firewood stack at home is placed on the earthen beam, so usually walk. The man followed the path and climbed up the earthen beam. As soon as he showed his head, he looked at the flat ground on the earthen beam, and there was a flat stone slab in the middle. The slab is extremely flat, but not too large. I saw three big rabbits squatting around the slate, with gray fur all over their bodies, only the fur on their backs was slightly yellow. And on top of the stone slabs are a few irregular small stones. The three rabbits chattered to each other, some picked up small rocks and gestured, and some exchanged ears. It's like three people drinking a drink.
After reading it, the man in charge quickly shrank his head, and his scalp was numb for a while. It turned out that these beasts were doing the trick, and they couldn't complain about how the people in the restaurant drank and didn't get drunk, so they had to kill people, and they couldn't care so much when they thought about it. Picked up a lump of dirt and smashed it at the rabbits. Hearing a loud noise, the rabbits ran away. Only the smooth slate and irregular stones remained.
The man in charge patted the dirt on his hands, and then entered the house through the back door, and when he entered the house, he saw the three men who had just been drinking, and they didn't know when, lying under the table. Already drunk and unconscious.
Liu Wuye was stunned by the scene in front of him, and at this time, the old lady also walked in, and the man in charge told everyone about the scene he had just seen. The old lady nodded and said to herself, "That's right, it's these rabbits again." Then he said, "Why wasn't they all chopped to death?" ”
As soon as Liu Wuye heard what the old lady said, he also aroused his curiosity, so he asked what was going on. The old lady found a stool and sat down, and talked about what had happened the other day.
It was a few days ago, it was an afternoon, and it was very hot, and the old poisonous sun baked the ground as if it were on fire. In the afternoon, the weather changed suddenly, and in an instant a strong wind blew the sky and the sun, and the people could not open their eyes, followed by dark clouds, black clouds that seemed to press the earth, and made people breathless.
The old lady was taking a nap when she heard the sound of the hula wind, which woke her from her dream, and then the old lady got up and went into the courtyard, and saw that the scene was about to rain. I wanted to hurry up and grab some firewood and put it in the house for emergencies, because the summer rain is coming, and I don't know when it will be a head. At that time, in the countryside, wood was burned for cooking, and if it was rained, cooking would be troublesome. So saying, the old lady hurried to the back of the house, because the stack of firewood in the house was placed on the earthen beams behind the house.
The old lady turned the ridge, and suddenly there was thunder in the sky, click, click, click, one after the other. Speaking of this thunder is also quite strange, normal lightning flashes are flickering in mid-air, but today's thunder seems to explode on the ground, and has been around the front and back of the house, the old lady has never seen such a situation, and is frightened by the scene in front of her. As she spoke, the old lady climbed up the path of the earthen beams, after all, she was old and had a great time getting up.
After a while, he climbed onto the earthen beam. Above the earthen beam was the small flat field, and the stack of wood was just on the right side of the flat land. The old lady saw the stack of firewood at a glance. Suddenly, I found that on the flat ground next to the firewood stack, there were several very large rabbits standing. The rabbits were half-crouched like humans. And each rabbit has a piece of sanitary napkin used by women on its paws. At this moment, a bolt of lightning struck the rabbits, followed by a thunderclap. And the rabbits put the sanitary napkin on their heads at the same time, and the lightning passed by, and the sanitary napkin was taken off as soon as the thunder stopped. Then another lightning bolt struck, and the rabbit still pushed the bathroom to his head, as if he had thrown the lightning away, and the lightning flashed again.
The old lady had never seen such a battle, and she was so frightened that her mother shouted out. The rabbits also heard the exclamation of the old lady, and at this time there happened to be another lightning, and one of the rabbits was too frightened, so he scared off the sanitary napkin in his paws, and the lightning also struck at this time, only to hear a click, and the lightning hit the rabbit without a sanitary napkin impartially. The rabbit didn't even have a chance to struggle, so he lay down on the ground. The other rabbits fled in all directions. Only the corpse of the rabbit that was still smoking remained in the clearing.
The old lady was so frightened by this that she almost rolled off the earthen beam, and even rushed home with her crawling and taking it away, and when she arrived at home, she could hardly walk, and threw herself on the kang.
After the fifth master told me this, he still reminisced about those story scenes, and then said to himself: "Everything in the world has spirituality, people have humanity, ghosts have ghosts, monsters have strange ways, everyone has their own way. No one will bother anyone, but if either side does not follow their own rules, they will naturally not be able to escape the curse of doom. This is the law of nature, and it is also the principle of life between all things, and no one can escape from it, and no one can hide from it. ”
I listened to the words of the fifth master, and then nodded again and again and said yes.
Through these stories, I also deeply feel that in the natural world, everything is closely related and mutually reinforcing. We can't sacrifice the living space of the other party because of the survival interests of one party, and in the end we can only lose more than we gain, and we will also suffer corresponding retribution.
