Chapter 28: Three Flowers and Five Flowers
I was really stunned for a moment when I said this, and if it was so serious, it slipped out of his mouth directly, as if it was as simple as "how do you know that I haven't been sick!" ”
I don't want to ask him any more about his life and death, because most of him can't say it, and even if he does, I don't necessarily understand it.
Meeting him made me understand a truth, some things are big things in your eyes, and it may be a piece of cake to change to others, just like someone has long understood life and death, but you are still seeking the elixir of immortality.
There are different people in the world, normal and abnormal, we are those who are normal, born under the expectations of our elders, grown up under the care of our parents, studied and employed, married and had children, born and old, sick and died, the rural ones will be buried in their own tombs like my uncle, and the city will be cremated and go to the cemetery, and after many years, they will be completely forgotten by future generations and become a puff of dust.
I'm a little sad that for those of us who are normal, life is such a fragile thing.
And the young man in front of you, you can't understand him with the trajectory of ordinary people, just like I don't know anything about him, and what I know is limited to his age and those great deeds on his body.
The young man snuffed out the cigarette butt and handed me the thing he took out of his pocket, which I knew, was a string of "Five Emperor Money"!
Five round copper coins are tied together with red threads, and the order of Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing is in turn, just like a decorative pendant, and I can't see anything special.
"Take it, didn't you just say that I bought something with my life? I'm telling you, what is this thing? ”
"Huh?" I looked at this extremely ordinary thing in my hand, and thought in my heart, this thing is available in many ordinary people's homes, and it is used to avoid murder and the like, can I exchange my life for it?
"This thing? Is it easy to make? "When I was a child, I had this thing at home, and then I didn't know where I lost it, and I knew it would be useful, so I kept some of it, and I could sell it for money when I made it.
"I don't believe it! Give it back to me if you don't believe it! "He wanted to take it back.
"Believe, of course I believe, the last time you gave me Xiaodou, I really don't know what it is, or I won't just throw it away, I will definitely put it away this time! However, remember to keep your little bean with pee bubbles for me! ”
"No problem, when the flavor is strong, you can take it out and use it!"
"Forget it then!" I pursed my lips and looked at the string of things in my hand, "Why do these five emperor coins work?" ”
"What is an emperor? The emperor is the most positive person in the world, and the five emperors are connected together, of course, it is even more powerful, don't worry! With this thing to protect the body, those evil spirits can't get in. ”
After he said this, he glanced at the sky, "It's not too early, let's hurry up!" ”
The big mountain behind our village is called "Lizi Mountain", it is called because there are many stones on the mountain, there are few flat roads, this mountain is a branch of Changbai Mountain, people who have been to the Northeast know that the mountains in the north are tall and mighty, the mountains are very dense vegetation, there is no place to go down, let alone climb, but although these mountains are steep, but the products are very rich, in the early years, there are always people who die because of the mountain medicine.
This is also an important reason why I am very reluctant to walk on the mountain road, in case I roll down the mountain, wouldn't it be more auspicious, of course, he can't listen to this.
I walked with the lad one after the other, he took the lead, and when I broke off, he swung his short knife in front of him, cutting down the vines and weeds that stood in his way, so that I could be more relaxed in the back, but he had a lot more effort than I did.
After about two hours of marching, I proposed to sit down and rest for a while, and I didn't walk on flat ground for so long, and it was even more difficult to climb up.
The young man had beads of sweat on his forehead, and I knew that his physical exertion was not small, "Alright then, let's sit down and eat something!" ”
"Done!" After he said this, I thought about it, what are you eating? We came straight from the mountains, and he didn't even ask me to say goodbye to my parents.
"I said it! Before you come, you should go back to the village and go to the commissary to buy some bread, ham and sausages, you can pour it and go straight up the mountain, what can you do if you are hungry now? I said grumblingly.
"You buy those things, and you can eat for a few days, you are young, you haven't experienced anything, we people, have never regarded eating as a difficult thing, if you are in the city, the restaurant has it, if you are in the mountains, self-reliance, just use local materials!"
Hey! He really thinks of himself as a grandfather, and he is still preaching here.
"Then you say, how to get the material?" The mountains and forests in the northeast are not like those in the south, and you can find some wild nobles or something, but there are no fruit trees here.
"Have you ever heard of 'Three Flowers, Five Luo and Eighteen Sons'?"
"No? What does it mean? Eighteen Arhats! "I'm guessing if he's talking about the Buddhist term.
"No, no!" He shook his head and tail there, like an old pedant, "The so-called 'three flowers, five Luo and eighteen sons' are the most famous fish in our northeast. ”
"What's that? It's the first time I've heard it called! ”
"The so-called 'three flowers' refer to the flowers, bream flowers, and crucian carp flowers, which are some precious fish, which can only be eaten in large restaurants in the city. And the 'five luo' refers to Zheluo, Faro, Yaluo, Huluo, and Tongluo, which are more precious than the 'three flowers'! ”
"Why?"
"'Sanhua' is available in the north and south, but 'Wuluo' can only be eaten in the northeast!"
"Oh, I see, does the 'eighteen sons' refer to eighteen kinds of fish, tell me quickly." Since I was a child, I have heard of carp crucian carp, and I only know what fish yellow croaker in the sea, this is the first time I have heard of the name of "three flowers, five Luo and eighteen sons".
"As for the 'eighteen sons', it does not refer to the eighteen kinds of fish, but to the abundance of products in our northeast, what islands, all the seven stars."
"I see!"
He cut a long branch from the poplar tree, and removed the thinner parts of the ends, leaving only two thicker branches.
"What are you doing?"
He didn't answer me, but sharpened the end of the branch with the short knife, and in a few moments he was ready to make the tool.
I see, he's making a fork for a spearfish.
He handed me the fork and said, "Alright, let's go catch the fish!" ”
When the young man made the tools, my heart was full of bottomlessness, I guess he had to give me this work, with my skills, do you do this?
I took the fork and said, "Don't blame me if you can't eat after dark!" ”
"Go ahead! Young people have to go through the experience! ”
Cut! Without him arguing much, I know it's useless to argue.
There is a small river about a mile ahead, which is a tributary of the Songhua River, which is rich in Chinese fish, which is the Yaluo mentioned above. According to him, this Yaro is difficult to catch and perishable, and if someone catches it, it will be addicted to it, and few people on the market will eat it.
When I came to the edge of the river, I rolled up my pants and took my fork and went down into the river, after all, it was August, and although the mountains were a little cool, the water temperature was not too low.
After a while, some fish with snow-white bodies, slender bodies, and a length of more than ten centimeters swam over.
I quickly held my breath and aimed all my strength at the larger ones and forked them down, but I didn't catch them.
After about half an hour, I still found nothing, and it seems that my pen hand is really not very accomplished in fishing.
I wanted to go home, but I was afraid that he would laugh at me, and his disdainful eyes really made me not flattering, so I tossed for more than an hour, and finally had some gains, I put the four or five Chinese fish I caught in the grass by the river, which was regarded as a breather.
The sound of Sasha was remembered in the woods, as if something was shuttling through it, and I subconsciously glanced at it, and thought that I should leave with the fish, the young man must be hungry by this time.
Just as I was about to pick up the fish, I heard a loud roar and picked up my fish and stuffed it into my mouth!
A large black lump in front of me directly blocked my eyes, and I saw a big bear!
