Chapter 1 Introduction
In the early years of the Republic of China, the situation on all sides was turbulent, and compared with the small town in a corner of the big place, it was much more leisurely. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Let's talk about a lot of strange people and strange things in the Republic of China, before the story begins, I want to introduce these three madmen, all of whom are as famous as their people, but when they come to him, they have become an unknown number, the three madmen are twenty years old, there are no strong muscles, and they are not handsome, if he doesn't humbly say it, there is still a bit of "posture", it is estimated that it is a blessing from the previous life, so that he has the opportunity to be born in a family with a bit of bookishness, Although I don't like that atmosphere very much, I can't talk about boredom, and it is estimated that it is also thanks to the influence of his parents that he can be regarded as a little bookish when he does not speak, but in his opinion, he is also quite ashamed, and always feels that he is ashamed of his parents if he does not learn and has no skills; The eldest brother has been deeply influenced by the family since he was a child, and he has a big belly at a young age, although the second sister is also a little bookish, but after all, the eldest brother has met almost all the expectations of his parents, so the second sister is a lot more lively, he is the third in line, and he is the youngest son in the family, so he usually has more freedom and arbitrariness, basically the things he doesn't like have been made up by his parents with a closed eye, so the results have always been like that, In addition, he often gets into trouble and ranks third, so people send him the nickname of the three crazy people, but who can not have a hobby! It was his hobby that gave me the opportunity to tell stories, no.
And say that the three madmen have a hobby that is so lively, as long as there are many people, you don't care whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, as long as there are many people, there must be no shadow of him, the story also starts from this lively, the three madmen were born in a small village in ancient Taiping County, there was no vision when they were born, if there is any, it may be that his old hen crowed in advance, Zhuangzi is at the foot of the mountain, so the sentence on his lips is often "Who calls us the descendants of the mountain!" ”。
It is said that there is a story in the hometown of the three madmen, it is said that after Li Tang pacified the world, there were often bandits in the mountains near Taiping County, in order to pacify the bandit rebellion, the general Chi Gong took the army to camp at the foot of the mountain and lived, and practiced every day, and most of the soldiers were men with strong blood, but every New Year, the drill still could not be relaxed, so there was a game called war drum beating; That is, select strong men from the army, and then divide them into several teams, each team will tie the war drum to the chariot after the number is equal, and start to run around several small villages in the radius with the drum as the number, the war drum can not be stopped on the way, and the chariot is the same, the first to return to the camp is the winner, so that it is to have fun with the people, the second is to raise the military prestige, and then the bandits are eliminated, but this war drum is handed down. Although today's war drums may not be as brilliant as those of the past, this has indeed become the most lively event in Zhuangzi at present.
The three madmen are thin and weak, and they are not tall, so under normal circumstances, he can only be a bystander, although there are some regrets, but after all, he knows his own body and bones; Without that diamond, he would not dare to work on porcelain; He has a small hair called stone, compared to him is a heaven and an earth, the stone body is strong, like a wild bull, this war drum is a frequent visitor, from the stone eighteen years old almost every year in the drum competition is indispensable to his figure, because of the birthday of the three madmen on weekdays three madmen call him Brother Stone, speaking of this stone brother is going to mention a mouthful, not that he was born with a vision, but that he was angry when he was a child, generally other people's nicknames are given by their parents, But the nickname of the stone is his own pride; The small name of the stone has to start from when they were young, there is a land temple at the foot of the mountain behind the Zhuangzi, when they were children, they often had a group of children mixed up here after school, due to the turmoil of all parties in the early years of the Republic of China, and this small Zhuangzi was already strong, in order to be able to have the ability to protect themselves, the style of martial arts prevailed, their group of seven or eight-year-old children were even more obsessed with it, and when they played with each other, they often put the names of some moves on their lips, and they boasted about how powerful their kung fu was, and it happened that the stone was a full martial idiot, For these arguments every time he wants to gain the upper hand, but he is stupid, and he can't say others, after a long time, his heart is also holding a belly of fire, and finally one day a few people in a few words "provoked" the stone, the stone said that he could split the boulder, a group of children of course did not believe it, only these three madmen believed him, but of course the others wanted to confront the stone, and he had to split a stone for them to see, probably because he felt that he had said a big thing, and the stone was a little embarrassed at that time, But he still stood in front of a stone mill, tied up with a horse, and learned to comment on the posture of the book with a decent luck, only to see him raise his arm above his head and shouted, that is, he slapped his palm on the stone mill, only to hear a "snap" sound, the small hand of the stone fell on the stone mill with some redness, looking at the posture of the stone thought that the stone mill would be torn apart A group of people couldn't help but retreat a few steps, but the stone mill is still the original stone mill, without the slightest change, This coke is bad for the little guys with bad intentions next to him, but who would have thought that the stone grinder would slowly crack, and it is really cracked without boasting, and the three madmen are even more happy to dance, even the stone is a little disbelieving to look at his red palm, that is, since then, the nickname of the stone has been called until now, and the two people who are about the same physique have embarked on completely different paths, and even now no one knows what happened at that time, What is surprising is that the stone actually began to become strong after splitting the bluestone, and when he was a teenager, he was already able to break his wrists with a more adult man, and he did not fall behind, which may be regarded as the first strange thing that the three madmen saw, although this may be very small compared to what he saw in the future, but after all, it was also the first strange thing he saw with his own eyes when he was seven or eight years old, how could he not be impressed.
Speaking of this war drum beating, due to the evolution of a long time, the way of war drum beating is also more of a strong festival entertainment component, the rules have also changed greatly, due to the terrain of the village, the annual war drum beating is generally divided into two teams, with red and blue ribbons as a distinction, each team of nine people, and these nine people must be the village east and west of their respective candidates can not have crossover, the chariot is also replaced by the daily farm tools ox cart, ten people selected an experienced veteran responsible for driving, that is, to control the direction, Among the remaining eight people, two people were selected as drummers to stand on the car, beating drums and cheering, and the remaining six people selected two people as the rear hand, that is, responsible for pushing the cart behind the car, these two people will choose some weaker strength, and the last four people each have a hemp rope in front of the drum car to be responsible for pulling the car, when the war drums sound, the car can not stop, and can only be fast and not slow, unless the end is reached, otherwise it will make the whole village a year of fortune are depressed. In order to get that glory, everyone is proud that they can be one of them, and at that time, the countryside was closed to information, and there were almost no more opportunities to show themselves, so in order to win the favor of girls, this war drum beat became the best opportunity, so children of their age were proud that they could pull this drum car, because the drum was full of crowds everywhere, and the eyes of the old people along the way were full of praise and envy in addition to passion, The eyes of the girls to be married are full of spring, not to mention the children of a few years old, they all straighten their necks and hold their cuffs, hoping to grow up early, and they also go up to round their shoulders and sell their strength, beat those war drums, wait for everything to be ready and wait until the thirteenth or fourth day of the first month to listen to the sound of the drums.
"Stones! You said that you are so happy to have you on the drums of war every year, but on that day I saw how many beautiful little girls were drooling at you, and I was so jealous of the dead. The three madmen leaned against the drum cart, holding their cheeks and said in a stunned manner, it is estimated that the majestic helmsman in his mind has already been replaced by himself, intoxicated by the eyes of the people around him.
"Crazy, you can pull it down, just like your hemp rod, let alone pulling the cart, even if you get on the kang, you have to work hard! Yes! A meaty-faced teenager said with a bit of a sneer.
"Ergouzi, can you accumulate some virtue in your mouth, isn't it just two taels more meat than me? What's the use of having brute force empty? Isn't it just a cart. The madman said with some disdain.
"Three madmen! Don't be a fox who can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, I don't know how many times you've been jealous of my brute strength, but you want to pull, every year I look at us and get started, and I don't know how many times I've scolded my mother. The second dog rolled up his sleeves as he spoke, revealing his dark and strong little arms slightly provocatively.
"Cut! I'm jealous of you, you're really going to put gold on your face......" said the madman with some disdain.
"I think it's a complete personal attack, what's wrong with us madmen, isn't it just a little shorter, a little narrower shoulders, although he can't pick up his shoulders and can't lift them, but after all, we madmen rely on their brains to eat." The fat man said with affection on the side.
"You see that the fat man understands me!" The madman said proudly pointing at the fat man.
"Fatty, you are so beautiful to him, look at you like that, you are no better! Don't look at what you've become fat? Ergou said with a bit of anger.
"Ergou, why don't you say your name is Ergou?" The madman said angrily.
"Hey! Crazy man, I said, are you not in arrears? Ergou was a little angry and took a few steps forward.
"How the am I going to clean up?" Although the madman has average physical fitness, he is also a hard bone.
"I said why did our own people mess up first, and then the West Courtyard wouldn't be a joke." The fat man was persuading on the side.
But it is also strange to say, as soon as the two people in the West Courtyard were mentioned as if they had heard a spell, they immediately fell silent; The main reason is that although the village is not very big, there is a strange rule in the village, and the annual war drums must be divided into the east and west courts, that is, the east and west sides of the village, which makes it as long as the other party is mentioned, it is like eating gunpowder, and the east court wins the war drums every year, so although it is said that a village grew up, but the contradictions between the east and the west still often occur.
"Crazy, I heard that Uncle Seventh is a little unwell this year, and he may have to be replaced when the time comes for the War Drum Festival, have you heard of it?" The fat man said with some gossip.
"I didn't just hear about it, the seventh uncle said that he was surprised to see my bones, and he had strange bones, and he would be a man of the year in the future, and he designated me to replace him to dance the gods, you said that I had poured eight lifetimes of mold to stand on this matter, and you said that it would be great if I was asked to replace any of you to go to the drum car." The three madmen said a little unhappily.
"Uncle Seventh must be old, old and dizzy, otherwise how could he pick you." The second dog said in a weird way on the side.
"We all thought we were going to let the stone take its place...... But you're not bad, you must be a generation of gods when you change your clothes, haha. The fat man laughed as he spoke.
"It's not! Fatty, what do you mean by this, I can't beat the drum, forget it, don't you just dance a big god, is it more difficult than the drum, I won't be happy, master. The three madmen were a little displeased.
"Nope! That's not what it means. The fat man hurriedly explained.
"Alas, fat man, I understand, it's not too early, I still have to go to the seventh uncle to report, go first." If you don't give the fat man a chance to explain, the madman will long be gone.
"Hey......" Seeing the madman leave in such a hurry, the fat man sighed helplessly.
"Look! Fatty, what's so good about defending him, it's not cynical in the end. Ergou said ill-intentioned on the side.
"You're no better, and you're not happy every day." The fat man glanced at the two dogs and said retorted.
"You said that why did you still bite Lu Dongbin, and you don't know the hearts of good people."
"The dog is yourself!"
"Fatty, you're deliberately making a difference, aren't you?" Ergou said a little harshly.
"You're the one who finds fault! talked about a girlfriend in the West Courtyard, and see what kind of virtue you become day by day. The fat man said angrily.
"I said you were looking for a beating!" Ergou said and rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the fat man viciously, and the fat man was not easy to bully, so he loosened the button of his neckline and leaned forward.
"Alas! It's all there, the old city wall at the east gate of the village has collapsed, and Uncle Dong said to find a few people to clean it up. Just when the second dog and the fat man were fighting, the stone came out at the right time.
"Why did the walls collapse? It can't be the halfway point from my house, right? The fat man asked with some curiosity.
"Isn't that the part, I heard a few old people say that it may be that the frozen water from the heavy snow melted a while ago and soaked inside, but this old city has been so many years, and it is much older than our brothers and parents combined, and it is normal." The stone said seriously.
"I just said that a few days ago, I heard that there was a strange noise over there, and I thought it was haunted, so scared that I didn't dare to leave there for several days." The fat man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief
"Look how old you are, and you're so timid," Stone said to the fat man like an adult.
"Can you not be afraid? When you left suddenly at night, you heard movement in the wall, but after searching for a long time and found nothing, you said that you could not be afraid. The fat man explained seriously.
"You're suspicious every day!" Ergou said with a sneer on the side.
"Forget it! Let's go over and have a look first, I can't tell you what to say here. "The stone stopped an impending fierce battle just in time.
"I'll clean you up later?" The fat man glanced at Ergou angrily.
"You're still doing it, aren't you?" The second dog was slightly angry.
"Let's go quickly, Uncle Dong is still waiting over there." Stone hurriedly persuaded.
After listening to the persuasion of the stone, the two of them relented a lot.
