Life meets like morning dew

It is difficult to see the long wind with the moonlight

No, the Tao is relatively speechless

Fate comes and goes, and there is no difference

There is a river to the south of our village, and when I was young, I didn't know what it was called, so the children called it the big river, and the adults in the village called it that, and over time the people on both sides of the river called it the big river.

The father of the second son is afraid of snakes and water, so when Grandma asked him to find someone to guard the South Road, he also pouted his teeth and said with a sullen head: "Grandma, I think the leader of this South Road is still your choice, I am dizzy about this water!" ”

After he finished speaking, even the village chief was happy, and he was surprised, these two sons have strength, and their bodies are also among the best in the village, and no one can compare their efforts to chop wood, but they are afraid of two things, one is a snake and the other is water, by the way, it should be afraid of three things, and they are also afraid of the second son, which is also the three fears that the people in the village have nothing to do, and summarize them for him.

Seeing the embarrassment of the second son's father, the grandmother didn't want him to feel bad, so she called the village chief to her: "Village chief, the second son's father doesn't have anyone in his heart, and he doesn't dare to call this person!" ”

The village chief took a sip of the cigarette that had just been rolled, took a deep breath, and the burnt yellow tobacco leaves exuded a sullen smell from his mouth and nose.

"You mean Lao Jiu, right?"

Grandma Tai nodded, "This kid is not social, and he doesn't mix in the big and small things in the village, just like his grandfather, but the water nature is also the same as his grandfather, which is incomparable to ordinary people." ”

"The mule of the production team fell into the river, he didn't help to catch it, you said let him go to the demons and eliminate the ghosts, can he go?" The village chief glanced at his second son's father as he spoke, and said in his heart that you kid is clear, no, this problem is now kicked to me.

"It's perfect to invite him to guard the South Road, that is, the waterway of the big river, but in our village, I think there is only one person who can invite him!" Grandma paused and looked at me.

"Do you mean let Yang Siye or glasses Liu?" As soon as the village chief heard the task of arranging the East Road, he couldn't come back to his senses all of a sudden, so he remembered Liu, who was guarding the East Road, and by the way, Yang Siye, the benefactor of the glasses Liu, also moved out.

"No, although the glasses Liu has a belly of knowledge, but Jiu'er is annoying to learned people, he is a baby who mixes on the river every day, how can he talk to glasses Liu!" As she spoke, she handed me a small round stool beside her and asked me to sit next to her.

"As for Fourth Master Yang, although he is well-informed and a bold person, the age gap between him and Jiu'er is too big, even if he has prestige in the village, that stubborn child may not give him face to the old man!" After Grandma finished speaking, she didn't say it again, which made the village chief anxious.

"No, I can't, it's not that I haven't dealt with him, and I haven't said three words to me in total, and besides, I look at that kid's eyes and I'm hairy, not to mention the second son's father, even I'm a little scared of him!"

Seeing that the second son's father and the village chief both thought of this person, and they both felt that they couldn't invite Lao Jiu, my grandmother touched my head sitting next to me and said, "Look, how about letting my eldest nephew go?" Before I could speak, my grandmother immediately stopped: "Old lady, it's not good, he's five or six years old, and Xiao Jiu is almost twenty, more than ten years older than him, the child can't even speak clearly, how can he do such a big thing!" ”

In fact, I know that the reason why grandma stopped me was not because of this, but because grandma didn't want me to always play with my ninth uncle, and I had to call him uncle according to my generation. Why don't you want me to play with him, grandma has her own grandma, but I'm afraid the biggest reason is that the people in the village say that this nine babies are not human, they are water ghosts, so the people in the village call him "nine ghosts" behind their backs.

As the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves, and these "nine ghosts" also have their own origins, so they have to start with the grandfather of the ninth uncle. Uncle Jiu's family has been fishing for a living since his ancestors, and he is also a very independent family in the whole village, because most of the families are mainly farming, so after moving to this village from his ancestors, he is a little out of place with everyone. Maybe Uncle Nine also inherited this gene, so he is also a withdrawn character, but it's weird, but we are quite talkative, so in my opinion, he is not a weird person.

Uncle Jiu's grandfather is a capable man, carpentry, bricklayer everything, his house was also built by his grandfather back then, what is more valuable is that a big man also made a good dish, whether it is stir-frying, or making fish, making dumplings, making noodles, everything is proficient, I heard grandma say that at that time, as long as the ninth uncle's house smoked, the fragrance, ten miles and eight miles can be smelled.

Not only has a good handicraft, as a person who makes a living from fishing, the kung fu in the water is even better, no matter how big the waves, a fierce man goes down, either catches a big fish, or touches a big grass shrimp, never empty-handed. It may be precisely because of this skill that the grandfather of the ninth uncle did an earth-shattering event in that special era.

I also listened to what the old people said, and there is really no way to verify whether it is true or not. At that time, when the Japanese devils were about to be defeated, the people of all countries in the East Asian battlefield rose up to resist the aggression of Japanese militarism, and the Japanese devils were not only defeated and retreated, but also there was a shortage of people in the country, so they wantonly arrested laborers from Northeast China and North China, some were transported to concentration camps built in China, and some were transported to Japan by ship to work as coolies.

It is said that on one occasion, a shipload of laborers was transported from the west side of the river to the east mouth of the sea, where they were to be transported from the wharf to Japan. And the grandfather of the ninth uncle at that time, let's call him the ninth master, was returning from fishing, and before he went ashore, he heard the sound of gunfire coming from the Japanese boat, and then the sound of someone being pushed down the river.

With the good eyesight he had cultivated on the river, the Ninth Master believed that it was the Japanese devils who killed the laborers who were about to escape, and pushed the corpse down the river. The ninth master thought to himself, they are all his own compatriots, who doesn't have a wife and children, but he is afraid that the boat will be too conspicuous in the past, and it will be bad if the Japanese catch it, so he said that the sky is getting darker, and quietly dived into the bottom of the river, this one is more than 30 meters, the river is more than 100 meters wide, he is full of strength, and he quietly swam to the water surface that made a sound just now, and then look, in the middle of the river, it is already a piece of red water, don't ask, it is human blood, but there is no one to see. So the ninth master took advantage of the good water nature, and stabbed nine fierce sons in a row, and finally lifted a dying person out of the water.

And by the slight darkness of the night, he lifted the man to the shore, but because the man's injuries were so serious, he was panting vigorously, and he couldn't see it. At the last moment, the man intermittently told the ninth master that he was a laborer who was captured from Baiyangdian, along with him, his son, and nephew, and the three were all captured by the Japanese devils, and in order to let the children escape, he was ready to fight with the Japanese devils, and let the two children take advantage of the chaos to jump into the river and run away. Because Baiyangdian also makes a living by fishing, so the water is also very good, otherwise this person would not have been able to live in the water for so long after being shot, so he also chose the place to escape in the middle of the river, but who would have thought that the Japanese devil was really ruthless, before he could do it, seeing that he had resisted, he immediately shot him down, and before his son and nephew ran to the side of the boat, the Japanese took a gun and forced them back into the cabin. Not only did he not save the two children, but he also took his own life, and the ninth master was also a violent temper, and he heard the green tendons on his head.

That person was dying and asked Jiu Ye to find a way to rescue the two children, but in the end he didn't even close his eyes, or Jiu Ye found a pit to bury this person, Jiu Ye is a man of his word, but he promised others to save people, how can this person be saved? The Ninth Master was worried, at this time, he inadvertently glanced at a big bucket behind the door, and when he looked at the big bucket, the Ninth Master thought about it, and a plan to save people came out of his mind.

It turned out that the vat contained explosives for frying fish, and although there were not many of them, they could still come in handy at the moment. Before going out, he glanced affectionately at his son sleeping on the kang, that is, the father of the ninth uncle, the ninth grandmother was fanning him with mosquitoes on the kang, and when he saw that his man was going out so late, he said that he would go fishing again tomorrow, it was too late, but how did she know that this farewell was a lifetime.

Nine masters in the heart of the matter, but do not delay the full stomach, people who work on the water know that this job is the easiest to get hungry work, only when you are full, can you persist on the water for a long time, so the ninth master in the night, he made himself a table of sumptuous dinner, what big pot stickers cake on miscellaneous fish, green onion simmered perch board, shrimp paste roll pot helmet, and finally there is a bowl of the most nourishing is the dry steamed turtle blood, similar to the meaning of making blood tofu, which is also the water people only eat when doing heavy physical work.

After being full of wine and food, the ninth master wrapped the gunpowder and fuse and flint and steel in felt paper, pinned it to his waist, and groped his way into the small boat under his feet every day, and a flat boat sailed straight to the small pier at the mouth of the sea like an arrow. The life of the ninth master is in this colorful night, in this arrow-like boat, shining like gold, which is really:

The land of Yan Huang is in a hurry

The sons and daughters of the fishermen resist the iron hoof

Who said that the country was in foreign affairs

The descendants of China continue the legend
