When I was a child, I liked to listen to my grandfather's stories the most, and I often heard that I forgot to eat, and my grandfather also told me full of spit, and my grandmother shouted how many times to eat, but I couldn't hear it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When my grandfather was still very young, not long after liberation, the big pot of rice was disbanded, and an agricultural society was established, and everyone relied on earning work to eat, but the food earned by the work was first deducted half by the president and his leaders, and in the hands of the villagers, it was basically not enough for the family to eat, and the old people, women and children in the family lived by earning work, and the men went to the mountains to cut bamboo to earn money, and people in the village died in the mountains every year, and the people who went out together had to carry them home and put them into the soil for peace. It wasn't until one day, when he met a corpse chaser, that the tradition of carrying the dead home ended.

My grandfather's father, I don't know the big name, the small name is Dunzi, because he ranks ninth in the family, so the people in the village basically don't call him by his name, they all call him Lao Jiu, and people from other villages call him Jiu Ye, and I will tell you their story in the tone of my grandfather.

There is a single person in the village, called Da Bo, I like to squat at the door to bask in the sun when I have nothing to do, just next door to my house, whenever someone from other villages comes to my father and asks him where my house is, Da Bo always shouts loudly: "Lao Jiu next door, someone is looking for you!" Then my father ran out and took the visitor to a small house not far from my house, and sometimes we talked for half a day. No one in the family knew what it was except him, and no one had ever entered it, because he always locked it up when he was fine, and did not let anyone in the family enter.

He is not an onmyoji, but outside the village, if something happens, they will look for him, so there is a smooth mouth in the village, not afraid of Lao Wang next door, but afraid that there is no Lao Jiu next door! He is very mysterious, no one knows what he does, and the people in the village don't say it, and I didn't know it before, until one day, I broke through the mountain with him, and I didn't know that it turned out to be ......

As soon as the sky was brightened, the single was bored, and he had already set up his own brazier at the gate of his house, boiled up strong tea, and put a few steamed buns on the side, which had been roasted by the fire.

"Hello, where is the Ninth Master's house?" All of them were in their twenties, probably seven or eight, and one of them asked.

"Lao Jiu next door, someone is looking for you!" Big stuffiness is still the old slogan.

After a while, I saw a man of about forty years old, dressed as he walked, and came out of the next door, he was my father, nodded to the comer, and led them to a room not far away.

I crept out from behind the door, watched them go in, lay down at the window, and listened secretly!

"Ninth Master! We are admiring us, we have heard the name of the ninth master for a long time, and we want to go to Guanshan with the ninth master! Get some bamboo, and you can't open the pot at home. ”

"Just a few of you? Not afraid of death? I don't know how many people die every year by engaging in bamboo? ”

"Don't be afraid, it's better to die outside than to starve to death at home, the whole family earns 20 points a day, which is not enough for the elderly and children at home!" A man's labor is ten points a day, and a woman's labor is seven or six points, and some are still four points, depending on the relationship between the family and the work score.

"Okay, you guys go home, it just so happens that we will go down to Guanshan tomorrow, and tomorrow morning, wait for us at the entrance of the village." My dad paused.

"Then thank you, Ninth Master!" ……

The next morning, as usual, several people from the village gathered in front of my house, and they also used small trumpets, namely the black leopard, the sheep madman, the deflated man, and the horse rack, and I don't know the big names, but every time my father went to Kanto with them.

"Old woman, we are going to Guanshan next time, you don't want to earn work, stay at home and watch Xiaoqiang!" Dad said.

"No, yesterday the people of the agricultural society informed that each family must go to the field group alone, you said that the eldest and the second and third are all going to school, and the fourth is eight years old, why is the school still not allowed to go to school, or lock the house."

"I don't, I don't, I don't, I want to go down to Guanshan with my father, I don't want to stay at home!" Of course I don't agree, who likes to be locked in their home?

"It's okay, when your father was your age, he had already made two or three trips to Guanshan with your grandfather." Dad thought about it and agreed.

"That's the only way, you guys be careful, especially Xiaoqiang, take care of him more, every time you go down to Guanshan, my heart is in my throat, especially when I see the corpses sent by the corpse chasers, I..."

"I said you mother-in-law, Lao Tzu has been in Guanshan for so many years, didn't he come back unscathed that time? Go now, go down, it's almost over! ”

After saying that, he took a few people to the hut, and when they came out, each of them carried a large bag of things on their backs.

Out of the village, I saw that yesterday's few people, are already waiting at the entrance of the village, and my father said hello, and they all went on the road in a hurry, because there was no car at that time, everything had to rely on the eleventh road, walked for a day, and arrived at a forest, at this time it was almost dark, my father let everyone rest, eat something.

Because there is no tent or anything, from now on, you have to walk at night, if you sleep at night, it is easy to be eaten by wild beasts, and you take turns sleeping during the day, and my father will start to tell everyone some precautions.

"Walking at night, everyone must follow the people in front, pay attention to the people in front, if someone takes the wrong road, immediately exit to stop, but can not call each other's real name, from now on, everyone gives themselves a nickname, because we are not very familiar with you, can not call your name, so, you nine, you have to take care of each other, for convenience, just add a child to the last word of your name, my son will call him Si'er, write it down!"

Everyone nodded.

"Now tell me your names! Report the trumpet, so that everyone has an impression! ”

"Ding'er", "Ping'er", "Jun'er", 、......"Yong'er", "Si'er", "Sheep Maniac", "Black Panther", "Horse Shelf", "Tu Deflated", "Dunzi". Everyone reported it one by one

"Okay, listen, from today onwards, everyone is not allowed to use the daimyo, whoever wants to use the daimyo will be responsible for the accident. When you walk at night, no matter who you hear calling your big name, not the little name you just reported, don't look back, don't say yes, even if you hear it's your family, don't pay attention. If you feel that someone is following you behind you, or someone is pulling you to pat you, don't care, don't be afraid, just go your own way, and be optimistic about the person in front of you. If there is really something, call the other party by his nickname, and when he hears the nickname, he can turn back, understand? ”

Everyone nodded, each familiar with each other's nicknames.

"Alright, let's all sleep now, and in two hours it will be dark, and we'll start on our way."
