Today is another sunny day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I came out of Uncle Liang's house after finishing my work and went home for breakfast. From afar, I saw Zhou Papi sitting on the threshold eating with a sea bowl bigger than his head, and when he saw me, he stretched his neck like a chicken, swallowed the full mouthful of rice, and shouted indistinctly:

"Don't you hurry up, Huang Shiren and they are all waiting for you at your house!"

I glanced at him and replied lightly: "Why are you going so early, the dew on the mountain is still dry, and your clothes are wet." ”

I went into the house, Huang Shiren and the mountain carving really looked around in my room, I didn't bother to answer, after washing my face and rinsing my mouth, my mother just served the food to the table. After eating, they put down the bowl, and Hu Hansan and Zeng Xiangkun also arrived with the basket on their backs.

A few of us made an appointment yesterday, and this morning we went up the mountain to pick fir trees and pine balls (local dialect, pine balls) and pick up tung tea.

It's been more than a month since school started, and the cold dew is coming. Harvesting late rice and picking tung tea is received in autumn of another year.

The school had a seven-day farm holiday. In order to "work and study", at the end of the holiday, each student in our senior year must hand over ten catties of fir trees.

Ten catties of fir trees are naturally not difficult for us big boys in the fifth and sixth grades, and they can be completed in half a day at most. There are fir trees everywhere on the mountain, and most of the branches of the branches have cyan goose-shaped fruit balls, and this kind of fruit balls are loose balls, and the local language is called fir tree lumps. The outer skin of the pine bulb has a diamond-shaped pattern, which is convex and uneven. When ripe, it is brown, with the warm sun of October and spring? The diamond-shaped bulge cracks into a scaly carapace, and most of the fruit balls at this time become round.

We're going to pick uncracked green fruits. Every year, the school will organize us to pick the fir tree lumps, hand them over to the school and pile them in the corner of the classroom or the playground, paste them with yellow mud, let it ferment, and then pick them up and spread them on the playground after a period of time. Pine seeds are a traditional Chinese medicine, which is put away and sold to medicinal herb companies. The money from the sale is used as income from the work-study program to pay for the school's teaching expenses.

Picking fir trees is to complete the tasks assigned by the school, and it is far from picking tung tea with a sense of harvest and maturity. Because picking tung hawthorn can bring direct economic benefits to the family.

In fact, it is not the production team that wants us to pick tung tea. Picking tung tea is a matter for adults, and we wait for them to pick it before we go. If you are lucky, you can pick up hundreds of catties of tung tea fruits in a few days, and you can squeeze out several catties of oil after harvesting the seeds and drying them.

In addition to the patches of tung tea mountains, other pine and fir forests are also mixed with a lot of tung tree tea trees, and adults often do not want to climb and neglect to miss the whole tree is not picked, these missed tung tea trees, is the goal we are looking for. If you find a tree like this, you may be able to harvest dozens of catties. That kind of surprise can make you feel like you've picked up money on the road, and your heart will be beautiful for many days.

The destination we chose was opposite Maple Mountain.

The pine trees on Maple Hill are dwarf, so picking pine balls is relatively easy, and there are many chestnut trees and wild persimmon trees on Maple Hill, which can make us feast and harvest.

Go up the reservoir around Team 7, cross the small wooden bridge to Team 6 on the opposite side, and then go back a little further, and you can climb up Maple Hill from the col on the side of the Manmei House in the backwater bay.

In fact, we also have a purpose, that is, we want to see the girl Manmeizi, the girl who "comes out of the seedling field", and her blind mother who has been passed on in the past few days, the new "fairy mother" in our Xinghua Village.

Since Mrs. Chen Zhuxiu was possessed by Tan Gusen and found out the murderer Wang Xiaoying, she exposed several things one after another a few days ago.

That day, Liu Yingguo, Zeng Chenggong and Zeng Fanzhi accompanied the police officers of the County Public Security Bureau to Manmeizi's house to investigate and collect evidence to make records, Chen Zhuxiu sat on the chair and couldn't stop hiccuping and yawning, and when she left, she suddenly stopped Liu Yingguo and said:

"There is a corpse five feet down the gate of your new homestead, and you have hastily moved the ground, which has alarmed the ghosts. The collapse of the kiln is just the beginning, if it weren't for Zeng Qingfu sacrificing his life, both of your family would have to die. Your leg doesn't hurt, does it? If you fall, don't suffer a big loss, but you have someone to protect you. If you don't hurry up and dig up the bones and bury them, you will surely bring disaster to ...... house."

At that time, two policemen from the county public security bureau and a police officer named Chen Jinxing from the district police station were present. Chen Jinxing, who is in his thirties, is from Persimmon Pond in this commune, and when he saw Liu Yingguotie's face was silent, he sharply reprimanded Chen Zhuxiu for talking nonsense, misleading the public, and propagating feudal superstitions, and carefully arrested her and sent her to the commune to run a study class.

Chen Zhuxiu was blind and agitated, and shouted with a sneer: "You don't know whether you are alive or dead, you have ignored it for a few years, let me be immersed in insects, and even the roots of the tree have been rooted in my house." You are now weak in your waist and legs, and you don't have sex, if you go on like this, you will be a waste in less than two years, you are an unfilial thing, do you want to cut off my Chen lineage? ”

The people in the room were stunned and inexplicably frightened. Because her voice was an old male voice, and when she looked at Chen Jinxing again, her face was already pale and frightened.

Zeng Chenggong saw Liu Yingguo bowing his head and contemplating the appearance of his mood, he didn't raise his head to speak, and hurriedly stopped the old lady and said: "This is a cadre from the county and district, what are you talking nonsense?" ”

Turning his head, he hurriedly apologized to the three of them and explained that this old man had lost more than a dozen children and husbands in his life, his eyes were blind from crying, and he would be confused from time to time......

Chen Zhuxiu didn't pay attention to it, but turned his head to him and said, "Your house is not peaceful, go back and see what is hidden in the ear door wall, take it out and burn it." Also, don't keep eating in the bowl and thinking about the pot, take care of the lump of meat in your crotch, and be careful of causing death......

Zeng Chenggong didn't expect to set himself on fire, he was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and his sword eyebrows gathered, and he was about to have a seizure, but when he saw Chen Zhuxiu bending over the chair and falling asleep, he was immediately angry, and the group of people left crying and laughing.

The first to verify was Liu Yingguo. After sending off the public security police, he went home immediately with a black face, and supported Liu Laoman with his children and nephews to pry open the newly built bluestone foundation at the gate of the new house, and only dug more than two feet down, and sure enough, he dug out rotten wood and white bones. Immediately cleared out and bought a coffin, because it was an old ownerless lonely grave, he (she) was buried in the open space of Nanshan, and secretly burned a knife of paper to finish.

Zeng Chenggong was skeptical, and when he returned home, he couldn't stop his curiosity, and searched for the door ear where his hall and house were connected, and after a while, in the brick crack above the brick board, he found a carpenter's half-cut saw handle. Remembering Chen Zhuxiu's words, he quickly stuffed it into the stove and burned it.

On the morning of the third day, Liu Yingguo's wife Li Yuqing brought wine and meat to Manmeizi's house to thank Chen Zhuxiu, and happened to meet a mother-in-law in her sixties who also went to her house with Lanzi, and after talking, she learned that it was Chen Jinxing's mother in Persimmon Pond. said that yesterday Chen Jinxing went home to repair the graves of his father and grandfather, drained water and cut trees, and sprinkled lime to repel insects.

Now Chen Zhuxiu became famous and became a well-known "fairy mother". Later, people from Yangzhou, more than 200 miles away, and even farther provincial capitals, came to look for her. She has a rule: she only receives three people a day, and after three of them, she sleeps soundly for an hour or two. When she woke up, she was a normal old lady in the countryside. There is also the fact that she never mentions compensation, it is all voluntary, giving more and receiving more, giving less and receiving less, it is okay not to give, and never asks for it.
