Chapter 1: The Past
Yao Qingguang is known as the old stubborn donkey, who is honest but stubborn. As the saying goes, www.biquge.info stubborn is poor. Therefore, Yao Qingguang's family was very poor, he was a soldier in his early years, and he was repatriated by the army without knowing anything, and Yao Qingguang's father almost broke off the father-son relationship with him for this matter.
Yao Qingguang's eldest son, Yao Baijin, is a vegetable seller, who pours vegetables all year round, and often goes out early and returns late. In the morning, I went to the market to set up a stall, and in the afternoon, I went to eat vegetables, and I often came back late because of the long distance. Because at that time, although there were already motorcycle trailers and cars, they were not driven by Yao Baijin, and his transportation depended on bicycles.
Because Yao Baijin was sick when he was a child, his face was full of scars. People don't have a good temper, but they have inherited Yao Qingguang's stubbornness and irritability, plus the family is poor, so he has been beaten as a bachelor so far, but now Yao Baijin's temper is much better.
The second son, Yao Wanjin, is an electrician in the village, because it is a backward mountainous area, there are often power outages at that time, and the electrician is called ******, no one dares to offend, it is a fat poor. Therefore, Yao Wanjin got married and had children, and his life was also good.
Yao Wanjin has two sons, the eldest son Yao Dashan has been sick since he was a child and is thin and weak. Under Yao Qingguang's interference, the second son gave Yao Baijin to the eldest son Yao Dashan.
Yao Dashan was young and didn't know what a play was, but he only knew that he would have to live with his uncle Yao Baijin from now on. And Yao Baijin takes care of this son in every way, but Yao Dashan is very helpless about his uncle's stubbornness, and Yao Baijin's temper has also been much more restrained since he had Yao Dashan, almost like two people.
So let's talk about how stubborn Yao Baijin was before, once Yao Baijin made sweet potato bread.
At that time, life was already better, and I wouldn't be hungry, and I was not reluctant to eat white noodles, but I often ate cornmeal and sweet potato noodles in the middle. Sweet potatoes are sweet and loved by children, so sweet potatoes and sweet potato noodles are common in rural areas. However, sweet potato noodles are not easy to glue together, and they often break into several petals by themselves when cooked.
After the steamed buns were steamed, Yao Dashan just came back from going out to play. Yao Baijin said to Yao Dashan: "Wash the handle first, and then eat steamed buns later." ”
Yao Dashan responded: "I know" Yao Dashan at this time is playing in addition to playing.
Yao Baijin loves Yao Dashan, and he said: "Dashan, you must not go to the cracks to play when you go out to play, it is very strange there." Don't go far in the back mountains. ”
"I know."
The crack is a crack in the west, and there are often some strange things near a place called the landlord's grave, and over time everyone is far away from there, especially the adults tell the children to stay away from there.
However, it is said that the buns with sweet potato noodles are not easy to pick, and experienced people are waiting until the buns are cold and then picking them up, which will be a little stronger, and if it is hot, it will be picked up.
Yao Baijin was anxious, picked up three buns and broke them in half, so Yao Baijin suddenly became angry, angrily overturned all the buns in the pot in the pot, and scolded angrily: "Let you break it again, I see if you can break it?" ”
"Dashan, bring a bowl, today we drink mush......"
Yao Dashan is small, what adults do, what they eat, this paste is three days to drink......
Yao Baijin is an anxious person, and everyone knows that when he smokes, the lighter can't be turned off three times, and he will definitely break the lighter, and then hit it with a stone a few times to "vent his hatred". Since bringing Yao Dashan here, Yao Baijin's temperament has slowly been worn out of sharpness, and his acute character has miraculously changed. People around me will give a thumbs up when they talk about it, which is great fatherly love.
Yao Dashan went to school for a few years and became sensible. On this day, Yao Baijin went to eat vegetables, Yao Dashan waited until the middle of the night and didn't see Yao Baijin come back, Yao Dashan was worried, he planned to go to his father's house and let his father look for it.
As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, he saw Yao Baijin in the distance pushing a bicycle and walking back, Yao Dashan greeted him and asked, "Dad, why did you come back so late?" ”
Yao Baijin waved his hand to Yao Dashan but didn't speak, Yao Dashan saw that Yao Baijin's face was pale and there were sweat stains on his forehead, so he wanted to ask, but Yao Baijin squeezed his eyebrows at him, and waved his hand again and again to signal Yao Dashan not to speak.
Although Yao Dashan had a stuffy stomach and didn't ask anything more, after returning home, Yao Baijin hurriedly closed the door and whispered to Yao Dashan: "Go home and light the incense." ”
Yao Baijin and Yao Wanjin both have a shrine at home, which reads "The Divine Seat of Mr. Sanshan Jiuhou, the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Laws", which usually only incense on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, and today Yao Baijin makes incense a bit unusual. Yao Dashan still did so.
After the incense, Yao Baijin knelt in front of the god seat again, and muttered a lot of words that Yao Dashan couldn't understand, Yao Dashan had long been accustomed to this, and his grandfather Yao Qingguang was even more so in his early years.
When eating, Yao Baijin made an exception today and poured a glass of wine, usually at this time Yao Baijin must have something to say, Yao Dashan is ready to listen to Yao Baijin tell the "story".
Yao Baijin drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, poured another glass and said: "Dashan, you are not small, there are some things that you should know." ”
Yao Dashan was stunned, what Yao Baijin said today was different from the past. His curiosity was even greater, and he wanted to know what Yao Baijin was going to say.
I only heard Yao Baijin say: "Do you know why I came back so late tonight? ”
Thinking of Yao Baijin's previous face, Yao Dashan asked, "Did you encounter a road robbery?" ”
Yao Baijin shook his head and sighed: "I guess you can't guess that I met the Yellow Skins Party again tonight." ”
Yao Dashan said: "Our teacher said that there are no gods and ghosts in this world at all, and there will be no yellow skin to charm people. ”
Yao Baijin glared at Yao Dashan when he heard Yao Dashan's words and scolded: "Your teacher is a half-(the meaning of a fool), he knows a fart." Let me tell you, what Lao Tzu met tonight was a real yellow skin. ”
Yao Dashan said unconvinced: "Our teacher said that the yellow skin is a weasel, but it smells bad. ”
Yao Baijin's eyes were about to fall out, but he still held back his anger and said patiently: "The yellow skin and the weasel are the same kind of animal at first glance, but they are different. The yellow-skinned knees are receding forward, just like a human knee. The two weasels retreat with their knees facing backwards, just like dogs, cows, and these animals retreat. That's why your teacher is a half-ass, who doesn't understand anything and babbles. ”
Yao Dashan thought that Yao Baijin would scold, but he didn't expect him to hold back and explain in a slow voice. This surprised Yao Dashan, and at the same time he was curious about Yao Baijin's statement.
"And everything else is the same?"
Yao Baijin nodded and said, "That's the case, other places are completely an animal." ”
What Yao Baijin said next surprised Yao Dashan.
"Do you know what the yellow skin I saw tonight is doing? It's the first time I've seen such a scene in my life, and I've only heard your grandfather say something similar before, and I didn't believe it like you at the time, but after seeing it tonight, I know how ignorant I was before. ”
After a pause, Yao Baijin continued: "When I walked to the slope mouth tonight, the moonlight was still bright at that time, and under the moonlight, I saw a row of yellow figures walking slowly on the road. Because of the distance, I didn't see clearly, thinking I was dazzled. Hey, who knew that after turning the corner, I could see it clearly, a group of yellow skins stood in line, and the yellow skins in the back put their front paws on the shoulders of the yellow skins in front, and walked in a row on the road. ”
Yao Dashan asked in surprise, "How can there be such a thing?" ”
Yao Baijin took a sip of wine and said: "You are still too young, you will never know such a thing when you go to school, what kind of science does the school pay attention to now, and regard these as superstitions, but these things do exist." I'm telling you, if you see something like this, don't talk nonsense, and don't think about hitting them. If you want to fight them, you have to kill them, and you can't leave one behind, otherwise you will be plagued by them for the rest of your life. ”
Yao Dashan couldn't help but ask: "Dad, are they really as magical as the legend?" ”
"Dashan, do you know why your grandfather was cleared back by the army in the first place?"
Yao Dashan shook his head and said, "Grandpa never told people about it. ”
"Your father and I both know that your grandfather's company was ordered to be on guard, and they left the large army a day early, and then camped in the field after a day of rapid marching. The two-hour rotation on duty that night was four. When it was your grandfather's turn to be on guard with the other three people, one of them heard the cry. ”
Yao Dashan's eyes widened and asked, "Crying? Someone around? ”
Yao Baijin shook his head and said, "It's not someone, it's a yellow skin with Taoism." ”
"Does the yellow skin cry?"
"As I said, I am a yellow skin. At that time, your grandfather was young and strong and did not believe in evil, and after hearing the cry, he made a gesture to the comrade-in-arms next to him, and the two of them sneaked over. Walking in, the two of them heard the cry and were behind the tree, and your grandfather was in front, and after touching it, he stabbed it with a bayonet. ”
"Stabbed?"
Yao Baijin shook his head and said, "If I had been stabbed to death, maybe I wouldn't have been as troublesome as I am now." Your grandfather wounded the yellow skin with a bayonet, but the yellow skin crawled up the tree, climbed up, and then turned to grin at your grandfather and your grandfather's comrades. ”
Yao Dashan said curiously: "Can it cry and not speak?" ”
Yao Baijin said: "If Huang Pizi wants to speak, he needs a reward to ask for a reward before he can speak. ”
"What do you mean by a reward?"
"Let's put it this way, for example, I saw those yellow-skinned people making a monster today, as long as I said: Oh, it's a sperm? Then things will be broken, and one by one they will probably really be able to become fine. If you see the yellow skin doing something strange in front of your eyes in the future, you must not talk freely, lest you be begged by it. ”
Yao Dashan nodded.
Yao Baijin continued: "In the middle of the night, your grandfather and his comrades-in-arms couldn't shoot, so your grandfather touched a stone on the ground and threw it, which knocked the yellow skin away. But it was because of this yellow skin that it brought them a catastrophe. ”
Yao Dashan asked nervously, "What's the matter?" ”
"Not long after, your grandfather and his comrades saw a giant snake hurrying in, and your grandfather was scared stupid at that time, he had never seen such a big snake after living so big. According to your grandfather, the snake was more than ten meters long, as thick as a bucket, and the scales on its body glittered in the moonlight, as if it was wearing battle armor. ”
"At that time, not only your grandfather was scared stupid, but even his comrades-in-arms were also stupid, and when they woke up, they quickly shot and warned them. When the soldiers who woke up from the gloom were all stunned when they saw such a big snake, and they didn't know who shouted to run, but a platoon of people fled with a sigh and a snort. At that time, the platoon commander also wanted to organize people to kill the snake, but the soldiers all ran away, and the strangest thing was that these soldiers disappeared in a blink of an eye, and only the platoon commander was left standing there stunned, and it was your grandfather who dragged him away. Hey, by the last platoon, only your grandfather and his platoon leader are left. ”
Yao Dashan asked curiously, "What about the others?" Are they all dead? How did they die? ”
