When I was a child, the countryside had just been wired, and TV was far from popular, and the village chief had a black-and-white TV that now seemed to be as big as a shoebox, and I heard that it was matched by the county at that time in order to give us the idea of popularizing and learning advanced surnames, but I have never seen anything too complicated in it in my memory, on the contrary, the most put was "Garrison's Death Squad" that I didn't understand a little bit, and "Volleyball Girl", which was the favorite of the singles in the village, and the whole village ran to the village committee after finishing work. In order to watch TV, I don't know why, when the women in the TV jumped up and shouted "Thunderbolt in the clear sky", their eyes were straight, I wondered at the time, as for it?

Since I can remember, my parents have been working outside all the year round, and they can only come back once during the New Year's holidays, to be honest, my relationship with them is really not very deep, I was close to my grandmother when I was young, anyway, my grandmother is also used to me, I ask anything, she tells me, but there are two things I only need to do, she will sink her face, one is that there is a question about my grandfather.

Ever since I can remember, every time I asked my grandmother, my grandmother always lowered her face and said in a nonchalant tone, "What are you asking for?"

After she finished speaking, she would do what she should do, and she would not tell me no matter how many times she asked, and if she was in a hurry, she would at best tell me: "Your grandfather has gone to build the railway!" "I couldn't figure it out at the time.

And the second thing that will make my grandmother unhappy is the old lame man in the west of the village.

The old lame man is also an old man in the village, or an old bachelor, like the other bachelors in the village, he belongs to the master who has straight eyes at the sight of the 'thunderbolt in the clear sky', he is five or six years older than my grandmother, he has a lame left leg, he is on a broken wooden crutch that has been polished and shiny, a small hat with the same oil on his head, and his clothes are often patched, except that he is quite clean, he really looks like an old beggar.

It's strange to say, my grandmother laughs at everyone in this village, but she doesn't go the right way to this old lame man, every time she sees him, she will turn around and leave without saying a word, and she also clearly told me that you can go out and play with anyone during the day, just ignore this old guy.

I didn't know why, in my heart, this old man didn't look like a bad guy, to say that children are curious, the more adults don't let me do it, the more I want to do it, besides, in fact, I can't be more familiar with that old guy.

Don't look at this old guy who is not good-looking and has a lame leg, but the story in his stomach is even more than my grandmother, and it is more bizarre and exciting, and he knows everything about playing and singing, and he is called a good one by a huqin in his hand, and he is allowed to be present when there is a red and white wedding event in the village, so when my grandmother works in the field during the day, I will secretly run to him to listen to the story, and the old lame man is not annoyed when he sees me coming, I don't know what the old lame man is called, I only know that the people in the village call him Shao Lame, and the child is not sensible, So I also called him Shao Cripple, and he was not annoyed, as if he liked others to call him like this.

He liked me very much, and when he saw me coming, he would happily ask me to carry two stools under the gourd rack in the yard, and after we sat down, he would tell me stories with a large tea jar.

God proves that the stories he tells are all things that I can't imagine if I want to break my head, unlike my grandmother, who tells some stories about hanged ghosts looking for stand-ins, what funeral corpses and so on, the stories that the old lame man told me, even when I think about it now, are very philosophical, most of them are some karmic retribution, the old lame man has a sentence that I still remember, that is: good deeds and good thoughts bear good results, and evil repays bad karma and falls into the evil river.

Of course, where did I understand these at the time, I just thought the story he told was so good, even the male duck in the electric box was not as strong as his book, sometimes, the old lame man was happy, and he would copy the huqin, and play a paragraph according to it, while playing the piano, while humming and chirping some jokes that I didn't understand, and then talk about it after singing, sometimes he would teach me to play a section by hand, and his broken gong-like voice sounded quite comfortable.

Once, I also asked him, why does my family look down on him so much? He looked at me with those cloudy eyes with, then shook his head with a smile, and then said to me: "Xiao Ga Douzi, do you know that your family's Baojiaxian was brought by me?" ”

To say that I knew about the Eight Immortals in the Upper Cave at that time, what kind of iron crutch Li Hanzhong left or something, as for what this Baojia Immortal is, how do I know where to go?

So I asked him, what is Baojiaxian.

But the old lame man always pretended to be mysterious, and refused to tell me anything, until I went to elementary school, once I didn't come home early from school to go to him to listen to the book, but I shouted a few times outside the yard but no one answered, to say that his broken door was not locked at all, I was already familiar with him, so I didn't care, kicked open the door and walked in, he was not at home that day, and I don't know what to do, I was bored to stay alone in his yard, I wanted to go into the house to find the huqin to come out and play, you must know that children learn things quickly, I was in the second grade, and I could already play a lot of tunes on the huqin.

The old lame man's grass house is very broken, in addition to a small fire kang there is a big box left, all his valuable home pickups are in it, including the Hu Qin'er, but this box is generally locked tightly by a big lock, I really don't understand the old lame, although it is said that the poor family is broken, but his house is not even locked the door, if there is really a thief or something, not even the box for you to run away?

Fortunately, I thought I knew the old lame man the same way he knew the donkey's dung ball, and his key was hidden under the kang mat, which I had seen with my own eyes.

If you want to say that children's playfulness can really make a big mistake, who would have thought that it was my careless act back then, which was like opening Pandora's safe, which indirectly affected my future?

I didn't think much about it at the time, I was bored and wanted to play the piano for a while, so I took the key from under the kang mat, opened the copper lock that had been touched, and after lifting the lid of the wooden box, I looked inside, hey, don't you really say, this old cripple really has a lot of fun private goods.

In the huge box, the huqin is on top, next to his suona, and next to the two musical instruments there is a string of cloth strips wearing bells and a crown that is also flowery, like a singer wearing, but this description is a bit inappropriate, because it is more like the ancient bride in the TV, but the front face is not beads, but various colored strips of cloth

At that time, I thought it was interesting, so I took out the huqin and put it at my feet, and then took out two other things, I wanted to put the crown on my head, but my head was too small, as soon as I put it on, it slid directly to my neck, like a big collar, those strips of cloth went directly to my knees, and the string of bells was made of several strings of cloth, and there were many copper bells on it, and I held it in my hand, making a rattling sound, strange and beautiful, at that time I felt that my shape was like an ancient person, So he played with it, and after shaking the bell in his hand for a while, he continued to turn over the box.

The rest of the stuff is not so interesting, I found that under the suona, is the old lame man's clothes, but I have never seen him wear this dress, it looks like a black cotton jacket, but the workmanship is quite fine, the neckline and cuffs have yellow line strokes, and the left shoulder is embroidered with a few symbols that I can't understand, I wondered at the time, why did the old lame man have such a beautiful clothes but hide them and not wear them? It's a bit confusing.

Although the dress was pretty, I wasn't interested in it, so I continued to flip through it to see what else was underneath, and I really didn't say it, but when I lifted the dress, I heard another bang, and I really found something funny.

Underneath the garment was a drum the size of a washbasin.

That's right, this thing should be a drum, I feel strange, just now when I was flipping through the clothes, I touched this drum, it actually made a "bang" sound, this is not right, even my child knows, the drum should be ping-pong? I was curious, so I took the drum and studied it carefully, and finally I found out why the drum was so "called" so evil.

It turned out that this drum was different from ordinary drums, only one end had a drum surface, and a very strange pattern was drawn on the drum surface, while the other side was empty, supported by eight thin sticks that were not copper or iron, and on each thin stick, a large coin was tied with a red rope.

I looked at the drum and said it was a drum, but it was like a flatbread, because it was so thin, and I thought, "The old lame man is really sick, and he must not be as small as a cat barking when he knocks on this thing?"

At that time, I thought of this, so I grabbed the drum with my left hand, and picked up a wooden stick like a small hammer in the box with my right hand and slapped it on the drum surface, but it didn't matter if I didn't shoot it, it really scared me when I patted it, and the drum was like an electric box, and it made a lifetime "bang" of the boss!

Oh, I'll go, this thing is really loud, I was very surprised at the time, but how can a child think too much, I just feel that I have found a new 'toy', because this thing is too powerful, loud, and very good, so I forgot about Hu Qin'er, picked up the wooden stick in his hand, and slammed it towards the drum.

Knock knock knock, knock the louder the sound, but just when I knocked on the high, suddenly, the door in the house was kicked open, I looked back, only to see the old cripple standing at the door, I saw him for the first time this expression, as if to kill someone, usually how to not make a big eye staring, a pair of crutches are not on crutches, but copied in the hand, he subconsciously looked at me after entering the door, because I have never seen his virtue, so I was a little stunned for a while, holding a wooden stick I don't know what to say, And when he saw me holding the drum, he was just as stunned as I was.

For a moment, we looked at each other.

"You're back?" When I saw that it was silent, I asked him.

He was still in a daze, and after a while, his expression slowly recovered, and I saw him say to me in a tone that seemed to be very disbelieving: "Ah...... Returned, Ga Bean, the drum just now......... Did you knock it? ”

I blinked, and then said to the old lame, "yes, no? ”

After that, I struck three more times, and the drum made a ping-pong sound, and the old lame man saw me beating the drum, and he couldn't speak, and I watched his appearance slowly change, although it has been many years since my memory was slowly blurred, but I can vaguely remember that he was at that time, as if he was going to cry, and after a while, he sighed, and then said to me: "Okay...... Good knock, you're out of school? ”

I nodded, and then said to him, "Well, isn't that boring, so I'm looking for you to listen to the book, what's wrong?" ”

The old lame man looked like he wanted to say something, he shook his head, then turned around and said to me, "No...... Don't you listen to the book, put your things back and come out into the courtyard. ”

When he had said this, the old lame man turned and went out again, and when I saw that he did not seem to be angry, I did not think much more, and threw the strange drum and the crown bell back into the box, and then walked out of the door with the huqin.

When I walked into the yard, the old lame man was already sitting under the gourd stand, holding the cigarette bag and pot with one hand, smoking every mouthful, and when he saw me coming out, he snorted at me, and I motioned to sit on the small bench opposite him, and at the same time handed him the huqin, and the old lame man took the huqin, but did not pull it, but still stared at me, as if he knew me on the first day, and I was stunned when I saw it.

At that time, I said to him a little strangely: "What do you think of me (what), don't you mean to tell a story?" ”

Strange to say, after the old lame man heard me say this, he sighed again, and after he knocked the cigarette bag and pot on the sole of his shoe, he said to me in a serious tone: "Little Ga Douzi, do you want to know how your grandfather died?" ”

Of course I want to know, didn't you keep telling me, I was still young at the time, and I didn't know how to hide it at all, so I said to him very unhappily: "Of course I want to know, but why are you all like this, you too, my grandmother too, why don't you tell me?" ”

The old lame man smiled bitterly and said to me, "Of course I have a reason if I don't tell you, if not...... Forget it, I'll tell you, you'll have to know sooner or later anyway. ”

After that, he picked up the broken can bottle filled with water on the side, unscrewed the lid and took a sip, and after organizing the language, he spoke to me: "You should know, in fact, I am not from this village, I came here more than 20 years ago, and on that day, I met your grandfather, that is, the son of a ruined family, Yao Laosi.................."
