The story that Liang Yun'er told was incomprehensible to Zhang Shifei, and he couldn't accept it, because all of this was too absurd and too bizarre.

This story was told to Liang Yun'er by Liang Yun'er's mother, and it happened in that era of vague bitterness and reversal of black and white.

Liang Yuner said that at that time, the return of educated youths to the city had just ended, and Zhou Shengnan (Liang Yuner's mother) did not leave, but stayed in this barren and hopeful land she loved.

To say that this is really an acre and three points of land in the deep mountains and old forests, Zhang Shifei once longed for a life, although poor, but nothing, as long as two people can live happily together, can eat well, the rest is not important, but this may not be possible in today's society, so well, everything is a double-edged sword, although people at that time were generally poor, but the heart is very pure.

But such stories often say halfway that the good times don't last long, Zhang Shifei thought, isn't this nonsense, if it goes on like this, can you borrow money.

He really guessed correctly, Liang Yun'er muttered: "The good times didn't last long, three years after they got married, something happened............

Liang Yuner said, listening to her mother, it was a winter, it was amazingly cold, the weather was cold, and the face would be frozen when you stayed outside for a while.

Here's the question, how to heat without buying coal? I had to follow the old tradition and go up the mountain to collect firewood.

Listen to her mother's dictation, it was an afternoon, the oppression was very low, because they had two meals at that time, and after eating, it was about two o'clock in the afternoon, many years of educated youth life made Zhou Shengnan become an authentic rural woman, doing rough work and tiring work are good, she saw that this is almost the New Year, the firewood is not enough, so she took a rope and a woodcutter, ready to go up the mountain to check the firewood.

Hearing her tell that it was a cloudy day, the sky was gray, and it seemed that it was going to snow again, so her mother put on her cotton jacket and tied her headscarf and walked to the barren mountain outside the village.

It is a barren mountain that has not yet been developed, there is no name, there are many wild fruits on the mountain in summer, and vegetables and medicinal materials, so the locals call it 'Jubao Mountain', there is a fox fairy temple under the mountain, it is said that there is a famous fox fairy 'Hu Qideng' of the cave, the fox seven lamps are very famous, there are legends of its apparitions in all parts of the northeast, according to the ranking, second only to the famous 'Hu San Taiye' three levels, belonging to his peers and brothers.

Listen to the old man, because of the relationship of ten years of catastrophe, this fox fairy temple did not escape a catastrophe, was smashed by a group of young and strong Red Guard generals, but because this temple is strong, to say that the previous people will not cut corners, smashed down, because the Red Guard soldiers are young yellow-haired young men, and there are no modern tools, so busy for a long time, just the stone statue and the ceiling of the temple collapsed, everyone was tired and half dead, so they read aloud [***] quotations and dispersed, However, since then, the Fox Immortal Temple has lost its incense, and it was really harmonious at that time, where did anyone dare to come to incense.

Because it's going to be the New Year, so basically no one goes up the mountain, Zhou Shengnan passed by the fox fairy temple when he went up the mountain, and suddenly shivered, and felt that there seemed to be some movement in the small temple, but she was not afraid, after all, she belonged to the left-behind educated youth, although the education level is not high, but the political component is still quite pure, she doesn't believe in this set at all, so she doesn't care, and continues to walk towards the mountain.

This mountain is very deep, the woods are dense, the snow is very thick, Zhou Shengnan stepped on it and stepped on it with a deep foot and a shallow foot, but the cold weather is also good, the trees are frozen very brittle, you can break it off without effort, you have been busy for more than half an hour, and you have made a large bundle of firewood, which should be enough for the New Year, Zhou Shengnan tied it with a rope and carried it on her back, and then she was about to go down the mountain, but when she was about to leave, she suddenly heard a sound of Xixi Suo next to her.

She turned her head and looked, hey, it turned out to be a wild hare, alive, quite big, it looked like a half-sized earth dog, Zhou Shengnan looked at this rabbit, happy, because this rabbit was missing, the hind legs were injured, and there were bloodshots, Zhou Shengnan thought, this eighty percent is because of the snow, this rabbit came out in a hurry to find food, and was taken out by wolves or something.

Great, I am worried that there is no meat for the New Year, this meat will be sent to the door, if you want to say that it is normal, Zhou Shengnan will not chase it, after all, no matter how fast people run, they can't run as fast as rabbits, but this time it's different, holding a lame rabbit in the snow, it seems that God wants to let her family have a good year!

Thinking of this, Zhou Shengnan dropped the firewood and chased after him with the woodcutter, although the hare was injured, but the speed was still very fast, and he didn't catch up for a while, and unconsciously, Zhou Shengnan ran to the depths of this barren mountain.

Finally, the rabbit lost too much blood, so Zhou Shengnan caught up, and lifted it up with his ears, Zhou Shengnan is happy, and now he can have a good year!

But at this moment, she seemed to hear something again, so she turned her head to look, and saw an old lady staggering out of the depths of the woods, this old lady seemed to be old, her waist was hunched, and she was wearing a flowered cotton jacket and it was quite festive, one holding a crutch in her hand, and the other carrying a large cloth bag, walking in the snow with great difficulty.

Zhou Shengnan was naturally kind-hearted, and when he saw that the old lady seemed to be very tired, he hurriedly pinned the rabbit to his waist, and then stepped forward to support the old lady and said to her: "Auntie, why are you in this mountain on this cold day?" ”

The old lady had a long face full of folds, and there were not a few teeth left in her mouth, she said to Zhou Shengnan: "What, I'm from the township next to me, don't you want to celebrate the New Year, come to the village below the mountain here to see my big fat grandson, it's okay, girl, where are you?" ”

Zhou Shengnan said to her: "This is a coincidence, I am from the village under the mountain, whose house do you want to go to, I will take you there." ”

The old lady said that she went to the old Li family, because there were many people in the village, Zhou Shengnan didn't recognize it all, so she didn't care, so she went on the road with the old lady, to say that the old lady looked bad legs and feet, as a young Zhou Shengnan, Zhou Shengnan should carry her, but this Zhou Shengnan is a woman, and his strength is very small, and he is afraid that the road will slip and knock the old lady again, so he picked up his firewood and led her, helped her with her luggage, walked for a while, suddenly the sky changed greatly, and a strong wind blew, and the wind mixed with snowflakes hurt very much on the face, and the atmosphere plummeted, Even Zhou Shengnan, who was wearing a padded jacket, was still shivering, and his feet were numb.

The old lady saw that Zhou Shengnan seemed to be very cold, so she said to her: "Girl, it's cold, look at your padded jacket is in the wind, so let's do it, I have clothes for my daughter-in-law in my bag, see that your heart is also good, give you one, you put on the wind." ”

At that time, the emphasis was on learning Lei Feng's heart, reckless and unnamed, how could Zhou Shengnan ask for this old lady's clothes, so he hurriedly said: "No, auntie, I should help you, how can I ask for your clothes?" ”

The old lady laughed, and then said, "It's okay, what are you polite to the eldest lady, besides, there are too many clothes, wear them, it's okay." ”

Anyway, she took the bag and opened it on the spot, sure enough, there were a lot of clothes stacked in three layers inside and three layers outside, the style was very good-looking, colorful, the old lady didn't care whether Zhou Shengnan agreed or not, so she took out a padded jacket from it and said that Zhou Shengnan had to wear everything, Zhou Shengnan couldn't shirk it for a while, and besides, the padded jacket was really good-looking, Zhou Shengnan had never seen such a good-looking dress since he came here, to say that women love beauty, so she didn't resist the temptation and accepted this padded jacket.

She was really full of joy, thinking that she had met a kind person, not only did she have meat during the New Year, but also new clothes, because she was afraid that the old cotton jacket on her body would stain the new clothes, so she took off the torn cotton jacket on her body, and then put on a new one, don't you say, this new clothes are warmer than the old clothes, just put on, it is not cold.

So, she thanked the old lady repeatedly, the old lady didn't say anything, just smiled, and then the two continued to walk down the mountain, it was strange to say, just walked to the fox fairy temple at the bottom of the mountain, that is, the head of the village, Zhou Shengnan took two steps forward, and then pointed to the village and said: "Auntie, where is your son's house, I'll send you there." ”

Which Cheng thought that no one behind him answered, and when Zhou Shengnan turned around again, the old lady had disappeared, Zhou Shengnan wondered in his heart, where did this old lady go? So she searched around, but couldn't find it, and in desperation, she had to go home first.

When she got to the door, she put down the firewood and the rabbit, and wanted to surprise her man, so she shouted to the house, "Come out, O mountain." ”

Liang Xianshan in the house was picking budding rice, and when he heard his daughter-in-law coming back and calling him, he got off the kang and put on his shoes, and said while pushing open the door: "What's the matter?" ”

That Zhou Shengnan smiled and said, "Look at it, do I look good in this dress?" ”

That Liang Xianshan looked at it, and was stunned, only to see that his face instantly turned iron-blue, his mouth opened wide, his eyes were like copper bells, and he was full of fear, only to see him actually 'ah', and then asked tremblingly: "You...... Where did you get these clothes? ”

Zhou Shengnan was very puzzled, so he said to him: "It was given by an old lady just now, look at how beautiful it is!" ”

"Take it off!!" Liang Xianshan suddenly shouted: "That's old clothes!! ”

Zhou Shengnan was stunned suddenly, after this voice, she suddenly felt that her body became so cold, and the wind seemed to blow through the new clothes in an instant.

What kind of new padded jacket is he wearing, it is clearly a tattered shroud! This shroud was black, the inside of the clothes was rotten, it was covered with dirt, as if it had just been dug out of a coffin, and the stench got into Zhou Shengnan's nose, choking her and almost fainting.

Oh, my God! What the hell is going on?!
