Chapter 024: Thirty Years of Great Infatuation
The old knife head looked at the man with a look of pity, and persuaded in a local dialect: "Old belly...... You have been waiting for the lake god Niangniang alone on the island for more than 30 years, and your mother doesn't care if she dies at home, and I will find the villagers to help you collect the future, do you want to continue to wait? Why don't you go back with me, don't you know, the women on TV now are much better looking than this lake god lady, and there are those who show their butts, isn't it better than you can't see them? Be obedient, come back with me......" Listen to him, that man has been waiting on the island for thirty years, and his heart is really strong.
"Heh, it's rare to see someone as infatuated as my brother, well, it's rare, old knife head, what's the name of this old brother?" Bao Yuan asked.
"He big bowl, nicknamed chili belly ......"
"Poof~" Du Muqing's eyes widened, a little unconvinced, she hurriedly asked: "Uncle Dao, you said he is a chili belly that plays with bones?" He's Uncle Chili Belly? ”
"What's the bone? What's the bone? No, chili belly is not for playing with bones...... "The old knife head is very repulsive to the word playing with bones.
"You're a chili belly? Oh my God, Brother Pepper Belly, you made us look for it so hard...... "Ping Sigui said with a surprised face, everyone has been inquiring about the person named Pepper Belly in Xiangyin County for the past two days, and no one has heard of this person at all. This time, everyone took a boat to Dongting Lake and never asked the old knife head who drove the boat, but the person who was waiting for the lake god Niangniang on the island in the middle of the lake was chili belly, except for looking a little infatuated, I didn't see anything unusual.
"Uncle He, have you heard of a man named Du Baichuan?" Du Muqing didn't dare to get closer, and looked at him from a distance and asked.
"I haven't heard of it." The man's eyes never took off the surface of the lake.
"Uncle Pepperbelly, do you play with bones? We are here to find you. I want to see your bones-trick tricks. Bao Yuan looked at the man and said.
"In the current world, how can anyone be willing to spend money to watch such an unfortunate performance?" The man replied coldly.
"Old belly. Are you going or not leaving? Hmph, I know it's useless to ask. It's not early, I don't want to be taken away by the lake god Niangniang, I still have a family. The old knife head looked at the sky, and said to everyone with a solemn face: "Okay, okay, the people you want to see have also been seen, you can't stay here for too long, the days are no longer than May, and the days are not as short as October." If you stay any longer, you have to touch the dark, there are rules for boating on the lake in Xiangyin County, you can't touch the dark, we didn't ask the river god in advance when we went out, touch the dark, the river god wants to lose his temper, let's go, let's go......"
"Uncle Dao, I'm here right now. Why are we in a hurry to go back, besides, we still want to see the bones......" Bao Yuan hurriedly took out the money.
"What's the bone? What's the bone? Said nothing. The old knife head seemed to be a little angry, and he clenched his fist tightly in his hand. If it weren't for the fact that there were many of them, they might have roared and started to fight.
"Old knife head, what are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? My chili belly was originally a bone man. Is there anything wrong with bones? Pepperbelly snorted coldly, and he looked at the lake and let out a long sigh. said: "Thirty years, I have figured it out. Maybe the lake god Niangniang saw that I was a person who played with bones, and the lake god Niangniang probably didn't like people with heavy yang energy, so she didn't even look at me, I spent thirty years proving that I was in love, and I think the lake goddess Niangniang should understand my heart......"
The old knife head seemed to be in a hurry, and looked at everyone coldly and said: "Okay, you have to watch some bullshit here, I won't accompany you, it's dark, wait for the lake god Niangniang to take you away!" With that, he jumped on the boat.
"Gone." The old knife head didn't say anything about morality, and drove away.
"Aren't you afraid?" Chili belly asked.
"Afraid of what?" Bao Yuan didn't understand what he was saying.
"I don't think you understand." Pepper belly looked at the ripples of the lake, the silver waves sparkled under the sun, looking at the old knife head that was far away, pepper belly said: "Xiangyin County's trick to play bones has been passed down for thousands of years, I'm afraid it will be lost in my hands, I have been friends with the old knife head since childhood, thirty years ago he wanted me to pass on the unique skill of playing bones to his son, but playing bones requires talent, and if you don't make a good scene, you will hurt the yin owl......"
It turns out that the bones must be born in the yang year and the moon, and after birth, they must be fed with chili juice and milk.
That's why He Dawan is called chili belly.
Since the chili belly saw the lake god Niangniang in the middle of the lake thirty years ago, the lost soul has no intention of playing with bones.
The older people thought he was dead, and the younger ones had never heard of playing with bones, and only a few people such as the old knife head knew that he lived alone on the island in the middle of the lake.
The reason why the old knife head has been coming here to see him is that he wants the chili belly to pass on the unique skill of playing bones to their children and grandchildren, and he doesn't want to lose this unique skill, this is a job that can make a lot of money, and the old knife head has not been able to achieve his wish. When the old knife head heard a few of them shouting to see the time of playing bones, he thought that these people were also here to learn the stunt of playing bones, so he lost his temper for a while.
Bao Yuan said hatefully: "We didn't come to play bones, nor did we come to learn this kind of craft, Uncle Belly, we want to understand one thing, didn't you see the lake god Niangniang take away an old man a few days ago, the one with the golden flower in his hand, we know each other, we have something important to do with him." Of course, Ping Sigui and Song Peng didn't know that Bao Yuan had met the yellow blind man in Liupan Mountain again, so they naturally didn't understand what was going on.
The man looked at Bao Yuan and asked, "What are you looking for that old man?" He's been taken away by the lake god Niangniang, cough, why doesn't the lake god Niangniang leave me? His words were full of regrets, as if he didn't want the kind of lake god and mother who didn't want it, and everyone who listened to it was sour. I only heard him pause and then said to everyone: "Today is fourteen, tomorrow night fifteen, when the moon is at the top, the lake god Niangniang will appear, and you will be able to see it then." ”
Bao Yuan asked: "What does the lake god Niangniang look like?" ”
The man looked at the lake and said lightly, "It's beautiful, it's beautiful...... The lake goddess is like a fairy floating down from the sky. After a long time, he said lightly: "Dong Yong and Cowherd saw the fairy bathing by the river, and both of them can find a way to steal the fairy's clothes and let the fairy marry him, but my thirty years of infatuation can not impress the lake god Niangniang, I know that the lake god has many concubines, even if she smiles at me more, let me see it for a while, I am also very useful, it is not necessary to have a husband and wife, God, why not let my wish come true." ”
The wind in the middle of the lake was strong, and there was a chill in it.
The night is so long, this small island is a hundred meters in circumference, except for those lush vegetation, there are few unknown trees.
I stayed here for thirty years, and I didn't even have a tent.
It is hard for Bao Yuan to imagine how he survived the bad weather such as wind and rain.
Song Peng was thinking, fortunately there are few people here, because the communication here is not developed enough, and fortunately because there are few people who know that Chili Belly is alone on this island. If people know, such an infatuation with the lake god Niangniang must not be passed on as a joke.
But everyone didn't laugh at him because he had been infatuated with the lake god for 30 years. They know, maybe the lake god Niangniang he said really exists, doesn't there are so many bizarre things in Tanggula Mountain, a huge Dongting Lake, there are one or two lake gods who seem to have said the past.
It's just that Bao Yuan doesn't know what the lake goddess looks like when she is down, and she can make this chili belly fan like this.
This night is very long, everyone has no preparation for cruising this Dongting Lake, and there is no firewood and charcoal on this island, so they can only rely on huddled together to resist, and they all want to wait for tomorrow to see the lake god Niangniang appear. Some people say that when they are full, they will not be cold, and everyone will eat the snacks they bring with them, and of course they will also give a portion of the peppers. But it's still cold to eat, no, no, the wind blows straight into the cracks of the bones, and Bao Yuan simply hugged Ben Muqing tightly in his arms.
Du Muqing said in a low voice: "Bao, can you not look at other women in front of me, even if you look behind my back, even if you do bad things behind my back, as long as you don't let me know." ”
Bao Yuan trembled his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, Lao Tzu knows." ”
Ping Sigui and Song Peng were still holding on, and the last two also hugged each other, and told Bao Yuan loudly: "The two of us hugging together purely for warmth, this kind of experience was also experienced when the Red Army crossed the snowy mountains, don't treat us as comrades, and don't let the fat boy know." ”
Bao Yuan laughed and said: "When the Red Army was hugging each other during the Long March, it was also a comrade, you can't be called a comrade when you are hugging together, haha!" ”
Ping Sigui and Song Peng scolded: "Die!" Let's go and kick him away and take turns hugging Du Muqing. ”
Sun Panzi and the mercenary are very strong, and they don't mean to be afraid of the cold at all. (To be continued......)
