Chapter 241: The Origin of the Horizontal Head
Qi Xiaoting: "In this case, I have to give the township a cough in this matter." In this case, we will send the little girl home to see her mother, and then go to the village to explain the situation, so as not to affect the little girl and her family. ”
The tower watcher: "Yes, this matter must be made clear to the township." I also arranged it by the township, otherwise I would have to be punished. ”
Qi Xiaoting: "Don't worry, we will do the follow-up work." ”
Li Hong arched his hand, thanked the tower watcher, and the group took the girl to find their own wooden boat, and went south to the south to return to Hengtou Village.
As soon as he got on the boat, Li Hong couldn't wait to say to the girl: "Can you tell me the origin of your village?" ”
The girl shook her head: "When I was young, I heard my grandmother say it. But I don't remember it in too much detail, so I can't say. ”
Li Hong: "Then, how about you being a supervisor and letting Dongsheng tell us to see if it is different from what your grandmother said?" ”
The girl nodded.
Li Hong said to Dongsheng again: "It's better for you to say, but this time, you must start from the beginning and let the little girl hear it." ”
Dongsheng smiled and told the following legendary story very obediently:
According to legend, a long, long time ago, there was a "flower army" in Hebei.
This "Hanako Army" is a plague caused by a flower child who wants food to die in the wilderness, the bones rot, and the bacteria spread.
This plague is very powerful, as long as it is contaminated, it will die within three days. That momentum is better than the battle of thousands of troops.
And because it originated from a flower seed, so it is called the "flower army" - for a time, the entire land of Hebei was invaded by the "flower army", almost every village is clean, and every family is extinct.
It is rumored that the entire Jianjin Prefecture is a family surnamed Mao in Duyan Village who did not die. Because this family surnamed Mao is a fried fruit, he smokes and burns all day long, and chokes away the "Flower Army".
After the "Flower Army", the entire land of Hebei was deserted. After Zhu Di, the king of Yan, established the capital of Beijing, on the one hand, in order to strengthen his rule, and on the other hand, in order to change the desolate scene under his nose, he ordered to bring the people from Shandong and Shanxi to Hebei. It also stipulates that the two shares will be moved to one, and the two shares will not be moved.
None of the people wanted to leave their homeland, so the households that should be moved went into hiding. Migration is difficult to do. The government used a plan: let the families of the officers and soldiers take a walk and lie, saying: The relocation of the capital elsewhere means that the people under the big locust tree in Laoyuwo Village, Hongdong County, Shanxi Province, will not move.
People believed it and flocked to it. When the people were almost gathered, the government sent troops to surround the village, and all children and children moved to the border of Hebei.
I don't know elsewhere, anyway, as soon as the people in Jianjin Prefecture talk about their old days, they say: "We all moved from under the big locust tree in Laoyuwo Village, Hongdong County, Shanxi Province." ”
How many families can live under the big locust tree? It's just the last foothold for the immigrants in Shanxi Province.
It is said that there is such a family, two with three children. is the second oldest in the family and is the target of relocation. However, the concept of homeland is very serious, and he doesn't want to leave his hometown for anything.
I heard that the people under the big locust tree in Laoyuwo Village, Hongdong County, did not move, so the family went there to "take refuge". As a result, he fell into a trap and was pressed by officers and soldiers to Hebei.
The two felt deceived and were very dissatisfied. But this relocation is the emperor's will, and there is nowhere to sue, so the two decided to make the four seas their home in protest.
The family of five walked and walked, and when they walked to the territory of Shenzhou, Hebei, the youngest son was so tired that he couldn't walk. The two of them left him there and named him "Please Look Back" - to take the meaning of looking back at his hometown.
Leaving the third child behind, the family of four continued to move forward. After walking for a few more days, the second child was too tired to walk. The two of them left the second child there again, and named it "Grinding Head" - the meaning of taking it off and turning its head to look at the hometown.
Leaving the second child behind, the family of three continued to move forward. When I walked to a place more than 30 miles southeast of Jianjin Prefecture, I was blocked by the Qingliang River.
The clear water and humid climate of the Qingliang River attracted the boss. The two of them saw that the boss was tired enough to choke, and they had nostalgia, so they left him here and named him "Hengtou". One is that there is a cool river in the head, and the other is the meaning of taking the head.
The two arranged for their three sons to go to various places to travel to immortals.
When the three sons grew up, they remembered the nurturing grace of their parents and went to their parents together. I searched for thousands of mountains and rivers, but I couldn't find it.
Hengtou rubbed his head to the two younger brothers and turned back and said, "We don't know the whereabouts of our parents, but our parents know our land." Why don't we each go back to our own land and name the village. Raise your name, and your parents may come to us when they hear it. ”
The younger brother grinded his head and asked him to look back and see what his brother said in agreement. The three brothers each returned to their own land, named the village after their own name, married a wife, had children, and had offspring.
Whether their parents came to them or not, none of them said to outsiders. This may be a little secret that they don't want to reveal!
Later, it was a long time since the relocation, and people forgot about that homesickness. With the evolution of history, people wrote the back edge as "Qinghui head", and the grinding head edge as "Mo head", which is the Qinghui head and the former head in Shenzhou.
The horizontal head has not been changed, and it has been used. But it has a small horizontal head. Therefore, there are two Hengtou villages in Tanglin Township.
…………………………………………
After the origin of Hengtou is finished, Hengtou Village has also arrived.
When Dongsheng was telling, Qi Xiaoting quietly asked the girl about the basic situation.
It turned out that the girl's surname was Wu, her name was Cuiying, and she was only 14 years old this year. There are father Wu Haiqing, mother Wu Li, a younger sister, and two younger brothers. In the past two years, my mother has been in poor health and often sees a doctor for medicine.
The group came to Wu Cuiying's house, and her father Wu Haiqing greeted her. When the father and daughter saw each other, they hugged their heads and cried.
Wu Haiqing choked up and said, "Yingying, thanks to you coming back today, one day later, I won't be able to see your mother." ”
Wu Cuiying was shocked when she heard this: "What happened to my mother?" As he spoke, he broke free from his father's arms and stumbled into the house. shouted "mother" a few times, and seeing that her mother did not respond, Wu Cuiying lay on her mother and cried "woo".
It turned out that Cuiying's mother had been cut off water and rice for three days, and her face was sallow, and she had reached the point where she could cry when she covered the paper.
Because they were female patients, it was inconvenient for Li Hong, Dongsheng, and Li Xing'er to enter the house, so they sat down in the hall and talked to them without Haiqing.
Qi Xiaoting came to the house, looked at Wu Li's body, and found that her complexion was the same as her complexion, which was also sallow and sallow. The bedding and clothes are light in color, with a hint of yellow. It is known that this is due to jaundice hepatitis.
Hepatitis is still an incurable disease during this period, and jaundice hepatitis is a stubborn disease. Hepatitis is also a disease of wealth, you can't be tired, and your diet is high in protein, low in fat and high in vitamins.
Qi Xiaoting glanced at the house, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "the four walls of the house" and "poverty". No wonder I sent my daughter to the tower, it was really helpless to have such a serious patient at home.
Qi Xiaoting persuaded Wu Cuiying, who was crying bitterly, called Wu Haiqing into the house, gave him three hand-twisted gourds, and instructed: "This will give Cuiying's mother one to drink, and the rest will drink one each tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." After three days, Cui Ying's mother's illness will be better. ”
When Wu Haiqing heard this, a trace of relief appeared on his sad face, and he picked it up and looked at it, and said in his heart: How many potions can the small gourd that can be held in the palm of his hand hold, and he couldn't help asking, "Does it work?" ”
Qi Xiaoting hurriedly explained: "It works, this is ambergris herbal water, the daughter-in-law of the young man outside (referring to Dongsheng) is unconscious, and she is better by drinking this." In our Jianjin Prefecture, several people have been saved with this. ”
Li Hong shouted through the door curtain: "Drink, keep it for good, my life was saved by drinking this." ”
"Then I'll quickly feed Yingying and her mother to drink." Wu Haiqing said, unscrewed the lid, and personally poured the potion into the patient's mouth.
After more than a dozen breaths, Wu Li's stomach suddenly made a "gurgling" sound, and then he opened his eyes and looked at Cui Ying with tears.
"Mother, I'm back, it's this big sister who rescued me. The potion you drank was also given by this big sister. How do you feel? Wu Cuiying choked up.
Wu Li opened his mouth, and Wu Haiqing hurriedly leaned in and asked, "Do you want to drink water?" ”
Wu Li nodded.
Wu Haiqing hurriedly took the water bowl and fed her a few mouthfuls with a small spoon. Lee's throat made a swallowing sound of "coo-dong-dong". Wu Haiqing said happily to Qi Xiaoting with tears in her eyes:
"It's been three days, and I haven't swallowed a drop of water, and the doctor said that it's just a matter of one or two days, I really didn't expect that I could drink water again. It seems that it was the potion that worked. ”
Qi Xiaoting: "Boil some millet porridge for her, it's rotten, it can be raised in a few days, and this disease can be eradicated." ”
Wu Haiqing frowned slightly, although the burning was fleeting, he was still captured by Qi Xiaoting, and asked, "Is there millet at home?" ”
Wu Haiqing shook his head: "I'll cook her a bowl of cornmeal porridge, and it's not much different from millet porridge!" ”
Wu Cuiying: "Don't we have millet at home?" ”
Wu Haiqing: "No. To tell you the truth, there are only two handfuls of cornmeal left at home. ”
"Didn't you say that after I left, the township would give me money? Why are you still so poor? Wu Cuiying asked puzzled.
"Ahem!" Wu Haiqing sighed: "The money is given, but all of it is for your mother to ask the doctor to grab medicine and buy nutritional products, your mother's disease is also a disease of wealth, and the nutrition can't keep up, so it's all spent on your mother." There are four of us, and we still eat bran vegetables. No, just these two handfuls of cornmeal, I am reluctant to cook vegetable porridge, and I have to keep it for your mother to cook cornmeal porridge. ”
"How so?" Cui Ying cried again: "My master told me that we can't finish the rice and noodles at home, and we have chicken, fish, and meat every day. Why are they deceiving me? ”
