It was a very ordinary afternoon, and at that time, my name was still Ah Qing. Ah Qing's best friend is called Ah Zhuo, and she is a girl who is as bright as the sun. As usual, we sat together on the big sunlit rocks, lazily basking in the sun and talking about our visions for the future.

Ah Zhuo was very depressed that day, and she told me that someone from the village had come to her house to propose marriage. What Ah Zhuo hates the most is that people in the house come to her house to propose marriage. And as the most beautiful girl in the whole village, this kind of thing will happen every once in a while.

So, I asked Ah Zhuo why she couldn't look down on so many handsome young men in the house, and Ah Zhuo said that she didn't want to continue to live in the cottage, she wanted to be able to go to the city below and live the same life as the people outside.

Many years later, people hollowed out their minds and walked into the mountains and forests in their leisure time, which is called returning to nature and enjoying the green, but at that time, we had too much yearning for the green bricks and green streets in the city.

Later, Ah Zhuo said that she must go to the city, she must marry a city person, and let her children become city children, wearing that kind of green cloth gown, staring at a melon skin hat, and combing a big braid longer than our mountain girl, and shaved her head to the ground.

I don't know if Azhuo is right or wrong to think so, to be honest, I grew up in a cottage, and I'm a little tired of this place where I was born and raised.

Coincidentally, my father hit several pheasants in the past few days, and the salt at home happened to run out, so the next morning, my father asked me to take the pheasants down the mountain, go to the establishment and sell them, and come back in exchange for some salt.

The pheaice feathers of the pheasant are very beautiful, I can't put it down, and even wonder if I can keep these beautiful feathers, so I only take out the chicken and sell it, of course, that is impossible, otherwise people will be regarded as sick chickens, and they will not be able to sell it.

I got the pheasant, I didn't leave the cottage in a hurry, but found Ah Zhuo at the first time, Ah Zhuo longs for life in the city, she likes to go into the city to play very much, but the old people in the village say that the people in the city are very bad, and we are usually not allowed to enter the city, only when we go to the city to buy and sell things, we are allowed to go together.

On that day, Azhuo was extremely happy, she hadn't been to the city she longed for for half a year.

At that time, the city we went to was called Kuncheng, which was the most prosperous city in the vicinity, and there were many very new things in it, and Ah Zhuo's favorite was the old man who made noodles at the north gate of the city. It is said that this is the craft brought by the old man of the Han people from the northern capital of the country, a ball of colorful dough, kneaded around on the old man's hands, and made all kinds of characters on small bamboo sticks, which is fun and tight, but every time Ah Zhuo just goes to see.

Life in the house is mainly self-sufficient, money is also a rare thing for us, more often, we directly use the things we get from hunting to barter with the people in the city. But some of the wizard-centric people in the stockade are rich, and I've seen them fiddle with a silver coin with shells carved on it, which is pretty good.

That day, we sold the two pheasants in the bazaar, in exchange for some money, chickens, not a precious thing, pheasants are just more than the domestic so-called game, the market price at that time, an egg is two cents, our two pheasants, sold for a hundred wen, I exchanged ninety of them for salt, the remaining ten wen, bought four of my favorite meat buns, and Ah Zhuo one and two, so we returned to the penniless situation.

When the business was done, it was still early, and Ah Zhuo asked me to go with her to the north gate to see the old man kneading the dough. To be honest, I also like those noodle people, but the bun is four for ten cents, and Ah Zhuo and I have to hurry, if we save money to buy a noodle person, then there is a chance that we will be hungry and unable to walk on the way back, so we can only take a look.

I know that now, I think that old man is very magical, he is not young, he has white hair on his head, and the hands are very rough, and there are many cracked skin, and in those cracked cracks there are various colors of face stains, I really can't imagine that such a pair of hands is so skillful, more clever than the hands of our girls.

A pinch, a kneading, a variety of colors matched, one by one wearing clothes and holding a small stick, a shy pig with a big belly and a nail rake, a monk riding on a white horse, appeared on the small bamboo stick. It wasn't until much later that I learned that the names of those three noodle people were Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Tang Sanzang. However, the name or something, in fact, didn't mean much, and the most important thing was that we were really happy at that time.

I think that old man must know Ah Zhuo, because when he saw Ah Zhuo coming, he squinted his eyes and smiled. After all, Ah Zhuo is such a beautiful girl, and it is hard to forget it after seeing it once. But many times I think, this old man is really stingy, Ah Zhuo is such a beautiful girl, the marriage proposal has stepped on the threshold, why can't you give a noodle man to our Ah Zhuo as a gift?

Of course, that's just thinking about it. The old man is the same age as Daddy, but his hands are much rougher than my Daddy's, they are all grinded out by hard work, and it seems that the people in the city want to live, and it is not easier than those of us who live in the village.

"Ah Qing Ah Qing, look at this monkey, I like this little monkey the most, if I have money in the future, I must buy this little monkey back, plug it by the window, watch it every day, and tell it stories." With her fingers, Zhuo pointed at the little monkey in the tiger skin dress, both eyes were full of little stars, and just as she had finished saying this, the little monkey was pulled off the wooden shelf.

The old man was in business, and it was normal for the noodle man to be sold, and Ah Zhuo and I both planned to turn our attention to the next noodle man, but this time, the noodle man was not taken away as usual, but was handed to Ah Zhuo with a hand.

"This young lady, you seem to like it very much, but why are you just watching it here? Why don't you buy it and give it to Miss? "The owner of the hand is a beautiful man, dressed quite gorgeously, and he still holds a fan in his hand, and his clothes are polite.

"Okay, thank you then." People in the mountains are refreshing, if you like it, you like it, and if you don't like it, you don't like it. Ah Zhuo did not hesitate, nor did he refuse, so naturally he took the noodle man in the man's hand and played happily, and the old man who pinched the noodle man was also very happy to take a few copper coins from the man's hand.

To tell the truth, the man is very pleasing to the eye, much whiter than the men who are busy all day long in the cottage, and his demeanor is much more gentle, perhaps, this is what people often call bookishness, but I am very familiar with the way he looks at Ah Zhuo, and when the men who pursue Ah Zhuo in the house look at her, they all have similar eyes.

I used to ask the wizard how people can come together, when will I meet someone I like, and the wizard told me that it takes fate, I don't know what fate is, but when I saw that kind of sudden dodgy look in Ah Zhuo's eyes, I knew that Ah Zhuo's fate might be just that.

To be honest, I'm a little envious of Ah Zhuo, she's prettier than me, and she's pursuing her a lot more than me. It's like the man in front of him who calls himself Azig. Of course, Azig is not surnamed Azig, he is a Manchurian, Suo Zhuo Luo, but I prefer his Chinese name, Suo Wenqing, Ah Zhuo also said the same, although the time we spend together is just a bowl of tea, this man named Suo Wenqing has imprinted his figure in Ah Zhuo's heart.

After returning to the village, Azhuo began to be depressed, compared to the previous days when the hungry people often basked in the sun and watched the moon together, she preferred to sit alone in the bamboo forest, holding her stick monkey in a daze, sometimes in a daze, began to giggle.

The sisters and aunts in the village all said that Ah Zhuo had a man he liked, and those men who pursued Ah Zhuo also began to talk about it, I don't know whose kid took the peach blossom luck and fell into the heart of Ah Zhuo, the most beautiful person in our village.

Of course, the truth of the matter is only known to me, and the man that Azhuo likes is Suo Wenqing.

The stockade, just a little bit big, there is something that is going to happen, and it will soon spread throughout the whole village, and the stupid thing that Ah Zhuo took the face was quickly spread to Ah Zhuo's father's ears, and her father asked her many times which man she liked to like, but Ah Zhuo just didn't say it.

The old people told us that the people in the city are all bad people, and they are very cunning, so they know that they will harm the people in our cottage. So Ah Zhuo didn't say it, and I didn't say it, because if it was said to go out, then it would be very difficult for Ah Zhuo to go into the city again in the future.

The days, as usual, were plain and peaceful, until one day, Ah Zhuo ran to my house with the little noodle man and took my hand and said to me with a smile: "Ah Qing, Ah Qing, my salt is finished, my salt is finished." ”

Salt, that has always been a very scarce thing, no one should be happy when they finish eating salt, and Ah Zhuo is so happy that she can naturally have the opportunity to enter the city again.

I don't know if it was Ah Zhuo's prayer that touched the heavens, or if the heavens deliberately wanted to punish us for not listening to the old man, this time we entered the city, we met Suo Wenqing again, and that Suo Wenqing was also the beginning of our sister's nightmare......
