readx;
About half a day of waterway, it is a beach mouth, and the way the slender man sings is different. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The slender man's horn, listening to the four Wuzhen on the boat, was confused, and looking at the scenery along the river, it was also pleasant. Wu Zhen got up and walked to the bow of the boat.
When Wu Zhen was young and later dismissed, he went to Lu State, Qi State and other places, climbed Mount Tai in the east, Mount Hua in the west, Zhongyue Chongshan (Song Mountain), and also went to Kuang Mountain (Lu Mountain) and Yellow Mountain, which can be said to have an indissoluble bond with the landscape.
Entering Danfushui, he saw another unique and uninhibited style, and wanted to find simple words to summarize and summarize, which was his habit every time he saw a beautiful environment, thinking of many words such as majestic, strange, dangerous, and steep, he shook his head gently, and always felt that he couldn't do his best, and suddenly flashed out two words, so that he finally smiled with satisfaction: "Dream." At the same time, he also knew that in the eyes of the second son Wu Cheng, he would definitely not see this wonderful place, and he even felt a little sad for his son that "children cannot be taught", he knew that the second son would only see spears and swords in his eyes, and even the blood on the ground would turn a blind eye, and he was a little disgusted with him. Perhaps, there are still beauties in the eyes of her son, Wu Zhen thought. After all, it was his own seed, Wu Zhen felt a little distressed about him again, glanced back at his son, and saw that his eyes were half-closed, listless.
Wu Zhen is most satisfied with her daughter, who is not only well-behaved, but also understands her parents' hearts best. Thinking of his daughter, he sighed secretly, his daughter could have had a good home, the son of Doctor Zhuang Zhi of Chu State is a wishful candidate, both parents have this intention, only the pace of the matchmaker is a little slower, and now, it has become a castle in the air. Wu Zhen thought of this and once again resented her eldest son, Wu Fang. Like his sigh, this regret was known only to him at this time. He turned to look at his daughter, and saw that she was staring intently at the beauty of the shore, and did not express the same dissatisfaction with the trip as his son.
Wu Zhen on the head of the boat was thinking about her thoughts, and suddenly heard her daughter say, "Father." Only to find out that my daughter didn't know when she came to her side.
Wu Zhen smiled at her daughter.
At this time, a group of Ba people came from upstream, and there were people singing on the boat:
Dan Shui Rolling Bay Stream,
The younger sister lives in the head of the river.
Wash that body white,
Fill your head with those flowers.
Remember that the back door is not bolted,
Remember to keep your dog on a leash at the head of the house.
Don't blame brother I'm coming early,
Brother wants his sister to dream.
Don't let my brother go tonight,
Brother is willing to go to Baitou with his sister......
The daughter said, "Father, you see, there is a team of canoes upstream, so fast, it is really like flying." ”
Wu Zhen had already seen the four or five canoes in front of her, and said with a smile: "I really deserve to be the descendant of the Emperor of Di." ”
"What tune do they sing?"
"Bamboo tune. The Ba people can sing and dance. ”
"Father, I just said that in the past, the five clans of the Ba people lived in the red and black caves, and there was no king, and then the competition, the Ba Wu won each other, and they arrived at the dangerous rapids, and they haven't finished talking yet, what are they comparing?"
Along the way, every time she went to an important place, Wu Zhen had to inquire about local legends, allusions, or tell stories by herself, which was a habit as a historian, and it was also a specialty, and her daughter was the best of the three listeners, and Wu Zhen was of course more willing to tell her.
Wu Zhen took a deep breath of moist air and cleared her throat: "Ba Wuxiang is the son of the witch of Wuluo Zhongli Mountain. Zhongli Mountain has two red and black caves, respectively live Ba, Fan, Zhu, Xiang, Zheng five surnames, Ba people live in the red hole, the other four surnames live in the black hole. At that time, the five clans did not have a group leader (leader), so the five surnames agreed to throw a sword into a cave from a distance, and the one who won the battle would be the leader. During the competition, Bawu Xiang had great strength, good crosshair, and won with one sword. The four clans were not satisfied, and once again agreed to build a mud boat to swim in the river, and the mud boat would not collapse and sink in the water, and he would be the leader, but only the boat that the minister was riding was not sinkable, and the four clans thought that this was the will of heaven, so they submitted to the minister of the river as the leader, and called him the king. ”
"Why is his earthen boat unsinkable?
Wu Zhen smiled: "Of course it's providence." There is also a legend that Prime Minister Bawu secretly put a large wooden plank under the mud boat. But this is not necessarily true. Perhaps, he is a master of pottery. In short, there is both providence and his intelligence above ordinary people. ”
"Father, how many tribes are there among the Ba people?"
Wu Zhen said with a smile: "There are many branches of the Ba people, who can say clearly, such as the White Tiger People, the Turtle Spirit People, the Fish Warriors, the Snake People, the Elephant People, etc. ”
"Father, what is the meaning of the Ba character of the Ba people?"
"Along the way, I've asked this question too. Ba, there are many ways to say it. It is probably due to the different places where different branches of the Ba people live, different worship, and even different customs, and the meaning is different. For example, there is a Ba for the snake to say, the Ba snake swallows the elephant, the Ba snake is the Ba people; there is a Ba for the fish to say, the locals call the fish for the fish swing, I heard that it is the fish Baba; there is a Ba for the grass to say, refers to the grass, I heard that it is the banana, you have seen it; there is a Ba for the water to say, Lang, Bai Ershui flows southeast, zigzag like the word 'Ba', so it is called the Ba, and there is a tiger said, refers to the white tiger people. Of course, there are other theories. ”
Wu Ni smiled: "It's too complicated. I once heard a person say that Bawu Xiang may not be surnamed Ba, but surnamed Xiang, why is that?"
"The affairs of the ancestors of the Ba people are mysterious and secretive, and there are many things that are not clear about the father. Bawu Xiang, Bawu Xiang, is also a saying. ”
"Your father and daughter, get back to your place, it's going to be a big swing again!" Wu Ni was about to ask, when she heard the boatman shout.
I spent two or three days on the boat, and spent two nights along the way, and I was about to reach the foot of the Jinba Mountains.
Wucheng was on the boat, bored, moved from the head of the boat to the stern of the boat, and moved the head of the boat from the tail of the boat, back and forth several times. Wucheng is tall and long, and in the eyes of more than ten Pakistani men and women in this boat, it is like a huge monster that attracts attention.
A man in the boat made way for him three times, you must know that the small boat at that time was many generations worse than the later crooked ass boat, and the boat gave way was a difficult action, and it was also a high-risk action, which was very unpleasing to the boatman, and this time he wanted to let it, the man said impatiently: "You have long feet and long work, like a hungry cocktail to come and go, not afraid of getting into the water?"
The middle-aged woman behind the man smiled: "He is looking for fish with his neck stretched." "The locals call the heron (Qingzhuang) a hungry cocktail, which is also an association with the long neck of Wucheng.
Wu Cheng said with the most humble smile he had ever had since he was born, "For the last time, for the last time." "If there is anything interesting on the boat, for Wucheng, there is only the time when the waves are fighting, the boat rises and falls and the little timid woman screams.
This time, after fighting the big waves, the water slowed down slightly, and Wucheng moved to the head of the boat, which did not allow too many people to stand, and the locals understood that this family of outsiders wanted to see the beauty better, so it almost became the exclusive territory of the family, of course, when the water was a little calmer.
The son said to his father, "I can't figure it out for days and nights, why does my father insist on going into Danfushui?"
"You're here again! ”
"My father often taught me: When there is chaos today, heroes are born in troubled times, and it is the time to carry a three-foot sword and make immortal achievements, but my father has pulled the family into this poor mountain and bad water. I still don't understand the reasoning behind it?"
"Look at this river, it is so clear that there is no trace of impurities, although the peaks on both sides of the river are steep, but the trees are green and the flowers are red, how can you say that the mountains are poor and the water is bad?"
"No matter how good the scenery is, it can't be used as food, let alone clothing. ”
"If you don't learn and don't know how to do it, the benevolent person is happy with the mountain, the wise man is happy with the water, there are mountains and water here, it is a good place to come, but you are indiscriminately putting nonsense. ”
