1. Born from the catastrophe
Huaxia, November 9, 1996.
A small mountain village in Annan City, Jiangcheng Province, is inaccessible in this era of busy traffic and bright lights. There is not even a decent gravel road here, only two dirt roads that are stepped on by man.
The village is inhabited by a group of rustic villagers! It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the air is fresh, and the river water is as clear as a spring.
All families don't say that life is good, look at the rows of three-storey small buildings, and the dogs barking from time to time in the courtyards, children around the ancient trees at the entrance of the village laughing and laughing, wearing fat bodies, from time to time with small hands to wipe the snot bubbles caused by fatigue, rest and then take out a candy from the pocket, first use the hand that has just wiped the snot to peel off the mouth without scruples, and then put your hand deep into the pocket to grab a handful and put it under the root of the big tree to share with friends! It is not difficult to see that life is relatively rich.
The crops in the distance are growing amazingly, and even though it is winter, the wheat seedlings are still full of green in the fields! The men are hunting in the mountains, fishing in the rivers, and driving away the chickens and ducks in the house! Women gather at the door of each house, or do laundry, or pick vegetables while washing rice, ready to cook! There are also some old people who are heating around a pile of wood stoves, and they are dividing the Chu River and Han Boundary! There are endless quarrels, but they are also happy!
Further east, there is a river that stretches horizontally, the lake is shaded by trees, and the mountains stretch from top to bottom! The men who hunt only dare to hunt some pheasants and wild boars on the periphery! Don't dare to go deeper, let alone stay when the sun sets! This is a rule handed down from our ancestors!
If anyone has ever been to the top of the mountain, they will be overwhelmed by the sight in front of them! Looking up from here, you can see the sky, and the stones are flattened into a square! Not far away, an ancient mansion sits in it, and the beasts carved on the roof are lifelike! The two stone lions at the door are as immobile as mountains! Nine houses form an encirclement, and a big tree in the courtyard forms a waist surrounded by six people, standing majestically! The tables and chairs in eight of the rooms are all made of mahogany, and the cabinets and beds are actually made of golden silk nanmu, and even some of the daily necessities placed are full of antique charm! There are some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and they must be extraordinary when they look at it from shape to potential!
In a special house, at this time, there are four old people busy inside and outside the house! There are those who brush the walls, those who fiddle with the generators to connect the wires, and those who stick to the floor! A beautiful woman holding needlework scissors to make children's clothes under a big tree, and a mother-in-law holding a modern parenting book to read, if this group of people does not seem to match, there is an indescribable sense of fit. The two old men have entered the dying, and they seem to have inexhaustible strength! All of them are not red and panting, they use their hands and feet at the same time, and they do not delay at all when they do their work, in one step, accurately and in one go! It is difficult for the two beauties to tell their age, their skin is moist, but they are dressed in ancient costumes, and their movements are slow and orderly, full of beauty. Combined with the overall view of the top of the mountain, such a group of people is not weird!
The old man who was brushing the wall stopped and lit a dry cigarette: "In two days, the boss and the liar should come back, I don't know if the little guy can come down completely in this life, and living with us old ghosts is also wronged him!" ”
"Do you dare to scold him for being a liar in front of him, I'm afraid that your old bones will have to break a few more, and then you will have to beg Erniang to boil medicine for you"
The old woman who was sewing clothes under the tree said while sewing clothes, "Eh, time is running out, the boss has to toss something, he is about to be freed, and he has to bring the child back, teach him some fake ways for us to walk the rivers and lakes, my old bones are in the end, and I have to do some sewing and mending work, I am not wronged, tossing and tossing, this body bone is no longer moving and rusty, but I have wronged my meteoric needle, I have not seen the light of day for more than 30 years, but now I use it to sew clothes!" The three bastards handed me over his mouth and I will sew it for you, and then let you smoke it, choking to death! After speaking, he looked at the small black needle in his hand, and said that he was distressed, but there was a little expectation and unknown emotions in his eyes!
! "Come here, stinky woman, see if you seal my mouth first, or if I tie you up first, the old man can't remember how long he hasn't visited the land of fireworks, and I don't know if it's still useful." After the third child finished speaking, he pretended to take a puff of dry cigarettes, leaking a cheap look with big yellow teeth and a smile!
You are looking for death, you actually compare me with those broken flowers and willows, and you have to step forward! "Okay, you two, a lot of age is not worrying, so many years, I have been bickering, and I haven't seen you fight to a bed, my grandson Erniang has never married in this life, and has studied poison all his life, and at the end of the day, he can still have a child, raising him as an adult, it can be regarded as accumulating virtue, otherwise to die Those animals who were poisoned by me If they mix an official and a half-position underground, I have to be offended, I have to educate this child well, and there is a person to send it to the end, and someone burns a paper money to make a dot during the New Year's holidays. Since the senior brother must have his reason for doing this, his ability to chatter must have calculated something, you two, a handful of age, disrespectful for the old, wait for that child to come, don't take my baby child, otherwise I won't finish with you, Xiao Wu go and bring me the book I put in the main hall, I'll take a closer look, this book is more difficult to learn than martial arts cheats, it's really fatal" Sun Erniang said to the old man who was sorting out the wires, and looked at the two old men who were attacking each other with their eyes. Warn them not to mess around, they won't be able to get a modern nest for the children if they break the house! The old man who was called Xiao Wu was not angry and even a little happy and floated down from the air shelf, landed steadily, seemed to be walking, and in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in the ancient house and brought the book that Sun Erniang wanted.
From their conversations and actions, it can be seen that these old immortals are hidden deeper than the other, and none of them are simple!
The weather is getting cooler, the cold wind is beginning to rage, and the heavy snow that follows covers the mountain peaks, rivers, and the traces of decorating the new house in the ancient house have long been cleaned up, and the four old men rarely sit quietly around the house, occasionally only Wu San can't bear the urgency, and just picks up the tea stove next to the table and pours a cup of hot tea, picks it up and takes a sip, wants to speak, and finally shakes his head and sits back to the table quietly, closing his eyes. Until the sky was completely dark, a muffled thunder hit the ancient trees in the courtyard, booming, echoing in the courtyard, several people opened their eyes, and their eyes were facing each other! Looking forward to each other, but holding back. Then close your eyes again. What awaits you.
At this time, in the magic capital of Huaguo, an old man was wearing a black robe, with a pulp gourd pinned to his waist, and a copper coin in his hand. The mother money worth more than two million Huaxia coins was played with by the old man in this way! If uninformed people are afraid that they think that the old man is another charlatan, holding copper money in his hand, hanging a gourd around his waist, wearing a nondescript Taoist robe that is not like a Taoist robe, a trench coat is not a trench coat, walking on the road on a snowy day, I am afraid that he has not cheated the accommodation money, and on Chinese New Year's Eve alone, walking in the snow alone, one word, the mix is really miserable!
There are occasional pedestrians passing by the roadside, but they only glance at it and look at it, but no one comes forward to ask the old man if he needs help! The old man naturally doesn't care about the eyes and opinions of passers-by, a pair of eyes are cloudy, but from time to time his eyes are wide and shoot into the distance, and the copper coin in his hand rotates from time to time, making a tinkling sound, all the way with the snow into the night! If you are a caring person, you will find that the snow surface that the old man walked on was smooth and smooth, and there was not a single footprint. Thinking about it, even if I found out, I guess I would just go home and say to my wife, "Niang Xipi, this snow is too big," and definitely not associate it with an old man who is dying!
When the time came, the old man stopped, picked up the gourd on his waist, pulled the stopper, drank two sips, smacked his lips, and shook his body, "The time has come, you should be robbed for a thousand years, and you must not be reincarnated a hundred times, you should come to the world in this life, I will take you back"
When others heard it, they were afraid that they thought that the old man's epilepsy and paranoia had attacked together! After that, the old man took out the copper coin, closed his eyes, put it in the palm of his hand, and the thumb of his left hand moved back and forth from the small thumb to the index finger, and there seemed to be starlight flowing in his eyes when he opened his eyes, facing forward, his legs and feet were open, and he was still in a skyscraper a few minutes ago, but at this time he was far away from the highway outside the neon airport for dozens of miles, his fingers moved, he took two steps forward, flew and jumped down, and next to the load-bearing pillar under the high-speed bridge, a newborn baby was lying there. The old man hurriedly stepped forward, and the snow flew with a wave of his hand, and the baby quilt was also dried by the old man in an instant, and the palm of his hand was attached to the baby's heart. Then carefully pour out a small drop of wine from the gourd, afraid of spilling, feed it, soon the child woke up, opened his eyes, bright as stars, starry eyes turned slightly, thick eyebrows horizontally, looked at the old man, smacked his lips, frowned, spit! Thinking that the old man muttered two or three times, it seemed to be protesting, and after a while, probably tired of crying, he closed his eyes again, and fell asleep after a while!
The old man stopped the true qi transmitted by his palm for a long time and probed the little guy's heart. The beating returns to normal, wraps the baby and holds it in your arms! "Go home".
In order not to cause trouble to modern society, the old man all the way to the baby, did not choose the city route when he came, but took the rural road with fewer people, after all, a newborn baby, an old man who looks like he is in the ground at any time, will inevitably make people have bad and weird associations! An hour later, there were only 200 kilometers left to return to Annam, and when I saw the K564 train in the distance, the old man got up from the ground, landed on the top of the train steadily, sat cross-legged, and blocked the wind and snow with his body! "I've wronged you, I've sent true qi to your little guy, and I've run more than 200 miles, and I'm running out of real qi, old man."
Two hours later, the train was about to move to the North Railway Station of Annan City, and for the sake of socialist stability, the old man "got off the train" in advance and began to "walk" again. Over the mountains and mountains, it was already more than four o'clock in the morning at this time, and the old man finally came to the ancient house with the little one! A treading snow came to the door of the ancient house without a trace, the door opened without wind, and four old immortals walked out of the house, looking at the swaddling clothes in the old man's arms, "Senior brother, come back, let me see the child" Sun Erniang couldn't wait to take the child from the old man's hand, the old man stumbled, spitting blood! walked to the back room, "I'm fine, I have snooped too much, and I have sent true qi to the little guy, just meditate for nine weeks, take care of him" and closed the door of the back room! “
! "Boss, where did you steal it from, people's parents won't come to the door, don't you die, I can't drink the flowery wine you hid behind the house when you die" After speaking, he leaked out his yellow teeth! The worry that flashed in his eyes still couldn't hide his worried look! Xiao Wu didn't say anything: it was obviously a child who was picked up, and there was dry clay on the quilt, and after looking at the three bastards, Xiang was doubting the IQ of the third child, and walked to the side of the fourth aunt and the second mother! Looking at this little guy who was being taken care of by two old women in a hurry and carefully, a smile that was more ugly than crying appeared on his bloodless face.
While helping the little guy breastfeed, Erniang checked the child's physical condition with the fourth aunt! When she touched the little guy's bird, Erniang reached out and took a trip! "The little guy's Tianji acupoint is blocked, what can I do, I can't serve my mother-in-law in the future, I can't give birth to a big fat boy, no, we have to find a way." The Xiaoyaozi in the back room heard Erniang's shout, and his stable energy was chaotic again, "Thief God,, Niang Xipi"!
