There is no taboo humming the Qin dialect version of 'Casablanca' and sometimes converting it to the self-written version of 'this love can be treated', there is no need to worry about scaring Ying, and there is no Lanling's white eyes, casual clothes, the hem of the cheongsam was degraded by me on the belt, a copper plate was thrown into the small coat on the back of the body, and a leather water bag was poured into the tea on the waist.

On both sides of the path, there are dead trees and barren grass, but the loud cries of hard-working farmers and cattle in the fields already make people feel the breath of spring. Without an entourage, a person strolls to Xianyang, interspersed with farm paths, or riverside, or by the bridge, the Fenghe River in early spring is narrow and slow, as if it is still. On the big river beach where Feng and Wei meet, Xianyang Gudu, one of the eight views of Chang'an, is close in front of you. Ferry, after the Wei River is Weicheng, also known as Xianyang.

As the main tributary of the Yellow River, the Wei River deserves the reputation of 'super yellow mud supply', and the yellow water rolling through the largest water system in Guanzhong across the Loess Plateau is daunting. The ancient ferry, as far as the eye can see, the vertical and horizontal river beach and the Feng and Wei confluence burst out of the turbulent super large vortex makes people dizzy, there are no trees, no mountains, except for the river beach is the plain, wanton let the sight spread, unobstructed, there is no end. Eight hundred miles of Pingchuan, vicissitudes of life, desolate and worrying. Gudu, ancient meaning, the legendary pickaxe Jing, the Qin Emperor once stood here and looked far away, in the desolation, let go of the heart and vision, and dominated the rivers and mountains.

The roar of the two rivers colliding makes the desolation mixed with gloom, and the two mother rivers that raise millions of Yongzhou people, the land of Sanqin is famous for them. The source of the Silk Road, the starting point of the general's western expedition, Huo Qubing passed through here, beheaded tens of thousands of people outside the far pass, and the Huns collapsed; Li Shimin passed by here, and the yellow sand was stained with blood. The Eastern Turks were wiped out; Li Jing passed here, and more than 10,000 Guanzhong athletes went deep into Tuguhun, and Datang had an additional barrier; Actually, Bai Qi also passed through here, ...... was in a good mood, and forgave him, because I passed through here.

Over or off? I squinted at a few boatmen on the ferry, and they ignored me, or didn't look at me properly. As if I didn't exist, just gossip with each other. Poor service attitude! If it were in the 21st century, I would definitely complain about them, people are scrambling to do business, and I wish I could even do it for you with life insurance, and the red on your chest will reassure you that you will not drown, and then you may drown.

There is a reason why people don't do business, and there is this ferry port for hundreds of miles before and after. I can't love it, I have to come over in the past, I have to get on my raft, I have a unique business, and the emperor Lao Tzu will not give in. I am not the emperor Lao Tzu. So I decided to accommodate, cautiously approached, and respectfully said to an older boatman, "Uncle, I ...... Thinking about crossing the river. ”

"How many?" Uncle Boatman didn't even lift his head. He pinched the soft mud on the bank of the river in his hand and was creating art, and said impatiently: "There are six people in one crossing, and if you don't do it, you won't start the boat, and you will wait over there." ”

"Yes." I turned around and found a horizontal wooden pole, and sat down obediently, not daring to be verbose. It's so familiar, there is a feeling of going to the telecommunications bureau to pay the phone bill.

Yesterday, she came to Fenghe Zhuangzi alone to supervise the spring sowing of cottonseeds, and Ying needs to preside over the planting of fruit trees in Dapo and the spring plowing work of the family households at home. The second daughter can't get out of the flower water workshop, Lanling is coming, but in order to avoid suspicion, she will only arrive tomorrow, and she lives in the Zhuangzi where she newly bought. So I rarely reviewed my single life, I slept sweetly last night, and I slept in a big bed alone, so I didn't have to worry about crushing Ying or the second daughter when I rolled. Sleep unscrupulously. For crops. I'm a layman, speaking of overseers. That is, bluffing people, pretending to be a façade, after all, the owner of the village is here, and it is more or less a spur to the tenants, and the rest will be taught to a few experienced gardeners in Nanlin Yuan who serve cotton, and I am lazy to run out to step on the spring.

Fenghe Zhuangzi itself is located not far from the confluence of the two rivers, from Zhuangzi to the ferry, less than five miles of road, very happy to go to the ancient pickaxe on the other side of the capital sightseeing, after all, yesterday to pass through the ruins of the Afang Palace, on the site of the farmer's pigsty wall saw a lot of Qin Dynasty building materials, at that time, the owner of the pigsty squatted on the side and looked at me inexplicably, I don't know why this rich man would be interested in the pigsty. When I asked where the materials for these pigsty were obtained, the old farmer waved his hand in a big way, "It's all over the ground!" After resisting, I performed on the spot, and after a few random planings, a beautifully made eaves beast headdress appeared in front of me, "That's it, it's useless." Pointing to the mound in the distance, he said, "There are many people over there, and many people are digging bricks and stones there to build houses and foundations." After listening to the old farmer's words, I noticed that some of the farms here are half-brick and half-rammed earth buildings, which look much stronger than the farmhouses in my farm.

Seeing these suddenly mentioned my nostalgic interest, since I came, not to see Xianyang is simply in vain to be a Guanzhong person, the old ancestors made a fortune from Xianyang, and it is good to remember it.

"Baby, go to Weicheng?" A question interrupted my nostalgia, and an old man came and sat down beside me, and it seemed that he had also waited to cross the river.

"Yes," replied respectfully, I have great respect for the old man, and moved to the side to make way for him to sit still. The old man had kind eyebrows and gray hair, but his body looked tough, as could be seen from the burden he carried.

"Weicheng people?" The old man looked me up and down a few times, shook his head and smiled: "No, it's a rich guy." If it is said that it is like the capital from the place, but this morning, how did you rush over? ”

"Hehe, you're old and old, I'm from Weicheng." Turning around and pointing in the direction of Zhuangzi not far away, "The east slope, the west bank of the river, the Zhuangzi of the Wang family." ”

"Dongpo, the west bank of the river..."The old man looked down and pondered for a while, then looked up at me again, "The Zhuangzi of the Wang family? When did the land have the surname of the king? ”

"It's just done, hehe." It seems that the old man is still silent in the old yellow calendar, and the matter of changing the owner of many fertile fields along the Fenghe River is not clear.

"Oh!" The old man suddenly realized, patted his head, and said with a smile: "People are old, and their minds are not useful, and they will be used for a while." He pointed to the burden, "Rapeseed, I came to buy rapeseed yesterday and used it for spring sowing." The old man's surname is Bai, the Bai family on the other side of the river, the little brother's surname? ”

"Your surname is Wang," I stood up and saluted. When the old man asked for his name, he had to get up and answer respectfully, "Mingxiu." ”

"The surname is Wang..."The old man smiled self-deprecatingly. No wonder, look at the little brother's dress, you bought the Zhuangzi over there. Good land, have a vision, far and near your piece of land produces a lot, this spring sowing day, don't you guard it at home? ”

"Hehe, I don't know if the land is good or not. Purchased by the family. Turning around and looking anxiously left and right, there was no pedestrian on the road on both sides, and it was only ...... six people to drive the boat. It stands to reason that this place should be busy, how deserted.

"Don't worry, it's still early, the old man is also here to catch the first boat." Uncle Bai is experienced, so he took out a persimmon cake and gave it to me in a hurry. I politely refused, I couldn't eat this thing, and my stomach was upset after eating. The old man smiled, broke a piece and threw it into his mouth, "At first glance, you know that he is a golden nobleman." Persimmons are a good thing in the countryside. The dolls are slanderous, and they can't let go of the sweetness they eat, ten or eight at a time, and they can't pull it out if they eat too much. Hahaha......"

In this era, the farmhouse can not eat the sweetness all the year round, every autumn, the ripe persimmon carefully peeled and dried into a cake, after the New Year, the sugar in the persimmon cake is overflowing, forming a layer of white frosting, the early spring is the best time for persimmon to eat. There are many persimmon trees in Guanzhong farms, which are economical. Everyone relies on this as a dessert all year round, and it is common for the second daughter to touch one out to satisfy her hunger at home, but she can't eat more, and she will be constipated.

"Usually like that?" I said to a few boatmen, Nunu, "With such a depression and so many people as ferrymen, can you support your family?" ”

"You've just arrived, and you don't know the doorway." Bai Lao took a sip of the water bladder. "It's busy right now. They all worked in the fields, and there were few people who came and went. It's spring again, and the cold hasn't passed, and no merchants have passed by, so they are a little more relaxed. In another two months, as soon as the merchants on both sides moved, the big caravan came, and even the people brought the goods, they had to spend the whole day, and the money earned at the end of the day caught up with the expenses of planting crops for two or three months, not to mention supporting the family, and raising two more mothers-in-law were enough. As he spoke, he shouted to the older boatman: "Pimple, what will your second mother-in-law give birth to you in the New Year?" ”

"Baby!" Just now, the boatman shouted at me coldly, and proudly raised the mud ball in his hand, "I am giving the baby a blessing (the farmer gave birth to a male baby, I am afraid that I will not feed much, the father will make a lump of mud and put something on the child's head after the child is full moon, and the croppers think that there is soil for a long time, symbolizing that the child has soil in his life and is durable), and he will live a long life!" ”

"Put it alive," Bai Lao stood up and pointed at me, "The little brother of the new Wang family in Beitou, your brother's family farms the land, it is convenient for the two of us to cross over." ”

"Done!" The boatman jumped up and shouted loudly, "Brother Wang was wronged, he didn't care about repairing the baby, and got on the boat," said and picked up the burden of the old man Bai, and complained: "It's weird, why don't you tell the baby to come down?" With old arms and legs, Uncle Bai is full of children and grandchildren, and he is not afraid of his grandfather's accident. As he spoke, he got on the ferry, jumped onto the flat-bottomed boat, and was vigorous.

"The boss went to the field to work, a thousand and ten acres of land, and the old man couldn't greet him, so he picked a light job to do. The second child and the eldest grandson entered Beijing to take the exam, which was completed after the busy farming, and they were not in front of them, so the eldest and several daughters-in-law of the family handled it. Seeing that I was staggering and didn't know which foot to stretch to board the boat, the old man Bai hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "Carefully, those who come from the capital are afraid of water, and they rolled down from here last time, and the corpse rushed out on the Malong Beach forty miles down, and the fish didn't have much meat to eat." ”

Thief ship, I feel this way, if they are going to rob me, they will definitely give me anything. I regretted it when I came up, and the water flow at the ferry was stable on the shore, so there was no big problem, but as soon as I got on the boat, I realized that it was not the case at all. Stability is relatively speaking, it is much more stable than the intersection in front, but when I got to the boat, I found that the river was fast and wide, there was no margin at all, as soon as the boat left the shore, I felt as if I was caught in the water, and the surrounding was filled with the loud sound of the current, even the boatman could not hear me clearly, and the person was in a trance. If I can solve the problem by squatting or lying down now, I can see that the two of them are talking and laughing and don't take it seriously, so I just hold on to a half-squatting and half-standing posture, trying to pretend to enjoy the beautiful scenery, my legs and stomach are twisted, my lower body is trembling, my upper body is stiff, and my teeth are fighting.

I can't remember how I got ashore, but when I stood on the shore and came to my senses, the boatman was already squatting on the ground and playing with mud, and the old man surnamed Baidi had already carried his burden and walked away. Shameful, it is estimated that people saw that I was scared stupid, and I was afraid that I would not look good, so I left without a sound.

"Crossing money ......" have gone far and wide. Only then did I remember that I still had to pay my salary, and I turned back to send money.

"Go back and give it together." The boatman was obsessed with his creation, and he didn't raise his head, "If it's a set, please ask Brother Wang to help me wrap some ash in the 'Orchid Temple' and come back, and together with the mud, it will work." ”

"No problem," although I don't know where the 'Orchid Temple' is. But since you go to play, you can find it. This boatman is good, honest. Since coming to the Tang Dynasty, I have been infected by the simple atmosphere, whether it is a small farmer or a peddler's pawn, men, women and children have revealed a pure and simple atmosphere, and they are comfortable to talk about and feel at ease when dealing with each other. I also gradually put away the stinking problems of the later generations. It's unnecessary and useless, it's safe to be with real people, and no one has a cheating mind, so naturally there is no need to guard against others.

Xianyang City is small, and it doesn't look like a city compared to Chang'an. There is no Hokyo style that was once famous in Zhenyu. There are three main roads, and there are many small roads, and it is the length of the head that will be sprinkled with urine as soon as you soak in urine, and the 'Lan Temple' does not have the style of the Grace Temple in the imagination. And it is not for the Buddha, in a small courtyard, there is no side hall of the main hall, there is a hall for a kind old woman-like statue, there is no incense, there is a big pit dug out by hand under the big locust tree in front of the hall, the whole temple is a man on me, and several women are digging soil in the pit towards the bag. It seems that this is the magical soil ash that has the effect of blessing the growth of children, so I joined the digging activity with a shy face.

If you dig it, you have to dig it all at once. I took out the copper coins from the blanket and stuffed them into my bosom, and filled my two pockets with ferocity, if it weren't for the fear of digging too deep and knocking down the locust tree, I wouldn't care about mixing it up again. Ying wants to have a child and needs to be blessed. Half pocket to her. The second daughter also began to save money for the child, and also gave her half a pocket. Lanling pestered me for a baby all day, and it must be a male baby, so she also has half a pocket, and the last half bag is for the boatman, hehe.

"It's okay, it's okay. Everyone continue, don't worry about me, my house is built, lack of soil......" Thinking of the proud place, no one laughed as if no one was around, the original digging action was big, and it was such a strange laugh, and several women next to him stopped their work on the ground and began to look at me, making me red-faced, "You are here, I'll go first." "Grabbed the tie and ran away on his shoulder, vaguely hearing the laughter of the woman coming from behind, and he had no face......

Dirty hands, there was no place to wash, I found a small restaurant, asked the guy to wash it with a basin of water, ordered two dishes, and made a pot of wine. Although the city is not large, it is also prosperous, after all, it is the way to enter Beijing from the west, and there are many shops on both sides of the street, and the consumption level is not low, and you can see the clue from the price of wine and food in the restaurant alone. The people are rich, the dress is not as gorgeous as the capital, but it is also solid, in the end it is the area along the river, the land is fertile, there are many fertile fields, the yield is high, and the grain output is nearly one percent higher than that of Wangjia Zhuangzi.

Relaxed, wandering around the city in a strange place, aimless, going to see everything, buying nothing, doing whatever you want, and feeling comfortable. Although it is said that the digging is early, and the back on the body is heavy and affects the image, but this is not the capital, there are no acquaintances, and there is no entourage. Ying, Ernu, and Lanling have long been left behind, first in the city, then outside the city, and then on the river beach, lonely and lonely, without worry, how fast!

"You sit at the bottom of the boat, sit tight, don't get up. In the afternoon, the water is more urgent than in the morning, and the locals in the capital are not used to it. The boatman was also afraid that something would happen, so he carried the blanket for me and pressed me down, "I don't get dizzy when I close my eyes, and I doze off and pass." ”

Although it looked very frustrating, I still came, it was better than in the morning, at least I went ashore and knew that I had paid the bill. The boatman was not polite, so he directly dug half a bag of soil ash and took it, claiming that he planned to regenerate seven or eight babies, and half a pocket may not be enough.

"I raise flowers." I was full of energy, and I answered confidently in the face of the boatman's doubts about the use of digging a large pile of earth back to it. "If the soil quality is good, the flowers will definitely bloom." With that, he walked away.

"The little marquis of the Wang family is not an ordinary majesty." As soon as I went up the slope of the ferry, I heard a familiar voice, "Overseer, planting?" Are you going to plant cotton even at other people's ferries? ”

Lan Ling, if you don't look back, you can know that it is her, and you can tell the difference just from the tone. "It's not just tomorrow, I follow it all day, and I'm lazy and catch a typical, it's not interesting." Lanling stood alone at the intersection of the road back to Zhuangzi, looking at me with a smile. He took off the blanket and handed it over, "Take it, don't scatter it." ”

"If you cross the boat and wade through the water, you dug up the soil and came back?" Lan Ling threw the blanket on the ground, took out a handkerchief and straightened my head, "Don't move, it's dirty, I'm embarrassed to go out." What about learning rats? The hole went to the hole. ”

"Hehe," I said with a smile, "but it's a good thing, a specialty of Weicheng." ”

On the way, he told Lan Ling the secret, Lan Ling smiled when he heard it, and snatched the blanket away, "It's all my land, and you two ladies will dig it again." ”

"Half a pocket is enough to give birth to seven or eight," remembered the words just now, knowing the amount of it. "You can't live alone with so much."

"That's not necessarily," Lan Ling twisted his face and smiled ambiguously, "Live in your Zhuangzi or my Zhuangzi at night?" ”

"Ah......h
