Chapter 345: Mountain Worm
Yu Niang has been just trying to have fun for days, and gradually her physical strength is exhausted, and she looks haggard. Chen also thought that his daughter was not feeling well, so he bought medicine to decoction for her.
This night, Fang Sheng came to meet Yu Niang again, and after the two met and sat down, Yu Niang said that this is not a long-term solution, the two Yin and Yang are separated from each other, how can they be together forever? She wants to be a real couple with Fang Sheng.
Fang Sheng saw that Yu Niang was getting haggard day by day, so he didn't feel distressed, so he hugged Yu Niang lovingly, and said, "I haven't been reincarnated in the Netherworld for so long because the wicked man who killed me buried me in the wilderness and pressed a big stone on me. If no one comes to save me, I can't be reincarnated for a day. Besides, even if one day, I can be reincarnated in the yang world, at that time, there is a huge age difference between you and me, and you have to wait until I am an adult before we can get married, can you bear this ordeal?"
Yu Niang said firmly: "As long as you can be reincarnated, I will wait for you no matter how bitter it is." If you are reincarnated now, I will not be sixteen years older than you, as long as you don't think I'm old then. Tell me, how can I save you?"
Fang Sheng was very moved when he heard this, and told her that at the foot of the West Mountain, there was a thousand-year-old ancient pine, and there was a big stone twenty steps north from the ancient pine, and his body was buried underneath, as long as someone removed the stone, and then his bones were buried in a sunny place on the hillside.
Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Fang Sheng left in a hurry. After having breakfast with her mother, Yu Niang used the excuse of going to the street to buy some silk thread in person, and Chen was not suspicious.
Yu Niang went out of the house, summoned two honest farmers with some silver, and went directly to Xishan. When she arrived at the foot of the West Mountain, Yu Niang really saw an ancient pine tree that had experienced vicissitudes, she identified the direction, walked twenty steps north from the ancient pine, and found the big stone. Yu Niang only said to the old farmer that the ancestors asked her to choose another place for burial. So, the two old peasants were not suspicious and just did what they were told.
After that, Fang Sheng no longer came to meet Yu Niang, and Yu Niang waited stupidly. A month later, a pregnant old woman in the neighborhood gave birth to a fat son, and the old couple had a son in old age, so they couldn't keep their mouths together, and named the child Jin Gui.
When Yu Niang heard about it, she used the excuse to see it, and when she saw that the boy was really very similar to Fang Sheng, and when she saw Yu Niang, she smiled "Gege", and the family was very happy, saying that this was the first time the child laughed after birth.
Yu Niang knew in her heart that this must be the reincarnation of that Fang Sheng, and her heart beat wildly and hugged the child over. The child smiled sweetly, scratching Yu Niang's face with chubby little hands, Yu Niang's heart was itchy, and he couldn't help but kiss the child. Yu Niang has lived in a simple house since then, waiting patiently.
The child Jin Gui grew up quickly, running all over the street, very lovely, he has average feelings for others, but he is very attached to Chen's mother and daughter, often run to Chen's house alone to play, when he is hungry Yu Niang will find him to eat, and when he is sleepy, he will sleep on Yu Niang's bed.
Later, Jin Gui grew up to adulthood, and sure enough, he had a soft spot for Yu Niang, who was 16 years older than him, and fell in love with Yu Niang deeply.
During this time, Yu Niang has never married, and when she saw the adult Jin Gui courting her, she nodded and agreed. The two families were very happy, and on an auspicious day, Yu Niang and Jin Gui entered into a marriage.
Yu Niang didn't know if Jin Gui knew anything about his previous life, and seeing that he hadn't mentioned it, he hadn't said it, and the two of them loved each other and lived very happily.
Later, with the support of Yu Niang, Jin Gui won the top prize in the examination and became the prefect, and his relationship with Yu Niang is increasing day by day.
10. Mountain gods and juvenile folk tales
1
The old mountain god was awakened by an explosion, and a wave of anger rushed to his head. He stomped his foot on the top of Lei Gong Cliff, which he had been accustomed to for thousands of years.
If he had stomped his feet like this when he was young, the catalpa forest under the cliff would have fallen a leaf on the ground; But now, he was old, and all he had stomped in exchange for was a pain in his foot, and he didn't even make a sound. The majesty of the eight sides calling for wind and rain is no more.
He struggled to ride the wind and flew in the direction of the smoke and dust, and found that another cliff had collapsed. The pungent smell of gunsmoke was unbearable for him, and he sneezed seven or eight times in a row.
At the foot of the cliff, there was a dense clanging sound, and people were busy processing and carrying stones, like ants meeting rice.
"That's amazing...... Presumptuous! The mountain god plucked off an old beard, bit it off with a rattle, and spat it into the air, which was obviously mixed with a high concentration of dust.
"This day...... It's destroyed quickly, and it's worth 10,000 years a year......"
The old mountain god sighed and flew back to the Lei Gong Cliff with great difficulty. Having lost the ability to recite incantations, he could only sit on a stone and sulk.
The mountain god and the young and old mountain god are often hidden, and his whereabouts will not be discovered by ordinary people.

This whale mountain has been bitten by mountain insects. The loss of the mountain caused the old mountain god to suffer a great deal of vitality, and accelerated his aging more and more obviously.
What is a mountain worm? Caterpillar? No. Cabbage worms? No. Ladybug? Neither is it. They are not worms, they are people. The croppers at the foot of Whale Mountain have mined mountain rocks for generations, chiseled into stone pillows, stone mills, stone piles and other profiles, and sold them in exchange for firewood, rice, oil and salt. Quarrying is not only a chore and a dangerous one, but also requires a good craft. Those with weak bodies and stupid minds can only look at the mountains and sigh, but they can't be mountain insects.
Now, human beings have a great ability to transform mountains and rivers, and the progress of one month is indeed worth the centuries of the past, no wonder the old mountain god is worried day and night.
Wu Feng's father, Wu Fool, is an old mountain worm.
Don't think that Wu Fool is really a fool, his nickname was given to him by the people in the village. He has eaten mountains for more than 30 years, and he never uses ink lines for chisel door pillow stones, and his eyes are squinted as rulers; He opened the stone according to the specifications, which was similar to cutting tofu with a knife.
The people of the city did not understand how the stele and the stone stake were carved out - the pioneer inserted a steel drill hole in the cliff wall, filled it with gunpowder, sealed it, lit the fuse and detonated it violently, and a boulder as big as a cabinet fell down.
The clever mountain insect measures the material, draws a straight line on the stone as needed, chiseles out a number of small nests on the straight line, and then uses steel wedges to support in turn, with the afterburner of turns, the boulder will suddenly crack due to the collusion of the row of wedge nests, and divide into two. Wu Fool is the best at wedge opening stones, not only fast, but also foolproof.
"Wu Feng, you really don't want to study anymore?" There was anger in Dad's eyes.
"I don't want to." The son said weakly, "I can't keep up with my homework." β
"I shouldn't have given birth to you!"
The son does not squeak.
"The children of the old Chen family have all been admitted to the county No. 1 middle school, and his old Chen can't even move a hundred catties of stones, but other people's children are angry! Hu Mazi's granddaughter went to a military school, which door pillow stone in his Hu Mazi house was not chiseled by me? He has a pair of pig's paw hands, and he can't do anything! I'm Wu ...... A fool is a fool, how many stone tablets have I carved in my life! It's good that you can't keep up, so you read the book at home! β
"I ...... Can't remember...... I have a headache. β
"Why didn't it hurt you! So what do you want to do? Biting the mountain? Don't regret it! β
"I ...... No regrets......"
"Say it again! You're trying to me off! β
With a click, Dangda's old cigarette stick of hollow wood was broken, and the tiger's mouth was cut, and the blood flowed......

The old mountain god saw a child with thin arms and legs following his father's ass and hooking his head into the mountain. The old mountain worm had a gloomy face, and his son was as light as a shadow.
At the foot of the mountain, the machine roared to crush the gravel, and the dust rolled up by the vibrating screen came to the face. The son was prepared in advance, took out a mask and put it on, but was taken off by his father, thrown on a soak of cow dung, and stepped on it. "You don't pretend to be a son for me! If you are a loach, don't be afraid of muddy eyes! Don't be a loach if you're afraid of muddy eyes! β
The "loach" looked at the mask and didn't dare to pick it up.
After this section, step by step, the cliff that was blown open by humans greeted me. Its color contrasts with the surrounding vegetation. A few people hung like spiders hanging from high places to clean up, priing off the stones that had been blown up but did not fall off, so as not to endanger the safety of the construction workers below.
After three turns and five turns, the father took his son to his own mountain pond. Without a cigarette stick, Dad took out his purse and rolled a cigarette, but he didn't light it for a long time.
"You ......," the old mountain worm glanced at his son and said in disgust, "Pile up these dozen pairs of door sleeper stones and pull them down the mountain another day!" β
The son nodded, and the cat waist went to move one of them, but he took it off, and the stone did not move.
The old mountain god laughed. This baby can eat and can't work.
"You're laughing fart!" The father scolded his son, he thought it was his son laughing.
The son said, "I'm not smiling." β
The old mountain god will not be easily seenβunless he wants to.
"You can't even move a stone, so what should I do? Then you chisel the door pillow stone, the stove prince will not give people porridge to eat in vain! β
"No, I can move stones. I didn't use my energy just now. β
The son remembered the difficulties at school, and the relief of going home made him have no hesitation. He couldn't catch up with his homework in the second semester of his first year of junior high school. He doesn't like to listen to lectures, let alone do homework, so it is inevitable that he will be ridiculed by white eyes. He has posted advertisements, stayed overnight in Internet cafes, and now he talks about working hard, which is no different from fishing for the moon in the water. The teenager's studies have been abandoned, he can't find the starting line when he catches up, it's useless to talk nonsense with his eyes closed, he can only face reality.
My son took off his shirt, and it was hot. But his father had to force him to put on a canvas apron. He gritted his teeth and carried stones, one by one, and one by one.
"Daddy, I'm thirstyβ"
"If you are thirsty, you will be thirsty, and you will come home at noon and have water to drink." Dad said coldly.
The son swallowed hard, but there was not a trace of saliva. The inside of both arms had worn out the skin, and the lower back hurt so much that I couldn't stand up. Dad glared at him and said, "Those rocks you moved are enough for you to eat?" Grinding, you think the mountain insect is so good! β
The son burst into tears.
"What's the use of shedding tears!" The heart of the old mountain insect is as hard as iron, "After moving the nest with steel chisel!" Dad kicked a ruler-long steel drill and a hammer, and said, "It's almost noon, can you cheer up a little?" β
The boy lifted his canvas apron and wiped the sweat from his brain, when suddenly his calf cramped, closed his eyes and sat down silently.
"Dad, it's time for us to rest."
"You open your eyes and watch, you will rest when I rest!"
"I'm so tired!"
"You're not tired, it's much easier than studying! How hard it is to study! You get up for me! β
Dad either wedged or carried stones, and worked until the sun was crooked over the top. Wu Feng begged his father: "I'm not going home, bring me some water and rice!" β
When he had said that, he lay down and laid his head on a rock, no matter how panicked he was.
The old mountain god shouted: "It's almost! β
"What did you just say?" Dad asked his son.
The son closed his eyes and couldn't open them, saying, "I'm going to sleep for a while......"
"Do you think there are steamed buns on the table? Your pants are torn and you can't cover your ass, dare to walk on the street? Where I owe you in my life, I will pay it back in this life. How can I repair a house if I don't have money? How can I get a wife for you if you don't have a house? The old cow is dead with a knife, and I am stronger than a cow, so I will not be stabbed after the end of the force. If you don't study hard, you want my life. How can we have money if we don't work? β
Dad and son worked silently in the pond, like two people they didn't know, often without saying a word at the end of the day. Or carry the material stone, or use steel chisel wedge nests, the boy really feels like a year.
He didn't tell anyone, and secretly entered the Octagon City. He wanted to visit his alma mater. If possible, he wants to go to school. Life in the mountain pond is like a soldering iron, branding his body and heart.
When he walked into the school gate, he didn't meet a single acquaintance, which made him very sure. But when he saw the list of participants in the city's math Olympiad on a bulletin board, it was as if another soldering iron had burned his heart again. It's too deep for me to be deserted, and I still want to take this road, it's too difficult!
He stopped going inside, silently turned around, and went home.

The blazing sun scorched the mountain pond like a smoking pot.
The old mountain god shook the boy awake.
"Child, you can't be a mountain worm!"
The boy didn't want to get up, he felt like he had broken his skeleton and broken tendons, and he just wanted to sleep.
"Then I...... When what...... This? He asked absentmindedly.
"Whatever you are, you can't be a mountain worm. You get up and speak! β
The boy grinned and sat up. When he saw an old man, he asked, "Didn't the old ancestor say that he would rely on the mountain to eat the mountain?" β
"Mountain, it's not so delicious!"
"Isn't this whale mountain eaten by us? That's almost a fifth! β
"Then do you know that people eat mountains, and mountains also eat people? In 40 years, 28 people have been eaten by the mountain! As soon as the old mountain god remembered his magic, he couldn't help but get excited.
"I've heard of it. My grandfather broke a leg, and Lao Chen's second uncle killed him by blowing off a squib......"
"Then you should find another way to make a living, you humans often say......"
"We humans? That...... What are you doing? The boy asked.
"I ......," the mountain god made up his mind, and said, "you ask me, and I tell you, I am the mountain god!" β
"What nonsense!" The boy said, "You old man is funny. You are the god of the mountain, and I am the Jade Emperor! β
The old mountain god said, "I advise you not to be a mountain worm, because being a mountain worm will not end well." β
"What does it say in "The Snake Catcher Says"? I can't remember, anyway, it seems to have been said that those who die will die, and those who should catch snakes will catch snakes. β
"Are you iron-hearted? Are you not afraid of retribution? β
"There's nothing to fear me now. Retribution? We'll see! β
The old mountain god was very disappointed, and he turned into a wisp of fresh wind, and disappeared with the shaking of a mountain flower. Only then did the young man feel that something was wrong, and he recalled what the old man had just said, but he felt challenged. Retribution? Aren't we living well?

Wu Fool bought a mountain cart welded with channel steel.
The cattle are original and have been raised for several years. The old acacia wood car fell apart, and the shotgun was replaced.
Pulling stones down the mountain from the spiraling winding mountain road is dangerous one step at a time, so the proverb says: It is better to fall out with Hades than to drive a cart to pull the mountain.
Pull the stone down, even load and unload, a car of foot money 30 yuan, get up early and be greedy for seven or eight times a day, and the days are not worried.
"Dad, I'm going to learn how to drive." Wu Feng has become much stronger, and he can eat four or five steamed buns in one meal.
"Rushing to the car? Don't think about it in your life, kid. Chen Congye's second uncle was stoned to death by Lashan. You go into the pond chisel wedge nest, one by one to chisel straight slippery, each interval to be even, you hand raw, you can draw the line first. Do you hear that? β
"I just want to catch a car. Let me go to Lashan! β
"No! A wedge nest is a wedge nest! "Dad's temper has the genes of the rock, and there is no room for negotiation.
The old mountain god saw that the latter was squatting in the mountain pond like a shrimp, and when he went down with a hammer, the tip of the steel drill pecked at the stone, and with the bloom of the sparks, clusters of stone chips flew like locusts, scrambling to bite the tender face and leach out blood. Fortunately, his father gave him a pair of mesh goggles, otherwise he would have been blind.
"You'd better pull it down, kid." The old mountain god turned into a one-legged mountain worm and stood opposite the boy and said.
Click! Click! Click! The boy kept chiseling and said, "I already know that you are the god of the mountains." Thank you, but now I just want to be a mountain worm, and I want to survive! β
The old mountain god turned into a breeze and left, he mourned for himself and for mankind. He sat on the top of Lei Gong Cliff for a long time, like a wood carving.
