When Yao Guoliang heard that there was such a strange thing, he patted his thigh regretfully and said that it would be good if he went up the mountain to carry water later, so that he could also follow to see and see.

"What? Are you still joining in the fun? It's not that my strong son looks down on you, just your guts, I'm afraid that you will faint when you hear your rich sister-in-law scream twice! Zhao Weiqiang joked on the side, and Fang Qing and I laughed at the same time.

"Let go of your mother's fart, I'm a dignified seven-foot man and I'm still afraid of my mother's crying?" Yao Guoliang obviously felt that he was losing face in front of Fang Qing.

"You are hot-blooded, you are mighty, you are tall, you have the ability, you go to the grave tonight to sleep for one night, and my strong son will obey you!"

"Sleep and sleep, since I can defeat all the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, don't I even dare to sleep on the grave!"

These two people are like eating gunpowder, you and I are scolded.

Seeing that the scene was a little out of control, I interjected and said that the four of us are gathered together in a piece of land, don't mess around on things, don't look down on glasses (glasses are the nickname we gave Yao Guoliang, because he reads books and sees that he is severely myopia, and he has been wearing a pair of thick glasses on the bridge of his nose, and he doesn't even take them off when he sleeps), glasses You are an activist who learns from Mao Xuan, don't be dirty, we have the least number of educated youth, don't make a contradiction and spread it to other villages.

The two of them stood up excitedly to argue, but when I said this, they really felt a little extreme, and they both sat down and tilted their heads to look at each other embarrassedly.

"Don't be like the little daughter-in-law, the old man has something to say openly in person, but remember one thing: speak thoroughly, you can scold your mother, and you are not allowed to hold grudges!" Fang Qing saw that the two were still a little awkward, and learned the tone of a gay man.

Glasses and Qiangzi laughed shamelessly when they heard Fang Qing say this, and sure enough, a thousand words could not be worth a woman's words.

It didn't take long for everyone to talk to each other again, as if nothing had happened, but I was still thinking about what Yanni said at this time, if her father came back and saw that the donkey's hooves were gone, would he really beat her.

I think that although the idea was made by Lao Li, in the end it was Yanni who I persuaded that I was more or less half responsible for this matter, and I still had to go to the door and explain it to Yanni and her father.

At this time, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening, and it was black outside, so I took a kerosene lamp and went to Yanni's house, although they said that they wanted to accompany me, but I felt that the more people there were, the more unclear the explanation would be, and I didn't know what happened when I saw this battle, so I might as well go to find out the wind first, so I politely declined.

Although this point is not late, but the village has seen less than half a figure, there is no electricity in the mountain village every household went to bed early, I walked fast, kerosene lamps with the left and right swaying flickering, from time to time can still hear a few bird calls, there are many strange birds in the mountains, some of the calls are like children laughing a little crazy.

During this time, I stayed with the three living treasures all day long, and the conversation would talk about strange ghost things, especially the glasses and miscellaneous books I read and told us a lot, at this time I somehow suddenly appeared in my mind those terrifying pictures.

Although I knew that this was a feudal superstition and could not be taken seriously, I was still a little timid, and I always felt that something was following me, so I subconsciously looked back without taking a few steps.

My heart has been hanging all this way, the more I go, the more I think, the more afraid I am, the faster I walk, the kerosene lamp carrying the handle swayed violently back and forth and made a creaking sound, just when I was about to reach the path of Yanni's house, suddenly the afterglow swept to the low wall on the right There was a black shadow.

My body slammed in the head as if it had been pricked by a needle, and my conditioned reflex jerked my arm holding the kerosene lamp high up towards the black shadow, and a man in a blue and blue shirt meditating cross-legged sat on the wall pier with his eyes closed.

"Old Li Tou! You're going to scare people to death at night! I gasped and cursed, it turned out that the person on this wall was Lao Li Tou, who I saw at the village chief's door during the day.

Lao Li Tou ignored it, still cross-legged and his eyes closed, and under the light of the light, he could clearly see the raised cheekbones on his face, and his face looked even more sallow.

"Uncle Li, what are you doing here?" I breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask in a different tone.

At this time, he slowly opened his eyes, his palms that were originally closed slowly loosened, his right hand reached into his robe, took out a dry smoke gun, took out two puffs, and finally opened his mouth when he swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog: "What is the blind running at night?" Yang Qi is deficient, be careful of getting into trouble with unclean things......"

Obviously, he scared me sturdy, and in the end blamed me for running blindly, but his answer made me not know how to pick up the stubble, so I simply didn't bother to pay attention to him, and simply replied "It's okay, wander around" and strode away.

When I was seven or eight paces away from him, he called out to me again, telling me to go to him if I had something, and I was also confused, what could I do to find you old smoking gun.

After crossing this path and turning a corner, Yanni's house, although her family is a big hunter in the village, but still lives in a yellow-skinned mud house, with a few black wooden sticks standing on the bed, and there is not even a curtain to cover the wind.

Fortunately, the door of Yanni's house was hidden, and there was still a little light through the crack in the door, and it seemed that they had not rested.

I was standing in the doorway and getting dressed and was about to fasten the brass ring on the door, when I heard Yanni's sobbing, followed by her father's scolding.

Seeing that the situation was not right, maybe this little girl had been beaten by her father, and I didn't care about calling the door straight into the door, and walked through the stove room to the hall, where the walls were surrounded by animal skins and hunting gear, and Yanni sat on the wooden chair under the skin and wiped her tears with the corners of her sleeves, and her father Pan Shun sat on an old-fashioned table of eight immortals and poured wine.

Pan Shun was stunned for a moment when he saw me suddenly appear, and then his frowning brows relaxed and said to me with a smile: "Xiaoyu, why are you here, sit down quickly." ”

Yanni and her father are such a person, although they don't talk much in front of us, they are always polite, and they often hunt some game to help us, so my impression of him in my heart is still very good, but at this time I saw Yanni so sad, and her nose was also sour.

I said to Pan Shun: "Uncle, don't blame Yanni, I asked her to do this, if you want to beat or scold me, I will never fight back!" ”

Pan Shun drank the wine in one gulp, sighed and said, "You don't know the origin of such a thing, this ...... Hey, forget it, Nier, I don't blame you, don't cry......"

Pan Shun originally met someone when he went up the mountain to hunt, and the left side of his face was scratched, and even his eyeballs fell off, so he wore a black blindfold all the year round, at this time he put the blindfold down and looked at Yanni in a daze, maybe this scolding also made him feel distressed.

Yanni still lowered her head and sobbed, I stood there dumbfounded, perhaps afraid of embarrassment, Pan Shun invited me to sit down and have a drink.

When I was in the city, I occasionally drank some red stars with my father, but the burning knives in the village were so strong that I didn't touch them much, but the atmosphere was a little stiff, so I sat down at the table.

This colorful porcelain cup is not so much a wine glass as a wine bowl, a cup full of two, two, seven or eight, there are some hare meat on the table, I am hungry for this mouthful, so I began to drink.

Men are like this, before drinking and after drinking are two people, even if the stuffy eggs before drinking a few taels of yellow soup will become philosophers, thinkers, politicians, anything can catch up with the stubble, I and him, an old and a young man after pushing the cup and changing the lamp, also talked more and more, and finally he took the initiative to talk to me about the origin of the donkey's hooves.

Ten years ago, when Yanni was three years old, Pan Shun's second child was about to be born.

At that time, the conditions in the countryside were even more difficult than now, but it was not common for a family to have three or four children, not because women in the countryside could give birth, but because they were not as squeamish as the girls in the city.

But such a simple condition will also bury a lot of hidden dangers, children have dystocia, adults hemorrhage also happen from time to time, the rich sister-in-law has made such a fuss, and Pan Shun's daughter-in-law has also encountered this disaster.

Giving birth to a child is a happy event in the village, especially in a small village like Jilian, on the day of delivery, the whole village came around to help with something, but Wen Po was stunned from early morning until noon, and she couldn't deliver the fetus.

Giving birth to a child is also a hard work, and I can persist for an hour by struggling with all my might, but Yanni and her mother have been tossing for so long, and people have long been exhausted, and Wen Po is also anxious enough, and she has never encountered this situation after delivering so many people, so she shouted the password to let Yanni and her mother exert all her strength again.

As soon as the password came out, Yan Niniang used up her last strength, and the person immediately fainted.

Wen Po was so frightened that she hurriedly found Pan Shun, and Pan Shun put her trembling hand against her daughter-in-law's nose to test it, but she lost her breath.

With two lives, Pan Shun almost fainted on the ground, but a group of women carried him out of the house.

The original happy event became a funeral, and no one could accept it, Pan Shun was angry and called there, but the poor thing was that Yanni, a three-year-old girl, was also crying with her father, and she didn't understand what happened to her mother.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a blue shirt came out of the crowd, saying that he had a way to try.

When everyone heard about it, it was the old Li Tou who fled to the village a few days ago.

Lao Li Tou asked Pan Shun to hurry up and find the donkey's hooves that had not seen the light, the sooner the better, if the sun set, the mountain fairy would be difficult to save.

Pan Shun had no other way but to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and when he raised his feet, he went around looking for donkey hooves.

He searched village by village and could not find the pregnant female donkey, and finally he could only run to the town, and ran for more than 30 miles in one breath, and finally found out in the town that a butcher had a donkey at home, and the female donkey happened to be waiting to give birth.

According to common sense, the livestock to be born will not be slaughtered no matter what, because it is too lacking in virtue and impairs Yangshou, but I don't know what method he used to beg for help, and finally got a donkey's hoof.

When he turned back more than thirty miles all the way, the sky was already dark, and the feet in straw sandals were even more bloody and blurry. But time has passed, Lao Li Tou kept shaking his head with the bloody donkey's hooves, and Yanni and her mother and the child were not rescued in the end.

Pan Shun didn't know whether it was a tendon or felt that Lao Litou's Taoism was too shallow, he always felt that his daughter-in-law and children could be saved, so he put the donkey's hooves in a bottle and soaked them in a freshly hung burning knife for embalming, in order to meet a person who was more powerful than Lao Li Tou one day and save his daughter-in-law.

Soon after, something happened to the donkey's hoof, which had not seen the light, and he was scratched by someone while driving the mountain, and since then he has lost half of his face, and he can only rely on an eye patch to cover it so as not to frighten others.

That bottle of donkey hooves has become Pan Shun's biggest thought about his daughter-in-law, but now it is used by me and Yanni to save the rich sister-in-law.

As he spoke, old tears fell from the side, and Yanni threw herself into his arms and cried bitterly.

At this moment, I feel extremely heavy in my heart, I didn't expect Yanni's family to have such a sad thing, in the past ten years, their father and daughter have made a living by hunting, and the hardships they have endured are not something I can experience in these three words.

It is said that it is better for me to retreat in this kind of scene, but I still said dizzily with the strength of wine: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely get you another donkey's hoof back!" ”

Pan Shun also drank high, he slapped my arm with excitement and said, "Brother, you are so righteous and angry, then I am waiting for your good news!" ”

The mood can not be contained, especially the drunk people can not listen to persuasion at all, the two of us drank two glasses with a little hare bones, and finally called the brother and brother, and asked Yanni afterwards, she said that the two of us almost burned yellow paper and kowtowed.

This matter is not over, I naturally did not take the drunken words seriously, as usual, about half a month, my brother who was behind suddenly hurried to the Zhiqing point to find me.
