I say, there are exceptions to everything, do you believe it?

My hometown, Wuliang, is the village where the reeds and snow flew in the past, and it was once a gift to the capital Beijing. I'll tell you frankly, it's a sweet potato.

This is not your average sweet potato, this is the "sweet potato king".

On the day of the National Day in 1958, Wuliang Village, Yinghe Commune, Yingping County, presented a piece of sweet potato about 1.02 meters long and weighing 198 kilograms to Beijing, known as the "King of Sweet Potatoes"! This sweet potato could have grown in the field for a few more days, and it might have been more than 200 catties in a few more days. But I can't wait, and I'm anxious to give a gift to "Eleven". So he sent a big truck early, scooped up the surrounding soil, fixed it in a special large wooden crate (and hoped it would be long) and loaded it on the car, accompanied by cadres at the provincial, prefectural, and county levels. At that time, the old uncle had not yet become the branch secretary, so he was only sent to the county with him.

If you can look up old newspapers from 50 years ago (October 1, 1958) on the Internet, you will find that on that day all newspapers across the country reported that it was a "great miracle...... The weight published in the newspaper is 199.9 pounds!

This "sweet potato king" first went through a grand dedication ceremony. Then it was placed in a special glass cabinet and placed in the most eye-catching position in the No. 7 exhibition hall of the Agricultural Exhibition Hall, as a National Day gift for the world to observe. After being admired by tens of millions of people, and after layers of instructions from above, the "Sweet Potato King" has become a subject of research by experts. In that year, a group of national-level agricultural experts were mobilized and a research group codenamed "5811" was set up to conduct special research and prepare to spread it to the whole country...... If it can be promoted, Chinese will no longer have to worry about eating.

Later, after three months of slicing research, the experts of the "5811" research group measured the sugar content of this sweet potato to be 27.8 per 100 grams; The vitamin content is as high as 23.6; cellulose is 3.12; In addition, it contains calcium, iron, selenium, phosphorus, potassium, and a red pulp, which is naturally an excellent variety. In this regard, the experts went to the sweet potato field on the eastern slope of Wuliang to conduct a field investigation, and finally discovered the secret of the growth of this sweet potato: there was once a well in this field. After research, this well was drilled by Liang Wufang's grandfather's grandfather when he was planting melons in the field. It was a 120-year-old well. The well was silted up many years ago, and this rare sweet potato grows in the mouth of the former well...... At that time, the experts concluded that deep ploughing could be promoted.

If it is as it is now, the conclusion should be: there is no reproducibility.

The reason why I tell you this is that even a sweet potato plant can change the trajectory of life.

Now, I'm going to tell you about the tree.

As I said, in the absence of beams, not a single leaf is clean. That's because of the wind.

The wind on the plains is not strong, just one word: thorough. I also said that in Wuliang, the wind has an elegant name: the name is "Siberia". When "Siberia" crossed the mountains and reached the plains with great difficulty, it must have been very surprised: how could there be such a place? A horse is flat, and Ren Er gallops.

When the wind arrives at this time, do you feel a little tired and it's time to rest? It was like a bullet shot from afar, and the farther it went, the heavier it became, and the fine dust with mass fell on the trees of the plains. Here, the wind is silent on the tree, and it rarely blows the tree down. But it invades and touches half of your face again and again all year round, so what will happen?

In the countryside of the plains, the only thing that can shelter people is the trees. There are many kinds of trees, and there are at least 20 kinds of the most primitive ones, such as elm, mulberry, acacia, neem, paulownia, tsubaki, willow, persimmon, peach, apricot, ...... It is the main tree species. With abundant rain and four distinct seasons, it is said to be the most suitable place for plants to grow. Frankly, there are no pillars here.

In the plains, the struggle between the trees and the wind is long-lasting, long-lasting, and fate-to-fate, like a pair of old enemies. If you taste the sap of the tree, you will find that it is bitter. If it is a fruit tree, or a tree with a sweeter sap, if you don't spray it, it will definitely be infested. The trees on the plains have one of the most terrifying, and subtle commonalities, and that is after they leave the land: they are transformed.

For example, willow trees are the easiest to grow here. This tree has a short growth cycle, take a branch, and insert it to live. Spring buds are like pox buds, and the leaves are long when the wind comes, one day at a time. But the willow tree is a windward thing, the willow branches are soft, the willow leaves are slender, and they dance when they see the wind, and they bend when they encounter the situation. Although this tree is extremely elastic, it is woody and loose, without tendons and bones, and it is most easily deformed.

For example, elm trees have a slow growth cycle, rough and white skin, and the wood is quite solid. When spring comes, it blooms with green, strings of coin-shaped flowers, with a seed in the middle, commonly known as "elm money". After flowering, the leaves are old, and the green is also old. This is the watchman tree on the plains, in the event of a disaster year, "elm money" can be eaten, elm leaves can also be eaten, to the time of helplessness, even the elm bark has been stripped and eaten. The bark of the elm tree is stripped and eaten from generation to generation, and its life memory itself is incomplete. Such tree species, because of their high water content, are also the most susceptible to deformation after leaving the land.

For example, the growth cycle of this tree is generally more than 15 years, the cycle is slightly longer, and the wood is naturally hard. This tree also seems to have a sense of self-preservation, with edged spikes growing on its branches, and the sap of the tree is yellow and bitter like medicine. This tree blooms small spike-like white flowers in spring, commonly known as locust flowers. The sap of the locust tree is bitter and sweet, and farmers often pick it when the flowers bloom and steam it to eat. It can also be eaten raw, sweet. After the flowers open, they have small fan-shaped round leaves, and one branch spreads out in a fan-like shape. However, the tree is also prone to deformation after leaving the land, and three days after cutting, it will not bend into shape.

For example, the neem tree has a short growth cycle, the tree shape is straight, straight and beautiful, with long pinnate compound leaves, and the branches and leaves are also fan-like stretching, and it bears egg-shaped yellow small fruits after ten months, commonly known as "neem". In the old days, "neem" could be used for laundry in farmhouses. The neem tree is known as "neem semi-dry" in the eyes of craftsmen in the countryside, because it contains less water and more oil. But the upright is external, because its wood is soft, the wood is straight and gallless, and it is easy to deform after cutting, so it can only be used as a board after the fire is smoked.

For example, the Tsubaki tree, red toon, white toon, also commonly known as toon, stinky toon. The smell of almond is particularly strong and very unpleasant; The toon has a positive flavor and can be used as a seasoning for cold dishes...... Villagers take the meaning of "spring" and often use it as a bed to promote the great event of reproduction. Although the wood is delicate and the wood color is bright, the material is soft, brittle, and easy to deform.

For example, the jujube tree, the star is broken and the small white flowers are broken, and the fruits are mostly stupid jujubes, which are big but not sweet...... The body of the jujube tree is pimple, ugly and invisible, although the wood is hard and wear-resistant, but the growth is extremely slow, or crooked, it is difficult to be a big material, it can only be made into small utensils such as rolling pins, and it is also the most easy to deform.

…… Weird, right?

In the countryside of the plains, there are also two words about trees, two words that are used to judge the growth state of plants: one is "deaf" and the other is "tile damage". "Deafness" is a judgment that a tree is missing in its growth state. It is a kind of sound that comes out, and it is based on the sound to judge the lack of the tree in the growth, and the skilled craftsman will know whether the tree is "deaf" by knocking on the trunk; "Tile loss" is a kind of skeuomorphic metaphor. The tiles on the house are semi-circular arcs, and the annual rings of the tree are circular and circular. "Tile damage" is seen with the eyes, and a good craftsman can see at a glance whether the tree is "tile damaged". This is a method used by craftsmen to determine the quality of life of trees on the plains.

Of course, there are also those that are not deformed, very rarely, such as pines and cypresses. In the plains, pines and cypresses are the closest plants to death. Due to their long growth cycle, they are generally planted in tombs, becoming a kind of "eternal" guardian of death. Even if it is a pine and cypress, under the long-term blowing of the plain wind, even if it is not deformed, the body of the tree will open the flesh and crack into flesh filaments. There is a saying on the plains: the spring breeze cracks the stone. This is another kind of mildness that creates tragedy.

In my childhood memories, Wuliang had a person who knew trees best, and that was the Ninth Master. I heard that at that time, the ninth master was the head of the craftsman in the village. Clay and wood, he is the leader. Whenever he walked on the road, he held a copper cigarette pouch with a long pole in his hand, followed by more than a dozen apprentices, and was very respected.

In Wuliang, anyone who cuts down trees and buys trees, whether it is a paulownia tree, a poplar tree, a locust tree, a Tsubaki tree, an elm tree, a willow tree, or a jujube tree, a catalpa tree, a neem tree, a mulberry tree, or a pear tree, must let the Nine Masters take a look. The Ninth Master understands the language of trees. Jiu Ye stood in front of the tree, squinting his eyes and looking up, and then slowly looked down, like looking at a woman...... Then he gently knocked it with the copper cigarette stick in his hand, and it was finalized. One of the things that the Ninth Master often says is: Trees are the same as people.

It is said that in the early years, the Ninth Master once showed people a thick tree, which was a big tree. Jiu Ye stood in front of the tree, looked at it, lit the cigarette pouch pot, took a few puffs, and then said: Don't say it. The person who bought the tree said, "Lao Jiu, you can't do this." The tree seller also said, "Lao Jiu, you can't do this." The ninth master said: Do you want me to say it? Then I'll say. The one who bought the tree said: Say. You said. The tree seller said: Lao Jiu, what do you say? Don't spit out. Only then did the Ninth Master say: This tree is "deaf". "Tile loss". The buyer of the tree said, "What do you mean?" The tree seller also said: Lao Jiu, why do you say that? The ninth master said: This tree is a good tree. That is, twelve years ago, there was a drought, and the water supply was not available, and the annual rings were scattered for two years. The tree seller was in a hurry and said, "No, right?" How can you tell? The ninth master said: Raise your head, you look up. The paulownia trees are all large-leaved, here and there, each with two branches, and it is a canopy of small leaves, which is deaf. The tree seller said, "Isn't that the old owl's nest?" I don't believe it. Go out. Out now. Deaf count me in!

Later, after the tree was cut down, everyone went up and counted the rings, and sure enough, they saw the missing rings at the twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh places...... And they obeyed.

Although the ninth master is the best craftsman in Wuliang, and the ninth master knows the language of the tree best, the ninth master has no achievements in his life. From his words, you can see that the Ninth Master is good-tempered, the Ninth Master is too gentle, and the Ninth Master does not want to offend people. One of the best craftsmen was defeated by his apprentice in the end, which was the most frustrating thing for the Ninth Master.

Do you know what "Southern Tang and Northern Liang" is?

This is called "word of mouth". It is a kind of reputation that has been passed down by word of mouth in the countryside of the plains, and the area of transmission is about twenty or thirty square kilometers, and the time of transmission is also very short, only a few years, and no one has mentioned it since. I don't think you know.

In my childhood memories, there was a time when "Southern Tang and Northern Liang" was called very loudly. Nantang, pointing to the bearded Tang of Nangezhuang. The North Liang refers to the Liang Wufang of Wuliang Village. At that time, both of them were loud craftsmen on the plains. But the age difference between the two is thirty years.

It seems that in 1963, the town government built an assembly hall and mobilized two classes of craftsmen at the same time. The first class was led by Tang Dabeard from Nangezhuang, and he had dozens of apprentices under him. The other class is led by the ninth master of Wuliang Village, and the ninth master also has a group of apprentices, while Liang Wufang is the apprentice of the ninth master.

The two classes of craftsmen participated in the construction of the Great Hall at the same time, so naturally there were some unconvincing aspects between them. At that time, Tang Huzi of Nangezhuang was in his prime, and he naturally personally sat in the "House Mountain" in the north, and two big apprentices gave him a hand; And the "House Mountain" in the south should have been controlled by the ninth master, but the ninth master is old, and his legs are a little weak...... Just as he was hesitating, Wufang said: Ninth Master, I'll go up. Jiu Ye looked at him, although Liang Wufang was only eighteen years old, he was the smartest apprentice under him. The Ninth Master nodded and only said two words: Be careful.

At that time, the eighteen-year-old Liang Wufang was strong and angry, and he actually dared to fight against Tang Dabeard, the senior of Nangezhuang. It is rumored that Tang Dabeard didn't take him seriously at all at first, and said to Jiu Ye: Lao Jiu, your crotch is rotten? The Ninth Master smiled and was silent. After that, the two of them each put a house on the top of the mountain, layer by layer, and when they waited for the beam, it was not bad!

You must know that Tang Dabeard brought two apprentices to fight; Liang Wufang is alone...... Jiu Ye, who was sitting below, quietly hung with an ink thread, and put a heart in his stomach.

Since Tang Dabeard personally went into battle, he naturally refused to lose. But Tang's bearded temper was too bad, seeing that the other party was just a young man, he could actually fight a draw, his face couldn't hold back, and he scolded in his mouth, saying "day", scolding the two big apprentices to the point of blood...... Although Liang Wufang, who was facing against him here, said that he was silent, but he would never lag behind in every brick, ash, knife and seam. So angry that Tang Hu dropped all the brick knives!

When the Great Hall was capped, Tang's beard was the first to spine, and it was a dragon. Tang Dabeard is a master of dragon molding, and a brick can cut out a living dragon's mouth; Liang Wufang's side should also be a dragon, that is, "two dragons playing with pearls". But Liang Wufang's plastic is not a dragon, Wufang is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and he also has the heart to call for battle with Tang Dabeard, he has an idea, and he actually molds a unicorn. This finally made Tang Beard grasp it, and Tang Beard shouted: Go down! Do you know the rules? Buttocks!

However, the apprentices below shouted, and the people in the north said, "A dragon is a dragon, can this be nonsense?" Dog Ball doesn't understand! The people in the south said: Qilin, just Qilin, why don't you let the Qilin be plastic, why ...... the "dragon's back", it is a reason; "Kirin Spine" is also a reason. As a result, the two construction teams refused to give in to each other and almost fought.

The ninth master is the foreman of Wuliang's side, and the ninth master also thinks it is inappropriate, which is not in accordance with the rules. But before the ninth master could speak, someone spoke. It is said that the person who spoke was surnamed Qiao, a deputy secretary of the county, and a cultural person who wore glasses, and he happened to come down to inspect the work. Secretary Qiao stretched out his hand when inspecting the construction site and said: Hey, there is a dragon on one side and a unicorn on the other, which is a bit interesting, ah? Lao Cao, do you know, this is called asymmetrical beauty, which is very distinctive.

When the secretary of the commune saw Secretary Qiao say this, he followed and said: Dragon Qilin, just Dragon Qilin. As a result, the secretary of the commune made a final decision, and the commune auditorium was called the "dragon unicorn" from then on.

After Tang Dabeard has seen some of the world, after he got down from the room, he walked straight to Liang Wufang and said: "Good boy, you have crossed the teacher." After that, he glanced at the ninth master coldly, didn't eat any food, and left with people.

After Tang Bearded led the people away, Jiu Ye's face couldn't be hung up. The Ninth Master squatted there, silent, and only smoked sullenly.

Wufang was unaware. He won a great victory, and his heart was naturally happy, and he was proud of it, and before he knew it, his tail was cocked. He first walked around among his apprentices, and spoke in a high-pitched voice: Nangezhuang's, Tang's beard, and the ball...... After that, he walked up to the ninth master and said to the ninth master: Master, what I do is okay, right?

Unexpectedly, the ninth master snorted in his nose, pinched the cigarette, and said: Well, you have crossed the master. From now on, I will no longer be your master.

Liang Wufang also said humbly, saying: Master is still master.

The Ninth Master said: No. From now on, not anymore. Set up your own door.

In the countryside of the plains, word of mouth is a person's "business card".

Since the construction of the commune auditorium, no one in a radius of dozens of miles does not know about the "Dragon Qilin", and no one does not know about Liang Wufang. "Dragon Qilin" not only earned Liang Wufang a good reputation, but also earned him a good woman.

This woman's name is Li Yuexian, she lives in the town, and every day when she passes by the construction site of the auditorium, she sees Liang Wufang standing on the shelf board on the head of Fangshan with a brick knife in his hand, with a heroic face. The walls are layer upon layer, and the love in my heart gradually grows...... Until the "Dragon Qilin" was completed, this girl couldn't wait, so she hurriedly asked someone to talk to the matchmaker.

So, before the construction team left the commune, the two met in the bun shop in the town through the matchmaker. It is said that Liang Wufang walked into the hotel with a brick knife in his hand at that time. After Liang Wufang got off the shelf, he was not so tall, that is, he was medium-sized. But he had just defeated Tang Dabeard, so he was naturally arrogant, bright-eyed, and heroic. Moreover, he had just received his salary (at that time it was called "lost work allowance"). He put the polished brick knife on the corner of the table, and then said: Fried buns and spicy soup, all together.

At that time, Hu spicy soup cost a dime a bowl, fried buns cost two cents a plate, and fried oil buns cost five cents a catty, but Liang Wufang was the only one who could say it so confidently and weightily. But this sentence happened to be heard by Li Yuexian, who walked in with the matchmaker. Li Yuexian's family is good, and she is also beautiful, happy, full moon face, and two dimples with a smile, it is said that there are many people who come to propose marriage...... But she just fell in love with Liang Wufang. Although he walked down from the shelf, Liang Wufang's size, appearance, and body are just ordinary people, but with such a sentence, with the arrogance of a man, it is as if he has guaranteed the future days, Li Yuexian likes it with all her heart, she wants such a man.

After the meal, the two were still reluctant, and Li Yuexian kept sending Liang Wufang to the Bakong Bridge. Along the way, Li Yuexian's face was flushed and she said...... The people in the town say, "You've crossed the line." Liang Wufang said: My master, a good person, is timid. If I hadn't been on it, huh! Li Yuexian said: I heard people say, the unicorn, you made it? Liang Wufang said: No. I just want to fight. Nangezhuang's, the old pressure on us without a beam. This time, I said why not! Li Yuexian said: On the unicorn, there are still small flags, hunting, it's really good. Are you too? Liang Wufang said: This matter, put it on my master, I don't dare to think about it, and he doesn't have the courage (this private word later somehow spread to the ears of the ninth master, and the ninth master said: This baby is proud). When they were about to break up, Liang Wufang tentatively said: My brother and sister, my family is not rich. Li Yuexian said: What I like is that you are a good person, as long as you have a place to live. Liang Wufang was stunned for a moment and said: This is easy to say. That's what we're doing. At this point, this family matter is decided.

Afterwards, Liang Wufang proudly said to people: I didn't spend a penny, I picked up a daughter-in-law in the town.

Since "Dragon Qilin" earned Liang Wufang a reputation, Jiu Ye was angry with him and no longer used him as an apprentice. But outsiders don't use Jiu Ye anymore. Whenever people from other villages come to find craftsmen to build houses, people open their mouths and mention "dragon unicorn". When mentioning "Dragon Qilin", he will naturally talk about Liang Wufang, and he will really stand on his own.

At that time, Liang Wufang often went out to do work for others with a brick knife, and he didn't pay much money to the village when he came back. He had three brothers, none of whom were married, but he was the only one who told him about his family. In this way, he no longer handed over the money he earned to his family, and quietly saved his private house. In this way, the brothers had a dislike for each other, made some opinions, saw each other, and "hummed" in their noses.

Originally, the old uncle saw him as a talent and treated him very well. On weekdays, he does some private work, so he turns a blind eye, no matter how much he has. What's annoying is that in the village street, he met Cai Guoyin, the village party secretary (according to his generation, he should also be called "uncle"), but he only snorted and said with a grin: Lao Cai, have you ever eaten a large plate of nepeta?

At that time, Liang Wufang often said: Have you ever eaten a large plate of nepeta? What an arrogant sentence (in the plains, everyone knows that "nepeta" is not nepeta, it refers to "insight")! Just such a sentence made the people of the village look sideways. In people's hearts, Lao Cai is the branch secretary and the first person in the village. He couldn't even look down on the branch secretary, and he thought that his "knowledge" had surpassed that of the "captain officer" of the year. So, who else will he have his eye on? At this point, the people of the village were not happy, and everyone who saw him rolled their eyes.

Liang Wufang is really too proud. At that time, Liang Wufang was like a "red-headed cow", his speech was choking, and he almost offended the whole village. He was very busy, and every day he rode a bicycle (which he bought and assembled himself), flying through the village street day after day, and the light on the tiles flashed and flickered...... It's eye-catching! But he didn't realize it.

Later, one day, Liang Wufang suddenly stopped his old uncle in the village street and said: Lao Cai, the woman is urging, I want to get married. The old uncle said casually: Yes. Wufang said: My three brothers have only one house, no house. The old uncle said: Aren't you the apprentice of the ninth master? The old uncle knew that the ninth master had long since denied him as an apprentice, but when the old uncle said so, he also wanted to kill his arrogance. But Liang Wufang said: Hmph, my dragon unicorn has been covered...... You give me a slice of land, and I build the house myself. The old uncle said: This matter must be discussed. Wufang said: What are you discussing? Just scratch me a slice. The old uncle got angry and said, "Can this be a casual thing?" As he spoke, the old uncle stretched out his hand and said, "I'll draw here for you, would you like it?" Liang Wufang looked at it and said: This is what you said. Okay, that's it.

In this way, the old uncle was stunned. He was referring to a pond next to the village street. The pond used to be soaked with hemp, a layer of midges, and most of the pit water...... The old uncle shook his head and smiled. He thought it was a joke. How can a house be built with a big puddle and half a pit of water? Not to mention that he is alone, even a villager, it is impossible to build a house in a big pond? So, he said, "Okay, if you have the ability, you can build it."

All those who are proud of their creation are capable. No one in the village expected that a miracle would happen.

After two winters and springs, Liang Wufang really built a house in that padded puddle. Moreover, this house was built by him alone. It is already surprising that a person, not a young person, does not ask for help, and builds a house alone. In those years, what was even darker was that he built three new tiled houses from brick to roof!

However, at first, no one in the village cared, as if they were all waiting to see his jokes. As for that pit of water, he can't pick it up for a year, let alone build a house. But Liang Wufang is an extremely smart person, he is still unhurried, he works in the field on time every day, and squats on the edge of the pit in a daze when he is free...... Whenever a villager walked by, they laughed at him: Are you going to build a house? Let's go to the moon.

He snorted and didn't say anything.

However, one day, in the evening, people heard the sound of "boom, boom......, boom", and the whole village ran out to see it. It turned out that Liang Wufang got a water pump with a long pipe out of nowhere! Not only did he get a water pump, but there was no electricity in the village at that time, he also got a small generator, which was full of "foreign things" that people had never seen! This side "boom boom boom ......", that side "suddenly...... so overnight, the water was drained.

At that time, I was still a child, and in my eyes, Liang Wufang was simply a god! I squatted by the puddle and watched all night, how could such a leather pipe suck the water out? The behavior of the five parties brought me infinite reverie. Perhaps, it was from this day that I grew wings in my heart to fly out.

In the countryside of the plains, people are too close to each other, and if you do something in private, you can't hide it. Later, the villagers finally inquired and found out that the pumping machine used by Liang Wufang was borrowed from the county supply and marketing cooperative. The daughter of the director of the county supply and marketing cooperatives got married, and asked Liang Wufang to give her a set of furniture. When the furniture was ready, the director paid him and he didn't want it. The director said, this is not appropriate, right? Take it, hold it. At this time, Liang Wufang said: Director Wang, I won't ask for salary. If you really don't want to go, you can borrow me that pump. Director Wang was stunned at first, saying water pump? Do I have a pump here? Wufang said, yes, I watched it. The new entrant is in the backyard of the supply and marketing cooperative. So Director Wang waved his hand and said: Yes. You can use it.

But the pump was borrowed, and there was no electricity. Liang Wufang is so smart, he just picked up a sentence from Li Yuexian and used it again. Back then, when they were parting on the bridge, Li Yuexian once told him that her uncle was from the county film projection team, and she asked him to go to the movies together. So she asked Li Yuexian to find her uncle and borrowed the generator of the county film projection team......

Alone, without anyone's help, built a house on his own. Can you imagine how proud he was?! At that time, if Liang Wufang opened his mouth, lowered his head, and said something begging, the people in the village would help him. But he just didn't say this, he didn't ask for anyone, so he did it alone...... In the winter, he hauled the soil by himself, and truck after cart mated the large pit that had drained the water. Sometimes, Li Yuexian would also come over and help him pull up his legs or something, but he still wouldn't let him, saying: Go, you go.

And so after winter and spring, when he had partially padded up the big pit, he began to build a house. Even the foundation was rammed by himself, and he rammed it for a whole winter. He first used a small stone foundation several times, and then used a wooden ram to ram it (even the wooden rammer was made by himself). Ram once a day, let the foundation go down, ram again, until it is tamped; The bricks were also pulled by him from the kiln in Dongcun one by one, humming a little song, sweating like rain...... At that time, he could not afford to buy tiled boards on the roof, so he replaced them with "stack sticks". Usually the craftsman breaks the wooden stick he finds into knots, because there is a layer of mud on it. Wufang is particular, the "stack sticks" he uses are selected one by one from the old wood he found or the thick branches he cut, first split into a section, and then these cut "stack sticks" are stacked one by one, poured water to "wake up", and when the air is dry, they are planed again, each "stack stick" is planed flat and flat, four square edges, like a work of art. He did these preparations for a long time, and when everything was ready, he began to lay the foundation of the floor tiles, layer by layer. When building the wall, he was also very particular, and only built three layers every day. What's even more eye-catching is that he actually ran to the county and poured a few catties of glutinous rice out of nowhere. At that time, this was a rarity that money couldn't buy! He found a large pot and boiled it, and poured it all in the sand and ash to build a wall...... When people saw it, they felt pity and said: Wufang, what are you building the Jinluan Palace?! He said: I didn't hear the ninth master say, in the past, the landlord built a house, and it was like this. People listened and hated. When he turned his head and walked a few steps, he turned around and scolded the country.

Finally, when it came to Shangliang, people thought that he always had to ask for someone, right? Otherwise, how can the beam be on? But he still didn't ask for it. He borrowed a pulley, hung one end on the pulley, fixed one place, and went to another place. On that day, many people gathered around to see how to put the beam on this dog day? It was noon, the sun was hot, and I felt that in people's eyes, a lot of black ants suddenly appeared. Ants nest after nest, very viciously lit...... However, Liang Wufang, a person, unexpectedly, he actually hoisted Liang up and straightened it. This man is too ...... He, he put trapezoidal shelves at both ends of Fangshan, left a gap at one end of Fangshan, and then blocked two hoops with thick wire at one end of the beam (he was afraid of slipping), and then hung a hook and slowly hung it up with a guide chain. When he hangs, he is very careful, hanging up chain by chain, and then slowly approaching the gap when the beam is erected, and the end of the gap is leaning on first, and the slope of the gap is calculated by him, just right. Then use the pulley to hang the other end...... Finally, the gap at the end of Fangshan was re-filled with bricks.

There was silence. People say that this man is so poisonous that he doesn't even need his own brother!

This time, Jiu Ye is really angry! The Ninth Master circled the village three times with his hands behind his back! When he met his old uncle, he stomped his foot and said, "Lao Cai, it's ruined." Ruined. You say, how did I teach such an apprentice?!

The old uncle also shook his head and said: He is a capable person.

I tell you, in the plains, if a man is too "varied," he will be opposed by the multitude. For a while, the people in the village secretly called him "the old man with a long neck", which is a local saying, that is, a "goose" with his head held high. That means his head is raised too high, and there is no one in his eyes!

In this world, you will meet many "diverse" people in the future. "Varied" is not necessarily a disadvantage, but "varied" is certainly the most difficult and unsociable of the crowd. Liang Wufang is such a person. No matter who is standing in front of him, just say three sentences, and you will immediately think that you are stupid and have not enough brains. You say, who wants to be a fool in this world?

In this way, he was really a person, and he built a new house. After the new house was built, he asked Li Yuexian to come and see the house, and Li Yuexian held his hand and looked at it with one finger at a time...... She cried.

Liang Wufang got married in the autumn of the following year. When he got married, he spent all the money he earned for private work because of the construction of a house and the purchase of furniture. Therefore, when he got married, he only bought two bottles of wine, two boxes of cigarettes, and hung firecrackers, but he still did not invite anyone in the village...... This is probably the most stingy and simple wedding in the world. Li Yuexian was picked up by him on a bicycle. I lit the firecrackers, and when the two of them rode their bicycles to the door of the new house, I said with a blank eye: Uncle Fang, shall I set off the firecrackers?

Liang Wufang looked at me and finally said, "Okay, lose it, let it go."

That night, I was the only one listening...... I quietly wet the window paper with saliva for a small hole, only to see an oil lamp, the two of them sitting face to face on the edge of the bed, Wufang took Li Yuexian's hand and said: Yuexian, do you believe me?

Li Yuexian said: I believe it.

Liang Wufang said: As long as you believe it, I don't care what others say.

Li Yuexian said distressedly: You have lost weight.

Liang Wufang said: It's okay, I'm full of strength.

Then, he said heroically: You can give me a child, one child in one house!

Li Yuexian smiled and said: Dragon, or Qilin?

Liang Wufang's unlucky day is coming soon.

Here I will tell you one word: "sports". You live in such a prosperous and open period, and you certainly don't know what "movement" is. The word "sport" is preceded by a predicate for a certain period of time...... It has a special meaning. Let's put it this way, in a sense, it can almost be said to be a grand festival of "the people". It's like a masquerade ball in the West, a kind of carnival in the spiritual sense, or a rare indulgence in ordinary days, an explosive madness.

Everyone wants to go crazy sometimes, doesn't it?

Liang Wufang should be said to have hit the muzzle of the gun. In other words, the foreshadowing has already been laid, just waiting for a gunshot to go off.

For the people of Wuliang Village, the "movement" is just an excuse, or an opportunity. In the winter of that year, when the ground was clean, the old uncle rode the jingling bicycle to the commune for a meeting...... When he came back on his bike, there were four more people behind him, and it was a task force.

Only four people came to the task force, one surnamed Song, one surnamed Tang, one surnamed Ma, and one surnamed Xu. I just remembered a person with the surname Xu. The skinny shaved face surnamed Xu, with a long scarf around him and a peaked cap, said that he came down directly from the province. Lao Xu wears a very decent black tweed uniform, but there is a button on his clothes that is red (women's), and at a glance you know that it was later patched. They treated me like this, and they went to each house to eat pie meals.

After the team entered the village, they first held a meeting to check the accounts, and then mobilized people to expose the ...... A month and a half later, on a snowy day, Liang Wufang was pulled out.

Back then, as far as I know, at first, my old uncle wanted to protect him. The day before the meeting in the village, the old uncle first called his eldest brother Wudou and said vaguely: Send a message to Wufang, tomorrow will have a meeting. Wudou is the accountant of the village and a smart man, but the brothers have not spoken to each other for two years...... That day, at dusk, the old uncle met Liang Wufang in the village street, and the old uncle carried a bundle of wet reeds on his back, looked at Wufang, looked around, and stopped talking...... Suddenly, the old uncle coughed and shouted at me: "Lose your child, get out, get out of here."

At that time, I was standing on a stone stone in the village street, stunned...... It wasn't until a long, long time later that I remembered, could it be a hint from my old uncle?

No matter how smart a person is, once he is proud, there will be times when he can't solve it...... That night, if Liang Wufang untied the old uncle, what would have been the outcome? But Liang Wufang didn't care about his old uncle's "road words" at all, and he rode the bicycle "day" and passed it in one fell swoop. He didn't know it until he was about to be found out. More than 80 percent of the people in the village have opinions about him, and he doesn't know about it.

That night, when the bell rang, the whole village gathered in the cattle yard. This is the moon dark day, at the beginning, there are still two gas lamps on the venue, when the team leader Lao Song spoke, first sang the "song of bitterness": the sky is full of stars, the crescent moon is shining, the production team held a meeting, complained and avenged the grievances...... Then, the security director suddenly shouted: Liang Wufang, stand up!

For a while, people focused all their eyes on Wufang, and saw Liang Wufang walking out of the crowd with his eyes high...... But immediately afterwards, someone announced Liang Wufang's 24 "crimes": such as speculation, buying parts to assemble bicycles without permission; For example, taking personal work and not paying money to the team; For example, taking advantage of the state, privately using the water pump of the county supply and marketing cooperative, and the generator of the film team; For example, undermining the national food policy and pulling relationships to buy glutinous rice; For example, deliberately destroying production, deliberately hoeing corn seedlings when hoeing; For example, being naughty, disobeying leaders, and not working hard; For example, dreaming of going back to the past and living the life of the landlord and the old fortune of the landlord...... When the people finished announcing, they only heard Liang Wufang say loudly: I don't accept it! Defy!

However, before he could finish speaking, the crowd poured in. People rushed up in the dark, surrounded Liang Wufang, and many voices screamed, drowning Liang Wufang at once! At this time, at this time, I don't know who put out the gas lamp, and the livestock yard was dark...... I only heard someone shouting: He is still not convinced? Hoop him! Hoop him!

You've never seen anything like this, have you? It was like a black wind blowing suddenly, "woo" hundreds of people rushed up together, just like sifting grain, treating Liang Wufang as a "stone" mixed in the wheat grains, in the crowd you push over, I pushed over...... In the countryside of the plains, this is called "passing the basket". When "passing the basket", the person being basketed is like a flea jumping on the dustpan, and like a drop of water rolling around on the duckweed, which falls to the east and west at the same time, and the person completely loses his self-control, only keeps rising and falling, falling and rising...... Immediately after, spit like raindrops in his face, and slap him in the face like a hurricane, but he couldn't see anything clearly...... You can imagine how much resentment and depression people have gathered in their hearts in ordinary days! Especially women, how long does it take for a woman to endure before she has such a chance to go crazy?!

At that time, I was small, and I had not yet grown, so I was able to drill through the cracks of the crowd...... I saw the woman of the Hailin family holding the half-twine soles in her hands, rushing up again and again to slap Wufang's face. There are too many people, there are too many hands, several times she has not enough, she is very unwilling, her face is hideous, the flames in her eyebrows and eyes are jumping, once the soles of her shoes finally scraped Wufang's face, she screamed all of a sudden...... How happy she is to be able to fan Liang Wufang's face!

I saw the deaf daughter-in-law's hand flashing brightly, I didn't see it clearly at first, but then I found out that she was carrying an awl for shoes in her sleeve! She surged through the crowd, ebbing and dwelling like a tide, and the tip of the awl in her hand lit up every time she rushed to the front. I must admit that she was kind, and she pinched the tip of the awl with two fingers, jerked it forward, and immediately withdrew it into her sleeve. Her hair was all wet, her brow was hanging, her nose was panting, and her face was shiny with beads of sweat!

I saw Mai Qin's wife with one hand on top and one hand on the bottom, the hand on top was just coping with pushing, and the hand on the bottom was secretly pinching and twisting. She secretly reached out to pinch again and again, grabbing the flesh and pinching it in circles...... Oh my God, how much hatred does she have? I saw her teeth clenched, her eyes lit up, and she gathered her long, long-held breath on three fingers, and pinched it hard when she caught it! Actually, that's just because of a sentence. (Remember: Words are the most hurtful, and a word that hurts can bring you disaster.) The hurt you see is not called a hurt, it can be healed after all. The invisible damage is the greatest harm. Mai Qin's women have shortcomings. When she was a girl, she had a hole in her mouth, and later went to the hospital to make up for it, but ordinary people couldn't see it, but she didn't speak very well. Once, when everyone was talking about "Dragon Qilin", she also said: Wind (Fang), after all, say that you are a monkey (originally meant to praise him for being smart)...... Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, Liang Wufang scolded her in public: Go, what do you know with an open mouth?

I also saw that almost the whole village had taken action...... In the dark night, in a series of slogans, I saw spitting stars flying all over the sky; I saw a crowd of people in the livestock yard that smelled of sweet potato farts; I also smelled the smell of stinky feet in the wind (many people took off their shoes, took off their shoes and slapped them with the soles of their shoes)...... I saw people's arms rise and fall, and they really became the mechanical hands of the basket; I saw fear and joy in the corners of people's eyes, and their eyes glowed with a brilliant dark green; I also saw that at the moment when Liang Wufang fell to the ground, his second brother Wusheng secretly took out a donkey dung egg from his sleeve and stuffed him with a mouthful of donkey dung!

I have to be honest with you, at a time like this, on an occasion like this, I would love to go up and slap him in the face. I don't have any hatred with Liang Wufang, and I don't have any holidays. In my eyes, he can even be said to be my idol. When the idol falls to the ground...... I'm just, just excited. My hands can't help but itch, get hot, and have a feeling that I want to bloom in my nails! It's true. So, let me tell you, in a certain time and atmosphere, evil and poisonous intentions can be contagious.

Later, I heard my old uncle say loudly: What is this for? Don't hit, don't hit...... I don't know, at this moment, there is also a hint of happiness in the voice he stopped?

Lao Xu, who came from the province, said: Comrades, we must talk about policies and policies...... There was helplessness in this voice, as well as perfunctory and surprise, and even a trace of indescribable excitement.

At this time, I saw Liang Wufang, who had fallen to the ground, spitting out donkey dung in his mouth, crying...... However, once he was picked up, he jumped up again, shook his head, stiffened his neck, and shouted loudly with tears in his eyes: I don't accept it, I don't accept it, I want to sue!

So, people rushed up again...... At this time, Li Yuexian, who had just returned from her mother's house, found the livestock yard. She was stunned for a moment, and then rushed forward with a cry, hugged Liang Wufang at once, and let others beat her!

Li Yuexian hugged Liang Wufang tightly and cried loudly: Oh my God, why is this happening? Who did I hurt? I threw my child into the well...... The mournful cry swirled in the night sky.

For a moment, people were all stunned.

At this moment, it was still the team leader Lao Song who said something, he said: Let's go here.

Liang Wufang was carried home by his daughter-in-law. At night, Li Yuexian took off his clothes and wiped his body, and saw that his body was full of wounds and blood, one here, one there, black and purple, some touched, some pinched, and pierced with an awl...... Li Yuexian cried loudly, she cried very sadly.

That night, the village was quiet. Rare quiet. About one of them was out of breath and slept peacefully. The dog didn't bite anymore, only the incessant barking of the crickets......

Seven days later, the commune's approval came down, and the composition of Liang Wufang's family was changed from the middle peasants to the "new rich peasants" (this of course also included the two brothers Wudou and Wusheng). According to the reply, Liang Wufang's three newly built tiled houses, as well as his bicycle and sewing machine, were confiscated and confiscated...... He was ordered to move out of his new house within three days.

When Lao Song, the leader of the work team, announced the decision in public in the courtyard, Liang Wufang was surprisingly calm, and he didn't say a word. It's just that his second brother Wusheng grinned and cried, he said: What am I wronged...... Crying and shouting, he was about to go up and beat Wufang again, but was dragged by the old uncle.

During these three days, the Wuliang people showed a rare silence, and they even appeared extraordinarily tolerant and humble. When the villagers met Liang Wufang on the village road, although they didn't say anything, they could see from their eyes that they were slightly uneasy, and some even took the initiative to make way for Liang Wufang...... But Liang Wufang turned a blind eye to all this, he clenched his fists with both hands, didn't say a word, and ignored no one, like a train full of gunpowder, rumbling past.

On the morning of the third day, when Li Yuexian came back from the field from early work, Liang Wufang had already tied up her little burden back to her parents' house. He said to Li Yuexian: Let's go, you go back to your mother's house.

Li Yuexian said: I won't leave. Didn't you say you were going to sue, and I'll be with you.

Unexpectedly, Liang Wufang suddenly jumped like thunder, and he jumped up like a leopard and shouted: Get out, go back to your mother's house!

Li Yuexian said with tears in her eyes: I won't leave. Pull the stick and ask for food, and I'll be with you......

Liang Wufang glared and said: Are you leaving?

Li Yuexian said: Don't go. Next, what was she about to say...... Liang Wufang rushed in front of her at once, raised his hand and slapped her a few times...... Then, he yelled at her: Get out, get out of here! I think you're a broom star, and I see you with black eyes!

Li Yuexian has probably never been beaten. Li Yuexian was stunned by him...... At this point, Li Yuexian didn't say anything, silently carried the little baggage, and left crying.

At that moment, to be honest, I was leaning on the wall watching the excitement. I saw Liang Wufang squatting on the ground in the house for a while, and suddenly ran out and said to me: Lost, can you do me a favor? I looked at him, Liang Wufang, who never asked for help, could say this, and I suddenly felt a head taller than him. You know, how happy I was at that time. So, I nodded.

He said, "Go and send your aunt and send her home."

I nodded again.

At noon, when the team led the village cadres to confiscate the property, they saw that the door was open, everything in the house was placed as it was, and Liang Wufang was gone.

Do you know what "ingredients" are? Or by extension, "all colors"?

This is a local saying in the plain countryside. It is an expression of the material of trees by craftsmen, especially those trees that have unusual growth, but have obvious characteristics and are not easy to process (bite saw). It is also extended to a kind of personal contempt for people.

You can't imagine how long a "varied" person has to go.

Since Liang Wufang's disappearance, the villagers have to talk about it whenever they squat in the dining room to eat. Some shook their heads and said: This product is too "material", you see that he is proud of it. Lack of cleanup! Some said, "Yes, what do you think he has become arrogant?" It is a matter of time before he is flattened...... Some said: What does the other team do? Reign over this number! Others said: Strong, strong. Hmph, are you a pot? There's an iron pot steak here! You're a red-headed cow, and there's a steel nose here! Are you not convinced? Don't accept it?! Some said: ** mile, he is very capable? Why are you peeing high? Lack of ...... People talked about it for a while, and that's it.

Liang Wufang has been missing for a long time. There was once a rumor in the village that he had gone to Xinjiang. Some say that he picks cotton in Altai, Xinjiang; Others said that he went to Lanzhou and made a lot of money by making furniture for people in Lanzhou City...... Later, Liang Wufang finally had news.

When Liang Wufang reappeared in front of people, it still surprised people: he was escorted back. He was followed by two policemen and members of the security joint defense team in eight counties.

That day, when he appeared on the small bridge in the east of the village, it was like a few people picking a flea, or like a group of people catching a monkey with fried hair, only to see him jumping up and down, thundering, hoarse, shouting slogans as he walked...... A few people can't hold him down! As he got closer, he could be heard shouting in a hoarse voice...... Kill me! I won't accept it even if I kill it!

That summer, I often saw Liang Wufang being tied up with flowers, walking over the small bridge again and again. He was sent back. He petitioned again. He wasn't convinced.

At first, he just went to the county to petition and appeal. Standing at the door of the county government, holding a stack of paper written by him in his hand, he blocked the road and shouted grievances, demanding a review...... Later, he went to the city again, still standing at the door of the city government, holding the word "wrong" in his hand, and was often blown away...... just sued again and again, but to no avail. Seeing that the county and city couldn't win, he picked up the train and went directly to the province. After that, I went to Beijing.

At that time, Liang Wufang was sent back every time he petitioned. But he still refused to accept it, grabbed the green tendons on his neck, jumped and shouted, and said: I am not convinced. I don't accept death. Later, the rope became tighter and tighter, and he was tied up again and again to be escorted back, and he became more honest. Whenever he had people escorted over the small bridge, even the villagers were used to it. The villager stretched out his hand and said, "Look, Wufang has returned." Call Lao Cai.

The police officer who was responsible for sending him off escorted him to the brigade headquarters every time, and then said: Squat. Wufang rolled his eyes, and had no choice but to squat down honestly and wait for the old uncle to sign for it. After a lot of times, the policeman who was in charge of escorting him said to his old uncle: Cai Zhishu, you have to strictly control this person, don't let him run around! Beijing is the capital, can it be a place where this person can go when he says he goes...... As he spoke, he turned his head again, glared at Wufang, and said: Be honest!

The old uncle said, "Yes." Is that. Rest assured, we will discipline you strictly. After that, he also turned his head and said to Wufang: You can't run anymore.

When the handover was completed and the police left, the old uncle also persuaded him with kind words. The old uncle said: Wufang, you can't do this. Don't you see when you can solve the problem by running? It's policy. Do you understand the policy......

When the old uncle spoke, Wufang honestly squatted there and didn't say a word. When the old uncle finished speaking, he said pitifully: Lao Cai (from the village, Liang Wufang calls him Lao Cai), can you give saliva? Sweet potatoes will do the same.

The old uncle looked at him and said, "Hungry?"

Wufang said: Hungry.

The old uncle said: I haven't eaten for a few days?

Wufang said: Three days.

The old uncle sighed, stepped forward to untie him, and said, "You wait."

However, with dazzling work, Liang Wufang disappeared again.

Year after year, Liang Wufang's arrogance wore out little by little on the way to petition. No one has ever seen Liang Wufang's days of eating and drinking, and no one knows how Liang Wufang picked up the train to Beijing station by station. People saw him being escorted back again and again...... Sometimes, he wears a floral shirt; Sometimes, he was bare-backed, his hair was frighteningly long, and there were blood marks on his body; Sometimes, he was barefoot, and in the winter he wore a pair of single pants, shivering from the cold, and he was as thin as a dog. But soon after the escort returned, he ran away again.

He was once seen standing on a steep slope in Chengguan, holding a rope in his hand, pulling the coal cart uphill, pulling a slope and giving a dime; He was also seen standing in a procession through the streets, escorted by the police, with a saw and a sign reading "Opportunistic Criminal" around his neck; The daughter-in-law of the ninth master returned to the village from the city to visit relatives, and also told people that she had met Liang Wufang. She went to the police station to register her child, and saw Liang Wufang handcuffed to a pillar at the Tiexi Street Police Station, with a pair of rotten shoes and frostbite on both feet...... It was said that the people of the village were in tears.

Some people also said that Liang Wufang was sent to "re-education through labor......

One year, on a snowy day, he was so arrogant that he actually ran to the school where I was in high school, stretched out his hand, and said, "Lose your son, lend me five cents." He knew that I was an orphan and that he didn't have much money in his hands, and that he wouldn't reach out to me until he had to. At that time, I was stunned for a moment and said, "What can you do with five cents?" He said, "I'll buy two pieces of paper." Will pay you back. I said, "What about appealing?" He just hummed softly.

At that time, he wore a broken straw hat and carried a blanket roll on his back, and his outstretched hand was clearly a beggar. I looked into his eyes, and there was no longer the same violence and excitement in his eyes, only the sparkling flames lit up, and I even noticed a trace of wandering in his eyes. The wandering was hidden behind the flames of pain, covered by a layer of frost and dirt, and his mouth was babbling and his face was dazed. But he still has to appeal. He's a guy who runs all the way to the dark. He has been appealing for so many years, and he must continue to appeal. Otherwise, how would he live?

Another year, when the National Day was approaching, in the brigade headquarters, I heard Lao Cao, the secretary of the commune, scolding on the phone: Lao Cai, is it Lao Cai? Cai Guoyin, you bastard, do you want to do it anymore? The old uncle said: What's the matter, the big secretary? You can't curse. I...... Lao Cao said on the phone: It's almost National Day, don't you know about dog day? Your Liang Wufang is out again in vain! Get it back for me! The old uncle said, "Where are the people?" Lao Cao said: County shelter. Send someone to tie me up. I'm telling you, keep an eye on it, but don't let him go to Beijing.

On September 28 of that year, the old uncle personally picked him up from the repatriation station with two militiamen. When he returned, he was locked up in the brigade headquarters and guarded by the militia in three shifts...... Liang Wufang came back this time, and his accent changed a lot. When the militia teased him, he said, "Five, where did you go again?" He actually said in Mandarin: Beijing.

Then, without waiting for people to ask him, he said, "What have you seen these hairy children?" Let me tell you, do you know where Zhongnanhaimen is facing? Have you ever been to the Temple of Heaven? Have you ever been to the Forbidden City? Swam through Shichahai? Know how many pillars there are in the Great Hall of the People? How tall is Tiananmen Square? Have you ever eaten popsicles or drunk yogurt from Beijing?

A group of militiamen surrounded him and said: Tell me. Let's talk about it.

The five parties said: Is there any smoke? Give me a cigarette.

So, the militiamen hurriedly gave him a cigarette. He looked at it and said, "Eight?" Do not suck.

At this time, the old uncle came over and shouted: Wufang, the county has been registered, and you are not honest?

Wufang said: Honest, I'm honest. When the branch secretary, give the branch "color butterfly".

In time, a name is the state of a person's life.

When a person's state of life changes, so does what is addressed to him.

When Liang Wufang was building the "Dragon Qilin", he once had a good reputation. But then people called him differently. He seems to have some reputation in the whole township and the whole county, and it is a bad reputation. When people talk about him, they no longer mention his name, but only say that the "wandering criminal" or the "wandering criminal" of Yinghe has entered Beijing again.

In the first-level government compound, people shake their heads at the mention of him...... At that time, the name Liang Wufang only appeared in the official documents of the first-level government. At this time, Liang Wufang became an "appellant". Just one "appellant" Liang Wufang has added so much trouble to the post office!

According to my uncle, year after year, his appeal materials were sent to Beijing from different post offices and on different papers, and then they were signed and stamped by the first-level government and then forwarded back. Some commentate: investigation and processing. Some of the criticisms are: strict control. Some write two words: Investigate. Some write a "" and then draw a circle. Some are only stamped with an official seal without any explanation. The stamps were then affixed and sent back again...... The materials traveled thousands of miles, past desks, by the hands of postmen, and finally signed for by the Commune, and were stacked against the wall in the office of the secretary of the commune. When my uncle went to the commune for a meeting, the commune secretary Xu pointed to the wall behind him and said: Lao Cai, look at it, one wall is all the material of that "wandering criminal". The old uncle had seen a few pages in the toilet, maybe Secretary Xu couldn't find the paper for a while, so he tore two pages in a hurry and wiped his buttocks.

Even in Wuliang Village, no one mentions Liang Wufang's name anymore, and people almost forget him. Year after year, when he is occasionally mentioned, the tone is repeatedly omitted. Originally, they also called him Wufang, or called him in a closer tone: Fang. Nowadays, when people mention him, they only take the middle word: five. People will say in a faint, slightly derogatory, and somewhat funny childish voice: Wu'er, running out again.

You know, the rope of the human bundle is not just a rope? At that time, in people's minds, this was the sign of "being a traitor", or "other" in life, and a "bad element" that people despised. When a person is brought back again and again with a rope, the way people look at him changes.

Later, as soon as he crossed the bridge, people said: Wu'er is back.

In 1975, when Liang Wufang's mother died, he was still on his way to petition...... The family waited for him for three days, but they couldn't wait to be buried. Earlier, Wufang and his mother also persuaded him bitterly, saying: Son, admit it. The arm can't twist the thigh, let's admit it. But he wouldn't listen. Now, his mother is dead, and he hasn't been able to see each other.

However, one day, the villagers found a bag of fried meat wrapped in lotus leaves and the cigarette butts of three cigarettes that had been burned in front of his mother's grave, and then people knew that he had returned. Furtively.

Later, as the situation continued to change, when the people sent him back again, they were no longer tied up, but a few people escorted him and sent him back to the village. But he still looked comical as if he were tied: he walked with his arms close to his body, his head leaning forward, his movements stiff, his body stiff, his neck stiff, and he staggered forward as if he had no hands at all...... On the small bridge, the villagers smiled when they saw him.

He laughed too. The mouth grinned, and the smile was a little poor.

People said, "Wu'er, you're back."

He winked his eyes and said, "I'm back."

People said, "Are you still going?"

He looked back and said nonchalantly, "Go." Go.

People say: Wu'er, have you eaten Peking duck?

He said, "Eat with your eyes." Eye eating.

At that time, the old uncle and him often squatted in the brigade department to talk heart-to-heart. The old uncle handed over the cigarette, handed over the water, and said bitterly: Five, you are the master, you are the ancestor, let's not go again, right? You say, can Beijing be the place we go? Go on a trip and let people tie it up, you look good on your face? Besides, in this world, who is not a little wronged?

Liang Wufang said: Lao Cai, you also know, after so many years, what am I for? Why do you have to give a "policy"? If he gives me a "policy", I won't go.

The old uncle said: Now that you don't talk about the ingredients, what other "policy" do you need?

He said, "I haven't been rehabilitated yet." According to you, I have run away in vain all these years?

The old uncle said, "Isn't that just a piece of paper?"

He said: That's not a piece of paper, that's a "policy." You've got to enforce the policy for me.

In the end, the old uncle even begged him and said: Wu'er, I can't do it for a few days, I will obey you. If you say how to implement, let's implement, don't go out again.

He smiled slyly and said, "You don't count."

The old uncle said: How did you become a "hob meat"?

He said: I am "hob meat".

This year, it's almost time for the National Day again, and as soon as the National Day is approaching, for such a "wandering criminal", the officials of a county are terrified! The secretary of the county party committee personally called the town and demanded that "strict precautions" be taken and that this "wandering criminal" must not be allowed to go to Beijing again. At that time, the commune had been changed to a town, and Secretary Cao of the town called and scolded the old uncle again, saying that you should keep an eye on me, and even follow when I fart...... After that, Secretary Cao was still not at ease, so he personally sent someone to "invite" the cadres of Wuliang Village and Liang Wufang to the town, and set up a table of wine and food in the canteen of the town government to work on the spot. When Liang Wufang was full of wine and food, Secretary Cao said: Wu'er, can't you run away?

Liang Wufang said: Don't run, don't run. If you have smoke, smoke one.

Lao Cao frightened him and said: Wu'er, you can't go to Beijing anymore. If you go again, I'll kill you!

He said, "Don't run." You can rest assured, do not run.

At this time, Lao Cao lit a cigarette for him, softened his tone, and said: Wu'er, your matter should be resolved, and in the end, we should solve it here, don't you say?

He said, "Yes." I listen to you.

Lao Cao said: Hasn't your rich peasant problem been solved? Now that the ingredients are canceled, don't talk about the ingredients, what are you still making trouble?

He said, "I haven't been rehabilitated yet."

Lao Cao said: The ingredients have been canceled, and I didn't wear a hat for you, why should I be rehabilitated? Okay, rehabilitated, I'll rehabilitate you now. That's okay, right?

He said, "What about my three tiled houses?" Where's my bike......

Lao Cao said: House, house thing? This, this...... Okay, for you to solve. Lao Cai, where is his house? Return it to him.

The old uncle was very embarrassed and said, "Now the land is divided." How many years has that house been leaking, and it is about to collapse......

Lao Cao waved his hand and said: Return to him, and return when you go back. As for the rain leakage, repair it. The town will give you some subsidies, this will always do, right? I repeat, you can't go to Beijing again!

He said, "No, no more."

That night, however, he ran away again.

On the day of the National Day, the State Bureau of Letters and Calls made a phone call to the province, and the province to the county, and the county to the town...... At the first level, they were all extremely angry: that "wandering criminal" went to Beijing to petition again! The problem that should be solved, why not solve it?! Lao Cao was angry, standing in the courtyard of the town government and scolding his old uncle: Cai Guoyin, you bastard, I will remove you!

It is said that for this "wandering criminal", Lao Cao, who was about to retire, was dismissed in public. The county made up its mind and sent cadres to the gate of the State Bureau of Letters and Calls in Beijing to block him, and at the same time sent people to look for him...... However, Beijing was too big, and he was busy until the Chinese New Year's Eve, when people found him on the Great Wall. At that time, he was sitting at a battlement in Badaling and watching the scenery.

When the sun was setting and the wind was blowing, a young deputy mayor cried when he saw him, and said, "You, you are really ...... Scourge to men!

He said: I look at the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, what's wrong? Can't come?

The deputy mayor said: Master, you are really a master, let's go back.

He said, "Wait, I haven't eaten yet."

The deputy mayor said, "Let's go, eat first." Eat first.

He said, "Is there wine?" Two pots are fine, and the two are small.

The deputy mayor said: Don't worry, get it, get it for you. As he spoke, the two of them held his arm and carried him down step by step, for fear that he would run again.

This year, he was fifty years old.

Liang Wufang's problem was "completely resolved" when he was 55 years old.

At this time, he had been on this road of petitioning for thirty-three years, and he had become a hunched little old man. With a face full of vicissitudes, he carried a blanket roll on his back, bowed his head and bowed when he saw people, and then squatted on the ground in a regular manner...... Whoever sees him will feel pity. It is said that a new female secretary in the county saw him crying and said: Old man, don't worry, I will solve it for you. Completely solved.

The female secretary in charge of letters and visits is surnamed Lin and named Lin Lan. Soon after she was transferred, she read a large number of appeal materials, including Liang Wufang's ...... The female secretary with her hair cut is a vigorous and resolute person, and her words count. In the autumn of this year, she personally took people to Wuliang Village to work on site to solve Liang Wufang's problem.

The female secretary led the county, township, and village cadres to stand in the courtyard of Wuliang Village, and let people announce the decision to rehabilitate him in public (in fact, he has no "anti" to peace), and overturned all untruths...... Later, he brought people to the tile house that Liang Wufang had confiscated.

Nowadays, people in the countryside have also built new houses. The surrounding buildings are all two- and three-story buildings with porcelain tiles, and only his dilapidated tiled house is sandwiched between a number of buildings, which looks so dilapidated, cramped, and desolate. This three-room small tiled house, which used to be a warehouse for the production team in the early years, is now half collapsed, eroded by wind and rain, and the yard is barren and dilapidated...... It's sad to watch. The female secretary stood in the courtyard, looked at the cobwebs on the beam, and said for a long time: Secretary Wang, this house is no longer inhabitable. You say, what should I do? If you can't solve it, I'll fix it.

Secretary Wang of the town hurriedly said: Don't worry, the town will solve it, and solve it immediately.

The female secretary said: Okay, I'll give you ten days, is that enough?

The town's secretary Wang said: Enough. Within ten days, if you can't complete the task, you will remove me.

The female secretary said: That's good. Then he turned his head and said to Liang Wufang: Old man, the house will be built for you again, and it will be built as it is. Are you satisfied?

Liang Wufang muttered in his mouth and said, "What, there are bicycles, sewing machines, or something......

Without waiting for the female secretary to reply, Secretary Wang of the town immediately said: Solve it together, and solve it together in the township.

At this time, the female secretary took out another 300 yuan from her pocket, handed it to Liang Wufang, and said: Old man, after so many years, you have been wronged. This is a little bit of my personal meaning, take it.

As a result, the cadres at the county and township levels also took out money one after another, thirty fifty, one hundred and two hundred, a total of 1,500, all of which were given to Liang Wufang......

When the female secretary left, she repeatedly explained to the village that she should take care of the lives of the elderly, and the village cadres also agreed to come down. After that, the female secretary asked: Old man, are you satisfied with this treatment?

Liang Wufang was blindfolded and said: Satisfied. Satisfied.

However, when the female secretary left the village, the director of the county letter and visit bureau quietly walked to the secretary's car and whispered: Secretary Lin, this person is a hob meat, you can explain to the town again, I am afraid that it will ......

The female secretary said: Hob meat? No way? Trust the masses.

The director of the county petition bureau chattered and said nothing more.

I heard from my old uncle that this time, Liang Wufang did live in the village for a few days. After the house was built as it was, the people in the village took turns to see him, and some said: Five, I heard that you made up a lot of money this time? It's worth it! Some said: There is a demobilized soldier in Mazhuang who was escorted back from the city, and one guy made up hundreds of thousands, and his household registration was transferred to the city...... Some said: I heard that there is a master in Beixiang, and it sounded, and a guy made up a room of money. Wake up every day and count the money! Some said: Five, tell me, how much money do you make up? 10,000 a year, I'm afraid it will be hundreds of thousands, right?! Some even came up with an idea and said: Five, if you really don't give it, you have to blackmail her. I went to her every day. Squatting in front of her house......

And they all said, Yes, yes, yes, they slandered this woman. This woman is kind and easy to speak.

The villagers came and went in a steady stream. Mostly asking for money. His eldest brother Wudou had asked one of his nephews to bring him two meals, sat in the house for a while, coughed for a while, sighed, and left; His second brother Wusheng also asked his daughter-in-law to send two meals, and then asked him tentatively how much money he had made up? said that he has also followed him to carry the harm of "ingredients" over the years, can you borrow him for use first after making up the money (Wusheng has already forgotten about stuffing him with a mouthful of donkey dung)...... Liang Wufang was silent.

The old uncle also said to him: Wu'er, don't you have skills?

He said: Craft?

The old uncle said: Back then, you covered the "Dragon Qilin", how famous were you...... How many houses have been built in these years? Pick it up. In these years, there is a craft, which is better than anything else.

He was seen sweeping the yard, and then he took a saw from the old thing, and tried to saw it on an old plank, but the saw, and his hands trembled, and the saw was crooked...... With that, he threw the saw away and walked away.

Soon after, Beijing called again, saying what happened? That out-of-the-road criminal has come to Beijing to petition again......

It is said that after listening to the report, the female secretary of the county was so angry that she slapped the table: Why is this person like this? It's so unbelievable! said it well in person, and everything that should be solved was solved for him, what else do you want? He still wants to lose face...... After a long time, she asked: Is this person really hob meat?

The director of the county letter and visit bureau said: hob meat.

The female secretary said: There can't be anything wrong with him mentally, right?

The director of the county letter and visit bureau hesitated and said...... Not like. I've been dealing with him for years, and he's a thorn in the flesh. Or, send to a psychiatric hospital?

The female secretary shook her head, took a deep breath, and said: Leave him alone, let him sue him.

However, the National Day is soon approaching again. Approaching the National Day, Beijing carried out a large-scale investigation of public security, and Liang Wufang was once again sent back. In the courtyard of the county bureau of letters and visits, when the director of the bureau saw him, he was angry and said: Wu'er, you are really shameless! Tell me, you are a farmer, the secretary works on the spot, and personally comes forward to solve the problem for you...... What else do you want? Are you human? Is there still a bit of humanity? You promised with red mouth and white teeth, why did you go to Beijing again? Believe it or not, I'll send you to the detention center immediately and tie you up!

Liang Wufang squatted on the ground, as if he was deaf, let you say anything, let you scold, and don't say a word.

The director of the Letters and Visits Bureau was furious, pointed at him and said, "You say, what else do you want?" Bicycles, sewing machines...... Why didn't you give it? You're telling me a story?!

Liang Wufang squatted there, and when the director of the Letters and Visits Bureau lost his temper, he sat down on the bed, blindfolded, and said in a whisper...... What, what about my daughter-in-law?

The director of the Letters and Visits Bureau was stunned for a moment and asked: What are you talking about? What did he say?

The deputy mayor who took him back said: He said that his daughter-in-law ran away...... Gotta get him back.

The director of the Letters and Visits Bureau said: He, he, where is his daughter-in-law?

The deputy mayor said: I called and asked, how many years have I been married to someone, there are a bunch of children, and someone calls grandma......

The director of the Letters and Visits Bureau jumped up and scolded: Ahh

Liang Wufang said unhurriedly: Director, look at you, I'm not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry. Don't worry, don't be angry with me, it's not worth it.

The young deputy mayor was huffing and muttering: Just him, along the way, like the master, still wants to drink.

Liang Wufang said: Oh, a big mayor will have two taels of wine and two taels of small ones. Is it worth saying? Since then, Liang Wufang has become a wanderer.

He was away all the year round, wandering everywhere. Occasionally, I have been asked to borrow money a few times, but not much.

He's still suering. In the perennial petitioning team, he has become an old petitioner. At the provincial, prefectural, and county levels, the petition departments have all become a "familiar face." As soon as the people in the government saw him, they said, "Five, here again?" He said, "I don't have a home, the government is my home." If you give me a home (he means "woman"), I won't come. Never again. Again, I'm a grandson, and you spit on me.

I heard the old uncle say that after the house was returned to him, he had secretly gone to see Li Yuexian. Li Yuexian later married into a family surnamed Sun in Sun Liu Zhao Village, and now she has a full house of children and grandchildren. He wore a broken straw hat, pretended to be a blind man, and carried a bamboo pole, and went directly to Li Yuexian's in-law's house. He stood in front of the courtyard gate, lowered his head, and said, "This eldest sister, can you take two mouthfuls?" Li Yuexian's hair was white, her eyes were dazzled, and the two faced each other, but they didn't recognize him. But when he saw that he was pitiful, he said, "Wait, I'll get you a piece of bread." However, when Li Yuexian turned around, he suddenly said: "Sister, the gatehouse is not low." I'll show you a picture, and then go (referring to remarriage), right? Li Yuexian was stunned and said: How do you know? Wait. You wait. Give me the math. However, when she asked her son to come out of the house with two buns and a bowl of water, the person who asked for food was gone. Li Yuexian's son turned around and said: Mom, what about people? Li Yuexian hurriedly chased out of the house, stood at the door in a daze for a while, and said: "I was still there just now, this person ...... Suddenly, as if she had some sense, she hurried to the village street and shouted: Alas, this master, you wait...... In the distance, I saw the straw hat flash at the corner of the street, and then disappeared again.

I heard that Li Yuexian also asked someone to inquire about him later. The two were originally going to meet, but they were originally invited by Li Yuexian's brother to the bun shop in the town. But for more than 30 years, the bun shop in the town has long been demolished, and even the "Dragon Qilin" with infinite scenery has been stripped off and washed into an asphalt road...... Li Yuexian cried when she thought about it. Later, somehow it was heard by the people of the Sun family, and the old and young members of the Sun family knelt down for Li Yuexian together, calling their mothers and grandmothers...... And let it go: if he dares to come, break his legs! Li Yuexian had no choice but to give up.

That year, when I met him at the Beijing train station, he was already dressed relatively neatly. Carrying a black bag of artificial leather, with cotton sheets on his body, and wearing a blue hat, new. He walked through the bustling crowd, and when he saw a single lady, he leaned up and whispered after them: Fortune telling? The lady was a white-collar woman in a suit and skirt, and she was very beautiful, and the white-collar woman rolled her eyes and looked at him and said, "No." He kept chasing other people's butts and said: Big girl, forget it. If you're good at everything, your marriage won't go well...... The woman stood still and said, "How do you know that my marriage is not going well?" And he said, Thou hast put it in thy countenance. Do the math? The woman said, "Look at your poor sour appearance." I said it, it doesn't count. You don't chase anymore. You're chasing me and calling 110 again.

It's laughable. A person with such a bad fate, he also tells fortunes. At the time, I used to laugh at him. At that time, I thought, I read a few books in college. As far as the eight characters of a person are concerned, it is difficult to frame a person's life. Otherwise, there are so many people born at the same time in the same year, month, and day, why are their fates completely different? Therefore, it is difficult to generalize about a person's destiny as well as innate factors as well as acquired opportunities and efforts. If he really knows how to do the math, he should do the math for himself.

At the train station, in the bustling crowd, when I saw him, he was still a little embarrassed, as if he wanted to hide. Especially when I saw him stop people from telling fortunes...... But after all, it's from a village, and I'm still an elder, so I don't pretend I don't know. What's more, time has turned him into a little old man. He smiled wryly as I stood in front of him. I laughed too. He said: "Gentlemen, I have a piece here, Lao Cai's." So, I laughed, invited him to dinner, and learned about my uncle's death...... He said that the old uncle became a tree. It's a "secret".

On this day, when he drank two small bottles of Erguotou, the words became thicker. He squinted his eyes close to my ear and secretly told me that I knew a lot of secrets. Would you like to hear it...... He said proudly, don't hide it from you, just with this "secret", he deceived Cai Sifan three times in a row.

I told you that the third daughter of the old uncle was originally named Cai Weixiang, and after she became the boss with money, she changed her name to Cai Sifan. Ms. Cai Sifan is now a cunning rabbit, and she has her own house and office in the province, city and county. One evening, Liang Wufang found Cai Sifan in a newly built Sifan community in the county seat. He was wearing a straw hat, and when he saw Mr. Cai coming out of a small building, he greeted him and said: Xiang, Xiaoxiang. I have a note here, written by Lao Cai. Cai Sifan doesn't like people to mention the past the most, so he ignores him, and just walks forward "Da'er, Da'er". He immediately changed his words and said: Mr. Cai, I don't know you, I'm your Uncle Fang, I have a "note" written by your father here...... Cai Sifan stopped and said: Yo, fifth uncle, who else should I be? Did my dad write you a note? He said, "Yes." Your dad wrote it a few years ago. You always know his words, right? Unexpectedly, Cai Sifan took the "white strip", didn't even look at it, spit on it with a "bah", threw it on the ground casually, and said: He wrote a "white strip", you will come to me? I don't admit it!

Liang Wufang had no choice, so he chased after him...... People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries. I'm not scaring you, I see you have a sinister look on your face. Cai Sifan said: Yes...... Cai Sifan first came out of the "foot house", who hasn't seen it? Then, she said: Fifth uncle, lack of money to spend, right? He said, "No, no." I see that you have a calamity. should be on a tree. I'm going to tell you how to break it...... Cai Sifan glanced at him and said, "Fifth uncle, I'm busy, so I won't accompany you." You take the 500 yuan, and you can't take it as an example. After saying that, he took out five hundred yuan from his bag and put it in his hand. Get in the car and go.

The second time, at No. 122 Shifu Street, in the office of Cai Sifan, President Cai, Liang Wufang deceived the security guard and came in again. When Cai Sifan saw him, he snorted in his nose and said: Fifth uncle, here again? He said: Mr. Cai, people have no long-term concerns, and there must be near-term worries. I'm not scaring you...... Cai Sifan stopped the conversation and said: Fifth uncle, believe it or not, I can call the security guard now and throw you out! He crouched down on the ground and said, "Believe, I believe." That pomegranate grows very well, but it has evil spirits. Cai Sifan looked at him, shook his head, and said, "I haven't seen a ...... like you He said: Girl, to be honest, money is a little tight. Borrow two flowers. When the government loses money, I will pay you back. Cai Sifan said: How much? He said, "I don't borrow much, just 8,000 yuan." Cai Sifan said: You treat me as a bank? He said: Mr. Cai, this is not a drop in the bucket for you? I'll pay you back. Aren't you all "paid" for that fee (hush money)? Buy a calm. Cai Sifan said: That's a rumor, you believe it. He said, "I know it's a rumor." You say, "How can a pomegranate have flesh?" Right. Rumor. When I turn around, I will draw a talisman and put incense on Lao Cai, so as not to let him pester you......

At the dinner table, Liang Wufang told me that it was this sentence that frightened Cai Sifan and gave him a thousand yuan. When he was about to go out, he turned his head again and said, "My talisman will keep you safe for three months."

He attached himself to my ear and whispered to me, "Don't look at her loud voice and be scared."

For the third time, in a furniture wholesale market in the provincial capital, Mr. Cai Cai Sifan was cutting the ribbon for the newly opened furniture store, and Liang Wufang came again. This time, without waiting for him to speak, Cai Sifan greeted him with a smile and said, "Fifth uncle, here." Let's go to my office...... With that, he pulled him into the upstairs office. Then he closed the door and said to him: Fifth uncle, I'm busy now, can you wait a while? He said, "You're busy." You're busy. Your gate is facing the wrong direction, this is called a fierce gathering...... Cai Sifan said: You drink some water first, and I'll be back in a while. After speaking, he closed the door and went downstairs.

After a quarter of an hour, the door opened, and Cai Sifan led the police from the three police stations in. Cai Sifan said: Director Liu, that's him. So, the police at the police station took out the handcuffs and said sharply: Stand up! Cai Wufang stood up immediately, subconsciously stretched out his two hands, and let people be handcuffed in a proper manner, and then said: Government, I, what did I do wrong? The head of the police station said: You are suspected of extortion, go, go to the police station. Liang Wufang said as he walked: Xiang, folks in the township, why are you like this? I have your father's "note" in my hand.

Mr. Cai said: Hmph, I think you are eating smoothly!

Three days later, Cai Sifan was a little unbearable, after all, he was a fellow villager, and besides...... So, she called the head of the police station and asked Liang Wufang to be released. Later, she called the mayor of the town again (the current boss is familiar with government officials) and asked the people in the town to pick up Liang Wufang from the provincial capital.

However, within a few days, Liang Wufang came again. He was still wearing a straw hat, carrying a blanket roll on his back, his eyes rolled to the white place, squatted in front of Cai Sifan's door, stretched out two hands, and said: Mr. Cai, you are rich and powerful, and you still handcuff me. I don't have anywhere to go anyway.

Cai Sifan said: Come in.

After Cai Sifan let him in the door, he just looked at him like that and didn't say a word...... Behind her stood four men, all of whom were more than 1.8 meters tall, with big shoulders and round waists.

A quarter of an hour later, Liang Wufang rolled away with a blanket on his back. According to his own account, he walked in a bit of a panic, tripped and almost knocked out his front teeth! He went directly to the Letters and Visits Bureau with the cover roll on his back. When I entered the door, I gasped and said, "I still have to rely on the government." I have to rely on the government...... These words were a bit abrupt, and the director of the Letters and Visits Bureau was stunned.

Liang Wufang whispered to me: "Lost, I only tell you alone, if I die one day, I will either float up from the river, or let the car crash and die on the road...... That must have been Mr. Cai's fault.

I was a little surprised and said: Cai Weixiang?

He said, "Just her." Now the name has been changed, his name is Cai Sifan, Lai Chong.

I said, "Are you scared?"

He gasped and said, "You don't know." I haven't seen anything like it. She, she raised her eyebrows, and her eyes were black. She's going to kill, how dare she......

I asked: What the hell is going on?

He said, "Her eyes are poisonous, too poisonous...... How dare she...... The black mist at her glance, the black thorns lit up and lit up, like an ant's nest. It's true. Her father, Lao Cai, must have been killed by her...... Die, where do you believe?

When I was a child, I felt this way in the village. But...... I said, "A village, won't you?"

He said: What do you think, why did she and her mother deal with Lao Cai, everyone in this village knows it......

I asked, "Where is the pomegranate?"

He said, "I'll find it." Find me and tell you. Then he said: Guys, let's give some more "information fees". I'll tell you this secret.

Later, he suddenly said very seriously: Lost, you are so rich, have you ever visited a massage parlor? That's it, what's that......

I looked at him in surprise and said, "Have you shopped?"

He said, "No." Spring is the only way down the river. It's over.

In our hometown, there is also a popular folk saying, called: "Spring only down the river slope - go to the ball".

This is a vernacular that only locals can understand. Harucai is a man's name (he's still alive now), and I'll tell you about that later.

The original meaning of "Chuncai goes down the river slope - to the ball" is: Chuncai cut his genitals in the river slope. This tragic life story has produced a kind of comic absurdity in our hometown. Later, it was extended to be finished, finished, and completely ...... meaning. This phrase is usually said with a smile, as long as someone says, "Spring is the only way down the river...... Then, the following words need not be said again, which indicates the complete failure of a person or an event.

This is also the biggest advantage of our hometown people: that is, to face failure with a smile in a playful tone.

Here, I would like to say that Liang Wufang's ending is also quite comic.

In Yinghe Town, Liang Wufang is extremely famous as a "professional petitioner". In the past 38 years, if you count the roads he has traveled a little, according to the minimum distance of 20 kilometers per day, he has at least circled the earth seven or eight times! This statistic could have entered the Guinness Book of World Records. Such a "great trip", in the eyes of local government officials, is a scalp-tingling thing. As soon as the local government officials mentioned him, they shook their heads again and again, saying: If he has a little reason, he can sue the moon.

Especially in recent years, he has become old, dizzy, his hands are shaking, he can't write, and he no longer makes so many requests when he petitions. He said, "He doesn't want anything, he just wants a home (woman)." He hoped that the government would get his woman back and give him a home. However, this matter cannot be solved by the government. Li Yuexian, who remarried to Sun Liu Zhao Village in the early years, is now full of children and grandchildren, and is already someone's grandmother, so she will never come back to live with him. Therefore, neither the county nor the town dared to agree to him, so he could only continue to petition.

However, during the Chinese New Year, the county officials were still a little nervous, for fear that he would have any influence in Beijing. So he had to send people again and again to appease him. Now Liang Wufang is old, and his legs and feet are not so dexterous, and he has to be supported when getting in and out of the car. Every time, the county and town officials took him back from Beijing, gave him a few dollars, sent them to the village, and said to him kindly: Old man, these days, just these days, you can't go out! He was very cooperative and said: Don't worry. There are a lot of people in Beijing these days, and the investigation is strict, so let's not go. Seeing that he had a good attitude, the deputy mayor who often went to pick him up said: Old man, Erguotou bought you ten bottles, the little two taels, is it enough? He said, "Enough, enough." It's just that the egg hurts. The deputy mayor smiled and said, "Think about that?" He shook his head and said, "Spring is just going down the river...... In this regard, the two sides reached a tacit understanding.

When he went out again after the festival, he carried a stick and even went to the county petition bureau to bend and report: I went. At this time, no one paid attention to him. He went in one by one next to the office door, and when he went in, he said, "I'm going." I'm going. Still no one cares. He was frustrated.

It is said that Liang Wufang wandered around the market all the year round, and he carried a stick, and while petitioning, he also earned a little money by selling his mouth. Sometimes he blocks the road to tell people hexagrams, earn some hexagram money or something. Sometimes he would pretend to be blind, roll his eyes, and reach out to people to ask for money...... At the end of the year, it is enough to eat and drink.

Once, on the street of the county seat, Liang Wufang was walking down the street with a stick, and the horn sounded behind him, and a black car drove over...... Liang Wufang looked back and saw that it was the car of the female secretary in the county, and he actually remembered her car number. At this point, he tilted his body and sat down on the ground. The driver honked the horn a few times, and the female secretary was sitting in the car, and when she looked up and saw that it was him, her face immediately changed, and she was very angry. At this time, the driver sitting in front of him opened the car door and said, "Bastard, this is a slander!" Secretary Lin, I'll ask someone to take him away. The female secretary looked at the bustling streets and two rows, all of whom were onlookers. After a moment of silence, he said, "Forget it." Help him over. When the secretary helped him to the car, Liang Wufang said with a hippie face: God, I can find the government. Being able to sit in the secretary's car is worth it, and my life is worth it...... Seeing the female secretary's serious face, he was still a little stunned in his heart, sighed, and said in a whisper: If I don't commit a crime, my daughter will be as old as you...... The female secretary turned her face to look at him, and after a long time, she said: Old man, what do you tell me to say about you...... How old is this year?

He said, "Two out of sixty."

The female secretary groaned for a while and said to the secretary: Go back to the office. Inform the Director of the Bureau of Letters and Visits.

When the director of the Letters and Visits Bureau arrived at the secretary's office, he saw the female secretary walking around the room with her hands on her shoulders and frowning...... The director of the Letters and Visits Bureau came in and reported: Secretary Lin, are you looking for me?

The female secretary said: Why hasn't Liang Wufang's problem been solved yet?

The director of the Letters and Visits Bureau was stunned, with a bitter face, and didn't know what to say......

The female secretary said: I mean, what else does he want?

The director of the Letters and Visits Bureau said angrily: He is just a hob meat. He asked for a lot, and he had to pay him how much money he had to pay for a mouth in the past, and the lion opened his mouth wide! Now, he's saying he wants a home!

The female secretary said: Give him a home. Don't let him run, the impact is too bad.

The director of the Letters and Visits Bureau said with a crying voice: He is messing around. said he wanted a "home", but in fact, he wanted a woman, where should I find a woman for him?

The female secretary said: Yes. That's a problem. But he's so old, and he has no children or daughters, so it's pitiful...... Well, you can't let him do anything. If a woman can't find it, she can give it home.

The director of the Letters and Visits Bureau was stunned, not knowing what to do, and said: This, home......

The female secretary said: In this way, say hello to Yinghe Town and send him to a welfare home. Give him a place to retire.

The director of the Letters and Visits Bureau saw that the secretary had a resolute attitude, so he had no choice but to do it. In Yinghe Town, everyone knows that Liang Wufang is a hob meat and a difficult master. The cadres in the town originally wanted to push it off, but the secretary personally called and had to do it...... When the director of the Bureau of Letters and Visits completed the formalities and took people and cars to send Liang Wufang to the welfare home, he still did not go. He said, "Spare me." I'm used to it. I'm walking around alone.

The director said, "No." This time it is mandatory. It's useless for you to sue the sky.

The last time I saw him was in the town's welfare home.

I also heard that this welfare home was invested by Cai Sifan, President Cai......

I remember going to see him once before. At that time, he still seemed a little sluggish. It was a September day, the autumn sun was shining, Liang Wufang was sitting on a chair in the sun, sitting with a few old people who were flowing with water...... I said, "Fifth uncle, do you still recognize me?"

He was still stunned, and muttered in his mouth: Qilin, Dragon Qilin......

I said, "Fifth uncle, is it me?" I bought the pomegranate.

He said, "Here it is, here comes the car......

I said: Fifth uncle, don't pretend, I'm a loser......

He said: Government, be honest, I am honest.

I looked into his eyes, and there were no more "stars" in his eyes.

Then it was different. Later, on the day Liang Wufang turned sixty-eight, I went to see him again in the town's welfare home. He's sitting in the sun, telling fortunes. In this welfare home, inside and outside the courtyard, there are full of cars, all of whom come to him for fortune telling...... I saw Liang Wufang, the fifth uncle, sitting there quietly, like years, quite scary. But from time to time he blinked blindfolded, and when he was talking to people, for a moment, he smiled very mysteriously.

Could it be that this is nirvana? So, I have to ask, what did he come to this world for sixty-eight years ago? I do not know.

Here, I also want to tell you that after I entered the city, every time Liang Wufang looked for me, he held a "white strip" in his hand, and the "white strip" was written by my old uncle. I have received many "white strips" from my old uncle, some written on cigarette box paper, some are only two fingers wide, and the first sentence of each "white strip" is: "Seeing words is like face...... I suspect that the later "white stripes" are likely to be forged.
