Chapter 7: Onozawa

Therefore, according to old legends, Onozawa is more than a thousand feet deep.

There is also a folk saying that there is a secret passage under Onozawa that leads directly to the sea.

Legend has it that the Dragon King of the East China Sea is afraid of the inside, and his wife of the Dragon King is the beloved daughter of the Emperor Ziwei, although she is as beautiful as a flower, but her temperament is extremely strong, and she is very strict with the Lord of the Dragon King.

The dragon king sneaked in at night, and Tianming had already returned to the palace, just to avoid the fierce woman and get the joy of a night of clouds and rain.

Of course, this is just a folklore of foolish men and women who are idle to chew on the root of their tongues, and it is not enough to examine.

Liu Heng didn't know if there was the little wife of the dragon king living in the big field, he only knew that the strength of that snake demon was extremely terrifying! Once it sneaked into its lair and launched a sneak attack, that person had great powers, and Xu Neng ran away with a puff of smoke, but he was sure to die!

............

After the Taoist left, Liu Heng no longer went into the water to fish.

He just habitually went to the water's edge of the big nozawa every day, squatting at the water's edge from morning to night, and watching the clouds rise and fall on the water surface stupidly, and the birds and fish jumped.

Until the afternoon of the third day, he didn't go out in the afternoon, and at noon, he called Chen Le and asked him to take the blue cloth that had not yet had time to be made into a robe, and walked to the small courtyard of Mr. Huang in the same village.

The big yellow dog ran before and after, so unhappy.

Mr. Huang's yard is slightly decent, and it is one of the best houses in the village. There are three main rooms, civil engineering structure, the old couple live by themselves, entertain guests, the east chamber is used as a kitchen, and the west chamber has two thatched halls, but it is the place where Mr. teaches.

Xiao Liu Zhangzheng and more than a dozen children from the same village listened to Mr. Huang's lectures.

Liu Heng didn't speak, just squatted in Mr. Huang's yard.

Chen Le had no choice but to squat down and wait with him.

Grandma Huang heard the movement of two dogs playing together in the yard in the middle of weaving, came out of the room to see, and saw Liu Heng and the brothers squatting in the corner, so she beckoned them into the house to talk and wait, Liu Heng just didn't go.

It wasn't until after two teas that Mr. Huang asked the schoolchildren to read aloud, and then he slowly paced out of the west wing, and saw Liu Heng squatting in the corner of the wall, and Chen Le holding a piece of blue cloth, so he beckoned them to enter the hall to talk, and when they were about to reach the door, Liu Heng turned back to Chen Le and said: "Wait outside the door, hide away, don't eavesdrop." ”

Chen Le was a little confused.

Liu Heng ignored him, took the cloth from his hand, and entered the house.

Mr. Huang is the most knowledgeable person in the village, Liu Heng and his brothers and sisters, including all the young people in the village, no matter how much ink they have in their stomachs, almost all of them are given by Mr. Huang.

Therefore, everyone has special respect for this tall and thin old man.

Liu Heng entered the door, and Chen Le touched his head and walked away.

Seeing that Liu Zhang, the fourth child, and Huang Dayuan, the grandson of Mr. Huang, did not study, but looked into the yard with their heads, they stomped their feet at them, "Hurry up and endorse!" and called Rhubarb out of the house again, glared at Liu Zhang, but reprimanded it, "That's Mr.'s study, you are not allowed to enter!"

Rhubarb hippie smiles, as if there is no repentance.

Liu Zhang was afraid of his second brother, so his head retracted.

Chen Le was sullen alone, holding the dog, squatting in the yard.

Liu Heng turned around and closed the door.

In the back room is the sound of Grandma Huang weaving.

Mr. Huang sat down and looked at him.

"Say, what's wrong?" he said.

Liu Heng licked his lips, hesitated for a moment, and carefully put the cloth on the table.

"I went to the city the day before yesterday, the fish were sold out, I thought that the fourth child came to listen to the lecture all day long, and the three of us also came from time to time, but we never tied my husband, so I bought this cloth, and wanted the third girl to cut a robe for my husband to wear. Later, I thought about it, Sanya's craftsmanship was not as good as Grandma Huang, so it was better to simply take the cloth. ”

Mr. Huang glanced at the cloth and did not speak.

There was a stool, but Liu Heng didn't sit, he squatted down slowly.

Put your hands on your knees and your chin on your palms.

Honest look.

The feeling of being at a loss.

Say. Mr. Huang urged him.

He finally spoke, his voice a little dry, "I probably won't be able to come back." ”

Mr. Huang frowned, "Then don't go." ”

He shook his head, "No, no." ”

Mr. Huang frowned again, "Then run away." ”

He shook his head again, but this time, he didn't speak.

After a while, he reached out and took out a large cloth bag from his bosom, which looked a little heavy—but strangely, such a large burden was in his arms just now, and it was not at all conspicuous, so that no one could see it without paying attention.

The burden was placed on the table, and it rattled.

It is the sound of the copper coin.

He said: "This is the 500 money we have saved from fishing in the past few years. ”

Mr. Huang looked at him, not at the baggage.

His gray beard trembled a little.

Liu Heng squatted back and said slowly: "Chen Le looks smart, but he is too impulsive to do things, his temper is very short-tempered, the third girl is greedy, a sugar man can coax people away, and the fourth child is too cowardly and timid." I...... Not very reassuring. ”

Mr. Huang's lips trembled slightly.

His eyes were firmly fixed on Liu Heng, as if he wanted to make eye contact with him.

But Liu Heng didn't even raise his head.

I don't seem to be dare.

After I don't know how long, the sound of the machine in the back room had already stopped when the two of them were not paying attention.

But Grandma Huang didn't come out.

Mr. Huang's big withered hand reached out, landed on the burden, and gently pressed it.

He said, "I'll keep it for you, and you can get it as soon as possible." ”

Liu Heng squatted on the ground and seemed to grin.

The stupidity is revealed.

He stood up abruptly, licked his lips, and with that silly smile on his face, bowed deeply to Mr. Huang, then turned and opened the door.

Calling Chen Le, he said, "Let's go." ”

............

The brothers took Rhubarb with them all the way to the waterside of Onozawa.

The belongings that the four siblings had eaten over the years—mainly the small boat that had been repaired several times—were hidden in the reeds not far away.

The lake is so vast that you can't see the edge at a glance.

Unknown wild birds roam the low surface of the lake.

Liu Heng didn't speak, and looked at the lake quietly as usual.

After a long time, Chen Le finally couldn't hold it back, and took the initiative to say, "Brother, I'll go with you! Anyway, I can help row, even if we escape, we can hurry up, right?"

Liu Heng smiled when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Chen Le.

After a while, he stood up, stomped on the ground under his feet, and said: "In two cases, first, when you are really desperate and have no food to eat, and second, when you want to marry the fourth child or tell the third girl about the mother-in-law's family, if the money is not enough, come and dig this land." ”

After a pause, he said, "Come in the evening." ”

Chen Le was surprised and looked down at the land under his feet.

I don't see the slightest abnormality.

At this time, his eldest brother looked up deeply at the vast Onozawa, then turned around and said, "Go, go home!"

............

Early the next morning, it was still dark.

Liu Heng suddenly heard a snoring sound coming from the yard.

It was obviously far away, but it was louder than the snoring of Chen Le and Liu Zhang in the house.

He sighed inwardly, put on his clothes and got out of bed.

A harpoon, which has been sharpened and rubbed and rubbed and rubbed for the first two days.

Sanya himself slept peacefully on the other side, breathing very thinly, but very peacefully.

He walked out of the house lightly.
