Shenzhou calendar.

2020, the Year of the Rat, the Year of the Gengzi. Because sixty in the world is a Jiazi reincarnation, it is also known as the year of Da Gengzi......

Equinox.

This year's weather is different from usual, strange and changeable, originally because it was the spring equinox, but the land was still hungry and cold, the sky was dark and cold, and the cold north wind was still slashing the old willow tree in the yard......

In the usual season, the old willow in the yard has long since returned to green, but now it is different, but it is still dull.

Under the old willow sat an old man in a gray Taoist uniform, dressed simply. His hands kept pinching something, and he looked at the sky in a daze and sighed. The wooden courtyard behind him looked like it had been many years ago.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you now? It's all like an hour, and it's still so cold for Ha Tian'er?"

In the distance, I heard a slightly immature accent coming from the other side of the ravine.

It took a while to see a thin child, staggering over, struggling in the cold wind. While exhaling into the palm of his hand, his face was flushed, thin and pitiful.

The sloppy old man looked at the child, and then said with a serious expression, "Heaven and earth are in disorder, the righteous gods have not returned, and there are many disasters and difficulties......."

The small mountain village doesn't have a serious name, and there are not many people on the mountain, and no one cares about it, but there are only about 20 families in total, which is really pitiful. And Mo Laodao is a celebrity in this small mountain village, a wonderful person who can pinch and calculate......

Twelve years ago.

This old man surnamed Mo picked up the baby in swaddling clothes, and now the hungry child, that year is also the Year of the Rat, the Year of the Gengzi.

The child was named Zhuang Yu, which means emperor.

Mr. Mo also has no family, and the children are thinly dressed, but they are very sensible and can endure hardships. I learned a lot of things and a lot of words......

The child also knows his life experience, and he also feels very kind to his grandfather, although his life is poorer, but fortunately, he has learned a lot of interesting things. There are few people in the village, and there are not many children, so it is still very interesting for Zhuang Yu to follow Ah Ye every day, and it would be even better if there was a hot meal every night......

"What's the matter? Those things you taught you, you have to wet the bed to pee back, why have you forgotten the exquisiteness of the old willow in our house?

"Why, what, that's going to drop. The child replied humbly.

"Tell me what the truth is. "Master Mo is sitting precariously. In Zhuang Yu's memory, whenever he discussed some truth with Ah Ye, he would be extremely serious and couldn't make any jokes.

"Heaven and earth are positioned, the mountains are ventilated, the thunder and wind are thin, and the water and fire do not shoot each other. Yin and yang are not even, two instruments and four images, the congenital eight numbers deviate, and it is difficult for the gods to be in place, so it is as follows. ”

"Well, how do you get it?"

"There is no solution, it is difficult to solve it without manpower. Zhuang Yu replied seriously.

"The universe is infinite, supplemented by the twenty-eight constellations, the star position deviates, and the innate eight techniques deviate, and there is no solution. Jiazi reincarnation is difficult to interfere with, the star orbit is different, and the anomalies are numerous......"

"In order to be in awe of nature, take it slowly, wait for the return of the stars, and then solve it. ”

Grandpa's eyes were golden, thoughtful, and nodded slowly.

Look, Ah Yu, this little ghost, is still attentive, and he has this talent......

"Ah master, I'm going to cook and eat, why don't you wait. After the child finished answering, he walked towards the back room weakly, and his figure was a little thin, which made people feel distressed.

After a long time, the smoke slowly came out of the chimney of the old wooden courtyard, and the back room was mixed with a few weak coughing sounds from time to time, and the sound became smaller and smaller, becoming dull......

There are not many households in the nameless mountain village, most of them are concentrated at the foot of the mountain, but Mo Laodao lives in the middle of the mountain stream with a small child, facing the southeast, sitting on the entire mountain river, and the small alley at the foot of the mountain is also unobstructed.

According to Lao Dao's own words, the old willow in front of the door has the hope of gathering yang and nourishing qi, commonly known as yin and yang eyes, and the mountains and rivers are balanced, which is really a place to nourish qi. But looking at Zhuang Yu's weak physique, it does not make people doubt Lao Dao's nonsense, but there is no way to persuade Lao Dao to settle at the foot of the mountain.

Zhuang Yu has never complained about these, but the so-called feng shui treasure has not been made to thrive, and his body is still weak. Since Lao Dao has not answered, he must have made sense. Since he was a child, he has taught Zhuang Yu to read and write, and he is particularly strict with the Xuanyi stars, mountains and rivers......

The alley at the foot of the mountain has an inconspicuous nickname, called Youlong Lane, and the old wooden courtyard of Mo Lao Road is where the dragon's head is, there is a posture of soaring, the mid-mountain stream is particularly prominent, the mountains and rivers are all over at a glance, and there is the old willow at the door to make a formation eye, which is naturally wonderful......

Only the west side of the wooden courtyard is a cliff, but there is a leaf feldspar extending extremely long, every dusk, the old and young in the alley slowly climb up the mountain stream, walk through the wooden courtyard of Mo Lao Road, and look up at the old willow in front of the door, the child is not big and shouts a sentence Zhuang Yu by the way, the child will also respond, and then go to the west of the long stone together, sometimes the old road also goes back, but I don't like to be too lively.

Watching the sunset, the red embers and the sun, blowing cowhides to each other, it is very comfortable.

I don't know how long it took for the smoke in the back room to fade......

There are two more bowls of soup on the bench in the wooden courtyard, and next to it is a broken wooden basket, in which are placed three or two pieces of cornmeal spread yellow cakes, some places are too charred and black, but they are steaming, and the two bowls of green vegetable and radish soup do not see how to oil and water, but in this chaotic season, it gives people a different kind of warmth in the cold winter......

"Ah master, let's eat, this time it's not very ......mushy," the child said heavily, looking at the scorched black on the stool, his face was a little red, and one hand unconsciously grabbed the hair on the back of his head......

But there is progress compared to before, Zhuang Yu thought so, smiling and a little happy.

Mo Laodao looked at the little flower cat with black smoke on his face, and he had to smile slightly, which made the child even more happy.

Looks like it's done well......

In Zhuang Yu's opinion, Ah Ye rarely laughs, and he only has to be kind to himself, others can be said to have always been cold-faced, even a few old women in Youlong Lane at the foot of the mountain, and Master Mo has no choice, so he doesn't care at all......

Master Mo sat aside, Zhuang Yu immediately picked up a piece of yellow cake from the basket, handed it to Ah Ye, and gently put the vegetable soup on the nearest right hand side of Ah Ye's hand, picked up the bamboo chopsticks with both hands and put it down next to the old bowl.

There are no rules.

Then I picked up the yellow rice crackers and broke them in half, put them back in the basket low, and began to chew them in small bites, and swallowed gently on the vegetable soup......

From time to time, he looked at Ah Ye, smiling and revealing a mouth full of white teeth, life may have been a little more warm at that moment, even if life is very hard. Even if it is cold at this time of the spring equinox, it is not cold at this moment, and the world is full of fireworks......

From childhood to adulthood, children are the same way to behave as people, and they are so sensible that they are distressing.

There are less than 20 households in the alley, and a few families live in the middle of nowhere, so the whole hill may be a bit overwhelming with more than 100 people.

Occasionally, there are a few people from other places, and they don't stay for long. There is a small shop in Youlong Lane, with a complete range of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and occasionally a little high-end foreign goods, but for Zhuang Yu, it is a new thing that has not been tasted at all.

There are not many children in the alley, and in the usual season, Zhuang Yu will go to the river with a few leather children every day to fish and catch shrimp, and go up the mountain to hunt for treasure. Maybe if you're lucky, you can get some wild vegetables or some pheasants that have been caught by animals to improve your diet. But this year is really an accident, the sky is not beautiful, more than helpless!

There is no big traditional festival in the alley, and Zhuang Yu is the happiest if he doesn't have a New Year, because he can always see some strange things in the hands of other children, even if he doesn't have it, he can look at it from a distance, and he is happy and happy with it silly......

In addition, you can eat fragrant rice and a few pieces of greasy fat during the New Year, and the people in the alley are also harmonious, no matter how much, they will give a little to Zhuang Yu and the old couple on the mountain, so the children are also very grateful.

I remember that a few years ago, the bursts of firecrackers in the alley exploded at night, and all kinds of red couplets and door paintings were pasted on the door, and this year, Ah Ye didn't know where to get a few feet of red paper, and he also wrote couplets.

The couplets are longer!

A piece of white clouds come and go, and the bridgehead is obliquely folded plum blossoms and laughs

Double riding yellow cranes, ethereal Baihua Pond, high-rise jade flutes break the dust

Horizontal batch of eight characters.

Year after year, year after year

Zhuang Yu saw that this was a little different from the couplet in the alley at the foot of the mountain, and he didn't dare to ask more, of course, these were also very festive. Mo Laodao used the remaining red paper to write a few small words for the child for the first time.

Year after year, broken and peaceful.

The child was a little disappointed, how could it be similar to the door frame, but he still carefully put away the small words, gently folded them, and put them into the small bag in his heart, after all, this is a New Year's gift from Ah Ye, which is worth being happy about. After that, Zhuang Yu put away the extra red paper on the case again, and quietly wrote a couplet by himself, with powerful notes and beautiful skills.

It's a gift for Ah Ye.

But he never dared to say it, and remained cautious until one day......

Repay Yangchun and know where to go

Wine should be sent to life

Ah Ye likes to drink, likes to drink osmanthus wine, and I don't know what it tastes like, but this year's spring came relatively late, and I don't know how long it will take......

Whenever Zhuang Yu thinks of this, he feels that this day is really getting better and better, it is worth suffering a little, and everything is getting better......

As soon as he thought of the New Year, the child was a little greedy, and secretly glanced at Ah Ye, immediately turned his neck, and swallowed his saliva fiercely, the fat is so good. It's just that now that the spring equinox has just arrived, I don't know how long it will take to eat, it seems that it is still far from the next year, and the weather is cold, and I can't go up the mountain and down the river to get some wild mouths. Thinking of this, the child was a little angry, and scolded softly and fiercely: Thief!

That knows, suddenly out of thin air a thunderous explosion.

The spring rain is coming.

A spring rain, an oil.

It seems that this year's spring is not too late......
