Chapter 2 Worship the stars in the temple of donkeys
Back in the courtyard, several households next to it began to know that Suosuo closed the doors and windows, and almost posted the deputy door god and raised a few vicious dogs to avoid going to the door alone.
Fortunately, Shan Shuang is already familiar with it, and he can't stand any big problems, so he pushes the house into the door, and he is completely loose.
Only this courtyard is always the most willing to accept him.
Boiling a few yellow-skinned potatoes from last year is even a fool of dinner.
"Shan Shuang, I'll exchange buns for your potatoes, what's the matter?"
Shan Shuang sat in the courtyard with a bowl, a little head with pigtails didn't know when to climb on the wall, snot flowing, and the big eyes with aura were looking at the fragrant mashed potatoes in the bowl in a daze.
"Aren't you afraid that your father and mother will know about it and put you in the pigsty again?"
The slug calls it by its name, and it is no surprise that it is single and double. This is printed in the same mold as her mother. Calling her father, she is all a mouthful of Li San, and she is also a thief when she screams.
This little girl is very big, maybe she is used to eating steamed noodles at home, but she has a soft spot for potatoes that are cooked in one and two ways.
The yellow-skinned potatoes I have eaten over the years have not been eaten in vain, and the potatoes are good at burning, and the pot is fragrant and strong, which is a good craft.
"Li Sancai is reluctant! I, Li Yaozong, sleep in a pigsty, and he is not allowed to stay with him for a night. ”
The little girl pursed her lips, full of confidence. I don't know which unreliable gossip Taoist priest gave her such a big name. Especially when the little girl wiped her nose and said it, she didn't feel wrong at all, and it was really weird.
picked up a bowl and divided half a bowl for Li Yatou, and she really took out two big white buns from her pocket and stuffed them to Shan Shuang.
Singles and doubles are not hypocritical, Li San is a famous blacksmith in Dilonggou, he has a good hand of iron, and the large and small iron tools in the village are basically from his hands, and the only hoe in the courtyard is out of Li San's hand.
The business is unique, and the family is naturally rich.
After eating half a bowl of mashed potatoes, Li Yaozong went down with half a bowl of cold water, and then he had a long burp, shook his pigtails, and snorted, so he set up a wooden bench and secretly glanced at the courtyard wall, and after making sure that no one was waiting for the rabbit, he quickly climbed out.
In fact, Shan Shuang wanted to remind her that the door was open.
Shan Shuang doesn't have a good appetite that Li Yaozong has never changed, no matter what she eats, she is gobbling it up. Shan Shuang choked and ate for a long time before chewing and swallowing slowly. drank another bowl of Chinese medicine boiled yesterday, and this is considered to have successfully survived today.
The medicinal herbs in the corner are about to bottom out again, which can make Shan Shuang's brows have a few more black lines.
The bitterness in my mouth is disgusting, and I really want to bite into the fragrant white bread. The new rice of Dilonggou is the most sweet, and every time a foreigner comes, it is full of praise, saying that it is comparable to the fragrant beef.
It's a pity that the mountain road is long, and no one really wants to take some rice out. If there is really that person, it is just to add a few days of wealth.
Singles and doubles looked at the sky, but still didn't eat the white bread. He took the two steamed buns, carried the fruits and food he bought in the afternoon, and rushed to the intersection.
By then, Heiwa had been waiting on the side of the road for a long time. Without saying a word, the black skin blended into the night, but it scared both and scare.
"These star lords, twinkle and twinkle, but they are really waiting for us to worship. ”
Heiwa held the back of her head with both hands, looking at the dazzling starry sky, I don't know if it was envy or other thoughts, and muttered to herself, "If one day, I can also climb to the top of the star!"
Heiwa's face yearned, as if she thought of the best thing in the world.
"Which one do you want to make?"
Looking at the starry sky, although they are all shining, each star is different, and even distinct.
"Of course I'm going to be the brightest one, the head of the stars!"
Heiwa looked at the head of the stars in the north, and waved his hand vigorously at the star, as if to greet it, he would go there one day.
The young man stood eight feet tall, his ambition was higher than the sky, and his desire was boundless.
It's just that the sky is high and the earth is wide, and I'm afraid I can't see his little hands on the ground.
"What about you? Which one do you want to make?" Heiwa asked, staring at the sky, suddenly glancing at the single and double behind her.
"I don't want to be a star, I just think it's good to be alive. It's so cold in the sky, I love the hustle and bustle of the streets. ”
Shan Shuang also likes to look at the stars in the sky, but he has never had any envy, he just likes the other scene of the world under the starlight.
He still prefers the prosperity of the world in the bazaar, the calculations, and the bargaining. People always have to have some popularity to be stable.
"Shan Shuang, what can you do in the future like this, my little brother?"
Heiwa looked at each other, her helplessness was revealed, and she said solemnly, "A strong person is naturally lonely, otherwise how can you have the majesty of a strong person?"
"Yes!" replied without thinking, but then answered in a low voice, "But does the strong have to be high?" I don't think that's right, and it's not good. ”
"You elm pimple!" Heiwa was angry, she was really angry, she wanted to change the cruel worldview of this world to Shan Shuang, but staring at Shan Shuang's pure, impurity-free eyes, she couldn't say that big reason.
In the end, he could only sigh, "That's it, that's it, who let you have me as a future big brother! If someone bullies you in the future, I will settle it for you." ”
After speaking, Heiwa's steps suddenly got up, and the way she walked with the wind couldn't be imitated by single and double.
Tired of carrying the fruits and food purchased in the afternoon, this trip to the mountain is not easy.
Heiwa has spare energy, but she doesn't have the idea of helping. Shan Shuang didn't ask him to make a move, but he remembered that Heiwa once said, "How can the eldest brother mention things, and the younger brother wanders around? ”
Heiwa doesn't understand these crooked truths, and she doesn't have any interest. It's just that these fruits and foods are indeed what he wants to send up the mountain himself.
Half an hour of mountain walking, but Shan Shuang's face turned pale, and the wheezing sound came one after another, making people feel that half of their feet had been buried in the soil.
"I'll go see Grandma Wu first, you wait for me. ”
When they arrived at a fork in the road, Shan Shuang put his things at the intersection, took two steamed buns, and carried some fruit food, and then entered from the fork in the road.
Not far from the intersection is a small tombstone. A few wreaths on the earthy yellow grave were also tattered, floating gently in the black wind.
The road is not far, only a few steps away, but it still takes as long as the mountain to go up.
Although Heiwa was a little impatient, she rarely didn't urge, just wandered around the intersection, occasionally looking at it twice, to make sure that the thin guy in Mai was still safe.
It was nearly half an hour, and Shan Shuang finally came out in anticipation of Heiwa.
The fruits and food brought are lying safely in front of Grandma Wu's tombstone, perhaps the heavens are innocent and spiritual, so that the elderly can enjoy some rare delicacies in life.
There were two white-faced buns, and one was brought back, which made Heiwa a little puzzled.
"If Grandma is still here, I will definitely leave one for Kuixing. ”
Shan Shuang also seems to have seen Heiwa's doubts, which can be regarded as an explanation. It's just that Heiwa put on a look that no one knows yet, to enrich her big brother image.
The two of them wandered all the way, and the night grew deeper, and the sky brightened again after a brief darkness.
Donkey Mountain!
The dragon head that has just emerged in Dilonggou is said to be because the blood of the real dragon's head is spilled here, and the sky is blazing, and since then there has been no half of the green star on the top of the mountain.
The mountain is full of bald rocks, and the stone forest stands on the top, and there are no mosquitoes that are even the most annoying in this dragon ditch.
In the ravines, the two still arrived at a small mountain temple.
The temple is not tall and not big.
A square wooden house, with broken windows, and a stone platform with a hollow roof on it, you can see the endless starry sky at a glance.
This stone platform should not be the mountain stone here, and the mountain stones of Dilonggou are almost all bluestone with extremely hard texture, and they are a little rough and frosted to the touch. And this stone platform is actually a black stone, the facet is like a black mirror, very smooth, reflecting the stars in the night sky.
Although the starlight is brilliant, the reflection is blurred. Only in the northwest, the sixteen stars are slightly clearer. Among them, the first star is the most eye-catching, and if you look closely, you can see that there is some aura of the one in the sky.
Take out a rag and carefully scrub the stone platform. He took out a half-broken broom from the pile of debris and cleaned it carefully, and then put the melons, fruits, and fresh meat on the table one by one.
Three knocks, three knocks, then got up and greeted Heiwa, "You also say goodbye, maybe Master Kuixing will watch it." ”
"Stupid! There are so many scholars in the world, and there is not only one leader in a year. ”
Heiwa rolled her eyes and didn't bother to pay attention. The easiest scam in the world to uncover is the blessing of the gods, but there are fools like Shan Shuang, who believe it to be true.
"Grandma Wu said that sincerity is spirituality. "Put your hands together and confess to the stone platform, it seems that the people of heaven will forgive Heiwa for her rudeness.
"When I become a heavenly person, I will definitely find that Kui Xingye to comment. How can such a sincere person not be favored? ”
Looking at the pious back, Heiwa muttered silently.
When Shan Shuang came out of the temple, it was already the second half of the night. didn't take a few steps back, but I was really hit by the crow of Heiwa's mouth, and a trace of black clouds struck, and it actually rained lightly.
The black baby is stronger than the cow, and the sturdy body is naturally not afraid, but the single and double can not stand the night rain. If he provokes the wind and cold, it will cost him half his life, whether he can take a few more glances in this world, but it really depends on whether Lord Yama agrees.
The two of them could only return to the temple to see the endless drizzle, and they were afraid that they could only spend the night in the temple.
Heiwa scolded and scolded, I didn't know that some planks were removed there, and a fire was barely lit, which was considered to ensure that Shan and Shuang would not freeze to death tonight.
Fortunately, there are no mosquitoes on this mountain, which is suitable for sleeping.
The two of them were back to back and muttered a lot.
After a moment of excitement, it still couldn't withstand the tiredness and drowsiness, so except for the light rain and the occasional slight explosion of the wood fire, there was no other sound in the small temple.
After all, there is a light rain, and after the black clouds disperse, the starlight becomes brighter and brighter.
Under the light of the stars, the stone platform became bright for a while, and the pitch-black texture actually began to shine.
Heiwa is dreaming, and the dream is a clear sky.
Above him was the heavens, beneath his feet was the earth, and beyond that, he was himself.
"Baby, what are you still thinking about?"
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared, and there was an old man with a hook back next to Heiwa.
"Aren't you afraid of this?"
Seeing Heiwa staring at him, the old man couldn't help but ask again.
"In reality, I am not afraid of anyone, am I afraid of anyone in my dreams?"
Heiwa stared at the old man coldly, without any fear, but revealing a thick unkindness.
"This is my world, why did I invite you?"
Feeling Heiwa's hostility, the old man couldn't cry or laugh, and Heiwa waved his hand again, "Get out, don't affect me here." ”
One word, and the world changes.
The rejection that exists all the time around makes the old man open his mouth slightly, and there is a lot of surprise in his eyes.
The old man wanted to speak, but Heiwa frowned, seemed extremely impatient, and roared, "I'll let you get out." ”
In the heavy drinking, thousands of miles of dark clouds gathered, lightning and thunder, the black baby was like the emperor who flashed golden light, the heaven and the earth were reversed, he was already above the nine heavens, and pointed to the old man with one hand, which was the emperor's holy decree.
Even the old man began to appear a slight blur.
At this moment, the old man's face finally showed a look of shock, and he turned to anxiety, and he didn't care about any elegant etiquette, and shouted, "I can take you out of the sky." ”
Suddenly, the sky was clear and the wind was warm.
Looking at the young man who was looking at him, the old man's heart, which had not been shaken for a long time, seemed to have a trace of agitation.
"Who are you?"
Heiwa looked at the old man for the first time and asked.
"Master Kuixing!"
The old man breathed a sigh of relief and raised his head slightly, finally able to say his name that was admired by thousands of people.
But after hearing the shock and exclamation that Heiwa should have for a long time, the old man quietly opened his eyes, but what he saw was still the young man's silent and cold gaze.
could only smile awkwardly, and cough lightly, "Before ascending to the sky, the vulgar life Yang Wenyun!"
"Why are you looking for me?"
Heiwa asked again.
"I am moved by your annual sacrifices, and I plan to help you. The old man laughed.
"Joke, how have I ever worshipped you?"
Heiwa did not hesitate to expose the old man's lies.
"Then I am touched by you cleaning up my temple every year, and I plan to help you. The old man continued.
"If you talk nonsense, I'll help you get out. Heiwa was angry, and the nine sunny days had a sign of dark clouds.
"Alas, it's a pity that I, Yang Wenyun, have today. The old man sighed lightly, and could only say truthfully, "You have good talents, you can still cultivate, and you can help me in the future." ”
"Why don't you help him?" Heiwa asked by acquiescing to the old man's question, and then asked.
The old man was a little silent, he didn't know how to answer for a while, he thought for a long time, and said, "His life has a place to go." ”
"Lonely?"
Heiwa suddenly raised her head, and the world was turned upside down, the sun and the moon were reversed, and with a wave of her hand, the stars that didn't know how many people turned into ashes in an instant.
The old man just watched, acknowledging it, but unwilling to explain.
"It's okay if you want me to go with you, but I have one condition!" It wasn't until the starry sky was empty that Heiwa stopped, and without waiting for the old man to seem to agree, he continued, "Give him a chance, I'll keep him alive." ”
The old man's face suddenly looked embarrassed, and his five fingers pondered for a long time, and then he nodded with difficulty.
When he turned around, he had a twisted face. After stepping, it was a limp.
The pockmarked face reflects the sky, holding the stars;
One foot on the dragon gate, dominate.
The old man disappeared on his own, and Heiwa looked at the stars that appeared again at some point, and one day, he would make them disappear forever.
