Chapter 18: A Season of Punching
When they woke up, they were still dizzy.
The old man did not know where to go, but the little donkey was in front of him, and he cried out.
The taste in the mouth is not very pleasant, mostly the nose is flushed, and the mouth is dry and dry. However, I have always been afraid of the cold in this winter, but it is rare and a little hot, the body is warm and yang, and the face is slightly ruddy, not like the sick seedling with his back on his back.
Looking at the fluttering snow, there is no place to stop.
Punch after punch, this snow is the most suitable way to practice.
The fog rose, but it was hot. Singshuang is the hot furnace in the snow, and the ice and snow melt.
The snow that had been deposited for a winter day was finally beginning to melt. Slowly inhale, just for the long howl.
The same is true for learning boxing, practicing slowly, for the sake of that heavy punch.
Turn back seven steps, single and double head up, no wind and waves, flying snow upside down. It's just a punch in the waist, after all, it is intangible.
This punch, the mind is too heavy, there are too many thoughts, and the single and double are not that substantial, and they hand out this punch that can't be delivered.
Scattered the fist fight, carried the basket in both hands and shuang, and went down the mountain, but the donkey followed the fart and walked happily. Occasionally pouting twice, it is not much anger in this winter.
The heavens and the earth are white, only at the foot of Donkey Mountain, there is such an open space. The rain and dew from the melting snowflakes are dripping, and when the odds and balances are gone, they begin to condense ice particles again.
Maybe in a moment, it will be completely covered by the falling snowflakes.
What is really conspicuous are only the seven footprints that are neither deep nor shallow in the clearing. Back and forth, it seems to witness the slow step by step.
One winter, one season of boxing.
After all, it left so many traces and saved so many heritages.
It wasn't until Shan Shuang was far away that the bookkeeper said to the old man on the side, "It's better to practice boxing diligently, otherwise you will take this old wine to melt the snow water." ”
The old man didn't feel distressed, he took a sip of the gourd, grinned, and couldn't close it, "A season of boxing, it is not bad to be able to hide a mouthful of wine." ”
The bookkeeper rolled his eyes, thinking that back then, he drank so many sips and didn't pour, and he didn't see the old man praise him, but said that he didn't know how to respect the elderly, so he left him a few more sips.
The old man's wine has no ability, and if he drinks it, he drinks it for nothing. It's the melted snowflakes, it looks very refreshing, if it's you, you won't be scolded to death by the old man, and you can say anything about a loser.
After returning to the courtyard, Shan Shuang stood at the door for a long time, and the courtyard was calm, but after living in the courtyard for more than ten years, he finally saw the difference.
He bowed slightly, bowed his head, and said, "Thank you, Mr. for protecting me." ”
The poet, who was hidden in the void, walked out with a smile and said, "Entrusted by people, it is just a matter of loyalty." What's more, Xiaoyou can't be said to be an outsider. ”
Shan Shuang raised his head, his expression was rarely a little panicked, and he bowed again and said, "Mr. Xu." ”
Xu Song helped Shan Shuang up and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, seeing you twice is a favor to me, but this worship is unbearable." ”
Shan Shuang shook his head and said seriously, "Whether Mr. is entrusted by others or not, it makes no difference to me. It's just that I owe one more love, more thoughts. ”
Xu Song nodded, and asked again, "Don't ask who I am entrusted by?"
Shan Shuang shook his head and said, "There are not many people who can have this heart, for me." ”
There is still a sentence that has not been said, and now, there is only one person who can still do this.
Xu Song didn't say much, just glanced at the more empty courtyard and asked, "When are you going to leave?"
Shan Shuang also looked at this courtyard with too many memories, if there was no here, without that warm-hearted mother-in-law, he would not have met Heiwa, and he could not find Mr.
After watching it for a long time, Shan Shuang finally sighed, "Stay one more day!"
Xu Song nodded, the plot of his hometown, no one can do without it more or less, that is, he Xu Song, is there no teenager, when he leaves his hometown.
It's just that the years are long, the story is long, and I haven't really stayed away from that water and soil, and if anything, it's all in vain.
All of this still has to let this young man suffer by himself.
The young and the eldest left home, the true meaning of this can be regarded as intentions.
Taking out a jade plaque, Xu Song said with a smile, "If you have free time, you can come to Yuxi Mountain." ”
Shan Shuang didn't pick it up, but raised his hand to reveal a jade plate with the word Yuxi, Xu Song smiled, and took back the jade card in his hand.
The two of them looked up at the sky silently, their hands tangled, and finally after a long exhalation, they asked, "Miss Xu, are you okay?"
Xu Song's expression was straight, with a pale face, he was worried for the first time, and his face was full of sadness.
He shook his head slightly, but did not say a word.
The hands of the single and double were clenched very tightly, but the face that was finally ruddy was a little more white.
Xu Song naturally also noticed the strangeness of the single and double, opened his mouth, but still couldn't say half a sentence.
Xu Song walked quietly, and both of them stayed awake all night.
It's not like an ordinary wanderer, thinking about tomorrow's ups and downs and destined for a glorious future. In one eye, it is the bits and pieces in this courtyard, the interlacing of figures.
At most, it's still the mother-in-law.
It was that winter day that my mother-in-law sold the old house in the center of the town, and came to this yard step by step with a rickety back and a seriously ill single and double on her back.
In my memory, this courtyard is deserted and dilapidated, even the gate is a rotten wooden plank, not to mention the windy windows and leaky roof.
It's just that my mother-in-law is a diligent person after all, and the yard has not been rich in those years, but it is still stable.
The bookkeeper taught him knowledge, the teacher taught him etiquette and truth, and his mother-in-law taught him how to live and how to live better.
It can't be said that who is more important than whom, for both Shan and Shuang, it is the support for him to survive in the world.
After spending the night in the courtyard, Shan Shuang always thought about something that he didn't have.
Thinking about the good of my mother-in-law, thinking about how Heiwa is, and thinking about the teacher's last wish......
As soon as the morning dawned, Shan Shuang took his piggy bank.
So, the first piggy bank in Shan Shuang's life was shattered.
I went to the old courtyard, and it was still quiet inside. I heard that the owner of the courtyard was also affected by the lively scene in Dilonggou.
knocked on the door, but never saw anyone open it. shouted, and no one in the house answered.
Shan Shuang could only turn around and prepare to leave, but just about to turn the corner, he saw a group of big men wrapped in cotton robes going straight to the old courtyard.
Knocking on the door, no one answered.
It's just that this group of big men is not like a single or double, so they stopped, they were angry, and in the midst of scolding, they actually slammed the door directly and entered, and the bees chrysalis entered.
In just a moment, the cry of a child was heard in the courtyard.
Glancing around, Shan Shuang finally sighed.
The gate is unobstructed.
In the courtyard, it is not a familiar road, but it can be regarded as a deep impression. Without taking a detour, I saw a boy with red hands frozen outside the main room, looking fearfully at the rows of fierce debt collectors in front of him.
The boy was guarded by a delicate woman with a scarlet yellow complexion. Even if there is no ruddy, it still vaguely reveals that good grace, thinking about it, if you can be a little stable, you are a good beauty.
The big man who took the lead is not a stranger to single and double. In fact, it can be regarded as an old acquaintance of single and double, Chen Haoyang, the small creditor of Longgou in this place, who is nicknamed "Huangpizi." ”
is said to be Chen Haoyang's careful calculation, a copper, in his hands, in less than half a month's effort, can be divided into two, or three, or even a million profits.
The death of her mother-in-law that year was more or less due to Chen Haoyang's account.
Standing behind the crowd, no one noticed.
One winter, Singshuang still went up. After practicing boxing, it is not like the previous group of chickens that stand out when the wind blows, and they are so conspicuous at all times.
Standing behind the crowd, if you are not careful, you can't see anything wrong.
The yellow-skinned Chen Haoyang wore that standard hypocritical smile, his fat face really didn't show any malice, and he said softly, "Feng Nian, I said it was a good year ago." I looked at the face of the Gale brothers at the beginning, and I gave you grace until the end of the year. Today, if I can't take it out, I don't care, these brothers behind me will have to eat. ”
A group of people behind him echoed, as for whether they were really anxious in their hearts, that was another story.
The woman kept the child behind her, and no matter how much she regretted the loan, she could only beg with her head, "Can you give me two more days, and when I sell this yard, I will definitely pay back the money." ”
Huang Pizi still smiled, "Feng Nian, don't say I don't take care of you." To tell you the truth, Master Liu in your yard has already said hello, and no one in the town dares to buy it. If you see a good thing, you will accept it, from Master Liu, not to mention big fish and meat, no one will bother you in your yard. ”
The woman didn't speak, she just held the child, and her tears were a little uncontrollable.
Huang Pizi also sighed lightly and continued, "Why bother? Brother Gale is deceased, you are a woman, and you always have to find a backer. Old man Liu's power, it is not a problem to protect your cloth for the rest of your life. If you really want to get along with Old Man Liu, you don't want to live yourself, you always have to give your child a way to live. ”
Bitter mouth, face kind words comforting.
If you are not familiar with people, I am really afraid that I think this yellow-skinned man is kind and good in everything.
The woman cried for a long time before she prayed again, "Brother Chen, Dafeng also worked with you for a period of time before his death, so you can help me, and it will be good for a few days." ”
Huang Pizi finally restrained his smile, and suddenly became ruthless, "Feng Nian, it is natural to repay debts." If you can't come up with the money today, you can use this courtyard to pay, and you can only ask the brothers to invite you to the old temple outside the town. ”
The woman was even more sobbing for a while, but the child stuck out his head and said timidly, "We owe you twenty dollars, and if you count the interest, it will be eighty dollars, and this courtyard is worth five taels of silver. ”
Huang Pizi couldn't help laughing again, and as for the big man behind him, he laughed even more.
Singshuang sighed, the prestige of the yellow skin, where do the children understand, this yard has long been in their pocket, but it is just a matter of time or time.
Slowly stepped forward, behind the yellow skin in the aisle, and said, "I want to buy this yard." ”
Chen Haoyang immediately turned around, and when he heard it, he was already a little angry.
Seeing that the person who came was dressed in sackcloth, that is, the wolf vest was worth some money, but unfortunately the craftsmanship was poor and ruthless, and he suddenly had a bottom in his heart, and said angrily, "Where did you come from? You can afford this yard, can you live in a stable place?"
The attendant on the side hurriedly pulled the yellow skin and said a few words in his ear, and for a while, everyone actually had a trace of fear in their expressions.
Naturally, it's not because of the dispensable singles and doubles, and the unreasonable black man in the town.
The people present, except for the few new people, have been carefully taken care of by Heiwa. Thinking of the tragedy of that year, most of them have goosebumps.
From then on, in the easternmost part of the town, the old woman's debt was written off.
I heard that a few days ago, the black man was in the mountains and forests west of the town, and he had a hot fight with a foreign fairy.
Only the tall black man, the stranger, who has not been seen since, only came back.
Huang Pizi is more or less a cronie of Master Liu, he knows a lot of official and family affairs, and he can suppress the people's grievances with a thorough heart, but he doesn't know anything about it.
I only know that the black man is still running around the town, and the black man has never had this cognition.
Those who can do it will never solve it with their mouths.
If it was in the past, if you ran into that conspicuous single and double, not to mention a detour, you wouldn't have taken a second look.
But Huang Pizi knows that in recent days, the black man has gone far away. Dilonggou is really out, either he doesn't come back, or he lacks arms and legs.
After a few hesitations, he still said strongly, "Shan Shuang, your mother-in-law's account, I will completely settle it for you, don't be troublesome!"
Shan Shuang said with a smile, "Why do you have to say so much, serious business is justified." ”
Huang Pizi frowned, quietly shook his hand behind him, and two bald young men walked up.
It's just that as soon as the single and double fists were opened, the two of them retreated again, and Huang Pizi also smiled, "Brother Shan said yes, and today I will give Brother Shan a face." It's just that they owe me ninety dollars?"
The boy stuck his head out again and argued, "Eighty dollars?"
Huang Pizi kindly explained, "If it was eighty yuan yesterday, but before you defaulted, didn't you ask for some liquidated damages?"
The child had the heart to argue, and Shan Shuang had already thrown out a bag. Huang Pizi saw that Qian Shuanglang remained unchanged, so he took it and turned around and left.
The woman wiped her tears and thanked, "Thank you little brother for your help, if the wind is still there, I will be very grateful." ”
Shan Shuang didn't have an enthusiastic face, mostly cold, "If Lu Dafeng is still there, I will choose to watch coldly." ”
The woman's smile suddenly froze, mostly sad.
As for the child, I'm afraid he was quite confused, and maybe a little angry. The good and bad in the world really can't be explained in a single word.
Shan Shuang took out some silver taels, and he couldn't say that he was his own belongings. Most of the money that Mr. Bookkeeper has saved over the years, and in the future, he will have to pay it back to Mr.
"This is the remaining silver taels, and from this day onwards, this courtyard will be mine. ”
But the cowardly boy was furious, and cried out, "What is the difference between you and the bandits?"
Shan Shuang didn't speak, a lot of words, it's really not suitable to talk to such a big child.
But the woman took the money, but she would not accept it. It's not that I don't want to sell, but I still have some conscience in my heart.
In the mother-in-law's yard, Huang Pizi is responsible, but Lu Dafeng is the mastermind.
It's just that this child, after all, depends on her alone.
The woman pulled the boy behind her and said, "Can you give me two more days to move out as soon as I find a place to live?" ”
They looked at the old home, and then at the woman's child. In the expectant gaze, he slowly shook his head and said firmly, "This yard can only be left to my mother-in-law." ”
The disappointment in the woman's eyes was hard to hide, and the child's face was even more angry.
Shan Shuang didn't really care about this, but said, "If you don't have a place to live, the courtyard on the east side of my town is quite quiet." I won't sell the yard, but I'll rent it to you. Fifty dollars a year, okay?"
The woman nodded her head again and again, as she wished.
Shan Shuang said, "There is another deal, in the future, every festival, you will clean up this yard, fifty yuan a year, can you agree?"
The woman had no reason to refuse, but asked with some confusion, "The single brother is going far away?"
Shan and Shuang did not answer because it was not necessary. He just waved his hand and told the woman to clean up.
As for the child, I'm afraid it's indispensable to the anger in my heart. After all, this courtyard is really about to reach the right time, more than five taels of silver, enough for the two of them to find a good place to settle down.
When the woman went down, she went into the main room, and took out from her bosom the spotless tablet that he had polished.
Memories of both odds and shuang, although most of them are in the dilapidated yard on the east side of town. But mother-in-law, most of the memories of her life are in this courtyard.
Put the tablet in the main room, and scan the room inside and out. Mother-in-law, but I like to be clean.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are actually a lot of new atmospheres. Shan Shuang was in a bit of a trance yesterday, so he could only buy two couplets today.
Sticking to both sides of the gate of the old courtyard, he sat on the threshold of neither high nor low and looked at the pedestrians on the street for a long time.
One is that Shan Shuang really likes this situation, it is not prosperous, but it is stable.
As for the second, it is to let the villagers see that this yard has changed owners.
Near noon, Shan Shuang cooked a meal of potato stewed pork ribs. It's in the old courtyard, on the old stove.
Shan Shuang remembered that her mother-in-law always said that the old stove in the old courtyard was fragrant.
In the first winter of Shan Shuang's visit to the old home, my mother-in-law boiled potato stewed pork ribs for Shan Shuang for the New Year, which was the first time Shan Shuang smelled the pork ribs and drank the pork rib soup.
After cooking the things, I took half of them away and went to my mother-in-law's grave.
After so many years, my mother-in-law smelled the old stove in the old courtyard again.
When they came back, the mother and son were gone, and the ribs in the pot were a little missing.
Shan Shuang ate some on this stove, and then went to the official mansion that everyone feared in Dilonggou.
It's always uneasy to just walk like this. Mother-in-law's tablet must always be placed in the courtyard safely.
For this reason, it is inevitable that the single and double foxes will fake the tiger once, and they owe Yuxi Mountain a love.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the boy rode a donkey and wore a fur vest, leaving a row of donkey footprints on the snow-white earth.
At the dragon place of the dragon ditch, the boy got off the donkey and hit a Wang Ba fist and snail step, that punch, the snowflakes were scattered all over the sky, and the snow was broken in one winter and one season!
When the boy got on the donkey, he finally smiled, stepped on the donkey, and was full of ambition.
It's just that the donkey's bark is not very high-pitched, and it has turned into a partial limp.
The boy patted the donkey and blamed it for ruining his magnificent image.
