Chapter 19: What's New
If the weather is hot and no fish are caught, Du Shenfei will strip naked, run to the river to swim, splash water and frolic to entertain himself. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but until one day after experiencing an incident, I no longer dare to go into the depths of that river.
On that day, as usual, he came to the river, lying on a dead log, looking at the depths of the river and floating, suddenly, only to feel that something suddenly under the water dragged his feet, it turned out to be a water monkey, saw someone coming, caught and dragged under the water. Du Shenfei struggled with all his strength, but he couldn't break free from that terrible clutche. The water monkey stuffed mud into his mouth.
When he was in danger, he suddenly reached out from the side, grabbed his arm, lifted him up, and threw him heavily on the beach.
Du Shenfei didn't know what was going on, he only knew that he drank a big belly of muddy water, and there was mud in his mouth, nostrils, ears, and hair. Even the "dripping bead" worn around the neck is gone, thinking that it was hooked by the grass and trees in the river. Du Shenfei washed the mud off his body by the river, and when he looked at the old man fishing again, he was gone, he must have gone home, but the stone he was sitting on was drenched in water, and he didn't know why it was so wet?
Every time she saw Du Shenfei coming back with a fish, Shi Luoyi would feel very happy, but she was very worried that he would go to the river to play. As long as the child wants to go to the river, she will think of the words of Prime Minister Li Zhu. Then it occurred to her that worrying was like a curse. If a parent is constantly worried about their child, the child's blessing will be consumed by the parent's worry. If parents want their children to be well, they should bless them more than worry. Moreover, if life and death are fateful, how can they avoid it? If they can't avoid it, why worry?
As soon as she thought of this, Shi Luoyi was relieved.
She saw Du Shenfei coming back with a bucket again, and saw him overjoyed, and hurriedly ran over and said, "Auntie, I caught fish by myself today, and I caught two." ”
Du Shenfei dumped the fish in the bucket into a wooden basin filled with clean water. Shi Luo saw it, and sure enough, there were two fish, one big and one small, the big one was more than a catty, and the small one was not much bigger than a tadpole.
Shi Luoyi said: "You are so good, catch such a big fish, and there are so many, go and ask my brother to make fish for you to eat, okay?"
Du Shenfei immediately responded: "Okay! I'll go." "He Fei also seems to be coming to Xie Youlong's house.
From afar, I only heard Xie Youlong reciting aloud in the room: "Zhong Ni said: 'The gentleman is moderate, the villain is anti-modest, the gentleman is mean, the gentleman is the mean, the gentleman is in the middle, the villain is the mean, and the villain is unscrupulous......
Du Shenfei didn't care about him, and shouted outside: "Brother, come and make fish, I have two fish, and I caught two fish." ”
Xie Youlong walked out with a smile and asked, "Little goldfish, who gave you the fish?"
Du Shenfei said: "I fished it myself." ”
Xie Youlong's eyes widened and he said, "Really?"
Du Shenfei said: "It's true, I caught two." ”
Xie Youlong said: "Okay, it's so powerful! Brother will make fried fish for you to eat today, okay?"
Du Shenfei said: "Okay, I like to eat fried fish." ”
This time, Xie Youlong brought a jar of tea oil and a bag of rice.
Shi Luoyi felt very unhappy, and after the meal, she took a silver ingot and handed it to Xie Youlong. Xie Youlong didn't answer, and left laughing.
Du Shenfei felt that there were really a lot of new things in this place, for example, once he saw Xie Youlong walking to a protruding cobblestone under the cliff, and suddenly shouted "water" at the stone, which startled himself, but in a round hole the size of an egg on the cobblestone, "goo dong goo dong" really came out of the water. Xie Youlong lay on it and drank it heartily. Du Shenfei's eyes widened in surprise, he felt that it was amazing, he also secretly tried it, it turned out that he could also shout out water. He even found that not only shouting "water" would produce water, but also shouting other words would also produce water, as long as he approached the stone and shouted. Even later, Du Shenfei felt that it was not very good to lie on the stone and drink, so he deliberately made a bamboo pipe to connect it to it, so that it was much more convenient, and he could drink water while standing. The water is clear and sweet, and it is very delicious. He called this "shouting to the well."
There is another place that is even more magical, and the reason why I think it is even more amazing is because he was the first to discover this place. This magical place is in your own home, just go up to the second floor, through the cave hall, through the passageway, and then across the warm stream, it looks very dark inside, but there is a narrow passageway, and you can still pass people. Just walk about a hundred steps and you'll be at the end of the cave. When he first arrived here, he was also startled, far away, only felt that the air inside was pressing, freezing through the bone marrow, and when he walked in a little, he saw that the silver light was shining inside, and he didn't know what it was. If you look closely, it turns out to be a huge ice cave. This ice cave drips into ice, which is extremely cold to the bone, and is full of ice picks in all directions. Later, Shi Luoyi often refrigerated the meat that could not be eaten and was easy to spoil in this ice cave.
But what surprised Du Shenfei even more was that several times, he was on the edge of the valley where there were many fierce beasts, and saw a woman like a fairy in the sky, flying from the other side of the deep valley, fluttering in white clothes, and flew straight to this cliff. He thought that one day, when he grew up, he would have to climb up to this cliff to find the "fairy" and let her teach him to fly in the air.
That Taoist leader can also fly, but not as high as the "fairy" flying. When the chief had to cross the deep valley, he had to jump from the rocky wall to the bottom of the valley, and then to the other side of the valley, and then jump up from the bottom of the valley.
What made Du Shen Fei wonder was why the fierce tigers and wolves below didn't go to catch the childless Dao Master?
Later, the childless Taoist chief told him, "The tigers and wolves below are afraid of me, because I will beat them." ”
Du Chengfei thought that he also had to learn martial arts, so that the tiger would be afraid of himself.
Spring goes to autumn, the cold and the summer are long, and Du Shenfei is eight years old in a blink of an eye.
The childless Taoist is really a good person, and in the past few years, the rice and oil that Shi Luoyi's family needs have been transported with the help of the Taoist.
Shi Luoyi was very grateful, and later took the initiative to tell the Taoist chief and Xie Youlong that she was willing to take the responsibility of cooking for them to thank them for taking care of her.
The chief still laughed heartily, patted his belly and said: "The seven-foot stubborn body walks the world, and the ten-foot belly is innocent." There is nothing in this hollow, let alone two or three people. ”
But this time, the old man readily agreed, so they usually eat together.
Shi Luoyi used the square and flat granite under the pine tree at the door as a table. When the weather is nice, you only need to set up four benches. In this way, sometimes four people, sometimes three people, sat under the lush ancient pines, under the trees of the day, riding in the shade, and looking up at the moon at night, enjoying themselves.
Xie Youlong sometimes sings poems when he is in the mood. Although Shi Luoyi taught Du Shenfei to read and write when he was fine, he still couldn't understand the poems chanted by Xie Youlong.
Xie Youlong's handwriting is also very good, the pen is strong, thick and rough. Once he found two pieces of red paper, and inscribed a couplet of poems, which he gave to Du Shenfei, writing, "The water flows to the edge of the stone and is cold, and the wind comes from the flowers." Du Shenfei used rice to stick this couplet on the door.
Du Shenfei was already very familiar with every corner of his homeland, but he had never dared to look at the deep valley below, firstly, because Shi Luo was tightly controlled, and secondly, he himself was afraid of facing such a vicious beast. But he was very curious about the world on the other side of the deep valley, and he really wanted to go and see it, so every time he saw the Taoist, he would repeatedly ask what was the place on the other side? He asked what the Great Wall was like, and the Taoist said it was a place with a lot of people, a lot of houses, and a lot of shops. He thinks that the world should be beautiful, and hopes that he will grow up soon and experience the world of flowers outside.
