Chapter 15: Ancestral Relic
"Oh, by the way, I haven't asked you yet, how do you know that we are going to the city?" Li Lanfang asked Han Tuo. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Han Tuo shook his head and said, "I'm a clever plan, and I have a good heart!"
"Phew, be serious!" Li Lanfang knew that Han Tuo's two hundred and five strength was about to come up, so she screwed him hard in the back.
Han Tuo inhaled cold air in pain and shouted, "You can't do it lightly, it's really vicious......
"What nonsense......" said Li Lanfang and wanted to stretch out her jade finger again.
Frightened, Han Tuo hurriedly begged for mercy: "Don't, I'm afraid of you, that's the case, I went to your house in the morning, you both disappeared, and you didn't go to the backyard to find it, your father said that you might go to petition, so we chased it out in two ways, your father chased the road in the town, and I chased the direction of the county seat, no, I caught up with you two, oh, I forgot to ask just now, why did you two go back again......?"
Li Lanfang said with a smile: "The matter is settled, just now Wan Da Cao and Wan Baoliang stopped us and promised to give Yunfei the disaster relief money." ”
"Wan Guts' subdued softened, it can't be that you haven't held back a good fart, right? Han Tuo's face was full of surprise, he didn't believe that Wan Dan Cao would be soft, what kind of person was Wan Dan Cao? Not only was his heart black, his brain was also good, and he was the village party secretary, how could he easily spit out the fat that he ate into his stomach.
As for how to prevent it, Han Tuo just said it casually, and there was no score in his heart.
Zhao Yunfei snorted coldly and said: "They are nothing more than beating people and smashing glass, what else can they do? ”
Li Lanfang listened to Zhao Yunfei's words, and her emotions also came up, and she said: "Yes, if you dare to bully people, we will fight with them!"
The corners of Zhao Yunfei's mouth curled slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said, "I'll just deal with them alone, don't get involved with the two of you." ”
Han Tuo said loudly: "How can that happen? Xiaofang and I must not watch you being bullied, even if you can't beat them, we have to spit on their faces......
Zhao Yunfei patted Han Tuo's shoulder from behind, for Zhao Yunfei, Han Tuo's words were enough.
"Oh, by the way, there is still a month to go to the Wulong Mountain Temple Fair, this year we have also reached the age of participating in the Five Dragons Competition, I can't do it at these two moments, why don't you sign up to try? Han Tuo said.
Wulongshan temple fair is an annual traditional temple fair in five villages of East Longquan Village, West Longquan Village, North Longquan Village, Tajing Village and Zhenlongsi Village in Wulongshan area, the temple fair date is the eighth day of August of the lunar calendar every year, and the temple fair gathering place is located at the foot of the mountain near Zhenlongsi Village in Wulongshan.
The "Battle of the Five Dragons" is a traditional competitive folk activity at the temple fair, in which four young people from each village participate in three competitions – wrestling, archery and touching heights.
Wrestling and archery are easy to understand, and touching the height is unique to the Five Dragons Competition.
There is a smooth stone wall that is 15 meters high and nearly 30 meters long in the Wulongshan temple fair, this stone wall is regular, smooth as a mirror, like a ghostly workmanship, the contestants have cinnabar on their hands, and strive to rush up the stone wall, and the cinnabar on their hands is smeared on the stone wall, and whoever wipes the highest wins.
Of course, the final winner has to combine the three results, and the first place in the three comprehensive results is called "Golden Dragon", the second is called "Silver Dragon", the third is called "Green Dragon", the fourth is called "Ink Dragon", and the fifth is called "Gray Dragon".
"Five Dragons Competition" is a martial arts competition, as well as a duet song competition, is for the Wenbi, the contestants are young girls from five villages, called "Five Phoenix Contention", their repertoire must be written by themselves, the winner and "Five Dragons Competition" are the same, in addition to bonuses and physical rewards, you can also get five honorary titles, namely: Golden Phoenix, Silver Phoenix, Green Phoenix, Ink Phoenix and Gray Phoenix.
There is an age limit for participating in the temple fair, and all young people between the ages of 12 and 22 in these five villages are eligible to participate.
The Five Dragons Contest is one of the most important activities of the Wulong Mountain Temple Fair, quite historical, the old people in the village can't tell how many years, some old people say, how many years there are in Wulong Mountain, how many years this temple fair and competition - of course, this is a superstitious statement of the old people, there is no scientific basis.
In short, this Wulongshan temple fair is the most lively gathering of the year in the Wulongshan area.
......
The three of them entered the village and returned directly to Li Lanfang's house, Li Zhong chased the road to the town, naturally he couldn't catch up, he had come back at this time, and he was sitting in the house with his wife worrying about them, and they were all relieved to see that the three of them came back safe and sound.
Zhao Yunfei and the three of them entered the house, Li Lanfang was like a little bird, chirping, even talking and gesizing, and told Wan Dancao and his second son in detail about intercepting them, with a look of victory on her face.
For the honest Li Zhong, it is worth celebrating that he did not make a big disaster this time, and he did not blame Zhao Yunfei and Li Lanfang too much, and told Aunt Li to prepare lunch and let Han Tuo stay to eat, Li Lanfang ran to the backyard and picked up Xiao Ji as well.
After Zhao Yunfei made such a fuss, many villagers who had been bullied by the village cadres secretly felt relieved, so many years only the village party secretary Wan dared to bully people and go to other people's houses to make trouble, who dared to go to his house to make trouble, I didn't expect that the young Zhao Yunfei not only kicked over the wine table of Wan Dan Cao's house in front of the town leaders this time, beat Wan Dan Cao and his second son, but also blinded Wan Dan Cao's Tibetan mastiff in one eye, and made Wan Dan Cao's family upside down, and finally forced Wan Dan Cao to agree to give disaster relief funds, which is really happy.
Relieving hatred is relieving hatred, but they are also a little worried about Zhao Yunfei, and everyone knows in their hearts that Wan Da Cao will not just give up, and will inevitably find an opportunity to retaliate.
Knowing that Zhao Yunfei was bitten by a Tibetan mastiff, the neighbors quietly came to Zhao Yunfei's house to visit, but they were not empty-handed, some held more than a dozen firewood eggs, and some left five or ten yuan, and when Zhao Yunfei returned to his house after lunch at Li Lanfang's house, the ceramic basin and washbasin used for the family and noodles had been filled with eggs.
At night, Xiao Ji fell asleep with the small radio, Zhao Yunfei gently took out the radio from Xiao Ji's little hand and turned it off, the fire rope of the smoked mosquitoes had been lit, and the smell similar to sandalwood was permeated in the house, and the round table placed in the room had already been wiped clean, but the yellow paint on the table had almost fallen off, and it looked mottled.
Zhao Yunfei took out his private notebook and a ballpoint pen, sat at the round table and was silent for a moment, feeling something, and wrote down the following words:
Life is full of tribulations,
The heart is as strong as iron.
Rather suffer,
Don't let the morale be broken.
......
After Zhao Yunfei finished writing, he read it softly twice and felt very satisfied, and then wrote the year, month and day in the lower right corner and closed the book.
The weather was a bit muggy, and there was a faint sound of thunder outside, and it looked like it was going to rain.
Zhao Yunfei got up and walked out of the house, Xiao Hei was lying by the door, and when he saw Zhao Yunfei coming out, he got up and wagged his tail at Zhao Yunfei.
Zhao Yunfei saw the shovel standing under the east wall, and walked over to take the shovel to the bottom of the eaves to avoid being rusted by the rain.
When he returned to the house, he suddenly remembered one thing, yesterday when he was fighting with the Tibetan mastiff of the gallant operator, his pants and gowns were scratched, and the strange thing was that the belt tied around his waist was not damaged at all, thinking of this, he stood up and unbuckled the belt, pulled the belt out of the waistband of his trousers, and held it in his hand to check.
This belt is much wider than the general belt, there is just a stationery ruler on the table, Zhao Yunfei took a ruler and measured it, almost less than five centimeters, just enough to pass through the pants, the leather of the belt is not thick, the material is not like cowhide, black oil, the tentacles are a little cool, and the lines look a little like fish scales.
He suddenly remembered that his father had told him on his deathbed that this belt was handed down by their ancestors and must be kept well, and then because he had no belt, he had been wearing this belt, and he was young at the time, and he didn't take it too seriously.
Zhao Yunfei held the belt with both hands and leaned under the light, and suddenly found that there was something strange at one end of the belt buckle, and he used his fingernails to pull it, it seemed to be double-layered, probably because of the age, these two layers were glued together, if it wasn't for the light to look carefully, it was really not easy to find.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Zhao Yunfei got up and took out the pencil sharpener knife from his schoolbag, pulled out the blade, carefully inserted the blade into the adhesion, and then slowly opened to both sides and depth, and the six- or seven-centimeter-long blade had been completely inserted into it, and then he knew that this belt actually had a mezzanine.
"It's just a belt for your pants, so why bother making a sandwich?"
Zhao Yunfei was secretly strange in his heart, he put his fingers into the mezzanine and touched it, feeling that the interlayer was uneven, and he knew that it was engraved with handwriting, and he broke the opening with his fingers, and looked at it under the lamp for a long time, but he couldn't see anything.
This is really difficult for him, obviously there are words engraved inside, because the opening is too small, but the handwriting is not clear at all, unless you use scissors to cut the upper layer, but in that case, this belt handed down by ancestors will not be destroyed in his own hands, and his father's last words let him keep this belt.
Zhao Yunfei walked around the house several times with the belt and didn't come up with a way to see the handwriting without destroying the belt, so in desperation, he put the belt on the table, looked at the belt and was stunned for a while, then got up and picked up the bench and came to the large wardrobe, stepped on the stool and took off the golden knife from the top of the cabinet.
Zhao Yunfei waved a few times, and suddenly the house was full of golden light, restrained his movements, rubbed the narrow blade with one hand, and silently recited the line of words engraved on the knife body: Mind the world, be honest and truthful, sacrifice life for righteousness, and be the heir of the dragon.
Zhao Yunfei couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "What a treasure knife!"
Looking at the golden knife in his hand and catching a glimpse of the belt on the table, he suddenly had an idea, picked up the knife with one hand, and picked up the belt with the other, wanting to try to insert the knife into the belt......
