The village chief finished Niu Er's work, turned around and walked to the table. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Niu Er asked at the village chief:
"Village Chief, where do I have to run?"
Don't look at Niu Er's big age, he is not young, but he has never been far away.
The farthest trip was over the hill outside the village and went to Houtou Village.
There is a Ma Langzhong in the back village, and there is a girl in the Ma Lang, who is good-looking.
Niu Er liked it after seeing it once, and couldn't help but miss it and went to Houtou Village. But when he arrived at the entrance of the village, he was too timid to continue to go inside.
Niu Er asked the village chief where he should run. The village chief turned to look at Niu Er, and he couldn't make up his mind.
The village chief was in a dilemma, and the village chief's mother-in-law came over and said to the village chief:
"Go eat it, it'll be cold in a while. ”
Then he said to Niu Er:
"You kid, you can still ask where your uncle is fleeing. If your uncle shows you the way, will it be considered connivance at the fugitives? But if your uncle doesn't say it, it seems to be too ruthless. Didn't you make your uncle not a man inside and out? If I were you, I would hurry out of the village and go in any direction. When others ask, you can't say that you are from Qiantou Village. Not to mention that the people in the village ganged up to eat the ploughing cattle!"
I just want to go.
Niu Er looked at the village chief's mother-in-law.
But I'll have to ask for directions before I go.
I left the village and walked out with my head down. What if I hit my head into the yamen of the county government?
The village chief's mother-in-law blocked Niu Er, and the village chief had already sat back at the table, reaching out to pick up the beef in the pottery bowl and nibble on it.
After saying that, the village chief's mother-in-law turned her head and left.
Niu Er looked at the villagers on the drying field, picked up his burden and walked out.
didn't take a few steps, but he was grabbed by Grandpa Wu and dragged to the back of the grain hoard.
Grandpa Wu then fumbled for something out of his arms and stuffed it into the cow's second-hand hand.
It's a beef rib with meat on it.
The ribs of the cow that had just been fished out of the hot pot were still steaming, and the stubble at one end was oozing blood foam that had not been boiled through.
It's still Grandpa Wu who is good to me!
Niu Er grabbed the cow rib, and if he didn't hold back, his eyes turned red.
Grandpa Wu was as nervous as a thief, he kept looking to both sides, helped Niu Er wrap the beef ribs into the baggage, and kept saying:
"Put it away, put it away, don't let anyone see it. When you see it, you can't help it. ”
Although he is old, Grandpa Wu's body is straight.
During the day, he will bask in the sun in front of the ancestral hall with the elders of the village.
When Grandpa Wu was sober, he would also talk about various things when he was young. Or the customs of the nearby state capital.
It's just that Grandpa Wu is awake less and less.
Grandpa Wu wrapped the ribs of Niu Er into Niu Er's burden, Niu Er took Grandpa Wu's hand and couldn't help but say:
"Grandpa Wu, I'm leaving, you have to take care of yourself. ”
Before Niu Er's words landed, a voice came from behind the grain hoard:
"Where are you going?"
Following the sound, it was the clatter of wooden sticks hitting the ground. The seventh grandmother walked out and blocked in front of Niu Er.
Where am I going, I'm going to Houtou Village to get soy sauce!
Niu Er looked at Seventh Grandma, but he didn't dare to say what he thought in his heart.
In terms of age, Grandma Seven is the oldest in the village. In terms of seniority, the seventh grandmother is the highest seniority in the village. Even if Niu Er is asked to kneel and reply, Niu Er will not lose.
The seventh grandmother straightened up and asked Niu Er:
"Have you figured out where to go?"
Niu Er shook his head truthfully.
Seventh Grandma turned her head to look at Grandpa Wu and said:
"You have walked a lot, show the way to the second baby. ”
Grandpa Wu looked at Niu Er and asked:
"You want to go to Beijing to catch the exam?"
Niu Er looked at Grandpa Wu, not knowing why a person who was just right suddenly confused.
Grandma Seven shook her head at Grandpa Wu and said:
"The second baby doesn't know a single big word, so what kind of test. ”
Grandpa Wu shook his head and said:
"It's okay. I passed on to him all the secrets of the martial arts. Practice hard, you will definitely be able to win the first place in the world and return to the village to glorify your ancestors!"
Where is the martial arts cheats?
Niu Er pinched the burden in his hand.
Grandpa Wu, what you gave me was the ribs of the old scalper!
Grandma Seven didn't want to be confused with Grandpa Wu anymore, so she said to Niu Er:
"I heard from the merchant who sold goods that there is an Kongming Mountain in the north, and there are many Taoists who seek immortals living on the Kongming Mountain. Otherwise, you can go to Kongming Mountain. ”
Hearing Grandma Seven's words, Grandpa Wu suddenly laughed again and said:
"The second baby is a cattle herder, and he doesn't know a big character, so you let him go to learn immortals?"
"Shut up!"
The seventh grandmother impatiently rushed at the wooden stick in Grandpa Wu's hand, and the pestle sounded on the ground. Then he said to Niu Er:
"Whether you can cultivate immortals or not depends on whether you have a spiritual root. Whether you can have the guidance of immortals depends on whether you have that opportunity. Even if you have the guidance of an immortal master, if you want to achieve positive results, you still have to look at your own creation. Let you go to Kongming Mountain, because Kongming Mountain is a place to ask for immortals, and people from the government never dare to go there to make times. After entering Kongming Mountain, let alone killing the ploughing cattle in the village, even if he killed the official in the street, no one would pursue it anymore. ”
Kongming Mountain?
Niu Er suddenly remembered that the person who walked out from behind the hillside, the guy who was struck by lightning, also thought that Niu Er had inquired about Kongming Mountain.
Niu Er asked:
"Seventh Grandma, how should I get to Kongming Mountain?"
Seventh Grandma turned her head to look at Grandpa Wu.
Grandpa Wu was an official when he was young, and he traveled all over the nearby state capitals, counties and towns.
The seventh grandmother looked at Grandpa Wu, of course, and asked him to point out the road to Kongming Mountain to Niu Er.
Grandpa Wu looked at Niu Er and said:
"Where's my beef bone? I just fished a beef bone out of the pot, why is it gone before I eat it?"
The seventh grandmother shook her head, pulled Niu Er to the entrance of the village, and said:
"In short, when you leave the village, you will go north, when will you come to a big river......"
Speaking of this, Seventh Grandma suddenly stopped, staring at the direction of the entrance of the village with a pair of eyes, and a light flashed in her eyes.
Niu Er followed the eyes of the seventh grandmother, and the direction of the village entrance was dark, and he couldn't see anything.
Niu Er shouted softly:
"Seventh Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
The seventh grandmother came back to her senses with a sigh, glanced at Niu Er, and then said:
"That big river is called Qingjiang. You cross the river, and then go and inquire about how to go to Kongming Mountain. ”
Niu Er nodded.
The seventh grandmother said to herself again:
"It takes four or five days to get to Qingjiang. ”
As she spoke, the seventh grandmother plucked the hairpin on her head and handed it to Niu Er.
"Take this with you, the cooking guy is cut off on the road, and you can change to a corn nest to eat. ”
That hairpin, the seventh grandmother has taken it all her life, and she has never seen her take it off.
Niu Er held the hairpin, his eyes were red, and tears came out of his eyes.
Seventh Grandma glanced at Niu Er and said:
"Don't cry. Boy, blood does not shed tears. ”
Niu Er nodded and reached out to wipe his tears.
Grandma Seven said again:
"If you really mix it up outside, take a look back at the village. At that time, if the seventh grandmother is here, she will go to my grave to burn a piece of paper, and I will be worried about it. ”
Niu Er nodded, gritting his teeth hard to prevent tears from flowing down again.
The seventh grandmother walked back with a wooden stick and a clatter. As he walked, he muttered to himself, "Blessings, blessings, disasters, and deaths, each of them is created." ”
