Bamboo horse, bamboo horse, cheating and fraud

However, when I was very young, I often heard from my father that there is a place tens of thousands of feet below the soles of the feet that does not see the sun, called the underworld, and there is a book of life and death in it.Before a person is born, everything is preordained. When and how you die is up to you.

I didn't believe it at first.

It wasn't until three o'clock that night, when my door was knocked open, and a person staggered in, that I suddenly believed it.

The man was like a reed in the wind, holding the case tremblingly, covered his mouth and coughed twice, and a bright red peony bloomed at the neckline.Then he grinned again, and smiled sadly.

It was so red that it was shocking. Without saying a word, I picked up the man on my back and ran towards the river.

The moonlight that night was extremely cold, and the surrounding people were already asleep, and there were occasional cicadas in the corner.

"It's not a loss to see you so nervous!" Every time the person on the back uttered a word, his breath became weaker, but he still didn't forget to make a few jokes at the critical moment.

"Remember that you haven't finished your wine yet, I'll prepare it for you! The best monkey brew, don't fucking waste my money!" I said viciously, as if I wanted to swallow the person on my back alive.

The man didn't answer, just smiled lowly.

My back was hurt by his bony bones, and I changed the handle, but the man on my back saw through my thoughts: "You've had a good life these days, and you've grown a lot of flesh!"

I knew he was mocking himself again: "It's obvious that you have lost some weight!"

I remember that when he was young, he was also skinny and weak.

In fact, at that time, every family had a meal without a meal, and they could have a few catties of meat on their bodies.Even though time has changed, more than ten years have passed, and I still eat and sleep in the open day and night, and I have suffered a serious illness. How can I grow meat.But compared with him, it really pales in comparison.

"Call me 'Xiao Shun', I haven't heard you call it for more than ten years, and I won't hear it from now on!"

The person on the back suddenly changed his tone, infinitely nostalgic, yet infinitely sad

"En...Xiao Shun! When you are well, I can listen to it as many times as I want!"

"Just once, the name 'Xiaoshun' is called out of the tongue, but it takes up all the luck that should be and shouldn't be in the hit. You understand these things better than me, so it's better to call it 'Ji Tan'." !"

"..."

"When I was young, no matter what people called me, I could bear it. They said I was dirty, that I was 'born of a bitch', that I was 'born with a mother', I could bear it, because they really I was not wronged, only once, they said that I kissed you just took you for a fool, and everything I treated you was hypocrisy. That was the only time I refuted, although the result was worse than before, I was stripped naked I took off my trousers and hung it on a tree, and it rained heavily..."

"Stop talking, save some effort, you'll be at the riverside soon, and there will be a doctor by the riverside!" I finally couldn't bear to listen any longer, so I interrupted with a sob.

"It's useless, Xu Zifang. Sometimes you have to admit that life is such a thing. I, Ji Tan, have done a lot of evil in my life, and I have made countless enemies. I am satisfied if I am not buried in other people's hands! Man, anyway, it is only a lifetime, how much?" Then three or 40 years, but it’s still more suffering!”

"That's enough Ji Tan, let me tell you, don't think that I will shed a few tears for you just because you say that. I, Xu Zifang, am not your grandson!"

Before he finished speaking, the tears had already flowed down.

"Zifang, I want to go back! This winter is so cold, it must be snowing in the village!"

It was a fiery day in July, but I only felt as cold as the cold winter of that year.

"We'll go back when you're better! Go see the snow in the small valley!"

He smiled softly, his voice became more and more angry, and finally scattered into the thick night with the wind: "Zi Fang, the plum blossoms in the back mountain are blooming, I will take you to pick plum blossoms!"

I vaguely remember him saying the same thing when he was a kid.

I grew up in a small village in Qinggou in the south, I am seven or eight years old, and I haven't seen snow once.That winter, the weather was surprisingly cold, and a few flakes of snow fluttered in succession.The rarity of that snow is definitely no less than that night pearl enshrined by the landlord's parents at the entrance of the village for many years.

The difference is that no one has known for many years whether the Ye Mingzhu is real or not, but this snow is real.It flutters down and melts in the hand, bringing along a few chills and children's laughter by the way.

I stood between the capped world and looked at this strange picture.

However, it didn't take long for my eyes to be attracted by another thing, even though I knew it belonged to another world.

Xiao Shun, who was standing by the side, remained calm and had a panoramic view of everything.

The next day, I saw a padded jacket embroidered with dark patterns in front of my house. After careful observation, it was not difficult to find a jagged figure hiding far away at the corner of the street and a face with a bruised nose and a swollen face waiting for prying eyes.

I put the cotton jacket over my single clothes, the length was just right, but it was empty.I have to admit that after all, I really lack a bit of extravagance, and even the clothes don't look good.

Suddenly there was a commotion in the distance, and the youngest son of the landlord's family led a group of children and hurriedly approached.

"Hey, little shabby ghost, have you seen my padded jacket!" He asked arrogantly, not even giving him a single glance.

My heart beat violently: "No...no..." But then changed the topic, "Maybe I saw it!"

After finishing speaking, he ran into the house and took the cotton coat.

"Why is it with you?" The little landlord raised his eyebrows.

"I picked it up!" I said this with confidence.

"That brat Xiaoshun, who has a heart but no guts, didn't dare to wear it after stealing it, so he just threw it away! How stupid!" A group of people sneered and walked away.

Only then did Xiao Shun come out from the corner.

"You, since you want it, why don't you keep it!"

His tone was full of helplessness, but not the sullenness I imagined. "But anyway, I didn't expect you to not wear clothes!"

Normally, I, who was a weird person, only dared to stretch out a hand timidly at this moment, and tugged at the corner of the boy's clothes in front of me.

Xiaoshun slapped his little hand off in disgust, then took out a jade pendant from his pocket and stuffed it into my hand, his eyes were narrowed: "Forget it, I expected it! How could this hero know that?" It's a stick for nothing!"

That day he clearly saw that I was standing alone in the snow, my burning eyes couldn't be separated from a warm jade pendant hanging on the waist of the little landlord for a long time.

He sneered: "When will you learn to be smarter! Well, Zifang, the plum blossoms in the back mountain are blooming, so I will take you to pick plum blossoms!"

I stopped, and the hands on my shoulders finally hung down slowly.

The surface of the river not far away was sparkling with microwaves.The river flows round and round,

It is smoky and spotless, and the fishing fire flickers on and off at a few points.

The moonlight that day was so light, so light, spread on the bluestone slabs by the river, just like the frost flowers formed on the eaves in the early winter of that year.
