forget the soul

Brother Fang rolled his eyes when he heard this, and went to the kitchen in three steps, took the two female relatives out, and led them towards the living room.When Yu Rong saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, and said to them: "No, no, you keep it, what should you do?"

Brother Xiao Fang's wife was shy, and when Yu Rong approached and spoke, her ears were so red that they were about to bleed, her chin poked her chest, and her eyes seemed to grow on the top of her head, so she had to face the person with her hair in a bun. The mother seemed to be afraid of strangers, she didn't look at Yu Rong, she turned her head to look for Brother Fang, she gestured with a finger, and didn't speak.

Yu Rong explained: "This is more lifelike."

Xiao Fang led the two women back to the kitchen and pressed them back on the two small benches. He also took out a bench and asked Yu Rong, "Director, where should I sit? Or stand?"

Yu Rong said: "Sit down, sit down." He estimated the location and directed Lin Wangyue to set up the tripod under the elm tree, while he went to the corner of the yard where the farming tools were piled up and searched.

"Director," brother Xiao Fang called him again, "shall I change clothes? Is this clothes too shabby?"

Yu Rong took out two broken boards from under the wheels of a cart, held them up high and said: "No, no, don't change, absolutely don't change!"

Lin Wangyue set up the camera and squatted under the tree to smoke. Yu Rong trotted over and glanced at the light and scenery behind the camera. Lin Wangyue chose a good angle. The gorgeous natural light was blocked by the eaves and fell on Xiao Fang's face. There is only a soft afterglow on it, which makes his appearance look gentle and approachable, and the half of the red colonnade that appeared in the photo shows a dark brown under the influence of the shadow, so as not to steal the favor of Xiao Fang's green clothes. play.Xiao Fang smiled and sat with his legs open, just like a simple farmer, born and raised in the mountains, he is a citizen of the mountains, he is a part of the mountains and water.

The two women can still be seen in the camera pickling red peppers.

Yu Rong couldn't help but looked at Lin Wangyue several times. Lin Wangyue was sitting on the ground, yawning lazily, and eating a cigarette. He realized that Yu Rong was looking at him, and shook the ashes on the ground, saying: "If I don't do design in the future Teacher, I will also be a director."

Lin Wangyue paused and said, "It's called "ADoubleMan"."

Yu Rong smiled, dug out the loose-leaf notebook from his schoolbag, turned to the page with "Bamei", put it on the ground, picked up the two wooden boards he found earlier, stretched them out in front of the camera and laid them down : "Bamei, brother Fang, this is the first time."

Brother Xiao Fang trembled, raised his neck and asked loudly: "This is the beginning, is it beginning?"

Yu Rong pointed to the camera: "Look at the camera, not at me."

Brother Xiao Fang nodded, straightened his waist, and looked at the camera, but his expression was not natural. After a while, he twitched the corners of his mouth and looked away embarrassingly, as if he was frightened.

Yu Rong comforted him and said, "Don't be nervous, just think we are chatting, it is also a friend chatting together."

Brother Xiao Fang smiled, his smile was stiff, not without embarrassment.At this time, Lin Wangyue got up, picked a leaf, put it on the camera, and said to Xiao Fang, "Look at this."

The leaves seemed to be much more friendly than the cold camera, Xiao Fang relaxed a lot, Lin Wangyue sat back again, and looked at the shooting screen seriously with his cheeks on his hands.Yu Rong cleared his throat, held his notebook, and asked, "Then let's talk about your outlook on life and death first..."

"What?" Brother Xiao Fang stretched his neck forward, his eyebrows raised and lowered, obviously not knowing why.

Lin Wangyue asked: "What do you think life means, what is being alive, to you."

Brother Xiao Fang understood, smacked his lips, and said: "To be alive, you can open your eyes in the morning, eat, sleep, work hard, make money, and beg for a wife and have children if you earn enough money." , filial piety to parents; during the Chinese New Year, the family gathers together to be lively and lively, the child likes firecrackers, let him watch, and then I will grow old. Isn’t that what people do.” As soon as he opened the chatter box, he couldn’t stop I live in the car, "I grew up in the village differently from your urbanites. You asked me to go to school to study, but I couldn't read it. I couldn't read it. I could read mountains. In the morning I saw a cloud in the east. I I knew it was going to rain at noon, and the wind was blowing, and I knew I was going to sow seeds. It made a slight sound, and I knew the wild boar was going down the mountain. The boar’s estrus season is here. Looking for a partner in the mountains; the moon is full, the rice is ripe, the river is rising, and the fields are plowing; eating a bowl of noodles in the morning makes me feel warm, and I go into the mountains to chop firewood, collect herbs, mushrooms, dig ganoderma, and smoke the wild in summer Feng, harvest tea leaves in autumn, pack walnuts in winter, everything is good in spring, wild vegetables are delicious, wild berries are also delicious, and the rice wine brewed last year can also be tasted; rice is a good thing, rice flour made from rice is used as rice Cake, the rice cake made by my mother is not mixed with glutinous rice flour, just rice flour, put some red beans, candied dates, persimmon biscuits, cut into strips and steamed together, out of the pot, smear some honey, it is really sweet to my heart , eat black goat meat in autumn, stew it in a big pot, and I can have three bowls of rice with the soup alone; you city people are particular, go to a movie or something if you have nothing to do, you said a large group of people gathered in a dark room Together, we don’t know each other, and we can’t chat, how embarrassing, what about horror movies, thrillers, some people only dare to watch through their fingers, and rush to suffer this crime, specifically looking for scares and doing don't know."

Brother Xiao Fang's mouth became dry and he licked his lips.

Yu Rong said: "So... life, life means to you that you have enough food and clothing, and maintain a living state that you are familiar with?"

"If you don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes, you will lose your life."

"So, death means losing that for you, doesn't it?"

Brother Xiao Fang said: "If I die, then my wife will become a widow, my children will lose their father, my parents will lose their children, and this family will lose its backbone."

Yu Rong said: "Many social relationships will be terminated because of this, is that what you mean?"

Lin Wangyue asked: "Who is that photo hanging in the living room?"

Xiao Fang put his arms around his knees, and said for a while, "At the beginning of the year, my father left."

He is already very good at looking at the camera, he can stare at Yu Rong firmly through the screen, and he is very precise.Yu Rong raised his eyes and looked at him from outside the camera: "I haven't heard you mention this before."

"Hey, why bring this up." Brother Xiao Fang leaned back without leaning on anything, then leaned forward, "What's the point of mentioning this, it's not good..."

His voice was getting dry, but he was still talking: "He went to the mountain to collect medicine, cut his hand, and the wound was rotten, so he didn't take it seriously. When he went to the hospital, the doctor said there was nothing he could do, it was tetanus."

"It's too late."

"On the day the child was born, I dreamed about him, so I asked my mother, and I said, is it because Dad wants to come back to see his grandson? I said, why don't we go to Granny Bai, and ask Dad to come back, my mother said No, we won't go, she said, let your dad go, if you call him back once, and he takes a look at it, don't forget to hang it up, he will always remember it, and he won't be able to leave. People who can't get away can't go to reincarnation. If they don't go to reincarnation, they will become lonely ghosts. When people die, their bodies will become cold and become lonely ghosts. After a long time, their souls will become cold and stiff. He will not remember anything, forget everything, he can’t figure out what’s going on with him, it’s so painful.”

Brother Xiao Fang lights a cigarette and smokes by himself.

Yu Rong asked him, "Do you still remember what happened in that dream?"

Brother Xiao Fang straightened his hair and said, "Remember, I went to dig bamboo shoots in the mountains with him, and he asked me what we had for breakfast. I said, why don't we have breakfast together? There are mothers and swallows. And Xiao Cheng, why don't you remember, why are you still asking me?"

"My dad asked me who Xiao Cheng was."

"I said, Xiao Cheng, you don't even remember? Xiao Cheng is your grandson."

"My dad yelled 'ahh' and I woke up."

At this point, Brother Fang's mother came out of the kitchen. She patted Brother Fang. Brother Fang spoke in dialect, frowning and chirping for a while. Yu Rong asked, "Has your mother ever dreamed about your father?" ?”

Lin Wangyue laughed from the side, aimed at Yu Rong, Yu Rong touched the bridge of his nose, but there was no sound.

Brother Xiao Fang sent his mother back to the kitchen, and asked Yu Rong, "Is it okay? Or should we do it again?"

Yu Rong said repeatedly: "Very good, very good."

When Xiao Fang's mother came out of the kitchen again, she was holding a clay pot in her arms. She passed by Yu Rong and put the pot at the foot of the wall.She looked at Yu Rong cautiously and cautiously.

Yu Rong stopped looking at her, and lowered his head to count the questions he had written down, picked another one, and asked Xiao Fang: "So you believe that people will become ghosts after death?"

"Don't you believe this too? Otherwise, what are you doing here looking for Granny Bai?" Brother Xiao Fang smiled.

Yu Rong smiled, unable to argue.Brother Xiao Fang said again: "People have become ghosts..." He was anxious to say something, but he hesitated to speak.He smoked, turned his head, and fell silent, completely silent.

The camera function is still working, and the light in the picture is a bit too white, almost overexposed.Yu Rong wanted to stop, but Xiao Fang said in a muffled voice, "Death... means that people who are still alive fall into the well, do you understand?"

He looked at the camera, raised his eyes, and looked at Yu Rong: "What's so good about the funeral?"

"What's so good about the dead?"

Yu Rong pressed the pause button and said softly, "I don't know either, maybe I'll know the answer if I shoot a lot."

Lin Wangyue, who was sitting next to him, stood up and stretched. He took another elm leaf and blew it between his lips.He played "Song of Selling Newspapers".

The sun was too high for the light to be captured by any mechanical design.Yu Rong decides to set off for Bro's house.

When they left the courtyard, Xiao Fang always said, "We'll be there after passing this sugarcane field", but after passing through the first sugarcane field they encountered, there were no farmhouses on the left or right, and there was no sound of crying or mourning. , Brother Xiao Fang slowed down, and pointed forward: "It will be there in a while."

He folded a dogtail grass and played with it in his hand.It’s not like going to his house from the pier before, there is a flat road to go, this area is almost all farmland, the loess is muddy, the three of them are walking on the ridge of the field, lined up, and Yu Rong is walking at the back with a tripod with a camera on it , His shoes were already covered with mud, Lin Wangyue walked in the middle, his shoes and trouser legs were also covered with mud spots.Although Xiao Fang walked slowly, he still talked a lot. He was still a know-it-all, and he could name all the trees, crops, roofs and courtyard walls he saw.

There are the most peach trees around here, followed by willows, elms, and banyan trees. Mr. Zhang, who teaches in Bamei Primary School, has jujube and persimmon trees in his home. The persimmons here don’t bear fruit. Li Guoxiong’s home has two tractors parked in front of the pear tree. It blooms large white flowers. There is a wintersweet in Lao Feng’s house. It is very rare. The villagers regard it as a treasure, and Lao Feng also regards it as a treasure. A fence is installed around it. Invite him to tea, invite him to drink.

When passing a potato field, Yu Rong asked: "Has there ever been a fire in this village that killed a family?"

"I've never heard of it." Xiao Fang said, looking back at Yu Rong, "Which one did you listen to? When did it happen?"

Yu Rong said, "Maybe I misremembered, maybe it's another village." He paused for a while, then asked, "Have any famous people come out of your place?"

"Celebrity? The secretary of the county party committee in Guangnan is Ba Meiren!" Xiao Fang said, not without pride.

Yu Rong said: "Have there been any writers, painters, etc.?"

Brother Xiao Fang thought for a long time, then shook his head.Suddenly, he walked faster, climbed over a small terraced field, pointed to a farmhouse and said, "Did you see that peach tree?"

"peach?"

In this season, the peach blossoms have withered early, and the peaches will bear fruit, and the peaches will fall early. In this season, no matter whether it is a peach tree, a pear tree or an apple tree, Yu Rong sees the same.

"Oh, it's the one over there!" Brother Xiao Fang pointed more clearly, "That's the Bro's house!"

He was pointing at a strange big tree mixed with white and green. When he got closer, Yu Rong could see clearly that the big tree was covered with snow-white ribbons, and Kazuki's green leaves became a supporting role.There is a wooden door beside the tree, and the wooden door is embedded in a loess wall.The crying sound passed through the door and the wall, rolling over like a wave.
