Legend of the Cultivation God Chapter 4: New Year
Fourth Chapter Chinese New Year ()
In the next few days, the family of Zhang Cai and his family all circled around Digging a well. Fortunately, on the Sixth day, the long-awaited water was finally dug out. Finally, a difficult task was completed before the winter, and everyone was relieved. Just when Zhang Cai was busy paying the digger, and the three Zhang Xiaolong brothers were busy repairing the path from the field to the well platform, the gloomy winter cloud topped, and a little snowy salt-like **** fell from the sky, indicating the coming of winter.
The first snow fell and the cold wind was even more chilly, not far from the New Year.
Zhang Cai was very satisfied this year. He made more land for his family and made another well. In the future, this land is not afraid of drought, so he should be the main source of food for his family. Therefore, as the New Year approached, Guo Sufei was ordered to prepare a little new year. The family passed the year well, and the old mother-in-law was older. After a year, the old mother-in-law’s body became worse and worse. I lay in bed for a long time, and I don’t know if I can pass the next year. When I think of my parents and the old father-in-law, he can’t bear the fiery thoughts and look forward to a good year of Perfection.
The School of Agriculture‘s new year goods are easy to purchase. The so-called richness means that there are many styles, but the number is very small. As far as the style is concerned, most of the mountain goods are dried on weekdays, and only a few things are bought by Zhang from a far away market. Because of the mother-in-law’s relation, Zhang Cai bought some food that he hadn’t seen before this year, but it made the three Zhang Xiaolong brothers greedy and just wanted to hurry up and taste a little early in the New Year. In addition to being busy with the New Year, Guo Sufei spends more time in the village looking for acquaintances and sometimes inquiries in nearby villages. What she cares about is the marriage of her elder son. However, looking at her sometimes gloomy and sometimes joyous complexion, it felt that things were not as smooth as expected.
Time passed by in a hurry with the Zhang family, and the New Year finally came.
On the first day of the New Year, when everyone was around the stove and talking about the harvest of the next year, the situation in the field and Zhang Xiaolong ’s future daughter-in-law. Suddenly heard noisy shouts outside the village, all messed up outside. “Are robbers looting the village?” Zhang Cai immediately thought in his mind. However, it should not be so. Because Guo Zhuang is very small, the Guo family is also a small family. Every family is very poor. The robbers who live in the mountains nearby are never coming to this place where the bird does not shit. Right. Despite this, Zhang Cai didn’t dare to carelessly, greeted the three children, took a **** and waited for the guy with iron, and walked out of the house carefully. The wall of the Zhang family is half-height. I saw the situation in the village at a glance. In the village, many people were gathering to talk, and some were running, but there were no people who did n’t know. Although everyone ’s face was a little scared, but I can still see a little expression of happiness and gloating. Zhang Cai was very strange. He ordered the three children to return to the house, put the “weapon” back, and went out to find out the news. Of course, the three of Zhang Xiaolong didn’t want to be idle, but also walked out and mingled with young people of the same age.
There are a lot of people in the village. They are standing, sitting, or sitting in twos and threes, talking about one thing. Zhang Cai walked to one of the group of old men who were smoking and smoking, and gestured loudly, saw the Blacksmith Liu who was more familiar with himself, patted him on the shoulder, and said, “Old Liu, what’s going on? What a mess. “Blacksmith Liu was smoking a cigarette silently. When Zhang Cai asked him, he just knocked the freshly smoked cigarette on the ground and refilled the pot with a pot of new cigarettes. Be careful At the point, took a deep breath, and then said dullly:
“Brother, do you know an eye from the north of our village eighty miles away, the robber standing in Xicui Mountain?”
Zhang Cai said: “Yes, that’s our biggest thief within a hundred miles. How can I not know? But they have always been active in the wealthy places on the north side. Why are we running here?”
Blacksmith Liu took another cigarette and said, “Yeah, do you remember the Front end time, Xinzhuang ’s Mister Wu dug a well and dug a box of babies?”
Zhang Cai suddenly realized: “Are they, they …”. Zhang Cai didn’t ask anymore. He already knew the reason of the matter. The wealth was not revealed. Such a conspicuous sum of huge foreign money was targeted by the robbers. What good results can be achieved?
Guo Tufu next to him did n’t ask Zhang, so he squeezed over and said mysteriously, “It ’s not just that, Mister Wu was lucky at the beginning, saying that foundation does n’t have anything, do n’t admit it, that one He drove dozens of people from the Mister Wu family into the ancestral hall, and sent someone to turn the Mister Wu home upside down. As a result, a lot of treasures were found from the bottom of the well in the vegetable cellar. With one eye, Mister Wu deceived himself. A fire burned Wu Family‘s ancestral hall, dozens of people alive, none of them ran out. Fortunately, Xinzhuang is a little stronger than us, they are all poor, and it is not difficult for other people with one eye. These When the robbers left, they quarreled to make the villagers careful not to report to the officials, otherwise Xinzhuang’s people would be buried with them. “
Blacksmith Liu said: “Once the disaster happened, I thought I had made a fortune a few days ago, and now I will be extinct. Misery ~”
Guo Tufu went on to say, “It ’s not that the door was gone. The Mister Wu ’s younger daughter-in-law went back to our village to see her father and mother yesterday. She did n’t go back today. She escaped a disaster. She did n’t report it just now. Well, and the person who heard the news said that when the thief left, he even dragged a woman on the horse and could not see her face. It is estimated that he was the daughter of Mister Wu. He was caught by the thief and caught uphill, maybe Become a Mrs. Zhai. “
The three brothers of Zhang Xiaohua have been standing behind their father for a long time. After hearing this from the villagers, they felt very cold for no reason. I have also heard the sinister acts of robbers on weekdays, but they are all just talking, and now happen to my side, and Mister Wu has also been seen by several people, and I have taught Zhang Xiaohua to know a few words in hours, but now I have not After being burnt into coke, although he did not see it with his own eyes, he also felt sad and scared. Zhang Xiaohua unconsciously rubbed the Bracelet with his left wrist, and secretly thought: “Fortunately, what I dug is not a real treasure. Even if it is, I will never tell anyone to avoid bringing it to myself and my family. Disaster. “Piff is not guilty of guilt, so **** truth is so deeply introduced into the heart of less young man.
The three brothers told Zhang Cai that they wanted to go to Xinzhuang to see what happened, but Zhang Cai did not agree. After all, it’s the New Year soon, and it hit the Blood Light disaster. It is really bad for the luck of the next year, and Xinzhuang’s Wu Family is now a scorched earth. The terrible scene is frightening. It is estimated that the people of Government Authority should also be there now. If you go, you might get a lot of trouble.
Speaking and talking, the people in the village are also scattered. After all, their days are over, and their own days still have to live. The reason for the snow in front of each door, even School of Agriculture people understand. It’s getting dark, and my New Year is coming, let’s get in the mood and be busy with my business.
Zhang Cai and his three children returned home and saw their mother-in-law and Guo Sufei surrounding the stove and roasting the fire. They told them what happened in Xinzhuang. The two were overwhelmed when they heard it. They both prayed to heaven and hoped The dead undead can be reborn early, and hope that their family will never encounter such a scourge. Until the sky was dark, and the oil lamps were lit at home, Zhang Xiaohua‘s grandmother was still whispering: “Don’t be evil, be happy.”
In the same New Year, this year’s Guo Zhuangyuan is not as lively as before. Only at night, only children play with lanterns, and only they don’t know the dangers of people World and let their own nature. Most of the villagers are like the Zhang Cai family. After eating a sumptuous New Year ’s Eve dinner and tidying up the hard work of the past year, I hope that the new year will be sweet and happy. There is a gloom in my heart. Think about the experience of Mister Wu. Thinking about this weak meat-eater World, it is inevitable that there is the idea of ”I am for fish”, looking at the vast World, but I do not know how to protect the stability of my family.
The New Year ’s Eve, which should have been noisy, passed by quietly. I do n’t know if there are happiness, joy, or harvest and sweetness in the dreams of other people in the village, but Zhang Xiaohua only has Flickering lights, so Flickering lights seems to have a trace of clarity.
The School of Agriculture people ’s New Year is actually very simple, except for the mutual New Year ’s greetings, only the Lu Town in the distance will catch up. Every Third day of the New Year begins, there is a street in Lu Town where the lively “Ji” gathers in the neighboring eight towns. Everyone wears new clothes, drags the family to bring the mouth, brings a pocket of money at the waist, come here to feel the New Year Of Aura.
Zhang Cai’s family, Guo Sufei wants to take care of Zhang Xiaohua‘s grandmother at home. Zhang Cai took the three children to Lu Town to catch up.
Lu Town is located in the south of Guozhuang, 30 miles from Guozhuang.
There are not many streets in Lu Town, and there is not much fun for people to share on weekdays. It was easy to catch up with a New Year’s rally. Everyone took out the energy they had accumulated for a year and squeezed out a Lu Town street. This is a north-south-facing street. The street is relatively wide. It seems that it is the main street of Lu Town. There are many shops on both sides of the street. No matter what kind of business it is, the business is very good. A lot of people came in and out, the guys in the shop stood inside and outside the shop to greet the guests, and many peddlers picked their own set of Little Scholar meters and placed them on the street, yelling and soliciting non-stop Focus on the flow of people passing by. On weekdays, if the guys in the shop see someone blocking the door, they will greet them, but today is an exception, they all come out to find a way out. In order to discuss the New Year ’s jackpot, everyone will not be blushed and hurt, even When we meet, we wish each other good luck.
As a result, the street, which is not too spacious, becomes more crowded. And Zhang Xiaohua, who came to the market with Dad and Elder Brother, didn’t even know where to look.
