Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

Sha Zhu remembered the story of the Tianchi water monster and planned to tell Yu Li a new story.

"Let me tell you another story."

"No more sad stories. They are nice to hear but make you feel uncomfortable." Yu Li made a small request.

"Don't worry, it's definitely not a sad story." Sha Zhu was determined to meet the requirements of the woman he had chosen, so he began to tell the story: "A long time ago, there was a family in a small mountain village in the northeast. There were parents and three children. The father was a veterinarian and often went out to treat other people's livestock. Most of the farm work at home was left to the mother and two older children. Although the youngest son Tieshan was small, he also wanted to contribute to his family. He often went to the wild to pick some pig grass and went to the river to catch some fish and shrimp."

"His name is Tieshan. Is his brother's name Jinshan Yinshan?" Yu Li teased, a little disdainful of the name given by Sha Zhu.

"Hey, you're so smart. His two brothers are named Jinshan Yinshan. You also know that this is the most simple wish of ordinary people, that is, to have a house full of gold and silver. You are so awesome." Sha Zhu also knew that Yu Li was teasing him deliberately, but he didn't mind. He praised his own wife.

"Let me continue. One day, the youngest son Tieshan came to the river again and wanted to catch some fish to take home. He took off his clothes and dived into the water. By chance, a big fish swam past him, and he reached out and grabbed the fish's tail.

After the big fish was caught by the tail, it was swung hard.

Tieshan didn't know where he got the strength to hold on to the fish, and was carried by the big fish for a long distance in the water. In fact, if he were an adult, he would either control the big fish with force or let it go, because people cannot stay in the water for too long.

Tieshan was a child and didn't realize this problem. After a while, he felt suffocated and had to let go and swam to the surface.

When he reached the surface, Tieshan realized that he had never been to this place before.

He didn't have the energy to swim back in the water, so he swam to the shore and walked along the direction of the river. He picked the grass on the roadside as he walked, hoping to see if there were any mushrooms, rabbits or the like.

Alas! Tieshan was lucky today. He found four eggs in a bush, two of which were shiny white and two were red with scales on them.

Tieshan made a straw basket, put the eggs in it and took it home.

When he got home, he happily showed off the eggs he picked up to his parents and said he would give them to his parents and brother to eat.

Tieshan's father is a veterinarian. After looking at these eggs, he knew the white ones were bird eggs, but he couldn't tell what kind of bird they were. He also couldn't tell what animal the red eggs with scales belonged to. These two were much larger than ordinary goose eggs. Almost no egg-laying animal he knew of would lay such large eggs.

Dad hopes to hatch these eggs. Animals hatched from such big eggs must have a lot of meat. Let the eggs give birth to animals, and the animals lay eggs. Then in the future, we can eat meat whenever we want and eat eggs whenever we want. How happy we are.

So the family put a few eggs in the quilt and started hatching them.

Fortunately, two eggs were hatched, the two red eggs. The two animals that came out had long triangular heads that were pointed and flat like snakes, two rows of tiny fangs in their mouths, slender necks, bulging bellies, no feet but four fin-shaped feet without toes, and a long tail with a round ball instead of a point. Their entire bodies were covered with dark red scales, and they loved to soak in water.

Tieshan's father has never seen this kind of animal. You say it is our dragon, but it has no horns or claws. You say it is not, but it has scales, a long neck and a long tail.

Forget it, let's keep them for now. Because their eyes are one green and one red, Tieshan named them Qingshan and Hongshan. (Can the names be more irresponsible?)

Since Tieshan had nothing to do, the job of raising the chickens was given to him. At the beginning, the little ones ate little, but the family could still afford it. Gradually, the little ones grew up, ate more, and started to eat meat. From time to time, one of the chickens raised at home would be missing, but that was a chicken that was supposed to lay eggs. It was not what we expected. Not only did they not get to eat the meat, but they also lost the existing meat.

Because Qinghong and Ershan ate several chickens, Dad decided not to raise them anymore. They ate so much when they were not very big, and he couldn't afford to raise them. So he decided to kill Qinghong and Ershan for their meat.

Tieshan disagreed. He was the one who picked up the egg and spent more time incubating it. He had also raised it for so many days that he had developed feelings for it.

Seeing that Tieshan was determined to protect Ershan, Dad had to give up the idea of ​​killing him for meat, but he also told Tieshan that he could no longer raise Ershan.

Tieshan had no choice but to send Qingshan and Hongshan to the river, where there were fish in the water and they could catch fish and shrimp to eat.

However, Qinghong and Ershan did not follow Tieshan's idea and only ate fish in the river. They came ashore and killed the lamb of the villagers. They were also discovered by people. The villagers were not Tieshan's parents, so they decided to kill Qinghong and Ershan. Finally, Tieshan begged the villagers on his knees and promised to catch 200 big fish as compensation. Only then did Qinghong and Ershan avoid being killed and eaten.

Tieshan thought that this place was too close to people, and that the Qing and Hong Mountains always brought disaster to people, and that people would sooner or later be unable to bear it and beat them to death. It was said that there was a Tianchi Lake on the mountain that reached the sky to the east of their village, and the old people in the village said that the bottom of the Tianchi Lake might be connected to the sea.

Tieshan thought: If we send Qinghongshan there, will they be able to swim to the sea along the passage below? Once in the sea, they can get away from people and have lots of fish to eat. It’s a wonderful thought.

Tieshan did it as soon as he thought of it. He didn't tell his family. He thought Tianchi was very close and he could come back in one day. He made a mistake again. He carried Qinghong Ershan in a backpack for a long time but still couldn't reach the foot of the mountain. When he was about to give up, Qinghong Ershan stretched his head out of the backpack and licked him, which gave him strength and determination.

After climbing the mountain road for more than ten days, drinking mountain spring water when thirsty and eating wild fruits when hungry, Tieshan finally found Tianchi. When he opened the backpack, a large piece of auspicious clouds and golden light appeared over Tianchi. The green and red mountains in the backpack suddenly turned into two golden dragons like the ones in the painting. Although they were small, the dragon horns and five claws were clearly visible.

At this time, two more golden dragons flew out from the Tianchi Lake. These two were much larger, and coiled up to be almost as big as the surface of the Tianchi Lake. One of the dragons said to Tieshan, "Thank you, young man. This is the first child of our couple to return to the Tianchi Lake in 500 years."

"The first couple? Why?" Tieshan asked, "My parents both have three children, why do you have so few?"

'Eight thousand years ago, the dragon race helped the Yellow Emperor win the war, but they were cursed by the witch race. Their offspring can only be born by animals of other races, and must return to their birthplace to transform into dragons. My wife has laid two dragon eggs here every year for 500 years, and I sent them to the nests of birds or other egg-laying animals. But only today did these two little dragons come back here. It seems that the other dragon eggs either did not hatch and became dead eggs, or died after hatching. If they hadn't come today, our golden dragon lineage would have been cut off.'

'Why, just keep giving birth?'

"My wife and I have consumed too much energy and blood in order to continue our bloodline and give birth to many children. Our life span is almost over."

'What is the end of life?'

"It means it is dying." The golden dragon replied, and then said, "You sent our child back, and we want to repay you. This is a fruit that we use to prolong our life, so I will give it to you." After that, a purple-red fruit flew from the sky to Tieshan.

Tieshan reached out to take it, but shook his head, "No need, you're all dying, I'll keep it for you to eat."

"You are a good child, but there is only one fruit between the two of us. If one dies and the other lives, it will only leave us with sorrow." The two big dragons turned around and called out to the little dragon, "Let's go. We still have the inheritance of the Golden Dragon lineage to pass on to you."

The two little dragons kept circling above Tieshan Mountain, unwilling to leave for a long time.

"Let's go. As long as you complete the inheritance, maybe we'll have a chance to meet again in the future." Dalong urged Xiaolong, "We don't have much time."

After saying that, the four golden dragons, two large and two small, bid farewell to Tieshan, dived into the water and disappeared.

Tieshan shouted to Qingshan and Hongshan on the shore, but they never appeared again. Finally, Tieshan ate the red fruit and left Tianchi sadly. It is said that he lived for more than 300 years.

After listening to the story, Yu Li kept thinking about the dragon's curse and said, "I was wondering why we can't see dragons now. It turns out that it takes so many conditions to become a dragon and it's so difficult."

"It's just a story, don't take it seriously." Sha Zhu emphasized, "I just made it up."

"Although Jinlong's family was reunited in the end, Tieshan lost Qingshan and Hongshan, which still makes me feel uncomfortable."

"How about changing it to Qingshan and Hongshan learning the inheritance from the big golden dragon, and then coming to Tieshan, coming every evening and leaving early in the morning until Tieshan dies, and Tieshan hatches a pair of children for them every year, and finally the golden dragon clan becomes a disaster. Is this okay?"

"No! You come in the evening and leave early in the morning. Do you think Zhu Bajie is going to Gao Laozhuang? This ending is worse than before." Yu Li pretended to be angry and slapped Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu smiled and said, "Haha, as for the story, I will tell it however you like. It's up to you."

Seeing that it was noon again, Sha Zhu stood up to take Yu Li to eat, but Yu Li asked Sha Zhu to sit down, opened the cloth bag she brought, took out the prepared pancakes, and took out a lunch box and a kettle. The lunch box contained fried shredded potatoes and the kettle contained sugar water, "Try my pancakes and my mother's dishes."

Yu Li took the initiative to roll a pancake with potato shreds for Sha Zhu, and paired it with sugar water. Sha Zhu ate it with great relish, and kept praising its deliciousness. This daughter-in-law is really caring, and she wouldn't trade it for a small goal.

Sha Zhu plans to take Yu Li to meet his master and his mistress next week and ask his master to help him propose marriage. He wants to get married quickly and doesn't want to wait any longer. A good wife should be brought home early and loved early.

Ever since Qin Jingru met Xu Damao, Xu Damao provided her with funds for traveling to and from Kyoto. After she arrived, he provided her with food and clothes. In just a few days, many girls in the village began to envy Qin Jingru.

Under the dual temptation of money and sweet words, Qin Jingru thinks of Xu Damao every moment.

That day, Xu Damao found out that other colleagues in the Propaganda Department were showing movies at Qinjiazhuang, so he took two boxes of Daqianmen and switched places with his colleagues. He knew that he had softened Qin Jingru's heart into pieces through his sugar-coated bullets over the past few days.

This time when he goes back to Qinjiazhuang, he can easily push Qin Jingru down as long as he finds an opportunity.

When Qin Jingru saw Xu Damao debugging the machine in the drying yard, Xu Damao also stole a glance at her. Qin Jingru's nervous expression, finger snapping, and braiding movements all revealed her inner excitement of seeing her lover. According to Xu Damao's many years of experience, the success rate of eating chicken tonight is as high as one thousand percent.

Sure enough, after Xu Damao finished showing the movie, he told the person in the village who arranged his accommodation that he wanted to go out for a walk. Not far from the door, he saw Qin Jingru, who had been waiting outside. The two of them hugged each other and walked around to the grove outside the village.

Qin Jingru was half-hearted, and Xu Damao quickly leaned over and held his spear, ending the fight in no time.

Xu Damao had a look of relief and satisfaction on his face, but Qin Jingru, who was having sex for the first time, only felt pain without any pleasure.

Qin Jingru cried: She lost her virginity without any clear reason, and it hurt so much.

Gradually, Qin Jingru cried louder and louder.

Xu Damao quickly covered Qin Jingru's mouth, "Aunt, why are you crying?"

"Why am I crying? My mom said that you can only do this with a man after you are married. I didn't listen to my mom. You have a wife and you are not divorced. What if I get pregnant? How can I live?" Qin Jingru opened her mouth wide and started howling.

Xu Damao covered Qin Jingru's mouth again, "Auntie, who said I won't marry you? I will definitely marry you. I will divorce you tomorrow when I go back, and then I will come to marry you in a sedan chair carried by eight men."

Qin Jingru burst into laughter, holding Xu Damao's long face and said, "Really?"

"It's more real than real gold." Xu Damao stretched out three fingers and swore, "If I, Xu Damao, don't get a divorce tomorrow, I will turn into a cuckold."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Jingru covered Xu Damao's mouth with her hand, "Damo, don't swear like that, what if it comes true?"

Swearing and swearing are commonplace for Xu Damao. He doesn't believe in anything at all and is a staunch atheist.

Xu Damao had never thought about divorce. Lou Xiao'e's father, Lou Bancheng, had not fallen yet. Although he had no power in the public-private joint-venture steel mill, he was still rich. Otherwise, with the same salary of 35.5 yuan as Sha Zhu, how could Xu Damao take Qin Jingru to eat, play and buy things? Even if he added the chickens, ducks and mountain products given to him by the village during the movie screenings, it was not enough, especially now it was a famine year, what could the village give him? Besides, you need tickets to eat and buy things in Kyoto, and money alone is not enough.

Xu Damao just wanted to get through tonight, and then he would refuse to admit his guilt to anyone who came to him next time. A village girl, maybe Sha Zhu would like her, Xu Damao could play with her and take her home? Impossible, absolutely impossible.
