15. Entertainment in the mountains
The main business of the children in the village is to herd cattle and sheep and chop firewood, and the cattle may not be available to every family, but each child will be responsible for a few, more than a dozen.
Although Mingcheng's family is a large family, the family does not specifically spoil children, like the children in the village, they should herd sheep when they should herd sheep, and they will chop firewood when they should chop firewood, even Mingyue is no exception.
It's just that when Mingcheng and Sangou went to study in the city together, these jobs were rarely done, and Mingyue was also older, so it was inconvenient to go out alone, so he stayed at home and accompanied his mother to be a female celebrity, which was considered to be in the boudoir.
At that time, rural girls were married at a very young age, they were married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, they were married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and they were old girls after eighteen.
In addition, cattle and sheep are herded, usually cattle are used to plow the fields, and the sheep are raised and sold for money to supplement the family, such as the book fee for reading, the red envelope for congratulations, the new clothes for the New Year, and so on.
But children don't think about these things, and every morning and afternoon, groups of children drive flocks of sheep to the mountains to graze, and watch the sheep not go to other people's fields to eat. The sheep are very docile, very attentive to grazing, and can even find their own home.
I remember that a few years ago, a female sheep of the bolt's family disappeared on the mountain, and I didn't see it all over the back mountain, and I found other villages, but there was nothing, and I thought it was taken away by a wolf, and the bolt who was responsible for herding the sheep was beaten up because of this.
When everyone was about to forget about it, suddenly one day, the ewes of the bolt family came home, followed by four little lambs. Dare to love this is the ewe knew that she was going to give birth at that time, so she quickly found a remote cave to hide and give birth.
As a result, after giving birth to a lamb, she could not return home, and the eyes of the newborn lamb had not yet opened, and she could not walk for a few days, so the ewe lived in the cave, and went out to find grass to eat while taking care of the lamb, and when the lamb was old enough to walk with her, she took it home.
These are not speculations, but later the ewe came to the remote cave with the bolt, and saw the sheepfold made of hay collected by the ewe herself, and only then did she know that it was a strange thing, and everyone said that the ewe of the bolt family was a human in the last life.
A group of children herding sheep on the mountain, idle and idle, just find all kinds of fun, hide and seek to play war, hopscotch, etc., are some ordinary things, the biggest hobby is, after seeing the opera on the village stage during the New Year's holiday, the children began to rehearse the opera they saw on the mountain, according to their own understanding of the meaning.
You will play Guan Gong, I will play Qin Qiong, come on, let's fight for 300 rounds, and we will not stop regardless of winning or losing......
Some children are really good and can recite whole words, such as:
Hanshou Pavilion Marquis, Qinglong Yanyue gods and ghosts are all worried;
In front of the White Horse Slope, he was ugly, and he had beheaded the old Cai Yang in the ancient city.
His third brother has a strong wing, and his eight snake spears are used to taking people's throats;
whipped the superintendent and he was angry with the bull fight, and the tiger prison was in front of the battle of Wen Hou;
When there was a roar in front of the Yang Bridge, the bridge water was cut off and flowed backwards.
His four disciples, Long Changshan General, are the heroes of the world and Kyushu;
Changbanpo rescued Adou and killed Cao Bing.
……
That's really, to kill a bunch of envy and admiration, it's too powerful.
Also, a few powerful people on the word-:
To be common name.
Old man Huang Zhong, dare to be Guan Gong when he came here?
However, even if you know that a certain family is here, you still don't get off the horse and surrender!
Phew! Guan Gong, who is so bold and bold, what skills do you have to dare to take a certain Changsha?
If you ask about the majesty of a certain family, you will hear it. Le Ma stopped and stood on the field, Huang Zhong listened carefully:
My eldest brother is a dignified emperor, and now the emperor's uncle is rising all over the world.
A certain third brother Yide Tiger General shouted and broke the bridge.
A certain four disciples, Long Changshan, saved Xiao Wang in front of the longboard slope.
Third, please ask the military advisor Zhuge Liang, the magic is stronger than people.
A certain family was born to kill a male tiger, Yan Liang and Wen Chou died with a knife,
After five passes, six generals were killed, and Cai Yang was killed by beating drums and three links.
I advise you to let Changsha go as soon as possible, and if you are a little late, you will die under a certain knife.
Huang Zhong:
Sitting in a carved saddle with his eyes, Guan Gong is dressed unusually:
A single phoenix eye comes to lie on the silkworm eyebrows, and five locks of long hair float on the chest.
Step down and ride a red rabbit horse, with green dragon steel in your hand.
turned around and said the words, and called Guan Gong to listen carefully:
A certain family is eleventh or twelfth to practice archery horses, and thirteenth and fourteenth are on the battlefield.
You take Changsha and rest delusionally, don't you know that the strong have their own strong and strong.
Listen to a bunch of children fascinated, although many of them don't sing correctly, and not many people can understand it, but the posture, that momentum, and that kind of singing are too advanced, for some teenage children.
In addition, these rare high-end entertainments, after all, will be a very small number of big children; The kids are more entertaining themselves, playing pranks and whatnot.
For example, once, Sangou picked a few very spicy slender peppers from other people's fields, wrapped them in cabbage leaves, and gave them to the sheep's mouth.
This sheep didn't chew twice, and it felt wrong, oh my mother, that spicy, the sheep was spicy, and it was so uncomfortable that it shook its head violently.
This sheep is not human, I don't know that this is a spicy pepper, and even if I do, I don't know how to find water to drink and eat a big meal to relieve the spicy.
It is estimated that the sheep felt that there was something in his mouth and bit it, and the spicy was unbearable, so he put his mouth on the grass and grinded it back and forth, but it was really not good, so he smashed it up and down.
This is a very rare scene, which makes the children crazy with joy, laughing all over the place, and several of them are so laughing that they can't get up on the ground, and they are all angry, and tears come out of their eyes.
The sheep, and I don't know that people are laughing at it, even if I know, I can't take care of it, it's so spicy that it bleating, it's really pitiful, looking for spicy ones everywhere, eating grass in a big gulp, finding a ditch with water, and lying down and pouring it violently, so that it can be regarded as passing that uncomfortable strength.
Then they did the same, and took the leaves wrapped in peppers for the cow to eat, and the cow was not as docile as the sheep, and it was so spicy that it was uncomfortable, so it ran wildly, and started to run wildly, and the children fled in all directions, and some of them had no time to run, so they quickly climbed the tree.
The cow thought that it was harming it, and if it was given such an uncomfortable thing, it would retaliate, and launch a ruthless attack on the tree with its horns, but the effect was not obvious, so it used its body to lean on, and shook the tree to the ground, and the children above were so frightened that their faces turned white, and some of them shouted for help.
At this time, the owner of the cow learned of the situation, and hurried to pull the cow into the pond, let the cow drink water and bathe, go to the spicy and calm down. In the end, the cow's mouth was relieved, and he played in the water for a while, but he probably forgot about it, and the master took it home and put it in the cow pen.
From then on, the children no longer dared to joke with the cow, they were as bold as the three dogs, they could bathe (swim) with the big buffalo, grab the tail of the cow and climb on the back of the cow, a cow can camel several children, and it will not sink in the water.
I heard that one year, the big buffalo of Ermao's family met a water ghost in the pond, and the water ghost was infinitely powerful in the water, and when the person was caught, he was dragged into the deep water, unable to escape, and had no chance of survival.
But this water ghost, maybe he hasn't eaten anything for a long time, actually hit the idea of a big buffalo, and listen to Ermao, at that time, their cow suddenly sank quickly, and even the head of the cow was gone.
It stands to reason that no matter how hot it is, the buffalo will not hide its head in the water for a long time. But this time, Ermao's cow suddenly disappeared from the water and disappeared, so anxious that Ermao shouted loudly.
However, after a while, there was an undercurrent in the water, and the current fluctuated very much, and the cattle of the Ermao family finally poked their heads out, and let out a long moo, as if they had broken free from something, and quickly swam to the shore and climbed ashore; Never go down that pond again.
Everyone guessed that there were water ghosts in that pond, and all the people in the village no longer went there to swim and bathe, and even when it was time to fish in winter, they had to drain the water in the pond and go directly to pick up fish.
It's also strange, even if the water in the pond is cleaned, there are no water ghosts? The old man said that the water ghost could drill into the mud, and it would be fine if he hid in the mud for a few days and did not come out, so scared that the children did not even dare to go down into the mud.
