This is a one-story building made of mud bricks. The whole body is in a line shape. It is evenly divided into three horizontally. In the middle is the hall and the dining room that is often crowded. Both ends are bedrooms. Yu Cailing lives in the east wing . The living room is very simple, the walls covered with yellow mud powder are polished clean and smooth, and a large square stove is built on the ground, which seems to be made of pottery clay. Next, Rao Yu Cailing was always calm, but she almost fainted from fright. There were
no bed frames, stools and chairs in the house. She only built a flat wooden floor on the ground with varnished wood on the inside of the house like a ladder, occupying three parts of the entire house. one-third of the size. A layer of quilt on top is considered a bed, a few small round cotton pads next to it serve as seats, and another small square table is used for catering pulp. Yu Cailing has seen a few old Kurosawa Akira movies, and it feels like a barren ancient Japanese interior construction.
When she first woke up more than ten days ago, in addition to having a splitting headache, she was frightened by the guess and fainted again, wishing to die again. In fact, the 1800-line Jiangnan town in her hometown is surrounded by mountains and valleys, with different pronunciations and words a thousand miles away. She has seen two devils who have traveled through mountains and rivers. It was only when the young man who was working in the big city outside came home and talked about it, he realized that the person dressed in that way was a devil. The old lieutenant said something very indignant, and then asked the villagers to meet again in the future, and they must put some mouse medicine in the sweet potato, sweet potato, dried radish, and radish. It's a pity that no devil has come again, and the rat medicine is useless.
It was not until after the founding of the People's Republic of China that the government opened up the mountains to split the valleys, built roads and bridges, and drilled tunnels.
"Miss, it's time to drink the medicine." A middle-aged woman came into the house with a thick wooden square plate, turned to the little girl who was holding a heavy cotton curtain beside her, and said, "Amei, put the curtain down, it's cold outside."
Yu Cailing quickly regained her senses and sat upright (actually kneeling), the woman placed the square plate on the table. On the plate were two pottery bowls, one large and one small, and the large bowl was filled with hot soup. , in the small bowl are three small preserves. Yu Cailing raised the pottery bowl and drank it silently. The bitterness filled her mouth immediately. It was worse than dichlorvos. It was true that she had never drank dichlorvos.
Then she picked up the candied candied fruit and slowly swallowed it, looking at the woman who was sitting across from Tatsumi. This woman called Yu Cailing to call herself Ramie. Yu Cailing was really not used to using one word to call people—because it reminded her of the collective name when the proprietress of the multi-functional hair salon in town called her N concubine— However, because I didn't know the local customs and didn't dare to scream, I just heard A-Mei say that a child in the left neighbor who had nightmares and babbled was almost killed by the sorcerer's pot of talisman soup. It was only later that she found out that she did call a woman a ramie.
The woman has a square face and a solemn expression. She is dressed in a gray-white linen short jacket, and her trousers are exposed from below the knees. She thinks it is for the convenience of her work. She is not like herself. Shen Yi went all the way around her waist, reaching the top of her instep. As for the ten-year-old girl A Mei next to her, her clothes were even simpler. She wore a short cotton coat and ran around the yard with her thick cotton-padded trousers exposed.
More than a dozen days ago, Yu Cailing was lying on the mattress half-conscious, her eyelids seemed to weigh thousands of pounds, only to hear a shrill female voice scolding: "...You incompetent fool, my lady gave you this errand, you actually I've been neglected so far, if the little girl is really good and bad, it's not enough to feed your whole family to the dog!" Then a girl whispered: "You told the villain to ignore her back then, and let her swear and smash it, it's a crime. Those who are at fault here will be punished first, and then they will burn whoever knows about it..." The sharp woman said, "Damn, no matter how wrong she is, she is also the daughter of the master's family, so it's your turn to ignore it!"
...Yu Cailing fainted again She fell into a deep sleep and felt that someone was feeding her decoction. At that time, her will to survive was strong, so she tried to swallow it. In a trance, she heard the sharp female voice laughing: "...I'm not going to lie to you, this is a hot potato, It's not too serious, no one is willing to take responsibility now that I'm like this, you're better, you've been watching me for the past few days..."
Then came the gentle but slow voice of the woman, she smiled: "It's not that the girl is sick. In this way, this good job is not up to me, I just hope that the master will read me better, and in the future my family Amei Aliang will also have a future." Then there was a sound of banging copper coins, it was the sharp female voice. Satisfied: "Alright, since you recognize this errand, just do it well." Then he left.
Yu Cailing, who has almost a perfect score in logic, can deduce that even if she is fully cooked, her body should be a young lady who made a mistake in an ancient noble family. She is currently being punished in the village. I got sick and died of a high fever, so I cheapened myself.
When she saw the woman Ramie for the first time, Yu Cailing used her very shallow ancient knowledge to distinguish it, and only hoped that she was wearing a braided flag or a Tang suit with a bare chest - she didn't mind marrying a half-bare head. The husband or the cold dew ditch in winter! It's a pity that she didn't know when the dark clothes were worn in ancient times. Yu Cailing bowed her head down for three days, until she recovered her body on the fourth day and followed Amei to see the bride and her marriage, and then she suddenly became happy--naturally, at that time, Amei didn't know why the usually unhappy young girl opened her arms for no reason. .
The woman Limie was also looking at Yu Cailing. In order to recover from the illness, the medical workers had already prepared enough materials. Even if she eats such a bitter medicinal soup, she would frown on her own, but the little girl sprayed it for the first time. Every time he raised his head, he didn't complain, and the expression of clenching his teeth and pursing his lips was very stubborn and tough. She was also taciturn. I didn't expect this little lady to be more taciturn. Apart from having a few more words with Amei, she often stayed silent all day—how could it be completely different from the description outside, and Ramie was a little puzzled.
After eating the soup, Amei with a round face snuggled up to Yu Cailing's side, and said coincidentally, "Miss, it's warm outside today, let's go play." Yu Cailing was also tired of sitting on her knees, and nodded in agreement. The woman smiled and said, "It's fine to soak up the sun, but today the guards are not here, you are not allowed to go far, and ask Ah Liang to follow."
Yu Cailing gave Ramie a strange look, this woman is taciturn. Allow her to go out and play without an adult male escort.
A Mei made a face at her mother, and quickly served Yu Cailing to put on thick-soled cotton shoes with a raised head, and then wrapped a thick cloak. The two girls happily held hands and went out to play.
Walking outside the house, Yu Cailing took a long breath, and the air of ice and snow came to her face. The charcoal fire in her chest disappeared, and she was full of fresh and cold breath. Looking up at the sky in the northern countryside, Fang felt the blue sky when she was in elementary school. Baiyun is not a lie, seeing the high and wide sky, as clean as clear ice water, Yu Cailing felt very happy.
Looking back at this small courtyard, a wide fence surrounds the house far and wide. Although it is a country house, it has a high roof. The three houses in it are wide and tall, without the slightest timid atmosphere—— Such a tall and spacious house does not look like a Japanese country at all.
Yu Cailing nodded with satisfaction, and while pulling little Amei, she led a seven- or eight-year-old boy who was jumping out of the yard, but saw two knights in bunts galloping from afar, accompanied by snow. And
a little dust, the sharp-eyed Amei suddenly said: "It's my father, ... and my brother." Then he shouted and shook his arms: "Father! Brother!" Reining his horse neatly, he turned over and dismounted, and the middle-aged man who took the lead clasped his fists and bowed his head as soon as he saw Yu Cailing, and said with a smile, "Miss."
Yu Cailing nodded, raised her head and smiled: "Fu Yi is back." The middle-aged man raised his long beard and smiled cheerfully, "Young lady, are you going out to play? I just saw the Water Temple in front of me offering sacrifices to the God of Stream, go and have a look. It's good." He turned to his son and said, "Deng, don't go back to the house first, and follow along." The young man whispered, "Well." Then he took off the bridle and handed it to his father, and followed Yu Cailing's group to step on it. The crunching thin snow went out.
This Fu Yi was the husband of the woman, and there were two guards in the past. Yu Cailing heard that they called Fu Yi the head of Fu, so she followed suit. Who knew that Fu Yi was very frightened and refused to live or die. When she saw him for the first time, she saw that he was close to the woman and thought she was the woman's concubine. She wentssips a lot, but who knew she was her legal spouse.
After leaving the courtyard, I walked west for about ten minutes. I could hear the ding-dong of the stream and the clamor of people. I saw a small stream about ten meters wide in front of me. The depth is only three or four meters. Although it is only a small stream, it has a lot of products. Fish and shrimps are constant throughout the year, which greatly subsidizes the livelihood of the villagers. Therefore, on the shore not far upstream, the three elders of this town led the villagers to build a small shrine to worship the gods of the mountains, forests, streams, and waters.
As soon as she saw the water temple in front of her, Amei pulled Yu Cailing and ran in, took out two five baht coins and bought a bamboo tube of earthen incense from the old witch at the door, and bought some from the girl who sold the basket. Yu Cailing couldn't name the fruit. But the girl saw that Fu Deng was so handsome, and threw an orange at him, looking at him with a smile; Fu Deng's face was immediately redder than the orange. But Ah Mei smiled and said, "My brother is about to get married!" Yu Cailing teased, "Since you like him, why do you still charge us for fruit?" The girl said cheerfully, "Although he is handsome, my family still has to eat. ." All the villagers, Yu Cailing and others laughed.
The so-called shrine is a big house with two main rooms stacked on top of each other. The villagers have seen Yu Cailing and his party several times. They only know that she is the daughter of a large family nearby, so they let them in. A room in front was filled with cigarette smoke, and I saw a few grotesque and ferocious statues standing on the high platform. Guanyin was not like Guanyin, and Uncle Ye was not like Uncle Ye. There were a few pools of blood on the feet of the statues. The wooden basin holds three or five chickens and ducks that are still dead and kicking their legs - Yu Cailing shook her head for the nth time. This year, the statues of the gods have been made so horribly, and the way of worship is so primitive and crude, how can believers enter the selfless worship and pay for it Take out feelings. She wished that she could teach these shamans to make several statues of kind-hearted gods, put some flowers and goldfish, and make some pretense to sing and recite scriptures, so as to ensure that the business is prosperous and that the money flows to the three rivers.
But this was obviously just her own idea. The women, children, and children around her were obviously very useful. They either knelt down or stood solemnly with their hands folded and chanted. Amei quickly handed a few incense sticks in her hands and pulled her to kneel on the straw mat.
Yu Cailing sighed with emotion that the last time she worshipped in her last life was to climb the mountain with three roommates. The four little girls bowed down to the statue of Sanqing devoutly. The text message girl prayed that she could get a full scholarship at the end of the term, and the blogger prayed for the next door she had a crush on. Ban handsome can quickly break up with his girlfriend and then fall in love with himself at first sight. Kou Kou hopes to get an internship opportunity in NZND company in advance, and she requests that the 11th edition of the application for joining the party written just the day before can pass the test - uncle said, if she joins, she will give She bought a notebook.
After praying again and again, the four of them recited Ami Tofu in unison and went out to play happily, not paying attention to the strange expression of the old woman kneeling beside her.
After Yu Cailing paid her respects, she put in the incense and sighed softly. From this point of view, that worship was still very effective. She died bravely in her previous life. If she hadn't died, would she still be unable to join the party? ! I don't know if the three roommates' wishes have come true. Yu Cailing deeply hated her bad luck, and the cooked ducks flew away, so she sternly refused Amei to ask her to go into a main room inside to listen to the latest prophecy from the sorcerer.
The last time he saw that sorcerer, he even tricked Yu Cailing into doing a witch thing to go sneaking around. He probably also heard that Yu Cailing was a young lady who was driven out by the elders. Bah, when she's a club. Even if she is rich, she would rather learn from her humble nouveau riche father to save Fengchen, rather than relying on the gods. Saving Fengchen can make a contribution to a harmonious society.
"Everyone said that the sorcerer inside was effective." A Mei said as she pulled Yu Cailing's sleeve, Yu Cailing said with a serious face, "It's really so powerful, the dignitaries have been invited, and are they still in this small place?" Actually Later, Dad Liang Bo's business expanded, and he began to believe in these gods, but the key is to find those who are really capable, so as not to put in the wrong incense burner and worship the wrong god.
"It's hard to say. My mother told us that the Immortal Yan who met His Majesty the Emperor refused to be an official. Now he lives in seclusion in the countryside and only fishes in furs every day." Amei is quite knowledgeable.
Fu Deng said dissatisfiedly: "That Yan Shenxian was originally a master of classics, and he was a first-class scholar a few decades ago. The face-to-face explanation is just for leisure, and he is not a sorcerer." A
Mei She had no choice but to promise to go to the stream to play with a sad face. Xiao Aliang was very happy, so Yu Cailing took her sister and brother out of the temple and went to the stream.
The stream is full of children and teenagers, laughing and joking. At this time, the folk customs are simple and simple, and children's things are just flying flat stones on the water surface, enduring the bone-cold water to touch a few blunt little crabs and shrimps. The extravagant is nothing more than stepping and playing in the stream with homemade high-footed clogs. Seeing Amei Aliang and her brother playing on the shore, Yu Cailing took a few steps back, looked around, and saw a large boulder that was dried by the sun, so she sat on it, and Fu Deng quietly followed to the side, no make a statement.
Yu Cailing glanced at him, she was calm and never said a word unless she had something important to do. Of the three children, only Fu Deng followed her—in other words, it was very difficult for her to inquire about her own situation, Ameah Liang Taixiao didn't answer what he asked, but the governors were all gourds.
This is a very superstitious society. It took only a few days for Yu Cailing to find out after coming here.
When he recovered from his illness, Ramie invited two sorcerers to sing and dance to repay the gods; and built a new kitchen in the courtyard, Ramie killed another lamb and offered several plates of fruit to the kitchen master; It was snowing heavily, and Ramie sacrificed two jars of winter wine with a solemn expression, and he didn't know whether it was to stop the snow or let it fall a little more. A pair of live chickens and ducks. Although Yu Cailing has never seen any sacrifice, she still doesn't dare to ask questions easily. The most pitiful thing is that she doesn't even know the name of this body.
From the front came A Mei's shouting and laughing, as if a boy had bullied A Liang. A Mei picked up a piece of unmelted ice from the grass and stuffed it into the back of the boy's neck to vent his anger on his younger brother. The boy was like a shrimp. Jumping and screaming, the children laughed.
Yu Cailing also smiled, but in fact she was very grateful to the Ramie family.
More than a dozen days ago, although she was groggy, she could feel that the surrounding environment was not good. There was a hard board and thin cotton wool under her body. The surrounding room was cold and damp, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell. But since the ramie came, all the clothes and bedding have been changed into warm and thick good materials, and some rural women have been found to work together to bring a large stove to warm up, and the whole house is baked warmly. After cleaning it several times, Ramie took the lit wormwood and smoked such a large room inch by inch, and inspected it carefully, I was afraid that there were still small insects and ants. Sunburn nourishes Yu Cailing. In this way, her illness only improved day by day, but Ramie became tired and thin.
But a life-threatening disease is not so easy to cure, especially in ancient times when the level of medical care was low. Today, Yu Cailing is in such a good mood, and from time to time she feels qi deficiency and cannot walk fast, so she can only pace slowly. In order to make her happy, Ramie also found an ox cart and asked two guards to take her and Amei for a walk in the countryside.
Although Yu Cailing didn't understand the ancient rules very well, she also knew that the servants of the big families were always more senior, but there was definitely a problem with such a strict and careful woman like Ramie who only lived in the countryside.
Once you have come, you will be at peace. People always have to live before they can think about how to live well, and then they will feel lonely and cold after leaving their hometown. Yu Cailing's nature is selfish and practical. Sad cells are almost like an endangered species. Kung fu hurts the spring and sad the autumn.
