Seven Evil Slips:
That night, in Xiaoshanghe, while painting and painting, sweat broke out on Shisan's forehead.
The reason why he dared to draw blindly is because the painter not only sees with his eyes, but also has a score in his heart, stroke by stroke, even if it is not accurate, he roughly knows what the painting is about.
He is too familiar with the image drawn by each stroke.
My hometown is by the sea, but there are few waves. It is more like a calm tidal flat. When building the ancestral hall, he spent a lot of time tinkering and hammering. At that time, he was only seven or eight years old. , exposed flesh, when walking, had to reach out and hold it.
He doesn't know the fairy who guides the way, the fairy who rides a phoenix, the lion who can swallow tigers and leopards, the bullfight who can fly clouds and spread rain, and he doesn't know them all. Great Sage!"
The final disappointing discovery is that Sun Wukong doesn't have wings.
The ancestral hall was completed in March, just in time for offering sacrifices to the **** of the sea, relying on the sea to eat the sea. The fairy guides the way like a group of lonely and shrinking villains.
Looking at the sacrificial altar, the three animals used for offering sacrifices to the gods, bull's head, pig's head, and sheep's head, have bloodstains on their necks, and they can't stand their eyes when they die.
The old patriarch held incense, the smoke seemed to be floating on top of his head, murmured in his mouth that pearls were born, and the belly of a clam was reflected in the moon, and the salty smell of the sea breeze was blowing on his face. With grains of salt.
13,000 grumbled and thought: What a horrible place! I don't wait.
Sure enough, he couldn't stay there anymore. When he was wandering around, he was often asked where his hometown was. According to the needs of the situation, he made various excuses, sometimes in Beijing and Shanghai, and sometimes in Shenyang and Changchun.
I never thought that one day, I would honestly say these words: "Guangxi, Hepu."
Actually, it's not Hepu, it's just a hidden and closed village on the 180-mile water belt, but it's so unknown, he even thought that they don't even know where Hepu is.
Unexpectedly, Luo Ren nodded: "Lei Lian Prefecture, two pearl pools, and the construction of ancestral halls, people in your hometown are begging for pearls?"
13,000 nodded unexpectedly.
Leizhou and Lianzhou are actually ancient names. Leizhou Prefecture refers to Haikang, Guangdong, and Lianzhou Prefecture refers to Hepu, Guangxi. The two places are rich in pearls. In ancient times, they were called the two "pearl ponds" in China.
Great China, two pearls, just thinking about it makes me feel full of ambition.
Among the two pearl pools, Hepu is especially the most precious. An old saying goes that "Hepu and Khotan travel 20,000 miles apart, and the pearls are here, and the jade is there."
It means that Hepu in Guangxi and Hotan in Xinjiang are about 20,000 miles apart. Here, pearls rule the roost, while jade stands proudly there.
Being able to confront Hetian Yunanbei without losing color shows Hepuzhu's worth.
Thirteen took out the folded drawing paper from the inner pocket of his clothes and handed it to Luo Ren.
The creases on the paper are already deep, and the corners of the paper have been scratched. It must have been a while. Luo Ren unfolded it and looked at it.
"There are very few animals with ten animals on the horn ridge. Even if there is a place to imitate them, they will not be everywhere. Especially in the end, there is something missing...so I knew where it was as soon as I drew it. .”
Luo Ren stared at him: "Then why did you hide it?"
Thirteen smiled mockingly: "That ghost place."
He changed into an indifferent expression again: "I don't want to talk about it, what's the matter?"
***
For some reasons, I don't want to say it, but I gave up concealing it for Pin Ting. Fortunately, I hope it's not too late to make up for it.
Luo Ren quickly made a decision: "Tell me the exact location of the village, and I will go there."
It was just a simple request, but Tensan hesitated for a long time, Kiyo urged him: "Give it to him, isn't it a place?"
"Little lady boss, it's not what you think, it's hard to get in."
Kiyo just stared at him and said, "Why is it difficult to get in, are wolves and tigers guarding him?"
Thirteen ignored her, as if weighing something: "Either way, Luo Ren, I will go with you, but I have conditions."
"What condition?"
"Keep me safe, absolutely safe."
Kiyo thumped in his heart: Ten-man's expression doesn't look like a fake, the day and night are bright, and he's back to his hometown again, can someone do anything to him?
13,000 turned to Kiyo again: "Miss Boss, this counts as my business trip. I can't deduct my wages."
The implication is: You have already given less, and if you deduct it, I am really blind.
Luo Ren nodded: "Time waits for no one, you go back and pack up first, after the arrangements are made here, we will try to leave tomorrow."
We? The word "we" does not include her, right? Luo Ren is not going to invite her? Kiyo felt empty in his heart, feeling that he was being left out.
She thought for a while and said, "Then be careful on the way, I will come and take care of Pin Ting."
Uncle Zheng would definitely not be able to cope with Ping Ting's situation, and Luo Ren was not around, so Kiyo took it for granted that he would take care of Ping Ting.
Luo Ren gave her a strange look: "I have already said how to arrange Pin Ting."
Thirteenth is a little impatient: "Are you going to lock her up?"
"Otherwise? Can Kiyo keep watch over Pinting 24 hours a day? What if he can't? What if the danger of Pinting exceeds our imagination?"
Luo Ren sneered: "Don't forget, there is a **** thing in her body that has lived for thousands of years!"
13000 stopped talking.
Luo Ren's approach was indeed difficult for him to accept, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of a better way.
That's the only way to go, one day counts as one day, he didn't want to waste any more time, so he hurried back to pack his things.
But Muyo didn't leave, he bit his lips and watched Luo Ren tear off the red threads that filled the room, and he mustered up his courage to say: "Luo Ren, I can also be with you."
She hurriedly explained: "Didn't 13,000 say that he wanted to ensure his safety? Maybe it's dangerous there. He doesn't even know kung fu. It would be much better if I was here, at least..."
At least, if a situation similar to tonight's happened again, she could climb a wall to help, unlike 13,000 who was blocked outside the door and was helpless.
Luo Ren shook his head: "No need."
Kiyo couldn't describe his mood, what was it like, like that time when he was holding a peach full of joy, waiting for his mother to taste the first bite, but he never waited; like when he was in school, in order to be selected into the The Mathematics Olympiad class worked desperately to solve the problems, but she was not on the final list.
That feeling of being left out, of being excluded.
She didn't give up: "When Xiaoshanghe was in Xiaoshanghe, you let me go too."
Luo Ren didn't understand Muyo's paranoia: Is this something that everyone is fighting for?
He patiently explained to her: "It was different in Xiaoshanghe. At that time, Huo Zihong was involved, and you were indirectly related. Moreover, I admit, I have selfish intentions to use you. You are good at kung fu. I just want to let you know." You help."
She really only listens to what she wants to hear: "I can still help this time."
"This incident has nothing to do with you at all. Pin Ting has an accident, she is my family, and I should run for her. If the matter is dangerous, I don't want to involve you. Besides, you have your own Things to do, Uncle Zhang will be unhappy if you ran around shortly after you came back from Xiaoshanghe."
Uncle Zhang is not happy if he is not happy, anyway, he is often unhappy.
Kiyo stood with his head down, neither saying good nor bad, even the hair was written with the word "stubborn". People, but Kiyo can't, she will cry.
Besides, he used up all the handkerchiefs he bought last time.
He had no choice but to give in: "Well, Muyo, let me think about it again. If Uncle Zhang agrees, you can just go out and play..."
There should be many interesting places in Hepu, so let's take her out to play, Huaxia Pearl Pool, it's also good to buy a pearl.
Kiyo raised his face to look at him: "Really? You won't drive away with 13,000 secretly?"
Her eye circles were a little red, her eyes were bright, the stamina of grievance was gone, but there was a little secret joy, I really wanted to hug her, or rub the top of her hair, or scratch her nose.
I seem to like her more than I imagined, what should I do? Do you really take her to face each other day and night?
Luo Ren felt that it was necessary to seriously consider the maneuverability of driving away with 13,000.
***
13,000 quickly packed his luggage. He doesn't have much stuff, so it's best to leave as soon as he speaks. Anyway, all things outside the body can be bought with money. As for money, it can be obtained by earning money or cheating. .
It's been a long night, guarding a luggage bag, what are you doing?
He lay down on the bed for a while, went into the bar in the dark, and came back with half a bottle of wine under his arm.
Don't care what it tastes like, whether it's expensive or not, just drink it.
He gulped down a big gulp, like drinking water.
The village is called "Five Beads Village". It sounds silly, but it actually has a history. At that time, the old patriarch was surrounded by a group of children. , Snake beads are in the mouth, fish beads are in the eyes, shark beads are in the skin, turtle beads are in the feet, these are all fake, the real ones must be old clams! But our village is called Wuzhu, no matter what kind of beads you have, You can have any color!"
In legend, pearls can be produced in the jaws of dragons, inside the belly of snakes, in the eyes of fish, in the skin of sharks, and in the feet of turtles. Pearls come out of oyster shells.
Additionally, this Wuzhu Village is probably among the oldest villages in southern China.
"Qin Shihuang unified Lingnan, set up Xiang County, and our Wuzhu Village has existed since then. We have been picking pearls for generations. No matter how chaotic the current situation is, we will not starve to death! But those outside the village, picking too frequently , I can only see money in my eyes, and the mussels in this area will be harvested! If the pond is exhausted, there will be no pearls in this sea in the future!"
The whole village is crazy about pearls, offering sacrifices to the **** of the sea, robbing the sea area, and fighting on a pearl fishing boat that is wider and rounder than ordinary boats. During the scuffle, many people fell into the sea like dumplings. , Cursing again and grabbing the edge of the boat to continue "participating in the war".
Finally the township police station was alarmed, and several police cars made a detour to the outside of the village.
They all begged for life from the sea, and the fight was so terrible that the people of the two villages lined up on both sides like roosters listening to the people at the police station. Jiang Zhao, Jiang Zhao, where is your father!"
Looking around, I finally thought of going into the water. No one thought that my father would drown. People who fish pearls all the year round can go down hundreds of feet underwater to pick clams. How could they be drowned?
Father's white body soaked in blisters was picked up. A good rider fell, a good swimmer drowned, and a person who had been begging for his life from the sea was begged for his life by the sea.
The windfall brought about by the death of his father is that Wuzhu Village won a big victory in the struggle for land.
But there is no explanation for the fate of the father, and the comrades at the police station are also very helpless in the face of the mother's crying: "Auntie, there are at least dozens of land grabbers, jumping around on the boat, who knows they were pushed down Yes, I still stumbled and stumbled, it is difficult to define responsibility."
On the day the urn was brought back, my mother cried until she died, and said, "Poor people who beg for the sea are burned to ashes by fire, so they should be buried in the sea."
She went out with the urn in her arms.
13,000 didn't pay much attention, he was enjoying watching TV by himself, when suddenly he heard the sound of a gong, the old patriarch came in angrily and twisted his ear: "Quick, call your mother back, how about a woman?" Can enter the sea!"
It is a rule for women in Wuzhu Village not to go into the sea. It is said that there is a dragon guarding the pearls in the sea. Every March, it is fed to the sea, and it sleeps comfortably on the bottom of the sea for a year, so that the pearl divers can enter the water safely. Picking clams, but the dragon doesn't like women, and a woman offends it by entering the sea.
The villagers held torches and gathered at the seaside. The water surface was so smooth, and the moonlight poured down on the sea like silver.
Several anxious men hurriedly unfastened the buckle rope of the pearl fishing boat, pushed into the water and prepared to catch up, while Ten Thousand and Thirteen yelled at the beach in a long and short sentence, with a voice like: "Mother, come back, women are not allowed to enter the sea. Ah..."
At this moment, the moonlight is like water, and the flames are flickering. The black sea seems to be sprinkled with countless pieces of gold, and everyone is watching...
The boat capsized suddenly.
