Suona sound deep in the mountains

Walk back along the gravel road beside the river. After about five miles, the river gradually widens and looks like a big lake.There are several hills floating in the lake. The trees on the hills are dense, the smoke and fog are locked, and they are hazy and drifting, just like Penglai fairy mountains and mirages.I was attracted by this fairyland-like picture, and thought to myself, if I can row a small boat in the lake, Uncle Fu and I will ride in the boat, let Uncle Fu sit in the middle, and I will paddle at the stern, saying something that belongs only to the two of us How nice it would be to walk with ease and go home all the time!

Uncle Fu seemed to have seen through my thoughts, stopped and looked at the water surface in the lake, as if fascinated.I also stopped and stood beside Uncle Fu. Uncle Fu stretched out his hand to hold my shoulder, patted my head lovingly, and said, "Let's not walk anymore, we will go back by boat."?

I looked up at Uncle Fu in surprise, and said, "Really? Can we go back by boat?"?

"Yes." Uncle Fu said: "When we came here in the morning, we led a cow and couldn't take a boat, we could only walk. Now it's just the two of us, so of course we can take a boat. And taking a boat will not only avoid walking If you are tired, you can even catch up to the straight road of more than twenty miles!"?

But I couldn't see any boat in sight, not even a raft.

Uncle Fu also seemed to know my doubts, and said: "There is a house over there, which is dedicated to renting out boats on the reservoir, so we will rent boats."?

When they came to that family's house, the boatman was a middle-aged couple, and they answered in a long voice, they seemed to be familiar with Uncle Fu, as soon as Uncle Fu entered the house, the man said: "Brother, are you here again today? I haven't seen you for a long time." Seeing that we are together, he said: "This little brother is so delicate. Why have I never seen you before? You are like two fathers and sons. Are you your nephew?" Uncle Fu said "Yes, it's my nephew. It's his first time here." The man said, "No wonder we haven't met." He turned his head and told the woman, "Hurry up and cook. The uncle and nephew will leave after eating." "The woman looked ugly, but she was as enthusiastic as the man, and immediately moved a stool for us to sit on.Uncle Fu said: "Brother Hu, let's not disturb the meal. We still have to borrow a boat. It's still early, and we have to rush back early."?

The man surnamed Hu said: "Cooking is very fast. Why is it so busy? You can go on your way when you are full. You can take a boat from here to the dam, and there are still more than [-] miles to go when you get off the boat. Why are you, Brother Ang, being polite to me? Besides, this little nephew is still a first-timer." Uncle Fu saw that the kindness was hard to turn down, so he stopped insisting.The women went to work under the stove, while the men talked with us.He looked at me seriously for a while, and said, "How old is my nephew? Where did you go to college? He's so refined?" Uncle Fu looked at me with a smile, feeling very proud, and asked, "You How old is he?" The man surnamed Hu said: "I think he is in his early twenties?" I also secretly felt it was funny, and I looked at Uncle Fu, their eyes were full of ambiguity, even obscenity.Uncle Fu said: "You have a good eye. But you are not studying at university, but working outside. You have never been at home." "Are you married yet?" Uncle Fu said, "You are married." :? "So young. What can I do to marry a wife? If I have no choice, please ask your uncle for help. He has never had a wife in his life, and he is as beautiful as you. Your wife will definitely do it." ?The jokes of the mountain people are inseparable from this. Just like the boldness and hospitality of the mountain people, I know it when I open my mouth.It's just that Uncle Fu was embarrassed.He laughed and said, "You're looking for a fight! You've got a lot of money from my brother."?

While talking, the food has been served.It's a bowl of bacon meatballs, and a bowl of yellow bullfrog fried peppers.And a jug of warm wine.Uncle Fu drank with Brother Hu, and I ate alone.Women in the mountains do not eat at the table, but eat under the stove.

Uncle Fu and Brother Hu sift the wine with bowls, one on the left and the other on the right.The two of them drank up a pot of high-quality home-brewed rice wine in a while, and Brother Hu asked his wife to warm it up.Uncle Fu stopped and said, "I've had enough wine. Brother, I still have to take a boat." After saying this, the two of them ate a bowl of rice indiscriminately.After the meal, Uncle Fu said, "Thank you for the wine and rice. Give me a boat, and we're on our way."?

Brother Hu unlocked a small boat and gave Uncle Fu the key.Uncle Fu paid his boat rent.Brother Hu, no.Uncle Fu pressed it to him, and then he took it.We jump on board.As soon as the scull is shaken, the boat swings away leisurely.Brother Hu said from the springboard at the back door of the house: "Be careful. Come drink next time...?"

The boat sails in the middle of the lake, I let Uncle Fu sit in the middle, and I will rock the boat.Uncle Fu asked me: "Can you shake the boat?" I said: "When I just graduated from high school, I went to Jingzhou to dig river sand with the old Wang of Wugang. For almost a year, I was shaking the boat every day! There The current is so fast that we all have to punt across the river. What is this kind of water?" Uncle Fu said: "Then show me." He took a step back, and I stepped forward, holding the paddle with both hands, With a strong hand, I drew a circle, and at the same time, I secretly exerted force with my feet to control the direction of the bow, and the boat obediently moved forward through the waves.

Uncle Fu drank so much wine that he didn't get drunk at all.Unexpectedly, under Uncle Fu's quiet appearance, there is such a huge amount of alcohol.At this moment, he is sitting quietly in the boat, with his slender face and neat clothes, you can't tell from anywhere that he is a farmer doing rough work, a lone man living alone in the mountains.Rather, it looks like a literati, handsome and talented man in Yushu.While shaking the oar, I looked at him carefully, wanting to see his heart.When Uncle Fu saw me looking at him like this, he said, "Roll the boat carefully. Why are you looking at me so long?" I said, "If there are gods in the world, you are." He said, "I am a lonely man, and I am old. It's ugly, how can it be compared with a god." "Uncle Fu," "Hmm—"???

"Do you know why I love you so much?"?

"Why?"

"You are the most beautiful man I have ever seen in this world!"?

"So, you just chased after me?"

"Yes!"

"But I'm old. I can't give you anything when I'm old and fading."?

"I don't ask you anything. As long as I can look at you like this every day and know that your thoughts are the same as mine, I will be satisfied."?

"But?--"??

"But what?"???

"But you are a family man. If we do this, it will destroy your family. And if people find out, we will be stabbed in the back."???

"Is that why you refused to get along with me at the beginning?"

"Shuishan—"????

"Um."?

"Actually, I really want to be with you, like other husbands and wives, sleep together in the same bed. We will not be separated for a day. But how can this be possible!...?? I'm afraid I will kill you in the end..."? ??

"I'm not afraid, as long as we are careful, we won't be discovered."?

"Being a thief?"

"If we don't become thieves, we can still get married? You really are."?

"But, as soon as I see you, I want you."?

"As long as you want, I will give it."?

……

The lake on the top of this mountain is actually a natural reservoir.The name is Dashuitian Reservoir.It surrounds Baima Mountain with half a circle, making Baima Mountain float in the water like an island.We live on the other side of the island.When the boat arrived on the dam, we stopped the boat behind a family's house.The host also warmly greeted Uncle Fu.We locked the boat, entered the house from the gangway behind the house, and handed over the key.The person in charge of the boat asked us to stay for a rest, but Uncle Fu said "No" and hurried on his way.There are still more than twenty miles of trails.If you take the dry road, you will not be able to catch up fast.We take our time.Talking while walking.Uncle Fu said, "Shuishan, won't your mother live in the same room with you?" I asked, "What's the matter?" The father and son went to the hospital. You asked the villagers to help carry the sedan chair. You haven’t invited them to dinner yet. There are also people who have come to visit us, and I have never served a meal. We can’t be so ignorant. I want to invite everyone here Going to the mountains to have a meal, and asking so many people to walk such a long way just for a meal is not a good idea. So I just want to have a meal at your house and invite everyone, wouldn't it be more convenient?"?

I said, "My mother hasn't been home for a long time. She probably won't come back anytime soon. It's good to cook at my house. I'll help you."?

Uncle Fu said: "I know you will agree."?

Walking on the rugged mountain road, you can't be impatient, you have to walk steadily step by step, keep your eyes on the road, and don't play wild eyes.Otherwise, if you don't pay attention, you will be in danger of falling off the cliff if you step on the ground.Therefore, when mountain people walk, their eyes are looking at the road, their heads are hooked, and their bodies are leaning forward.Uncle Fu and I were talking while walking, the mountain road of more than twenty miles was enough to talk about.I thought of Uncle Fu's performance in the cattle factory today, so I asked him about his experience.Uncle Fu said: "When looking at a cow, first look at its teeth. The number of its teeth determines its worth. The least is six teeth, six teeth and six are difficult, which means that a cow with six teeth cannot pass the age of six. Big limit. At the age of six, you will die. Seven teeth hit the official square, which means that if a cow with seven teeth is raised at home, the owner will have a lawsuit with others. The good is not too bad. Ordinary cattle have eight teeth. When nine teeth enter the farm, it means that the owner of the nine-toothed cattle will definitely buy fields and land, and the family business will prosper. As for ten-toothed cattle, it is hard to find. When it arrives, it is a priceless treasure. So it is the bull king."?

I said, "I can understand these few sentences once I understand them in this way. How can there be any other circles?"?

Uncle Fu said: "The pens of a cow should be born straight. Some circles are born between the two eyebrows, which are called eyes with eyebrows. This kind of cow is fierce and aggressive, and it will die when it is fierce. One kind of circle is born on both sides of the belly. One on each side, this is called a bar-lifting circle. The Lord’s cattle either died of violence or disease, and they had to be carried home with poles. There are also mountain-drilling circles, fence-sweeping circles, wearing sackcloth and filial piety, etc. You have to know all of them before you can go. Be a cattle dealer."

"Uncle Fu, how do you know this?" I asked.

"My current cow has been fed for 13 years and has given birth to ten calves. I go to Matang Mountain every year to sell a cow. Before feeding this cow, I also fed several other cows. I and Dad's expenses mainly come from here. Do you think I can't understand cattle?" Uncle Fu told me without reservation.

"So, what did you and Grandpa Seven eat on the mountain?"?

"I planted fields and vegetable fields. I also raised chickens and ducks, so I ate them naturally."?

Uncle Fu casually pulled up a medicinal herb under the bushes by the roadside. The grass was thin and thin, with a single stem growing straight up, with some smooth leaflets growing on both sides.He handed me the grass and said, "Do you know this grass?"?

I took it over and looked at it carefully, and it seemed to be seen often, but I couldn't name it.Uncle Fu said: "This is Huang Jing. It is also called Immortal Surplus Grain. It is for the people in the mountains to save the famine. In ancient times, when there was a catastrophe and famine in the world, countless people outside the mountains starved to death. People in the mountains could dig Huang Jing and eat it. Survive the famine without starving to death. My father and I survived by relying on this thing for the first ten years. At that time, I had to dig whenever I had time. After digging, wash it with water, and eat it after cooking. It is sweet, smooth and tender, very delicious. Besides serving as food, it also has the effect of curing diseases. It is very useful.”?

I asked, "Uncle Fu, how much do you know about the wild medicines in the mountains?"

Uncle Fu said, "I don't know how many. I can almost recognize them all, right?"

"Then you tell me to recognize herbs. Okay?"

"Is there anything good or bad? As long as I know, I will tell you."?

"Then what do you know?"

"Well, first of all, I know how to cure bruises. That is, bruises. This is a secret medicine that is not passed on."?

"anything else?"?

"There is also tuberculosis medicine. This is passed down from our ancestors. If you don't learn it, it will be discontinued if it gets into my hands!"?

"What is consumption?" I've never heard of it.

Uncle Fu said: "It's tuberculosis. Ten tuberculosis and nine deaths. This disease was an incurable disease in ancient times. How many people died. Our ancestors accidentally got this secret recipe, and it has been handed down to me for four generations."?

What Uncle Fu said was something I had never heard of before, and it all made me novel and excited.I used to learn knowledge only from books.Unexpectedly, there are absolutely no such things in books.

Uncle Fu opened another mysterious door for me. ?
