The Most Dazzling National Style of Comprehension

After a confession and a long talk, I feel that all the problems have been solved, and the only thing left is to let time solve everything.Ying Feichi was not afraid of waiting, he had waited a full ten years in Langfeng Sect before he had a chance to leave, why not let him wait two years for Zhou Man now?

What's more, Guanjiang Village is a place suitable for waiting...no, suitable for living.

The village is not very big, with a permanent population of only 200, but it occupies a very large area, with an average of nearly [-] mu of forest per household.A small river gurgled out from the high cliff deep in the mountain, gradually changed from a trickle to a gurgling stream, and then torrented. It joined the big river at the junction of the village and flowed to the county seat dozens of kilometers away.The vast world gives the children the years of freedom like the wind, running up the mountains and down the river every day.

Ying Feichi was regarded as a teacher at first, and students naturally respected and feared teachers.Then he was considered a fool because he went to preschool as a teenager, and in the end, Ying Feichi successfully became the king of children because of his innocence that was finally favored by Zhou Man.

Every morning, white mist surrounds the green hills, which has not been evaporated by the sun.The elementary school was already quiet again, Zhou Man was practicing sword in the yard, Ying Feichi was studying spells with bamboo slices and a knife.When class starts, Ying Feichi will hold a mirror and study by himself, and at the same time help Zhou Man take care of the class he has no time to attend to.During recess, Ying Feichi would play games with the children.

The games in the village are all made from local materials, and there will be no slides without game consoles.What are you playing?Using wormwood to make shuttlecocks, the girls are competing.Delineate the range on the ground, and use the shuttlecock instead of the sandbag to play and smash the sandbag.Draw a line on the ground, a group of people are in the circle, one person guards outside the line, those inside the line have to slide their feet out of the line, people outside the line have to touch the person who slipped out, and the person who is caught loses and replaces the defender. line people.If you don’t have glass marbles, you will search for discarded batteries all over the village, pry off the battery cover, put a battery cover on the ground, and another person will use the battery cover to hit it. If you can knock over the battery cover, you will win the one that fell off battery cover.

Write a strange character on the ground, take five or seven or nine small square stones.First carefully fold it in the palm, then throw it up to the back of the hand and then throw it back to the palm of the hand. You can walk as many steps as you can catch the stones back. Whoever reaches the Tiangong (the center of Tianzi on the top of Tianzi head) first will win.

These small square stones are called "seeds", and there is another way to play it called picking up seeds, and the number is also five, seven, or nine.Squeeze one seed between your index finger and thumb, and hold the others in the palm of your hand.Throw up the pinched seeds, spill the seeds from the palm, and catch the thrown seeds.Then repeat the action of throwing the seeds, and quickly pick up the stones on the ground when the seeds fly away from the hand.Taking five seeds as an example, the stones on the ground should be picked up one by one in the order of 1x4, 2x2, 3-1, 4-0.After going through the process completely, you can throw the seeds. Tossing the seeds means stacking the stones in the palm of your hand, throwing them to the palm of your hand and then throwing them back to your palm.A fixed number of stones is agreed before the game, and the player who accumulates that number of stones first wins.

If you don't like these games, you can also go to the mountains and rivers to play.

There are many fruits on the mountains in autumn. From the early autumn of August in the lunar calendar to the late autumn of October, there is something to eat every month.

August is the stern fruit, an orange fruit, what does it look like?like grapes.It is also vines climbing trees, also in bunches, but not as juicy as grapes, but sweeter than grapes.At the same time as the stern fruit, there is also a dew berry.Dewberries are also vines, but they don't like tall trees like dorsal berries. Every time you pick them, you have to spend a lot of effort to climb the trees.Dew Berry likes broken branches and dead trees. She is a caring and good aunt, very gentle and generous, so the children don't need to use a knife to cut off the vines, they just need to pick them off in bunches.However, the scorpion fruit can be eaten directly, and the taste is sweeter than white sugar, but the dew berry needs to be taken home and cooked. It can be roasted or boiled. Fire roasted is more delicious, fragrant, like boiled chestnuts. It has a nutty waxy fragrance and a little sweetness of fresh fruit.

September is the season of wild grapes.Walking up the mountain, every child who is familiar with the mountain knows where there are wild grapes, whether it is necessary to bring a knife to cut off the vines, and whether it is necessary to climb trees.How many grapes are there on the mountain?In addition to the necessary food for birds, a basket is needed to hold the fruit of a vine.Every time you go up the mountain, several families need to cooperate, because there are so many, the family can't finish it.The grapes are not purely sweet, they are sweet and sour, like red bayberry, they kill teeth invisible, and if you eat too much, you can't even chew the tofu.

What to do with the grapes that can't be eaten?Don't worry, Zhou Man is here.Zhou Man will exchange rice wine from the master, put the rice wine and grapes in a jar and seal it.This is wine, Mr. Ying Feichi is so old and hasn't drunk wine yet. Although the rice wine brewed in the village is rough and not as mellow and long-lasting as the outside, it has a spicy and unrestrained flavor, and the bursts of wine make Ying Feichi drool. saliva.

Zhou Man was defeated by his pitiful eyes, and as soon as his heart softened, he promised: "I will give you a drink when the Chinese New Year is opened."

The little Taoist continued to play happily.

In October, white vines began to grow by the river.White vine fruit is actually not delicious, because its plant is covered with thorns, and a bunch of white vine fruit is picked, and the skin will be scratched by hand.As for the white vine fruit that paid such a high price, the scale-like skin was peeled off, and a thin layer of flesh was removed, leaving only the big seed.Zhou Man never understood what is so delicious about this food since he was a child, but Ying Feichi said: "You don't know, it's fun, who really likes to eat this thing? I might as well go to the river to catch fish, catch shrimp, and pick up snails." !"

Oh, yes, touch fish, catch shrimp, and pick up snails.In autumn, the river is finally gentle and quiet. The shallow water flow is just to protect the life in the river, and it will give abundant gifts to the humans along the river.Fish include oil fish, old kang fish, horn fish, and white belly fish. The small ones are about as long as a finger, and the big ones can weigh several catties. It depends on luck. The bigger the fish, the more they like to hide in the rocks.There are also shrimps who like to hide in the rocks. The green head shrimp is bigger than the thumb, and a few are enough for a meal.But greenhead shrimp like to hide in dark caves, how to catch them?It's dangerous to reach in, and it would be bad if there was a water snake.

At this time, it's time for Chaku to play.

Chaku is the dregs left after the tea seeds are pressed for oil, and they are compacted into pieces.Smash the tea tree into pieces, sprinkle with plant ash, pour water and stir, this is a kind of "poison" specially for fish and shrimp.Put the dried tea in a sack and put it in the river, preferably in the upper reaches of the deep pool, so that the medicine can flow into the deep pool.When the medicine pervades the entire pool, the fish and shrimps will foolishly run to the shore, and they will not run away, just catch them in the net bag.

As for the snails, the river snails are all attached to the rocks in the shallows, and the round snails are all picked up on the rocks in the deep pool. Just walk and pick them up.There is a local saying: eat snails on the moon, the more you eat, the clearer your eyesight will be.Because Ying Feichi works day and night to make up for all kinds of things in this world, Zhou Man is afraid that the little Taoist priest will be short-sighted in the future-all of them have cultivated the foundation and lived three hundred years, and they are still short-sighted. Can there be anything more embarrassing?

So Zhou Man made snails for Ying Feichi almost every now and then.How do snails do it?Zhou Man's cooking skills are not very good, except for making soup, he only knows how to cook.There are a lot of perilla growing behind the school, as if they exist for snails.The snail soup is very fresh, and Ying Feichi can eat two big bowls of rice at once.As for snails, which are round and round, Zhou Man taught that they should be sucked by the mouth, and the word "嗍" is the local dialect.Ying Feichi couldn't learn at first, and was ridiculed by Tong Mingjian, so Zhou Man helped him make a small bamboo stick to pick screw meat.Ying Feichi didn't dare, and worked hard to improve his skills, and finally practiced the magical skill of snail eating. Together with Zhou Man, he picked up the snail with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and the snail meat went into his mouth with a sizzle.

In addition to drawing spells, Daoist Ying finally has one more skill.

The years are long, leisurely and unremarkable, and it is November in a blink of an eye.
