The Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness of Crossing

Life in a fishing village is plain and warm.The cold comes and the summer goes, and it is almost autumn in a blink of an eye.

The weather was fine that day, and Xiong Panpan was drying his fishing nets in the yard.Suddenly there was a barking of dogs in front of the door, followed by a woman's angry voice: "Go away! Go away! What's your name?"

"Ah Huang, come in." Xiong Panpan walked to the door, put one hand on his hips, and supported the door leaf with the other, facing the visitor, and said with a fake smile, "Wu Ma, the threshold of my house is almost broken by you."

The Wu Mama in front of me is the only matchmaker in the small town. Ever since Panpan was taken ashore by the Xiong family, she has been running to the small yard every three days. None of the "young talents" in China can succeed.Wu Ma didn't feel discouraged at all, on the contrary, she became more and more courageous.There are rules for each line, and based on her nearly 20 years of experience in the industry, she has long concluded that if she wants to make a good job as a matchmaker, she has to be stalking and shameless.

snort!I don't believe that I can't chew on your tough bone!

"Oh!" Mama Wu made up her mind, raised the red handkerchief in her hand, and said with a smirk, "Miss Xiong, for your sake, Mama Wu broke several pairs of shoes!"

"Really." Xiong Panpan's scrutinizing gaze swept across her chubby face, "I'll go to the blacksmith shop in the town tomorrow and make a pair of sturdy ones for Mama Wu."

"Little lady is really good at joking. I'm here to talk about business. Is your godmother at home?" Wu Ma tiptoed her neck, her eyes rolled around, and she couldn't stop glancing into the yard.

Xiong Panpan didn't intend to let her in, so he curled his lips and said, "Godfather and mother-in-law went to the morning market to sell fish. I'll leave Mama Wu's business to another day."

Wu Ma's nose was ashamed, she still had a matchmaker's professional flattering smile on her face, she waved her handkerchief and said, "Then I'll chat with the young lady first. This time I'm talking about someone who is a big family in Xiangyang City , the family is well-off, and his ancestors have been a Jinshi! This son is about the same age as the young lady, and he was born with a good fortune. He has big ears, a high nose and a big mouth, and is white and fat. He is very attractive!"

Looking at Mama Wu who was beaming and spitting, Xiong Panpan's forehead was reborn with a black line: You speak like a pig...

Seeing her bowing her head in silence, Mama Wu thought that what she had said had touched her heart, so she clapped her hands and said proudly, "How is it, young lady? Mama Wu's vision is unmistakable!"

Xiong Panpan raised his chin, looked down at her and said, "Where is that kid? Is he not as tall as me?"

As if someone had tapped her acupuncture points, Mama Wu was stunned for a while, put the handkerchief into her sleeve, and replied shyly, "It's just a little short..." Seeing Xiong Panpan holding his arms, with an impatient expression on his face, she hastily added , "My son is still young, at least he can grow two more years!"

Xiong Panpan waved his hands at her and said, "Then let's talk about it after two years." After saying that, he closed the door with a "bang", and went back to the courtyard to continue tidying the fishing nets.

Wu Ma still didn't give up, and was about to knock on the door to say a few more words, when there were bursts of laughter like silver bells behind her.Looking back, it turned out that it was several fishermen's girls nearby, who had rushed to the outside of the Xiong's courtyard wall at some point, all of them were laughing so hard that they couldn't stand upright.

"Mother Wu, if you step on someone's threshold, you will have to pay for it!"

"Wu Ma! Wu Ma! That rich man you mentioned just now, is he surnamed Zhu?"

"Nice girl!" Wu Ma stretched out a finger towards them, poked them one by one, and said angrily, "I remember you! I won't match you in the future, so that you all grow old." You can't get married at home!"

"Oh! Sisters, what should I do if I can't get married?"

"I don't know, I'm really anxious!"

The girls were very playful, and they sang an opposite scene with Mama Wu.

"Hmph! I'm too lazy to talk to you!" Mama Wu gave them a glare and left angrily.

Everyone cheered and jumped forward, knocked on the door and said: "Sister Panpan! Open the door quickly! The matchmaker has been chased away by us!"

"Sister Panpan! Come out and play!"

Xiong Panpan heard the voices of some playmates in the village, put down his work, and rushed to open the door.As soon as a crack in the door was opened, two young girls about thirteen or fourteen rushed over impatiently, hanging her arms from left to right and shaking them: "Sister Panpan, let's go boating on Xiaojing Lake together!"

Xiong Panpan looked up at the sky. The sky was clear, like the scorching sun. He couldn't help but frowned and said, "What are you going to do in Xiaojing Lake on a very hot day? There is no shelter, and you will get sunstroke if you carefully tan."

The two girls snorted and said coquettishly, "Go! Go!"

Xiong Panpan pretended to have a serious face and said, "Yunyang, Xiaojuan, don't mess around!"

The two curled their lips and turned to another older girl as if asking for help.

"Sister Tao, sister Panpan refuses to go!"

"Yes! Sister Tao, help us persuade her!"

The delicate girl called "Sister Peach" pursed her lips and chuckled softly, "Sister Panpan, I heard Uncle Fu say that the water chestnuts of Xiaojing Lake are growing well, and it is the freshest water chestnut right now." Time, if you don't pick it, you will be an elder."

"Eh?" Xiong Panpan quickly circled in his mind the beautiful images of roasted pork ribs with water chestnut, braised chicken with water chestnut, and stewed delicacies with water chestnut, swallowed a mouthful, and said, "I'll come with a bamboo hat."

Everyone clapped their hands and applauded, singing and laughing all the way to Xiaojing Lake.

The Han River passes through a dense water network, and Xiaojing Lake is formed by the damming of one of its tributaries. It is far away from the beautiful Mulanwu, with blue colors like washing and a mirror-like level.

A row of willow-leaf boats for picking lotus pods was leaning on the shore, and the girls were in a group of two. It was Xiong Panpan's turn, and it happened that he was alone.She didn't take it seriously, she shook the oar, and rowed towards the depths of the lake.The white water chestnut flowers have withered in sevens and eighties, and the green stems are covered with small ingot-like young water chestnuts, one after another, red and toot, it is gratifying to see.

Anyone who eats food always has a heart of perseverance.Xiong Panpan drove a small boat across the lake, pulling east and west for more than half an hour, and the water chestnuts on the deck were piled up like hills.

Yunyang and Xiaojuan were on the same boat, caught a glimpse from a distance, and shouted enviously: "Sister Panpan, you are amazing! One person picked more than the two of us!"

Xiong Panpan was so tired that he was sweating profusely. He took off his bamboo hat, rolled up his sleeves, fanned the wind, and smiled triumphantly: "Of course! I haven't stopped picking it since I got on the boat. The two of you It's a shame that you're only so young. Tell me! Where did you hang out?"

Yunyang and Xiaojuan, you push me, I push you, giggled, pointed at each other and said, "Say it! Say it!"

A Tao carried A Xiang, slowly drew closer and said, "Let me tell you. The two of them swam to Shiji in the east of the lake. There was a fisherman sitting there fishing, and the two of them would swing a boat nearby. Swinging back and forth, it scares the fish away."

Xiong Panpan laughed happily: "It doesn't matter if the fish are scared away, as long as the people are not scared away by you!"

"How come?" Yunyang blushed anxiously, jumped to the bow of the boat, pointed to the distant lakeshore and said, "Look! People are still there!"

Xiong Panpan stretched out his hand to build an awning on his forehead, and looked in the direction she pointed, there was indeed a person sitting on the rocky rock, wearing a green clothes and a bamboo hat, vaguely and indistinctly visible.

"Come, come!" Xiong Panpan turned his head and saw all the sisters gathered together, sitting on the side of the boat, clapping their hands and saying, "I'll teach you to sing a tune."

Xiaojuan asked curiously, "Sister Panpan can also sing?"

"Nonsense." Xiong Panpan squinted at her, patted his chest and said, "Why don't you know, Miss Panpan?"

A Tao and A Xiang held back their laughter and said, "Sing quickly! Sing quickly!"

"Listen up!" Xiong Panpan looked affectionately at the pile of water chestnuts on the bow, and sang in a rambling voice, "The two of us rowed the boat, picking red water chestnuts, picking red water chestnuts. Definitely..." Suddenly, After a pause, he let out a breath and said, "Oh, it's turned up."

The girls on several boats hugged each other with laughter.

"Cough...Hello..." Xiong Panpan glanced at the crowd with resentment, cleared his throat and came again, "We two are rowing, picking red water chestnuts, and picking red water chestnuts. It's so good, you have love, so good My sister has a heart, just like two water chestnuts, born on the same day, we two have one heart. Row the boat to the center of the lake, you can see it clearly, the lake is clear, and the two shadows are like two water chestnuts, never Separation, we are bound together."

The crowd beat the time and hummed along: "Yes, the man is affectionate, and the younger sister has the heart..."

"Hey!" Yunyang suddenly pointed at everyone and kept laughing, "We are all girls here, there is no man."

Xiaojuan patted her on the shoulder and pouted towards the east of the lake, "Here. Isn't there a fisherman over there?"

A Xiang peeled the water chestnut and said: "It's okay, you two girls wandered around there for a long time, can you see what the family looks like?"

"Of course I saw it!" Yunyang gestured, "In his twenties, he is taller than Sister Panpan, and he looks really good."

A Tao whispered softly: "Yo, how good is it? Don't have big ears, high nose and big mouth?"

"Bah, bah, bah!" Yunyang stomped his feet angrily, "That's not it!"

Seeing them bickering and making fun, Xiong Panpan was so happy that he almost fell into the lake.

Xiaojuan interjected: "I didn't see clearly whether the person is good-looking or not. But the two red eyes he caught are really applauded, and one of them weighs three to four catties at least."

Ah Xiang clicked her tongue and said, "A red eye that weighs three or four catties? It must be a foot long? Red eyes swim fast, but it's hard to catch the bait. The biggest one my father caught this year was only more than two catties. Mother picked it." Mushrooms, we stewed a pot of soup together, my two gluttonous younger brothers snatched up half of the food, and my father gave me a good beating."

"Such a big red eye is delicious as fish sticks! What a waste of stew!" Xiong Panpan sucked his saliva, with the look of your family tyranny.

A Xiang said indifferently: "The red eyes are thorny and fleshy. Besides Tianxianglou's Big Dangtou in our town, who has that kind of sword skill, can you make a piece?"

"Hey! I'm so hungry!" Yunyang knocked on the side of the boat impatiently, and after a quick brainstorm, he came up with an idea and said loudly, "Sisters, let's row over and buy fish from him, shall we?"

"Okay! Okay!" Xiong Panpan was the first to agree, and then asked, "How much does the red eye sell for a catty in the market?"

A Tao replied: "It's more expensive than carp, about sixty Wen."

"Yeah." Xiong Panpan nodded, and said to Yunyang, "You go and ask him if he will sell it for fifty cents, and if he refuses to sell it, then slowly increase it, you understand?"

"Got it, got it." Yunyang waved at them, shook the willow-leaf boat, and quickly headed to the east of the lake.

Everyone giggled and followed behind, Xiong Panpan picked the most red water chestnuts, and no one changed hands with her, so she slowly fell to the end.

Yunyang drove the boat close to the shore of the lake, and asked the young man who was fishing on the rock, "Brother, how did you sell the red-eyed fish you caught first?"

The younger generation looked down at the fish floating in the water, a bamboo hat covered most of his face, and slowly uttered two words: "Not for sale."

Yunyang couldn't help bending down, looking up from bottom to top to see what the face hidden behind the bamboo hat looked like.

The young fisherman obviously noticed her small movements and pulled the bamboo hat even lower.

Yunyang only saw a part of his chin, and asked rather discouragedly, "You have caught so much and you can't finish it yourself, why don't you sell it?"

Hou Sheng's voice was as calm as a lake: "No reason."

Yun Yang pouted and said, "You are so strange."

The young man stopped answering, got up to pack his fishing line and rod, and prepared to leave.

Yunyang looked back disappointed and said, "Sisters, this big brother won't sell it!"

Hearing this, the young man froze his gestures, shook his head slightly, turned his back and continued to adjust the fishing line.

A Tao regretfully replied: "If you can't buy it, forget it, let's go back."

Xiong Panpan caught up with the crowd, and when he heard A Tao say that he couldn't buy fish, his heart was quite shocked, and he complained: "Sixty yuan a catty, still not willing to sell? How much does he want?"

The young man shrugged his shoulders suddenly, whether it was excitement or fear, the hands holding the thread trembled uncontrollably.

Yunyang and Xiaojuan looked at each other, spread their hands, and shook their heads.

As a senior foodie, Xiong Panpan not only has a persevering heart, but also an indomitable passion.She rolled the boat to the foot of the rock, and asked with her face up, "Brother Yulang, can you sell me your red eyes for seventy cents a catty?" Seeing that Yulang stood still, she said, "Now the town The morning market has already closed, if you sell it in the evening market, you may sell it for seventy yuan."

A Tao reminded her from behind: "Sister Panpan, this big brother is not fishing for sale."

Yo... If you catch it, don't sell it, what you catch is your feelings... Xiong Panpan had an idea, leaned over and grabbed a handful of red water chestnuts, and asked, "Brother Yulang, can I exchange fresh water chestnuts with you?" ?”

Yu Lang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, loosened his shoulders and back, gently put down the fishing line, turned to the person he was dreaming of, and slowly removed the bamboo hat on his head, revealing a handsome face.

Xiong Panpan's eyes widened in disbelief, and the water chestnut in her hand fell into the water. She covered her mouth and nose, so she didn't cry out with excitement.

Ding Zhaohui's eyes shone warmly, like dancing flames. He stared at her for a while, and said emotionally: "If my sister wants it, I will give it to you for free."

Xiong Panpan stared at Ding Zhaohui bewilderedly, thinking that he must have saved the Milky Way in his previous life, and God gave her such a big surprise.In an instant, I was so happy that I wanted to cry.

Ding Zhaohui was in the same mood. He walked to the waterfront of Shiji, looked down at her and said, "This fish is better than fresh, it must be sliced ​​thinly, and it tastes good when it is made into fish sticks. I don't know if there is someone in my sister's house who will Cuisine?"

Xiong Panpan shook his head foolishly, and the tears in his eyes trembled slightly. He stood against the wind in his green shirt and white skirt, like a lily blooming in the mountains.

Ding Zhaohui's eyes overflowed with a smile, bowed his waist, stretched out his hand towards Panpan, and said softly, "Do you want fish or people?"

Xiong Panpan's tears gushed out "swish", and he choked up and said, "Everything!" Raising his arms on tiptoe, he climbed up to the hand that was offered above his head, palms facing each other, and the warm touch spread like a tremor. whole body.

"Come on!" Ding Zhaohui raised it vigorously, and Xiong Panpan jumped up.

Can't wait to stand still, Xiong Panpan touched Ding Er's cheek with both hands, pinched it down hard, and asked expectantly: "Does it hurt? Isn't this a dream?"

Ding Zhaohui endured the pain, Qu Zhi lightly scratched the tip of her nose, and said in an endlessly pampering tone: "Of course not."

"Yeah!" Xiong Panpan screamed excitedly, slipped his hands to Ding Er's neck, and plunged into his arms.

Ding Zhaohui was knocked back half a step, quickly spread his arms, wrapped her waist tightly, and whispered in her ear: "Panpan, come back with me..."

Xiong Panpan raised his head from Ding Zhaohui's arms, raised his hand to cover his lips, his eyes were warm and firm, and said word by word: "The ends of the world, I will go with you."

The two stared at each other, with tears in their eyes, they hugged each other deeply again, and they never separated for a long time.

The water of the lake is shimmering, and the sweet singing of Cailing girl comes from the depths of the reeds:

我们 俩 划 着 船儿

采红 菱 呀 采红 菱

得呀 得郎 有情

得 呀 得妹有心

就 好像 两 角 菱

从来 不 分离 呀

我 俩心相印
