Once, I heard the voice of "counting money" coming from an empty room. I pushed the door and went in. A snake is lying on the beam, looking at the ground. A hidden mouse was lying on the ground, quarreling with blood, but the two sides fell together. I picked it up and put it in a paper box. After a long time, I woke up and gradually could eat and walk. The next day, I seemed to recover, but I didn't run away. When you put it on the ground, you always run in front of people, with your legs up and climbing to the knee condyle. Put it on the dining table, then eat the dregs of ordering food and lick the edge of the bowl; Walking leisurely on my desk, I licked the ink I was studying when I saw the inkstone. I was very surprised. According to my father, there is a kind of ink monkey in China, which is only as big as a thumb, and its hair is black and bright. It sleeps in a pen container. When it hears the sound of ink grinding, it will jump out and wait. When people finish writing and put pens on, it licks up the remaining ink on the inkstone and still jumps into the pen container. I would like to have such an ink monkey, but I can't get it; Asked where to buy and where to buy, no one knows. "Talking about comfort is better than nothing". This hidden mouse can always be my ink monkey. Although it licks the ink, it may not be finished by me.
This is really unexpected before. Now I don't remember what it was like at that time, but my feelings with cats finally didn't blend; When I arrived in Beijing, because I hurt the rabbit's child, I caught a new suspect in the old gap and used a hotter hand. The story of "hating cats" spread from now on. Now, however, these things have become the past. I have changed my attitude and am quite polite to cats. If necessary, I will drive them away without hurting them, let alone killing them. This is my progress in recent years. With a lot of experience, once we realize that cats steal fish, drag chickens and bark at night, people will naturally hate them, and this kind of hate is on cats. If I go out to drive away this hatred of people, hurt or kill it, it will immediately become pity, and that hatred will fall on me. So, the solution now is that whenever cats make trouble and someone hates me, I will stand up and shout at the door: "Shh! Get out! " Take it easy, that is, go back to the study, so that you will always be qualified to defend your family. In fact, officers and men in China often practice this method. They always refuse to sweep away bandits or exterminate the enemy, because in this way, they will not be taken seriously, or even be fired because they have lost their usefulness. I think that if this method can be popularized and applied, I will probably become a "predecessor" of the so-called "guiding youth", but I have not made up my mind to practice it, and I am studying and deliberating it.
(B) Chang and Shan Hai Jing
But when I mourn the hidden mouse and avenge it, I am eager to draw the mountain and sea classics. This desire was aroused by a distant great-uncle. He is a fat and kind old man who likes to plant some flowers and trees, such as Zhu Lan, Jasmine and Ma Yinghua, which is extremely rare and is said to have been brought back from the north. On the other hand, his wife is confused about everything. She once put a bamboo pole to dry clothes on a branch in Cynthia, and the branch broke, even cursing angrily: "Dead body!" " The old man is a lonely man. Because there is no one to talk to, he loves to associate with children. Sometimes he simply calls us "children". In the house where we live together, only he has many books, which is very special. Of course, there are also art and poetry. But I only read Lu Ji's Poems of Shi Mao, Plants, Birds, Animals, Insects, Fish and Sparse, and many books with various names in his study. My favorite at that time was "Flower Mirror", with many pictures on it. He told me that there used to be a painting of Shan Hai Jing. It was a beast with a face, a hydra, a three-legged bird, a man with wings, a monster without a head, two breasts and eyes ... but I don't know where it is now.
Although it is not a good thing to talk about people behind their backs, if I have to tell the truth, I can only say: I really don't admire her. What I hate most is that I often like to make a careful observation and whisper to people. Hold up your second finger, shake it up and down in the air, or light your opponent or nose. There was a little trouble at home, and somehow I always suspected that it was related to this "careful observation" that I was not allowed to walk, pull weeds and turn over rocks, so I was naughty and wanted to tell my mother. In summer, when she was sleeping, she put her feet and hands over and put a word "big" in the middle of the bed, so that I had no place to turn over and slept on the mat in the corner for a long time. It was already so hot. Push her, don't move; I'm calling her, but I don't smell it.
(3) Twenty-four Filial Pieties
Since the so-called "literary revolution", children's books have been compared with Europe, America and Japan. Although poor, there are pictures and stories in the end. As long as you can read on, you can understand them. But a group of people with ulterior motives tried their best to stop it and make the children's world no fun. Beijing now often uses the word "carelessness" to intimidate children. In other words, as recorded in Shuowen, it was Ma Shumou who talked with Emperor Yang Di and steamed the child to death. If it's written correctly, it must be "hemp beard" Therefore, Ma Shumou will be in the semi-finals this time. But no matter who he is, his consumption of children is still limited, but for life. The pernicious influence of those who hinder the vernacular is not only a scourge, but also very extensive and lasting, which can turn all China into a beard and all children will die in his stomach.
At the beginning of life, human nature is good? This is not the problem to be studied now. But I still vaguely remember that I never deliberately disobeyed my parents when I was a child, but I was willing to be filial to my parents. But I am young and ignorant, and I only explain the practice of filial piety with my personal opinions, thinking that it is nothing more than "obedience" and "obedience", and I will feed my elderly parents well when I grow up. Since I had this textbook for dutiful sons, I know it's not, it's more difficult. There are naturally some imitations, such as "Luzi Negative Rice" and "Huang Xiang Fan Pillow". It is not difficult to conceive oranges, as long as rich people invite me to dinner. "Mr. Lu Xun is a guest and pregnant with oranges?" I knelt down and answered, "A mother's love wants to return to her mother." Rich people admire him, so the dutiful son is steady and easy to talk to. "Crying bamboo shoots" is suspicious, fearing that my sincerity may not touch the world in this way. But if you can't cry out bamboo shoots, it's just a slap in the face. If you go "lying on the ice looking for carp", your life will be in danger. The weather in my hometown is very mild. In severe winter, there is only a thin layer of ice on the water. Even if the child is lying down, it will definitely crash, the ice will break into the water, and the carp can't swim. Naturally, I have to risk my life. This is the only way to show filial piety to the gods. There will be unexpected miracles, but I was still young and really didn't understand them.
(4) Five clubs
Although the current sports meeting is not like the cheongsam in Shanghai, it is officially forbidden to talk about state affairs in Beijing, and women and children are not allowed to watch it. Scholars, so-called literati, generally refuse to watch it. Only idle people ran to the temple or yamen to watch the fun; Most of what I know about the tournament comes from their narratives, not the precious "ophthalmology" of textual research scholars. However, I remember one time, I witnessed a relatively prosperous championship. At first, there was a child riding on horseback, which was called "Tang Bao". After a long time, the "high photo" arrived, with a long flag held by a long bamboo pole and a sweaty fat man holding it in his hands; When he is happy, he will put the head of the pole on his head or teeth, or even on the tip of his nose. Followed by the so-called "stilts", "carrying pavilions" and "horse heads"; There are also criminals, red shackles and children. At that time, I thought these were glorious undertakings, and I heard that they were lucky-I probably envied their limelight. I thought, why didn't I get seriously ill and let my mother go to the temple to make a wish to "pretend to be a prisoner" ..... However, I have never had anything to do with the tournament until now.
All the applicants have moved, and the home has changed from hectic to quiet. The morning sun shines on the western wall, and the weather is fine. Mother, worker, eldest mother, that is, Chang, can't be saved, just silently waiting for me to read and recite. In the silence, I seem to have many iron tongs sticking out their heads to hold things born in the wilderness; I also heard my voice trembling in a hurry, like the chirping of crickets in late autumn night.
They are all waiting; The sun has also risen higher.
I suddenly seemed very sure, so I stood up, took the book and went into my father's study. I recited it in one breath, like a dream.
"yes. Go ahead. " Father nodded and said.
Everyone moved at the same time, with a smile on their faces, and headed for the river port. The workers picked me up high, as if congratulating me on my success, and walked quickly in front.
(5) impermanence
As for us-I believe: I and many people-what we want most is impermanence. He is not only lively and humorous, but also stands out from the crowd in red, green and green. As long as we saw a tall white hat and the shadow of the broken banana fan in his hand, everyone was a little nervous and happy. People and ghosts are the most familiar and intimate, and they can often meet him at ordinary times. For example, in the Chenghuang Temple or Dongyue Temple, there is a darkroom behind the main hall, which is called "darkroom". In the darkness where colors can be distinguished, all kinds of ghosts have been created: eating goods, falling dead ghosts, tigers hurting ghosts, imperial examination ghosts, ... and the long and white thing you see when you enter the door is him. Although I have been to this "ghost world", I was timid and didn't understand it. It is said that he has a chain in one hand, because he is the messenger of the soul. According to legend, the "ghost" structure of Yuemiao Temple in Fanjiangdong was originally very special: the door was a trap. When a person enters the door and steps on this end of the trap, the molded step will jump up and the iron rope will strangle you. Later, I scared a person to death and nailed him, so I couldn't move when I was young.
(6) Mr. Fujino
Probably hope is the most precious thing. Beijing cabbage is transported to Zhejiang, tied up with red rope and hung upside down at the door of the fruit shop, which is regarded as "glue vegetable"; The wild aloe vera in Fujian, known as "agave", entered the greenhouse as soon as it arrived in Beijing. I also received such preferential treatment when I went to Sendai. Not only does the school not charge tuition, but several staff members are also worried about my accommodation. I first stayed in an inn next to the prison. It's quite cold in early winter, but there are still many mosquitoes. Later, I covered my whole body with a quilt and wrapped my head with clothes, leaving only two nostrils to vent. In this breathing place, mosquitoes can't disturb, so they can only have a good sleep. The food is good, too But a gentleman thinks that this inn also provides meals for prisoners, and it is not suitable for me to live there. He said repeatedly. Although I don't think the prisoners' meals in the inn have anything to do with me, I have to find another suitable place to live. So I moved to another house, far from the prison. Unfortunately, I always have to drink taro soup that is hard to swallow every day.
(7) Precautions
Of course, when I first entered, I could only be a student in Class Three. There is a desk, a stool, a bed and only two beds in the bedroom. The students in the first two classes are different, there are two tables and two stools or three stools and one bed, and there are also three beds. Not only do the students in Class Three go to the lecture hall with a pile of thick and big foreign documents, but they are not the only ones who dare to face them squarely. Open your elbows even if you are empty-handed, like a crab. The lower classes can't get out of the back door before him. This crab-like celebrity has been gone for a long time now. Four or five years ago, I found this posture on the broken leg lounge chair of the Ministry of Education. However, this master was not sent by lightning, which shows that the attitude of crabs is quite common in China.
But we also went through a period of great insecurity. It was the second year, and I heard that the school was going to be abolished. No wonder, this school was set up because the Governor of Liangjiang (about Liu Kunyi) heard that the coal mine in Qinglong Mountain was promising. By the time school started, the original technician in the coal mine had been dismissed and replaced by someone who didn't know much about it. The reasons are: First, the salary of the previous technicians was too expensive; Second, they think it is not difficult to open coal mines. So in less than a year, even the coal there is not very clear. The final coal can only be used to burn two pumps, that is, pumping water to dig coal, digging coal to pump water, and accounting. Since mining is unprofitable, the mine road school naturally does not need to be opened, but somehow it is not abolished. In the third year, when we went to see the mine, the situation was really bleak. Of course, the pump is still running, but the water in the mine is half a foot deep and still dripping. Several miners work in it like ghosts.
1. Xiangzi, once such a strong first-class driver, did not struggle out of his tragic fate in the end. Life didn't give him too much because he was stronger, such as soldiers, camels, Cao Zhai, Inspector Sun, tigress, and joy ... All these didn't seem to let him escape the ultimate fate of the driver. He once didn't believe in life, but what's the use? His efforts, his first car, his savings from buying a car, didn't attract anyone, didn't provoke anyone, and it was gone? Who can blame this? I can only blame my life. As a result, Xiangzi finally became no longer strong like other drivers, and developed things like alcohol and tobacco that he never refused to get contaminated in the past, which made people feel forgivable, and all the bad habits seemed to be unforgivable. But what a strong man Xiangzi used to be! He deducted every penny from his life in order to buy a car. He sacrificed his face and the strong seat of the inferior driver, pulled the car desperately and refused to drink a good cup of tea. Although it is normal for a senior driver like him to drink good tea, he regards himself as steel and desperately saves money ... Things are often unsatisfactory, and all accidents run counter to his wishes. Xiangzi's knowledge and experience honed him into a different person-a completely opposite person to Xiangzi in the past-who learned all the bad habits, played tricks on the patrolman, maintained himself and became a driver who muddied along. Sometimes he thinks he should live a good life, but when he thinks about his experience, he loses confidence. What if he's stronger? Wasn't he stronger before? Finally, like everyone else, he may be happier every day. Until the end, even his last hope, joy, left this world, and he was completely desperate. A simple, honest, kind and strong rural youth degenerated into a sympathetic gangster, and finally fell down on the street like a dog and never got up again. Xiangzi is the epitome of the poor working people in the old society, and he reflects the hardships and helplessness of the working people in the old society. Tigress, a shrewish and calculating middle-aged woman, is born with a man's character. She is very good at taking care of things and managing people and parking lots in order. She tried her best to arrange a scam, but her father, Si Liu, found out earlier, but he still tricked Xiangzi into marrying her, but she didn't expect her father to leave her and sell the factory to other places. In the end, she died of dystocia caused by laziness. All her endings are of her own making, and she is counting her own life. The Tao is one foot high, and the devil is ten feet high. Like Tigress, she didn't get a good reputation and no one sympathized when she died. It seems better to be an honest man. Grandpa Si Liu, the Paoge in the old society, improved and built a parking lot. He is an honest and frank man with a strong personality and never refuses to lose face in the outfield. The biggest regret in this life is that there is no son to take over. Although a daughter is capable, she is a daughter after all. Because my daughter is middle-aged and unmarried, I feel sorry for her, and I will let her go on weekdays, but I don't want my hard-earned property to be given to others with my daughter. So I broke up with my daughter, and finally I didn't even know where my daughter's grave was. Feudal thought made him forget his family, and when he woke up, it was too late. I believe Xiangzi really felt lonely when he kicked him out of the car and stood there alone for a long time. He really feels that he has nothing but money, and he can't even see his daughter's grave. Family ties are precious. I hope we don't know how to cherish after losing it. At that time, we could only stand in the same place for a long time like Si Liu, crying silently in the wind.
2. One
We want to introduce Xiangzi, not camel, because "camel" is just a nickname; So, let's say goodbye first.
Son, just talk about the relationship between camel and Xiangzi, forget it.
There are many foreign rickshaw pullers' schools in Beiping: young and strong, agile in legs and feet, paying attention to renting beautiful cars, pulling all day and loving.
You have the freedom to leave and pick up the car at any time; Pull the car out and put it at a fixed "door" or at home, waiting for the express train.
Advocate; If you do it well, you may get one and two pieces at once; As it happens, one day may be wasted, and even the "car share" is gone.
Fall, but don't care. There are probably two hopes of this group of buddies: either pulling a chartered car; Or buy your own car. I see.
It doesn't matter if you go to your car for a month or a seat. Anyway, the car is my own.
Older than this group, or run a little harder because of physical relationship, or dare not waste because of family relationship.
One day, probably most of them are pulling 80% new cars; People and cars are beautiful, and they can be used when you need money.
Maintain considerable dignity. The coachman in this school may pull "all day" or "half a day". In the latter case, because
Because there is still considerable energy, winter and summer are always "late". Of course, you need more at night than during the day.
Caution and skill; Naturally, you earn a lot of money.
I'm afraid those over forty and under twenty have no place in the first two factions. Their car broke down, and it wasn't.
Dare to "pull late", so I can only leave early, hoping to change from early morning to three or four in the afternoon and pull out the "car sharing"
Chew the grain yourself. Their car broke down and ran slowly, so they had to walk more and ask for less money. Go to melon market, fruit market, vegetable market, pull
Goods, all; There is little money, but there is no need to run fast.
Here, people under the age of 20-some people have been in this business since they were eleven or twelve-rarely change after the age of 20.
A beautiful coachman is hard to be strong because he was injured when he was a child. They may pull rickshaws all their lives, but they will pull them all their lives.
This car has never been noticed. Some people over 40 years old have been pulling cars for more than ten or eight years, and the degeneration of their muscles makes them lead a dull life.
Later, they gradually knew that sooner or later, a fall would die on the road. The way they pull the cart and improvise when bargaining. Let's go.
It is enough to remind them of the glory of the past and fan the younger generation with their noses and wings. But this light
Glory can't reduce the darkness of the future at all, so they often sigh when wiping their sweat. However, compared with them.
Other drivers in their forties don't seem to go home with bitterness. These are things I never thought I could compete with foreign cars before.
Making love, when the line between life and death is not clear, I grabbed the handlebar. A patrolman or school attendant who has been dismissed from his post
Vendors with no money, or unemployed craftsmen, bite their teeth and go to bed with tears in their eyes when they have nothing to sell.
Embarked on this road of death. These people, who sold in the most prosperous period of their lives, are now dripping with the blood and sweat of Wowotou.
On the way. Without strength, experience and friends, even among peers, you can't get a good spirit. They play the worst.
Car, how many times a day; While pulling people, I have to ask for forgiveness, although fifteen big coppers
This is already a good deal.
In addition, due to the particularity of environment and knowledge, some drivers have formed another school. Born in Xiyuan Haidian, I naturally go west.
Mountain, Yanjing and Tsinghua are more convenient; Similarly, take Qinghe and Beiyuan outside Andingmen; Go to Nanyuan outside Yongdingmen. ...
This is a long trip, and I don't want to pull a zero seat; Because a trip is a trip, I don't care about the poverty of three or five coppers. But they
Not as angry as the driver in the eastern suburb of Minxiang. These people who specialize in foreign business (1) suddenly pulled from Jiaomin Lane to Yuquan Mountain.
Heyuan or Xishan. Anger is no small matter. Most drivers can't compete with this business because they eat foreign food.
Rice has a little unusual knowledge. They can speak foreign languages. British soldiers, French soldiers, so-called Wanshou Mountain, Lama Temple,
They all know the "Eight Hutong". They have their own set of foreign words and don't teach others. They also operate in a special way.
Four or six steps are slow, head down, staring at each other, walking along the roadside, bringing out other people with their own expertise.
Air. Because foreigners are dragged, they can wear long-sleeved white jackets, white or black trousers and trousers without numbers.
Very fat, with a thin band on his ankle; Feet are wide double-sided blue shoes; Clean, tidy and dignified. At the sight of such clothes
In fact, other drivers will not compete for seats and cars. They seem to belong to another industry.
3. Because you are happy, your courage will increase; Xiangzi has run faster since he bought a car. Of course your own car is small.
Heart, but he looked at himself, and looked at his car, feel a little not smelly, if not run fast.
He has grown more than an inch since he came to this city. He felt it himself, as if he were going to grow taller. no
Wrong, his skin and appearance are harder and more fixed, and there is a small beard on his upper lip; But he thinks it's still
It should be higher. When he came to the door of a hut or street gate and had to bow his head to get in, he said nothing.
But I secretly like it in my heart, because he is already so tall, and he still feels growing. He seems to be both an adult and an adult.
A child, very interesting.
Such a big man, pulling such a beautiful car, his own car, even the handlebars moved slightly.
Play; The trunk is so bright, the cushion is so white, and the horn is so loud; How can you live up to yourself if you can't run fast? How can you be right?
Where is the car? This is not vanity, but seems to be a responsibility. Unless you run fast and fly high, it is not enough to give full play to yourself.
The power and beauty of the car. That car is really cute. It has been pulling for half a year, and it seems that there are feelings and feelings everywhere.
As soon as Zi twisted his waist, squatted his leg and straightened his back, he closed it immediately, giving Xiangzi the most satisfactory help, and he let it go.
There's nothing embarrassing about the diaphragm. When you get to a flat place with few people, Xiangzi can hold the handle with one hand, which is slightly lighter.
The loud leather wheel urged him to run fast and steadily like a brisk breeze. When he got there, Xiangzi's clothes and trousers were all sweaty.
Come on, it's like you just fished it out of a basin. He felt tired, but he was happy, proud and tired.
Tired is like riding a famous horse for dozens of miles. If courage is not careless, then Xiangzi will not run boldly.
Meaning. If you don't run fast, you'll feel sorry for yourself if you hurt your car. The car is his life. He knows how small it is.
Heart. When caution and boldness are put together, he becomes more and more confident. He is sure that he and his car are made of iron.
So he not only dares to run boldly, but also doesn't think much about when to drive. He felt compelled to pull carts to make a living.
Eating is the most backbone thing in the world; He is willing to go out, and no one can stop him. He doesn't listen to outside rumors. What?
Yao Xiyuan has soldiers again, what Changxindian is fighting again, what Xizhimen is pulling the case again, and what Qihuamen is half closed.
God, he didn't even notice. Naturally, the shops on the street are empty, and the roads are full of armed police and security guards. He also
Deliberately looking uncomfortable and inconvenient, I quickly turned off the car like everyone else. However, the rumor, he didn't believe it. He knows how to be careful,
Especially because the car is his own, but he is a countryman after all, unlike city people who listen to the wind or rain. Besides, his body
The body convinced him that even if he was unfortunate enough, there must be a way to avoid a big loss; He is not easy to cheat.
Insult, so big, so wide shoulders!
That car is really cute. After driving for half a year, it seems that there are feelings everywhere. As soon as Xiangzi twisted his waist, squatted his leg, or kept his back, he closed it immediately, giving Xiangzi the most satisfactory help. There is nothing awkward between him and it. When he reached a flat place with few people, Xiangzi could hold the handle with one hand, and the slightly loud leather wheel urged him to run like a strong wind, fast and steady. When he arrived, Xiangzi's clothes and trousers were all sweaty, as if they had just been fished out of a basin. He feels tired, but he is happy and proud, a kind of fatigue, like riding a famous horse for dozens of miles.
He has no appearance, what makes him lovely is the spirit on his face. The head is not very big, round eyes, fleshy nose, two short and thick eyebrows, and the head has been shaved. There is no excess meat on the cheeks, but the neck is similar to the head. ) thick; My face is always red.
Gonta was so soft that even the handlebars moved slightly; The trunk is so bright, the cushion is so white and the horn is so loud.
Decent, strong, dreamy, selfish, personal, strong, great, Xiangzi, I don't know how many funerals he sent with others; I don't know when and where he will bury himself, this depraved, selfish, unfortunate and socially ill child, the last ghost of individualism.
Xiangzi's hands trembled even more. He pulled up the insurance policy and the car, almost crying. Pull to a secluded place, study your car carefully and try to see your face on the paint board! The more you look at it, the cuter it is. Even if it doesn't meet your ideal, you can forgive it, because it is already your own car. Seeing that the car seemed to have a rest, he sat on the new cushion of the water dustpan and looked at the shiny brass horn on the handlebar. It suddenly occurred to him that he was twenty-two years old this year. Because his parents died early, he forgot when his birthday was. He hasn't celebrated his birthday since he came to town. Well, I bought a new car today, even on my birthday. It is easy to remember that people own cars. Besides, I made the car by myself, so nothing can't be counted together.
How to live this "double life"? Xiangzi had an idea: the first business must attract a well-dressed person, and it must not be a woman. It is best to pull to the front door, followed by Dongan market. Yes, he should have a meal at the best food stall, such as hot sesame seed cake with fried mutton. After eating, if there is a good deal, Dora one or two; If not, take a bus; Today is my birthday!
Since having this car, his life has become more and more exciting. No matter whether it is a monthly payment or a scattered seat, he doesn't have to worry about the "car share" every day, and how much money he pulls is his own. If you are comfortable, you will be more friendly to people and your business will be more satisfactory. After pulling for half a year, his hope is even greater: at this rate, after working for two years, at most, he can buy another car, one car, two cars … and start a factory!
Appreciate:
Xiangzi sacrificed a lot to buy a car. It took him three years to buy it. Of course, he is very excited. His mood can be seen from his words, actions and thoughts. As for "the day when Xiangzi bought a car was also his birthday", although it was just a coincidence, we can see that God was secretly helping Xiangzi. After reading this passage, everyone will be happy for Xiangzi's success and celebrate for him. This is the charm of Lao She's "people's artist" language.
