Ghost Blowing Lamp II

Chapter 4

The nickname "covering the sky" is probably taken from the monk holding an umbrella-meaning lawlessness. It is rumored among the people that he saved Huang Daxian when he was a monk in his early years.This is of course a rumor. In fact, not only did he fail to save Huang Pizi, but he also caused many deaths.

When the bandit suppressing team chased him, it happened that the snow fell early in the mountains, and it was freezing cold. Finally, they found the body of "Zhou Bi Tian" in a snow nest. He hanged himself on a tree with a crooked neck. The one who committed suicide, on the opposite side of his dead body, also hanged a little yellow-skinned boy. The appearance of death was exactly the same as his, and it was also hung by a small noose around the neck. Look, it's freezing hard.

The fat man played tricks, said it vividly, pretended to be a hanged ghost sticking out his tongue, and made the swallow's eyes go straight. "The way of death is also too weird. It would make sense to say that he himself hanged himself to avoid the people's judgment, but the little yellow leather that was hanged opposite is too bizarre. "A horse bandit, what can He De do?He was not the Emperor Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty, so did Huang Pizi want to be buried as a eunuch for him?

Yanzi didn't think so, she was very convinced by Fatty's words, because there were many similar legends in the local area, legends that Huang Daxian only protects his children for a lifetime, whoever saved Huang Daxian, for example, helped Huang Daxian hide from robbery, etc. This person can be protected by Huang Daxian. Whatever he wants, Huang Pizi will help him steal it, so that he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. All the things that were stolen from this family have to be emptied. This is not the end, and in the end, a little yellow leather child will be sent to exchange lives with the descendants of this family. Yanzi thinks that the bandit leader "" Covering the sky", probably because the ancestors were saved by Huang Daxian, so they ended up like this.

This kind of thing happened in the village before liberation. There was a man named Xu Erhei. His family had been protected by Huang Daxian in his previous life. One year, Xu Erhei’s father was about to die. There were a lot of yellow skins milling around the door of Xu Erhei's house, as if they were discussing how to harm Xu's family in a few days.The yellow leathers were really deceiving people too much, Xu Erhei became ruthless, and set up a trap at the door, covering a total of more than twenty yellow leathers in one night.At the foot of the mountain, there are railroad tracks built by the Japanese. During the nine days when dripping water turns into ice in the severe winter, Xu Erhei cut off the backs of these yellow skins one by one, and pressed them all alive and bloody onto the railroad tracks. The blood on the backs of the yellow skins stained the steel They froze immediately, and no matter how desperately they struggled, they couldn't get out. Xu Erhei just froze a bunch of yellow skins on the railway. When the train came at dawn, they crushed more than twenty yellow skins into meatloaf.

It turned out to be a disaster. At night, around the village, there were weasels crying and howling all over the mountains and plains, which shocked the hunting dogs in the village. When the sky was bright, someone saw a black piece of yellow leather going into the forest. He jumped away, and then someone discovered that Xu Erhei had hanged himself. The way of death was exactly the same as the bandit leader's fate in the story told by the fat man.

Fatty and Swallow Huller had a blast, and they had a great time. The vigorous movement outside the mountain was sweeping away all monsters and monsters. This movement also naturally impacted the Daxing'an Mountains. Even the old man in the village who only knew a dozen words Party secretary, every time the meeting is held, he must say: "Chairman Mao's revolutionary line is in the middle of the bright road. The pit on the left is left-leaning, and the pit on the right is right-leaning. You must not stand in the wrong team and go the wrong way, otherwise you will not Be careful and you will fall into the pit." So the three of us are talking about these folklore in the forest farm hut, it is a bit inappropriate, but our forest farm is high and the emperor is far away, and there are no outsiders. We only talk about Fengyue, not Fengyun. The world is much more relaxed.

Yanzi asked me to tell her some news, it was dark and cold outside, how comfortable it was to sit on the kang and talk, but I haven't been out of the mountains for several months, so there is no news, old news is also good It was almost done, so he said to her and the fat man: "Today is also evil, why do you say that it is full of yellow skins? Isn't there a ridge on Tuanshanzi called Huangpizi's grave? There are a lot of yellow skins there. It’s not far from our place. I’ve been in the mountains for several months, but I’ve never been to Tuanshanzi. I think we should stop talking and practice, and just go up and down the mountain overnight. How about catching a few live weasels and playing with them?"

The fat man was overjoyed when he heard the words, there was nothing more fun in the mountains than a yellow leather trap and a fox trap, so he jumped up at that time: "Your idea is great, even though there is no Xiaoxue now, the yellow leather trap is not worth much, but you can carry it with you." Going to the supply and marketing cooperative, it’s not a problem to change the designation of two catties of fruit candy. We haven’t eaten candy for many days. It’s a fake move, it’s not a fool’s move to just practice, it’s a good move to talk about and practice, let’s take practical actions..." As soon as he spoke, he jumped off the kang with his stomach full, and casually took the dog skin With the hat on his head, he was about to set off to put on the yellow leather jacket.

Yanzi hurriedly stopped us and said, "You can't go, you can't go, why do you want to mess around again, the branch secretary has ordered you not to engage in liberalism, and let the three of us guard the forest farm."

I secretly felt a smile in my heart, the old party secretary in the village is a big official, so I have to obey what he says?My father's title is many times higher than that of the village party secretary. I have never heard what he said, except for Chairman Mao. Let’s do it lightly, but I can’t say it clearly. I still told Yanzi earnestly: "The revolutionary masses have basically been mobilized to fight against the winter desolation. Are we just going to stay like this and do nothing? Don’t look at Huangpizi It’s small, but it also has a whole body of skin and flesh, and we set up a few more weasels to contribute to socialist construction and support the world revolution.”

Swallow was confused by what he heard, adding bricks and tiles is the right thing to do, but the bears on "Tuanshanzi" don't dare to provoke them casually. The local hunters lack modern weapons. They have three simple methods of hunting. One is to set traps, put nooses, and traps They specialize in catching some cunning and fast-moving beasts, like foxes and yellow-skinned animals. The hounds have no choice but to outwit them with traps; The best is to pick up hares; the third is musket guns, among which the shotgun that fires gunpowder and iron sand is the most basic weapon. To load the front chamber, first put black gunpowder, then press tinder cloth, and finally load iron pellets, and press hard with iron bars. In fact, the bullet will not slip out of the barrel if the velvet is stuck, and the primer can be fired on top of it. The slow loading speed and too short range are the fatal shortcomings. It is suitable for shooting roe deer, roe deer and wild boar.
