Chapter 1 Yang Doudou
My name is Yang Baitian.
My family lives in Xiaokou Village - Zijiawan, at the gap in Daba Mountain in the southern foot of the eastern section of Bazhou.
My family has come from generation to generation, and none of them are rich people.
It was my grandfather's turn to be in 1933. The people were in trouble and hunger and cold.
This year, Bazhou suffered from drought and famine, people's lives were painful and displaced. Many people plundered and harmed people's livelihood because they could not resist hunger. It was time for society to end and thieves to enter Mao.
I heard that at that time.
The rice fields are exhausted, the cultivated land is cracked, and there is no harvest. Even the water in the fields is robbed and drunk. The bark, leaves, and what can be cut are eaten by people.
The livestock that had not been slaughtered was not thirsty or hungry to the circle. The villages where children used to play were also silent, revealing a lifeless look. The old, weak, women and children lying on the ground were all raised.
The entire Bazhou is like a hell on earth. People are panicked everywhere and everyone is in danger. The weaknesses of human nature are fully revealed.
My grandfather and brother and sister have seven, and my parents died early.
Seeing that all the brothers and sisters were covered in clothes and had a thin body, the eldest grandfather had to sell salt early with the strong men in the village (a profession, putting goods in the back basket and then selling them in the village) and earn some money to maintain their household income.
For 33 years, "bearing the second child" is a physical profession, and all villagers from various villages and towns have spontaneously organized the participation.
It usually takes nearly ten days and half a month to travel, and the journey takes at least 100 kilometers. This makes it difficult for people who are carrying the penis to bend after working for a few years.
The profession of "being the second child" is also full of dangers.
Every time the goods are shipped, more than five people have to enter the village together.
Because the journey is long, it is inevitable that some robbers will be targeted. In fact, it is not so much a robber, but rather a hungry person who is hungry and disregards his integrity and morality. When encountering some arrogant people, small people lose their goods and big people lose their lives, this also makes some people bear their own son and will never be able to go home.
Once, grandpa set out with the salt trafficking team again.
The team carried two old and young people, and about twenty people were sent to various villages and towns.
Along the way, the young penis walked very fast and wanted to go to the village early to sell for a good price. Grandpa also put all his efforts into following up.
On this day, the weather was extremely stuffy. The arid Bazhou was like a big steamer. The young and strong-willed dudes were all sweating like rain, walking on the rugged mountain road with difficulty.
Suddenly, a muffled groan came...
An elderly penis with her back suddenly fainted because she could not resist the hot weather and hunger.
The salt in the back basket spilled all over the ground, which made people feel very regretful.
Everyone surrounded them and looked left and right, but no one reached out to save them.
Seeing that it was almost dusk, this place was a place where there was no village in front and no shop in the back.
Ancient trees stand everywhere in the mountains, vines lingering around the ground, making them look even more strange. No one knows what they would encounter if they stayed in this wilderness.
Everyone has the will but not the strength, and no one has the extra strength to help him.
Finally, they all left one after another.
Grandpa looked at the old man with his eyes closed at this time, his breath was weak, his stomach was shriveled, and he was extremely thin...
Xunsi is also a miserable person, so how can he bear to leave him?
Seeing the sky was dark and calm, my grandfather was worried that he would not be able to save others, and he also lost his life on this mountain.
After thinking for a while, I looked for a cave nearby.
The cave is also very strange. It is very cool inside and has a moderate width.
Grandpa thought that in this era, people would not be able to eat enough, so there would be no animals in the cave, and some would be hungry and mummies.
So after checking the scene, he moved the old man and the goods into the cave, and ran a few miles to find some water. When he returned to the cave, it was as dark as ink, and he couldn't see his five fingers.
Grandpa dipped some water in the dark to moisten the old man's lips.
He also broke the only dry food on his body and soaked it in water to soak it softly, and fed it to the elderly.
The old man seemed to be hungry and did not forget to eat in half a coma.
After feeding the old man, it was not until dark, and the mountains were so quiet that the wind was blowing the leaves, and occasionally there were a few chirpings of birds and beasts...
The more grandfather heard it, the more scared he became, so he hurriedly touched a rock in the cave and blocked it at the entrance of the cave to prevent the attack from being encountered by wild beasts.
After several twists and turns, even though he was young and strong, his grandfather was extremely sleepy and fell asleep in a drowsy way while guarding the old man.
By the way, the old man woke up in a vague state and saw a young man sleeping beside him, he recalled that someone was feeding him in the night.
At this time, I don’t know where I was, but I fell asleep again before I woke up for a while.
I don’t know how long I slept, but I felt warm all over and was taken care of. I was not thirsty and had some ingredients in my stomach. Then I woke up in my energy.
When I saw the young man taking care of himself regardless of his current self-interest, I was deeply moved.
After all, in this famine era, everyone is in danger and it is reasonable to not be taken care of by others. How can you blame others?
I became famous when I was young, but now I am in trouble in the wilderness. Without the care of young people, I have been swallowed by wild animals, so I am afraid that the corpse cannot be kept...
Just as my heart was thinking about how to repay me, the young man woke up.
The old man stepped forward to salute, and there was no need to say much about his thanks.
The two chatted and learned that the old man was actually the famous "Shen Jing Yang Dousai" in Bazhou.
It can be said that the children in the village grew up listening to his stories.
When I was a child, I heard legends from the village that Yang Wushui was usually taciturn and was in a sleeping state all year round, but his life method was extremely effective, and his black bamboo magic calculation was praised for a while.
Legend has it that he is good at applying five black bamboo boards to the hexagrams, and no one who comes to ask for the hexagram has ever been effective. The Feng Shui he has seen has flourished. Yang Wushui was once a guest of the wealthy people in and outside Bazhou, and his treatment can be seen.
Speaking of his hexagram, the old man smiled bitterly: "At present, people live in a difficult situation and have no food to eat, so they don't care about the fate, let alone someone who has such leisure to see fortune tellers. You have also seen that at this time, I cannot protect myself, and there is no one who helps me in time."
In this way, grandpa's accidental rescue made the two of them become friends who were close to ages.
As time went by, the two became more and more familiar with each other, and grandfather sympathized with the old man's weakness and bad birth.
In order to help the old man, my grandfather often cooperated with him to ship the goods into the village, and often put most of the salt in the old man's backpack in his backpack.
This made Yang Wusai, who was proud and never owe others, love this young man more and more, and at the same time made a decision to find a suitable opportunity to repay him.
On that day, after the delivery and delivery, my grandfather was holding some of the hard-earned money settled from the foreman, and was very happy. He planned to rush back to the Zijia Bay overnight to cut a few taels of meat for his brothers and sisters to have a tooth sacrifice.
Before leaving, he saw "Yang Doe" standing lonely outside the village. His grandfather pityed his loneliness and invited him to his home together.
Yang Doushui was just looking for an opportunity to repay the young man. He was so happy that he could take this opportunity to go to his home.
