The village "well" has experienced everything in these years

? There was a well in my hometown

Sunlight skillfully burned on the white back of willow through the leaf gap, dense and dense, forming clusters of bright but uneven spots. Messy weeds and dark branches are cunning camouflage clothes. The grasshopper lay leisurely on his forehead, tickling, and Liu Xiang just gritted his teeth and did not move, for fear of making any noise. After resting contentedly, the big green grasshopper patiently stroked its long beard, suddenly spread its long lavender wings under the green clothes and went away, and soon disappeared from the gap.

Liu Xiang breathed a long sigh of relief. Suddenly, his ankle was caught. With a scream of "Ah", Liu Xiang was dragged out like a wild rabbit, dusty and sweaty.

damn you, hahaha, no wonder I can't find you anywhere. So you are hiding in such a grass nest. Haha, now I declare that the guerrilla warfare Red Army has won. "Qiu shouted. ?

Several topless children with wheat-colored skin cheered and threw their water guns into the sky. Next to a few "prisoners", including Liu Xiang, there was no depressed expression, but they were happy with everyone.

? "I'm so embarrassed, I'm sweating all over, so I'll go down to take a shower."

A dozen boys clamored to run down the mountain, all of them scurrying around like apes among the rocks in the dense forest, and a group of beautiful figures flashed in the Woods from time to time. At present, it is green and green, and the mountain wind is biting in my ears. The children's hearty laughter startled the tits and scared away the rabbits from fighting all the way. The heat in midsummer was trampled on their feet contemptuously.

? In the dazzling summer, Tom, dick and Harry are lying or lying in front of the cement doors, and hens and ducks are hanging their heads in cages. Uncle Zhao, wearing a white silk shirt, shook his cattail leaf fan to enjoy the cool under the Liu Yin, while the grandmothers chattered. Hearing the noise at the head of the village, the old people's faces were covered with the traces of years, and they murmured, "These little rabbits are back."

? A group of mud monkeys made the heat in the mountain village more boiling. They hurried to the old well surrounded by several mud houses at the head of the village. Liu Xiang and Qiu skillfully tied the iron drum with a big red-brown chain. Daniel and He Shun struggled to put the wooden reel on the frame with their tender arms. With a bang, the iron drum stumbled into the well.

? The new well water is sweet and clear, and the rising cold air enters the lungs, which immediately drives away the summer poison. Everyone too many cooks rushed forward to get water, and the well water was wrapped in sweat and dripped wantonly through these young bodies. A bucket of water poured down, and the eardrum was like a cotton ball, but there was no noise of cicadas and the shrill sound of birds in my ears, and the world was instantly refreshing and silent.

? Liu Xiang's father is a big shot. Everyone in Shiliba Village knows that a doctor of economics who has eaten foreign ink has come out of this poor ravine. Hey, it's the Liu family's accumulated virtue that has been blessed by their ancestors. After more than ten years of hard work in business, Liu's father became the top of a multinational company, and he invested in renovating the local primary school a year ago. That day, the village chief took the check with his dusty yellow hand trembling, and his face was beaming. It's really interesting that this big doctor family, Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu don't want to enjoy the so-called retired life with their sons, and Father Liu doesn't insist, so he puts the young Liu Xiang beside his grandparents and stays in a ravine in the middle of nowhere. Some people say that this is to hope that the younger son will also be blessed by his ancestors and cultivate his morality. Some people say that this is to let children experience wild life from an early age. What's more, there must be some secret in Liujiacun, maybe it's a fortune, maybe it's in that well.

? Liu Xiang feels that the world in the mountains is so wonderful, and every day living here is an adventure. The rich and varied life and nature form a bizarre world, and nothing can satisfy the curiosity of children better than this. This group of children's favorite enemies in the village are the old hide-and-seek houses and ancestral halls at the entrance to the village and the old well with cold water in summer and warm hands in winter.

"Grandma, how many years has that well been in our village?" Naughty Liu Xiang deliberately muddied the water in the Shuiwanzi barefoot, so that the little tadpole could plunge into the stone "trap" he had set up, while the clever tadpole disappeared into the water grass with a flick of his tail, which made Liu Xiang very discouraged.

? Grandma, who was washing clothes, patiently said, "Well, this well has been here since your grandmother, my grandmother's grandmother, married in this village."

"So, that well is at least over a hundred years old."

"Hehe, good grandson, it's far more than that."

? Liu Xiang, He Shun and Aqiu sneaked into the ancestral hall while the adults were growing seedlings. They heard that there is a so-called "genealogy" in the village. Qiu said that if you can turn over that book, you may be able to solve the mystery of the old well's age.

? Black sleepers and room pillars slowly appear powder under the corrosion of air, the floor tiles are gray and black, and the red color on the murals has almost fallen. The sunlight has plated a layer of gold on the wooden box on the altar through the window. A few people opened it carefully. "The Liujia family in Lingshan moved to this big pagoda tree well in the Ming Hongwu period ..." Before Liuxiang finished reading it, the village head's hoarse voice suddenly sounded: "What are you little rabbits doing?"

? The three men hurried to the side door, and Liu Xiang was accidentally knocked on his calf by the threshold, and he fell down. He Shun Aqiu lifted him up and jumped into the peach forest. The village chief touched his forehead. What happened to these dolls?

"hey, grandma, be careful." Liu Xiang looked at grandma wiping white wine on her red and purple calf and couldn't help crying.

? Summer nights are like water, flowing briskly and clearly, and the insects are whispering. The light of fireflies makes the babbling children in the cradle confused what is a worm and what is a star. Still hiding half her face from us behind her guitar, a beautiful jade plate hanging high in the night sky, casually shows off her charm, flirting with the burly black clouds.

"Grandpa, tell a story."

"ahem, ok." Grandpa straightened up. "Twenty years ago ..."

? Willow item and the pie mouth, "ah! Grandpa, don't talk about it for many times thirty years ago. "

? In an ordinary summer in 1976, everyone went to the village head to fetch water to water the fields as usual. Surprisingly, the well water that has been clear as a mirror for decades has been muddy and bubbled up. The oldest old man said, this is a sign of great disaster. Let's go to the mountains to avoid disaster at night. The villagers hurried home to get some food, and most of them brought enough rations to spend the night on the hillside that night.

? It was a hard night on the mountain. Seeing the mid-day of the moon, people began to complain. While everyone was whispering, a strong man stood up and said, "Hey, everyone, go home and stop tormenting yourself. There is no disaster, I want to go home and lie on the kang and sleep comfortably. " Say will go down the mountain, and everyone looked at each other.

? "Booming" the earth trembled suddenly, and the sense of movement came from the feet and the body. Suddenly, everyone was stupefied and the atmosphere did not dare to come out. 1 of "bang", a crumbling cowshed of Lao Wang's family on the mountain couldn't stay up and collapsed. It took about three or four minutes before the shaking disappeared, and the villagers breathed a sigh of relief. As a result, everyone dared not leave the hillside all night.

? A few days later, the vendor who came back from going out said in the village, you know, the Tangshan earthquake, the sense of shock from hundreds of miles away actually reached here. Up to now, some people in the village believe that there is a fairy living in the old well, but it is good or bad.

every time Liu Xiang hears this, he will be smart enough to say, "Grandpa, that's natural common sense, it's science."

Time flies. We are friends with mountains all day long, and the days of keeping company with springs certainly have an end. When Liu Xiang was in the third grade in Qingxiang Primary School, she left with all this in tears for the first time in her life. Sitting in his father's car, Liu Xiang looked at the people who were getting smaller at the entrance of the village and learned the sadness of separation for the first time in his life. It's been ten years since I left the Taolin wildflowers, the Qingquan Mountain and the ancestral temple and the old well.

? The sky was misty and the sky was a fish-belly white, and the faint light spread a small piece of brightness on the quilt cover through the gauze curtain, which gradually expanded until the whole bedroom was caged brightly. A young man was lying on his bed, surrounded by printed emails signed by Qiu.

August 15th, 21: Xiang, you graduated from high school. I heard that you were admitted to a university in Beijing. Brothers envy ... The neighboring village started a paper mill and made a fortune, and the village chief began to have an idea. However, Uncle Zhao and Li Nainai said that logging was necessary to set up a factory, so the village chief gave up after arguing ...

January 22, 212: This year's winter came badly, and several old people in the village could not stand it, including Uncle Zhao ...

May 3, 215: Daniel bought a hill at a low price and sold the forest where we fought guerrilla warfare when we were young ... < p I was elected as the person in charge of the project, and the demolition plan includes the old ancestral hall and the old well ...

? Childhood memories are like a colorful pond. I am like an injured sparrow. The more I sink in, the faster I sink, until the water drops drench the down and cool my heart. I look back at the mountains and rivers that swing on the well surface at the moment of suffocation.

"Dad, I want to take a leave from my company the day after tomorrow and go back to the mountains."

? The father who was having breakfast looked up. "Why do you want to go back?"

"I received an email from Guo Ming the other day, so I thought of going back to my hometown and paying homage to my grandparents."

"I haven't been back to see your grandparents for some time." Liu Fu sighed. "Guo Ming is the son of the old Qiu family, right?"

"Yes, it's rare for you to remember"

"Yes, go home. It's all right to go back and have a look, and I'll give you three days off. "

" Well, is there anything else to ask? I'm going to say hello to the elders who are still in the village. "

" Oh, remember to say hello to the village head. By the way, if there is still spring water in the village, bring a small bucket back so that I can make tea. "

?

Liu Xiang walks alone in the night market with red lights and green wine.

colorful neon lights are reflected in endless traffic. The noise of cars and the flattering smiles of men and women have added pressure to the eardrums. Charcoal, tobacco, alcohol, gasoline, perfume, a pot of miscellaneous stew, but it is a bittersweet taste. Huge logistics and people flow around the clock to gather and disperse, which is really a hurried era. Willow item shook his head and opened a number.

"Shen Yu, how about I take you for an outing the day after tomorrow?"

"Can we live in your hometown?"

"Can we see loach, peach grove and stream?"

"Are there any places of interest?"

? It is difficult for Shen Yu, who grew up standing on the Huangpu River, to get into the mountains. Liu Xiang is driving, and he is not bored with his girlfriend's nagging all the way. Looking at Shen Yu's eyebrows, there was a natural smile, and a few strands of hair lazily rubbed against her white face. It's just that her series of questions made Liu a little nervous, because he didn't know if there were any of these things.

? At the head of the village, you can see a burly young man in sportswear waiting under the big willow tree. Get off.

"Hey, Qiu" and "Good boy, don't come back for so many years"

? When old friends meet, it is inevitable to have a greeting.

"Haha, I heard that you are doing well, and you have been elected as the village secretary, ah."

Qiu waved his hand. "You laughed at me, but you don't have the momentum of your company's big boss."

"Come on, I also work for my old man."

"Look at what you said, let's walk back to the village and talk."

"Hey, this willow is really big." Shen Yu looked at the gloomy village and said. At the sight of this big tree, Liu Xiang remembered that the old people who enjoyed the cool air under the willow trees when they were children were gone now, and they could not help shaking Shen Yu's hand.

? The village has changed a lot, Liu Xiang sighed.

"Many families in the village renovated and built brick houses, and some rich families built two-story buildings." Aqiu paused. "The money from selling trees."

? The street is no longer a yellow dirt road, but a neat cement road. Zhang's tractor and Li's car are all expected.

"Brother Qiu, I heard from Liu Xiang that you caught loaches and picked peaches when you were young."

"Haha, yeah, well, now that the reservoir has been drained, the loaches are gone, and the wild peach trees are almost cut down because of quarrying." Qiu shook his head.

? "What about mountain springs and wild rabbits? Also gone? " Shen Yu was surprised and asked

? "When the river is dirty, people have to take mountain spring water to make a living. Every few years, the mountain springs dry up. Where can I find a place to nest for rabbits in the cut mountain? "

? Liu Xiang clenched his fist. "Qiu, let's not go into the village first. Let's go to the old ancestral temple."

? The old well, who has experienced countless spring, summer, autumn and winter, still lies there with his chest open and open, ready for anyone to ask for it. The quaint lines have faded a little under the tempering of time. Seeing an old friend who has been dreaming for years is carefree and intact. Maybe my hometown will last forever because of this.

? Ah Qiu lit a cigarette, and the light blue smoke was tangled in the mountain wind: "In two months, these old houses and this well will be ..."

? Shen Yu watched this quaint old well. Green moss grows in the uneven cracks in the rock, the old wooden roller gradually cracks, and the rusty chain is telling the vicissitudes of these years sadly.

? Shen Yu asked, "Is this well a hundred years old?"

? Qiu laughed. "My grandfather's grandfather had it since he was a grandfather."

? "Is there an exact year?"

? "Hey, who in the village knows this?"

? "The pattern of this well, the inscription next to it, and these old houses are not simple." After that, she took a few continuous shooting photos with her mobile phone, wrapped a few striped stones on the well floor with a scarf, and smiled cunningly: "I have to take them back to school to study them well."

two months later.

Shen Yu intimately held Liu Xiang in the crowd and watched the radiant village chief speak at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. He talked from the end of the Western Han Dynasty to the early Republic of China, from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to Yang Guifei, and from Sima Xiangru to Wei Zhongxian. Presumably, the village chief must have carefully studied Sun Tzu's junior high school textbooks last night.

? Looking at the old well tied with red flowers and full of energy, Liu Xiang rubbed his eyes, only to be sure that these are true. Half a month ago, Shen Yu took her mentor, the prestigious archaeologist, to announce in front of the media by the old well that this well had existed in the late Western Han Dynasty after our research and the study of the county's history and genealogy. These antiquities are also the cultural heritage of the Qing Dynasty.
