The snuff bottle passed down from Fatty's family was sold for 100 yuan. Speaking of which, it was a lot of money in those days, but no amount of money was enough for Fatty and I to squander.WWW.tsxsw.COM

No, by the time Fatty and I were about to go to northern Shaanxi to receive re-education as poor and lower-middle peasants, we were already penniless again.

Just like that, the fat man and I took only a few changes of clothes, got on the train bound for northern Shaanxi, and were carried away, rumbling away, straight towards the high loess slopes of northern Shaanxi with crisscrossed ravines.

…

…

The sky is yellow, and when the wind blows, yellow dust fills the sky. The earth is broken, and thousands of years of erosion have made the high loess slopes covered with ravines, just like the wrinkled face of the old branch secretary who spoke on the stage.

Face.

After taking the train for a few days, I came to this barren ravine - Liushu Village. At first glance, I saw this land with "willow" in its name, but in fact there was no green star at all. At second glance, I saw

When I think of those local old farmers in rags and rags, and when I think of the women squatting at the door, taking cold water, and gnawing on cornbread, I feel like dying.

I had heard that northern Shaanxi was poor, but I didn’t expect it to be so poor. I had no hope of living with electric lights and telephones upstairs and downstairs, but... I can’t eat that thing. Can I chew it? See that hard

The food was as good as a stone, and my teeth started to feel weak. What was even more despairing was the tone of Secretary Li who was speaking on the stage. He didn’t even think he was full with this cornbread... I looked at him on the spot.

Hei fell into the fat man's arms.

I just came to this hellish place, and I haven’t even shaken off the yellow dust on my body. Who is interested in listening to the old man Li Zhishu’s chatter? Apart from me and the fat man, there were two women and two men in the group, and we all yawned. Fortunately,

Secretary Li also knew what was going on and stopped talking after a few words. Of course, it could be that he was at a loss for words, I thought maliciously. We went to him to get some food rations for us educated youths, and then we staggered back.

We went to the cave dwelling assigned to us and started our career as farmers.

At night, I was sleeping soundly. I dreamed that I was in Lao Mo and ordered a table of dishes - beetroot soup, grilled fish with butter and so on. Just as I was about to start eating, the waiter came up and asked: "Do you want caviar?"

"I don't know where I got the confidence, so I said I'd like to have something delicious to eat. After a long while, the waiter didn't move. I got angry on the spot. When I looked up, it was Zhishu Li's wrinkled face.

, and even opened his mouth and smiled at me!

I sat up in a hurry and woke up with a fright. I looked at the cave dwelling with air leakage everywhere. It was so different from the dream that I couldn't accept it! While I was shaking my head and sighing, the fat man also woke up.

He poked me and whispered: "Taozi, can't you sleep?"

"Well! You can't sleep at all. Didn't you brag to me last time that you could fall asleep as soon as you touched the ground? Our conditions are not good, but at least we still have a kang!"

The fat man didn't say anything to me. He sat up as well, wiped the cold sweat from his head, and said: "I fell asleep a long time ago. I just dreamed of eating at Lao Mo. I was enjoying my meal when all the dishes on the table changed.

There are so many nests that my teeth are broken..."

Hey, I was very happy when I heard it. As expected of a buddy, he even had similar dreams.

"Taozi, Huang Jianguo and the others have just counted and found out that our rations cannot last for the wheat harvest at all, and there are still several months to go! What do you think we brothers should do?"

Huang Jianguo was a male educated youth who was with us. As soon as we returned to the cave dwelling, I fell down on the kang and lost consciousness. They were responsible for counting the food and so on.

"What are you afraid of? The village can still let us starve to death! ** said that we are 'children who can be educated well', so we cannot be turned into children who can 'starve to death'!"

I'm trying to hold on, and I think Fatty understands that. I just looked at the situation in the village, and I'm afraid it's really possible for people to starve to death.

"I just heard from Old Man Li that our area, Liushu Village, is full of thalassemia! In good years, we can still make ends meet, otherwise the whole village will have to go to the county town to beg for food!"

"Begging for food?" I turned pale as soon as I heard it. Although no one could see it in the dark, I knew in my heart that with the look on my face right now, my friend could look scary without even wearing makeup.

"Yes, the people in the village have said that there are only three out of ten years where the situation is okay and there is no need to beg for food! Taozi, what do you mean by this? We will run out of food in two months, so we can't beg for food too!

"

"Hmph! Begging for food? We can't afford to lose it. It depends on my brother's methods. With our 'craftsmanship', there is no problem in making enough food!"

…

…

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

I squatted on the loess, pulling the loess on the ground, watching the sunset, cursing in my heart: You thief, why does it get dark so fast? It’s almost dinner time, but there’s not even a nest in the house.

Okay, what can we offer as sacrifices to our five internal organs temple?

After the fat man finished carrying the water, he came over and squatted next to me, took out a bunch of dry cigarettes and handed them over. The two of us smoked and sighed at the sunset for a long time.

The so-called dry tobacco rolling is to get some dry tobacco and roll it up with the homework paper that you have written on. That's it, we two brothers don't have much.

"Taozi, do you have anything else? Let's go find a fellow villager to exchange for some food!"

I rolled my eyes at him and said angrily: "It's gone a long time ago. Do you still want to take off the clothes I'm wearing?"

"Then what should I do? Taozi, didn't you say you were looking at your craftsmanship last time? I see you haven't done any work these days and just wandered around on these loess lumps all day long. Do you have anything to show for it?"

"This... I didn't find it!" Although I was thick-skinned, I couldn't stand it and started to feel hot.

"How dare you fool me and touch the Jin Xiaowei family? You can't even find a tomb."

"You can't blame me for that. My old Zhang family didn't pass down the Dragon-Seeking Technique of dividing gold and fixing acupuncture points in the gold shop, right?"

Every time I think about this, I get extremely depressed. Although my great-grandfather came from a noble family, he failed to learn the "Dragon-Seeking Technique" that is a special skill of Captain Mojin. Colonel Mojin is not one of those cheap tomb robbers.

Thieves are an old sect in the fighting business. They pay attention to leaving a way out and not doing anything without success. A family like my old Zhang family not only pays attention to these rules when fighting, but also pays attention to leaving a way out for themselves.

There is no way out, so as not to cut off the incense. Every generation and every house must find a man, and they must not learn the skill of touching the golden mound passed down from their ancestors. After all, no matter how good the skill is, it will inevitably fail sometimes. Often by the river

Let's go, there is no one who doesn't get his shoes wet. A good swimmer will drown in the water. If you don't know how to touch gold, you won't fight upside down. At least you can leave a lasting impression on the old Zhang family.

My great-grandfather, Fourth Master Zhang, happened to be one of the people of his generation who was singled out to leave incense, so he never learned the ancestral dragon-seeking technique. But maybe it was because of his bloodline, the old man had been fighting against Dou Dou since he was a child.

Although he couldn't learn the thaumaturgy of dividing gold and fixing acupuncture points, he learned the art of changing the number of organs and counting them to a close.

This Fourth Master Zhang is also really remarkable. When he was older, he traveled around the world as a Taoist priest and made a living by fortune-telling. With his countless accomplishments, he quickly became famous and was known as the Fourth Master Zhang who has a golden tongue and jade words. He has seen a lot. After learning widely, and corroborating with family traditions, he actually achieved success. As he grew older, he stopped wandering, married a wife and had children, and wrote a book "Xunlong Supplement" to be passed down to future generations. It is divided into Yi , in the second chapter of "Skills", "Yi" records the knowledge of "Yishu", and "Skills" refers to the Maoshan School's tricks of drawing talismans and catching ghosts that Zhang Siye learned when he was wandering around the rivers and lakes. He has never been able to learn the Dragon Seeking Technique in his whole life. It is a pity that it is called Xunlong Supplement.

The ancestral book "Xunlong Supplement" has taught me almost a long time ago. As long as I get to the end of the field, I believe that it will be easy to fight with our methods. However, without touching the Feng Shui technique passed down by Jin Xiaowei, I can't find it at all. If you don’t get to the ancient tomb, it’s really hard to make a meal without straw!

"Let's go to that old man, Secretary Li, and ask if there are any ancient tombs nearby, so as to save us from searching like a headless fly. When we get to the end of the field, let's see what we do!"

There is no way to go on like this. It seems that we have to try our luck at Party Secretary Li! Usually there are some ancient tombs around, and the old people in the village must know something about them.
