Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 104 The First Day

However, the background reflected in the main story line of two men competing for this married woman is that European and American material civilization invaded the inland of the Shudu Plain, the mutual agitation and ebb and flow of the two forces of the local religious people and Paoge, and the feudal forces in the colonization. The retreat before the power.

One kind of darkness replaced another kind of darkness, and the stagnant water was still stagnant water, only with a small wave.

In the story, Li Jieren did not show any sympathy for any tragic characters. If there is sympathy, it is for the whole era. The struggle and submission of the little characters in front of the fate are described by him in a simple way, which leaves readers with great memories. Big room for thinking.

But Zhou Zhi couldn't tell his friends like this, because they were still establishing the Three Views, so he specifically mentioned a detail in the novel.

That is, the meal for ancestor worship needs to be prepared by my mother and second sister, but the second sister wants to be lazy and let this woman named Sister Deng Yao help. My mother hesitated and said: "Ancestor worship..."

Sister Deng Yao grabbed the spatula and said with a smile, "My wife is too serious, I am clean!"

Just a small detail reflects many things, giving the protagonist of this novel a subjective background in advance.

After the story was told, there was some silence in the team.

Zhou Zhi knows that the three views of the little friends have been washed away, because until now, everyone they know has protected and cared for them, and their minds have not yet fully matured.

The world in their hearts is pure and beautiful, and they have never seen the darkness and distortion of society and human nature shown in "Still Water".

Jiang Shuyi hesitated for a while: "Zhou Zhi, can such a person become the protagonist of a novel?"

Zhou Zhi said: "Shu Yi, your question is very strange. You can accept such protagonists as Kong Yiji and Luotuo Xiangzi. Why do you not accept Deng Yaojie, who is called Mrs. Cai in the main storyline? gone?"

"Actually, I know the reason, because she is a woman, so everyone hopes that the portrayal of female characters, even if the fate is tragic, but also hope that her soul is pure."

"This novel does not do this, which is its value. At the end of the story, when the heroine succumbs to the fate, there are both subjective reasons and objective reasons, and there is no judgment for everyone, which one has the greater proportion. "

"From the context of the story, the heroine is very disgusted with the colonial powers, but from the protests of the heroine and her parents at the end of the story, the author did not emphasize this point, but deepened our motivation for choosing the heroine. suspicion."

"Because of this little bit of suspicion, everyone feels uncomfortable, so from everyone's reaction, we can know the difference in the degree of tolerance for the imperfection of men and the imperfection of women in this society."

"That's good, that's a little gain."

Although Feng Xueshan is a love supremacist, but because she has read a lot of heart-abusing articles and is well-informed, she sobered up the fastest: "That's why I said earlier that elbows have complicated thoughts, read it!"

Wei Fei is a science dog, a straight man with a natural immunity to these things: "That's right, I don't even bother to look at such complicated things!"

"Hi! What I mean is that a good book never tires of reading a thousand times. The same work, read at different ages, with different levels of knowledge, at different times, will have different insights and different gains."

After finishing speaking, I also laughed: "However, the attitude of Xueshan and the plane is right. What I just said, it is enough for Shu Yi and Xin Yi to take it back to deal with parents. Don't forget what the main task of our trip is. ?”

"Play!" With Yan Xiao's announcement, the team immediately threw those just out of the blue.

It happened to be the time to set up camp at noon, and the thoughtful arrangement was to go on the road every morning, cook until [-] o'clock in the afternoon, play around after eating, gather and chat by the campfire until evening, and repeat it the next day.

The road is along the road to the forest farm. The road is built along a valley. This beautiful valley is the tour route for this trip.

The stream in the mountain was very clear, Zhou Zhiyang, Mu Ruyun and Feng Xueshan came to cook and prepare dishes, Fang Wenyu and Yan Xiao were in charge of pulling the tarpaulin, and the rest of the friends gathered firewood.

Zhou Zhi reminded everyone to keep company. Although it is unlikely that you will encounter wild boars, black bears, etc., snakes often appear on this road, so you must be careful when collecting firewood.

After Zhou Zhi and Yang He finished building the stove and pulled some firewood, Feng Xueshan and Mu Ruyun had already bought the rice back.

There are no fresh vegetables, only sauerkraut, and Feng Xueshan makes it simple, braised rice with sauerkraut sausage and luncheon meat, then open two cans and pour in more oil and water to finish.

Not long after, Wei Fei ran back with two dead branches: "There is a pond below, and I saw fish!"

Zhou Zhi scolded: "You call it collecting firewood? Are you preparing chopsticks for yourself? Why don't you be lazy!"

"There are really fish, which ones are there!"

"Big ones and small ones?" Now Zhou Zhi is getting excited.

"The palms I saw were long and thin, and they were clustered on the water."

"That's white stripes. Although this fish is easy to catch, it is afraid of people. You need a long pole."

"There are bamboo forests everywhere, are you afraid that you won't have a pole?"

"go!"

Yang He also wanted to go, but he did not forget to report to Feng Xueshan: "Sister Shan, I also want to go and see, is it okay?"

In fact, Feng Xueshan is several months younger than Yang He, but after the battle in Zhou Zhi's kitchen, Feng Xueshan has established a glorious and indelible image in Yang He's heart.

Feng Xueshan also made a big show: "It's still Yang Heguai, let's go, not like Elbow."

While chasing Zhou Zhi and Wei Fei, Yang He was thinking—I seem to have heard this phrase somewhere.

After digging some earthworms under the rotten plantains by a ditch, Zhou Zhi took out a Swiss steel straight knife he had extorted from cousin An Ran, chopped off a few bamboo poles, and came to a pool at the bottom of the stream.

Sure enough, a group of white stripes were circling in the pool, and when they saw someone approaching, they disappeared.

"It was like this just now. When people approached, they would flash away. Can you still catch them?"

"Don't make a noise and they will come back, but it's not easy to hook...you have to stand apart from each other. I'll assemble the line..."

In this way, the three of them started fishing.

After a while, suddenly a stone flew over from nowhere and fell into the water with a plop.

This time I was still fishing for a fart, Zhou Zhi roared angrily: "Salt mouse, it's not you who are to blame!"

He Yongmei and Yan Xiao came over, and He Yongmei said while checking the battle situation: "Xueshan asked you to go back to eat, yo, you are very good at the plane! You have caught so much!"

Zhou Zhi caught fish again, and stretched the bamboo pole to Wei Fei's side: "Yongmei, you didn't investigate beforehand. The fish in his place were caught by me and the monk, and the ones on my side were caught by him."

Because the length of the rod and the line are short, it is inconvenient for one person to take the fish after he has loaded the fish, so Zhou Zhi asked three people to stand in this way and pick the hooks from each other to take the fish.

Wei Fei dropped the pole and started to fetch the fish, and said with a smile, "I don't blame this, it's mainly because it took time to fetch the fish."

The three of them threw the fish directly on the grass behind after fishing. Zhou Zhi took off the line and rewound it back to the spool. string.

Everyone came back to the camp. Ye Xin, Jiang Shuyi, and Zhang Xinyi brought back several kinds of flowers, including wild lilies, prickly pears, and rhododendrons.

Twenty or thirty small fish can't be divided into a few, so they can only beat the teeth for sacrifice. Feng Xueshan is not happy, she doesn't want to do it, she is too lazy to clean up the cutting board and knives, and wastes precious oil.

But this is not a problem for the boars, and they are too lazy to clean up, so they take off the scales and use twigs to pierce them, put them on the side of the remaining charcoal fire and let them roast like this.

The sauerkraut sausage luncheon meat stewed rice is very fragrant, Jiang Shuyi ate it and praised: "Xueshan, you are really capable."

Feng Xueshan and Jiang Shuyi sat together, holding a lunch box in their hands: "Shuyi, have you ever eaten Zhou Zhi's cooking?"

Jiang Shuyi shook his head.

Feng Xueshan smiled: "Then let him come for the next meal, he is not bad."

"Let's go swimming after dinner, the pool where the stone was thrown just now is not bad."

"A fishing pool!" Zhou Zhi emphasized angrily.

"What about girls?" Mu Ruyun realized a very serious problem, he didn't bring swimming trunks.

"Girls can take pictures and tread water." Zhou Zhi said, "Did you bring your harmonica, sir? Everyone can sing later."

"I brought it, but it's an alto harmonica. The female voice is higher and the male voice is lower. I'm afraid it won't be in tune."

"Then let's listen to you." Zhang Xinyi said: "I didn't know Wen Yu could still play this."

"Then eat quickly, the sun is shining at noon, just for swimming, otherwise the water in the mountains will be cold in a while."

"Why don't we stay closer to the stream?" Yan Xiao asked.

"That won't work." Mu Ruyun said: "It's very dangerous to start a bandit in the mountains, you must live above the waterline."

"By the way, do you girls dare to touch crabs? There are a lot of crabs in this stream."

"Can we catch it too?" Several girls were curious.

"Ye Xin is very good, let her teach you how to touch crabs then."

"Anyone who wants to learn photography can also learn photography." Zhou Zhi suggested.

But no one responded, Feng Xueshan said: "We don't need the one you gave us yesterday, we use that point-and-shoot camera."

Zhouzhi brought two cameras this time, one is fully manual, Seagull, and the other is an automatic film machine called a point-and-shoot camera, Minolta AF-C.

Girls seem to be only interested in leaving images of themselves, but not at all interested in how to make images of themselves.

After dinner, it was about three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was just right, so we went to the water pool to play again.

The girls are not far from the boys, and they just move up and down the water pool.

Because Mu Ruyun didn't wear underwear, she had no choice but to join the ranks of the girls, and also acted as a photographer by the way.

Soon there were screams from the girls in the stream below the pool, as they were trying to catch crabs.
