Liu Xianyang runs quickly at the back of a wicker basket, Chen Ping'an is watching the scene of drilling a well earth moving by the well, Liu Xianyang to the Chen Ping'an buttocks is being a foot, almost tramples straw sandal youngster one to go fall flat on one's face, then after finding is the tall youngster, then has not haggled over. Liu Xianyang said carelessly: „Matter became, Master Ruan said that made me for several days, not run all over the place here honestly, during the daytime dug a well, in the evening hammering, after a ten-day period half, my even he first disciple small town, calling any Opening Mountain disciple to come. I made a wicker basket to come to you, helping you touch the stone, touched from the blacksmith's shop, touched till the covered bridge that side, beforehand reached an agreement, the water hole of Azure Ox Back that place, I helped you, Master Ruan said that I dare to bridge over north covered bridge for several days, west two place half steps, broke my leg.” 刘羡阳很快背着一只箩筐跑回来,陈平安正在水井旁边观看凿井运土的情景,刘羡阳对着陈平安屁股就是一脚,踹得草鞋少年差点一个狗吃屎,回头瞧见是高大少年后,便没计较。刘羡阳大大咧咧道:“事情成了,阮师傅说让我这些天,老老实实在这边别乱跑,白天挖井,晚上打铁,一旬半之后,我就算他在小镇这边的第一个徒弟,叫啥开山弟子来着。我给你弄了个箩筐过来,帮你摸石头去,从铁匠铺这边摸上去,摸到廊桥那边为止,事先说好,青牛背那个地方的水坑,我是帮不了你的忙了,阮师傅说我这些天敢跨过廊桥以北、以西两个地方半步,就打断我的腿。” Liu Xianyang a neck that has hugged the straw sandal youngster, talked in whispers: „Master Ruan said that the small town will not lose the thing, added these outsiders, observes a very strange custom, businessman who made the fair business, was the swindler of swindling and abducting, the beggar who even recycled waste can also do, could not be the stealthy thief thief only, said in this, Heavens will not nap will not close one's eyes, stared at us to look that you said the to terrify person not to terrify person, in any case my to terrify.” 刘羡阳一把搂过草鞋少年的脖子,窃窃私语道:“阮师傅说小镇是不会丢东西的,还说那些外乡人,遵守一条很古怪的规矩,做得了公平买卖的商贾,也做得了坑蒙拐骗的骗子,甚至连捡破烂的乞丐也能做,唯独做不了鬼鬼祟祟的窃贼小偷,说在这,老天爷不会打盹不会闭眼,就盯着咱们看呢,你说瘆人不瘆人,反正我瘆得慌。” Liu Xianyang threatens to say suddenly: „Surnamed Chen, the my family house you can continue to live, but do not wait for me to go back, your already my family that treasure armor selling!” 刘羡阳突然威胁道:“姓陈的,我家宅子你可以继续住着,可是别等我回去,你已经把我家的那具宝甲给卖了啊！” A Chen Ping'an fist thump in the Liu Xianyang chest, the thump resulted in the tall youngster to let go hastily, makes an effort to rub several slow panting, scolded: „The short-haired pelt monkey of thin bamboo pole, where comes such big strength! could it be that takes 100 li (0.5 km) mountain road with Old Man Yao regularly, or chopping firewood charking several months in the remote mountain, can the rising physical strength?” 陈平安一拳捶在刘羡阳胸口,捶得高大少年连忙松手,使劲揉了几下才缓过气,骂道:“瘦竹竿似的小毛猴子,哪来这么大的力气！难道跟姚老头隔三岔五走个一百里山路,或是在深山里砍柴烧炭几个月,就能往死里涨气力？” Chen Ping'an said with a smile: „In any case I at the back of one basket of stones, but can also first run back the small town compared with you.” 陈平安笑道:“反正我背着一筐石头,还能比你先跑回小镇。” The Liu Xianyang squint said: „Whom do we compare under water feeling suffocated long time?” 刘羡阳斜眼道:“那咱俩比比谁在水底憋气久？” Close to the stream bank, Chen Ping'an bends the waist to curl up the pants leg, along with tastes: „Compared with the matter of one breath, I am not only dry.” 临近溪畔,陈平安弯腰卷起裤管,随口道:“只比一口气的事情,我才不干。” before going into the water, Chen Ping'an pulled out many stream banks spring the straw cushion in the wicker basket, but also talked incessantly to say every time after picking 20 stones, must front some grass again. Must to fling the back wicker basket Liu Xianyang bothersomely to Chen Ping'an, the latter does not comply, said that changes into itself to carry the words of wicker basket, according to Liu Xianyang that rash temper, will certainly throw the stone to enter the wicker basket directly, he will love dearly. Liu Xianyang almost must throw up one's job at the scene, these colorful stones, for a lot of years are not worth a red cent, how on precious as gold were fragile to your Chen Ping'an? Also dares to shut out the Uncle Liu technique to be not very gentle? 下水之前,陈平安拔了许多溪畔春草垫在箩筐里,还唠叨说每捡二十块石头后,就要再垫些草。把刘羡阳烦得要把背后箩筐甩给陈平安,后者不答应,说换成自己背箩筐的话,按照刘羡阳那种毛躁性子,一定会直接丢石头进箩筐,他会心疼。刘羡阳差点当场就要撂挑子,这些个花花绿绿的石头,千百年来始终一文不值,怎么到了你陈平安这边就金贵娇气起来了？还敢嫌弃刘大爷的手法不够温柔？ Arrived finally, the tall youngster was still the reluctant ground water touched the stone, Chen Ping'an with it one on the left and other on the right, planned to sweep this small stream thoroughly. Here creek water are still many are the knee height, some high places, meet the water level and waist slightly, occasionally also has and the others the high small water hole, many are the temporary lodgings that the giant stone gathers, to these places, is Liu Xianyang gives full play, first takes off to give to squat the straw sandal youngster on giant stone the wicker basket, he dives under water, from colossus big stone Fengxi, even is in the overlapping stone pile, pulls out snake bluestone that he wants. 只是到最后,高大少年仍是不情不愿地下水摸石,陈平安与之一左一右,打算将这条小溪彻底扫荡一遍。这边溪水依然多是膝盖高低,一些个稍高处,才会水位及腰,偶尔也有等人高的小水坑,多是巨石聚拢的落脚处,到了这些地方,就是刘羡阳大显身手的时候了,先将箩筐摘下递给蹲在巨石上的草鞋少年,他就一口气潜到水底,从庞然大物的大石缝隙、甚至是层层叠叠的石堆里,掏出他想要的蛇胆石。 Naturally Chen Ping'an can also achieve, will be only will be very laborious, time-consuming will expend effort to go far beyond Liu Xianyang. 当然陈平安也做得到,只是会很辛苦,耗时耗力远远超过刘羡阳。 Also without touching covered bridge, the wicker basket filled 78, including together the dark green snake bluestone, Liu Xianyang touched three times under a gulf, touches with great difficulty, it like the palm, the mixture has the golden twinkle star greatly, has the water undulation trace, lithical firm thin, starts to sink, when Chen Ping'an strokes gently by the hand, really has however to splash sparklingly the feeling of point. 还没有摸到廊桥,箩筐就满了七八分,其中有一块墨绿色的蛇胆石,刘羡阳在一处深坑水底摸了三次,才好不容易摸出来,它大如手掌,夹杂有金色的星星点点,有水波状纹路,石质坚细,入手极沉,当陈平安以手摩挲,竟然有烁烁然溅起锋芒之感。 Only the if it were not for blind person, knows that this stone is not very common. 只要不是瞎子,就知道这块石头很不一般。 Finally two youngster sit in together the stream on side-by-side the giant stone, Liu Xianyang both hands support in the stone bridge surface, looks creek water that is flowing slowly, asked: „Chen Ping'an, you have thought, can leave the small town?” 最后两个少年肩并肩坐在一块溪中巨石上,刘羡阳双手撑在石面上,望着缓缓流淌的溪水,问道:“陈平安,你想过以后要离开小镇吗？” Chen Ping'an replied: „ Temporarily has not thought that going far must have money, moreover after departure, house what to do, no one is helping tidying up, if which heaven collapses what to do? Moreover that side my parents' grave mound, 陈平安回答道:“暂时没想过,出远门总得有钱吧,而且离开之后,宅子怎么办,也没人帮着收拾,万一哪天垮了咋办？而且我爹娘的坟头那边, Also needs me to pull out the weed frequently. ” Helpless Liu Xianyang said: „How you always think so many useless things, boring, no wonder Song Jixin said that you are the life that the ghost builds a wall, gets out of trouble in the place of such trivial, cannot walk for a lifetime.” 也需要我经常去拔杂草。”刘羡阳无奈道:“你怎么总想这么多没用的事情,没意思啊,难怪宋集薪说你就是鬼打墙的命,在这么个屁大的地方兜兜转转,一辈子都走不出去。” Chen Ping'an turns the head asked with a smile: „You still remember that previous time I had told you matter, is that tree.” 陈平安转头笑问道:“你还记得上次我跟你说过的事情吗,就是那棵树。” Liu Xianyang said ill-humoredly: „Grave mound grew a tree, should make a fuss about nothing? Also, that is also the Chen Clan another ancestor's grave mound, relations with your Chen Ping'an not half copper coin!” 刘羡阳没好气道:“坟头长了一棵树,也值得大惊小怪的？再说了,那也是陈氏另外一支老祖宗的坟头,跟你陈平安没有半颗铜钱的关系！” Chen Ping'an sits cross-legged to sit, deeply moved said in a soft voice: „Does not know outside the small town, are person surnamed Chen many.” 陈平安盘腿而坐,轻声感慨道:“不知道小镇以外,姓陈的人多不多啊。” Liu Xianyang undermines saying: „I outside small town do not know, I only know in the small town, surnamed Chen, only then kitten puppy two or three, moreover besides you, probably is the children of domestic slaves of that four surname ten clans, for generations servants status, what is funny, these people treat as the beast of burden inside the house, lowers the head to bend the back, so long as had/left these big houses, saw that everyone traded the face immediately, most likes being a snob. Therefore Old Man Yao said right, if your Chen Ping'an which day also gives them immediately the person, your has not transferred out Chen Clan of small town, even is annihilated.” 刘羡阳拆台道:“小镇以外的我不知道,我只知道在小镇上,姓陈的只有小猫小狗三两只,而且除了你之外,好像全是那四姓十族的家生子,世世代代的奴婢身份,好笑的是,这些人在宅子里头当做牛马,低头哈腰,可只要出了那些大宅子,见到所有人就立即换了面孔,最喜欢狗眼看人低。所以姚老头说得对,要是你陈平安哪天也去给他们当下人,那你们这一支没有迁出小镇的陈氏,就算全军覆没喽。” According to the view of Old Man Yao, person surnamed Chen most has two in the small town, but very early moves, Chen Ping'an this, before also exuberant, but before this „,” was really long, Old Man Yao did not talk clearly is several hundred years, 500 years, 800 years? In 1000? Afterward was divided into several, the person was getting more and more scarce, the luck probably gave moving out that to carry off, burning incense broke frequently, many grave mounds gradually no one safeguarded, the mountain top that in addition most graves were, one after another by the overseeing the manufacture of officer who Imperial Court sent, ordered to turn into mountains of the prohibiting. 按照姚老头的说法,姓陈的人最早在小镇有两支,只不过其中一支很早就迁出去,陈平安这一支,以前也旺盛过,只不过这个“以前”实在是太久了,就连姚老头也说不清楚是几百年,五百年,八百年？还是一千年了？后来又分成好几房,人丁越来越稀少,运气大概是都给外迁的那支带走了,香火经常断,以至于许多坟头都渐渐没人看管了,加上大部分坟所在的山头,陆陆续续被朝廷派来的督造官,下令变成了一座座封禁之山。 Old Man Yao brings Chen Ping'an to walk into the mountain for the last time, after a mountain top time, referred to a place looking to him, said that naturally Chen Clan another ancestor burying place, the tomb in that mountain top, the geomancy was very good. As for Chen Ping'an this, Old Man Yao said that daoist immortal could not look, nearly for several hundred years, this descendants surnamed Chen were unpromising, performing was some families whose fortunes are on the decline, except for dying to be supporting not to four surname ten clans, when the slave was the maid, had no merit to speak. 姚老头最后一次带陈平安进山,经过其中一座山头的时候,指了个地方给他看,说那是陈氏另外一支的老祖宗下葬地方,坟墓就在那座山上,风水很好。至于陈平安这一支的,姚老头说神仙也找不着了,近几百年来,这一支姓陈的子孙都没出息,尽是些破落户,除了死撑着没给四姓十族当奴做婢,一无是处。 Chen Ping'an has time has looked for that Chen Clan old ancestor's grave mound secretly, finally to the place, is only the weed, but also saw many fox and rabbit, has not seen the grave mound, tree that including straw sandal youngster cannot recognize, is not high, in the old locust tree tree compared with town/subdues may want to be shorter. 陈平安有次偷偷去找过那座陈氏老祖的坟头,结果到了地方,只是杂草,还看到了许多狐兔,就是没看到坟头,其中有一棵草鞋少年认不得的树,不高,比镇上的老槐树可要矮很多。 Overgrown with weeds, fox and rabbit appears and disappears, alone and forsaken, a tree alone potassium alum. 杂草丛生,狐兔出没,孤苦伶仃,一树独茂。 Chen Ping'an shakes the head saying: „Before my mother walks, wants me to pledge, can, when begged for food, even if starved to death, cannot I give these wealthy and powerful family person family belongings servants.” 陈平安摇头道:“我娘走之前,要我发过誓,可以当要饭的,哪怕饿死,也不许我给那些大户人家当下人。” Liu Xianyang blurted out: „Before your mother dies, does not want you to pledge, can't go to dragon kiln to work as the apprentice absolutely?” 刘羡阳脱口而出道:“那你娘亲死前,不是还要你发过誓,绝对不可以去龙窑当学徒？” The straw sandal youngster complexion is low-spirited, without rebuttal , after had not been exposed shortcomings, becomes angry out of shame. 草鞋少年脸色黯然,没有反驳,也没有被揭短后恼羞成怒。 Liu Xianyang is somewhat guilty, was not that making the mistake is willing saying that afterward „sorry” the temperament of three characters, must disguise nothing happened, set out saying: „Walked, digs a well, right here, I rubbed a grinding with Master Ruan again, striving make you come to work as the casual laborer apprentice, when the time comes wanted to touch the stone is also easy.” 刘羡阳有些愧疚,又不是那种做错事后愿意说“对不起”三个字的脾气,只得假装什么都没有发生,起身道:“走了走了,挖井去,对了,我再跟阮师傅磨一磨,争取让你来这边当个短工学徒,到时候想要摸石头也容易。” Chen Ping'an said: „Was not anxious, waits for that two groups of people to lose heart to leave the small town to say again, these days I helped you look after the house.” 陈平安说道:“不急,等那两拨人死心离开小镇再说,这段时间我帮你看家。” Liu Xianyang asked curiously: „You said why I study with a teacher with Master Ruan, can escape?” 刘羡阳好奇问道:“你说为啥我跟阮师傅拜师学艺,就能逃过一劫？” Chen Ping'an thinks, does not determine saying: „Like rains suddenly, can you look for eaves to hide?” 陈平安想了想,不确定道:“就像突然下雨,你总得找个屋檐躲躲吧？” Liu Xianyang turns the head to look to the sword furnace stithy, „you said that Master Ruan, looks not to seem like the fierce person, can suppress that two groups of people?” 刘羡阳转头望向剑炉铁铺,“你说阮师傅到底谁啊,看着不像是多厉害的人嘛,压得住那两拨人吗？” The Chen Ping'an comfort said: „You can't judge a person by their appearance.” 陈平安安慰道:“人不可貌相。” Liu Xianyang turns the head saying: „Your Chen Ping'an looks to seem like the poor person, your is or isn't poor person?” 刘羡阳转头说道:“你陈平安看着像是穷人,那你是不是穷人？” Chen Ping'an grins, is speechless. 陈平安咧咧嘴,无话可说。 Liu Xianyang stands up, asks: „Can help you carry to covered bridge that side?” 刘羡阳站起身,问道:“要不要帮你背到廊桥那边？” Chen Ping'an shakes the head saying: „Does not use, is not heavy.” 陈平安摇头道:“不用,也不重。” „Remembers next time wicker basket also me.” “记得下次把箩筐还我。” After Liu Xianyang spoke these words, jumps down the giant stone directly, the half step vanguard in creek water, splashing the water splash are innumerable. 刘羡阳说完这句话后,直接跳下巨石,在溪水中快步前行,溅起水花无数。 Chen Ping'an carries the wicker basket, got down the giant stone cautiously, after coming ashore, goes to the covered bridge that side line slowly. 陈平安背起箩筐,小心翼翼下了巨石,上岸后,缓缓向廊桥那边行去。 After Chen Ping'an walked a distance, hears hears sound of footsteps behind, turns the head to look, is Liu Xianyang. 陈平安走了一段路程后,就听到身后传来一阵脚步声,转头望去,是刘羡阳。 Under the genial sunlight of early spring, the tall youngster has snatched the wicker basket of straw sandal youngster, oneself carry, turns the head to ridicule: „Visits you from afar at the back of the wicker basket, with small grasshopper back big stone, is really pitiful, shows a round of kindness of heart, helping you carry to covered bridge that side said again.” 初春的和煦阳光下,高大少年抢过草鞋少年的箩筐,自己背起,转头讥讽道:“远远看你背着箩筐,就跟小蚂蚱背大石头似的,真是可怜,就发发善心,帮你背到廊桥那边再说。” In the spring breeze, two youngster are walking together. 春风里,两个少年一起走着。 „Surnamed Chen, if later I the scholarship has, must must have a look, to marry also to want the attractive wife compared with Zhi Gui, drinks the most expensive nice wine, lives in the greatest house, but must ride the quickest horse!” “姓陈的,以后我要是学艺有成,一定要要出去看看,娶到比稚圭还要好看的媳妇,喝最贵的好酒,住最大的宅子,还要骑最快的马！” „I must look at and day equally high mountain, looks compared with on our small stream big innumerable rivers.” “我要去看跟天一样高的山,去看比咱们小溪大上无数的大河。” „In brief, my Liu Xianyang this whole life will not treat absolutely waits for death here.” “总之,我刘羡阳绝对不会这辈子都待在这里等死。” In the spring breeze, the tall youngster is looking forward to the future, straw sandal youngster thin chewing grassroots, said, listens. 春风里,高大少年憧憬着未来,草鞋少年细嚼着草根,一个说,一个听。 - -- Chen Ping'an carries Liu Xianyang
