It spoke the truth, Gu Yu had no story to say, was left-behind children parents double perishes probably, was brought up the pain that to compel the experience by the grandfather. 其实说起来,顾玙没什么故事可讲的,大概是一个留守儿童父母双亡,由爷爷抚养成人的苦逼经历。 The grandfather is not a native, in the 80's arrived at this to settle down, will not farm, that actually makes quite fragrant, sells except for oneself, then provides on the Ziyang view to Phoenix Mountain. 爷爷不是本地人,八十年代才到此落户,不会种地,却做的一手好香,除了自己售卖,便是提供给凤凰山上的紫阳观。 However afterward, the commercial development of Daoist temple was getting better and better, the manual system could not meet the need fragrant, shifted to one to make the fragrant factory. That type is also long and thick big fragrance, a column dares to sell 900. 不过后来,道观的商业开发越来越好,手工制香满足不了需求,就转向了一家制香厂。那种又直又长又粗的大香,一柱就敢卖九百块。 Gu Yu studied this craftsmanship since childhood, is the sincerity likes, cultivation has the magical skill. He studies assiduously, sensible diligent, was admitted to the university in provincial capital, but read for two years later, the grandfather contracts the serious illness suddenly. 顾玙从小就学了这门手艺,也是真心喜欢,修炼的颇有道行。他读书刻苦,懂事勤奋,考上了省城的大学,但念了两年后,爷爷忽患重病。 Without considers, he then discontinues studies to go home, personal attendance. However was a pity very much, the savings squandered and owes a foreign loan, the grandfather passed away, only left behind a fragrant side of this yard and room. 没多做考虑,他便辍学回家,贴身照顾。不过很可惜,积蓄花光又欠了点外债,爷爷还是去世了,只留下这座小院和一屋子的香方。 What is only lucky, he has not bumped into the conflict that what nonsense has a stroke of bad luck, very inherited the heritage smoothly. 唯一幸运的是,他没碰到什么狗屁倒灶的争端,挺顺利的继承了遗产。 By the Gu Yu situation, is actually very awkward, the university student who had not studied, might as well a technical college even professional school lives. Baicheng is the small place, the work were not many, image point type he does not go slightly on. 顾玙的情况,其实很尴尬,没念完书的大学生,还不如一个大专甚至技校生实在。白城是小地方,工作本就不多,稍微像点样的他都去不上。 Thinks it over, he steels one's heart, was the mountain person peddler simply. Has the local protectionism, is low-cost, but suffers hardships. 思来想去,丫把心一横,干脆当起了山民小贩。有地方保护,成本低廉,只是受苦。 Suffers hardships did not fear, supporting, is climbing mountains during the daytime, in the evening has the odd-job, had more than one year by the present. Not only paid off the debt, but also accumulated the little money. 受苦不怕,挺着,白天上山,晚上打零工,到现在有一年多了。不仅还清了债务,还攒下了一点点钱。 Clatter clatter clatter!” “嗒嗒嗒!” The wall clock on wall like lacking the machine of oil, was walking the needle that was unwilling not to hope. Gu Yu turned off the computer, met the basin water to the kitchen, then starts to wash the hands. 墙上的挂钟就像缺了油的机器,不甘不愿的走着针。顾玙关了电脑,到厨房接了盆水,便开始洗手。 His finger is slender, neat of very nail scissors, the useless scented soap, is rubbing in the water slowly, resembling to probably clean the skin every inchs. 他的手指修长,指甲剪的十分整齐,没用香皂,就在水中慢慢揉搓着,似要把每一寸的皮肤都要洗净。 Later, he opens the door of that room. 之后,他才推开那间屋子的门。 The light same place, as if illuminated another world, neat, compact, but also has the different kind mystery. Three are gigantic wooden frame, above is suspending bottles of cans, each type is pasting the label, has over a hundred types fully. The corner is also piling two big boxes, center is the square table, full is the strange tool. 灯光一起,仿佛照亮了另一个世界,整齐,紧凑,还带着别样的神秘感。三面都是硕大的木架子,上面摆着瓶瓶罐罐,每样贴着标签,足有上百种。角落还堆着两个大箱子,正中是方桌,满是奇奇怪怪的工具。 This is the Gu Yu work room, never makes the second person come. 这便是顾玙的工作室,从未让第二个人进来过。 Xiaozhai subscribed the awaking incense sticks, he must do as soon as possible. The so-called awaking incense sticks, can purify the mind the awaking brain, gathers the attention, is kind of medicine fragrant one. 小斋订了醒神香,他得尽快做出来。所谓醒神香,就是能清心醒脑,集中注意力,属于类药香的一种。 The system best because of the night fragrant, does not disturb others, was not disturbed by others. It is said fragrant ten virtue, feel the standard ghosts and gods, the pure body and mind and in static to become You, dust to loaf and can stroke the contamination wait/etc.. 制香最好在夜晚,不打扰别人,也不被别人打扰。据说香有十德,感格鬼神、清净身心、静中成友、尘里偷闲、能拂污秽等等。 Static, is basic. 静,是根本。 Gu Yu in the wooden frame anteversion, took down several bottles of cans, then previous sits toward the table. This sits, the makings of whole person changed, quiet, dedicated, that little wave. 顾玙在木架前转了一圈,取下几个瓶瓶罐罐,然后往桌前一坐。这一坐,整个人的气质都发生了变化,沉静,专注,还有那么一点点浪。 The wave still wind is quiet, wave that the flood light vessel goes. 哦,浪静风恬,泛轻舟去的浪。 If according to the online view, the system fragrant burns money, because almost every type will use the agalloch eaglewood and sandalwood. These two goods are much more expensive, and not real. 若按网上的说法,制香就是烧钱,因为几乎每一种都会用到沉香和檀香。这俩货贵得吓死人,而且还不真。 But what he inherits is grandfather's fragrant side, as if passes from a very unique faction, the old gentleman improves. These prescriptions barely use to sink, sandalwood, is in the majority by the common material. For example the awaking incense sticks, with the acorus gramineus, Chinese atractylode, peppermint, multiflower knotweed vine and white Doukou, ice sheet, one circle leaf grass on in addition Phoenix Mountain compound. 但他继承的是爷爷的香方,似乎传自一个很独特的派系,老爷子又加以改良。这些方子很少用到沉、檀,以常见的材料居多。比如醒神香,就是用石菖蒲、苍术、薄荷、夜交藤、白豆蔻、冰片,外加凤凰山上的一种圆叶草配制而成。 Except that the tedious incomparable face powder concocts earlier, the system is divided fragrant probably: Adjusts the putties, formations, principle and to dry in the shade, the cellaring five steps. In these jars is to complete the face powder and sticks the powder, therefore he adjusts the mud directly. 除去前期繁琐无比的香粉炮制,制香大概分为:调泥、成型、理型、阴干、窖藏五个步骤。那些罐子里都是做好的香粉和粘粉,所以他就直接调泥。 Said simply, with sticking the powder mixed the face powder, rubbed even one group like the dough making. Sticks the powder multipurpose elm barks to make, does not have the unusual smell, the coherency is also good, but cannot put. 简单讲,就是用粘粉混上香粉,像和面一样揉成均匀的一团。粘粉多用榆树皮制成,无异味,粘性也好,但不能多放。 In many incense sticks like temple, outburnt the incense ashes to wind unceasingly, was sticks the powder to put many reasons, this was poor fragrant. 像庙里的许多线香,烧完了香灰蜿蜒不断,就是粘粉放多的缘故,这是劣香。 Gu Yu preoccupied a china bowl, puts in the good powder, little watering, little stirring. Until water net, the powder became a lump of pasta type thing. He overlaps from all around toward the middle with the ladle again repeatedly, fully mixes well the pasta, strengthens the density. 顾玙先取了一只瓷碗,放入配好的粉,一点点加水,一点点搅拌。直到水净,粉就成了一坨面团样的东西。他再用勺子反复从四周往中间叠压,将面团充分调匀,加强密度。 It is simple to this, below is essential one step, the formation. 到此都很简单,下面才是关键的一步,成型。 If makes the incense stick, present person to be loaf many, fragrant plug of clay needle insertion in acupuncture manages, then push. This type is actually poor fragrant, the fragrant strip interior that because pushes will not be dense, the smoke that will burn will be quite big. 如果是做线香,现在的人为了偷懒,多把香泥塞进针管里,然后一条条挤出来。这种实际是劣香,因为挤出来的香条内部不密实,烧起来的烟会比较大。 The good method rubs with the hand, compounds the spice and rubs the system incense stick, these two are the system fragrance biggest magical skills. 好的方法是用手搓,配制香料和搓制线香,这两者便是制香最大的道行。 ......” “呼……” Gu Yu sits under the lamp, deep breath one breath, whole person obviously quiet. He pulled a scrap fragrant group, places on the wooden cutting board, sets upright with a finger is starting to rub. 顾玙坐在灯下,深呼吸了一口气,整个人愈显沉静。他扯了一小块香团,放在木制的案板上,用一根手指竖着开始揉搓。 Cannot rubbing, set upright horizontally can adjust the fragrant strip trend with thick or thin. 千万不能横着搓,竖着可以调整香条的走向和粗细。 He looks concentrated, the wholeheartedly on that finger, does not look, but is the feeling. Feels that scrap fragrant group to extend slowly, thins, lengthens...... like using own thought control. 他神情专注,全身心都在那根手指上,不是看,而是感受。感受着那一小块香团慢慢伸展,变细,延长……就像用自己的意念控制一样。 This feeling is very subtle, has practiced the primal chaos knows to listen to the vigor, rubs fragrant also similar, lets the skin of finger the strength and response that goes to listening fragrant group to transmit. 这种感觉很微妙,练过太极的都知道听劲,搓香也类似,让手指的皮肤去“听”香团传来的力道和反应。 Has words saying: Rubbing fragrant then adjusts the heart. 有句话讲:搓香便是调心。 After is a static character. 总归还是一个静字。 Time points pass through, the dim light of night is deep, Gu Yu sets out finally, puts out long air/Qi. Used the half-day effort, altogether rubbed 15, the length approximately ten centimeters, having the toothpick were thick or thin. 时间一点点走过,夜色深沉,顾玙终于起身,吐出一口长气。费了半天劲,一共搓成了十五支,长约十厘米,有牙签粗细。 He is neat the fragrant strip, places on the even paper, covers several white papers again, like this dries in the shade will be quicker. 他把香条切整齐,放在平纸上,再盖上几张白纸,这样阴干的会快一些。 When tomorrow, the fragrant strip will do thoroughly thoroughly, delivers to the small cellaring in institute to put again. Requires half a month time probably, the flavors of various types of spices will fuse, the smoke anger reduces. 等到明日,香条彻底干透,再送到院里的小窖藏放。大概要半个月的时间,各种香料的味道才会融合,烟火气减小。 This is the first batch , he must make 60. 这才是第一批,要知道,他可是要做六十支的。 Therefore , the manual system fragrant person are not why many , because consumes the energy, cannot close. 所以说,为什么手工制香的人不多了,就是因为太耗精力,合不上。 ............ ………… That night, Gu Yu altogether made 30, rests very much late. 当夜,顾玙一共做了三十支,睡得很晚。 However next morning, he gets out of bed on time, cannot attend to eating meal, packs the thing to push a cart to go out. Just went out, this goods summit the running back room, took the incense balls of three expelling worms. 不过次日一早,他还是准时起床,顾不得吃饭,收拾东西就推车出门。刚出去,这货又颠颠的跑回屋,取了三颗驱虫的香丸。 This type of incense ball is harmless, the snakeworm mouse ant actually loathes extremely, almost sees it to stand evades. He walks into the mountain every day, for along necessary, as for original that good...... has given to two younger sisters. 这种香丸对人无害,蛇虫鼠蚁却极其厌恶,几乎见之立避。他每天进山,为随身必备,至于原来的那个,好吧……已经送给俩妹子了。 Little Yu, is the spirit not quite good?” 小玙,精神不太好啊?” Un, yesterday had not had a good sleep. Did you eat?” “嗯,昨天没睡好。您吃了没?” No, assembles one to the mountain on.” “没呢,到山上凑合一口。” Yo, old king you sell the souvenir today, meat string?” “哟,老王你今儿个卖纪念品了,肉串呢?” Has not been buying the duck meat, first rests for several days.” “没买着鸭肉,先歇几天。” In at sixes and sevens dialogue, 67 ride a donkey to drill but actually from various alleys , the natural platoon becomes slides, rides to Phoenix Mountain. 乱七八糟的对话中,六七辆倒骑驴从各条胡同里钻出来,又自然的排成一溜,向凤凰山骑去。 They are the small merchant, the occupation especially are not fixed. Today has the odd job of money-making, that does not climb mountains, tomorrow will not have done exactly, that continues shoulder pole. The sold thing is also mixed, from the skewered mutton of fabrication to the souvenir of wholesale, again to the cucumber, tomato that oneself plant wait/etc., it may be said that has everything expected to find. 他们都是小商贩,职业特不固定。今天有赚钱的零活,那就不上山,明天没活干,那就继续挑担子。卖的东西也杂,从造假的羊肉串到批发的纪念品,再到自家种的黄瓜、西红柿等等,可谓应有尽有。 This job, basically by the person contract of phoenix collection, let alone the people from other place, are the people in East city, south city and north city want to climb mountains, must be stricken a numerous circle to kick, smashes the booth to expel the person. 这号营生,基本被凤凰集的人承包,甭说外地人,就是东城、南城、北城的人想上山,必遭致一众圈踢,砸摊撵人。 Gu Yu following on the heels silently, listening to uncle uncles various types to blow to compel, to the courtyard of old wifeless man, everyone rode a donkey quickly but actually puts away, then walks into the mountain. 顾玙默默的跟在后面,听叔叔伯伯们各种吹逼,很快到了老鳏夫的院子,大家把倒骑驴放好,然后进山。 Still was lining up, walked upward, had various stalls respectively, no one can fight. He also in finally, what front is 40 -year-old man, surnamed Fang, is the Fang Qing father. 仍是排着队,一个一个往上走,各有各的摊位,谁也不能争抢。他还在最后,前面的是个四十来岁的汉子,姓方,正是方晴的父亲。 Little Yu, I have worried that the result of that girl, you said that can test into one high?” 小玙,我就一直愁那丫头的成绩,你说能不能考上一高啊?” Qingqing that examination paper I have looked, to be honest, one high is quite difficult, two high hopes are very big.” 晴晴那卷子我看过,说实话,一高比较难,二高希望还是挺大的。” Oh, she had your least bit skill to be good!

Gu Yu is selecting the burden/shoulder pole, is comforting this pitiful father. 一高就是第一高中,省重点学校,二高就差了一级。顾玙挑着担子,一路都在安慰这个可怜的父亲。 The grandfather is alive or not, Fang has looked after to oneself, Fang Qing also looks like own youngest sister. However she in studying really has no interest, even two high schools, the probability is still half and half. 无论爷爷在世与否,方家对自己一直照顾有加,方晴也像自己的小妹妹。不过她对学习真的没兴趣,即便是二高中,概率也是一半一半。 They said to chat, quite a while arrives at the mountainside, the front person has looked to disappear. 俩人说说聊聊,半天才走到山腰,前面的人已经看不见了。 squeak squeak!” “吱吱!” Cluck!” “咕咕!” Is walking, does not know where heard a cry, is very irritable flustered. They stop the step, about looked, Uncle Fang toward side one finger/refers: That side!” 正走着,不知何处传来了一阵叫声,很是急躁慌张。俩人停下步子,左右看了看,方叔往旁边一指:“那边!” Gu Yu looks, is actually in the right side jungle, a grey wool big squirrel was tripped up by the weed, but not far away, an azure snake is hovering slowly. 顾玙瞧去,却是右侧的密林里,一只灰毛大松鼠被杂草绊住了脚,而不远处,还有一条青蛇在缓缓游动。
