First chapter 第一章 Opens up wasteland() 开荒() Piece of Wu Ming / nameless Continent, some day, clear sky 10,000 li, does not have the cloud to be calm, Heavens Above round Ardent Sun, projected the infinite ray. 一片无名的大陆,某日,晴空万里,无云无风,天上一轮烈日,投射了无穷的光芒。 Suddenly, flashes before a Ring same thing from the sky suddenly, does not know where comes, that towering appearance, as if just passed through Space & Time, is having the extremely high speed, has speedily shot to below mountain peak, but also is bringing strangely „hum” sound. 蓦然,从天空中突然闪现出一个圆环一样的东西,不知道是从哪里来的,就那么突兀的出现,似乎是刚刚穿过时空,带着极高的速度,向下方的山峰疾速射了过去,还带着怪异的“呜呜”声。 Usually, if thing that flies from the day, can it be that to bring the tail of thick smoke, comes, the sound is enormous, can make the entire world see. 平日,若是从天外飞来的事物,莫不是带了浓烟的尾巴,呼啸而至,声响极大,能让整个世界都看到。 But this thing is actually only then short sends out the 's sound sound instantaneously, afterward on „tittering” one sound long sound, deep drills into among the mountain peak stones, disappears. 而此物却是只有短暂的瞬间发出的声响,随后就“噗嗤”一声长响,深深的钻入山峰的石间,不见踪影。 This Time is extremely short, has not provoked the response of any living thing unexpectedly, even/including Zuojin the mountain bird with enough time has not flown. 这时间是极短,竟没有引起任何生物的反应,连左近的山鸟都没来得及飞起来。 Afterward, bird that these are startled, in the airborne slightly plate several circles, falling that flashed, the selfish job, did not know on this Continent, these many a mysterious thing. 随后,那些惊起的鸟儿,在空中稍微盘了几个圈,就扑闪的落下,自顾自的营生,并不知晓这大陆上,就这么多了一件神秘的东西。 But how many years does not know later, the vicissitudes, the thing is the person not, that mountain peak also undercuts, turned into the hillside unexpectedly, many places also turned into the flat land, gradually also had the habitation, even also some people live around this hillside, but this mysterious Ring, what splendid story can also bring? Zhang Xiaohua is very happy, a happy expression of face. 而不知多少年后,桑田沧海,物是人非,那山峰也是下陷,竟变成了山坡,很多的地方也都变成了平地,渐渐的也有了人烟,甚至还有些人在这山坡周围生活下来,而这神秘的圆环,又能带来什么精彩的故事呢？张小花很幸福,一脸的幸福表情。 His look burning hot is staring at present piece of Wasteland, as if this is together the fragrant streaky pork. 他的眼神热辣辣的盯着眼前的这一片荒地,仿佛这地就是一块香喷喷的五花肉。 Actually, is Wasteland, might as well said that is together the mountainous region, because of this place in a hillside halfway position, but, this gradient quite slow, can start out a probably four points of place. But is this place, is Zhang Xiaohua his father looks for Clan Head to rub the result that nearly two months obtained laboriously. Moreover Zhang Xiaohua also knows, Desolate Mountain in village are many, but can plant the land of crops, is actually few, therefore everybody wants to look to produce the grain ration beside original Land Protector again the place. 其实,与其说是荒地,还不如说是一块山地,因为这块地就是在一座山坡的半中腰的位置,只不过,这个坡度比较缓,能开出了大概四分的地而已。但就是这块地,也是张小花他爹辛辛苦苦找族长磨了近两个月才得到的结果。而且张小花也知道,村子里的荒山很多,但能种出庄稼的地,却是很少,所以大家都想在原有的土地之外再找能生产口粮的地方。 Other people in village mostly look to riverside near Wasteland, but their family/home is because has not had money to arrange Clan Head, put far the vision, looks place that others did not want, west east looked looks, had found such block Land Protector. 村里的其他人大都找离河边近的荒地,而他们家是因为没有没钱打点族长,才放远了眼光,找别人不要的地方,东找西找,就找到了这么块土地。 The village that Zhang Xiaohua lives, called Guo Village. Surrounding area also four miles, both sides go around a mountain probably, this mountain is not but actually high, is called as the hill to be quite appropriate. A river winds through from the outskirts, a river bank bridge, has connected the alley in neighboring village. In Guo Village was occupied by probably more than 40 family, 50% people are surnamed Guo, is a small family, lives in the middle of village, other people on live in all around of village scattered. The people in rural area are very simple, but also broker, Guo Village matter mostly by the Clan Head management of Guo Family, although lives in a village, but the surname is able to discriminate after all, Clan Head processing matter time, unavoidably can be partial to a side in clan. In the village the good house position, outside village the good cropland also mostly dominates in the hand of Guo villagers. However, after all is the fellow villagers, although the chicken feather minor matter is unceasing, the big dispute has not appeared in this small Guo Village, the Guo Village people thought that is living the unperturbed life of Arcadia. 张小花住的村子,叫郭庄。方圆大概也就四来里地,两面环山,这个山倒也不高,称作丘陵比较合适。一条大河从村头流过,河上一条小桥,连接了邻庄的小路。郭庄里面住了大概40多户的人家,有一半的人姓郭,是一个小小的家族,住在村子的中间,其他的人就零零散散住在村子的四周。农村的人很朴实,但也市侩,郭庄的事情大多由郭家的族长主持,虽说是住在一个村子,但毕竟姓氏有别,族长处理事情的时候,难免会偏向族内的一方。村内好住宅位置,村外好的庄稼地也大多都把持在郭姓村民的手中。不过,毕竟是乡里乡亲的,虽然鸡毛小事不断,大的纠纷却也从没在这个小小的郭庄出现过,郭庄的人都觉得是过着桃花源的恬然生活。 Zhang Xiaohua mother Guo Sufei is the Guo Village person, is in the Guo Family clan, „magnificent”, was to his mother generation, except for Guo Sufei, the family/home again did not have the adult male, moreover Zhang Xiaohua grandfather Guo Shan was also in old age female, the daughter raised this getting married time, when was the old couple year evening, to support the old person, Zhang Xiaohua his father, Zhang Cai, this married into the wife's household Guo Family. 张小花的娘郭素菲是郭庄人氏,算是郭家族内的偏支,也曾经“辉煌”过,可是到了他娘这代,除了郭素菲,家就再无男丁,而且张小花的外公郭山也是老来得女,将女儿养到该出嫁的时候,也是老两口年暮之时,为了赡养老人,张小花他爹,张才,这才入赘郭家。 The words said that the affluence of rural family circumstances, in the labor force with family/home is mostly related, but Guo Shan does not have the son, comes before the boy who giving birth to Guo Sufei has wanted to adopt the relative, has not actually realized because of all sorts of issues, in the family/home is supported by Guo Shan one person, family circumstances poor thus it may be known. But Zhang Cai also makes every effort to succeed but actually, after Guo Family, in farm crops is a skilled person, is increasing home labor is ultra father-in-law Guo Shan, the newly-married latter year, Guo Sufei is pregnant to give birth, was Guo Shan has added a grandchild, gave a name Zhang Xiaolong. The Guo Shan old couple saw the birth of grandchild, was very gratified. When entire family foresees the Future magnificent perspective, Guo Shan actually became ill because of overwork, fell ill...... 话说农村家境的富裕程度,多半跟家中的劳力有关,而郭山没有儿子,在生养郭素菲之前一直想过继亲戚的男孩过来,却因种种问题没有实现,家中就由郭山一人支撑,家境的贫寒由此可知。而张才倒也争气,到了郭家后,在农作方面是个好手,在增加家庭劳动力方面更是远超岳父郭山,新婚后一年,郭素菲即怀孕生子,为郭山添了个外孙,起名张小龙。郭山老两口看到外孙的出生,很是欣慰。正当全家展望未来美好的前景时,郭山却积劳成疾,一病不起...... The disease regarding the impoverished family, without doubt is the total destruction, Zhang Cai to treat an illness to the father-in-law, has sold off all valuable things, but, still cannot recall the Guo Shan wind to blow the remaining years of life life, when the Zhang Xiaolong two years old, pass suddenly, what making Guo Shan can die content, his Second grandchild or the granddaughter also soon being near world, for this reason, Guo Shan before the point of death gave the name to the child, male calling Zhang Xiaohu, female calling Zhang Xiaohua. After Guo Shan passed away, mother -in-law body of Zhang Cai also becomes worse and worse, was good the birth in Zhang Xiaohu, desalinated the sorrow of old person slightly, this has preserved family's light day. 疾病对于贫困的家庭,无疑是灭顶之灾,张才为了给岳父治病,变卖了所有值钱的东西,但是,依然不能挽回郭山风吹残烛般的生命,在张小龙两岁多的时候,溘然而逝,令郭山能瞑目的是,他的第二个外孙或外孙女也快要临世了,为此,郭山于临死前给孩子起了名字,男的叫张小虎,女的叫张小花。郭山过世后,张才的岳母身体也是每况愈下,好在张小虎的出生,稍稍淡化了老人家的悲哀,这才保住了全家的平淡日子。 The under life of School of Agriculture person, not cares works, goes home to eat meal. The lifeblood on Land Protector, the old Guo Family person was not prosperous before, Land Protector completely can follow the use, along with Zhang Xiaolong, growing up of Zhang Xiaohu, Zhang Cai to cultivate Land Protector worries, most starts, he with wife Guo Sufei, is drawing Zhang Xiaolong, holds Zhang Xiaohu to kowtow to pay respects to Clan Head, perhaps looks at the Guo Shan face, gave the scrap of riverside to till the fields, has solved Zhang Shan „urgent matter”. 农家人的生活,无在乎下地干活,回家吃饭。命根子就土地,以前老郭家人丁不旺,土地尽跟得上使用,随着张小龙,张小虎的长大,张才就一直为耕种土地发愁,最开始的时候,他跟老婆郭素菲,拉着张小龙,抱着张小虎到族长家磕头请安,许是看着郭山的面子,给了河边的一小块耕田,算是解了张山的“燃眉之急”。 The birth of Zhang Xiaohua was when his Big Brother seven years old, that was in the family/home had two -and-a-half labor forces, the family impoverished situation has been alleviated slightly. Speaking of the birth of Zhang Xiaohua, quite a little mysterious color, originally arid two months of weather, that night that Xiaohua was born, suddenly had the rainstorm, in the mountain the rainfall sharp increase, the creek outside village had overflowed the bridge, the scene was really scary. But Guo Sufei also when lives Xiaohua, saw everywhere fly unexpectedly. Therefore, Zhang Cai regarding the anticipation of Xiaohua, is very it may be said that high. Even in giving a name, but also invited the teaching Mister reference of neighboring village, had many like Zhang Zhen, Zhang Yu, Jacky Cheung and other names, but picked over, but spent the eye, does not know that which was good. Finally, has thought the everywhere flower rain, has thought the father of leaving the world, Guo Sufei resisted opposition to Zhang Xiaohua gave such name of enjoying great popularity, although, Zhang Xiaohua was a standard boy. 张小花的出生是在他大哥七岁的时候,那是家中已经有两个半的劳动力了,家庭贫困的情况稍稍得到缓解。说到张小花的出生,也颇有点神奇色彩,本来干旱了两个多月的天气,在小花出世的那天晚上,突然下起了暴雨,山中雨量剧增,村外的小河都没过了小桥,情景甚是吓人。而郭素菲也在生小花的时候,竟然看到了漫天的飞花。所以,张才对于小花的期待,可谓很高。甚至在起名的时候,还请邻村的教书先生参考,起了诸多如张震,张宇,张学友等名字,可是挑来挑去,可就花了眼,不知道哪个好了。最后,想到了漫天的花雨,想到了离世的父亲,郭素菲力排众议给张小花起了这么个脍炙人口的名字,虽然,张小花是个标准的男孩子。 This time Xiaohua 12 years old, the School of Agriculture child is always precocious, several years ago, Xiaohua already bustled about Tanaka's business with the fathers and two Elder Brother. Zhang Cai also has to think makes children go to the school to study to be literate, long Great Expert is literate, seeks an academic honor, but Guo Village is small village, in the clan does not have what scholar, is incapable of supporting a small school, the school in neighboring village is another big family, collects fees regarding the children in Guo Village also high, Xiaolong│Little Dragon and Xiaohu do not think, at that time in family/home poor, Zhang Cai is also has a mind to be incapable. Xiaohua small time also has sent to the several th, but according to the view of teaching Mister, Xiaohua latent talent in school medium, tries is also the level of being literate, to show off in writing to seek the academic honor, should be in the water the moon/month. Zhang Cai has thought over the belt-bag, has a look at the Xiaohua heavy features again, gave up yellow Liang -like expectation, leading the child to return to Guo Village, the principal work of secure guard farmer. The Xiaohua mother as if still remembers actually the Xiaohua birth the good omen, asked the young person who in the village was literate to teach some Xiaohua study things once for a while. Although Xiaohua likes following behind Elder Brother to manage the farm work, but forcing of mother also made him study many characters but actually, can read something, was being literate person in family/home, as long as was also managed by Zhang Xiaohua with the character related matter. 这时的小花已经12岁了,农家的孩子总是早熟,早在几年前,小花就已经跟着爹和两个哥哥忙乎田中的事务了。张才也不是没想过让孩子们去学堂读书认字,长大能识文断字,谋求个功名,但郭村是个小村子,族中也没有什么读书人,无力支持一个小小的学堂,邻村的学堂是属于另一个大的家族,对于郭村的孩子收费也高,小龙和小虎是不要想了,当时家里贫苦,张才也是有心无力。小花小的时候也送去过几日,但据教书先生的说法,小花的资质在学堂中是中等的,尽全力也就是个识文断字的水平,要想舞文弄墨谋取功名,应该是水中月的。张才掂量了一下腰包,再看看小花的浓眉大眼,也就放弃了黄粱般的期望,带孩子回了郭庄,安守农人的主业。倒是小花的娘似乎还记得小花出生的吉兆,时不时请村子中识字的年轻人教小花学一些东西。虽然小花喜欢跟在哥哥后面操持农活,但娘亲的逼迫倒也让他学了不少的字,能读一些东西,算是家中的识字人,但凡跟字有关的事情也都由张小花操持。 Today is the First day that Zhang Xiaohua tills the fields independently, his father told him yesterday, this place gives him, is his rice bowl. Although Present is any sign cannot indicate that is tilling the fields Land Protector, but Xiaohua remembers that scholar in village has said that had the goal to start, had start, was successful half! Had the success, that leaves your hope not to be far, but, the hope of Xiaohua, is satisfactory eating together streaky pork ~ 今天是张小花独立耕田的第一天,他爹昨天已经跟他说了,这块地就是给他的,是属于他的一个饭碗了。虽然现在还是一块没有任何迹象可以表明是耕田的土地,可是小花记得村里的一个书生说过的,有了目标就可以开始,有了开始,就是成功的一半！有了成功,那离你的希望就不远了,而,小花的希望,就是美美的吃一块五花肉~ The day of November is the start of winter, Sun throws in the head is scattering the dreary light and heat, the mountain breeze has blown from the slopes, bringing the treetop hum to make noise. All are making clear to speechless cold and dreary. 十一月的天已经是冬日的开始了,太阳在头上投撒着惨淡的光和热,山风从坡间刮过,带起的树梢呜呜作响。一切的一切都昭示着无言的凄冷。 However, Zhang Xiaohua may not have the time to pay attention to these. He is taking the hoe, only constantly on this four points of ground, opening up wasteland diligently. According to the plan of Zhang Xiaohua, first in all around of hillside central place digs border(s) of an oval-shape or quadrangle, then move the rock in this place, cleans up the tiny stone, then, processes the weed, when gradually becomes the scale, then the careful and intensive cultivation, on the side of entire field careful plowing, to plant the seed hits the foundation. The farm work always consumes Time, when Xiaohua cleans up all around, when prepares this in big stone move, day already high noon. Xiaohua stopped the cultivation, has wiped the sweat of forehead, arrives at the place, took mother to preparation water of earthenware jar, thump fills the water of second half pot, the long depth stretched, beats the waist that had not unbent, feels comfortable. Also is, although before worked with fathers and Elder Brother, may because after all was smallest, everybody did not make him dry, oneself have not felt is too tired, a Present shoulder has selected, knows difficult. However, thinks the grandmother, thinks mother, own family/home, own Future, in the heart felt that also is worth. 不过,张小花可没有功夫去注意这些。他拿着锄头,只一味的在这个四分地上,努力的开垦。按照张小花的计划,先是在山坡中央的这块地的四周挖起一个椭圆形的或四边形的边界,再将这块地里的山石挪走,清理一下细小的石块,然后,处理一下杂草,等渐成规模时,再精耕细作,将整个田细细的耕一边,为种种子打好基础。农活总是耗费时间啊,当小花清理完四周,准备将这地里的大的石头挪走时,天已经正午了。小花停下了耕作,擦了擦额头的汗水,走到地头,拿了娘亲给准备的一瓦罐的水,咕咕咚咚的灌下半罐的水,长长的深了个懒腰,捶了捶一直没有伸直的腰,感觉一阵的舒服。也是,以前虽然跟着爹爹和哥哥们干活,可毕竟因为是最小的,大家都不让他多干,自己也没感觉太累,现在自己一肩挑了,才知道其中的艰辛啊。不过,想想外婆,想想娘亲,还有自己的家,自己的未来,心中感觉也是很值得的。 Zhang Xiaohua is literate with young scholar, although is not earnest, often listened to them saying that some mysterious Future, life, love, and so on spring language, poured also some impressions, usually worked, all right, accidentally can also think own life, but quick will be wrecked by the reality, lowered the head facing Land Protector. This little while remembers these, it is estimated that is also the daydream, busy loafing. 张小花跟着年轻的书生认字,虽然不认真,也经常听他们说些很玄乎的未来啦,生活啦,爱情啦,之类的阳春语言,倒也有些印象,平日干活,没事的时候,偶然也会想着自己的生活,但很快就会被现实所击毁,低头面对土地了。这会儿想起这些,估计也是白日梦,忙中的偷闲了。 While Zhang Xiaohua lets the imagination run wild, belly rumble sounding continuously, it seems like should eat meal. Before ate meal goes home to eat with mother, this little while was the stand-alone gateway, Kaiden has farmed, in the morning when came out, mother said that at noon delivering to the place, had a look at the double-hour, should come. 正当张小花胡思乱想的时候,肚子咕噜噜的一直鸣叫,看来该吃饭了。以前吃饭都是跟娘亲回家吃,这会儿是独立门户,开田种地了,早上出来时,娘亲就说中午给送到地头的,看看时辰,也该来了。 Sure enough, has the sound to transmit „Xiaohua from the slope ~ helps mother.”, On has a section of steep sloping road from the slope, is very slippery, previous place time, Zhang Cai fell a tumble. Zhang Xiaohua hurried sound „mother, a while, I got down immediately, do not come up first.” When Zhang Xiaohua goes down the hillside, sees mother, is carrying a bamboo basket, is standing in the roadside he. Zhang Xiaohua received the bamboo basket, careful holds mother to step onto the hillside, making mother sit in the stone of place, this lifts the arrange/cloth on basket, inside is one bowl of streaky porks, several rough surface steamed buns. Whether the Xiaohua sensible asking mother has eaten, mother's reply has not stemmed from his anticipation, has eaten. Looks the appearance that Xiaohua wolfs down, Guo Sufei a little loves dearly, said to Xiaohua 果不其然,有声音从坡下传来“小花~来帮娘一把。”,从坡下上有一段较陡的坡路,很是湿滑,上次来看地的时候,张才就摔了一跤。张小花赶紧回了声“娘,等会儿,我马上下去,你自己先别上来。”当张小花走下山坡的时候,就看到娘亲,拎着一个竹篮,正站在路边等他呢。张小花接过竹篮,小心的扶着娘亲走上山坡,让娘亲坐在地头的石头上,这才掀开篮子上的布,里面是一碗的五花肉,还有几块的糙面馒头。小花懂事的问娘亲是否吃过,娘亲的回答也没出乎他的意料,已经吃过了。看着小花狼吞虎咽的样子,郭素菲有点心疼,对小花说 „Slow point eats, be not choking, drinks a water quickly.” “慢点吃,别噎着,快喝点水。” „Did mother, how make streaky pork suddenly?” „ Xiaohua asked. “娘,怎么突然做五花肉了呢？”“小花问。 „Today is your Ten Heavenly Stems lives, your father had confessed yesterday, makes the streaky pork to reward with food and drink to you.” Xiaohua mother affection looks own this youngest son said. „ Also pressed you, Xiaohua, this year you are only 12 years old, looked at others neighboring village with you such big child, but also studied in the school, your person worked in the field. „ “今天是你自己头天干活,你爹昨天就交代了,给你做五花肉犒劳啊。”小花娘慈爱的看着自己这个最小的儿子说。“也难为你了,小花,今年你才12岁,看人家邻村跟你这么大的孩子,还都在学堂念书呢,你就一人在田里干活了。“ „Mother, looked at you saying that my Big Brother ten years old separatedly did not work with the father, my this was anything. This is my, my Second Brother also with Big Brother place. I happily without enough time.” Xiaohua looked that mother starts to talk incessantly, felt that then said „grandmother, did she eat the streaky pork?” “娘,看你说的,我大哥不也十岁就跟爹分开干活了吗,我这算啥啊。况且这地是我的,我二哥还跟大哥一块地呢。我高兴都来不及呢。”小花看娘亲开始唠叨,感觉接着说“外婆呢,她吃五花肉了吗？” „Your grandmother 80-year-old person, how can eat this, I to the millet gruel that she cooks.” Xiaohua his mother said, „eats Present to remember your grandmother, owed your grandmother also to keep thinking about you throughout the morning” “你外婆80多岁的人了,怎么能吃这个啊,我给她熬的小米粥。”小花他娘说,“吃到现在才想起你外婆,亏了你外婆整个上午还惦记着你呢” Xiaohua embarrassed flexure scratching the head, as if really has not thought that many. 小花不好意思的挠了挠头,似乎还真的没想那么多啊。 Speaking of the Xiaohua grandmother, the Guo Sufei wear a look of cloud of gloom. Family's day along with growing up of several children, gradual change for the better, however Xiaohua the body of grandmother's was more and more bad, although said that over 80 years old regarding the people in rural area, is the unusual longevity, who does not hope that own elder accompanied a section of road. Recently the Xiaohua grandmother was eye looks to disappear, Guo Sufei with Zhang Cai discussed that wants to make the doctor have a look, but the Xiaohua grandmother actually did not agree, said was so old, the eye could not see to be normal, does not want to spend again for this reason. The couple cannot suffer the old person, agreed. Now old person in the family/home works hard every day, feels black feeding a chicken, feeds a pig and so on competent living. 说到小花的外婆,郭素菲面带愁云。家里的日子随着几个孩子的长大,逐渐的好转,但是小花的外婆的身体是越来越糟了,虽然说80多岁对于农村的人来讲,已经是少有的高寿了,但是谁不希望自己的长辈多陪自己一段路啊。最近小花的外婆更是眼睛看不见了,郭素菲跟张才商量想让大夫看看,可是小花的外婆却死活不同意,说年纪如此的大了,眼睛看不见是正常的,不想再为此花钱。两口子捱不过老人家,也就同意了。如今老人每天都家里操劳,摸着黑给喂个鸡,喂个猪之类的能干的活。 Looks at Xiaohua to finish eating the food, has drunk water, Guo Sufei said „Xiaohua, in the afternoon little does, goes home earlier, the grandmother thinks you. I must give your father and elder brother deliver the food”, Xiaohua was then shocked, „mother, that streaky pork had been eaten to eat all one's food by me, what do the father and elder brother eat?” „Does not have relation(s), other dish. Remembers little does in the afternoon, do not catch cold” the Guo Sufei affection touches the head of Xiaohua, looks youngest son of blushing worries, as if he is the tinies who act like a spoiled brat before your knees. 看着小花吃完饭,喝过水,郭素菲说“小花,下午少干点,早点回家,外婆想你呢。我还要去给你爹和哥送饭呢”,小花这下愣住了,“娘,那,那个五花肉被我吃光了,爹和哥吃什么？”“没关系,还有别的菜呢。记住下午少干点,不要着凉啊”郭素菲慈爱的抚摸小花的头,看着着急的脸红的小儿子,仿佛他还是自己膝前撒娇的小不点儿。 When Zhang Xiaohua held mother to get down the sloping road, looks back that mother went far away, in the heart was very guilty, oh, how I gave to eat to eat all one's food the streaky pork. 当张小花扶着娘亲下了坡路,看着娘亲远去的背影,心中很是愧疚,唉,我怎么把五花肉都给吃光了啊。
