Third chapter 第三章 Bracelet() 手镯() At this time is the noontime crossed, solar high hanging in Heavens Above. But because the well has sumped, the bottom of the well cannot see the thing, all depending on bringing to illuminate to a mine shaft oil lamp. On the face of Zhang Xiaohua in the light of dragging cannot see to have any resolution, he has thought deeply about the moment, he holds up the hoe to dig to a direction, „works as, when......” sound is unceasing, has traded several directions, so, this, may not know what to do similarly. It seems like was really the end of hills and rivers. 这时已经是午时已过,太阳高高的挂在天上。但由于井已经挖深了,井底并不能看到东西,全凭带到井下的一盏油灯照亮。张小花的脸上在摇曳的灯光中看不出有什么决断,他思索了片刻,他举起锄头向一个方向挖去,“当,当……”响声不断,又换了几个方向,也同样如此,这,可如何是好啊。看来真的是山穷水尽了啊。 Zhang Xiaohua a little wants to give up, comes up first, when the little while had expanded the well head, then has a look. However mother has not delivered the food to come, do oneself or dig from below first? Thinks, Zhang Xiaohua has not stopped, then from the front, the waist-high place, looked for a direction to dig. Is digging time, suddenly hears one sound „dang” the 's sound sound, Xiaohua at heart one startled, is the stone? But is a hoe, did not have the sound on the contrary. In Zhang Xiaohua heart surprise, but has not thought, perhaps is a pebble, so long as is not the big stone is good. Proceeded to dig probably one far scene, downward has dug, heart Middle Stage that Zhang Xiaohua attempted treated do not hear the repugnant 's sound sound, finally he too big comfort, the step below of this direction has not been that stone. 张小花有点想放弃了,还是先上去吧,等过会儿把井口扩大了,再看看。不过娘亲还没有送饭过来,自己要不先从下面挖一下？想着想着,张小花也就没有停下来,接着从面前,齐腰深的地方,找了个方向就挖了过去。挖着的时候,突然又听到一声“咣当”的声音,小花不禁心里一惊,又是石头？可是接着又是一锄头,反倒没了声响。张小花心中诧异,不过也没多想,没准是个小石子,只要不是大石头就好。往前挖了大概一步远的光景,张小花又尝试的往下挖,心中期待着不要听到讨厌的声音,结果并没有他太大的安慰,这个方向的一步的下面也是那块石头。 When Zhang Xiaohua prepares to rest, trades the direction again time, the Zhang Xiaolong 's sound sound transmits from above, „Xiaohua, is about to eat meal, mother delivered the food to come.” Zhang Xiaohua had been drawn from the mine shaft by the Big Brother, looks at the Zhang Xiaohua complexion, Zhang Xiaolong does not have to ask again, but brought the food to him, looks finishing eating that he wolfs down. Then comforted saying: „Does not have relation(s), Xiaohua, this place is not good, we change other place again, the hillside is so big, definitely has the place to be able Digging a well.” 正待张小花准备休息一下,再换方向的时候,张小龙的声音从上面传来,“小花,快上来吃饭吧,娘亲送饭过来了。”张小花被大哥从井下拉了上来,看着张小花的脸色,张小龙也没有再多问,只是给他拿来了饭食,看他狼吞虎咽的吃完。然后安慰说:“没关系,小花,这地方不行,我们再换别的地方吗,山坡这么大,肯定有地方可以打井的。” Finished eating Zhang Xiaohua complexion obvious being much better of food, as if no longer gloomy, looks that the Digging a well person went toward the mine shaft, with a smile said to Zhang Xiaolong: „I knew, Big Brother, I come up to have a look, a while comes again.” The Zhang Xiaolong racket the shoulder of Zhang Xiaohua, has not said anything, took the spatial bamboo basket to get out of the way. 吃完饭的张小花脸色明显的好多了,似乎不再阴郁,看着打井的人往井下去了,就笑着对张小龙说:“我知道了,大哥,我上去地里看看,一会儿再过来。”张小龙拍拍张小花的肩膀,没说什么,拿着空的竹篮走开了。 Zhang Xiaohua carries own hoe to step onto hillside, arrives at oneself that decent paddies, places one side the hoe, oneself sit in the place, very Wu Nai│helpless looks at this unable to water the place that after thinking is being, wants to carry water from the river. When his eye falls when hoe, discovered that the above of hoe brings to kowtow together, it is estimated that was a moment ago in the mine shaft excavated earth brought. Zhang Xiaohua used the foot to rub rubbing on the hoe, the result has not rubbed. He brings the hoe, kowtowing has cleaned up with hand, discovered that on the hoe wraps this round thing unexpectedly, but also card tight of , Zhang Xiaohua tilts the head thinks, it is estimated that a moment ago when the mine shaft excavated earth, that „dang” was the hoe digs to this Ring sound. No wonder again does not have the sound, originally was the bedding bag on the hoe. Zhang Xiaohua wants to make from the hoe this Ring, looked for the branch skid, looked for the stone to knock gently, cannot collect the effect. If makes an effort to knock to could on stone leng make it, but difficult insurance not to give to pulverize it. Cannot bring this thing to go into a well to excavate earth, Zhang Xiaohua was a little at a loss. Finally, Zhang Xiaohua is cruel-hearted, holds up the hoe to knock on stone leng with 50% strengths, listens to „dang” one sound, Ring not broken, not from hoe. Also was Zhang Xiaohua has caused fully, has knocked several, made finally, that bewildered Ring unexpectedly not broken, it seems like it was very solid. 张小花扛着自己的锄头走上山坡,来到自己那块有模有样的田地边,把锄头放在一边,自己坐在地头,很无奈的望着这块无法浇水的地,想着是不是以后要自己从河那边挑水过来。当他的眼睛落在锄头上时,发现锄头的上面带着一块泥头,估计是刚才在井下挖土时带上来的。张小花就用脚在锄头上蹭了蹭,结果没蹭掉。他把锄头拿过来,用手把泥头清理了一下,发现锄头上居然套这个圆圆的东西,还卡的挺紧,张小花歪头想了想,估计刚才在井下挖土的时候,那声“咣当”就是锄头挖到这个圆环的动静了。怪不得再没声音,原来是被套在了锄头上。张小花想把这个圆环从锄头上弄下来,找了树枝撬,找了石头轻轻敲,都不能凑效。如果使劲在石头塄上磕一下也许能把它弄下来,不过也难保不会把它给弄碎了。总不能带着这东西下井挖土吧,张小花又有点束手无策了。最后,张小花狠下心,用一半的力气举起锄头在石头的塄上一磕,就听“咣当”一声,圆环没碎,也没从锄头上下来。也是张小花就使了全力,磕了好几下,总算是弄下来了,那个莫名其妙的圆环居然也没有碎,看来是很结实的。 Zhang Xiaohua takes up that Ring, scours its above soil with the clothes, this sees clearly, should be Bracelet, two fingers extend, pitch-black pitch-black, does not have the pattern, flat, does not know that is any material makes. Zhang Xiaohua when carefully looked, hears under the slope the Zhang Xiaolong joyful 's sound sound to transmit \; „Xiaohua, quick came, to have the expectation quickly.” Zhang Xiaohua listened, jumped happily, cannot attend to looked Bracelet that again this picks, holds conveniently when the bosom, picks up the hoe to slide the hillside, muddy does not note to take Bracelet a moment ago the light feeling. 张小花拿起那个圆环,用衣服把它上面的泥土擦净,这才看清楚,应该是个手镯,有二指来宽,乌黑乌黑的,没有花纹,扁扁的,不知道是什么材料做成的。张小花正待仔细看,就听到坡下张小龙喜悦的声音传来\;“小花,快来快来,有盼头了。”张小花听了,高兴的蹦了起来,顾不得再看这个捡来的手镯,顺手揣在怀里,捡起锄头溜下山坡,浑没有注意到刚才拿着手镯时轻飘飘的感觉。 When Zhang Xiaohua runs up to the base of slope, what sees is Zhang Xiaolong and smiling face on Zhang Xiaohu face, is Zhang Cai slightly has the bitter and astringent face. Listened to a Zhang Xiaolong saying, this knows, the bottom of the well was not the One│First Layer stone . Moreover the stone was not too big, so long as expanded the well head, can make the stone, but the length of this expanding at least was three steps. The well head was big, quantity of excavating earth was big, Time naturally must be long, gives others money also to. However, is good because of does not need to choose the place, opens the well, does not need to carry water to irrigate fields, has a good result. Sees three child's happy appearances, only then a Zhang Cai person was worried in the heart secretly, hopes, do not present such stone again, has again such several times, this well estimated that did not need to dig again. 当张小花跑到坡底时,看到的是张小龙和张小虎脸上的笑容,还有就是张才略有苦涩的脸。听张小龙一说,这才知道,井底并不是一层石头,而且石头也不是太大,只要扩大井口,就能把石头弄出来,不过这个扩的长度至少是三步。井口大了,挖土的量就大了,时间当然要长,给人家的钱也要多了。不过,好在不用重新选地方,重新开井,不用挑水来浇地,也算是有个好的结果。看到三个孩子高兴的样子,只有张才一个人在心中暗自担心,希望以后不要再出现这样的石头了,再有这么几次,这个井估计就不用再挖了。 Afternoon work but actually also simple, the person of digging a well acts according to the stone the size, has measured the well head, how plans to expand, excavates earth. Passed through such small mighty waves, everybody methodically have done. 下午的活儿倒也简单,挖井的人根据石头的大小,重新丈量了井口,规划着怎么扩大,重新挖土。经过了这么个小波澜,大伙又有条不紊的干了起来。 In the evening went home, finished eating the food, before on the bed sleeps, Zhang Xiaohua has not thought of the Bracelet in bosom. When takes off the clothes, fell, this thinks, but, tired a day, was really too trapped/sleepy, he has not thought, on Serbia under the pillow, heavy has gone off conveniently. 晚上回到家中,吃完饭,上炕睡觉前,张小花也都没有想到怀中的这个手镯。只是在脱衣服的时候,掉了出来,这才想起来,不过,累了一天,实在是太困了,他也没有多想,随手就塞在了枕头下面,沉沉睡去。 This night, Zhang Family all were the same with before, the oil lamp early has gone out, the wind blew the fence gate to sway. The subtilis in yellow clay wall was also blown, weak wielding. Only the Heavens Above moonlight according to below, sprinkles by the window on the worn-out table, on the bedding, everyone fell asleep, in static night, only then snoring sound continuously. 这个夜里,张家的一切还跟以前一样,油灯早早的熄灭了,风吹着篱笆门摇晃不已。黄泥墙上的枯草也被吹了起来,无力的挥动。只有天上月光照下,透过窗口洒在破旧的桌子上,被褥上,每个人都进入了梦乡,静静的夜中,只有此起彼伏的鼾声。 Has only differently, is Zhang Xiaohua, no, should be the Zhang Xiaohua dream! His dream no longer is the beforehand streaky pork, but flashing everywhere! It looks like a breath, the alternating tension with relaxation brilliance, dodges moves. 唯一有不同的,就是张小花,不,应该是张小花的梦！他的梦不再是以前的五花肉,而是满目的闪动！就像是一种呼吸似地,一张一弛的光辉,一闪一动。 Next morning, when First wisp of sunlight of initial rise Sun according to the Zhang Xiaohua face on, Zhang Xiaohua has opened pair of eyes. Around look of doubts, had not discovered that Flickering lights thing, this knows that all Flickering lights have a dream. Shaking the head of self-ridicules, the preparation continues to sleep. However, at this time he discovered, is listening to two Elder Brother snoring sounds, he as if could not fall asleep, oneself are spiritual hundred times, unavoidablily, got out of bed to put on clothes. 翌日清晨,当初升太阳的第一缕阳光照着张小花脸上时,张小花睁开了双眼。疑惑的看看四周,并没有发现闪烁的事物,这才知道所有的闪烁都是做梦。自嘲的摇了摇头,准备继续睡觉。不过,这时他才发现,听着两个哥哥的呼噜声,他似乎是睡不着了,自己是精神百倍,不得已,起床穿衣了。 Zhang Xiaohua arrives at the courtyard time, saw that mother is preparing food on the top in institute, therefore goes to the water well of corner to fetch water to prepare to wash the face. Guo Sufei sees Zhang Xiaohua to come out, is very strange, said: „Does Xiaohua, how get up is so early? Yesterday tired a day, today rests the little while, worked must.” 张小花走到院子的时候,看到娘亲正在院中的灶台上做饭,于是就去墙角的水井边打水准备洗脸。郭素菲看到张小花出来,很是奇怪,说:“小花,怎么起这么早？昨天累了一天,今天多睡会儿吧,干活还得过一阵呢。” Zhang Xiaohua fetched water while said: „Does not rest, mother, I am not stranded . Moreover, you looked, I rested, Present was powerful, a hoe got down to be able that stone digging to break to pieces.” Saying, he puts down the washbasin, but also has made the movement of hoeing. 张小花一边打水一边说:“不睡了,娘,我不困了,而且,你看,我都歇过来了,现在是力量十足,一锄头下去就能把那块石头给刨碎了。”说着,他把水盆放下,还做了个锄地的动作。 Guo Sufei said: „, Xiaohua was well clever, has grown up, with your father same was family's backbone.” 郭素菲笑着说:“好好,小花乖,长大了,跟你爹一样是家里的顶梁柱了。” Zhang Xiaohua blushes saying: „Mother, I so was big, do not call me to be clever, is coarse.” 张小花红着脸说:“娘,我都这么大了,不要叫我乖了,多难听啊。” During the speeches, Zhang Cai comes back from outside, in the hand is taking the green vegetables, asked: „Who grew up? Does Xiaohua get up such early? No longer rests the little while.”, Then gives the Zhang Xiaohua mother the green vegetables in hand, said: „The grass in vegetable garden was somewhat long, having Time must pull out, for these days the matter of busy well, do not give the type to be wild my dish only.” 说话间,张才从外面回来,手里拿着把青菜,问:“谁长大了啊？小花怎么起得这么早？不再睡会儿啊。”,然后把手中的青菜递给张小花的娘亲,说:“菜园里的草有些长出来了,有时间得拔一下了,这几天净忙井的事情了,可别把咱家的菜给种荒了。” Guo Sufei received the green vegetables saying: „This did not say your son, today first time gets up such early, later works is also a skilled person.” 郭素菲接过青菜说:“这不说你儿子吗,今天头次起得这么早,以后干活也是一把好手啊。” Guo Sufei then made family's food, Zhang Cai also enters the room. Zhang Xiaohua washed the face, the safe may do, went out of the courtyard. 郭素菲接着做全家的饭,张才也进屋了。张小花洗完脸,无事可做,就走出了院子。 Although Time still too early, was the quick beginning of winter, but the farmer could not idle, in the village had many people to take a walk. Some people catch up with the duck goose to go to the riverside, some people got in some grass to feed the chicken and pig from the riverside, but also some people have shouldered the hoe, under preparation. Zhang Xiaohua walks on the track in village, felt that today and past was different, cannot say that had any difference, was felt feeling that the own spirit abundant appearance, strengths could not use up, or was whole body each is to contain the strength. However he does not think, but thinks good that yesterday slept. When Zhang Xiaohua turns back to the family/home, everybody started to eat. He also finishing eating hurriedly, then dug a well with the father and Elder Brother together. 虽然时间尚早,也是快入冬了,可庄稼人是闲不住的,村子里已经有很多人在走动了。有些人赶着鸭鹅去河边,有些人从河边打了些草来喂鸡和猪,还有些人已经扛了锄头,准备下地了。张小花走在村子的小道上,感觉今天与以往不同,也说不上来有什么不同,就是感觉自己精神充沛的样子,有一种力气用不完的感觉,或者说是全身每一处都是包含力量。不过他也不会多想,只是以为昨天睡的好觉罢了。当张小花走回到家中的时候,大家已经开始用饭了。他也急匆匆的吃完,跟着爹和哥哥一起接着去挖井了。 Afterward several day but actually also calm and steady, Inoomo expanded, the stone had also been dug from the bottom of the well by them, the well also more hit is deeper. That digging out time, looks very smoothly, moreover touches icy coldly, was called two Elder Brother to get so far as under the tree of field by Zhang Xiaohua it, preparation summer time, when the bed of working gap rest uses. But that Bracelet, by Zhang Xiaohua after the brain, had been placed still under the bedding of pillow, forgets is clean, but was his dream early is replaced the streaky pork by Flickering lights, but was he had not realized. 随后的几日倒也安稳,井面扩大了,石头也被他们从井底刨了上来,井也是越打越深了。那块挖出的时候,看着挺平整,而且摸起来冰凉的,被张小花叫着两个哥哥把它弄到了田头的树下,准备夏日的时候,当干活间隙休息的床榻用。而那个手镯呢,也被张小花仍在了脑后,放在枕头的铺盖下,忘得是一干二净,只不过是他的梦早已经被闪烁代替了五花肉,只不过是他并没有意识到。 Also was on the several th, in the well did not have the water leakage as before, this time Zhang Cai a little worried. Wanted shortly beginning of winter, soil layer must freeze, although the bottom of the well will not ice up, but worked, is not such was smooth. That night, the whole family finished eating the food, gathered together made the farm work, Zhang Cai frowns with Guo Sufei discussed that in several courtyard bottom water leakage, it is estimated that do not stop, waited beginning of the spring to say. At this time, Guo Sufei said: 又是几日,井中依旧没有出水,这时的张才就有点发愁了。眼看着就要入冬了,土层就要上冻,虽然井底不会结冰,但干起活来,已经不是那样的顺畅了。这天晚上,一家人吃完饭,已经聚在一起做农活,张才皱着眉头跟郭素菲商量在过几天井底不出水,估计就要停下来了,等开春在说了。这时,郭素菲说: „Kid's dad, you knows that Mister Wu in neighboring village has also made a place in the south hillside?” “孩子他爹,你知道邻村的吴先生家在南边的山坡也弄了块地吧？” Zhang Cai said: „I do not know that but, I heard actually the south rim is also digging a well.” 张才说:“我不知道啊,不过,我倒是听说南坡也在挖井。” Guo Sufei said: „Is that well, is Mister Wu hits, just like us, is used for the pouring field. Today I go to the riverside to pull up weeds to feed chicken, has bumped into Guo Quan jia of village, her husband's younger sister did not marry the Mister Wu brothers, you guess that what she did say to me?” 郭素菲说:“就是那口井,是吴先生家打的,跟咱们一样,也是用来浇田的。今天我去河边拔草喂鸡,碰到了村口的郭泉家的,她的小姑子不是嫁给吴先生的兄弟了吗,你猜她跟我说什么？” „What said? Was the well already the water leakage?” Asking of Zhang Cai surprise. „They not compared with the evening that we do open? Such quickly on water leakage?” “说什么？难道是井已经出水了？”张才诧异的问。“他们不是比我们开的晚吗？这么快就出水了啊？” „You are thinking quick water leakage, compared with a water leakage stranger matter!” Guo Sufei said ill-humoredly. “你就想着快出水,比出水更邪乎的事情！”郭素菲没好气的说。 „Well, what is that?” Not only Zhang Cai was attracted, the Zhang Family three brothers' curiosity were also cancelled. “咦,那是什么？”不仅张才被吸引了,张家三兄弟的好奇心也被勾了起来。 „Their Digging a well, has dug out a small broken box!” Guo Sufei then said, „box digs from the well, by the hoe is broken, has revealed inside thing, although there is a soil to cover, but can also see clearly inside pearl agate! You said how we do not have such good Luck, compared with also early, has made the bed big broken stone that they hit.” “他们打井,挖出了一个小破箱子！”郭素菲接着说,“箱子从井里挖出来的时候,被锄头打破了,露出了里面的东西,虽然有泥土盖着,但也能看清里面的珍珠玛瑙！你说,我们怎么就没这么好的运气,比他们打的还早呢,就打出了床大的破石头。” When the whole family is a Mister Wu good luck in making money sobbed, Zhang Xiaohua recalls to mind itself also the thing that dug out from the well. He said excitedly, „father, mother, I also dug out the treasure from the well.” In family member's urging and earnest vision, he puts out that had forgotten Bracelet from the bedding. 就在一家人为吴先生一家的财运唏嘘时,张小花才记起自己也从井中挖出的东西。他兴奋的说,“爹,娘,我也从井里挖出宝贝了。”在家人的催促和热切的目光中,他从被褥下拿出了那个被遗忘了的手镯。 Zhang Cai receives, attains under the oil lamp careful watching, sees this is pitch-black, flat, does not know the thing that any material makes, called Bracelet with it, might as well call the appropriateness that the iron hoop came. He could not see that the reason why has given Guo Sufei, Guo Sufei received, first has thought over, has stroked gently one with the finger above, said: „Is so light, is not the jade does likely, does not have what pattern, it is estimated that is not the jewelry. The gadget of which child family/home likely is, Xiaohua, you take are playing.” Zhang Xiaohua does not have receiving of mood, gives two Elder Brother to look, as if has not dug out the pearl agate is his wrong as. 张才接过来,拿到油灯下仔细的观看,就见这是一个乌黑的,扁扁的,不知什么材料做的东西,与其叫手镯,不如叫铁环来的恰当。他也看不出所以然就递给了郭素菲,郭素菲接过,先掂量了一下,用手指在上面摩挲了一阵,说:“这么轻,不像是玉石做的,也没有什么花纹,估计不是什么首饰。像是哪个孩子家的玩意儿,小花,你拿着玩吧。”张小花没心情的接过来,递给两个哥哥看,仿佛没有挖出珍珠玛瑙就是他的错似的。 Bracelet has relayed in the hands of two Elder Brother, has given Zhang Xiaohua, it seems like that this clown ugly gadget everybody is not interested, Xiaohua has also to hold in the bosom. 手镯在两个哥哥的手中转了一圈,又递给了张小花,看来这个丑丑的玩意儿大家都不怎么感兴趣的,小花只好又揣在了怀里。 Guo Sufei also then said: „Oh, if is really a good jewelry, pours to consider that remaining, waits beginning of the spring to give your Big Brother acts as a matchmaker, treats as the gift from bridegroom's family to bride's family.” 郭素菲又接着说:“唉,如果真是一个好的首饰,倒可以考虑给留下来,等开春给你大哥说媒的时候,当做聘礼。” Right now, may light the mood of whole family. After beginning of the spring, Zhang Xiaolong may full 20, should ask the girl to decide. Whole families on basis own impression, a girl girl breaks off to pull with Zhang Xiaolong. The oil lamp goes out, the whole family also has not given full expression, but for tomorrow's Digging a well and farm work, has on the bed to sleep. 这下子,可又把一家人的情绪点燃了。开春后,张小龙可就满20了,也该找了姑娘定下来了。一家人就根据自己的印象,一个姑娘一个姑娘的跟张小龙掰扯起来。油灯熄灭的时候,一家人还都意犹未尽,但为了明日的打井和农活,也都只好上炕睡觉了。 Just before going to sleep before, Zhang Xiaohua has pulled out Bracelet in bosom, is preparing to put under the bedding once more, One Revolution read, what Mister Wu dug out from the place was the treasure, my this was also the treasure, I must preservation well it. But where toward puts? He thinks the Bracelet set in the wrist/skill, at just the right moment, is pasting the appropirateness of wrist/skill unexpectedly, will wield the arm, Bracelet will not skid unexpectedly up and down. In the Zhang Xiaohua heart chuckles to oneself, this customizes to him simply. 临睡前,张小花把怀中的手镯掏了出来,正准备再次放到被褥下面,却又一转念,吴先生从地里挖出的是宝贝,我这个也是宝贝,我得好好的保存它。可是往哪里放呢？他想了想就把手镯套在了手腕上,也真巧,竟然是贴着手腕的合适,挥挥胳膊,手镯竟然不会上下滑动。张小花心中窃喜,这简直就是给他量身定做的嘛。 Until he goes to sleep quite the same as, has not thought that if with his wrist/skill that appropriate, does not have the slit, how he is set of past from hand. Let alone streaky pork in every night of dream already did not see, only then infinite Flickering lights in mind. 直到他浑然入睡,也没有想到,如果跟他的手腕那么的合适,没有缝隙,那他又是如何的从手上套过去的。更别说他每夜梦中的五花肉早已不见,只有无限的闪烁在脑海了。
