The principal smiled and said, "If your child has talent, don't bury it. If there are any difficulties in going to school, such as tuition and fees, I can help you find a way. Lunch can also be eaten at school."
Uncle Fatty said thank you, and gave the principal the bacon and chicken he brought with him. The principal said with a calm face: How can we accept your things as we teach and educate people? You take them quickly, otherwise, I won’t accept them. This kid is.
Uncle Fatty had to take the things back.
I left Qingqing Primary School with Uncle Fatty. Instead of returning to Chahuadong immediately, we walked a small road from here to Fengcheng County. After New Year's Eve, the temperature began to rise, and more people came to visit Fengcheng.
Uncle Fatty sold the local chicken and bacon he brought in his back basket, exchanged some money, and bought me a school bag, as well as books and pens, pencils, ballpoint pens, erasers, pencil cases, and pencil sharpeners, which can be used for school. Uncle Fatty bought a lot of stationery that he could afford and went back with a basket.
Later, we went to a place like a farmer’s market. Uncle Fatty bought a lot of tobacco seedlings and went back. In his words, there are more children in the family and the expenses will increase in the future. So this year we will need a variety of tobacco, and the tobacco will be harvested and dried. , You can sell for money. We also need to open a terraced field to come out with a variety of rice, and the milled grains will be used as our rations.
I smiled and said, "Uncle Fatty, if you work hard for a year, I won't be able to call you Uncle Fatty, but Uncle Thin!" I am very grateful to Uncle Fatty.
Uncle Fatty stretched out his hand and rubbed my head and smiled: "If I really lose weight, I will treat you to a big meal!"
Before returning, we ate beef noodles in the county seat. Uncle Fatty was reluctant to spend money, so he ordered me a bowl of beef noodles and asked for a bowl of vegetarian food. I lied that I didn't like beef, and I gave the beef in the bowl to Uncle Fatty.
Uncle Fatty shook his head: "You child, so sweet!"
After we had eaten, Uncle Fatty suggested that we walk back instead of taking the bus. You can also talk to me on the road. There is no need to bump into the car.
I thought about it for a while. It costs ten yuan for one person to take a car, and twenty yuan for two people. Uncle Fatty is reluctant to add beef to a bowl of noodles. It is better to save some.
I nodded happily: "I just don't want to take the car. The last time I took the car with Luo Dajin, I had to vomit. Let's walk back. Tell me about this story!"
We set off from Fengcheng, walked along the winding mountain road for a while, and then passed through a small road, and then we had to walk a mountain road before we could return to Camellia Cave.
Uncle Fatty told me the story of Emperor Chi You, the ancestor of the Miao people. It is said that Emperor Chi You had ninety-nine and eighty-one brothers, and each brother was amazingly powerful, capable of driving beasts and poisonous insects, in Zhuolu, and the ancestors of the Han people. The battle between the two emperors of Yan and Huang was very fierce.
I was fascinated by it, especially those eighty-one brothers, who could drive all kinds of beasts, which made people yearn for.
I asked Fatty Uncle again, when did Miao Jiang start raising Gu worms
Uncle Fatty told me that he didn't know when to raise Gu worms, but it should have a long history. Great Chi You's people came out in large numbers, maybe it was a way that Chi You's people came up with.
I screamed and couldn't help but said, "What was the original purpose of raising Gu?"
Uncle Fatty said: "Later after Emperor Chiyou was defeated, the Han people often bullied the Miao people. We kept Gu worms at home to protect ourselves. We would put Gu worms in valuable objects, and the thief broke into our home and snatched it away. Our previous objects, the gu worms in that object will kill them!"
I thought to myself, it turned out that Gu worms weren't used to harm people at first, but to protect themselves.
Uncle Fatty said: Later, when someone discovered that the poisonous gu is too powerful, they came up with other ideas, using gu worms to harm people. There are still many Miao people who walked out of the mountains and reached the Han world, and there are also Han people who come to learn. Gu technique was used to harm people. In history, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed many people because of witchcraft.
I nodded: "Gu worms are so powerful, there will definitely be people who are unwilling to use them for self-defense. Once they are born for a few years, they will use gu worms for personal gain. After all, people are greedy." As for the story of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, I have never heard of it, and it is not easy to express my opinion.
Uncle Fatty was silent for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, once a person is occupied by greed, he is easily controlled by Gu worms. It is not a person who raises Gu, but a Gu raises a person."
Uncle Fatty suddenly said such a sentence, but I didn't understand it. There have always been people who raise Gu, so how can there be people who raise Gu? It was years later that I understood what this meant.
I asked again: "Is it only in the Miaojiang area of Xiangxi that people keep Gu? Are there any other places?"
Uncle Fatty shook his head and said, "It is not the case. As long as there are poisonous insects growing and where people live, there will be people raising Gu. It's just that the Miaojiang Gu Sect is more famous. There are also Gu people in Yunnan, Guangxi, Guizhou, and Sichuan. Gu worms are also very powerful. Looking to the southeast, there are also people raising Gu in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong regions."
My eyes rolled and I thought for a while: "Are Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong?"
This time, I’ve gained a lot of experience. It makes sense to memorize Uncle Fatty’s words. In mountainous and hilly areas, the forest must have poisonous insects. The ancestors of the Miao people were able to find ways to raise Gu, and people from other places can also. .
Uncle Fatty nodded: "Yes! There are also Miao people living on Hainan Island. There should also be Gu art spreading there, and some people are proficient in raising Gu. Hainan's climate is special, and the Gu worms raised should also have it. feature!"
I almost yelled out. On the remote Hainan Island, there is even a Gu technique circulating. It was really beyond my expectation. It seems that in the future, I can't think about problems with fixed thinking.
I asked Fatty Uncle what's special!
Uncle Fatty shook his head: "I can't tell. I haven't even figured out the Gu worms in Miaojiang Gu Sect. I don't even know about other places. But I heard from my dad that there was someone who walked a lot in the past. He has studied the Gu techniques and Gu worms in various places. He knows the characteristics of Gu worms everywhere. It's a pity that he has passed away many years."
I took a breath of air-conditioning. The Black Skeleton Man taught me murderous Gu art and was proficient in all kinds of witchcraft, but the Black Skeleton Man may not know the Gu art and Gu worms everywhere, so he smiled and said, "Uncle Fatty, you must It's a mistake, Master Black Skull may not know, the person you mentioned doesn't exist, right."
Uncle Fatty stretched out his hand and patted my head, and scolded, "That person is called Ma Lieyun, Master Insect King's master, do you think he has this skill. Small things, broaden your horizons, things in the world, there is never absolute ."
I uttered a cry, and patted my head vigorously. I just said that I can't think about problems with my old thinking. I didn't expect that just after I finished speaking, I would be guilty of old problems.
I said, "I believe it now."
The prestige of the Insect King is second to none in the Miaojiang Gu Sect. After hearing the instructions of the Insect King, Luo Dajin promised that Uncle Fatty would not be near me for three years. The Insect King's skills are absolutely top-notch, and his master must also be an outstanding character.
Uncle Fatty said that Gu worms can not only kill people, but they can also save people. I didn't refute this, because when the Black Skeleton Man taught me Gu art, he asked me whether I wanted to learn the Gu art of killing or saving people.
I immediately chose the killing Gu technique.
Gu worms are a double-edged sword that can kill and save people.
After walking along the mountain road for more than two hours, we rested on the road for another half an hour, ate some rice balls, and walked for another two hours to reach Chahuadong.
Uncle Fatty asked me: "Xiao Kang, are you tired? Why don't I walk you on my back!" I saw that he was too tired himself, so he shook his head and said, "I have been walking the mountain road all this time, and I have long been used to it. , It doesn't matter, let's go slower, we can get home in dark."
Uncle Fatty stretched out his hand and rubbed my head: "You child is really relieved." After we had a good rest, we set off and crossed a mountain, and we saw Camellia Cave.
As the dusk approached, the whole Camellia Cave was enveloped in a yellow halo, which looked exceptionally beautiful. I couldn't help but look silly, this look is really beautiful.
Uncle Fatty smiled and said, "If you leave here in the future, you will definitely miss the dusk and dawn here. Its beauty is worth remembering for a lifetime."
I said: "Uncle Fatty, I didn't expect you to be a poet. I really admire you for being able to say such poetic sentences."
Uncle Fatty gave me a white look and said, "I'm not a poet, I'm just a passerby. Although Camellia is beautiful, I'm afraid I won't stay long."
I hurriedly asked why. Uncle Fatty shook his head without speaking. I went into the stockade with him, put things down, and had dinner, it was getting late. Uncle Fatty boiled water and asked me to soak my feet.
When I was soaking my feet, I was muttering in my heart, thinking about what happened today, and felt that Uncle Fatty sent me to school, and there was always something uncomfortable to clean up. It stands to reason that Luo Dajin only promised not to come to me within three years, but what to do after three years.
Uncle Fatty should urge me to learn Gu, why should I go to school to study
Although I am very smart, it will definitely take some time to go to school, so I can't learn Gu art and raise Gu worms wholeheartedly. Wouldn't it be impossible to defeat Luo Dajin? Three years later, Luo Dajin came to the door. How should I deal with it
I asked Uncle Fatty: "I don't have much time, why do you want me to go to school? When Luo Dajin came to us in three years, what should we do?"
