A wild boar skin, two long-haired bacon, and a few pieces of change of clothes that the old Taoist in Qingyi brought me from where I don’t know where the Qingyi Dao brought me to change. They all threw them aside. I looked at this familiar and unfamiliar scene, and tears couldn’t stop coming out. But I held back. I was no longer a child now. The road ahead is long. How could I be so fragile? But the more I gritted my teeth and persisted, the more I couldn’t control my emotions. And just when my eyes were blurred, my shoulder was suddenly slapped, and a thunderous voice rang in my ears: “Hey, who is this? Erdan!”

I looked up and saw that this guy had big arms, big waist, small eyes, and was shaved with an ugly bald head. Isn’t it just Luo Da dick, who played with urinating mud when I was a child?

Seeing him, all the sadness in my heart immediately calmed down, jumped up, punched his chest with a punch, and shouted excitedly: "Big dick, I haven't seen you for a long time?" Luo Da dick hugged me, laughed and jumped: "Why are you back? I heard your father say you went to Wugun Mountain and became an apprentice with an old Taoist priest. Why are you back when you have time?" I explained to him that I was not going to be an apprentice for someone, but to treat the disease - the water ghost we met in the stream last time, it was attached to me.

Luo Da's dick was frightened, and quickly jumped away, patted his chest and shouted: "Oh my God, it's okay if you don't say it. As soon as I said it, I remembered that ghost kid. Its face is so scary, but there is no good piece of meat... I then had nightmares all night and had a high fever. If it weren't for your father, Dr. Chen, he might have died! Why is it still attached to you?"

I shook my head and said, "It's gone, I've been saved..."

I said half of this. Although the water ghost was saved by me, most of it was guided by the old Taoist Qingyi. However, at that time, I was eleven or twelve years old and had just come out of the mountain. I was wearing a tattered dress, and I couldn't help feeling a little vain. When Luo Da's dick heard this, Xiao Xingxing suddenly appeared in his eyes and said in admiration: "Erdan, I didn't expect that you had learned such skills after entering the mountain for a few years. I didn't expect that this was a blessing in disguise!"

Luo Daji didn't believe it at first, but when he saw the wild boar skin I was carrying, he looked at the little monkey who looked like a human squatting beside me, so he believed it most of the time, jumped up hard, and went to the village to report the news.

Seeing my old friend so happy, my timid mood was greatly relieved. I walked towards my house with a fat girl. Halfway through the way, I saw my sister Dafeng running over, hugging me and crying. My sister cried, but I laughed. Seeing that she hadn't seen her for a few years, she really became a big girl, with a round face and a sharp face and a big braid. No one in the village looked better than her. At this time, many people in the village surrounded me, greeted me and asked me about my situation.

Before I could speak at this time, Luo Daji said proudly: "Erdan is learning magic from Taoist priests in the mountain, and it's no problem to catch ghosts and monsters!"

His words made me feel hot - I have been learning Taoism for three years and I have not felt angry for a day. What kind of magic is it? But I have said all these big words, and I have not planned to expose this lie. The adults next to me laughed kindly, and I don’t know if they believed it or felt that the children bragging. Surrounded by a crowd, I came to my own intersection and saw my father and mother standing there looking forward, so excited that I didn’t know where to put my hands and feet. The tears that I had just held back suddenly flowed out, rushed to the front and knelt down, and sobbed: "Dad, mother, I’m back."

My mother cried suddenly, while my father was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He touched my head and his hands were trembling: "Oh, it's good to come back, it's good to come back..."

When I got home, after paying my parents, I walked into my stilt house. My sister ran to the kitchen and said she wanted to boil water and take a bath. My mother was worried that I would be hungry and planned to make food for me. After I gave my mother the two bacon and wild boar skin I brought, I told my father about the matter in the mountains, because there were Luo Daji and a few neighbors next to me, and she didn't talk in depth. She just said that the old Taoist priest had helped me treat my illness, but later he left for something, so I came home.

I spoke simply, and the audience didn’t have much patience. I just cared about whether I had learned a lot of skills like Luo Dadi said. My neighbor Wang Gouzi’s grandfather was the most superstitious person. No matter how bad the conditions were at that time, he would not stop the incense on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. He pulled me and asked, “Then what did you learn from that old Taoist priest?”

I saw the crowd around me, and couldn't even hide my face. I pondered for a while and said, "I learned all the secrets, three-character scriptures, thousands-character scriptures, and theses. Later, I learned the Taoist scriptures, philosophical scriptures, and Taoist scriptures. I was not good at it, but I understood them all." Wang Gouzi clapped his hands and laughed, saying, "Okay, okay, I really learned the skills. It sounds amazing. Erdan, your grandfather, I really read you right. You have been different from other kids since you were a child. It seems that if there is anything in our country in the future, you will have to hold your palm..."

Wang Gouzi's grandfather was proud, like my mentor, but I clearly remember that this old man loved to talk about me behind his back, saying that I was a debt collector and a disaster.

I didn't like this old man before, but after the old Taoist Qingyi broke it, I felt that although he was foul, he had some truths and didn't feel much disgusted. However, seeing that he changed his attitude and had a little respect in his words, he said calmly: "Grandpa Wang, don't praise me. I'm just learning the basics. Can it come in handy? What's the matter really depends on..."

There were many people in the house, which was noisy. They went home at dinner time, leaving my father in the main hall, and I explained everything to him.

My father listened carefully to me, and he could not let go of any details. After that, he waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, you live at home first. In fact, many of the old Taoist priests said are slanderous and cannot be done accurately. But I am very pleased that you can read and write. The world has been in chaos in the past two years, and everyone thinks that reading is not good, but it will always end. At that time, knowledge can change your destiny..."

My father spoke, and it was very easy. Not long after, the meal started at home. He cooked a small bowl of glutinous rice, and the rest were sweet potatoes. The vegetables were just picked from the field. They were fried with the bacon I brought back, which was fragrant, green and fragrant.

It can be seen that the life at home is very tight. My mother gave me the bowl of glutinous rice and asked me to eat it. They ate sweet potatoes, while my sister looked at the big fat meat in the bowl and swallowed her saliva.

I am no longer a child who was ignorant of nothing a few years ago. After picking two pieces of fat meat for the fat girl, I picked up the sweet potatoes and ate them while saying to my mother: "Follow the old Taoist priest, I will eat them all. Although he is a Taoist priest, he does not avoid meat and can always get meat. He raises the monkey's mouth, but I still like to eat sweet potatoes, which are fragrant and sweet." When the fat girl heard me say it, she also handed the fat meat to my sister in a pleasing way, and held a piece of sweet potato to eat.

Fat girl has often delivered letters to me in recent years. Everyone in my family is familiar with her. Seeing that she is so sensible, she couldn't help but laugh. My sister stuffed the fat meat into her mouth and said, "You eat it, eat more and it's better to grow."

Everyone was very happy with this meal, and I finally came home.

It was the mid-1970s and there was not too much chaos outside. I heard that Chairman Mao was in poor health. The mountainous area of ​​Mali was deep in the mountains, and the administration was not deep, and there was no collective commune. Everyone farmed and ate it by themselves and collected grains. However, there were not many paddy fields here, and they could only plant some coarse grains such as sweet potatoes and corn. The villagers worked hard for a year and didn’t chew much. After I came home, I didn’t play anymore, nor did I go to school. I just did farm work at home, digging the ground, digging soil and carrying manure, and I was very good at it.
