On New Year's Eve, before dawn, every household set off firecrackers. There is no gunpowder in Yu Chao at this time, and there will be no subsequent firecrackers, only firecrackers.
As the name suggests, firecrackers are throwing bamboo into a brazier and burning it. When it expands, it will make a bursting sound. There is also a saying that on the 30th day of the new year, a beast called 'Nian' will go down the mountain to look for food, and humans are its food. In the past, many human beings were buried in their food and drink. Later, someone accidentally discovered that "Nian" is afraid of violent noise, and the sound of firecrackers burning can scare "Nian", so every family lit firecrackers. From then on, 'Nian' was frightened and went back to the mountains, not daring to enter the world and eat people again.
'Nian' is just a legend, whether it really exists is still open to debate, but it is true that beasts are afraid of fire and firecrackers.
The continuous sound of firecrackers this morning frightened the crooked wolfdog on the ground to whine lowly, trembling all over, struggling to get up regardless of the wounds on his body. However, it was seriously injured and its body was weak. After struggling for a long time, it still struggled in place. Its mouth was still tied, and it couldn't open it wide, only groaning.
Tang Shou poked his head out of the bed to look at him, he was fine, quite energetic, he didn't look like he was going to die, and he didn't know how many nights he would last.
As more and more people set off firecrackers, the barking of wolf dogs became more and more intense, as if they could tear the rope at any time. Seeing it like this, Tang Shou was really a little scared. Not to mention the wolfdogs who hang out with wolves all the year round and don't touch people, even the little country dogs that are kept around people all year round in the countryside. Once they are startled by firecrackers, they may go crazy and deny their masters. This wolf dog was not raised by him since he was a child, and he played with people very much. Even if he was seriously injured, if his mouth broke free from the rope, if he tried his best to give him a bite, he would either die or be injured.
People in later generations were almost isolated from wild animals, and people at this time even occasionally had the experience of driving away wild animals. So it's no wonder that Tang Shou was timid, the video of a wolf dog biting a human after being frightened on TV flooded his mind. The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became. I was so scared that the quilt would slide down that I didn't dare to stretch out my hand to pull it. I was afraid that it would disturb the underground wolf dog, stimulate its sensitive nerves, and make it jump up.
Just when Tang Shou was so frightened that he forgot to call out, Xiong Zhuangshan came back. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Tang Shou's quilt slipped completely under his body, and he didn't dare to touch it, so he stared at the wolf dog on the ground tremblingly, looking very pitiful.
Tang Shou's appearance made Xiong Zhuangshan's heart shiver suddenly. He strode in, pulled off the old quilt and covered the wolfdog completely. How many isolated sounds and the familiar darkness made the wolfdog no longer bark, but curled up and hid beneath it, shivering.
Xiong Zhuangshan immediately sat on the edge of the kang, pulled off the quilt and wrapped Tang Shou into his arms.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay, I'll be back." Xiong Zhuangshan's two arms were tightly shackled around Tang Shou's waist, as firm as iron tongs. Such a force made Tang Shou's ribs feel a little painful. But at this moment, the pain made Tang Shou feel at ease, he wished Xiong Zhuangshan could use more force.
Tang Shou nestled in Xiong Zhuangshan's chest for a moment, then slowly recovered, he was a little embarrassed when he came back to his senses, the wolfhounds underground were fine, but he himself frightened himself half to death.
He shook his head shyly, "It's okay, you finished your work, why is it so early today?"
"Not yet, I heard the sound of firecrackers getting louder and louder, and I thought there was a wolf dog in the house. I was afraid that the wolf dog would hurt you if it was frightened, so I hurried back to look at it. I didn't expect it to scare you. I came back late It's gone." Xiong Zhuangshan said guiltily.
"It's okay." Tang Shou said: "I'm usually afraid of dogs, maybe it's not because my family is not at ease."
"Then I put it in the kitchen, or outside?"
"Farewell, just let it stay here. I'm going to the kitchen to make food later. I'm even more afraid of it in the kitchen. As for the outside, we managed to save it. After using so many wound medicines, we gave it a freezer." If you die, you will be blind for nothing." Tang Shou has fully recovered and is no longer afraid. Although he woke up earlier than every day, he didn't plan to go back to sleep, and he couldn't sleep anymore. Besides, there was a lot of food to do during the Chinese New Year, so he should get up and get busy. But fortunately, the ancestors made offerings at Mother Xiong's house, so they didn't need to prepare tributes, which saved a lot of trouble.
"Wait for me, we'll go out together in two or two." Tang Shou got up and put on his clothes, afraid that Xiong Zhuangshan would leave, so he threw himself down to the wolfdog to share the same room, and hurriedly said.
"Don't worry, wear it slowly, I won't leave." Seeing Tang Shou wearing his clothes backwards, Xiong Zhuangshan went to help.
Even if there is no need to prepare tribute, Tang Shou still has to eat a lot. The food on the New Year's Eve is very particular, and he can't deal with it. For breakfast, Tang Shou made six dishes for good luck.
After having breakfast, I rested for an hour and couldn't wait to get ready.little sheep. This kind of fox pretends to be a tiger, and turns others' faces quickly, making Tang Shou not only not afraid of it, but also finds it amusing.
? In May, the ice and snow melt, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, and everything is recovering. It is the busy season of farming every year.
It is said that Xiong Zhuangshan's family is rich, not only the pigs and sheep in the backyard, but also the land Xiong Zhuangshan bought over the years.
There are three acres of dry fields and three acres of paddy fields.
These lands were not allocated from Xiong's mother's family, but Xiong Zhuangshan bought them bit by bit over the years. The paddy fields were bought by him with money, and the dry fields were reclaimed bit by bit with all his manpower. In an era of lack of manpower and material resources, land reclamation was a very difficult task. Many wastelands in border areas were even used as exile places for prisoners. The daily work they did there was land reclamation, which shows the hard work of land reclamation.
?The land after land reclamation needs to be cultivated. It is not possible to plant grain immediately to have a good harvest. It is often normal to have a final harvest of two to three hundred catties. It is not a matter of one or two years to cultivate the land, and sometimes it is normal to cultivate it for three or four years. Therefore, many villagers will not choose to open up wasteland. They are so tired that they will die and live. The food they grow is not enough for one person to eat for two months. They might as well go out to work. Furthermore, in case of natural disasters, there will be no harvest.
Tang Shou, a child from the city in later generations, can eat, drink and have fun, but he really doesn't know how to do farm work. Not only can't help, but also put people on the back.
