0 The epidemic has been repeated. Liu Sanshan, who is working outside, always works and stops. After a year of busy work, he has not yet earned much in half a year. Thinking about the long term, both sides of the family will be better off, so Liu Sanshan listened to his wife's advice: "Go to his mother's feet, just forget it at home. We are in our sixties, so we will still go home to guard the warm kang of our wife and grandson. No matter what, we have to go home."
Liu Sanshan returned home, thinking that if he stayed at home this year, he would not have much profit. After the spring, he and his wife Li Guilan were thinking about what side jobs to do to make some money, and also make up for some losses of giving up working outside.
is also blessed by the lucky star in the dark. After thinking about it, Liu Sanshan and his wife really found a way to make money, which is to raise head shaking insects. This kind of nourishment has really benefited greatly after frost drops in this year. After calculating, it can earn 50,000 or 60,000 yuan. The small test was a victory, but Liu Sanshan was so excited. Even though I was excited, I said, "After all, I have to thank the grandmother of Huanghai. Huanghai, Huanghai, I will stew ribs for you today. Don't forget to give you two pieces of grandma."
Huanghai is a little bitch with a golden fur color. It is characterized by the hybridization of wolfdog and Shiba Inu . When I heard the owner call it, I ran over and shook my tail. First, I barked twice, and then I looked up and let out a long and brisk howl, with obvious wolfishness.
"Oh! Speaking of which, Huang Daniu has been away for almost forty years! I really miss it. It is really a blessing in our family!" Liu Sanshan said, helping Li Guilan pack up the cooking utensils and stew pork ribs. Her thoughts have long returned to the three difficult period that her parents often talked about when they were alive.
At that time, Liu Sanshan was not born yet. Five years after his parents got married, they gave birth to their eldest brother Jinshan and their second brother Yinshan. By 1960, my eldest brother was 4 years old and my second brother was two years old. The whole village was stirring spoons in the same pot, known as the "canteen" in history. Later, even the sweet potato seedlings were ground into powder and mixed into sweet potato noodles, but they still couldn't fill their stomachs. From 1959 to 1961, women were basically hungry for three years. Therefore, in the Liuhewan area in southwest Henan, few children were born in those years.
It is said that "food is the most important thing for people." The villagers were so hungry that they were in danger, so they naturally thought of some evil deeds and had the idea of stealing. Large livestock such as cattle, horses and donkeys are collectively raised by production teams. The elderly and weak have slaughtered and improved the food in the canteen. Livestock and poultry such as pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese were rarely raised in those years. People have no food or drink, so how can they afford them? Because dogs are so hungry that they even eat human shit, grass and insects. Cats are born to catch mice, and some families in the village still survive.
That was the famine in 1960. When the young and old age was in trouble, the village established a dog-beating team. With the high-sounding reason that "dogs look down on the poor and are slaves of the rich and rich people, they will be killed and eaten as the fruit of victory."
There was a pregnant bitch at the time of Liu Sanshan's family. She was gentle by nature and quite human. During the day, she usually squinted her eyes and slept at the gate of the yard and rarely barked at pedestrians. However, at night, she met a stranger who entered the yard and called the police loudly. Because this bitch is very popular with Liu Sanshan's parents and elder brother, he uses the nickname of a girl to call her "Huang Daniu" according to her fur color nature.
When Murakami was in the rise of dog fighting team, Huang Daniu was still shiny. Although she was only half fat and not as fat as Hou Qiu, she looked seventy or eighty kilograms because she was pregnant. If she was really caught, she would get dozens of kilograms of dog meat. The reason why Huang Daniu can still shine in the years when the villagers can't even eat is that it has mastered its ability to survive in the wild. Especially in the autumn, although there are not many crops in the field, insects such as beans, grasshoppers, crickets, grasshoppers, grasshoppers, and frogs. There are also remaining small fish, shrimps, eels, loaches, and frogs. There are also mice and earth snakes on the slopes of the fields and rivers, and sometimes hares, pheasants, hedgehogs, etc. These wild animals can be caught to satisfy their hunger and fat.
Huang Daniu is best at catching Doudan to eat. The common name of Doudan is also called sesame insect . This meat worm is said to be sesame worm, but it rarely feeds on sesame leaves. It likes to be raw in soybean fields and sweet potato fields. The larvae of the insect looks like mulberry silkworm . It is blue all over. It has a sharp corner on its head. It can grow up to two inches long. It is the size of the little fingers of the body and is squirming. It relies on eating the leaves of the crops to make a living. In the autumn season, the insect crawled into the land and most of it turned into a red pupa. The pupa was about an inch long and had a paperclip-like nose transformed from sharp corners on it, but its tail was pointed. There were several links. Once a person digs it out of the ground, it kept wiggling its red pointed tail, which was very fun. After a winter, this pupa turned into a gray-white big moth in the second year, and began its mission of laying eggs in late summer and early autumn.
Huang Daniu caught beans and ate wild insects. When she was in the third month of the lunar calendar, she was pregnant and still had half fat, so she naturally couldn't escape the "dog eyes" of the dog team. There were two dog-beating teams who came to arrest him. Fortunately, Liu Sanshan's father Liu Minghui got the letter early, so he covered his mouth and hid it in the sweet potato cellar under the bed, which temporarily escaped the disaster. However, the dog-beating team arrested the village like a net. Basically, all the dogs of all sizes were killed. Liu Minghui saw that Huang Daniu was hiding at home without food or drinking. He would lose his life. In the middle of the night, he specially raised it from the sweet potato cellar, fed it half a piece of the prepared vegetable nest and a mouse, and touched its dog head and told it: "Big girl, our family really can't save the lives of you and the kids in your belly. Listen to me, let me show you a way out."
Huang Daniu was closing her eyes, so she looked up and opened her eyes, looked at Liu Minghui, and said "instructions" from her mouth, obviously unwilling.
"Big girl, it's not that I'm cruel to chase you away, it's really hard for you to hide at home!" Liu Minghui hugged Da Niu's head and rubbed it, and said, "The wheat seedlings in the field can hide rabbits. The wild cat caves, broken tombs, and wild woods in the west slope are all your hiding places. Don't move there during the day. Come out to catch rabbits and dig mice and dig the toad holes. After the Qingming Festival, the wheat is a little yellow, and it is also when you are in the confinement period. At that time, if you hide in the wheat field, the family will not have to worry about food and drink."
Huang Da Niu listened to his master's advice and hummed twice, as if he understood human words.
"I will protect you tonight." Seeing Huang Daniu listening seriously, Liu Minghui whispered again, "It's just that you've gone out. Remember not to scream in the field. Alas, if you don't call, the dogs dare not call, it will be a bad thing if you scream!" After
finished reminding these, Liu Minghui got up and opened the door, quietly opened the yard door, and looked around, but he saw that the four and five days of the field were quiet and the moonlight was dim. It was already four or five o'clock, and there was peace outside. So, he called Huang Daniu lightly when he entered the door, and Daniu shook his tail and followed him. Just as he was about to go out, his wife Zhang Daying woke up, but she just sighed, called the girl to the front, touched the dog's head, and said in a crying voice: "Niu, it's not that we are cruel, but that's really useless. You can hide outside for a while, and wait until the dogfighting team stops making a fuss, and the family life is a little better, I will pick you up home. Go, be obedient!"
Huang Daniu rubbed the hostess with her nose. Then, Liu Minghui called out softly: "Big girl, go!" He hugged his waist and ran out of the yard.
One master and one dog went west in the dark night and left the village in half a quarter of an hour. Looking around, there is an endless wheat field. A cold wind blew, and Liu Minghui unconsciously called Cold War . Looking at Huang Daniu who was rubbing her trouser legs under the night sky, Liu Minghui bent down and stroked the dog's head, and said softly, "Remember, don't move when you go to the wilderness during the day, and come out to find food in the dark. Also, don't scream!" Thinking about it, he patted Huang Daniu's head again and said, "Everyone will have three disasters and eight difficulties. If you escaped this disaster, as long as I can't starve to death, we will be together sooner or later. If you miss you, I will go to see you.Go! "
Huang Daniu let out another "speak" and ran along the avenue. She ran not far away. She turned around and stopped again. Her two glittering eyes looked particularly bright in the night, and a faint light appeared in the brightness, obviously she was crying. Liu Minghui coughed softly again and stomped his feet. Huang Daniu turned her head and the arrow seemed to run down the avenue, and suddenly disappeared into the wheat field in the night.
was probably the moonlight scene after Huang Daniu escaped at night. The dogs on the field have been wiped out by the dog beater team. The dog beater team that has no dog soup and food and drink has dispersed. The wheat in the field, although not strong enough, still began to grout in the fourth month of the lunar calendar, bringing some hope to the hungry villagers.
At this time, it turned out that the hares who were frightened when they saw people and ran away without a trace became bolder. They saw them in the wheat field. The old man and child who were pulling weeds dared to stand up their front paws and look at each other from a distance between the feet of the bare feet. When you throw a piece of soil and rubble over, you will run into the wheat ridge slowly.
One morning, Liu Minghui got up to sweep the yard, but saw a big rabbit weighing four or five pounds in the yard. There was obviously a trace of animal stomping on the wall of the yard. Liu Minghui held the rabbit, and seemed to understand something in his heart, and a warm current emerged, a little sour.
Another week passed, another pheasant was thrown into the Liu family's yard.
Liu Minghui discussed with Zhang Daying in private and went around the Daxi slope for a few days in the following days. First, he sang the singing segments of Wanbang or Henan Opera while walking. Later, while there was no one around, he kept saying: "Don't move you randomly, it's dangerous! "
After more than a month, there was no movement in the yard.
In May, after the wheat was cut, the famine was slightly reduced. Soon, autumn crops such as corn, sorghum, , sesame, soybeans, mung beans, and sweet potatoes spread out in pieces on the field. The green gauze tent fluttered in the wind, and became a paradise for hares, pheasants, hedgehogs, and mice.
Liu Minghui took the time to carry a grass basket, sang local opera , and then walked around the west slope at will. On that day, in a corn field, Liu Minghui heard an animal "screaming". Looking in the sound, it was clearly Huang Daniu lying in the ditch, with his tail shaking rapidly.
"Oh, big girl! "When Liu Minghui saw that there was no one around, he squatted down and called out softly, "Big girl, come here, come here, call me to see you! "
Huang Daniu crawled towards Liu Minghui. After it glanced vigilantly, it howled twice in the green gauze tent, and then heard a shaking wave in the adjacent soybean field, and three yellow fluffy puppies suddenly jumped out of it. One puppies also had a moving sesame worm in their mouth.
"Hehe, big girl, are you really like it, are you really mom? He also raised the children so well! Earn, you Earn! "Liu Minghui looked at it and smiled and kept praising Huang Daniu. Huang Daniu was so beautiful that she arched the puppy with her nose, and then pulled the puppy with her paws, happily scattering joy in the corn ditch, obviously showing off her achievements.
"Okay, okay! Big girl, you should take your kids to hide for a while. I see that life is getting better, so you guys wait patiently for a while. If I can call you back earlier, I will go home! "Liu Minghui was afraid of exposing the shapes of the big girl's mother and son, so he patted the big girl's head and caressed the puppies who were half a foot tall one by one. With a wave of his hand, he let them get into the boundless green gauze tent. A few deep long howls rang out in the green gauze tent.
The sun and the moon soon returned to the wheat harvest season in 1961. During Liu Minghui's inspection reminder, Huang Daniu's mother and son escaped another crisis. In the autumn of this year, the sweet potatoes were harvested again, and the disbanded canteen made every household in Liuhewan drink cigarettes.
" Children, it's time to call our big girl's family back! "On that day, Liu Minghui, who had finished digging sweet potatoes, said to Jinshan and Yinshan, "Our big girls and kids are hiding in that locust forest. You keep all the shaking insects you picked up and the grasshoppers you caught as a meeting gift for the big girls' house."
When I heard this, I jumped three feet high with joy, and followed my father to the west slope with my father.
"Big girl, take my kids out, life is starting to get better. Go home! "Liu Minghui summoned loudly into the forest, and his two sons shouted repeatedly: "Big girl, come out to eat the shaking headworm. "There are also old flat grasshoppers! "
Wait for a while, and a few long howls came from the forest. After waiting for a while, Huang Daniu jumped out first, then he howled in the forest twice, and three agile yellow dogs ran out one after another. Everyone was excited, and a half-large black and white flower dog ran out of the forest. The flower dog shook his head and tail around Huang Daniu, and looked at Liu Minghui and his son vigilantly.
"Hahaha, you big girl, you are really a ghost spirit! "Liu Minghui laughed and pointed at Huang Daniu who was waving his tail on the ground, and said to Jinshan, "Look at it, Daniu can really become a sperm." In the past, it only brought the little yellow dogs out, and even I didn't know that it gave birth to a little flower dog. Do you know why not? It is worried that the little flower dog will easily expose its target without any cover! "
Huang Daniu hummed, as if admitting that his master saw through its thoughts.
Liu Minghui and his son took Huang Daniu's family who had been hiding in Tibet for more than a year and soon alarmed Liuhewan. People from three miles and five villages came to see each other. Everyone didn't understand at first that Huang Daniu and its four children, two male and two mothers, didn't know why they wouldn't bark seriously. What they felt like from their throats were all long tones similar to howling. Soon, Jinshan found the scars on its neck while teasing the little flower dog. It turned out that its vocal cords were bitten. And the three yellow dogs were no exception.
"Big girl, honestly, you bit the throats of these dogs, right? "Liu Minghui pretended to be angry, and used his hand to draw on his neck, and then let out a wolf howl and asked Huang Daniu. Huang Daniu let out a "whimper" sad whisper, and two turbid tears oozed out of his eyes.
Zhang Daying saw this, while pouring sweet potatoes for Huang Daniu and his son, sighing: "It's really not easy for a big girl! Children, you must treat them well in the future! "
Because of the thought of Huang Daniu's family's not easy and Huang Daniu's good, this family was raised by Liu Minghui's family. Huang Daniu knew that it was difficult for the owner to raise them, and he could not change his habit of eating wild animals, so he always brought a group of descendants to the fields to catch small animals. From time to time, he brought a rabbit or pheasant to the owner. Every autumn, the mother and daughter of Daniu added puppies again, and they always saw them vomiting big mouthfuls of food in front of the puppies, so that the puppies could eat. Liu Sanshan, who was born in the autumn of 1962, knew that it was "dog qin". The main ingredients were a mixture of sesame insects or head shaking insects and crickets and grasshoppers, all of which were nutritious wild game.
Huang Daniu lived until the mid-1980s and closed her eyes. It can be considered a long life among dogs. After closing her eyes, Liu Sanshan buried her on a sunny slope in Liuhewan according to her parents' instructions. Its descendants have now reproduced into a large group that can bark and howl and become a famous dog breed in the care of the housekeeper in the Liuhewan area. The yellow-haired family is now raising Huang Daniu, who is more than ten generations of Huang Daniu's grandmother, and it also has a living old lady, an elderly dog in her thirties. It should be called the grandmother to Huang Daniu's daughter, the little flower dog.
"In recent years, I have heard that southerners love to eat sesame insects, and a pound can be sold for forty or fifty yuan. Then if we sell shaking headworms, they will definitely be more valuable than sesame insects! "Liu Sanshan tried a unique business with this inspiration inspired by the Huang Daniu family. Therefore, he deliberately left a part of the shaking headworms as planting insects, and called on his elder brother and the second brother to start pollution-free insect breeding in Liuhewan.
"We are the ones who make a fortune and never forget to lead the way. On the day the company was officially established, I brought pork ribs and sesame seeds, called Huangmao and his old lady, went to Huangdaniu's cemetery, and also worshiped this good girl who brought good luck to our family, their ancestors! "When Jinshan and Yinshan heard it, they applauded.
Huangmao heard the conversation between the three brothers of the Liu family, shouting and howling, very happy.Its strange cry attracted cheerful echoes from relatives in the river bay, and also made Liuhewan, which had not yet completely dissipated, suddenly become alive and full of vitality.
