Chapter 106 Chapter 18 Aqin

The village where Xu Aqin lives is called Zhao Shandu, which is also on the edge of a mountain stream, but that section of the mountain stream over there is very wide, so there was a ferry at that time. Later, the bridge was built and the ferry was abandoned, but the name of Zhao Shandu has been used. The bridge is An ancient bridge, the bridge is full of herring reliefs, it is said that it is for something from the town stream, and it is said that there is a stone sculpture of a turtle at the bridgehead, which was later stolen by others. I drove the golden cup and listened to my second uncle talking about the origin, talking about the tortoise stone carving, I saw the third uncle's face changed, so I asked him if he did it.The third uncle said he was ashamed, he didn't catch up, as far as he knew, it might have been his old man and my grandfather did it, even if it wasn't, he would have done it wrong, because he had seen similar ones at home when he was a child.

My cousin didn't come with me, and my little golden cup couldn't hold so many people. Only my second uncle and third uncle added my third uncle as a buddy. Zhaoshandu is definitely not far from here. When you look up at the entrance of the village, you can see a temple belonging to Zhaoshandu on the mountainside upstream, but driving is going to kill you. It was already noon when we got there. It was already time for the ancestral grave to be re-buried. I didn't want to participate, so I found an excuse to be a driver and ran away. My cousin said that we should avoid our birthdays, so my father participated alone. My father looked much better today, but fortunately he lay in bed for a few days and didn't know about these unlucky things.

When we arrived at Zhaoshandu, we asked people. Xu Aqin, a century-old man, was very famous, and we found out as soon as we asked. The village is not big, so we arrived at his home soon. It was a very dilapidated wooden house, half of the tiles were gone, and it was almost a house that went up and down. When I entered the door, I saw a lot of pickles hanging on wires in the yard, and a withered old man huddled in the doorway to bask in the sun.He was wearing blue linen clothes and a velvet hat, and there was an unknown vegetable drying on the ground. "Damn it, second child, who said that eating pickles is short-lived?" Third Uncle muttered.

"Call me Second Brother, don't call me Second Brother." Second Uncle said. I held back my laughter and followed them. The old man raised his head and looked at us, obviously a little surprised. The moment he looked up, I saw his face, and my heart skipped a beat. I have never seen such an old face. The feeling is indescribable. I have seen not a few old people, and I have seen those who are centenarians, but I can accept the faces of those people, but this face , but it made me feel a little scared, that's too old, is it really only a hundred years old? The second uncle explained the purpose of his visit, but Xu Aqin didn't respond, didn't stand up, just nodded, moved his toothless lips, seemed to be thinking, and waited for two minutes before he opened his mouth (he was talking about the pure old Changsha words): "It's been so long, I don't know if I remember it or not."

"Please think about it," said the second uncle. "Buy me some pickles, I'll think about it." Xu Aqin pointed to the pickles hanging on the wire. My second and third uncles and I were taken aback, and I said to myself, don't look so old, I understand it quite well.We looked at each other, and the third uncle said, "How much is a handful?" Uncle San’s idea is that what he said may be a lingo, but he actually means asking for money. Of course, the price will not be the real price, but will be very high. This is a way of extorting money. "2 yuan a bunch."

We looked at each other again, and felt that the old man really only wanted to sell a few handfuls of pickled vegetables. The third uncle said yes, then buy three handfuls, and motioned for me to pay for it. I thought to myself, why the hell is it me again, and I was embarrassed to say no, so I touched it from my pocket, and it turned out that they were all one hundred, and there was only one piece of five yuan, so I reflexively said: "Five yuan and three are counted." gone." The third uncle slapped me on the head, "When the hell are you still thinking about bargaining?" He took out a one hundred and handed it over, "Old man, I bought them all, think quickly."

Xu Aqin took the money tremblingly, and took a photo of it to the sun before saying, "What did you ask me just now?"
