Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, early in the morning, every household has pasted a fiery red couplet on the door frames on both sides, pasting the word Fu upside down in the middle of the gate, taking the auspicious "Fu to".

Firecrackers more or less every family will put some, some generous people,firecrackers bought more, Li Junjia put the whole hanging early in the morning, the coherent crackling sound shocked out of the small village's new taste.

There are also villagers who have recently migrated from Shandong, Hebei and Liaoning this year, and even the poorest have bought firecrackers, hoping that a cannon will be fired: in the new year and new homeland, the wind and water will be smooth and prosperous.

"Happy New Year, five animals and six birds and a family, one to protect the land, two to protect money, three to protect peace, four to protect the god, five to protect the ancestors, six to protect the peace, a thousand years to protect the rich, ten thousand years to protect the children and grandchildren!"

Tong! syllable! Tong! syllable! Tom snap!!! Firecrackers were heard, the air on the street was blown to pieces, and the crowd laughed everywhere.

At noon, Xingxue put the fried melon seeds and other snacks in a basket, put them on the Kang table, and sat on the hot Kang with Xin Baobao and ate them.

Usually live too frugal too rules too rigid, today's New Year to relax a good time. The couple happily ate snacks, and from time to time, The baby Xin wiped the residue oozing from the opening with a cloth, fortunately the snow was not strange, and it did not affect the appetite at all.

Most of the children wore new clothes and carried fried goods in the snow to put whips, and one by one the small faces were frozen red and did not mind, while putting the whips, they stuffed the food into their mouths and chewed in the cold wind.

The children with no new clothes and no cannons just stood on the side and watched the hungry eyes, or they ran blindly behind the children who set off the firecrackers, and the laughter and laughter added some flavor to the new year of the village.

The Legend of the Tita River (XIII)

"Poor New Year, rich New Year, no dumplings are not counted as New Year's." Dumplings are the most important thing in all the "programs" of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the villagers are prepared in advance, only to be wrapped in the evening, and every household wraps dumplings with different fillings, which have different meanings.

Xin Baobao's family prepared two kinds of fillings, cabbage filling and wild boar meat filling. Cabbage filling: the meaning of a hundred wealth, all kinds of wealth, rushing to the face. Pork stuffing: the meaning of living in wealth, wealth will not go when it comes, live here to take root and sprout.

Zhen Youcai prepared a sun-dried mountain wild vegetable filling, although the weak were unwilling, but had to obey, she did not know the meaning of Zhen Youcai's use of wild vegetables as filling: the meaning of wild wealth, there is unexpected wealth waiting for you to take.

Li Junjia prepared three or four kinds of stuffed dumplings, shiitake mushroom filling: the meaning of drum wealth, the drum of the belt bag, all the way up the fortune. Horse meat stuffing: The meaning of horse wealth is that the horse is successful and the speed of money is fast. Fish stuffing: the meaning of surplus wealth, the family has more money to spend, more than every year. There is also the most important leek filling: the meaning of long-term wealth, and for a long time, wealth is inexhaustible.

At that time, in the winter, there was no invention to grow vegetables in greenhouses, and there were no fresh vegetables to sell on the market. Li Jun's leeks are grown in their own warm house, which is not easy to come by, extremely precious, comparable to bear paws.

Sun Sancang has self-awareness, knows that he is lazy, and pulls an ass and two ribs are famine (foreign debt). So he instructed his daughter-in-law Liu Yinghua to make dumplings with celery: the meaning of diligence and wealth, with diligent hands, to create a steady stream of wealth.

This celery was also not easy to come by, and was prepared by Sun Sancang for many months in advance. Harvested in late autumn, it is buried in the cellar with soil before freezing, and then taken out at the New Year, still fresh and chic.

Wang Xianling loves to calculate, so she prepared sauerkraut as a filling: the meaning of counting wealth, everything that can be calculated will become her own wealth.

Some villagers in the tunzi neither hunt nor collect mountain goods, but those who survive by farming have prepared donkey meat filling: the meaning of green wealth, and those who cultivate land can make money.

This year is the year of sending chickens and dogs. Year of the Rooster, Year of the Dog, Between Chicken and Dog, Non-Chicken non-Dog. Isn't it fun for chickens to fly dogs to jump and eggs to fly chickens to fly?

As soon as the thirty lunches had been eaten, something big happened in the village and exploded: Wang Xianling, the widow, was caught by Huang Daxian'er!

This matter is evil, and the villagers rush to tell each other and go to Wang Xianling's house to see the liveliness.

Wong Tai Sin Er, also known as the weasel, also known as the yellow skin, is a psychic animal.

The Legend of the Tita River (XIII)

There are many legends about yellow skin in the northeast folk, it is said that yellow skin stealing chicken is very distinctive, it looks at a live chicken, jumps up, rides on the chicken, bites the neck of the chicken, does not die, only makes the chicken unable to resist, and then beats the chicken body with its tail and drives the chicken to run.

It adjusted its direction by controlling the neck of the bitten chicken, and the chicken was in unbearable pain and was beaten again, so it ran all the way back to the yellow skin nest according to its guidance, and became the animal's meal.

It is said that when huangpizi practices to a certain time, he can become an immortal, incarnate into an adult, can spell, can channel, the northeast mountain people are afraid of Wong Tai Sin, and many families have specially enshrined the statue of Wong Tai Sin to ensure peace.

The Legend of the Tita River (XIII)

According to the wives of the villager Tofu Zhang, she saw Wang Xianling's seizure with her own eyes, and the situation was extremely strange, which frightened her to this day, and she was still scared.

The tofu Zhang family was relocated from Jilin Tonghua, there was no ridge of land, only to make tofu for the villagers to eat, there are many kinds of tricks, there are old tofu, tender tofu, tofu skin, tofu shreds, tofu bubbles, but also carry to sell tofu residue.

Tofu made of tofu Zhang, can not say where it can be good, a hundred miles, scorpions, just so unique, that is the best!

The Legend of the Tita River (XIII)

On that day, the tofu Zhang ladies pulled a small climbing plough and delivered pulp and stones from house to house.

During the first month, every household eats delicious food, chews snacks, and is prone to thirst. At this time, the pulp was brought to the house, a piece was cut with a kitchen knife, and thrown in a basin and set on the stove.

After a while, the family can turn the table to drink hot soy milk, quenching thirst and nutrition.

The tofu Zhang ladies were sent to Wang Xianling's house at noon, she did not knock on the door, directly went in, while walking inside, shouted: "Xianling sister, put the family aside?" Here comes the pulp for you. ”

All into the house, or no one answered, tofu Zhang niang felt confused, listened to the movement in the stove room, and walked over.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, she saw a very strange scene: Wang Xianling's eyes were straight, lifeless, mu ran took a piece of noodles from the basin, mixed it a few times and patted it into a cake.

"Snap" and slap on the wall!

Then take the noodles and mix them into cakes.

"Snap", this time on the stove!

And so on, turning the circle paste, the wall, the floor, the stove are pasted with bread, but none of them are tapped into the large pot that has opened the lid and is steaming.

Tofu Zhang ladies look at it ridiculously, good cakes, why are they all ruined? He went over and patted Wang Xianling, and smiled: "Big sister, what are you doing?" The days are over? ”。

Wang Xianling stopped moving, slowly turned around, and the face that had always been charming and silky, with cherry lips and a smile, became stiff and cold, and his eyes were sluggish, as if he couldn't see anyone.

The tofu Ladies looked at this strange, terrible, demonic face in horror, and turned to escape, but they were so frightened that their whole body was sour, and one pair of feet just seemed to be nailed, and they couldn't move for half a minute.

When Wang Xianling's eyes met the eyes of the tofu Zhang Ladies, a fierce light flashed at the moment, and his face instantly became vicious, as if he had changed into a person.

No, it's a beast.

Wang Xianling's eyes were wide open, his teeth were cracked, and he spat out a strange tone: "I let any of you have a bad year!" "Then he pounced on the tofu Zhang Ladies!"

"Oh my mother!" The tofu ladies lost their voices and shouted, and the instinctive reaction of the people drove her to turn around and run outside.

Wang Xianling chased after him, but after all, the three-inch Golden Lotus little foot could not run, he could only kick and stomp forward, while chasing, while reading words and stabbing endlessly: "Mother's stingy ghost, eat a chicken in the New Year, and kill my grandson, I let none of you have a good year!" ”

The tofu Ladies were so frightened that they were running away and shouting "Help!" Kill! ”

The Tofu Zhang family was not too far from Wang Xianling's house, and tofu Zhang heard the sound and rushed to come, after all, it was a man, rushing up and grabbing Wang Xianling's arm, and was about to twist the uniform.

No, this small and exquisite appearance of the special thing, at this time the strength is amazing, actually pushed the tofu Zhang to the ground, the mouth of the strange gas, scolding, occasionally mixed with the sound of animals.

Tofu Zhang was taken aback, got up from the snow, did not care about the fear, and rushed up again.

At this time, several villagers arrived just in time, and they joined forces to push Wang Xianling down in the snow and could not move.

Wang Xianling still desperately resisted, wrestling and tearing, screaming and screaming.

The villagers couldn't help but look at each other in amazement, and only then did they know that Wang Xianling must have let the evil thing possess him. Someone in the crowd shouted, "Hurry, call out to Qian Mazi!" ”

Everyone reacted immediately, as if grasping a life-saving straw, a few half-sized children with fast legs had already thrown their legs to Qian Mazi's house.

In the minds of the villagers, Qian Mazi is a half-human, half-immortal Gaoshi.

The Legend of the Tita River (XIII)

Qian Mazi is a Manchu, with mysterious whereabouts and a quick step. He grew smallpox when he was a child, a few light white hemp seeds fell on his face, his hair was all white, his body was hard, and he did not delay eating and working.

In the early years, his son was a small country bastard, and once Qian Mazi was trained fiercely, and his son pointed at Lao Tzu and scolded: Lao Tzu will not see that you are a father, and he will cut you off earlier.

Qian Mazi was breathed by his son, a mouthful of phlegm held in his heart, and his back went away. A bunch of seven aunts and eight aunts quickly pinched people, patted their backs, and tied their chests, so that they could ease up.

It doesn't matter if this slows down, Qian Mazi will be Huang Xian Gu, Heavenly Grandpa, Earth Grandma, and the Ghost Catcher King sang away, saying that he had a nose and an eye. The people next to him were shocked, and the old man came to his senses, and Hula fell to his knees.

Since then, Qian Mazi has become a shaman.

The Legend of the Tita River (XIII)

In the northeast, shamans have a dual identity, being intermediaries and communicators between god and man, and can pass on people's prayers to God, and can also pass on God's will to people. It is both a representative of God and a representative of man speaking to God.

Some people in the village once bumped into evil spirits and turned to him for help, but after he clicked on the broadcast, they actually explained themselves, and the villagers were all convinced. One of the things he cracked was the most amazing thing for the villagers.

The four-year-old son of the Ge Er Egg family in the village, Dog Egg, is usually well-behaved and extremely loved, and his parents and elders especially like him.

One day at noon, the dog egg suddenly told his father and mother to take a nap, and the family did not care, so they laid out the kang and let him lie down. The boy was also quiet, and after he fell asleep, he stopped making a sound.

The dog didn't get up for dinner until it was dark, and the family didn't think anything of it, so they didn't wake him up, and then slept all night.

The next morning, I still didn't get up, no matter how my family shouted and pushed, I just didn't wake up. The mother of the dog egg is about to die: the child is unconscious, so he sleeps, and he is hungry and starving to death.

Some elderly people reminded: This child is obviously not good, he wants to kick his legs, it is estimated that he has been hit by evil, and he quickly asked Qian Mazi to come and see, maybe he can be cured.

The mother of the dog egg hurried to find Qian Mazi. Qian Mazi was rubbing tobacco leaves on the kang, full of a fairy wind Dao bone temperament, after listening to the dog egg mother crying and complaining, he did not resign, and immediately put on his shoes and followed him.

Shamanic tools

Qian Mazi entered Ge Eregg's house, turned around a few times in front of the house and behind the house, carefully observed, and after repeated speculation, he raised his legs and entered the house.

Qian Mazi took a handful of dried mugwort leaves and twisted them into a short pillar in the palm of his hand, planted it on the door of the child's head, and lit it with fire.

The smoke and the burning fire gradually approached the scalp, and the tender skin on the door of the brain could be heard creaking, and the burnt fur emitted a pungent smell of burning.

Then, Qian Mazi pulled the child's eyelids open and looked carefully.

The boy's temperament was not right, the black fog on the printing hall was deep, and the killing lines went straight to the top of his eyebrows. This is Grandma in Hades thinking of him and wants to lead him away! Qian Mazi tensed his face, as if he felt that he was about to be punished before revealing the heavenly opportunity, and his face was pale.

Qian Mazi paused and then said, "The soul is lost, the three souls and seven spirits are now only two souls and three souls, and they must be recovered as soon as possible, otherwise this child will be delirious and demented forever, similar to a vegetative person." ”

When Ge Er Egg and his wife listened, they couldn't help but look at each other and change color. It has been three months since the child's grandmother passed away, and the dead want to live, but let no one live?

  The mother of the dog egg couldn't help but cry loudly, and the father also quickly pleaded: "Uncle Qian, you hurry up and think of a way to save the boy, I beg you." "I'm going to kneel down."

Qian Mazi hugged the mother of the dog egg and calmly said, "Bai (don't) hurry, I tell you a fa'er, you just need to be not bad at all, and ensure that the child can wake up." The couple was overjoyed.

Qian Mazi explained that the child's soul has let the grandmother lead into the hades home, the child is small, does not recognize the road, he can't come back, he needs to prepare dog blood, prepare more white cloth and black cloth, cut into two fingers wide, but it should be long, the middle should be connected, can not be broken, and at night from the door of his own courtyard all the way to the grave of the child's grandmother. The child's father went to spread the cloth, black and white cloth parallel, and the child's mother shouted the child's name at the door: "Dog egg!" Dog eggs! "Keep shouting. When the child's father spread the cloth in front of the child's grandmother's grave, he had to say a few words: "Mother, this is not the place for the child to stay, you let him go home." After the grunting, he prostrated his head three times, and then he collected the cloth as he walked back, and received the home until the child naturally returned.

Ge Er Egg wondered, why do you need to pave the way in black and white?

Qian Mazi suddenly changed his voice, and the exit was the voice of a young child, and he explained: The people of hades do not take the white road, only take the black road, the child's soul can run back along the white road, if his grandmother chases, she will definitely rush along the black road, and she will not be able to catch the child, as long as she arrives home, his grandmother will have no choice.

Ge Eregg and his wife suddenly realized and quickly acted according to their words.

Then, Qian Mazi put on a black robe, covered with white hair, held a peach wood sword, and began to dance the god.

This is a special custom in the northeast. Anyone who is sick or has lost something important can ask the shaman to hold a big jump.

Qian Mazi wore a divine robe, tied a god bell and a skirt around his waist, and wore a hat of the Nine Birds god, and suddenly meditated on the ground, and suddenly he danced again, dancing with his hands and feet, and finally shook his waist while singing the Divine Comedy: Grandma Bogda, your flesh and bones, have rotted and cannot be reborn; Grandma Bogda, born and dies, all things reincarnate; Grandma Bogda, born old and sick, destined by heaven, do not force it; Grandma Bogda, if you break the precepts, you will be subjected to heaven, and your soul will be completely wrong, and you must not be overborn; Grandma Bogda, I also chant the mantra to dispel your grievances. And I pray, send you reincarnation, Grandma Bogda, release the child, Naasa on the mountain, Naasa in the river, go to Naasa in the middle of nowhere..."

The Legend of the Tita River (XIII)

Qian Mazi's voice was high-pitched, searching for the soul of a child.

He began to jump from dusk until the stars came out, and then he suddenly fell to the ground.

The moment he fell to the ground, the dog egg woke up, and everyone immediately poured the prepared dog blood from the head.

The family was surprised and hurriedly asked the dog egg: "Do you know where you went?" ”

The dog egg with a face full of dog blood replied: "Grandma went there, and then I heard my mother keep calling me, I wanted to go home, my grandma didn't let me, I just ran out with a hard struggle, and when I went out and saw a white road, I went up and ran, and my mother was on the black road, and I didn't pick it up, and I came back." ”

Everyone listened and took a breath of cool air. Ge Eregg and his wife brought a heavy gift to Qian Mazi's house early the next morning, thanking them very much and praising them very much.

Qian Mazi didn't care, his expression was numb, and he only said that he hid in nothing, and made something out of nothing. I leaked the opportunity, and I am afraid that I will not be able to die in the future.

Ge Eregg and his wife hurriedly replied with a lot of stuttering words, flattering, praising, and praising Qian Mazi for saving the child's life, which is a great virtue and will have the ultimate blessing.

Qian Mazi shook his head, only saying that the heavenly opportunity could not be leaked, and that his own Lao Tzu and relatives could not break the heavenly opportunity, so he stopped speaking.

Afterwards, Ge Eregg and his wife praised the great kindness of Qian Mazi every time, and passed it on by word of mouth, passing on ten or ten hundred, so that everyone was well-known and the villagers admired it.

Later, there were people in the village who lost money and lost their children, and they all came to find Qian Mazi to ask for help, crying and crying about their disasters.

Qian Mazi carefully asked the child when and why he went, and then made a judgment to help them find it, and many times it really came true.
