The district attaches great importance to the protection of the old street, the district literary association has published a number of articles in succession, those historical stories, old anecdotes, has now become a hot spot for people from the first to the eighth in the mouth, and there are often long guns and short cannons in the streets and alleys looking for old scenes, listening to old stories, and rushing to take photos.

Several teachers and friends said to me that we have personally experienced the changes in the old streets from Half the Street to the Pass, and the old streets of Wuliduokou, and have seen the whole process of the prosperity of the old streets from prosperity to snubs and ruins for 70 years, and know many stories passed down by word of mouth. They all proposed that life has reached the end of its ancient life, and there are not many people who can skillfully use the Internet and computers to write, and they should write down it well and continue to write the chapters of the characters as much as they can. They reminisced with me, told stories and inspired me. The character in this article is Lan's mother-in-law at the mouth of the old street, and she is a well-known lady on the old street of The Old Street.

The solitaire bridge at the mouth of the mouth is always there

Lan Po-po, surnamed Yi, lives in a stilt house at the entrance of a general street in The entrance of the wooden building, and under the pillars of the wooden building is a pond and paddy field. She learned kung fu, and the old people said that the tall Lan Mother-in-law, if you want to talk about fighting, the average man is not her opponent. Grandma Lan also has a culture, she can tell stories, tell biographies, and always talk about the Tao.

More than sixty years ago, on the telephone poles of The Old Street, a small piece of red or white paper brush writing posts were often posted, which read: "Emperor Di Huang Huang, my family has a night crying lang, passing gentlemen read a thought, sleep until the light of day." Grandma always told me: "The little man can recognize the words, and don't read the words on the post, don't be frightened, frightened." ”

This is someone whose child loves to cry and make trouble at night, and should invite Grandma Lan to his house to "collect the shock". Grandma Lan is always in the old street and half of the street, is often "shocked" by people, she also has to emphasize every time, the post is written, to be when no one sees, paste to the pole and often people walk around, conspicuous wall.

Some children, Grandma Lan still wants to tell them to "shout night" at home. It was almost dark, and his mother was about to shout a few times from the outside of the door, "So-and-so Jiye, so-and-so jiye, come back and sleepy!" While slowly walking into the door, the brothers and sisters of the family must immediately promise a few voices, "Come back!" ”

The "Night Cryer" himself, who can speak, does not know the rules very well, and generally takes the initiative to answer "Weng Ma, I am in the house!" Mom, I'm back! Mother Weng, I'm going to go out! "There are quite a few such shouts and answers, and it still feels funny to look back on now." Grandma Lan's concoction technique was still quite magical.

The children of that year and month were more "homesick". Once you get the disease of "walking home", there are three manifestations: one is that you love to cry at night, always crying all night; the second is yellow hair, and there is no hair on the brain shell; the third is that the stomach is very large, and the navel is inverted. As soon as Grandma Lan arrived, we would all gather around and watch her pick up the chancre of the delicate man and cure the "walking home". For a child in the hands of an adult, Grandma Lan would first touch his face, pinch his fingers, and for a few minutes he would still recite words in his mouth, and finally a loud "Yu yu, yu yu!" ”

She first looked into the child's eyes, then looked closely at the nails of her hands, pinching the lines of each finger joint. Then, from the Chinese cardigan took out a box, there was a needle, the needle was thicker than the sewing needle, first wiped the stripe in the middle of the finger with cotton, and then wiped the needle, and then quickly tied down, squeezed with both hands, there must be a transparent liquid out, in the child's cry, Lan Grandma quickly tied all his fingers to the needle and squeezed out the water.

Grandma Lan will come to prick a few times in a few days, the transparent liquid in her fingers will be less and less, she looks at the lines on her fingers, she knows that she is well, she does not cry at night, and she will not prick needles. Later, the little brothers and sisters in the neighborhood were crying, and when they heard their brother shout, "Grandma Lan is coming!" The crying will stop immediately.

Grandma Lan will also "draw water". Someone got a fish's thorn stuck in her throat, and after finding the door, I watched her scoop a bowl of water from the water tank, hold the bowl in one hand, draw a circle with one finger, and then the bowl of water would be given to people to drink, and the problem would be solved. Grandma Lan will also cut women's hair, and repairing women's hairstyles is very doorway.

The original half of the street is connected to the first street entrance

When I was in the fourth grade of elementary school, I had a red dot on the white of my left eye, and I had a foreign body feeling, which was very uncomfortable. After my mother's colleague Aunt Zhou saw it, she took me to the home of her neighbor Grandma Lan at night. Along the way, I was told not to talk much, not to say "thank you", not to look back at Lan Jiao. When I got to her house, the tall old man squeezed my hand, squeezed it vigorously, looked into my eyes again, and then blew his breath into my right nostril, and there were words in his mouth, while stuffing some smelly grass into his right nostril. That night, I walked from half the street to the west of the Solitaire Bridge, and the foreign body sensation in my eyes disappeared.

Lan's son, who works far away in Xinjiang, said that her kung fu had not been passed on to her son. She took several apprentices, and I knew some of the true kung fu, a Yuan brother who was a few years older than me. Grandma Lan is his aunt, and he is also a person who does not lose his temper easily. Neighbors all say that to practice these self-defense skills, they must be introverted and self-cultivated.
