On Tongjing Street, hometown, there are three very famous springs, namely Dahua Spring, Jinbo Spring and Yuli Spring. These three springs have a common feature, that is, they do not dry up all year round, and they are warm in winter and cool in summer, and the water quality is clear and crystalline, sweet and sweet. In particular, the Jade Liquid Spring is quite famous. This spring is surrounded by a "U"-shaped, several feet high cliffs, and the opening to the east, like a spring of jade liquid, emerges from the junction of the cliff and the surface, and the water is very strong, churning and endless. On top of the cliff is a platform naturally formed by a large area of sedimentary rock, on which a temple is built, surrounded by rolling hills and towering pines and cypresses, which is commonly known locally as the Great Temple.
In the early years, on the first and fifteenth day of each month, good men and women would come to the temple to ask for signatures, and people would come and go, incense was full of fire, and tribute such as flowers and peach crisps was continuous. Strange to say, in the past two days, there will be six or seven golden-winged and golden-scaled carp swimming under the spring water, each weighing about seven or eight pounds, not afraid of people, leisurely frolicking in the water and foraging. After these two days, they disappeared without a trace. Therefore, these large golden carp are revered by the local people as sacred fish and worshiped as gods.
The captain of the ghost stationed in the stronghold of Tongjing Street, on the waist of his military uniform, has a bronze identity plate marked with the Chinese character "Jintian", and when someone asked him what these two characters were pronounced, he replied that it was the same pronunciation as your Chinese, and also pronounced "Jintian". This little devil graduated from Waseda University, and because he spent a period of time in northeast China and dealt with Shandong people who crossed the Guandong, he knew a lot about the customs and customs of Shandong people, and it can be said that he is half a "China master". He is very different from other Japanese in terms of diet and living, and he has some gods, such as drinking large-leaf tea produced in China, commonly known as "big grab", and every time he takes troops out to sweep up, he will order the orderlies to go to Yuli Spring at midnight, use clay pots to fetch water, and must also use an earthen clay pot fired by Liu Hei Qijia in Xiwangou Village, southeast of Tongjing Street, to boil and brew tea.
One day, Yu Lantian, the puppet army commander, asked Captain Jin Tian flatteringly: "Taijun, you are well-informed and knowledgeable. There are several springs on Tongjing Street, and since I can remember, there are only golden-winged and gold-scaled carp in the jade liquid spring, where did they come from? Why do you come out on the first and fifteenth days of the first day of junior high school, and don't meet on normal days? And there's your tea..." Captain Kaneda touched Yin Danhu and gestured, "What a sacred fish!" The fish in the jade liquid spring are just a few ordinary larger carps. China's rivers and lakes are abundant. This famous dish is indispensable for you people to handle red and white happy events. ”
"The jade liquid spring leads to the underground dark river, and the dark river leads to the Yi River in the east. You Chinese the first and fifteenth days of the first year of the first year of the first year to come to the great temple to worship the gods and ghosts, and to carry offerings that can be eaten. After kneeling and prostrating, he came to drink water under the spring, and ate the food scraps were discarded in the spring, for a long time and regularly, this carp was very intelligent, and when the time came, it came out of the dark river. ”
Captain Jintian glanced at Yu Lantian proudly, and then showed an unfathomable expression, and continued: As for me using an earthen clay pot to boil this spring water to make tea, he, you don't understand! The heavenly machine must not be leaked! Hahaha..." Yu Lantian didn't believe Captain Jintian's statement, and after going home and his still somewhat learned women, after pondering it carefully, he was convinced again.
However, not long time passed, and the problem that Yu Lantian couldn't figure out came again. Since Captain Jintian broke this "mystery", Yu Lantian found that in the first and fifteenth days of the first day of the first year, the big carp in the jade liquid spring had not appeared again. Although fewer people come to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha than before, there are still many people who rush to the store to eat dry food and drink jade liquid spring water.
In this regard, Yu Lantian felt very strange, so he had to bite the bullet and consult Captain Jintian. After hearing Yu Lantian's doubts, Captain Jintian was uncharacteristic, with a gloomy face, the corners of his mouth pursed, and said mockingly: "You asked where is the big carp?" The problem with the sick man of East Asia is naivety! It's very simple, the Imperial Japanese Army is here, and no one dares to come on the first and fifteenth days of the first year! If you people have cut off incense and tribute, and there is no food, the big carp will naturally not show up! Your understanding? ”
Yu Lantian suddenly "muted the fire". But when I thought of this devil's alternative diet and living, I was very skeptical of Kaneda's statement, and even a childish idea once appeared: Japanese devils like to eat sashimi, and those few sacred fish can't be given "Mixi" by this old devil, Kaneda!
Later, every first day and fifteenth day of the first year, Yu Lantian still went to the jade liquid spring to take a look, chanting and hoping that the big carp with golden wings and golden scales would appear again...
