In my hometown in the countryside of northern Sichuan, it is called an act of "playing with fire", which is called "playing with fire".
It is said that it was ignited by throwing fireworks.
"Don't play with fire!" Today, when I went back to my wife's cousin's house to eat shaved pig soup, I saw a large lump burned in front of my father-in-law's house, like a black dog skin plaster on the ground, which was very ugly, and immediately reminded me of a sentence my mother warned me when I was a child.
When I was a child, every winter, my mother would tell me very harshly: "Don't play with fire, don't wet the bed." ”
This place can't stand a spark of fireworks.
Before, I have already written about the embarrassment of bedwetting when I was a child, and I will not repeat it. In my memory when I was a child, the bottom line that my parents couldn't touch in winter, in addition to not wetting the bed, was absolutely not to "play with fire".
For children who can't understand words, adults use this sentence to tell them that it's not good to play with fire, and for children who can understand words, it is naturally intimidating and threatening.
However, the more things that cannot be touched, there are children who prefer to work against their parents. Either they set wildfires on fire, or they burned their own mosquito nets, and even children who did stupid things like setting fire to their own houses. Therefore, there are often children who are "educated" by their parents with sticks and sticks, and even toe spindles, and they can always hear the cries of their friends. Perhaps this is what philosophers say that "growth comes at a cost".
I remember one time, our neighbor next door and my little friend Sha Niu Wa'er, it seemed that his parents had provoked him, and he took revenge on his parents and ran to light the straw pile used to feed the cattle in the winter.
It was a dry winter, the wind helped the fire, the fire borrowed the wind power, the two or three zhang high rice incense pile, suddenly became a huge fireball of smoke, whistling and burning, I saw the villagers in groups, whining and carrying buckets, carrying pots and scooping water to put out the fire.
That's what the straw piles I saw when I was a kid looked like this.
The fire was extinguished, but in the process of extinguishing the fire, the faces of several families near the straw pile turned yellow, and they kept shouting: "God forbid, God forbid!"
"Hear no, the sand cow baby is playing with fire and "eating bamboo shoots and fried meat" (slices of bamboo)!" Whenever I hear this sound of others being beaten, parents seize the opportunity to educate or warn their dolls in a timely manner, not only will they be beaten, but also very dangerous.
The fire not only burned thousands of catties of straw that the production team fed to the cattle, but also burned a large water melon tree as a pile of rice incense.
Because Sha Niuwa's parents are popular, and his father is the scorekeeper of the production team, some people saw that the fire was set by Sha Niuwa, and they didn't report it.
Sha Niuwa didn't expect such serious consequences before setting the fire, and when he saw that the fire was burning, he was so frightened that he fled and didn't dare to go home for three days. However, his parents resolutely refused to let him go, and finally the whole family of six or seven people went out to find him out of a cave and arrest him.
"Look, it's his bastard. "A few days ago, when I was eating pig-killing rice at my father-in-law's house, I heard that a senior who had been the deputy head of the village and was now retired pointed to a young man in his twenties and said, "Fifteen years ago, I asked the two brothers to help me herd the sheep, and specifically told them not to play with fire, but they didn't listen. At that time, I was in charge of safety, and I was sentenced to arson according to the loss, and in the end, I was only fined 120,000 yuan through dredging. Alas!"
I saw the young man smiling awkwardly, and felt that this old-timer was very kind, and if he refused to pay, this young man's parents would not be able to pay for the bankruptcy, and they would have to bear legal responsibility.
Last year, also this season, I helped the fire department of Yunnan Province write a commentary on a fire prevention propaganda feature film, and saw that there were many tragedies caused by graves, cigarette butts, firecrackers, and deliberate arson.
Words such as self-immolation and self-incrimination are derived from profound lessons, and they are also very good diplomatic rhetoric used to warn other countries. I also advise those parents with children to warn their children not to "play with fire" at any time, it is like playing with electricity, it is dangerous.
