Uzhumuqin, The Eagle in the Sky (short story)

There are red and bright Sari Lang flowers all over the field, all the way to the edge of the sky, connecting the scarlet sunset into a slight purple, the sky and the earth are red, and the woman's cheeks are also crimson, Qingler has not seen his wife's face so bright for a long time, he shouted: Woo, the lilies are blooming!

The woman poured a basket of cow dung onto the Lehrer cart and looked up and smiled at him, and the woman laughed so charmingly...... At this time, a herd of cattle appeared in the field of vision, two of them were fighting in the dark, their eyes were redder than the flowers on the ground and the clouds in the sky, and the low-hanging horns made a sound that the wind writhed the trees with a rattling sound. Qingler jumped out of the car and shouted at the two of them - why do you make such a big fuss, they are all a gacha, look up and don't look down to see you! But neither of the two yaks listened to the persuasion, you pushed me over, and I pushed over, kicking the grass out of the billowing dust. Zingler was still young at that time, stretched out his hand and grabbed the tail of the black busy ox, and with a riveting force, he strangled it on the head, and retreated a few steps, plowing a ravine on the ground, but this drag helped the yellow yak ox, so that the guy who was in the wind took advantage of the situation, and was about to turn the black ox on his back. At that moment, his Anda (brother) Huge came out of nowhere and said "I will help you", and the two of them each held a cow, and with a shout, the two oxen rolled aside. The woman hurriedly ran over to wipe the sweat of Zingele, wiped it and wiped it again, and said, Look at you two, you almost plucked the tail off the ox! The two men were amused, laughing like rain......

The woman was so young at that time, and Zingler could smell the youth in her, like a meadow full of Sari Lang in front of him......

Half a night did not continue the fire, the Mongolia bag was cold, Qingle sat up, his eyes fell on the picture frame of the Hana wall, the old man's eyes were not spent, in the photos full of pastes, he could find at a glance the black and white photo of Wuyinga combing two big braids, exactly the same as in the dream. The old man got off the ground, stretched out his hand to rub the woman's lily-like face, and spoke to her without saying a word. Qingle is indeed old, half a year ago, he accidentally fell off the other side when climbing the back of the horse, and his head was confused, and he always lost everything in his work, and he only remembered the past time, when he was young, he was as small as a needle nose He knew it clearly, but in recent years, it was as if it had been washed away by the river, and the footprints of elephants were forgotten.

The old man laboriously pushed open the bag door, and the morning light was also brightened. Outside the winter yurt was covered with white snow, and two eagles were circling in the gray-blue and cold sky, cruising, holding half of the bleak waning moon in their mouths, spitting it out, and flapping it aside with their wings. Judging from the two white spots under the left and right wings, they should be two black kites. Isn't there going to be some dignitary? The old man covered his eyes and looked again, but he heard the black kite whistling, "Huh-Ge-" "Hu-Ge-", how could the eagle speak? The old man listened to it again, yes, that's what the two eagles called, babbling, did it also know that it hadn't seen Anda for sixty years? His best partner when he was young, there will not be two Jiazi in life......

Think of the steppe sixty years ago, who doesn't know the names of Huge and Zingele? As the youngest and most vigorous wrestlers, they are the two eagles of Uzhumuqin. At that time, the twenties-year-old Zingler had already participated in hundreds of big and small wrestling competitions, never defeated, his neck was full of ribbons of honor, and Huge, who was two years older than him, was even more famous, having won the first prize in Naadam, a 1,024 wrestler in eastern Mongolia, and won a white and blue horse like "Wendugen Chagan" (the legendary steed of Genghis Khan). At that time, Qinggel was in Dongwuqi and Huge was in Xiwuqi, and people thought, if the two eagles of East and West Wuzhumuqin were allowed to fight, who would win and who would lose? Having said that, although the two have never played against each other in the official arena, it is out of Anda's friendship and deliberately avoided, but when the two eagles finally parted ways, they had a private earth-shattering battle, which is a later story.

When the smoke of the cow dung fire rose crookedly from the Mongolia bun, the old man Zingler was already riding on his horse. It was so cold, the sun froze, and it fell on the snow like a glass ballast, glowing with a faint blue shredded light. The old man and the jujube red horse under his crotch were covered with frost and snow, the jujube red horse walked with short steps, the old man held the reins horizontally, his back was straight, and several levels of wind could not blow, he didn't seem to think that he was riding a horse, the horse would be bumpy up and down, and the old man seemed to be panning in the air...... In the distance, I saw the lonely old elm tree on the hillside, and the branches were decorated with red, white, yellow and blue Hada, which Qinggele and Wuyinga had tied up one by one for the sacred tree for many years, which was a testimony of the love between the two.

After Uyinga died, he was left alone to be Hada

That spring, Uyinga was so sick that there was only a handful of bones left, and he gently lifted her in his arms with his big hands. The old Wuyinga was full of silver threads, and she put her arms around Zingler's neck and asked him to ride her around, and she wanted to see more of the grassland and see Uzhumuqin. Zingler felt sorry for his wife, so he held her with both hands on horseback, like a ball of snow about to melt in spring. Along the way, countless larks and larks seemed to be crying around their heads, and their ears were almost full. The woman said to the man in a voice the same as a grasshopper, "How nice, they sing for us." Tzingler nodded vigorously and said, "They're all in pairs." The woman said, "So are we." "After walking through five mountain beams, through nine red willow bushes, resting for a while on Shilizi Mountain, wading through a small river called Molegan and a blister called Chagan Nuoer, and then turning back, passing by the winter and summer camps of Gacha, where they were the four children and the gangs of cattle, horses, and sheep raised on this meadow. Speaking of which, among the four children, the eldest Qingqing is the most sensible and distressed by Eji Abba, although she is not her own; The rest of them were a year older than the other, and they chattered and played all day long, and the laughter and mischievous cries were still in the camp and could be heard.

Uyinga was afraid of the man's sour bribe, so Zingle laughed loudly and loudly, and said, "What is it to hold a woman, when Belgutai (Genghis Khan's younger brother, a famous fighter) was captured by the Taichi Vulti Division, and the Taichi Vulti were afraid that he would escape, so they tied him to a Lele car. In the dead of night, Belgutai took the Lele car and ran back to his camp, which is recorded in the "Secret History of Mongolia", do you say it's funny? The woman smiled. Speaking of which, my strength is not less than his, I was thirty years old at that time, a two-year-old camel was sick during the nomadic transfer of the production team, and no matter how Qingqing whipped it and fooled it with salt, it refused to walk, I was in a hurry, and reached out to pick it up, and threw it on the lele cart like a big child, but that time the two oxen pulling the cart were exhausted......"

Wu Yinga showed her white and neat teeth again, and when she was old, her teeth were still as white as jade, and after laughing for a while, she said to the man weakly, "Tell me the story of you and Huge smashing bones." ”

Qinggel thought about how to make women happy, so he cleared his throat - when he was a child, although Qinggele's home was in Dongwuqi, it was closer to Balagaar Gaole Commune in Xiwuqi, so the books he studied in Ba Commune became classmates from primary school to junior high school with Huge and Wuyinga. That was when he and Huge were in middle school, when a big pot of rice was in vogue, a three-year-old Su Bai cow fell into a puddle and broke his leg, and the commune specially pulled him to the school to improve the children's food, and more than 50 students had not seen meat for a long time, and they ate up a cow in one meal. Among the students, Huge and Qingele were tall and large, and they were also counted as the most eating, eating darkly and with their mouths full of oil, and the Mongolian people ate meat without sparing even a trace of tendons in the bones, which was smoother than a dog's gnaw, and a group of onlookers squatted on the grass and hummed. That's not all, Huge and Qinggel have to smash all the bones with bone marrow open and suck the white oil inside. In order to be able to succeed in front of more than a dozen female students, the two agreed to hold the bones in one hand and the fist in the other hand according to the traditional "beating bones" method of Uzhumuqin——— and no stones underneath, so they smashed the bones in the air vigorously. The funniest thing is in the back, that night after smashing all the cow bones, the referee "Huang Mao" seemed to have won the jackpot, splashing all over his head and face full of cow bone marrow, as if he had just crawled out of the core of the bones......

At the moment, Wuyin Gake didn't even have the strength to laugh, and when Qingle finished speaking, he had to laugh by himself until he laughed out of tears. His smile was faked, but the tears were shed for the woman, but he didn't want the woman to see it, so he turned his head and opened the fork: "Huge later went to Hohhot to be a boxer coach and became a big official...... "At that time, they also came to look for you and asked you to go, but you didn't go, did you?" As she spoke, the woman wrapped her hand around Zingler's neck and touched his face and horseman-like beard. She raised her eyes and looked at the man, as if she couldn't see enough, and said, "You and I are already very satisfied with guarding Uzhumuqin and Qingqing." ”

The man walked round and round with the woman in his arms, and at last came to the old elm tree, where the setting sun was setting outside the net fence behind the big elm tree, as if it had fallen inside, and the sunset shone through the dark crevices of the trees, and thousands of golden threads hung on the multicolored hada. The woman and the man said, "I'm going to tie you Hada again..."

Uyinga was on horseback, nestled in Tzingele's arms, and this time she was going to tie two white hada for the old elm. There were many small birds in the trees, and they did not dodge when they saw them, but still jumped and chirped, and they were all too familiar with these two people. Zingler lifted Uyinga high as if he were lifting another bird, which had drawn two white clouds of Hada into the chirping of the birds, and she carefully tied a big bow so that the wind would not blow the clouds down...... As if all her strength had been exhausted, the woman slumped into the man's broad arms as she curled up.

"I'll tie us together and never be apart again...... "The man kissed the woman on the forehead.

"Qinggele, let me sleep here, I want to see this old tree every day, and when I see it, I will see you......" "No, Wuyinga, let's go home, Qingqing and they are all back, boil milk tea at home and wait for the two of us to go back......"

But...... That day, Wuyinga stayed under the old tree after all, she always had a smile on her face, and closed her eyes in the crook of Qinggele's checkered arm...... How beautiful the grassland of Xilin Gol was, but the woman's eyes refused to open it anymore... At that time, the tears of Qinggel were younger and more surging than now, and they fell on the woman's face as white as the moonlight, and then rolled down, dripping onto the horse's back, and splashing into the grass......

The old man poured a sip of Lao Bai dry wine into his mouth, which was left over from the sacrifice to the old elm tree just now, "Wuyinga, last night I dreamed of you when you were young, by the way, and I also dreamed of Huge, and you wiped our sweat with a handkerchief." Two eagles circled in front of our house this morning, and called Huge's name, and it was called so," the old man cocked his beard and pouted like a bird's, and the appearance of "Hu-Ge-" "Hu-Ge-" made Uyinga, who was hiding in the snow, laugh, and could not help but stretch out his hand and beat him.

"Your hands are still soft." Zingler said with a frown.

"You melted the snow and ice......"

"Old Anda will never see each other again, just like the two eagles above his head, he can only see him in heaven......"

"Yes, Huge will come to see you, your Anda is on the way to East Uzhumuqin, I can hear his horses' hooves......"

When Uyinga said this, Zingler believed it, he took off his hat and pricked up his ears, hey, there was really the sound of horses' hooves "hi ho uh" in the direction of the west! He stood up, covered his eyes, and saw the galloping white horse, who could it be, the winter meadow was only a herd of cows, sheep and horses, and there were few human figures......

The horseman had been following the ruts in the direction of the winter camp, and when he caught a glimpse of the old elm tree and the old man on the hillside, he turned his horse's head and ran in this direction. On horseback was a tall and thin young man who had spread his wings and flew with the white horse, and the horse's hooves lifted clumps of snow and drowned him and the horse in it, as if the horse were not treading on the snow of Ujumuqin, but on the rolling sea. In the blink of an eye he was in front of him, but his head and face were obscured by hoarfrost, and he took off his hat at this moment. The old man was looking at him intently, and he was stunned for a moment, and he was right, he was Huge, and he was as beautiful as a horse when he was young! The old man shouted: "Aha (brother), do you still know me, I'm Qingele......"

"Tall and thin" jumped down from the horse, "What did you call me just now?" I call you Aha, Hugeanda, don't you remember, I am your brother (brother) Qinggele. "Oh," the tall and thin man scratched his ears and cheeks, and said, "How could I not remember Qingle, you are the most famous wrestler in Uzhumuqin." "Anda, your appearance hasn't changed at all, it's still the same as back then, and the 'Wendu Genchagan' under your crotch, I won't still be in a dream, right?" The tall and thin man smiled: "No, we Anda have finally met."

"Yes, you've been walking for a while," said the old man, clasping Huge's hand, "Come, I'll show you to Uyinga, and she's just talking about you." ”

"Where is Wuyinga too? Beautiful as a lily flower, Wuyinga ......"

"You remember what she looked like," Zingler patted the snow lightly under his feet, "and lo and behold, she's sleeping here." He turned back and said to Xue, "Lily, look who's coming, it's Huge!" My Anda is here, and he has really come to visit us. ”

Wuyinga smiled.

"I just said that there will be a lot of distinguished guests today, it's really happy, I'll go home and make milk tea for Anda." While the old man and his Huganda rode back and forth, the two black kites flew from nowhere, hanging like kites over their heads, and were led all the way back to the yurt. An old man and a young man tied their horses to the stake at the door, as if they had tied the string leading the eagle there, and the eagle stopped above the Mongolia bag and spread its wings motionless.

The "thin and tall" is really tall, and the cat bent over to get into the Mongolia bag door, in contrast, the old man of Qinggel only bowed his head, and the old man was still wondering, because he was old, he was a head shorter.

The old man wants to boil the sweetest pot of tea for Anda to drink, sit on the copper pot on the cow dung fire chamber of Wangwang, put butter, dried meat, milk skin, fried rice, stir-fry gently, a while of work, the scorched aroma is filled with the yurt, and then pour two thermos of milk tea into the pot, the yurt immediately added steaming, and then use the copper scoop up and down the waterfall, until the copper pot blooms a large milk tea flower, the milk tea flower is rolling with golden cream flowers, and then apply the snow-white Simedan like this, A pot of Uzhumuqin pot tea is considered to be boiled. The old man served Huge in an ebony bowl, while the young man was in front of the frame looking at the black-and-white and colour-coloured photographs.

Zingler pointed to one of the black-and-white photographs and said to Hugh, "Look, this is welcoming the 'children from Shanghai'

The photo of Naadam was held, and the two of us became famous in that boxing competition, can you still name a few partners next to you? "Thin and tall" nodded and said, "The one with long hair in the middle is called Huang Mao, and the one on the left is called Hu."

Sileng, the ...... on the right" "Hey, your memory is good, remember, we smashed the bones of the cow and burst out the bone marrow oil on the yellow hair..."

"Thin and tall" takes a closer look at Huge in the photo, he is really burly. "Which one is Qingqing?" A family photo came into view, and he asked the old man.

The old man hurriedly pointed again, "The tallest person in the back row is Qingqing, she should be in her twenties at that time, and she will be married." "It was a girl with long braids, high cheekbones and big eyes, and a smile like a flower, and she looked a little like Wuyinga." Qingqing was later admitted to the Mongolian Medical School, and she was the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination......" the old man said proudly.

"Who is this?" The young man asked again, pointing to the color photo next to him.

“..... I don't know this man. ”

"Isn't that a sunny day! It's just getting old, if I'm right. ”

'You say she's Qingqing?' The old man shook his head vigorously, "No, Qingqing is my child, and she is still young." "People get old," said "Tall and Thin," laughing, "just like the boxer Zingler, who was a great boy back then." ”

"Me? If you come two years later, I will happily go to see Wuyinga, just like when I married her," the old man stroked his beard, "My Huganda, we haven't seen each other since you went to Hohhot, and your family is okay?"

"It's all good." "Tall and thin" replied. "Why don't you ask me about the situation at home? The old man glared at Huge, "Haven't you thought about me after so many years of separation?"

"I must have thought about you, Huge has been thinking about you since he was alive."

"What did you say?" The old man grabbed the young man's shoulder and squeezed it tightly like a pair of pliers, "What did you just say...."

"Thin and tall" was at a loss for a while, he wanted to avoid this topic, but the old man Qingler chased after him: "Are you talking?"

"I said, I've been thinking about you......"

"You're a liar!" The old man was furious, "Do you think I didn't hear what you just said?" You even said that my Anda is dead! So who are you? Who the hell are you?" As he spoke, the old man picked up the burning stick, his eyes widened angrily, and he called at the "thin and tall", and the "thin and tall" hurriedly dodged, if he hadn't run so fast and grabbed the door, the old man would have beaten him to the ground.

At this moment, there was another white green horse in the stake outside the door, the old man chased the "liar" feet just stepped out of the threshold, and suddenly saw a descendant jump off the back of the white horse, which really startled him, and his mind was a little chaotic, and he looked at it again, and the offspring who got off the horse was greeting himself: "Excuse me, is this the home of the famous boxer Tzingele?" ”

"You are?" The old man was surprised.

"I'm your old classmate Huge! Don't you recognize me? ”

Wow! Here comes another Hugh! This Hugh was a little different from Pihug in that he was not very tall, but he was as strong as a thick stump.

This time the old man hesitated, but the "thick stump" hugged the old man first, buried his head deep in his shoulder, and fell into tears, and the tears like heavy rain instantly wet the old man's shoulders. At that time, the "thin and tall" did not go far, and he only scratched his head when he looked at the scene in front of him.

The latter was welcomed into the door, and the "thin and tall" also followed, this time it was lively, and there were two Huge in the house. The old man in Qingge couldn't care about chasing the "thin and tall" anymore, and hurriedly filled the "thick stump" with milk tea. This posterity is a moving true feeling, no one can shed tears for no reason, and he is worthy of the Huge in the photo, the same fat and healthy, a mold carved out of high cheekbones, thin eyes and big mouth, as soon as he sat down, the bed almost collapsed for him. Hou Sheng took the milk tea, puffed and blew two mouthfuls of hot air, the huge ebony tea bowl was like a small toy in the palm of his hand, he took a small sip of tea, tasted it carefully in his mouth, and the sweetness of the milk tea immediately rippled to his face.

"The milk tea here is so delicious." "Thick stump" exclaimed.

"I'm afraid you've been away from your hometown for too long." The old man humbled himself.

"Well, only the milk tea boiled in Wuzhu Muqin has the taste of hometown."

When the "thick stump" was drinking tea, the old man Qinggel kept looking at him with good eyes, and the more he looked at his nose, the more sour his nose became, "I just want to ask you, my Hugeanda, why didn't you come back to see me and Wuyinga earlier, do you still hate me......" "How can I hate you," Housheng shook his head in surprise, "You are my best Anda......" "No, don't look at you are tall and big, I think your heart is small, you tied a big pimple in your heart and left, and never came back, you hate me for marrying Wuyinga." ”

"Qinggel Dude, you can think so much about your good Anda yesterday, you must have misunderstood!"

"What the hell is going on here?" "Tall, thin" poked his head out, "I'd like to hear it." ”

"Two young lions are fighting each other, of course, for women, but it's all dusty past," the old man still stared at the "thick stump," "Anda, do you remember those pasts......"

…… More than 60 years ago, two young men fell in love with a girl together, and that was the story of me and Huge and Wuyinga. By the time I transferred to the commune of Balagar Gaole, Huge and Uyinga were in the third grade of primary school. Huge's Abba was the deputy secretary of the commune at the time, but he didn't have a bit of officialdom, Abba was usually very strict with him, and Wuyinga was a single parent since he was a child and was raised by Eji, so he was much more sensible than other girls and studied well. At that time, Huge had been the class leader, Wuyinga was a member of the study committee, and I was the representative of the cultural and sports class, so we were the best. In a blink of an eye, we half-grown children don't understand what love is, we just feel that we are willing to be together, and we miss it after a long time of separation.

One weekend before graduation, Huge approached Uyinga and me to go to town. At that time, there was no cinema or anything, only the supply and marketing cooperatives could go, and it happened that a batch of woolen headscarves made in Tianjin came to the counter, red checkered, very beautiful, and several women were buying. Huge asked Wuyinga if he liked it, and Wuyinga said that he liked it, so Huge discussed with the two of us to pool money to buy it, of course I was willing, but Wuyinga frowned and said, I still don't want it, it's too expensive. Hugh said, don't worry about this, buy it if you like. Anda is such a character, to say nothing. The three of them emptied their pockets and really scraped together enough money, and Wuyin Gaza put on a red turban to show me both of them. Lilies! I blurted out, yes, Uyinga in a white Mongolian robe with a bright red turban is simply a wild lily on the steppe. At that moment, a lightning bolt hit me, and I felt that the Wuyinga that had grown up all of a sudden was so beautiful, so beautiful that my breathing was uneven, and I ran outside the supply and marketing cooperatives and gasped for half a long time. After a while, Huge and Wuyinga jumped out in a row, and Huge shouted to me, "Go away, Qingele, we still have a little money, go to the photo studio to take pictures!"

The three teenagers happily took a group photo, but the little money left was only enough to wash a photo. Huge said, one is good, one shows its preciousness, the three of us will never be separated in the future, whoever wants to see the photo will come to me to see, just come to see me. How pure our friendship was then, if nothing happened later.

Soon after, we graduated and separated, Wuyinga went to work as a nursery in a temporary nursery in Qili, which was set up specifically to accommodate "children from Shanghai", and Huge and I returned to the commune to participate in animal husbandry work, although the three of us were not far away, and they rode fast horses to each other's work points for half a day, but because they were busy with production, there were not many opportunities to meet.

Thrown from school to the production team, dealing with livestock and pasture all day long, I felt lonely like never before, I thought about Wuyinga, I wanted to Huge, especially "Lily", no matter what I did, my mind was like her blooming on the grassland. Finally, there was a rainy day before the autumn grass, and I couldn't wait to run to Huge's place and ask him to visit Wuyinga with him.

The autumn rain poured us all through, Wuyinga saw Huge and my embarrassment crying and laughing, handed his white sheep towel to us to wipe the rain on our heads, Huge was not polite, took it and wiped it, I was embarrassed to use such a white towel, picked up a piece of cloth on the clothesline and wiped my face indiscriminately. Wu Yinga hurriedly snatched it down, and almost bent over with a smile: My old classmate, you use a sunny diaper! I scratched my nose in embarrassment.

Qingqing is the babbling baby girl in Wuyinga's arms. When she came, we almost gave her a wink, and she laughed as she taught her to call us Abagar (uncle). I took her little hand, and she liked the grassland, she could understand Mongolian, she liked it, she replied in Chinese, very well-behaved. Uyinga and I told us that the nursery was closing, that all the children had been adopted, and that she was going back to the animal husbandry team. What about Qingqing? I asked. This is my child, Uyinga giggled again: I want to take this little lamb home.

Your child? Huge and I were a little confused. yes, I adopted her! Uyinga pursed her lips, her voice smelling of sweet honey. You became an Eji at such a young age? Hugh asked in surprise. The aunts in the institute all praised me for being qualified for this little Eji, Wuyinga said proudly, and turned around to tease Qingqing: Hurry up and call Eji. Qingqing called her like a little lamb, and made us both laugh... "Lily" is really great, on the way back I told Huge, who rode silently and walked away without saying a word, as if thinking about something.

In those years, Naadam and Bokesai were many of the big and small on the grassland, and Huge and I would occasionally meet on the field, and when we were chatting, I would talk to him about Wuyinga, praising her heart as clean as spring water, praising her two big black and long braids, and her eyes were full of the smell of grass, especially the way she wore a red checkered scarf...... Are you in love with Wuyin Gara? Huge asked me suddenly. At that time, the word "love" was ashamed to say, especially the relationship between the three of us as old classmates. No, I'm just saying it, I say. That's good, it's good if it's not true...... Huge left such an inconsequential sentence.

In the early spring of the second year, Huge suddenly came to the production team to look for me, took out a bottle of grassland white from his pocket and put it on the grass, grabbed out a handful of sugar cubes and handed it to me, and said: Qinggele, I have something good to tell you, Anda and the two should celebrate! I sat cross-legged beside him and asked him anxiously: What is the good thing, say it quickly, let me be happy for you. Take a sip first!

He lifted the bottle and smacked it in half, wiped the bottle with his palm and handed it to me, and I raised my neck and dried off two fingers: Don't sell it, say my Aha quickly! Huge had sparkling eyes and said to me, "Do you know, Uyinga and I are getting engaged......

At that moment, I was shocked, and asked him with my mouth wide open: Who do you say you are talking to...... Lily and I are getting engaged, so bless us both! Huge repeated loudly. It was as if my head had been whipped by a whip, and the tip of the whip writhed like a snake in front of my eyes, making a buzzing sound: But, but I have never heard you say that you like Wuyinga? My lovely dear, in fact, Wuyinga and I have long had this meaning, but we are not yet ......

I didn't hear a word of what Huge said again, but I grabbed the door, got on my horse, and galloped aimlessly, and an inexplicable pain and sorrow overwhelmed me like a dark cloud in the sky...... Huge is right, in fact, I should have guessed that Huge and Wuyinga like each other, they sometimes look at each other inadvertently and look at each other differently, Anda, who is two years older than me, will definitely capture the heart of "Lily", he is more mature than me and has a city government than me, he is bold and fearless, and he has high ideals, these are beyond my reach...

Huge has gained love, and his career is in full swing.

In those years, he became more and more famous, won the first prize in the East Five League Fighting Competition, and won the "Wendugen Chagan"; went to the autonomous region to participate in the competition and won the first place, and was rated as a model worker; Even when he arrived in Beijing, even Chairman Mao received him. When Huge makes his appearance in the rematch, he will sing the long-key eulogy "Uriya" three times, which is the most glorious debut ceremony for the heavyweight wrestler.

But compared to him, I am like the stars at dawn. At this moment, it was rumored that he was going to be transferred to Hohhot

Coach Bock's message......

Why do all the magpies fall on the branches of a family?

To be honest, at that time I felt jealousy and resentment towards my own Anda, and even more of an inferiority complex, and I began to stay away from him, deliberately cutting off contact with him. Until one day, Uyinga came to me on horseback. When I saw her again, my heart was already mixed, and she and I leaned back against the old haystack, looking at the clouds like a flaming mountain in the sky and the golden sunset. Is Qingqing good? I looked lonely and asked her with a straw stick in my mouth. He is very good at riding horses, speaks Mongolian well, runs after sheep every day, and makes friends with five sheepdogs. Wuyinga couldn't stop laughing, and his face was overflowing with the happiness of doing Eji. Uyinga didn't come for me this time. Huge asked me to leave Qingqing with Eji and go to the city with him, I wouldn't do that, Qingqing was lost at such a young age

Parents, if I leave her again, she will become an orphaned lamb again, how pitiful, my heart hurts like a knife at the thought of leaving her...... Uyinga's eyes glistened with tears: Again, Qingele, don't you smell the sand? I feel like the wind is going to change, and it's going to be windier in the city. I don't understand what Uyinga said later, but I just think her words are correct.

My heart was still aching when I said goodbye to Wuyinga, and I kept looking at her back as she rode away. I thought about it all night, but I still twisted myself to find Huge. When Huge saw me pouring milk tea and taking dried fruits, contrary to his enthusiasm, I talked with a cold expression and explained to him directly. Huge's voice was like a city cadre: it was a bright future, and it was important to me and Wuyinga's future. But do you want to separate Wuyinga from Jingqing? Listen to me say Zingele, we all love Qingqing, but reality requires us to make a choice. Uyinga said that no one could separate her from Qingqing...... But no one can stop an eagle from flying farther, and Hugh frowned at me: What would you do if it were you? Me? Of course I'll stay, with Uyinga. I said it word for word.

The contradiction between Huge and Wuyinga arose and escalated. At that time, Huge was like an impatient horse, he couldn't understand Wuyinga's stubbornness, and Wuyinga couldn't dissuade him, so the two of them could only quarrel, and the engagement was repeatedly postponed. Uyinga was so broken that she often rode to me on horseback to tell me about the anguish in her heart. Once, when he happened to be bumped into by Huge, when the wolves were infested, he came to a meeting of our production team as a representative of the neighboring commune to discuss the wolf fighting. That time, Wuyinga was invited by me, and I told her to see Qingqing. I had saved up a lot of sugar cubes, fruits, and dried yogurt, and filled two pockets for Qingqing, and I was so happy that I ran around the camp. I was going to the river to fetch water, and she asked me, "Abbag, can I catch a car?" Of course, I gave her the reins and the whip, and she sat cross-legged in front of the chariot in a decent manner, and waved the bullwhip so loudly that Uyinga's eyes moistened at the sight of it. On the way back, Wuyinga and I were playing with Qingqing, and we were drenched in water by the waterwheel, and two adults and a child were playing together, laughing like a splash from the waterwheel. Can you be my Abba? Qingqing suddenly stopped, opened a pair of innocent eyes and asked me, I was stunned for a moment, looked at Wuyinga, and said, of course no problem, you are our daughter... At this moment I caught a glimpse of Huge, who saw us from afar, and he stopped on horseback, and waited until we came near, and his eyes were like fog, and he looked us up and down, and without saying a word, he rode away. Wuyinga wanted to call him, but opened his mouth and swallowed back. Why didn't Huge ignore us? Qingqing asked with a pout. There was a wolf behind the mountain, and Abagh was in a hurry to chase the wolf, and Uyinga said to Qingqing...... After that, Huganda began to be suspicious of me and Uyinga.

Not long after this, one day, two comrades wearing "four pockets" found our production team, and as soon as they met, they said, "Congratulations, young man!" I was scratching my head, and the captain of Bagen on the side said, the organization has just come to Qili to assess you, and I want to transfer you to the autonomous region Boke team as an assistant coach. As a teaching assistant? I was amazed. Thanks to Comrade Hug, who recommended you. One of the cadres wearing glasses said. I'm sorry, I just want to be a herder! I said to them, picked up the horsewhip and turned around and got out of the Mongolia bag. My Hugeanda, are you worried that Uyinga and I are like this? Then you are very wrong, although I also love Wuyinga deeply, but that love is gold, and there is no room for a little sand. Moreover, what I said to those two comrades was from my heart: I grew up on the grassland, I knew every low mountain, every river, even every grass, and all the cattle, horses, and sheep in Uzhumuqin, but I knew nothing about the city, and I would miss even an ant when I left here.....

It was a long time since this happened, and one day in late autumn, Huge came in a hurry and blocked me in the camp where the autumn grass was being harvested. He looked haggard: "Qingler, I want to have a good talk with you." I was a little puzzled, but I put down my belongings and walked with him to the red willow bushes next to me. I know that you still love Wuyinga, and she also likes you, Huge said, for the sake of Wuyinga, I will delay the matter of going to the city again and again, but I must not delay it any longer, I know that it is useless to say anything, today I will make a decision in the way of Boke, if you lose, don't get close to Wuyinga, if I lose, I will give Wuyinga to you, including my "Wendugen Chagan". I think he is really crazy, he has slandered not only the pure Uyinga, but also the friendship between the two of us. I said to him, "I don't want to be a white horse of yours, and I don't want to fight you for this ridiculous reason." But he didn't give up, and rushed up and grabbed me by the collar and tore at me, and of course I didn't show weakness, so I dragged him to the grass to fight.

Our actions summoned the working shepherds, and before they had time to boil a pot of tea, the crowd of onlookers was already three layers inside and three layers outside. Huge came with resentment, so he attacked at the beginning, he was bigger than me, and his legs were thicker than mine, and I would certainly not be able to fight him with my strength, but I was calmer than he was, and I could endure to deal with him. That day, neither of us had time to change into a wrestling suit, and as soon as he grabbed my shoulders and arms, he broke a gap, so that he could not grasp it solidly, and after a while, I saw that my Mongolia robe was already ragged like a dehaired camel, and the slightest movement was full of strips of cloth. People couldn't help laughing, I simply tore off the rags, Huge also threw off his clothes when he saw this, and the two of them went into battle shirtless, with their heads and shoulders crossed, and the dust and smoke raised by the four elephant legs were far away, like two yak oxen on the top frame...... Huge came to grab my belt, I bent down and tried to avoid his hand, he leaned forward again and showed me the flaw, I stuck his neck, so that he could not use his strength, the two of them were in a stalemate for a long time, and when he had time to pull his head, there was another attack...

On that day, Huge was eager to win, and I used the way of boiling the eagle to boil him, taking defense as an offense, solving his tricks, turning his strength, and letting his offensive slowly collapse. Boke is different from other forms of wrestling, can not grab the opponent's legs, can not kneel and fall, can only stumble under the feet, using the basic techniques of grabbing, pulling, pushing, pulling, and pressing the upper limbs, but in the competition between the two sides can evolve hundreds of movements, countless skills, and finally make the opponent's knee above any part of the ground is the winner. We stood like two mountains from morning to night, and neither of us was able to knock the other down. The surrounding grassland was almost trampled into sand, the sweat almost mixed with the mud, the sun above his head was also tired, yawning and falling down the mountain, but the onlookers were still not dispersed, and they were still excited to huddle with the stars in the sky to look at the two of us. At this time, Huge finally stopped being able to do so, and had to deal with me honestly. The moon rose, and the moon was so round that day, as if it had been specially illuminated for us, and Huge and I picked ourselves up again, and fell first outside the moon, then inside the moon, and after a dozen rounds, we were thrown out by the moon and fell under the moon......

The old man of Zalga had a large number of stars on his head to dissuade the two of us: You two are a good pair, if you can't do it, you can get together, right? But the eyes of the two bulls are still red, and they haven't smelled enough of each other's sweat and mud, so they can't stop there, so they have to wrap themselves on top of it......

Speaking of me and Huge's fight is really unforgettable, we didn't fall to the ground and shake the mountains, but also turned the grass of Uzhumuqin over, when did it finally fall, yes, we threw the stars one by one out of the sky, woke up the lark and lark, instead of the stars in the morning glow chirping all over the sky, at this time, Huge and I also ran out of tricks, I suddenly remembered an ancient tactic in the boxer - "Puller", that is the technique of four or two thousand pounds, and ended the fight with this trick, Huge was thrown to the ground by me......

While speaking, a whole pot of milk tea was drunk by the "thick stump", and the "thin and tall" only slipped a little crack. "Thick Stump" held the empty bowl, he licked the fried rice and jerky at the bottom of the bowl, and listened happily to the old man Qinggel talk about the past, without interjecting or arguing, as if he was hearing someone else's story.

"Zingele, you really can!" "Thin and tall" couldn't help but give the old man a thumbs up.

By the way, Huge said that he would give me "Wendugen Chagan" if he lost, so that early that morning, he pulled his ass and put his clothes on his shoulders and walked away without looking back, and I repeatedly called out to him from behind, but he ignored him...... How could I ask for his horse, and send a fast horse to return it to him early the next morning. Since Huge didn't win me, of course I could have dated Lily, but by then he and Uyinga had already broken up - it was Huge's suggestion, who could stop an eagle from flying far away. At this time I have to fight for my love, and I will not leave the opportunity to others again. I spent half a year of work to buy a special gift from the supply and marketing cooperatives Liwuyinga and Qingqing - semiconductors made in Shanghai, which are the freshest objects on the grassland.

Because it is Jingqing's hometown, Wuyinga is full of yearning for Shanghai, and always says that she will take her back to see it when she is very old, I remember her words, and I want her to hear the voice of "Shanghai" as soon as possible. I hurried to the house of Uyinga, where she was learning to sew with Eji, and making a lambskin robe for Qingqing to wear in winter, and was very happy to see me coming, and hurriedly called Qingqing over.

I pulled the antenna to the highest level, tried to adjust the knob to a frequency band, and a squeaky nursery rhyme came out...... Clear eyes

Holding it, don't mention how curious it was, I looked at the front and the back, bent on finding the person who was singing, and made Wuyinga laugh.

That evening, Eji and Qingqing went to milk the ewes, and Uyinga and I went for a walk by the Mozhigrad River, and the evening breeze blew on the hunting ground, and my mood was as hazy as the distant sky, as if I had been drunk. Finally, I plucked up the courage and said to her sincerely: Wuyinga, I want to be Qingqing's real Abba, do you agree? Wuyinga looked at me, her eyes sparkling like a river, she understood what I meant, took my hand, nodded vigorously at me, and said: Be Qingqing's Abba, you are more suitable than Huge.

What a blessing! That night, when I reluctantly said goodbye to my "lily", she stood in front of the Mongolia bag with Qingqing in her arms, watching me under the moon and stars, and I climbed a hill and stood on horseback and could see her star-like figure...... My tears flowed from West Ujumuqin to East Ujumuqin, but the horses' hooves were as cheerful as clouds in the night...... I wept and thought that if Huge really loved Wuyinga, he would be happy with this result, because I was his best Anda, and he should be relieved that I would take care of "Lily".

Huge was about to travel far away, and booked a ride on the day of the beginning of winter. Coincidentally, on the night before, there was a white-haired snowstorm in Uzhumuqin, and Wuyinga heard the weather forecast in advance, and was worried about Huge's travel. Hey, the snow is much more than what is said in semiconductors, and the whole world has become a chaotic pot of snow porridge. Xu was suffering from the wind and cold, Qingqing was sick, Eji and Wuyinga fed her Mongolian medicine, scrubbed her forehead and face with snow water, and used a heated salt bag to compress her feet, trying their best, but Qingqing still had a high fever that did not go away, her whole body was as hot as a fire, and she fainted for a while, and kept talking nonsense. It was night, the wind and snow were blocking the way, and it was impossible to distinguish anywhere, and Wuyinga and Eji were anxious, when the door of the felt room opened, and Huge came. Wuyinga looked at him in surprise, and Huge whispered, "I'm here to say goodbye to you, Eji, and Qingqing." After saying this, he pulled the sheepskin and was wrapped in Qingqing and got on the horse. Uyinga later said that the back of Hugezema disappearing into the snowy night was like an eagle...... It was really a coincidence, if Huge hadn't come in time, the doctor said that Qingqing would definitely burn into pneumonia. I didn't expect Huge to do a great deed before leaving......

It was already two days after Xueqing, and Wuyinga and I went to see Huge, thanking him for saving Qingqing by the way. The two of us rushed to his production team, but only "Wendugen Chagan" was left in the huge camp to gnaw on the snow, and the members said that he walked away before dawn because he missed the truck that came to pick him up because of the treatment of Qingqing.

The "thin and tall" stood up, and his head was about to go up to the pottery brain skylight of the Mongolia bag. "The Tale of Two Eagles and a Lily." He said with emotion.

At this time, the hearth fire reflected the hard face of the "thick stump", and he was still smiling, showing a mouthful of silver shining teeth.

"There's no resentment about what you just said, right?" "Thin and tall" asked the old man, and patted the "thick stump" on the shoulder, "Doesn't that sound like Comrade Huge!" ”

The old man Zingler struggled to come out of his memories, and while beating his back, he pulled out a mutilated photograph from behind the frame, sat back down by the fire, handed it to the "thick stump" Huge, and said:

"The pimple in my heart stems from this, after so many years, I didn't even feel at ease when Wuyinga left. Hugeanda still remembers it, the photo we took the year after you left. At that time, Jingqing was six or seven years old, and I really became her father, and one day, the horseback postman delivered this letter, which Qingqing opened and shouted to me: Abba, come and see, it's a photo of you and Eji! Wuyinga was still strange before, and when she got the photo, she cried, and I couldn't say a word when I saw it......

My Anda, you shouldn't have cut yourself out of the photos of three people, how did your eagle grow a sparrow's heart?

"Listen to me, Grandpa Zingele ......" The "thick stump" took the old man's hand at this time.

"What do you call me?" The old man looked at the person in front of him in a daze.

"I'll call you Grandpa Qingle," the tone of the afterlife in front of him changed, "Speaking of which, I have to talk to you about it, my name is also Qingele, and it was my grandfather who named me after you, this time you should know who I am." "Could it be...... Are you Hug'anda's grandson? The "thick stump" nodded vigorously.

"Oh, what the hell is going on?" The old man said with his beard shaking.

The "thin and tall" on the side took over: "Take a good look at who I am?" ”

"You stinky boy! Do you really think I'm old and confused? I've recognized you a long time ago, Qingqing's youngest son Huge, and you're also my name after Anda......" The old man glared at the "tall and thin" beard.

"Thin and tall" couldn't help but laugh.

Yesterday at Qingcheng Airport, Xiao Qinggel called Xiao Huge, saying that he was coming from Hohhot, first to Xiwuqi to worship Ao Bao, and then to Gacha to visit Grandpa Qinggele. It was Qingqing Eji's idea to ask Xiao Qinggel to pretend to be Hugeanda, in order to awaken the old man's memory. You must know that just a few days ago, the old man drove Qingqing, who had been with him all the time, away as a stranger, saying that he didn't recognize her, just like an old man who drove his children out of the group. No, Xiao Huge came to report the news in the morning, but what he didn't expect was that the old man was so confused that he couldn't even recognize his grandson......

"When you two say this, my head is as clear as the fog has cleared," the old man turned and asked Housheng carefully, "where is your grandfather, how is he?" ”

"Your Huganda he, he left years ago," said Housheng, digging through a paper bag from his backpack, "by the way, grandpa wants me to give this to you one day." "What's that?" The old man took it and opened it layer by layer to see, oh, it was the cut Hug......

"What I want to tell you is that in the story behind the photo, Grandpa Huge has only been in the city for a cold summer, and a group of people began to censor him day and night, and many comrades around him were affected. They pulled out the picture from his grandfather's notebook and asked who the person on it was. Grandpa Huge cut himself off in front of them and told them that they were the two people he hated the most, one was his fiancée and the other was his Anda, but his fiancée was robbed by Anda.... The investigation team called Uzhumuqin and confirmed Huge's grandfather's statement, so they didn't dig any deeper.....

“…… Is this true?" Old man Zingler's eyes widened.

Housheng nodded: "Grandpa Huge later picked it up from the trash can and secretly sent it to you and Wuyinga, that is your most precious memento......"

The old man's arm holding the photo trembled, and for a while the old man burst into tears.

"Grandpa Huge has another secret hidden in his heart, that is, the time he asked you to wrestle. Before this, Abba who was the deputy secretary of the commune had an accident, and Grandpa Huge had a bad premonition, he didn't want to drag down Wuyinga anymore, so Boke's final win or loss was already in his heart, but he couldn't fake it, Grandpa knew your temper, he wanted you to win clean, glorious, and convince the herdsmen, so that you could pursue Wuyinga without any worries....."

There was silence in the yurt for a moment, and the old man opened the wall of the stove and added a few pieces of cow dung to the stove, dumbing the squeaking fire and his own sobs.

Later, Grandpa Huge interrupted Boke for many years, suffered a lot, so that he fell into rheumatism, and did not return to the city until middle age, and redid Boke coach, but after he retired, he made old problems, and was bedridden for a while, and a proud eagle did not want the grassland to see what it looked like he had broken his wings, so he did not ..... My grandfather couldn't wrestle anymore when he was seriously ill, and among all the children and grandchildren, he said that I was most like him, so he taught me how to wrestle when I was six years old, and when I was sixteen years old, he sent me to a sports school. Now I'm just like your grandson, Little Huge, and I'm a well-known wrestler. But he never praised me when he was alive, and always said - my good grandson, I have long been experienced in a hundred battles when you are my age, and there were two eagles in the sky of Uzhumuqin at that time, one was Zingle and the other was Huge...... Until my grandfather was dying, he took my hand and said, when you grow up, you must visit Qingele and Wuyinga for me, I think of them. So, this time I came to my hometown just to fulfill my grandfather's last wish......"

"Hugeanda suffered, I blamed him......" The old man sighed, "But then again, if he wants to stay in Uzhumuqin, he won't have me and Wuyinga," the old man pursed his mouth, looked unhappy, turned around and smiled with tears in his eyes, and said to the young man, "Yes, I, Qinggele, will not be so stingy, if Anda and Wuyinga are together, I will be sad and jealous, but I will sincerely wish them, as long as Wuyinga is happy, Qinggele can do anything......"

Later, the old man used adhesive tape to patch the photo together bit by bit, and the people in the photo were complete, from left to right, Wuyinga, Huge, and Qinggere...... The old man looked at it again and again, and finally put the picture squarely on the frame, and said to the two juniors, "I'll just say, Huge will definitely come back to see our ......."

"Yes, grandpa also said that there is no unsolvable knot on the grassland......"

Looking out through the doors and windows, the three horses in front of the tethered stake were snorting suddenly, and the eagle in the sky was still parked there. After drinking the milk tea, the old man was sweating all over, "I want to take a bath, child, the stone in my heart has been lifted, and my body is much lighter, do you want to wash it together?" "Take a bath?" Hou Sheng looked at each other, "Grandpa, where are you going to take a bath?" ”

The old man pointed to the outside of the Mongolia bag: "Go outside, go to the snow, take a bath, I will cook a whole pot for the two of you and eat the meat by hand." "The afternoon sun is as gentle as a woman, but the cold wind is harder, and it is like a pike sting, and it hurts everywhere. The three of them rode away, and the eagle in the sky followed, and the invisible line was in the palm of the old man's hand. "Thin and tall" touched the scene, "Grandpa, don't you know, Xiaoqingle and I are still classmates of Qingcheng Sports School, not to mention, even the white green horses under our crotch are from a stallion farm in Wuzhumuqin, and they are all descendants of "Wendu Genchagan". The old man looked at the offspring with a long gaze like a horse pole, "How good, everything on the grassland must be passed down from generation to generation." ”

Turning over the hillside, there is a sunny and leeward snow nest in front of me, and it immediately does not reach the root of the thigh.

"Are you going to bathe in this snow?"

"Yes, Huganda and I used to bathe like this every winter, and I have been washing until now." The old man took off his cotton robe, took off his sheepskin trousers, and threw off his felt boots, and the snow in the nest was so clean, and the grains shone with diamonds, and they were as soft as sugar, and when they melted into his body, they became milky. Old Zingler's physique is no longer strong, but his chest is still broad, and he can run a carriage on it. He picked up a handful of snow and scrubbed his body, and his mouth kept roaring because of the cold irritation, as if he were an old bear, plopping and fishing in the icy water. The two descendants were infected, and they also stripped off their clothes one by one, they were really two green sticks, and they directly crushed the snow nest.

"It's so comfortable, I've never showered like this before!" "Thick stump" shivered and shouted excitedly.

"Grandpa Huge should have taught you a long time ago, my child, the boxer has to bathe in ice and snow, wrestle in the thorny field, and walk back to the wolf valley with his bare hands, so that he can experience the perseverance and courage of the boxer."

"Grandpa Qingele, I want to ask you about that technique." "What technique?" The old man was scrubbing his hair with snowballs, which were steaming hot.

"It's your last move that won Grandpa Hugh's 'Zandler'."

"You remember," said the old man of Qingle, "Speaking of this technique, it was still used by Duren Zhana (a famous fighter in the late Qing Dynasty), which was a real elephant in Uzhumuqin...... However, my child, this trick can only be practiced in actual combat. ”

"This ......" was embarrassed in the future.

"Don't worry, I want to compete with you, and call my grandson Xiao Huge to be the referee," the old man patted the muscles on his arms, "I haven't wrestled in years, and my legs are itchy." ”

"Can you ...... your age"

"What? Is there an age limit for Mongolia Bok? The old man cocked his beard.

It is better to be respectful than to obey fate, and the two descendants came out of the snow nest with the old man......

One old and one young fluttered in the snow. Before, some snow chips were making a small fuss, and then the snow and mist came to join in the fun, circling around the two of them like little Huge, and after a while, goose feathers and snow flew all over the sky. The old and young mistakenly thought that they tossed up the heavy snow, and later realized that it was really snowing, and the fluttering snow flakes quickly covered the heavens and the earth, but they couldn't cover the black kites in the sky, and they couldn't cover the wrestlers on the ground. The pebble-like body of the wrestler could not hold the snow at all, and even if it fell on it, it was quickly melted away, like falling on a hot and red-hot stove......

Dozens of rounds later, the old man used that trick "Puller", and as expected, the "thick stump" rolled and fell on the snow. The old man knew that the offspring had been faking falls, and so did he, and he had to take care of his juniors, otherwise the child whose flesh was still tender would have fallen a long time ago, he thought so......

"Grandpa Qingler's skills are not diminished back then!" The latter fell and hurt his buttocks, and screamed oops.

"Grandpa, is this technique of yours the legendary 'Puller'?"

The old man stretched out his hand to pull the latter up, panting heavily, "Silly boy, I haven't used that trick yet......."

At this time, the snow fell heavier, which was a bit overwhelming, but the black kite overhead still hovered. When the two descendants put on the clothes for the old man, the old man was raising his neck to look at the black kite in the snowy sky, and they seemed to be rising higher and higher.

"Son, have you heard the saying—in Xilin Gol, if you meet two Uzhumuqin men, one of them must be a wrestler," the wind and snow blew the old man's words trembling, "so from ancient times to the present day, Uzhumuqin has produced many famous warriors, like the stars in the sky, and the herdsmen named them after the bravest Arslen (lion), zana (elephant), Harchagai (eagle), and Xionghur (sea holly), and those who do not know it praise their strength and skill." No, no, it's just the canopy of a big tree with a thick trunk and roots growing underneath it......"

The latter looked at the old man reverently.

"So child, what I want to tell you two is that in fact, there is no 'Buckler' in Bokri, only courage, tolerance and love, and only a man who flies as high as an eagle and is as wide as a prairie is worthy of being a real wrestler..."

The voice and the snowflakes fell on the cold Uzhumuqin snow field. The two descendants raised their eyes in unison, looking at the sky of Uzhumuqin with the old man, and in the gap in the snow, the two black kites had gradually blurred and turned into two high black spots......
