Blind person Arab League splendid
grips along the river Lu Jia the batardeau village, as if must be more ancient than Shanghai, the house is the two-story building building which the bricks and stones build, on is spreading the uniform shining flagstone and the cobblestone. Past 2:00 pm, I the flagging which extends along the landing batardeau wharf walk toward, soon, then sees the well platform which an elephant stage puts up equally, on a pair of woman well platform is fetching water washes clothes. When I not understand what person mentions me to them to want to look for, two people as if are very actually clear I to look for anyone. And the age is slightly long a spot the woman to tell me like this:
“you must look the human calls Arab League splendidly, his ear is the wind is long, the point very much, perhaps our little while said the words he heard. There he definitely in the ancestral temple, you goes to look for him now and that's the end.”
she put out a hand to me to refer. I thought what she refers to was at present that ash house, the result she says not. She extended the finger, said to me:
“nao, is that one, two big columns, the entrance has stopped a tricycle.”what…
she said is terminus alley's that eight watchtowers, from here past little said that has hundred meter far. Such far, he can hear to us to speak, is how possibly a human? Old US newest CR-60 step listens also almost.
I thought suddenly is very mystical.
The ancestral temple is Lu Jiayan the village ancient and the abundant symbol, the upturned eave walks the angle, on the eave column also carves is meeting double geminate Longfeng and the lion tiger. The ancient engraves them for US, now they engraved the vicissitudes for the years. From finds at everywhere motley, is not difficult to imagine it to be in disrepair after many years, but the bearing still, certainly not declines the feeling, is only the idler are too many, appears somewhat disorderly. The idler is mainly old person and some belt baby's woman, but also has the few disabled people. Can see, now here has become the public place which in the village the person at ease gathers.
I have transferred a while first in the ancestral temple outside hall, inside then marches into the hall, inside sees has two tables of people to hit “the carriages and horses artillery” - the - one kind the folk playing card which is in vogue in the south, but also has table of people under Chinese chess. Although I am putting on simply, and can also say basic can seem real the Shanghai dialect, but my appearance receives all around person's gazing. I am sauntering, is peeping, the prospect can guess that recognizes Arab League splendidly. But the feeling is specious. Some hand is hanging oneself the bandage child, some 22 year-old appearance, he discovers in my hand to wear the wristwatch probably, a vertical tail along with me, wants to look at an outcome curiously. I take down the wristwatch to look to him that end I asked him Arab League splendidly in here. He said that in outside, was saying gets me to walk toward the outside entrance hall, at the same time asks me curiously:
“what splendidly do you look Arab League do?”
“heard that his ear very miraculous glow is?”
“your this did not know? Looks like you are not in our village the human.”After looking I nod, he immediately becomes mystically warns me, “to him do not say that you are not in our village the human, looked that he can listen.”Smiled, also said: “but, I think him certainly to be able.”
Outside arrives at the hall, about the child turns and looks, then gets me before a blind person, shouts loudly:
“Arab League splendid, comes, to test you, he is which family's person?”as soon as
this blind person I came here to note a moment ago, sits on the small backless stool, is holding the root walking stick, reveals a face to laugh foolishly, is not only the blind person evidently, but is also a fool likely. Couldn't I how also think that Loshan recommends to give me is unexpectedly such individual, also silly is also blind. This little while, he listened to the child saying that must test him, as if was precisely he waited for already long, received immediately laughs foolishly, a face waited for me “to open the mouth earnestly to speak”, made bewilderedly me, somewhat felt helpless for a while.
“speech, you, quick speech.”The child is urging me.
did “what say?”… “said anything to be possible casually.”My hesitation, the child is startled slightly startled urges me for the first time, “said quickly! You speak quickly!”
I thought that like this is not too good, probably we form a partnership to bully a blind person to resemble, therefore I want not to think, the tone which makes excuses by one kind to him said:
“you good ...
.Arab League splendid ...
..Hears your ear ..
The miraculous glow, I was come ...
I the words not to say anything, as soon as saw only Arab League splendid both hands to face suddenly airborne wields furiously, calls out:
“is not. He is not in our village the human.”
his sound is depressed, rolls likely from the wooden crate.
Said really, I do not have, therefore thought that although his hearing had how greatly, my Shanghai dialect is atypical, the words which and here person said says is Datong after all, actually had the minor difference. I even thought that changes into me, even if lets me close the eye, he Arab League splendid, including here anybody, so long as opens the mouth to speak, I can hear them am the Shanghai city person in the same old way, but is the countryside. This is an identical. Is this his original story? I am having doubts, the child already caused complications, made the matter for me to come. This child I discovered that is very mischievous, he saves thought that makes fun of Arab League splendidly, deceives him to guess that actually mistakenly - -
“ha, Arab League splendid, you, he was mistakenly in our village the human!”
“impossible ......”
“to be how impossible? He is I uncle who works in Beijing.”…
“is impossible!”
this chapter Arab League denies very much splendidly firmly, moreover very much is also angry - - is angry more and more, became nearly finally with clenched jaws looks like the crazy to manifest suddenly equally:
“is impossible! Is absolutely impossible! You ....
.You are the swindler! You deceive people! You deceive me! You ......You ......Your Wan Jia person ......Is the swindler! It is not the good thing! Deceives people thing! Swindler! Swindler! ......”
scolds is scolding, the face becomes pale pale, whole body convulsion which resembles with the convulsion. …
nearby the person sees this to encircle, a city person appearance's old man roars the child to roar equally likely is comforting him, but also has one side a woman to fake brandishes the palm of the hand threat to slap the child ear and the area around it, is also at the same time secret hints him with the Arab League splendid apology, the child does not would rather ground to come quickly with him to admit mistakes the apology. Then, with great difficulty only then lets Arab League be splendidly peaceful down.
all these in my opinion simply are much stranger. If were a moment ago I regards as him the fool, then the present should say that was he lets me changes is the fool, around on several minutes time, he who I saw, both likely child, and likely lunatic, was also laughable, and was pitiful, both were arbitrary, was also frail.
I felt that mystical is also weird.
