Sword Moon Lyrics

It seemed that this Taoist had probably died of hunger and cold. But upon closer inspection, it seemed that there was still some breath. The young man walked over slowly and said softly, "Taoist Master!" The Taoist slowly opened his eyes, but said nothing. The young man saw him open his eyes and his expression was calm, not as if he was freezing and dying. Immediately he took out a deerskin bag from his arms, which contained two thick steamed buns. They were dry food prepared by his mother for him at noon, but he had not eaten them because he came back early.

The bag has been kept in the cotton-padded jacket on the chest, and the steamed buns are still warm. Shi Feng took it with both hands and placed it in front of the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest was stunned, raised one palm, and nodded in salute, "Thank you." He reached out and grabbed the steamed bun, swallowed it in a few mouthfuls, and picked up two balls of snow on the ground and ate them together.

The young man looked up and saw that it was already noon, but the sky was still thick with clouds like lead, and it looked like it would snow again. The door of the Earth Temple was locked and he couldn't get in. If the Taoist priest kept sitting like this, he would definitely freeze into popsicles at dawn.

The young man said, "Taoist Master, if you don't mind the cold weather, you would like to go to my house to take shelter from the wind and snow." The Taoist priest smiled, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, then I won't bother you." After saying that, he stood up. Come, he is quite tall, his hands are empty, there is neither whisk nor talisman sword. The young man also saw some Taoist priests, all wearing Taoist crowns and crane cloaks, holding peach wood swords with dust whisks, and drawing talismans to cause mischief. The young man felt a little strange, but he didn't take it to heart.

The two walked in tandem to a house in the north of the village. There were three houses in a row from north to south, with red stone walls and a roof made of wooden boards sandwiching thatch. There was a large-leaf banyan tree in the front yard, and the top of the trunk had been covered with wood. It was heavily covered with snow.

As soon as the boy entered the courtyard, he shouted, "Mom, little sister, I'm back, look what I hit today." A clear child's voice said, "Brother is back." A little girl ran out from the west room, He looked about ten years old, and his features were pretty, but he was pitifully thin. Even though he was wrapped in a thick leather jacket, he was still very thin.

The young man put down the bamboo basket and pointed at the Taoist priest behind him, "It's freezing cold. This Taoist priest is at the Tutu Temple. I asked him to come to our house to take shelter from the wind and snow." The little girl said hurriedly, "Hello, Taoist priest. "The Taoist priest nodded.

At this time, there was a sound of female coughing in the room. After a while, a woman was heard saying, "It's Feng'er who's back. Are there any guests? Please come and sit in the room." The young man named Feng'er hurriedly led the Taoist priest into the middle room. , the furnishings inside are very simple, it can be said that the house has only four walls, a table, a bed, and a few wooden stools on the ground.

The room was dim, and a middle-aged woman of about forty years old was sitting next to the bed. She looked very similar to the little girl outside, but her bones were broken and she was leaning on the bed coughing repeatedly.

The Taoist priest made a salute and said, "People from the wilderness are wandering around and disturbing the female benefactor." The woman said hurriedly, "Taoist Master, please don't be polite. I am Shi Qin. This is my son Shi Feng. The one outside is his sister Shi." jasper."

At this time, Shi Biyu shouted happily in the courtyard, "Wow, brother, you have killed such a big wild wolf." Shi Qin was shocked when he heard this, "Feng'er, you encountered a wolf, are you okay? ?”

Shi Feng waved his hand, "Don't worry, mother, this wolf was half-dead from starvation. It was looking for food by the river. I chopped it to death with just three ounces of my axe. It didn't even touch my clothes." He said to the Taoist, "Tao Please sit still, I need to clean up this wolf, it will become stiff after a while, and the skin will not be repaired. "

Seeing that the room was not big and the other party was a female, the Taoist priest hurriedly said, "I will just sit under the eaves and enjoy the snow scenery." After saying that, he moved a wooden stool and sat down on the eaves.

Shi Feng was already busy in the yard. He first used a knife to cut the green wolf into a two-inch hole from the bridge of his nose. He used blowing to swell the green wolf's skin. Then he held a knife in each hand, with the left knife and the right knife. The knife cut, and the entire skin of the green wolf was peeled off in a flash of clouds and flowing water. Shi Biyu clapped her hands while looking at it, "Okay, it's more complete than the last one."

Shi Qin also moved a stool and sat on the eaves with the Taoist priest. The Taoist smiled and said, "Young master is not very old, but he is a good hunter." Shi Qin said, "It's hard for this child, the whole family depends on him. "The Taoist priest asked, "I don't know, dear husband..." Shi Qin sighed, "My late husband has been gone for ten years, and Biyu has never even seen his father."

The two of them were talking while watching the Shi Feng brothers and sisters clean up.

It turns out that Shi Feng's father is a very famous hunter in Hongshi Town with superb skills. Qin is the daughter of a private school teacher in the village, and she is also literate. The two grew up together since childhood. They were in love with each other and treated each other as guests after marriage. A year later, Shi Feng was born. His father was illiterate and just casually called the child Shitouzi. Shi Qin thought it was too tacky and changed his name to Shi Feng.

When life was going smoothly, suddenly there was a bolt from the blue. When Shi Feng was three years old, Shi Qin had just become pregnant with Shi Biyu. When Shi Feng's father was hunting in Duanlong Ridge, Dacang Mountain, he was besieged by several black bears and fell to the ground in a panic. He went into a deep valley and by the time he found it, he had already died.

When Shi Qin heard the bad news, she went over the mountains to find her husband's remains, regardless of her pregnancy. She accidentally fell and injured her left thigh, which left her disabled. Shi Qin's father had passed away a long time ago, and it was all thanks to Shi Feng's grandfather who was still here to help hold together the shattered family. When Shi Qin gave birth to Shi Biyu, he contracted lung disease again and coughed non-stop all year round. Shi Biyu only weighed three kilograms when she was born, and everyone said she couldn't feed her.

Mr. Shi is also a well-known hunter. Shi Feng has learned the skill of hunting from his grandfather since he was a child. The prey they hunted is enough for the family. Although Shi Qin cannot do heavy work, she can help with pottery at home, and the family can barely make ends meet. passable.

However, the good times did not last long. When Shi Feng was ten years old, his grandfather fell seriously ill and passed away. The burden of the family fell on this ten-year-old child. He boiled medicine for his mother, took care of his younger sister, and went hunting in the mountains to exchange for firewood, rice, oil and salt. Seeing that this family was really difficult and the children were sensible, the villagers often helped out. Even when they went hunting together, Shi Feng's share of the prey was no less than that of other adults.

While the two were talking, Shi Feng had cut the meat of the blue wolf one by one and hung it under the eaves. The blue wolf skin was slightly salted with coarse salt and spread flat in the west room. After Shi Biyu helped her brother clean up, she went to the west room to make pottery.

After talking for a while, Shi Qinshi was a little tired, apologized, and went back to her room to rest. The Taoist walked to the kitchen on the east side and saw Shi Feng preparing lunch.

The kitchen was not big, with a stove made of stones and a pile of dry firewood on the side. The Taoist took a glance and was slightly surprised.

Shi Feng was seen standing in front of the stove with two stove eyes on the left and right. There were also two chopping boards in front of him and a pile of herbs on the left. Shi Feng was holding a kitchen knife in his left hand and was slowly cutting a brown-yellow, cylindrical herb on the left chopping board. The Taoist recognized it as licorice, which is commonly used to relieve cough and asthma.
