Chapter 119 Tridacna (Part 2)

Uncle Ming said as he prepared the family meal. This "man-eating clam" is a creature that has been under the sea for thousands of years. What is the concept of thousands of years? Even if Emperor Qin and Han Wu had not died and had lived till now, they would not necessarily be as old as this old clam. Before slaughtering, one must first pay homage to the fisherman. This is a rule passed down from generation to generation among sea wolf fishermen. If one does not follow the regulations, who will If you don't get rid of it, it is said that it will damage your Yangshou.

The fat man lost no time in dispelling Uncle Ming's enthusiasm. He said that the boat boss Ruan Hei saw someone in the clam shell, but it was not necessarily a mermaid. There are many things that look like humans in the sea. Clams are spoken in places near lakes and seas in China. Most of the old dramas about the man-eating clam turned into a woman and then seduced a man. Later, an old fisherman splashed water on the clam, subdued it and captured it, which was very popular. Therefore, 80% of the man-eating clams are not mermaids, but the clam spirit. Trouble is hiding in it. Whoever pries her open, she will jump out and kiss whoever you are. Uncle Ming, please wipe that old face clean. Just wait for the kiss.

Uncle Ming knelt in front of the copper duck incense burner and prayed. He didn't care that the incense had been wiped out by the rain, but he still chanted religiously. When he heard the fat man's nonsense, he turned around and scolded: "You damn fat boy is blowing water again. We have done a lot of robbing tombs and exhuming corpses. Is it possible that we really believe in these gods and ghosts? Haven't you always said that this is some kind of superstition?" After saying that, he ignored the fat man and raised his hand to kill the man-eating clam. With a hook-edged scimitar, he kowtowed respectfully to the fisherman and recited a mantra out of thin air at sea.

When the fat man saw that Uncle Ming didn't believe it, he asked me and Shirley Yang to prove it for him. I said that I had never seen the kind of obscene drama where an old fisherman catches a young woman with a clam. This kind of drama is not suitable for the stage. It is just a fishing village on the seaside. It was only played during the time of raising the sea, and most of the actors were from the grass-stage troupe. The female actors had their faces covered with flowers, one arm covered a pot lid with a powder cloth on the other side, and they looked like chicken wings, even if they were playing clams. Now that I'm done, I'm catching and escaping with the man who plays the old fisherman. He's flirting and posing, which has a very bad impact. Moreover, there are many children in the audience...

Shirley Yang had never heard of the clam thing, and asked me curiously: "How can you understand it so clearly without seeing it? There are even children in the audience who know it, so how can the clam thing change into a woman?"

Just because I haven't seen it doesn't mean I don't understand it. I know a lot about things in the countryside. Before I joined the army, I had a sacred ideal, which was to go to the countryside and study the laws of class struggle in the countryside so that I could understand the future of the world revolution. At that time, the plan to encircle the cities from the countryside provided sufficient strategic basis. Why should the world revolution take the route of encircling the cities from the countryside? Because in our eyes, North America and Western Europe are the largest cities, and the dire straits in Asia, Africa, and Latin America are rural areas... But this is a bit far-fetched. Let’s talk about why the clam spirit turned into a woman. There used to be a snail girl by the Dongting Lake. There is a legend about a stupid boy who was so poor that he had only stupid strength left. He relied on fishing to support his blind old lady. She was often unable to open the pot because she was too poor.

Later, this silly boy caught a big field snail in Dongting Lake and raised it in a water tank at home. As a result, the big field snail became a spirit and turned into a charming and beautiful girl. He also gave the silly boy food and food. She gave him money, helped him clean and do housework, and took care of his mother. The snail spirit and the clam spirit were probably the same thing. The clam spirit fell in love with this silly fisherman and thought he was simple, kind, hard-working, brave, etc. Anyway, he was full of energy. It is a traditional virtue of the working people. In the end, she promised to marry him. Even a fool knew that she was willing to do this good thing. So the two of them really fell in love with each other, and they have been living together since then. I don’t know if children born from such families are freaks.

Shirley Yang smiled and said: "This seems to be a very beautiful folk legend, but I'm really surprised. When you tell it, it doesn't feel beautiful. Instead, it feels a bit ridiculous. Do you particularly like to ridicule beautiful things?"

I said, then you have wronged me again. Is the legend of the snail girl beautiful? Beauty is just an appearance, but what about the essence of things? Isn’t the essence behind the beautiful legend worthy of our deep thought? There are too many beautiful legends like the Snail Girl. Before liberation, ordinary people liked to listen to them. Why did they like to listen to them? Because the working people sweat and bleed in vain, the wealth they create in the end belongs to others. They have been working hard for generations, working hard in the cold and hungry, but in the end they always have to live a frugal life. There is a Even if you have a headache, fever, serious illness or minor calamity, you don’t dare to delay your work. If you slack off even a little bit, you will be hungry the next day. Who doesn’t want a good wife to fall from the sky? She is beautiful and virtuous, and it is best to be like a clam. Not only can she make rice, money, and national food stamps, she can give you whatever you want to eat, but the key is that this beautiful daughter-in-law has not yet returned to her natal family, and she is determined to live in poverty with the miserable people, so she can drive them away with a broom. Can't even drive them away.

So they are all willing to believe that these beautiful legends are true. In fact, they are all lies, naked lies. The ancient nobles wanted to use these lies to give the working people a seemingly bright future. Do it well and puke. Don’t cry tired when you are bleeding. Endure the poor days slowly, endure the hard days slowly, but you must be honest. You must not steal, rob, or rebel. Don’t doubt the lifestyle and family that God has arranged for you. Born, if you continue to live like this exhaustingly, there will definitely be a beautiful daughter-in-law transformed from a clam shell waiting for you in the future. You ask her what she looks like? Is the emperor's woman good enough? But the pink beauties from the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard can't compare to a thigh of this snail girl. The snail girl is not only beautiful in appearance, but also rich in wealth. She can let out the treasures in the Dragon Palace whenever she wants. , you only despise the rich and love the poor, so you are willing to compete with a stupid coolie like you, and lie to a fucking fool?

The fat man listened to my eloquent remarks and couldn't help but cheered: "That's so good, Commander Hu, you hit the nail on the head. In foreign fairy tales, in addition to the princess being the prince, most of them talk about the principle of being well-matched, but this kind of story about the snail girl is really poisonous." It’s too big. Chairman Mao said that there were thousands of households in the world. I said that a toad can still eat swan meat. We just need to dig out those old rice dumplings who deceive the working people with lies and let them know. Take me, Hu Hansan. Yes, sooner or later I have to spit it out!"

Shirley Yang was so angry with me that she lost her temper. After hearing that the fat man wanted to ask me to touch the Gold Captain, she had no choice but to remind me that I had already taken off the Gold Touching Talisman, so how could I do it again? In the future, all you have to do is do business in the United States.
