Chapter 22: Tridacna (Part 2)

Uncle Ming said while preparing a family style. This "human-eating clam" is a creature under the sea for thousands of years. What does it mean to have thousands of years? Even if Qin Emperor and Han Wu were not dead, they have not lived until now, and they may not be as old as this clam is old. Before slaughtering, they naturally have to worship the fisherman first. This is a rule passed down from generation to generation by sea wolf fishermen. If they do not follow the rules of the regulations, no one can do it, and it is said that it will lose their life.

The fat man took the opportunity to dispel Uncle Ming's enthusiasm. He said that the boss of the boat Ruan Hei saw someone in the clam shell, but it was not necessarily a mermaid. There were too many things in the sea that looked like humans. There were old plays about clam spirits near the lakes and seas in China. Most of them were old clams turning into spells into women and seducing men. Later, an old fisherman splashed water and played with clams, subduing them and capturing them. It was so satisfying that there were 80% mermaids in this man-eating clam, but clam spirits hiding in it. Whoever pried her openly, she would jump out and kiss anyone. Uncle Ming, your old face should be clean, and wait for kissing.

Uncle Ming knelt in front of the copper duck incense burner and prayed. He didn't care that the incense thighs were wiped out by the rain, and he still whispered devoutly. When he heard the fat man talking nonsense, he turned his head and blamed him: "You fat man blow water again, we have done a lot of tomb robbers and corpses. Could it be that we really believe in these gods and ghosts? Haven't you always said that this is a mystery... superstition?" After that, he ignored the fat man, raised the hook blade scimitar that was about to slaughter the man-eating clam, and kowtowed respectfully to the fisherman out of thin air at the sea.

Seeing that Uncle Ming didn't believe it, the fat man asked Shirley Yang and I to prove it to him. I said I had never seen the obscene opera of an old fisherman catching clam spirits and young women. This kind of drama that cannot be played is only performed when fishing in the sea in the fishing village by the sea. Most of the actors are straw trotters. The female actors have a flower on their faces, and one arm is covered with a pink lid, which is striking like chicken wings. Even if they play clam spirits, they catch and run away with the man who plays the old fisherman, and their eyebrows are twitching, which has a very bad impact. And there are still many years of children in the audience...

Shirley Yang never heard of clam spirits, so he asked me curiously: "How can you understand so clearly if you haven't seen it? Even if there are children in the audience, how can clam spirits become women?"

I said I didn't see it, it doesn't mean I didn't understand it. I knew too much about the countryside. Before I joined the army, I had a sacred ideal, which was to go to the countryside to study the laws of rural class struggle, so as to provide sufficient strategic basis for the plan to encircle cities in the rural areas when carrying out the world revolution in the future. Why did the world revolution take the route of encircling cities in the countryside? Because in our eyes, North America and Western Europe are the largest cities, and those areas in Asia, Africa and Latin America are rural areas... But this matter is a bit too far-fetched, or why did the clam spirit become a woman? There was a legend about a snail girl by the Dongting Lake, saying that there was a fool who was poor and was so poor that he had only silly strength left. He relied on fishing to support him. Because he was too poor, he often couldn't get rid of the blame.

Later, the silly boy caught a big field snail in Dongting Lake and kept it in the water tank at home. As a result, the snail became a spirit, turning into a charming and beautiful girl. He gave the silly boy food and money, and helped him clean and do housework and take care of his mother. The snail and clam spirit were mostly all the same. The clam spirit fell in love with this silly fisherman and thought he was simple, kind, hardworking and brave. Anyway, he was full of traditional virtues of the working people. In the end, he promised to marry him. Even the fool knew that this good thing was willing, so the two of them really stared at me and they had to live together. From then on, they got together to live together. I don’t know if the children born in such families were freaks.

Shirley Yang smiled and said, "This seems to be a very beautiful folk legend, but I'm really surprised. Why don't you think it's beautiful when you say it? Instead, it feels ridiculous. Do you particularly like to ridicule beautiful things?"

I said, then you wronged me again. Is the legend of the snail girl beautiful? Beauty is just an appearance, but what about the essence of things? Is the essence behind the beautiful legend not worth our deep thinking? There are too many beautiful legends like the snail girl. Before liberation, the people like to listen to it, why do they like it? Because the working people are bleeding and sweating, and in the end the wealth they create is from others. They work diligently and busy with hunger and cold, but in the end they end up

We always have to live a life of frugality and frugality. We have a headache, fever, serious illness and minor disasters. We dare not delay our work. If we slacken, we will go hungry the next day. Whoever is suffering from life expects a good wife to fall from the sky. She is beautiful and virtuous. It is best to be like clam spirits, not only can they produce rice, money, and national food coupons, and they can change whatever they want to eat. The key is that this beautiful wife has no parents' home yet, and she is determined to live a poor life with a poor person, and she can't even drive away with a broom.

So they are all willing to believe that these beautiful legends are true. In fact, they are all lies, naked lies. In ancient times, the nobles of the princes and grandchildren wanted to give the working people a bright future that looks like they look like. Do it well. Don’t complain if you vomit blood. Slowly endure the poor days and endure the hard days. But you have to be honest, not steal, not rob, and not rebel, and don’t just doubt the lifestyle and family background that God has arranged for you. You are so tired and exhausted.

If you pass by, there will definitely be a beautiful wife who is transformed from a clam shell in the future. She is waiting for you in front of you. How do you look? The emperor's woman is good enough? But the red and pink beauty in the three palaces and six courtyards are still not as good as the thigh of the snail girl. The snail girl not only looks beautiful but also has a wealthy family. She will come out as soon as she wants to be a treasure in the Dragon Palace. She is thinking about wealth and loves poverty, and she is willing to compete with you, the silly boy, coolie, and cheat on him.

The fat man listened to my high argument and couldn't help but cheer, "It's so good that Commander Hu, it's a sharp tip. In addition to princesses and princes, most of the foreign fairy tales also talk about the principle of being a match. But the story of this kind of snail girl is too toxic. Chairman Mao said that the dirt was 1000-member Marquis back then, and I said that toads could still eat swan meat. We just wanted to dig out the old rice dumplings that deceived the working people with lies from the soil, so that they could know that if they took me Hu Hansan's, they would have to spit it out sooner or later!"
