A Fairy Tale of Snake
A child squat within adult sight alone on the ground, fiddle with living beings on the ground quietly.
Parents finished saying and got over at last, later, called out children, the child was unwilling to stand up. Then, mother goes over a bit angrily, should draw the child.
What are you doing? --My God! Snake! ! You play with a snake!
Mother draws the child at full speed, run away recklessly, the child is dragged away by her ignorantly, then look up at her, when turning round, sees father kills that multicoloured snake with the stone. The child seems to see the sight of the snake. Yes, the snake has lives, has eyes, then, there is sight. Its sight is broken, in child's sight looked back on. In this way, parents demonstrate a play which deprived the life in front of the child, perhaps, any parents will do so, however, in the child's eyes, saw a living object clearly demarcatedly, have turned into the death.
"Do you know snakes are a dangerous animal? It is poisonous, will grip people, will poison you to death! It is a cold-blooded animal, it has no emotion, it will not remember you are good, it will get angry at any time! "
The adult is educating children constantly, the child the innocent are accepting these some constantly repeated education.
The thing when being young, perhaps it is always ridiculous and funny, but this child grows up, perhaps, remain unchanged in reality and snake's general unsociable and eccentric and indifference. This is only perhaps.
The flagstone path, the wall of head of the horse, pale yellow street lamp; Wooden post, the ornamental engraving window, the screen wall where the powder is white. These, human civilization of facing straight when being young. I continue one's own legend in this environment of the ancient village of the South. Everybody has one's own legends, I think, it is the legend that the life all have it.
I sternly cool and unmoved in wall stood high to think, it separate, come me and external world. I can not move it, it has enclosed me. This was created by the people too. I think I confining than I strong organism such. At least, think like this when being young. Since seeing that snake is killed.
The snake has lives, is the living beings that the nature entrusted to too, it is mysterious, even magnificent, color that those even painting brushes are difficult to depict. People have a life too, color is not still so gorgeous as it, and people are massacring other lives constantly, but people occupy such most lofty status in the nature forever.
On summer vacation one year, I killed seven snakes close to my living environment because of remembering the adult's education. That is a strange summer night, unusually sultry, go out of the door, see that yellow black alternate snake lies on the side of door zigzagging. Then squat, go down, see quite a while such as it first, watch detailed detailed body its struggle, know, need, climb to where to go. Such a little snake is not so thick as my little finger of toe, estimate it is a little snake that hatched newly. I am looking at its a little bald dark brown eyes, half an oval head, and those extremely exquisite patterns Wanted to move it, thought of parents' education later, then, took tools, was facing toward its head, have struck and died it ruthlessly. --As a result, same dusk, similar position, I see big and small the same pattern but size alternate 6 snake, I have eliminated them. After killing them, look for a place to bury, kill to the last, the heart has been already trembling. --Ask oneself constantly, is it wrong to do? Why can they come constantly? Have they made an appointment to let me revenge?
Been reaching evening all the time, moving the bamboo bed to the courtyard to enjoy the coal with family, it is unable like falling asleep under the saw and looked ating of parents before. Because always think that snake will get on my bed, my body, they will come back to revenge, because they are the life
In flurried to fall asleep with fear, dream snake all. Various snakes, big and small, covers the sky and the earth, the one mouth catches up with me everywhere. I am surrounded by them, is chasing in a strange champaign alone, shout in the dream loudly, but can not emit the sound at all, the lodge is the snake wriggling everywhere. Go to by the water, want, go, wash face out of puff, stretch out one's hand, go down, ink become restless suddenly, hold the head of the large stretch of snake high In this way, one cold sweat cry oneself to wake up, wake up in dream, wait for parents discover tentacle and volume, it is a bolling hot skin.
"This child dew, maybe has caught a cold. " Mother is facing toward father low and mutter.
In memory, begin to sleep alone at five years old. And that a few days after time, the rare one and father sleep in a place. Because he was looking after that very night. Frightening and waking up in the dream constantly too, the cold sweat all over, is seizing father's hands, ten is meant and baked in deeply. Parents wonder this high fever came suddenly, big hot day, would catch a cold really? Lie prone and go up in the hospital on father's body feebly every day, high fever is returned not to go, the diet is unwilling to enter too. Coughing after high fever, children will most likely cough, but not so exaggerative as me. Step by step, from parotid gland to throat to the lung to the trachea to the bronchus Doctor and parents are familiar with, locking the brow will say to mother, you always get angry scarcely and hiddenly by oneself, the child of your family was innate and hot and scarce and overcast inside finally, drew blood and tested, the leucocyte did not exceed standard without once, it is obvious immunity is nearly zero, belong to more easily infected group. --I do not know the meaning of this words, think that needn't understand either. Because always think that it is my business to fall ill, it is but parents' business to cure the disease. As a child, what meaning was it did not know either this medical science was overcast and open. I had thinking all the time at that time, it is mother to be overcast, the male genital was father, but why was overcast mother, will it be scarce and overcast too? Certainly I do not have to ask, otherwise, I'm afraid that will become the laughing stock again like the fool. Then doctor, from Western medicine to to write a prescription for the patient traditional Chinese medicine, suggestion eat some more clear fire invigorate yin thing while being daily have a joke.
Does mother ask what are eaten?
The doctor says, for example, mung bean, white fungus, the lotus seeds, bullfrog is the best, make two water snakes peel and bone to fetch the meat to boil the porridge in the morning, don't forget to wrap up snake's bone in the gauze to throw into and boil.
Mother nod, call, I listen to snake word, make a scene, say, refuse on father immediately. Anyway, not going to drink water snake's porridge finally, because mother is afraid of snakes. My easy tone secretly, white fungus custard lotus seeds soup of congee with mung beans,etc. were nearly without cease at home from then on. Soup of mother's lotus seeds is made very conscientiously, still aftertaste till now. That originally cream-coloured lotus seeds, boiled into a general color of white jade, even that soup, all white like the cream. The sweet taste of the crystal sugar is just good too, tasty and refreshing, not oiliness. Hang the soup in the well water under the grape trellis and want to drink and fetch, more delicious. On the Dragon Boat Festival, wake up stretching oneself on that old carving bed greatly, can see mother uses the clean cloth cushion outside yarn account, a bunch of small Zongzi specially made for me is put above, each one is very little and long much. And two duck's eggs, two eggs, soup of a bowl of lotus seeds. She knows perfectly well I can not eat so many in any case, but so many is put at each meeting. Then, were gambolling at that time, washed hands and face at once, planned to eat.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, it gets hot, then the topic of the snake becomes many again. Catch people that snake make profit less, so snake can see often as a child. There are several households which catch the snake in the village, often go to the other places to catch snakes in full battle gearly, take village back to come snake that catch, at the gate of home in the courtyard a a classification of snake that very night, either kill or sell, some are also hung on the Chinese scholartree " publiclying expose " . Have a lot of villager run, watch the scene of bustle always at that time, I interest in snake heavy than thing any, so, often stare at those snakes alone remaining silent and sulky, see more carefully than everyone.
See so big a snake for the first time, it is a slightly dark snake. It is longer, thicker than the shoulder pole than the shoulder pole. It's a pity it has only struggled soon and draw the body into a straight line, ossified. The host yells regrettably, can not sell at a good price. Then straight to hang at wall it, go, play with other snake, say, come, kill snake fetch skin fetch gallbladder in a moment. Then, everybody's attention is transferred to elsewhere. I touch that enormous and incomparable snake to me alone, its pitch-black skin, on, like the mirror, the face that can nearly shine upon me out will come. --Yes, finally, the host takes more than two meters of long skins of this one off, make into the sample done to me. Certainly, under mother's fear, this slice of precious snakeskin disappears. It is said, I wanted to bring it to make a Chinese fiddle at that time.
The host is showing a most dangerous cobra to everybody. This snake rule extremely, round, also swim to scurry to think of biting people rope. Host want everybody from far a bit, because cobra's unusual snake, it can attack people voluntarily, can spray how far 's venom it will be one. Venom this enter eyes and mouthful can make people poison in the nasal cavity, and the toxicity of the cobra is more complicated, neural toxin has both toxin of heart and haemolysis and toxin, so the one that once hit it is poisonous, paralysis of limb, the cardiac muscle bleeds, necrosis, symptoms, follow it closely, even is all tormented by it all one's life. --So, thought as a child the cobra was the most terrific living beings. However, it is not unique, have also just encountered " chases and kills " of a little cobra ,That has just alarmed it having a rest in the grass on the road to study in the primary school, so has been running several hectometres all the time. It is believed that one's own running speed could enter the school record at that time. Even it is not known when the snake behind slips away. --Just, see really cobras, just such once by oneself. Zoo and catch snake people.
Snake I this lifetime loud legend most really. The snake because of sum one " The experience " ,Really too much. And even later on birth of the younger brother, I even think, that is my retribution of this lifetime. Because the younger brother was born on the last day in Year of the Snake, so, said even more, he is one " The snake " . He is struggling in mother's stomach, insists that was born in the Year of the Snake. December 29. So unique a birthday.
I am analyzing snakes constantly, analyze its personality, its composition, its everything. The South area, moist and moist, damp and hot in summer vacation time, the snake is apt to haunt. So, regard these dogged lives as one's own research object, it is one's own fun. I usually think the life is equal, only we understand them, unlikely to collide each other. The snake is my fairy tale, and my legend too. Thought so as a child at least. No matter which place does it get, want, go local zoo think reptiles, watch those call common people the cold-blooded snake. Read snake's table, antidote for snakebite. It seems a lot hobbies as a child were linked together. Like flowers and plants, will go a kind of some medical herbs, because of medical herbs, it is known which are involved in snake The ones that depended on me at that time are young and small and weak, perhaps I can not rescue a person's life alone, however, can tell him at least, in case snake bites the experience, how deal with promptly, extend, gets the larger time and space for one's own life. Teach them why go to destroy the snake venom in time, how to halt the snake venom to spread in time circulation, can point to corner flowers and plants of edge of a field too, what medicine is that, can conflict toxicity of snake spread in time, they are seen everywhere, however, common people should learn everywhere availably All is for the life.
We do not fight for with it, fight for with the life. The snake is a life too, people are lives too. Snake subordinate in people ask alive, people seek survival among the mouth of the snake. The harmony that can't be absolute forever between the living beings, everything, for that " survival of the fittest, the uncomfortable one is eliminated " . However, respect any life, don't massacre at will, the fairy tale world which seem perfect of each life composition, all right that this is not.
Have more willing to say " everything, cycle own cause and effect in this world " that sentence survive and eliminate that Is . Use compatriots' traditional attention, go for such an annotation explanatory note, no matter only thing or idealistic. I always think stubbornly, the thing which I assert, my reason.
So I think the snake is beautiful, I will go around all markets for a green blue and green snake greatly, for its jade green bright and beautiful color, slender and touching figure, docile and agreeable temper. If think of the snake a little more beautiful, then, the younger brother is so beautiful a snake. He is as fine and smooth as snake, calm and steady, and possess mysterious artistry.
Read each time, involve the snake, always can't help reading for several times more, from the inmature fairy tale, the magical popular legend arrives. From popular science, the legend to the Classic of Mountains and Rivers Everything always has special glamour, attract oneself to see. Because of the snake too, pay close attention to the life even more. Because pay close attention to the life, think even more it is better how to let the life exist. According to hobby from childhood, mother always thinks I will do a doctor after growing up. However, in fact I do not have.
I say to mother, I want to raise a piece of gold boa, it is special to come, when I am out, to accompany you. Does mother say, are you crazy? Then seem not so good as raising a dog. --I say the dog is not quiet, and dirty, more and more even more enervated than people the dog with too big at present dependence is. Not so good as snakes, calm and steady forever, silence is loyal. Mother has no language. --Certainly, this is a joke. First of all, the gold boa is not so easy to get, secondly, the climate here is not fit for it and survive. Instead of serving and losing the life for us for it, then I might as well let it grow up in the environment that it can adapt to happily more freely.
Have forgotten which film it is, I only remember I once adapted it for the novel, I remember forever a passage. That is two Buddhist monks of master and apprentice, the master worker is very old, the apprentice is just 8 years old. The apprentice ties the stone in the fish naughtily, the frog, on the body of the snake, then put back naturally. The master worker has tied a stone on his waist, is letting him tow the stone life after knowing. He can not stand, complains to the master worker tearfully. The master worker is smashing medicines, ask him: "Very heavy? " He answers: "Very heavy. " The master worker asks: "Feel a pain very much? " He answers: "Feel a pain very much. " The master worker asks again: "Untie? " He says: "Untie. " Then, the master worker has spoken the ensuing chapters: "You say fish, frog, snake ache tie? Feel a pain? " He answers with one's head low: "Ache, feel a pain. "
"OK, you go, solve them first, I help you to untie. If there is one that die among them, then your mind will tie a stone forever. " --The master worker says finally.
The little Buddhist monk found the fish finally, frog and snake, the fish are turning over the stomach in vain, death. When found snakes finally, it spat blood very much the same as people. Apprentice stress snake cry bitterly, because he fear stone all one's life in mind that. The master worker looks at him after the tree silently. The desire is grown and left persistently, make people harbour the murderous look persistently. --A lot of years later, the thing between a lot of human societies and mountain doors took place to the small Buddhist monk. Human desire, persistent, murderous look. Everything no matter quiet to repair or not quiet to build thing that can store in perhaps, just see how the mankind goes to control.
Those seven snakes that I killed for me repent, up to now. Because is a stone, tie on mind forever.
The life is equal, whether this is " cold-blooded " Snake. My fairy tale is that a snake is as lovely as people. Like reaching the mountain door of human society, reaching Buddhism of the mountain door, originally have no large distance, but has contained some persistent desires and murderous look, we become Buddha in the mountain door. Everybody is one's own Buddha. Life and life meet, even if we understand, dodge and tolerate, that should look at and look at it on an equal basis at least too. The fairy tale is ubiquitous, pay attention to Buddha, see how you excavate it, follows it, maintain it. Redeem, converted to, with introspecting, so wonderful course.
