My hometown is in Huai’an Village under Qingming Mountain. This place is near the sea and has been frequently harassed by pirates in history. My grandfather said that in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the world was in chaos, and the red Mao Yi here was especially rampant. Once, the Flange robot’s boat came again, and my great-great-grandfather’s second uncle had bad luck and happened to run into it.
The Fronji pirate caught him and forced him to lead the way with firecrackers, and he led a team of pirates around in circles. The pirate later discovered that a fire hit him on the leg, and he rolled down the cliff with a scream, fell into the sea, and broke both legs. It was about the lives of the people in the village. He held a sigh of relief, paddling with both hands, and crawled to the shore.
Fortunately, his nephew Yun Sheng was fishing nearby that day, and he hurriedly rescued him. He reported the news, and died when he relaxed. Yun Sheng did not dare to delay, and rode a little donkey to the village, stupefied to bring the news back to the village before the arrival of the pirates. Hearing that the pirates were coming, everyone in the village panicked.
At this moment, the beggar who came to the village to beg for food ran to the chief and said he had a way.
The beggar came to the village to beg with a newborn baby girl three days ago. His clothes were ragged and his face was quite clean. The baby girl was drinking milk in a clear and transparent glass bottle, like Everyone in trouble. Whenever he goes to the door of a house, he speaks nicely in a gentle manner, and he even tells people fortune-telling, explaining a few sentences of Zhouyi is quite bluffing. The villagers looked at him pitifully, so they greeted him with a good word and gave him a bite from the bottom of the pot. Yun Shengniang gave birth to Yun Sheng’s little brother for only a few months, and when she saw the baby girl crying from hunger, she hugged it and fed it three or four meals. The beggar said there was a way, but no one believed it. If he has a way, he will be too poor to stutter?
The liar had no choice, and asked him: “What can you do?”
The beggar said that he knew a big locust tree at the foot of Qingming Mountain There is a fairy hole under the tree, everyone can take dry food and hide there.
The lichang laughed angrily. With a few rocks and grasses in Qingming Mountain, can a foreign beggar be more familiar than the villagers who have been here for generations? They came and went and didn’t see any holes, so why did he see them?
The beggar was so anxious that he scratched his head, and Yun Sheng and a few others followed him. As a result, the vines were pulled apart under the big locust tree and there was really a cave. Everyone was taken aback. Having lived in Huai’an Village for more than 20 years, they had never seen this cave. Several people from Yunsheng got in and saw that the hole was dry and light, and it could indeed hide people.
The beggar said that he had been here, and it was still deep inside, more than enough to hide a villager. Time was urgent, Yunsheng and the others ran back to the village on a sprint, and shouted “Come on” at the entrance of the village. The villagers were already waiting at the entrance of the village with big bags and small bags in panic. Hearing this, they dragged their children and daughters, led sheep and chickens, and ran wildly with them.
Later, my grandfather told me that fortunately, he escaped in time, and it didn’t take long for the Flange robot toYun Sheng crawled out of the bottle in a panic. Before he could react, his body became bigger with a “pop”, and he fell beside the “beggar” with a “pop”.
“Beggar” raised his eyebrows and smiled: “Yun Sheng, why did you come out?”
Yun Sheng nodded and stared at his hand Bottle. The bottle is transparent and flawless, and has a slender mouth. There is a lot of vegetation in the bottle, and when you look closely at the mist, there is always light. There are hundreds of black ants crawling inside. Some got into tiny wooden houses, some climbed up small mounds, some carried small ants on their backs, and some carried rice grains and straws. Yun Sheng became more startled as he watched, grabbing the bottle and taking a closer look. This time he saw a familiar small mound on the side of the “maize field” and his own “house”. A big ant was playing with a small ant at the door. It should be Yunsheng’s mother and little brother. There is a brown grasshopper tied to a wooden pole next to it, which should be a family cow.
Yun Sheng said “Ah” and trembled all over. Ghost uncle ghost story.
“Beggar” hurriedly took back the bottle in his hand: “Be careful, don’t take it when your hands are shaking.”
Yun Sheng pointed at him , “You, you, you” couldn’t speak for a long time.
“Beggar” smiled and said, “You have seen it, it’s okay to tell you. This bottle is a magic weapon from my ancestors. It is called’Sumi Bottle’. It can be changed when you put it in. It’s very small. I used it as my baby’s milk bottle before. It can hold a lot of milk, but unfortunately in troubled times, I can’t ask for much.”
Yun Sheng wanted to speak well, but She opened her mouth and her teeth trembled. “Well, how are you?”
“Beggar” said: “She is fine, I entrusted it to my sister-in-law.”

Yun Sheng pointed to the bottle: “In the past two years, we will live in it? You will always take us?”
“Beggar” Said: “It is not safe to be buried under a tree. It is hard to guarantee that it will be washed away by the flood and the wild beasts. I can still take it on my body to rest assured. I am not that easy to die. The bottle is here, and the bottle is lost and I will die.”
Yun Sheng felt a little bit, but didn’t know what to say. When he arrived at the town fair, the “beggar” invited him to dinner. Yun Sheng said that he still wanted to go back and tell everyone that the “beggar” also nodded, and said to Yun Sheng with the mouth of the bottle, “Sume mustard in Tibet”, Yun Sheng was sucked in.
Back in the bottle, there is still a long narrow stone wall overgrown with weeds. Yun Sheng felt the stone wall and jumped suddenly, as if he had a big dream. He didn’t stop breathing, hurried back to the village, and told the villagers what he had seen outside.
He was knocking on a cane on the head of the dragon, and scolded him for dreaming and fascinated. Yun Sheng was not convinced, and took Yang Gen, Shui Gen and other friends out of the cave to see. At the entrance of the cave and seeing the outside world with their own eyes, several people were scared.It is true that the place where hundreds of them live is a bottle in the hands of others. The “Beggar” was carrying a firecracker, aiming on the side of the fishing boat. Seeing movement from the bottle in their chest, they looked down and drank: “Stay for a while! Go back.”
Yang Gen and the others retracted their heads and did not dare to come out. Yun Sheng went back to think about it for a few days, and told his mother that he wanted to go out and kill the pirates, and he took out a bottle of 30 catties of pancakes and said goodbye to the “beggar”.
Later, Yun Sheng really joined the army, killed a dozen pirates, and became a thousand households. He saw “Sumi Bottle” again, four years later. At that time he had been captured by the pirates and locked up under the deck of the Flange robot.
One morning, when he was scrubbed with a whip to scrub the deck, he saw a crew member leaning on the mast, holding the bottle, and looking at it with a look of the most important thing. He is black-haired and white-skinned, with only a little green eyes, like a mixed-race Japanese. Yun Sheng didn’t recognize this hired worker, but he could feel at ease if he knew that a villager was still guarding him before he died.
Yun Sheng listened to several veterans who were also locked up here saying that the green-eyed Lao Xu was not a bad person, but an undercover agent, his own. It was he who delivered the message so that they were not attacked and wiped out by the army. It was also he who quietly delivered food and water when the pirates were neither eating nor drinking and everyone was thirsty to drink each other’s urine.
Two months later, the pirate heard that the group of people who had come ashore had new young and strong prisoners, and was about to kill half of the people at the bottom of the ship. Lao Xu confided in the news that he was found and ran away. Before he could jump out of the sea, he was beaten to death by pirates. The bottle fell to the ground, the mouth of the bottle cracked, and thousands of black ants emerged from the bottle and stood up and became human.
At this time, the setting sun was completely dark and the pirates were almost scared to death. The villagers fell here all of a sudden from the blessed nest, and were pointed at by many firecrackers and knives, which also scared their souls.
Yun Sheng yelled through the iron fence: “You have lived enough to be a god in the past few years. Now the bottle that shelters us is broken, and the benefactor is dead. You still have to wait in a daze. Are you slaughtered?” The pirate hit Yun Sheng in the leg with a blunder.
There was a commotion in the crowd, and many people cried out. The chief raised his hand to tell everyone to be quiet, and stepped forward to talk to the pirate leader in a pleasant manner, saying that the bottle was a treasure, with vast fertile soil, a full warehouse of rice, and an endless supply. Upon hearing this, the pirate asked the villagers to lead his men in. The elder’s grandson volunteered to bring four pirates into the bottle.
Soon they came out, and the four pirates were so excited that they told the boss about the grand scene inside. The little boss’s heart was also itchy and asked a small team to follow him in. After entering, Yun Sheng suddenly motioned to give him the bottle. Before the pirates could stop him, Yun Sheng’s younger brother grabbed the bottle and handed it over. Yun Sheng took the bottle to the pirate and shouted “Summita in the Tibetan”!
PiratesZi all inhaled, Yun Sheng picked up their dropped flashlights on the ground to shine, black ants were crawling in the bottle in a panic. He tore a piece of cloth from his trouser legs, plugged the broken bottle, and shouted: “Bring things and smash them to death!”
The villagers took the ammunition from the red cannon. A shell filled with iron and stone was lifted out of the box. Yunsheng laid the bottle horizontally on the ground, and everyone lifted the cannonball directly above the bottle.
The Xumi bottle was smashed to pieces in an instant, and a stream of blood spurted out from under the stone.
Later, the whole village went back to Huai’an village to plant the land, watch the sky and eat. There are still many people’s names written on the walls of the ancestral hall, including Yun Sheng and his younger brother. .
In the ancestral hall, beside the ancestor’s spirit plate, there is a non-character spirit plate and a bottle restored with countless broken glass pieces.
I heard this story when I was very young, and I saw it in “Taiping Guangji” a long time later: Tang Zhenyuan, in the city of Yangzhou, some people called themselves Hu Meier, A glass bottle begging, hundreds of thousands of dollars into the bottle is as big as a millet, and cattle and horses are as big as a mosquito and fly. When the tax official tried, he put dozens of light goods escorted by the tax official into bottles and disappeared.
Maybe the Sumi bottle in Huai’an Village is just such a bottle with space spells.
