when I was young, I went to the county and city examination, which coincided with the Spring Festival. According to the old rules, on the day before the Spring Festival, all kinds of businessmen who do business should decorate their lanterns, sing and play, and perform in front of the government. This is called "acting in spring". On this day, I also followed my friends to watch the fun. There are too many people watching, and the government is packed. There were four officials in red in the court, two in the east and two in the west. I was young and didn't know what officials they were. I only heard a lot of noise, and the sound of drums and bombs was deafening. Suddenly, I saw an artist with a disheveled child, carrying a burden, coming forward, mumbling something. The noise of the crowd was like a flood, so I couldn't hear what he said clearly. I only saw a few officials in the class laughing and laughing there. Then, some civil servants in Tsing Yi shouted for artists to perform tricks. The artist agreed and asked, "What tricks?" After the officials in the hall exchanged views with each other, a petty official asked the artist what he was good at. The artist replied, "He is good at reversing the seasons of biology." The beadle reported back to the officials and came down after a while, ordering the artist to become a peach. The artist took off his clothes and put them on the basket, pretending to complain and saying, "Sir, what a fool! The hard ice hasn't melted yet, where are the peaches? What should I do if I don't change it and I'm afraid of the anger of these officials? " His son said, "Since father promised, how can he refuse?" The artist thought for a while and said, "I've considered maturity." There is still snow in early spring, how can there be peaches to pick on earth? Only if the flowers and trees in the Queen Mother's Garden don't wither all the year round, there may be peaches, and you must steal peaches from the sky. " His son said, "Alas! Is there a ladder to go up in the sky? " The artist said, "There are spells." So he opened the box, took out a bundle of rope, which was about dozens of feet long, sorted out the end of the rope, threw it into the air, and the rope stood upright in the air, as if something had caught it. In a short time, the rope was thrown higher and higher, and soon it reached into the clouds. After throwing the rope in the artist's hand, he said to his son, "Come here, son! I am old and weak, and my body is heavy and stupid. I need you to go to heaven. " Then he handed the lower end of the rope to his son and said, "Catch it and you can go to heaven." The son took the rope and looked embarrassed, complaining, "Father, you are so confused! Such a rope, want me to take it, climb to the top of Wan Li. If I climb to the middle and the rope breaks, I can't even find the bones! " The artist patted his son on the back and coaxed him, saying, "I have slipped my tongue and promised, and it's too late to regret it." Only please go there. You must not be afraid of suffering. If you steal peaches, the chief will give you a lot of money, and I will marry you a beautiful wife. " So the son reluctantly took the rope and circled up. When he moved his hand, he moved with it. Like a spider crawling along the silk, he gradually climbed to the sky, and the people below could no longer see him. After a long time, a peach, the size of a bowl, fell from the sky. The artist was very happy and quickly presented peaches to the court. Those officials in the class have been reading it for a long time, and they can't tell the truth from the truth. Suddenly, the rope fell to the ground, and the artist said in panic, "Oh, no! Someone in the sky cut my rope, how can my son get off! " After a while, something fell from the sky. When the artist saw it, it was his son's head. He lifted his head and cried, "My son must have been found by the gardener in the sky when he stole peaches. My son is finished!" " After a while, my son's foot fell from the sky; In a short time, my son's body fragments also fell off, and none of them were complete. The artist was so sad that he picked up the wreckage one by one, put it in a box and closed it, and said to everyone, "This is the only son my old man has. He used to follow me everywhere. Today, he was ordered by the chief executive to steal peaches from the sky. Unfortunately, he died so miserably! I want to give him a good burial. " So he went to class and knelt down and said, "stealing peaches for you killed my son!" If you have pity on me and help me bury my son, I will repay your kindness in the next life. " The four officials were surprised and scared, and each gave him a lot of silver. The artist took it and wrapped it in his waist pocket. He knocked on the lid of the box and said loudly, "BaBaer, why don't you come out and thank me for the money? When will you wait?" Suddenly, a disheveled child's head came out of the box cover and kowtowed to all the officials in the class. It turned out that he was the artist's son. This trick became so strange that I still remember it.
