Like a game

A small piece of farmland ditch West Road, Xiangyang leeward sides, Lin Gou, fertile soil and water, is slightly lower than elsewhere, so named after the West small wa.
Xi Xiao wa numerous hidden secret, the temptation to our children go there to play and quest -- from the ridge with a wet mud toad, soft ridge cross party after showing a large family of ants DR REBORN, there in the grass mating butterfly, dragonfly mating in the air, in the sunlight shining halo around the people run round in circles little gnats, snake left in the sand on a thin grey Periostracum serpentis......
Xi Xiao wa grass lush grass, in random search, you can find good weed. Just as the discovery of the new continent, we harvested, and friends to share. In practice, we also know that different weeds can eat and delicious place is different, some in the roots, and some in the stems, others in the leaf.
Some weeds can not eat, can't even touch. The ridge under several tombs, if not for the above a few plexus axillaris, almost can not easily be found. The tomb of surrounding a grass, green leaves as transparent round buttons, the middle with two holes, far look like flowers, known as "the dead buckle", vivid, is be worthy of the name. For "dead buckle", we tried to avoid, lest touch of evil. This kind of grass livestock don't like eating, and no one dared to touch, so grown very lush.
In the small West Wa and Chinese herbal medicine. Leaf blade abaxially pale grass, like wild grass, is with extreme ease of Chinese herbal medicines, if the cat down, not the small West WA, can be collected with a big basket, go home after drying, can make money. There is a kind of grass, a crush it stems or leaves, will flow out sticky similar to goats'milk juice. We called it "goats'milk food". The weeds growing in the ditch slope, hiding in the bushes in the home, mining, the pig is very fond of. However, these weeds have their own value in the western small wa. They have their own name, full of my childhood dream, let this not rich hometown with vivid color Laser Hair Removal.
People found in agricultural production, Xi Xiao wa suitable species of sweet potato. Winter, He Dagu home neighbors will close the back Kang Kang out half of the transcript, with wooden partitions, the middle filled with soil, every day watering can spray, fire temperature make sweet potato seedlings, long purple stems, leaves and clusters of green is crowded with. Spring temperature up, how will these sweet potato seedling aunt moved to West small wa. Small West Wa is a slope, can't hold much water, every flood hit, on both sides of the ditch will play a role, help to release flood waters. So sweet potato can always harvest. Our children are always looking forward to eat sweet potato. Sweet potato vine with land long, covered the furrow, and have no place to stay. We while adults didn't notice, slipped into the small West WA, pushing seedling, pulled out of a tree, a bunch of pink of sweet potato show out, wipe the skin, with sweet potato, bite, sweet taste better than grass, eat our mouth to take the white pulp.
Small West Wa is more suitable for the ma. Ma long when our children is taller than some of the leaves, also become more plump up, like a open the palm of your hand. Ma opened a small yellow flower, obscure, also not sweet, but the whole piece of Ma Tian full blossom, far look quite spectacular. Flowers fall, produce such as hawthorn fruit size -- we call it the fruit. White fruit seed capsules full, not acid is not sweet, a bit stream of water, drink has a hint of fragrance and taste -- this is our children's love. Although not to eat, but people have to this gift of nature is full of gratitude.
More interesting is the hemp bar these tall and straight, can be used to make toys. The flax we will be the lowest from the root fracture, stripped off the outer layer of pliable bark fiber, revealing a white bar smooth -- material that was toy pistol. With the hemp bar and skin fold wrapped small is our own creation. We follow one's inclinations, produce imagined all kinds of pistol. Although I was a boy, but nature does not like guns,, fighting for a class of things, however, and small partners to play shooting game Ma Tian is very interesting, a play is a day. In the play, we learned to collaborate, learn to crawl, learn the bunker, learn to do it yourself. Our enemy is Japs. They attack the fork groove. We wait in the small West WA, is to give the devil a lesson.
We are very small, but never curse Asada, not to break the good hemp plant, choose only the weak or lodging, used to produce a toy pistol. Whenever Asada outside a passerby, lurking in the hemp field we, a breath, not to turn a hair. The ditch from time to time there are rumors, DR REBORN blowing the leaves rustled, hemp pole does not stop swinging, bugs in our body and face climb in the past, we didn't shout or swear, lest exposed targets, grass juice stained green our pants, knee worn leather, rattan scratch our feet...... However, we always enjoy it. Once the pedestrian judge outside is "the devil" (such as family or acquaintances from over), we will resolutely out of Ma Tian, used to produce their own pistol, fight back, defend Xi Xiao WA, to defend our homeland.
