Boone had a dream about a noisy city with walls as bright as mirrors. He asked in a dream what this place was, and a mysterious voice responded: Macondo.
The next day, Boone believed in the guidance of the dream and told his companions, who had followed him in search of a home, that he would never find the sea again.
Right on the coolest part of the river, they began to cut down wood and build houses, lined up and built their own new village.
Boone and his wife, Sura, are cousins. The two families are world friends, and they have cooperated with each other and married each other for hundreds of years. Two people, childhood sweethearts, grew up together, and they are happy with each other.
Parents on both sides are inevitably a little worried, afraid of giving birth to a pig-tailed child. After all, there is a lesson from the past, Sulla's aunt once married Boone's uncle and gave birth to a pig-tailed child. Later, a bold butcher helped cut off the tail, and the tail was cut off, and the people were gone.
I don't care about giving birth to piglets, as long as I can talk. "Boone is resolute.
The two got married. Sulla, threatened by her mother's prophecy about the piglets, refuses to have sex with her husband. Since then, some rumors have begun to spread in the village, saying that for more than a year, Sula is still a **, and her husband is not.
Cockfighting is popular in the village. It is a kind of entertainment among men.
Villager Pru's cockfight lost to Boone, looking at his own blood-soaked cockfight, he sarcastically mocked loudly in front of everyone:
Congratulations!Let's see if this chicken can help your woman?”
Boone suppressed the anger in his heart and calmly declared, "Wait until I'll be back soon." You hurry back and get the guy, I'm going to kill you!”
This is tantamount to heralding the beginning of a duel between the two men. As long as the battle is met, there is no way back, until one of them falls.
Boone went back to get the spear his grandfather had left behind, and saw Pru waiting for him with a sneer. Without hesitation, he threw the spear in his hand, as if he were hunting a tiger. The spearhead pierced Pru's throat.
That night, Boone angrily took the bloody long hair to his wife and made her take off her chastity pants that stood between them.
You are responsible for the future. ”
Whatever you give birth to, I will raise. ”
This night, the two had no sleep all night, and it was also the happiest and happiest night that the couple had spent in more than a year since they got married.
Although, Pru died in a fair duel. But, in the end, it was Boone's anger at cynicism that created the sin. Neither of them had peace of conscience.
Sulla would often see Pru at home. One moment he filled the hole in his neck with thatch, and the other he washed the blood on his neck pierced by the long hair by the pool.
Every time Sula screamed in fear, Boone angrily picked up his long hair and yelled at where his wife was pointing, "To hell, I'll kill you once you come." ”
Since then, the two of them have been unable to sleep and have been tortured all night. Later, Boone would often see Pru washing his neck. The couple couldn't take it anymore.
Well, let's get out of here. How far can you go, how far you can go, and never come back. Rest in peace. ”
Before leaving, Boone buried the long hair in the courtyard and cut off the head of his fighting to comfort the spirits of Pru.
With his wife with him, Boone embarks on his long journey to find a new home. A few villagers as young as them follow them and set off towards the unknown.
They have no destination, only enthusiasm and hope.
Aimless travel. They are wandering savages, hunting for survival, and have what to eat. Sometimes they eat monkey meat and drink snake soup.
After fourteen months of walking, the pregnant Sula gave birth to a baby boy. The couple turned the child over and examined him carefully, and finally determined that he did not have a long tail and that there was nothing wrong with him.
Boundless swamps that stretch into the unseen distance. Two years later, they arrived at the west side of the mountain range, looking into the distance, hoping to see the sea and find a suitable place to live by the sea. And then there was none, except for the Swamp, nothing.
In this way, he marched through the swamp for several more months, and camped by a river full of rocks.
That very night, Boone had that dream, and he dreamed of a city, and he had a name, and he didn't know what it meant. They suddenly decided to stop and settle down next to the river.
A family, more than a century of rise and fall stories, will begin here.
