Chapter 60: To Die
Liaojiazhai is one of the largest villages in the Outer Xing'an Mountains.
In previous years, the Dragon King Festival, more than 300 households in the village, can toss flowers together, that is the most lively scene in the outer Xing'an Mountains.
During this time, before Liaojiazhai held the Dragon King Festival, the Dragon King Envoy announced another thing.
He wants to settle in this Liao family village.
It's a great event!
The envoy of the Dragon King settled in Liaojiazhai, which was a great blessing!
It can be said that it is settled, of course, not just a matter of a few tiled houses.
There are women and children who tie him up, and that's called real settlement.
The people in the stockade knew the meaning when they heard the strings, and knew that the envoy of the dragon king was going to marry a wife and have children here.
As soon as the news spread, everyone in the village who had unmarried girls was anxious.
The matchmaker went again and again, and she almost leveled the threshold of the Dragon King's envoy.
As a result, after tossing for two or three days, the Dragon King's envoy released a message through the matchmaker.
After hearing this, the people in the village all picked a thumbs-up.
The envoy of the dragon king, this person, is exquisite!
The yellow flower boudoir woman doesn't want it, the old husband and the young wife, and the widow will be alive and widowed in the future.
The new widow's family within three years does not want it, she still has a dead husband in her heart, and she is still very young, and she can still find a family in the future, and she does not have to marry an old bachelor.
The envoy of the dragon king has not taken half of the money in the village for decades, but now that he is over fifty years old, he is so particular about asking for a wife to eat, and the people in the village are very convinced.
However, he threw out these few requirements, and there were few people in the village who met the requirements, only Widow He.
When Widow He was young, she was the first beauty in the village, with dark eyes, a face as white as snow, and a braided black hair.
What's even more rare is that this woman is literate, which is rare here.
But now, her husband has been dead for almost ten years, and she herself is in her early thirties.
Five years ago, she went up the mountain to chop wood, and broke her leg, leaving her disabled, and she walked with a limp.
Promise this person to the envoy of the Dragon King, and the people in the village feel that it is inappropriate, and they are not worthy of others!
As a result, the village chief went to tell the envoy of the dragon king, and the envoy of the dragon king immediately made a decision, it was her.
So what else do you say?
This year, the Dragon King Festival in Liaojiazhai was done together with the marriage of the Dragon King's envoy, and the real double happiness was coming.
Everyone worked together, and on the east side of the village, the small wooden house where the Dragon King's envoy originally settled was changed into three large blue brick houses.
From now on, this is the home of him and Widow Ho.
Of course, in the future, you can't call this woman Widow He, she is now the real daughter-in-law of the Liu family.
......
On this morning, the chimney of the Dragon King's envoy Liu Shunfu's house was smoking early.
On the stove, a limping woman was making breakfast.
Since this woman remarried, in just a few days, she was like eating an elixir, and her whole person was radiant.
Her original man died, and her life was long gone. The person in my heart can't see it a few times a year.
Now that he has got what he wants, of course, his physical and mental state is different, as if he is ten years younger, his braids have been combed again, and his face is even more white and red.
Compared with when he didn't get married, his legs are not good, and the others are not bad at all.
After the two couples finished breakfast, the woman was about to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but her wrist was grabbed by Liu Shunfu.
"Old thing, wasn't it enough last night?" The woman glanced at Liu Shunfu, her mouth was disgusted, but red clouds flew on her face, and she looked at Liu Shunfu with silky eyes.
Liu Shunfu shook his head with a smile, pointed to the bench opposite, and said with a pleasant face: "Sit." ”
"Hey. The woman answered softly and sat down obediently.
The man in front of him is actually good at anything.
Although he was older, his physical strength was stronger than that of young people in their twenties. When the lamp is blown out at night, it can toss her to death, and the momentum is like a mouthful of livestock.
And he usually treats himself very gently.
It's so gentle, so gentle that it's a little polite.
Now that the two are husband and wife, this kind of politeness is inexplicably angry.
But the woman didn't think much about it in her heart, she just felt that this man had been a bachelor for so many years, and he might not be used to the life between young couples.
Don't rush, take your time.
At this time, the hand was held by the man's rough big hand, and the woman's heart beat fast, like a deer.
Now her whole body can't be touched by this person, as long as she touches it, she will react.
Soon, she sensed something was wrong.
The way the man held her wrist, she knew.
That is the technique of Lang Zhong in the village, the index finger and middle finger are pressed against their own veins, which is called taking the pulse.
"What's wrong?" the woman was a little panicked, and touched her face with one hand, "Am I sick?"
"Nope. Liu Shunfu seemed to confirm something, withdrew his hand, and said with a smile, "You are very good." ”
After saying this, Liu Shunfu stood up.
"Where are you going?" the woman's expression tightened, and she also stood up, "Isn't the Dragon King Sacrifice over?"
"It's over, it's over. Liu Shunfu smiled, "But I'm going to meet with the Dragon King and talk about the things that everyone has entrusted me." ”
"Where does the Dragon Lord live?" asked the woman curiously.
"The Dragon Lord lives in Dragon City. Liu Shunfu said, "It's actually not far away, but ordinary people can't find it, and they can't get in." ”
"Oh......" the woman nodded when she heard this, "Then when are you coming back?"
"Three or five days. Liu Shunfu walked out the door, and then seemed to remember something, turned around and said, "The quilt, remember to take it out and dry it." ”
"Hmm!" the woman replied.
When Liu Shunfu went out, the woman began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the table.
As soon as she cleaned up, she felt something, and when she looked up, she found Liu Shunfu looking at her at the window.
However, Liu Shunfu's gaze was very strange, he was not looking at her face, but at her lower abdomen.
The woman's face turned red for a moment, she covered her lower abdomen and glared at Liu Shunfu.
Liu Shunfu glanced at her again, and for some reason, at the moment when the four eyes met, she felt that this man seemed to have something to say to herself.
But he didn't say anything after all, just smiled and led the donkey away.
......
led the donkey out of Liao's village, and Liu Shunfu's face quickly turned gray.
He hunched over and coughed a few times.
Stepping on the donkey's back, Liu Shunfu said, "Let's go." ”
Unexpectedly, the donkey refused to go, and the pestle remained motionless in place.
Liu Shunfu was slightly stunned, and soon understood, he smiled bitterly: "It is said that kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs." I didn't expect you, a donkey, to know some people. ”
"I know, if you think of her well, why shouldn't I?"
"She's a miserable person. But don't worry, I've hidden a picture in that quilt, and the belongings I've saved over the years are clearly marked. ”
"This money, as long as she is smart enough, is enough for the two of them to live for a lifetime. ”
"Do you think her leg was really broken when she went up the mountain to chop wood?"
"She can stay a widow for ten years in this poor mountain and bad water, and she is by no means an ordinary woman. ”
"My Liu family's seed can only let such a woman give birth to it. ”
"Donkey, hurry up. If it is delayed any longer, she will find out when she is drying the quilt, and when the time comes, I may not be able to harden this heart and leave here. ”
"It's good for me to die with her, but it's sad for her. ”
While speaking, Liu Shunfu slapped the donkey's buttocks.
The donkey finally began to walk forward, with a bell tied around its neck.
The jingling bell sounded for the last time in the outer Xing'an Mountains.
