Chapter 1195: The River God (5)
and Liao Niangzi have a very weak sense of existence in the memory of the original owner, so Su Li vaguely knows that these two are women with a relatively docile temperament.
In fact, it should be said that most of the women and daughters-in-law who married in Zhengjia Village are quite docile, but there are also a few with a pungent temperament, but they have disappeared over the years.
I heard that some of them ran away from home because they couldn't stand their children being given to the river god, and some of them were crazy and stupid because they couldn't accept the status quo.
The original owner had never thought about it in detail, but when Su Li thought about it like this, he always felt extremely frightened, which made people shudder.
"Mrs. Su, hurry up and think about it, there are only two days left for us to think about it. “
Su Li: "But that child is also the lifeblood of another woman, I can't ......"
The white lady looked at her with a strange expression, and her eyes showed too much whites, making her expression have a hint of funny sneer.
A few strange laughs came out of her throat, "Su Niangzi, haven't you ever doubted it.... Zheng Erlang won't live with you outside?"
Even if it is not explicitly stated, the meaning of the White Lady's words has been clearly expressed.
"Think about it slowly, but you'll have to give me an answer by tomorrow. “
Three croaks sounded outside the door, and the white lady's expression changed, and she hurriedly swept out.
There are no pond puddles near this house, so where does the frog cry come from?
Su Li also followed quickly, but the white lady's big steps were very fast, and Su Li chased to the gate of the courtyard and only saw three faint figures.
One of the shadows reflected in the moonlight made Su Li's gaze linger the longest.
The slightly bulging abdomen looks like a pregnant woman who is three months pregnant.
No child has been born in Zhengjia Village for a long time, and many daughters-in-law are reluctant to give birth.
After the children were born, raised for a few years, and cultivated a relationship that they couldn't let go, did they give them to the river god?
A child has to take half of his mother's life, and a few more, if he doesn't die, he will be crazy.
And what Xiaoli secretly said to Xiaotong, her father wanted her mother to have a child, right?
After standing at the door for a while, Su Li relocked the courtyard door and entered the room.
Nothing happened overnight.
Early the next morning, the two young men who had sent Su Li home yesterday according to the instructions of the village chief came again.
The two young men, one named Zheng Qiu and the other Zheng Dong are a pair of cousins.
However, the villagers of Zhengjia Village are all handed down from one ancestor, and almost all of them are related to each other.
If it is said, Zheng Qiu and Zheng Dong still have to call Su Li a sister-in-law.
As soon as Su Li opened the courtyard door, Zheng Qiu and Zheng Dong were like door gods, squatting in front of the courtyard gate, one on the left and one on the left.
I really couldn't see the figures of the two from the courtyard, and I didn't know when they came.
Zheng Qiu held a small bag of white rice in his hand, tightly clenched the mouth of the bag with a rope, and placed it on the ground close to his belly leg.
Zheng Dong brought a fresh grass carp over, rubbed it together with a hemp rod, passed it through the fish's mouth and carried it on his hand.
The fish is so alive that it flicks its tail from time to time.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the two stood up at the same time, looking at Su Li with a subtle and bold gaze.
Su Li's gaze turned around the things in the hands of the two of them, and asked coldly, "The village chief asked you to come over?"
Zheng Qiu hurriedly waved his hand, "No, it's me who is a little worried about you... You guys, so come and have a look. “
"Let's cook the rice for the little boy. “
Visually, the small bag of rice in Zheng Qiu's hand is exactly the amount of two people in two days.
Zheng Qiu spoke first, and Zheng Dong was not to be outdone and leaned in front of Su Li, and raised the grass carp in his hand as if he was invited, "I bought this fish in the town overnight yesterday." “
"You boil some fish soup for the little boy to drink. “
If you want to say that a grass carp, it is not worth it in the past few years, after all, Zhengjia Village is adjacent to the Tongtian River, and there are many fish and shrimp in the river, and the villagers can go to the river to catch a handful at any time if they want to make a tooth sacrifice.
It's just that since the Tongtian River was occupied by the river god, except for the day of the sacrifice, no one in the village dared to go to the river, let alone catch fresh fish in the river.
If you want to eat some fish and shrimp, you can only exchange things with people from other villages, or walk for a few hours to buy them in the town.
In this way, the fish and shrimp seem to be slightly more expensive than other foods.
Of course, this is just a little bit, and on the premise that you can't even fill your stomach, the food is precious.
"Do you raise it well, and then give it to the river god decently?"
Su Li's gaze was like ice slag, and the two young men were at a loss, "No, that's not what we meant. “
Pinching the itchy palm, Su Li said expressionlessly: "Go back and tell the village chief, don't waste your mind on me." “
Zheng Qiu and Zheng Dong had a fever on their faces, but they didn't expect their thoughts, and Su Niangzi could see them clearly.
I don't think it's a good time to talk about this, but .....
Zheng Qiu glanced at his cousin on the side, eagerly wanted to hold Su Li's hand, and said, "Su Niangzi, Zheng Erlang is gone, and Xiao Tong is also.... You're alone, and I want to take good care of you. “
Everything was preempted by his cousin, Zheng Dong stopped doing it, he pulled Zheng Qiu's clothes from behind, and from then on, he directly avoided the opportunity for him to contact Su Li.
"Cousin, you are too bad, the village chief said that we should compete fairly, Su Niangzi is whoever he likes, why don't you follow the rules. “
Turning his head, Zheng Dong said seriously to Su Li again: "Mrs. Su, don't say what you said just now, the village chief won't allow it." If our village wants to survive, it must have newborn children. “
"You fool, what are you talking nonsense with Su Niangzi. Zheng Qiu hurriedly covered Zheng Dong's mouth.
Survive, newborn child, pregnancy, illegitimate child ....
A line that connects all the confusing things, is that what she thinks?
"Third uncle, fourth uncle, why are you here?"
The boy wiped his confused eyes and smiled reluctantly.
Su Li noticed that his expression was sluggish, and his eyes were swollen and red. Apparently I secretly cried under the covers last night.
Children should be too scared to avoid worrying their mothers during the day, and try their best to hide their emotions.
He was only eight years old, and his life had not even begun, and he was about to die here.
Su Li gently took Xiao Tong's hand, hugged the person into his arms, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't be afraid, my mother will not send you to the river god, don't worry." “
The child was anxious to speak, but Su Li put his index finger against the child's pale lips, "Shhhhhh “
The boy wanted to speak and stopped, but his mother's embrace made him particularly greedy.
Zheng Qiu and Zheng Dong interrupted the warm moment of the mother and son with incomprehensible eyes, "Xiaotong, uncle brought you some food." “
All of a sudden, Xiao Tong's face turned pale, and the behavior of Uncle Zheng and Uncle Fourth was constantly reminding him that he was good at eating and drinking, and he was good at going on the road.
Su Li was annoyed, "You guys get out of here." “
