Chapter I
Zhou Yiyi has always dreamed of Uncle Ge recently. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He appeared in front of her with blood on the corner of his mouth, looked at her quietly, looked at her, and then turned around silently, and walked and walked along the only path leading to the village without saying a word, until he reached the Zhoujia Reservoir, then turned around and looked at Zhou Yiyi who came over, his eyes darkened, and the person jumped in.
Zhou Yiyi suddenly woke up from her dream.
In a cold sweat.
It's dawning again.
Daylight filtered through the tattered window paper and fell on the gray ground, and small and tiny grains of golden dust floated in the air, slowly, slowly.
Zhou Yiyi sat up quietly, wiped the sweat beads on her forehead with the back of her hand, inhaled lightly, changed her soaked clothes, jumped off the bed neatly, and tied the loose hair behind her head with a head rope with her hands and feet, picked up the basin at the foot of the bed and went to the kitchen to fetch water and wash.
By the time everything was ready, it was past noon.
The stomach rumbled, Zhou Yiyi looked at the stove, there was still a nest left from yesterday in the bowl, and the color was already a little yellow and black. She looked at it, picked it up, put it to her mouth, and bit it, thinking that when she came back, she would have to go to the back mountain to see if there were any wild vegetables to dig up and eat.
Wowotou is cold, but fortunately, the weather is still hot.
When she got up late and didn't have time to boil hot water, Zhou Yiyi drank a few sips of cold boiled water overnight to quench her thirst, and then wore a pair of old cloth shoes, took small steps, and once again walked on the country road to the village.
It was the thirty-second time she had set foot on the road to the village since she had dreamed of Uncle Ge for the first time.
When passing by the small shop opened by the daughter-in-law at the entrance of the village, as usual, there were a number of women in the village sitting around the door of the shop, each holding a banana fan in their hands, fanning it lightly one by one, and talking about their favorite after-dinner conversations all the time.
"Alas, Hui Niang is really miserable. The men in the family are gone, and they are left with orphans and widows, how will they live in the future?"
"How's it going? Naturally, it's a remarriage. Didn't Liu Yong come back early? I heard that people ran to the Ge family and the Zhu family very diligently. Besides, this Liu Yong and Hui Niang already have a friendship that grew up together, if it hadn't happened at the beginning, this Liu Yong and Hui Niang would have been husband and wife a long time ago. If you want me to see, it won't be long before we should go and drink Brother Liu's wedding wine. ”
"I can't. Liu Yong left Hui Niang alone in order to go into the city to be a son-in-law. If it weren't for Ge Song, Hui Niang would have been forced to death by her mother's family. ”
"What's this. You must know that Liu Yong is not the original Liu Yong. Although he is a widower, after all, he inherited all the wealth of his father-in-law's family, and Hui Niang's family is such a group of people who can't see anything when they see money. Tut-tut, wait, soon, I see, there will be a result in a few days. ”
Zhou Yiyi lowered her head and walked in front of them silently, and the women at the door were all silent when they saw Zhou Yiyi, leaning back slightly, blocking their faces with a banana fan, frowning as if they had seen something dirty, and their faces were full of disgust, for fear of provoking themselves.
Zhou Yiyi hung her head, quickened her pace and ran away, and she could hear them saying behind her in the distance: "I'm unlucky, and I still come out to wander around." The fate of such a heavenly evil lone star, not to mention the father and mother, it is not enough to involve a Ge family brother, do you want to come out and affect us?

The Zhoujia Reservoir is not big, but the water is not shallow, and if an adult falls into it, the water can go straight to the top of the person's head. Those who don't know how to swim in the water will definitely die if they fall in, but Uncle Ge may not.
Because, Uncle Ge will be able to use water.
Zhou Yiyi stood by the reservoir, the sound of the rushing water sounded in his ears like a drum, splashing a row of white splashes.
Ge Song, the brother of the Ge family, fell into the reservoir and drowned.
People in Zhoujia Village say so.
Zhou Yiyi squatted on the bank of the river, looking at the unfathomable lake, and stayed alone for a long time.
Why did she always dream that Uncle Ge had blood on the corner of his mouth? Why did Uncle Ge always take her to the Zhoujia Reservoir in her dreams? Why did Uncle Ge's eyes suddenly darken before jumping into the lake?
Zhou Yiyi couldn't figure it out.
She could dream of ghosts, but she had never heard them speak. They just kept appearing in her dreams, pestering her again and again, all night long, never letting her sleep peacefully. Some of the ghosts that appeared in her dreams she knew, some she had never seen. They each have different appearances, some miserable, some peaceful, some pitiful, some terrifying, and some indescribable. They always took her to different places, to the execution ground, to the countryside, to the mansion, to the villa...... Running again and again, scene after scene, witnessing again and again, and a period of life......
In her dreams, she never stopped.
The sound of the water was still loud, but the sky was getting darker.
Zhou Yiyi stood up and squatted for a long time, and her legs were a little numb.
She looked in the direction of the entrance to the village, and there were already wisps of cooking smoke rising from the roofs of other people's houses. My stomach started rumbling again. Zhou Yiyi swallowed her saliva and decided to go to Uncle Ge's house to see Xiaohu first, and then go home to dig wild vegetables and cook and eat.
The front of Ge's house was unusually deserted.
Zhou Yiyi knocked on the door, and a child's voice came from inside the door, the sound of clattering footsteps, rubbing against the sand: "Who?"
"Xiaohu, I'm Sister Yiyi. Zhou Yiyi replied outside the door.
"Sister Yiyi. Xiaohu's happy voice sounded, the door clicked open, Xiaohu raised his head and shouted to Zhou Yiyi, "Sister Yiyi!" and shouted loudly to the yard, "Mother, mother, Sister Yiyi is here! Sister Yiyi came to play with Xiaohu!" After speaking, he took Zhou Yiyi's hand and walked to the courtyard, chattering while walking, "Xiaohu is so bored at home, my mother has a lot of things to do, and my father is not at home, and no one plays with Xiaohu." ”
Zhou Yiyi touched his head and said, "Sister will play with you." Xiaohu wants to play any game, and my sister will play with you. ”
Xiaohu nodded happily when he heard this, and said heavily: "Well! Sister Yiyi is the best for Xiaohu!"
Zhou Yiyi pursed her lips and squeezed his hand with a smile.
Hui Niang walked out of the house, saw Zhou Yiyi smiled, and said, "Yiyi is here, have you eaten?" Auntie is cooking, if you haven't eaten, eat with us." Auntie cooks for you, cooks for you, and cooks what you love. Xiaohu loves to eat meat balls, Yiyi loves to eat braised pork, and Ah Song loves to eat ...... Ah Song loves to eat everything, as long as I make it, Ah Song loves to eat everything......"
Zhou Yiyi looked at her, the hair on her temples was scattered to cover her ears, but in just a few dozen days, a few fine lines were added to the corners of her eyes, although she was smiling, her face was pale, and it was difficult to hide her haggardness. When it came to Uncle Ge, even his voice was a lot lower.
Uncle Ge is a good person, and Aunt Ge is also a good person.
She could feel her sadness, but she didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only hold Xiaohu's hand tightly and smile at her: "Well! Yiyi wants to eat braised pork! Yiyi loves to eat braised pork from her aunt." ”
Daddy once told her that companionship is silent love.
Then she accompanies Aunt Ge and Xiaohu, will it make them feel better.
"Then the little tiger also wants to eat braised pork! The little tiger also wants to eat meat balls!" Xiaohu immediately echoed.
Hui Niang was pulled back to her senses by the voices of the two children, tucked the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, bent her eyes, and said softly: "That's good, my mother will make meat balls for Xiaohu and braised pork for Yiyi." ”
Zhou Yiyi accompanied Xiaohu to play with stones in the yard, and Hui Niang was busy cooking in the kitchen.
She also came to Uncle Ge's house in the past, and she and Xiaohu were still playing in the yard, and Aunt Ge was busy cooking in the kitchen. It's just that now, there is no longer sitting in front of the stove fanning the fire and throwing firewood, and Aunt Ge is always laughing and talking about the clumsy Uncle Ge.
"Ahh
Hui Niang hurriedly poured him a glass of water, looked at the braised pork on the table and said, "Is it salty?"
Zhou Yiyi put a braised pork in her mouth, and after taking a bite, the movement in her mouth stopped, looked at Hui Niang, who was still feeding Xiaohu water, and slowly chewed a few more mouthfuls before swallowing.
So salty.
Aunt Ge probably put the salt as sugar.
Zhou Yiyi ate very much for dinner, except for the braised pork is very salty and the meat balls are very sweet, the taste of other dishes is not bad, especially the white rice is the best.
Zhou Yiyi helped Hui Niang brush the dishes, and was just about to leave to go home when someone knocked on the door and came in.
"Hui Niang. The visitor shouted.
"Why are you here again?" Hui Niang turned around when she heard the voice, frowned, and immediately pulled Xiaohu in front of her, "Didn't I tell you not to come to my house all the time?" After speaking, she glanced at Zhou Yiyi uneasily.
"Doesn't I care about you? ”
The person who came came out of the dark and fell into the light, and Zhou Yiyi saw clearly what he looked like.
He has a Chinese face, a high nose bridge, single eyelids, hair tied up high, a navy blue satin, and an oiled paper bag in his hand.
Zhou Yiyi didn't like him, and intuitively didn't like him.
"Go back, don't come back to my house. Hui Niang frowned, holding Xiaohu's shoulders tightly with both hands, although her face was haggard, she still couldn't hide the beauty between her eyebrows.
"Go quickly, my mother told you not to come to my house, why are you still here." You make my mother angry, when my father comes back, I will tell my father to beat you!" The mustache stretched out his small fist and protected Hui Niang in front of him, making a vicious appearance.
"Your daddy won't be coming back. ”
"Liu Yong, shut up for me!" Hui Niang screamed, like an angry lioness who was enraged, jumped in front of Xiaohu to block his sight, and endured anger at the person opposite, "Liu Yong, you get out! You are not welcome here! Please leave!"
It turned out that this person was Liu Yong.
Zhou Yiyi suddenly remembered what the women in the village had said this afternoon.
"Hui Niang, I'm just telling the child the truth, he has to know sooner or later. Am I wrong?" Liu said.
"It's our family's business. It has nothing to do with you. Hui Niang said.
"Is it? What if we become a family? I don't have the power to manage it?" Liu Yong's eyes flashed, and he stepped forward and said.
"I've already told you I don't want to. No one can force me to do what I don't want to. Hui Niang said with a firm gaze.
"Oh, is it?" Liu Yong's eyes changed, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he stepped forward to grab Hui Niang's hand.
"Auntie!"
Zhou Yiyi shouted and strode out of the shadows.
Liu Yong was unaware that there was still someone, and his hand was stunned and put it down again.
"What is this?"
"Is my uncle asking me?" Zhou Yiyi raised her head slowly in a faint voice, and deliberately looked at Liu Yong with a distracted gaze. She was already born with yellow face and thin muscles, her hair was sneering and yellow, and the two pieces of her eyes were bruised and thick, and she looked at Liu Yong with a faint smile at this moment, which was really a little chilling and terrifying.
"I was born without my mother, I lost my father at the age of seven, and everyone called me Tiansha Lone Star. Zhou Yiyi stared straight at Liu Yong, her voice seemed to float from the shadows, and she said quietly, "Isn't Uncle afraid of me?"
Liu Yong stepped back, raised his eyebrows, and said coldly: "Since you know that your life is not good, don't run to other people's houses casually." He looked at Hui Niang unhappily and said, "Don't let anyone go home, so as not to attract bad luck and enter the door." ”
"Are you talking about yourself?" Hui Niang looked at him coldly.
"Don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink!" Liu Yong was also angry, looked at Hui Niang and said viciously, "For the sake of me, I still have some friendship with you, just accept it when I see it." lest even the last bit of friendship be worn out, you will have to eat the evil fruit yourself. As she spoke, she glanced behind Hui Niang again, "Women, you still have to be obedient." Coaxed me happy, for your sake, even if it is a drag oil bottle, I will take care of it for you. ”
"Get out!" Hui Niang shouted, her face flushed with anger.
"Hmph!" Liu Yong flicked his sleeves and rushed to the door angrily, "Ten days later, you will come and kneel and beg me!"
Hui Niang covered her face and hugged Xiaohu and cried bitterly.
