It turns out that the child's voice is not an illusion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As if they heard someone calling for help, the old man and the old woman came out and hurried into the courtyard. In the face of this behemoth, the old woman and the old man were unequivocal, and they skillfully held the left and right arms of the strong man alone, dragged them once, did not move at all, and pulled them hard a few times, which can be regarded as letting Chu Meng loosen his ties from the arms of the strong man.
Chu Meng suddenly sat down on the ground, bowed his head to protect his arm, and a thick red mark was already printed on the snow-white skin looming under the sackcloth sleeves, like rouge overturned on the white satin. The pain made her brow furrow. Seeing Chu Meng fall to the ground, Dahan waved his arms to break free from the shackles of the old man and the old woman, threw himself on Chu Meng, and sat on the ground with her.
"Eight catties—stop it!" the old woman's voice was thick and trembling, and she struggled to get up after being pushed to the ground, and stepped forward with the old man to pull away the strong man called Eight Pounds.
After tossing for a moment, the strong man seemed to have lost a lot of strength, and sat on the ground panting. The old man found a thick cloth rope out of nowhere and tied the strong man's hands behind his back.
"Father-mother-fairy sister is bleeding!" The seven-foot-long man seemed to be used to being tied, and he didn't struggle obediently, but his mouth was full of concern about the first dream.
"This is not Sister Fairy, this is your Sister of the First Dream!"
"Sister Chumeng?" the strong man tilted his head to look at the fairy-like woman, "Where did Sister Ru'er go?"
"Sister Ru'er went back to her hometown to visit relatives. Look at your first dream sister, are you more beautiful than Sister Ru'er?"
"Beautiful, beautiful!" the strong man's eyes were glued to Chu Meng's body, and he shouted with saliva and clapping his hands.
The old woman looked at the strong man with a smile, and then turned to Chu Meng and said, "Chu Meng girl, I'm really sorry, this is a child of eight catties." He has been a big fat boy since he was a child, and he weighed eight pounds when he was born. Don't look at him in sturdy, but still a child, twelve years old. disturbed the girl, the old couple can't compensate you. After that, the old woman bowed down and saluted, and the old man hurriedly saluted when he saw this.
"Daddy, why did you tie up Bajin again......" Bajin kicked his two legs on the ground and coquettishly, and bursts of smoke and dirt rose around his body, the situation was really a bit funny.
The first dream was still immersed in the fright of Fang Cai, and in a trance was called back to his senses by the noisy sound, and raised his frightened eyes to follow the direction from which the sound came, and met the burning eyes of the old woman staring at her, and felt uncomfortable for a while, so he turned his head to find the big monster that had attacked her just now.
I saw that the monster was eight feet long, and his body was strong, and his arms were particularly thick, but his flesh was very delicate, and he was wearing a short linen robe, but it seemed to be a size smaller, and it could not cover his chest at all, but he was haphazardly tied with a rope around his waist, so that the short clothes would not slip off. And his face is childish, and there is still a little rebellion and arrogance between his eyebrows.
It turned out to be a naïve naughty boy who had a false alarm.
Chu Meng felt a little relieved in his heart, and squeezed out a smile and said, "Uncle and aunt, how can you salute me." Eight catties was not intentional. ”
"Yes, Bajin's character is not bad, it's just that the child is sometimes stubborn, and the girl should not be like him. ”
Chu Meng bowed slightly, smiled lightly and looked at the eight catties of splashing and rolling appearance, being bound by the rope and trying to break free but couldn't break free, and suddenly remembered her younger brother Duan Ran in Xianbei Palace.
Duan Ran is the younger brother of the Xianbei Emperor Duan Zhengrui. When Fu Ruibai entered the palace, he was twelve years old like these eight catties, and he was a well-known demon king in the palace, but later he became a close friend and brother with her by chance.
After all, it is still the eyes of children who can't rub those fame, fortune and hatred, and their innocent hearts are not swayed by gossip, and what they decide is what they are. In the huge palace, others either flattered her and flattered her, or sneered at her and slandered her, and tasted the heat and coldness of the world.
The palace changed a while ago, Duan Ran left Chaohui Palace to fight the enemy, and he has not been heard from since, and I don't know where he is at the moment and whether he is okay.
"Girl, girl?" the old woman saw that she had a dream, and thought that she was suffering from some kind of demonic disorder, and hurried to call her.
Chu Meng cleared his eyes, forced himself not to recall, looked at the eight catties in front of him, and smiled: "The name 'eight catties' is really interesting." ”
"Yes, yes, eight catties!" the old woman smiled, and then glanced at the old man, stepped forward and picked up the girl from the ground, and said, "Girl, it's windy outside, let's go inside." The old man crouched down beside the strong man and began to untie his knots.
The old woman was walking towards the thatched hut with her weak arm in the first dream, when she suddenly heard a cry of "wow-" in the courtyard. The two of them stopped and turned their heads to follow the sound, only to see Bajin lying on his side on the ground, writhing on the ground with a painful expression, tears crawling all over his immature face, mixed with the dust raised, and from a distance it seemed to be smeared with mud. The old man who was untying him was also at a loss for a moment, and raised his eyes to look at the old woman in panic.
"What are you doing!" the old woman glared angrily, "It hurts eight catties!"
"It hurts-mother-" Bajin simply rolled on the ground and howled.
Seeing this, the old woman immediately put aside her first dream, hurried to Bajin's side, pushed the old man away, and squatted on the ground to carefully check the cause of Bajin's pain.
"Where does it hurt? tell my mother!"
"Back, back...... ...... painful pain" Eight catties hung two lines of snot, pouting and sprinkling coquettishly.
The old woman lifted up her eight-pound linen short clothes, and there was a carbuncle as big as a walnut on her back muscles, red and swollen like plums, perhaps because the carbuncle had been broken by the stumble just now, and some slight pus oozed out from the swollen bag.
"When did this grow!Old man, how do you wipe Bajin's body!" The old woman stared at her round eyes and asked sharply, but when she saw that the old man on the side seemed to be shocked by this scolding voice, he shrank beside Bajin and did not dare to respond. Chu Meng was also taken aback by this sudden angry shout, knowing that this old woman had such a fierce side, and the appearance of taking care of herself before was like two people.
The old woman spat a mouthful of saliva, picked up eight catties, coaxed carefully, and then turned her head and scolded: "Old man, you send the girl of the first dream back to the room, and I will settle the eight catties." If something goes wrong again, I'll tell you to go around without eating!"
The old man stood up trembling when he heard the order, and at first he knew that this matter was caused by himself, and that he could not help much, and his heart was full of guilt, so he groped for the edge of the wall and went back to the house by himself.
From time to time, the old man came into the house, and Chu Meng asked, "How is the situation of the eight catties?"
The old man only sighed and responded, "Hey, it's sick." ”
"Eight catties is stronger than the twelve-year-old child next to it, my younger brother also had this disease in the past, and the tired uncle told the eight catties to get out of bed and walk around, and the whole body qi and veins run smoothly, so the disease will be less as I get older. ”
"Miss Xie is kind. The old man said, "What happened to the girl's hand?"
"Minor injuries, it's not in the way. Chu Meng said indifferently.
The old man got up and found some strips of cloth in the room to bandage Chu Meng's fingers, and then warmed the cold medicine on the old table, and gave it to Chu Meng, telling her not to blow the wind and get cold. After serving the girl of the first dream to lie down and fall asleep, the old man walked slowly towards the eight-pound house.
"The girl of the first dream is settled there. The old man wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and let out a long sigh.
"What are you yelling about! Eight catties just fell asleep!"
The old man turned around and tiptoed to the side of Bajin's bed, and said in a suppressed voice, "What's wrong with Wu'er?"
"It's not the same as before, I've been in bed for too long and I've got carbuncles!" the old woman said angrily, "I said that this can't be done, sooner or later he will be matched with a girl, and with a girl to serve him closely, where will there be such a thing?"
"Well, not really. Who told that Ru'er before ran away. Pity us for being stupid, and ask Sister Ru'er why she didn't play with him. ”
"That little hoof, it's hateful when you think about it, it cost me fifteen stone rice to buy it, and it ran away, you can't get rid of this matter!"
"You can't blame me, you didn't tie her up tightly and told her to run away. The old man's voice was full of grievances.
"You're still stubborn! Fortunately, there is no Ru'er, and there is such a fairy-like first dream, and now we have eight catties of Yanfu. The corners of the old woman's mouth raised a hint of misery.
The old man continued: "I see that this girl from the first dream is quite good, just now she also pointed out the disease of eight catties, and told him to get up and move around more, saying that her younger brother had also suffered from this disease before. ”
"It's even better that way, it's easy to take care of. The old woman smiled, "I originally saw that this first dream was delicate, and I thought it was a young lady from a rich family, and I was worried about whether she would take care of people. ”
"You're relieved, but people aren't necessarily happy. ”
The old woman sighed and said: "Pity us eight catties, we were fine last night, but we just started to get sick for no reason, and it happened to let Chumeng see it." I thought that I could also introduce it to Chumeng to promote family affairs, but now, I had to tell a lie and say that I was young and strong. Thinking about our eight catties, it's really hard, more than 30 in this world, but the intelligence is incomplete and stupid like a child. Eight catties of dementia, you must not say it again!" After that, he glanced back at the sleeping eight catties, his eyes were full of pity, and suddenly his heart was horizontal, and he said, "Forget it, the matter has come to this, in case you have a long night and many dreams, just do it tonight!"
"Huh?"
"You are stupid! The wedding can be prepared slowly, and the cave house will be entered first tonight, and the wood will be completed by then, and this first dream will not be able to run. A wicked smile appeared on the peasant woman's face.
"Then what if the first dream has been promised to someone?"
"It doesn't matter if she allows others or not, when she enters my door, she has to give us eight catties as a daughter-in-law. Someone in my house, and the three of us can't deal with one of her?"
"That'...... What if she doesn't comply?"
"You elm brain! Isn't the tranquilizing soup that the doctor prepared for her a while ago have the medicinal effect of calming and sleeping, but we need to increase the dose, and fry three sticks into one post, so that this girl can sleep until dawn, and tomorrow when the sky is light, she will be our eight-pound daughter-in-law! Although this girl looks soft and weak, it will not be difficult to add three sons and two dings to our old Wang family if she is properly adjusted in the future. ”
"The old woman's plan is wonderful!" said the old man, with a smile on his face, "but the girl's origin is unknown, and her family will not find it." ”
"Didn't you hear this girl say that her family is from the north, and it doesn't matter if her family is alive or not. Or maybe ......"
"Maybe what?"
"You forgot, where did you pick up this girl?"
"Xiulin Street ......" the old man slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, why didn't I expect that it was so close to Flower Street, and then look at this girl's appearance, maybe her family sold her to the Qinglou Workshop, and she refused to fall into the dust and ran out!"
"Who would have thought that the girl on the flower street was picked up by our remote farmer, and even if she found it one day, she would keep this girl for a few days as a farmer, and she was too thick for them to recognize!"
"It's still the old woman who thinks thoughtfully! Then I'm going to prepare.
