The morning light is faint, the fog is hazy, as if it has been moistened by that drizzle, at this time in Yuxi Village, like the old trees and dead branches glowing with new branches, even the ubiquitous air, a deep breath seems to be able to dye the mellow fragrance of fragrant grass.

"Phew~~, his uncle, it's only May, why is the weather so hot, it's unbearable."

With a "squeak" of the door opening, there was a burst of abuse in a house located by the village river, and when I walked in, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a coarse cloth shirt on his upper body, with a big belly and eyes full of eye droppings, was pacing slowly, muttering to the kitchen on the side.

"Xiangzi mother, you lazy woman, when is this, why don't you bring the water over and I wash it? What's the matter, do you want me to serve you? ”

"Alas, here it is, it's coming, I'm not scooping water, what are you yelling for?" Hearing this, Xiangzi Niang, who was holding a wooden basin of water in the kitchen, quickly ripped off the towel on the wooden pole and put it on the edge of the basin, walked to her man in three steps and put it down, and complained while twisting the towel: "I must have owed your Zhou family a debt in my last life, or I will toss the old lady one by one, I have been busy in the morning until now, and I haven't even drunk saliva yet, so I am cooking on the fire and dressing and washing the quilt for that kid." ”

"Huh? What the hell was that stinky boy wetting the bed again last night? Zhou Benshu was originally sitting on the stone bench in the garden, and when he heard Xiangzi Niang's words, he also opened his eyes and frowned and asked.

"No, you said that this kid is also six years old, and someone has to get up at night to pee on his, and I slept a little more deeply last night and didn't get up, so he made this happen to me. You see, the kid from the rich family is still a year younger than us, not to mention such a shameful thing as bedwetting, just their nest of rabbits is still the same kid pulling weeds and feeding. ”

After that, Xiangzi Niang sighed heavily, and said to her husband: "Look at our Xiangzi again, not to mention the age of the big people, and he knows how to play with mud all day long with snot." Alas, the gap between this person and people is so big. ”

"I'm sorry, you stupid woman, what are you talking about early in the morning, why is my son not as good as others? Oh, you think it's great that the Bai kid will raise a few rabbit cubs. Hmph, from this, it can be seen that the kid is just like his father, a hard worker. Compared with our Xiangzi, I don't think he even deserves to lift shoes for his son. ”

Zhou Benshu pushed away his daughter-in-law, and didn't listen to her nagging, so he simply got up and straightened the collar of his shirt, and walked directly out of the door: "Okay, I'm too lazy to talk to you, hurry up and fry a handful of vegetables, and bring all the rice to the house, I'll go to the field first to see if our field is short of water?" ”

After that, Zhou Benshu didn't wait for Xiangzi Niang to respond, so he squinted and slowly opened the courtyard door, stretched out his feet and took a step towards the door, but he just landed on the ground, and the soles of his shoes slipped and fell out of the door directly, and knocked out two front teeth.

"Hey, straight mother, who poured oil on my doorstep? Oops, it hurts Lao Tzu to death. ”

"What's wrong with you, boss?" In the courtyard, Xiangzi Niang had just poured the water in the basin on the edge of the fence, and with just one turn of effort, she saw her man throwing a big horse out of the door. Seeing this, he quickly threw away the basin, and was about to trot over to help Zhou Benshu up, but a bright red color flashed in the corner of his eye. couldn't help but glance at it, and he was so frightened that he collapsed and sat on the ground. "Ahhh

Outside the door, Zhou Benshu was still lying on the ground with his mouth covered, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but reprimand angrily: "Shut up, Lao Tzu is not dead yet, what are you yelling about...... Wow, this and this ......"

Zhou Benshu was still holding his breath and planned to scold Xiangzi Niang for being angry, but when he looked up, he saw bloody handprints everywhere on the courtyard gate. The swear words in my mouth are like pressing the key on the switch, and I can't say anything.

In the end, it is a man in his thirties, Zhou Benshu was stunned for a while, and he came back to his senses, covering his mouth with one hand and supporting the ground with the other, and then got up and walked to Xiangzi Niang's side with a hard foot, and kicked her a few times in disgust: "Don't get up yet, wait for people to see if we joke?" ”

"When you are in charge, the bloody handprints are bloody handprints."

didn't wait for Xiangzi Niang to finish stammering, hearing that Zhou Benshu kicked her again with a black face, and said viciously: "What kind of blood, you know how to roar and scream, where do you see the bloody handprints will be so bright and translucent?" I've never seen cinnabar water. ”

"What...... What the? Is it cinnabar? Isn't it bloodwater? Hearing this, Xiangzi Niang's hands are not shaking and her feet are not soft, and the cold sweat on her body does not seem to be there, and suddenly, she got up from the ground and took a closer look, hey, good guy, it was really smeared with cinnabar water.

"Alas, Aunt Ma, have you heard of those strange things about the Zhou family?"

"Oh, I said Liu's second daughter-in-law, your news is a bit outdated, who wouldn't know about their family now? I have one more news here, guess what? ”

On the edge of a large willow tree in the village, a group of women queuing up to fetch water were muttering to each other, only to see a short and fat woman in a dark purple floral linen skirt, who was whispering and laughing to a few little daughters-in-law beside her with a triumphant face.

"Oh, Aunt Ma, just tell us, why bother making fun of us." On the side, a little woman with a concubine-colored velvet flower pinned to her head pulled the former with both hands.

"Yes, Aunt Ma, do you know any good news? Come and chat with us, it's really a hot time to hang our appetite like this. The other little daughter-in-law pouted, rolled her eyes a few times, and said strangely from time to time.

"Hey, you don't know." The person who was called "Aunt Ma's Aunt" raised his eyebrows and deliberately looked around a few times, grinning: "I heard that this is the family's lack of virtue and doing too much, suffering retribution, and committing Tai Sui." Either he twisted his waist today, or he broke his leg tomorrow. “

After saying this, the aunt of the Ma family smashed her mouth a few more times, and said unsatisfied: "According to reliable sources, when someone passed by their house at night, he saw a white shadow swaying back and forth there. ”

"Ah, really? Didn't you just say that someone deliberately made it bad, why did you become a prisoner again? ”

As soon as the aunt of the Ma family heard that someone refuted her, she was not happy, and couldn't help but explain: "Heh, that's because you are all young, some things are still unclear, if this is a human factor, the people of the Zhou family have been keeping vigil for several days in a row, and their eyes are dark and green, why didn't they catch half a person?" So, there are some things that can't be done, and people are watching it. ”

"Hey, listening to Aunt Ma say this, that's really the case."

"Yes, yes, it seems that the Zhou family must have entered the dirty stuff."

"Ah, then I won't dare to fight there in the future."
