Chapter 113: Trapped in a cage

The year 1983 passed in a burst of firecrackers and noise, some people were happy and some were sad.

This year, like the previous New Year, on the first day of the new year, the dance club was on fire, twisting Yangge, and the street was very lively.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, a couple of young couples held hands, put on brand new clothes, and went to their father-in-law's house to drink and reunite.

On the third day of the new year, there is still a fifth watch, and the ancestors are worshiped before dawn, and they have to burn paper on the graves of their ancestors.

The living have to celebrate the New Year, the dead also have to celebrate the New Year, the third day of the first year to worship the ancestors is the unchanging rule of Daliang Mountain for thousands of years, this year there is money, many people began to light the ceremonial flowers on the graves of their ancestors, set off two cannons, and the crackling firecrackers shook the sky again.

On the fourth day of junior high school, I had a day off, and the people who had just broken the five mountains couldn't stay idle and began to work in the fields with hoes.

The weather has begun to warm, everything has not yet recovered, and the first thing to predict the warming of the weather is a thin spring rain.

Although the spring rain was very thin, dense and cold, there were no snowflakes to be seen, and they disappeared when they fell to the ground and burrowed into the dirt.

The earth begins to thaw, the ice in the river gradually thins and becomes brittle, the ice cubes are about to dissipate, and the branches of the willows by the river are slowly softening, and soon there will be a tender new green.

Wang Hailiang was very satisfied this year, the first is that the road in Daliang Mountain was built very smoothly, and the villagers all earned wages.

The medicinal herbs, mountain fruits, inexhaustible grain, cotton and livestock of Daliang Mountain were also transported out of the mountain by the people of the transport team and exchanged for banknotes.

A lot of things have been added to the village, and rare fertilizers and pesticides have also been transported into the mountains little by little.

Some people also added bicycles, flying pigeons, and permanent. Some people have bought cassette recorders, tapes, and new household appliances have gradually entered the mountains.

The life of the villagers is better, and Wang Hailiang, as the village head, is of course also excited.

There is another thing, that is, Yuzhu gave birth to a baby for Hailiang, a girl with thin eyebrows and big eyes, and looks like Yuzhu.

Wang Hailiang likes girls, but Yuzhu doesn't like it, and Hailiang Niang and Sun Shangxiang don't like it either. They feel that the girl is a money-loser, and sooner or later she will be someone else's family.

So until the child was full moon, Hai Liangniang and Sun Shangxiang didn't bother to hug her, and sighed every time they saw her.

Sun Shangxiang felt that her daughter Yuzhu was unblessed and incapable, so why didn't she give birth to a son and a daughter?

For this granddaughter, she was one hundred and twenty dissatisfied.

But Wang Hailiang disagreed, saying that the girl was her father's little padded jacket, and her son was the enemy of her father's mother in her previous life. Giving birth to a son is equivalent to having one more debt collector, and giving birth to a daughter is equivalent to having one more debt collector.

Finding that Hailiang didn't blame her, Yuzhu's heart was a little comforted. They married their daughter a nice name, called Lingling, because they hope that the child will grow up to be smart and spiritual.

Just after the New Year, Wang Hailiang couldn't sit still, and immediately discussed with Brother Da Tamming about further road construction plans, and he fell into a new busy.

Explosives and diesel were running out, they had to be replaced, many tools were worn out, and generators, drills, and rammers needed to be refurbished.

Sharpening the knife and cutting wood, Hailiang decided to tidy up all the tools smoothly, and started work after fifteen, so on the sixth day of the first month, he walked out of the mountain again.

He had just walked to the location of the small stone bridge at the head of the village, and suddenly, a voice behind him called out to him: "Brother Hailiang......"

The voice was like a gossamer, weak and powerless, similar to a mosquito that had been half-killed.

Hailiang turned around and looked at it, his brows furrowed again, it turned out that he was still Xiaoyan, the daughter-in-law of Ergou.

Xiaoyan got out of bed, and the child had just been miscarried for five or six days, and she couldn't sit still.

Hailiang said: "Xiaoyan, what's the matter? ”

Xiao Yan twitched and said, "Brother Hailiang, I beg you, can you take me out of the mountain?" In the entire Daliang Mountain, you are the only one who is familiar with the mountain road, and you are the only one who is not afraid of wild wolves, you can take me away......"

Wang Hailiang said: "No! I'll take you out of the mountains, Zhang Ergou still doesn't fight with me? Handle the affairs of the two of you yourself, don't get involved with me! ”

Xiao Yan was still the same, sobbed, and knelt down at Hailiang: "Brother Hailiang, sister, please beg you, be kind, I really can't stay anymore, I don't like Daliang Mountain, I want to go home." ”

"Then why did you come in the first place? The second dog pulled you hard? ”

Xiaoyan said: "No, I volunteered at the beginning, but I didn't expect that Daliangshan would be so poor, and Ergou would be so uncompetitive, I regret it, okay?" ”

Hailiang said: "Xiaoyan, Daliang Mountain will not be poor forever, it will get better and better day by day in the future, you and Ergou live a good life, believe me Wang Hailiang, one day I will make Daliang Mountain as prosperous as the city, the people of the city no longer cherish the city, I want them to run to Daliang Mountain." ”

Xiao Yan said: "Brother Hailiang, I believe in you, but I can't wait...... Decade? Twenty years? Or thirty years? I was old at that time. As long as you take me out of Daliang Mountain, I am willing to give you anything, including my body......"

Xiao Yan said as she pounced, hugged Wang Hailiang's neck violently, and leaned her body against him.

The woman wants to trade with her body, praying to Hailiang to take her out of the mountain.

Wang Hailiang was so frightened that he shuddered and quickly pushed Xiao Yan away.

"Sister, don't be like this, I won't take you away, I don't deal with Ergou, but I won't be as tasteless as him."

Xiao Yan said: "Brother Hailiang, I know that you are a good person, you can not take me away, can you borrow me some money." ”

"What do you want money for?"

"I want to walk out of Daliang Mountain by myself, and it's hard to walk an inch without money."

Wang Hailiang is in trouble again, lend her this money, in case Xiaoyan leaves, he will become an accomplice, Zhang Ergou must find him desperately.

Don't lend it to her, the woman's pitiful appearance makes him unable to refuse.

After hesitating for a moment, Hailiang finally reached into his pocket: "Okay, how much do you borrow?" ”

The woman said, "Fifty, fifty pieces will do, and I will pay you back later." ”

Hailiang had no choice but to take out fifty yuan and prepare to hand it to Xiaoyan.

Xiao Yan stretched out her hand, knowing that the hands of the two people had not yet touched, suddenly, a big hand stretched out next to her, and with a click, knocked down the money in Wang Hailiang's hand.

A woman's body was in the middle of Wang Hailiang and Xiaoyan, and it turned out to be Aunt Da Xuan, that is, Ergou's mother.

Aunt Da Shuan glared, forked her waist, and said angrily at Wang Hailiang: "Wang Hailiang! Are you full? Be nosy!! Want to help Xiaoyan escape? The old lady fought with you! ”

Wang Hailiang and Xiaoyan didn't know where Aunt Da Bolt came from.

It turned out that when Xiaoyan went out, Aunt Da Xuan had been following behind, afraid that her daughter-in-law would escape, just like taking care of the prisoner.

Wang Hailiang smiled embarrassedly: "Auntie, don't be careful, I don't have anything else, I just want to help Xiaoyan." ”

Aunt Da Bolt said angrily: "You fart! Why does my daughter-in-law want you to help? What do you mean by hugging so tightly? Do you want to take advantage?

Wang Hailiang, I sue you, if you help Xiaoyan go, the old lady will hang herself at the door of your house, and she won't let you go!

The old lady will pester you when she dies, sleep between you and Yuzhu at night, so that the two of you can't do anything, I will fucking suffocate you!! ”

Wang Hailiang was frightened again, and said in his heart, my mother, Aunt Da Bolt is powerful enough.

Before Hailiang understood what was going on, Aunt Da Xuan had already taken Xiao Yan's hand and returned home angrily. Hailiang was left alone in a daze under the old locust tree.

Aunt Da Xuan pulled Xiao Yan home, pushed the woman into the house, and closed the door again, this time unlocked.

With the lesson of the last time, the mother and son of the second dog no longer dared to do anything with Xiaoyan, nor did they dare to move a finger from her. But he took care of her like a prisoner.

No matter where Xiao Yan goes, Aunt Da Shu will follow behind.

The woman sleeps at night, the big bolt aunt is guarding outside, and the woman goes to the toilet, and she follows. When the woman went to the street, she followed, and the woman went to the river to wash her clothes, and she accompanied her.

The woman was making the soles of her shoes in the West House, and Aunt Da Bolt was weaving in the North House, and the direction of the loom was also towards the door of the West House.

Light, light, Aunt Da Bolt was weaving, and her eyes were still looking at the door of the Westinghouse.

If Xiaoyan didn't come out, she continued to weave, and as soon as Xiaoyan walked out of the house, she immediately stopped weaving and put on her shoes and came out.

She was always letting the woman escape, and she greeted everyone in the village, not allowing anyone to lend Xiao Yan a penny, nor allowing anyone to take Xiao Yan out of the mountain, otherwise she would fight with anyone.

Xiaoyan was completely isolated in Daliang Mountain, with no friends or relatives, and everyone was afraid of offending Zhang Ergou when they saw her.

The people of Daliang Mountain are close and close, and compared with the neighbors, a woman outside the mountain is not worthy of their enthusiasm.

People's indifference and insensitivity made Xiaoyan's heart as cold as ice, but this did not dampen her hope of escaping from the mountain, and she was always looking for an opportunity.

Wang Hailiang left the mountain, and Xiaoyan's hopes were temporarily half shattered, so she decided to take a risk and continue to borrow money from others.

On this day, Xiaoyan walked out of the house and came to Zhang Kidnapper's house, and Aunt Da Xuan followed out again, still staring at her from a distance.

Xiao Yan has been observing for a long time, and feels that Zhang Guizi is honest and sincere, and he should be able to borrow money from him.

Zhang's life has not been easy at all, and he has aged a lot lately, even though he is only in his thirties.

A year ago, his daughter-in-law died, and on that day, his woman Feng Chime carried her child less than a week old up the mountain to hunt pigweed, and was driven into the valley by a wild wolf, and the body of the mother and son was gone.

His second brother Jianjun followed Wang Hailiang to build a road, encountered a squib, was blown up by a rock, and also fell apart.

The tragic death of his son, daughter-in-law and younger brother almost didn't make Zhang Jiaozi mad, and after half a year, his love gradually recovered.

Wang Hailiang was worried that Zhang Guizi would feel sad, so he found him a job and said: "Brother Guizi, it is not easy for you to be a disabled person, it is better for you to open a sales agency in the village, and our transportation team can help you buy goods from outside the mountain."

Moreover, there is no consignment point in the village, and after the goods from outside the mountain come in, you can sell them on consignment, which will not only be convenient for the masses in Daliang Mountain, but you will also feed yourself. ”

Wang Hailiang asked Zhang Guizi to open a sales agency to take care of his life, and also to facilitate the masses in Daliangshan.

Sure enough, Zhang Guizi's consignment point opened, he sold things while helping people get haircuts, his craftsmanship was good, the price was fair, and people from ten miles and eight towns in Daliang Mountain came to him to buy things, cut hair, and make a lot of money. Even more than the people who work in the mountains earn.

Zhang Guizi and Wang Hailiang's ancestors are old friends, and the relationship has always been good, and their generation still takes care of each other and respects each other.

Xiaoyan took a fancy to this, so she pinned her last hope on Zhang Guizi.
