Chapter 120: Substitute for the Head
There was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in Widow Xu's yard, the sharp scolding of women, and the sound of chairs and benches falling to the ground, causing people who didn't know the inside story to run outside the courtyard gate one after another, tiptoeing to try to see the situation in the courtyard. But the high wall built on the grounds that the widow lived alone blocked the sight of a curious person. But the more this happens, the more curious people become, and the more they can't see it, the more it can trigger countless associations. Just when people were jumping up and down in a hurry, the courtyard door opened, and out came Dongfang Bai, who was smiling, and Jing Hao, who couldn't tell what expressions they were.
Two big men suddenly came out of the widow's door? The crowd buzzed and began to talk.
"Isn't it, two men and one woman?" Some people began to think in that direction, after all, the words widow and man appear at the same time, so it is not strange that people think crookedly.
"Blind, look at the clothes of others, what kind of woman can't be found, and you have to pick a widow?" There are some people who are a little bit of a brain, and besides, no matter how much you can't wait, you don't have to be in broad daylight, and then look at how people have a little weak heart?
"Maybe how many people have used it." is a little disgusted, I must know a little bit of the inside story, and I look down on Widow Xu.
"Hehe, maybe people like this?" There are also people who stir up trouble.
"Nonsense, I obviously heard a woman's voice, probably because she was broken into rape and love, and people came to the door to theorize." There were different voices in the crowd, "Have you forgotten the exciting news we heard outside Li Dahai's courtyard gate last time?" Not only did he agree, but he also reasoned a more reasonable analysis.
"I really remember when you mentioned it, and there really is such a thing. I remember that night there was a commotion between several families in the tunzi, and I went to fight it. Scratched on the face by. The old man didn't dare to go out for several days. "Someone came forward to second, and put forward stronger follow-up evidence.
"Flies don't bite seamless eggs. This widow Xu is really a bit of a problem. ”
"It's not a little, it's big. Which daughter-in-law do you see whose face is comparable to hers? Someone moisturizes it every night. Of course it's different. This is too straightforward, not only men understand, but who doesn't understand being a daughter-in-law? They all blushed and didn't dare to scold out loud. I looked down and saw the ignorant child with a puzzled face, and hurriedly drove the child home, but I didn't move to see what was going on.
Who said that men don't gossip, gossip is more powerful than women. The widow has always been able to tell right and wrong in front of the door, not to mention that she is still a young, beautiful and rich widow, which man can not be careful? Every time I walked behind the widow. Some people peeked at their wives when they weren't paying attention, looked at the round and straight buttocks, and swallowed their saliva. In the eyes of men, stealing is one thing, stealing or not is another, it doesn't matter if they are lucky or not, but it doesn't hinder their enthusiasm for it.
The people in the tunzi guessed vigorously, but they forgot about Dongfang Bai and Jing Hao, the two direct parties involved in today's incident. However, they were not in a hurry to leave, but stood aside as if waiting for someone.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have thrown my umbrella around. It's broken, it's broken, and it can still keep out the rain. If you look at the people in this area, we're all bareheaded. Dongfang Bai whispered to Jing Hao and complained. His white clothes are fireproof and dustproof, but they are not waterproof, and a drop of water is a mark. The color is ugly. There was no place to hide from the rain nearby, so he couldn't take the initiative to get under someone else's umbrella. If you look closely, almost all of the people who hold umbrellas are women. If he dodged, the fists that fell on him would have killed him halfway.
Hear the words of those men just now. Dongfang Bai was speechless, what is this. He is only here to get the silver back, so he can't lose his horse and give ten taels of silver to the culprit. You see, they can all want to go to the edge of the sky and eat enough.
Dongfang Bai saw that Jing Hao ignored him, and immediately stabbed the latter with his elbow, and said dissatisfiedly: "Speak, pretend to be deep." You don't talk to me, and I look like a fool talking to myself. ”
Jing Hao took a step beside him, and then reached out and patted the place Dongfang Bai touched just now, without even throwing a glance at Dongfang Bai, and said, "Don't touch me, lest the pollen you provoke be unkind to me." ”
"Hey, it turns out that you're eating my brother's vinegar. Brother knows that a talent like Brother can't show its uniqueness if it doesn't attract jealousy. Dongfang Bai suddenly took a step after him in a good mood and patted Jing Hao's shoulder, "Don't worry, you won't be the last, just get used to it." ”
Rao is trying his best to clear up the relationship Jing Hao almost couldn't help but smash his fist on Dongfang Bai's face, looking at that proud face, if Dongfang Bai had a tail, now he would be able to go to the sky. Thinking about Jing Hao, it's a little sour, well, men rely on strength to conquer women, Dongfang Bai is good, a cheeky skin eats all over the world, and women who go forward and succeed each other stand up for him.
He almost looked at the sky at forty-five degrees again, and sighed with a dark sorrow: Why is there such a big gap between people?
The courtyard door was opened again, and a woman with her disheveled hair appeared in sight with her back to everyone, and before she could see her face clearly, she was seen dodging to the side, and then a washing stick was thrown outside the courtyard gate, and she was thrust into the mud. It can be seen how hard the people inside have exerted themselves and how resentful they are against the woman who knocked on the door. It also shows how angry the widow is, stealing other people's men, and being blocked by the door, which one can not be weak-hearted?
The woman outside dodged the fatal throw, quickly glanced at the crowd with a casual look, and poked her head out of the courtyard door, shouting: "Widow Xu, you shameless woman, seeing that two young people are not good at dealing with you as a widowed person, you and your concubine partner to steal other people's horses, we Li Jiatun don't have such eyelids as you......"
Before he finished speaking, a broom flew over again, and the woman outside hurriedly dodged sideways, and when the danger was lifted, she continued to finish what she had just said: "The sass, the goods." ”
Because of this large side face movement, someone recognized the woman with a cloak, pointed at her and said, "Ah, isn't that Qiya?" ”
"It's really a seven."
"Why did Qiya quarrel with Widow Xu?"
"What's the matter, Qiya stands out for two foreign men?"
A new round of whispering unfolded among the women again. This time, no one went to Dongfang Bai and Jing Hao, and they all looked at them. However, the women are a little disdainful of Dongfang Bai and Jing Hao in the crowd, who look like people. In case of trouble, he still wants a woman to come out, but he is just a man who hides behind a woman and eats soft rice. The man's gaze at the two of them was full of petty jealousy and envy of shit luck. Why aren't they the ones who are protected? But when the facts have come true, the good fortune has nothing to do with them. Men and women are surprisingly in agreement:
Bah! Little white face.
Jing Hao turned a blind eye to the eyes around him, and he didn't look at his face, what did he have to worry about? Those who are clear are self-purifying, and I am too lazy to spend more saliva with you.
Dongfang Bai was a little angry, it was Qiya who ran up and took the initiative to help, what did it matter to him? What kind of eyes do you have, and dare to despise me?
Qiya realized that the people in the tunzi had misunderstood the relationship between them, so she stomped her feet in anger and explained, "Don't guess. I just pulled out my sword to help when I saw injustice. I'm helping my relatives or not, they are guests of our tunzi, and they are not some heinous bad people, why do we treat people like this? Besides, pit other people's property, is this what our people in Tunzi should do? ”
"How do you know that I have cheated on someone else's property, which eye do you see?" At some point, he appeared at the gate of the courtyard, leaning sideways against the door frame with his arms folded, and stepping on the threshold with one foot. A red embroidered shoe is revealed. There were blood marks on her face and neck from the scratches of her fingernails, and her loose hair was pulled behind her ears, revealing a pitiful face, "I am a powerless woman." has no husband again, and if he wants to grow old safely in the tunzi, he has to rely on the help of the old and young masters in the tunzi, the aunts and daughters-in-law. Always be kind to others. Never provoke right and wrong......"
"What about the last time I ran to someone's door to make trouble? Is it a small day? Someone couldn't get used to Widow Xu's appearance of pretending to be pitiful and sympathetic, so she asked out loud. Go without saying. It was this little pitiful appearance that provoked the male protection of the men one by one, thinking that he was sent by the Bodhisattva who rescued the suffering to rescue innocent and weak women. On the contrary, he is not used to his wife. Dislike is neither gentle nor dressed.
Someone in the crowd immediately laughed. It was nearly noon, and everyone who had returned from the fields was ready to go home for lunch. Most of the people have to pass under the old locust tree in the middle of the tunzi, seeing that there are so many people around here, many people suddenly stop and watch, and there are more and more people around the guide. Someone whispered about the highlights he missed, and it was as lively as a New Year's holiday.
"A girl's family, open her mouth and close her mouth to the widow's cry"
"Aren't you a widow?" Qiya asked in a low voice.
There was another burst of laughter in the crowd.
"Isn't it, you're a widow, and people are calling it wrong?"
The widow can choose to ignore other people's words, but how can she ignore Qiya, who is regarded as an opponent by Widow Xu? If it weren't for this girl who only had men in her eyes and rushed in to make a scene, how could she be ridiculed like this? Fortunately, today's good ones of her didn't come to steal in broad daylight, otherwise how would she see people if she was bumped into? Widow Xu made up her mind to teach Qiya a big lesson.
"It's true that I'm a widow, but do you think I'm willing? Do I have a choice? I am not the only widow in the tunzi, you can be polite to others, why do you call me a widow alone, this is not intentionally aimed at me? People are pulling on my head, and I can't say a word yet? Widow Xu's eyes were red, her voice was a little choked, her body trembled slightly, and it seemed that she had to hold on to the door frame with one hand to keep standing, and she vividly played the image of a widow who dared to be angry and dare not speak after being wronged. She sniffed and continued: "Besides, what's wrong with the widow, the widow should be wronged, and she should be silent?" What concubines, sluts, and ugly words are thrown around me, should I just suffer without saying a word? Who do I owe to you to slander me like this? Don't forget, your mother is also a widow, what position do you take to say this about me?! ”
There was silence in the crowd for a while, and I thought that Widow Xu's words still spoke to the hearts of these people. Yes, she can't help herself when she becomes a widow at a young age, and she blames her for a little trouble, is it because she is pitiful that she feels bullied?
Seeing that Widow Xu was getting farther and farther away, Qiya also pulled up the sympathy of most people, and immediately said urgently: "People live in the world, and it is easy to have a few of them, don't make you so pitiful, as if calling you a widow is bullying you." There is no wind in the air, whether there is a shadow or not, you know it yourself, don't act in the play. I'm not here to see you play the little white flower today, what do you say about other people's horses? ”
Dongfang Bai glanced at Qiya with some surprise, he didn't expect this girl to be able to say such in-depth words, and she could also hold her position, so as not to be led off topic by a few words from the widow.
Jing Hao snorted from his nose, clasped his arms in his hands, and although he didn't say a word, he seemed to agree with Qiya's words.
"What do you say, what do you want me to say, how do you explain it?" Originally, everyone was on her side, and the good atmosphere created was destroyed by Qiya's words, Widow Xu said a little angrily.
"If you sell someone's horse, you'll lose money."
"When did you see me selling someone's horse?" Widow Xu asked: "The Yamen still has to put up evidence, don't sue me, you will guess." ”
Qiya has no evidence, but after hearing Dongfang Bai say a few words, she will be upset for it, in her opinion, how could a noble son of Dongfang Bai's status accuse a woman of a Taoist family because of a horse? I don't need it at all. "If you lose your horse at home, shouldn't you pay for it?"
Widow Xu was overjoyed when she heard this, this is a stupid girl, she actually fought with her, and she fought for so long. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Do you blame me for selling someone's horse or losing the horse and asking me for compensation?" ”
"Aren't they all the same? The horses left in your house are gone. Qiya bit her lip, she also found that her words seemed to be a little untenable, why did she quarrel with others here because of one or two sentences? Qiya couldn't help but glance at Dongfang Bai in the crowd, and felt a little relieved, fortunately he was still there, and he saw all her efforts.
"Of course not." Widow Xu smiled: "You don't know anything at all, so you insist that I have cheated other people's horses, and I can go to the yamen to sue you for slander." But if I lose my horse and ask me to compensate for it, I am not in charge of the horses for business, nor do I ask someone to park the horse at my house, and I still have to build forage for the horse when I put it here, should I pay for it? ”
Qiya was silent.
"I've seen that horse!" (To be continued......)
