The day ended with the villagers' discussions.

The third girl scolded from morning to dark. The door of Huzi's house never opened. Liu'er's house also locked the door, and from time to time there was an intermittent faint cry.

There was no one walking in the alley, only ignorant children walking through the alley, laughing like silver bells.

The next day, just after dawn, Zhao Shen's footsteps came from outside, and Zhao Lan opened her sleepy eyes. The old wooden beams are still visible, not the white ceilings.

Zhao Lan sighed secretly in her heart, then stretched out the quilt with both hands and wiped her face vigorously, then stretched out and got up.

When I got up, I couldn't sleep anymore, and I always wanted to sleep when I first came. After two months, I didn't want to sleep anymore, but I got up early at night and woke up early in the morning, where can I still sleep. The body is the most honest, and Zhao Lan's body clock has been adjusted in two months. As for the heart, it's all sad to say, so it's okay not to say it.

Zhao Lan, who got up early, finished washing up and walked to the hill behind the courtyard. Don't cook Zhao Lan for breakfast, Zhao Lan occasionally makes a dish. Every day when she gets up, Zhao Lan goes to the small mound behind the house to go around, which can be regarded as exercise. The small mound is almost full of half-sized trees and weeds, and there are not many useful things, such as trees, mushrooms, herbs, game, etc., so everyone does not like to come to this small mound, and they all go directly to the hill behind the mound from the east end of the village. The west end of the village is also good, but the road is difficult to walk. After passing through the mountains from the east of the village a few times, Zhao Lan did not go again. First, when I first came, my physical strength couldn't keep up, and I was out of breath when I climbed a little, and my calves trembled when I went down the mountain; The second is because Zhao Lan spends all her time picking up stones and paving the ground and planting flowers.

The mound is not big, about the size of two or three football fields, and the height is probably less than 100 meters. Because Zhao Lan has been walking almost every day in the past two months, she has also walked out of the way.

Zhao Lan has to walk on a trip almost every morning to exercise. Good physical fitness is very important, and the security in ancient times is definitely not as good as in modern times. If you meet a bad person, you may be fated. If there is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it is too important to have a good body. Even if you are fighting, you can run fast and far!

Zhao Lan went down the mountain with the first rays of sunshine in the morning, the morning breeze blowing coolly on her face, and the fresh air lingered on the tip of her nose. In the distant village, smoke rises from the cooking smoke, and the sound of roosters crows from time to time. There wasn't much walking in the alley yet.

As soon as he turned the corner into the alley, he heard a woman's sharp cry, and the direction seemed to be Liu'er's house. This was followed by high and low cries of miserable cries.

Not good!

Zhao Lan's heart sudden.

Immediately, Zhao Lan opened her legs and ran quickly towards Liu'er's house, and there was also a woman not far in front of her who ran quickly towards the place where the sound came from.

Zhao Lan quickly caught up with the woman in front, it was Aunt Liu who was separated by two families, and she was running out of breath.

"It seems to be Liu'er's house, Lan Wazi, you can run and see what's going on?" Aunt Liu has a bucket waist and runs like a pile of meat moving slowly. Aunt Liu stopped, took a breath, and pointed to the location of the village entrance and said eagerly.

"Hey!"

Zhao Lan hurriedly agreed, and continued to run towards Liu'er's house without stopping.

Liu Er lives in front of the village. It's not too close to running over.

When Zhao Lan ran to the door, she heard someone in front of her say eagerly: "Hurry up and invite Langzhong!" "Hurry up and invite Langzhong!" "I'm going to please, Ah Rong is going to please." "What now?" "Wait for Langzhong, what else can I do. I don't know when it's coming. "Just wait." ……

Liu'er's house was in a mess, and there were already more than a dozen people in the courtyard, all of them with anxious expressions and noisy discussions, surrounding the door of the hall, but no one stepped forward, just talking about each other, and couldn't hear what they were saying.

Zhao Lan vigorously pushed aside the villagers gathered at the door and walked inside.

Liu'er's father squatted on the side, his head drooping, and a little boy stood behind Liu'er's father with a frightened face. Liu'er's mother was paralyzed on the ground, bursting into tears, her hands kept patting the ground, her head, face, hands, and body were covered with mud, and she kept crying: "My Liu'er, why can't you think about it!" ”

"It's all to blame! It's all to blame. Why can't you figure out jumping into the river? ”

"Liu'er! Oh my willow! ”

……

Aunt Zhang, as well as two women Zhao Lan didn't know, squatted next to Liu Er's mother, and kept persuading Liu Er's mother.

Liu Er was lying on the side wet, with aquatic plants on her clothes, water dripping down from her body from time to time, her eyes were closed, her face was pale and blue, and no one dared to step forward.

This is a jump into the river and was rescued.

Zhao Lan took a few steps forward, pulled over the stool in the hall, held Liu'er's arm, hung face down on the stool, and slapped Liu'er's back with her hand.

"What are you doing? Don't touch her. An aunt hurriedly saw Zhao Lan's movements

Shouted at Zhao Lan.

Many people's eyes were drawn to the shouting.

"Lan girl, what are you doing here?" "I don't know."

Before the others stepped forward, they saw Liu Er spitting dirty water out of her mouth.

"Look, it's spitting."

Someone in the crowd shouted. The voice only paused for a moment, seeing that Liu Er had no other reaction except to spit water. The noise rang out again.

"Will this work? The year before last, Liu Erwa fell into the river and didn't live. A slender voice said.

"That's, Zhao Dazhuang's Guliang? What is she doing? Don't get into trouble. It's hard to explain. Speaking in a dark voice, Zhao Lan glanced at an old woman with a kind face.

"I don't know, but I'm spitting out. I don't know if it will work out. Another soft, worried voice said.

"It's difficult, nine out of ten people who jumped into the river died. Some are so pitiful that they can't even find their bodies, and some are so soaked that they don't know what to become. It's miserable! A shrill voice.

"I think it's hanging." A deep voice echoed.

"Yes, this jumping into the river! I really jumped down and died after a while. Fortunately, she was seen by Zhao Xiaoming, who got up early to fetch water by the river, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to find the body. The river is going down, and the water is in a hurry. "This voice is so neutral that it's hard to hear it.

"Yes, Liu Erwa fell into the water, and a few babies came back to shout for a while, and they didn't survive if they were rescued." The shrill voice just now continued.

"Yes, yes, Liu Dashan's head was still on it when he went to save it. I didn't save it. A few people then chimed in. It seems that there are many people who know about this.

"Shhhh A soft voice reminded.

I don't know who glanced back and lowered his voice to remind. Several people talking about it looked back in unison, Liu Erwa's grandmother with white hair, frowning and standing behind the crowd, looking at the crying Li Quanshi and shaking her head, her face was very sad.

"This girl is also a fierce person, why can't she think of jumping into the river?"

"You don't know! Liu Er was pregnant with Huzi's species, but Huzi and Sanya were married. This is not the Huzi family, there is no explanation. ”

"When it happened, how I don't know."

"Yo! Just the day before yesterday. Everyone in the village has heard about it, are you not at home? ”

"Gone relatives. Last night, I just came back. What do you mean by that? ”

"No, Huzi's house didn't open last day."

"Then what about this Liu'er?"

"This Liu'er too, can this thing be done? If you die, you will be innocent. ”

"This can't be said like that, it's a life anyway, if Huzi can marry her, it makes sense."

"It's hard to say, Sanya's mother said that the gift money for the marriage will not be refunded, and the Huzi family can give up so much money. If you can't bear it, tsk, it's hard to say. ”

"Who's to say it isn't."

"So this woman can't make a mistake." Someone lamented.

"Yes, yes."

Grandma Zhang on the side interjected: "It was dark last night, I saw someone coming over, and I stayed for a while and then went out."

"And here's the thing." Several people looked at Grandma Zhang.

"Hmmm! I stayed for a while, and when Li was leaving, his face was not good-looking. This is ...... according to the village rules."

……

Several women huddled to the side and gossiped. or caring or pitiful or mocking......

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Hey!" "Hey! Look, Liu Er seems to be angry. ”

"Gas, really?"

Everyone stopped talking, only Liu'er's mother was crying and crying so sad that she didn't notice Liu'er's movement. Many people craned their necks to look in, while the people behind them pushed and shouted to look ahead.

"Ahem!"

Liu'er's cough was clearly audible.

Liu Er, who coughed twice, suddenly leaned over and vomited a lot of water, and her body was crooked to the side with the cough.

The villagers stood in the back to take a look, and the people in front were pushed to stumble and stand unsteadily, and some well-wishers were about to tell Li Quan's Liu Er that he was awake when a man shouted loudly outside the door.

"Let's go."

"Let's go, Lang Zhong is here."

"Lang Zhong is here."

The people in the back had already made the way, and the people in front were still surprised by Liu'er's cough.

"Wake up, belch! Look, Liu Er is awake. The middle-aged woman in blue poked her elbow at the older woman in brown next to her.

"I'm really awake!" The brown-clad woman stared in surprise and couldn't close her mouth.

"Liu'er's mother, look, Liu'er is awake." Aunt Zhang, who was standing next to Li Quan, pushed Li Quanshi, who was still whimpering, with her hand and told her loudly.

"Are you awake?" Li Quan's face was even dirtier, with a lot of snot and tears, and he asked in a trance, "Who woke up?"

"Your Liu'er is awake." Aunt Zhang said loudly.

"My Liu'er? Awake? Li Quanshi suddenly came back to his senses and crawled towards Liu'er: "Liu'er, Liu'er, are you awake?"

"Wake up, wake up, wake up." Many people said with emotion.

"My Liu'er!"

Liu'er's mother hurriedly rushed to Liu'er.

Before he arrived, he saw Lang Zhong squatting down with a box on his back and helping Liu Er up.

"Langzhong, do I have Liu'er?" Liu'er's mother, who was half-kneeling on the ground, grabbed Langzhong's box and asked Langzhong eagerly.
