At that time, the girl's father would lead an animal and go from house to house to ask for water, and everyone knew that the girl was going to get married, so they poured their own water into the bucket on the animal. In order to let his daughter take a good bath, the old father had to walk dozens of miles of mountain roads, and the back and forth had to be delayed for several hours.

The old father was going to boil the water for the bath this time. The pot stove in the northwest is very large, and the large iron pot can boil a small half bucket of water at a time. When my father boiled water, my mother would take out the big wooden bucket in the house and wash it well, and wipe the inner wall clean with a towel, leaving no dead corners. The daughter quietly looked at the busy figure of her parents, this was the last enjoyment he enjoyed in her mother's house before marrying another woman. The water boiled, and the father continued to pour hot water into the large wooden barrel one by one. The mist kept drifting out of the barrel. The father looked at his daughter affectionately, but he didn't know how to express his feelings, but he looked at his daughter so affectionately, the barrel was full, and the father walked out of his daughter's boudoir, and then sat in the yard and smoked a cigarette bag and pot. Halfway through, he will wake up his nose with his fingers and rub it on the bark of the tree on the side. It's hard to tell if the old father is crying or just having a runny nose.

In the house, the daughters took off their clothes one by one, folded them neatly and put them on the bed. It was the last girl's dress she wore before she went out. After a while, after taking a shower, she will put on the new daughter-in-law's infrared suit. From a girl to a woman, taking this bath is a complete transformation.

The daughter sat in the wooden bucket, and the old mother scooped out the hot water from the bucket little by little, and gently rubbed her daughter's hair while pouring the hot water from her head. The next thing is to rub her back, and the old mother has an idea to let her daughter marry cleanly and generously. But her daughter's mood is much more complicated when she takes a bath, on the one hand, she is reluctant to her elderly parents, and this departure is like spilled water, and she has become someone else's family since then. On the other hand, he had never met the man who was going to be his husband, whether the man was high or low, fat or thin, whether he had pockmarks on his face, whether he walked with a limp or not, and she didn't know what if he did. No matter what, she wants to live this life with this man. Even if this man's middle way dies, she will have to guard the widowhood for the rest of her life, and it has been like this for thousands of years, and it has never changed.

The mother seems to see her daughter's concerns, but what can she do? That's not how she's lived in her life. She couldn't bear to tell her daughter all the hardships. I can only keep stroking my daughter's head with my hand to reassure my daughter and give her strength.

It was washed and dried, and the daughter changed into the outfit of a new daughter-in-law. She sat in front of the mirror and smeared her eyebrows with charcoal-fired wood to make them look heavier. He took out the red paper again and gently sipped it with his mouth, and the two thin lips were red and bright.

There was the sound of gongs and drums beating outside the house, and the daughter knew that it was time for her to get married. Before going out, I kowtowed to my mother three times to express my gratitude to my mother for her nurturing grace, and I am afraid that there will be no day when we will see each other. The mother turned her body to the side, unable to bear to separate.

The daughter walked out of the courtyard and slowly disappeared at the end of the dirt road to the sound of gongs and drums. The youngest son ran out from the side and threw himself into his mother's arms, complaining about why his mother married his sister so early.

The father angrily slapped his son's face and scolded sternly, "If you don't marry your sister, where will your boy's money come from to marry his daughter-in-law!" ”

Wu took a deep breath and ended the fugue in his mind. Let his imagination turn back to Hankou from the lonely northwest of the desert. He took off his towel and laid it out in the pool. He seems to be able to understand what Zhang Yiwan said to himself, what does a woman want in this life? With a stable life, her husband has always been by her side, and the family is happy.

The water in the pool gurgled and churned, and Wu was startled, "What's the matter, it's boiling!" ”

He stood up and walked out. I didn't take two steps before I felt my legs stumble over something, and just as I was about to pull out my feet, I was pulled into the water. For a moment, several hands pressed their heads to the floor in the pool, and Wu resisted desperately, but the person who suppressed him did not move. Since you can't abscond then resist desperately, Wu grabbed the necks of the black shadows with his hands and grabbed them fiercely in his arms, and everyone's heads were pressed against the floor in the pool.

A minute passed, two minutes passed, five minutes passed, and calm returned to the middle of the water. Wu leisurely got out of the water. In a few moments, three corpses floated from the water beneath his feet. Wu said disdainfully, "Damn, you still want to compare your lung capacity with me." Wu pulled back the mask of one of the men, and the man was covered in nothing but the mask.

Wu suddenly heard a noise outside, and it seemed that someone had come in.

Several masked killers in nightcoats walked in from the changing room with long knives. "How's that, did you kill this kid?"

There was a masked man standing by the pool, and he whispered, "This kid is so powerful, he killed all my brothers except me." He pointed to the pool.

The Mask Killer throws the knife into the masked man's hand. "I'll go down and take a look!"

There were three corpses floating in the pool, two with masks and one with nothing on their faces. The Mask Killer flipped through the man's body and shouted, "Not good. "Hurriedly turned his head and stared at the masked man." This is the person we want to kill. ”

Before the masked killer in the back could react, Wu had already brandished his long knife and started with them. Wu Jingya raised his long knife and slashed across the face of a masked killer. The mask split in half and fell to the ground, and half of the killer's head slowly slid to the ground.

Wu Jingya looked at the knife in his hand and said in admiration, "It's really a good knife!" ”

The remaining masked killers saw Wu kill his brother and shouted, "Ah, I'm going to kill you!" He raised the knife in his hand and pounced on Wu. But he ignored a problem, the floor in the bathhouse was very smooth, and Wu was wearing slippers on his feet, so the lower plate was very stable, but his shoes were not so non-slip, and he lost his balance as soon as he took a step and slid on the ground.

A triumphant smile appeared on Wu's face, "Hehe, come on!" ”

The Mask Killer danced, "Don't, don't, buddy, buddy. ”

Wu gently squatted down and slashed towards the comer's stomach, and with a "poof", the later masked killer collapsed in a pool of blood.
