Linhe Village, near the Chi River and backed by green mountains. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The village is not large, with more than 100 households.

It was noon, and smoke was wafting from the chimneys of each house.

People in the countryside have never been in the habit of living with closed doors, and at this time of year, the outside of the house feels slightly warmer than the cold inside.

So, after adding a few handfuls of wood to the pot and boiling the water, the women who knew how to live would stop adding fire, and went out of the house again, talking about the shortcomings of the east and the west.

At this time, a sharp-eyed woman saw from a distance that there was blue and white smoke coming out of the chimney of the lonely grass house on the back mountain, and said strangely: "Huh? Why did the house of Liu Laobo's house also catch fire? ”

The women who were talking with her looked at her, and sure enough, the hut on the hill was smoking at noon, so they echoed: "Yes, yes, since his father lost his two children and went to the army again, the house has not been lit for a few days." ”

"Huh? Isn't that Liu Laobo? I'll ask! It was the sharp-eyed woman who was the first to discover the Lord.

"Ouch, second brother, where are you? Why is your little house on the hill still smoking? Do you have a guest in your house? Is your house not enough to live in? "The woman called someone a nickname behind her back, but in front of her face she had already called the ranking of people among her brothers like a god, if a Chinese character is a bullet, then this woman's mouth must be a crooked handle if not a Czech, and she can speak a quick word.

But she asked the right person today, because she asked Liu Laobo, who is as famous as his name.

That Liu Lao looked like he was in his forties but looked like he was almost fifty, he was blocked by the woman with the knife mouth, as if he was blinded by the bullets that burst out of her mouth in an instant, as if it took a while to react that the other party was asking himself, and then said: "I saved a girl by the river in the morning." ”

After saying this, he bypassed the woman who was standing in front of him, who spoke like a gun, but he went to the grass hut on the hill with his head in his head down.

"I asked for a long time before I said a word, and the three bars can't press a boring donkey, just like his dead father!" The woman looked at Liu Lao's boring back and snorted angrily.

"Isn't that right? What did Liu Lao Bo say just now? But in a moment, the woman remembered that she had asked about the matter, and asked the daughters-in-law of the families who were watching her in the way.

The daughters-in-law were happy to see this long-tongued woman suffocating, and she was still snickering just now, when she turned her head and asked herself, she hid her smile and said seriously: "He said he saved a girl." ”

"Girl? Is the yellow flower girl? Liu Laoshi's two sons have gone to serve as soldiers, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead, why did he save his eldest daughter? Waste! Why don't we go and see after dinner, my little treasure doesn't have a daughter-in-law yet! So saying, the woman turned and went into the house in a hurry, as if she were really going to rob her daughter-in-law.

The woman's performance made the daughters-in-law next to her pout, and one of them also said, "Demonic disease!" ”

Because the woman's son Xiaobao has been a bit stupid since he was a child, two years ago, a national army passing by here came to recruit soldiers and did not take a fancy to him, it is said that the commander of the national army at that time was afraid that this guy who could not even distinguish between the front and the back and the left and the right would pit his brother to death after going to the battlefield.

Murong Pei woke up to the sound of a woman's chatter, but she didn't open her eyes immediately.

The dizziness had already lightened, and although she was hungry, she really didn't want to open her eyes and listen to what the woman who spoke like a gun was saying about her.

"Tsk, this girl is so handsome, look at that little face is as white as a fine porcelain piece!"

Murong Pei knew that the melon skin that was soaked in water on his face must have fallen early, but although he looked white, he was miserable white now, right? Even if you are hungry and frozen, it will be good for anyone!

"Tsk, this girl is not short, if she marries our family's Xiaobao, the child born will be a big one!"

What is this? Even having a baby was designed for me.

"By the way, I really have to see it for myself"

And immediately after that, Murong Pei felt that the corners of the quilt covering his chest moved, and then he heard a "snap", but it was the sound of skin and flesh being patted, and then the woman called out very exaggeratedly, "Liu Laobo, why are you beating me?!" ”

A man's voice rang out: "This girl was excited by cold water, her brain was so hot that she was almost able to make a cake, why are you lifting the quilt?" ”

Murong Pei was very grateful in her heart, although the corner of the quilt only moved a little just now, the cold wind that got into the quilt still made her shiver involuntarily, and the goosebumps on her deep body brushed the ground again.

But at this moment, the woman's answer really made her angry, and the woman said, "I just want to see if she is big enough to have a child in the future?" ”

Murong Pei heard this, his fingers moved involuntarily, and he instantly had an urge to pull out the gun and kill her!

As soon as she thought of the gun, Murong Pei's heart instantly tightened, she almost opened her eyes, where was the gun?

Then she remembered that she had woken up in the middle, and that the gun had been placed in the second floor of the broken table.

The person who saved himself obviously saw his gun but didn't move, and obviously didn't have any idea about the gun, and now that there are more people in the house to save him, he should put it away.

When Murong Pei put his mind at ease, it was when the man who spoke just now was angry, and it was obvious that this woman who spoke and behaved in the same way had already angered him.

He said one word: "Get out!" ”

It was obvious that the woman was afraid of this man, and whispered "Get out, get out, what are you staring at?" Ouch! Don't pull me by the collar! ”

Then the sound of hurried footsteps started, and the woman actually trotted out, presumably because her mouth was too cheap to let people throw her neck and collar out!

Let this woman make a fuss, and the other women will be embarrassed, and they will leave one after another after saying a few random words.

"Girl, get up and drink some mushy porridge." Then a warm-sounding voice whispered.

When Murong Pei opened his eyes, he saw a peasant woman in her forties playing with a steaming bowl of corn paste with chopsticks in an attempt to make it cool faster.

And a man who looked older was sitting on a stool in a muffled voice, and there was a sigh of anger, and it was evident that this man was the owner of the house where the woman had just been brought in, and who should be his savior.

"Where's my—the gun?" When Murong Pei spoke, he wanted to find that his voice was so hoarse and startled, but the gun couldn't help but ask.

The man who was sulking saw Murong Pei talking and looked for a gun, obviously mentally prepared, but he stood up and put the stool he was sitting on under the beam of the room, and then stood on the stool himself, stretched out his hand, but took down a hanging basket from the beam.

The woman took the basket and put it in front of Murong Pei and spread out the burden again, Murong Pei got up and stretched his neck to see that the gun and bullet pouch were still intact, and then she was relieved, but she glanced at the simple couple with gratitude in her eyes, she knew that she would meet a good person again!

The man whispered, "Son," and hung the basket back on the beam, and then said three more words: "There are too many people." ”

The woman obviously knew that her husband had always talked little, so she hurriedly explained to Murong Pei: "Girl, don't worry, the gun is fine, my two sons are in the national army." ”

Then she had already brought the bud rice paste that had cooled down a little and sent it to Murong Pei.

She saw Murong Pei getting up hard but glaring at her husband, so the man hurriedly stepped forward to help Murong Pei up, but he felt that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly took the rice bowl in the woman's hand.

When the hot bud rice paste was drunk by Murong Pei from his throat and let the warmth iron his stomach, Murong Pei suddenly cried, because in his impression, he was only sick once, and his mother took care of herself by the bedside like this.
