Cause and Effect I 151
On both sides of the street and at the gates of their homes, there were men, women and children, some of whom were looking at the mother and son who were dragging the wolf carcass on the snow, and some were talking curiously, but they could not hold back the footsteps of the mother and son.
Tao Zhenzong's figure appeared in the crowd, and after the mother and son walked over, he ran towards Tao Zhenkun and Liu Xingmei, who were standing in front of the gate.
"Brother, you beat the wolf?"
Tao Zhenkun nodded blankly.
"Clever mechanism, one shot kills." On the contrary, Liu Xingmei looked a little proud.
"Is the unicorn copper lock on Want Wang's neck Miao Yunchang's?"
Liu Xingmei saw that Tao Zhenkun was absent-minded, so she told Tao Zhenzong about the story with relish.
After Tao Zhenzong heard this, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. It's so bizarre that it's like a legend in the Arabian Nights, it's hard to believe, but it can't be denied that it did happen, because there are so many people who can prove it to be true.
In short, this incident is wantonly exaggerated like a myth.
Everyone in the village knows that Miao Yunchang had four beloved treasures back then, one is a double-barreled shotgun, the second is a pure white horse, the third is a hunting dog chasing the wind, and the fourth is a domesticated falcon. After Miao Yunchang went out hunting and never returned, when people followed the eagle that flew back alone, they only found a skeleton and white bones near the "Hell Valley", and there were no animal marks left on the remnant snow blown by the storm, only a few pieces of torn clothes were seen, and the most powerful evidence was the double-barreled shotgun thrown aside, this seems to be an undoubted thing, who else could the victim be if it was not Miao Yunchang?!
And now the mighty horse has been sold, and the falcon is gone, leaving only the shotgun and the hound.
After watching the mother and son walk back with the wolf's corpse, Tao Zhenkun's mood began to become heavy and depressed. Seeing Wu He's sad look, he was soberly conscious, although Wu He gave him his body and mind, but he couldn't completely replace Miao Yunchang's position in Wu He's heart, he was just a substitute for a woman to talk about **, and strictly speaking in all aspects, the excellent Miao Yunchang is simply a rare character, how can he be compared with the vulgar? !
With comparison, he will have a sense of inferiority in his complacency.
When Liu Xingmei found out that he was unhappy, she asked, "What's wrong with you?" β
"What's wrong?"
"Crying with a sad face."
"There's nothing to be happy about!"
"Where did you get so many happy things!"
"You can't think of that, right?!"
"There are so many things I can't think of. Are you really generous? β
"What's wrong?"
Liu Xingmei said with a displeased face: "One mouth, as soon as the upper lip touches the lower lip, the whole wolf is given away." How many poor families with few jobs may not even be able to eat a bite of meat during the New Year, and if there is a wolf, they can have a good New Year. β
"The Miao family is not rich."
"Your family is richer than the Miao family? There are still pigs killed during the New Year!"
"I didn't mean that, I think this wolf has something to do with Brother Yunchang after all, so it's best to leave it to the Miao family to deal with. In addition, haven't you heard, how many people are worried about eating wolf meat, and when we put it in our house, I'm afraid that there will be more people and less meat, can we be swallowed by fart in the nest?! Although it is not enough to hold a banquet and entertain guests, but - not to mention anything else, can this neighbor not give it away? This is given to the Miao family, we can save trouble, and we can still have our share, what's the matter. β
Liu Xingmei smiled and said: "This is killing two birds with one stone, giving the Miao family a favor, and we won't be complained about because others didn't eat meat." β
"My smart wife, that's the right thing to think."
"It's justβ"
"Just what?"
"Will the people of the Miao family be able to eat this wolf meat?"
"Whether Brother Yunchang is eaten by wolves or other beasts, in short, eating wolf meat is also a way to relieve hatred, and he will definitely eat it."
"Sister He didn't even say anything to excuse herself!"
"Didn't you see that she was stupid at the time? Seeing the unicorn copper lock that Miao Yunchang often wore in the past, do you think about what her mood will be? Why don't you pick a reason! β
"Of course I can understand it, but Want Want this kid is not polite, he dragged the wolf and left, it's really justifiable!"
"What does a child know, he always seems simple and realistic, where there will be an adult's flowery intestines. But he is a child, and he also needs to understand, he thinks that his father was eaten by wolves, so he is full of hatred for wolves, and he can't wait to eat his flesh and sleep his skin! β
"You'll argue for them!"
"Do you eat wolf meat too?"
"I'm not a lady in fine clothes, not so picky, I don't eat anything in the sky except for the plane, I don't eat anything on the ground except for the four-legged bench, as long as it's delicious, I dare to eat it."
"So, you can be regarded as a blessed person?!"
"That is."
"Look, you're so excited that snot bubbles are coming out."
"you! You said that if you really have eaten human wolf meat, will people be disgusted if they eat it? β
"Whatever, as long as it's delicious, what's disgusting or not. Pigs and dogs both eat, don't you still eat the same flavor? Out of sight is pure! β
"Ho, too!"
Although Tao Zhenkun and Liu Xingmei were talking and laughing, he was also making a difficult face, because he was thinking about Wu He in his heart, and she must be very painful and sad under seeing things and thinking about people!
ββββββββ
In the afternoon, around three o'clock, because most people don't have a clock at home, they can only estimate the time by looking at the position of the sun. When Wangwang came, he was headless and out of breath and said:
"Uncle, did my mother let you go?"
Tao Zhenkun couldn't help but be stunned, and asked, "What's the matter?" β
"The wolf meat is cooked, tell you to go and get it!"
"Oh-" Tao Zhenkun's hanging heart was relaxed, because the wolf and the unicorn copper chain appeared in front of Miao Hanxiang and the old couple at the same time, and their thoughts would swell again, and it would be a painful torture. For older people, I'm afraid that I can't stand this sudden thing, because it's not a good thing, I don't know if I can bear it! In his heart, he even regretted that he suddenly decided to let the mother and son drag the wolf back.
Liu Xingmei asked: "There was a deep snow along the way, why did you come alone?" β
Want Want said: "Pick a shallow place to walk. β
After obtaining the consent of their mother, the couple took a large basin and went with Wangwang. Liu Xingmei wore Tao Zhenkun's fox fur hat, and Tao Zhenkun wore her father's sheepskin hat.
On the road that no one has cleared, there are indeed places where there is very deep snow, and it is really a big snowstorm, and the villages and trees are still shrouded in snow, even if the weather is good, it is not easy to melt quickly. When they saw a deep trace left by the mother and son dragging the wolf in the morning, forming a winding path, and there was a new string of children's footprints on the path, Tao Zhenkun and Liu Xingmei were shocked, and both of them had an indescribable feeling in their hearts, and the situation of the mother and son at that time was miserable and tragic.
When Liu Xingmei saw the Miao family in the distance, it really gave her the impression of "living in isolation", separated from the village, and built on a high hillside, which made people feel very lonely and depressed, she was as difficult as others to understand how Miao Yunchang chose to build a house in this kind of place, and the pattern and shape of the three earthen houses were not as good as the novel style of the Tao family, and it looked like a temple from a distance.
A son who lives alone away from his parents is already like this when he has no wife and son, is this really something that makes others wonder if it is due to a person's personality? If it is a character problem, then Miao Yunchang is too withdrawn, and there are no rumors in the village about the conflict between their father and son or mother and son, and some only praise Miao Yunchang, saying that he is a sensible and filial person. On the trail leading to the slopes of Miaojia Mountain, the thick layer of snow has been cleared. From a distance, the path looked like a dead snake stiffened after a writhing dance.
As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I could see a leather hanging on the clothes pole, like a flag fluttering in the wind. Judging from the large amount of snow cleared in the yard, the Miao family's house was indeed covered by heavy snow, and Liu Xingmei was willing to believe Tao Zhenkun's words at this time.
A dog tied to Xishan Hua in the yard barked a few times, and the dog was black, so that Liu Xingmei would think it was the black tiger of the family at first glance. In addition, the donkey pen and the pigsty are next to each other, and the donkey and the pig are equivalent to half of the family business for this small family, so the dog has become the guardian saint.
"The black tiger was born to it?"
"Hmm."
"Black Tiger's mother is this 'chasing the wind', so who is its father?"
"I seem to have heard Brother Yunchang talk about it before, but I forgot about it after a long time."
"There's also a big fat pig, which should also be killed." Liu Xingmei said. It is said that it is a big fat pig, but the black pig is estimated to be about sixty or seventy catties when weighed on the scale.
"Mother! Grandfather! Grandmother! Uncle and aunt are here! β
Actually, there is no need for Wangwang to shout this voice, Miao Hanxiang and Wu He have already greeted the door of the house after the dog barked.
Miao Hanxiang said with a smile: "It's cold outside, please come in the house!" β
Liu Xingmei said: "I didn't do anything, but we came to eat ready-made." β
Wu He said: "What's so polite about this, you can have wolf meat to eat, and this is due to the Zhenkun brothers!" β
Tao Zhenkun smiled and said embarrassedly: "This should be regarded as the wolf who threw himself into the net, and he took the initiative to send it to the door, and he deserved to be unlucky!" β
Mrs. Miao said sadly: "I didn't expect that I would still be able to see my son's things!" β
Liu Xingmei saw that some old women had swollen eyes and swaying, obviously crying, and at this time her eyes were red, so she hurriedly said: "This is something that no one could have imagined, it happened!" Auntie, don't be too sad, look at the old man's body is quite hard. β
Miao Yunchang's mother's surname is Han, and her name is Han Xiaorong. After the loss of his son, he misses him day and night, and he is melancholy and obviously aging. When she heard Liu Xingmei say this, she smiled bitterly and said, "Well! It's really an old lady's birthday - a year is not as good as a year! God's gone, I have two giggling pain (knees) if the aisle hurts. β
"As we get older, we have more problems." Liu Xingmei will also echo the voice and sing along with the song.
Han affectionately took Liu Xingmei's hand and said, "Well! Look at you girl, you look so rare, what kind of pimple are you? β
"Are you asking my mother's house?"
"Hmm."
"I'm from the 'River Bay'." Liu Xingmei listened to Han's "um", and it also caused her "I" to come, this is a local accent that is difficult to change!
"Uh-huh! I've heard people say, look at my memory but forget it! β
"Young people don't have a good memory now, let alone older people."
"Uh-huh! Now you're a celebrity in the village. β
Liu Xingmei was stunned and asked: "I just came here, why did I become a celebrity?" β
"I heard that it is worth grinding, you scolded Wang San and his wife, and saved Liu Cuihua and subdued Rong Fanhui. Judging from these two comprehensive things, our ladies are not good people, and the eldest lady respects you! β
Liu Xingmei smiled slightly embarrassed and said, "Others must be calling me a shrew behind my back!" I'm a stubborn person since I was a child, and I can't stand being bullied by others and can't look at the bullied people, so I have to ignore people and make your old man laugh. β
Liu Xingmei looked up and down because it was the first time she saw Miao Yunchang and his mother, although she said that she was at the age of goosebumps and crane hair and open teeth, but from the figure and facial contour, she guessed that she would definitely be a beauty back then. What she didn't know was that according to what Han once said, I was also a good person back then, I wanted to have one, I wanted someone to have someone, and I was beautiful!
Yes, no matter how beautiful a woman's face is, she can't help but be polished by the ruthless years!
"Don't stand outside, there's something to talk about." Wu He said, she was afraid that her mother-in-law would make a mistake and offend Liu Xingmei by accident, so she took the basin from Tao Zhenkun's hand.
As soon as I entered the house, the smell of boiled meat came to my nose, the pot covered was steaming, and there was an unextinguished fire in the stove. As soon as she stepped into the threshold of the East House, Liu Xingmei felt a little dim, because the windows were different from the Tao family, and they were not bright enough.
