Chapter 5: The Poisonous Widow of Kefu (Part II)

Through the moonlight and vague light, it can be vaguely seen that the woman's head is combed with the most popular Leyou bun in the palace of the Gaozu Dynasty, and a plum blossom-shaped golden step shaking hairpin is inserted on it, and the ornament of the hairpin sways gently in the night wind, occasionally making a slight impact sound of tinkling. The thrush under the Leyou bun chooses the oblique moon style, but the forehead is not covered with forehead yellow, but a bright red diamond-shaped flower is lit at the center of the forehead, and the cheeks are slightly powdered. This kind of clothing and makeup makes the woman standing in the faint moonlight have a natural sultry style. But to say that the most attractive is the pair of half-moon shoes exposed between her steps, at her age she also chose red brocade as the upper is eye-catching enough, not to mention that the upper is embroidered with a pair of green-necked and red-feathered cross-necked mandarin ducks.

The woman thought that she had seen a lot of Tang Zhang's actions, so she didn't care, and beckoned lightly: "Sister-in-law Tang borrowed a step to speak", Tang Zhang's body moved, and Tang Que behind him was revealed.

Because he had never seen such a fine mandarin duck playing in the water and half a moon shoe, Tang Que inevitably stared at it for a while.

The woman is a well-known poisonous widow who is nearly dozens of miles away, because of the raw wind Liu has long been used to walking there and being stared at by others, but like now, she is still a little hot when she is stared at by such a half-sized man as Tang Que, especially this half-grown man is still a rare handsome young man in the village, "Ah Cheng's illness is cured?" At the same time that the woman shrank her feet under her skirt, the pair of slender Danfeng eyes suddenly hooked Tang Que.

"Thanks to the eldest lady's blessing, it's all so neat", Tang Zhang's face replied with a smile, but his eyes were full of vigilance, and he moved his body slightly to block the woman's sight between words, "It's so late, I don't know what the eldest lady came here for?" ”。

"My house is too old, recently I have been thinking about building a new house, I just want to ask Sister-in-law Tang to help, you have a good tea and rice, just to make a general stove. Two meals a day, plus 50 wenties. The woman tilted her head slightly as she spoke, just in line with Tang Que's eyes, and when she saw that she had retracted her feet, Tang Que's eyes also shrank, and the corners of the woman's mouth that stood up again were slightly pursed and showed a chuckle, "How is it?" If Sister-in-law Tang agrees, she will go to work early tomorrow morning."

Two meals a day are included, and this has to be closed to fifteen or sixteen wen, so that the wage for the whole day is sixty-five or six wen, which is indeed not less. The Tang family is in a difficult time, what else does the Tang Zhang family not agree? But to Tang Que's surprise, Tang Zhang's refused the woman without hesitation, of course, the excuse was that his son needed no one to take care of him when he was recovering from a serious illness.

"Oh! If Sister-in-law Tang really can't do without it, forget it", because Tang Zhang's body was blocked in the middle, Tang Que couldn't see the woman's demeanor when she spoke, but he heard wisps of loneliness in her voice.

After the woman finished speaking, she turned around and carried a papier-mΓ’chΓ© lantern, and Tang Zhang, who had always been enthusiastic, not only did not send it himself, but also did not let Tang Que help make the lantern and send the woman to the night road.

It is not easy to see such a well-dressed and well-groomed woman in such a small mountain village, Tang Que waited for Tang Zhang's door to close before retracting his eyes, "Mother, although the salary of fifty wen a day is an average price, but there is no food elsewhere, if you count two meals together, it is actually equivalent to sixty-six or seven literary wages a day, which is indeed a lot, why didn't you agree?" ”。

"Not for you!" , Tang Zhang's special glanced at Tang Que again, "Cheng, my mother can tell you that you have to stay away when you meet her in the future."

Seeing that Tang Que's face was puzzled, Tang Zhang was afraid that his son would not know how powerful, so he deliberately told the woman's roots carefully.

It turned out that this woman's real surname was Li, and she was a well-known handsome person within a radius of dozens of miles, but compared with her appearance, the woman was more famous for the reputation of "Kefu". She was originally from Laoxi Street in Yunxi City, and at the age of fifteen, she booked her first family business, but before she could pass the door, the man fell ill and died. As a result, some people have said that she is Kefu, and the family is worried that the matter will spread too much, and it is not taboo that she still finds a family for her in Linxian County during the filial piety period, and the two parties are engaged for less than two months, and the little man died of palpitation after falling from the boat on the way when he went out with his uncle to study economics for the first time. As a result, the woman's reputation was completely confirmed.

From then on, when the people in Yunxi City heard the matchmaker talk about Lao Xijie Li, they immediately shook their heads, and refused to marry no matter how much her family promised. Four years have passed, and after the woman is completely dead and wants to marry, a newly dead wife in the village refuses to believe in evil, and covets the woman's beauty and sends someone to propose.

Li Shi entered the door this time, but unfortunately she entered the door with her front foot, and the old man from the countryside suddenly fell to the ground with dizziness on the banquet table, only to bluff the full house. After two months of such a strong support, Lao Cai finally failed to hold on to the king of Hades. The old man had only three daughters but did not give birth to a son, and the woman's own family had strong relatives working in the county government, so she got the joy of the old fortune for a lifetime.

Another four years later, I don't know how to move the heart of the spring woman suddenly announced that she was going to sit on the ground to recruit a husband, after the news came out, it made a hundred miles of a lot of commotion, and finally a strong body like a tendon cow in the mountain was selected, looking at his full body of tendon meat, but there are many people who think that this time I am afraid that I can go through, but the result is that just three days before getting married, the strong man was killed by the rolling stones falling from the mountain on the side of the road when he went to the county seat. The mountains here are large and dense, and such a thing as falling into the mountains and rocks out of thin air cannot occur once in a hundred years. But such a once-in-a-century event found a man that the woman fancied. That is, after this incident, the woman had the name of the black widow, and this name was constantly spread by word of mouth with the different ways of death of the four men, so that almost everyone in Yunxi later knew that there was such a fierce beautiful woman who specialized in men, and the more this word spread, the more evil it became, and later it became that as long as the unmarried man got close to the black widow, he had to be killed, and the people who had unmarried men in the family also hid far away when they saw her, for fear of being contaminated with evil spirit.

This woman is also a hard-boned person, not only alone to run the industry left by the old wealth is prosperous, but also contrary to the original self-pity, from dressing to dressing is extraordinarily delicate and exquisite, the more men dare not approach her, if she gets the opportunity, the more she will tease, and the more the woman behind her back, the more she wants to tease the man of that family, just for this, the village does not know how many quarrels there are throughout the year. is also because Tang Zhang is not good at telling right and wrong, so this woman is quite restrained tonight, but she just glanced at Tang Que.

After listening to Tang Zhang's words, Tang Que understood the reason for her categorical refusal just now, and said to Kefuzhi that he naturally didn't believe it, and while feeling that the world was too coincidental, he also felt that the woman was pitiful. However, Tang Que didn't say these words, and the three of them went back to their rooms to sleep after chatting a few words on this topic.

The next morning, when the sky was just dawning, Tang Que vaguely heard the sound of getting up next door, and glanced at the hazy square sky outside the small black window, Tang Que let out a long sigh and turned over and got up.
