Erquan Yingyue (short story) Zhang Baotong

In the evening, Ah Bing had to stay at the shoemaker Yang Laoqi for a while. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Yang Laoqi persuaded Ah Bing and said, "Ah Hong is already married, and the person who marries is equivalent to spilled water, and there is no way to take it back." "And let Ah Bing think things out of the way. However, Ah Bing said that Ah Hong was forcibly snatched away, and he couldn't stop there.

Early the next morning, Ah Bing carried the erhu on his back and followed the path by the river to Wujia Village, which was twenty miles away from the town. Wujia Village is a very large village, and far away from the village, you can see a deep house compound with white walls and high houses standing in front of the village. On both sides of the door stood two huge stone lions with angry eyes, and in front of the door was a large open space with a large pond on the edge of the clearing. There was a woman washing a large pile of clothes on the edge of the pond.

Ah Bing asked the woman, but the Wu family lived in this compound. The woman was a servant of the Wu family, and when she heard Ah Bing inquire about the owner's house, and saw that Ah Bing was wearing an old dress, she asked Ah Bing what she wanted. Ah Bing said that he had a younger sister named Ah Hong, who was robbed as a concubine by the Wu family, and he wanted to reason with the Wu family and ask them to release Ah Hong. The maid said, "The Wu family is a new aunt named Ah Hong, but it was someone who spent a lot of money and was married to Ming Media, so she was robbed by force." Ah Bing said, "Ah Hong has been married to me since I was a child, but her father sold her to the Wu family for money. Ah Hong herself didn't want to be at all, she was crying and making trouble and asked the Wu family to send someone to bring it, and everyone in Qingning Town knew about it. When the maid heard this, she could not say more, so she said, "I do not know what is the matter, but you should go to the landlord." Then he went on to wash his clothes.

Ah Bing walked to the door, tapped on the door, and a man came out of it, and when he saw Ah Bing holding an erhu in his hand, he said, "What are you doing here?" Ah Bing said, "I'm looking for Ah Hong." The man looked at Ah Bing with a puzzled look and said, "How can there be a person named Ah Hong here." At this time, the maid who was washing clothes by the pond replied, "It's the fourth aunt newly married by the master." When the man heard this, his tone immediately changed, and he asked, "What are you looking for her?" Ah Bing said, "She's my sister." The man told Ah Bing to wait in front of the door, and went into the courtyard to report.

After a while, the middle-aged man came back and shouted viciously to Ah Bing, "The fourth aunt doesn't have a brother, who are you?" With that, he pushed Ah Bing out of the door and threatened, "Go away quickly." Ah Bing said, "I won't leave, and if I don't see Ah Hong, I won't leave." The man said, "Do you dare not go?" Well, you'll stay here. As he spoke, he whistled. Then, I saw a big yellow dog, which suddenly came out of the courtyard and pounced on Ah Bing. Ah Bing hurriedly blocked it with an erhu, but was not bitten by the dog, but was thrown to the ground by the dog. When the dog was about to pounce on him again, he held the ground with one hand and smashed the dog's head with the other hand with his erhu. The dog screamed and ran away with his tail between his legs.

When the man saw that Ah Bing had injured the dog, he came over and punched and kicked Ah Bing, beating Ah Bing so that his nose and face were swollen and he didn't get up from the ground for a long time. When Ah Bing gasped and sat up from the ground, the door was already closed. At this time, the maid who was washing clothes came over and said to Ah Bing, "Why don't you dare to come here to provoke you without seeing whose house this is?" You'd better be smart and get out of here early, and don't let people arrest you and fight you half-dead. ”

But Ah Bing held his head high, gritted his teeth, wiped the nosebleed and the dirt on his body, sat upright, made a look of unwilling to bend, and used the erhu to play a heroic, tragic, strong and uncurved song. He thought that as soon as Ah Hong heard this song, he would come out to see him. Then, he will have the opportunity to speak to Ah Hong and let Ah Hong run away, so that he can take Ah Hong away and leave here far away.

It was noon and the sun was hot. Seeing someone playing erhu in front of the Wu family's compound, many people came here to watch. The Wu family may be afraid of losing face and losing face, so they sent a few men over to drive Ah Bing violently. It can be seen that Ah Bing put on a stubborn and indomitable posture, and there were many onlookers standing next to him, so he didn't have to do it again, so he had to close the door and never come out again.

However, Ah Bing has been playing that tune, covered in mud, with blood on his face, his expression is resolute and stubborn, and he has been sitting motionless on the sun for a long time, and he doesn't know that he is hungry and thirsty, and the onlookers think that his nerves are stimulated, so he gradually loses interest in him, and slowly disperses to be busy with his own affairs.

Ah Bingyin had been in a hurry to get here since he got up in the morning, and he had not eaten, and he was beaten and sunburned, and when the sun was at its worst in the afternoon, he felt hungry and thirsty, exhausted, dizzy, and weak, and he fell to the ground as if he was about to faint and go into shock. As soon as he lay on the ground, Ah Bing soon fell asleep. I slept for a while in a daze, and when I woke up, Ah Bing felt better. So, he sat up and began to pull up the erhu again.

He kept pulling like this, but he still didn't see Ah Hong come out. It wasn't until the sun was setting in the west that the door finally creaked open, and it was the laundry maid who came out. I saw the maid walk up to Ah Bing and say to Ah Bing, "This brother, it's useless for you to sit here until tomorrow morning, and the fourth aunt asked the master to take him to Hangzhou early in the morning to swim in the lake." ”

Ah Bing didn't know if the woman was telling him the truth, or if she was deliberately trying to trick him into leaving quickly, so she said, "Is this true? The woman said, "If it's not true, the fourth aunt is not deaf, and she can't hear your huqin?" Ah Bing looked at the gate in disappointment for a while, and then asked the woman when Ah Hong would be back. The woman said she wouldn't be back until at least three to five days later. Then, she said to Ah Bing, "The fourth aunt has become a member of the family, and it is useless for you to say anything now." It's getting late, so you'd better hurry back. Ah Bing sighed, got up from the ground, and supported his exhausted body on the way back to the city.
