CHAPTER XXVIII

But it is said that on this day, it is the time of Huangmei in May in the south, the weather is irritable, and the cicadas on the trees begin to chirp non-stop; The dumb brother and a group of shepherd boys were tired of herding cattle and sat on the green grass. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info a moment, thick clouds were thick, the wind was sudden, and a heavy rain passed. The black clouds were studded with white clouds, and gradually dispersed, and a ray of sunlight shone through the lake. On the mountains by the lake, one is green, one is purple, and one is green. The branches of the trees look like they have been washed with water, and they are especially lovely green. There are dozens of lotus flowers in the lake, the water drips on the buds, the water droplets on the lotus leaves roll around, look at it, the calm lake water is clear and green, clear and lovely. A raft was full of passengers, and the captain held the oars in his left hand and put the basket in the belly of the water with his right hand, propped the boat open, turned the boat, and swung towards the opposite shore. The bow of the boat against the waves of the lake made a crisp, agitated sound, in harmony with the soft, evenly rhythmic sound of oars. Countless wooden rafts and bamboo rafts are crammed into the middle of the lake, and the water is slow, and the rafts seem to be not moving. On the south and north shores of the bay were thousands of wooden boats with awning trees, the masts of which seemed to be densely packed with leaves. In places where there are few boats in the depths, several light fishing boats are casting their nets. The cormorant boat was constantly paddling on the water, and the fisherman drove the cormorant into the water with a basket, stopped for a while, and then struck the side of the boat, and told them to come up, and pay the catch: small fish and big fish—what a sight to behold. People who have seen peach blossoms say it's strange, how did this Martha (N) Mazi give birth to such a beautiful daughter? The face of the peach blossom is round like a ripe peach, no matter the wind or sun, it is always white, smooth and pink. Peach Blossom does rough work in the field, and her waist is so thin that she can hold it with both hands together. The sixteen-year-old peach blossom is bumpy and uneven, her chest is swollen and bulging, and she trembles when she walks, making people panic. Such a daughter, Martha (M) Mazi actually agreed to marry the deaf and dumb and eldest son of the Tusi Li family. When the oil thief heard that she had promised the peach blossoms to the dumb eldest brother of the Li family in the toast, she was furious. She pounced frantically, grabbed Martha (M) Mazi's collar with one hand, picked at his face with the other, and then pulled it down, and Martha (M) Mazi's face suddenly had five blood marks. Beat and scolded, scolded and scolded, and in the end, the oil thief still handed over the peach blossom's birthday to He Lao Liu, who had been waiting by the door to watch the excitement. Waiting for He Lao Liu to go away, Ma Da (M) Mazi, who couldn't fight back just now and scolded him back, raised his hand high and returned the mouth of the oil thief. He said, "Do you think Lao Tzu is willing to marry the peach blossom girl to that idiot?" There's no way around it. It doesn't matter if I die, what are you going to do? "The oil thief was beaten, but she lost the spicy energy just now. She crouched on the ground like a deflated ball and cried. She sobbed and said, "Pity my peach blossom girl, that deaf, dumb, nymphomaniac, how did you have the fate to marry my peach blossom girl." The life of the peach blossom girl is hard. No, no, you can't ruin the peach blossom girl! Martha (N) Mazi, you grave robber, you go to die......" When the oil thief jumped up and threw herself at Martha (M) Mazi again, the peach blossoms came out. Peach Blossom wiped her grandmother in the West Wing, and she listened to her father's noise. In the past two days, the ominous feeling has finally been answered. She's going to marry Big Brother Mute. The dumb big brother is not bad except for the annoying people when he has a attack. Several times I saw her carrying heavy burdens or collecting firewood, and I even ran over to help her carry it. To marry such a deaf and dumb man,

Peach Blossom never dreamed of it. She thought about it, and two lines of tears flowed down like pearls. Is Peach Blossom really shedding tears for marrying a dumb big brother? Somehow, her eyes were full of the figure of Li Fugui, the master of Toast. A few days ago, she saw Li Fugui, the old man of Toast, riding a high-headed white dragon horse and walking over the ridge. At that time, the sun was sinking in the west, and the old man Tusi and his horse filled the red sun. Peach Blossom looked stupid, until Master Toast came to her and called "Tao Tao", she suddenly woke up with a "hey". The old man looked at the peach blossom and said, "Taotao, what are you looking at?" Peach Blossom's face was full of shame, red as the sunset on the horizon, and she "looked" for a long time before she kicked out a sentence: "Look at you and the horse walking in the sun." Listening to Peach Blossom's words, Master Toast's heart "chuckled". He was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Tao Tao is really good at talking, I have time, go to the house and play with Lan (Hua) and them." As he spoke, the horse had walked over, leaving a majestic back for Peach Blossom. Peach Blossom covered her hot face, and said in her heart that she didn't look at it, but she still secretly glanced at the back of the toast master, in the east and west of the river, in the town and county, who didn't say that the toast master was good? He did so many good things (such as building bridges and roads) that he couldn't count them on his hands. What charity did Master Toast do, Peach Blossom didn't seem to be able to say a single thing. On the first day of the Lunar New Year when he was ten years old, the peach blossom will never forget. Early that morning, Li Fugui went to the seventh master's house in Hedong Village to pay New Year's greetings, and a group of children surrounded him to ask for red envelopes, only one girl shrank timidly behind to see the other children holding red envelopes and dispersed happily one by one. She was also about to disperse, Li Fugui suddenly stood in front of her, and asked herself, "Who is this girl?" Peach Blossom twisted the corners of her clothes, lowered her head, and didn't dare to speak. Zhao Qiye said: "Tao Tao, the eldest daughter of Ma Renyi's family. Li Fugui said "oh", took Peach Blossom's hand, put a red envelope on her hand, stroked her head, and said: "Tao Tao, go back and ask your father for me a happy New Year (local custom - red envelopes symbolize good fortune in the coming year)." From then on, Peach Blossom would often think of the gentle hands of Master Toast. A few years have passed, and Peach Blossom has a spring dream. A late night filled with the fragrance of spring flowers, the stars are shining brightly, and the insects are chirping; Peach blossoms wake up in a dream, and a full moon hangs outside the window. Peach Blossom was dazzled, and this full moon suddenly turned into the face of Lord Toast. Peach Blossom vaguely remembered that it was Master Toast who was with her in her dream! Peach Blossom smacked herself several times in her heart. That night, Peach Blossom couldn't drive the toast master out of his mind. Since then, she didn't want to go to Tusi's orchid (flower) to play, even when she saw the gate of Tusi Li's house, she avoided it from afar. The past is not far off. She didn't want to think about it, and she didn't dare to think that she was finally going to enter the compound of the Tusi Li family! These tears (the Miao family in Xiangxi has had a custom of women crying and marrying since ancient times), she couldn't figure out whether it was sadness, joy, or horror. It's a secret deep inside her, and no one will tell it......
