Chapter 30: Du Ba
"Just standing? Don't go into the house and say? The man on the side broke the deadlock, the third sister-in-law woke up, wiped her tears, grabbed Xu Si's hand with her hand, and pulled him into the house, there was a square table against the wall in the house, there was a tea set on the table, there were a few square stools next to the table, the terrazzo floor was wiped clean, the man had already put the child into the inner room, came out and stood in the middle and looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "It's a good thing to meet again after a long absence!" Why are you so miserable? You catch up on the old days, I'll go out and ask for a few dishes, and drink two cups at noon to celebrate! After saying that, he walked out with a smile and drank and gently led the street door.
The third sister-in-law dragged Xu Si to the square table and sat down, "Are you thirsty?" She hurriedly poured a glass of water and sent it to Xu Si's hands while asking, looked at Xu Si drinking water and smiled, and said, "It's all grown so big, and it's still drinking like this, and it's all flowing to your neck." Reached out to wipe him, but his hand finally stopped on Xu Si's face, and said stupidly: "Little Liu'er, you have grown up and become stronger." Tears fell again.
Xu Si stretched out his hand to hold the third sister-in-law's hand, the originally delicate and lubricated hands have now become skinny and bony, only skin and bones remain, "I found people everywhere to tell you about your whereabouts, and they all said that you went down to Kanto, what are you doing in that place is cold and desolate?" Where the hell have you been all these years? How are you doing? The third sister-in-law asked several questions at once with tears in her eyes.
How are you doing? Xu Si couldn't say, looking back on the past few years, Xu Si didn't know whether it was good or bad, there was nothing or anyone worth remembering at all. Did you just go? Xu Si never left Zhaoyuan at all, that year when he came out of prison, Xu Si heard that his mother died, and the third sister-in-law remarried after burying her mother, married in the Du family, and the eldest brother and second brother did not wait to see him, at first he wanted to find the third sister-in-law, but then the old house was inexplicably burned down, and he had a serious illness again, and slowly broke off his previous thoughts, always comforting himself, what can he do if he finds it? Can she come back? Even if she comes back, what will she eat and wear? Where to stay? She chose to marry someone because she was willing, no one forced her, she was poor! Can you say these words to the third sister-in-law? Apparently not.
Xu Si didn't answer the third sister-in-law's question, but looked at the third sister-in-law's emaciated face and said, "You have lost weight." In a word, the tears of the third sister-in-law flowed down again, she took Xu Si's hand and cried: "I have been thinking about you every day for the past two years, I always want to see you next to me when I open my eyes, as soon as the door opens, you kick Dada and run in, I look forward to it, I look forward to the day when you can come to pick me up, I can't eat during the day, I can't sleep at night, I force me to eat and sleep by myself every day, I'm afraid I can't wait for this day!" It's good now! The hard days are finally over! As he spoke, he threw himself into Xu Si's arms emotionally, sobbing non-stop.
Xu Si stretched out his hand and gently hugged the thin body of the third sister-in-law, full of emotion, the third sister-in-law who was once confident and calm in front of big things and small achievements has been ruthlessly worn away by the years? Lengjiao, the third sister-in-law who stood out from the crowd and the weak and boneless in her arms was gone, and was replaced by the woman in front of her who was married to another woman, and her body was thin and unbearable.
"Is he good to you?" Xu Si asked softly,
"Who?" There were some doubts in the words of the third sister-in-law,
"The guy just now." Xu Si looked at the eyes of the third sister-in-law, how many years have passed? Those eyes are still very clear, without a trace of human incense.
"Du Ba?" The third sister-in-law asked, "What's wrong?" Xu Si's heart shook when he heard this, no wonder others called him starling,
It turned out that he was Du Ba, the most famous traitor leader in Beizhao County, black and white, even the Japanese were afraid of him for three points, it is said that he used to be a butcher, and he would have two strokes in his hands, his father and mother married him a daughter-in-law, and he was stabbed with a knife on three days, and after the killing, he left his parents and went to Kanto, his parents were humiliated by his in-laws at home, and the blackmail of the government ended up with hatred, and he caught up with the Japanese after a few years of mixing there, he also ran back, and became the first traitor in Beizhao County, a few days after he came back, His ex-wife's family of nine people died overnight, it is said that he did it, and he gave him the nickname "Living Hades!" "In the legends, his long green fangs are not human or ghost, but I can't imagine that he is actually tall and talented.
"Alas!" The third sister-in-law sighed softly, and then said: "Thanks to him in the past two years, you burned Liu Yong's ancestral hall and the Wang family's powder room that year, thanks to him to be freed from it, and then his mother left, and he came forward to do it, otherwise how can I afford it as a woman?" ”
"Is that him? But the eldest brother and the second brother didn't say that. The third sister-in-law smiled bitterly and didn't answer, but said: "Justice is in the hearts of the people, so why care about what others say?" The ......third sister-in-law looked at Xu Si and asked hesitantly, "You set it on fire?" ”
"Who said that!" Xu Si asked in surprise, "It doesn't matter who said it anymore, it's gone if it's gone, it's not a good thing." Back then, Du Ba pointed a gun at the eldest brother and the second brother to set up a note to give you the old house, and used an axe to cut off the flagpole outside the ancestral hall of the Liu family, and killed Wang Dong. When the third sister-in-law said these words, she still had palpitations.
No one has ever told Xu Si these things, Xu Si has always regarded his coming out of prison as his luck, Ji Chenggaozhao, never thought that in the few months he was in prison, there were earth-shaking changes outside, as well as the indifference between his eldest brother and second brother when he was released from prison, and the rumored affair between the third sister-in-law and Du Ba, finally has an answer here.
"Did he push you?" Xu Si finally asked the sentence he wanted to ask the most, in his consciousness, the third sister-in-law should have been forced to marry Du Ba,
"Who?" The third sister-in-law was a little puzzled, but immediately came to her senses, "No." These two words shook Xu Si's ears, and she only heard her say lightly: "I'm a woman, what's there to force?" You ......" Before the words were finished, there was a cry of a child inside, and the third sister-in-law hurriedly ran in.
After a while, the child was brought out, the child was crying with tears, and his face was red, the third sister-in-law looked at him with one hand, and gently patted his back with one hand and sang softly: "The cat is frightened, the dog is not surprised, the baby is the mother's heart, the demon and the monster are not close, sleep gently with a smile, and don't cry when you wake up,......" Looking at the appearance of the third sister-in-law slapping the child, Xu Si suddenly woke up, no wonder he looked at the child so familiar, it turned out that his eyebrows were a little similar to the third sister-in-law, he turned out to be the child of the third sister-in-law and Du Basheng!
