Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Boundary River

The scarce stars in the sky became much dimmer, and gradually the general outline of Niuzi's white body could be seen, she was still curled up in Xu Si's arms, with a teardrop hanging on her long eyelashes, but the corners of her mouth were smiling, Xu Si couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead again, Niuzi opened her beautiful big eyes and looked at Xu Si, and asked softly: "Do you still want it?" ……”

Suddenly sat up and hurriedly looked for clothes, Xu Si looked at the dark red on her back cheeks, and couldn't help but reach out to hug her, "No!" Uncle, it's really not right now. Niuzi's tone was a little hurried, "It's dawn: I have to go back, this will make people laugh at me when they see it." The girl jumped off the kang, put on her clothes as she spoke, and looked at Xu Si, who was naked on the kang, and said angrily: "Look at you, you have torn up everyone's clothes!" ”

When the girl left, it was already dawn, she first gently opened the door, looked out like a thief, and then turned back to Xu Hui with a charming smile, and then squeezed out through the crack in the door, trotted forward a few steps, and then walked forward slowly. Xu Si lay on the crack of the door to see her go away, and then returned to the edge of the kang and grabbed her clothes and pants and put them on. The kang was messy, and there were dark red blood stains everywhere, how much blood did she have?

Xu Si grabbed a steamed bun and took a bite, hmm! This stuff is better than bread! Fine, soft, fragrant, especially in the mouth the more chewing the more fragrant, no need to eat the dish is also sweet and delicious, he ate one, and drank a scoop of water and opened the door and walked out, the outside of the house is still very stuffy, he walked a few steps, felt that the legs were soft, the waist was not strong, the belly also felt sore and painful, looked up at the sky, was a little dizzy by the bright sun, he stood firm against the wall, was a little puzzled, but saw Wang Wu leading a group of people to carry the family goods over.

"Fourth brother." Wang Wu greeted from afar: "Why is your face so yellow?" Sick? Xu Si didn't answer his words, but asked, "Where are you going?" Wang Wu smiled and said, "When I get to your house, I have everything ready, and the butcher will drive a pig over later." While talking, he beckoned people to carry the belongings to Xu Siwu, arranging the stoves for building stoves, building sheds for sheds, and picking up vegetables, and they were very busy.

"White-flour steamed buns!" I don't know who shouted, everyone stopped their work and went to Xu Si's stove to see, Wang Wu hurriedly squeezed in to protect the steamed bun, "Don't move!" Don't move! If you work hard, you will have something to eat, go quickly! There was a lot of people there, but no one moved, and many eyes stared at the pot of steamed buns.

"This is something that can only be seen during the New Year!" One person exclaimed, "It's farting again!" Another person took over and said, "Your New Year's steamed buns are as black as donkey eggs, can they be compared with this?" When the man heard this, he was not angry, and sighed: "If you can eat this kind of steamed bun every day, you will have to live ten years less." Everyone suddenly sighed together, Wang Wu had no choice but to pick up a steamed bun and break it, and only then did he blow them out by dividing a little.

"Why don't you eat and put it in your pocket?" "Hey!" The face of the asked person was red and speechless, "Huai is going home to honor his wife, he is a daughter-in-law fan!" There was a burst of laughter, "Why don't you eat it!" The daughter-in-law said angrily to the person who spoke before, "Take it home to the child, he is six years old, and he has never seen this rare thing." The man's eyes were a little red. Several people suddenly quieted down, their faces were not very good, they were busy with their own work, I don't know who said something first, and immediately quarreled into a pot of 'peanut lotus seeds and mung bean' porridge.

"We can eat steamed buns in order!" The words of the Wang political commissar sounded in Xu Si's ears, Xu Si looked at the noisy few people and shook his head with a wry smile, and continued to walk forward for a while, and saw Xu Tuzi walking in front with a shy stomach carrying a pig-killing tithe, and a tall thin man behind him was dragging a rope in his hand, and the other end of the rope was tied to the right leg of a fat pig walking in front, and the man was holding a wattle in his other hand to gently drive the slow fat pig, and he was followed by a child with thin arms and legs, but a big iron basin on his head.

"Hey! Fourth! Xu Tuzi greeted Lao Yun through the old luck, and when he got closer, Xu Si saw that the bruises on his face had not yet dissipated, "Hey! Fourth! Who's that? That village east Liu Dascar gave me some pig blood, I laughed without consulting you, don't blame me. As he spoke, he beckoned to the child with the plate on his head, and the child hurriedly ran over, "Call grandpa!" Xu Tuzi commanded. The child screamed timidly, "What else do you have to tell your grandfather, your fourth grandfather is a good person." Xu Tuzi confessed.

The child looked up at Xu Si and swallowed a few mouthfuls of spit, his little face was flushed, and it took a lot of effort to say in a voice the size of a mosquito: "I want a pig's tail!" "You little rabbit, why do you want a pig's tail!" Xu Tuzi asked a little unhappily, and the child pinched it for a long time before stammering: "I pee on the kang ......" and lowered his head without squeaking. "What do you want to tell the butcher and let him give it to you?" Xu Si felt very funny, he also urinated on the kang when he was a child, and ate a lot of pig tails, and the child saw that Xu Si responded, and happily forced the pig to go with an iron basin.

Xu Si watched them walk away, but leaned into Xu Si's ear and said mysteriously: "Seeing that your face is so bad, I guess you didn't stop all night last night, right?" Xu Si looked at him in surprise, only to hear him continue: "That kind of thing hurts your body very much, why don't I get a prescription for you to make up for it in two days?" Hey! He laughed dryly, grabbed the bald head with his hand and said, "I can't see that girl's girl is quite durable...... "When Xu Si's clenched fist came, he hurriedly flashed to the side, his hands swinging straight, "Count me nonsense!" Count me off nonsense! ......" said as he staggered away.

Xu Si walked east to the edge of the Jiehe River, and walked north along the river beach, he wanted to go to the Beizhao County Government: Du's family, and go to the third sister-in-law to ask her about something. From the boundary river at the entrance of the village to the Dujia river beach is the nearest road, there are seven or eight miles, can only be measured with feet, all the way is the river beach, in addition to the sand on the river beach is large and small stones, if the bitterness is to drive the cattle and ride the horse and lead the donkey to do not do well will break the hooves of the livestock, for the donkey, horse and mule with dry foot force and the cattle with dry ploughing, breaking the hooves means the end of life, that is more than worth the loss.

This river is pregnant with all the life on both sides, accustomed to the vicissitudes of the world, the river floods in the rainy season, washes the houses and destroys the fields, the officials who have been appointed in the north and south are all headaches for this river, and keep raising the dams on both banks, the result is that the river bed is higher and higher than the ground level, and the drought is better, dig a hole in the river embankment at will, and the river water will rush down to irrigate the fertile fields on both banks, if it rains for a while, and does not open for a month, the flood will be wrapped in a large amount of sediment and poured into the fields on both sides, When the flood receded, there was no way to tell where the river was and where the fields were.

But this is a child's paradise, because after the flood recedes, there must be a lot of stranded fish and shrimp, so they call friends to go one after another, and rush to the river beach that has not been expanded several times with their belongings, cheering and shouting and running, and there are often because of a fish or shrimp or turtle or crab hit the head of the blood, or because they are not satisfied with the dead fish and rotten shrimp and go into the water to catch fish and shrimp and are swept away by the flood or drowned or drowned half dead, in short: no matter how bitter and difficult the days and chaos of the world can not extinguish the child's naughty childish heart
