The night that followed was even more complete. They entered a new realm of relaxation and cheerfulness from the state of lingering affection, and began to talk and laugh with interest, and had fun with each other. Heiwa retold the sour story told by the chief foreman Li Xiang that she heard in the horse horn to the little woman, and the little woman laughed happily almost out of breath, caressed and pinched the black baby, and scolded in her mouth: "Heiwa, you have learned to become a blind bear with those blind bears!" Heiwa smiled proudly and asked, "Sister, I heard that you made jujube for Shopkeeper Guo, is it true?" The little woman slapped him in the mouth, and it was very heavy and not like a play. Heiwa was dumbfounded, regretting that she had gotten away and said the wrong thing. The little woman then sat down and took the urinal to the black baby. Heiwa got up and took a look, and there were three dates floating in the urine of the yellow wax wax, which had been soaked and fat. The little woman said hatefully that she was like an awl when she mentioned the matter of soaking dates. The eldest woman watched and watched her every night before she stuffed three dried dates into her lower body before leaving, and she later came up with a way to retaliate by taking out the dried dates and throwing them into the urinal. "He's eating dates soaked in my urine!" The little woman said, angry again, "Later, I'll smear your cunt on the dates for him, and let him eat it for an old immortal!" When it comes to Guo Juren, Heiwa is a little timid. After the little woman was angry, she cried: "Brother, my sister is not even as good as a dog in this house!" I see that the two of us ran away from home, running far away, even if I beg for food and drink, I don't like it, as long as your brother is with me day and night......" Heiwa didn't think about the past at all, Zhiwu said: "Sister, are you in a hurry...... I haven't thought about running yet...... Let's talk about it in the dark. The little woman said, "Brother, you are afraid, and I am also talking nonsense." I've been able to get along with you a few times, and it's worth it to die. ”

Heiwa returned to the horse a little heavily and began to think about what to do? Jumping over the wall and jumping into the courtyard to meet secretly is not a long-term solution! At this time, there was a knock on the door of the horse, and Heiwa hurriedly asked, "Who?" A calm and plain voice replied, "Me." Heiwa was a little panicked when she heard Guo Juren's voice, and immediately thought to herself: If he finds any clues, he will definitely catch the rapist on the spot, and he will not wait for him to return to the horse. He feigned sleepiness and pulled the latch open. Guo Juren walked in and said, "Light the lamp." Heiwa was afraid that his face was not good and he didn't want to light the lamp, Guo Juren insisted on lighting the lamp, so he fought hard to light the oil lamp with flint. Guo Juren clasped his hands behind his back, stood opposite and said, "What did you do just now?" Heiwa panicked: "My stomach is broken, and I go to the thatched house...... Guo Juren said coldly: "The thatched house is not over there, and there is no need to climb over the wall." All luck was crushed, the matter was completely revealed, Heiwa's eyes were dark, and she almost sat down: "Shopkeeper, what do you say-" Guo Juren shook his head and said: "If I want to deal with you, I will catch you on the spot just now, and I won't let you run back to the horse." Isn't it as easy to treat you as it is to kill a bed bug? Well, I don't blame you for this, I only blame her for her stinky flesh and blame others for weighing eighteen taels. She is a rotten woman and dies, and it is not easy for your father to raise you so big. The façade is blackened, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for your doll to find a woman for the rest of your life. Heiwa was completely broken at this time, unable to raise her head or speak. Guo Juren said: "So be it! I'll give you the first half of your salary, and you'll find another master's house elsewhere. Remember, don't do this humiliating thing again in the future. As he spoke, he took out a few silver dollars from his waist and put them on the side of the kang. Heiwa hurriedly said: "If you don't treat me, it's enough for me, and I don't dare to take the money." You are such a good person in charge, I ......" Heiwa knelt down as soon as her legs were weak. Guo Juren said disapprovingly: "This incident should have never happened. I won't mention it anymore. You take the money and go. Let's go now. Heiwa didn't dare to take the money and didn't dare not take it, so she took the money and put it in her pocket, and when she carried it, she bowed deeply to Guo Juren and walked out of the door of the horse.

Heiwa walked to the turn of the village lane and couldn't help but look back, the window of the horse was still lit, and Guo Juren had to personally guard the livestock tonight. He felt very sad in his heart, and he couldn't wait to slap himself twice: Do you do this kind of thing that is sorry for your master, are you still a human being? As soon as he left the village, he set out on his way south, and suddenly thought of how to explain to his father when he went back. Immediately turned to the road to the west, and the farther he went, the better, just find a family that lacks people to survive. Walking to a small river, Heiwa squatted down and took off her shoes, heard footsteps behind her, looked back, and two black shadows ran towards him, shouting as they ran: "Lu Xiang, wait for something to say." Heiwa waited with her shoes in her hand. Under the starlight, Heiwa recognized that the people were Guo Juren's two nephews, who ran out of breath and sandwiched Heiwa in the middle one after the other. One said, "Why don't you just go away?" Heiwa said, "The shopkeeper told me to leave." Another interjected: "Telling you to go is telling you to go farther, it stinks a village!" Heiwa doesn't think about anything anymore, she just feels cornered. One scolded: "You donkey and six animals!" Another scolded: "Peel off your dog's skin tonight!" scolded and pulled the shelf. Heiwa was punched and kicked in the back. He endured and hidden, and finally saw the opportunity, and smashed a punch in the face of one of them, and the feeling told him that he had hit the other man's nose, and the man staggered back a few steps and tripped over the stones on the river beach. He kicked the other into the crotch with a leg up, and the man crouched on the beach with a groan. Before they could pounce again, Heiwa turned and threw herself into the water, and floated away with a leap of water.

When Heiwa climbed ashore, she couldn't tell where she was, her stomach was growling with hunger, she followed the smell of melons to a melon orchard on the shore of the beach, touched a few half-baked melons, and walked along the path on the riverbank. He chewed on the unripe melon with a grassy taste, and swallowed all the skin and seeds. Guo Juren secretly sent two nephews to pick him up, strangled him or stoned him to death and threw him into the water to eliminate all traces. Heiwa doesn't feel sorry for Guo Juren anymore, the actions of these two stupid guys have relieved Heiwa of her guilt, but she just screams in her heart: Sister E'er doesn't know what crime she is going to suffer?

He walked aimlessly to the west, not stopping at dawn, and the farther he went, the safer it would be. At lunchtime, it was estimated that he had walked more than 100 miles, and Heiwa stopped in a small village to ask who needed to hire long-term workers, and short-term workers were also available. Someone kindly told him that in a village called Huang's walled village in front of him, there was a wealthy man named Huang Lao Wu, who had just dismissed a long-term worker and needed to hire someone, but the master was a little stingy, the older people were stubborn, and the young people were afraid that they couldn't stand it. Heiwa is already hungry and panicked, as long as he is a person, I can bear it.

After working for half a month in the Huang family's wall, Heiwa saw that Huang Lao Wu's skin really deserved his reputation. Huang Lao didn't know how to call him to go to the ground for five days, and the dog days didn't stop, and the reason was sufficient: "It's rare to have such a hard day, and you can't live a single grass hoe, so you have to seize this good day to dry the grass." If it weren't for the heavy rain that made people unable to open their eyes, Huang Lao Wu still had words: "Ha, that's good!" It's cool when it rains, and it's not hot to work. Heiwa doesn't care, besides, Huang Lao Wu himself doesn't stop or avoid the rain and accompanies him to do the same. Huang Lao Wu also accompanies him three times a day when he eats, except for a meal of thin soup noodles at noon, all of which are miscellaneous grains, wrapped in grains, black beans, rice, peas, and steamed buns. The black bean noodles, whether steamed or branded, can't change the black color of cat feces, and they can't get rid of the bitter and burnt taste; The pea flour bun has a hard mouth, and when you bite into it, you chew a mouthful of sand-like hard grains, and after eating it, you will fart. On the way to the ground, Heiwa and Huang Lao Wu heard farts one after another, and Huang Lao Wu himself laughed: "Heiwa, you smell this fart and it doesn't stink." The farts born by peas don't stink. Wheat's raw fart stinks disgusting!" Heiwa soon understood that Huang Lao Wu was actually a stupid farmer, and he became a small wealthy man by virtue of his diligence and thrift to buy land for an acre and a half, and he couldn't compare with Guo Juren at all. But what made him most unbearable was not the fatigue of working and the poor food, but an unbearable habit of licking the bowl. When eating the first meal at Huang's house, Heiwa saw Huang Lao Wu licking the bowl, and she was nauseous for a while, and almost vomited the food she ate. When he ate again in the future, he would speed up and put down his chopsticks to wipe his mouth before Huang Lao Wu finished licking the bowl and walked away, so as not to hear the sound of his long tongue licking out. After lunch that day, Huang Lao Wu pointed to the stool with chopsticks and said, "Lu Xiang, sit down, Sensei hurry up, I have something to say." Heiwa sat down again. Huang Lao Wu said: "Lick the bowl." Heiwa looked at the big bowl of grits she had just finished eating, and there was a sparse yellow bun of grits left, and a few flies were buzzing in the bowl, and said, "I won't lick it." I haven't licked a bowl since I was a kid. Huang Lao Wu said: "I haven't licked since I was a child, and it's not too late to learn to lick now." A grain of porridge is not easy to come by. If you don't lick, I'll teach you to lick. Then he raised the bowl and set an example. He stretched out his long, fat tongue and licked it along the inside of the bowl, which was as clean as a rag. Licking it one after another, he turned the big coarse porcelain bowl with both hands, making a series of sounds like a dog licking food, licking the edge of the bowl and raising his head to lick the bottom of the bowl. Huang Lao Wu showed him the bowl that had been licked cleanly: "How good is this!" It's not bad at all. Heiwa said, "I haven't licked the bowl in my house." My family is poorer than yours, and no one licks the bowl. Huang Lao Wu said: "That's why you went out to carry work for others!" If you lick the bowl from your father's hand, and there are exactly three generations in your hand, according to the six people in the family, how much grain will be washed off the bottom of the bowl in 100 years? If you save up the washed food, you won't go out to work, but you will have to hire someone to work for you!" Heiwa's stomach and intestines had already stirred with Huang Lao Wu's tongue stretched out and retracted, and she was nauseous for a while, and she couldn't speak. Huang Lao Wu said: "Lu Xiang, your doll is good at everything, she is lively and does not like to eat, only she can't lick the bowl." Did you know or not? After the meal, you leave first, and I lick the bowl for you. As long as you learn to lick the bowl from now on, I will hire you to do it for three or five years, and your salary can be increased. Heiwa said: "Even if I don't want to be paid, I won't lick the bowl." With that, he turned around and left, walked to the aisle and turned around, Huang Lao Wu was holding his bowl and licking it happily. Heiwa saw others licking her bowl even more intolerable, and she vomited. Then it actually became a problem, he wanted to vomit when he saw Huang Lao Wu's lips, so he simply took two steamed buns and hid in the bullpen to eat them alone. At last he couldn't bear it anymore, gritted his teeth and gave up his month's wages, ate breakfast and escaped by going to the ground alone.

He misses the little woman intensely. How did she spend her days in January? He tore along an official road and walked eastward, and when the night was quieter, Heiwa was already standing under the familiar Tsubaki tree. He climbed the tree, climbed over the wall, jumped into the courtyard, and touched the door of the west wing, where the bamboo curtain was rolled up above the lintel, and a long brass lock hung from the door. Heiwa didn't dare to stop for a long time, so she walked out of the yard along the same road, and turned around to the horse number next door. Heiwa climbed over the earthen fence and saw the chief foreman Li Xiang and Wang Xiang sleeping in the courtyard of the horse. He jumped down and shook Li Xiang awake, so frightened that Li Xiang's mouth couldn't speak. Heiwa whispered, "Uncle Li, where is the little woman?" Li Xiang said: "I went back to my mother's house." Heiwa asked again: "Do you know when you will come back?" Li Xiang has completely awakened and regained his lively nature: "Your turtle grandson has taken care of her family, Guo Juren has already divorced her, and she will come back!" Heiwa asked urgently: "Good uncle!" Where is the little woman's mother's house?" Li Xiang said: "You still go to someone's mother's door to go to the sun?" Heiwa begged, "Good uncle! When are you still laughing, tell me quickly. Li Xiang said: "Go north, thirty miles, there is a Tian family Shizi-" Heiwa made a gesture, affectionately touched Wang Xiang, who was still in a dream, and then opened the door and latched out of the horse number yard.

At breakfast the next day, Heiwa hesitated in the village alley of the Tian family, asking who hired someone to work. People said that Tian Xiucai had fallen ill recently and needed to hire someone to manage the cotton fields. Heiwa found the door of Tian Xiucai's house and met Xiucai's lady: "Auntie, I heard that our family wants to hire someone?" The lady looked at him and said, "Wait a while, I'll ask the shopkeeper." When the lady came out, she had an idea, and when she said the salary, she led Heiwa to the house to eat. What came out of the meal was indeed the little woman who worried him, his sister-in-law. The moment she walked out of the kitchen with the wooden plate and saw him, her face changed suddenly, and she almost lost the wooden plate. Heiwa lowered her head after a glance, pretending to be a stranger and sat down on a small wooden bench in the courtyard. She's lost weight! It's so thin that it's distressing!

Heiwa lived in the cattle pen as usual. Tian Xiucai's family originally had a long-term worker for many years, surnamed Sun, who was very honest and sincere, and Heiwa quickly became familiar with Sun. He told Heiwa that Tian Xiu was a nerd, and the villagers called him "a bookworm". After the examination was successful, he repeatedly failed to pass the exam, and he had no choice but not to take the exam until the Qing family no longer took the exam. Tian Xiucai still recites afternoon practice in the morning, reads and writes, and only works with crops in the season when the farm work is intensive. It is now the season when cotton is growing, but Tian Xiucai fell ill on the kang, unable to do work and unable to chew books. Sun Xiang whispered: "The talented woman had an affair with a long-term worker and gave someone a break!" Xiu is a scholar - a person who wants to save face! I was so angry that I fell ill!" Heiwa pretended to be surprised and let out an "oh". Sun Xiang said: "Tian Xiucai asked his relatives and friends to send this disgraced woman out of the door as soon as possible, as eager as a shovel to remove a bubble of dog shit in the courtyard. However, no decent person wants this notorious woman, and the poor family is afraid that it will be difficult for a pampered woman to serve her; It is better for them to marry a widow who is worthy of the name than to be a wealthy woman who does not keep her chastity!" After hearing this, Heiwa said: "Uncle Sun, you go and tell the shopkeeper Tian, I want this woman!" Sun Xiang was shocked: "You young boy, what do you want this woman to do?" Heiwa lied and said, "My dad is very poor, and he can't afford to hire a daughter-in-law for me!" Sun Xiang said awe-inspiringly: "Doll, don't want this second stubble woman to pull a naked man, even if you are a widow, even if you go to the city to visit the kiln, you can't clean up this rotten goods!" Heiwa said, "I've thought about it. My house is 100 miles away from here, and no matter how bad this woman's reputation is, she can't blow it to my village, as long as I take a strict look at her in the future. Sun Xiang saw that Heiwa insisted on marrying, and his words were not unreasonable, so he agreed: "I will go and say a word to the shopkeeper Tian without much trouble." I estimate that as soon as Tian Xiucai heard it, he would definitely not even want a dowry. ”

Tian Xiucai's attitude was as expected by Sun Xiang, a long-term worker, and he immediately made a decision, and his illness was reduced by half at the moment. Tian Xiucai immediately summoned Heiwa, not only did he not want a bride price, but instead posted two stacks of silver dollars to him, asking him to go home and buy some land and houses to spend the sun and moon; There is only one precept that no daughter is allowed to come to the door again; When I do have children and live a good life in the future, I will talk about it then. Heiwa agreed to them all. The next day, when the rooster crowed, Heiwa led the sister E'er out of Tianjiashizi, and not far from the village, the two hugged each other and cried bitterly......
