Chapter XVII.3
The act of punishing Xiaowen once again shook Bailuyuan. The method and pattern of punishment are the same as the previous time, and the procedure of reviewing the rules of the township covenant before the punishment is carried out by Xiaowen's younger brother Xiaowu.
Bai Xiaowu's appearance came at the right time. He wore a blue cotton robe, his straight waist was as straight as his father's waist was before, his physique was strong and burly, his shoulders were broad, and his hips were plump, much more calm than the thin and slender filial piety. Bai Jiaxuan still sat on a chair on the steps, and Xiaowu's return took the place of the indisputable Xiaowen in time, and also filled the void in his heart in time. After reciting the relevant provisions of the township covenant and clan rules, Xiaowu walked up to his father and asked for instructions to start implementing the clan rules. Bai Jiaxuan got down from the chair, stilted down the steps, and walked through the passage let by the clansmen, with his hands behind his back. Bai Jiaxuan didn't look at anyone, walked straight to the locust tree, grabbed a bundle of sour jujube trees from the ground, and at this moment, three or four people fell to their knees in front of him. Bai Jiaxuan knew what they wanted to do when they knelt down, so he ignored it, turned around and raised the thorn brush and pulled it over. Xiaowen screamed one after another, and blood suddenly stained his cheeks. Bai Jiaxuan was very ruthless, a few percent more ruthless than the last time he beat Xiao'e and Goudan. This son has lost his face, his heart has failed to live up to his expectations, he has been discouraged for him far more than the catastrophe of being broken by bandits, and he has used his thorn brush to whip this evil seed to vent his hatred and fight instead of putting on a show in front of his people. Bai Jiaxuan gritted his teeth and raised the thorn brush again, forgetting the precept that each person can only fight once, his arm was caught, and it turned out to be Lu Zilin.
Lu Zilin was one of the three or four kneeling pleasers. This action of kneeling to the patriarch was actually planned by Lu Zilin. After he heard Xiaowu's decision to punish Xiaowen that Bai Jiaxuan told him, he solemnly found the Bai family and clamored for Bai Jiaxuan to cancel this execution: "I dare to say that Xiaowen is not to blame at all!" You can't afford to toss this too!" Bai Jiaxuan's face was cold, and his heart was as decisive as iron: "The gongs have been struck, what are you still doing when you say this!" If you can come to the ancestral hall later, even if you give your brother a farewell. When Lu Zilin went to the ancestral hall in the future, he complained bitterly and cruelly to a few old men in the village alley: "Are you old men all stone-hearted?" Jiaxuan wants to rectify Xiaowen, can you bear to call him whole? Why don't you persuade him and stop him? This filial piety is not as good as others, how can he be beaten casually with a thorn brush?" The old men were moved and remorseful by his enthusiastic rebuke, so they planned this episode of kneeling.
Lu Zilin snatched the thorn brush from Bai Jiaxuan's hand and knelt down again, saying, "Brother Jiaxuan! If you don't spare Xiaowen, I won't get up!" Bai Jiaxuan said with a cold face: "I don't accept your bowing. I will not accept anyone who bows down to me today. Whoever likes to kneel, kneel. Xiaowu, go down—" With that, he walked through the human nest with his hand on his robe, and sat down on the chair on the steps of the ancestral hall again. Bai Xiaowu took the thorn brush from the hand of the person holding the torture instrument, and struck it according to the chest of his brother Xiaowen**, and the blood flowed down the chest one by one......
Just like the dispute in the courtyard of the ancestral hall, it has just happened in the courtyard of the Bai family. The old lady Bai Zhao's wife Bai Wu and her two daughters-in-law formed an alliance to resolutely oppose Bai Jiaxuan's poisonous punishment of Xiaowen. Bai Zhao couldn't persuade his son, so he scolded: "You killed Xiaowen, how do you look like an old man?" If you want to tie Xiaowen to a tree, I will strip naked and stand in front of Xiaowen, you first brush me to death with a thorn brush, and then brush Xiaowen to death!" Xiancao cried and admonished, and the two daughters-in-law pleaded together. Bai Jiaxuan didn't let go of anyone, didn't even say a word, and they were never moved when they scolded, cried, begged, or begged. Until the third day, Xiaowu and Lu San came back from the mountain, Bai Jiaxuan called all the family members to the main hall of the upper room, distributed wax and incense in front of the sacrificial table, and then asked everyone's opinion: "I have something to say to the face of the ancestors." "The daughter-in-law of Bai Zhao, Bai Wu, and Xiaowen Xiaowu stated the attitude that had already been stated, and it was the turn of Bai Xiaowu, a crucial person. Bai Xiaowu stood in front of the sacrificial table and said word by word: "Do it according to the clan rules." Grandma Bai Zhao was stunned, and his mother Bai Wu's slap had already been slapped in his face. Xiaowu glanced at his mother, who was neither annoyed nor ashamed, but still had no change in his face. Bai Jiaxuan stopped his wife Bai Wu's rash actions with an angry look, turned his face and asked Xiaowu, "Why?" Why do you say?" Bai Xiaowu said calmly: "This is the founding discipline of the Bai family. Dad, I don't dare to forget what you said......" Bai Jiaxuan hurriedly slammed his fist on the table and said, "Go! Forget the discipline of establishing a family, it's not a filial piety that will be ruined, the Bai family will be ruined-"
What Bai Jiaxuan inherited from his father included the fields under the original plains, the cattle and horses with troughs, the houses on the base of the village, the yellow and white goods in clay pots hidden in the earthen walls and under the feet, and the wealth that could not be seen or touched, that is, the discipline of establishing a family that Xiaowu recounted to him. Even Bai Jiaxuan's earliest memories of the family can only rely on legends, the history of this village and the Bai family is too long and ancient, so long and old that its descendants can't figure it out and can't remember. From Bai Jiaxuan to the fifth generation, it is about the beginning of an era in the prosperity of the Bai family, the ancestor in poverty and frustration to study and self-relieve, reorganize the family business and rebuild the family rules, is a decisive influence on the modern family history of the Bai family, the clan still often mention his name Bai Xiushen. Although the family history and family history are long, the names of the ancestors who have a great influence on the clan and family are still handed down, and only those names with mediocre achievements have been obliterated. For several generations, the Bai family's own family is like a cotton sleeve in a cotton coat, which is shrunk into the cotton coat, and then swells when it is disassembled; When the family business was developed, there were no fields and roof tiles, and when the family business declined, there was no place to stand; What is undoubted in my limited memory is that there have been no crops in the field, no livestock in the trough, no grain in the stockpile, and no expansion or shrinkage of the farm. In the short few days after the Xiaowen incident, Bai Jiaxuan not only thought about this unexpected event, but also remembered the history of the family and the former sages, and formed the reason for the basic stability of the family without major ups and downs. His discipline seems to have restrained the floods of the family business and prevented it from devastation. No matter whether the family business rises or falls, the patriarchal status of the Bai family has never wavered, and the prestige of the Bai family as the patriarch who has practiced the family rules has been throughout the world. A patriarch led the people to dig a well in a year of great drought and died of vomiting blood, and the weathered Bai Keqin's blurred handwriting can still be seen on the well platform. A patriarch led his clan to be cut in two by a knife in the fight against the thief, and became the hero of Bailuyuan's feat of clearing the alien race in one fell swoop. Not all patriarchs have great deeds, and there are a lot of quiet mediocre generations, and even every two generations there will be a ruined patriarch, which is a great harm to the family, and must be eliminated as soon as possible. ……
When Bai Jiaxuan heard Xiaowu's words, a hot current rolled up in his heart, and he was so excited that he burst into tears, and he needed to hear this at this time and now. Bai Zhao retorted unwillingly: "The ancestors are all good ancestors who understand human nature, and no one is as hard-hearted as you!" Bai Jiaxuan said quietly: "The ancestors have never had such a blind thing. "Xiaowen was irretrievably pushed into the ancestral hall and tied to the locust tree.
The second drastic measure taken by Bai Jiaxuan was to split up. Bai Jiaxuan decided to ask only his eldest brother-in-law, Mr. Zhu, to supervise the separation of the family, and his uncle, who was an indispensable child for such an occasion, was not invited, and the mountains were too far away from here. If you can't even handle your own family affairs properly, how can you make peace with the people of the clan and the village? Everything has been carefully calculated and carefully allocated, and the proportion of the land allocated to Xiaowen is consistent with the proportion of all land priorities. It is said that the eldest son should occupy the landlord's house, but after his parents died, Bai Jiaxuan was alive and Bai Zhao's family was also alive, and Bai Jiaxuan could not live in the landlord's house but could only live in the west house. Considering the convenience of production and life, Bai Jiaxuan decided to divide the east and west houses of the gatehouse to Xiaowen, among which the Ming Room was owned by the family as Yongdao. Bai Jiaxuan kept his mouth shut about the yellow and white goods in storage, they were family savings, unless there was an unusually major change in circumstances that could not be moved, and no one should ask about these stored accounts before he kicked his legs and breathed. Bai Xiaowen's face was bandaged with a medicinal cloth and did not reveal the truth, he just nodded, stretched out his right hand with a blood scab and pressed his fingerprint on the contract. Mr. Zhu repeated with a smile: "The house is a signboard, it is tired, and saving money is a ghost." The house should be small, the land should be small, and the scalper should be done slowly. These widely circulated Mr. Zhu's famous words, Bai Jiaxuan and his sons actually heard them from the creator himself for the first time. Mr. Zhu did not reprimand Xiaowen's mistakes strictly, and wrote a two-word banner with a pen: Shen Du.
Lu Zilin went to Shenhe Village to drink wine on the night of punishing Xiaowen. Although his attempt to kneel on the ground to intercede for Hyowen failed, he won the admiration of many people and concealed the maker of this flower case more closely. In order to show his sincerity, he knelt down until the end of the execution. Bai Jiaxuan hurriedly twisted his dog-like waist from the steps of the ancestral hall, helped him up with both hands, and then helped up the three old men who were kneeling together and said, "I have received your generosity!" After Lu Zilin finished this scene, he went to Shenhe Village to find a few good friends to drink, and he drank heartily this night, walked back to Bailu Village at midnight, came down from the slow road at the east end of the village, and plopped to the entrance of the cave and knocked on the door. Xiao'e asked who knocked on the door. Lu Zilin said loudly: "What are you asking?" Your brother, your uncle, you're big with me!" He drank too much and got a little out of control, and the joy of the full implementation of the conspiracy was a little uncontrollable, and it was time for him and his co-conspirator Xiao'e to enjoy this wonderful drama together. The door latch slidied, and Lu Zilin couldn't wait to push the door in with wine, and hugged Xiao'e, who was lying on the edge of the kang. Xiao'e shook and flung into the quilt. Lu Zilin smiled and realized that Xiao'e's padded jacket was draped over her shoulders. Lu Zilin leaned on the edge of the kang and undressed and took off his socks, and said, "Big kiss balls!" You are angry with you and decorate your face, our anger is out, revenge, you should live and live! Today, the black is all up to you, you say how big you are, how big you want to be, how big you want to go, if you want to ride a big horse, you will swim, if you want to be the king, you will lie down and spin ...... mill" said and stripped off his clothes and got into the bed. Xiao'e asked, "Are you willing to eat my and drink my pee?" Lu Zilin smiled and recited the hymn composed by Goudan: "I'd rather eat what Xiao'e has under than what has fallen in the ground, and I'd rather drink what Xiao'e has urinated than what has fallen in the pot...... Great willingness. Lu Zilin's hand was blocked. Xiao'e said: "You just said that today is black and I am alone, I haven't said anything yet, you are making nonsense?" You fall asleep first, I have something to ask you, is Xiaowen heavy?"
"Heavy."
"Who hit the first brush?"
"Dad! Who else could there be? Patriarch!"
"I heard that the second child is back?"
"It's back. This guy looks like he's still a tough guy. ”
"How is Hyowen's injury?"
"Don't ask! There is no skin on the face. ”
"Did Mr. Xiaowen Xunleng read it?"
"What the are you doing with all this nonsense?"
Xiao'e was silent. On the day after punishing Xiaowen, Xiao'e heard the sound of gongs and shouts in the village alley, her whole body cramped, her scalp was numb, her legs were weak, and she couldn't sit still in the cave. She achieved her goal of revenge, but she did not enjoy the pleasure of revenge. After she dragged Xiaowen into the brick kiln with a vicious purpose, she was surprised to find that there was a strange man like Xiaowen in the world, and it was impossible to untie the belt of his pants when he pulled on his pants, and she felt strange and funny at that time; Later, Hyo-moon followed her schedule and went into her cave many times, and it was still the same; She watched him come to the cave every time he came to the cave in a hurry, and left in disappointment, so she couldn't help but sympathize with the poor man and said, "Forget it, you just came." Xiaowen smiled bitterly and said, "I also think that we don't have the ability to forget it, but I can't help it!" Until the night when Bai Jiaxuan fainted and died on the snow outside the cave door, Xiaowen had not yet entered her body, which was no longer valuable...... She couldn't sit still or stand in the cave, pretending to pull firewood and walking to the wheat straw stack at the edge of the kiln, her ears catching the movement from the village, and occasionally she could hear a conversation as people flocked to the ancestral hall. She no longer felt ridiculous when she thought of Xiaowen's panic on the kang in her kiln, but realized that he was indeed a good person who couldn't do bad things. She tried hard to recall the scene when Xiaowen led her people to beat her to a bloody blur, in order to rekindle her hatred, and stabilize her mentality with the rationality of this revenge behavior of retribution, but the result was in her heart again and again: I really hurt someone!
Lu Zilin said impatiently: "What are you doing with Xiaowen and Xiaowen?" Let him take away the sins he deserves. Let's have a hot fight today!" Xiao'e said, "Okay—yes!" As he spoke, he jumped on Lu Zilin's waist and abdomen and kicked down. Lu Zilin grinned and groaned: "Alas! Kiss the balls, you lighten up...... I almost ruined my big intestines and liver!" Xiao'e jumped on his chest again. Lu Zilin shouted again: "Kiss the ball, you broke the big ribs!" Lu Zilin was intoxicated with pleasure, and felt a burst of dampness and heat on his face, and Xiao'e peed on his face. Lu Zilin turned over and sat up, and slapped Xiao'e in the face: "**!...... you" Xiao'e asked: "Didn't you just say that today is black and I want to be what I want......" Lu Zilin was annoyed and angry: "Give you a smile, you forgot what your surname is?" Give you a straw and you'll be a crutch!**! Talk to me and make trouble! I'm not on the same scale with you!" Xiao'e jumped up: "You are in the Buddha Hall for me to curl up in the Land Hall; You are flying in the sky, and I am drilling in the mud of the waterlogged pond; You are in the security center, five people and six people, I opened a ** shop kiln yard in the rotten kiln! You are the Buddha, you are the god, you are the township of five people and six people, what are you doing in my ** kiln? Do you want to become a god or a Buddha when you go to the kiln? You're amazing, let's just walk around the streets of White Deer Town like this now, and see if people spit on me or on you?" Lu Zilin hurriedly put on his clothes and pants and scolded again and again: "You're crazy, you're crazy!" You shout at me to kill you again!" But he didn't see Xiao'e reined, so he hurriedly jumped off the kang to grab the door and go out of the kiln. Xiao'e stalked and scolded at the door of the kiln: "Luxiang asks you to remember me, I will also remember, I will pee on your face, I will pee on the face of Xiangxiang!"
