On a hot and stuffy evening at the end of July, Lu Zilin walked into Mr. Leng's Chinese medicine hall with a white cloth wrapped around his head and a bottle of Taibai wine under his arm. After entering the house, Lu Zilin kicked the wine bottle on the table, tore off the filial piety cloth from his head and hung it on the wooden peg of the earthen wall, and sighed loudly and innocently: "Brother Sir, do you think it is evil? As soon as the old gentleman entered the ground, my yard was empty! It was so empty that as soon as I entered the street, I couldn't sit still. Today, our brethren have a drink. Mr. Leng was very appreciative of Lu Zilin's mood, and immediately asked Xianggong to make three or four snacks as soon as possible, a plate of cold cucumbers, a plate of scrambled eggs, a plate of fried lettuce, and a plate of fried peanuts. Mr. Leng's drinking is the same as drinking cold water, drinking any famous wine can't taste the fragrance, no matter how much you drink, you will never see a red face and a yellow face, let alone get drunk, he sees others drinking so deliciously and drunk that they are ugly, and often feel inexplicable. Lu Zilin is addicted to alcohol, when he is happy, when he is depressed, he drinks cold, he drinks too hot, he drinks good things and he drinks bad things, and he must drink alcohol to be strong before entering Xiao'e's cave; He drinks and is not happy to drink alone, he must have a group of drinking companions, at least one person must accompany him, while laughing and shouting, the most painful thing is to guess the fist order so noisy that people turn their backs, and gradually enter the relaxed realm of bitterness and happiness. "Brother Sir, I have a difficult sentence...... Lu Zilin's eyes began to glow with wine, "After thinking about it, I'll tell you!" Mr. Leng didn't speak, grabbed the wine glass from the table and invited him to drink, encouraging Lu Zilin to say what he wanted to say as soon as possible. Lu Zilin poured a glass of wine on his neck, sighed loudly in his mouth and said: "I heard a gossip, saying that Xiaowen and the goods in the kiln are here and there......" Mr. Leng couldn't help but be surprised, he guessed that Lu Zilin might want to talk about the matter between them, Lu Zhaopeng's refusal to return home to resist the marriage has long been unable to cover up, and the most embarrassing situation is actually the father of both parties to this marriage, he and him. Lu Zilin has apologized to him many times, and has repeatedly told him the measures he will take to subdue his son...... Is it time for a new approach? Unexpectedly, it was something entanglement between Xiaowen and the black baby woman. Mr. Leng said categorically: "Brother, you don't believe what you say to the ghosts. Lu Zilin nodded sharply: "Yes, yes, yes!" As soon as I heard this, not only did I not believe it, but I slapped the person who reported it to me! I said, 'If Hyo-moon has this with her, then the mud god in the temple will also have this with her.' The man ran away with his mouth, but then two more people came to report, saying that they had noses and eyes, all saying that they had seen Xiaowen enter and exit the kiln with their own eyes, one said that he was looking for pigs at night and bumped into Xiaowen entering the kiln, and the other said that he came back from a relative's house in the middle of the night to see Xiaowen slip out of the kiln, and the two did not meet one night. Do you believe it? Can I slap these two in the mouth again?" Mr. Leng said: "If this thing is true, it is even more powerful than the bandits smashing their waists, this is Jiaxuan's life!" Lu Zilin said: "When I sent the two people who reported to go out, one of them still gave a mouth and sealed his mouth first: no nonsense! I don't think it's good for me to say this to Jiaxuan, Brother Jiaxuan can't see my innocence in his heart; But it's not okay if I don't tell Brother Jiaxuan about this, and in the future, Brother Jiaxuan will complain that I will hide it from him; I think about it, only you are the only one to say this, none of us want to watch the Bai family make a fool...... He and you are in-laws, and I am with you earlier, and I hope everyone will be honorable......"

Mr. Leng went to apply medicine to Bai Jiaxuan as usual the next day, looked at his in-laws who still had a calm demeanor despite the pain, and remembered his judgment the night before: Jiaxuan could withstand the blow of the bandits, and he would definitely not be able to withstand the blow of the rumor. Mr. Leng was very sad and painful in his heart, but his face still maintained a cold tone that would never change, and he didn't even say a word of comfort as in the past, but only cared about healing his wounds. After the unbearable dog days and the rainy autumn, when Bai Jiaxuan's back injury healed and reappeared in the streets and alleys of Bailu Village, the terrible rumor buried in his heart waited for the day of his birth. He was torn by how to pass this sentence to Jiaxuan, and it seemed that he had never bothered so much to say a word......

Mr. Leng looked at Bai Jiaxuan who was lying on the chair and said: "Brother, I see that those who come to the world without happiness are all suffering, the poor have the suffering of the poor, the rich have the suffering of the rich, and the imperial officials and nobles also have unspeakable suffering. This is what comes with the birth of man. You see, everyone is crying in this world, and I haven't heard of anyone who is not crying or laughing when they land on the ground. What's up? People don't want to come to the world, the world is too bitter, and if you can't be quiet and leisurely in heaven, God will kick people down...... Since people are destined to suffer when they come to this world, they understand that no matter what kind of calamities they encounter, they can think about it......" Mr. Leng said so many things at once, even he himself was quite surprised. Bai Jiaxuan said: "We have to get things clear first. Whether it's true or not, don't listen to it as gossip. What kind of gossip is this? Murderous gossip!"

Bai Jiaxuan walked through the streets of Bailu Town with his waist bent, and turned into the T-shaped road of Bailu Village, a thick layer of snow had accumulated under his feet, and it was clattering, and the hands and necks on his back felt the coldness of the snowflakes melting, and the snow in the sky was still falling. When he entered the street gate of the courtyard, he had a clear outline of how to deal with the gossip that Mr. Leng had revealed to him, and it was not complicated to deal with it, and there was no need to ask anyone about it, and if it didn't work, it might be worse. He believed that as long as he kept an eye on Hyowen's actions as if nothing had happened, he would be able to see it at a glance. He made a casual appearance that nothing had happened and asked, "Hyo-wen is asleep?" Xiancao didn't care and said, "Make peace with the old six family." ”

Bai Jiaxuan's chest was pounding, and he felt that something hot rushed to the top of his head, and the shock and anger aroused by this extraordinary gossip had only now become irrepressible, and the outline and steps he had thought of to deal with this matter when he returned were all nullified. He re-tied one of the unfastened trouser belts, and grabbed the crutches that the fairy grass had picked up from the firewood shed from behind the door, strongly foreseeing the important use of the crutches. When he went out, he did not forget to cover up the real purpose of going out at this time: "The descendants of the sixth child are difficult to speak. The sixth asked me to go to the town to suppress the evil. I almost forgot ......" he stepped out of the threshold and took a step towards another disaster.

Bai Jiaxuan froze when he came to the door of Bai Lao Liu's house. There is a row of four dilapidated houses on the narrow foundation of the old six houses, there is no fence and no fence is an open wind yard, everything is clear at a glance, the four houses are all closed, there is no light and no sound, Bai Lao Liu's snoring like thunder rushed out from the south of the house, undulating in the open wind yard. Bai Jiaxuan felt paralyzed all over his body at that moment. He walked out of the open courtyard of Lao Liu's house, and seemed to have a thousand hands pushing him up the slow slope at the east end of the village, and saw the cave where Kong usually did not even have the interest to look at it; The thought of forcing him into this filthy corner to do such a filthy thing as rape made him miserable with anger and sorrow in his chest; He stepped from the slow track to the flat field of the kiln courtyard, and his legs trembled uncontrollably; He walked to the window of the kiln, which was covered with a layer of black linen paper, and heard the whispering of a whisper inside; Bai Jiaxuan came to the end of his life at that moment, suddenly rushed forward like a dog, stepped on the door panel of the cave, and with a bang, he fell down at the same time.

The sound of the clatter was tantamount to the thunder of a snowy night, which shook the tenderness and sweetness on the fire kang in the warm cave. Xiaowen was completely paralyzed, lying on the kang and unable to move, the muscles and bones of his whole body were broken and broken, and only the flesh and skin that could not support the pole were left. The thunder rang out, and silence returned. Xiao'e slipped down from the kang, pouting the light of the jiriko against the crack in the door and looking out, there was no abnormality in the hazy snow, and her eyes turned down to see a black tower lying on the snow at the door. She breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head and held on to the side of the kang, leaned down against Xiaowen's ear and said, "Don't worry!" A guy who wants to eat is frozen and hard and falls to the door!" Xiaowen suddenly jumped up and opened the quilt, hurriedly put on his clothes and trousers, slipped off the kang to hook the cotton nest, pulled the door latch, and jumped over the person who was lying at the door; After getting off the flat stilt of the kiln courtyard and entering the village alley, his heart seemed to beat again.

Xiao'e got dressed and walked out of the kiln door to see if the unlucky ghost who fell at the door was dead or alive; She squatted down and touched the man's nose, and just touched the bridge of his nose, which was as cold as iron, when she suddenly gasped and fell to the ground; From the neat clothes and rickety waist of the fallen man, she recognized the patriarch, where was the poor and frightened old man who asked for food! Xiao'e got up and retreated back into the kiln before she felt frightened, and she was so anxious that she circled around the kiln. She heard a cough in the kiln yard, and immediately jumped out of the kiln door and ran across the kiln yard to block Lu Zilin who was walking down the slow road. Xiao'e said: "Oh no, it's blind! The patriarch was angry...... "Lu Zilin glanced at the door of the kiln under Xiao'e's finger, turned over and stilted up to the kiln courtyard, and stood beside Bai Jiaxuan, who fell to the ground, and was silent for a long time, like admiring a prey that was shot by himself. Xiao'e was so anxious that she poked him in the waist: "What should I do?" What do you do if someone dies? What are you still staring at?" Lu Zilin bent down, reached out to touch Bai Jiaxuan's nose, straightened up and said to Xiao'e: "Don't worry, rest assured that you will have one hundred and twenty hearts." Can't die. This man lives long. Xiao'e said anxiously: "If you can't die, you can't die!" What is he doing here?" Lu Zilin said: "It is said that it will be over if I send him back on his back, but he will not be able to turn the corner even if he turns the corner...... Okay, you go and ask Mr. Leng to figure out a way, I should pretend not to know about this. Go quickly, be careful that if you really die for a long time, you will be in trouble. Xiao'e turned around and ran out of the courtyard to find Mr. Leng, and just ran down the slow slope, Lu Zilin called out to her again: "Forget it, I'll carry it back along the way." Xiao'e ran back to the kiln yard again. Lu Zilin gritted his teeth and said in his heart: "It just means that you can't turn around and hide your face, and you don't have the slightest room to hide." What should I do when I see you come down? I'm going to force you to the 'gate'. He picked up Bai Jiaxuan, said goodbye to Xiao'e, and said, "Do you still remember what I said to you?" You're good at it. Xiao'e knows what that sentence means: if you can pull Xiaowen into your arms, you will urinate on his father's face. She had now achieved her goal of revenge, but she did not have the joy of revenge, and was frightened by the unexpected and serious consequences. She watched Lu Zilin turn around with Bai Jiaxuan on her back, and before she could get out of the kiln, she stilted into the kiln to close the kiln door, and suddenly fell on the kang.

Lu Zilin carried Bai Jiaxuan on his back and walked through the snow-covered village lanes, kicked the door of the Bai family with his foot, and said to the panicked Xiancao: "Ask first...... I don't know what's going on. Save people first!" A needle of the fairy grass pierced into the person, Bai Jiaxuan grunted in his throat for a while, finally opened his eyes, sighed and closed his eyes again. Lu Zilin pretended not to know anything: "What are you doing with Brother Li Jiaxuan?" Why did you fall at the door of Heiwa's kiln?" Then he took his leave.

Bai Jiaxuan was pricked by his wife's fairy grass with a needle, and he sighed and closed his eyes again. He stubbornly waved his hand to stop the chaotic shouting of the old and young in the family, "You all go back to sleep and let me rest." "I still have my eyes closed when I speak. Only the fairy grass was left in the room, and Bai Jiaxuan still lay quietly with his eyes closed. Everything can no longer be remedied, and the most decisive and decisive means must be taken to wash away the shame that Xiaowen has smeared on him, his ancestors, and the entire family. Believing that his family gathering in front of the kang would only hinder his decision, he would only add to the chaos, so he waved them away mercilessly. He just lay down and thought about not moving, listening to the rooster crow again and again, before he coughed and sat up, and said to Xiancao, "You call the third brother." ”

Lu San was very puzzled in the horse, how could Jiaxuan fall in that kiln courtyard? He sat on the edge of the kang with a dry tobacco pouch, one foot on the ground and the other on stilts, elbows on his knees, smoking a cigarette in confusion. Xiaowen walked in with his head bowed, and leaned timidly on the opposite trough gang, he thought that Xiaowen was as worried about Jiaxuan as he was, but he didn't know that Xiaowen had a ghost in his heart. He sincerely advised Xiaowen and said, "Sensei is sad. Your dad would just take a break. Xu was lost in the snow. Xiaowen leaned on the trough and hung his head, he was very glad that he should not have been unlucky when he slipped home from Xiao'e's cave, and he felt that the heart blocked in his throat and eyes returned to its original place when he got into the bed in the dark; When he heard a knock on the door and saw Lu Zilin walking into the courtyard with his father on his back, his knees weakened and he fell to the ground; All this was temporarily overshadowed by my father's illness. He has no way but to die, and he has no strength to live until dawn, and he can't even live long enough to see his father again. He felt the need to leave one last word of remorse to Lu San, so he walked into the horse. He raised his chin that hung down to his chest and said, "Third uncle, I'm leaving!" If you say a word to him in the future, you will say that I said 'I am not human'......" Lu San turned his head and pulled out the cigarette pouch in his mouth: "What do you say?" Xiaowen said: "I have no face to live after I have done a shameful thing!" Lu San then got a note of Jiaxuan's question at the door of the cave. He removed his legs from the side of the kang and walked up to Xiaowen step by step, Tie Qing looked at Xiaowen's drooping head with a green face, suddenly opened his arm and slapped him twice, and trembled his lips: "Shame on the ancestors...... What do you mean to be ashamed of your ancestors? This is called shame on the ancestors! Heiwa is ashamed of your ancestors, and you are ashamed of your ancestors......" At this time, Xiancao walked in. Lu Sansheng was angry and walked into the west house with Xiancao, and when he saw Jiaxuan, he couldn't help but sigh: "Jiaxuan, wow, you are so bitter!" Bai Jiaxuan held back the tears in his eyes and said, "Do you know what happened?" I don't need to say any more when I know that. You clean up now, get up, go into the mountain and call Xiaowu back, and tell him to come back immediately. Let's just say I'm going to have an emergency and I have to breathe......"
