Volume 1 Chapter 15 Freemasonry (1)
The long-tongued women in the courtyard gathered in twos and threes between the main roads leading into the compound, and they either exchanged heads and whispered to each other;
Playing with right and wrong, his eyes are wandering, and he looks treacherous, lest the information slip away from his eyes; When words come out of their mouths, they turn the sun and the moon upside down, and turn white into black; Chirping and muttering is more disturbing than the noisy sparrows on the branches.
The road is the only way to the grassy slope, every time you step on it, Luo Yingchun will be from the inside out, the long-tongued women always gather on the road that people must pass, joking at the passers-by, sometimes sneering, sometimes staring at passers-by with monster-like eyes, which makes the lone passer-by uncomfortable.
On both sides of the road are some half-sized white stones, which are unique beliefs of the Qiang people.
Although today's Qingyun Township has long been sinicized, many descendants of the Qiang people have long lived in the way of the Han people, and many folk customs have sunk into the sea, but there are still a small number of them preserved.
For example: embroidery, hunting. In Qingyun Bay, almost all women and girls embroider embroidery, and they embroider colorful threads with delicate hands on cloth shoes, aprons or clothes, which is lifelike, just like the real thing in a painting. However, Luo Yingchun didn't know how to embroider, no one taught her, and she had no interest in it.
The bull wears a bamboo cage with its long beak, and it walks slowly and inadvertently sniffs the white stones on the side of the road with its nose.
"Oh my God! Gossip! ”
Seeing the long-tongued women blocking the middle of the road, Luo Yingchun did not flinch, she held her head high and told herself: to pass through the stinky flowers like a proud butterfly.
"Yo! Welcome spring! We're in the way! ”
The leader is Lu Duo's bitter mother Wu Guiqin, who is the leader of the long-tongued women in the courtyard.
"Please let me pass!" Luo Yingchun remained sober, and at the same time maintained the courtesy he should have towards his elders.
"You're going to get around the side, we're talking about getting up!"
Wu Guiqin said contemptuously, and pointed to the narrow path on the side of the road. It's not so much a trail as a dirt ground stepped on by passers-by.
Luo Yingchun knew that he was being harassed.
"My cow is too big to let it go there."
She insisted on passing the main road, for below the trail was a steep slope overgrown with lush nettles.
Although this monoecious nettle plant can be used in medicine, once the skin touches its thorny branches and leaves, it will be extremely itchy and unbearable in an instant, and a small red rash will appear, no matter how you rub and rub, it will not help, and the taste is like thousands of ants gnawing on the bones.
Luo Yingchun has tasted that taste more than once.
Yue Fengyi had worn rubber gloves several times and hit her bare face and the back of her hands with it, and even lifted her clothes and pressed back and forth on her delicate skin, or directly stuffed into her crotch!
Often, she could only scream heartbreakingly, and when the tears crossed the place where she was scratched by the nettle, the pain would instantly double! They were everywhere, and she wanted to cut them down!
"Let it go, but let it go! The minority obeys the majority, and the young and the old are orderly. Wu Guiqin was embarrassed, and the other long-tongued women also chimed in;
"The elders should let the juniors, my cow is so tall, how can I live? If the cow accidentally falls, do you have to lose money? ”
Luo Yingchun has long hated this group of people, they will only bully the soft and fear the hard.
A speech made Wu Guiqin embarrassed again and again, even if he was unforgiving on weekdays, but this son was also pale, and his eyes were so anxious that his eyes rolled.
"Okay, can I get over?" Luo Yingchun was extremely proud;
"Losing money? Thinking about money and going crazy for you! A shrill voice retorted;
"No big, no small, no rules, I'm going to tell your stepmother, see if she can't kill you!" Another, slightly old-fashioned voice emerged.
Of course, Yue Fengyi is also a member of this group of long-tongued women on weekdays.
Luo Yingchun wanted to fight back, but was stopped by Lu Dashu, who limped from behind. Lu Dashu carried a newly woven basket on his back and held a rusty sickle in his hand.
"Yingchun is going to do work, you should let her pass!"
Lu Dashu said calmly.
Lu Dashu is usually soft-spoken in the courtyard, only promised, like a transparent person, more than air.
At this time, his sword drawing is like a huge provocation for the long-tongued women, how can they allow the "waste man" to ride on their heads and scatter wild? In the eyes of most people, the disabled Lu Dashu is just a wasted person, he can only hide in the corner, like a maggot in the toilet.
"Ugly people make a lot of mistakes! The lame goes to the side and is lame! ”
Wu Guiqin's eyes widened angrily, as if it was a great shame for Lu Dashu to take the initiative to talk to her; "Look at you, lame old bachelor, standing on the bench is not as tall as me, what kind of talk do you have?"
Although he was accustomed to ridicule and white eyes on weekdays, the sudden blow at this time still made him at a loss! The cocoon stood alone, embarrassed, like a five-foot child standing at the feet of a giant.
The long-tongued women let out a deafening laugh.
Luo Yingchun was furious, she glanced at the faces of the long-tongued women who were distorted by laughter, and walked in front of Lu Dashu:
"Don't look down on people!"
Her chest rose and fell, as if there was a mass of fire that was about to gush out;
The long-tongued women stopped laughing one after another, and looked at her with incredulous eyes. Because she doesn't dare to be so "arrogant" on weekdays!
"Alright, welcome spring! Say no more! "Lu Dashu doesn't want to get into trouble;
"Nope! No! "Luo Yingchun's head shook like a rattle;" They bully people! It's too much of a deception! Bullying the soft and fearing the hard......"
She had endured them for a long time, and she thought that instead of chattering with them, it would be better to tear her face and break the net, and maybe the future would be better.
"Just look down on him! What about your little Spring Festival baby? Wu Guiqin said contemptuously, her eyes full of disdain;
"I mean, you can't pinch soft persimmons, pinch soft persimmons, you'll make a hand of mud, like pinching a hand full of!"
As soon as these words came out, Luo Yingchun was extremely happy, his body was as light as a swallow, he was under pressure for a long time, and once he was released, he was drenched in joy!
"Okay! Dead girl! "Wu Guiqin was enraged;" See if I don't tear your mouth! At a young age, scolding people without dirty words......"
Under the coaxing of others, Wu Guiqin rushed to Luo Yingchun violently, and she cursing while rolling up her sleeves; Luo Yingchun was so frightened that the scalper behind him also swayed when he saw this, hiding tightly behind Luo Yingchun, for fear of being beaten.
"You want to hit someone?" Lu Dashu was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, "You're not her parents, you can't beat her!" ”
"Dead single! No one is buried when they die! you! "Wu Guiqin is willing to give up, her personality is the same as Yue Fengyi.
"You ......"
"Me! I! I! Dead Single! It's better to find an old hen with a litter of chicks! ”
There was another shrill laugh, and everyone was waiting for the show.
Lu Dashu's face was red, and he was speechless; Luo Yingchun's face turned pale and she was nervous, she secretly thought about how to get out; Wu Guiqin's cow is tall and big, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and she can only suffer a loss if she fights hard, she doesn't want Luo Chaoqian to worry about her.
"I didn't mean to curse!" Luo Yingchun said;
"Yes, yes, forget it......" Lu Dashu persuaded him;
"Get the hell out of here! Dead cripple ......"
