Marin saw the fine grass squatting on the snow next to the latrine in the backyard, and the wind picked up the floating snow on the ground and ran quickly around the yard. The grass shuddered for a moment, and then shouted in a childish voice: Whirlwind Whirlwind, you are a ghost, three scythes cut your legs......

Marin remembered in a trance that when he was young, he also shouted at the wind. He stood there, one at the grass, and then at the grass. Marin thought it was time for it to end. With that in mind, he pushed open the door to the lower room.

Qiu Ju combed her hair in the house, and a copper basin was placed in front of her, which was filled with water, and a toothless comb was held in Qiu Ju's hand. Ma Lin has seen Qiu Ju comb his hair countless times before, Qiu Ju at that time was two thick and long braids, since Ma Lin was sixteen years old and Qiu Ju had a round house, Qiu Ju's two braids were cut, Qiu Ju's hair was short, but still thick and black, Qiu Ju's hair had a very good smell.

At this time, Ma Lin stood in front of Qiu Ju, he took a deep breath, and the faint fragrance of hair drifted into his lungs again, and he moved and moved again in a deep part of his body, and for a while he felt that his mouth was dry. As soon as he entered the door, Qiu Ju glanced at him, and after glancing at him, she buried her head and her eyes fell on the toothless comb. He said dryly: Qiu Ju, I'm going to divorce you.

I know. Qiu Ju fiddled with the comb in her hand.

Marin didn't really want to talk like that, but for some reason, the taste changed as soon as the words came out.

He said again: I will kill Lu Da.

She said, "I know."

He also said: If I don't kill Lu Da, I won't be a man.

She said, "I know that."

He wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth but didn't say it, and he stood there, not knowing what to do for a while.

I don't know why, he has never seen Qiu Ju as his wife in his heart. He and Qiu Jufang are round, and things between men and women have been done many times, but he still hasn't found the feeling that she is his wife. Qiu Ju is not beautiful, but he has a kind heart and eyes, and he will hurt people, which he knows in his heart. After he fell in love with bayberry in Fengtian City, he swore in his heart at that time that he would treat two women well in this life, one was Qiu Ju and the other was Yangmei. He and Yangmei have never been married, and they already regard Yangmei as their own woman. Maybe it's providence.

He remembered that when he was a child, he climbed to the old poplar tree in the middle of the street in the winter to dig out the crow's nest, and the crow's nest was taken down, but his little hands were frozen red, and when he returned to the house, it hurt like a cat biting a dog, Qiu Ju caught his hands, held them in his own hands, and blew his frozen little hands with the heat in her mouth, which was still painful, hot, and numb. Later, Qiu Ju untied his padded jacket and put a pair of small hands into his chest, and sure enough, he didn't hurt, only the heat remained, and the heat spread all over his body through his hands.

Qiu Ju said: Does it still hurt?

He shook his head—

Qiu Ju said again: Will you still be naughty in the future?

He laughed without saying a word.

Qiu Ju raised her hand in anger and slapped it on the door of his head.

Another time, Marin accidentally broke a bowl while eating.

Ma Zhanshan felt sorry for the lace big porcelain bowl, Ma Zhanshan not only felt sorry for these, he felt sorry for every grass and every inch of land at home. Seeing that the lace porcelain bowl was broken apart by Ma Lin, Ma Zhanshan was furious and distressed. At that time, Ma Zhanshan's asthma was not very serious, so he was very powerful. Ma Zhanshan, who was very powerful, dragged Ma Lin from the kang to the ground, and scolded in his mouth: You little loser, I will kill you.

So Ma Zhanshan's slap hit Ma Lin's head and face.

Marin shouted, "Daddy, I didn't mean to."

Ma Zhanshan didn't care whether his son did it on purpose or not, he wanted to make Ma Lin remember for a long time, every tile and every grass in the house was hard-won, he raised a very powerful slap and hit Ma Lin with a head and face.

Qiu Ju stood aside and was stunned at first, Ma Zhanshan had beaten Qiu Ju like this countless times before, even if Qiu Ju accidentally wasted a grain of rice while cooking, he would be beaten by Ma Zhanshan. Qiu Ju stayed for a moment, then came to her senses, she pounced on Ma Lin's body with a "woo-wow-" and said with teary eyes: Dad, if you want to beat me, I am older than him.

That time was deeply remembered by Marin.

In the memories of childhood and adolescence, Qiu Ju is a tall and tall woman and a warm woman in Marin's heart.

Winters in the north are cold, and nights are even colder.

Ma Lin and Qiu Ju lived in the lower house in childhood, one in the south and the other in the north. In order to save firewood, Ma Zhanshan and a few long-term workers crowded on a kang in the upper house. Ma Zhanshan never let Qiu Ju add an extra handful of firewood to the stove pit, so it was very cold in the house. Ma Lin shivered every night when he lay on the cold kang and shivered, the colder he became, the more he couldn't sleep, he shivered in the cold quilt with his upper teeth knocking on his lower teeth, and kept inhaling in his mouth.

Qiu Ju was in another room, with a door in the middle, with a door frame but no door. Ma Lin's inhalation was obviously heard by Qiu Ju, so she asked: Brother, are you cold? Before the round house, Qiu Ju had always called Ma Lin his brother.

Cold, cold. Marin replied with a shudder.

Qiu Ju got up from her bed, walked over quickly, and quickly got into Marin's bed. She hugged Marin tightly with her arm. Ma Lin felt that Qiu Ju's body was hot and soft, and Ma Lin gradually stretched out his body in Qiu Ju's body temperature, and soon fell asleep.

The next morning, when Marin opened her eyes, Qiu Ju had already gotten up, and she had a lot of work to do, cooking, laundry, and feeding pigs and chickens. But her warmth still lingered in Marin's bed, and the faint scent of hair wafted around Marin from time to time. Since then, Marin has been very willing to smell Qiu Ju's hair.

Since then, as soon as Ma Lin got into the bed, he shouted at Qiu Ju's house: Qiu Ju, I'm cold.

Come on. Qiu Ju replied this every time.

After a while, Qiu Ju came over, got into his quilt with ease, and used his body to warm Marin. Marin ushered in another dawn in a warm dream.

Later, they all grew up, and Ma Lin didn't want to ask Qiu Ju to warm the quilt for himself anymore, and Qiu Ju didn't come over, and finally until they had a round house.

That year he was sixteen and she was eighteen.

When the two young bodies meet again, of course, it is a different taste and mood. However, the happy time is so short.

In Fengtian City, when Ma Lin married Yangmei, he didn't think about taking a break from Qiu Ju. Qiu Ju was his first woman, and Yang Mei was the second. Before he and Yangmei got married, he had made this clear to Yangmei. Yangmei doesn't care, he doesn't care, one is in the backing mountain, the other is in Fengtian, maybe these two women will not see each other in this life. What I didn't expect was that the world had changed so quickly, and they had met in this situation.

Ma Lin looked at Qiu Ju, who was both familiar and unfamiliar in front of him, and felt that he had a lot to say to Qiu Ju, but he didn't know what to say.

When he learned that Qiu Ju was snatched by Lu Da to the Tiger's Mouth Cave and was not sent back until after giving birth, Marin was furious that night, and he couldn't wait to pull out the fast gun on his waist, first shot Qiu Ju to death, and then shot the little wild seed. Later, he calmed down, if the shot a few years ago turned out to be Lu Da, there would be no such things in the future, if you want to hate, you can only hate yourself, it is his own temporary softness, leaving the root of today's bane. But he also hated Qiu Ju, and thought about it thousands of times in his heart: Qiu Ju, Lu Da raped you, why didn't you die at that time - if you die, I will only have revenge against Lu Da, I will kill him a thousand times, ten thousand times, avenge you, and hate you. I'm going to burn a knife of paper at your grave, weep for you, sing for you—but now it's different.

Ma Lin felt that all he could do now was to take a break from Qiu Ju, and from now on he had nothing to do with Qiu Ju, and then kill Lu Da, didn't Lu Da want to send it to the door at noon on the twenty-third day of the lunar month? And then it's all over the place.

Marin thought so, and the door creaked, and the grass walked into the house, and one of his little faces was red from the cold.

The grass was no stranger to Marlin anymore, and he stared back at Marin with a pair of dark eyes. Childishly asked: Who are you, why haven't I seen you before?

Ma Lin subconsciously pulled out the gun on his waist, the black muzzle pointed at the fine grass, he gritted his teeth and said: Xiao Ye Seed, I will shoot you!

Qiu Ju screamed, and she threw the toothless comb in her hand to the ground, and she pounced, bent down and hugged the fine grass, looking at Marin with a pair of eyes in horror.

The fine grass struggled twice in Qiu Ju's arms, and said to Ma Lin unworldly: My mother said, I am not a wild seed.

Qiu Ju stood up, hugged the fine grass tightly, and said in a choked voice: Marin, you can do anything to me, don't hurt the child.

Xicao said in a loud voice: Mother is not afraid, afraid of what he will do.

Qiu Ju lowered her voice and said: What's the matter, he is also my flesh and blood, if there was no fine grass, I would have died thousands of times, and you Marin would not have seen me today.

Qiu Ju burst into tears after speaking.

Marin didn't know what to do for a while, he stood there in a daze, looking at the gun in his hand in a daze. Ma Lin thought: Qiu Ju, I'm going to divorce you, and if you leave, you'll be gone.
