Sun Laodao let people see his kung fu on this day, from worshipping the high hall to worshipping heaven and earth, he made a pair of dead people like living people, not only did not show a trace of fear, but on the contrary, people were greatly opened. After the three strings of artillery battles were fired, the newcomer entered the cave room again, and the Shui family compound was overflowing with joy.

12

As soon as the medicine was planted, the fifth paste master asked the Shui family compound to summon him, and the second master of the water went straight to the point and said: "Five paste, I'm not busy now, I invited the three immortals to see it yesterday, May 16 is a good day, you tell the way, just take someone on May 16." ”

"May 16?" Although he has been busy for more than half a year before and after running, he really heard that the date was set, and the five pasty masters still felt sudden.

"May 16th, I have settled down, the cook will arrive in two days, Xigou side, you just look at Zhang Luo, if you want to do it in a wide range, it will be done, the money will be taken from here, what is lacking, anyway, he is such a girl, and he can't marry shabby."

Wu Muye rushed to Xigou in a daze, and halfway through his words, he was so frightened that he couldn't continue. However, the way he came seemed to have an idea, and in turn comforted the five pastors: "If you are generous or not, what do people like us think?" Date, May 16 is May 16, the day that the second master picks, it must be a good day. When the time comes, I will cook a meal here, and the family will have a meal, if you don't dislike it, come too, and make a testimony for me, it's not that I came to be ruthless and carried the sedan chair hastily. ”

Speaking of this, a fog rose in the throat of the coming road, and a pair of eyes were blurred by tears.

Wu Muye didn't dare to stay longer, for fear that his heart would be upset by this family.

On a cloudy day in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, I came back from picking up grain and carrying a blanket to hit the bluestone ridge, because I was afraid of rain, I didn't dare to rest all the way, and when I entered the door, my clothes were soaked with sweat. On the way, I saw picking up grain, ran out of the cave, and asked while picking up the blanket: "Baby, what are you carrying?" ”

"Two liters of millet, and three liters of beans."

He came and asked, "The owner gave it?" ”

Shiliang shook his head: "Pharmacist Liu gave it." ”

"Where did he get this?"

"I don't know, maybe I asked the owner."

As he spoke, he entered the cave. The cave in May is still very cool, and it is a cloudy day, so I feel a cool and damp smell as soon as I enter. Shiliangba glanced at the grass on the kang, wanted to ask something, but didn't ask, lowered his head, and didn't make a sound. I know my son's mind when I come here, and I am sad about what is in front of him.

Shiliang stood silently for a while, and when he saw that his father didn't speak, he asked, "Brother?" ”

"Go down the slope to your second aunt's house."

I wanted to go to my second aunt's house to pick up grain, and let my father stop me: "You go, he has been sick again in the past two days, and I will let your second aunt watch it." ”

The grain cave snorted and sat down on the ground.

Why did this home become like this? A wave of sadness rose up, filling the cave and the heart of a fifteen-year-old boy.

Outsiders may not have imagined that the home of Lailu is actually not a home. More than 20 years ago, the road to Shahu Village on the edge of the desert followed the villagers to flee the famine, and when crossing the Gulang River, the mother died, and the road cried and went forward. It was really a *** that starved people to death, all the crops along the desert were sunburned, and there was no harvest in the area of Liangzhou City. As people walk on the road, they can see the green smoke in the ground. The bark of the trees was so hot that it caught fire. From Dasha Lake to Qingfeng Gorge, the road is almost stepping on the bones of a dead man.

The eldest son picked up sheep, and he picked them on the way to escape from the wilderness.

In the twenty-second year of the road, he didn't have a daughter-in-law, but he picked a baby from the arms of a woman of the same size as himself. When she came to pick up, the woman was dead, and the baby was so hungry that she had only one breath left. I thought that God let the baby meet him, maybe it was to give the baby a life, but after a few years of hard work, I found out that the baby was disabled, didn't speak, and couldn't hear people say, this didn't count, the worst thing is that the baby can't even eat, drink and Lazar.

There are many people in the world who are miserable, and there are few who are as bitter as the way they came.

The way to pick up food sighed for a while, stood up and said, "Baby, it's hard to be gut, your sister, she should be content." ”

Picking up food to wipe away tears, contentment is not content, it doesn't matter now, what I think about is that my sister is leaving, and he is a brother, at least I have to accompany her for a few days.

In the next few days, he would accompany his sister every day, he washed his face and combed his hair, and in the dead of night, he would hold his sister's hand. My sister's hands were shriveled and devoid of the lubrication of her daughter's house, and when she held the grain, she would shed tears, and the past would come flooding out in the night, drowning him and destroying him......

He sang over and over again in his heart the peach plums taught to him by the third master of the shepherd, and his heart was rotten.

is just the opposite of the bleak scene of the Lu family, just after the day was set, the Shui family compound immediately became lively.

The first to arrive was the eldest sister's family. When Da Mei and the man He Shuhuai led the two babies to jump off the carriage, Shui Yingying happened to be outside the door, her eyes looked at the drying field in the distance, today is the last batch of medicine, according to the adjutant Qiu Jiayuan, after drying these, he will leave the Shui family compound and send the medicine to Xi'an. Yingying felt that this man was lying to her father.

Seeing the eldest sister, Yingying withdrew her gaze, walked over with a smile, and hugged the ears of wheat. After not seeing her for many days, the ears of wheat jumped up again, and they were about to catch up with her. This girl is really more and more pleasing the longer she is, and the longer she is, the more handsome she is. Ying Ying bit the wheat ear on the face and kissed it hard. The little bean on the ground was unhappy, and pouted and shouted: "The little lady is biased, and the little lady holds the ear of wheat and doesn't hold the little bean." This sentence made everyone laugh.

After entering the house, after some greetings, Da Mei wanted to go to the kitchen to help Sister-in-law Wu cook, but the second master said that he didn't need to, and the kitchen had called two helpers. Da Mei is still not at ease, she is such a person, wherever she goes, it is like carrying the kitchen to somewhere. The second master didn't stop him, knowing that Da Mei was an idle person. Yingying had a fuss with the two children for a while, and took them to the South Courtyard to play. After the house calmed down, the second master asked his eldest son-in-law, Shuhuai: "Are the crops good this year?" ”

"Okay, okay, okay." Shuhuai is a person who is not good at words, especially in front of his father-in-law, Shui Erye, and his words are even more pitiful. After so many years, he still has one word for his old father-in-law, afraid. Second Master Shui knew that he was wrong, and when he spoke, he tried his best to make himself seem easy-going, but the more he wanted to be easy-going, the more easy-going he was, and instead made the atmosphere in the room stiff. Weng and his son-in-law pulled the crops for a while, but when they couldn't find anything, the second master asked again: "Your father, is he okay?" ”

"Okay, okay, okay." A layer of sweat had formed on the head of the locust. When he came, he repeatedly told Da Mei that he was going, but he asked me to squat alone with your father. Da Mei smiled and said, "What are you afraid of squatting alone, and he won't eat you?" "I didn't think about it, but the worries on the road turned real. The locust also wants to be natural in front of the old man, but he can't get up naturally.

was embarrassed, when he saw the fifth son walking in in a panic, and muttered something to the second master of the water. Second Master Shui was shocked: "Is there really such a thing?" ”

"Yes." The five sons replied heavily.

"Let's go, take me to see it."

The second master of Shui threw down his son-in-law and ran out of the courtyard with his five sons, and was just about to go out of the gate, but was blocked by two armed security guards. Passing over the heads of the two security guards and looking out, oh my god, there was a large row of people with guns standing on the grass beach.

The leader is a man with a black and thin appearance and a short body who shows a mouthful of yellow teeth, claiming to be the new deputy of the Hou Tuan of the Gulang County Security Corps, the second master of Shui doesn't know this surnamed Hou, but he didn't dare to slack off, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's the deputy of the Hou Tuan, look at my old eyes and dizzy, why can't you even recognize it?" The deputy of the Hou regiment glared at the second master evilly, and said, "Let your master come out, the deputy of the regiment has something to say." ”

The fifth son hurriedly learned the tone of the second master, and said to Deputy Hou Tuan: "This is my second master." ”

"Second master? How old is the second master? ”

Second Master Shui said with a smile on his face: "It's not big, it's not big, it's the second old, the people in the courtyard are so uplifting me, screaming, screaming." ”

"Huh?!" Deputy Hou Tuan glared at the second master again, and said: "The deputy of this regiment was ordered to arrest **, and someone saw it, ** went to your courtyard." ”

The second master buzzed in his head, and hurriedly said: "Master Bing, can you scare me, my Shui family has been around for generations, but there are no bandits, this radius of a hundred miles, who doesn't know who doesn't know?" You see, there is still a plaque on the door of my house, which is the county magistrate Kong Jiexi. ”

Deputy Hou Tuan said impatiently: "The deputy of the regiment who has no plaque doesn't care, the deputy of the regiment is specially arrested, brothers, search!" ”

As he spoke, he waved the handle of the gun in his hand and was about to take the lead in rushing in. Second Master Shui hurriedly stopped: "You can't enter, Master Bing, there are family dolls in the courtyard, as soon as you enter, the courtyard will be chaotic." ”

Deputy Hou Tuan was already impatient, and when he saw that Second Master Shui didn't know what to do, he dared to stop him, and he was about to beat him with the handle of the gun. At this moment, I heard a whip snapping on the grass beach, and it was impartially whipped on the hand of Deputy Hou Tuan, who said "Mom", threw away the gun, hugged his hand and howled.

The gun-wielding security guard snapped and looked at the whip thrower. The third daughter, Shui Yingying, had changed her horse costume at some point, and stood majestically behind the security guards.

"Where did a group of livestock come from, dare to spread wild on my family's grass beach!" Shui Yingying is sassy and heroic, and there is no fear in his eyes.

Hearing the sound, Da Mei and the man Shuhuai who ran out of the courtyard were holding a child alone, and they were trembling with fright when they saw this formation. Deputy Hou Tuan howled for a while, and when he saw that it was a little woman, he shouted angrily: "Take it for me!" ”

At the moment when the security guards rushed towards Shui Yingying, a voice sounded again on the grass beach: "Slow! ”

When Deputy Hou Tuan and the security guards rushed towards the grass beach, Adjutant Qiu Jiayuan was on the drying field. The medicine on the drying field had just been put away, and the setting sun smeared the drying field and the grass beach in the distance, and he was reluctant to miss this excellent scenery, so he stood on the drying field and didn't leave. At first, he thought that these opium ghosts were just passing by, so he didn't take it seriously, and when Shui Er Ye stopped in front of the door, he knew what these people who carried guns and didn't give the gun commander spirit were for. But he didn't rush over, first, he wanted to see Shui Erye's ability to deal with these people, and on the other hand, he believed that Shui Yingying would not not have a seizure. When Shui Yingying came out of the back wall with a horse whip, he smiled in his heart, laughing at her wit, and laughing at her for being too reckless. How can you whip these people away?

"Where did you come from?" Adjutant Qiu Jiayuan came straight to Deputy Hou Tuan and asked.

"Who are you?" Deputy Hou Tuan took a few steps back and asked in shock.

"Who am I?" Adjutant Qiu Jiayuan asked sharply, glaring angrily at Deputy Hou Tuan, who was a little embarrassed.

The fifth son suddenly had the courage to stand forward: "He is the adjutant of the army commander of Xi'an City." ”

Lu ...... Captain? Deputy Hou Tuan looked incredulous, but his confidence was obviously not as strong as just now.

"Catch the ** and catch the Shui family compound, how many guts do you have!" Qiu Jiayuan took a step forward, and his voice became more and more shocking.

"We followed him all the way and saw him...... It's coming this way. Deputy Hou Tuan argued with doubts.

"Ridiculous! In the middle of the day, ** will let you see? ”

Deputy Hou Tuan was about to argue, but Adjutant Qiu Jiayuan ordered in an irrefutable tone: "I am responsible for this, you can arrest it elsewhere." Deputy Hou Tuan was completely shocked by Qiu Jiayuan's momentum, this man in a military uniform and a box gun was indeed more majestic than the head of the security regiment in Gulang County. He looked Qiu Jiayuan up and down unwillingly for a while, and was thinking about how to deal with this man who claimed to be an adjutant, when he heard Qiu Jiayuan say angrily: "Don't leave yet?!" ”

At this time, Deputy Hou Tuan didn't dare to hesitate, and yelled at his security guards: "What are you doing in a daze, retreat!" ”

A false alarm subsided. When Deputy Hou Tuan turned around with the security guards and headed in the direction of the Sister River, Second Master Shui was still stunned in his heart, regretting that he shouldn't have let them go so fast, at least, he should have eaten a meal before leaving. After thinking about it, if these birds enter the courtyard, how much will be enough. If you don't leave and stay for three or five days, it will be a big trouble.

After the shadows of the deputy Hou Tuan and the security guards completely disappeared, Shui Erye put his eyes on Qiu Jiayuan's face. He didn't expect that the Qiu family would have such ability. It was the first time he discovered that the second son of the Pingyang Chuan Qiu family was actually not simple, and he used to regard him as too small and inconspicuous.

When Shui Er Ye stared at the enemy family and was stunned, Shui Yingying's gaze was also foggy. Qiu Jiayuan on this day gave Shui Yingying a new feeling, which crawled on Shui Yingying's heart like a wisteria for a long time later, scratching Shui Yingying both fresh and uncomfortable.

The dinner was stuffy and tasteless, and the people in the courtyard were in a state of panic, for fear that the security guards with guns would come back halfway.

This night, Deputy Hou Tuan and his security guards did not come back, but there were still people who should not have come to the Shui family compound.

When He Shuyang, the second eldest of the He family in Donggou, was brought into the house by the adjutant Qiu Jiayuan, his heart was tightly together. It's over, bumped into this guy's hands, and eighty percent of them are dead.

He Shuyang, the second eldest of the He family in Donggou, was targeted by the security team while on a mission. Two days ago, He Shuyang, who was studying at Liangzhou Normal School, suddenly received an order for him to rush to Gulang to stop a secret meeting that was about to be held there. The order was delivered by his superior, a middle-aged man named Northwest Eagle. Xiongying said that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were split again, a new round of massacres by the Kuomintang had begun, and several revolutionary comrades had disappeared in Liangzhou City, and the situation was quite grim. He Shuyang rushed to Gulang, and the second secret meeting of the underground party organization in Gulang County had been held. The focus of the meeting was to study and analyze the revolutionary situation in Gulang, to develop the backbone elements as soon as possible, to go deep into the homes of major merchants and wealthy people, and to call on and mobilize them to donate money and materials to the frontline soldiers, especially to take out the medicinal materials hidden at home and provide urgent support to the front. Since the organizers of the meeting had not been notified in advance by the Liangzhou side, all the members of the underground party group in Gulang County and the more than 10 backbone elements of the newly developed party came. Under the leadership of correspondent Lao Huang, He Shuyang rushed to the meeting place, and as soon as he turned the Gulang Bridge and was about to walk to the house of the meeting, he saw Feng Chuanwu, the captain of the Liangzhou City Military Police, with five or six minions, surrounding the family that was hiding in the bushes. Lao Huang saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly threw down the burden of the merchant on his shoulder, pulled He Shuyang and ran. When they ran across the Gulang Bridge and hid in the grass, they saw that all the security teams in Gulang County were dispatched. The black pressed a group of people with guns and tightly surrounded the small courtyard.

He Shuyang thought to himself, the underground organization of Gulang County was completely exposed, and he hoped that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, these comrades would be taken to Liangzhou, or they would be secretly executed in Gulang. He Shuyang's heart burned with grief and anger. This young student, who had only joined the underground party organization not long ago, was only full of fascination for the revolution, and he had no personal experience of the cruelty of reality and the twists and turns and difficulties of the road.

When the two of them walked out of the grove, Lao Huang proposed to go separately and ordered him to leave Gulang quickly, first to take refuge at home for a few days, and then to Liangzhou City. Who knew that He Shuyang was thinking of a classmate in his heart, it was this classmate who introduced him to join the underground party organization, he had to go to his house to see if he wanted to, if the classmate really suffered an accident, he had the obligation to temporarily support the family for the classmate. As a result, as soon as he arrived in the alley where his classmates lived, the newly appointed deputy of the security regiment found him.

Deputy Hou Tuan was originally not from the security team, he was the ticket keeper of the Liangzhou Normal Student Canteen. Two days ago, he was taken to Gulang County by his brother-in-law, and he had a face-to-face with the county magistrate Kong Jiexi. Of course, Deputy Hou Tuan knew He Shuyang, and he wrote down all the radical activities that He Shuyang engaged in in the normal school. At the same time that He Shuyang also recognized Deputy Hou Tuan, a rickshaw suddenly came over in the alleyway, and dragged He Shuyang into the car without saying anything. The car flew out of the alleyway and ran towards Zilan Mountain, and Deputy Hou Tuan shouted and chased after him with six or seven people. He Shuyang in the car didn't see who dragged him into the car, and was thrown into a carriage again. There was a half-cart of grass on the carriage, and the coachman threw a bamboo basket and ordered He Shuyang to get in. I don't know how long it took, the carriage stopped, and He Shuyang, who climbed out of the bamboo basket, saw that the sky had darkened, and the night unfolded like a layer of fog. He Shuyang couldn't tell where he was, and he didn't know who saved him. I heard the coachman say that when you go over the mountain in front of you, it is Qingfeng Gorge. With that, the coachman flicked his whip and shouted at the cattle to leave.

He Shuyang was fortunate to have escaped the catastrophe, and when he crossed the mountains by the hazy moonlight, a layer of fear surged in his heart. At the beginning, he was encouraged by his classmates to join this organization, but he never thought about being afraid. He had read a lot of progressive books and listened to some speeches by progressives, and he felt that the world they depicted was too beautiful and full of ideals. Although He Shuyang grew up in a wealthy and loving family, he still has his own views on the world. He longs for those poor people to get better as soon as possible, for those children who can't afford to go to school to enter the school like him, and of course, the greater desire in his heart is to fill the world with true love. This is his wish in Donggou, and he even persuaded his father not to ask for any debts from people like Lailu, so that they could not have a meal. It's a pity that his father didn't listen to him and scolded him. "Don't be in debt, don't want you to eat wolf dung—"

The night was cold, and the wind that poured into He Shuyang's heart was even colder. He never thought that it would be so difficult to realize the ideal in his heart, how long has it been since he joined the organization, what he has seen, what he has heard, and what he has met today, why is it so terrible! When I think of what happened during the day, I can't help but shiver. As the next day approached dawn, He Shuyang crossed the mountains, and in front of him was the vast Qingfeng Gorge, and the sister river roared and howled angrily, sending out a voice that bordered on dissatisfaction and pathos. As soon as he heard the sound of the river and saw the river valley, He Shuyang's heart immediately became energetic, and he felt that what he was afraid of just now was very ridiculous and funny, isn't it just to participate in an organization, what is there to be afraid of.

When He Shuyang's heart swelled up with fear for the second time, his footsteps had already reached the mouth of the West Ditch. Although there is only a small mountain range between the east ditch and the west ditch of Qingfeng Gorge, if you want to go out of the ditch, you must first go to the mouth of the west ditch. When He Shuyang stood under the bare old tree at the mouth of the West Ditch, his mood was still bright, similar to the color of the sun, no, similar to the earth reflected by the sun. He had a feeling of returning victorious, and a river of passion was stirring in his heart, and he even thought that he would have a good talk with his father when he went back this time, and simply told him about his participation in the revolutionary organization to win his support. As long as my father supports him, it will be much easier to raise money and medicine. But as soon as this idea came to him, before he could think about it for a while, he suddenly found that Xigoukou was not the same, and it was very different from when he left half a month ago. Why is it not like it, He Shuyang couldn't distinguish it for a while, but in the ditch, there was indeed an abnormal smell. Just when he was wondering, he suddenly saw the cave cutter in Xigou coming from the road with an iron shovel and running out under an earthen cliff at the mouth of the ditch. As soon as He Shuyang wanted to step forward and ask what was going on in this ditch, he saw the road pick up the shovel and wave at him. He Shuyang didn't understand for a while, thinking about what was the way to come, and when he was confused, he saw several black shadows suddenly appear on the side of Donggou, and at a glance, it was actually a security group!

When He Shuyang stretched his legs and ran towards the ditch, Deputy Hou Tuan's footsteps had already reached the Xigou Bridge. Standing on the Xigou Bridge, everything in the ditch will be in full view, this bridge is He Shuyang's father, He Da Yanhua 30 stone barley repair, high, magnificent, standing on the bridge where you want to look where you want. Unexpectedly, what Deputy Hou Tuan saw at a glance was He Shuyang, a ** element who had not been chased all night.

If it weren't for the familiar terrain, He Shuyang would not have been able to escape from the palm of Deputy Hou's hand, of course, it was also related to the fact that Deputy Hou Tuan had just become the deputy of the regiment. Afterwards, Jiang Heizi, the head of the Gulang County Security Corps, scolded: "Ge Laozi, he runs fast, and the gun in your hand is fast"? Deputy Hou Tuan just woke up from a big dream, oh my God, why don't you know how to use a gun, it's really stupider than a pig!

When Deputy Hou Tuan led people to play prestige at the gate of the Shui family compound, He Shuyang hid not far away. The back of the water family compound is against the bluestone ridge, behind the courtyard wall is a bluestone cliff that is split down, in order to prevent the rain from coming down from the mountain from washing away the courtyard wall, the second master of the water dug a trench more than two zhang deep behind the courtyard wall, and covered it with bluestone. He Shuyang was hiding in the ditch at that time, and he wanted to hide until dawn the next day, but he was so hungry that he couldn't hold on to it in the middle of the night, so he crawled out of his brain, looked at the dark night, and concluded that Qingshiling had entered a safe state, so he climbed the tree like a monkey and jumped to the top of the stable. didn't think about it, just after entering the hospital, before he could catch his breath, he let Qiu Jiayuan catch him.

"Say, I broke in in the middle of the night, what do you want to do!"

Adjutant Qiu Jiayuan stared at He Shuyang coldly.

He Shuyang shuddered, and he knew that since the He and Qiu families were close to the Qingshiling Shui family, the He and Qiu families also moved around like relatives. He Shuyang's father, He Dajuan, and Pingyang Chuan, Qiu Jiayuan's father, Qiu Dacheng, are especially angry, and under the first year of the year, the two of them have more opportunities to make noise than with the second master of Qingshi Lingshui. He Shuyang and Qiu Jiayuan also ran together on the big grass beach of the Qingshiling Shui family, and in order to please the third lady Shui Yingying, the two of them also secretly fought with each other. It's a pity that this is all in the past, since the Qiu family went to Xi'an, He Shuyang has not seen him again. Some of Qiu Jiayuan's things were heard from classmates or teachers. He Shuyang knew that Qiu Jiayuan was a genuine Kuomintang, a popular man next to the army commander of Xi'an City, this person had been active in Liangzhou for more than half a year, and his whereabouts were extremely mysterious, and if he fell into his hands, the consequences could be imagined!

"You're He Shuyang, right?" Seeing that He Shuyang didn't speak, Qiu Jiayuan asked again.

He Shuyang nodded passively, and in his heart, he urgently thought about how to deal with this mysterious enemy party element.

"Why did they arrest you?" Qiu Jiayuan sat on a chair, held a lighter in his hand, snapped it, shook it at He Shuyang's panicked face, and blew it out with a thud. He seemed to have forgotten the scene of chasing and fighting together on the grassy beach in the early years, and the voice was very unfamiliar, as if they had never known each other. He Shuyang hated him like this at first, and then thought about it, how could he talk to him about his old feelings now that he was a senior intelligence officer of the Kuomintang?

"I was heading home, and suddenly they chased after me." He Shuyang replied tentatively.

The Qiu family looked at He Shuyang condescendingly, and his eyes drew a few question marks on his face. For the relatives of the He family in Donggou, the Qiu family knew everything about it, but he was not in a hurry to expose him, a sneer snorted in his nostrils, and said, "You don't want to tell the truth yet, do you?" ”

"I'm telling the truth." This time, He Shuyang answered simply.

"Okay, wait until I call the second master, or simply call the third young lady Yingying, you tell them."

"No-" As soon as he heard this, He Shuyang became anxious, and used his body to block Qiu Jiayuan who was walking out. Qiu Jiayuan laughed secretly, he knew that He Shuyang was afraid of Shui Yingying, and he was even more afraid of Shui Erye.

"Then be obedient and tell me about the organization you belong to and what you have done."

Although Qiu Jiayuan said it very easily, He Shuyang listened to it, but he was completely depressed. He already knew that his participation in the organization, as well as the tasks he was ordered to perform, were already in the hands of Qiu Jiayuan. Since this is the case, I simply let it go. He Shuyang raised his neck and said very arrogantly: "Yes, I am the Communist Party, you dare to arrest me and send me to the security team?!" ”

Qiu Jiayuan's expression in the dark night seemed to move, but he didn't reveal it: "Okay, He Shuyang, you have the guts!" ”

Qiu Jiayuan didn't tie him up and hand him over to Second Master Shui as He Shuyang was afraid of. Before dawn, Qiu Jiayuan asked He Shuyang about his situation. After asking and reprimanding, he gave He Shuyang half a bun, He Shuyang was really hungry, and when he spoke, his eyes were always fixed on the bun. Adjutant Qiu Jiayuan looked at him from a distance, and sneered: "If it weren't for the fact that you haven't eaten a bite of grain for two days, I will hand you over to Deputy Hou Tuan!" After He Shuyang finished eating, he suddenly said: "I will let you go this time, but you have to do something for me, if this thing is messed up, I want your life!" ”

He Shuyang wanted to refuse at first, he was the backbone of the revolutionary organization in Liangzhou City, how could he be in the same league as the Kuomintang executioners? After Qiu Jiayuan finished saying what he wanted to say, his mind changed, and he nodded at Qiu Jiayuan very seriously: "Don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter well!" ”

The next morning, He Shuhuai, the eldest son-in-law of the Shui family, went to the upper room to greet his old father-in-law, and met the adjutant Qiu Jiayuan at the gate of the backyard. Qiu Jiayuan had just finished his morning exercise, wearing a snow-white shirt and a pair of straight trousers, looking very energetic and decent. In contrast, the eldest young master of the He family, who only knew how to keep his head down and grow crops all year round, looked embarrassed and shabby. Qiu Jiayuan called the panicked He Shuhuai: "Brother-in-law, please take a step to speak." ”

He Shuhuai looked at Qiu Jiayuan, and he didn't wonder in his heart. A month ago, the county magistrate Kong Jiexi took the Qiu family to Donggou, wanting to borrow the He family's yard to dry medicine, and asked the He family to give up 30 acres of hillside land to grow medicine. He Shuhuai was the first to object, a cropper, what kind of medicine to plant? Besides, if the land is given up, it is difficult to say whether it will be taken back at that time. He Shuhuai is afraid of dealing with these people in the government, and he is even more afraid of people like Qiu Jiayuan who carry guns and eat food. For a while, the county magistrate Kong Jiexi named him to be the security chief, saying that he was young and knew the rules, and it was convenient for him to do things up and down. Guess what he said, "Chief?" Instead of doing that job, why don't you pick up a few more soaks of dung, and the croppers don't take care of the crops, can they still be called a croppers? He Shuhuai was even more disdainful of Pingyang Chuan Ermei's little uncle, and he once said to Damei: "Wait, the Qiu family will let this two-pole goods lose sooner or later, but it's a pity that the Qiu family's silver is in vain for him to study." ”

In the end, the matter of planting medicine could not be opposed because of his efforts, but he didn't think about it, but the old father-in-law readily agreed. It doesn't matter if he agrees or not, that's his Shui family's business, and it has nothing to do with the He family. He Shuhuai's impression that his father-in-law has never done a serious thing in his life except for giving birth to three good daughters.

Although he was unhappy in his heart, he followed the enemy into the backyard.

"Big brother-in-law, I want to ask you to see something." As soon as he entered the door, Qiu Jiayuan said.

"What's that?"

"You look at the kang." Qiu Jiayuan said, took out a cigarette, lit it, but did not smoke, only held it in his hand, and played with his extremely valuable lighter with the other hand.

As soon as He Shuhuai looked at the past, he suddenly shouted: "Oh my God, what about others? Tell me, where did this thing come from! ”

Qiu Jiayuan lowered his face coldly: "Brother-in-law, don't call it first, it's not good for your family to call out for this matter." ”

He Shuhuai didn't take Qiu Jiayuan seriously, but he looked down on such a person who hung a gun and yelled all day long. Don't do the right thing, this is a sentence he gave to Qiu Jiayuan, including his younger brother He Shuyang, he often reprimands with such words. Unexpectedly, this morning, he suddenly changed his attitude towards Qiu Jiayuan.

"I said that the enemy relatives, this thing ......"

"It's better for you to call me an adjutant, in this courtyard, I don't have anything to do with anyone." Qiu Jiayuan was obviously making fun of He Shuhuai, He Shuhuai still cared about him, he had already been confused by the clothes on the kang, and looked at Qiu Jiayuan pitifully, begging him to tell the answer quickly. The Qiu family was far from in a hurry, the two eyebrows were cold, and his eyes were almost like hiding a knife, and he Shuhuai, who was old and serious in the He family, fought a few cold wars in a row.

What is placed on the kang is indeed the underwear of the second child He Shuyang, a sweatshirt decorated with a heart. If it is replaced by something else, He Shuhuai may be able to look away, but this sweatshirt, He Shuhuai is absolutely impossible to look away!

One thing popped into his mind.

More than a month ago, the second child who was studying in Liangzhou City came home and said to him mysteriously: "Brother, what do you guess I participated?" ”

"What did you participate in, you are a student baby, what can you participate in?" He Shuhuai didn't care at the time, he didn't look like his younger brother, his younger brother was a person who had drunk ink, and he spoke and did things like a scholar. He is an authentic farmer, except for the twenty-four solar terms a year, he doesn't worry about anything else, and he doesn't bother to worry about it.

"Guess what, you should know about it."

"I'm guessing what, if you have the time to guess, it's better to give the ridge of the water field in Dongwa." As he spoke, he really took the shovel and went to the ridge. His younger brother He Shuyang grabbed him, looked around at no one, and said excitedly: "Brother, I have participated in the organization." ”

"Organization?" He Shuhuai looked puzzled, and didn't understand what the word organization meant.

"Ahem, I said you are backward in your thinking." He Shuyang's enthusiasm dissipated half, but then became excited: "Brother, if I say it, it won't frighten you?" ”

It's okay not to say this, as soon as he said it, He Shuhuai shook the shovel and glared at his younger brother who was many years younger than him: "Shuyang, you won't join the Qinghong Gang, right?" ”

The Qinghong Gang is a gang that has only recently emerged in Liangzhou City, and it has been heard that burning, killing, and looting are all evil.

"Brother!" He Shuhuai sighed angrily, and when he heard that his brother had pulled him with the lower three rotten gangs, he suddenly felt that his heart was dark. If his own brother is still conscious, how can he expect others to support him and support this organization?

When He Shuyang told his brother about joining the Communist Party in excitement and hesitation, his brother Shuhuai's face stiffened for a while, and soon, he jumped up and clenched his fists: "I'll beat you to death, you can't do anything to worry about, it's not enough to cause trouble——"

After a chaotic punch, He Shuhuai collapsed on the ground, and no matter how his younger brother Shuyang explained, he just couldn't get up. This is a bigger thing than the sky, although He Shuhuai nests in the ravine all the year round, but this does not mean that he is completely thrown off by the world, many new things in and out of the ditch still fly into his ears through various channels, especially the word "Communist Party", which makes him ......

No, I can't lie like this, if this thing reaches my father's ears, won't it scare him to death? He Shuhuai hit the ground and turned up, and rushed home in a panic. When I entered the courtyard, I saw Da Mei carrying a dustpan of broken grain, going to feed the chickens, Teng Teng over, dragged Da Mei, and walked to his own house. Da Mei shouted in surprise: "You don't want to do it, what are you doing to drag me?" ”

"You're big, you're big. The sky is falling, and it's still a day?! As he spoke, he dragged Da Mei into the house, closed the door with a huff, and said with a red face: "It's terrible, Da Mei, it's collapsed, it's really collapsed, hurry, hurry up and think of a way for me." ”

"What are you talking about without a head or a brain, and you are determined to scare people to death!" Da Mei pulled the man past and wanted to go out. Shu Huai grabbed her hard: "Da Mei, Shu Yang, Shu Yang, he joined that party!" ”

"What?!"

That day and night, the two of them didn't get through easily, they discussed and discussed, they couldn't tell their father about it, and they didn't listen to the second and second children, and scolded them for being stubborn, ignorant, and backward. So angry that the tree locust wanted to take a poplar. In the end, it was Da Mei who came up with an idea, and Da Mei said that Shu Yang must have let the evil thing possess her, so she hurried to find Sun Er's family and give Shu Yang an eye.

After the new undershirt is done, it was hung on the old tree in the ditch overnight, stained with the aura of heaven and earth, and the essence of the tree, which will allow the lost person to find the direction at all times. Again, put a red heart under the armpit, and tie his heart to the old tree, so that the lost person will not go far. This method has been tried by many people, Ling. Sun Er's family has settled down repeatedly, and the undershirt must be worn close to the body, and it must be worn for 7749 days before it can be taken off.

This time, the sweatshirt was in front of him, and the tree locust suddenly thought, is the second child -

Adjutant Qiu Jiayuan had seen enough of He Shuhuai's scenery, so he said slowly: "Originally, I didn't want to tell you about this, but why are you also the aunt of the Shui family." If you don't say it, it seems that I'm not interesting enough. Don't make any publicity about this, your second child is not in any danger at the moment, but in the future, it is difficult to say. In this way, you take my letter, go to Gulang County quickly, and hand it over to County Magistrate Kong. ”

"County Magistrate Kong?"

"You just ask more, if you want to save your second child, just do what I say."

He Shuhuai was puzzled for a moment, didn't dare to hesitate any longer, took the letter and walked out. When he went out, he heard Damei's voice ringing in the courtyard, and Damei called him to go to the stable to have a look, saying that Yingying's jujube red horse didn't eat grass anymore. He Shuhuai still has this thought, and said angrily in his heart, if you die, it doesn't matter what my is, the horse is important or my second child is important!

14

He Shuhuai rushed to Gulang County, but the county magistrate Kong Jiexi was not there, saying that he had gone to the provincial capital. Governor Zhao of the provincial capital urgently consulted with the county magistrates of several counties. He Shuhuai lived in a small carriage and horse shop, and he had to wait for the county magistrate Kong, which Qiu Jiayuan had repeatedly explained. In the middle of this, He Shuhuai heard about the arrest of the Communist Party in the county, yo hehe, the wind spread so tightly, it scared people to death. I heard from the people who lived with me that the county town had already opened a killing ring, and the upper authorities had spoken, and there was no need to ask for instructions on suspicious elements, and they would correct the law on the spot. In the past two days in the county, someone has been dropped by that every day! He Shuhuai was frightened, so he hurriedly bought incense on the street, burned incense and kowtowed in the small shop, praying in his heart that he would not kill his poplars.

I met the county magistrate Kong on the third day, and the place of meeting was under the shade of a tree at the head of the Gulang Bridge. After reading the letter from the adjutant Qiu Jiayuan, the county magistrate Kong Jiexi's face instantly darkened, and after a long time, he said: "I didn't expect that the second child of your family was also involved. ”

He Shuhuai was so anxious that he wanted to cry, although the county magistrate Kong was an acquaintance, but the last time the county levied grain, he refused him for his father, and he also had problems with the matter of planting medicine. Now that the second prisoner is in the hands of others, he can't help but be in a hurry. "County Magistrate Kong, you have to think of a way to save my family's tree poplar, he is young and ignorant, he must have fallen for someone else."

When Kong Jiexi heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, but he couldn't express it, so he just said: "You don't have to be in a hurry, there is always room for negotiation, but it's ......."

"But what?"

The county magistrate Kong Jiexi blinked his eyes mysteriously and said, "That's it, you stay for another day, wait for me to inquire carefully, and give you a letter early tomorrow morning." ”

That night, He Shuhuai lived in the carriage shop, stayed awake all night, and his mind was always in his mind with the footage of the security team shooting people. At the same time, he also regretted that he didn't put the matter of the second tree poplar at ease. Shuyang went to study in Liangzhou City, there were some changes, this change, he should be able to notice, but unfortunately he let a ditch of crops stumble, and did not pull Shuyang back on the road of fighting evil in time. He Shuhuai repented——

On the second day, early in the morning, the messenger of the county magistrate Kong Jiexi knocked on the door, and He Shuhuai asked in surprise: "Why didn't the county magistrate Kong come?" The messenger gave him an angry look and said, "Can the county magistrate come to such a place?" As he spoke, he handed him a letter and asked him to leave Gulang County as soon as possible and do as he was told in the letter.

He Shuhuai didn't dare to stay on the road, ran all the way home, only to open the letter, his eyes were straight, at the moment, angry, jumped up: "Mom, I still treat him as a person, I didn't want to ......" scolded halfway, suddenly silenced, and then carefully looked down at the letter, looked at it, he was dumb.

The letter was written directly to his father, He Dajuan, and Kong Jiexi, in the name of the Gulang county magistrate, asked He Dajuan to urgently raise 20 stone of grain, 5 cattle, and 20 sheep, saying that only in this way can he keep Shuyang safe and sound. Otherwise, he has no choice.

After reading the letter, his father, He Dayun, shouted loudly: "The surname is Kong, you are too greedy!" After screaming, he grabbed the eldest son, the locust: "Say, what did the wolf do?!" ”

He Shuhuai no longer dared to hide it, and truthfully told his father about his younger brother's participation in the Communist Party. After He Dajun heard this, he was stunned, sighed heavily, and fell on the kang.

What he feared most happened anyway.

In fact, what the second child He Shuyang did not hide from his father. He Da Yan saw the clues from the second tree Yang's recent strength, but he didn't ask in detail, he believed that his son was not so confused that he didn't think about it......

He Dajun was unusual, and immediately asked the boss He Shuhuai to do it according to Kong Jiexi's request, and said: "You can prepare some extra oceans for me, five catties of tobacco and soil, I will be useful." He Shuhuai was quite surprised, his father has always been a person who ignores the government, which is the opposite of his father-in-law, how can it be? Seeing that he hesitated, He Dajun said solemnly: "Baby, this time it's not as usual, I'm afraid that after spending these silver taels, I may not be able to save your brother back." He Shuhuai saw that his father was worried, so he believed that the matter was far from being as simple as he thought, so he kept his voice shut and went to handle it without saying a word.

When He Daju rushed to Gulang County with Yinliang and Dayan, he was just in time to shoot the rebel party outside the city. It is said that the rebels were captured by the security regiment and the gendarmerie of the county town, and because the situation was tight, there was no time to try them, so they were shot on the spot. Ma Jiayan was surrounded by people who came to see the excitement, He Da Yan rode on the horse, glanced at Riba and his heart jumped out. "Let's go, hurry up and find President Bai!" He said to Zhong Tian, the housekeeper who led the horse. When Zhong Tian saw this formation, he was so frightened that his face was bloodless, and when he led the horse to a place where there were fewer people, his two thin legs hit the soft.

President Bai met the rich man He Dajun at his home, and the two were familiar with each other, and they had dealt with each other over the years. President Bai said quickly: "He Dongjia, you came just in time, I was looking for you." ”

"Oh, grown, help me, I'm dying." He Dajuan's voice seemed to be crying.

"He Dongjia, I also just heard that Ling Gongzi's participation in the chaotic party is really a crime that cannot be forgiven, but ......"

"My president, you scared me, I brought the silver and food, please quickly think of a way to rescue the dog." As he spoke, He Dajun quickly put the smoke on the piano table. President Bai glanced at the smoke and soil, knowing that He Dayu was sincerely begging him this time, he thought about it for a moment in his heart, and said: "He Dongjia, it is said that I am obligated to do this, but at the moment, the wind is tight, and what Ling Gongzi committed is a matter of losing his head, and I can't do anything for a while." In this way, you first hand over the grain and silver to the Chamber of Commerce, and let me think of a way to see how I can rescue Ling Gongzi. ”

"This ......"

He Dajuan's face showed difficulty, followed by a layer of dissatisfaction. On the way, he thought that if he didn't see a rabbit, he wouldn't scatter an eagle. But......

"What, you can't believe my surname Bai?"

"How dare you, how dare you, President Bai, my brother is begging you sincerely."

"He Dongjia, don't talk about gossip, you know better than me how urgent things are. I have just received news that the gendarmerie of Liangzhou City is about to come to Gulang to arrest people, saying that the important elements of the rebellious party have escaped. At this point, Chairman Bai deliberately stopped talking. Looking at He Dajuan's face again, he was not just frightened.

Although President Bai did not guarantee He Dajun anything in the end, He Dajun still handed over the silver taels and grain proposed by the county magistrate Kong Jiexi to the Chamber of Commerce. Next, He Daju waited at the Liujia Inn in Gulang, waiting for the news from the county magistrate Kong Jiexi.

Almost at the same time, the county magistrate Kong Jiexi and the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Bai were secretly planning something. Since the adjutant Qiu Jiayuan came to Gulang, the purchase of Chinese medicinal materials has become the central work of the Chamber of Commerce. Fortunately, President Bai is a good person, and his words among Gulang businessmen still carry a lot of weight, and the acquisition of Chinese medicinal materials did not take much effort. But a few days ago, the county magistrate, Kong Jiexi, suddenly received a secret order, asking him to urgently raise a sum of money before the end of the month and hand it over to a merchant named Camel in Liangzhou City. As for what to do with the money, the other party didn't say it, and the county magistrate Kong Jiexi didn't want to ask more, so he could only do what the other party said. But how can it be so easy to raise funds at the moment, Gulang is already a small county town, there are few merchants, and the purchase of medicine for the adjutant Qiu Jiayuan has made the merchants pay a lot of pockets, and the rich people in various townships and ditches regard money as their lives, and few people take the initiative to take out the money. was anxious, and suddenly received a letter from the adjutant Qiu Jiayuan to He Shuhuai, so that the He family took out a large sum of silver taels to buy medicine for the national army. The county magistrate Kong Jiexi immediately made up his mind, first moved the money over, responded to the urgency over there, and then found a way to make up for the He family in Donggou. As soon as the two of them are combined, President Bai also means this. Right now, I'm taking medicine everywhere, and the little Gu Lang is too late to grow silver every day-President Bai is also full of emotion.

Therefore, as soon as He Daju came to the door, Chairman Bai immediately notified his subordinates and secretly contacted the camels in Liangzhou City. On the county magistrate Kong Jiexi's side, he was busy sending people to inquire about the whereabouts of the second son of the He family, and after taking other people's money, he had to tell the truth to others. But until now, he still doesn't know if the second son of the He family really had an accident, and where is the person who didn't have an accident?

Adjutant Qiu Jiayuan blocked the news firmly, even he and Chairman Bai refused to reveal more than half a word.

"Brother Bai, what kind of medicine is Adjutant Qiu selling here?" The two of them went their separate ways, and returned to a secret place in the Chamber of Commerce, and the county magistrate Kong Jiexi asked worriedly.

Chairman Bai sighed lightly: "Brother Kong, the current truth is true or false, so that you and I can't figure out the direction, it seems that the situation is really not optimistic." ”

"You say, the Kuomintang really wants to tear its face?" After being silent for a long time, President Bai asked again.

The county magistrate Kong Jiexi shook his head, he came back from the provincial capital a few days ago, and with a stomach full of wonder, he told the provincial governor Zhao about the emergency meeting. After hearing this, Chairman Bai was silent for a long time, and it could be seen that his doubts were heavier than those of the county magistrate Kong Jiexi. These two people, originally didn't pretend to be any party in their hearts, although they are both national ** people at the moment, but both of them recognize the same way, no matter the surname is the same country, as long as they fight the Japanese, they are a family. It seems that the situation is forcing them to change their views and even make a certain choice.

"Brother Bai, suppose one day you and I have to make a choice, you say, who should we listen to?" The county magistrate Kong Jiexi thought about it for a long time, but still threw the words to President Bai. President Bai took a sip of tea: "Brother Kong, you are the county magistrate, of course you have no choice, but now, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that I will ......"

"Afraid of what?"

"They are so careless of human life, I'm afraid that heaven will not tolerate it-"

Chairman Bai said and described the scene of Ma Jiayan shooting and killing the party during the day, and the scene was really cruel and terrifying. Of course, the county magistrate Kong Jiexi knew about the shooting of the rebels, and he tried his best to stop it, but now he, the county magistrate, is not so easy to speak, and the gendarmerie and the security corps nominally want to listen to him, but they never greet him when they do things, and they each have their own masters. As the head of a county, he can't prevent this kind of inhumane thing from happening in his own county, Kong Jiexi really feels ashamed of the word "county magistrate".

The two talked about the noise for a long time, but they didn't talk about the reason for the noise, especially on the issue of where to go, and the two couldn't make up their minds for a while. However, this conversation made their hearts heavier and more uneasy about the current situation. Especially the county magistrate Kong Jiexi, if the above really wants to do what Governor Zhao said, can he, the county magistrate, still be able to do it?

Three days later, He Dajuan, the rich man of Donggou, took a letter from the county magistrate Kong Jiexi and returned to his compound with a real heart. The letter said that the second son, He Shuyang, is currently fine and does not need to worry too much, but in view of the current situation, it is inconvenient to release it. If He Dajuan wants to go home with peace of mind, when the time is ripe, someone will naturally bring the second son to Donggou.

"I say, don't they just want to take the money from me, give it to him!" After saying this, He Dajun suddenly saw a piece of clothing in the courtyard, which was the undershirt decorated with red hearts! At that moment, there was a vicious wave in my heart. You are restless, dare to participate in the chaotic party, come back this time, see that I don't break your tendons!

15

Second Master Shui is really excited to death!

For Second Master Shui, there is nothing that excites him more than hearing about the accident of the He family in Donggou. He and Donggou He Daju were originally rivals, and the two of them had fought for a lifetime, and now they couldn't tell the difference, which made Shui Erye very annoyed. Some time ago, he was going to marry Bao'er, and after the post was sent, he was torn up in front of Donggou He Dajuan, and scolded him for eating people and not doing personnel, for the sake of his own son, he could come up with such a damaging idea. When the second master heard this, he almost blew up his lungs, if it wasn't for Da Mei's words, let him not take it seriously, his father-in-law would have a dead temper, I'm afraid, he would go to Donggou and reason with He Daju face to face.

Now when he heard that there was such a big thing in the He family, He Dajun let people take away so much silver at one time, he couldn't close his mouth with laughter.

"Good, that's great! I call you arrogant, and make you look down on my surname Shui! Now, your old dog is crying! ”

Before the second master of the water was happy, an unpleasant thing happened. The Qiu family in Pingyangchuan suddenly asked someone to bring a letter, saying that business has not been good recently, Qiu Dacheng has suffered from low back pain again, and it is inconvenient to travel.

The second master of Shui learned from Donggou He Dajuan, tore up the letter angrily, and scolded in his heart: "It's better to die of pain, you are a profiteer!" After scolding, I felt that it was not like that, and after thinking about it carefully, I understood, the enemy family was in the way of his son, and he was embarrassed to come. Shui Erye smiled in his heart, thinking that since the Qiu family wore the skin of the Kuomintang, he came to Qingshiling and Pingyang River, and his footsteps were immediately broken, including Ermei's two sons, and they did not go to his door, which proves that the Qiu family is also taboo against this second child.

It's good to be taboo, that's what I'm looking forward to! The second master of the water cursed in his heart, but he said hypocritically: "You have a letter with your in-laws, the second son is very good in my family, he is now a celebrity, and my second son is relying on him to make a small fortune, I can't wait to offer him to the table and burn incense every day." The people who came didn't understand the little belly chicken intestines between their in-laws, and thought that what Shui Er Ye said was true, so they went with gratitude. Second Master Shui came to the South Courtyard just now, and he wanted to have a good talk with Yingying.

Second Master Shui recently discovered that the girl Yingying had distanced herself from Qiu Jiayuan, and she was not as shameless as she used to be in Qiu Jiayuan. This is a good thing, no matter what Ying Ying thinks in her heart, as long as she can keep a distance, Second Master Shui thinks it is a good thing.

Young-young doing needlework in the house. Yingying rarely does needlework, and when Sister-in-law Wu first came to the hospital, Shui Erye repeatedly told her to spare some time and teach Yingying more. "What does a girl look like if she can't do needlework?" Sister-in-law Wu is also dutiful, and she has been teaching patiently for a long time, but unfortunately, Shui Yingying is not born to do needlework, and when the needle and thread brain reaches her hand, it is like a thorn, which makes it more difficult to call than a horse whip. Later, Second Master Shui was no longer reluctant, anyway, Yingying would have to recruit a son-in-law sooner or later, and it was a big deal to hire someone to serve her in the future. Unexpectedly, today, Yingying actually embroidered the insoles with stitches and threads.

Second Master Shui stood at the door and looked at his daughter quietly for a while, a rare smile overflowing from the corners of his eyes. Young-young heard the movement, raised her head, and saw that it was her father, so she hurriedly hid the insoles behind her.

"I said that there is no sound in the courtyard, it turns out that my baby bump is doing this."

"Daddy—" Ying Yingjiao snorted.

The second master of the water smiled, entered the house, and stepped half of his ass on the edge of the kang.

"Take it to my dad and see, my baby daughter's embroidery must be better than others."

"Daddy!" Shui Yingying snorted again, and her face was half red. She is also bored and panicked, busy in and out of the courtyard, she is an idler, she can't intervene everywhere, and she is too lazy to intervene, plus she has been awkward with Qiu Jiayuan recently, and she can no longer find the intimacy she used to have. Two days ago, she accidentally heard from the mouth of her subordinate that Qiu Jiayuan always went to meet the female student in Xi'an City when she was out on errands. The fifth son also said that Qiu Jiayuan's ability to become an adjutant was related to the female student, her uncle was a character, as early as three years ago, they secretly made a marriage, and it was the female student's uncle who single-handedly matched.

These words knocked over the five-flavor bottle in Yingying's heart, and in the past two days, she didn't eat well, slept unsteadily, and was too lazy to ride a horse. The phrase ringed in his head repeatedly: "Liar, he's a liar!" ”

Locked herself in the South Courtyard, Yingying thought about the things before and after a few times. The more I thought about it, the more I felt stupid, what I was, a sparrow in a ravine. What people are thinking about is the female student in Xi'an City, and her uncle is still a big official. No wonder he is not salty or indifferent to himself, he wants to take care of it once, he doesn't want to pay attention to it, and he doesn't bother to raise his eyelids once. Although Yingying was unconvinced, she was helpless, who made her just the girl of the rancher of Qingshiling? Although Yingying is arrogant, she is also a person who understands current affairs, and she is afraid that she is following her father Shui Erye. Moreover, the second sister repeatedly reminded her that her brother-in-law Qiu Jiayuan is an unreliable man, marrying a man and marrying a man, dressing and eating. "His heart is in the sky, this man, he looks good, he really wants to live with him, and he can't be steady for a day." These are the original words of the second sister. Yingying felt that the second sister was deliberately belittling Qiu Jiayuan at the time, but now that she thinks about it, she feels that this is reasonable. That's it, Yingying doesn't have to marry herself, if she really wants to marry, she has to weigh it. She just couldn't swallow this breath, why could she lose to the female students in Xi'an City?

After thinking about it, Yingying felt that her temperament had hurt her. She remembered in a trance that Qiu Jiayuan once said such a sentence: "How can there be a woman like you in the world, go to heaven and earth, make fists and dance sticks, and when a man sees you, he can't hide, and he dares to marry you?" Similar words, He Shuyang, the second son of the He family, also said that he said it after being whipped by her. It seems that these men who have read books and filled ink can't tolerate a woman like her in their hearts.

Yingying secretly vowed to change her temper.

"I don't believe it, I can't please men!" Yingying is angry with herself, not for anyone, but for herself.

Doing needlework was her first step. didn't think about it, things just started, and my father bumped into it.

Second Master Shui seemed to guess something from his daughter's eyes, but he was far from Yingying as far as Yingying thought, and he came to Yingying specifically to say bad things about the enemy. Seeing that he nodded to Qiu Jiayuan all day long, he was more humble than seeing the county magistrate Kong Jiexi, that was another matter, in his heart, he couldn't wait for Qiu Jiayuan to be like the second son of the He family, causing a lot of trouble, in that way, there would be a good scene to see.

Shui Erye beat around the bush and told the Kuomintang about the killing of the party in Gulang County, and he also played up a lot in some places in the middle. In the end, he sighed: "Baby, the world has become like this, it is all caused by these people with guns, and sooner or later, one day, there will be retribution." ”

He only said that he had a gun, and he didn't say that Qiu Jiayuan was far away, but he believed that his daughter would definitely understand his voice.

Sure enough, he left the South Courtyard for a long time, and Shui Yingying was still holding the insoles in a daze, in a daze.

Boa's marriage was once again on the table.

Because of He Shuyang's matter, Da Mei and his family had to leave the Shui family, and as soon as they left, the liveliness of the Shui family's compound was a little less. This incident made Shui Erye's heart unhappy, and on this day, he went through the relatives outside the ditch one by one, and re-filled the posts, including his brother Boss Shui, who had not been in contact for many years, and this time he was also in the list of distinguished guests. Second Master Shui thinks so, although I am doing a dead marriage, I can't lose the face of my Shui family, besides, the He Qiu family is now messed up by two unsuccessful sons, I want to do it for them.

"Pass my words down, hold a three-day flowing water banquet, east ditch and west ditch, but anyone who is willing to give me the second master of water to support the scene, come to eat!"

When the news came out, someone was immediately ready to move, counting the days with their fingers, and waiting for the Shui family to open a banquet.

When I got up early that day, Shui Erye was just about to leave the hospital, and I heard someone singing outside the door: "I don't want your rice, I don't want your noodles, just wait for you to open the flowing water mat." As soon as he heard that it was a barbarian woman's eye official, Shui Erye was overjoyed, and opened the door and said, "Nobleman, you are here......"

Before the word "has" landed, Shui Erye's eyes were stupid. It turned out that the person standing outside the door was not only the eye official, but in front of the second master Shui, there were eight barbarian women standing in the black press.

When the barbarian woman who called the eye official saw the second master of Shui, she sang with a smile: "The sun rises in the east and the east is red, the sun is at the top of the joyful door, the sunset in the west is full of blessings, and the ditch is full of silver to gather in." Before her words fell, the other "Yang Pan" (the name of the barbarian woman for the same kind) also sounded the Sancai board together, and they listened to the singing outside the courtyard gate, pouring auspiciousness and wishes into the ancient brain.

"The sand date flowers are old and red, and the older you get, the thicker you become. The idea is to move forward, and I am afraid that Dongwu will raise 10,000 soldiers. ”

"Good things come without help, just like birds returning to the mountains and forests, golden boys and girls get married, and they will be able to hold their children and grandchildren in the coming year."

Listening to the second master of Shui, the joy in his heart overflowed, this early in the morning, it must be a good thing to meet so many nobles. Now, just throw your hand in. The barbarian women are not polite, and they squeeze in a swarm.

At this moment, a sudden sound sounded in the courtyard: "Get out, get out of here, it's early in the morning, where did these mourning stars come from!" ”

The second master of Shui was just about to stop it, but the third daughter, Shui Yingying, had already thrown off the horsewhip in her hand, and hit the barbarian woman who called the eye official in the face. The barbarian woman who called the eye officer was whipped in the face, and she immediately cried out in pain.

"Yingying!" Second Master Shui snorted, pounced over and snatched the whip: "It's against you, you dare to fight the nobleman!" ”

Shui Yingying pouted: "Nobleman, I think she is a hairy ghost and god!" ”

"You!" Second Master Shui was so angry that he wanted to slap her in the mouth, but how could he do it early in the morning. Shui Yingying scolded a few words, snatched the horsewhip, and went to the stable to lead her to the mountain wind.

The barbarian woman who called the eye officer covered her face, and a stream of blood oozed out from between her fingers, Yingying's whip was thrown too hard, and the barbarian woman who called the eye official had a few rotten cuts on her face. The second master of Shui was just about to make amends, and the barbarian woman who called the eye official suddenly opened her mouth:

"Look at your horsewhip thrown fiercely, look at you walking with a gust of wind, the lonely soul has already possessed you, you are a bitter star in this life."

"What?" Second Master Shui was shocked, and he was about to rush over to cover his eyes. The barbarian woman who called the eye official stared at Shui Yingying with a pair of divine eyes, and in the twisting of her ass, she drew a big question mark for Shui Yingying's life in her heart. When Second Master Shui tried to reprimand her with words, she said calmly: "Second Master, it depends on your wealth, but your courtyard, with seven souls and eight ghosts, can't get rid of it." Second master, in the future, I will have your good life. ”

After speaking, in the huge confusion of the second master of Shui, the barbarian woman who called the eye official snapped the Sancai board, turned around, puffed out, and left the Shui family compound very seriously.

As soon as the "Yang Pan" saw that the official was gone, they all took away the Sancai board, puffed out their mouths, and left the Shui family compound with hatred. If Second Master Shui wants to keep it, it will be too late.

Later, Second Master Shui learned that Yingying lost her temper that morning because of Qiu Jiayuan. The fifth-handed, broken-mouthed, saw the opportunity and told Shui Yingying that Qiu Jiayuan had used the second child of the He family to blackmail Donggou Damei's family. As soon as Shui Yingying heard it, he exploded, that was the harvest of Damei's family in the past three years, and he was too ruthless to let Qiu Jiayuan knock it away in vain! Yingying ran to reason with Qiu Jiayuan, but not only did she not hear a good word, but also made Qiu Jiayuan laugh fiercely.

Qiu Jiayuan sarcastically mocked her, this matter is related to the great cause of the nation, she is a country woman, where do you understand!

The second master comforted his daughter on his lips, but in his heart, he made a note for Qiu Jiayuan.

Dare to humiliate my second daughter, you are too ignorant!

On this day, two things happened in a row, and the festive atmosphere of the Shui family compound was washed away at once.

Shui Yingying let the mountain wind fall!

I fell so badly that I almost lost my life!

When Shui Yingying rode up the mountain wind to the big grass beach, the sun had already risen from the top of the bluestone ridge, and sure enough, as the eye officer said, the sun rose in the east and the east was red. The moment the sun erupted, the entire bluestone ridge seemed to be lit by divine light, and the bluestone ridge, which had been sleeping all night, woke up suddenly, with a full of crystal and brilliance, and instantly shocked people's eyes. The dew drops that had been sleeping soundly all night on the tip of the grass blinked their sparkling eyes like elves, and all at once, as if a mountain of elves were smiling at people. In May, the flowers that bloomed all turned up, as if the bride who had taken off her red jacket released the freshness and delicacy, and the green grass worked hard to embrace the tender bride into her arms. At this time, the mountain is not a mountain, and the ridge is not a ridge, but like a huge cave house, the story of red mountains and green water is interpreted everywhere. Lingding people are the happiest at this time, their eyes are full of the beauty of dust and dew, and their hearts are washed and cleaned by the luster of the sun.

However, Shui Yingying, the third lady of the Shui family, turned a blind eye to this, her heart had been completely angered by Qiu Jiayuan's deceptive words, her eyes were blazing with the fire after suffering great humiliation, her legs were between her horses, she flicked her whip, and rushed towards the grass beach like an arrow. In the sound of horses' hooves, the scattered crystals were trampled and disturbed, and the crystals drew waves of arcs, fell to the ground, and shattered.

Countless ** accompanied by the horse's hooves, making strange complaints, on the grass beach, another voice secretly surged.

Shui Yingying didn't feel it at all, the whip in her hand was louder and louder every time, no matter how fast the mountain wind ran, she was still too slow, and she stepped on the feet of the pedal, and secretly made a lot of effort. The mountain wind was like a wild horse under her angry shout, running madly towards the sister river.

When the accident was about to reach the sister river, the waves of a river could be seen, and the mountain wind suddenly raised its hooves, followed by a whistle, and that whistle was really incredible, and the water family compound could hear it. Think of it, a few miles away, what a shocking sound! Howling up and down, the always obedient mountain wind suddenly became angry, turned around twice in place, and then rose with four hooves and rushed down the cliff.

When the whistle sounded in the courtyard, Shui Erye was stunned in the stable. The day was very strange, and as soon as he picked up the grain and left, the horses in the stable immediately lost their spirits. The housekeeper told him a few times, the second master of the water just didn't believe it, today, he wanted to see with his own eyes, he didn't pick up grain before, this horse is not good, it should eat, it should sleep, I have never seen people angry, how can I play tricks with people because of a long-term worker who feeds horses? When he walked into the stables and looked carefully for a long time, he found that the butler had not said anything excessive. This horse is really competing with the Shui family compound. A trough of forage is so good, the horses don't seem to be bothering to smell it, it's all fresh material made of fine grass and watercress, and these animals don't even eat it! Looking at the horse again, it turned out that the fat body was round and shiny, and it had only been a few days, and it was ......

Alas, the well-informed Second Master Shui sighed, and he didn't understand what he had done to collect grain, and he had fooled his Shui family's horse to this point. Thinking about it again, I feel that there is really no one in this courtyard who can be as attentive to the horse as picking up grain, following the pharmacist Liu Xicai to grow medicine during the day, and waiting for these treasures like ancestors in the night. Occasionally, when a horse's hair is not smooth, you look at the care he does, washing and combing, which is more thoughtful than waiting for his father to come. Thinking of this, the second master of the water let out a string of sighs, seeing that the animals can't speak, but in his heart, he knows very well, whoever is good to it, it will feel whose kindness.

This beast!

Just when Shui Er Ye stretched out his hand to comb the mane of the old green horse, the mountain wind whistled violently, and Shui Er Ye was so frightened that he withdrew his hand, and when he was sure that it was Yingying's mount mountain wind, his heart was dark.

It's really dark.

At that moment, he jumped out of the stable and shouted at the old butler who was busy in the backyard: "What are you still rubbing, didn't you hear the roar——"

The housekeeper's eyes straightened, and when he saw the owner's face clearly, he was so shocked that he dropped the wooden stick in his hand and ran out.

The third daughter, Shui Yingying, let the jujube red horse mountain wind fall into the middle of the cliff, but fortunately, the cliff was full of trees, and Shui Yingying practiced martial arts again, so she was not killed. However, he was still wounded. When the housekeeper Lao Qitou led people to the Falling Tears Cliff, the third daughter Shui Yingying had passed out, and from a distance, she looked like a hare hanging upside down on a tree.

At more than five o'clock in the afternoon, the courtyard of the Shui family was still in chaos, and the Donggou Leng Chinese medicine doctor who had tied his five sons and rode a fast horse was still carefully medicating Yingying in the south courtyard, and he heard someone in the courtyard shouting: "Oh no, the rats are on the wall!" ”

The second master of Shui, who scared his daughter Yingying half to death, was lying in the upper house at that time, and was carefully taken care of by the five sons of the long-term worker. Tethered to the fifth son's side, the fourteen-year-old dog was holding a bowl of bean batter, and his face was pale miserably. As soon as Shui Erye was frightened, he couldn't eat anything, which was his problem for many years. Sister-in-law Wu deliberately settled the dog and mixed a bowl of bean batter, saying that the bean batter was shocking, and the owner could relieve himself after eating it. But the dog held it for a long time, and Shui Erye didn't even open his eyes. Except for a sound of ** for half a day, people are no different from dead. The dog was thinking about whether to take it back, when he saw Sister-in-law Wu running in in a panic and shouting like a lost soul: "Oh no, the owner, the rats are on the wall." ”

"What?" Shui Erye, who had been in a coma, suddenly turned over and jumped under the kang. The five sons of the tie were strong, and they pressed him on the kang. Sister-in-law Wu was about to shout, but she drank with her five sons, and the words in Sister-in-law Wu's mouth scared back into her stomach.

"Mouse, you say mouse?" The second master of the water who was pressed on the kang by the fifth son bounced up again, and screamed in a lost soul.

Sister-in-law Wu had no choice but to repeat the words again.

"Take me to see it!" The second master jumped off the kang in a hurry, and he didn't care about putting on his shoes, so he ran to the kitchen.

Sister-in-law Wu shouted in a panic behind her: "Dongjia, you can't see it, it's black, it's a black mouse, it's bigger than a cat......"

Sister-in-law Wu didn't lie at all. When the five sons rushed into the kitchen, they saw fifty or sixty black rats as if they had gathered to eat and drink, some squatting on the pot, and some lying on the wall. Yes, he simply stood on the rice jar generously, straightened his neck and smiled at Wuzi. The five sons were so frightened that they snorted, turned around and ran out.

The second master of Shui, who arrived later, really saw the scene of the black rat making trouble. it, I fell headlong to the ground, and I couldn't get up again.

On this day, the water family can be said to be chaotic to the extreme. Donggou Leng Chinese Medicine, who is known as a chaotic Chinese medicine practitioner, showed panic for the first time in his life, and in the running back and forth between the South Courtyard and the Upper Hospital, he planted a fight twice, and once, he spilled a bowl of Chinese medicine on the ground in his hand. By the time Second Master Shui was able to catch his breath a little, the night had tightly wrapped Qingshiling and the mansion.

The first thing Shui Er Ye said when he woke up was: "Go and invite the eye officer, go quickly-"

The barbarian woman who called the eye official never imagined that she could be invited to the Shui family compound. In fact, before going out this time, the barbarian woman who called the eye official was quite over the route, which was the housekeeping ability of the barbarian women. Before going out every time, the barbarian women had to light incense wax, kneel in front of the incense table, close their eyes, and hold their breath for a while. This is the direction, and the word direction is the road to begging for life and the line of making a fortune for the barbarian. Generally speaking, nine out of ten barbarian women will be quite in the right direction, not only the direction, but also the days of going out and the number of days of coming and going, can be quite clear in front of the incense case. The barbarians will never go against this direction, let alone stay outside for an extra day, even if there are knives in the sky, they will rush back to Sucigou on a good day.

For many years, the barbarian woman of Suotigou has stubbornly adhered to this creed, which has made the name of the barbarian woman more and more famous. Within a radius of several hundred miles, the barbarian woman almost robbed the business of the Taoist priest Shenhan and half immortals, especially a big family like the Shui family, who became more and more convinced of the barbarian woman in trouble.

When the five sons rushed to Erdaoxian in the moonlight, the "Yang Pan" were gathering in the cave, blaming the eye official, which means that she gave the route quite wrong, doesn't it mean that you don't need to leave Qingshiling this time, you can earn silver taels? During the argument, I saw that the moonlight moved, and suddenly there was a dark shadow at the entrance of the cave.

Before the fifth son could speak, the barbarian who called the eye official said: "If you don't stay, I want to find the door at night." Tie the five sons and knelt down: "Yanguan Niangniang, the owner regrets it and asked me to bring you a horse." ”

The "Yang Pan" were surprised, and they heard the barbarian woman who called the eye official say: "The East Palace Niangniang has gone to heaven, and the West Palace Niangniang has entered the sea, if your family comes to disaster, it must be the ancestors who are not happy." ”

Oh my! When the errand tied five sons heard this, they were shocked at the moment, and their heads hit the ground. "Niangniang is right, my family, no, it's the owner who ......"

"What's wrong with the owner?"

"Yes...... It's the ancestors...... The ancestors went up to the wall. ”

"Oh-" Under the moonlit night, in the cave, the barbarian woman who called the eye official started the three-talent board. Now, after all, she believes that she didn't go in the wrong direction, let alone the purpose and difficulties of this trip. She knew that the time to test her and the "sheep pan" had come, and whether the name of the barbarian woman could be called louder or not depended on this trip.

"The ancestors went up to the wall, and the descendants will suffer, three pigs, five sheep, and the whole courtyard is clothed in black."

When the barbarian woman who called the eye official stepped into the Shui family compound again, the Shui family compound was no longer the big mansion that was flat and stable, but more like an earthquake, and the screams and howls of killing pigs and sheep in the courtyard all night made the entire Qingshiling nervous. Then the mysterious behavior of the ladies who rushed to make black clothes overnight made the mansion more and more gloomy.

16

In the blink of an eye, May 16 has arrived.

After a catastrophe, the Shui family finally came out of the haze. The uninterrupted eyes of the eight barbarian women for seven days and seven nights resurrected the Shui family compound from a life and death catastrophe. Gong sent away the barbarian mother-in-law, Shui Erye's sallow face showed the first glimmer of light, standing in the light and shadow full of hope in the early morning, Shui Erye's tight heart slowly relaxed. Sixteen, sixteen, you're finally here.

Originally, Second Master Shui was reluctant to let the barbarian mother-in-law go, since he could settle the rats in a kitchen, and since he could resolve the sudden unpeace, he should stay, help him carry his daughter-in-law in, and help him pacify Bao'er's lonely soul. The barbarian woman who can call the eye official does not agree, saying that the god of heaven is in charge of the god, and the god of the earth is in charge of the god of the earth, and the barbarian woman only helps people settle the four pillars, and she does not participate in any red and white affairs. Now that the four pillars are stable, there will be no more shaking of the mountains in the Shui family, and her task will be completed.

The second master of the water is grateful, early in the morning of May 15, in front of the whole hospital, the second master of the water held a grand farewell ceremony, after the generous thanks, the backyard led out eight horses, prepared a red saddle and red pedals, pulled the red silk ten zhang long, hit the first horse tied to the eighth, mighty, along the direction of the two Xianzi.

The entire bluestone ridge made the road red, as if it had changed color.

Standing in the morning light of May 15, Er Shui's heart swelled up layer after layer. The barbarian woman who called the eye official is right, the Shui family has made a fortune over the years, and it is a big momentum, but the worries of the ancestors are also great, and the problem is still that the Shui family is not behind. If there is a male baby, if Bao'er does not die early, the ancestors will not need to be in such a hurry. Seeing that Shui Er Ye is getting old day by day, the pillars of this courtyard are unstable and swaying, so I have to think hard to make the pillars stable.

Hold it up.

Second Master Shui sighed, this sigh, there is too much anxiety and anxiety in it, and there is also too much guilt and self-blame in it. As soon as he thought of his ancestors, the waves in Shui Erye's heart suddenly disappeared.

The ancestors of the Shui family were from Shaxiang, and they fled to Wanzhongtai in the hands of the grandfather of the second master of Shui, who fled to Wanzhongtai, Wanzhongtai was originally a good place, and the Shui family was about to make a career there, but they were robbed and plundered, and the good future of the Shui family was ruined. Brother Shui Boss couldn't get used to him holding a cigarette gun all day long, smowing to death, teaching him a hard lesson, the teenage Shui Lao Er escaped from Wanzhongtai in a rage, came to Donggou, lowered his head and was ruthless to Donggou He family as a cattle herder. Thinking about it, how unbearable those days were, every time I stood under the warm sky of Qingshiling, Shui Erye's heart would set off one wave after another. This is the wave of the world, this is the wave of life, this is the sigh that a man with ambition cannot but make.

"You are a sand rat, a bitter ghost, you are not afraid of hard death!"

Suddenly, a vicious scolding sounded in the ears of Second Master Shui.

Sand rats are the vicious scolding of the people in the Qingfeng Gorge area to the people of Shaxiang, including Mr. Leng, a traditional Chinese medicine, who also scolded like this when he was in a hurry. In the eyes of Qingfengxia people, Shaxiang is synonymous with bitterness, no one in Shaxiang is not a bitter star, and no one is not up in the middle of the night to grab the sun and moon with God. "You're a poor ghost, and you broke the whole family to eat—"

This time, it was the voice of the in-law He Dajuan.

In front of him, his in-laws He Dayu dared to throw such a scold to Damei.

Sand rats! What a scolding that people can't swallow. But if you can't swallow it, you have to swallow it, who let your ancestors be reincarnated as sand rats for generations.

Shui Erye was stunned for a while, and as soon as he looked up, he saw a round of red sun erupting, followed by a dazzling light from the bluestone ridge. It's time to act, and we can't let Bao'er wait any longer.

The Shuijia compound, which had just breathed a sigh of relief, was immediately busy again.

When it was dark, a sedan chair carried the hope of several generations of the Shui family and walked towards the west ditch of Qingfeng Gorge. On the other hand, the housekeeper Lao Qitou took a few half-hundred-year-old men and followed the Taoist priest Sun Jiaban and walked towards Erdao Xianzi. This is called a road for cars and a road for horses. Sun Jiaban wants to bring Bao'er's soul back before the sedan chair enters the door, and invites it together, as well as the second master of Shui's life.

Xigou came to Lu's house, and the air was so quiet that it was crushing people. An hour ago, the cold Chinese medicine doctor who rushed back from Qingshiling gave the last pulse to pick up the grass, and in the almost desperate waiting of the father and son, the cold Chinese medicine doctor who finished the pulse said with a cold face: "Come to the road, no need, no medicine, idle, peace of mind, let the girl go on the road." ”

After speaking, Leng Zhongyi rolled his sleeves, got off the kang with a heavy heart, lowered his head, and walked out of the cave.

The father and son were dumbfounded, the two of them were like wooden stakes, the footsteps of the cold Chinese medicine had disappeared for a long time, and the two wooden stakes were still frozen in place stupidly.

There was no voice, no crying, no sighing. The darkness of the night obscured the expressions of the two men, and it was impossible to tell whether they were in pain or despair.

The old five paste didn't come. On this happy day, the Donggou matchmaker Lao Wumu didn't come.

The second aunt at the bottom of the slope had come, and when she saw the cold gray dead stove, she stood silently for a moment, and went out with a pair of red eyes.

At this time, there were only three people in the room. The eldest picks up sheep and curls up at the second aunt's house at the bottom of the slope like a dog, and what the second aunt can do is to take care of the sheep for them.

The girl picks up grass and is as soft as wheat grass on the kang, and she can't tell whether she is alive or dead.

Father and son just stood.

Standing.

After about a lifetime, the footsteps finally sounded at the bottom of the slope, picking up grain and thinking it was the second aunt, and then I didn't hear it, the footsteps were very dense and tight, and I heard that it was a sedan chair from Qingshiling. Shiliang's lips moved, and he said to his father, "It's here." ”

"Here we are."

The dead man who came to the road usually repeated the words of collecting grain.

Father and son were still standing.

The sedan chair stopped at the gate of the courtyard in a panic, and by the thin light, he saw two black shadows sneaking into the courtyard quickly, rushing into the cave like a thief, picking up grass and running. When he was about to leave the cave, one pulled out a piece of red cloth from his bosom and threw it on the kang, and the other pulled out a pile of black paper from under his armpit and coldly hit the grain and the road in the face.

Picking up grain and coming quietly, as if nothing had happened in the cave.

After a dense noise, there was silence outside the courtyard gate, and there was silence on the hillside, except for the pile of wheat straw lit by the palanquin drivers, and the entire Xigou could not see what was happening.

In the light of the firelight of the wheat grass, a black shadow crouched under the head of a dirt cliff at the bottom of the slope. Take a closer look, it's the old five paste.

Not far from Lao Wumu, another shadow was also squatting, squatting into a black stone, which was a well-known cold Chinese medicine doctor in Donggou.

When the wheat grass was about to burn out, she found another shadow on the way, she cried, her hands were still grasping her heart, and the early white hair in the moonlight told the night that she was the second aunt under the slope.

The sedan chair drivers worked hard all the way, not because the Shui family gave more silver, but because the newcomers in the sedan chair were dying, forcing them to run fast. The barbarian woman who called the eye official said that it was the Sun family class who was invited by the later days, and she also said that if the newcomer swallowed his breath in the sedan chair, none of the people who carried the sedan chair could live until dawn.

Almost at the same time, Sun Jiaban's ringer shook through Qingshiling. The seven Taoist priests puffed up their mouths, blew from the grass beach to the second Dao Xianzi, and circled the tomb seven times, and the leading Sun Lao Dao exerted all his strength, holding a compass in one hand and a magic weapon in the other. Take a step, cut a step. Where the magic weapon landed, there were old housekeepers and others who threw a lot of paper money down. Among the paper money, a mother and son in the grave accepted the invitation. In the ear-piercing ringing of the ringer, Sun Laodao shouted: "Please undead—"

There were two little Taoist priests holding two mahogany boxes in their arms, kneeling in front of the tomb, and the cow hair duster in Sun Laodao's hand shook left three times, right three times, and with a bang, hit the mahogany box. People clearly heard a shout, and that shout really sounded like it was made by Bao'er. Sure enough, Sun Laodao's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth raised, and he slapped the mahogany box with one hand, and saw a yellow talisman firmly attached to the box. The little Taoist priest holding the mahogany box immediately raised his legs and ran down the ridge like a wolf. From the grave to the courtyard, the little Taoist priest almost ran in one breath, all the way, he didn't dare to look back.

By the time the two little Taoists ran into the courtyard out of breath, everything in the courtyard was ready to stop. The room in the south courtyard with the big red word "Xi" is used for worship, and Bao'er's soul is placed there. There was already a straw man on the wooden chair, wearing a bright red dress, sitting on the chair decently, with a smile on his face. In the room next to Shui Erye in the upper courtyard, a few black cloths served as curtains, wrapping the room tightly, and the atmosphere was even more terrifying. However, Shui Erye's face was upright, he was wearing a green robe, wearing a melon skin hat, sitting on the Taishi's chair, holding the mahogany box handed over by the little Taoist priest in his arms. At this moment, he really seemed to be holding his rival Cao Erxiu in his arms again.

After a while, the shouts of the palanquin drivers came from the grass beach outside the courtyard: "The newcomer has entered the door-"

Next, everything is like a happy event in the ditch. Relatives who arrived a day earlier were dressed in the moonlight, with envy or jealousy, to see how the Shui family carried the newlyweds into the courtyard under the moonlight. The housekeeper has become the protagonist for a while, inside and out, and he is very busy. The newcomer gets off the sedan chair, steps on the brazier, crosses the felt, crosses the bucket, crosses the high bridge, and the number of rituals is according to the folk customs. Since there was no one from her mother's house, the matter of taking care of the bride fell on Sister-in-law Wu, and when the rules of the courtyard were finished, the newlyweds entered the cave room, and the forty-year-old sister-in-law Wu was so tired that she couldn't breathe.

The banquet was opened in the middle of the night, and it is said that the banquet should wait until dawn, which is nothing to pay attention to, and Sun Laodao also said so. But the second master of Shui insisted on letting him pull the table overnight, saying that things in the dark would not be pushed to the day, and the Shui family would not be unable to light the lamp. In a word, the front and back yards of the South Courtyard of the Upper Courtyard were all lit up with horse lanterns, and the entire Qingshi Ridge suddenly became bright and mysterious.

More than 200 relatives from outside the gorge and more than 300 neighbors from Dongxigou who heard the news and rushed to eat the flowing water banquet, all of them shook their spirits and vowed to eat a good meal from his water family. At this moment, I heard Xiao Wuzi, a guy in charge of waiting for relatives and friends in the backyard, come to say: "Uncle Shui is angry, and he eats a banquet in the middle of the night, not a ghost banquet." ”

When Shui Erye heard this, his face immediately pulled down: "If he doesn't eat and pull down, tell him that it's good not to eat for three days!" ”

Xiao Wuzi stood by the door, not daring to leave. Second Master Shui snorted, and Xiao Wuzi said timidly: "The owner, the big owner, he ......."

"What kind of proprietor is he, say, what's wrong?"

"Uncle, uncle, he ...... Hug your clothes and cry. ”

Cry? The second master of the water was inexplicable, but after thinking about it, it was clear. smiled gloomily and said to Xiao Wuzi: "Let him cry, I don't have enough clothes, I still have miles here." ”

Xiao Wuzi walked for a long time, and the dark clouds on Shui Erye's face had not receded. He knew that his elder brother Boss Shui must have remembered Cao Erxiu, and what he hugged must be the clothes that the barbarian woman who called the eye official prepared for Cao Erxiu. After thinking about it, he shouted at the subordinates: "Go over and bring me clothes!" ”

This night, the water boss from Wanzhongtai didn't eat, and when someone asked in the middle, the housekeeper only said: "Uncle is not feeling well, lying on the kang and smoking." ”

The head mat was pulled, and the time was almost up, and it was the turn of the newcomer to worship the high hall. The housekeeper shouted: "Artillery battle, please Gaotang-" I saw the second master of Shui walking out in a green robe, and in his arms, he was holding a black dress made by the barbarian woman who called the eye officer. Originally, Sun Laodao wanted to tie a straw man, saying that he wanted the straw man to wear black clothes, which looked even more like a thing. The second master of the water didn't allow it, he said: "I'm holding it, I'm holding it......"

In the south courtyard, hearing the shout, Sister-in-law Wu shook her spirits, and hugged a handful of dry firewood into her arms, and the two little Taoist priests held the straw man, and slowly followed Sun Laodao to the upper courtyard. Along the way, gathered relatives who were full of food and burping. At this time, people's eyes are a little afraid, not only afraid, but even a little ......

Sun Laodao let people see his kung fu on this day, from worshipping the high hall to worshipping heaven and earth, he made a pair of dead people like living people, not only did not show a trace of fear, but on the contrary, people were greatly opened. After the three strings of artillery battles were fired, the newcomer entered the cave room again, and the Shui family compound was overflowing with joy.

The first wisps of white seeped out from the East.

Bluestone Ridge ushered in another unusual day.

For several days, Shui Yingying was stuffy in the house, not talking to anyone.

The injury that was broken by the horse was not healed, and the medicine of cold Chinese medicine did not seem to work, so I had to lie on the kang and sulk with myself every day.

Shui Yingying is a mountain wind. Bastard, how can you lose your temper and throw her off a cliff. She vaguely remembered that the mountain wind that day seemed to be startled and disturbed by something, and suddenly, it became a fierce beast, and even she couldn't control it. These days, she thinks about it, what did the mountain wind see? Maybe, a rat?

It is rare to see rats on the grass beach, and as long as Peng is there, the rats will not dare to be arrogant. Can......

Another, Shui Yingying is a gas daddy.

How could he really be so ruthless as to carry the grass through the door?

Shui Yingying doesn't eat food, she doesn't drink water, her father has come in a few times, and every time she talks to her, she pretends not to hear. That's not all, she also kicked Sister-in-law Wu out! "What are you, Scourge Leader, I don't want you to wait!" She yelled at Sister-in-law Wu, who was holding a medicine bowl and feeding her.

Sister-in-law Wu covered her face and went out. Shui Yingying still didn't comply, and called the dog: "You listen to me, in the future, she will dare to enter this door again and beat me with a broom!" Shui Yingying's words made the dog shudder. In Qingfeng Gorge, you can't beat people with brooms, brooms are the home of barbarian women and old ways to fight ghosts.

After three days of flowing water banquet, my father meant to let her eat a meal, and asked the dog to bring a few daughters-in-law from Donggou to carry her, who knew that when she heard it, she became angry. yelled at several daughters-in-law: "I'd rather eat poison than eat this table!" ”

These words made the second master of Shui feel very sad. To this day, he can't change the girl's heart, it seems that in the matter of Bao'er, the girl Yingying is against him to the end.

The second master of the water hugged his heart and cried in his own room for a night, who in the world knows the hardships of being a mother-

The next day, Shui Er Ye tried to walk to Yingying's house again, and when he walked to the door of the backyard, he met Sister-in-law Wu. After the big joy, Sister-in-law Wu also seemed to be a different person, with fewer words, no more laughter, drooping her head, and not knowing what to worry about. Seeing Second Master Shui, Sister-in-law Wu owed her body, which was regarded as a gift. Second Master Shui asked, "Boss, didn't you let you take care of it?" Sister-in-law Wu bowed her head and said, "Uncle is clamoring to go back." ”

"Go back? Eating and drinking for nothing and still annoying him? Let's go, take me to see it. After speaking, the second master of the water stepped into the backyard, and Sister-in-law Wu followed a few steps, grabbed the front and said: "Second master, you are gone, uncle he ......."

"What's wrong with him?"

"You...... You just asked, second master, I want to go back to my hometown, do you think so? ”

"What?!"

Shui Erye didn't go to the backyard or the south courtyard after all. When Sister-in-law Wu cried and cried to go back to her hometown, a cloud suddenly appeared in his heart. He waved his hand at Sister-in-law Wu, didn't say anything, turned his steps, and walked gloomily to the grass beach. The grass beach in May is the season when all kinds of flowers compete for beauty, and the second master of the water walked a few steps and sat on the grass beach with a sigh. It can be seen that his heart is more blocked than anyone else.

Shui Yingying's heart is also blocked. At noon, someone came to the second sister's house. It was a young man who came, and Shui Yingying didn't know him. The young man said that he recognized her, and said that when the second son accompanied her to Pingyangchuan, he was the horse he led. At the mention of the second son, Shui Yingying's heart darkened. After a while, Shui Yingying asked, "What about the second sister, why didn't she come?" ”

The young man snorted for a while and said, "My lord is uncomfortable, and he is busy with business, so the eldest lady really can't leave." ”

"Can't leave, can't leave, they can't leave!" Shui Yingying scolded while throwing down the pillow on the kang.

Only then did people know that Yingying was thinking about her two sisters.

Also, her mother died early, Yingying's relationship with her two sisters is deeper than that of other people's sisters, the Shui family has such a big happy event, and it is strange that Yingying is not sad when she can't see the two sisters.
