Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Marriage in the Mountains
Hearing this, I hurriedly clasped my fists and saluted, and said, "It's polite." My name is Li Ergou, I am a pedestrian, passing by your door, seeing that there is no other family around, I stopped, I want to come to you for a night, I don't know if it is convenient or not? "Of course, I am not telling all the truth, and the purpose of coming here is to verify what Master is referring to, but I must not say anything about the big black dog.
Because this young man is a great living person in the yang world, and the big black dog is the yin dog in the underworld, and the yin and yang have different paths, and I can't talk nonsense if I shouldn't say it. But leaving aside the problem of the big black dog itself, I could find no other excuse to use than to use this excuse to approach the young man. When the young man heard my words, he immediately nodded and smiled: "Brother Ergou turned out to be a cultivator, not to mention, I have met a few Taoist priests passing by in the mountains before, and I pointed them out the way, since this is the case, then Brother Ergou should hurry up and go into the house to talk." ”
In this way, I followed the young man into the house, but the big black dog was still sitting at the gate of the courtyard, with his head facing the courtyard and his buttocks facing outward, motionless. Seeing the young man close the door, I asked, "Dare to ask your little brother's surname?" ”
"Huh! Brother Ergou, don't be polite, I am a native of the mountains, and my name is Li Sanwazi. ”
Li Sanwazi said, and hurriedly invited me into the inner room, and the outer room was directly shared between the hall and the kitchen, and the inner room was a simple bedroom. took out a stool for me to sit down, and then, Li Sanwazi said again: "Brother Ergou, in this area, I dare to say that you can't find a second family, because now in this mountain, there is only one family left." There were four or five families who came before, but they all made a living by hunting, but as a result, more people from outside the mountains went into the mountains to hunt, and they gradually became unable to make a living, and they all moved out. But I'm poor and white, and I have no old or young, and I have no place to move, so I have been living here. ”
To say that this Li Sanwa is really a kind person, since I entered the house until now, he has been busy with this and that, and then poured me a bowl of cold boiled water. I'm not welcome, I picked up the bowl and poured it. Then I heard Li Sanwazi say again: "Brother Ergou, it is rare for someone to enter the mountain, in fact, I am alone in the mountain, and I am really bored and panicked." Hehe, Brother Ergou, don't dislike me for talking too much, I'm just excited for a while, but someone listens to me. ”
"Huh!"
I shook my head with a smile and said, "You said yours, in fact, I am quite interested in your mountains, and I came here to learn more about you." By the way, since you don't have any living relatives, you haven't kept some poultry or something? The busy work inside and out, at least not as lonely as it is now, is it? Speaking of this, I couldn't help but glance through the window in the direction of the courtyard gate, in fact, the purpose of this is to lead the topic to the big black dog.
Although I can't tell this Li Sanwazi about the yin dog, I can at least ask what the big black dog is all about. Hearing my words, Li Sanwazi's face suddenly froze, which I didn't expect. I saw Li Sanwazi sitting on the edge of the bed very uncomfortably, hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "Brother Ergou, in fact, I won't hide it from you, I ...... before I used to have a big black dog at home, it was called Kuroko, but ......"
"But what?"
I hurriedly asked.
Li Sanwazi fell silent again, and after a while, he whispered: "It was raised by my grandfather, and when my grandfather died three years ago, he left the sunspot for me in the world and accompanied me." However, more than a month ago, Kuroko also reached his age and died quietly. Alas, I thought that Kuroko would be able to accompany me until I was old, but Kuroko's lifespan is still too short, and it can't help but make people sad......"
It turned out that the big black dog was really raised by Li Sanwazi's family, and it was also Li Sanwazi's grandfather, the only property left at home. Well, now that the owner of the big black dog has finally been determined, in that case, I can follow the vine and ask about the big black dog clearly. However, Li Sanwazi is at a sad time at the moment, if I ask further, it seems to be ...... Not quite right.
But soon, Li Sanwazi himself said: "After Kuroko died, I buried it next to my grandfather's grave." I remember that in the first few days of its death, I often dreamed at night, I could dream of it, and the strange thing is that every time I dreamed of it, it was squatting at the door of my yard, looking up at the yard, and being reluctant to give up on this home, so that every time I saw it, my heart was extremely sour. ”
Hearing this, I suddenly turned my head and glanced outside, this, this Li Sanwazi's dream, it's just weird, this is clearly true! It's a pity that Li Sanwazi doesn't have yin and yang eyes, otherwise he can see the big black dog now, so he squatted at the gate of the courtyard, and couldn't help it, I asked tentatively: "Sanwazi, if there is knowledge under the sunspot spring, I must be reluctant to part with you, everything has spirituality, although the sunspot is just a dog, but of course the dog is the same." ”
"Alas, Brother Ergou, let's not talk about this matter first, in fact, I have another annoyance recently, and this matter has troubled me so much that I can't eat and sleep!" Li Sanwazi then frowned again, and said with a bitter face: "In addition, I can still dream of sunspots in the past two days, but sunspots ...... The sunspot doesn't seem to be as well-behaved as it used to be, and when I dreamed of the sunspot these few times, it always bites at me, chasing me all the way, so scared that I don't dare to think of it anymore now! ”
"Uh...... How so? Isn't that sunspot a dog that has been in your house for more than ten years? You and your grandfather should be treated as relatives, how can they bite you? I frowned, and hurriedly asked again: "Sanwazi, you tell me what your troubles are first, I haven't found out just now, I feel that you look haggard at the moment, and you really haven't slept for several days." Tell me, what are you worried about? ”
When Li Sanwazi heard this, he suddenly lowered his head, I was stunned, and I clearly found that Li Sanwazi seemed to be a little embarrassed, but Li Sanwazi didn't seem to be a person who was hiding things in his heart, and it seemed that when he saw me, a passer-by who met in Pingshui, he also wanted to say everything in his heart, a typical honest person...... "Brother Ergou, this matter is troublesome, in fact, it is my marriage...... Speaking of which, half a month ago, it was the third anniversary of my grandfather's death, and I went to my grandfather's grave to burn paper, but when I came back, I met a ......"
According to Li Sanwazi, after he went to the grave that time, that is, in the evening, because his grandfather's grave was far away, he had to climb two mountains before he could come back. But just when he had crossed a hill and had just arrived in the col, and was about to climb up the back mountain, at the foot of the mountain, he actually met a young woman who was as beautiful as a flower, according to Li Sanwazi's description, the woman was dressed elegantly and neatly, and her face was beautiful and fascinating. In short, she is a young twenty-eight girl, Li Sanwazi can't describe it, so she appeared at the foot of the desolate mountain out of thin air, sitting alone on a big rock to rest.
Li Sanwazi looked around and saw no one, to say that the appearance of this lonely man and widow in the barren mountains and mountains is indeed a little inappropriate, Li Sanwazi wanted to leave, but unexpectedly found that the girl's foot was injured. Approaching a look, only to know that the girl sat alone that there was a reason, after careful questioning, I completely understood, the girl's name is Xiaowen, the family lives in the east of Qipan Mountain, from her location, there are more than ten miles of mountain road, she is a medicine picker in the mountain, in order to find a taste of herbs, in the mountains for most of the day, the result is not only lost, but also foot.
To say that the area of this chessboard mountain is dozens of miles, before and after, Li Sanwazi didn't dare to say that he had run all over, and when he heard that Miss Xiaowen was also from the mountain, even if he eliminated some embarrassment, he communicated well with Miss Xiaowen, so he carried her back. When she got home, according to Miss Xiaowen's instructions, Li Sanwazi gave medicine to Miss Xiaowen's injured ankle and bandaged it carefully. In this way, the two met like this.
But as soon as it was delayed, it was completely dark, and Li Sanwazi was worried, there were two rooms on the left and right of his house, and the outhouse was shared by the kitchen and hall, and there were no beds at all, only one bed in the inner room. But how could this lonely man and widow be in the same room? In desperation, Li Sanwazi asked Miss Xiaowen to sleep in the inner room, rolled up the bedding by herself, and ran to the grass pile in the kitchen to lie down, so that one of the two was in the outer room and the other was in the inner room.
In the middle of the night, it suddenly rained heavily, and Li Sanwazi was glad to take Miss Xiaowen back home, otherwise how could the girl's family endure such wind and rain alone in the mountains and wilderness? On the second day, I saw that the heavy rain still didn't stop, it kept falling, but it was raining so heavily that Miss Xiaowen's foot injury was not healed, and she couldn't be sent back.
So Li Sanwazi was not embarrassed to drive Miss Xiaowen away, in fact, in his heart, he also faintly liked this young and beautiful girl, she was beautiful and beautiful, and she also knew medical skills, what a good person should be able to match her! If he marries such a girl as his wife, his life will be in vain. After a day of rest, seeing that the heavy rain had been falling, Miss Xiaowen didn't say to go, and gradually she was able to walk on the ground, so she helped Li Sanwazi cook and wash clothes or something, and the two gradually became acquainted, and even had feelings.
For three days, on the evening of the third day, the heavy rain finally stopped, and Miss Xiaowen made a sumptuous dinner for Li Sanwazi, one is to thank Li Sanwazi for saving his life, and the other is that after the rain stops, he will go home, this meal is also a farewell dinner. At that meal, Li Sanwazi drank a lot of wine, and Miss Xiaowen also accompanied Li Sanwazi to drink a few glasses, and after three rounds of wine, Miss Xiaowen confided in her heart, in fact, she also fell in love with Li Sanwazi's simple and honest person, and wanted to get along with Li Sanwazi.
But this matter still needs Li Sanwazi to call the shots, if Li Sanwazi really wants to be good with Xiaowen girl, after Xiaowen girl goes home, she will tell her family about it, and in a few days, the family will come to ask Li Sanwazi's intentions, and then set a date for the two to get married.
When Li Sanwazi heard it, it was full of promises! So he turned his sorrow into joy, and he was drunk with another meal, and he was drunk...... When he woke up the next morning, he was shocked to find that he was lying on the bed, but this was not the most important thing, the most important thing was that he was naked in the bed, and ...... And there was a black hair on the side of the pillow...... Li Sanwa got up, he seemed to think of something, he was shocked for a while, and happy for a while, but more than that, he blamed himself for making a mistake after drinking, and he didn't know if he hurt the Xiaowen girl, let alone where the Xiaowen girl went.
Once Miss Xiaowen returns home, she mistakenly thinks that she is a person who does not know four or six, and does not agree to marry herself, let alone let her family decide to marry, so what can I do......
