Chapter 221: Chastity
Farewell to the butterfly, the two sisters are still a little frightened, the usual familiar path, how to walk feel eerie, even this quiet small village, as if suddenly turned into a mouth devouring monster entrenched in the dark.
Bai Hui'er may think less, but Xu Wenlan thinks too much.
I have seen a lot of this terrible thing in the news, and I have heard that the sister of a colleague and a relative's family returned to her hometown from the county in broad daylight, and she disappeared, and some people said that the girl eloped with someone, but the body was found in the green gauze tent during the autumn harvest, and there was another girl's body not far away.
People who do evil like this usually live nearby, and now that the murderer has not been caught, it may be hidden in a certain place, and it is even very likely that it is someone who is backing the mountain.
The more Xu Wenlan thought about it, the more scared she became, although after more than ten years, the people in the village had long forgotten about it, but the murderer knew it. may pretend to be an honest person on weekdays, but who knows if it will be because of the repetition of the old things, and evil thoughts will arise again?
She panicked in her heart, and when she saw a dark shadow in the distance, she couldn't help but scream, which frightened the man.
"What's it called? What's going on? ”
As soon as he spoke, he heard who it was, Bai Shengwen hurriedly smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, it's okay, even my family Wen Lan is a little scared......"
"No, it's weird...... it's weird," Wang Zhili couldn't help but sigh.
When I got closer, I saw Wang Zhili carrying a basket: "I'll send a basket of eggs to Mama Mama." ”
Just a basket of eggs? How can it be? If it was just a basket of eggs, Wang Zhili would not have made this trip in person, and he could send his son to it casually.
However, Xu Wenlan and the others didn't ask about this, how much Mama Ma did for things, that was a secret that no one would say, but in short, it was very profitable.
Even if they only do Dharma rites a few times a year, they are usually just some small jobs such as fortune-telling and curing external diseases, which can make their lives comfortable.
"Let's go home quickly! Don't run around with this black light......"
Sanxiao agreed, and when Wang Zhili passed, Xu Wenlan couldn't help but mutter: "It would be nice to have street lights." ”
In these days, there is no such thing as street lights, there is no electricity, and there is not even a lantern on the roadside.
As soon as it gets dark, it is a dark piece, and there are few people who are willing to keep the oil lamp on in the lamp oil house. Even in the county town, only high-ranking families will hang lanterns in front of the door, and the alleys on the streets are not the same dark.
But this has a little advantage, the lanterns sell quickly, this night is dark, the ancients can not carry the lanterns, which is like the modern day, the dark sky is as bright as day, I have not seen anyone on the street to play with a flashlight.
When they returned home, Xu Wenlan and Bai Hui'er didn't hide it from Zhu, and told Zhu everything that the butterfly said.
Zhu sighed when she heard it, she still didn't want to talk to the two girls about this kind of thing, such a thing is an unspeakable and dirty thing.
"Yingzi, that girl, is born a white and pure life, and she is only called a cool person when she speaks, and her smile is like a silver bell, and many young men in the village are in love with her and want to marry her as a daughter-in-law. But who would have thought that such a thing happened, and I don't know when I suffered that trouble, and I only hanged myself when I couldn't hide it anymore - poor ......"
Bai Hui'er gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "What is the death, if you want to die, you have to find that Wang Balamb first, kill him and then die!" ”
Rolling her eyelids, Xu Wenlan snorted: "Death, what death!" Even if you kill the eight lambs, you don't have to die? Isn't that what you do? If you are bitten by a dog, what else can you not do? If you are afraid of being laughed at, who knows if you hide and give birth to the child? If you don't want it, you can't go far and knock the child down......"
Raising her head and looking at the Zhu mother and daughter staring at her, Xu Wenlan blinked: "What's wrong?" ”
"No, nothing...... It's good to have a big heart. Zhu Shi was silent at first, then laughed after thinking about it: "Although it is said that a woman's chastity is greater than the sky, everything is not as important as being alive - Wen Lan, it's good if you can think like this......"
Raising her eyebrows, Xu Wenlan secretly thought that maybe her words were said so generously in this era, which was really a bit shocking in this era, but some words were not spit out and unhappy: "Originally, what kind of nonsense like 'starvation to death is small, and loss of festival is big' is written by those patriarchs to coax women, why can women's chastity be kept, and men can lose chastity like shit?" I haven't seen a man who has to die if he loses his temper......"
Burst out laughing, Bai Hui'er looked at Xu Wenlan and said with a smile: "Your future husband will be bearable, if something happens outside, you still have to force him to have a martyrdom?" Poor ......."
After laughing, he sighed in a low voice: "In short, it's a poor woman!" Good girl, just by what you said, sister, I will respect you in the future, well, you, you can be a gentleman, if there is a female student. ”
Zhu Shi smiled: "Is there really any female student, who dares to invite Wen Lan to give a lecture?" Isn't it going to be a big mess in the world? ”
opened her mouth, Xu Wenlan still swallowed the words that came to her mouth, and only murmured: "It was originally ......."
In her time, the three people and the four virtues had already had a new understanding, who would dare to say such a thing as martyrdom without being drowned by the spitting stars?
After that, Bai Hui'er reduced a few points to Bai Shengwen, and Bai Shengwen, a scholar, actually just smiled faintly: "Wen Lan has the demeanor of a woman in the Tang Dynasty and the Great Zhou." ”
After a sentence, it was quite appreciative, Bai Hui'er turned around and learned this to Xu Wenlan again, and said sourly: "There is no man in this world who is more tolerant of you than our Shengwen." ”
Xu Wenlan didn't think about it at first, and then looked at the smile on Bai Hui'er's face, but she thought about it.
"Yo, come and tease me now, it seems that Brother Lock hasn't been idle in the past few days, right?"
One sentence annoyed Bai Hui'er, and she rushed over and shouted to tear her mouth, forgetting that she had said that she would respect three points before.
In a blink of an eye, it's July 14th, the day before Halloween, the day you want to burn paper money, after this day, Halloween night is generally not to burn paper, I think it is also related to the night of Halloween.
"Go back in a while, you have to go back the same way, you can't walk around, remember - don't walk blindly......" Bai Shengwen reminded in a whisper, and said: "Our Bai family burns paper thread every year, unlike the old grave in the local area, and the tomb is swept every year during the festival and burns the paper thread in front of the tomb." ”
When the Bai family burned paper money, Bai Yingkui took his two sons with him and shared the paper money of 200 wen, but today he came out to burn some paper money for the Yingzi girl, which was the intention of Bai Huier and Xu Wenlan.
Last night, Wang Zhili took Wang Chunniu to burn half a load of paper thread, I heard that there are also many families in the village who have added money, Xu Wenlan and Bai Hui'er did not go with the big guys, but bought the paper thread themselves to worship in person, which can be regarded as a full heart.
