"Who?" He asked in a trembling voice. She felt her body tremble, and she didn't seem to be able to walk anymore.

"What are you doing here?"

He Di heard that this was Herui's voice, not his parents, and his heart settled down a little. She calmed down and pretended to be calm and said, "Stay here for a while, listen to the song." ”

"Running here to listen to the song?" He Rui stared at her intently, a strange smile on the corner of her mouth.

"yes." He Tu raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, "Here, the scenery is beautiful at night." ”

Herui sneered and threw the branch in his hand to the ground, "The scenery is good. Hum. She turned to leave, and suddenly saw the messy little dirt hole, so she stopped, "Hey, when did we have this dirt hole?" ”

"I don't know." He Tu had no intention of entanglement with her, tidied up his clothes and walked towards the courtyard. As she passed by Herui's side, she suddenly saw her turn to look at her out of the corner of her eye, and the sinister smile on her lips seemed to prove that she already knew everything.

Her heart beat violently again, and she quickened her pace, until she stepped into the courtyard and saw her mother, who was busy with needlework.

She stomped slowly into the kitchen, her mind pounding. She was thinking about reasoning whether Herui had seen Zhu Hai or not, and seeing Herui's reaction seemed to be that she hadn't seen it, if she saw it, she would definitely say a threatening word of yin and yang, but she didn't say anything. But if you don't see it, why is there such a smile on the corner of Herui's mouth, this is clearly a smile that grabs people's pigtails. The more He Tu thought about it, the more panicked she felt, she wanted to ask He Rui directly, but she was afraid of being exposed. This evening, she was immersed in panicked emotions, and the joyful feeling she felt when she met Zhu Hai was driven away by this emotion. He began to regret meeting Zhu Hai, and if he hadn't met, maybe this kind of nervous and worrying situation would not have arisen. But if you don't meet...... He Di can hardly imagine what kind of life she will live if she doesn't meet, and what is the meaning of walking dead every day?

After a night of fear, Herui didn't make any moves to tell the truth. As usual, she washes her face, feet, brushes her teeth, sleeps on the kang, and carries out daily cynicism with Hedi. He Tu saw that she didn't look strange at all, and her heart finally relaxed a little, and she secretly made up her mind that she couldn't go to the field to meet Zhu Hai in the next few nights.

In the next few days, Hetu behaved very well-behaved. She is more diligent than before, she has done almost all the work in the house, and even the sweater that her mother is knitting she wants to snatch over and knit it herself, but Cuiying refuses. She glared at Hetu and said, "What's wrong with you these two days?" I know it's good to be diligent, but you don't have to keep looking for things to do, you see, I've washed your dress twice, and it's almost rotten. ”

"I'll make it up right away!" He said hurriedly, took the needle and thread from the needle basket, held it up to his eyes to thread the needle and thread, and sewed it on his mother's torn clothes. Cuiying frowned at her daughter, wondering what she was thinking. At this time, Herui walked in from outside the door, Cuiying seemed to guide her own thinking, and said to Herui: "You study hard to learn from your sister, don't always run here and there, you are all teenagers, if you don't learn to cook and learn to do needlework, how will you marry in the future?" ”

"I'm running around?" He Rui smiled indifferently, "I think there are other people running around." ”

Hedi's movements froze, and the needle almost poked into his hand.

As if she hadn't heard, Cuiying still lowered her head to knit a sweater, and continued to count absentmindedly: "The two daughters I gave birth to are both very sensible, but your sisters are too sensible to let you be so naughty and don't have to work to run around, that's because your sister helped you do all the work!" You see, if your sister gets married in the future, what will you do? I'm old and can't do the work, so don't you clean up the house? After two years of studying, it's time for her to come back. Your dad is really, why does a girl read so many books, and in the end she doesn't marry someone to serve her in-laws? Reading books is a waste of money. ”

He Tu peeked at Herui, she looked at the dress that Hetu was sewing with a smile, felt Hedi's gaze, her head raised, and suddenly blinked at Hedi. He Tu hurriedly lowered his head, and he was also unsure of what He Rui meant. What's going on with that look on her face? And what does it express? He thought about it, but he couldn't think of anything.

It was getting dark, and the family that had been working as a carpenter in the yard had also packed up and entered the house. He was sitting under the lamp drinking tea, closing his eyes and savoring it. He Tu thought about it again and again, and felt that he still had to tell Zhu Hai not to let him come to him, what if someone in the family went out and ran into him. Moreover, those who he could not see himself would definitely write to him, and the little dirt cave Herui seemed to have noticed, and it would be bad if his letter was turned over by Herui. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had to do it immediately, but he couldn't find any suitable reason for it. She was absentmindedly wandering around the house, and suddenly heard the sheep in the backyard crying a few times, slapped her head and said loudly: "Oops! I forgot to add grass to the sheep! ”

"Hurry up, you won't be able to see it when it gets dark." Emerald Shadow urged. Since Heyi Hefu went to school, the family has been doing the work of feeding the mules and sheep, so it is up to her to feed or not. He Tu hurriedly lifted the curtain and walked out, took two steps and looked back, there was no one behind him, Herui was still lying on the table in front of her father and playing with the doll that Hedi had lent her to play with for this please. He took a deep breath, quickened his pace, and walked out the back door behind the haystack. In the darkness, it was impossible to see if there was anyone there, and He Tu lowered his voice and called softly: "Zhu Hai? Zhu Hai? ”

"Hedi!" A figure burst out of the corner and jerked her in his arms. Hedi could feel the hard stubble on his face scraping across his face, and a warm patch quickly pressed down on her lips, and the soft tongue quickly invaded. They forgot to be intimate for a few minutes, and then he reluctantly pushed him away and whispered, "You don't want to come these days." ”

"Why?" Zhu Hai's voice was particularly resentful next to her ears.

"My sister seems to have found out."

"Your sister found out?" Zhu Hai was stunned for a moment, and then said indifferently, "If you find it, you will find it, what can she do?" ”

Because of the anxiety in his heart, He Tu didn't notice the frivolity and indifference in Zhu Hai's tone. She shook her head and said, "Okay, I'm going in, you can go quickly." By the way, you don't have to write letters either, in case it's not good for someone else to see it. ”

"Hetu." Zhu Hai grabbed her arm and took her into his arms again, "Don't go." ”

His voice was so aggrieved and gentle, and Hedi's heart softened all of a sudden. She raised her hand and hugged him tightly, and said sullenly: "It's not that I'm leaving, it's no way." ”

"A few more minutes, just a few minutes." Zhu Hai buried her face in the socket of her neck, and the warm breath sprayed on her white and tender skin, causing soft ripples in her heart. She really wanted to agree to Zhu Hai, and she also wanted to be with Zhu Hai for a little longer, a little longer, but even if it was to feed the sheep forage, how long would it take? She felt more and more frightened in her heart, as if her parents were standing behind her and watching her at this moment. Thinking of this, she pushed Zhu Hai away suddenly, shook her head and said, "No, I'm leaving." ”

Zhu Hai looked at her blankly, his eyes were full of reluctant pain and helpless melancholy. He stretched out a hand, but he didn't hold it, and it hung limply in the air, watching her go away.

Skirting the haystack, he wiped his eyes and walked to the back door. Her heart was not sad, she even began to think, why people are bound by so many things, even want to be with the person they like, this moment became the most difficult moment for her life in the world, when she returned to the sheepfold door, she even began to envy the sheep, thinking that they are more free than herself. Stunned, she put the hay away, looked at the sheep and ate the grass for a while, then turned and walked towards the house. The lights had been turned on in the room, and the curtain was lifted, but there was only Herui inside, but his father and mother were gone.

Hearing the footsteps, He Rui raised her head and glanced at her, and sneered: "Mom and Dad are waiting for you in the big room, you can go quickly." ”

"Wait for me?" He asked distractedly, "What are you waiting for me?" ”

"You'll find out when you go."

He Tu turned around in a daze, her heart was full of Zhu Hai's aggrieved gaze when she was leaving, but she didn't have the heart to think about what her parents called her. When one foot stepped on the threshold, she suddenly came to her senses, and her heart thumped, and a bad premonition rushed to her heart.

Jiafu sat in his chair and heard the footsteps of Hetu coming in, and gave her a stern look in his eyes. Cuiying sat on the kang, hating iron and steel, looking at her, for a moment, Hedi thought that her mother was going to rush up and beat herself, but Cuiying finally held back, she glanced at Jiafu, gritted her teeth, lowered her head and stopped looking at Hedi.

"What did you just do?" Jiafu asked her with squinted eyes, anger in his expression. He Tu shuddered, and she said hesitantly: "Here, feed grass to the sheep......"

Jiafu snorted coldly, was silent for a few seconds, and then asked, "Who is that man?" ”

He Tu was shocked and raised his head to look at his parents. I saw them staring straight at themselves, and the atmosphere in the room was very different from usual. She lowered her head in panic and stammered to explain, "What, which man...... No, there are no men......"

"You still don't admit it!" Jiafu slammed the table hard, and both women in the room were startled. Tears of horror were about to come out, and she clung to the door frame and looked at her father in horror.

"How long have you been?" Jiafu stood up and stared at her fiercely.

She had never seen her father like this, she was frightened, even though she wanted to admit it, wanted to beg her parents for forgiveness, but she couldn't say a word of fear, just stared at them blankly. Jiafu became more and more angry, first, angry that his usually well-behaved and obedient daughter would do such a thing, and secondly, angry that they actually met in a tryst under their noses, and they were so bold! If it weren't for what Herui had seen with his own eyes today, he wouldn't have believed that what Herui said was true. Oh yes, and those letters, Jiafu only opened and read one and couldn't stand it, his face was flushed with shame, and none of those exposed words did not humiliate his father's heart. At this time, looking at his daughter's panicked face, he imagined the scene when she was with the man, and his heart became more and more irritated.

"You say!" He slapped the table again.

He Tu trembled, raised his face full of tears, and said pitifully: "No, no ......"

"Nothing?" Jiafu stared at her intently.

"There is no such thing...... "Hetu bowed his head deeply. She was not used to lying, especially under her father's wrath, and that rare composure and calm had disappeared. She held on to a bit of luck, hoping that her parents were just hearsay, as long as she didn't admit it, no one would find the stone hammer, and the matter would pass slowly.

"Hetu." Cuiying got down from the kang and looked at her weakly, "Just tell the truth, you're going to your dad to death, aren't you?" ”

"I didn't ......," Hetu cried.

"No?" Jiafu's eyebrows were upside down, and he took the letters out of his pocket and slapped them on the table, pointing at them and saying, "No? ”

He Di froze as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water on his head. She looked at those letters in a daze, they were all written by Zhu Hai to her and when she couldn't meet Zhu Hai, she wrote to Zhu Hai to express her longing, I don't know how these letters were searched by her family. She clearly remembered that she had hidden them all well, how could someone find out?

"You still don't admit it?"

He Tu lowered her head, she looked at the brick floor blankly, feeling that there was a gloom in front of her, and the longing and expectation for the future had all disappeared without a trace. The room suddenly became deadly silent, and Jiafu was waiting for Hetu's explanation, and Hetu fell into a dazed mood and couldn't extricate himself. Suddenly, an emotion rushed up from the bottom of her heart, and she suddenly opened her mouth and said something that even she didn't expect to say.

"Yes, that's the case, but we like each other, so why can't we be together?"

Jiafu's face turned purple, and when Cuiying heard this, she hurriedly said, "You are still shameless for a girl to say such things?" Have you ever considered your dad? She stroked Jiafu's back and comforted, "Don't be angry, it's not cost-effective to be angry and break your body." ”

Jiafu held on to the table and took a few breaths before he said, "You really didn't see the signs before you?" I could have seen that kid dangling on our ground, but you were young at the time, and I didn't say anything because I thought nothing would happen. You still say that to me now, do you know what is going on in that kid's house? ”

"I know." The previous emotions became more and more intense, and it actually brought endless courage to Hedi. She stood up from the ground with her grip on the door frame, and said fiercely, "His family is a little poor, and our family is also poor, so there is nothing wrong with the door." I like him, I am willing to marry him, don't kiss me, I will follow him in this life! ”

Jiafu stared at him angrily, he looked at Hetu for a few seconds, and suddenly pointed to the broom standing at the door and shouted, "Bring it to me!" ”

"The child is ...... father" Cuiying was about to persuade with a bitter face, but was frightened away by Jiafu's fierce eyes. She hurriedly picked up the broom and handed it to him, and whispered, "You tap ......."

"I'll let you say that!" Jiafu raised the broom and hit Hetu like a storm. He gritted his teeth and did not move, as if the broom had not hit him. Jiafu gritted his teeth and said, "You know a fart! Your little ones will only be deceived! Do you know that kid is married? He already has a wife in town! ”

He Tu was suddenly stunned, she looked at her father blankly, and muttered, "Dad, what did you say?" ”

Jiafu stopped and began to gasp again.

"You are still married to him, you are still with him for the rest of your life, are you going to be his little wife with him? Do you want to be shameless? If you don't have a face, I still have a face! When this news gets out, how else do I behave in the village? Jiafu said, turning his head with an ugly face, he didn't want to see Hedi's face at all.

Hetu's head hung down, and the fierce emotions were instantly evaporated, as if she hadn't reacted, and her mind only echoed what her father had said over and over again, but she didn't understand what he meant at all.

"You don't go out these days! Don't go anywhere! Jiafu turned his head and said to Cuiying again, "Look at her!" ”

"Got it." The emerald shadow is here. Jiafu threw down the broom and walked out the door, Cuiying sighed, helped Hetu to sit down on the stool, and muttered, "You said you did such a thing." That kid is bad, he's lying to you, what can you know about a little girl......"

She didn't listen to her mother's nagging words, her mind was full of her father's words, and she was trying to understand his words, but her brain seemed to be broken all at once, and she couldn't understand even those few simple words. She was tired, she felt really tired, she gave up understanding what her father said, and instead remembered Zhu Hailai. His youthful and handsome face, his pleasant smell, and his handwritten handwriting was extremely beautiful. Suddenly, she seemed to be able to understand what her father said all of a sudden, and she felt a dull pain in her heart, and she could barely straighten up in pain, lying on the table and panting.

Frightened by her reaction, Cuiying hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" Girl? Yes? ”

He did not answer. Her hand touched the hard pieces of paper, which were the letters written by Zhu Hai to her and the letters she wrote to Zhu Hai, she gasped for breath, stood up from the stool with support, and ran out with the pile of letters in her arms.

"Ouch, where are you going!" Emerald Shadow chased after her, but couldn't catch up with her.

He ran to the kitchen and opened the stove door, the firewood inside had not been completely extinguished, and there were faint sparks on it. She shoved the pile of letters into it, regardless of whether it could be picked up or not. Then she sat down on the ground, unable to move her body anymore, staring blankly at the blocked stove door.

"Mom, why is she ......?"

Hedi heard Herui's voice, and Cuiying's voice answering. But their voices were so far away, as if they were separated by mountains and seas. She didn't know how long she had been sitting on the ground, she didn't know when she stood up, when she got on the kang, when she was covered with a quilt. The poplar tree outside the window was still swaying, and the cool air of the night broke into the house and roamed her face.

"What's going on?" He took a hook and dug the pile of letters out of the door of the stove, lit them, and burned them in the iron basin. She turned her head to look at Hetu, who was sleeping on the kang in the inner room, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and quickly returned to her original expression, turning her head and shouting Cuiying, "Mom? ”

As if awakened, Cuiying looked up at her and scolded, "You don't understand the children, don't ask so much." ”

"I'm not too small." Herui pursed her lips as she pulled the half-lit paper in the iron basin and muttered, "It will be older in a few years." ”

"Well, you're right." Cui Ying said thoughtfully, "It's too big, it's time to say goodbye early, I don't know what to do when I leave it at home every day." She sighed and got up from the stool, "You have been staring at your sister for the past few days, don't let her go out and run around, especially on the field in the back, tell me immediately when you see that man." ”

"Got it." Herui absent-mindedly should arrive. She stood up and closed the kitchen door, and when the flames in the basin were completely extinguished, she turned off the kitchen light and lifted the curtain to enter the back room. He Tu was lying on the kang, staring at the shadows of the trees outside the window with his eyes wide open, his face was pale, but his lips were bruised and frightening.

"Are you alright?" He Rui sat on the kang and asked in a low voice.

He Tu didn't hear it, but slowly closed his eyes.

"Hmph." He Rui snorted coldly and wanted to say something sarcastic, but seeing that He Di's face was really ugly, he closed his mouth. She took off her shoes and put on the kang and lay down next to Hedi.

The room was plunged into darkness, with only a small dim glow of moonlight shining through the window.

I don't know how long it took, but Herui was about to fall asleep, and suddenly heard Hedi ask, "You searched for my letter, right?" ”

"Huh?" Herui woke up from her hazy sleepiness and looked at her with a puzzled face.

"You told your parents, right?"

He Rui finally reacted to what He Tu was asking. She smiled disappreciably and said, "What, you're not convinced? ”

"Convincing?" He sneered and turned over, "From now on, I will break up with you." ”
