I thought I misheard, "What? What do you say? ”

"I said there was a girl who jumped into the river!" The third grandmother repeated.

"What girl?" I don't know who the third grandmother is talking about, "Is it from our village?" ”

"It's not from our village." The third grandmother answered me.

"Oh!" I snorted, since it's not from our village, then I don't care, but the third grandmother said again, "You said that there is water to eat in this village, which is a great joy?" How can there be a girl who can't think of it! ”

The third grandmother actually mentioned the matter of water, and now our village and Sheung Shui Village have something to do with water, not our village, is it from Sheung Shui Village?

"Is it from Sheung Shui Village?" I asked.

"Well, this morning's thing!" The third grandmother responded.

Sure enough, it's from Sheung Shui Village, since it mentioned Sheung Shui Village, I'm a little curious, "From Sheung Shui Village?" Who jumped into the river? ”

"The person I sent to Sheung Shui Village to find you, came back and told me that a girl jumped into the river this morning!"

In fact, there is a girl who jumped into the river, and it has nothing to do with me, I don't know a few people in Sheung Shui Village at all, but I still asked, "Who jumped into the river?" ”

"It's your sister-in-law who follows Widow He in the round house, what's your name?" The third grandmother frowned.

She actually mentioned Widow He's sister-in-law, "He Xiaoman! I quickly answered.

"Yes, yes, that's what He Xiaoman is called!" The third grandmother patted her head.

I grabbed the third grandmother, "Is it really He Xiaoman?" Did you hear it right? ”

The third grandmother smiled, "Third grandmother, although I am old!" But this memory eye—"

"Then you don't know why she jumped into the river?" I hurriedly asked.

"It seems to have made the family retreat—"

"What? Jumped into the river because of his retirement? "I kind of don't trust my ears.

"Well, it is said that this girl is still a college student, and she looks good, and I don't know which young man is so ignorant!" The third grandmother sighed, it seems that she doesn't know what happened, and she doesn't know that I am the one who doesn't know how to lift.

"Is she okay then?" I asked anxiously.

"I don't know about this, anyway, I knew that I was rescued!"

I couldn't sit still anymore and jumped up from the kang with my ass!

"Why are you sitting up again?" The third grandmother looked confused.

"I'll talk to you later!"

I trotted all the way to the direction of Sheung Shui Village, and met more than a dozen blind dates who came back from carrying water from Sheung Shui Village, and everyone knew that I had made a contribution to the matter of the spring, and everyone wanted to say a few words to me, but how could I have time to chat with them.

I never dreamed that He Xiaoman would be able to jump into the river, could it really be that I hurt her? No, when I refused this marriage, He Xiaoman didn't react at all, and she personally mentioned it to the village chief, and the most nostalgic thing she did to me was at best when I left Sheung Shui Village, she ran to take the mountain bag and looked at me, but this was not at all worth her jumping into the river.

There must have been some other reason, I comforted myself like this while speeding up my pace, but fortunately I came out early, and when I arrived in Sheung Shui Village, it was just dark.

After passing by the spring, I suddenly became a hero in the eyes of the villagers of Sheung Shui Village, men, women and children all rushed to greet me, and almost took out their mobile phones to take pictures with me.

I didn't care too much, so I sent these people away along the way, and then I went to the village chief's house.

When the wife of the village chief saw me enter the courtyard, she turned back to the old village chief in the house and said, "A man is here!" The tone was a little cold.

"Hmm!" The old village chief didn't squeak and lit his cigarette pouch.

I can't just freeze like this, I have to speak first, "I, I'm here to see He Xiaoman, I heard that she-"

"If you don't marry her, what do you see her do?" The old village chief's anger has not yet subsided.

"Village chief, we talked about it, it was she who agreed to quit her family, and she told you about not marrying me, I really didn't know that such a thing could happen!" I hurriedly explained, obviously the old couple had already counted He Xiaoman's jumping into the river on my head.

"That child's mind is too heavy, too strong, when she came that day, I wondered in my heart, in fact, she likes you very much in her heart, why don't you say she won't marry you, it must be that you said in advance that you don't want to marry her, with her temperament, where is the begging person is a person, I'd rather bend over than bow down - alas!" The village elder's wife sighed.

I once again felt the complexity of women, it turned out that all the free and easy performance of He Xiaoman in front of me can only be summed up in four words, that is, "duplicity"!

"So is she awake or not?" I care about the effect, not the cause.

"Humph!" The village chief snorted a puff of smoke from his nose, "What can I do when I wake up?" Can you still marry her? ”

"Me, me!" was suddenly scolded back by the words of the village chief.

"If you don't care about her at all, don't come back, you come back, and you can't marry her, indecisive, is it a gentleman." The village chief looked down on me, he continued, "You are the benefactor of our Shangshui Village, if you change to someone else, everyone else will give you the body, I will carry it, and I have to send someone to carry you back, and escort you to marry, after all, you are kind to us, we are not good to treat you, so it is up to your temperament to come!" ”

The village chief is right, I can't refute it at all, don't say that he doesn't look down on me, even I look down on myself, what am I doing here, I almost took another life, what I care about now is whether He Xiaoman is awake or not, if it is really because I have three long and two short, then I have to hate myself for the rest of my life.

"Village chief, can you tell me if she's awake or not?" I asked anxiously.

"Then I'll ask you, if she wakes up, can you marry her!"

"I, I—" I didn't know what to say!

"Cheng, I'm telling you, she's not dead! You won't see her anymore, though. The village chief looked serious.

"Why? Is she gone? ”

"Since you don't marry her, why do you ask so much?"

The door of the inner room suddenly moved, and I suddenly had a strong feeling, could it be that He Xiaoman was inside? Then I had a conversation with the village chief, did she hear it clearly?

It turned out that when I first came in, the village elder's wife's sentence "A man is here!" "I didn't say it to the village chief, but I wanted to tell He Xiaoman in the back room.

Everyone in Sheung Shui Village knew me, and when I greeted the villagers, someone who was already quick to come to the village chief's house and report my arrival to the village chief.

I rushed over and tightened the handle of the door in the inner room, but the door was already locked inside, and I slammed the door hard, "He Xiaoman, you open the door, you listen to me!" ”

I heard sobbing, but the door still didn't open.

"He Xiaoman, it's not that I don't want to marry you, I am, I have a lot of things in me, I really can't marry you-" I don't know why I came up with such a reason.

The back room still didn't answer.

Seeing that there was no movement in the house, the village chief's wife took out something from the cabinet, "By the way, Xiaoman asked me to give you something!" ”

She handed me the things.

On a piece of white cloth, there was a red bloodstain, which I recognized as a sign of He Xiaoman's redness.

The blood stains have dried up, I hold this white cloth in my hand, not to mention how uncomfortable it is, since I don't want to marry someone, why do they have to see me?

"Alas! It's a pity! The village elder's wife sighed, "I finally met the man who cured her illness, but this is the result-"

In fact, I still have a lot to say in my heart, I want to tell her that she has studied outside, she shouldn't just stare at me, there will be many excellent men outside, and she will have a happy future-

However, I felt that I couldn't speak in a thousand words, so I could only say to the door, "Xiaoman, promise me, even if I beg you, don't do stupid things, live well!" ”

Choked voices rang out again in the room.

I stared blankly at the door of the back room, holding this piece of red white cloth in my hand, with mixed feelings, I hurt a woman again, He Xiaoman gave me her most precious thing, but I couldn't give her a promise, maybe we will never see each other again in this life, just like the last words she said to me, "There will be no time later"!
