The third grandmother listened to my unintentional words, and thought for a few seconds, "Don't say it, otherwise we will find another man for Widow He!" ”

"Looking for another one? Can the head of Sheung Shui Village agree? "I'm a little skeptical.

"What if he doesn't agree, I don't think he has any other ideas!" The third grandmother said to me.

"Actually, I always think that the village chief of Sheung Shui Village asked us to find a piece of water is fake, and it is true that he wants to restrict our water use through this matter! After all, everyone knows that the amount of water in the spring in Shangshui Village is indeed too small, and the villagers in Shangshui Village are a little nervous about using it. "I spoke my mind.

"Yes, you're right, nervousness is nervousness, but if you want to waste water, it's not too much, but if you save a little, you can use it for more people! Sheung Shui Village has the consideration of Sheung Shui Village, and he wants to make the water use in our village yellow through this matter, but I don't want them to be satisfied! ”

"Well, yes, the issue of draft must not be compromised!"

"Therefore, as long as we find someone to replace Yishui, they are no longer willing to do so, and they can't make any sense. If we can add another one to them, it won't be a broken promise. ”

Actually, from the perspective of the third grandmother, I fully understand her thoughts, not to mention that I don't know where Yishui is now, even if I can get him back, the third grandmother will not let him go back to the village, the Qian family is eyeing each other, just waiting for revenge, if Yishui really comes back, they must not be dismantled.

"But where can I find this man?"

The third grandmother and I both know that it is really difficult to find a substitute man.

"There are two problems here," I said to the third grandmother, "if the village chief of Shangcun Village agrees to look for him again, I am afraid that he must have been born on July 15, and the young man born on this day may not be so easy to find. ”

"You have a point, but we only have one way to go, so I'm going to discuss with Murakami in Shangshui Village, if he agrees, even if we dig a door and steal a hole, we have to make up for someone."

"But even if you find such a man, if he doesn't agree, how can you convince people?" I'm still a little worried.

"If I find such a young man, even if I take my family, I have to do this thing, but if I can't do it, I will gather all the heads and faces in the village together, anyway, this matter has something to do with everyone, and everyone has to do it." The third grandmother's tone was firm.

"Uh-huh! You're right! "I know the ability of the third grandmother very well, as a woman, I have been the village chief for so many years in a village where men are inferior to women, and my courage is obvious.

After the third grandmother said this, she got up and left, this matter cannot be delayed, the water tanks of every family in Half-Life Village have bottomed out, and it is absolutely impossible to drag it out.

After the third grandmother left, my mother said to me, "Qian Dazhuang was buried this morning!" ”

Isn't it, it's the third day since Qian Dazhuang hanged himself, "Hehe, that brute, it's more than innocent to die!" I sneered, "By the way, the Qian family didn't come to find fault yesterday!" ”

The mother shook her head, "No, this happened, where are they still in this mood?" Alas! I don't know what happened to that kid in Yishui! Mother sighed.

"No matter what, it's better to go out than to stay in the village!"

"This kid's life is too hard! When his mother was alive, she suffered a lot, but in his life, it might as well be—" Mother didn't continue.

I know what my mother wants to say, she thinks that the fate of Yishui is even more miserable than his mother, in fact, in my heart, my mother's fate is not like this, the person I like is an uncle, but I married my father, compared to Yishui Niang, this compromised relationship is more worthy of sympathy.

Thinking of this, I hugged her, "Mother, I have no interest, and I have never let you enjoy happiness when I grow up, if in the future, if I have a future, I will definitely let you live a good life!" ”

Maybe I didn't expect me to say such a thing, my mother was stunned for a moment, and then touched my head and said with tears in her eyes, "My mother knows, my mother knows!" ”

I got up and went into the east house, my father was lying on the kang, there was still no breath, the lamp twist left by Grandpa Sun flickered on and off, and I don't know how long Grandpa Sun made a long lamp twist for Dad to last.

Grandpa Sun was in a coma because of the water control, and he said that it was limited to one week, so today would be the last day.

If Grandpa Sun really wakes up tomorrow, then everything will be easy, I will set off with Grandpa Sun to Luomen Town, if he doesn't wake up, I really don't know what to do.

I wanted to go to see Grandpa Sun, but the third grandmother said that Grandpa Sun should not be disturbed, and he didn't tell me where Grandpa Sun was, I just wanted to find him, and I didn't know where to look for him.

After I was separated from Grandpa Sun, what happened, whether he was taken away by the people of the official gate, if he was really taken away by the people of the official gate, then how did he escape, and why he was able to appear in the village of Half Life at this time, it is all a mystery to me!

However, before these mysteries were solved, he fainted, and if it wasn't for the fact that he was too anxious about the water control, I would have rushed forward to ask what was going on.

And the weird dream last night, what exactly did it want to tell me, I know very well in my heart, the black cat is the one who helps that woman to hold the dream, because the black cat has done this kind of thing twice, the first time is the spring dream that cured my incontinence problem, the second time is yesterday, sadly, yesterday's dream made me even more confused.

Alas! Don't think about it so much, time in the village is running out, and now you can only do what you can.

I took the two wooden carvings of his father and mother left for me, walked into the old yard of his house, cleaned it inside and out, and felt very sad, if I also left, I really don't know who else can come to this old yard.

Yishui left, he didn't leave me a word, not even a word of blame, the more he was like this, the more uncomfortable I felt in my heart, I would rather he run in front of me and beat me, even if it was to break off relations, I owe Yishui too much in my life.

After cleaning the house, I sat in the yard and rested for a while, this yard has carried too many tragedies, the tragedy of Yishui Niang, the tragedy of Yishui, the tragedy of Xiaoxia, these tragedies are like nightmares, breaking Yishui's heart.

The shaman told me that if I find this person carved on the wood, I will give it to her if I am alive, and if I am dead, I will burn the woodcarving to her, and I will fulfill my promise.

In the afternoon, I went to the grave of a water lady, compared to the tomb of those big doors, this lonely grave seems to be particularly deserted, the grave is full of wild grass, but the grave is filled with a few handfuls of fresh loess, I understand, before a water left, I came to see his mother.

The green smoke from the burning of the two piles of wood rose faintly, gradually melting into one place, looking at the light green smoke, I was a little relieved, maybe this is the wish of the shaman before his death, since they can't be together in life, then they must not be separated after death.

I didn't dare to stay in the tomb for long, and I came back from the tomb while it was still dawn, if it was dark, the blood jade on my body would attract resentful ghosts again, but it would not be easy to do.

After returning home, the third grandmother waited for me in the house and said to me, "Talk to the village chief of Shangshui Village, if we find another rich man, they will let us use water." ”

"I didn't expect their village chief to agree so quickly!"

"How to say that it has been a friend for so many years, and I also had a showdown with them, so I said that we can't find a man to marry a widow as soon as possible, if we can't find it again, we will admit it if we don't let us use water!"

"Then we have to hurry up and find the man born on July 15!"

"Yes, here's the problem, when I came back from Sheung Shui Village, I sent someone to inquire, and there are really no men born on July 15 in ten miles and eight villages." The third grandmother looked embarrassed.

"Is that the village chief of Shangshui Village has already inquired, and there is no such man around, so he dares to agree to your idea, he thinks that it is impossible for you to do this, so it is impossible to grab water from them again."

"I guess so!" The third grandmother also looked helpless.

"I know who was born on July 15." My mother didn't know when she was standing at the door.
