Chapter 10 Poor Mountains and Bad Waters

The shriveled stall owner sighed: "In those years, if you offend the village chief of Long, you will also offend the entire village. Coupled with the death of the head of the Mu family, Village Chief Long always said that the mother of the Mu family did it, which made the mother of the Mu family a rake for everyone in the village, and all she saw was white eyes, and she was almost drowned by spittle. She has a hard temperament, what distress and grievances are she supporting, desperately protecting her daughter, letting her concentrate on reading and painting. She went to the ravine to open up wasteland, planted vegetables in front of the house and behind the house, picked wild fruits on the cliff, fed pigs and chickens and sold them for money, and tried every means to provide for her daughter's schooling. Mu Tongtong was sixteen years old that year, and there was still a year to finish high school, and the Mu family's housewife couldn't afford it, so she went down to ask Yue Laotian in desperation.

Yue Laotian, who served the iron rice bowl, was already different from the past, and he didn't have the heart to take care of this old woman. But the Mu family's housewife was followed by her beautiful daughter. His son Yue Moye took a fancy to it at a glance. In addition, the housemother of the Mu family brought out the matter of Dingdo's relatives again, and at that time, Yue Moye had not yet contacted the overseas relationship, because he was idle, and he was almost thirty years old and had no partner, so he begged his father to help them. Since her son is satisfied, and Mu Tongtong is a girl who is not one in a hundred, the Yue family and the Mu family's housemother are officially engaged to their children. The Yue family gave a considerable deposit and bride price. To be honest, Mu Tongtong finished his last year of high school with this money. In addition, Yue Moye intended to be close to her, and he also spent a lot of money on her until she was admitted to university. In the next few years, it was the Mu family's housewife who fought with the father and son of the Yue family, and it was more fierce than fighting with the head of Long Village. The two families are in a fight to the death, with a bite of blood. Alas, after all, they still couldn't fight these men, first forced the nanny to death, and then forced the Mu family's housewife to death, and even burned the house. No one could have imagined that it would be so miserable! Ugh—"

"How did the nanny die?" I couldn't help but ask.

“…… Before dinner that day, a group of children were having fun pretending to be dragon kings in the threshing floor. At a glance, I caught a glimpse of the nanny passing by carrying a soy sauce bottle, and at that time, the nanny was running errands for something in the Mu house. Somehow, the fight started, and several adults were also involved, and when the mother of the Mu family arrived at the scene, the nanny saw that she was covered in bruises and was dying. The mother of the Mu family didn't say anything, and went back to the Mu house with the nanny. This night, the wailing of the nanny floated in Longtan Ancient Village, and the sound seemed to ring in everyone's ears...... ”

The man stopped at this point. He said that the sun was about to set, and it looked like he was going to give an eviction order.

When I said goodbye to the old woman, I found her sitting there in a daze, inhaling a long breath! A hand dangled in front of his eyes. I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the eldest sister?" "

The old woman said, "The aroma - I smell it - a fragrance, so fragrant!" "

I inhaled hard, and I couldn't smell anything but the stench of the tide.

The shriveled stall owner looked at me: "Do you smell it?" "

I sniffed vigorously and shook my head: "Nothing?" "

The old woman said, "Why can't you smell it?" Is it the aroma of the Mu family's meat, haven't you two smelled it one by one? The room was full of them. I haven't smelled it in a long time. Maybe we talked about Mu Tongtong and let Mu Tongtong know, it must be Mu Tongtong who is back. Don't be afraid, Mu Tongtong has eaten my milk, she won't harm my blind old woman......"

The more we listened, the more I felt a chill down my spine and my hair stood on end, so I hurriedly left the money and ran out of her room......

In the evening, when every house in the village was smoky, he saw Long Sihai coming down from the mountain with a bundle of firewood on his back—his whole body twisting with difficulty. I hurriedly ran over and unloaded his bundle of firewood and carried it to his yard. He pulled out his arm in embarrassment.

Long Sihai looked at me and said, "Thank you." You're like her. "

I asked, "Mu Tongtong?" "

Long Sihai nodded: "She is a good person, those people will not be harmed by her." With that, he raised his eyes and looked over the courtyard wall to look at the cliff in the distance.

On the western cliff there were several large trees, their branches curled and hideous, and on them hung something messily, fragmented, like pieces of cloth torn from clothes, silhouetted against the gray sky. I saw not far away on the hillside, and the fool was still sitting there as he had been yesterday, with the old woman with the gray hair. The old woman raised her hand again and waved it in this direction......

Long Sihai said: "I think that the people in the long village chief's house died very miserably, the corpses were hung on those trees, and no one dared to take them down for more than a month. Saying that, he shook his head with palpitations: "Others say that Mu Tongtong was harmed, because it was Village Chief Long who led people to dig the graves of Mu Tongtong and her mother, so he will have retribution." I don't believe it's her. "

At this time, we saw the shriveled stall owner approaching from a distance.

Long Sihai said: "Don't believe the surname Long, he is no different from the village chief of Lao Long, and the people of the Long family are not good things." Don't take anything this bastard says. "I think, aren't you also from the Long family?

When the shriveled stall owner walked up, Long Sihai had already turned around and entered the house, he tilted his head and glanced into the house, and said to the two of us: "I've been looking for you for a long time, and I'll have dinner at the old woman's house tonight." "This deferential attitude makes me secretly complain, I don't have much money.

The blind old woman fumbled around and put a large pot lid on a square stool, which was a makeshift dining table.

She was embarrassed to say that there were no guests in the room, and she had never used the dining table. The shriveled stall owner brought a large stack of corn tortillas, a bowl of steamed porridge per person, a bowl of steamed vegetables and a bowl of scrambled eggs with toon on the lid of the pot in the middle. The shriveled stall owner accompanied the two of us to eat, saying that it would be good enough in the mountains in the early years. The villagers are usually willing to eat eggs, and they all get the village takeaway money to pay the tuition fees of the criminals! “

After eating, the shriveled stall owner wiped his mouth and said, "You two are chatting here, I left a little beforehand." "

I said it's okay, uncle, go ahead. The shriveled stall owner couldn't leave, and he vomited. "Alas, I'm addicted to smoking, and I want to go outside the village to buy a few packs of cigarettes, but I forgot to bring the money with me......," I hurriedly took out a hundred yuan, and he took it and nodded repeatedly. The blind woman suddenly pouted and said, I know what are you doing? Find that! I saw the shriveled stall owner quietly pinch her, and said don't talk nonsense, I really have something, I'll come back to you later. The blind woman said that you have your business, and I also have my business, don't come here after a while, I still have to do family work.

After the shriveled stall owner left, I asked the remnants of the willows: "I asked about the Mu family's housewife, and the shriveled stall owner said a lot, why didn't he tell us the ending?" Did he have any conflicts with the Mu family's housewife before? "

"There is, how old is the mother of the Mu family, how old is the surname Long, he was still young at that time, and there will be no contradiction with the mother of the Mu family. It's that he is about the same age as Mu Tongtong, and some people say that he liked Mu Tongtong when he was a child, and that was before I married here. It is said that boys his age in the village like Mu Tongtong. "

"What do you think of the dead people in the village in the past twenty years?"

"I can't tell. Anyway, people keep dying, and I don't know who killed them, no one has seen it with their own eyes, they are all guesses, saying that the Mu family's housewife and her daughter came back to seduce the soul, is it possible? "

I remembered the purpose: "Is there such a thing as saying that the villagers have dug up the graves of the mother and son?" "

"Not really. Some people say that her mother and son were buried in the place of Shanyin, and the ghost did not go away, so they turned into ghosts and came back to find trouble. The people in the village were afraid, and the old village chief took them to dig up the grave. "

"Are those who died all the enemies of the Mu family's housewife in the past?"

"Not all, right? There are also people who have nothing to do with her. I don't think it's her mother's business, and it's not some god's business. It may be a big snake, a big snake that eats people's essence, and comes to the village to eat people. You think that apart from the snake, who has the strength to kill a man in the water? "

At this time, the old woman suddenly stopped talking and listened quietly. There was a knocking sound outside the window, and a trace of fear passed over the blind woman's face: "You have to go, I'm used to living alone at night, I used to be scared, but now I'm afraid of someone to accompany me!" "

Saying the upside-down words, the blind woman was impatient to blast us over. We met the old woman on the road. The old woman led the fool's clothes by the corner, carrying a bundle of firewood from the east side of the village to the northwest corner, her steps were light and powerful, saying that it was an old woman, but in fact the charm still existed, if it were not for the white hair, from the back it looked like a young man. I wanted to help her carry it, but the old woman said no, maybe you don't have the strength I have. I asked her how old she was. Why don't you let your man carry it? I was shocked when the woman said I was twenty-eight years old, and according to that, she was a minor when she was trafficked.

The woman smiled bitterly and said that she was young and ignorant and fell into the fire pit, and she didn't have the face to go back for so many years, although it was not bad to marry a fool, at least the fool is not like the people in the village who will beat his wife three times a day, but he is very lonely without children and daughters, she said, "The people in the village call me cuckoo, which means the kind of cuckoo bird, and it is always the kind that is called "it is better to go back".

I asked if we could go to your house and sit down? The woman cuckoo said that it was rare for someone to look at me, and that was really good. Someone finally spoke to me and listened to me.

"Eldest sister, do you know what happened to the Mu family's housewife earlier?" I asked.

"Everyone in the village knows that the last man I was a neighbor with her, and she used to live in the west."

The woman cuckoo led us west, and outside the village, the terrain was getting higher and higher, and in the distance there were sparse houses on the hillside, surrounded by unkempt trees and weeds. Rocks arch out of the ground in front of and behind the house, blocking the road and the view. As we walked around the stones, we saw a patch of wild vines in front of us, tall and dense, as far as the eye could see, and the houses were all covered. The woman muttered as she walked, when she first built the house, the wild vines were not so deep, they were all getting taller and taller over the years, as if they were crazy. Soon walked to the front of his house, Du Juan said that the Mu family's housemother used to live in front, and her house had already collapsed.

The cuckoo's house is a low thatched house made of stone. After entering the house, she lit the oil lamp, and I was surprised by the light of the beans, and she said "Do you think a fool can afford electricity?" Under the lamp, I noticed that this woman seemed to be a very young and gorgeous woman, or rather, at the age of twenty-eight, she was still a very beautiful woman, and she could still find the unique charm of a woman on her face with heavy makeup. Although she has experienced vicissitudes, her body is so mature and meets the standard of human beauty, and almost every cell exudes extreme temptation to the opposite sex.

The whole impression she gives is so peculiar that I can only describe her as a "female person", because her appearance, her posture, her expression, everywhere show that she is a female creature, waiting for a male animal to act on her.

Her tattered clothes now look exposed, and naturally every temptation point of her delicate jade body is clearly expressed. She sat on a three-legged tattered chair in an extremely rough manner, and saw me and Long Sihai, but rolled her big eyes, and did not make any other movements. I suddenly remembered the shriveled stall owner's desperate look, and I thought I knew what the cuckoo was holding up the family for.

I stayed for a very short time, and then I looked at Long Sihai, only to see Long Sihai looking at her...... The fool next to him, love and pity, naturally revealed, he said: "It's been so long, you've been waiting for it, right? "

The fool laughed, and the two looked familiar, and the woman replied with a "hum" from her nostrils. Changing her sitting position but being even more brutal proves that she is by no means a cultured person. I also looked directly at the fool, and he didn't react,

Long Sihai didn't think it was wrong, turned his head, and suddenly said to me in English: "Everything about fools, I will tell you slowly. I was amazed that he understood English, and replied in English: "If you don't want to say it, you don't have to." "The scene in front of me, Long Sihai just doesn't say it, I can also know what happened.

It's very simple, Long Sihai needs a spice in life, and the beauty of the cuckoo can make him feel happy physiologically, so a wonderful union is formed. The famous martial artist Gu Long, in him, once had such a sentence: "An old man full of wisdom and a lot of wealth will be fascinated by a woman like an idiot." "People are always human beings, with innate demands, when this kind of primitive demands can only be vented in a primitive situation, the relationship between Long Sihai and the cuckoo is a natural thing. I don't know whether to tolerate or despise them.

When we were talking in English, the cuckoo's eyes lit up with dissatisfaction, and I hurriedly said, "Mr. Long said to me, tell me about you slowly, I said I was not interested. The cuckoo suddenly said, "Are you a good friend?" "The language she used was very jerky, I guess it was because she used to speak her native dialect, and the average local person didn't have to talk to her.

I nodded, "Yes." "

The cuckoo stood up, and the allure that emanated from her was even stronger. I took a breath, and Long Sihai said sadly: "Du Juan, she is really a beauty, isn't she?" But we're not the relationship you think. "

I nodded, but I didn't agree with Long Sihai's words, although there are many kinds of beauties, she is definitely one of them, anyone can not like her, but this cannot be denied.

Long Sihai said to the cuckoo again: "Let's talk first, and then we'll see your husband later." At the mention of "husband," the cuckoo's demeanor changed greatly, and the look of challenge with arrows and arrows was much more restrained, and she murmured, "My husband is not a fool. "

Long Sihai hurriedly said: "Yes, I just know that your husband is not a fool, so I invited Miss Shen over, Miss Shen is a foreigner and has no prejudices, and she will definitely be able to figure things out." When the cuckoo heard this, he looked at me very seriously for a while, and in his eyes, there was a minute or two in the twenty-four hours of the day, and there was no sexual call to the opposite sex. It can be seen from this that her husband occupies a very important position in her life.

She may have been young and ignorant, but after going through hardships, she must be an extremely smart person, because she actually understood my mind in my expression, she said: "Miss Shen, my husband and I are a husband and wife in distress, he rescued me from the pile of beasts, if you can help him, I am grateful!" These few words, as normal, Long Sihai immediately showed a look of surprise...... I don't know how long Long Sihai has known her, but I can be sure that this is the first time Long Sihai has heard her speak normally, and there is not a dirty word mixed in his words.

I also replied seriously: "I will do my best...... You know...... What was your husband's experience in the past? It is said that he used to be a college student, although he did not live much, is it recorded in many books? “

Du Juan said calmly: "I came out to work early, and I know too few words, no more than a hundred, and I can't read books." I let out an "oh" and didn't ask any more, I am no longer a little girl who does not eat minced meat, I have heard from the Shiling people, in the big city, there are thousands of young girls like the cuckoo, and the only thing that makes the cuckoo different is that she has such a seductive appearance. The stories of these homeless people are all similar and do not need to be described in detail. Moralists or sociologists may pity others, sympathize with them, and say they are pitiful, but they have their own way of life and philosophy, and they do not necessarily need cheap sympathy, but only demand equal treatment.

I took a breath: "It doesn't matter, in short, with me and Mr. Long, things are always easy to do." The cuckoo glanced at Long Sihai, a thousand words, all in words, it was a natural * into the bone, which really made people sigh at the powerful effect of women's primitive power on men. But I didn't see the appearance of Long Sihai like drinking mellow, it's strange!

Long Sihai sat down, and the cuckoo sat unscrupulously in the arms of her foolish husband, took the tattered wine bottle, drank it to the bottle, and poured it for her husband as if no one was around. The foolish husband looked a little embarrassed because he was by my side, but he didn't mean to refuse at all.

I don't want to interfere with their show of affection, but there are some things that must be clarified first, in order to inquire about Mu Tongtong, so I curbly said to save the country: "About Du Juan's husband-"

Du Juan said, "My husband's name is Fifth Brother. I snorted: "Cuckoo, fifth brother, there should always be a title with a surname." Long Sihai's expression seemed to stop me from speaking, but it was too late. The cuckoo flicked and stood up—her youthful body, full of elasticity, after standing up. With his hands on his hips, his eyes were round, and he gritted his teeth and said: "No, my name is Du Juan, and my husband's name is Fifth Brother, this is our name." "
