The widow of the king is not surnamed Wang, but because the family he married is surnamed Wang, so he naturally calls her the widow Wang, but the villagers don't know where her surname comes from, because this is the daughter-in-law of the Wang family who married back from other places, and they only know about her good appearance, and they don't know anything else.

At that time, there was no man in the family, and the opportunity to live this day was just impossible. Because at that time and in the transition stage from feudalism to democracy, the thinking of male superiority and inferiority of women was still relatively deep-rooted, and the mother-in-law should take care of her husband and children at home to cook and wash clothes, and she had to go to the fields to farm if she had nothing to do at home, a bit like cheap labor.

Some people have been coveting this widow for several years, and now that the man of the Wang family is dead, there is such a little daughter-in-law left in the whole family. Don't look at the people who are widows, but it is difficult to find them in all ten miles and eight towns, but many men in the village who are busy with flowers and intestines are so busy that they don't do any work in their own fields, and they go to help the widow Wang do farm work and feed the cattle or something, but those mothers-in-law are angry, and they must have to chew their tongues behind their backs and say bad things about this widow of the king.

It is a little strange that since the death of the man, this widow has hardly spoken to anyone outside, and even when she goes out, she always carries a bamboo basket with a cloth lid on it, and walks in a hurry, not knowing what she is doing. But there are always idlers, who have nothing to do and look at this widow all day long, and there are several people who follow her wherever she goes. Gradually, they learned a rule, that is, the widow would go to her man's grave almost every few days, and every time she would use a bamboo basket to send something, and when she returned, it was obvious that the bamboo basket was lighter, and the contents were gone.

There was a man in the village named Leper, who was not a lazy man. But it's definitely not a good thing, he can be a little more chatty in the village at most, and he will be honest when he goes out. In fact, there are one or two babbling people everywhere, who always think they are powerful, but they don't know that if they provoke the anger of the public, they can make people shoot a live shovel to death. But such people usually don't live long. According to common sense, that is to create evil, and bullying people is a kind of evil, so those who die early, and those who die strangely.

The leper was almost forty years old but he was still a bachelor, and no one was willing to marry the girl to him, this person wanted money and nothing, and he had a bad temper, and often bullied his neighbors on blind dates, and his popularity was particularly bad. He who follows him will surely suffer. But the leper lives a chic life, and I don't see him do any serious business, the family's land has been barren for 800 years, and there is still a way to get money, there is good food and good drink all day long, and he often goes to the city to visit the kiln, and he lives more comfortably than anyone else.

It was almost noon that day, and the leper woke up almost naturally after sleeping. I turned over on the kang and scratched the itch on my body with my hand, and I felt that it was all scratched out of the dust. Thinking that I haven't taken a bath for more than half a month, I smell it. So I got up, planning to find a clean stream to take a bath, and take a torn towel or something to rub the ashes.

Lushi County is vast and sparsely populated, and there are many streams in the mountains, and the general villages are built along the river. It is built on the riverside, and usually washes clothes and everything to go to the big river, and there are often a lot of mothers-in-law who come to wash clothes on the bank. The leper didn't go to bathe in the river, because there were too many people on the bank, and the bare ass was a little embarrassing. A towel around his neck. After leaving the house and walking along the path, he saw a small stream in the village, the water could not reach his knees at most, the key is that the water here is very clean, you can see the stones at the bottom of the river and some small fish and shrimp swimming in it, and I want to go in and take a bath when I look at it. Seeing that there was no one around, the leper took off his clothes and pants, and jumped directly into the stream.

Even on that kind of hot day, the stream is always cold, sitting in the water with your hands to get water on your body, and then taking a towel to crush the ashes, washing is refreshing, suddenly there is a piece of clothing floating in front of you, the red one is a woman's belly pocket, washed down by the water from the upstream, just in front of the leper, he grabbed it. With a wicked smile on his belly pocket, he wondered whose mother-in-law was washing clothes on it, and accidentally let the water wash the belly pocket down, so he looked up in the direction of the upstream.

I don't know when there was another person in the upper reaches of the stream, and she could only be seen black from too far away, which was a bit strange, but it was impossible for this man to come and wash this thing, so that person must be a mother-in-law. The leper was also idle, so he held his belly pocket in one hand and covered his crotch with a towel in the other, and walked up directly against the current, slowly approaching the person who was still squatting by the stream to wash clothes.

The leper passed quietly, and wanted to scare the mother-in-law, but when he walked in, he was dumbfounded when he saw the woman's side face, isn't this the widow of the king in the village? The leper has seen the widow of the king a few times, and the small appearance of a special hookup person makes the leper feel itchy. This time he met in this unoccupied place, and the leper was about to lean over and talk, but he forgot that he was still taking a shower and had no clothes on, so he walked over and said, "Widow Wang? Why are you here with me? Brother, how about I give it to you? This opening is a witty remark with a flirtatious meaning, and if it is an ordinary mother-in-law, she will definitely blush and run away.

But the widow of the king, as if she had not heard, was still washing something in the river, and kept the bare-bottomed leper unmoved.

This leper feels strange, in this kind of place where there is no one nearby, the woman does not dare to come easily, let alone this widow who has no man in the family, then she must be afraid of meeting a person like a leper, then it will be unclear at that time. But how did this widow react like this? At all, she should have been unresponsive, could it be that this little widow is deaf and can't hear?

The more the leper thought about it, the more strange it became, so he slowly leaned over from behind barefoot, and when he gradually got closer, he raised some voices and shouted, "Hey! Widow of the King! What are you doing? You dropped something, I sent it to you! Ay? Can you hear me? But the widow still did not respond to the shouting so loudly, and still washed something in the stream in front of her, and occasionally she could see a few traces of red water from the stream, as if something had faded.

After shouting twice and seeing that the widow did not respond, the leper swallowed his spit, and slowly stretched out his arm to hit her on the shoulder. When he saw that his hands were about to touch the widow Wang, he suddenly heard the widow Wang say: "Why can't this skin be cleaned?" The leper was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then tilted his head and saw from the side that the widow Wang's hands were rubbing a human face in the stream. (To be continued......)
