Chapter 31 It is not beauty that is wrong
Mu Fan asked: "Why did the seniors blend in with the refugees, listening to the accents of the seniors, like southerners." ”
A trace of bitterness flashed on Wen Cheng's face, he rubbed his eyebrows, and said a little helplessly: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, you go out to practice, it's right to be careful." ”
There was always a sadness in his tone, and he didn't know what he had gone through, so that he could fall into sorrow and be unable to extricate himself.
Wen Cheng put away the helplessness just now, pointed to the direction where the lewd man left just now, and said: "That group of people will not give up, and you will teach them a lesson when the time comes." ”
Song Changgeng asked: "The seniors are strong, why don't you do it yourself?"
Wen Cheng shook his head and said, "Use a cattle slaughtering knife to kill chickens, you just need to make a move." ”
San'er nodded, guessing that he must have had a last resort. A person like him, who is surrounded by pain, must not have an easy life in this world.
San'er said to Mu Fan: "It's almost dinner time, let's prepare some food." ”
Mu Fan said, "I'll go hunting." ”
Wen Cheng shook his head at Mu Fan and motioned for him to sit opposite. After Mu Fan sat down, he took out a small bag of moldy noodles from his arms and said, "This place is too far away from the place where you can hunt, and it takes too much time to go back and forth." If you want to hide your strength, you should obediently eat these moldy noodles. ”
Mu Fan didn't care, he knew that Song Changgeng had a hard life before, and he would not have any resistance to these moldy noodles. I just don't know if these two girls can eat it.
Sang Er saw Mu Fan's gaze and hurriedly said, "It's not a big deal, I just want to experience it." ”
"I'm okay too. Qinglan said.
Wen Cheng smiled slightly and said, "There is only one handful per person, save some food." ”
The four of them each grabbed a small handful of noodles, simply roasted them over the fire, and ate them without a bite.
There were also other people gathered around the campfire, some of them hungry, some of them digging up wild grass and vegetables for food to feed their hunger. Some people lay on the ground, not knowing whether they were asleep or starving.
During the meal, there was not much to talk to. Where are the people who can't fill their stomachs in the mood to speak? Every homeless person is silent, and they are powerless to fight back in the face of fate.
Wen Cheng broke the silence, he sighed, and said: "There has been a truce in the past few years, and I thought that the common people could have a good life. It's just wishful thinking. ”
"Don't say that, beware of the soldiers arresting you. The aunt who advised Mu Fan before said.
Sang Er asked, "Why is Auntie alone and living here?"
The aunt said with a painful face: "The house has been flooded. ”
Sang Er saw that the aunt was always alone, her face was so ugly at this time, and she said in her heart: "I'm afraid that the aunt's children have not survived, I really shouldn't have uncovered her scars." ”
Sang'er apologized again and again, and the aunt said: "I'm already old, and it's not interesting to stay in this world." But the girl is still young and so beautiful, and it is really pitiful to be displaced into the refugees. “
Mu Fan listened quietly, took a bite of moldy noodles, and drank two more sips of water. The kettle is repentant, and it is rare to have a good utensil.
The aunt said again: "If you see a man, sell yourself." Sell it to the eunuch's house as much as possible, even if it is to be a concubine or a maid for others, it is much better than now. ”
Sang Er felt the concern and heaviness in her aunt's words, she held her aunt's hand and said seriously: "Thank you for your concern, I will definitely take care of myself." ”
The aunt was still not at ease, and sighed: "You are a girl, how can you take care of yourself." If you let others see that you are so beautiful, you will inevitably have to think crookedly. ”
Sang'er touched her face and said, "I used to think that beauty was cherished, but I didn't expect that beauty would also become a sin. ”
The aunt said gently: "People like us don't deserve to have beautiful looks. This is not a gift from God, but a punishment from God. ”
Auntie's words deeply touched Mu Fan, and he said in a deep voice: "It's not beauty that's wrong, it's this chaotic world." ”
San'er looked at Mu Fan, and the light of the bonfire shone on his face. A breeze blew, the campfire swayed, and his face was cloudy.
The aunt looked at Sang Er, and then at Mu Fan, and her heart suddenly became clear. She was from the past, and of course she understood what Sang'er's eyes meant. Even if there is no love, there is a bit of affection. Out of love for this beautiful and kind girl, she beckoned to Mu Fan.
Mu Fan moved his butt a few times and went to his aunt's side. He asked curiously, "Is there anything wrong with Auntie?"
The aunt grabbed Mu Fan's hand with her left hand and Sang'er's hand with her right hand. She put the hands of the two young people together and said with a smile: "It's better to let the aunt make the decision and let you become husband and wife." In the future, it is good to have a response, so that Sang'er will not be bullied. ”
When Sang'er heard this, her cheeks immediately flushed. Even through the dirt that she deliberately touched, she could still see her shyness.
Mu Fan saw her red ears and hurriedly said, "It's still too early." ”
"Hey, it's not too early, when my child was your age, he gave birth to a big fat boy for me. The aunt smiled, a glint in her eyes.
Mu Fan looked at the light in his aunt's eyes, and he felt that it was not reflected by the firelight, but from the inside out.
The aunt's smile suddenly condensed, as if she had thought of something sad. The light in her eyes vanished, replaced by a gloom.
Seeing the gloom in her aunt's eyes, Sang'er held her hand and said with a smile, "It's really not early." Then she turned her face again, looked at Mu Fan, and asked, "What do you say?" ”
Sang Er winked at Mu Fan, Mu Fan understood what she meant, and nodded and said, "I just thought about it, I'm almost eighteen years old, and it's really not small." ”
The aunt said: "I don't have any thoughts in my life, but I didn't expect to meet such a well-behaved girl before I died." ”
A hint of rosiness appeared on her rough cheeks, and she said to everyone with a smile: "God has given me another thought, you say, are they a match made in heaven?"
Everyone was watching quietly, but when they heard it, they all coaxed: "Yes, the golden boy and the girl ......."
Qing Lan saw that everyone was coaxing, and she was secretly anxious. She walked up to Sang'er and whispered, "I have something to say to you alone." ”
Sang'er got up and walked to the side with Qinglan.
Qinglan said anxiously: "Don't forget your identity, if you let Madam know, we really don't want to come out again in the future." ”
Sang'er said: "I'm just coaxing my aunt to be happy, and I believe that my father will definitely support me." ”
Qing Lan tugged at her hair sadly, and hurriedly said: "This is a lifetime thing, you act so recklessly, you will ruin the innocence of your daughter's family." ”
Sang Er rolled her eyes and said, "My mother was much bolder than me back then, she can travel thousands of miles for a person, why can't I make a private decision for life." ”
Qing Lan pinched her sword finger and said, "Then Miss will not blame me for being rude, and I must not let you continue to mess around like this." ”
Sang Er pinched his sword finger and quipped, "Have you ever beaten me?"
After finishing speaking, Sang'er sat back next to her aunt.
Some daughters have something on their minds, it's okay not to find out, but once they find out, they will be out of control.
Sang'er rarely saw men, and most of the people she saw were family members. In her best years, she met Mu Fan. At this moment, she even had the idea of telling him who she was.
But she was afraid, afraid that once she said who she was, he would disappear without a trace with this sweet feeling. She eventually backed down, and he and the feeling were the most precious things she'd gained during her time away from home.
There is a kind of love in the world, which is called the love of circumstances. Under certain conditions, under specific circumstances, love arises. Once a person leaves this environment, this kind of love will gradually fade.
In Qinglan's opinion, Sang'er should have been a phoenix in the nine heavens. Mu Fan is not an unlearned and unskilled person, he is capable and decisive in his work, and his achievements in the future will not be small. But they should be one day at a time, and impulsiveness will not end well.
Qinglan was slightly older than Sang'er, and she could see that Sang'er really had a good impression of Mu Fan. On the surface, it was an aunt's matchmaking, but in fact, it may not be Sang'er's impulse.
She was helpless against the young lady, so she could only stare at Mu Fan viciously.
Mu Fan noticed the unkindness of Qing Lan's gaze, and of course he knew what she meant. He looked at San'er and shook his head slightly. He also has a good impression of Sang'er, but men are naturally calmer than women in the face of love.
The two of them were difficult to ride a tiger, and they saw that the situation was about to suffer.
Song Changgeng hoped that Sang Er and Mu Fan could get together. He knew that Mu Fan had a cultivation force behind him, and felt that even if Sang'er had a noble status, Mu Fan might not be worthy of her.
Suddenly, Wen Cheng said: "Those ruffians are coming, it looks like they are coming to make trouble." ”
When Qinglan heard this, her heart was relieved. According to the progress of the situation just now, maybe everyone should coax Mu Fan and Sang Er to get married. What she feared didn't happen, even if dozens of ruffians came, it wasn't a problem for her.
The crowd gathered around the bonfire and did not disperse, and the aunt said, "The old man has lived this age, and he is not as good as a dog." If they dare to move Sang'er, I will fight with them. ”
Everyone was silent, and they didn't know who should respond: "These days have long been enough, and it is not enough for the government to oppress us." The little gangsters of Dog Day also want to bully us, so it's a big deal to fight with them. ”
The long-term depression has been holding back in their hearts, but no one has taken the lead. When a leader appears, the grievances in their hearts will be ignited. And then it spread like a powder keg that exploded.
It didn't take long for forty or fifty refugees around the campfire to pick up the guys. People have a herd mentality, and when everyone around them is excited, in such an environment, they will involuntarily become excited.
So some of the refugees took sticks, some took stones, and some even took burning sticks from the campfire.
Seeing this scene, Wen Cheng couldn't help but smile. Seeing the high-pitched fighting spirit of this group of people, he thought of his past. He stood up, picked up a stick, and stood in the crowd.
When thirty or forty thugs came over, they saw refugees with nowhere to vent their anger.
Many of these refugees have been bullied by thugs, and they are eager to be beaten up at this time to repay the pain of being oppressed these days.
When the leader of the gangsters saw that the situation was wrong, he immediately turned his head to the lewd man and said, "You say, where is the person who bullied you?"
When the lewd man saw the battle of the refugees, and saw the leader Mu Fan and the others, his body shivered involuntarily.
He bowed his head and said, "It doesn't seem to be in this place, I should have misremembered the location." ”
The boss let out an "oh", beckoned to the younger brother, and said, "Since the location is wrong, let's look for it in another place." ”
As he spoke, he was about to take the group away, oblivious to the fact that more refugees had gathered around him. These refugees were fed up with their humiliation, and when they saw that someone on Mu Fan's side was taking the lead, they immediately gathered together.
I don't know who shouted in the crowd: "Fuck it, I've had enough." ”
I don't know who rushed first, but the battle broke out. From hundreds of refugees to dozens of thugs, it was a spectacular sight.
Mu Fan looked at this scene, his brain was confused, and the whole person was stunned and motionless. These refugees, who are usually weak and can be bullied, burst out with such courage at this moment.
He saw with his own eyes the thugs who were flying and domineering during the day, and at this moment he was so frightened that he fell to the ground, and he didn't have the courage to fight back at all. Usually they dare to fight fiercely, but now they are like rats crossing the street.
Human anger can be suppressed by reason, but when anger is ignited, or reason is insufficient. The anger that is unleashed often surprises oneself.
They are all conscientious people all their lives, and they have endured it all their lives, and at this moment they finally no longer restrain their anger. As if they were crazy, they hit the thugs with sticks and stones on their bodies and even their heads.
Blood was running down the ground, and no one cared about being covered in blood.
Mu Fan slapped his face hard, and he tried to move his pace. At this moment, he seemed to understand something?
