292. 291.The Ups and Downs of the Ukiyo II
"We can't afford to raise ourselves now, let alone raise a fool? I think...... Sell that fool to human traffickers and get ......"
"Let's see......" said the old man on the bed, and then there was a loud snoring in the room.
At noon, the dilapidated Wujia Village suddenly became lively. There was a Taoist priest at the entrance of the village, with a navy blue robe, a goatee, and a thin body, which looked like a fairy wind and bones.
The silly girl squeezed into the crowd, looked at the Taoist priest, and smirked a few times. Then, ignoring the people, he walked out of the crowd on his own, holding the old rotten cloth ball in his arms, and muttering words in his mouth.
Hmph, I can't say a few words.
"Look, it's that fool......" Several children in tattered clothes gathered together at the entrance of the village, throwing stones at the stupid girl, making faces as they threw them, "Little fool, no one wants it, stinky woman...... Dirty...... Beggar ......"
The silly girl hugged the rotten cloth ball in her arms tightly, dodging "ahhhh
Suddenly, a bold child came, caught the gap of the foolish girl's dodge, pounced on it, pressed the foolish girl to the ground, snatched the cloth ball in her arms, and shook it as if showing off in his hand.
The stupid girl who fell to the ground had no time to pay attention to the dirt and dust on her face, and ran towards the child, and she cried out "ahhhh
The child holding the cloth ball kicked the black cloth ball that had long been unable to see the color to the opposite side like a kicking ball, and then was kicked to the opposite side by another child, like a solitaire, kicking around in the children's circle, and the silly girl in the circle seemed to be tireless, chasing the cloth ball "babbling" and running around, and the children who looked directly laughed happily.
"Little fool, here! Over here! ”
Knock -
The ball spun around in the air and kicked at the feet of the other child.
In this way, after more than a dozen rounds, the silly girl was so tired that she collapsed on the ground, her black eyes looked at the gray sky, and the cloth under the children's feet, and the tears from her eyes fell on the dirt ground with the saliva in her mouth.
"It's dirty, it's disgusting...... Clamour! Here you go! Rotten stuff! The boy threw the cloth ball on the ground where the silly aunt had fallen, and went away again to see the new Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest came, as if he wanted to do it, saying that he had to use the blood of the woman's virgin as an introduction to worship the gods, and the harvest in the village was not good, because he committed the wrath of the heavens, and he did the practice and contributed two virgins to solve the problem.
When everyone listened, they felt that what they said was reasonable, and now hunger is the top priority, and diseases are indiscriminately treated for medicine, and whatever the Taoist priest says is what it is.
That night, the Taoist priest sent two sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls in the room, everyone knelt respectfully outside the house, the Taoist priest set up an altar from the courtyard, killed two chickens, slaughtered a dog, dripped a few drops of chicken blood in front of the altar, took a long sword in his hand, waved it a few times, pasted a few pieces of rune paper, and entered the house.
After a while, a few women's whimpering sounds and a few seeming gasps came from the room. The people of Wujia Village knelt on the ground, kept kowtowing, put on incense and candles, and prayed that God would give a good harvest.
The silly aunt also knelt in the crowd, and the old man of the Wu family who was lying in bed at home did not come, but his wife came, and she still held a cloth ball in her arms, looking at these worshippers blankly, with a blank expression.
Although she didn't understand anything, her ears were excellent, and the gasps of the men and women in the room clearly reached her ears, and she just shook her head a few times.
Glancing at the stupid aunt's stunned appearance, the old woman of the Wu family sighed a few times, "Silly aunt, we can't afford to take care of your food now, if you want to go, let's go......"
Hearing the voice, the silly girl turned around and just smirked at her.
The old woman of the Wu family stiffened her face and cursed: "What a broom star!" Just eat useless waste ......"
There is a small river at the mouth of Wujia Village, the water surface is quite clean, and there are several huge pieces of ice floe on it that have not yet melted, mixed with dust, dead branches and leaves.
The silly girl sat by the river, stretched her dirty feet into the icy water, and shook her feet with great pleasure. The mother-in-law of the Wu family, who was washing clothes next to her, pursed her lips and sighed: "What a fool......" The look of impatience in her eyes was even worse, mixed with disgust.
She's really a nuisance, so it's better to deal with it quickly. She also told the old man last night that she didn't want to stay with the silly aunt anymore, and the old man lying on the bed also nodded and acquiesced.
The half-cut calf soaked in the water is white and round, and it is very eye-catching under the golden sun. The mother-in-law of the Wu family thought that this woman might be a young lady from which family, because when the old man picked her up, he sold her clothes and jewelry and got some expensive silver taels.
The mother-in-law washed her clothes, and scolded the fool while washing, so as to vent her anger and relieve this miserable life. The silly girl just played by the water, holding the cloth ball in her hand, and carefully cleaned the dirty corner of the cloth with water, as if it were some kind of treasure. On the black neck, there was a deep long scar, which had been polluted by a dirty black mass on the body, and there was no trace of it.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and the mother-in-law of the Wu family thought that it was Aunt Wang, who was at the door, and looked up with a smile to see that it was actually a Taoist priest of Wong Tai Sin invited by the village.
She quickly wiped her hand on her body, stood up with a smile, and shouted, "Huang Daxian, you are here." ”
"Oh." Huang Daxian nodded, and pretended to say: "Poor Dao came to see the estuary of Wujia Village, and looked at the fortune of Benjia Village. ”
As soon as she heard Wong Tai Sin say this, the Wu family's mother-in-law immediately looked respectful, followed behind with dog legs, and was on standby at any time to wait for Wong Tai Sin's orders.
"Who's that?" Pointing to the silly girl by the river, the Taoist priest asked.
"Hey...... That's a fool, don't bother with that thing! As she spoke, the mother-in-law hurriedly ran over and kicked the foolish aunt in the back with her foot, making a sound of "getting up" from her mouth, driving the silly aunt away like a livestock.
The silly girl leaned over and almost fell into the river, she stood up in a panic, hugged the cloth ball in her arms, and stared at the Taoist priest with a pair of dark eyes without blinking, full of vigilance.
Huang Daxian looked at the half-white calf, his eyes narrowed, and a fine light flashed. He raised his hand to stop his mother-in-law from driving away the stupid girl, and said: "Mother-in-law, why don't we have a discussion, although the poor Dao sees that this stupid girl is a little stupid, but the wisdom root is very deep, it is better to let the poor Dao receive the door, and the good life will teach, and it will be smart." As he spoke, the Taoist priest took out a few copper plates from his cuffs and shook them in front of his mother-in-law's eyes.
