After the Wang family left, the Liu family finally regained their calm, and the eldest sister Liu Hongjube worked on pigweed as always, but Liu Chongshan was depressed for several days because of this. In his heart, not having a son is a lifelong pain, and the words of the Wang family that day, "no son" and "no son", pierced his heart like a thorn.

Liu Chongshan was obviously depressed, first sighing when eating, then not being able to stand up straight when working, and then staring at a pair of purple feng shui hyacinths in front of the door or gourd seedlings in front of the fence, and occasionally muttering to himself.

Liu Chongshan's state, the family was worried when they saw it, Zhang persuaded a few words, Liu Chongshan turned a deaf ear at all, stared straight at the eaves with both eyes, and didn't say a word.

On this day, Liu Guiyuan met her cousin Liu Jindi outside, and heard her say that her father Liu Daquan was going to go to other places to beg for a living, and before leaving, she would invite a few people with good relationships to eat and drink, including her father Liu Chongshan.

Liu Guiyuan thought that it would be better to ask her father to go over for a drink, maybe her mood would be soothed, "Dad, Uncle Daquan told you to drink tonight, you go and chat." ”

Liu Chongshan was lying on the kang in the inner room, humming weakly: "Don't go, it's boring." ”

"Dad, go ahead, Uncle Daquan's heart, don't hurt people's hearts."

Under her repeated persuasion, Liu Chongshan finally got out of bed, pulled the half-worn black cloth shoes, and went to Liu Daquan's house.

Liu Guiyuan never thought that it was this ordinary drinking and chatting that Liu Chongshan had the idea of going out to ask for food to earn money.

"Dad, I heard you right, right? You and my mother are going out to ask for food? "Liu Guiyuan can't figure it out, he has a field at home, he has a strong hand, he stays at home and works hard, he earns as much as he eats, and he earns money by his own ability, isn't it fragrant?"

"Yes, it's not so miserable to say that it's asking for food, it's just to perform a flower drum show for people outside first, and the words of the play are bitter and shouting that they are miserable, and the people who listen to the play will naturally give a reward for silver, and there are many of them all year round."

Liu Chongshan drank with Liu Daquan until the end last night, and listened to him tell a lot of interesting things about begging for life outside, and felt that making money was not to mention fast, and it didn't take a lot of effort, and it was more comfortable than leaving the family to farm.

"Dad, what are you going out to do? The three of us sisters work at home, and if we have nothing to do, we will go to the town to sell snails for money, and the family must have enough food and clothing, so why suffer that sin? ”

Liu Chongshan's eyes lit up, he rubbed his knees with a smile, and had a rare good temper: "You don't understand, your uncle told me that his son Jinbao was conceived outside, and the place where he asked for food at that time was called Stone City, and it was there that he took a pair of medicine sold by the divine doctor, and his family Jinbao was born." Liu Chongshan turned to Zhang, who was sitting on the side, and said: "If you want to go to the two of us, anyway, the three girls are old, and they can do any work at home, so we can sing and ask for food all the way over there, and then ask for a secret recipe for having a child, and our son will have it!" ”

"Dad, you are superstitious, how can you have any secret recipes for having children?" Liu Guiyuan couldn't get used to it, so he quickly persuaded him not to take medicine indiscriminately.

"You know what? Look at what it looks like our family doesn't have a son to bully outsiders, why is it so horizontal to recycle Mai Liu Xiaobian's family, it is to bully our family without a son, this time the Wang family's few deflated calves, the reason why they dare to come to the door to find trouble is also to see that our family has no male support. Liu Chongshan said sentence by sentence, Liu Guiyuan was powerless to refute, but he didn't want to convince Liu Guiyuan that he was the head of the family, and it was not up to him to say or do anything.

"Baby, will you come with me? If you don't go to me, how can I sing the flower drum opera alone, who cares about my eating and drinking, who do I have a son with, ah? Liu Chongshan spoke unusually gently, grinning at Zhang, Zhang's couldn't help it, so he could only nod and follow him, just worried about lotus seeds, it was only more than a month, can it be done without a mother?

"You are not at home lotus seeds are like that, call the red dates to be okay, feed her the batter when you are hungry, go to my mother if there is anything, I will take the time to talk to her, she has nothing to do with the children in this family." Liu Chongshan thought that the arrangement was very proper, and Zhang thought that he didn't have any milk, and the lotus seeds were all brought with and without drinking, and if he only fed batter, he should be able to do it, so he stopped talking.

Liu Guiyuan saw that he and his wife discussed the matter of going out by themselves, and he didn't care about the lives of their four sisters at all, so he was angry and didn't persuade him, anyway, with you and our sisters, we can still live and live better.

It is best that Liu Chongshan can stay outside for a year or two, and when the eldest sister finds a suitable home for herself, when Liu Chongshan comes back, she will symbolically solicit his opinion, and she will be ready to marry at any time, so that it is not much more reliable than the marriage arranged by his irresponsible father?

Let's talk about the second sister, the second sister's face is just taking advantage of this time to treat and dress, without him blocking it at home under the pretext of not having enough money, the second sister's face is only afraid that it can be faster, and it is better to be complete.

As for himself, it is the tiger is not at home, the monkey is called the king, how wide the sea is and the fish jumps, the sky is high and the birds can fly. The only thing I am worried about is the lotus seed, it is almost ten months old, can she raise such a young child?

Two days later, one morning, Liu Chongshan and Zhang's simply packed their luggage, ready to go out with Liu Daquan to sing and earn money, before leaving, Zhang's was reluctant to leave, looked at the four daughters with tears in his eyes, and said to Liu Chongshan: "Or let's not go, I can't bear the child." ”

"You person, as I said before, you will go wherever I go, but now you are going to change your hexagram. I ask you, if you don't go out, you can give birth to a son? If we don't have a son, can our family still be bullied? There was a fuss at home before, I don't know how many people were snickering behind their backs, aren't you ashamed? ”

Liu Chongshan crackled and scolded, Zhang's originally soft heart completely hardened, yes, what his father said is right, if you don't have a son, you don't care, if you want to not be bullied, you have to give birth to a big fat boy.

Comforting the Zhang family, Liu Chongshan taught the three sisters who stood at the door: "I am not with your mother, the work in the field should be done, the ground should be done, the ground in Beihu is dry, the maize planted is free to water, the East Lake is diligent in pulling weeds, and when the maize grows, don't forget to loosen the soil, seedlings, and peanut fields......"

"Chongshan, don't nag, hurry up, if you don't leave, you won't be able to catch up with the car, everyone is waiting for us outside." Liu Daquan stood outside the fence, listening to Liu Chongshan still nagging, and hurriedly urged him to leave quickly, this time they went out with a serious troupe that sang flower drum opera, not to mention that they could take the car, which was much easier than them walking by themselves, but they couldn't ask people to wait too long, otherwise they would leave.

Liu Chongshan nodded, quickly commanded two sentences, and then dragged the teary-eyed Zhang on the side to set off, and said as he walked: "Brother Daquan, Xiangxue and I can't sing or play, you can teach me more when the time comes." ”

"It's out of the way, didn't I tell you? We don't sing teasing songs seriously, mainly to sell miserably and beg for two dollars to spend......"

Looking at the back of the three of them leaving, Liu Guiyuan's heart swelled with sadness, let's go, let's go, when you get outside, you will know what social sinister is, and I hope you won't regret it when the time comes.

As soon as Liu Chongshan and Zhang's left, the life of the three sisters of the Liu family was still as usual, playing pigweed and feeding chickens in the morning, sometimes working in the field, fishing for snails and mussels in the afternoon, nothing to send to the town, by the way, there is one more, that is, raising lotus seeds, after a long time, the three sisters felt that the current small life was more comfortable than when Liu Chongshan and his wife were at home.

However, Liu Chongshan and his wife are not at home, and it is still a little risky for the three flower-like girls to stay at home, no, within a few days, a terrible thing happened in the Liu family.

Because there are no adults in the family, this evening, the three sisters of the Liu family had dinner early, took the urinal and put it in the house, and then forked the door bolt, and used a hoe and a wooden shovel behind the door to resist, the eldest sister slept in the back room with the little lotus seeds, and Liu Huahua and Liu Guiyuan were still resting in the west side of the house. The villagers rarely light up the lamp at night, not to mention that his family doesn't even light the oil lamp, so the three sisters can only lie in bed and talk and sleep. Just fell asleep, there were two snaps, there was a sound of knocking on the door outside the door, Liu Hongzao was the closest, sat up and asked, but no one answered.

Liu Hongzao thought she had heard it wrong, she didn't care, and coaxed the lotus seed to continue sleeping, but who expected that there was movement outside the door again, this time it was not the sound of knocking on the door, but the intermittent crying of a woman. At night, there was a knock on the door, and the cry of a woman, is there anything more terrible than this?

"Peanut, longan, you two wake up, listen, there is a cry at the door." Liu Hongzao came to the west room with lotus seeds in her arms, shook the two of them vigorously, and pointed outside with a trembling voice. The black light is blind, Liu Guiyuan can't see anything, but his ears are more sensitive than in the daytime, so he hears "woo woo woo...... Ahh......hh The cry of "babbling and babbling" was obviously a woman's cry, the voice was sharp and thin, and the tone was deliberately lengthened.

"Sister, what's out there? Don't really have ...... That dirty thing? Liu Huaanhua shrank in Liu Hongjube's arms, and asked tremblingly, so frightened that he didn't even dare to mention that word.

"Wait, it seems to be silent, I'll go over and take a look, don't someone pretend to be a ghost." Liu Guiyuan didn't believe that there were ghosts, and as soon as he finished speaking, he was about to get out of bed to look, and as soon as he walked to the door frame, there were two cracks in the window, followed by the cry of "The slave family died so miserably - the slave family came to you".

Yes! The three sisters hugged each other and screamed, and at the same time, the lotus seeds on the bed suddenly cried, frightened by them.

Liu Guiyuan was indeed frightened, the adults were not at home, and they were a little cautious, but it was the singing cry just now that made Liu Guiyuan sure that it was not a ghost but a person outside the door, because those few crying words sounded weird, not like a woman crying, listening carefully as if it was a man's voice, a person who was neither male nor female, could it be-

Liu Guiyuan told the two of them his thoughts, and the three sisters blurted out, "Wang Feisan?!" ”

Yes, that's him! His kind of voice is very special, neither male nor female, neither yin nor yang, Liu Guiyuan has always been very impressed by this voice.

"Wang Feisan, is that you? What are you trying to do? Liu Hongjube scolded boldly, and the crying outside the window really stopped, but it didn't take long for that babbling cry to start again.

Fuck Wang Feisan, it's really not a thing, it's too deceitful! Liu Guiyuan took advantage of the half-star light outside the window, walked to the hall and groped for a handful of torches left over from the wheat harvest, which was dipped in oil with a cloth, and it could be burned for a long time. It's a pity that there are no flints, they are all outside, she simply summoned a pink backpack, there is a lighter there, she doesn't smoke but has a bit of a mosquito coil habit.

"Click", the torch lit up, Liu Hongjube and Liu Huahua came over when they saw the light, Liu Guiyuan looked at her two sisters and asked, "I'm going out to beat him to death, do you two dare?" ”

Under the firelight, the eldest sister's face was pale, but her eyes were bright, and the second sister's eyebrows were upside down, and she rolled up her sleeves and said, "Who wouldn't dare?" Whoever doesn't dare is a bad seed! ”

"Okay, I'll illuminate you, eldest sister, you take a hoe, second sister, you take a sickle, remember one thing, it's okay to fight to death, but don't make trouble!"

"Hey!"

Liu Hongzao removed the wooden shovel, took the hoe in his hand, Liu Huahua removed the door latch, as soon as the door opened, Liu Guiyuan took the lead in front with a torch, and scolded: "Shameless Wang Feisan, you roll over for me!" The torches shone left and right, and suddenly saw a man in white with a cloak on the west side of the corner, and when he saw that he was found and was about to run, Liu Guiyuan pointed at him and shouted to the people behind him: "There, hit me!" ”

Regardless of whether he was a human or a ghost, Liu Hongjube and Liu Huahua chased after him with farm tools, crackling, and Wang Feisan, who was dressed in white and white pants and covered with hair, screamed.

However, Wang Feisan is a man in the end, after a few sturdy hits at the beginning, he ran away after a few stings, stood in the distance and turned around, and shouted in the direction of the three sisters: "Liu Hongzao, you are destined to be my woman in this life, today you beat me and it hurts, wait until I have it in my hands to see how I can return it to you a thousand times, and then you will kneel and beg for mercy!" ”

Liu Hongzao was so angry that he trembled, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Beast, mouth full of feces, I will kill you today, and I will pay you for your life if you die!" After speaking, he rushed forward with the hoe in his hand, Wang Feisan saw that the situation was not good, turned his head and ran, and disappeared after a while.

"Eldest sister, don't chase it, it's pitch black, it's hard for us to find him wherever he's hiding."

Liu Guiyuan hurriedly chased after him to persuade, Liu Huahua got close and grabbed her eldest sister and said, "Sister, what are you doing?" What kind of bullshit is he that deserves your life for him, does he deserve it? Don't be angry, with me and Guiyuan, as long as he dares to come, we will dare to convince him. ”

Liu Hongzao was deflated, half leaned into her arms, and said worriedly: "What do you two say, seeing him like this, he will definitely come in the future?" ”

"What to do? Find the third aunt to do it! If she hadn't done this well, the Wang family would have come to the door to find trouble? No, how did Wang Feisan know that our father and mother didn't stay at home? Liu Guiyuan suddenly thought of this, her father and mother didn't even know all the people in the village when they went out, Sangyu Village was twenty miles away from here, how did he know? If he hadn't known that his father and mother were not there, Wang Feisan would not have dared to come.

"It must have been said by the third aunt, who else is there besides her?" Liu Huahua's heart moved, and he guessed the truth in an instant, and he was angry in place, and he was about to settle accounts with the third aunt right now.

At the same time, an old voice sounded, "Is it a few girls with red dates, what happened, and you are still outside so late?" ”
