"There will be demons after three rounds at night, I don't see the head or the tail, I look back at no one, my steps are empty, my heart is empty, I look left and right, and I will scare you by a female ghost!"

This is a popular ballad in 1923.

I don't know where it began, it became a ballad that people in the streets and alleys could sing, and the old man wanted to deter the crying children, and the daughters-in-law and old ladies also sang it, so as to remind the people who returned at night.

After three rounds overnight, it's time to go home......

Chestnut Village is located in the suburbs, not too far from the county seat, but there is also a lot of distance.

There is a river that flows into the county seat from the village of Chestnut.

People call that river the Bodhisattva River.

Because when there was a famine, the water sources in other places were cut off and clean, and there was no drop left. And this river running through the county seat of Lizi Village is not dry, in the period of famine, water source is the most important existence, even if there is no food, only water can survive!

In gratitude for this river, he gave the name Bodhisattva River. Bodhisattvas and Bodhisattvas, compassion for the heart, help the world and save people.

Chestnut Village is famous for selling chestnuts.

There is nothing lacking in the village, of which chestnuts are the most.

In the peak season of chestnuts, no one wants to fall to the ground and smell rotten, and at that time, there were not many people in Chestnut Village who thought that chestnuts had any moths. On the contrary, foreigners came to this county town to say that the chestnuts were delicious. In order to cater to the taste of foreigners, chestnuts were sold, and there was a place to sell them in the market, and the villagers simply changed their name to Chestnut Village after making a profit.

This year was a shortage of money, and the chestnut village took this opportunity to make a fortune, so it cultivated chestnuts on a large scale. However, after the novelty, the foreigners soon lost much interest in chestnuts and fell in love with handmade products.

Chestnut Village has no source of income to support, relying on a few outdated chestnuts to have any look, so it gradually became poor again.

He Juan is the best-looking woman in Lizi Village, and she usually likes to wear embroidered shoes. It was embroidered by her mother when she got married, red, embroidered with mandarin ducks, which means that she and her husband can love and love for a long time.

The war is not over yet, I heard that there was another war some time ago, and her husband is a strong man who cares about the country and has signed up to join the army. And she was also pregnant, and when her husband Xu Fa left, He Juan said goodbye to her husband with her pregnant belly. The war is critical, the country needs talents, her husband Xu Fa Yinyin joined the volunteer to serve the country, and she also supported him, even if she was pregnant, she never complained that her husband's decision to do so was inappropriate.

Their family has no horses, and there is no extra spare money to make her husband walk decently. Looking at the old cotton clothes that my husband had stumbled, there were still several patches on them, the washed and whitened ones, and the old pants that had been sewn and mended.

She couldn't hold it back and cried with tears in her eyes.

Ho Run, that's her husband's name.

He Run, I will definitely give birth to the child, pull the child up, and wait for you to come back together!

After that, He Juan worked hard in the village to grow vegetables, went to the county seat to choose light jobs, and then earned some household subsidies. Life is poor, but it is not impossible to live. Occasionally, in the dead of night, I touched my belly, remembered the man in the distance, smiled slightly, and the baby in my stomach seemed to have a sense to kick her.

He Juan has always been a great beauty in the village, and many people covet and admire her beauty. At the same time, a single mother with a child, and her husband still doesn't know where she went, causing many people to have bad ideas about her. Not many people in the village knew about He Juan's husband going to join the army.

One day, when He Juan came back from washing clothes in the Bodhisattva River, she was bumped into by a passing king dog. Wang Gou relied on his father, who was the village chief Wang Defa, and was unscrupulous and often harassed some beautiful women in the village.

This Wang Gou had long been plotting against Juan, and it happened that he had just drunk wine, so he stepped forward to insult He Juan. He Juan was frightened and desperately resisted Wang Gou's incivility, and people said not to provoke a pregnant woman, a pregnant woman is the most terrifying.

He Juan felt ashamed, and Wang Gou took advantage of the situation to touch her waist again, she was afraid that Wang Gou would not be good for her stomach and panicked away. I thought of this person's dirty behavior, and I often teased her in front of her husband when he was still there. made her nauseous, she was furious, and when she was excited, she pushed the king dog hard, and the drunk king dog actually stumbled and fell into the river!

He Juan was frightened and fled in a hurry, not even wanting to wash the clothes.

It was already three o'clock after He Juan finished washing her clothes, and it was already dark. This accident frightened He Juan so much that she hid at home and didn't dare to come out, and she hid at home for several days.
