sub-hours.

Liu Haisheng sat up from the bed.

He rubbed his face vigorously, and all he thought about over and over again in his mind were the words that Nan Jinyi had said to him when he was in Baicaotang. He left home at a young age and had been looking forward to being reunited with his mother, so that he could easily return, but it was already time for his mother to die. The son wants to raise but is no longer kissed, which casts a shadow on his heart.

Get up, open the door, and come to my mother's door lightly.

He wanted to see his mother a few more times, but when he got to the door, he saw a light on in the room.

A faint light shines through the crack in the door and falls on the high threshold, refracting a narrow shadow. Through the crack in the door, he saw his mother sitting alone on the bed, muttering something incessantly.

Liu Haisheng wanted to know what his mother said, so he put his ear to the door. The mother seemed to be talking to someone, and that person seemed to be his father.

"You don't have to persuade me anymore! I know you're doing it for my good, but I can't help it. ”

"Let's go, let's go with confidence, we should be reincarnated, we should be a man, we should get married as soon as possible in the next life, don't harm others like I did."

"Bitter? Not bitter! Those hard days are over. Blame you? No, I don't blame you, it's all my life! Alright, let's go, it will be dawn in a little while. ”

When Liu Haisheng still wanted to hear it, the door of the house suddenly sounded, and he walked to the courtyard to look, and found that there were two shadows, one black and one white. The shadow was very faint, and there was a faint sound of chains as it passed by. Liu Haisheng was curious and wanted to follow the two shadows, but they quickly disappeared. The courtyard was calm again, not even a hint of wind.

I turned around and saw my mother.

In the moonlight, her face was very white, and she looked unusually thin. When his mother called him a child, he noticed that his mother's facial expressions were a little stiff and a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange for a while.

"Mother, why are you up?"

"What's wrong with you?" The mother looked at the sky: "It's not too early, go back to sleep." ”

"Mother!" Seeing his mother turn around and want to go back to the room, he hurriedly called: "Do you miss my father?" Just now, I thought you were talking to my dad. ”

"What do you want him to do, he's been gone for so many years." The mother chattered: "When people are old, this brain doesn't work, and it's all those old things that are turned over and over." Is it my mother's voice that is too loud and makes you noisy? ”

"No, I got up when I heard the door knock."

"This door is broken, it's time to fix it." Mother said and went into the house.

Liu Haisheng wanted to follow up, but his mother had already closed the door.

Strange to say, just as my mother was closing the door, a cold wind rose in the yard for no reason. The wind in late autumn was even more biting than in winter, and he couldn't help but rub his arms.

The next day, as before, the mother closed the door and did not come out until almost noon.

In Baicaotang, a man and a woman rolled out of the shop, with a smooth posture and an embarrassed landing, which soon attracted a group of onlookers.

Passers-by were divided into two groups, one group was in a hurry to get up early to do business, either carrying a burden or carrying a basket. Yibo got up for breakfast, holding either steamed buns or buns in his hands. The two groups of people are crowded together, which seems to be the unique life atmosphere of the whole Anping County.

The man grabbed the woman's neck, and the woman pulled the man's hair.

Men want women to let go, and women want men to die.

Among the onlookers, some people stood on tiptoe to look at them and said to the people beside them: "It's the donkey seller in the East Market." ”

The man let out a sigh and stood on tiptoe, trying to see clearly the men and women who were fighting together.

Qin Ye squeezed in with a knife, and after seeing clearly that it was a husband and wife fighting, he shouted loudly to ask people to make way out. Liu Hanshan walked out idly with his right hand behind his back. It's still casual clothes, it's still a white-washed face, and it's still neatly tied black hair. He calmly glanced at the two people who were still lying on the ground, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"My lord, he hit me." The woman reacted quickly, and let go of the hand that was pulling the man's hair: "Not only did he beat me, he also wanted to strangle me." ”

"My lord, she is the wicked person who sues first." The man let go: "She wronged me, she said I hooked up with other women outside." ”

"You stinky shameless." The woman slapped the man in the face: "You dare to talk nonsense in front of the Lord Qingtian." ”

"Where am I talking nonsense, it's obvious that you wronged me and said that I was messing around with other women outside." The man covered his face unusually aggrievedly: "My lord, you watched just now, it was she who hit me, and I didn't fight back." ”

"I hit you because you deserved to." The woman got up suddenly: "Your surname is Lu, you ask these folks who know us, how does I, Liu Cuihua, treat you?" When I married you, you were a donkey seller, and when I gave you a son, you were still a donkey seller. Now that your son is going to get married, you are still a donkey seller, have I ever disliked you? In the spring, when the wind was strong, I followed you to sell donkeys, and I shaved my face. It's hot in the summer, I feel sorry for you, and I do all the dirty work of cleaning the donkey shed. ”

The more the woman spoke, the more aggrieved she became, and she sat on the ground with a "plop" and began to wail.

Because of the woman's cry, more and more people began to gather here. A larger circle soon formed around them, whispering and snickering, and it was not a big deal to see the excitement.

Nan Jinyi was leaning against the door frame to watch the excitement, and when he saw Liu Hanshan's gaze coming, he got up lazily: "Okay, don't cry, don't you just want to know where the diseases on his body come from?"

The woman stopped crying and looked at Nan Jinyi motionlessly.

"Come in!" Nan Jinyi retreated into the shop: "Lord Liu, come too, just to be a witness and help them cut off the housework that keeps cutting and sorting out the mess." ”

The woman glanced at the man, dragged the man's arm and dragged him into the Baicaotang, followed by Liu Hanshan.

Seeing the excitement, they wanted to keep up, but Qin Ye stretched out his hand to stop them, and they all dispersed.

In the shop, the woman sobbed and complained: "He said he didn't touch those women, how could he get that kind of dirty disease if he didn't touch them?" Even if he's dirty, she'll still bother me. I, Liu Cuihua, have lived innocently for half my life, and I saw that it was time to be a mother-in-law, but I was ruined by this man. Doctor Nan, Lord Liu, you have to call the shots for me. ”

"It's dirty, but it's not necessarily spread in the way you say." Nan Jinyi looked at the man's eyes, there was no embarrassment, no cover-up, no quibbles, only unspeakable, unexplained grievances: "The infection has not been for a long time, about two months, think about it, what special things have happened in these two months." ”

"What do you mean by something special?" The man asked in a low voice, and his afterglow swept towards the woman from time to time, and his expression was as if he was afraid that the woman would pounce at any time.
