Chapter Twenty-Eight: Broken Incense?
A group of children in the village made an appointment to go to the small river to the north to catch sparrows, and roast them in the reeds by the river.
Although the sparrow is small, it can occasionally be used for tooth sacrifices. They have to eat it every month and a half, and it is impossible for them to have meat to eat every day at home.
Next to it is a shallow river that meanders down from the mountains. When the season is right, you can also see a few fish fluttering on the surface of the river.
However, children dare to catch grasshoppers and sparrows, but they dare not go down to the river to catch fish.
The elders of the family have taught with sticks that if they take the river, they will be swept away by the flood; If you can't swim, you will drown on the spot; What's more serious is to scare them that there are water monsters in the river that eat children, which makes the children stunned and dare not go into the river.
Xiaodouzi and their gang have had a good harvest today, and they have caught a lot of sparrows alone, which is enough for each person to satisfy their hunger.
Occasionally, you can bump into an ugly toad, jumping up and down, blowing your jaw out.
But they didn't dare to eat it, they grabbed it in their hands, played with it, teased it and released it.
Although the boys in the village were all fun, they were also measured, and when they reached about the same hour, they dispersed and went home.
Xiaodouzi, Gouwa, and Sanjin are all on the same road, so the three of them also play better than other playmates, and they go together every time they go back.
Sanjin ate a sparrow, his mouth was stained with oil, he smashed it and smacked his mouth and said: "The sparrow tastes good, but it's not enough to stuff the teeth, when can we catch a pheasant to roast it......"
Pheasants are common in the mountains, and they are still young, so their families are definitely not allowed to go up the mountain. I can only think about it.
The dog baby is not fun or not, he feels that he has spent the whole day eating, and he feels bored.
"Two days ago, I pestered my father to make me a slingshot, and when it's done, let's go to the open space to play with the slingshot."
Daddy Dog is the best carpenter in the village, and simple things like slingshots don't take much effort for him.
The two talked about it, glanced at Xiaodouzi, and felt that he was especially quiet today, as if he was unhappy.
The dog baby touched him with her elbow and said, "How is it, beans?" ”
Xiaodouzi nodded lightly, he was preoccupied, and he was suddenly sad because of his playmate, and he had some mixed tastes.
"When the time comes, you will call me."
The three playmates were talking about something, and a dirty figure came across them.
Niu Er gnawed a mouthful of mud in the field, and spit out several mouthfuls of mud phlegm. He didn't have a brain, he just wiped his mouth with his sleeve and walked back angrily.
To say that this fool usually doesn't get angry, but it's more terrible than anyone else to start a fire. A face twisted, teeth and claws, looking terrifying.
Seeing the three children pacing slowly across from him, he recognized the one in the middle as the younger brother of the man who had beaten him.
When passing by, Niu Er glared at Xiaodouzi viciously, as if he was going to eat him... Standing next to Sanjin's ear at the outermost, he heard the sound of his teeth rubbing against each other, and he was terrified.
Sanjin subconsciously shook his ears, leaned his head on Xiaodouzi's side, and motioned to the two playmates with his eyes, and the three of them tacitly quickened their pace.
When Niu Er walked away, Sanjin breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest that was jumping because he was frightened, approached them and said, "My mother said that his brain is broken, why does he look so scary, no wonder my mother asked me to avoid it." ”
Xiaodouzi also likes to listen to these trivial things since he was a child, he said: "I heard that Niu Er was stupid when he was a child, as long as he doesn't hurt people, let's not discriminate against him." ”
The character that can play together will not be too different, and the dog baby nodded in agreement.
"We all understand this truth, what is that thing called... People what... What do I not have? ”
Xiaodouzi corrected him seriously, "If people don't offend me, I won't offend people." ”
Bai taught Xiaodouzi to read, and if there are some crepes, he counts the beans that can come out of his mouth the most.
……
After Xu Wan went home, he was not idle for a moment, carried the bamboo basket to the well, poured out the picked cold powder grass and picked it up, and then soaked it in water to clean.
Chu Yuan, who looked at it seriously, was distracted, if it weren't for the thrilling scene he saw with his own eyes just now, he would have felt that nothing had happened.
There was a person next to him, and Xu Wan didn't need to look back to confirm, he was already keenly aware of it.
She picked and washed the jelly grass, and said calmly: "That man called himself Niu Er, I tried to set his words, he said that his sister told him that I was his daughter-in-law." ”
Xu Wan was angry when he said this, he didn't expect that the ancient people would take advantage of others like this.
She exaggerated her tone and asked him, "You just said it's outrageous?!" ”
Don't talk about her, Chu Yuan only listened to those few words, and he felt that it was too much. If Niu Er commits it again, he will definitely not spare him, and when he sees it once he beats it, he doesn't dare to do it again.
Xu Wan stared down at the basin, and her beautiful side face was facing Chu Yuan, the soft outline like a paintbrush, and because she didn't make a big move, it seemed to be frozen into an oil painting.
Chu Yuan stared at her curly eyelashes fluttering and fluttering, and thought to himself: She looks like a fairy, no wonder someone harasses her. It's a big deal that wherever she goes in the future, he will follow.
Chu Yuan replied casually: "I'm afraid that a fool will become a madman." ”
This is not unreasonable, both of them are doctors, and this situation is not uncommon over there. What kind of intellectual problem so-and-so killed his father with a knife... What is a serial wound with neuropathy......
The key is that there is a medical certificate that proves that they have intellectual problems, and they can be given a lenient sentence.
In ancient times, it seemed that there was a law of one life for one life, and it mainly depended on how the official judged.
Xu Wan didn't pay much attention to it, but when he heard Chu Yuan's words, he suddenly froze.
Secretly said: When she sees Niu Er in the future, she has to hide, she doesn't want to ascend to heaven as soon as possible.
At this time, Chu Yuan said again: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, wait for me to find out who is behind him." ”
Xu Wan nodded calmly, okay, the family has a backer, so let's make a posture and lean on it for the time being. If you owe one favor, you owe it, and you owe two.
……
Niu family.
Niu Er's mother came back from the field, just poured water into her mouth, and caught a glimpse of stomping her feet into the house, and Niu Er, who was covered in dirt, squirted out a mouthful of water.
She hurriedly said, "Niu Er, what's going on?" Where did you fall? Let my mother take a look! ”
Originally, she had been working in the field all morning, and she couldn't lift her tired arms, but when she saw her youngest son like this, she rushed up anxiously and grabbed his arm to look around.
Niu Er's mother checked it and found that most of Niu Er's body was stained with a layer of soil, and there was no blood, so she calmed down.
She slapped off the gray soil vigorously, and shouted anxiously: "Niu Er, my mother asked you!" Why don't you speak? ”
Niu Er rarely has such a dull time, and he has to let Niu Er think about it more.
Slightly tired eyes stared at Niu Er distractedly, waiting for him to speak.
Niu Er is stupid, but the joy, anger and sorrow have no effect. He was a man after all, and it made me feel uncomfortable just thinking about being thrown to the ground by a man taller than him in the ground.
He didn't know how to explain what had happened, so he tugged on his mother's sleeve, blindly thinking about his daughter-in-law, and arguing angrily: "Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, I want a daughter-in-law!" ”
To be honest, it was the first time that Niu Er's mother heard the words that he wanted a daughter-in-law from Niu Er's mouth. She used to only comfort herself that it didn't matter if her youngest son was stupid, it was a big deal that she would do more and not let him lack food. I never thought that my stupid son would grow up and clamored to marry a daughter-in-law.
The Niu family has two sons in this generation, the eldest son and daughter-in-law gave birth to four daughters, and has not yet given birth to a child, according to what she thought before, there are ten or eight people in the countryside everywhere, she doesn't believe that the eldest daughter-in-law has a child, the next child, and can't give birth to a boy.
But after thinking about it, if the eldest son and daughter-in-law don't have the life to give birth to a child in their lives, then will the old Niu family cut off the incense?
No way! In that case, what face did she and the old man have to go down to see the ancestors and ancestors, and the incense of the old cow's family could not be cut off in their hands.
Niu Er's mother came back to her senses from her thoughts, and she already had an idea in her heart.
She grabbed Niu Er's hand, which was moving because of impatience, and held it in her hand. As if he had made up his mind, he stared at Niu Er's dull eyes.
Tell him, "Good! Mother gives you a daughter-in-law. ”
Niu Er understood, and in a blink of an eye, he showed his usual weird smile again, and his head leaned on his mother's shoulder little by little.
"Mother is the best!"
