"Wei Qiu, come on, this third master Xu has fallen into the ditch." When Erniang saw her, she said with an anxious face, and stretched out her hand to point not far away.

Xu Weiqiu saw a man lying on the ground from a distance, covered in mud, half of his body buried in a shallow ditch.

When I walked in, it was really Xu Sanye.

Xu Weiqiu hurriedly called the mountain girl, and the three women worked hard to get the old man out of the ditch, and then she sent the person home with a board car.

The old man had lived alone for a long time, and the fall was not light, and he was able to get up slowly after lying down for a while.

Xu Sanye insisted that he was fine, but Xu Weiqiu was still not at ease, you must know that what this person is most afraid of after a certain age is wrestling, she and Shanniu guarded the old man's house for a while, and saw that he was indeed fine, so she left with confidence.

When she went to the market the next day, she gritted her teeth and spent a lot of money to buy an old hen.

On the way back, a villager was seen disposing of some old furniture in a clearing by the river, and he raised his axe and was dismantling it piece by piece.

There are several pieces piled up on the side, although they are worn and old, but the materials look very strong, and it is a pity to destroy them.

Xu Weiqiu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "This big brother, do you have to split these?" ”

This villager is the Huzi of Jiutou Village, and the Huzi nodded at her: "Yes, an old man in our village is gone, these are all things he has used." ”

"It's a shame to just split like this, can you give me these few pieces?"

"Ah......?" Huzi thought he had misheard: "Do you want this dead man's thing too?" "The most taboo thing for the people in the village is to use things used by the dead, and generally if the descendants of the deceased take over the use, they will use it, and if they don't want it, they will usually be chopped up like this as firewood.

Xu Weiqiu nodded, took a closer look, the two cabinets each had a broken foot, and a corner of the square table was also insected, and the others were fine, she handed the few copper plates left over from buying the old hen to the other party, and discussed: "Big brother, in this way, you should sell the scrap and give me the rest." ”

As soon as Huzi saw that there was money to collect, he immediately agreed, and enthusiastically helped her carry things up, and the two carried things ashore, Huzi recognized her board car at a glance, he looked at the board car, and then looked at the little girl in front of him.

This appearance is very different from what he saw before, and there is no fishy smell on his body, for a while, Huzi didn't know whether he was denying the wrong person, so he couldn't help asking, "Does the girl live nearby?" The noodles are tight. ”

Xu Weiqiu did not doubt him, so he naturally replied: "I am from Xigang Village in front of me." ”

"Ah, then we're not far away, I'm a villager from Dongtou Jiutou Village, and they all call me Huzi." As he spoke, Huzi glanced her up and down: "Are you pushing the cart to do business?" ”

"Yes, I sell fish."

At this time, Huzi can conclude that this is the object that the matchmaker's good aunt introduced to Li Damao before.

This appearance is okay, it's not ugly, it's just a little darker, look at it seriously, it looks good. After saying goodbye to this girl, Huzi returned to Jiutou Village, passed by the door and saw his daughter-in-law, he didn't even say hello, and ran directly to the end of the village to find Li Damao.

"Brother Da Mao, Brother Da Mao, let me ask you, you haven't retired from the family business that my good aunt told you before, have you?"

"Got out early, what's wrong?"

Hearing this, Huzi slapped his thigh: "Oops...... Wrong, wrong! Wrong! He made three typos in a row.

"What's wrong?" Li Damao was confused by him.

Huzi told him everything about the girl he had just met, and added: "That girl is a little darker, but she looks good." ”

"Really?" Recalling the appearance of the woman that day, as well as the smell wafting from her body, Li Damao's heart responded.

"What am I telling you to do, if you don't believe me, you can find a chance to meet again."

"No, no, I've already withdrawn the marriage."

"What are you afraid of, the man is unmarried, the woman is unmarried, you stuff some money for your aunt, and let her run one more trip."

Li Damao felt that he was reasonable, but because of his face, he just shook his head and didn't answer, Huzi saw that he couldn't move him, so he left helplessly.

Li Damao looked at his background and thought of his words......

-------------

After sleeping all afternoon, the fat woman was still in no energy, and she had to admit that she missed the girl who came out early in the morning.

She doesn't know what's wrong with herself, as long as she doesn't quarrel with this girl for a day, she will be bored, from the past few days of bickering, the fat woman was surprised to find that no matter what kind of story she quotes, the girl can immediately understand the meaning of her words, and when she reproaches herself, she is also out of the mouth.

It really doesn't look like an ordinary village girl.

When she had nothing to do, she walked up and down the room, wandering around.

No matter how she looked at this earthen house, she could see from the inside that the mud on the wall was freshly pasted, and the paste was quite clean.

A large special-shaped window was opened to the southwest, and only irregular branches were used to form a simple partition between the hall and the bedroom.

If there is not a single decent piece of furniture in the house, who will make a hole in the hall?

It was a pit but not a pit, so it was simply made of mud, nearly a zhang long but only two feet wide; The pit was covered with planks of the same size, and it was polished quite smoothly.

There are four futon cushions on the plank, which are not soft enough, but they are comfortable to sit on.

There was a small courtyard outside, not a big place, and some firewood had been piled up without planting anything, and the vine plant that was crawling on the fence wall of the yard was the only thing she could see, and it was full of unknown small flowers, which was pleasing to the eye.

Looking at the hall that could almost be called a home, the fat woman couldn't help but shake her head, what kind of poverty has this family become? She was in the midst of slander in her heart when she heard the familiar sound of a car rolling outside.

The fat woman's spirits perked up, and she moved out of the door with a somewhat bulky footsteps, and unceremoniously declared her dissatisfaction to the person who had just entered the hospital: "Alas, girl, you came back so late, do you want to starve me to death?" ”

Xu Weiqiu raised his eyes and glanced at her, but did not answer, and struggled to drag the cart into the courtyard.

The fat woman looked at the tatters on her car with disdain: "What are you dragging back?" ”

"Furniture, don't you see? After repairing it, there are ready-made cabinets and small wooden tables. ”

When the fat woman heard that she was going to use it, the contempt on her face became even heavier, and she leaned in and looked at it: "This is all thrown away by others, right?" Are you picking up rags? ”

"Yes, the dead have used it." Xu Weiqiu specially scared her.
