CHAPTER XV
"Aunt Du?" Deyier screamed tentatively.
"Hey, it's me." Du Lin responded and came to Deyier.
Du Lin is the second wife of Uncle De Yier, and after the uncle's wife died of cancer, he met Du Lin again and married Uncle De Yier when he was fifteen years old. Du Lin is ten years younger than her uncle and ten years older than De Yier, although her appearance is not as good-looking as her name, she treats people gently, always gentle and gentle, even the xenophobic Xiangcun has long treated her as her own.
"Aunt Du, why are you here?"
"We're here too, get a girl." Two other voices rang out at the same time.
"Xiang Niangniang, Erniang, why are you here too?" De Yi'er wet eyes, Erniang was born on the day De Yi'er's mother, De Yi'er's mother calculated a hexagram for her, saying that she had to have another mother to be auspicious, at that time the village people saw that she was a girl, no one wanted her, it was Erniang who ran to De Yier's house to ask for her after knowing it, so many years, Erniang also really treated her as her own daughter. And Xiang Niangniang is a child naughty, every time a father sees her unpleasant and beats her and doesn't give her a meal, De Yier runs to Xiang Niang's house to eat, Xiang Niangniang's cooking skills are very good, every time the food is very fragrant, and then De Yier began to call her Xiang Niangniang.
"We're here to bring you food." Aunt Du replied, and in the darkness of the night she bent down to open the basket and take out the food inside.
"Aunt Du, Xiang Niangniang, Erniang, my mother has brought me food." After Deyier finished speaking, Deyier's mother walked out from behind the sacred tree.
When the three of them saw De Yi'er's mother, their faces felt guilty, and Xiang Niangniang said: "De Yi'er mother, we can't do anything, we can only secretly come to deliver food." ”
"There are so many people in the village who want to punish Yi'er, and the three of us don't dare to resist." Erniang said.
"Sister-in-law, his uncle has already gone to the village to ask for someone, I will tell you as soon as there is good news, don't worry too much." Aunt Du said.
De Yi'er's mother said gratefully: "I can't thank you enough for your willingness to help us, not to mention that we as parents don't have the ability to stand up, how can we blame others." ”
De Yier listened to the conversation of several people, endured the tears of the afternoon and did not cry, and cried out with shame and shame at this time: "Xiang Niangniang, Erniang, Aunt Du, Mom, don't you are pleading for me, it's just six days, I can bear it." ”
"You stupid girl, you've been digging like this since you were a child, how can you withstand it on such a hot day." Erniang also choked in distress.
"It's the yin and yang day that happens every summer, and you're going to be tortured when it's hot and cold." Xiang Niangniang said that the yin and yang day, is the Xiangcun every year will appear three days of climate, in the three days of the yin and yang day, the temperature during the day can be as high as 40 degrees, and at night will suddenly drop to minus 7 degrees, and there will even be thunderstorms, but the climate of Xiangcun is dry and dry all year round, and there will usually be little rain, so the situation of rain in these three days will not occur basically.
After Erniang and Xiang Niangniang finished speaking, Du Lin remembered the padded jacket in the basket, she knew that these three days were yin and yang days, so she took a big padded jacket when she came.
De Yier was tied and there was no way to put it on, so Du Lin had to tie his sleeves around De Yier's neck, and the hem wrapped around his legs and pulled a little zipper, except for his arms, his body from the neck down was wrapped.
"Aunt Du, after being seen by the villagers tomorrow, she will be held accountable, so you better take it back."
"It's okay, I'll come and take it before dawn tomorrow, you can wear it for a while." Du Lin said softly.
The temperature is getting lower and lower, and there was still a hot wind just now, but now it is a cool breeze, and Deyier urged a few people to go back, and Deyier's mother helped Deyier to say a few words, and left with a low cry.
After a few people left, De Yier's body was extremely tired, she just endured not shouting pain in front of a few people, and now standing for a long time made her want to squat very much, but her body was strangled tightly, and she couldn't move.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, the temperature is getting colder and colder, and by eleven o'clock in the evening, the temperature has dropped to minus four degrees. Fortunately, Aunt Du gave her a padded jacket just now, although her body was not fully wrapped, but it was not so cold, it was this little warmth that made her more and more sleepy, and her consciousness was about to withdraw and fall into sleep, and her body fell down as it became weaker and weaker. But the rope was really tight, and she hadn't completely fallen asleep, her sinking body was pulled by the rope, and her whole body ached, and the huge pain made her wake up instantly.
De Yier exhaled a breath of turbidity, the pain just now made her dare not move now, for fear of pulling the straw rope to sharpen her body and suffer again, but the sleepy insect devoured her consciousness, whenever she wanted to fall asleep, De Yier would suddenly wake up again, and shook her head to let herself not fall asleep.
This kind of action was repeated repeatedly, and by half past zero, the temperature dropped to the top of minus seven degrees, and the lush leaves of the sacred tree overhead changed from the initial silence to restlessness, wantonly frenzy, and gusts of cold wind blew one after another.
The padded jacket on his body was in the arrogance of the wind, and the sleeves tied around his neck were finally scraped open and fell to the ground, because the zipper on his leg could not be scraped open, the padded jacket hung on his leg and swayed with the wind. Without a padded jacket, there was only a thin sunscreen clothing left on her body, and another gust of cold wind blew, and her teeth trembled up and down uncontrollably, and her whole body had goosebumps for a while.
