Chapter 111: The Yellow-Haired Youth

When his mother, Zhao, found out that the burn on his left arm had pus, she took him to the town to see a doctor.

After being cured, Yue was worried that he would do this stupid thing of burning his body hair again in the future, so he took him to the city to see a psychiatrist.

After psychological counseling, Ma Huangmao is no longer as self-pitiful as before, but compared with normal children, he still seems withdrawn, usually taciturn, unsociable, and dropped out of school at home before junior high school was completed.

He is a good hand at housework, people have strength, often parents on the mountain to carry bundles of firewood, most of them are a load of two bundles, he picks a load is four bundles, that is, two bundles are inserted at each end of the sharp burden, and it is easy to come down from the rugged mountain road. He sometimes set out from the hillside with his father with a bundle of firewood, and he always came down the hill first and returned to the door.

For more than 20 years, Ma Huangmao has grown into a young man with strong blood, and the man is married, although Ma Huangmao does not mention it, his parents are very anxious, because Ma Huangmao is difficult to find a partner, some girls see him with yellow hair, and they all treat him as a monster, where do they dare to approach him? Not even a chance to get close, let alone anything else.

Human affection also has cause and effect. Suddenly, Ma Huangmao drove a leggy cart in the city to deliver cigarettes, alcohol and other groceries to make a living, passing through the street, when the empty car returned, a Xiangshi beckoned to him, Ma Huangmao stopped there but did not get out of the car, saying that I don't look at the face.

Just as he was about to step on the footbike to leave, the Xiangshi stood up from the side of the stall and said, "Man, I see that you are wearing yellow hair, something special, you have talked to the object many times, and things are yellow, right?" But there is also a turning point, if you don't grasp it, you won't even have a woman's relationship in this life.

This can be said to the sore spot of Ma Huangmao, he immediately parked the bicycle on the side of the road, got out of the car while wiping the sweat beads on his forehead, approached the Xiangshi and asked, What did you say?

Xiangshi pointed to an empty stool in front of the stall and motioned for him to sit down, and repeated what he had just said.

Ma Huangmao said, how much does it cost to look at the face? The Xiangshi said, let's not talk about money first, you think I am accurate, I will not argue if I give as much as I want.

Ma Huangmao said, you also know that I am a foot worker, and it is impossible to make a lot of money. I don't ask anything now, just ask me about the person I'm talking to, am I a bachelor? If so, I will not talk about it from now on, so as not to waste my efforts. You just said that there is a turnaround, where is my turnaround?

Your turning point is written on your face, your face is slightly yellow, and you are covered in yellow hair, and you are related to a woman surnamed Huang. The Xiangshi looked at him as he spoke, but there are a lot of women with the surname Huang, and the woman surnamed Huang who has a relationship with you is in the southeast direction.

You're not fooling, are you? Ma Huangmao was excited when he heard this, but he asked as if he didn't believe it.

If it's nonsense, can I get mixed up in the rivers and lakes? The scholar stared at Ma Huangmao's eyes for a long time, and then said, In your past life, you were a monster called "Macroped Ape", and when you were dying, there was a louse crawling around on your body looking for food, and you found it, not only did you not strangle it, but also found a bone to feed it. Because of this good thought, the lice died soon after death and was reincarnated into a woman surnamed Huang, and if you meet her in this life, she will be very good to you.

Ma Huangmao looked at the yellow hair on his body, and touched it with his hand, and said a little unconfidently, I am like this, will there be a woman who can afford it? The Xiangshi said that it is not a matter of looking down on it, but it is also a matter of looking down on it if there is fate.

Is there such a spirit? Ma Huangmao said that he took out some coins from his body and gave it to him, that the minister was too little, took the money and stuffed it on his body while looking at the yellow hair on his body and said, if ordinary people come to see the face, there is more than so much money.

Ma Huangmao thought to himself: Didn't you say at the beginning that what you give is how much? But it was inconvenient to contradict it, so he said, my physical appearance is too weak, great minister, you should help me!

I am also vulnerable, who will help me? The priest was still unhappy and said.

Ma Huangmao turned around and left with an old face, and then went to step on the bicycle, after he delivered a few trips, he was anxious about one thing, that is, according to what Xiangshi said, go along the southeast direction to find a woman surnamed Huang.

He went up to a dike, and on the left side of the embankment was Tian Yuan, and there was a large greenhouse in the distance, and the breeze was blowing, as if he smelled the fragrance of melons and vegetables. On the right is the river, and there is a big river in the distance of the river, called the Yangtze River, which flows eastward, and you can see a little sail shadow.

Ma Huangmao was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery, so he continued to walk forward, hoping that a woman would appear in front of him who could get in touch with him as Xiangshi said.

But there was no one for a long way ahead, and there were a few buffaloes grazing on the grass beach below the embankment, and there were old men and children, of course women among them.

He thought: I can't have any love for the women of the old man and the child! But you can go down and ask.

Ma Huangmao immediately walked under the embankment, but as soon as he approached, several old people and children looked at him with strange eyes, and retreated again and again, some of them as if they were running away.

Ma Huangmao simply stopped and didn't leave, put his hands into a horn barrel, raised his voice and shouted, Hey, what are you running, I'm not a tiger, I'm going to eat you, I'm also a human, but I have more hair on my body.

The children under the embankment were still avoiding, only the old man stood still, still looking at Ma Huangmao. Ma Huangmao looked at an old woman and said, alas, old man, let me inquire about one thing, is there a family surnamed Huang nearby?

No, it doesn't seem to be. The old woman immediately denied her statement, and continued, I don't know very well, if you go a little further ahead, there is a greenhouse, which is rented and planted by outsiders, maybe there is a surname Huang there.

Ma Huangmao turned around and left, approaching the greenhouse, but there was no woman, only to see an old man wearing a straw hat carrying a bucket in one hand and a scoop in the other, watering in the furrow.

Ma Huangmao walked away, the old man was stunned, he had never seen a person with yellow hair on his hands and face, maybe he was afraid that a wild man appeared in front of him, and then instinctively avoided it. Ma Huangmao caught up with a few steps and said kindly, Old man, don't be afraid, I am a human being, and there is no harm to you. I'm just asking you if there's anyone here with the surname Huang.

When the old man heard this, he calmed down and replied, I don't know, I was invited by the owner of this greenhouse vegetable garden to do a part-time job. You go over there and ask. He raised his hand and pointed to a tiled house on the north side of the greenhouse and said, "There is someone in that house, you go and ask."

Ma Huangmao walked straight over, only to see that the door of the house was hidden, he pushed open the door to see, there was no one in the house, and he was about to leave, when suddenly a female voice called, who are you looking for?

Ma Huangmao felt that the words were coming from overhead, so he craned his neck to see a middle-aged woman standing on a floor without a floor slab looking down at him. He replied, I'm not looking for anyone, I just want to ask if there is anyone surnamed Huang here.

There is no one with the surname Huang, only one with the surname Wang. When the woman had said this, she stretched out her hand and grabbed the bundle of dry wood that lay across the pillars of the building, which were made of small branches.

Ma Huangmao turned around and left, and only a few steps later, he heard a sudden sound, as if something heavy had fallen from a height, and then the woman was shouting, someone is coming......

Ma Huangmao went back, only to see a person lying on the building, his body hanging in the air under the building, trembling, she was the woman, maybe the bundle of firewood on the building just now was not done, the bundle of firewood had fallen and was lying on the floor.

Seeing that she was about to lose her support, she would be in danger of falling if she fell.

Ma Huangmao was quick-eyed, moved a ladder against the wall and put it on the building, quickly climbed up, grabbed the ladder with one hand, and held the woman into his arms with the other, so that she could hold the edge of the ladder and come down carefully.

Ma Huangmao was worried that his yellow face had scared the woman, and after the rescue, he was about to leave immediately. But the woman took him by the hand and said, "Thank you, this offspring, and rest!" If it weren't for you, I would have been done just now.

Ma Huangmao saw that she was neither afraid nor repulsed by her hairy body, so he simply helped her move the bundle of firewood that fell from the upper floor to the yard in front of the door, just to inquire again, where is the family surnamed Huang. Before he could speak, the woman thanked him and told him to sit down, saying that she would go to the shed and pick a watermelon for him to eat.

Don't eat, don't eat. Don't pick watermelons, Ma Huangmao took her hand and said, I just want to ask if there is a family surnamed Huang near you.

The woman didn't answer directly, but instead bypassed the topic and asked, why are you looking for someone surnamed Huang?

Ma Huangmao looked down shyly, then looked up at her again, and said the reason intermittently.

The woman hid her face and smiled, and said to him, "I don't know if there is a family surnamed Huang nearby, my surname is Wang, I am a foreigner, and my husband is also a foreigner, and I came here to deal in vegetables."

Saying that, the woman threw a wink at Ma Huangmao, got up and went back to the room and took out 10 hanging money to stuff it to Ma Huangmao, Ma Huangmao began to refuse, the woman said, just when I thank you, if you hadn't been there to help save me, I'm afraid I would have fallen and injured myself, and I sought medical treatment, far more than these 10 hanging money, you just take it!

Ma Huangmao took the 10 yuan, and when she left, the woman gave her a while and said to him, Xiaoma, next time you come, I will definitely pick watermelons for you to eat, and the princess's sister-in-law is still thinking about you.

Ma Huangmao was a little relieved, although he didn't find a woman surnamed Huang, but he was quite polite to him when he got to know the sister-in-law Wang. He touched the 10 copper coins on his body, and felt that there was no loss, and even like touching the hand of his sister-in-law again, there was an indescribable warm taste.
