Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Liu Yichen's doubts are very reasonable.
Zhang Xiaodao was born in the family of the butcher who was the best at killing pigs in Lingyin County, except for the occasional gossip that made people unbounded, his life trajectory was almost the same as that of the same generation of teenagers in the county.
If you want to talk about acquaintances outside the county, except for the few foot merchants who are always foaming at the mouth and covering the sky, he really can't think of anyone else he knows with Xiaodao.
It's just that Liu Yichen, who couldn't figure it out, didn't expect that Zhang Xiaodao had one of the biggest habits since he was a child - sleeping!
Zhang Xiaodao doesn't pay much attention to sleeping, no matter when and where, as long as he has the conditions to sleep, he will not hesitate to close his eyes.
His sleep is also extremely ugly, and he often drools in puddles of saliva, and if he sleeps in winter, his big snot can be lifted in mid-air and condensed into ice.
Zhang An, the butcher father of the knife, once wondered if his son had any disease, and the doctors in the county who knew a little about medicine invited three or four doctors, and the fortune tellers were all invited by him to diagnose the knife.
The county doctor said that it is not a problem that Xiaodao loves to sleep. The fortune teller said that the knife was the reincarnation of the Buddhist sleeping Arhat, but it was a pity that this kind of obvious flattery was ignored by Zhang An, who did not reward a penny more, and waved the fortune teller away with a kitchen knife, and scolded when he came: "Roll the calf, isn't the reincarnation of the monk to cut off the roots of the old Zhang family? ”
Later, this matter ended without a problem, and no one came up with a reason. Only the person concerned, Zhang Xiaodao, knew that he loved to sleep, and he just hoped to see the empathetic girl in his dreams.
This magical dream has never stopped since Zhang Xiaodao came to this world.
He would tell her about the world of tall buildings, airplanes and cannons.
She would also tell him that today, her fierce mother-in-law asked her to sit in front of a stone tablet and watch, and she would be beaten if she didn't see any reason.
Zhang Xiaodao once threatened to use the pig-killing knife at home to scrape the fierce mother-in-law, which made her annoyed and said: "Mother-in-law is very powerful, wait for us to grow up more." ”
After waiting for fifteen years, Xiaodao did not steal the pig-killing knife offered at home to scrape the girl's mother-in-law, but the girl came all the way to Lingyin County.
Looking at Wang Luohan, who was both familiar and unfamiliar, Zhang Xiaodao had a feeling of being in a different world.
Traveling thousands of miles, just to marry you, do you dare to marry?
Is this a multiplicity of camaraderie?
In order to repay this heavy friendship like a mountain, Zhang Xiaodao decided to put on a coat for Wang Luohan first. She was dressed too coolly, after all.
Wearing a knife in the animal skin coat, Wang Luohan did not feel the warmth brought to her by the coat, but there was a warm current in her heart, she secretly thought that love is really magical, and then raised a smile like a flower.
Zhang Xiaodao smirked and pinched Wang Luohan's face with his rough hand, but he didn't speak, as if he was speechless.
The sunset burned the sky, and six sled dogs worked in twos and twos, snorting and pulling three climbing plows to pull the shadows very long.
Zhang Xiaodao, who was sitting on the climbing plow, narrowed his eyes, pointed to the distance and said, "Look, that is Lingyin County over there." ”
Wang Luohan, who was hiding behind the knife, poked her head out, and suddenly felt the cold wind hitting like a knife, but she was reluctant to shrink her head, but she hugged the waist of the knife with both hands harder.
The county town of Lingyin in the distance was reflected in the fiery red of the setting sun at this time, and hundreds of curling smoke rose from the chimneys of the snow houses, drifting away with the wind.
"It's beautiful. Wang Luohan exclaimed.
Zhang Xiaodao replied to the question, and said with a smile: "Sit down." ”
The climbing plow pulled by the sled dog rushed down the gentle slope, and the appearance of Lingyin County gradually enlarged in Wang Luohan's pupils in this emergency.
Crossing the half-human high earth ice barrier wall on the outskirts of the county seat, a big yellow dog at the entrance of the county town wagged its bald tail and barked loudly: "Wangwang!"
The big yellow dog looks like he is greeting guests, but in fact, Zhang Xiaodao and others, who are familiar with the spleen of the big yellow dog, know that this prosperous wealth has long been in love with the bitch pulling the plow.
"Wangcai, go aside. Wang Daniu shouted.
The big yellow dog, known as Wangcai, showed a contemptuous look, turned over and turned over at the place where the climbing plow had to go, and the three climbing plows had to stop.
The seven big dogs full of spirituality barked wildly, as if they were communicating something, Zhang Xiaodao looked at this scene with a smile, and said softly: "I'll go back first, Brother Da Niu, Wangcai, this old perverted dog has to be disciplined and disciplined." ”
Wang Da Niu got off the plow, waved his hand angrily, and said, "You go first, I'll clean it up." As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, and Wangcai ran away when he saw that the big thing was not good.
Wang Daniu, who raised his head, saw that Zhang Xiaodao and his beauty had disappeared from view, and Liu Yichen, who was motionless, locked his eyes at the end of the road, Dong Yao desperately twisted the meat on Liu Yichen's waist, and Liu Yichen exclaimed.
Dong Yao made a small gesture but didn't speak, obviously not wanting to break the matter.
Wang Da Niu muttered, "This ruffian. "Scolding Wangcai, the big yellow dog, happened to be a pun at this time, which made Liu Yichen make a big red face, and when he saw Wang Daniu looking at him with an impermanent expression, he knew that the 'pervert' was not scolding him.
Dong Yao laughed out loud and said, "Let's go, Brother Niu, Xue Hao is still bothering you to send a knife at night, and the job of deboning can only be done by Lao Zhang." ”
"Don't worry, let's go, you two, today I have to catch that ruffian and beat it hard. ”
Liu Yichen didn't dare to answer, and drove the sleigh into the depths of Lingyin County.
Zhang Xiaodao, who took a step early in Lingyin County, carried Wang Luohan all the way, and it was the meal at this time, and every household was cooking smoke wantonly, busy inside and out.
The knife that came with the beauty naturally attracted the attention of the seven aunts and eight aunts, and they waved their hands energetically to say hello, just to see what the woman behind them looked like.
However, Zhang Xiaodao had the intention to show off, and drank all the way, and the sled dog pulled the plow hard and disappeared from people's eyes, leaving behind smiling faces, and holding up gestures that seemed to be greetings but were actually gossip.
The tattered signboard of Zhang's butcher shop quickly came into view, Zhang Xiaodao looked at the shabby compound and smiled: "It's home, it smells big inside, you cover your nose." ”
"Zhang Xiaodao!" shouted and came out of the courtyard where the complacency was frosty.
Zhang Xiaodao smiled and said, "My father, called Zhang An, is a professional butcher." ”
Wang Luohan smiled, and heard a sound of anger coming from the room.
"Cub, do you still know that you are coming back, do you know that the New Year is coming? How many animals Lao Tzu has to kill in a day, I don't know how much I feel sorry for your father at all!"
As the sound became more and more deafening, a fat man wearing a chest bib walked out.
The fat man's face was stained with sweat, and the black bib on his chest was covered with dirty blood, and he had obviously been working, and as soon as he got there, a disgusting smell came to him.
Zhang Xiaodao, who was holding Wang Luohan's soft and boneless little hands, looked at Zhang An's appearance and said, "Dad, there are still three months, you are willing to volunteer for the [widow] woman, Lao Tzu, I am not happy to do it." ”
Zhang An was still listening to the words of the knife at this time, and a pair of eyes that were squeezed into a slit by his face stared at Wang Luohan.
"This Nizi?"
"Your future daughter-in-law. Zhang Xiaodao leaned his neck and straightened his chest, and Wang Luohan, who provoked him, barely held back a smile and said, "Hello, uncle." ”
Wang Luohan's voice was very good, and it was like fairy music in Zhang An's fat ears, his expression began to change, he didn't answer Wang Luohan's polite greeting, and stared at Zhang Xiaodao.
Zhang Xiaodao watched as beads of sweat the size of beans slipped down his father Zhang An's forehead and dripped into the snow on the steps at the gate, and an ominous omen arose.
Suddenly, Zhang An took out the pig-killing knife on his waist and scolded: "Okay, you Zhang Xiaodao, you don't learn, but now you have learned to abduct people!"
Abduction is a dialect in the northeast of Yizhou, meaning human traffickers.
Zhang An's thinking is very simple, he has been killing pigs for more than 40 years since he was born, although he has not seen anything in the world, but he knows that he has a few catties and a few taels, and the fairy-like girl in front of him is too blessed to sigh at a glance.
And now, Zhang Xiaodao is holding someone's hand and saying that he is his daughter-in-law!
The mantra with Zhang Xiaodao is called: "This is not scientific. In Zhang An's opinion, if it weren't for Zhang Xiaodao's crooked ways, this would definitely be impossible.
Seeing Zhang An draw the knife, Wang Luohan hurriedly pulled out the small hand that was held in Zhang Xiaodao's big hand, blocked in front of Zhang Xiaodao, and didn't care about Zhang An's dirty body and grabbed him and said: "Uncle, uncle, don't be like this, do you see that I am not satisfied?"
Zhang An could fully feel Wang Luohan's anxiety, and the pig-killing knife he was holding high was just for show, but why was the qiē in front of him so unreal?
With an anxious look on his face, he didn't think that the fairy he had buried didn't look like she had been abducted, could it be...... Could it be?
Zhang An put down the pig-killing knife stupidly, looked at Zhang Xiaodao's smug appearance not far away, and then looked at the daughter-in-law who couldn't ask for anything in his dreams, and didn't know what to say, so he could only say: "Let's talk about it in the first house." ”
The three of them walked all the way through the storefront, which was full of dirt and a room of blood, and went straight into the backyard.
The backyard is not spacious, except for the snow that is not a scenic spot in Lingyin County, the blue bricks and ink tiles of the ancient houses surrounding the courtyard are much cleaner and more upscale than the shops facing the street.
The three of them walked all the way into the central room, crossed the dilapidated threshold, and Wang Luohan saw at a glance a knife in the center of the wide hall that was held up by a delicate tiger-headed bronze frame, and under it was naturally full of cooked food, melons and fruits.
This knife is slightly longer than the pig-killing knife that Zhang An took out just now, one foot and one inch long, and one palm wide.
The blade is rounded, but the surface is full of dirt, and it looks like it has killed too many animals, and it looks like this no matter how you clean it up. And there is no trace of chill at the blade, and there is no curling edge or notch to be seen. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a kitchen knife!
But Wang Luohan could see at a glance that this knife was extraordinary.
Just as she was waiting for her steps to stop, Zhang Xiaodao smiled: "This is the pig-killing knife I told you to scrape your mother-in-law that was regarded as a treasure." ”
Zhang An immediately said unhappily: "What do you mean by being treated as a treasure? This knife is a treasure knife that has been passed down from the ancestors for ten generations, it is indestructible, and it sharpens iron like clay!"
"It's really amazing. Wang Luohan praised softly.
Zhang Anzhi was complacent, and Zhang Xiaodao had indeed seen the power of this knife, but he still nodded with half of the old man's thoughts: "It's powerful." ”
It's just that Zhang Xiaodao doesn't know that the 'powerful' in his mouth is different from the 'powerful' in Wang Luohan's mouth!
