Chapter 4 Falling Flowers Intentionally

The townsfolk hurriedly climbed around the hillside and descended to the bottom of the ditch, where there was a clear stream and dense woods.

They searched in the woods under the cliff, only found one of Feng Changshui's shoes and saw the blood stains on the rocky mound, they searched around very carefully, shouting to each other, a mess.

Yumei had no tears, just sat on the side of the road in a daze, looking at the bottom of the ditch, she knew very well in her heart that the people who fell from here had little hope of living.

They searched for the bottom of the ditch several times, until it was dark, and they didn't see Feng Changshui, even if the body was good, they didn't find it.

"Probably eaten by wild animals."

"Could it be a leopard?"

"Possibly."

"Why can't you even see a bone?"

"The leopard has great strength, who knows where it goes, such a big mountain forest."

They came up dejectedly, with a strange face after fear, and put the only shoe left in front of Yumei, they looked at Yumei who stayed there without moving, and shook their heads helplessly, extremely sorry, and quietly walked away.

Xiaodouzi was very careful to pull Yumei, but Yumei couldn't live or die, Xiaodouzi couldn't pull it, so Yumei waited here and waited until her father came up.

No one could pull it up, she sat there stubbornly, her eyes kept staring at the bottom of the cliff, she didn't believe that her father was gone.

"Let's go, it's getting dark, and wild animals are coming out to hurt people." Xiaodouzi was anxious and almost cried and persuaded him.

Under Xiaodouzi's hard pulling, Yumei slowly stood up and walked towards the village.

Xiaodouzi was afraid that she would melt like sorbet, so she timidly pulled Yumei, let go of her hand, and then cautiously stretched out and pulled.

Yumei's soul was lost, as numb as wood, without a little consciousness, walking mechanically step by step, her father's voice still flashed in her mind, and she looked back reluctantly, hoping to see her father coming up from the bottom of the cliff.

In the jade carving workshop, Yumei sat quietly on the stool made by her father, without any strength, she looked out of the door, and kept sitting like this, a bowl of rice on the simple table had condensed into a lump.

It's already the next day, she doesn't know how to live in the future, her mind is blank, she hasn't felt a little sleepy for two days and one night, waiting, waiting for her father to suddenly appear in front of her.

The people in the village are scattered or standing or squatting in front of Nianzi's house, and you are discussing Feng Changshui's future affairs one by one:

"Even if it's a shoe, there will be a funeral to bury him, after all, it's a person."

"I can also leave a thought for Yumei in the future, no matter how hateful he was before."

"Hey, β€”β€”, people, it's better to do more good deeds."

"It's so young that it's gone, what happened to those who didn't show their teeth and claws before?"

"What are you talking about? Everyone has their own temperament, and it's time to expose other people's shortcomings? The mill couldn't listen to it, tilted his head and said extremely dissatisfied: "Who will not make some mistakes." ”

"Then what will the jade sister do in the future? It's just an ignorant girl. ”

"Let's settle the aftermath of Changshui first, and then let's talk about it."

Uncle Zhang, an old carpenter in the east of the village, knocked down four thick planks from his own shed and carried it? On it, holding his breath and not saying a word, he picked up the planer and snortedβ€”β€”, swooped β€”β€”, planed out the wood flowers, aiming at the eyes, hitting ink, adzes, and planing .......

Until it was dark, a person made a good coffin, and he didn't bother to eat a bite at noon, he was angry in his heart, and more appropriately said that he hated, when his daughter Zhang Juan was martyred for Feng Changshui, he couldn't swallow this breath.

He grinded and grinded the adze, always at the head of the bed, always thinking about looking for an opportunity to split Feng Changshui alive. Until Feng Changshui went out to work, Carpenter Zhang pretended to go out to find a carpenter's job, and looked around, which was also considered a big life for this kid, until Feng Changshui looked down, and returned to the village with Yumei, Carpenter Zhang's heart gradually softened.

"Retribution, it's really retribution, you deserve it, if you marry my family Juanjuan, where will you go to live like this," the more Carpenter Zhang thought about it, the more angry he became: "Bahβ€”β€”, God has long eyes." ”

Thinking of the days when Juanjuan used to get along with Feng Changshui, looking at a pair of cheerful and happy lovers, Carpenter Zhang showed a joyful smile, not caring too much, after all, he is the person he Juanjuan really loves, and the people are gone, how much can it be worth to put on a few planks, it is just wronged Yumei, it is so pitiful.

Zhang carpenter sitting? On the stone bench, I felt extremely sad when I thought about it.

Since Feng Changshui came back, he often hung some wine and meat on his door, he knew that Feng Changshui had no conscience to hang it, didn't eat the meat, threw it away, gave it to the dog, and gave the wine to the dog to drink, poured the wine on the meat, this scourge, can I eat his meat? Dream on.

It was then that I learned that dogs can also get drunk, and drunk walk like people, staggering, and unsteady on their feet. Thinking about it, tears flowed: "What should I do if I owe you this bastard in my life?" If I don't bury you, who else can there be? ”

Carpenter Zhang wiped away his tears and walked towards the crowded mill's house.

Carpenter Zhang lifted his sleeve, wiped away his tears, blinked, looked at the road under his feet, and walked over.

"Uncle Zhang, is the coffin ready?"

"It's done." Carpenter Zhang nodded, looked at the people around him, and then said to the mill: "Sister Yu, I'll feed you, I'm careful, I can take care of it." ”

Xiaodouzi hurriedly rushed up from the crowd, took the hand of the miller, and said loudly: "Dadβ€”β€”, our family raises Yumei, Yumei and I have said okay, my family will support you." ”

"What do you do with adults? Get out of the way," Mill shook off Xiaodouzi's hand, glared at him sternly, looked at everyone and continued: "According to what Uncle Zhang said, Uncle Zhang is a lonely old man, and he is also old, and he can take care of each other in the future with Yumei." ”

The villagers also nodded with satisfaction.

"It's okay, so everyone will be able to save trouble."

"Yumei is a good girl, she grows up slowly, and she will take care of Uncle Zhang carefully."

Little Bean rushed up again, shaking the arm of the miller, but was kicked by the mill and almost fell to the ground, and the little bean stretched his face, clasped his fingers, and stood aside in frustration.

The coffin was ready, there was only one shoe, Carpenter Zhang was unwilling, looked around, swallowed two saliva liquids, and stopped talking.

"Uncle Zhangβ€”β€”, what else do you have to say? Just say yes. ”

"I thought, wondering if everyone should go up the mountain to look for it again, even if they can find a few bones to bury——。 Carpenter Zhang spread his hands and looked around at the villagers with pleading eyes.

"That's what Uncle Zhang said, then let's put down the work in our hands and look for a few more days."

"Yesβ€”β€”, I don't have anything to worry about."

"Then tomorrow morning, everyone will bring dry food, and let's look for it separately."

It was dark one night, and everyone went home for dinner.

Carpenter Zhang came directly to the jade carving workshop, saw Yumei, and the old tears were rampant, and he went up to take Yumei's hand, with mixed feelings.
