1 Chapter 1
Huailing Village is going to have a happy event, and it is still a happy event for Tian Yao, an older brother who can't marry in the village.
Tian Yao couldn't get married, not because of his bad character or any other defects, but because of the strength of the body he was born with.
A few years ago, a matchmaker brought Langjun Zhao Qing from a neighboring village to come to the door to say goodbye, Tian Yao in line with the mentality that the visitor was a guest, he warmly entertained them, and the people in the village who watched the excitement felt that Tian Yao acquiesced to this family affair, and they all gave Tian Yao a happy visit.
Tian Yao didn't particularly like it, but he just thought that getting married was like that, and he could just give his father an explanation.
It's just his attitude that makes Zhao Qing feel that Tian Yao has to be him, and he knows that he has no father or mother, lives alone, and wants to save a bride price with his mother at home, so he sneaked into Tian Yao's room at night, but was beaten half to death by Tian Yao, and injured his life.
Naturally, the family affair is not successful, Tian Yao is not too sad, but the family is dependent on Tian Yao, saying that if he does not marry his family, he will lose money, Tian Yao naturally does not want to marry, so he can only lose money to settle the matter, but it is a pity that he has saved for two or three years and is ready to renovate the house Thirteen taels of silver.
But Zhao Qing couldn't be humane after being beaten by Tian Yao, and he held a grudge, so he spread some false news about Tian Yao everywhere, saying that he was a father and mother, and maybe he would be Kefu in the future, and said that he was born like a yaksha, with a green face and fangs, Rao is always explained by the people in the village, but because it was spread too widely, Tian Yao was like this in the eyes of others. Over time, Tian Yao's family affairs were put on hold.
In the summer and autumn, Tian Yao fell ill, and the already not wealthy family was even worse, if he didn't get up well, I was afraid that he would freeze to death this winter.
He had been sick for several days, and he had eaten the herbs at home for several days, and finally he was a little more relaxed, so that he could get up and prepare to go up the mountain to see if there was anything to be gained from the trap he had made before he was sick.
As soon as he changed his clothes, he heard someone call him, it was Aunt Shun who came here to hoe the grass: "Brother Yao'er, the village chief asked you to go to his house for a mile." ”
Tian Yao lives in the deepest part of Huailing Village, and has little intersection with the village chief on weekdays, the last time he was approached by people from the neighboring village, the village chief took the village man to support him, he always wanted to thank him for coming, but he was sick, and it was not good to give the village chief after the illness, so he never went.
The village chief didn't look for him easily, Tian Yao wondered, but he still found a few remaining eggs from the empty house, and went to the village chief's house with a sneak. The village chief's family lives in the middle of Huailing Village, which is the first blue brick house in the village.
"Village Chief, are you looking for me?"
Tian Village Chief looked at Tian Yao, his face was so thin that his face was out of shape, he took the cigarette pouch and took a deep breath: "How are you doing lately?" ”
"It's good." Tian Yao was a little confused, in his impression, the village chief always had a black face and never greeted him.
"That's right, I have a family business here, see if you want to." The village chief didn't say much nonsense, it stands to reason that he needs to invite a matchmaker to come to the door, but Tian Yao has no father or mother, and his reputation is not good, so the village chief doesn't care about so many courtesies.
"Huh?" Can pie still fall from the sky? Tian Yao looked at the egg in his hand and felt that this gift was still a little too light.
"It's just a point, his legs and feet are useless, it's not that you marry him, it's him who comes to your door and makes you a son-in-law." The village chief took another hard puff of his cigarette, his face was dark, and he always looked at people as if he were glaring at them.
"Is there such a good thing?" Tian Yao looked at the village chief with some distrust, "Can this kind of good thing fall on me?" ”
It's not that Tian Yao has low self-esteem, but it's because the previous family spread his reputation too badly, and even people in Huailing Village who were not familiar with him listened to this rumor, causing his marriage to be delayed for too long.
When the little dad was dying, he told him that it would be best to have a person who was happy with each other, although he had taught Tian Yao to be self-reliant enough, but he still didn't want him to work too hard alone, so he also thought that he could find someone to take care of him in the future.
It's a pity that no one comes to the door to say goodbye now.
The village chief choked on the cigarette, this Tian Yao is not as soft as a brother, and he has a lot of strength, and he is not as reserved and shy about marriage as an ordinary brother, as if he can't wait.
"I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, if you want to, you can bring people back today." The village chief took the cigarette stick, "I said in front, you bring the people back, just treat them well." ”
It seems that Tian Yao is the man, and the one who wants to marry him is the brother.
"This, this is too rushed." Tian Yao waved his hand again and again, "I didn't prepare anything, what, I have to prepare it." ”
The village chief thought about it for a while, and then said: "Then you bring people back today, tomorrow I see that the days are good, it is appropriate to marry, just do things tomorrow, I will find a few aunts to help you." ”
"Is it in such a hurry?" Tian Yao scratched his head, "Village Chief, you shouldn't be trying to trick me, right?" ”
"What do you have to make me cheat?" The village chief made a straight face, "I think it's better to choose someone you can control than waiting for others to introduce you to some unreliable people." ”
Tian Yao was a little surprised, he had nothing to do with the village chief, and he didn't know that he was suddenly thinking about himself like this.
After the village chief spoke, someone carried the man out, and he was lying on a wooden board in a bit of embarrassment, his hair was already knotted, covering most of his face, and Tian Yao could only see his bloodless lips and bruised neck.
"Except for a broken leg, there was nothing wrong with it." The village chief looked at Tian Yao, "Can you bring people back?" ”
Tian Yao squatted down, still couldn't see his face covered by his hair, he raised his head and asked, "Village Chief, you can't be the one who abducted you from somewhere, right?" ”
"Phew." The village chief quenched him, "It's the family that is in trouble, he is the only one, so he must give people a way to live." ”
Maybe it was only him who made Tian Yao's heart tremble, and he grabbed a handful of hair: "Okay, then I'll take people back now?" ”
"Take it back, pick it up well, and finish it tomorrow, and settle a matter of your father and your little father."
Tian Yao sighed, he didn't know if the man was asleep or awake, he leaned over, and he smelled a sour smell, and he didn't know what this wooden board and that mattress should be dirty.
"Big strong brother, take a hand." Tian Yao pinched his nose and lifted the mattress, asked Tian Dazhuang to put the person on his back, and just carried the person away.
Watching Tian Yao carry people away, Tian Dazhuang looked at his father: "Dad, you are pushing Brother Yao into the fire pit." ”
The village chief picked up the cigarette pouch again, took a hard puff, looked outside the wall, there was no one left, and then he whispered: "That's also a human life, Brother Yao is a good one, those people just saw Brother Yao'er's reputation spread like that, so they asked me to call Brother Yao'er." ”
Tian Dazhuang scratched his head, a little incomprehensible, but he didn't ask again.
Yu Nian was lying on Tian Yao's not too thick back, and he was still holding a hairpin in his palm, and one side of the hairpin was extremely sharp.
The first nineteen years of his life were arbitrary and casual, his father and mother were rich merchants in the original Cangfu, and he was in the limelight, but he was a big man, because a batch of tribute tributes went wrong with his father's hand, and his father and mother went to prison.
When he was expelled from the Yuancang Mansion, he met their Yu family's enemy, Feng Zhe had always looked at him unpleasantly, and once he was in trouble, Feng Zhe tried his best to insult him, first broke his hamstrings, and then let people send him here.
Feng Zhe knew that he was arrogant, so he wanted to crush all his pride, and at the village chief's house, he lay on the plank like a livestock, listening to them judge him, and finally made a deal and was carried on his back by this person.
The distance between the village chief's house and Tian Yao's house is not close, even if he is carrying a man with a height of eight feet, Tian Yao still walks like a fly, and he doesn't even take a breath of air.
Tian Yao put people on his bed, he lived by himself, the house was still built by his father and his little father, two brick houses, one was used as a bedroom, the other was originally he slept when he was a child, and now it is used to pile up sundries, on the side of the yard is a shed, which is used for cooking, and not far from the house, there is a small space made of bricks, which is his family's thatched house.
Other villagers in Huailing Village, their families do not build thatched houses alone, and they think that there is no need for that, but because Tian Yao's little father is a very clean person, his father built a separate thatched house for him, Tian Yao remembers, at that time, his father was also ridiculed by the people in the village, saying that he was afraid that he was afraid of his daughter-in-law and lost his manhood, but his father just laughed honestly.
Tian Yao brought people back, thinking that they were suffering from the same disease, they were all people who had lost their parents, and if they couldn't be husband and wife, if Tian Yao hadn't brought him back, he didn't know if he would have survived.
My father told him since he was a child that he should do good deeds, even if he can't get anything in return, he just wants his peace of mind.
He put the person on the bed and went to the small shed to boil hot water by himself, and now that it was autumn, he still had to wash the person.
Fortunately, he lives in the depths of the village, so he does not have to share the well with the villagers, and the water he uses is all drawn down from the mountains, saving him a lot of trouble in carrying water.
The small shed in the stove room is not big, an earthen stove, a small cabinet for dishes and chopsticks, and a large water tank, Tian Yao sat by the stove, the heat rose, and he sighed.
And at this time, Yu Nian was lying on the bed, the bed was very soft, he hadn't slept in such a comfortable bed for a long time, that brother moved him back and disappeared, he went all the way from the original Cangfu to here, someone brought him into this village, Feng Zhe knew that he didn't like his brother, so he wanted him to be a son-in-law.
When he was sober, he heard those people talking about this brother, saying that he had a green face and fangs, that he was vulgar, that before he was married, men came in and out of his room at night, saying that he was poor and that his bed board could be used as firewood.
In order to humiliate him, Feng Zhe was able to find such a brother, which can be regarded as a waste of thought.
Tian Yao moved the bath bucket into the house, added hot water to it bucket by bucket, and when it was almost done, he found another knife and walked in front of Yu Nian.
He played the knife neatly, and soon cut off all the knotted hair of Yu Nian, and slowly saw Yu Nian's face clearly.
He was very thin, his whole face seemed to be drained, even his cheekbones were protruding, his eyes were gloomy, and he looked a little scary.
Tian Yao wiped the dirt off his face with a handkerchief, in addition to being thin, in fact, this person is very good-looking, if he raises it, he should be a beautiful man.
Tian Yao looked at Yu Nian, Yu Nian was also looking at Tian Yao, he thought that Tian Yao would be like what they said, he was a brother with a full face and ugly appearance, but he found that his eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, and his face was ordinary at first glance, but the more he looked at it, the more comfortable it became.
"Although it is said that the body is affected by the skin, but your hair is too much of a hindrance, and it can't be combed smoothly, so you can only cut it." Tian Yao said as he started his hands, and quickly trimmed his messy hair into obedience.
After finishing his hair, Tian Yao stretched out his hand to unbutton his clothes, not knowing his brother's reserve at all.
Yu Nian held down his hand, but Tian Yao's strength was very strong, and he let go of his hand and continued to explain: "You should wash your body." ”
Yu Nian hadn't spoken for a long time, he moved his lips, but he didn't make a sound, and tried again before he said, "No." ”
"Nope." Tian Yao had a tough attitude and did not accept his refusal.
Yu Nian really didn't have the strength, so he could make Tian Yao take off his clothes and pick up his pants again.
This time, Yu Nian didn't follow him anymore, just grabbed his trouser belt, and the intention of refusing was obvious.
"Have you ever seen a shower without washing your lower body?" Tian Yao wiped his sweat, "Besides, we are about to get married, are you still afraid that I will look at you?" ”
This brother really has no shame at all!
Tian Yao took advantage of his inattention and tore off his pants, and at first glance he didn't see anything that shouldn't be seen, but he saw that one of his legs had bedsores, and those legs were swollen, and the bedsores were born on them, which was extremely ugly.
And Yu Nian also noticed his gaze, but he couldn't do anything, he could only expose his legs to his gaze, he looked up again, but he didn't see disgust in Tian Yao's eyes, only a little helpless, and then immediately became firm.
"It's still dead." Tian Yao muttered to himself, and finally stripped the person inside and out, and then put it in the bath tub.
Yu Nian hadn't bathed for a long time, and when he entered the warm water, he let him sigh for a long time, Tian Yao was unequivocal, found the fragrant pancreas, and helped him wash his hair first, and he didn't say a word when he worked, and he broke up his hair sullenly and combed it well.
After washing his hair, he wrapped it in a cloth towel and rubbed his back again.
His hands were not soft, and a thick layer of calluses on his palms soon rubbed a layer of red marks on Yu Nian's back, but he finally knew that he was ashamed, and he didn't help him wash his lower body, so he let him come by himself.
The water was changed twice in the middle of the bath, and Tian Yao washed him up and down.
He changed the bed that Yu Nian had been lying on just now into a mattress, and then hugged Yu Nian to the bed.
His clothes couldn't be worn for a long time, so he found a piece of his father's clothes that barely fit.
The upper body was dressed, but the lower body was still empty, Tian Yao found some medicinal materials from the utility room on the other side, took a spoon, crushed the medicine, and finally applied it to Yu Nian's bedsores.
moved the bathtub out again, and then sat back at the head of the bed, and talked to him while helping Yu Nian wipe his hair.
"My name is Tian Yao, I have no father or mother at home, at home, just like what you see." If you want to get married, you always have to let people know the situation at home, he is actually quite satisfied with this person, thin, and you can get fat back by raising it.
Yu Nian's eyes were very cold, and Tian Yao realized that maybe Yu Nian didn't want to marry him.
