Volume 1 Native Folk Thoughts Chapter 3 Marriage
It is said that this prescription does not need grass or medicine, let alone strange and rare primers and prescriptions, only two ducks need to be prepared, and let the ducks straighten their tongues and lick the poisonous sores on their faces.
According to the recommender, it is necessary to get a watery free-range duck, which pecks at aquatic plants, snails and hairy fish, and is cold in nature, facing the poisonous fever lesions on Wang Dashi's face.
This folk prescription is very miraculous and very strange, Wang Lichang heard it reasonably, and set out to do it.
As a result, Wang Dashi's pinprick cry could be heard every morning and evening......
In the meantime, Wang Dashi struggled to break free, pushed the long-haired and strange duck neck, and beat the hard-shelled mouth, which only made Wang Lichang more angry, and only made the onlookers and children laugh. Wang Lichang slapped him a few times until he no longer moved, pulled the duck's head, picked out the duck's tongue and smeared it on his face......
From that moment on, Wang Dashi realized that life did not belong to him, like a blind dog tied to a leash, at the mercy and toss, and from then on, he felt that the world was fearful and sad......
When a child who has just learned knowledge has no time to explore and understand, he will face and experience the familiar and strange teasing and ridicule around him...... This forced him to be thoughtful and suspicious, and he should not be on the occasion. He was stupid, he was stunned......
In this way, half a month has passed, and a month has passed...... From the frightened crying and screaming at the beginning to the absence of crying and screaming, from the rare expression of the onlookers in the village to the expression of no one watching anymore, from the discussion in the village to everything as usual, from two live ducks being tossed to death...... Time is passing, things are changing, but the sore has not been removed.
Wang Lichang really has no choice, sometimes he hates the sky, sometimes he hates the earth, and sometimes he hates himself. He thought carefully that he had built a wooden bridge with his own hands, and was promoted to the governor, and later had a daughter-in-law, and glorified the village, but since he had chosen a baby, his daughter-in-law died, and the flood washed away the wooden bridge...... These funerals and bad luck all happened after the child was chosen.
Wang Dashi touched the year and caught Zhou Buji, which means that the luck is not good, it is not a system, and the old Chitose is not allowed to enter the village genealogy and genealogy.
From time to time, Wang Li wondered in his heart: "Shouldn't you really choose this child......?"
He knew that this child's fate was not good, but he never gave up.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Dashi was eighteen years old.
When he grew up, Wang Dashi was burly and strong, tall and straight, but his personality was easy-going and cowardly, and the clothes he wore on weekdays were shabby and untidy, and he really looked pickled. He acts too dutifully, realistically, and is a straight brain who can't turn around, so more people call him Wang Dahan and Wooden Stake. At the beginning, he picked up the green stone, and the tenacity and perseverance of the stone were not reflected in him at all...... Everything backfired.
The sixth day of the sixth month of June is an auspicious day, and several firecrackers rang out at noon, indicating that the neighbors have a happy event again. Seeing that the young people of the same age at the head of the village have already had a marriage contract or a marriage match, and the husband who divorced his wife and lost his wife has also remarried (remarried), even if they are not careful, they can accompany their daughters-in-law, plough the land and arch the fields, and it has become a family road...... Counting, among the same age in the village, only Wang Dashi is sparsely rooted, like a lone tree in the barren land, not in a system.
Wang Dashi feels that marriage is a major event, it is better to marry a daughter-in-law and have children, start a family, this party enters the village genealogy, enters the temple, so there is no need to provoke the joke of the village head and the end of the village.
He himself knows that his family is ruined, his appearance is ugly, and he is afraid that time will flicker, and when he is older, he will turn cucumbers into cucumbers, and cucumbers will pickle pickles, not to mention ruining the happiness of his life, and cutting off the family's incense, which is considered a crime of unfilial piety. Whenever after tea and dinner, he thinks about grinding one casually, even if it is a little defective, as long as he can wash clothes and make a fire to cook. But he is stupid, how to contact women, whose daughter can look at it.
Wang Dashi's idea is exactly what Wang Lichang wants. One day, Wang Lichang drank wine and said to him: "You can't live according to the way I live in this life, and when you were young, you were idle and delayed your youth." In this life, when you are young, you are rooted, and your roots are firmly rooted, and you can become a good person, but you can't be like me, wandering idlely, you have to live like a sweet potato in the field. ”
Wang Dashi has always remembered Wang Lichang's words, even if he doesn't understand or don't know how to live, a few times he went down to the field to pick up the nest of sweet potatoes with his own hands, and lifted the sweet potatoes one by one and looked at them in a daze, except for its big size and real weight, it seemed that he couldn't see through anything.
He knew he had grown up and that he needed to do something on his own.
But......
However, I am a big rock, a big stone that smells and is stupid. His arrest made the village and the village a joke, his fate could not be close to the fear of people, and the strange sores on his face looked strange and ugly...... In addition to himself, Wang Lichang's idleness and boredom, lack of work, and poverty and disability of his family all affected his psychology, making him arrogant and depressed.
He often kept his head down, and did not even dare to raise his eyes to look at people, and he often hid in a side house, and did not leave the hospital for three or five days, and he seemed to be isolated from the world.
Men should get married, women should get married, daughters-in-law and children will last a lifetime, this is a big thing that everyone needs to experience in life.
But Wang Dashi was afraid, he was afraid of everyone in the village, he was afraid of every woman, he didn't know how to talk to people, even if there was only one word in that sentence.
He didn't want to count on the king for everything, but inside and out, the king didn't ask much about things.
During this period of time, Wang Dashi entrusted the matchmaker, and the matchmaker helped him search around, when he learned that it was Wang Dashi from Gu'anzhai Village, he waved his hand directly, and even the woman's parents scolded the matchmaker's eyeballs falling into the crotch of her pants, and even took a needle to sew the matchmaker's eyelids...... These made Wang Lichang even more worried, without a trace of confidence, and also made Wang Dashi frightened.
Should I be alone for the rest of my life?
After matchmaking, I finally found a family.
The Ma woman of this family is virtuous, sixty years old, once married to a family, has two sons and a daughter under her knees, and her ex-husband died in a foreign place.
This woman has leprosy, when she is sick, she nods her head and spits yellow water, lifts her clothes and rubs her back and tickles, and it is rumored that the husband of the Ma woman was frightened by leasis at night and climbed the wall and fell to his death.
Wang Dashi was unwilling.
Wang Lichang didn't agree at first, but when he calmed down, he thought that his family was poor and the child was boring and naïve...... After continuous comparison and speculation, I finally reluctantly agreed.
Wang Dashi could only obey.
After all, the Ma woman was a widow with a dead husband, three children, and leprosy. Wang Dashi has no ability, his face is ugly, and he is a little honest, but he is young, steady and obedient, and he is a person who can be relied on. The neighbors and relatives said that they were persuaded and compared with each other, and felt that the conditions of the two were average, and the ugly donkey and the dwarf mule were accommodating to each other!
After Ma's parents saw Wang Dashi, they acquiesced to this family business in their hearts.
After the matchmaker's threading and good words, Wang Dashi got acquainted with the Ma women, and within a few months, they were married.
