Chapter 2 Xiang Lin'an

Zhang Shanfeng's father, Zhang Laoshi, is a well-known honest person in Sanglin Village, who is honest when he says it sounds good, and timid and afraid when he says it is unpleasant. I don't know if God is blind, when Zhang Laoshi went to Lin'an City to be a chef when he was young, although he didn't make a lot of money, he married a lady in Lin'an City.

That eldest lady is called Qian Susu, and she is really fresh and beautiful. When Zhang Laoshi first brought Qian Susu back to the village, the men in the village thought that she was the reincarnation of Guanyin, and several men even knelt down to worship on the spot.

Later, Qian Susu lived in the village, and although the men in the village didn't say anything, they were very jealous in their hearts. Everyone said that Zhang Laoshi took a big green hat and came back, such a beautiful wife, how can he manage it, he will definitely run away with someone in the end.

On the wedding night, the whole village participated in Zhang Laoshi's wedding, and even the neighbors who were not familiar with him all came, just to witness Qian Susu's beauty. That night, there were so many people listening to the room that they almost collapsed Zhang Laoshi's wooden house. Some people refused to go home even when their wives pulled their ears, and Zhang Laoshi, who had always been honest, finally had no choice but to rush out of the house with a kitchen knife before driving everyone away. That was also the only time in the impression of the villagers that Zhang Laoshi was angry.

Since then, Qian Susu has been squeezed out by other women in the village, and some of the women who are yin and damaged even scolded Qian Susu for being a natural vixen.

Until Zhang Laoshi died suddenly, Qian Susu was also blind, and the scolding of the women in the village still did not stop, saying that she was a husband and wife, and killed the honest Zhang Laoshi. Also, Zhang Laoshi's death is too weird, at first the villagers thought it was Zhang Laoshi who was murdered by Qian Susu and the adulterer, after all, in addition to Zhang Laoshi who died in the room, there were also two unknown man corpses.

Later, people from the imperial court came to the city, and after some investigation, Qian Susu was innocent, but the truth of the matter was not announced, only that Zhang Laoshi was killed and the murderer was dead. This is good, but it also gives the women in the village the capital to gossip, anyway, there are all kinds of rumors, what three men and one woman, cult demon girls and so on.

Maybe God thinks that Qian Susu's life is not bitter enough, Zhang Shanfeng has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and he has to have nosebleeds several times a month. When Zhang Shanfeng was 10 years old, a serious illness burned out his brain and turned him into a "demented child" in the mouth of a villager.

The children in the village often bullied Zhang Shanfeng, calling him an idiot and a wild seed. Fortunately, there are two children, Guo Xiang and Zhang Wenyuan, who help Shanfeng, and can always help Shanfeng drive away the people who bully him.

Shanfeng has liked to listen to the stories of the old man Du in the village since he was a child, although he can't even write his own name, but he can memorize the story of the old man Du like a stream.

Shanfeng likes to tell the story of Old Man Du to others, but other children see him demented and fantasize about becoming a big hero all day long, so they naturally think it is ridiculous. As a result, I want to bully the mountain even more.

But every time Shanfeng was bullied by the children in the same village, he just laughed it off, and he wouldn't tell Qian Susu when he went home, and the next day he would pull those who bullied him to continue to tell them the story told by Old Man Du. Guo Xiang didn't know how many times he scolded Shanfeng because of this, but every time he was half killed by Shanfeng's anger.

Later, Old Man Du fell ill and died, and no one in the village told any heroic stories to Shanfeng. So, Shanfeng ran to the post station on the official road outside the village all day long, and asked people passing by about the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

Because of the "limited IQ" of the mountain peaks, words are often not clear. I often angered passers-by, and I was beaten several times. Later, Guo Xiang was afraid that something would happen to the peak, so he had to take Zhang Wenyuan with him.

One day, the three of Shanfeng had just come back from the post station, and Shanfeng pulled Wenyuan to the well to fetch water for a shower. Guo Xiang ran to Qian Susu's side and helped Qian Susu dry sweet potatoes.

Although Qian Susu couldn't see it, she also knew that it was Guo Xiang who came to help her. He smiled and asked, "Did you have fun today?"

Guo Xiang flattened his mouth and said angrily: "Shanfeng, this guy quarreled with people again today, and he was almost beaten again." Fortunately, Wen Yuan and I quickly pulled him back. ”

Qian Susu was also helpless in her heart, touched Guo Xiang's head and said, "Shanfeng, this kid has caused trouble for the two of you, I'm really sorry for you." A touch of sunset shone on the tips of Qian Susu's hair, setting off Qian Susu's beauty even more beautifully.

Guo Xiang looked back at Qian Susu and thought: Aunt Qian is really beautiful, no wonder my father got drunk and said that he wanted to divorce his mother and marry Aunt Qian home, if I were a man, I would definitely fall in love with Aunt Qian. It is estimated that if Guo Xiang's mother knew her daughter's thoughts at this time, she would definitely be beaten up.

Qian Susu didn't know what Guo Xiang was thinking in his little head, and said, "Xiang'er, Aunt Qian has a favor and wants to ask you for help." ”

Guo Xiang agreed without thinking about it, nodded vigorously, and thought that Aunt Qian couldn't see it, so she said: "If Aunt Qian has anything, Xiang'er will agree, even if I can't do it, I will call my father to help, my father must be a thousand willing." ”

Qian Suwan smiled, Guo Xiang's words were innocent, but it seemed to make people mistaken. "It's not a big deal, I just hope that Xiang'er and Wenyuan can help Shanfeng more, you also know that Feng'er's brain is not very ...... Inspiration can always get into trouble. ”

Guo Xiang immediately replied: "That's nature, we will definitely help Shanfeng." If someone dares to bully Shanfeng, Wen Yuan and I will definitely beat them all over the ground to find their teeth. ”

"Isn't it, Wen Yuan?" Guo Xiang shouted to Wen Yuan, who was taking a shower with the mountain peak by the well. Wen Yuan didn't care what Guo Xiang said, and replied directly: "Okay!"

"Look, Aunt Qian. Wen Yuan and I will definitely protect the mountain. Guo Xiang smiled brightly, with incomparable confidence in her eyes.

Although Qian Susu couldn't see with his eyes, after "staring" at Guo Xiang for a while, he nodded with a smile. "Come, Xiang'er, help Aunt Qian to make noodles, today Aunt Qian will burn your favorite large intestine noodles for you to eat. Oh, by the way, call your mom and dad to eat together. ”

"Okay yes! Aunt Qian's intestine noodles are the best. It's so delicious like no other in the world. Guo Xiang gestured with his hand how big the world's unparalleled was, and rushed home shouting, telling his father and mother not to cook dinner.

As soon as Zhang Wenyuan heard that Qian Susu was going to burn the large intestine noodles, he also dropped the water scoop in his hand and shouted: "Aunt Qian, I want to eat it too!" Qian Susu naturally nodded in agreement, Wen Yuan saw Qian Susu nodding, and immediately rushed home naked, telling his parents that he was not at home for dinner today.

Zhang Shanfeng was also very happy when he heard his mother say that he wanted to burn large intestine noodles to eat, knowing that his mother would only cook it for him on his birthday.

"Could it be that today is my birthday?" Zhang Shanfeng was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't remember what day it was today, and he couldn't remember what day it was his birthday, so he had to give up. "Whatever, just eat it with large intestine noodles. In other words, Old Man Du seems to have told the story of the fish intestine sword, I wonder if there will be a sword in the large intestine?"

Thinking about it, Zhang Shanfeng also dropped the water scoop and ran home, turning over the pig intestine that Qian Susu had just washed, but he couldn't find any large intestine sword. Naturally, Zhang Shanfeng also had two more bags on his head, which were knocked by Qian Susu.

A few villagers passing by kept their saliva and went home unwillingly. They also wanted to eat Qian Susu's roasted intestine noodles, but since they ate it at Zhang Laoshi's funeral, they never had a chance to eat it again.

They only scolded a few words in their hearts, and the stinky lady in their own family not only looked inferior to Qian Susu, but even her cooking skills were not as good as a woman who was originally a lady in the city. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and when I got home, I naturally had a big fight with my wife.

In the evening, when Zhang Shanfeng and others were eating Qian Susu's roasted large intestine noodles at home, they heard the cries of several men outside who were beaten by their wives and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

Probably fate tortured Qian Susu too much, and a year later, when Zhang Shanfeng was 16 years old, Qian Susu fell ill and died.

On the day of Qian Susu's funeral, people from the village came to help. The women finally stopped their resentment towards Qian Susu, but they all started crying, saying that Qian Susu was a good person, and it was simply Guanyin who was alive.

Also, in the past, when the village handed over the official grain, the people who were dissatisfied with it went to Zhang Laoshi to borrow it, and Zhang Laoshi naturally agreed, and Qian Susu had no objection, but would give more, for fear that after the villagers paid the official grain, they would not have enough food for a while.

That day, Zhang Shanfeng didn't smile as usual, but didn't say anything, and finally cried a lot and fell asleep in Guo Xiang's arms. However, there were many people who cried more fiercely than Zhang Shanfeng that day, and all of them were bachelors in the village.

A month later, 16-year-old Zhang Shanfeng made a decision. He decided to leave Sanglin Village and go to the capital city of Lin'an to have a look. Just like his father, who brought back Qian Susu, Zhang Laoshi has already become a legend in the history of Sanglin Village. What about Zhang Shanfeng?

"Don't look at other girls when you go to Lin'an City!" Guo Xiang said angrily with one hand on his waist and one hand on Shanfeng's ear. She actually wanted to walk with Shanfeng, but her parents refused. Also, Guo Xiang was only 14 years old at this time, although in that era, girls could get married at the age of 13 or 14, but 14 years old was still too young, how could her parents rest assured that she would go out and follow the mountain peak to the rivers and lakes, and Shanfeng was still a person with a bad brain.

"No, none of them are as good as you, and I definitely don't look at them. Zhang Shanfeng replied with a smirk, in fact, Sanglin Village now counts Guo Xiang, there are only three women under the age of 30, and the other two are just full moon and the other is only 3 years old, and they haven't grown up. Zhang Shanfeng didn't know if Guo Xiang was really good-looking, there was no comparison at all.

Guo Xiang heard Shanfeng say this, and then let go of Shanfeng's ears with satisfaction, but he thought in his heart that he would not be able to see Shanfeng for a long time, and tears rolled in his big round eyes.

Zhang Wenyuan looked at Guo Xiang desperately trying not to cry, silently walked to Shanfeng's side, patted Shanfeng's shoulder and said: "Shanfeng, be careful on the road, be careful on the road, be careful about the bad guys, my father said that the people outside are very treacherous, not as simple as the people in our village." Although he has only been here with his parents for about four years, he has been playing with Guo Xiang and Shanfeng for the past four years, so he is naturally worried about Shanfeng. Shanfeng's brain is a little bad, and it is too easy to be deceived, should he also go out of the mountain with Shanfeng? Zhang Wenyuan looked back at Guo Xiang, but still gave up this idea.

"Well, you have to take care of Guo Xiang too. After Shanfeng and Wen Yuan hugged each other, they walked towards the outside of the village. Guo Xiang, who was standing in place with open hands and hadn't reacted yet, looked at the back of the mountain peak, and finally couldn't help crying.

"I don't need him to take care of it! Zhang Shanfeng, you idiot, you listen to me, if you don't come back for the rest of your life, I will wait for you for the rest of my life." Guo Xiang shouted at the back of the mountain peak, tears falling from his big eyes as if he didn't want money.

The villagers who watched the excitement were all laughing, whistling, and looking at Guo Xiang's parents jokingly. I thought to myself that this daughter of yours is really a money-loser, she can find a good man at such a young age, but her vision is really not good, why did she fall in love with an idiot.

Zhang Wenyuan looked at Zhang Shanfeng's back, and then looked at Guo Xiang, who was more than two heads shorter than him, and his heart was very complicated.

Guo Xiang's parents looked at the back of the mountain peak and silently prayed in their hearts, hoping that the parents of the mountain peak would bless the mountain in the spirit of heaven. They knew that Guo Xiang had such a good reason for Shanfeng, but they didn't understand why they didn't tell Guo Xiang about it, but Guo Xiang seemed to know about it a long time ago?

Finally, the back of the mountain peak could not be seen, and the villagers who were whistling just now stopped making noise, staring at the place where the back of the mountain peak disappeared.

"In this era, he is the only one in the village who dares to go out and break through. One of the villagers muttered.

"yes, only fools want to go out. ”

There was no response, and the villagers stared blankly at the rising sunrise ahead.

The children who had bullied the mountain peak only then came out from behind their parents, looking at the place where the mountain peak's back disappeared, and said nothing.

What are we expecting in these dark times, even if the goal of expectation seems ridiculous?

Or is it more ridiculous that we are expecting it?
