Body 35, Empty Village
"Will ---" Tao Hong couldn't think of any other way, the house was surrounded by walls, and he didn't even want to find some wood, so he smiled helplessly.
Huo Dao hugged her in his arms and said with a smile: "You are a woman, you can't always rush to the front by yourself, with a man like me, why don't you want to use it?"
Tao Hong swung and pushed his body, feeling very unnatural, or deliberately excluding him: "Don't be like this, we are not so familiar."
Huo Dao was surprised that he hadn't seen him for a day, and he couldn't bear to ask: "What's wrong with you—how have you become stranger?"
After struggling for a long time, but he couldn't win Huo Dao, Xu Fang sighed and scolded: "It's because of you that my sister and I have become strangers." I'm just such a sister--- such an amiable person, what do you let people do".
"Tao Bi--- how can he be so selfish?" Huo Dao blurted out.
Tao Hong glanced at Huo Dao, pouted angrily, waved his hand and smashed him, and scolded: "Don't talk about my sister like this, she used to love me."
Huo Dao's eyes widened, shook his head and sneered: "Actually, I knew you a few years ago, she took you to listen to the Taoli Cottage--- always showing a look that could not be seen, you comb the two Xiao Zhi always look like her followers, more like a scholar, let you do any work."
Speaking of which, Tao Hong was first happy and ashamed, and said with a smile: "You still recognize me as ---."
Huo Dao thought back to the past, couldn't bear to smile stupidly, and said: "Waste, it's only been a few years, how can you not remember, you were like a tomboy at that time, you were not afraid of the sky--- but the appearance is quite pleasant, Park Shan has a pair of big eyes, and he keeps laughing with the heartless stupid girl all day long, and he is always called by your sister, and I am anxious for you."
"How can there be ---" Tao Hong blushed and lowered her head, suddenly looked up at Huo Dao and asked: "Then do you remember, that year, you were nine years old, I was eight years old, robbed my red belly pocket to go to the bullfight--- and then the cow was led to the ditch and died."
Huo Dao pushed Tao Hong and smiled: "I have no conscience, that's not to save you--- that mad cow went crazy when he saw your red belly."
"Go back to your big spanking," Tao Hong still smiled happily.
Huo Dao squeezed a bitter face and said, "I hit, but it hurts - there are still scars."
"I'm less poor, how many years have I had, how can there be scars" Tao Hong smiled stupidly.
"Don't believe it---" Huo Dao pulled his belt even more dryly, and said with a smile: "Why don't you take a look at ---."
"I don't look at it, I'm ashamed" Tao Hong deliberately turned her face away, but she was hugged more tightly by Huo Dao.
At that time, Tao Hong was innocent, her mother was still healthy, and her family was not bad, and she was like a crazy girl, she was very straightforward and straightforward, and she was not bent, so she often offended people. At that time, Huo Dao took a group of wild children to play crazy in the peach blossom forest, but he always helped her not to be bullied, so in Tao Hong's heart, he was different, daring to do it, and even more lawless. However, Tao Hong is not the person who can be bullied at will, he is like a tomboy all day long, fighting with others.
And her Ah Da Tao is a real Zhuang family, inheriting the wine shop that has been passed down for generations, conscientiously and conscientiously, not fighting with others, and the days are dull but also solid, but there are always people who don't want him to live too plainly, after several temptations, he slowly smoked a big cigarette, fell in love with the gambling house, and had no intention of family business, it was completely a hands-off shopkeeper, and let his mother-in-law and aunt run it alone.
She was only fourteen years old at the time, but her mother left them behind, perhaps overworked, and repeated persuasion to no avail, perhaps discouraged, and unable to remember. Tao Bi's ten fingers are not touched by the lord of the spring water, taking care of her own flowers and moon appearance, and she is always a rich lady. Or according to her: a woman? If you marry a good family, you will have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.
Ruoda's family business fell on Tao Hong's shoulders like this, and he struggled to support it. Not only did Taugan not reflect on it, but he became Bengali smoking a big cigarette, visiting gambling halls, losing his family business, and closing down the winery. It wasn't until Tao Hong became an adult that he took over the power and took charge of this already dilapidated home.
For several years, I have been staying up like a day, and every time I am in pain, I will always secretly pick up the red belly pocket, look at it, and pluck up courage.
The two talked about their childhood, playfully pushing and pulling ambiguously, and drove to the cow dung mountain, Huo Dao lifted the curtain of the sky, and shouted: "Go to Erdan's house to rest first."
"Don't make trouble, I still have to go up the mountain to cut wood?" Tao Hong was surprised, looking at the rising sun, and hurriedly objected.
Huo Dao didn't care what she thought, and said with a smile: "I have prepared a --- for you."
"Ready--- Tao Hong asked in surprise, "Where is it, why don't I know."
Huo Dao lightly tapped her forehead and smiled: "You don't understand, or are you stupid, can you build a house with freshly cut wood?"
"Hmph---" Tao Hong snorted coldly, if she didn't know this, how could Luo Kaishan not know, she had already discussed it before going out, but winemaking can't be done, and the winery must be reorganized first. This is also a helpless move.
Huo Dao smiled: "Don't think about it, you can pull as much of my ready-made wood as you want from the horse farm."
"It's really ---" Tao Hong was overjoyed, but her face turned cold, and she bowed her head and said: "I don't want it, it's yours, it's not mine--- I don't want to owe you too much favor."
"It's still you and me--- are you going to smash your open flame, so that you won't be so strange" Huo Dao was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"You dare to ---" Tao Hong snorted softly, but blushed and lowered his head, but seeing that Huo Dao was a little disliked, he also felt that it was too much, so he twisted his head against him and smiled: "It's really stingy,---."
"Okay, can't I use it?" Tao Hong smiled, but followed again: "Count me borrowing your --- and pay it back later."
Huo Daotu hugged him into his arms again, and said with a smile with that greedy eye: "What do you use to pay off --- human debt."
"Think --- beautiful," Tao Hong scolded, but it was a beautiful appearance, bowed his head shyly, and muttered softly: "When my sister marries into Ganquan Village, I will talk about --- when my life is stable."
"When will it be---" Huo Dao couldn't wait, he couldn't wait for her, he couldn't accept her immediately.
At this time, Huo Gang, who was riding alone, turned back and shouted: "Fifth brother, this tunzi is very strange, it seems that there are only old people, women and children in the village, ---."
Seeing that it is the end of the year, and the heavy snow covers the mountains, and the weather is freezing in the season, the strong laborers should be idle at home, helping to lock things, and lifting the door curtain to help Tao Hong get out of the car together.
Looking at the valley buried by the heavy snow in front of him, especially the dozens of farmers under the hill, there are still a few smokes, but it is difficult for anyone to walk in front of the house and behind the house.
"Let's go, let's go into the village and ask" Huo Dao held Tao Hong's hand, and he didn't let go, and walked towards the village.
After a long time, I saw an old man, with silver hair flying, his face wrinkled like pine bark squeezed together, squatting on a stone slab in front of the house to sweep away the snow slightly, and smoking a dry cigarette. Seeing them coming, he was a little flustered but didn't get up, just glanced at them coldly, and looked very unwelcome.
Huo Dao stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Uncle, what about the people in your village?"
"Not in ---" the old man choked two words.
Huo Dao asked, "Where did you go---?"
"I don't know ---," the old man stabbed even more coldly.
Huo Gang's fiery temper was so fierce that he slapped the wall of the house with the horsewhip, took a few steps closer, glared at the old man viciously and shouted: "The old thing that doesn't have long eyes, the fifth master of Ganquanzhai talks to you--- you don't know how to greet it, and you still pose a coffin face to face, your family is dead."
"Gangzi, don't be so ignorant of etiquette" Huo Dao pushed Huo Gang away and asked modestly: "Uncle, we have no malicious intentions."
As soon as they heard the movement, women and children came out in groups in front of and behind the house, each with helplessness and grievances on their faces. looked at them as if watching a play, and it took a long time for an old woman to run a few steps and say, "Don't be afraid, they are indeed the --- of Ganquan Village."
Pointing at Huo Gang: "He is the sixth young master of the Huo family---." And looking at Huo Dao, he knows it, but he doesn't dare to be sure.
Xu Yu said in surprise: "You are Huo Dao, the fifth young master of the Huo family."
Huo Dao nodded and said, "It's me--- you are."
"I'm --- on the second day," the old woman complained with tears on her face.
Huo Dao hurriedly took two steps forward to greet him, and saluted: "It turned out to be Aunt Niu--- what about the others?"
"Hi ---" Aunt Niu took a deep breath and said, "I was arrested by the officers and soldiers as a laborer---
Huo Dao was surprised and said, "I haven't heard that the government has recruited workers."
Aunt Niu suddenly sobbed with tears and snot, complained, and sighed: "We are just crop farmers, how do we know that, soon a group of officers and soldiers came, first arrested the young descendants--- then arrested a group of men, as long as they could still move, all the men were arrested, and Erdan was arrested together with his sick old father who came back to see him."
"If you don't have the king's law, how can you arrest people indiscriminately" Huo Dao scolded angrily, and hurriedly asked: "Where did you arrest you, did you give money and food?"
Aunt Niu shook her head and sobbed again and again, and cried even more complainingly: "I don't know, I will arrest people when I see them, not to mention the reason, and I will also loot all the money and food of every family, and not a single grain will be left."
"What's the use of the left" Suddenly an old woman squeezed over: "I was caught in Meihu Ditch, digging graves, and if I don't die, I will become a waste, as long as we are a group of old women and children, we will not freeze to death or starve to death--- our village will be extinct."
Saying that, that kind of helplessness, the miserable grumbling of the heavens and no way out, slumped directly in the snow, crying, scolding--- which makes people feel so heartbroken.
This is even more shocking and speechless, what kind of world is this, Huo Dao asked: "It's really an officer and soldier--- it's really caught digging graves in Meihugou."
"Oh--- it's really --- our village is going to be extinct, that is a group of brutes, brutes in official skins, I see it really, hundreds of people are planing there" The old woman kicked and cried bitterly.
He couldn't ask anything more, Huo Dao sighed deeply, pulled Huo Gang and said: "Gangzi, you go to the horse farm first, bring some people to pull this grain over first, so that they can spend the winter, and then bring Shidan, Tang Qiang and Shanzi together."
