Cuihua lived in an old house in the back mountain.

The old house is located at the west end of the village of Da Mo Village, just at the foot of the back mountain. The house is overgrown with weeds, with a small forest in front of the house, a bamboo forest behind the house, and a small vegetable garden that has long been abandoned to the east. The house was old, it had been inhabited for a long time since the Great Demon Village had been haunted during the Orthodox years, the cracks had crept up the decaying doors and windows, and the dimly lit houses were covered with cobwebs.

Ah Zhong walked into the old house in the back mountain, and saw that Cuihua's belly was already bulging high, and he was holding his stomach and taking a handful of newly made brooms made of bamboo behind the house to clean up, he snatched the broom in her hand and said: "You have such a big belly, be careful! I'll come, you can rest." ”

Ah Zhong inadvertently touched her hand, a warm and smooth hand, this was the first time Ah Zhong touched her hand in more than ten years. He felt a warm electric current flow through his body, and he looked sideways, Cuihua was wearing a loose dress, with no makeup, a red face, panting, but she looked very cute. Ah Zhong had the urge to rush up and hug her, but he didn't do it, just stood in place and looked at her affectionately, heartache for her, sad for her.

It's been twelve years, and since she came to the Great Demon Village when she was six years old, Ah Zhong has liked her. I remember that year, on his tenth birthday, his father was going down the mountain to Zhixi Town, the largest market town nearby, to catch the market, his father asked him what kind of gift he wanted to buy him, he said to his father to buy a pair of silver bracelets for girls, his father asked him why, he said that he was going to give it to Cuihua, he said he liked Cuihua. He was punished by his father to kneel all day, from the time his father left home in the morning to go to the market until his father came back in the middle of the night.

From that day on, Ah Zhong knew that Cuihua was someone's daughter-in-law, and he could never marry her, and his love for Cuihua could only be quietly hidden in his heart, and he couldn't say it or tell anyone. Even though, when he grew up, he heard that Cuihua was beaten by her drunkard husband again and again, his heart hurt very much, and he never expressed it, and he couldn't help him, at most, he helped her to tell the village chief.

Crush is a bitter seed, it is congenitally malnourished, it can only sprout quietly in the shadows, grow in an illusory world full of reverie, and cannot be transplanted into the real world in broad daylight, always lacking the moisture of sunshine and rain, only dying in the heart little by little, until leaving a shadow of regret.

His love for her is the bud that cannot bloom from this bitter seed. Standing in front of Cuihua, Ah Zhong had nothing to say, and he didn't know how to tell, so he could only put down the work in his hand, and she looked at her affectionately.

She also put down her work, pulled a handful of straw and sat down against the wall in a corner with her big belly, sat in this gloomy room, gasped, looked at him affectionately, and then quickly lowered her head to look at her big belly.

A woman who has lost her virginity and has a big belly, facing a man, no matter how much he loves herself, whether she loves him or not, she can't express it. She could only silently look at her big belly.

He also pulled a handful of straw and sat down against the wall in the other corner, still looking at her affectionately.

On this day, in this dilapidated old house, Ah Zhong had an impulse that he had never felt before. This impulse was suppressed in his heart for a long, long time. The last time he went to Suzhou with her, he had this impulse, but his father repeatedly explained before leaving that he would never dare to make a mistake. When he came back from Suzhou that time, he told her about Liu Hailiu, and when he saw her crying and crying silently, he wanted to say to her, "Don't be afraid, and me, say it loudly, I am willing to share all your pain with you." However, when he thought that she was still so infatuated and looking forward to Liu Hailiu hiring a flower boat to carry an eight-person sedan chair to marry her back, he had no choice but to be speechless.

In the past time, seeing those people coming to the door every day to make trouble, he also had an impulse, he wanted to go back and tell his mother that he was going to marry, he wanted to marry her home, and protect her well, so that she would not be hurt again. However, he did not dare. Every time he came back from the Ling family, his mother would always call him to the room to educate him, and his mother said to herself: "Son, you are the eldest son of the Zheng family, and you are also the only seedling of the old Zheng family, your words and deeds represent the Zheng family, you are not just you." The first thing you must think of before you do anything and make a decision should be the Zheng family, and you should consider what our old Zheng family should do and what should not be done. You must not make a mistake, you must not disappoint your parents!"

On this day, he and she were in the same dimly lit old house, sitting in two corners of the room, and as soon as he turned his head, he could see her beautiful face, and see her smile sweetly with her head down. He really wanted to stand up and walk over to her in his arms, and say to her, "Don't be afraid, because with me, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, there will always be a rainbow after the storm." ”

He looked at her affectionately, only to see her put the index finger of her right hand gently to her mouth, made a gesture to tell him not to make a sound, shook her hand and told him not to move, and then quickly stretched out her left hand to grab the broom not far away, and made a new broom with small bamboo, she grabbed the broom, gently pulled down the thin strips, gently broke them, broke them off one by one, and put them in front of her, holding a thick bamboo strip tightly in her hand.

Suddenly, a shadow pounced up, then two, three, one by one shadows rushed towards her, she waved the bamboo stick in her hand, "pop pap" and pulled over, like wielding a chopping knife, "papapa" three shadows were cut in the middle of her and fell to the ground. Then in the dim light, he saw that it was three gray Maoshan wolves that had fallen to the ground.

Then he felt the earth shake, and heard the sound of a wild boar roaring, and a huge and powerful wild boar roared wildly into the room, rushing towards Cuihua, and at the same time two gray Maoshan wolves rushed towards her.

Cuihua had a big belly and wanted to stand up and dodge, but she was in no hurry. A woman with a big belly is always slow to move.

However, her shot was not slow at all, she waved the bamboo strip in her hand with her right hand, and pulled it over, still like just now, like wielding a chopping knife, "pop papa" two gray Maoshan wolves were cut off by her and fell to the ground. At the same time, her left hand swung out, facing the huge and powerful boar that rushed in.

With two loud bangs, Cuihua just sat on the ground and flew backwards, and the wall behind her hit a big hole, and the huge wild boar also flew out, knocking out a big hole in the wall next to Ah Zhong and flying out.

After the two loud bangs, Ah Zhong seemed to hear a "dong dong" drum sound. The drums are melodious, relaxed and soothing, elegant like a song, and then you can hear the bird calls of "coo", "coo", "coo", and "chirp".

Cuihua walked over from the hole in the collapsed wall, she looked at Ah Zhong and smiled, a bitter smile. As if to say, "Do you hear the melodious drums and the chirping of birds?" she didn't say anything, just looked at him with her eyes. At this moment, Ah Zhong was already very satisfied. He stood up and looked at the five big bad wolves who were dead beside him, smiled bitterly, and followed her to the door.

She supported her waist with her left hand, held the thin bamboo strip in her right hand, and walked forward with a big belly.
