Chapter 7 Chapter 2 Donkey Girl

After the fight was over, before the granners had time to gather together, the granary brother quietly left his buddy under the cover of the night.Along with him is Zhou Litong who follows him every step of the way.His departure may mean peace and tranquility in Gujinchang.Because he didn't want his own people to know that their gold treasurer had been seriously injured, and he didn't want it to cause a disaster—the kind of bloody man-made disaster that everyone who has experienced the gold field can foresee.That's right, that's why he wanted to get out of the ancient gold field quickly.

They went upstream along the Jiling River, drilled into the Xiangshui cave on the east side of the Jiling River, which was as deep as the stone kiln on the golden platform, washed the wound with clear spring, and dug a handful of purple leaf grass to wrap their right hands.That grass is a magical thing given by God to the living beings, which can stop bleeding and relieve pain, disinfect and reduce swelling.After that, keep walking.The night blinded them and drugged them.At dawn, they came to Jilingchuan.This place is the most prosperous place in Tangut ancient gold field.Several rows of strong stone houses lived in the gold field management office, as well as state-owned and private stores, mainly selling groceries, rice wine and cigarettes to gold diggers.Not far from the stone houses, there are some adobe houses next to the Jiling River across an evergreen fir forest. When you see the crumbling and dilapidated appearance of the houses, you can tell that their owners just want to make do with it and don’t plan to live there for a long time. .The adobe houses were built by the gold diggers themselves, and there lived some women who were willing to come to the gold fields to accompany the men.Some of these women are hired by gold shopkeepers for themselves; some have no fixed masters, as long as they can extract a few stars of gold from the gold diggers, they are willing to give everything and accept contributions from everyone.They created a human atmosphere in the ancient gold field and fanned another wind of desire for the gold diggers.Probably because of the effect of gold, the gold field management office on the other side of the fir forest turned a blind eye to them.

Jilingchuan is only more than ten miles away from the Tangut Grand Gorge where you can walk out of the ancient gold field, but Brother Gucang doesn't want to continue on the road.He felt sleepy all over his body for a while, his limbs were desperately falling, and he felt like he couldn't lift his back foot.He told Zhou Litong to stop, stood in front of an adobe house facing the Jiling River, and kicked the door lightly several times.Zhou Litong shouted: "Didn't you see the Iron Monkey guarding the door?" In fact, Brother Gucang saw it a long time ago, he just wanted to kick, and it seemed that kicking a few more times would be a pleasure. "The Iron Monkey has to stop holding the door, I can't walk anymore." He said, holding his right hand in his left hand, turning around tremblingly.Zhou Litong graciously pulled him to sit on a pile of thatch used as firewood under the wall by the door, and took out a wine gourd from his body: "Drink! Warm your body and calm down."

There is no gold rusher who does not like to drink.What Brother Gucang drank was wine, and what he spit out was the past and melancholy: "You know what? Me and her..." "I know. The year before last, you came to the gold field alone to try your luck. You ran out of food, and you had to go to her door for food..." "No. I was frozen on the road, and she brought me into this room and warmed me with her eyes. Cough! Those eyes, two fires, the darker the day, the brighter they are." The wine is gone, the confusion in front of me is gone, and the morning in the river in August is clear and clear.In the clear hazy light, there was a sound of footsteps, and a girl in a blue-and-white shirt came from there carrying a load of water.Brother Gucang hurriedly stood up, his spirits lifted.

"You go first! I'm going to rest on this girl's kang today." He waved to Zhou Litong. "You can't even pass the threshold of a girl." Zhou Litong urged him. "Gold is in my hand, I'm not afraid she won't let me in. Gold, gold, a woman's body." The effect of the wine made the granary brother puff out his chest. "You don't dare to have gold, this girl belongs to Weizi." "You say I don't dare? I dare to be the goddaughter of the Heavenly King." "seeing is believing." "Okay! I'll tell you to learn more today."

Zhou Litong stretched out his right hand, he stretched out his left hand, and they slapped each other. The condition was Zhou Litong's proposal: if Brother Gucang dares to hug this beautiful girl and kiss her, all the gold dust will belong to him.At this time, the girl just came over.Brother Gucang stepped forward to stop him, staring blankly with a smile on his face.The girl's watery eyes flashed, knowing that she had encountered an evil spirit, she quickly put down a load of water, trying to avoid it quickly.Brother Gucang rushed over like a wolf, hugged her with one arm, saw her struggling left and right, then suddenly let go, backed up a few steps with a smirk, then shook his head at Zhou Litong, blushing. face sighed.

"Forget it, my sister doesn't want to, she doesn't know me anymore." "Can't count!" "Come here if you have the ability." Brother Gucang patted his cotton-padded jacket, "The gold is on the line!" Seeing that Zhou Litong was not moving, he took off his cotton-padded jacket and threw it on the ground. Zhou Litong suddenly felt nervous, hesitated for a moment, clenched his fists to strengthen himself, jumped over, hugged the girl who was about to run away from behind, hung her neck long, poked her head back and forth like a pig rolling mud, I don't know where the kiss is, but when I heard the sound of a trumpet, I let go, turned around and jumped over, grabbed the cotton coat of the brother in the barn, and tore a piece of the patch inside: in the blink of an eye, the piece was made of cotton. The wrapped placer gold was put into his arms.The girl looked a little puzzled, wanted to be annoyed but couldn't get annoyed, and stared blankly at these two hideous, ridiculous and neurotic weirdos.Brother Gucang laughed naively: They were just joking while they were having fun, and the gold they had worked hard and feared, how could they just move away from the owner like this!At worst, give him less than half.But Zhou Litong is a real character who can't joke.He left behind his woman and partner, as well as all his loyalty and friendship, and ran away.By the time the barn brother came to his senses and strode over, he had already disappeared.The fir forest on the other side of the adobe house acted as an accomplice for Zhou Litong to cut the path halfway.

"Litong! Litong!" The urgent and worrying cry stunned the barn brother himself.He sat down on the edge of the cedar forest, tearing his hair and beating his chest with one hand.After pounding enough, he jumped up and was about to chase him. Turning to one side, he saw the girl standing beside him.He froze.She is smiling with her eyes.Good eyes, rippling water color, just a swipe to seduce a man's soul.He couldn't help calming down a lot, and wanted to say a few words of apology to her, but the words couldn't roll his tongue for a while, and he started to beat himself again when he was in a hurry, once, and the second time he used the wrong hand.With an ouch, he held his right hand and stomped on the spot.The pain sobered him up in a very timely manner: what a distinguished gold shopkeeper, he was so vulnerable.The pretentious toughness, the pretense of being fearless in front of everyone, and the short-term bravery were all quickly stripped away.It turned out that naked, he was never a real gold digger who took adventure as fun.He left everyone simply because he already had gold.Since Gu Jinchang's great love for him was regarded by him as a signal to drive him back, why would he risk his life for others, for Jintai!Life on the gold field is lost at will, and a coward has no reason to revel in danger.But now, the body is crippled, and the gold is lost, and the rest has to be left to time and fate.It is said that those who are ignorant of the gold in the gang will be punished by being smashed to pieces.Has his punishment, then, already come, or is it creeping in on him halfway?In the future, what will be the fate of his fellows? ——In the village, he is a good guy who stands out from the crowd. He gathers the villagers to venture into the gold field, and he is the shopkeeper. He cannot get rid of this kind of concern.

He let the girl support his body that was about to fall due to dizziness, let her hold his hand with two broken fingers to blow the cool air in horror, and let her pull his arm away from the edge of the moist and fresh forest belt , walked into her adobe room. Brother Gucang leaned on the quilt like a doll, watching her change his dressing without saying a word.The sister's house also has purple leaf grass, and it is dried and ground into flour, mixed with anti-inflammatory powder and incense ash from some temple.Weeds mixed with home medicine, plus a little piety to pray for the blessings of the gods, this is all a woman's wish.She sprinkled this wish on a thick layer, and then took out a piece of white cloth to wrap it carefully, her hands were soft and cold, and she raised her eyelashes to glance at him from time to time.Brother Gucang is a big man, even if he is covered in trauma, he doesn't deserve the pain.

"Have you met a robber?" He shook his head, then nodded again.He didn't want to describe a past event that would make a woman's heart skip a beat, as that would spoil the mellow atmosphere.This atmosphere is a bit like meeting friends and renewing old love.The girl has recognized him. She also brought him a bowl of poached eggs with her eyes.A pair of red suns wrapped in white gauze floated in the clear soup.He took a sip, then poured it into his mouth with a snort.He looked at the table, in this house, apart from her eyes, only the canning jar on the table was full of charm and charm.The bottle was full of clear water, and a round purple-skinned onion was covering the mouth of the bottle, and the water in the bottle was soaked with countless fine white roots, which were as elegant as an old man's silver whiskers.Antarctic birthday star, with long eyebrows and white beard, this dignified appearance is gentle and quiet, standing upright for girls to enjoy every day.He turned his head, let his eyelids cast a shadow on the table, and asked her tentatively:

"Where's your man?" She kept silent, avoided his gaze, went into the kitchen with an empty bowl, came out again after a while, sat on the edge of the kang, brushed off the sleepiness on his face with her eyes. "Your man's family, you are restless when you go far away. If you have a broken finger, you still ask about your man everywhere?" "I didn't ask around, so I asked you." She continued on her own: "Drink the goat's milk and forget your mother, find a wild one and forget your family. You men are all wolves with black consciences." "Family? Oh! If you have a family, I won't come to your door." "The ones without a home are all wild?" He stared at her blankly: "Sister, do you want me to go wild for a while?" "Haven't you ever been wild?" "No." She lowered her head: "I can see that you are an honest person. Someone broke your finger and someone robbed your gold." "Don't worry about that. If he doesn't bring me the gold, I'll split him into three pieces." "What about the finger? You want to break someone else's too?" His face became gloomy, and he glanced out of the window angrily: "It's a dog." "You can scold him. If you scold him, his finger will be broken." "You think I'm a dog that can only bark? I'm a man! A man!" He bowed and pulled her sideways. "I won't come to see you again until I break his leg." It was as if he was swearing to his lover, as if they had been in love for a long time and would continue to develop in the future.He moved forward, put his arms around her waist, and was about to drag her in.She jumped off the edge of the Kang: "Are you going to die? Go away now." "If you don't leave today, you will leave tomorrow." "Go! Go! You go." "I don't want to go, I just don't go!" He said, and simply turned around and leaned on the quilt and lay on his back on the kang. She suddenly changed her face, with a surprising gleam in her eyes: "Who are you? I don't recognize you, if you don't leave, I'm going to call someone." "The voice is yours. If you want to shout, I don't care." She hurriedly opened the door, leaned against the door frame and opened her mouth wide, but let out a soft sigh when she wanted to shout.She turned around: "Forget it, why bother to ask you to be beaten again. If you want to rest, just rest obediently and don't touch me with a finger. I am not a wild woman." He smiled: "I won't move. Just sit on the edge of the kang and let me watch you." She obeyed, sat down, and took the needle and thread for the sole of the shoe.He looked at her calmly, thinking about the guys for a while, thinking about the piece of gold taken away by Zhou Litong, and thinking about home for a while—elder brother has a stroke and is paralyzed, and he has no money for medical treatment, can he ignore it?The better his sister-in-law treats him, the more he feels that he, as a brother, should take on the responsibility of saving a family.That's what he was afraid of.If you treat him badly, he will feel relieved.Sister-in-law, there is clearly an expectation in your eyes for me to save elder brother.He fell asleep after thinking about it. Fatigue soon made him snore deeply.The girl put down what she was doing and stared blankly at his handsome face.She fell in love with this face, the nose is bright and straight, the eyebrows are black and thick, the mouth is wide enough to eat, food and meat to eat luck; big eyes can see, the stars, the moon and women.There is no beard on the round chin, which is clean and clean, like her breasts.No beard is young, young will be considerate to women, have a future, and the future is gold.She swore secretly: If this person can't find big gold, then the ancestor spirit is not working, and the god is dead.In contrast, the man's face with protruding mouth and snub nose that she was familiar with looked a bit like an eagle, monkey, or bear. She is Zhang Busan's concubine donkey sister.The donkey girl is the girl born to the donkey. The donkey-born girl doesn't remember having a mother and a father.She lived with Mayan (blind) Grandpa since she was a child, and Grandpa Mayan said that he picked her up by the side of the road.The doll I picked up didn't hurt, Grandpa didn't treat her well.As long as she could remember, the jujube stick in his hand often left some blue or purple lumps on her body.But Mayan Grandpa couldn't do without her.He needs her to lead the way, and she needs her to boil water and cook for him.She has undertaken the obligation to serve him since she was five years old. There was only one person in the village who treated her well, and that was Widow Xue, who was born to a dead man and had no children.Widow Xue fed her, mended her clothes, and held her in her arms and touched her passionately.The warmth and kindness in her nature seemed to be preserved only because of this touch.When she was thirteen, Widow Xue died.I don't know where a foreign scholar wrote an inscription: It is impossible to set up a memorial archway, and the production team does not have the economic conditions.There is one ancestral hall, but it is the place where Zhang's surname in Weizi Village worships the spirits of ghosts and gods. People with foreign surnames have to stand aside even if they are virtuous like the sun and the moon, shining like the sky and running like rivers and rivers.The inscription had to be placed in the team headquarters by the production team leader at the time, and it was covered in cobwebs for several years, and then it disappeared. Two years after Widow Xue's death, when the word "Baizhou Lijie" was gradually being understood, she took Grandpa Mayan to bask in the sun on the slope of Yangshan.Grandpa accidentally fell and fell into an incurable disease.On his deathbed, Grandpa revealed the truth, saying that the girl he took in was born to him and Widow Xue.People didn't believe it, and they said that Grandpa was talking nonsense. He couldn't even touch the open road, so how could he touch a woman's belly.A more sufficient reason is: the inscription clearly stated that she hadn't touched a man in thirty-six years, and the doll was licked in by licking Grandpa's saliva?The words on the inscription will not deceive people, the scholar Wenquxing descended to earth, how could Wenquxing fool the common people?Unbelief is a fact, and no one can disobey the wishes of the masses.After the death of Grandpa Mayan, the inheritance left to her was not only the pots and beddings, the adobe kang house, but also a donkey.One day, she went to visit Widow Xue's grave in accordance with Grandpa Mayan's will, but Zhang Busan stopped her and asked her who to visit. "My mother." Zhang Busan smiled cunningly and said, "You don't have a mother, your grandmother is your donkey." At that time, Zhang Busan was a middle-aged boy who hadn't been in the house for three days. He was naughty by nature, and he played tricks on others as casually as throwing stones down the ditch. "Sister under the donkey! Girl under the donkey!" he shouted and ran away.She was unknown since she was a child, and when people mentioned her, they always said that she was "grandpa's crutch".Now that Zhang Busan has given her a name and spread it around, people can easily accept and approve her, because no matter whether she is a donkey or a horse, she does not harm anyone else in the slightest.As long as it is recognized, it is a fact.So she became a donkey sister, and the relationship between her and the donkey who got along day and night changed from a human-animal relationship to a mother-daughter relationship.In her young heart, she felt that this was a very ugly and vulgar thing. No matter who called her, she would try her best to justify: "I'm not, I'm not." But the more she justified, the more it seemed to be true.Everyone didn't listen to her, but they barked more seriously and smoothly. As time passed, even she herself believed that her grandmother was a donkey.Later, when she grew up and suffered a lot of humiliation, she had a very strong desire: she must prove whether a donkey can give birth to a baby in her life.Shi Mantang was appointed by the heavens, and he did his part to fulfill the wish of the donkey girl. Shi Mantang has a whole body of strength.When he was a child herding cattle, he often kept company with calves that he regarded as the same kind.When he went out early in the morning, he carried the calf up the hill, changed grass slopes, carried the calf from one hill to another, and carried it back to the shed when he returned from herding.Over time, the calf was grown up by him; he still wanted to hold it, because the thing had made him coquettish and used to it. He himself has an inexplicable love affair, and he will be flustered if he doesn't hug him. He has always grown up together since he was a child!But he didn't expect that he would use all his brute strength to hold the cow. It wasn't until the cow died of an illness that he realized how strong and great he was. That day, when the autumn tiger ascended to the sky, the wheat fields were scorching and crackling, and the anxious grains of wheat seemed to be about to roll out of the ears and flow into rivers.Zhuangjia led Shi Wang Renhou, and the scythe sound was slow and even, leaving the others behind for a long distance.Then he suffocated and left.Shi Mantang, who was helping him, suddenly became the leader.Shi Mantang had settled himself and Wang Renhou in his heart, and was about to show his strength. He seized Maixing and swung his sickle forward. There is always a snort of chasing pedestrians behind him.When he was in a hurry, his words were surprisingly high.Zhang Busan, the team leader who led the women to tie the bundles, called out, "Mantang, you go to the back." He refused to accept it, and pretended not to hear.It is the most embarrassing thing for a farmer to lose face in front of the crops, and he can't withdraw at this time even if he dies.Unexpectedly, Zhang Busan would rush over and grab him by the shoulders, trying to drag him out of the wheat shop.He blushed so much that he was about to bleed, twisted his body and waved his hands, Zhang Busan actually fell to the ground, a dog sitting on his back made him grinning and distorted his face.He stood up, kicked Shi Mantang in the back, and said muffledly: "Don't cut it, it's free, go home and rest." Knowing that the captain had decided to deduct his work points for today, he left the wheat shop in frustration and went to the ground to lie down on his back.If he didn't go home, the wheat field at the entrance of the village was full of women. The mouths of women were specially used to laugh at men. They would fly a knife at a joke, and they would not stop until they bleed. The donkey girl brings water to the wheat reapers.When the water came, everyone rushed over to drink it, and they also wanted to grab the benefits of the donkey girl.Since she is the daughter of Lusheng, others don't treat her as a human being.But the donkey girl thought she was precious, so she just dodged those people who were sweating all over her body, scooped up a teapot of water and gave it to Shi Mantang who was lying obediently.He bowed his waist to catch it, and gulped it down.Before he finished drinking the water, the tea mug was knocked off the ground by the donkey girl, and she almost fell into his arms.People laughed, as happy as cold water turned into watermelons, all of them crooked their mouths.He pushed the donkey girl away, stood up and cursed: "Push your aunt into my arms, I don't want it! Don't!" He was about to dodge while cursing, but saw that Wang Renhou relied on his age being older than him and having crops Holding his identity, he stretched out his arm and grabbed his neckline: "Who are you scolding?" "You can scold whoever is a beast."He stood firm, but Wang Renhou fell to the ground, and he was also a dog.Others were surprised, what a stone mantang, what kind of heavenly soup and earthy pills he ate, became a real person overnight, and saw that he easily picked up a big stone beside the ground, as if he was going to smash Wang Renhou to death, exclaimed He stared and rounded his eyes.Shi Mantang gently put down the stone.He just wanted to try his own strength, and he would be satisfied if he succeeded. At any rate, he had erased the shame of being kicked out of the wheat shop, so he went braggingly.After walking a few steps, he turned around again, picked up the donkey girl, and tugged away. He could no longer harvest wheat, and he didn't want to continue lying on the ground looking at the sky, not to mention the dazzling sun, and the boiling blood all over his body wouldn't allow it.The man regained consciousness, and he felt that he had to do something.He likes the donkey girl, so he has to do it if he likes it. Isn't the matter between men and women the same as that of livestock?On the hot sunny slope of Huangtugou, he tore her clothes. "No, no, no!" Donkey girl pushed him, dodging her body and kept saying "no". "You don't like me?" he asked in surprise.She didn't speak, and cried, crying so sadly.He heard her blame the man intermittently: "You just don't treat me as a human being. You are the same as them." "No, I'm different from them. I'm a good person." He let go of his hand confessingly, sighed He took a deep breath and sat down.Sitting with the sun on the west side, he raised his head and saw that she was still standing there timidly, and shouted: "Hurry up!" The donkey girl turned around and ran away in fright.He grinned heartily at her back: "Good man, I said I am a good man." Shi Mantang is undoubtedly a good person.Donkey girl believed that she was destined to live with a good person for the rest of her life, so she began to miss him and cast her eyes on him.Her eyes are probably specially used to smear men with luster, and the man she takes a fancy to will instantly become brighter, and her eyes will also be polished even brighter.Brightness is due to the color of water, which can create everything: beauty, aura, rippling spring waves, and swaying autumn tides; the sky is blue, and the eyes are blue; the lake is green, and the eyes are green; Xia is scarlet. When the grass is green, the eyes are also crimson; if the clouds are colorful, there will always be colorful hopes in the eyes; if the seedlings are green, the eyes will be full of blue melancholy.She has changed, just because she has her own man in her heart, she suddenly becomes fresh and clean, and it even makes people think: if such a stunner will be born after intercourse with a donkey, then in the future, if you marry a wife or a man, you should look for it in the pile of donkeys . "You're a good man," he said when he went to the field to collect ketra. "I'm not good, I'm..." "You are not, you are not raised by a donkey." He shouted anxiously. Her eyes suddenly dimmed: "People say that." "I won't tell." "You are a good person." "Hey, you're good too." Their conversations are always repeated. "I'm not good. I'm..." "I do not believe." "I believe." "Do you believe it? Believe it! Be it a donkey or a horse, anyway, I want to marry you." "If you believe me, I won't marry you!" "I'm just kidding, why donkeys know how to raise people." "Brother Mantang, I won't marry you, I won't marry you. Can you prove that a donkey can't keep a man?" "I prove it." "Just say I don't believe it." "Then why do you want me? Do you want me to climb on the donkey's body?" She blushed, turned around and left, walked a few steps and then turned around: "Brother Mantang, if you convince me, I will marry you." Shi Mantang is an honest man.That night, when Yuelao closed his eyes and Xingxing dozed off, he broke into his donkey pen.It was the first time in my life that I did that, it was with a donkey, to get someone's love.But he didn't expect that the donkey girl's bright eyes would also fascinate others.Zhang Busan already had a donkey girl in his heart. When Zhang Busan was young, he suffered from a disease called hunger and fatigue.He trembled all over when he felt a little hunger, and shrugged his neck involuntarily.When seeing food, no matter whether it is thick, meat or vegetable, his eyes are lifted immediately, the black one is scorched, the white one is bloodshot, the tongue hooks to the ceiling, licking and licking endlessly, causing the stomach and intestines to twitch uncontrollably , giving birth to some acidic water to surge upwards.Some people say that this is because he experienced the famine years when the fat people lost weight and the thin people became swollen, and he had a physiological reaction to the fear of hunger. Because of this, he has repeatedly failed in marriage matters.For the first time, at the urging of my mother, I went to a foreign village for a blind date.People asked him, it's noon, what do you want to eat?Dumplings or noodles?When he heard about eating, he first showed a series of strange faces, and then said bluntly: "Who wants to eat noodles when there are dumplings!" As a result, after eating six bowls of dumplings, the girl disappeared before eating.Dumplings are round eggs, and if you eat dumplings, you will get out; noodles are a mascot, because they symbolize the long flow of water and the everlasting.The customs of this village are like this, even if Zhang Busan's family is well-off, his character is outstanding, and he takes advantage of the blind date, the girl can only admire him secretly, and finally dare not deviate from the local customs and marry him.After Zhang Busan went on blind dates in other villages three times in a row but was not selected by others, his self-esteem was greatly damaged, and he swore in front of his mother that he would never go on blind dates again in this life.The mother panicked and said: "Zhang Wa, if you don't get a wife, I will be sorry for you, Ada. You Ada said, keep the green hills, and don't worry about running out of firewood. The Zhang family can't end the heir." The son felt sorry for his mother, patted his chest and gasped. Tang Tang said: "Grandmother, relax your mind. I will bring you back a lively grandson. Don't care who raised it for me. Anyway, he is a descendant of our Zhang family." In the past, I couldn't do that kind of thing, so I just married a daughter-in-law to come home." "No. It's only three things, and there can't be a fourth time of being humiliated. Ada gave me this name, and I You have to behave according to his wishes." The mother couldn't hold back her son, and didn't wait for the big grandson to come home, so she let go with regret.The mother who passed away left a deep impression on Zhang Busan and influenced his future life.When she was alive, she spent half her life nagging about two people, one was her husband Zhang Huhu, and the other was Yang Jier.Nagging her husband because she hugged him with all her heart.He has experienced so many thrilling things in his ups and downs and vigorous life. She needs to tell her son one by one without exaggeration and concealment. Of course, there is also her pride and pain as a woman in it.Nagging Yang Ji'er was because he was her husband's sworn brother and eventually killed her husband.Now that the mother is dead, the son's thinking has become more mature and sophisticated, and his personality is exactly like his father's copy.In front of his mother's grave, the luxuriant grass swelled sadly, and the sunflowers in full bloom were singing a distant lullaby sadly. A personality created by hatred and fantasy made Zhang Busan dry up his tears quickly.When the paper ashes flew into the sky, he engraved the oath into the clear blue above his head: he wants to stand out, ask women to kneel down for him, and live like his father with scheming and strength. That year, there was a lot of frost in the spring, a dry and hot wind in the summer, and a hailstorm in the autumn. The crops in Weizi Village were sparse and sick, and it was obvious that they could not produce a few liters or buckets of grain.However, the task of public procurement of grain continued unabated.Zhang Busan said to the captain: "He assigns his task, and I get my food. The ration standard cannot be changed. It is divided according to last year's card size, and the rest will be handed in, and the amount paid will be counted." The captain shook his head: "The higher-ups are coming to check." "Are you afraid of their inspection? Then you don't come forward, just rest in the house and say that your stomach hurts. I'll deal with those bastards." Zhang Busan's words represent the general thinking of the masses.Although the honest captain likes to act impartially, he doesn't want to feel sorry for the folks.As soon as Maizi played, he fell ill, and Zhang Busan took full responsibility for the affairs of the team.Zhang Busan came to cut up the mess quickly, and divided the threshed straw into a bucket. Before the threshed straw was piled up on the wheat field, the work of distributing rations was over. Except for a few seeds and feed, there were no grains. left.At this time, other villages have not even made a distribution plan.Zhang Busan made careful arrangements on the day when the inspection team composed of cadres at the two levels of the county commune came to Weizi Village.He asked the men from every household to level the land, and left the women at home to start the fire and cook.He went to the entrance of the village and waited.The inspection team drove fifty kilometers and arrived at noon.He said with a smile: "Have lunch before doing business. When guests come, Weizi Village should treat them well." The team was led by a deputy director of the County Revolutionary Committee.He often goes to the countryside, and often likes to eat at farmers' homes.First, it shows his work style of going deep into the masses. Second, the deputy director of the farmer's hospitality usually kills chickens and sheep, which is better than the collective hospitality of the team.Zhang Busan's arrangement just catered to his wishes.He said, "Let's eat first," and followed Zhang Busan into the village.Zhang Busan took them along and passed by a family to arrange a person.The deputy director was arranged at Wang Renhou's home.Wang Renhou's family has no better conditions, the only saving grace is that the women's faces are more attractive than those of other families. Nearly an hour passed.Zhang BuSan came to the field and let the men go home quietly.As a result, just as he planned, Wang Renhou stood at the door of his house and cursed loudly.Because he saw his woman sitting upright in the arms of the deputy director.Zhang Busan arrived upon hearing the news, and sternly reprimanded Wang Renhou: "What are you calling? They are county leaders." "What's wrong with the county leader? He is the Jade Emperor, and I want to sue him. Using the name of inspection to seduce other people's daughter-in-law, is he worthy of his own wife and family!" The deputy director had already had a face full of red and purple, and panickedly cast his eyes on Zhang Busan for help.Zhang Busan pushed Wang Renhou out of the door. Seeing that Renhou's daughter-in-law had already slipped into the kitchen, he whispered to the deputy director: "Look, what are we going to do about this?" "I, I seduced her, or she, she insisted on getting into my arms?" The deputy director's long horse face turned into a monkey's butt in anger, and he stuttered with grievance. Zhang Busan's face was so kind that he was about to become a Buddha immediately, and softly said for his parents' sake: "Oh! Can you explain this clearly? Of course he is a farmer who eats mud and dirt. Of course he can't sue you. But in case he wants to Go to the county town and yell, and it won't end well if your flowery and jade-like empress finds out." "Hmph!" The deputy director was humming to his mother, how could she be as beautiful as a flower!His feet are squat like duck's paws, his waist is as thick as a bucket, and his fat body is falling down.But disgust is disgust, the deputy director is born with fear of guilt.He knew that once the yelling got into her ears, she would yell at the standing committee with tears and cursing.Zhang Busan observed his words and expressions, and frankly stated his own idea: "The shit is sharp, that is, eating shit." In order to show that eating shit is easy and well-proportioned, he used a neat onomatopoeia: " Cha".This is a folk custom, if you offend someone, that person will give him shit.Once it's over, the past and future grievances will be wiped out.The deputy director was so angry that many livid pimples appeared on his face like a monkey's butt, and he choked out a sentence for a long time: "Is this how you treat me?" "Don't stop, I'm afraid it's not easy for hundreds of people to talk about it, maybe one day gossip will fill the streets of the county town." This was simply a threat, and the deputy director was so angry that he ignored him.Zhang Busan said again: "If you really don't want to mess with it, then I will discuss it with the villagers to see if it can be avoided." Dry shit, I don't know when it was made, and I don't know if it was Wang Renhou's, but it was obviously prepared long ago.He put it in front of the deputy director and said: "Damn it, it's done well, and it doesn't smell. The villagers agreed to take care of you." After Zhang Busan said, he went out, leaving the deputy director alone to bear the humiliation Aggrieved.This is also caring, if it is someone else, not only have to touch it face to face, but also have to specify the size, and swallow it with their tongues amidst the laughter of the crowd.After a while, when Zhang Busan reappeared, the half-inch-long point on the upright excrement stick in the center of the pile of human excrement was gone.He must have scratched it away with his hands, let alone swallowed it into his stomach.But Zhang Busan believed that the deputy director had eaten shit, so he stood proudly with his hips on his hips, and his tone became hard and cloudy: "I'm talking about parents, you went to the countryside to molest a woman from a good family, and told her to feed her shit, and you're ashamed and thrown at home. If you want people to know, unless you don't do it yourself. What do you think?" "What do you want me for? Are you finished?" The furious deputy director jumped up in a gaffe. A fierce cold wind blew across Zhang Busan's face, and he said again: "It's over, it's up to you. You know, Weizi Village didn't collect grain this year, and even a handful of grain can't be handed over." If the officials come here again to press for food and grass, then we will go to Man County to yell." Only then did the unresponsive parent officer understand what Zhang Busan meant, and shouted, "Why didn't you say this earlier?" The deputy director hurriedly left Weizi Village with someone.I don't know how he fooled his superiors. This year, the County Revolutionary Committee formed Document No. 23, which specifically talked about Weizi Village's exemption from public transportation for grain purchases. Everyone benefits and everyone is proud.Only Wang Renhou was displeased, he felt that it was unfair that his family paid for the most precious reputation and got the same as everyone else.Zhang Busan asked each household to share a handful of grain, made up half a cloth bag, and personally delivered it to Wang Renhou's door, saying that it was a reward for those who made contributions.Only then did Wang Renhou calm down and put the loss of reputation behind him.Of course, what's more important is that his daughter-in-law has always been a very responsible person, and she was ordered by Zhang Busan to do ridiculous things, and she didn't let people who like to gossip waste their time. Facts have proved that treachery and cunning can bring more benefits to the folks than honesty.The old captain felt ashamed, and said to Zhang Busan: "You should be the captain." The people who were afraid of suffering and suffering also saw through Zhang Busan's character and methods, and made up a jingle and spread it: The last two sentences were added by Zhang Busan himself.Everyone said that he has a good level of performance, which is what the captain said. 张不三当了队长，自然是不缺吃的不缺喝的，他那饥饿劳困症也就渐渐痊愈了。更让别人羡慕的是，他沾女人的机会也多起来。男女间的事，三十如虎四十如狼。虎劲没用上，积攒起来全部增添给了狼劲，叫做老狼添翼，威震百里。 乡村道上，不知不觉又有了一首顺口溜： 张不三不在乎这些讥诮和揶揄，乐呵呵地回敬道： 他这是个比喻，因为在他看来所有的男人都得“扬鞭催马”，都是“赶马车的人”。 他瞄准过不少小媳妇，以猛兽初舐人血的野浪，将自己渐渐塑造成一个偷香老手。他不怕张扬，因为她们根本不可能张扬。除非她们喝了豹血野了心，甘心做个不洁祖宗、有污门风的“烟渣”。俗语说；“烟渣女人随人卷。”张不三对石满堂和驴妹子的眉来眼去早就注意了。他之所以迟迟没有下手，是因为他还从来没有对任何一个大姑娘产生歹意，觉得那样她们就很难嫁出去，自己快活一夜，别人痛苦一生，这种事还是不干为好。 驴妹子骤然出落成了百里挑一的俊俏姑娘。她就要嫁给石满堂了。 按照围子村的习惯，姑娘结婚必须穿娘家人的衣裳鞋袜。驴妹子没有亲人，她身上穿的全是自己给自己准备的。出嫁那天，婆家人用驴车拉她来到满堂家门上。一下车她就左躲右闪，却怎么也躲不过，她穿的是“鸳鸯”（反其义而用，专指不配对）鞋，一只红一只黑，一只新一只旧，分外耀眼。围观的女人们全都捂着嘴吃吃发笑。在王仁厚媳妇的挑唆下，那些会说人话的狗崽儿羊羔儿便一哄而起，不知轻重地喊起来： 一声一榔头，十声十榔头，直敲得驴妹子一颗心在腔子里活蹦乱跳，牵动出五脏六腑的难过来，拧开了龙头的泪腺也直往外喷射那两股咸水儿。未及进屋，她那蒙住眼睛的袖子便早已湿漉漉的了。 “别哭别哭，弄脏了衣裳没啥换的了。” 谁知道说这话的婆婆是好心还是坏心，浪声浪气的，提醒了驴妹子，也提醒了那些来看热闹的刁钻婆娘们。她们眼仁骨碌碌转，亮闪闪的目光锥子一样地刺来，差点没把这新娘子洞穿，就只剩动手动脚里里外外翻个遍了。接着便是交头接耳：“哎哟妈，你没看见么？衣扣、衣袋、衣袖全是鸳鸯。”偏偏这时驴妹子不再抹眼泪了，昂起头，蔑视那些不断飞升而起的闲言碎语。她甚至想讲话，如同给一大帮鼻子上大办粉条厂的娃娃们训话那样——这鞋这衣是她进城换来的（乡里人虽有布票但缺钱花，就只好背着半口袋大豆去城里走街串巷吆喝着换衣服穿）。换来的！不是偷来的！鸳鸯好，鸳鸯俏，比起你们这大窟窿小眼睛的破布衫，我这还是涤确良涤卡凡尔丁的三合一哩。自然，话未出口，她就被人一把拽进了房里。 然而，大事已经不妙。围子人是宁养两条黄狗，不要一头大牲口。凡事总讲配对儿，阴阳不能失调，山水不能移位，天地不能颠倒，高低远近不可混同。可这新娘子，脚穿鸳鸯鞋，颜色新旧各异不说，鞋尖儿全都朝右拐。那衣服更是只能对立而无法统一：左袖红右袖蓝，红配蓝，死讨厌，不仅不好看，而且招人嫌。村子里的议论很快多起来：黑星下凡，扫帚头上带着股阴风凉气，灾难就像垃圾，是一疙瘩一疙瘩连绵不绝的。驴妹子过门，一则克夫，次则断后，三则亡家。心明眼亮、爱憎分明的围子人，一眼就把这新娘子看穿了。 驴妹子两年不育，满堂家面临断子绝孙的危险，并且谁也不敢保证往后她会不会将别的灾难降临到这个平静的家中。那些日子，满堂家的房里房外渐渐出现了一个随时移动着的阴森森冷冰冰的角落。这角落由人心和人嘴组成，制造忌恨，散播风言风语，放射寒光冷气。满堂家的人，包括那个夜夜搂抱着驴妹子的男人，也已经觉得她拖在身后的那股晦气越来越明显，越来越张牙舞爪。就在这时，驴妹子的公公病倒了，脘腹鼓胀，心口疼痛。再也忍耐不住了的婆婆撕烂脸面，扯烂嗓子，站在当院望天谩骂，说是骂鬼： “看见了，看见了，扫帚星临门了，黑老虎进家了，血口张开咬人了，鬼鬼鬼！白猫儿进了老鼠洞，出不来也进不去。好怪事儿哩！天到了地上，地到了天上，水往山上淌，风往心窝窝里钻。不是瘟猪来家，好端端的人咋就呻唤开了呢？” 骂乏了进屋，坐到炕沿上，守着皱巴巴的细脖子支不起大脑袋的病人，唉声叹气，叹着叹着又抹起了那永世抹不尽的眼泪： “命苦了天欺，人贱了狗欺。呜呜呜，天欺狗欺都来了。犯了天条的老祖宗，你为啥要叫我们受这种苦哩！” 这声音将乞怜和诅咒、伤感和悲愤纠葛在一起，粘粘糊湖分不清主次来。在灾难中生活的婆婆最拿手的便是这种五味混同的撒泼。那是一种所谓骂者无心、听者有意的艺术，聪明人不难意会那猪那狗那白猫那黑虎指的是谁。驴妹子是聪明人，在一个月光如水的夜晚，她知趣地离家出走了。石满堂明明看见了却装作没看见。第二天，他也没有去那间麻眼阿爷留给她的破房子里将她叫回去。她恨就恨在石满堂的这种举动上。她对他能不能做一个可靠的丈夫渐渐绝望了。 天旋地转水倒流，一切都得重新开始。 那日，队长张不三来到驴妹子门上说：“你的工分算错了，黑饭后来我房里核对一下。”她去了，无法不去也无法不留在那里过夜。她已是一个小媳妇，张不三对小媳妇是没有什么顾忌的，况且眼下她还是个失去了丈夫保护的小媳妇！再说，她想怀娃娃，想证明地里不结瓜是没有播进好种子的缘故。她盼儿盼空了心，想那张不三一定是个如狼似虎的角色，地中精气、天上阳火全漩在他的血道道脉巷巷里，雄种要是加身，瓜儿豆儿就会一嘟噜一嘟噜地结出来。她被张不三搂在怀里，一搂就是几晚上。好火色，她是生铁疙瘩化成水，她是石头块块融成泥。很长一段时间都被男人冷落着的驴妹子盼这火色烧身的愿望不知不觉膨胀起来，与日俱增，不可挽回。而对张不三来说，自从有了驴妹子，别的女人他就一概不沾了。如果她能给他怀上娃娃，他就想娶她。两个人恩恩爱爱、缠缠绵绵好几个月。村道上又有了一首专门为张不三助兴的歌谣： 而在满堂家，老人的病日见好转了。石满堂想把媳妇接回来，他母亲一听就吓得直打哆嗦： “冤家！你想让她克死娘老子么？插根尾巴她就是驴，你要跟她过，先把娘老子找个土坑埋掉。” 他父亲也说：“满堂，你就死了心吧。驴妹子跟了张不三，那是老天有眼，给了她好福份。我们命苦家寒，草木百姓一窝窝，活到下一辈子也不敢去队长碗里抢肉咂汤。” 石满堂表面上答应，背地里还是去了。他来到张不三门上，说是来看看驴妹子。驴妹子没让他跨过门槛，凄恻地说：“满堂，死了心吧，好好找个能生能养的女人过日子，我怀不上，永远怀不上了。”说罢，她就进去将门从里面闩死了。石满堂愣怔着立了好一会，才怏怏回去。从此，枯寂与他有了缘分，命运的捉弄滋生了他对生活的冷漠和对别人的怨愤。他是人，人所应该具备的东西一样也不缺包括那份黄金一样沉重的感情。这感情随着时间的流逝越积越厚，竟致于使他有了发誓不再婚娶、气气娘老子也气气自己的念头。只要父母一提起他的婚事，他就会大吵大嚷着给他们发一顿脾气。他变得暴躁起来，似乎天下所有的人都欠了他的债，都伤了他的心。他想复仇，可又实在不明白该怎样泄恨或者把怨怒发泄在哪里。几年过去了，张不三开始带人闯金场，为了防止石满堂侵犯他的权利，他将驴妹子也领走了。之后，他年年闯金场，年年带着她。他虽然不想和她结婚，但已经到了离不开她的地步。What about her?似乎也没想到过要离开他，至少在围子村，她是没有办法不经过他的同意去做别人的名正言顺的妻子的。张不三像一片幽深的海，淹没了她作为一个女人的选择和企盼，也淹没了她的记忆。
