Chapter 7 Chapter 6 Borrowing Seeds

On the second day after the old housekeeper and Fu left, Mr. Su, Mr. Zhaigong of Liangzhou City, rushed over on a big bay red horse. Hearing the sound of the horse's hoofs, the young lady's heart suddenly brightened.She jumped out of the west wing, and regardless of what the servants in the courtyard thought, she hurriedly called, Mr. Su—— When the old housekeeper and Fu arrived at Beishan again, a donkey had already started on the road with the twenty-year-old bride Guo Guoci on its back.On the long loess trail in Beishan, the sound of April's suona blows people's hearts to death. When the northwest wind blows, the tearful eyes of the old housekeeper and Fu Lao are fascinated by the sand and dust.Who would have thought that the donkey was going to go to the house of the old steward He Fu's nephew with the fruit thorns on his back.In order to stop Dongjiazhuang's foolish act of adding a second bedroom to Mingwang, and for the sake of the young wife's wick, the old housekeeper and Fu had to hide the truth and acted out this scene at the cost of his nephew's life.Fortunately, the twenty-year-old Guoguoci is still a satisfactory daughter-in-law, but unfortunately she is three years older than her nephew.

And who would have thought that it was Liu Xiazi, a half-immortal from the back mountain, who prompted Guoguoci's family to marry before the wheat was pulled out, regardless of the man's family background!When the old steward and Fu were running back and forth between his nephew's house and Guoguosi's house, the half-immortal Liu blind man chose to break into Guoguosi's house inadvertently at a time when the yellow wind obscured the sun. After telling a myth, the adoptive parents were frightened and terrified. They wished to immediately carry the girl on their backs, stand on the top of the mountain and shout, "Who will marry, don't want a bride price, take it away quickly."

The old housekeeper He Fu cried loudly on the mountainside of the north, and divided some of the silver taels and cloth that he brought with him, half of which was sent to Guoguosi's natal family, and the other half was left to his nephew's house. Here, Mr. Zhaigong Su of Liangzhou City is still speaking impassionedly to Dongjiazhuang. He even brought out the secrets of the North and South Second Hospital, saying that if Dongjiazhuang refuses to listen to dissuasion and insists on going his own way, then the people in the North and South Second Court will , will no longer be the wronged soul of the second uncle and third uncle, and there will be continuous blood disasters in Xiaheyuan...

What he said made Dongjiazhuang seem to have seen the flying blood.He yelled and fell to the ground. The action of Dongjiazhuang to add a second room to his son had to be suspended due to the strong resistance of various forces. After Mr. Su, Mr. Zhai, Liangzhou Chengzhai, Dongjiazhuang fell ill.By the time he was able to get up and walk again, half a month had passed. During the period, Liu Songbai, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor from Houshan, paid a solemn visit. He walked into the West Wing Room again by comforting his daughter, and gave Mingwang's pulse under the eyes of the nanny Renshun's sister-in-law. Fortunately, Mingwang's pulse has improved a lot. recover completely.Although this kind of news is exciting, the young mistress Dengxi is not happy for life or death.

A drenching rain fell for two days and one night, and it was the time when the leaves of the rapeseed jointed and turned green. Er Guaizi came back from the Nanshan Coal Kiln on a muddy road. It's the wick, and I can't help a burst of heart heat. The fatigue all the way is gone, and the long-thirsty soul seems to meet the rain, but the footsteps are hesitant, not daring to go forward. Although Dongjiazhuang's plan to build a house for Er Guaizi to marry a daughter-in-law failed to materialize, it deeply affected Er Guaizi. To live seriously, it was the night when Dongjiazhuang went to the kiln that he had a clearer understanding of himself.After Dongjiazhuang left, the idea of ​​marrying a daughter-in-law became clear in Er Guaizi's mind, and it became stronger and stronger.Er Guaizi used to have a vague and chaotic concept of a woman, which was inseparable from squabbling. Now he has to make her concrete and implement her into a real person.As soon as this was realized, Er Guaizi jumped out of a scene in his heart.

It turned out that he was also hiding a woman in his heart. He hid it very secretly and firmly, but he was also very afraid. It shouldn't be hidden but he hid it anyway. What the second kidnapper is hiding is the lamp wick of the young lady of Xiaheyuan! Ever since that dark night entered Er Guaizi's heart, he has never been able to forget it.The moment he picked her up from the slope of Heijiling, he was destined to be crazy about this woman in this life.The scene of that night is still vivid in my memory, and it has become a fond memory that burned him, tortured him and tortured him for countless days and nights after that, but must never be discarded.After the sedan chair was on the road again, Er Guaizi quickly slid his hand onto the woman's lap. This was his usual behavior. No matter whose bride he carried, Er Guaizi could always get some money.But this time he was resisted. The woman in the sedan chair seemed to have been prepared, and her sharp nails dug him hard. The pain made him scream at the moment. Fortunately, every time she did this, she used dirty words as a cover , The bearers didn't care.Er Guaizi was not reconciled, and stretched out his hand again. The woman didn't use her fingernails this time, and replaced it with an awl. In the pain of the awl, he felt bleeding from his hand, and he put it on his mouth. It was really salty.A vicious woman, cursing in her heart, but singing with her mouth.As the sedan chair went down the mountain, Er Guaizi thought that this trip would be all right, the woman would not let him succeed, so he thumped the pole of the sedan chair in frustration, wishing he could smash the sedan chair, and carried the woman down the mountain to see where else she could hide?At this moment, there was a creaking sound in the ear, like a sound of breaking. Er Guaizi was in a daze, when suddenly a hand grabbed him and pulled him in hard.Surprised, she realized it was a woman's hand, and she was so excited that she wanted to scream, but the woman pressed his hand on the rope buckle. When she touched it, the rope buckle was being loosened step by step, and the end of the sedan chair pole was released from the rope buckle. disengaged.The second kidnapper was shocked, as soon as the chair pole was thrown off, not only the woman would be finished, but he would be finished too, and the woman who fell would be taken to the ravine together with him.

Er Guaizi firmly grasped the rope buckle with both hands, and scolded the bearer to stop in panic, but Liu Gen, the housekeeper behind him, yelled at him to hurry up.Hearing the voice of the housekeeper Liu Gen, Er Guaizi understood that he must have unfastened the buckle, and he was the only one who had moved the sedan chair on the road. He was surprised at the time, thinking that the sun came out from the west, and the housekeeper Liu Gen worried about getting the sedan chair.I didn't expect him to make such a murderous move.The second kidnapper couldn't care less, he could only put his life on the rope buckle, half of his body got under the sedan chair, with his head on the woman's buttocks, it was an extremely thrilling movement, if there was a slight mistake in his feet, he might not even have a chance to shout, buried forever in the valley.But Er Guaizi couldn't care less about being afraid, he grabbed the loose space of the chair pole in the violent tremor, and spent a whole bag of cigarettes before refastening the rope buckle firmly.This job can only be done by his second kidnapper. If someone else is replaced, I am afraid that he will see the King of Hades long ago.After the sedan chair was lifted up again, the whole body was drenched in cold sweat.

It was a thrilling scene, and my heart still beats violently when I think about it.The woman regained her senses in panic, firmly grasped his hand, and never let go.But Er Guaizi didn't care about cheapness anymore, he comforted the woman with his hands, but his heart wanted to be a housekeeper. That thrilling night made Er Guaizi and the woman a kind of life-and-death friendship. Thinking about the viciousness of the housekeeper Liu Gen, I couldn't help but worry about the woman's future. After yelling that sound, the moment he opened the curtain, he saw the eyes of the woman Qi Qi Ai Ai, and those eyes instantly looked into his thirsty heart, and he couldn't let go of them ever since.The moment she hugged the woman and jumped over the fire, the woman said softly, hugging her tightly...

Hold on tight—— The same voice actually made the woman call out again.On the night after the rain when the turmoil in Erfang had calmed down and Xiaheyuan returned to its normal state, the young mistress quietly held the lamp wick on Sitangzi's kiln to call Er Guaizi. She stood in the dark night, as if waiting for him to come in through the wall. Before Er Guaizi could recover, she had already heard Ai Ai's voice, murmuring. I don't remember how I hugged him, and how I got on the kang. I only felt that after a call, my body fell into the ditch cliff, and sank empty, as if I had struggled. Gradually, the struggle became softer, wrapped in the breath of green grass. She, soaked in the scent of cauliflower, hangs in the air and cannot fall, clinging to the person who is holding her, longing to fall to the ground or rise into the sky together.When I woke up, I had done everything I needed to do, and a pool of blood was in full bloom, dazzling red.

Er Guaizi was even more at a loss, not knowing what happened, not knowing what he had done, not even knowing whether he was in a dream or a vain conjecture, until the wind stopped and the rain stopped, and it was clear that he was in the West Wing. On the kang of the house, I saw clearly that there was a real person beside me, but I was still too scared to confirm.He rubbed his eyes, and then rubbed again, until he saw that the young master's family was alive and well asleep at the other end of the kang, and then he screamed and jumped off the kang in fright.I can't live, I can't live, my God—— Er Guaizi yelled while dressing, his expression was like hitting a ghost in the dark.The young mistress Dengxin jumped off the kang at the same time, threw his trousers and drank, and left quickly!The second kidnapper yelled father and mother, put on his trousers and ran, his legs softened when he climbed over the wall, and he fell headlong behind the wall.

Night, silent, silent.The hustle and bustle just now was like a wave in the sandy river. It was beaten and passed without leaving any traces, or it should not have left any traces.After a long time, the young mistress Dengxin heard a sentence in her ears, it was left to her by Mr. Zhaigong Su from Liangzhou City after persuading his father-in-law. This time I blocked it for you, but if I can block it once, it won’t last forever. I'm afraid that sooner or later there will be... The young lady wick trembled, put on her clothes, got off the kang, and came to the courtyard.The sky after the rain was extraordinarily refreshing, and the air was so humid that crops could grow in one's heart. Looking at the collapse on the wall and the escape route of the second kidnapper, I couldn't help laughing.Think about what you just did, Wick doesn't regret it.It's just a repayment of kindness and a return of one's wish.Going back to the kang again, my heart felt at ease. I'll lay an egg for you to see! Yaotou Yang Er insisted on not letting him and Fuxiu Lane. The old alley needs to be repaired and supports are needed. There are plenty of logs in the mountains. As long as it takes a month, the old alley will be able to safely produce coal again, and the coal that has been bypassed can be dug out twice. The old butler talked to Fu several times, Yang Er, the head of the kiln, got angry, he scolded He Fu, he didn't eat too much and cared too much, what did he want to do?He Fu called Renxiu, but none of the potters listened to him. The old housekeeper and Fu Gan were anxious and helpless, and ran to look for the lamp wick. After listening to the young lady, the lamp core smiled and said, "It's okay, you should go back to the house and take a good rest for a few days. You should eat and sleep. This alley is repaired by you." Yes, I'm afraid you won't be too busy by then. The old housekeeper and Fu went back to their own room in a daze, still not at ease in their hearts. A few days later, a message called Yang Er back home in a hurry, saying that something serious happened in the house.The young mistress Dengxin heard the letter and told her father-in-law that she wanted to go to the kiln.How could the land of Dongjiazhuang be willing to agree? Nanshan Coal Kiln is a place where women go, they can't avoid it, and dare to send taboos there?The young mistress Lampwick completely lost her daughter-in-law's obedience this time, and said with a straight face, I just want to go, the kiln is my own, why can't I go, I don't believe it will collapse when I see me.Dongjiazhuang jumped up with anger, do you still think the kiln is not chaotic, where is the duty of the daughter's family?Dim Wick ignored his father-in-law and sent his servants to the stables to lead the animals.The father-in-law stopped again, and her hard words came out. Anyway, I also carried it in a sedan chair. I also have a share in this family. If you don't trust outsiders and don't trust your own daughter-in-law, I have nothing to say, but I worry about you. I am afraid that none of those individuals can be relied on.While talking, the person has packed up and left the door.One sentence hit Zhuang's sore spot, and Dongjiazhuang knew that she was determined to go, and it was too idle to stop her, so she came out and said, change the dirty pants on her body... Don't worry, I will change everything that needs to be changed. This time he was riding a mule, and his companion was the boy Shitou.Not daring to delay all the way, rushed to the kiln when the sun was setting.The cripple Wang Er, whom her natal family had met, had already been waiting on the road. When she saw Lamp Wick, she greeted her with a smile on her face. Lamp Wick just threw one sentence over. your.Cripple Wang nodded quickly, "I know, I know, young mistress, don't worry. He Fu, the old housekeeper who came one step earlier, heard the sound and rushed out. Seeing that it was the young lady's wick, he stopped her in a panic, and couldn't get in. Young lady, this is a place where the elders trade their lives for money. You have to go in. Even the ancestors will be uneasy. Seeing that he was also so pedantic, young mistress Dixie got angry, pushed him away and said, I want to see who is the plague god on the kiln?One sentence was so overwhelming that no one dared to speak out, the old housekeeper and Fu lowered their heads, their faces were so embarrassed that they had nowhere to put them. When the setting sun was dyeing the forest red, the young mistress Lamp Wick gathered all the kiln customers into the coal yard. At this time, she looked like a man, and the red jacket was replaced by a green one. Forget it, I don't care, from now on, all the big and small things in the kiln will be listened to by Hefu, whoever doesn't listen will take the wages and leave immediately, Xiaheyuan treats the kiln customers well, and doesn't want the kiln customers to deceive them.It doesn't matter if you don't dig coal, but Xiaheyuan hasn't learned how to judge people's faces. What he said made all the potters lower their heads, looking at their feet with red necks.The lamp wick took a new breath. Starting tomorrow, wages will rise, and meat will be added to meals. At the end of the year, each person will be provided with an extra stone coal. Anyone who doesn't want to do this can tell me. The potters buzzed for a while, but no one stood up.Only then did the wick call, come out, you two cripples. The crippled Wang Er stood up tremblingly, his anxious eyes flicked around.Dim Wick looked at all the kiln tenants and said, this is my new master. To tell you the truth, he is from my natal family, but what I like is his unique skills. From now on, things in the nest will be He calls the shots. The old housekeeper and Fu looked at her, not understanding what she meant, but they didn't dare to have the slightest doubt in their hearts.Because he really didn't understand much about the matter in the nest, and he was still worried when the young mistress Dengxin asked him to be in charge of Kiln Alley, it turned out that she had already taken a fancy to him.Seeing He Fu looking at her, Dieng Xin said, old housekeeper, don't be too careful, let me start with what I said, if the lame man dares to play with his hands and feet in the nest, just follow the kiln's rules and drive him away! The second cripple hurriedly said, don't dare, young lady, if my second cripple doesn't do well in the nest, I won't be raised by my parents. I'm sorry you don't dare! One sentence shocked the entire coal yard into silence.The potters naturally knew that these words were not only addressed to the lame man, but they were even told by the lame man.At that moment, everyone broke out in a cold sweat. In the evening of this day, the young lady of Xiaheyuan gave the kiln customers enough prestige, and really opened the kiln customers' eyes. Unexpectedly, I really did not expect that there is such an awe-inspiring woman in the world. On the way back, the boy Shitou mentioned her majestic appearance and said, "Your appearance is really frightening, and all the potters have been overwhelmed by you."Wick asked with a smile, are you afraid?Stone blinked his eyes and said, don't be afraid.Why are you not afraid?Shitou chuckled, you are my sister. Both of them laughed out loud. It was the morning of the next day, and the sun shone warmly from the top of the mountain, wrapping their bodies.Looking back, the receding Nanshan is like a huge back, covering a lot of warmth and romance, and also covering the heart of young mistress Dengxi.In the kiln, she insisted on being cruel, and did not admit to the old housekeeper He Fu that Er Lame was not from her natal family.Some things should be faked when they should be faked, otherwise, these dozens of potters can't be shocked by just a single blessing.The mountain road is winding, twists and turns, the gentle wind in late spring blows on the two young faces, and the heart of the young lady Dengxi slowly rippling with the mountain scenery.Not long after walking, she suddenly called Shi Shi and asked him to ride up too.The stone swayed, and finally jumped onto the mule's back with a blushing face. When the mule left again, a strange man's breath rushed over, stirring his heart.Young Mistress Dimwick couldn't help but grabbed Shi Shi's hand and let him wrap it around her waist. Hold it tight——she called out in her heart. The mule thumped, the heart fluttered, and the journey was so beautiful. Yaotou Yang Er was called back by a really frightening word. One day, Blind Liu, a half-immortal from the back mountain, inadvertently transferred to the Qingshiling of Nanshan. He was carried by Chen Qijin, a rich man from Nanshan, with a jujube red horse to get rid of his eyes. After half a year of Chinese medicine, there is no improvement.Blind Liu, a half-immortal, spent seven days changing the stove, turning the courtyard door, and building a chimney two feet seven high. Jin accompanied him for a walk up the mountain.As soon as he arrived at Qingshiling, Banxian stopped suddenly, sniffed around, and shouted, here is the Yin vein!Then he fell to the ground.Waking up for half a day, I wondered, there must be a yin house here, with seven yin houses, the hateful villain is playing tricks on this house, the blood is soaking in the mountain, the wind is blowing everywhere, every family in Qingshiling is uneasy, every two years Small funerals, big funerals every three years, especially for female relatives.If this house is not moved, not only will the descendants of this surname have no peace, but it will also bring disaster to the innocent people in Qingshiling. Yunbi seemed to be suffering from a serious illness, with cramps at the corners of his mouth and cold limbs.Chen Qijin, an old rich man from Nanshan, hurriedly called his servant to carry him back, and he went to the study for two days to relax, when the half-immortal blind Liu suddenly offered to leave.It is said that the ground veins here are so dangerous that I dare not stay for a long time.All the villagers who came here after hearing the news knelt down and kowtowed, begging him to do his best to restore Qingshiling to a bright future.The descendants of the Yin House were even more terrified, for fear that if the Banxian left and the funeral would come, the Banxian would kneel down if he refused. There is no way, the half-immortal Liu Xiazi couldn't stand the pleadings of the crowd, and agreed to stay for Qingshiling's Anmai to bring down the Yin, but he made a request, if he said, the whole Qingshiling had to do it.Everyone had already made him feel terrified, so there was no reason to disagree, they all nodded and said yes.Blind Liu, the half-immortal, told everyone to go away, and closed the door to get distracted. After a long time, a spirit possessed him. He said through the mouth of the Erlang God that the yin house was suppressing the yang house, and the fierceness scattered around, alarming the Jade Emperor. , the Jade Emperor will send fifteen heavenly soldiers to arrest the person who is infected with the evil spirit. If the mansion is not moved within two months and the evil spirit is not eliminated, Qingshiling will hold fifteen funerals in a row.At the end of the cloud, Er Lang Shen got out of his body, and a blue smoke shot up into the sky.Banxian almost collapsed, lying on the Kang for a whole night, he didn't get better. Suddenly there was chaos on Qingshi Ridge. The yin house is the grave of Yang Er's family, so the second brother Yang hurriedly sent someone to call Yang Er back.After slaughtering chickens and goats to entertain them, Blind Liu, a half-immortal, took out a compass, located the four mountains, and chose a new tomb, but said that the tomb would be moved at noon after the 49th day of July. It is necessary to burn incense and worship Buddha, and call back one by one the undead, so that they can rest in peace forever. If any undead is to be missed, Qingshiling will suffer even greater revenge.When Banxian said, Qingshiling was even more frightened. Chen Qijin, a rich man, was afraid that the Yang family would disobey the rules and harm the whole world, so he came every day to watch them like thieves. Now, the Yang family will have a good show to watch. Butler Liu Gen fell into a state of panic, he was greatly disappointed that Guoguo's thorny matter hadn't been done, and his dream was dashed in the blink of an eye.The mabagger hurried, but he still didn't stop the matter. Those who marry will marry, and those who marry will marry, what can he do?However, he told the housekeeper, Liu Gen, that Guoguo did not marry someone from a well-to-do family, but the poor old housekeeper and Fu's nephew. He Fu, you are so cruel!The housekeeper Liu Gen hated. The uneasiness caused by Guoguoci has not been eliminated, and when he heard that something happened to Yang Er's family in Yaotou, the housekeeper Liugen sighed that God was not open, and insisted on opposing him.On this day, he heard that Hefu was doing a lot of construction work on the kiln, and even took control of the Nanshan Coal Kiln in his own hands, and he was even more angry.He Fu, just wait, if I don't give you some strength, I won't be raised by my parents! The butler Liugen walked into Xiaheyuan, Dongjiazhuangdi was taking a nap with his snuff pot in his arms, and he didn't even lift his head when he heard the footsteps.He stood silent for a moment, trying to get out.Dongjiazhuang lazily said, come? Butler Liugen said, I want to tell you about the oil workshop. What happened to the oil mill? Nothing. What did you say?Only then did Dongjiazhuangdi open his eyes, and he could see that he was a lot haggard, his eyelids were loose, his face was sallow, and there was a sense of looseness between his brows. Butler Liu Gen asked tentatively, feeling unwell?Zhuang Di snorted, waved his hands, and motioned for him to sit down.Butler Liu Gen was speechless for a while, he had come to inquire about the news, he was surprised by what the young mistress did on the wick kiln, she actually disregarded the taboo that women could not go to the kiln to show her prestige on the kiln, and even asked He Fu to stop the old and new alleys Tossing around the old alley day and night, he guessed it wasn't Dongjiazhuang's idea. Have you heard about the kiln?Butler Liugen was still deliberating on his words, but Dongjiazhuang asked about it. just heard. What do you think?Dongjiazhuang's eyes stared at his face, the eyes seemed real and fake, and the butler Liugen couldn't guess what he was thinking for a while, so he could only say vaguely that it was somewhat wrong for the young lady to go to the kiln, but the matter was over, and the Dongjia didn't have to take it too seriously, let He Fodor is worried.Dongjiazhuang smoked, as if he did not want to hear the name of the young mistress Dengwick.The housekeeper Liu Gen put on a look of fear and continued to say some worried words. Seeing that Dongjiazhuang's brows were tightened together, he smiled slightly and said, my words may be superfluous, so it's better not to say them.Dongjiazhuang raised his head, and suddenly asked, as if holding back his energy, what happened to the old kiln? Liu Gen was taken aback, he didn't expect Zhuang Di to ask this, and hurriedly said, I just heard about the old kiln, and it's all because Yang Er didn't care, but I think he might have his reasons. Don't you often go to the kiln, don't you know? Look at you, do you know what can make him like this?I'm not very good at kiln work, no better than an oil mill.Liugen still wanted to explain, but Zhuangdi stopped him and said, forget it, it's too late to say it now.Guessing that there would be no good things to say if he sat down again, the housekeeper Liu Gen wanted to leave, so he heard Dongjiazhuang asked with concern, how many months has he recruited his brother? It's almost my birthday. Oh.This is the third child, right? It's the fourth child. Fourth?Hey hey, look at my memory, I'm really old and confused, this is the fourth child, hurry up, lead me to have a look, I haven't even given the New Year's money for the New Year, go, go.Dongjiazhuang talked and pulled up the six roots, calling the nanny Renshun to get things, one bite at a time, this is the fourth child, the fourth child, my lord, the fourth child!Go to Liugen's house. Looking at Liu Gen again, his face is like that of a cabbage gang, so blue that there is no blood in it.He firmly believes that Dongjiazhuang will never be so old. When the third child was full moon, he still wanted to drink. He did it on purpose. Seeing how excited he was when he talked about the fourth child, he wished to use his chest full of energy on the fourth. .This afternoon really made Liugen suffer a lot. The enthusiasm of Dongjiazhuang was several times beyond his imagination. He wandered around in and out, pointing fingers from time to time, saying that this place should be repaired and that should be demolished, and he said in front of Liutiao that Liugen was really It's so powerful, I made four of them, look, how attractive they are.The most irritating thing is that people in the village alleys hold people's hands from time to time. Look at my memory, as long as there are three children, the fourth child will laugh.People were surprised at first, but when Dongjiazhuang was really confused, they all laughed meaningfully when they understood. Butler Liu Gen gritted his teeth with hatred. It was just getting dark, he couldn't bear the anger in his heart, he wanted to go to Xiaheyuan to vent, how capable you are, marrying a third-bedroom woman to become a half-life immortal, you don't know tomorrow, dare to humiliate me.When I met Cong Riganzi on the road, I insisted on dragging him into the house, and when I entered the door, I heard Riganzi say, I have to endure, and I have a knife on the head of Ren. I wish I could kill him. Look at you, you're losing your temper, aren't you?It's worth fighting with him for trivial matters, but I can't bear to make big plans, so I can't be fooled by him.After persuasion for a long time, the six fires were suppressed.Riganzi took out a bottle of Baigan, and the two drank it. Liugen said, if I don't destroy Xiaheyuan, I'm not raised by my mother.Ri Ganzi then said, what kind of scheming does Zhuangdi have? It's Hefu. The two arranged to scold He Fu severely, and after the scolding, Ri Ganzi said, "You can't let him go, you leave this matter to me, I don't believe that he and Fu are just smoke pots pinched by copper, and they are still precious." It can't be done. Coming out of Riganzi's house, the night was already very quiet, Liugen was burning in his heart, and wanted to find a place to vent, so he came to the Xiahe courtyard involuntarily, yelled to open the door, and entered the courtyard.The noisy Xiaheyuan during the day seemed to be asleep at this time, the outline of the courtyard was reflected by the dim lanterns, half bright and dark, Liu Gen couldn't help but think of the scene when he first entered the courtyard as a long-term worker.It was not long after his father died, because he owed money for the coffin in Xiaheyuan, Zhuangdi asked him to put sheep on top for three years.He was twelve years old that year, and he clearly remembered what his father said when he died, baby, my father was exhausted to open a new lane for Xiaheyuan... Somehow, he felt that his father had come back to life, standing in front of him, stroking his hand. his face.He couldn't help but say, I want to destroy all the old alleys and new alleys, all destroyed! The wind blew up and made his body tremble. Liu Gen stood for a long time before he thought of entering the house. When he turned to the side room for a moment, he couldn't help but glanced at the west wing. Suddenly, a shadow flashed in his eyes and jumped in from the north wall. Blink is gone.Liu Gen was startled at the moment, thinking that there really were thieves, and instantly realized that it wasn't a thief, blood rushed up, and without any hesitation, he walked towards the courtyard of the West Wing, went over the wall, and sure enough heard movement in the room, like two people arguing , and there were pushing and shoving sounds, and when it was clear that it was the second kidnapper and the wick, the butler's heart jumped. Butler Liu Gen groped back to his own room with a beating and uneasy heart, sleeping on the left and right, unable to sleep, the tearing and tearing sounds in the west wing room made him catch a new reason for killing the woman in the back mountain, and, that The sound made his body excited all at once.The butler, Liu Gen, hadn't eavesdropped on the window root for a long time, and his sleepy nerves were extremely active at this moment.He couldn't help but put on his clothes and went out, turned around in the alley, and unexpectedly arrived at his uncle Riganzi's house again.Butler Liugen was about to call for the door, when he suddenly heard a rustling sound inside, probably because he had been drinking, and he was surprisingly active that night, so the butler Liugen stuck his ears to the window lattice like a ghost, oh my god, the sound coming from the house, It was my aunt screaming like crazy.Butler Liu Gen couldn't control himself anymore, he licked his tongue, a hole was rotted in the window, and the scene inside suddenly made his eyes straighten in shock. Ri Ganzi rode a donkey to Nanshan Mountain twice, and everything became clear.The old housekeeper and Fu spent a month to re-fortify the old alley.The alley has expanded by three feet, and even the corn bread can straighten up and enter people.A large part of the tree was gone, and a layer of skin fell off the kiln tenants. Two trips to Liri pole to accomplish one thing, big event.Just wait, this time, I will let him cry the blood. Butler Liu Gen kept his expression on his face, and he still had the words in his mind, I want to destroy it, destroy it all.Ri Ganzi said it again, and he could hear how happy he was.Seeing that Liugen didn't make a sound, he said dissatisfiedly, "Listen, no, people are talking to you."Butler Liu Gen nodded, "Listen, listen, I've been listening."Riganzi wanted to get wine again, and Liu Gen jumped out of the scene he saw that night in his mind, and with a snort, he laughed and said, "If you can't drink it, something will happen if you drink it."He couldn't figure out what he said in one sentence, and said, "Look at you, what's going on in your mind all day?" A huge disaster happened on the fifth day that housekeeper Liu Gen drank with Ri Ganzi. When Dongjiazhuangdi and young mistress Dengxi rushed to hear the news, the whole Nanshan Mountain was already shrouded in grief. The water came out in the middle of the night.Before going to bed with Fu, he even scolded the card players to go to bed early, because tomorrow they will have to work hard to produce coal.After everyone fell asleep, he couldn't fall asleep. He kept thinking about what was wrong. After thinking about it, he remembered that it was a few pillars of the nest. Later, he went to check in the nest where the coal was produced, and saw Erguaizi lying sideways. , and did not support the pillar firmly according to the words of the two cripples.He scolded and settled the matter with Er Guaizi.At dinner, he asked Er Guaizi, but Er Guaizi said he couldn't remember clearly.This dog day, I lost my soul all day long, running down the mountain twice in three days, it’s not a big deal, so thinking about getting up, I asked Er Guaizi to go down together, Er Guaizi said that he had a stomachache, and said that if you don’t want to kill me, I will do more , Tomorrow, if we go further, we will delay whoever died.He Fu scolded the pig, and went down by himself with a lantern. When Er Guaizi woke up, seeing that the sky was already clear, he got up to feed the donkey. After feeding the donkey, he wanted to tell He Fu that he didn't want to go to the kiln today. After thinking about it, he said he had a stomachache.I didn't see He Fu when I went in. I asked a few people and they said they didn't see him. Er Guaizi panicked. It is said that the pillars should have come up long ago, and he could still sleep in the alley.I hurriedly called the potter to go down the alley, and as soon as I entered the alley, I felt wet, and halfway down, the water came up violently.Running out of the alley, I exclaimed that the water is coming out, the alley is flooded.As soon as they heard the water coming out, the kiln tenants were startled and scattered. When the two cripples come up another mountain, things will get serious. The old alleys were flooded. The turbulent water gushed out from the old alley, rolling black coal and wood, and filled the entire coal yard.The second cripple looked at it, and cried out.Er Laizi went to another Jiashan to see Fengxiang. Coal will be produced tomorrow, and the ventilation of Fengxiang is the key.I didn't think... It is common to see water in the alley, but it is small water, and the potters naturally have a way to deal with it.This is the first time I have seen such a large amount of water. Moreover, this is by no means a simple leak of water. Either the roof of the kiln has leaked out, or a side alley has been opened up.The second cripple was so frightened that his mouth turned purple. What Dongjiazhuangdi and Young Mistress Dengxin saw was a mess, the entire old alley disappeared, the flooded alley collapsed, and the old alley for several generations was destroyed. The old housekeeper and Fu are gone. The boy Shitou rushed towards him crying and screaming loudly, making the mountain tremble. Dongjiazhuang stared at the lamp wick, wanted to curse something but couldn't curse, but he couldn't stop cursing in his heart, you are so powerful, you are majestic, you don't believe in gods or ghosts, what about this time? The young mistress Dim Wick held back her grief, and with just one glance, she understood everything, and the worrying thing still happened.But at this moment, how could she say it?Standing silently for a while, she knew that she couldn't stay for long, the kiln tenants were all on fire at this moment, maybe they would vent all their anger on her head, and forced the stones to go down the mountain.The second kidnapper followed closely, looked around for no one, and said, you should keep your mouth shut.Seeing his face, Dim Wick suddenly lost his temper, get out!Er Guaizi staggered in fright, retreated a few steps, wanted to say something, looked at the wick, did not dare, and walked away in despair.Lampwick's hatred immediately turned to him, thinking that I have repeatedly instructed you to stay at the entrance of the new alley at night, and no one can enter the old alley before the coal is out. have eaten? After hating for a while, the lamp wick was not reconciled, and called two cripples.The second cripple turned pale with fright, his lips trembled, and he couldn't even stand up. Dim Wick asked with a dark face, what did I explain to you? The second cripple burst into tears. When something like this happened, he knew that he was guilty, but he still couldn't help but say, Young Mistress, blame me, I, the second cripple, failed your high hopes.But how could you have guessed that this kiln is several times worse than you thought.Not only is the old alley dead, but the windy alley is also blocked in a mess. I got a lame leg. After looking at the old alley, I can’t take care of the windy alley. I only care about the windy alley... The young mistress Dengxian heard something from the two cripples' words, she put away her anger, and said kindly, "Get up, I don't blame you, I know you have tried your best, but my heart... As I said, tears rolled down my face has overwhelmed her. The second cripple couldn't care less about talking to the young mistress Dengxi, Dongjiazhuang was still drinking and cursing at the kiln, picked up his lame leg, and asked the master to try to carry Hefu's body. The Shitou family fell into a huge disaster, and Fengxiang passed out when she heard that something happened to Hefu.The lamp wick hurriedly called for help from the grass rope, pinched the person, and then woke up with urine, and the room suddenly burst into wailing like a mountain torrent.The young Shitou's eyes were dazed, and he went up and down the kiln, and he became like this. Young Mistress Dimwick shed tears again. In the month of late spring and early summer, Xiaheyuan experienced an extraordinary blow.The relationship between Dongjiazhuangdi and the young mistress Dengxi almost collapsed because of the water leaking from the Nanshan coal mine, and the family is not even talking now.In this catastrophe, Dongjiazhuang aged a lot at once. The double blow of losing the old housekeeper He Fu and Nanshan Old Lane almost killed him. Too old to even lift his head up. Young Mistress Wick is the only one who resists this disaster.At the critical moment, she once again showed her masculine demeanor, and her pungent and capable skills impressed everyone.She first asked all the neighbors to help her, and slaughtered pigs and sheep for the old housekeeper and Fufa. The scale of the funeral surpassed that of any dead person in the ditch, and even the third wife of Dongjiazhuang did not enjoy such a rich funeral. treatment.All the two sets of Taoist classes in the North and South Mountains were invited, and they played for seven days. All the white cloth in Xiaheyuan was brought out, and Xiaobu was pulled from Xiaheyuan to the old housekeeper and Fuyuan. The steward and Fu made filial piety, which won the hearts of the people and opened the eyes of the people in the ditch.A pure cypress coffin may not be able to earn it even if the people in the ditch have worked hard all their lives. The old housekeeper and Fu not only slept, but also had extra coffins. Few people have heard of one coffin and one coffin outside the ditch, let alone seen it. .The money spent on the funeral can match the annual expenses of Shangxiaheyuan. Then she dismissed all the kiln tenants in the Nanshan Coal Mine, including the desperate Er Laizi, and paid them five buckets of coal each after paying their wages, leaving only the straw rope man and Er Guaizi to feed the donkey on the mountain.When the kiln tenants left, they kowtowed to Xiaheyuan without exception, and asked Lengxin when the coal from the new kiln would come out. A potter named Wo Erduo couldn't stand the gaze, and his legs went limp.Young Mistress Dim Wick kept a secret, asked the servants to ask Xia Woerduo's home, gave her a piece of coal and left. After finishing all this, she went to Nanshan again. This time without Shitou, she rode on the mountain road alone. The eyes of the young Shitou, who had been looted by grief, came back to her eyes, and the lingering guilt made her staunch heart hammer. There was a blunt sound, and those who owed stones would not be able to repay even if they took out the entire Xiaheyuan. 少奶奶灯芯要下新巷的疯狂举动吓坏了二拐子，天啊，她也能想得出，就是站在这巷口上，二拐子都觉浑身抽凉气，还敢下巷？二拐子觉得女人疯了，为个老管家和福，值得再把自个命搭上？他退缩着，支吾着，说甚也不肯一道下去。他本想拦挡女人的，见女人鬼催似地要往巷里跳，就说要下你下，我还没活够。少奶奶灯芯让他的话激起一股火，忍着没发作，心里，却对二拐子彻底失望了。这个贪生怕死的孬种，自己居然将希望寄托在他身上，真是瞎了眼。 草绳男人提了马灯，走在前面。新巷远比老巷要好走，东家庄地半生心血打下的这巷的确凝聚了他的智慧和汗水，一进巷便让人感到他天生是吃窑饭的命。巷里一石一木布局合理且充满想象，远比他新建的下河院北厢房让人神往。灯芯跟着草绳男人，很快到了巷垴头，草绳男人让她小心，进了小巷便是上坡，果然费起劲来，不多时她便接不上气。草绳男人担忧说，要不回去？灯芯歇缓片刻说，再上。草绳男人用力推她，手撑着她屁股，两条胳膊奋力用劲，折腾了几次，总算爬了上去。进了煤槽，草绳男人刚要喊就听哧溜一声，灯芯滑了下去，重重地摔在煤上，腿失去了知觉。草绳男人在她的呻吟里跟下来，摸黑抱起她，用力在腿上揉半天。灯芯说挖煤真是碗不好吃的饭呀，怪不得说一脚在阳间一脚在阴间。草绳男人说，世上哪有好吃的饭，你当东家就好当？一席话说得灯芯眼圈湿了，拧拧鼻子说，再上。 终于爬到了窝头，还好，窝头里通风，呼吸不是太费劲，两人分开摸寻，一袋烟工夫，草绳男人喊，找到了。灯芯顺着声音摸过去，见草绳男人正在一个废弃的小窝头里蹲着。 窝头里啥也看不见，草绳男人却让她屏住气听，果然，就有细小的风声响进来，脸贴到窑壁上，湿润的水汽能感觉出来。草绳男人说，不会错，人就是这儿进去的，那头定是老巷。灯芯还要进，草绳男人喝斥道，不要命了，踏错一步就是鬼门关，快上。连拽带拉将她弄出小窝头，草绳男人已是一身的汗。 爬出新巷已是半夜，二拐子傻傻地坐在驴圈门口，知道彻底惹下女人了，果然问了几声女人都不吭声，伤心地回到屋里，一头倒在炕上。 二拐子想，他跟女人之间是彻底的完了。 草绳男人分析得没错，定是个知道底细的人，清楚老巷的水路，提前从新巷穿进去，将岩壁松动，等和福下去一用劲，不冒水也得塌顶，人是活着出不来。 这也是个拿上命赌的下家。草绳男人最后说。 灯芯脑子里再次冒出窝儿朵黑瘦的脸来。 惩治窝儿朵的行动还未来得及实施，下河院又让乌云罩了顶。窑毁人亡的惨痛悲剧终是没能放过东家庄地，他在日复一日的伤痛中不幸病倒，剧烈的咳嗽令他接不上气，说话都很费力。 下河院陷入惶惶不安中。 少奶奶灯芯一头关照男人命旺，一头，心扯在上房公公身上。公公不肯吃药的怪诞行为令病情日益加剧，过了半月，瘦得皮包骨头，不忍目睹。奶妈仁顺嫂精心熬了人参汤，一勺一勺喂给他，灯芯炕头前默立一会儿，心事重重出来了。 白日里管家六根的嚣张气焰这阵又浮上心头，下河院接二连三的不幸令管家六根心花怒放，不时要来骚扰院里的主人。白日他把羊倌木手子扇了顿嘴巴，说他把牛料喂给了羊。其实这是灯芯发了话的，羊料没了，水磨还不能用，石头整日神不守舍，灯芯怕他再有个闪失，就让水磨先停了。木手子问她，她顺嘴说先拿牛料喂几天。管家六根不分青红皂白发了火，木手子刚要顶嘴，巴掌已到了嘴上。望着木手子委屈的样，灯芯啥话未吭，从后院出来了。 此时，管家六根一双幸灾乐祸的眼睛就闪在她眼前，黑夜下极似狼的眼睛，发着幽幽蓝光，她闻到狼的气味，充满整个院子。孤独无援的灯芯这时恨不得有三头六臂，对付眼前发生的事。 一个太阳异常燥热的傍晚，派去打探消息的下人回来了，带来的消息令少奶奶灯芯沮丧万分。窝儿朵死了，是自己上的吊。窝儿朵将赏的一石煤和发的工钱拿到南山家中，在瞎眼娘的炕头前默默坐了两夜，然后到两个弟弟家转了一圈，回来就把脖子挂到了早拴好的绳套上。弟弟发现时，人已经臭了。 下人说窝儿朵自幼死了爹，是瞎眼娘一把屎一把尿拉大了兄弟三个，窝儿朵十四岁上跟着杨二背煤，拿力气给两个弟弟换了媳妇，盖了房，能过起日子了，自个跟瞎眼娘还睡在破草棚里。村里人说窝儿朵想今年给娘盖间房，正在张罗着买料。灯芯听到这儿问，没难为他家吧？下人说我们把事儿说了，他娘哭着求我们，放过他家，还把窝儿朵挣的工钱给了我们。下人正要掏麻钱，灯芯猛地黑了脸说，谁叫你们拿的，没心没肺的东西，还不送去？当下便骂着下人连夜返回，顺便还让拿了丈五青布，说是给他娘将来做老衣吧。 看来他真是个孝子呀。 这已是葬了和福两个月后的日子，窝儿朵以命还命，表明良心还在，可没良心的人呢？一想这些，灯芯的牙就咬得格格响。 酷暑晒得人身上发馊，菜子却像铆足了劲地疯长。东家庄地年前的话没说错，今年确是个好年景。少奶奶灯芯有心思到地里转时，菜花早已满山遍野，满目的灿黄登时让她阴着的心一片晴朗，像是一只箱子里困久了的蜜蜂，见着花香便不管不顾。踩着青青草地，寻着一片一片的菜花往深里走，果然见放蜂人早在沟里摆好了蜂箱。放蜂人来自遥远的南方，却对这神秘的沟谷有着割舍不下的情感，每年大雪纷飞收拾起蜂箱远走他乡，等菜花的味道漫过沟谷时便又神奇的出现。放蜂人是一对中年夫妻，远远冲灯芯招手，脸上的笑跟菜花一样灿烂。灯芯大胆走过去，却听他们说一口地道的沟里话，心一下近了许多。这个下午她是在愉快的谈喧中度过的，回来时手里多了罐蜂蜜。放蜂人说蜂蜜清咳化痰，清火利尿，有着中药的神奇疗效。 饭后，安顿奶妈仁顺嫂将蜂蜜跟枸杞一块熬了喂公公喝，自个快快出了门，朝沙河沿杨树林走去。 沙河水浅了许多，河底石子清晰可见，浪花打着朵儿欢快地跳跃，落日映出的波光一晕一晕，沙河就像一条长长的飘带，舞着动着，飘向远方。脚下的青草没过脚踝，每踩一步，身子都会软软打出一个颤儿，披满霞光的杨树林微风中婆挲起舞，墨绿的叶子泛出荧惑的光芒。落日让一切变得美妙，云烟氤氲中灯芯一步步走近水磨房。 当年东家庄地一怒之下轰走老管家和福，连工钱都没给他算。老管家和福没一句辩解之词，终有一天，东家庄地差人带话，让老管家和福去水磨房。磨房共有两盘磨，一盘磨牲口饲料，一盘磨面。这是庄地叔叔置下的产业，据说当年是拿五匹枣红走马换下的。和福到磨上后，终日闲不住，便在磨房四周植起了树，到现在，阔大的杨树林已能掩住水磨房了。
