Chapter 24 Chapter Twenty-Three

As soon as "Xianguling" was put into rehearsal, Yinwa was pulled by this play.She had watched a lot of operas before, and when she was free, she would hum a few times of Qin opera to relieve boredom, but she had never thought about the meaning of the operas. It was really a little monk who was chanting scriptures without thinking.This time it was different, because if she wanted to act, she had to think about the script, the more she thought about it, the more she felt, and sometimes she couldn't help but shed tears. These tears were shed for Lian Gu, but also for herself.She felt as pitiful as Aunt Lian.No, she is more pitiful than Lian Gu.Lian Gu still has biological parents no matter what, she still doesn't even know her own life experience.Lian Gu's parents were not willing to let her marry Huang Dasha, they wanted to marry her to the landlord because they were afraid that their daughter would suffer from poverty, no matter how they said their intentions were good.But she was different. Her parents married her to Beishan for the purpose of selling her money. They had no good intentions about this matter from the very beginning.In the play, Aunt Lian died of her best friend, which of course makes people feel distressed.But think about it the other way around, no matter what Lian Gu said, she stayed with Huang Dasha for a while. This man has always loved her so infatuatedly and was willing to die for her. It's too much.Compared to Lian Gu, Yin Wa felt that her life was wasted. No man has ever really cared about her or loved her since she grew up so big.Lian Gu has never been married but has tasted love, but she has been married but has never tasted love.The little doll by the North Mountain is not a man, he may have loved her or even be very attached to her, but that is another kind of emotion, just like in the folk song: Eighteen sisters, three-year-old man, piss and shit on the kang, Sleeping until midnight and wanting to breastfeed, two slaps: I am your daughter-in-law, not your mother!As for the baby's father, he may really love her, but can she love that old Shaobao?A woman who has never tasted love is the most pitiful woman, just like a piece of wood that has never been burned for a lifetime, and eventually rots into wood dross.

At the end of "Xiangu Ling", Lian Gu did not marry. Others may think this is a tragedy, but in Yingwa's view, it may not be so. At least Lian Gu is considered lucky compared to her.Aunt Lian can still remarry, after all, she is still a young girl, even if she ends up marrying that landlord surnamed Chen at worst, at least she has a real man.Unlike myself, when I got married, I didn't get a man but lost a widow. Now I don't have a status in a daze, and I can't get married if I want to marry! Don't look at Yingwa who is usually crazy, with a heartless look, as if she never thinks about what will happen to her in her life, in fact, this is a helpless move.Why doesn't she want to find her own way out?She said that she would stay at her mother's house all her life, which was an insult.Her parents hoped this way, a long-term worker who didn't pay wages didn't have to be in vain, but would she be willing to put her whole life in it for those two black-hearted ghosts?Not worth it at all!She has no choice but to stay here now.If her parents don't bother to remarry her, she can't find her husband's family by herself, right?That way others will say that she is flirtatious and can't stop thinking about men, not only scolding her, but also scolding her parents.But the parents have good reasons not to marry her, because she is the daughter-in-law of Beishan, and they cannot be the masters of other people's water thrown by the married girl.

In this way, the lead baby has become a person who doesn't care about anything. Even she herself doesn't know what to do with this marriage, so she can only drag it on like this in a daze. But now it's different.After hearing the new marriage law promoted by Zhou Ligong, Yinwa knew what to do.There was an arranged marriage on the bank of Beishan, not to mention that the nominal child husband also died. According to the new marriage law, as long as she leaves that family, the marriage will be automatically dissolved.Now that the marriage has been dissolved, she is now a bachelor, so there should be no obstacle to marrying.However, this time, if she remarries Yinba, she decides to make her own decisions.I used to worry about it, I only knew that marriage should be up to parents, but now I understand that this girl should find her husband's family by herself.Don't say that her parents are unwilling to find her a husband's family this time, even if they are willing, she herself is not willing.

Of course it's good to be your own master, but the question is who will you marry?Who is her Huang Dasha? There is such a scene in "Xianguling": Huang Dasha was shot by a gun, was seriously injured, and was carried to Wei Fusheng's house. Wei Fusheng felt unlucky and asked him why you went to Xianguling at such a late night. Dasha said that he wanted to see the light in Lian Gu's room from a distance.The lines in the play are like this: I am like this every night, even if it is windy and rainy, it has never stopped.As soon as I see the lights in this house, I feel like seeing a relative, and forget all the pain.Whenever Zhou Ligong, who plays Huang Dasha, said this affectionately, Yingwa would burst into tears.

Such a man is a real man!Such a man is worthy of her love! Where is such a man?Yinwa didn't want to marry before. On the one hand, it was because she couldn't be her own master, and on the other hand, she couldn't find anyone to marry.She looked around her, there was no one who could catch her eyes and mind, if she were to marry a man like Hei Ugly, it would be better than being single.Of course, a man like Hei Ugly is not a bad person, and he is even a very good man.Heichou is very filial to his mother, and Maowa is very down-to-earth, but Yinwa just feels that they are not the ones she wants to marry.Don't look at this Yinwa's poor background, her eyes are still high.

So what kind of person is the one who attracts the baby to marry?In fact, for a long time, I didn't even think about it clearly.She only knew what she didn't like. As for the person she wanted to marry, there was always a vague shadow swaying in front of her eyes. She seemed to be able to see it but couldn't see it clearly.It wasn't until one day a person appeared that she suddenly realized. This sudden realization startled her a lot: How could it be him? But it turned out to be him: Zhou Ligong! If this matter is spoken out, it will scare people to death!Isn't this incest?Zhou Ligong is the cousin who has not released the fifth service, how can she have such thoughts towards him?

But Yinwa had this idea, and decided that it had to be done.This idea seems to come out of the blue, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find that it has long been foreshadowed.Yinwa and Zhou Ligong were really childhood sweethearts, they were inseparable since childhood, and they even beat wolves together.Although Zhou Ligong went to school in other places and they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, Yinwa never forgot her second brother's life-saving grace.In Zhoujiazhai, Yinwa was disliked by others because of her status as a widow, but Zhou Ligong never disliked her after returning home.Not only is it not annoying, but it is as warm as treating relatives!On the first day of the new year, their family thought she was unlucky, so they avoided her. Only Zhou Ligong went to Lanyao to visit her and celebrate the New Year with her.His father wanted to force her to be a waitress, but everyone else pretended to be deaf and dumb, and it was her second brother who came forward to save her.People's hearts are fleshy, this man saved her time and time again when she was in danger, how could Yinwa not be grateful for him?What's more, he is knowledgeable, educated, decent-looking, has seen the world, and is enthusiastic about doing things for everyone. Such a man is rare in the world!

As for the seniority of blood, it's not that Yinwa hasn't thought about it, but the conclusion she draws is different from everyone else's. Aren't Lian Gu and Huang Dasha in "Xiangu Ridge" cousins?They can both get along well, why can't she and Zhou Ligong?Some people say that aunt's cousin has five clothes, and it doesn't interfere. As the saying goes, aunt's cousin, kiss on kiss.Yinwa felt that since aunts and cousins ​​were fine, then she and Zhou Ligong would have no problem.Although she called Zhou Ligong her cousin, everyone in the Zhou family village knew that she was adopted, not to mention Zhou Ligong, but she had no blood relationship with the entire surname Zhou, so why couldn't she marry Zhou Ligong?Child brides are popular in Guanzhong Road, and the eldest daughter-in-law and the younger husband are called sisters and brothers before consummating the house. This does not prevent them from getting married in the future. It has been proved that the marriage of unrelated brothers, sisters, sisters, and brothers is not considered incest.

But marriage is a matter of both parties.Yinwa thought about her own side, and had to think about Zhou Ligong's side.She loves Zhou Ligong, did Zhou Ligong love her then?Yinwa felt that she was sure of one thing, that Zhou Ligong liked her.There is no need to look for evidence, a woman's intuition is enough.But liking is not necessarily love, she knew that it would be difficult to make Zhou Ligong love her.This difficulty has at least three points: First, there is a difference in her level from his.He is knowledgeable and educated, but she is basically illiterate. Now that she has read some characters in night school, she is considered semi-literate.Second, he may already have a wife. Didn't he say that he kissed a girl at school?Third, if he wants to marry her, he may not be able to stay in Zhou's village, and others will call him incest.

But these difficulties can be overcome in Yingwa's view, she has a way to make Zhou Ligong transform liking into love.If the culture is not enough, she can learn it. No one is born a talent.It doesn't matter whether Zhou Ligong has a wife or not, as long as he is not married, she will have a chance. Isn't he not married now?As for the third point, "Xiangu Ridge" had already told her the idea. Lian Gu and Huang Dasha had planned to elope, and as long as they left their hometown, no one would interfere with them. Unfortunately, their plan was not implemented in time. So is Zhou Ligong willing to elope with her?This may be impossible in the eyes of others, but in Yingwa's view, there is nothing impossible. As long as you dare to do everything, there will be results.

One night in late April, there was a rehearsal for "Xiangu Ridge".Other people's plays are going well, but when it's the turn to introduce the baby, they make mistakes continuously, either because they can't remember the lines or they can't express their emotions, and they stumble.He didn't cry where he should cry, but laughed where he shouldn't laugh, which made Zhou Ligong very annoyed.He felt strange, was the baby attracted by an evil spirit?The previous rehearsal was good. She is the most sophisticated of all the roles. He even praised her. Why did she get stuck at a critical moment?It's almost the end of the month, and the performance is imminent, how can this work?The rehearsal was a performance without an audience, so Zhou Ligong couldn't waste too much time on Yingwa, so he had to put her aside for the time being and go through other people's scenes first. It was already late at night after the rehearsal, and Zhou Ligong asked everyone to dismiss and go home.Yinwa asked for an additional play, and the actor would guide her. Zhou Ligong also felt that this was necessary. If Yinwa didn't hurry up and rehearse the whole play, she would be dragged down. Everyone left, only Yinwa and Zhou Ligong were left in the ancestral hall.They rehearsed inside for a while, Yinwa said, this room is too stuffy, let's go outside to rehearse.At the end of April in the lunar calendar, the wheat has turned yellow, and it is indeed a bit hot. Yinwa and Zhou Ligong have been sweating for a long time. Zhou Ligong said, it's dark outside, let's bear with it. Yinwa said, I can't get my emotions out here. The incident between Lian Gu and Huang Dasha happened on Xiangu Ridge, which is a barren mountain. Zhou Ligong thought about it for a while, the actor could only arouse emotion in the prescribed situation, so he agreed.As soon as Zhou Ligong agreed, Yinwa was happy.The ancestral hall is a place to worship the ancestors. Some things cannot be done under the noses of the ancestors. She must take Zhou Ligong to the wild. Sure enough, there was a cool breeze outside, the last quarter moon was faint, and there was a thin white mist. The sleeping village was wrapped in white gauze, lying quietly in the embrace of the crops.The air was filled with the scent of ripening crops.Yinwa led Zhou Ligong to the outside of the stockade, Zhou Ligong asked, do you want to leave the village?Yinwa said, of course, in the dead of night, we yelled in the village, others would think it was haunted. On the way, Yinwa said to Zhou Ligong, "Second brother, let me tell you something." what do you say. I am not your sister. Zhou Ligong laughed, and he asked, who are you not my sister? Is it to attract a baby? Who is Yinwa?Zhou Ligong smiled and said, Yinwa is my sister. I didn't mean that, Yinwa said, Yinwa was adopted. It's also my sister who adopted me. The adoptive one is not of the same blood as your Zhou family. What is your Zhou family?It's our Zhou family. We are not a family, Yinwa said, don't treat me as a girl. Then what do I take you for? You treat me as... a stranger. Zhou Ligong burst out laughing, he felt that Yingwa was a little abnormal tonight.Just now when rehearsing the play, he was upside down, but now he speaks inexplicably.He asked Yinwa, are you okay?If we are too tired, we will go back and practice later. After hearing Zhou Ligong's words, Yingwa's nose was sore, she couldn't tell whether she was moved or wronged.She held back her tears and said, it doesn't matter, let's keep rehearsing after we are out.She said this not only to Zhou Ligong, but also to herself.There is no turning back when the bow is opened, since the matter has already started, she must finish it to the end! Since Zhou Lide became an adjutant, Zhou's village no longer had to guard the gate, and the gate was wide open at night.Yinwa took Zhou Ligong to the field outside the village, where there was a field of alfalfa.Alfalfa is not afraid of being trampled on, it is shallow and soft, like a layer of mattresses.The clover field is surrounded by smoke and wheat half a person's height, which encloses this place.Yinwa said, let's rehearse here, I am optimistic about it during the day, this place is like a stage. Zhou Ligong took a look at this place. Behind him was the vast Huanglongyuan, and in front of him were densely packed crop fields. The moonlight was dim and the surrounding fields were silent. It really resembled the desolate and depressing atmosphere of Xiangu Ridge.It seems that Yingwa knows how to play. Yinwa really knows how to play.She said to Zhou Ligong, second brother, do you know why I kept making mistakes during the rehearsal just now?The reason is not only me, but also you. Oh?Zhou Ligong asked, what's the matter with me? Yinwa said that the key to rehearsal is to let the actors enter the play. To enter the play, there must be an atmosphere of being in the play. You and I are acting opposite each other. How can I be in the play if you are not in the play? Zhou Ligong admired Yinwa's eyes.He really didn't fully participate in the rehearsal just now.It's not that he can't enter, but that he doesn't do it.He is a director and an actor, he has to supervise other people's performances while performing himself, and if he completely sinks into the role, he forgets his duties.However, most people can't see his half-awake and half-drunk state. He is an old actor, and he is familiar with the lines of this play.Yinwa is right. Acting influences each other. You can create an atmosphere for the other party and bring the other party into the play when you enter the play. Yinwa said, now that we are outside, the background here is correct, and there is no interference from anyone. You have to let go of the acting, and I guarantee you will be in the play once you get into the play. Why does Zhou Ligong feel that Yinwa is now a director, but he has become an actor instead.But an actor is an actor, it doesn't matter who is the director, as long as he can practice well.He said to Yinwa, don't worry, I will perform well this time. Zhou Ligong began to brew emotions.This is a necessary condition for actors to enter the play.Brewing emotions means imagining yourself as a character in a play, and experiencing the inner activities of that character in a given situation.A good actor can complete the transformation from self to role in a short period of time, providing huge emotional energy for shaping characters. The ultimate state of this state is to lose one's mind and forget oneself, completely entering the illusory world of drama and cannot get out.Although Zhou Ligong is not a professional actor, he has a talent for acting, which is probably inherited from Zhou Kewen. Zhou Ligong is not Zhou Ligong anymore, he is that hard-fated Huang Dasha who loves his cousin Liangu deeply, but his uncle Wei Fusheng insists on breaking them up and driving him out of the Wei family.He couldn't forget Aunt Lian, so he worked as a cattle watcher in the nearby Zhang family, but his uncle was afraid that he would find his daughter again, so he asked the Zhang family to resign him.He had no choice but to go to the city as an apprentice.He turned back halfway, he couldn't let go of Aunt Lian, he would rather be a beggar than leave Aunt Lian.Later, Wang Taoist of Xiangu Temple took pity on him and asked him to do some chores in the temple, and allowed him to settle under the stage in front of the temple.When he can't ask for food, Wang Daoren will give him some leftovers.In this way, he stayed near Xiangu Ridge for more than a year, in order to see his beloved Lian Gu.In fact, he couldn't see it, because his uncle strictly forbade him to get close to Lian Gu.Once he ventured to the door of Wei's house, and was discovered by his uncle, who beat him severely, and his uncle notified the militia that he, a homeless man, should be driven out of town.From then on, he didn't dare to take risks anymore, he could only climb up to the desolate Xiangu Ridge every night, where he looked at the lights of Lian Gu's window, until he was shot by a gun and carried to the living room of Wei's house. Zhou Ligong felt that his emotions of grief and anger had fermented to the point of explosion, and Huang Dasha blurted out his lines: A child who has no parents, no brothers, no relatives and friends, who is not doing well during the day, sleeps alone under the stage in front of the temple at night, it is really horribly desolate!When you start a fire, only your own shadow is illuminated; when you sing or cry, you only hear your own voice.Only then did I realize that the most terrifying thing in the world is neither wolves, tigers, leopards, nor ghosts, but loneliness! I am so lonely that there is nothing I can do.When the sun went down and the birds had all returned to their nests, they went to the back hill alone to look at the lights in the house, especially the lights on Miss Lian's window.When I saw the light on her window, it was like when I was a happy child beside my parents five or six years ago, when I went to the mountain here every day to call Lianmei out to play together.Especially at night when it is drizzling, the light on the window looks so dim from a distance, just like I caught many fireflies in autumn, and Lianmei packed them in eggshells.I stared blankly, thinking daydreamly, and didn't feel that my body was soaked by the raindrops. I didn't go back to the stage until the lights went out and Lianmei fell asleep. After more than a year of wind, frost and hunger, his body has long since failed.It has been a little bit cold and hot these days, so I didn't look at the light on the window here for two nights.I'm afraid it won't be far when my parents are kneeling, and I heard that Miss Lian is going to get married in a few days, so I went to this mountain again tonight, wanting to see the one I haven't seen for two nights, Maybe the light, which will never be seen in the future, didn't want to trip over the medicine rope as soon as it arrived on the mountain and get shot.I only hoped that the shot would kill me so that I would not have to suffer any more. I didn't expect to be able to see Miss Lian alive. It was worth it for me to take this shot, and I would die too.Aunt Lian! With the last heart-piercing cry, Zhou Ligong burst into tears and trembled like a pendulum, as if his strength had been exhausted and he might fall down at any time. Brother!Yinwa replied, and Lianmei was here.She threw herself into Zhou Ligong's arms, hugged Zhou Ligong tightly, and put her lips to his mouth.Zhou Ligong quickly sucked the baby's lips like a drowning man grabbing the trachea, and the two trembling bodies fell slowly on the alfalfa ground... Zhou Ligong completely forgot who he was, and didn't know what was going on, he was confused, his clothes fell off, and Yingwa's clothes fell off too. Just as these two young bodies were entangled passionately, something unexpected happened.A black shadow suddenly jumped out from the wheat field on one side, picked up their clothes and ran away, shouting while running: Come and see, brother and sister are having cunts! This sudden change stunned them, and they instantly returned to reality from the plot.Yinwa thought, no, there is no such trick in my plan. The plan to lure the baby is to lure Zhou Ligong tonight and ask him to cook raw rice into cooked rice, so that she can tie Zhou Ligong. Whether he likes her or loves her, he can't run away anyway.It's better to be pregnant with a baby, so Zhou Ligong will have to elope with her.She didn't care, she was already a widow anyway, and she didn't care about her reputation, but Zhou Ligong couldn't afford to be ashamed, he was well-educated, and he had to take care of face when he traveled from state to county.He had a woman in private, and this woman was his cousin, the spittle of the villagers could drown him, so he had no choice but to leave.She knew that it was a bit immoral to do so. It was a trap for Zhou Ligong, but she might not be able to catch Zhou Ligong if she didn't. She loved him too much and didn't want to lose him.This point Zhou Ligong should understand and forgive.Besides, she expected that Zhou Ligong would not stay in his hometown for a long time, and would definitely leave Zhou's village in the future.How can a learned man like him be willing to live in a pit for the rest of his life?Don't look at the rural transformation he is doing with great interest now, the countryside is so easy to reform?People have lived a smooth life for several lifetimes, but you are still not used to it if you change it!There will always be a time when he is too tired to do anything, and at that time he can only slap his ass and leave.Since they all left Zhoujiazhai, the result is the same whether Zhou Ligong left by himself or because of her. It can't be said that she made him unable to stay in his hometown, right?Besides, he didn't go in vain. He took away a big girl from the village, right? All these reasons to lure the baby are well thought out, including the seduction steps tonight, which she has carefully designed.But she didn't plan to catch rape at all, so why would someone suddenly insert a stick in the middle and disturb the good thing of seducing a baby at a critical moment? This person is one-eyed.Monocular is to avenge himself.Ever since his daughter-in-law was told by Zhou Ligong that he had run away, he hated Zhou Ligong so much that he was determined to take revenge.He once thought that the cat would hit Zhou Ligong with a brick in the dark, and let that dog's head bleed on the kang for a year and a half.He told his father about this idea, and his father called him a pig head and a dog's head, saying that you don't even think about it. Everyone knows that our family hates Zhou Ligong the most. Mingdetang is rich and powerful, so it's not easy to clean us up?You have to be clever, we don't have to do it secretly, we have to do it openly, find an upright excuse to make him look ugly in public, no matter how crooked he is, he can only bite his teeth and swallow it.Shanyan said, where can we find excuses?The big head said, Zhou Ligong is so crazy, bumping into each other in the village will always provoke Mada, so keep your eyes wide open.Later, when he wanted to act, Shanyan was also involved in it. He is a student of the night school.During the rehearsal process, he found that Yinwa had a problem with Zhou Ligong, she always stuck to him, and looked at Zhou Ligong in the wrong way, so he thought it was a bit strange, so he told his father.In fact, everyone has seen the meritorious service of Yining Baby Nian Zhou, but others don't think about it in a wrong way.But Shan Yan's father and son are different, they hope that the two of them will make a fool of themselves, so they naturally take this as a sign of making a fool of themselves.The big head's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he said to his son, as the saying goes, it's really like this in the place where the school and the playhouse have sex.Shan Yan said, they are brothers and sisters, can they do this?The big head said, Yingwa is a little widow who has been alone, she is thirsty!I'm not sure that something will happen to them, but if something happens, it will be a big scandal, and it will definitely ruin Zhou Ligong's reputation!If you want revenge, you have to work hard and keep a close eye on them.Shanyan remembered his father's words, and since then, every time he rehearses, he has eyes on the back of his head, carefully observing the two people's every move, and even when they go home at night, he will quietly follow them to the door.After the rehearsal was over tonight, he heard Yingwa's request for an extra play, so he didn't go far when he left the ancestral hall. The cat was peeping at the ancestral hall from behind a stack of corn stalks.After the two men came out, he followed far outside the village and hid in the wheat field next to the alfalfa field. The wheat was half the height of a person, just enough to cover him.When the two hugged each other tightly, his heart jumped out of excitement.Zhou Ligong, you have today too!He jumped out of the wheat field, picked up their clothes and ran away. Shanyan shouted while running, his voice was particularly loud in the silent night, and it woke up many people from their sleep.Shan Eye quickly crossed the street, ran to the door of Zhou Shuancheng's house, rolled the two clothes together, wrapped a half piece of brick inside, and threw it through the courtyard wall.Shanyan's approach is very smart, he doesn't go to catch rape, in the wilderness, there are two people and he is one, isn't that looking for beating?As long as he snatched their clothes and called out the whole village to let everyone see them naked, what else would they say?In order to ensure that the fire will be ignited, the clothes of these two people must be handed over to Zhou Shuancheng. Everyone knows that Zhou Shuancheng is at odds with his brother, and he is even more awkward with his nephew, a foreign student. It's a pity that Shan Yan couldn't hold his breath, he was too anxious, he jumped out before the two people entered the port, and only grabbed two coats. Zhou Ligong and Yinwa, who faced each other naked, were dumbfounded.Zhou Ligong has been staring in a daze, how did they embrace each other?How did he take off his clothes?He seemed to be bewitched by someone, and he didn't know it.The shock just now made him sober, and he was dumbfounded when he saw Yinwa who was naked.What's going on here?How could he do such absurd things? Let's run, second brother, the baby said, let's run.Although Yinwa was also surprised, she didn't panic. The well-designed things were interrupted, which made her annoyed, but she felt that this might not be a bad thing.Although her original plan was not to let the villagers know about their affair immediately, and only let her coerce Zhou Ligong in private, but now that she can't cover it up, she might as well make it public, which will force Zhou Ligong to fail. Do not leave Zhoujiazhai immediately and elope with her. Zhou Ligong said in a panic, okay, let's go.Yinwa was so happy that she almost jumped up. He not only said to leave, but also said us, which shows that he already regards her as a family!However, the joy of introducing the baby did not last long, Zhou Ligong suddenly stopped walking.He thought, why should I run?What did I do?I didn't do anything, I couldn't explain my run, and let others slander me behind my back. Zhou Ligong didn't leave.Yinwa was very disappointed, but she didn't dare to push her too much, for fear that Zhou Ligong would see through her intentions.She said, it's okay if you don't leave, I'll take care of it!
