Chapter 12 Chapter Eleven

The water-red quilt was covered on the wedding night. After covering it once, it was put into the box again, and it has been pressed until now.If he doesn't come again tonight, I'm afraid this bed will be locked in the box for another few years. It was getting cold in a blink of an eye, and a cold wind mixed with cold current hit the mouth of the gorge and rolled to the top of the mountain. The withered and yellow eyes shrank into a bleak moment, and the difficult time for Qingshiling came. For three days in a row, she didn't go out to collect food. The three-year-old Yueyue accidentally caught a cold and had a fever all day and night. Now, her small throat coughed again.Sister-in-law Wu baked a handful of burnt millet, and broke off a clod of stove soil, which was hot to the touch. These are earth recipes from the gorge, burnt millet, stove clod, and ginger water, three treasures for reducing fever and curing cough.Shiliang pinched the baby's nose and asked Mrs. Wu to pour it, but in his own eyes, it was clear and muddy, as if he had encountered something difficult to overcome.

This baby Yueyue is really good, maybe, all motherless babies in the world are like this, they know how to live according to other people's faces since they were young.Seeing that Shiliang had a worried face, he didn't even cry for three days.Sister Wu sighed and said, "Don't make your face so ugly, you can scare the baby, just say it when you encounter something, don't pretend to be in your heart." Shiliang handed Yueyue to Aunt Wu, saying: " I'm worried about her, look at her now, how can she still live at home?" "Living at home? Come to the Lu family, you don't have a fever, do you expect her to live at home for you, have you never eaten grains?" ?" Because Mrs. Wu has always been kind to Shiliang, she is always biased towards Yingying.

There was a muffled sound of picking up food.He is not counting, he is... Alas, I can't say a word or two clearly, anyway, he is really worried about Shui Yingying. It was dark yesterday, and Shiliang was already asleep, of course not with Shui Yingying, they haven't slept together yet.If it wasn't for Erye Shui's sudden whim to let Yingying retire from Shiliang and marry a dog, they would be able to sleep together that autumn.Shui Yingying was already ready, and she was waiting for the day when she would personally lead the food to the kang and into her bed.Unexpectedly, Second Master Shui came up with such a bad idea, which broke Shui Yingying's heart again.It was hard to come and go, so the two of them still slept separately.It's just that now I don't sleep on the door panel to collect food, but also sleep on the kang.In the spring of last year, the Shui family renovated the south courtyard. The wall in the middle was demolished, the original house was demolished, and five new rooms were built, all of which were for Shiliang and Yingying.In the clear, they lived in the big house in the middle, but in the dark, only Yingying lived in the big house, and they lived in the west end with grain. There were also two rooms, and there was also a kang.

Not long after Shiliang went to sleep, Yingying came back.This time, Yingying always went out in the dark at night, and asked about picking up food, what do you do every day?Yingying didn't answer, and Shiliang didn't ask any more questions, but he knew that he must be going out to meet Feng Chuanwu.Yesterday, Hei Yingying suddenly walked into his room with a sullen face, as if she had just quarreled with someone.Pick up food and get off the kang in a hurry to give her a seat.Yingying kicked away the broken shoes under the edge of the kang: "It's good for you, you are hiding in the shelter. Are you worried about the things in the courtyard?" : "What's the matter, it seems to make you angry?"

"Feng Chuanwu, a bastard, I can't spare him!" In a word, the grain was buried in the ground.He didn't dare to think about Feng Chuanwu and Shui Yingying, and he couldn't think about it. Once he thought about it, he couldn't be a son-in-law, and he didn't have the heart to grow this medicine. "What is it, I ask you, you are not a man, you are a man, you go and chop him up with an axe." As he spoke, he threw an axe behind him.The shining ax made Yueyue wow in fright, and when she saw Shui Yingying glaring at her, she stopped dumb. "Baby, baby, you scared the baby." Shiliang threw the ax over and hugged Yueyue.

"Useless stuff!" Shui Yingying finished cursing, and went out with a mournful face.One night, I didn't dare to close my eyes to collect food.I'm afraid that as soon as he loses a nap, someone will die in the yard. Regarding Shui Yingying and Feng Chuanwu, there were many things to say in the courtyard, and Mrs. Wu said: "I think she has eaten flowers, huh, I will keep an eye on her, and she will follow to Liangzhou Go to the city and enjoy yourself!" The dog scolded even more fiercely: "Eat what's in the bowl, dominate what's in the pot, and you won't be afraid to choke to death!" Those who don't scold, except for Second Master Shui, are Daddy.The source told him again and again: "Be patient, baby, bear with your heart, don't quarrel with others, serve their bowls, eat their meals, you have to be angry with them, at worst, just like your father , Your father has never had a woman all his life, so he is still alive?"

The words are reasonable, but it is really hard to bear it! Early the next morning, Shui Yingying rode to Pingyangchuan, saying that she missed her second sister.The person surnamed Feng also followed, saying that he was worried that Yingying would go alone, but Shui Yingying was very happy, so she immediately went to pull the horse for him, but after walking not far, the person surnamed Feng came back.Not long after, Shui Yingying also entered the courtyard angrily. What are these two doing? On the tenth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, when Shiliang was thinking about what to say to Shui Erye, there was a sudden thunder in the courtyard, and Feng Chuanwu fell to his death!He fell to his death on the big eagle's beak, and his eyes were taken away by Peng!

Hehehe, Second Master Shui immediately ran out of the yard over there, holding two pillars of high incense in his hand. "Dead, really dead? Hurry up, kowtow to God." As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed to God three times.Feng Chuanwu, director of the Liangzhou Drug Inspection Bureau of the National Government and director of the Qingshiling Defense Division, asked Gedawu to push down the big eagle's beak. He never dreamed that Shui Yingying, the third daughter of the Shui family, took a thin rope and slowly Bind his heart, day by day, and finally led him to the big eagle's beak.Feng Chuanwu is such a cunning person. At first, he firmly did not believe that Shui Yingying would fall in love with him, but he really couldn't stand the temptation of this woman. The way she seduced him was so ingenious. One look, A flattery, or even a word of resentment, can make Feng Chuanwu, who has a four-bedroom wife, fascinated.It can be seen how tricky this woman is with men.Feng Chuanwu's nerves were tense at the beginning, and he even secretly made a deal with himself that he would never believe this woman's rhetoric before she came to the truth.But in the end, he still couldn't control himself.

If a woman seduces a man, the man really cannot resist.If a woman uses temptation to plot against you, 80% of the time, you will die. In order to deceive Feng Chuanwu, Shui Yingying really tried her best. She didn't dare to do it in the yard, and she didn't dare to do it on the grassy beach. It's not that there is no chance, the opportunity has happened, Shui Yingying almost wanted to do it, but Think again, what about downloading?Feng Chuanwu couldn't compare to those soldiers who were captured to eat food. If her father got hurt because of this, she would not be reconciled.There is only one place to attack, the big eagle mouth.But Feng Chuanwu firmly set the range of activities with her within 500 steps from the courtyard, which made her plan almost a delusion.That day, I thought that we could lead him to Pingyangchuan together, but as soon as we got out of the big grassy beach, he could not control his life and death.Unexpectedly, Feng Chuanwu woke up after not taking a few steps on the horse, and said that he would not go, so angry that Shui Yingying wanted to turn over the grass beach and throw Feng Chuanwu into the sister river.

The opportunity came yesterday when Shui Yingying risked being stripped of her trousers by Feng Chuanwu again, boldly walked into the Upper Court, and said, "I lost that thing." "what's that?" "The jade pendant you gave me last time." "Lost it, are you really lost?" Feng Chuanwu exclaimed.The jade pendant was originally given to the fourth concubine. When Feng Chuan returned to Liangzhou five times, he and the fourth concubine had a fierce quarrel. In a fit of anger, he took the jade pendant back.This jade pendant was passed down to him by his mother. It is very precious. He had hoped to win Shui Yingying's heart, but unexpectedly, she lost it!

"Where did you lose it?" "It must be the big eagle's beak." "It's okay, what are you doing in that damn place?" Feng Chuanwu tried to hug Shui Yingying while cursing.Shui Yingying avoided him resentfully: "I don't care, you have to help me find it." "How can I find that place?" "I can definitely find it. I will look for it early tomorrow morning."Seeing that Feng Chuanwu was a little shaken, Shui Yingying pretended to be obedient and said, "I can't sleep if I lose such a valuable thing." "Look, look, can't you just look for it?" Feng Chuanwu hugged Shui Yingying with his arms.Shui Yingying didn't bite him this time, but said shyly: "There are many people in the courtyard, people who come to Lu's house, they only step on their heels, tomorrow, when you get to Dayingzui, you can do whatever you want. " Feng Chuanwu was contradicted and excited all night long, the sentence "you can do whatever you want" really made his heart boil.When I got up early, I couldn't help but walked to the backyard. When I met the dog, I asked the third lady if she was up?The dog pursed his mouth and ignored him.When I went to the stables, the horses were gone. This heart can no longer be controlled. Feng Chuanwu rushed to Dayingzui, but Shui Yingying was nowhere to be seen. He was about to shout out, when he saw a shadow flashing in front of him. Isn't that red dress and blue trousers the person I've been thinking about day and night?Immediately, his footsteps became crazy, and as soon as he reached the edge of the cliff, he stumbled and fell down in a somersault.Immediately afterwards, a gun was placed on the head. "Feng Chuanwu, I've been waiting for you for a long time." The sound of Liao Wu resounded on the cliff. "Ga... big..." Poor Feng Chuanwu, he never saw Shui Yingying's face until his death, but it was Peng, whom he was most afraid of seeing, who rushed down with a slanting thrust and precisely pecked away both of his eyes.Until his death, he didn't even think about when this woman got mixed up with Pied Five! The days turned calm again in a flash, including the subsequent news that Shuan Wuzi was hanged by Situ Xueer on the gate of Liangzhou as a communist bandit, which did not cause much disturbance in Qingshiling.It seemed that the death of a person was no longer a big deal to Lingshang.What people are more concerned about is how this cold winter will pass? Shui Erye saw the right time and made a decision that made the helpers very excited. This winter, they don't have to go back. For the sake of everyone's hard work throughout the year, this winter will be spent in the courtyard.At that moment, when the cave-cutter came, he called a few helpers, and yelled to pull coal. The cold winter is coming, when the mountains are covered with snow, the second master Shui came out of the yard. In late autumn, he suffered from a disease. It was not a strange disease. , accompanied by vomiting.Second Master Shui originally thought he wouldn't be able to survive this autumn, so he even sent someone to Wanzhong Terrace to invite Boss Shui.It's strange to say that on weekdays, Second Master Shui never remembers that he has a brother. Only when he is sick, and when he feels that he is about to die, does his brother's face suddenly pop up in his mind. Come.Old, this symptom, is it not old?On the day Wanzhong Taishui's boss was brought here by a green mule, something happened in the courtyard. The newly arrived battalion commander Zhang who replaced Feng Chuanwu suddenly wanted to go to the Tibetan area, specifying that he wanted to collect food and lead the way.Shiliang refused to agree because Erye Shui was ill, which annoyed Battalion Commander Zhang.However, instead of tying them with ropes, Battalion Commander Zhang punished him by tossing the straw mats that had just been pressed on the ridge again.Picking up the food was suffocating. Is it easy to turn over the straw mat?As a result, when turning over, there was an extra person behind him, Gu Jiu'er.Gu Jiu'er was also punished by Commander Zhang this day. Commander Zhang wanted to eat a bowl of yam to stir up the mess, but Gu Jiu'er refused to make it, saying that only those few yams were left for the people in the first hospital to spend the winter. You eat stir-fried dumplings, what do other people eat?Battalion Commander Zhang was so angry that he immediately punished him to go to the mountain.Battalion Commander Zhang stood on the other side of the ridge with his gun on his back.This is the new style brought by Battalion Commander Zhang. If anyone causes trouble, he will be fined to work without being tied up with a rope, and he will watch it himself.It is said that when he was in the team, he led troops like this. Battalion Commander Zhang was in his thirties, but his beard and black face made him look older than forty. This man spoke with a loud voice, but walked like a gust of wind.As soon as he came, he told the people in the courtyard that he had a wife who was darker than him and had two children, but he hadn't seen his wife for five years. Ask him where he is from, he will not tell, he will eat food, and he will be from wherever he eats. This person is a bit strange, compared to Feng Chuanwu, he looks like a good person, but no one dares to regard him as a good person. Gu Jiuer accompanied Shiliang tossing the straw mats, tossing and tossing, and the two of them quarreled. Gu Jiuer was very angry at Shiliang that day, and poked his finger and scolded Gu Jiuer several times, but ignored it. Battalion Commander Zhang from Liling came back angrily. He locked himself in the house and refused to come out to eat when he was called.The dog brought the food in flatteringly, but was quickly kicked out by him. Almost at the same time, the two old brothers from the Shui family were holding their noses and crying, talking about those distant things that outsiders would never understand. Shui Erye was able to survive this solar term, not because Shiliang gave him some medicine, he didn't give him any medicine, he was sick and recovered, and Shiliang only went in twice.Once, to put the urinal on him, and once, to dress him in old clothes.In the end, the urinal was broken by Master Shui, and the old clothes were thrown out by the boss of Wanzhong Taishui. "People haven't thought about losing their temper yet, you can't wait any longer, haven't you been planning this family business for a long time?!" Speak from the standpoint of younger brother Shui Laoer.Just this one sentence, let Second Master Shui understand that no matter how stinky the meat is, it still tastes the same, and my family is my family! Before leaving, Boss Shui said: "Hold on, brother, if you can see the snow through this season, your life will still be long, longer than mine." Unexpectedly, he really saw the snow. Snow, it's white, you can't see the end at a glance, it's snow that connects the sky and the earth.Second Master Shui bowed deeply towards the vast snow field and this holy mountain, and in his heart, he even wanted to kneel down piously and kowtow.Then, he played wildly in the snow, which was even more ridiculous than a teenage Shaobao baby. Picking up food is far less proud than Second Master Shui.During the long autumn, the medicine grower was attacked from all sides, including Donggou cold doctor, who also called him to Xigou at dusk, and tried his best to persuade him to black out.Those words, I can only rot in my stomach, and I dare not say them at all.Faintly, Shiliang feels that there is a conspiracy brewing in this ditch and gorge, maybe one day when he opens his eyes, this world will become different.The medicine growers were not afraid of death, nor did they disbelieve what Gu Jiuer and the others said.But he is a pharmacist, and he wants to become a pharmacist.He will never forget those words that Uncle Pharmacist Xicai said. "Partisan disputes, in fact, are brothers with knives, you pick me and I pick you, dynasties, no one is picked out in the blood and blood, those killings are not done by a pharmacist Yes." "Being a pharmacist, you have to remove the words "enemy and self" from the bottom of your heart, otherwise, the medicine you grow is a scheming one. Some people eat it for a long life, and some people eat it for a long life." "Boy, Remember, to be a pharmacist, you must have a clean heart. The blood on your body must be the same as the snow water in the Maya Snow Mountain, and your hands must be like the two nipples that your mother used to feed you. Do not let them suspect each other and kill each other." With these words, what else can Shiliang listen to? He said to Gu Jiuer: "You are a cook, can you cook two kinds of rice in one pot?" Without thinking about it, Gu Jiuer said, "Yes, one pot is for the revolutionaries, and the other pot is for the reactionaries." " Shiliang pondered for a long time, and replied: "It's still two pots." Gu Jiu'er still yelled at him, and Shiliang asked back: "What do you want me to do?" "You can't plant medicine for the reactionaries." "What I grow is medicine, revolutionaries who eat it are revolutionaries, and reactionaries who eat it..." He suddenly ran out of words.According to Gu Jiu'er's thinking, reactionaries cannot be allowed to exist in this world.According to Leng TCM, revolution means taking the country from the reactionaries.Even the old fools joined in the fun: "Let's make a revolution, gather food, look in the ditch, there are people following the revolution every day now, you can't delay, delay, it will be beneficial, and it will not be your turn." Revolution?After much deliberation, I still can't figure out how to collect food. What conflict does this revolution have with planting medicine? Does it mean that he doesn't need to plant medicine every day if he becomes a revolutionist? Snow, the vast snow. In the deep winter of the 34th year of the Republic of China, Qinghai Majiabing announced to officially take over Liangzhou.This is a major decision, and it marks that the Kuomintang's rearming in the northwest has been fully launched.The day after Commissioner Zeng Zihang accepted the new appointment and left Liangzhou with his family, Situ Xueer, who was alone, welcomed a mysterious guest. Qiu Jiayuan came here with two missions on his shoulders. It was obvious that it was a prelude to the Ma Jiabing's stationing in Liangzhou.In the dark, he will ignite another fire in Liangzhou. In the Xuecheng Academy next to the Confucian Temple in the east gate of Liangzhou City, two people who had not seen each other for a long time met.For this meeting, Situ Xueer really put a lot of thought into it. Just in the choice of location, she changed four or five places.In the end, Xuecheng Academy was chosen. Firstly, it wanted to remind the two of them of their study time. On the other hand, this Xuecheng Academy was built by Wu Huanzi, a great poet of Liangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, for his love of the world, Zhong Xiaer. In his later years, Wu Huanzi followed suit. Zhong Xiaer, who was lonely all his life in Huajuedai, stayed with each other, recited poems and compose Fu, accompanied by Sheng and wine every night, and wrote a song of late love in the world that moved heaven and earth. The atmosphere in the room was a little tense. Although Situ Xueer had prepared the groundwork for this long-lost reunion deep in her heart, she was still a little overwhelmed when she really faced the weather-beaten Qiu Jiayuan.The face in front of her is no longer the radiant and vigorous face of the past, and her eyes are no longer the fanciful, conceited and unrestrained one that makes any woman willing to indulge in it all her life and refuse to wake up. empty gaze.Time has carved scars on his face, and it has also made his gaze calm and firm but no longer has a trace of romanticism.Staring at this face, Situ Xue'er felt a lot of emotion. Why isn't she herself weather-beaten?Could it be that what was presented to him today was still the face of the closed moon, shameful and charming? "Yuan, you're old." Situ Xueer spoke first with complicated emotions. Chou Jiayuan smiled sadly, but said in an understatement tone: "In this day and age, who still has the time to care about their own age." "In a flash, more than ten years have passed." Situ Xueer said with deep sadness. "Life, we have to move forward." Qiu Jiayuan replied more and more casually. After saying a few words in succession, Situ Xueer's heart slowly darkened.Is he avoiding it on purpose, or has time made him so inexperienced?No matter what, such an opening remark hurt Miss Situ Xueer very much. She even felt that her scheming was a bit in vain, and her anxious waiting and longing cooled down.Could it be that he didn't feel at all that this scene and the atmosphere were deliberately created by a woman for her sweetheart? "Far away, all these years, how have you been... how?" "Director Situ, I don't think I will mention the past. This trip, the task is urgent, and you and I have to work together to tide over the difficulties." Qiu Jiayuan drank his saliva, his gaze lightly sweeping away from Situ Xueer's face However, I looked out the window. Liangzhou in the deep winter is bleak, the snow has knocked down all the scenery, presenting indifference and coldness.In Qiu Jiayuan's heart, he was anxious to finish what he had to say, and he was still thinking about Qingshiling. Situ Xueer withdrew her gaze in despair, unexpectedly, it was such a heartless person that she was looking forward to so much.She stroked her hair: "Adjutant Qiu, it seems that you are really loyal to the cause of the party and the country. I, Situ Xueer, feel ashamed." After finishing speaking, she left Qiu Jiayuan and left Xuecheng Academy.As soon as she returned to her residence, Situ Xueer immediately ordered her subordinates to closely monitor Qiu Jiayuan's every move. At the same time, she stepped up the search for Huang Yang and Ga Da. She wanted to see who could stand up to whom? When the night was engulfing the earth, Qiu Jiayuan was still standing in front of the window, with ups and downs in his heart, no matter how restrained he was, Situ Xueer's face was still jumping back and forth in front of his eyes... Qiu Jiayuan and Situ Xueer met each other in Xi'an. The first meeting was at the residence of a certain important official in Xi'an. Pair of cousins ​​too.At that time, the impression Situ Xueer left on Qiu Jiayuan was so good that he would think of that face without makeup for many days to come when he was young.Later, the Army Chief sent him to study at the Xi'an Army Military Academy, and accidentally ran into Situ Xueer at a teacher's house. The two had a longer conversation that time, and they left their contact information when they broke up.Maybe it was God's destiny. In the following year, the two fell in love quickly, and even reached the point where they could not be separated.At this time, Qiu Jiayuan was ordered to go to Nanjing, where he met Li Kenong, the most important and most admirable teacher in his life.Since then, Qiu Jiayuan's life began to develop in another direction, and got farther and farther away from the original track.Just when he finally decided to join the communist organization, he accidentally heard that his lover Situ Xueer had been secretly sent to a place by his cousin Cha Jianshe for closed training.During those days, Qiu Jiayuan was in pain, and he could hardly make a choice between ideals and love.One day the chief of the army suddenly asked, "Did you miss her?" Qiu Jiayuan nodded subconsciously, and the chief of the army said, "I have to tell you something. When she decided to accept training, she also decided to give up love at the same time." "why?" "Because that organization is not allowed to enter with love." "What organization?" Qiu Jiayuan asked nervously. It turned out that he didn't know what kind of training Situ Xueer was receiving. The chief of the army was silent for a long time, and said solemnly: "Military commander." The love seemed to stop in that afternoon. No, it should be said that they met again later, but what appeared in front of Qiu Jiayuan was no longer the woman with personality who was hiding her softness and bones in her smile, but a cold The female devil head with a murderous look on her face and even the tips of her hair.The meeting between the two was still at the gate of the important official's house, which was the important official's house where the two met for the first time.Qiu Jiayuan was ordered to carry out a protection mission. As soon as he saw Situ Xueer, he knew that it was too late for him to receive the news. Sure enough, when he rushed into the courtyard, the family of important officials had already fallen into a pool of blood... The past is like a dream, and the past is unbearable to look back on.Over the years, the last thing Qiu Jiayuan wanted to recall was that moment.Like two meteors passing by in a hurry, there is no track to come together.The love came to an end forever at that moment. As for how Situ Xueer went to the United States and how he struggled to come back, he didn't know, and it was impossible to know.It wasn't until he was sent to Liangzhou to secretly carry out underground activities in Qingshiling that he learned from the county magistrate Kong Jiexi that Situ Xueer might be coming to Liangzhou. "What is she doing in Liangzhou?" Qiu Jiayuan yelled immediately. "I'm also puzzled. It is said that she has a good place to go when she returns to Xi'an this time. Someone in Nanjing called her by name, but..." "What else have you heard?" "I heard that she came this time to get you to America." "absurd!" ... The night was icy cold, and Qiu Jiayuan's shoulders ached faintly, which was a result of long-term day and night travel. Every winter, his body would compete with him everywhere.Qiu Jiayuan moved his feet, only to realize that after standing for a long time, his feet were almost numb.This time the army chief took a great risk to send him to Liangzhou again. First, he was familiar with the underground revolutionary struggle in Liangzhou, and it was him who turned the underground struggle into an open revolutionary movement.On the other hand, the chief of the army also has deeper intentions. He must find a way to do the work of Situ Xueer. If she can turn to support the revolution, it will also be a fatal blow to Ma Buqing. "You must put aside personal grievances and use the most effective way to let this female high school who has received various trainings join our camp." The Chief of the Army used the word us for the first time, and he said it with such sincerity.Not long ago, the Chief of the Army officially joined the Communist Organization, and soon held an important position in the Northwest Bureau. This revolutionary fighter who has supported the cause of communism with practical actions for a long time, also in the bloody lessons, finally gave up his neutral position and committed himself without hesitation. Stand with the communist organization and fight bloody for the liberation of the nation. The next day, Zha Jianshe, director of the Liangzhou Education Bureau, hosted a banquet to welcome Qiu's family.Cousin Situ Xueer is naturally indispensable to accompany her.During the dinner, Zha Jianshe said meaningfully: "Adjutant Qiu is not here just to change defenses, is he?" Meet friends." "It's rare, Adjutant Qiu has been away from Liangzhou for so long, and now he is a celebrity in Xi'an, and he can still think of friends in Liangzhou City who are not loved by parents or mothers. It is really rare." Cha Jianshe posted Looking at her cousin's face with emotion, Situ Xue'er sat there indifferently, indifferently, but revealed a stubbornness that did not achieve her goal.Of course, Zha Jianshe understood his cousin, and this banquet seemed to be specially set for his cousin.He originally thought that after these years of ups and downs in life, bloody wind and rain, the complex in his cousin's heart should have disappeared long ago, clinker, last night when his cousin knocked on his door in the middle of the night, crying bitterly, it would have accumulated in his heart for a long time The pain and regret of more than ten years came out.As a cousin, how can Zha Jianshe stand idly by? After chatting a few words, Zha Jianshe suddenly turned to Qiu Jiayuan: "I have someone here, I wonder if Adjutant Geng wants to see him?" As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, two soldiers brought one in.When Qiu Jia looked at it from a distance, his expression paled immediately. It turned out that it was the second son of the He family, He Shuyang, who was brought to him by the commander of the army, who failed to get away from Situ Xueer despite all his connections! The icy and snowy Qingshiling has a different scene at this moment.Adjutant Qiu Jiayuan came this time and secretly brought someone with him.Pharmacist Liu Xicai returned to the ridge, the first thing he saw was not his adopted son picking up food, as soon as he entered the compound, he was hugged by Second Master Shui who was waiting in Mo Hei. "I said you are an old ghost, and I thought you had forgotten me in this poor corner of the mountain." Liu Xicai also gave Second Master Shui an affectionate hug, and the two of them, under the guidance of Gu Jiuer, approached Second Master Shui. Go to the upper house. After a night of noise, Second Master Shui realized that the mysterious carriage was sent by the Army Commander of Xi'an City.After Qingshiling was firmly controlled by Situ Xueer and Feng Chuanwu, the medicines from Line 2 could not be transported over a long period of time. In addition, the surname Rong added several sub-posts by the Yellow River, sent heavy troops to guard them, and transported them to Yan'an in the west It is even more difficult to obtain supplies and medicines.Just at this moment, a friend of the Army Chief in Baoji approached him and proposed to plant medicine in the Qinling Mountains.Eight hundred miles away, Qin Chuan, if he can really grow the medicine, all the problems will be solved.The chief of the army used his connections to get the pharmacists he could find into Qinling one by one.At present, the traditional Chinese medicine in Qinling Mountains has grown, but the water and soil there are not as good as Qingshiling Mountains, and the medicines grown there are also dry seedlings. "After planting and planting, you are still a golden nest in this corner." Liu Xicai sighed. "Then come back. After you leave, I really feel lonely in my heart. Besides, a good horse needs a good saddle. This good mountain will be ruined without you." "How can you say that, you can't trust Shiliang?" "I've believed it, I've believed it, but how can I grow it with my baby alone?" The heat of Fu tea permeates the room all the time, and the fire is so hot that it can reflect the faces of celebrities.The two of them gathered around the stove, chatting happily for a while.It can be seen that the years have buried a lot of things in their hearts.After talking about it, pharmacist Liu Xicai suddenly asked: "By the way, can I hug my grandson this time?" In a word, the question made Second Master Shui dumb. Pharmacist Liu Xicai came to the grain gathering room at noon the next day. Before that, he had a long conversation with Shui Yingying for more than two hours.Pharmacist Liu Xicai looked at Shui Yingying with a fatherly look, and asked, "Are you not related to him at all?" Shui Yingying couldn't answer the one-sentence question for a long time.Pharmacist Liu Xicai asked again, and there were tears in Shui Yingying's eyes.At this moment, this woman with a heart as high as the sky finally admitted that she loves Shiliang, and loves it from the bottom of her heart.Without this love, she and Shiliang would not be able to make it to today, and without this love, she herself would not be able to live today.Think about how many ups and downs she has experienced since the day Feng Chuanwu took over the Shui family compound. If it wasn't for Shiliang who straightened her back to support her, would she have survived? "Uncle, don't ask any more questions, don't ask anything, just go and tell him, I will be his woman for the rest of my life." Shui Yingying finally stopped thinking of herself as the third lady of the Shui family, she wanted to recruit a son-in-law to collect food woman! Pharmacist Liu Xicai told Shiliang this.Shiliang blushed for a long time at first, and then sighed: "Uncle, after all these years, it's hard for her. Sometimes I think about it, I really don't deserve her." "Boy, it's not a matter of being worthy or not. You and her are just and proper husband and wife. A husband and wife must act like a husband and wife. There are some things that are difficult to say, but uncle has to say. You two, you have to live a lively life." Well, just having medicine can't make life, you have to have... a baby!" The pharmacist Liu Xicai gritted his teeth and said the most difficult thing to say. Picking up the food blushed to the back of his neck, and his heart also turned red. That night, the lights in the Shui Family Courtyard were turned off early, not only the South Courtyard was dark early, but also Second Master Shui's Upper Courtyard, and the backyard where the dog and the others lived were also dark early.Picking up grain first entered his own room. He stood on the ground for a long time, his legs were tired and his heart was tired. He went to the kang without taking off his clothes, and lay down on the kang.Lying down, the figure of his daughter-in-law Shui Yingying flashed in front of her eyes.From the day he entered the Shui family compound, the frightening scene on the big grass beach, flashed back, flashed to the younger sister picking up grass to get married, flashed to the door inserted by himself, the red and red shadow on the wedding night, and... Shiliang finally couldn't lie down anymore, it's strange to lie down!He got up, put on his shoes, walked out, first wandered around in the courtyard for a while, and then stopped under the window.The moon was rising outside, the light was soft, and the soft light shone on his body and on his heart, making his heart itch, as if there were thousands of ants crawling. Afterwards, these ants all became It became a face, which was the shy face of a daughter-in-law. "I have a daughter-in-law!" Shiliang yelled, and boldly pushed the door open. The door was ajar. In fact, since the house was renovated, the door had been ajar and never locked. True.Unfortunately, this door locked a person, the person who should not be locked, but let it be locked. With a creak, there was a rustle on the kang.Shui Yingying didn't sleep at all, how could she fall asleep, she was waiting, anxiously waiting, waiting with resentment and hatred in her heart.This hatred, half of the lost years, what a good time, but it is delayed by a heart that is not enlightened.Half, the person who came in because he pushed the door, why is he so stupid, I can't open my mouth, can't you, too?I am angry, are you also angry? The person came in, but his heart fluttered so much that he had nowhere to put it, and his legs trembled even more so that he couldn't stand up.Almost, picking up food was about to escape.At this moment, a soft voice came from the kang: "You are dead, you still know how to come." With just such a sound, all the fear and anxiety of picking up food were driven away. Then, as if he had been summoned, he jumped onto the kang and into the bed with an unstoppable momentum... The water-red quilt was covered on the wedding night. After covering it once, it was put into the box again, and it has been pressed until now.If he doesn't come again tonight, I'm afraid this bed will be locked in the box for another few years. Trembling, trembling, two pairs of young hands finally touched each other, and then separated again.Then they met again and separated again.Just like this, repeated many times, finally, one hand held the other hand, held it for a long time, and then slowly, pulled it, and stretched it towards a certain place. stretch out... The Sisters River flowed extraordinarily joyously and powerfully this night.On the big grassy beach, the wind is loud for a while, and it is as quiet as a virgin for a while. The mountains in the distance and the nearby mountains all seemed to be excited after a long period of depression during this night. The courtyard, the courtyard, has long been a different scene. Second Master Shui is not asleep, with his ears pricked up, listening.Pharmacist Liu Xicai didn't sleep, his ears were pricked up, listening.The person who cut the hole didn't even sleep! Mrs. Wu didn't sleep, and the dog didn't even sleep! The two people on the kang said they were sleeping, but they were actually sleeping.They tossed and turned the sky, turned the earth, and turned the water of the Sister River. This night, even though it was so many years late, it finally came, moreover, with a bang! Pharmacist Liu Xicai never expected that this trip would accomplish such a big thing.The next day, looking at the smiling faces of people in the yard, Liu Xicai was so happy that he didn't know what to say.It was still Erye Shui who was thoughtful for him: "Don't say anything, kill the sheep, kill the sheep!" Pharmacist Liu Xicai's visit this time is not just to reminisce about the past, he has an important mission.Although there are also medicines grown in Qinling Mountains, compared with Qingshiling Mountains, they are too poor to mention.Furthermore, the war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party has completely started, and the war is likely to drag on for three to five years. This medicine is probably more expensive than gold.The chief of the army asked him again and again that he must do the work of picking up grain and Shui Erye face to face. "Uncle, don't you?" Shiliang was a little uncertain, why hadn't seen him for a few years, what Uncle Xicai said had changed.Pharmacist Liu Xicai shook his head, he knew what Shiliang wanted to ask. "Boy, don't guess too much. Uncle is getting old, and he is becoming less and less interested in current affairs. Uncle still said that the common people are a flock of sheep, and whoever has the ability will catch up. However, the Chief of the Army is different. , Uncle respects him. Uncle has to mention what he confessed. You can make up your own mind. Uncle will not force you." 两个人踩在厚厚的积雪上，咯吱咯吱往前走，青石岭把一眼的白雪铺过来，就像为叔侄二人铺出一条通往天堂的路。踩在这样的雪上，人的心会慢慢纯洁，再也藏不得啥污啥垢。走不多远，药师刘喜财停下，掉头往回看。两行歪歪扭扭的脚印深处，立着一个人，是被白雪耀得模糊的顾九儿。顾九儿就像一个忠实的保镖，一刻也不敢离开刘喜财。刘喜财笑笑，因为他看见，就在离顾九儿不远处，还藏着一个影子，那是张营长。 “张营长这个人，对你咋样？”他突然问拾粮。 “好着哩，这人比冯传五要好，好多了。”拾粮不明白叔为啥突然问这个，一时有些结舌。 药师刘喜财道：“说来你兴许不信，张营长也是陆军长的人哩。” "What?!" “看你，惊个啥。眼下世道乱，这种事儿，多。按他们的话说，这叫敌中有我，我中有敌。拾粮啊，往后，你可得活泛点，甭老拿死眼光看世道。叔是老了，活泛不起来了，你的路还长，千万要记住，遇上事儿，多用个脑子。” 拾粮还怔在那，脑子里一时半会转不过弯来。当初张营长带着兵来，他还偷偷骂：“摔死一个冯传五，原指望能太平，哪知又来一个姓张的。”这么骂着不过瘾，又咒：“我看迟早也得摔死！”刘喜财踅转身，暗含着担忧的目光凝他身上，半天，见拾粮还迷怔着，轻叹一声道：“你听过一个叫大嗓门的女人么？” 拾粮忙说听过：“她不就是黑三的女人嘛？” “你知道黑三是谁，说出来怕吓坏你。”药师刘喜财索性不再隐瞒，拾粮这样儿，真是让他不放心，他决计将知道的一切都讲出来。 黑三是凉州城的地下书记，按官职论，跟凉州府的曾子航一般大。 “啥？！”拾粮果然惊得，眼珠子都快要出来了。 “看，我说你不要惊么，这么惊下去，迟早要惊出事。”埋怨完拾粮，又道：“这个张营长，正是大嗓门的娘家兄弟。这事儿，怕是借你十个脑子，也想不明白。”药师刘喜财绝无半点取笑拾粮的意思，他是真心里不赞成拾粮参加啥党派，但他也怕，这个药呆子，夹在两派中间，会不会把命夹没了？“娃啊，我走后，你一定得多长个心眼，实在犯惑时，就问问吴嫂。她虽是个女人，看事儿，不在你我之下。” “叔，你能不走么？”拾粮真是越听越怕，越怕越不敢往下想。 “不走？你说不说就不走？你我虽是药师，可国难当头，该出的力还得出。药师不但要救人，还要救国，这个理，叔也是才明白。” 救国？拾粮的脚步，再一次困在了雪地里。我拾粮也能救国？ 夜色又一次笼罩住大地时，副官仇家远跟司徒雪儿又坐在了一起。 司徒雪儿今天打扮得格外漂亮，甚至有几份妖冶，一头刚刚洗过的长发飘在肩上，那身从美国带来的一直没机会穿的制服衬托得她身材颀长，曲线玲珑，尤其是畅开的制服里露出的白色羊毛衫更是将她丰满的双胸以逼人的方式凸现出来。仇家远只望了一眼，就气短得呼不上气。他努力着将目光避开，可屋子里到处充斥着女人的迷香，仇家远知道，今夜这场谈话，弄不好会是一个陷阱。 “怎么，你不舒服？”司徒雪儿盈笑着问。 “舒服，我一个大男人，哪有那么娇气？”仇家远故意大着嗓子，将话说得底气足点。司徒雪儿轻轻捧过茶杯，这茶，是她特意从凉州城字号最老的茗丰茶庄拿来的。一闻这香气，就是从来不问茶道的仇家远，也禁不住生出嗜茶的冲动。世间万物，惟茶和女人能怡人心扉，香茗伴着佳人，这样的夜晚，仇家远都有点诗意盎然了。经过几天的接触，仇家远似乎对司徒雪儿稍稍少了点戒意，特别是司徒雪儿尽心尽力配合他办事，让原本繁琐甚至有可能引发冲突的种种事儿办得异常利落，这就给他留出更充足的时间办自己暗中要办的事。 “远，我想再问你一次，你真的不能留下来陪我？”茶的幽香中，佳人司徒雪儿已有点双眸流盼了，说话的语气，更像是带了某种催眠的功能。 仇家远不想回答，同样的问题，这几天他已答了不下十遍。司徒雪儿如此不屈不挠，证明她所有的表现都为了一个简单的目的。可这个目的对仇家远来说，却是异常艰难。 “我们换个别的话题好么？”仇家远小心翼翼，生怕一不小心再次落入司徒雪儿的圈套。 那天的何树杨，就是司徒雪儿给他设的第一个圈套。其实，这个圈套，打何树杨叛变革命那天便有了。司徒雪儿为啥把何树杨死抓手里不放，正是何树杨嘴里有仇家远的秘密啊。捏住何树杨的喉咙系，等于捏住了他仇家远的命。这点，仇家远和陆军长十分清楚，也分外担心。好在，这么长时间过去了，关于仇家远往二号线运药的事，司徒雪儿只字未向西安方面透露。不透露不等于司徒雪儿不收拾他，司徒雪儿是在用另一种方式逼他就范。她把话说得很清楚：“要么，你就留在凉州，要么，我俩远走高飞，离开这令人失望的国度，去美国。” “远，到了美国，我们才是自由的，才能完整地属于对方。” 仇家远岂能答应？他迷恋过的司徒雪儿，早已停在过去某个日子，跟眼前这个温柔起来像一汪水暴戾起来却像沙漠烈火般的女人已没任何关系。司徒雪儿并不急，留给仇家远充足的时间去想，去做决定。这充足，对仇家远来说，就是一种折磨，一种囚徒困境般的挣扎，司徒雪儿要是哪天不耐烦，或是忽然间绝望了，她准备的那把刀随时都会架仇家远脖子上。 女人的行为方式往往跟男人有天壤之别，这世界要是操纵在女人手里，是很可怕的。司徒雪儿手里捏着何树杨，并不急于向西安建功，对付凉州地下党的态度，也近似于游戏。某一天不开心了，逼着何树杨吐出几个，然后抓来痛痛快快发泄一通。对侍何树杨，更是残酷得令人发指。仿佛，她手里捏着的不是一张牌，而是一只供她发泄供她愚弄的猴子。仇家远那天只扫了一眼，便断定，何树杨这几年过的日子，怕是连囚犯也不如。早知道命运会这样变着味儿戏弄他，何树杨怕是当初宁肯掉头也不会选择叛变。 这女人，变态得可怕呀！ 但，所有这一切，似乎都是因了他仇家远。司徒雪儿蛮有信心地说：“知道不，我从来就没担忧过，你会不来凉州看我。表哥还老是劝我，让我丢掉这个梦，我才不那么傻呢，远，我认定你会来的，这不，你果然来了。”那天饭桌上，司徒雪儿当着何树杨的面，就这么把话端到了桌面上，惹得一桌的人都拿怪怪的眼神瞅他。仇家远这才清楚，司徒雪儿是铁下心跟他玩到底了。 一个能把什么都当游戏玩的女人，她的思维世界是极其恐怖的。仇家远倒吸一口冷气。 司徒雪儿始终保持着矜持的姿势，坐在一边含情脉脉地凝住仇家远。这个冬日里白雪飘落的夜晚，司徒雪儿带着难得的幸福心情来跟心中的情人幽会，她理所当然地要把一切想得美好。他怎么会逃得过我的手心呢，再说有逃的必要么？司徒雪儿真是搞不懂男人，他们有的简直就是如饥似渴的狼，包括她在美国曾经有过的那个男人，也是一头疯狂的兽，眼里几乎见不得女人。而有的，却又冷得比这寒冬还令人窒息。司徒雪儿知道自己曾经对不住仇家远，让他伤心过，但远没到绝望的份上。她去美国，由得了她？她在美国睡到那男人的床上，由得了她？既然一切都是逼迫的，仇家远就不能计较，太小心眼了，这么长时间过去，他怎么还如此耿耿于怀！ 夜越来越浓，屋子里的炉火也越烧越旺。无论仇家远说什么，司徒雪儿全都选择沉默，一双眼，如同黑夜里发光的星星般凝他脸上、身上，怎么也拒绝不开。仇家远说了好多，索性不说了，走过来坐下，他知道，最终摊牌的时间到了。突然地，司徒雪儿从火炉边扑过来，不容分说，猛就抱住了仇家远。那一身滚滚的浪，江涛一般，覆盖了仇家远。仇家远再想躲，就被那积压的太久的浪给一波一波地袭击着，似乎找不到躲的方向。司徒雪儿昵喃着，梦呓着，两只手，用力地抓自己，像要把自己多年的痛苦与爱一起抓破，毫不遮掩地暴露给自己的梦中人。 更猛的浪袭来，这个飘落着白雪的夜晚，几乎成了一场美丽的灾难，仇家远眼看要窒息了，窒息在白雪中，窒息在辽阔而又深重的错爱中。 世界在瞬间凝固。 就连炉子上的火苗，也不跳了。司徒雪儿的呻吟响成一片，成了这个冬夜最动听的声音。 “远，娶我吧，我要你永远爱我，永远跟我厮守。我们再也不要为党派去争，不要为主义去争，我们……远……我的远啊……” 同一个晚上，白雪罩住的青石岭上，也上演着感人的一幕。 雪是午饭吃过时落开的，起初并不大，飘飘扬扬，像天女散花。水二爷喜欢在这样的雪里走出去，站在茫茫的雪岭上，站在被白雪掩埋住的草儿秀坟前，惟有如此，才觉不枉了这雪。尤其今冬，水二爷更是频频地往二道岘子去，去了就不想回来。想啊，越老越想。年轻时的事，一幕幕随着白雪落下，落得他两眼濛濛，恨不得倒在雪里，永久地搂住草儿秀。 水二爷边走边叹，叹的是时光苦短，转眼间自个就老了，还没活明白哩，就老了。老不可怕，怕的是回去跟草儿秀没法交待，三个丫头，一个也没拉明白，按他的话说，都没拉到正道上。可正道到底是个啥，水二爷有时也犯惑。老大前阵子托人说情，说是要来娘家住段日子，水二爷没答应，眼下这种时候，他不想跟东沟何家再搅出什么是非。老二呢，嘿嘿，一提老二，水二爷哭笑不得，她居然就能把仁义河玩转，听说比她公公还玩得好，啥时节她又会经商了呢？只是这一沾商啊，人就变得不是个人，爹也没了，妹也没了，有的，就是整天儿想法子赚银子。水二爷也喜欢银子，喜欢跟喜欢不同，他的银子是养心的，是当儿女一样放在那里给人提神的。不像仇家，银子到了商人手里，就成了催命鬼，催穷人的命，也催仇家自个的命。水二爷这辈子，最不愿看到的，就是自个的儿女沾商。老三呢，嘿嘿，一想老三英英，水二爷忽然笑了，笑得很畅快。 畅快归畅快，水二爷心里还是有事的，这事，一半因了年岁，人上了岁数，有些事，就不由得往脑子里涌，往心里涌，挡都挡不住。另一半，也是因了英英。英英跟拾粮这一好，水二爷的想法，就跟原先不一样了。原先他是怕拾粮走，现在呢，突然的，他又怕拾粮不走。奇怪，真奇怪啊，怎么就能冒出这么荒唐的想法呢？ 水二爷乱想着，就到了坟前，一抬头，雪中竟埋着个人。白头白身子，看来这坟地里的雪，都落到了他身上。细一看，那人跪着，就跪在雪地里，天呀，他跪在我家坟前做啥？水二爷正要叫，雪人动弹了，雪人也是听见了他的脚步，一动弹，水二爷就不只是惊了。 久长地跪在雪里的，竟是药师刘喜财。 “哟嘿嘿，你……你……咋是你么？” 刘喜财抖抖身上的雪，雪打他身上落下来，一瓣瓣的，就成了眼泪。 “我……我……忍不住啊。” 明了，就这一句，水二爷就明了。那个久长地搁在心里头的疑团，哗一下解开。天啊，水二爷一下慌得手足无措，平日里疑着，惑着，还多少能想出点对付的方法，猛一解开，这心，就乱成了一团。六神无主中，水二爷学刘喜财的样，蹲下去，蹲在雪地里。只不过，他对住的，是老婆草儿秀的坟，药师刘喜财对住的，是来路家拾草的坟。 无话。两个人像两条困顿的狗，蹲在时光的某个出口处，叫，叫不出来，嚎，嗓子又让茫茫的岁月堵着。 雪大起来，纷纷扬扬的雪，像是把多少年的恨和怨一古恼儿洒下来。雪封住了人的眼，封住了人的心，也封住了世上所有的苦难。 夜里，药师刘喜财走进来，水二爷还没睡，水二爷怎能睡着！炉火灭了，一向燃得很旺的炉火，偏在这一天灭了。屋冷得让人打战，水二爷却连件外衣也不披，就那么孤独地坐在炕沿上，如果刘喜财不进来，他可能就要坐死。 他真是情愿坐死哩。 “二爷，我来给你送件东西。”药师刘喜财站了好久，才说。 “我不是人啊，他刘叔。” “二爷，你甭说了，啥也甭说了。这东西，你收下，我带在身上，难受。”药师刘喜财缓缓的，打怀里掏出要送的东西。水二爷没看，不敢看，也不用看，但他清清楚楚，药师刘喜财要送还给他什么。 一双绣花鞋。 西沟来路家的拾草，竟是药师刘喜财的外甥女！ 药师刘喜财是十六上跟上队伍吃粮的，走时，妹妹喜鹊才十二。爹说：“去吧，娃，这祁连山，越来越养不住人了，跟上队伍，至少能活命。”药师刘喜财就去了。这一去，就是一大段空白的岁月。药师刘喜财因为一代名媛苏婉玲断送掉前程后，一路狂逃，跌跌撞撞总算回到了老家。可惜，荒草淫没了家园。爹不在了，娘哭瞎了眼，妹妹，也没了音讯。惟一能撑得起这个家的哥哥，竟染上了赌，一院子房输了，十几亩地输了，就连爹留下的药书，也输了一大半，要是刘喜财回来的再晚点，怕，把瞎了眼的老娘都能给输掉。等把日子弄囫囵，药师刘喜财开始找妹妹。这世上，他不能再失去亲人，人没了亲人，还活个啥，还有啥活头么？功夫不负有心人，两年后，终于打听到，妹妹还活着，让狠心的赌棍丈夫卖给了马帮，做马帮的活女人，也就是陪马帮的人睡觉，一路走，一路睡，谁想睡谁睡，直到睡死为止。 “狗娘养的！”刘喜财骂着，又开始找，终于，他打听到那个头人叫盖毛子的马队，盖毛子听完，哈哈大笑：“你是找喜鹊呀，那可是个棉花糖哩，可惜了，三年前她跟上尕耳朵跑了。” 棉花糖是祁连山一带的马队对女人的爱称，意思是这女人到了男人怀里，又棉又甜，真是舍不得丢开哩。 尕耳朵这名刘喜财听过，祁连山一带，不知道尕耳朵的，少。这娃十六上拿刀砍死继父，怕官衙追究，逃到荒漠里活命，听说渴急时拧断过狼脖子，自此身上便流着狼血，后来又从三个蒙古大汉手里抢了马，名声野得很。至于他何时带走自个妹妹，刘喜财却一点风声都没听到。又是半年后，刘喜财走进一个叫二十里铺的村子，尕耳朵的母亲还年轻，比刘喜财想像的要年轻得多。一提儿子，这个年轻的女人便天呀地呀叫起来，叫够了，一抹鼻子说：“死了，你要是早来两年，兴许还能帮我收个尸。” 两年前，二十里铺一带闹大旱，大片的庄稼枯死在地里，比大旱更可怕的，是秋后的瘟疫，还有兵荒。兵荒和瘟疫闹得这一带的人活不下去，只能往深山里逃。尕耳朵领着喜鹊，昼伏夜行。他们比不得一般人，尕耳朵身上背着债，马帮的债。他不但拐走了喜鹊，还把马帮几趟挣的银子全给揣走了，那可是马帮弟兄们一年的血汗钱啊。后来他们到了青风峡，原想这儿山大沟深，是个藏命的好地儿，结果，还没来及喝上一口青风峡的水，就被盖毛子雇的刀客追到，那时节他们已有了娃，一个不到两岁的女娃。一场混战中，一对夺命鸳鸯双双离开人世，尸首让滚滚的姊妹河卷走。还好，刀客没赶尽杀绝，把娃丢在了草丛里。 尕耳朵的娘连哭带说，把一场凄风血雨，泼在了药师刘喜财心里。末了，打箱子底摸出一双绣花鞋：“这是她亲手做的，我哪舍得穿，你拿着吧，这么远找来了，哪能让你空着手回去。好歹，也是个念想……” 一个活生生水灵灵的妹妹，最后回到哥哥怀里时，竟成了一双鞋。 这双鞋，自此便成了药师刘喜财比命还贵重的东西。 药师刘喜财说：“那娃左眼眶上有颗红痣。” “对，对着哩，是有颗红痣。”水二爷喊完，猛发现，药师刘喜财不见了。 “我不是人啊，我咋就能想出那么个馊主意。这阴婚，这阴婚……”水二爷叫着，提上绣花鞋，就撵。
