Chapter 6 Section VI

Another crescent moon like a hook and sickle.The field is misty, the gray dirt road is hidden in the knee-high wheat field.The peaks of the Qinling Mountains in the distance show the majestic outlines of black buildings.The emotional cries of the early cuckoos suddenly disappeared over the silent fields and villages.On the bank of the ditch on the Lingpo, there were occasionally two unpleasant cries of foxes. Qin Wa waved her hands and walked in the warm air of the spring night.He declined the sincere request from the owner of the adobe brick maker to keep him. After supper, he left his job and hurried home.There was something he couldn't say, because the road was far away, and he hadn't returned home for three or four days, and he wanted to see Yuxian.Twenty miles flat road, at the young man's feet, how difficult it is!There is a hot kang for the new wife in the house, and the owner's house has temporarily set up a bunk for him, which seems too deserted.He walked, counting confidently. Since the beginning of spring, nearly a hundred piles of adobe have been made, and there is a thick bundle of RMB in the small dressing box that his father handed over to Yu Xian.If this continues, as long as there are no sores or diseases in the family of three, Qinwa will be able to support three big tile houses in three years.At that time, the father should definitely put down the ram, and just take care of the light work at home and in the field, or take care of the children for them... The new society does not pay donations, does not pay the young men's money, and all the money earned, the grain is all returned For myself, as long as I am not afraid of suffering, the sun and the moon of the peasants will be prosperous!

Qinwa walked into the familiar village alley of Kangjia Village, the crescent moon sank behind the mountains, and the village was shrouded in the curtain of night.It alarmed someone's dog and barked a few times. He stood outside the small wooden fence of his house, a black iron lock was wet with dew, and the key was in his father's pocket.The old man probably just fell asleep, if he got up to open the door, he would catch a cold from the night air, it would be terrible.There is no need to alarm the old man... Qinwa leaped from the short dirt wall and jumped into her small courtyard.

He tapped lightly on the iron bolt on the door panel.When you call at the door in the middle of the night, don't knock hard, be careful not to frighten the woman, be careful! "Come here..." The woman Yuxian was rustling and putting on her clothes, and it took a long time before she opened the door. "Why don't you light the lamp?" Qin Wa walked into the room and said casually. "Save... kerosene..." Yu Xian said tremblingly. "Hi!" Qinwa laughed, "Heigulongdong, saving fuel!" Then he struck a match with a "snap". There was light in the room.Sitting on the edge of the kang, Qinwa let out a sigh of relief. He felt tired.

"Are you still eating?" Yuxian asked while sitting on the kang. "I've eaten." Qin Wa said, staring at Yu Xian's pale face, her eyes widened in shock, "Are you... sick?" "No..." Yuxian lowered her head, "I feel a little uncomfortable..." He stretched out his hand to touch her forehead and said, "It's not necessarily a fever..." "Not so..." He was a little relieved.When he took off his shoes and got on the kang, he lowered his head, and there was a pair of leather shoes on the ground.He grabbed it and asked, "Whose is this?"

Yuxian avoided his eyes, and before he could answer, the lid of the red lacquered cabinet where the clothes were stored was automatically lifted with a "wow", revealing a head with civilized hair. "what……" Qin Wa gasped, and immediately understood what had happened in this room.He rushed to the cabinet in one step, grabbed his thick hair, and pulled the winter school teacher out of the cabinet.Pa—a slap in the face, pa—another slap, the nosebleed immediately smeared that little white face into pig liver; dong—a punch in the chest, dong—a punch in the chest again, Teacher Dongxue softly Lying down on the ground, there was no sound of moaning; Qinwa raised her feet again.

The Dongxue teacher struggled to get up, and with a "plop", he fell to his knees at Qinwa's feet. Qinwa lost control, raised her foot, and kicked Mr. Yang who was kneeling down just now. He turned around and picked up an ax for chopping wood from behind the door, and said a few words between his teeth: "I will let you go today." blood!" Suddenly, Qinwa's waist and arms were tightly hugged from behind. When he turned around, it was his father. The old adobe living room heard unusual noises in the room, and ran in frightenedly. Without asking, the old man could tell what had happened. He hugged his son's arm holding the axe, without saying a word, ruthlessly Breaking apart Qinwa's fingers, she pulled out the axe and threw it into the corner of the yard with a bang.Panting with exhaustion, he dragged his mad son out of the house and pushed into the small stove house where he lived.

"You dog day killed someone, you must break the law!" "I'm at risk!" "You yelled so loudly that both sides of the neighbourhood knew that you have the face to live in the world, and I have no face to live!" The old man grabbed the open skirt of his son's chest, "You only wanted to vent your anger at the time, how will you end up in the future?" It was a strong and powerful warning.Qin Wa regained her sanity from the instinctive madness of revenge, stopped in a daze, and stopped jumping outside the door. "Clean up Dog Day and let him go!" said the old adobe builder, "Stop yelling with a high voice!"

"I can't get along with that bitch!" Qin Wa remembered the other one. "That's something to do later!" When the father and son walked into the house, Teacher Dongxue had disappeared, and so had Yuxian.The wooden gate facing the street was open, did the two elope?Qinwa let out an annoyed "Yes" and looked at her father resentfully.He didn't let out enough breath, and fell down on the edge of the kang all at once. The old man turned around and walked to the front yard. He saw a person hanging from the pagoda tree. With a cry of surprise, he picked up the limp body, broke the straw rope, carried him back to the building, and put him on the kang.Under the flickering kerosene lamp, Yuxian's face was purple-black from being strangled by straw ropes, with strings of white foam gushing from the corners of his mouth, and he was unconscious.

When Qinwa saw it, her face turned pale immediately, she sighed "Hey -", she fell into the room and passed out. "My God..." Kang Tiansheng looked at his daughter-in-law and son on the kang and on the ground, not knowing what to do, he threw himself on his son in despair, tears streaming down his face.
