Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Li Xin

In just one night, the snow covered the fields.Tasaka looks better than before.The previous bony, bare, exhausted, former withered, dilapidated, and decadent are all covered softly and white.The sky and the earth became purer, but also less angry.Li Xin, who was wearing a yellow military coat, squirmed in the boundless snow. Looking at it from a distance, it made people feel heartbroken. Li Xin has chased him for more than twenty miles.Yesterday, he finally found out where Sang Ye had come to work as a tailor in recent days, and he found out which house Sang Ye would stay overnight.After breakfast today, Huang Mao went to the commune to discuss the summary of the working group, and Li Xin also left the brigade afterward.He went out without attracting any special attention.Since the snow fell, the working group and the brigade were arranged to let the cadres go separately to check the situation of the cattle overwintering.The cows are going to freeze to death, will they give birth next spring, and will they live on?It's just that the time to go down did not insist on unity.The cadres of the brigade live scatteredly, and each has his own situation. As long as he has a good grasp of the situation, he can find out problems in time and help solve them.

The house where Sang Ye worked as a tailor (After the criticism meeting, Sang Ye could no longer open a tailor shop in the brigade, and could only do casual work. Fortunately, her craftsmanship has gained some fame in the local area, and people who asked her to come to work kept asking ), ten miles away from the brigade, which is not within the scope of Li Xin's inspection work.But he couldn't care less.There is no working group living there, so almost no one knows him.On a snowy day, a cadre came to find someone to do something, that's all. The door of that house was tightly closed, and they couldn't open it after filming for a long time.Li Xin stepped back down the steps and looked at the roof. The chimney on the roof was emitting faint blue smoke.It proves that the people in the house are burning a fire.A dog circled him, hopping in front of and behind him.The yelling and the threatening bared teeth chilled him, but he went back up the steps.The dog finally lost patience and cowardice (the dogs in the country are also a little afraid of cadres), pounced on him, and bit the hem of his coat.He closed his eyes and cried out.That voice sounded tragic in the lonely snowy countryside morning.This alarmed the owner of the house.I opened the door, drank the dog, asked why I came, but was disappointed.

Sang Ye was picked up by someone else just now.That family is not in this house, not far away. After leaving the house, after passing the hurdle in front, it is two brigades away, maybe two or three miles away.If you want to catch up, you can catch up with your footprints. Li Xin looked at the road that the man was pointing at, lying far behind the misty snow curtain.There is no one, and the footprints have long since disappeared.When villagers tell others about their itinerary, they always just say: "It's not far, let's say two or three miles!" Li Xin felt a sense of sadness in his heart.He hunched slightly, wishing he could run, but he couldn't.He kept stumbling and knocking, and his feet either kicked on the sharp stone points exposed on the ground, or got caught in the middle of the stones under the snow.He knew that several toes were hurt and bleeding, but he couldn't care less.He walked out of breath, but there was cold sweat running down his back.

"Mulberry leaf, mulberry leaf, this is all for you!" Li Xin yelled loudly without any scruples, blowing out big balls of white air from his mouth.In front of him are the beautiful face, beautiful shoulders, breasts, waist and legs of mulberry leaves.He believed that her flattery to Yin Daoyan was just submission to power.When interrogating her, she said that the first time she had sex with Yin Daoyan was the afternoon of the militia meeting.Yin Daoyan came to her room and asked her if she wanted to be a militiaman.She said she wanted to, but she was afraid she wouldn't be able to.Yin Daoyan said, if you deserve it, it depends on your performance.She asked how it behaved.Yin Daoyan said bluntly, if you give it to me, you will show it, and if you don’t give it to me, you will not show it. Then I will let the militiamen come and tie you up now, saying that you want to win over me.She smiled and said, then I'll give it to you, but, if I give it to you, don't you say that you are wooing and corrupting you, this is really wooing and corrupting you.Yin Daoyan said that whoever dared to speak would do it... Huang Mao slapped the table to stop Sang Ye's confession, saying that she was slandering.Li Xin knew that she was not slandering, every word was true.Those words will always be like some chirping knives cutting his nerves, and his body will suddenly heat up.For the heavy price that Sang Ye made him pay, he really wanted to rape her as soon as he arrived at his destination.

On the vast snow field not far ahead, I could finally see two black spots vaguely hidden in the snow mist. "damn it!" Li Xin suddenly felt wronged, it seemed that Sang Ye had fooled him.These days, he seems to be crazy, just for such a woman, a daughter of a lowly and unclean rural rich peasant named Sang Ye.He stopped, turned up the collar of his padded jacket, lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath.He twisted the cigarette hard again, and then strode forward with great strides. The real mulberry leaves stood in front of him again, no longer illusory.These days she tortured him like a goblin.She naked herself, seduced him, teased him.He pounced on her, and she floated away again, and then stood in a place where he could really see her clearly, panting, writhing, all kinds of coquettish, all kinds of amorous feelings.

Not far away, the outline of a snow-covered housing estate could already be seen.Piles of houses fell asleep in the snow.Clumps of trees propped up in the snow.There are dogs running around the entrance of the village.The man carrying the sewing machine for Sang Ye, who was obviously the owner, looked at Sang Ye hesitantly, wondering whether to stand and wait or walk away.Li Xin said impatiently: "You go first, I just made an appointment with her, and she came soon." , Just staring at you like a bull, standing and looking at you foolishly. "Hiding me?" Mulberry Ye's face was very red from the tightly wrapped turban, and snowflakes fell on the eye hairs, and they just stopped there.As soon as Li Xin stretched out his hand, he could pull her into his arms.He wanted to crush her, to pin her down on the snow.But the countryman kept looking back.

"Why do you hide from you?" Sang Ye blinked her eyes in fear, "I want to be a craft, I want to live. Is your working group still unwilling to let me go?" "That's not what I said." "Then what are you talking about?" "You really don't know?" "How do I know?" Li Xin raised her hand.The countryman coughed loudly not far away. "I would kill too." "It's scary, which one are you going to kill?" "kill you!" "Why did you kill me for no reason?" "You know." "Then... up to you.

"Don't go." "..." "Sang Ye, I mean it sincerely. Sang Ye..." Mulberry leaves have gone a long way.The wind and snow are getting bigger and bigger.The mulberry leaves quickly became blurred.Li Xin's body felt weak, and he suddenly lost his strength, wanting to curl up on the snow.He took out the cigarette, but his hands were shaking violently, and he couldn't light it no matter what.He lifted his head, letting the snow fall on his face.The melted snow trickled down his neck, calming him down a little.He thought: what is she!But thinking this way, he wants to possess her even more.Then he thought again: She can't get away.As for what kind of "unable to escape", he has no idea.

two When Xiao Min saw Li Xin, her face turned red and then turned pale, and tears welled up in her eyes.His lips moved violently, and he couldn't say a word for a long time. She is rubbing straw ropes with a group of female laborers in the warehouse, preparing for tying wheat and rapeseed next spring.Seeing Li Xin coming, the old cousins ​​winked at each other.The unmarried women secretly look at Li Xin, envious of Xiao Min. The women booed: "Get up, Xiao Min can't stand it anymore!" "Nonsense, can Comrade Li survive!" "The beam cannot be separated from the weight, and the husband cannot be separated from his wife!"

The two of them were embarrassed, but they couldn't move.Among them was a righteous voice who shouted: "Be more serious, grass dog! You are so flamboyant, the people in the city can't be flirtatious, they have thin skins." It was Xiao Min's landlord who shouted.Her husband is gone, one of her sons is a soldier, and her two daughters are married. The county work team has only one woman, Xiao Min, who happens to be her companion.After living there for a while, I regarded Xiao Min as my daughter: "Min'er, hurry up and pick Comrade Li to sit in the room."

Li Xin and Xiao Min escaped amidst laughter. Xiao Min lowered her head and walked quickly ahead, and refused to slow down when she reached a place where no one was seen.Li Xin called her repeatedly from behind, but she just ignored her. "What are you in a hurry for? I'm here." Li Xin smiled dryly. "Which one is in a hurry, the ghost is in a hurry." Having already entered the courtyard gate, Xiao Min suddenly stopped and did not enter the house. "what's wrong with you?" "Don't touch me, ignore you!" Xiao Min twisted her shoulder. Li Xin grabbed Xiao Min's shoulder even more tightly. "Come on, you really are." He tried to speak softly, but his voice was hollow, as if it came from another mouth. Xiao Min struggled again, did not break free, gritted her teeth, twisted hard on the back of Li Xin's hand that was holding onto her shoulder, and cursed: "Damn it!" The feet underneath moved. Li Xin hasn't seen Xiao Min for a few days.He is no longer staying in the eighth team, so there are naturally fewer opportunities to go there.Until yesterday, a guy from the County Art Troupe's work team came to this brigade to relax with acquaintances, and Xiao Min's shadow gradually became clear in front of Li Xin's eyes. It was the shadow of mulberry leaves that blocked Xiao Min's shadow earlier.From the first time he saw mulberry leaves, Li Xin always had a strange excitement in his heart.There are no greasy dishes, I no longer find it difficult to swallow (and I no longer have the idea of ​​stealing that vat of lard), and I can't sleep well (not to mention pretending to be sick during the day).It’s not always easy to stay in the house, so I run outside on the road when I have something to do, and I always walk with my head held high, wanting to sing, like a little rooster ready to pounce on a hen at any time.The brigade primary school is a stone's throw away from the brigade headquarters, facing each other across the road. If you want to sing on one side, you can hear clearly on the other side.Dadui Primary School is actually a row of flat houses facing the road.Between the road and the house is a small open space, which is the playground.Behind the house is a high ridge.When building the house, in order to have an open space in front of the house, the slope was cut and straightened, and the house was located in the middle of the steeply cut horseshoe, without any walls.What makes Li Xin most regretful is that there is no one to touch or rely on at least twenty or thirty steps away from the school. There are no houses or shops. "It would be nice to have a cigarette stand." Li Xin sighed in his heart.He couldn't bear it anymore, so he took a walk.Walking on the road in front of the school, every time I was about to get to the school, my heart felt tight for some reason, and after walking by, the back of my head became hot again and again, as if some hot eyes were really shot on it.In fact, walking over and over, the row of bungalows in the school is always as silent as the tomb on the back sill.The door of the room where Sang Ye worked as a tailor was open, but sometimes people might be seen for a moment, and sometimes no people could be seen at all.Sang Ye didn't stand leaning against the door affectionately like he often felt.Now mulberry leaves will never appear in that hut.The little door was closed and locked.The lock is small, but powerful.Just like the small hand of mulberry leaf, it locked her chest tightly, which seemed to be a kind of firm rejection. It is difficult for Li Xin to control himself.He has always been proud of himself in the county, and there are many girls who like him and even chase him clearly.He also wandered around among a group of mediocre girls in the county town with high regard, and would not refuse to flirt with them. Girls in small places have limited knowledge. .He also became a victorious general.Xiao Min came from a bet with others.Xiao Min was dancing the white-haired girl on stage, and the big, stupid guy who was dancing Dachun couldn't restrain his greedy look at Xiao Min in front of the audience.Li Xin, who was sitting in the front row watching the play, couldn't help but sneer.The few people who came next to him started booing and said, how do you know that people are wishful thinking?Li Xin said, if you don't believe me, you can bet, as long as I just write a letter, the white-haired girl will promise to cut the window grilles for me.I really made a bet.And Li Xin really won.Li Xin's letter was sent out for a week without a reply, and everyone forced Li Xin to admit defeat every day.Li Xin was confident and said that she would never leave for two weeks.On the tenth day, the reply came.Xiao Min is a junior high school student in the class of 1968. In fact, he did not attend junior high school classes. His handwriting is very bad, crooked, but the meaning is clear. He agreed to have an interview with Li Xin. The time and place will be determined by Li Xin.Apparently Xiao Min's late reply was not due to the girl's self-indulgence, but because she didn't know how to reply, and she was afraid that Li Xin would make a joke, so she simply gave a simple and clear answer.On the night when Li Xin received the letter, she kissed Xiao Min on the river beach by the county seat. "What else did you do?" Everyone blackmailed him the next day, and he said ambiguously: "Nothing." Everyone said contemptuously: "Xiao Min has a good face, but it's a pity that his body is thin." Li Xin immediately said : "You know what a fart!" Everyone laughed loudly: "I finally confessed." After laughing, the admiration and even jealousy for Li Xin are still sincere. Xiao Min likes to lose his temper, and often turns his face out of nowhere.When we first met, Li Xin got an unexpected harvest when meeting her for the first time.But the next day when Li Xin thought he could go straight ahead, she called him a "rascal" again.After scolding, he left, but instead of going back to the county theater troupe, he walked into the deserted woods on the slope outside the city.When he came, he was still stubborn and lost his temper.The evil fire in Li Xin's heart was tormented to the point of extinguishing, but she suddenly became passionate again, limp like a lazy cat, letting Li Xin manipulate her.After losing this temper a few times, Li Xin also lost the sense of mystery that she thought she was elusive, and knew that as long as she was more patient, she could get some proof that she was not worthless in his heart, and the clouds of the day would disappear. up. But today, he suddenly thought, why does he have to muster up such patience?He used to think that Xiao Min lost his temper in a different way, but now he suddenly found that it was artificial, awkward and even a little ugly. As soon as she entered the main room, Xiao Min turned around and put her head on Li Xin's chest, pounding on Li Xin's body with her two small fists.Every time, this is very easy to inspire Li Xin.Like every time, Li Xin hugged her horizontally, let her kick her legs while cursing "hooligans, hooligans", and then tightened her body, and then he felt an electric shock at the base of his neck. warm.But today there is no electric shock, only warmth.The warmth made Li Xin feel greedy and tired.He even clearly felt the dampness left by the warmth.The wetness made him feel unclean and smelly, and he wanted to rinse it off. Every time it was Xiaomin who asked Li Xin to undress her. "I don't serve people," she said every time. "I serve you." Li Xin said every time.But this time he didn't say anything, and his actions were rude. "If you don't come, you won't come, and when you come, you will be so naive." Xiaomin is very sweet. Li Xin is very focused.He suddenly noticed that Xiao Min's skin was a kind of sick yellow.It can't be compared with Sang Ye, he thought when he undressed himself. "what happened?" Xiao Min couldn't wait. "It's been a while." Li Xin muttered vaguely. "So, why didn't you come earlier?" "Isn't it here?" Li Xin closed her eyes tightly, hugged Xiao Min tightly, and tried her best to imagine Xiao Min under her body as a mulberry leaf. Xiao Min suddenly let out a cry, and then moaned happily. After each incident, Xiao Min never said "I don't serve people", and always caressed him softly but carefully. Li Xin lay on her back quietly.It was dark in the room.Dust floated in the faint beams of the setting sun that filtered through the windows covered with plastic paper bags.There was a strong musty smell from old furniture and damp earthen walls. Xiao Min whispered in her ear that the deputy head of the theater troupe (the one who played Dachun) always came to find him when he had nothing to do, sometimes he would sit until late, with no place to put his hands and feet, and his eyes were old. Her hair was straight and she was afraid of people, so she called the landlord loudly and asked about the embroidery on the shoe upper.She really made herself a pair of rustic embroidered cloth shoes. "Is it time to call it a day?" Li Xin blocked Xiao Min's hand. "Soon!" Xiao Min murmured, very nostalgic. "Then get up?" Li Xin asked, but sat up without waiting for Xiao Min's answer. Xiao Min still lingered, pressing her face between his thighs. Li Xin pulled out gently but firmly, turned over and jumped off the bed. "If someone takes off my clothes, no one will wear them." Xiao Min muttered behind him. Everything is an established procedure, but the mood is different.Li Xin thought. I heard the sound of chaimen outside the house. The landlord wants to keep Li Xin "overnight".In the words of the local people, "overnight" has two meanings, one is dinner and the other is overnight accommodation.The landlord's retention includes two meanings. "There are plenty of vacant houses, and there are ready-made beds and quilts. It's rare for you to come. If it weren't for Lu Jiao, or Min'er, I wouldn't have invited you." "Let him die and die far away, what's the big deal." Xiao Min looked very angry. The landlord was even more unwilling to let Li Xin go. During the meal, Xiao Min's face was radiant, like a pot of flowers that had been drought-stricken, it was filled with water all at once. Li Xin was silent, trying not to look at her, showing shyness. The landlord looked at this, then at that, and said: "That's great! A pair made in heaven, a pair made in earth." As soon as the landlord went to the kitchen, Xiao Min stood up and left a wet and greasy mark on Li Xin's face. "What a fool! Don't leave at night." "Going to go." "you dare!" Xiao Min acted warm and angry, she believed he would not leave. Li Xin remained silent. Xiao Min kicked him from below and grinned: "Will you go? Greedy cat. Hmph!" Xiao Min didn't notice Li Xin's thoughts at all.This made Li Xin feel a little cruel.But after the meal, a few people chatted for a while, and the landlord said wisely that he was tired and wanted to go to bed earlier.After she left, Xiao Min pouted at the room that the landlord had arranged for Li Xin and said, "You go there first, and touch it later." Li Xin said flatly, "I must leave tonight, the working group has something to do." Only then did Xiao Min see that Li Xin was determined to leave.After staying for a while, his face changed, but his mouth was stiff: "You go, you just go!" Li Xin got up and left. Xiao Min stomped her feet and began to cry. Without looking back, Li Xin walked out of the house and walked to the firewood gate in the courtyard. Xiao Min chased after the door and shouted in a very long and depressing way: "Come back, please..." Li Xin pulled Chaimen and walked into the darkness.Then there were dogs barking one after another in the house, drowning out Xiao Min's sobs. three Before the working group left, Sang Ye disappeared.No sign of suicide was found, nor was there any sign of leaving, but no one knew where she was. The disappearance of the mulberry leaves turned Li Xin's previous romance into decadence.This decadence actually brought him into trouble with Li Yue'e. Li Yue'e has the same name as the protagonist in the famous song "Li Yue'e, a model pig raiser", but she is not a model pig raiser. If she is asked to kill pigs, she may become a model. Li Yue'e is not from the county, but is said to be an educated youth returning home from a remote mountainous county, and later gave birth to a daughter with a married man.That person had some power in the county, and in order to cover up the matter, a person with the same power in Toben County arranged for her to work as a temporary worker in the town.She was alone in the town with a daughter, and she was setting up a net to catch a person to fill in the blanks, when Li Xin ran headfirst into it.His father works in the small town's food management department, and he often comes back to the town during his off days and holidays.Somehow, Li Yue'e got entangled and became pregnant.Li Yue'e was seven years older than him, and she was still dragging her oil bottle, so she shouldn't even think about marriage. Who knows that Li Yue'e has great ambitions.Since the secretary of the County Revolutionary Committee fell into her trap, she was determined to win.Called him several times, but to no avail, she openly stopped him on the street, and boldly announced the great love that had crystallized between them. "Great" and so on were originally Li Xin's language.Between the beds, when he was happy, he once joked to her: Jenny is exactly seven years older than Marx.Most of the culture he learned in the normal school was used in this. Li Xin was completely unprepared, and panicked like a thief who was captured in public.Li Yue'e held his arm very softly but very secretly, making him announce on the street that he wanted to marry her.He really hoped that the world would collapse at this moment, but he had to hesitate to get out.When he went back, he immediately canceled the promise just now—a promise that he had no intention of fulfilling. Li Yue'e is faithful.On the day that Li Xin promised in the street, she rented a rotten jeep in the unit, tied a big red flower with red silk and hung it on the front of the car, and took the dowry (that is, a few pieces of luggage) to Li Xin's home. Home. Although it's hard to say how happy this marriage is, Li Yue'e still managed all the etiquette and ceremonies equally thoughtfully.There are those who send off relatives, those who pick fish and meat wine jars, those who lift footbaths and toilets, those who play trumpets, and those who set off firecrackers.The most humorous one is crying marriage.Crying not only expresses farewell and difficulty in letting go, but more importantly, expresses the daughter's worth.The harder the natal family cried, the more face the daughter would have, just like leaving a mansion of a wealthy family.However, this has become a profession, and there are people who specialize in it.Two women, one as a mother and the other as a daughter, will sing a mother-daughter duet every once in a while.Naturally, it is a crying tone, but there are no tears, it is just an imitation of crying.The lyrics are even more inexplicable: Mother: The torch is shining brightly ahead, Behind the torches are shining, Carrying a stinky plague in the middle. Woman: The torches are shining brightly ahead, Behind the torches are shining, Carry a talented lady in the middle. Mother: Respect heaven and earth from the front, Burn the book behind. Female: Respect heaven and earth from the front, Behind the tree Huatang. Mother: In-laws who died in three dynasties, Full moon dead husband. Female: Sanchao's parents-in-law celebrate their birthdays, The champion of the full moon husband. When the sending team arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, the door was closed, so Li Yuee asked the driver to honk the horn to show that the cannon was fired, just like the Western bandits who followed the gunboat policy to attack the closed-door Qing Dynasty.With the echo of blowing and beating, the weeping ones cried more lively. Several people from the town came out to watch.What they were talking about was crying marriage, but in their hearts they gloated over Li Xin's misfortune. Li Yue'e did not achieve her goal and vowed not to withdraw troops. The family of the secretary of the County Revolutionary Committee had no choice but to compromise and surrender, and opened the door to steal. One can imagine the life of the family afterwards.Finally, it reached the point where she couldn't bear it anymore, and Li Xinniang asked for legal assistance to get rid of this fatal marriage. Li Yue'e is strong and unyielding.During the court investigation, she threatened to use rat poison to die with the county party secretary's family.They were so frightened that they didn't dare to eat anything edible at home except food and tea at work.She also threatened the court that she would fight desperately with the whole family of anyone who dared to handle the divorce case.She was summoned by the court, but she refused to appear in court, stayed behind closed doors for several days, and carried out a hunger strike in protest.Fearing that she had really committed suicide, the court sent someone to spy on her.The house where she lived had curtains on the windows, and only the door plug was neglected by her.The person who went to spy looked in with a bench and looked in. She was lying leisurely on the bed, and the box of melon rind and fruit shell cakes was abandoned on the floor.As soon as she spotted the face on the plug in the door, she jumped up and yelled, "Get the rogue!" For a time, no one in Juxian dared to approach.The family of Li Xin, secretary of the County Revolutionary Committee, had to flee with his family and choose another place to live, letting her occupy the magpie's nest.
