Tie Xiang didn't like to deal with the women in Maqiao very much, and had to squeeze into the men's group when she was going to work, and was crazy in the men's group.Benyi didn't have a good face about this, but there was nothing he could do.Going up the mountain and falling trees is originally a man's business, and she also wants to catch up with the fun.When he got to the ridge, he grabbed the ax with both hands like he was catching a chicken. He gritted his teeth and hacked for a long time without even making a tooth mark. Finally, the ax bounced somewhere, but he sat down on the ground laughing. Out of a white wave.

As soon as she fell down, the men's affairs became more complicated.She ordered this one to beat her ashes, asked that one to pick a thorn in her finger, ordered this one to find her missing axe, and instructed that one to help her carry the shoe that accidentally fell wet.Under her gaze, the men happily circled around her.She screamed ouch, twisted some moving lines of her body, and inadvertently revealed more ambiguous possibilities in the neckline or cuffs, causing some people's eyes to wander.The men worked even harder. She didn't fall too hard, but she tiptoed twice, insisting that the pain was unbearable, and asked Benyi to carry her home, completely ignoring that Benyi was dealing with two cadres from the forestry station on the mountain.

"God! Wouldn't it be enough to get someone to help you?" Benyi was a little impatient. "No, I want you to carry it!" She stamped her little foot. "You can go, you can go." "You have to carry on your back!" "You didn't bleed and you didn't lose your bones." "I have low back pain." Benyi had no choice but to give in to the young wife again, throwing her off the Forestry Station, and carrying her down the mountain in full view of everyone.He knew that if he didn't carry her away, she might announce that she had come to the moon water or something like that.She is an open-mouthed person, and she will disclose women's secrets at every turn, making her body known and cared for by all men, and becoming a common topic and spiritual property shared by all men.Her period was simply a grand festival and a great cause for the Maqiao collective.Of course she wouldn't say it outright.But she sometimes said that she had a back pain, sometimes emphasized that she had no cold water these days, sometimes asked some man to go to the hospital to buy angelica for her, and even yelled at Benyi in the field to go home and cook her angelica eggs. Of course, all of this was enough. Making people pay attention to what's going on with her body, emphasizing her gender, is enough to direct men's imaginations and grinning fawning over her.

She has a lot of interjections of surprise and joy.Obviously she was surprised by a caterpillar, but her ouch can be infinitely soft, forcing men to feel the other source and background of this voice, think about her posture in that source and background, and all kinds of other things.Of course she is not responsible for these cranky thoughts, only for the caterpillars.But she was a caterpillar who could beat other women's ginger-salt bean scrambles and other treats, snatch men from those treats, and obediently follow her to work hard, to do any physical work she asked men to do.Whenever at this time, she walks with her chest held high in the eyes of the other women in Maqiao, she feels an unconcealable joy of victory.

Later, I heard people from Maqiao whispering that the ouch of this foxy-eyed woman was really distasteful, and that at least there were stories about three men. First of all, the head of a cultural curator in the county, who once came to inspect the cultural work in the countryside, lived in her home, and brought another officer, who was handed over to the review.Since then, the curator has been particularly interested in Maqiao, and he often appears here with a fat and smiling face, in her kitchen, as if it has taken root there and grown there.It is said that he brought free books to support agriculture, as well as free fertilizer quotas and disaster relief funds.Calling the curator to do things is more convenient than sending the baby girl, including sending the curator to help her pick up the urine bucket and put the excrement in the vegetable garden awkwardly.

The later man was a young man with a small white face, said to be Tiexiang's nephew, who worked in a photo studio in Pingjiang County, and went to the countryside to serve the poor and lower-middle peasants.Tie Xiang took him around the nearby villages, and introduced to people how well he took pictures. People were itching to talk, and they all rushed to see the photo that the young man had in his hand. Of course, Tie Xiang has various poses. A dozen.This was the first time Maqiao people looked at Jianshou's camera, so of course they were curious.At the same time, I was also curious about an old watch that Xiao Housheng had worn on Tie Xiang's wrist for a month.Some people said that the woodcutters on the mountain saw that when the two of them went to the street together, they actually held hands on the mountain.Is this what my aunt and nephew did?What is it?

Finally, people also talked about Tie Xiang seducing Huang Bao, saying that Huang Bao carried the Yantou trough made by her family to the door with one shoulder, drank five pins of cold water in one breath, and the flesh bumps all over his body rolled up and down. Tie Xiang was so envious It's terrible, insisting that Xiang Bao cut her nails--her right hand is really bad.Afterwards, she secretly made a pair of shoes and sent them to Huang Bao.Helplessly, Huangbao was too precious, and didn't understand women's intentions, so he took the shoes and returned them to Benyi, saying that the shoes were a little small and pinched his feet, which seemed to be suitable for Benyi to wear. Turning sideways, he didn't say a word for a long time.

For the next few days, Tie Xiang was nowhere to be seen.When she appeared in front of everyone again, there was a cut on her neck.When asked, she said it was caught by a cat's paw. She didn't tell the truth, it was typed by the old man. Tie Xiang, who had a bloody gash on the base of her neck, stopped laughing among the men.It was quiet for a while.Later, she suddenly became intimate with the third ear. It's hard to say that San Er is a man, and in the eyes of any woman, it doesn't have the meaning of a man. Of course, it doesn't make Tie Xiang's intimacy any dangerous.The third ear is Zhaoqing's second cub, who picks up from snacks and spreads unfilial piety, was kicked out of the house by Zhaoqing with a hoe, once made friends with Ma Ming, Yin Daoshi, and Hu Er from the Immortal Mansion, and became a rotten stick. One of the Four King Kongs in Maqiao. The nickname "Three Ears" comes from an extra ear under his left armpit, a piece of fat that looks like an ear.Some people said that he was too naughty in his previous life, so I gave him ten more ears this time, and asked him to listen to the old man's words and the government's words more.He has rare goods to live in, and his precious third ear is not easy to show others.Anyone who thinks about it will have to hand over a cigarette.If you want to touch it, you have to double the price.He is also able to turn his left hand from below and grab his right ear over his back. If people want to see this kind of miracle, at least they have to buy him a bowl of wine at the supply and marketing agency.

Let Tie Xiang look at his three ears for free, and seeing Tie Xiang happy, he is also very happy.He's proud of his extra ears, and confident in his nose, eyes, and mouth.A few years ago, after looking in the mirror many times, he decided that he was not Zhaoqing's biological son, and insisted on asking his mother to tell where his real father was now.Because of this, he made his mother cry and cry, and also fought with his father, both father and son saw blood.This of course further confirmed his conclusion; how can there be such a poisonous father?He actually dug out the door with the head of the pot on his shoulders?If he wakes up after three ears, will he believe the words of this bastard?He went to find Benyi, offered cigarettes, cleared his throat, and had a serious face, which made people feel that he was about to discuss important matters such as the national economy and the people's livelihood with the secretary. "Brother Benyi, you know that the revolutionary situation in the whole country is very good now. Under the leadership of the Party Central Committee, all monsters and monsters have shown their true colors. What is fake is fake, and what is true is true. Ming, the eyes of the revolutionary masses are getting brighter and brighter. Last month, our commune also held a party congress, and the next step is how to implement the water conservancy issue..."

Benyi was a little impatient, "Don't let the conversation get lost, let it go if you have any farts." San stuttered in his ears, and got around to the matter of his biological father. "You don't even take a pee and take a picture yourself. You look like a lettuce, what kind of father do you want to be? There is a little dwarf who makes you his father, which is already flattering you." Benyi gritted his teeth. "Brother Benyi, don't say that. I don't want to trouble you today, I just want you to say a word." "Say what?" "How the hell was I born?"

"Ask your mother! How to ask me?" "As a party cadre, you must know the real situation." "What are you talking about? Your mother gave birth to you, a scum, how would I understand? I haven't even seen whether your mother's eyebrows are horizontal or straight." "I didn't mean that, I meant..." "I still have work to do." "Are you determined not to say it?" "What are you talking about? What do you want me to say? Huh? Toads also want to sit on the dragon bed, and this matter is easy to handle. Do you want a father who will be the head of the regiment, or a father who will be the head? Tell me, I will I'll take you to find it. How about it? San Er bit his lip and stopped talking.No matter how Benyi pointed his nose at him and scolded him, he kept a calm and arrogance on his face, and watched the secretary's performance with confidence.He waited politely, and when the secretary finished cursing, he turned his head sullenly and left. He walked to the entrance of the village and watched the two cubs play with ants calmly. After watching for a while, he returned to his residence.All his work still has to be done step by step, and he will not be flustered because of an original meaning. He also approached Rob, Fucha and Huangbao, and even the leaders of the commune.In the end, he went to the county to find out where Xi Daganzi was in labor reform, because he suspected that he was the seed of Xi Daganzi. He wanted to see Xi's appearance with his own eyes, and dragged Xi to have a blood test.If Xi is his biological father and refuses to recognize him, he will smash his head to death in front of Xi.He didn't want anything in his life, only one thing, which was to uncover the mystery of his birth, and to honor his real father, even if he only honored him for a day or even a moment, he would be satisfied. He went to the county twice, but couldn't find Xi.He is not discouraged.He knew it would not be easy, it might be his life's mission, and he was well prepared for it.He is not like the other King Kongs in the Immortal Mansion, who lie down and sleep all day, or travel around the mountains and rivers.He was very busy all day long, busy searching and investigating, and also busy with many endless things in the world.He is lazy on the inside and not lazy on the outside. Supply and marketing cooperatives, health centers, grain depots, forestry stations, schools, etc. are all places he frequents, and he seems to work there every day.He helped the doctor grind medicine, helped the butcher blow pig urine foam, helped the teacher carry water, and helped the kitchen in the grain depot make tofu.As long as it is a friend's urgent matter, he is willing to bother him.Yan Wu in the village was expelled from the school on Changle Street because his family was too wealthy.The middle school that wanted to enter Gongdu was also rejected.San Er'er was very upset about this, and angrily dragged him to the middle school, dedicated all the cigarettes he had accumulated to the principal, and asked the principal to give him a face and accept Yanwu. The headmaster said that it wasn't that he didn't want to accept them. The problem was that the students who were expelled from the county-owned middle schools and those who were a bit political were not easy to talk to. San Er remained silent, rolled up one sleeve, raised a sickle with the other hand, and scratched on the naked flesh, a line of blood immediately rolled and expanded. The principal was shocked. "Do you accept it?" "Aren't you a threat?" The third ear was stabbed horizontally, and another bloody mouth was split open. Both Yan Wu and the headmaster turned pale with shock, and rushed forward to snatch his knife.The three wrestled into a ball.Everyone's clothes were stained with blood, and the principal's mosquito net was also stained red.The third ear raised the sickle high, and said in a hoarse voice: "Principal Tang, tell me, do you want me to die here?" "It's easy to talk, and it's easy to say something." The principal begged in a crying voice, ran out to find the other two teachers, discussed it, and asked Yan Wu to go through the admission procedures immediately. San Er has dense knife marks on both arms, and has many friends.There is only one rule, that is, not to return to Maqiao for work.He would rather bleed outside than shed a drop of sweat in Maqiao.He put on an old military uniform he got from somewhere, and his face became more serious.He said that he was selling blood, and when he got enough money from the blood sale, he would go to the county town to buy some parts, belts and wires, gong cutters and wrenches, and he would build a digger. Open copper mines.His copper mine is for the benefit of Maqiao people, so he won't work in the future, he won't grow corn-packed cotton and sweet potatoes, and eating them every day is just for fun. People didn't expect that the three-eared and sharp-mouthed monkey would dare to sit on Benyi's head and poop, causing the big event that happened later.That day, Benyi returned to Maqiao from the construction site of the Bajingdong Reservoir, armed with a 38 caliber rifle that had been traveling every day, and swarmed the tied three ears into the sun Valley Ping, causing the village workers to fly like dogs.Ben Yi's eyes were red, and he said that the three-eared dog dared to rape the people in his secretary's room, maybe he was tired of work?He didn't take into account the party's captive policy, and he cut his dragon root with a knife.He wasn't even afraid of US imperialism on the Korean battlefield, so he was afraid of being a bad guy? When he said this, people were very surprised and noticed that the third ear and nose were bleeding, his clothes were torn, he only had a pair of shorts on his lower body, and his bare legs were bruised and purple.His head has been unable to support it, and it is softly slumped to one side, and he is also unable to speak, and there is a line of gray in the narrowed eyes. "Is he discouraged?" Someone outside looked scared. "It's good to die, and there will be one less evil in socialism!" Benyi said angrily. "How dare he have such evil intentions?" "He dared to dig with palladium to his own father, what else can't be done?" He called Zhongqi for help and hung him on the tree.Another ladleful of dung was scooped up and held on his head. "Do you admit it? Tell me, do you admit it?" The third ear glanced at Ben Yi, a blood bubble came out of his nostrils, and he remained silent. A ladleful of dung was poured down. People did not see the shadow of Tie Xiang.Some people said that she had already fainted from shock, while others said that she was crying in hiding in the house, and she kept saying that she would not spare the rapist, and that her thighs and waist were scratched, and she was very specific about each part.The men whispered on the grounds.Once again, he paid attention to her various positions.If it is said that she has not guided this kind of concern for a long time, then did the third ear act as a tool for her to guide again this time?Was she worried that people had forgotten about her thighs and waist? It was not until late at night that someone let the three ears down from the tree.Holding on to a wall or a tree, he limped and walked for two hours in a short section of the road. He was out of breath along the way, rested several times, and felt pain all over his body.He straddled his thighs with difficulty, the most serious injury was on his crotch, the dragon bag was torn, and a testicle almost fell out, the pain made him dizzy.But he didn't dare to go to the health center, afraid of being seen by his acquaintances there, and afraid of being made a fuss and making irresponsible remarks.He also didn't want to go home, although his mother would take him in, but at this time, Zhaoqing's face would definitely be even more ugly, why would he bother with it?He had no choice but to go back to the Immortal Mansion, and asked his roommate Ma Ming to help him find needles and threads, and with the oil lamp, he roughly sewed a few stitches on the dragon bag.At the end of sewing, there was a bloody patch under his crotch, his hands were shaking steadily, his body was soaked in sweat, and he passed out before the thread was pulled up.The village dogs barked all night. When Ma Ming woke up, there was no one in the third ear nest. Haven't seen him for months. One day after autumn, women turned vines in the sweet potato field.I don't know who screamed, what did everyone feel, looked back, and found a person standing on the road, with two big eyes staring at this side under the long hair like a horse's mane.Someone finally saw it, it was the angry third ear.I don't know where he came from, and I don't know how long he has been staring at it without saying a word. Ma Mane came over with a bag on his back and walked up to Tie Xiang. Tie Xiang retreated again and again. Plop——before people could see clearly, a hatchet was thrown at Tie Xiang's feet, and Ma Mane was already kneeling in front of Tie Xiang, with the root of his neck stretched out as far as he could, "Sister-in-law, you killed me!" Tie Xiang yelled at the other women, "Come here! Come here!" "Will you kill or not?" Tie Xiang turned her head pale and ran away. "Stop!" San Er yelled loudly, and Tie Xiang swayed from drinking, not daring to move again.He stood up and poked my face with a sneer, "Sister-in-law, if you don't kill me, how can you live in peace? You put a shit bowl on my head, you think I can bear this Tone?" Before Tie Xiang understood what was going on, he suddenly untied a thick rattan whip from his waist, and with a crisp sound, Tie Xiang staggered, and with another crisp sound, Tie Xiang had fallen down. on the ground.She screamed and raised her arms to parry, but when the people around saw San Er's twitching, no one dared to step forward to stop her, but hurried back to the village to report. "You stinky bitch, you stinky bitch, if you don't kill me, how can this matter be settled..." San Er scolded and whipped the whip, causing the woman to roll all over the ground. Seeing people, there is only dust and mold, a pile of green potato leaves rolling around, rustling; occasionally a few broken leaves fly up.Finally, when the cry became weaker and the leaves stopped shaking, Third Ear stopped and dropped the whip. He opened the cloth bag he brought with him, took out new leather shoes and new plastic sandals, and threw them into the pile of potato leaves that were no longer moving. "You take care, I, Ma Xingli, still feel sorry for you!" Then walk away. When he got to the intersection, he turned around and yelled at the women: "Tell that old bastard Benyi, I, Ma Xingli, will settle accounts with him!" For Maqiao people, the name Ma Xingli was already unfamiliar.
