Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven

(...The three of us are nothing special except that my uncle wears hemp shoes, and my rotten head and I both wear leather shoes.) I know that the people in the mountains are hospitable, but I never imagined that these bow-legged people would even invite us to our homes without asking what they were doing. I often heard that some fugitives had no money but hid in the mountains for a long time. Maybe that's how they hid.We followed the bowed legs to fill the water by the stream and headed towards Banpo. We climbed a curved beam, and there was a house in the recess behind the beam. The house had no courtyard wall, but the field in front of it was large. There is a stone mill on the west side of the haystack, and the stone-built semicircular terraces descend layer by layer along the concave trend, like huge fish scales.I was excited about the good feng shui, and looked at our shoes with my bowed legs, with doubts in my eyes.

"The one who invited us here is unwilling to let you go to your house?" "You haven't been to my house, have you?" "Ok?!" "It's good if you haven't been here before!" said bow-legged, "I worked all day and was exhausted at night. I got up to pee in the middle of the night. Under the kang, there were always my straw sandals, my wife's floral shoes, and a pair of yellow rubber shoes. Woke up at dawn, but only my pair of straw sandals and my wife's pair of flowered sandals, I just..." Uncle said, "I'm afraid you've lost your sight in the middle of the night."

"Look at flowers once, don't you look at flowers three times and four times?" The rottou and I laughed, and the rottou whispered: "That's my shoe!" I quickly covered his stinky mouth and said, "Look, none of us wear yellow rubber shoes." Band-legged Just laughed hehehe: "You are not yellow rubber shoes." He led us around the stacks of grain stalks built around three trees together, and I saw a woman with disheveled hair sitting on a wooden pier under the gable of the house. According to this, she untied her arms to catch lice.Hearing the sound of footsteps, he didn't raise his head, and said sharply: "Old man, old man, the urine in the urinal is about to grow maggots in the house, why don't you fall down?" The bow-legged said: "There is a visitor!" The woman Fang He looked up and saw us, and said, "Is there a visitor?" He pulled up his trouser legs to scratch it, his legs were black and thick, and something like bran flakes was flying in the sunlight.The bowlegged legs said: "Here's a visitor. Bring a plate of steamed buns and a bowl of sauerkraut. Don't we have lard, let's fry it!" The woman said: "Lard from Yueer? You still have the ability to get lard? !" The bow-legged hurriedly took down a small basket of castor beans from the eaves in front of the house, peeled a dozen or so, and went into the house to cook the pot.The woman just looked at the rotten head and smiled, let the rotten head sit on the threshold, and smoked the man's cigarette pouch hanging on the door bolt, but the rotten head refused to smoke, and the woman called again: "Old man, old man, our comb What about it?" The bow-legged man gave her the comb again, carried a bundle of firewood and went into the house, and the woman combed her messy hair and kept spitting on it.I whispered to the bad guy: She called her husband the old man, what is the old man?The rotten head said: "You don't know, semen, scolding, add an old word for an older man." I said: "Oh, he is not a man!" But the woman heard it and said: "He Not too old? He is fifteen years older than me, he is so tall at fifteen years old," gesticulating the shoulder of the rotten head with his hand, "I am only one year old!" The man had already brought out the steamed bun and said: "You, you..." the woman said, "What's the matter with me, aren't you old? King lives and dies, so where can I get to your kang?"

This is a Diao Pozi, so we won’t say much, and then the fried sauerkraut and a steamed whole chicken were brought out, but it was carved in wood, and there was a bang bang sound.The buns are steamed with black noodles, they are very big, with hand marks printed on them, and the rotten head said: "Blessed is the shopkeeper, the fingerprints are in the shape of a bucket." The woman quickly said: "That's my fingerprints, look, I Ten fingers are all bucket patterns, ten buckets!" He stretched out his hand to Rotten, and Rotten caught it, turning it over and over, pinching and rubbing.Uncle glared at him, he put down the woman's hand and said, "Good hand."

This is the first time I know what it means to be hungry and not choose what to eat. I ate one steamed bun, then the next steamed bun, and stretched out my hand to grab the third steamed bun. Suddenly, the woman stretched her hand into her bosom, touched it, and seemed to find something. Come on, put it in the palm of your hand and look at it, and immediately kicked her with bowed legs. She looked at me and smiled, dropped her hand, and said, "I thought it was a louse!" Stare, and said at the same time: "I thought it wasn't a louse!" I immediately became disgusted, put down my chopsticks, and my uncle said: "I'm going out, my mouth must be thick!" Then I asked the woman: "Only live on the slope. Your family, are there wolves here?"

The woman said: "There are lice in the human body, and wolves in the mountains. How can there be no wolves?" Band-legged hurriedly corrected: "There are no wolves, where have you seen wolves in these years?" The woman said: "Why are there no wolves, no wolves, did you eat the king raw?!" Band-legged said, "Well, there are wolves, there are wolves." The woman was so proud, she plopped down next to the rotten head, grabbed a steamed bun to eat, and said while eating, Liu Ma is a matchmaker, I will scold her, she coaxed me to say no Wolves don't have wolves, so I just married into Wang Sheng's family in Gou Nao.The people who made trouble in the bridal chamber forced me to kiss Wang Sheng. How can there be so many people kissing, but I won’t kiss!They took Wang Sheng out and tied him to the jujube tree in front of the door, letting the snow drench him, saying that I wouldn't kiss, and seeing Wang Sheng freeze to death, would my heart feel bad?I just said what a big man's family can be frozen into, but they didn't respond, but they refused to go out and untie Wang Sheng, they just annoyed me.Am I black?Black is black, but I am Black Peony, they all say so, and I also mean that they dragged Wang Sheng out to take advantage of me.Taking this opportunity, I touched this one in my waist, twisted that one on my hook, and still held it in my arms.They were all bachelors, I was so stupid, I thought that they had never seen a woman, so they just guessed it, and they made a fuss until the middle of the night, before I remembered that Wang Sheng was still outside the door, and when he went out to see, Wang Sheng called a wolf to eat.

"The wolf ate the groom?!" I yelled. "Why don't you just eat it," said the woman, "wolves are afraid of light and fire. The house was brightly lit that night, but the wolf dared to come and ate Wang Sheng. The wolf bit off his tongue first." He just dug his throat and ate his stomach, his large and small intestines flowed all over the floor, his feet were tied with hemp rope, and his feet were in good condition.” He came over to add sauerkraut to the sauerkraut bowl, deliberately stood in front of the woman, and said: “ I don’t want you to talk about Wang Sheng, but you still talk about it! He Wang Sheng was transformed from a pig, how can a man grow fat for nothing... He was originally a dish for wolves.”

"Curse Wang Sheng well!" the woman said, "If you don't die, I'll call my Wang Sheng every day, Wang Sheng oh Wang Sheng——!" The bow-legged smile at us in embarrassment. "When Wang Sheng was eaten by wolves, he must have yelled," the woman continued, "but the noise in the room was so loud that no one heard it. Wolves have eaten children before, but who would have thought of a big one?" Men are also called wolves to eat!" The bowed legs kicked the woman, and the woman kicked the man with her feet, sobbing. The bowed legs hugged her and wanted to drag her into the house. Rubbing down the steps of the house, the woman suddenly grabbed the rotten head's leg, and the bowed leg stopped pulling, and the rotten head said: "I will help you go back to the house and rest." The woman stood up and was led into the room by the rotten head.The bow-legged continued to greet my uncle and me to eat: "Eat, eat, there used to be wolves here, look, the white and gray circles painted on the wall, and traps were dug in front of the door, and I still have wolf traps. But now I haven’t seen the shadow of a wolf for several years. After decades of mixing with wolves, I got used to it, and suddenly there were no wolves. I was smoking in front of the door, and I kept thinking, why are there no wolves?”

The woman said in the room: "Of course you want to, the wolf gave you a wife!" At some point, Cuihua ran into the house, and suddenly it ran out, holding a woman's broken shoe in its mouth, and said: wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!Uncle shouted: "Rotten head! Rotten head!" Lantou came out of the house, holding six or seven buns in his arms, and said, "I'll get some dry food for us." After eating, it was dark, and a horse lamp was lit and placed on the cover of the cabinet in the courtyard, and the bow-legs wanted to stay us overnight.There is only one big earth kang in the courtyard. Where can I sleep after leaving it?But the woman said that ten or eight people could sleep in such a big kang, so she used the kang brush to brush the mats, spread the quilt, and took a shoulder pole with loopy legs and put it in the kang, saying that the couple of us will sleep here, the three of you sleep over there.Lantou said: "We have all studied, it doesn't matter if we are separated or not!" But the uncle insisted on leaving.

I said, "Can't we stay?" Uncle said: "It's impossible to live here!" He went out and left. Lantou had already put the luggage roll on the kang, but Fugui took out the luggage roll, and was so angry that Lantou kicked Fugui. "They are going to leave. If they leave, you will stay here," the woman said. "I don't dare to do that." "Who is he, why is he so weird?" "It's our captain!" Rotten said. The woman pouted, and refused to get up while sitting on the kang. It was bow-legged to send us on the way. He even lit three matchlocks and let us swing them along the way, saying that they can prevent wild animals and avoid ghosts.He sent us all the way to the girder of the ditch, pointing to the ruined Zhuangji that had collapsed into a broken wall, and said that Wang Sheng's home used to be here.Under the moonlight, the jujube tree that bound Wang Sheng was still there. Standing under the jujube tree, I imagined how the wolf ate Wang Sheng here. The ground rang, and a few shriveled jujubes from last year fell down.

Bow-legged, however, he walked towards a nearby grinding platform, half of which had collapsed, and the mill fan was still quietly glowing coldly under the moonlight, and the rotten head quietly said to my uncle and me: "The woman looks like a wimp, but she is actually a long-haired woman. It's not bad..." The uncle said: "A mouth full of awls is not bad, too?" The rotten head said: "What about the white teeth!" The uncle said: "Your virtue, you can't stand beauty tricks." The rotten head became frivolous: " She tricked me into a beauty trick? See how I can do it!" I said, "You sucker, you have a rough mouth!" But the bowed legs kicked down outside the grinding path. I thought he went there to defecate, but I saw it from his arms. Something came out, and then I picked up a stone and smashed it hard.I was baffled. When I went to look at it, it turned out that there was a mound on the other side of Kuntai. He said, "This is Wang Sheng's tomb. It is buried with Wang Sheng's head and hands. He nailed it on Wang Sheng's tomb." Peach wedges. "I hate Wang Sheng!" he said. "You should thank him!" I said. "His ghost must be attached to my wife. You don't know. That woman has been talking about his Wang Sheng for a year and a half. Even when she sleeps with me at night, she still calls her Wang Sheng. One, and I need to answer." "You should nail the wedge to the wolf," I said, "Wang Sheng's grave was built in the wolf's belly." Passing by the jujube tree again, he kicked his bowed legs with his foot, and all the dried dates on the tree fell. He picked up a handful for me, and stuffed one in his mouth, but my uncle slapped my hand. The date was blown away, and he said, "You can't eat the fruit with wronged souls!" The bandy-legged face suddenly turned pale with shock, saying that he swallowed the date, and he swallowed such a big date as soon as he gurgled it into his mouth.
