Chapter 7 tengu.autumn

September 3rd is Tengu's birthday.Tengu is the rat, the first of the twelve zodiac signs.In the threshold year of thirty-six, there is still a kind of taboo that can't be shaken off, and he is afraid of doing everything. Speaking of which, Tengu is pitiful enough in this matter.The relatives and relatives of the Wang family are not very prosperous, and there are not many honest people. After the father and mother passed away, most of them cut off communication, and the younger half went away occasionally. It is also difficult to see that Tiangu is not a person who can be successful, and the relationship is also as weak as water. .He was the oldest nephew in his uncle's family, and when his uncle died, he cried the most. But he wrote a Mingjing to his uncle and became the first nephew's tengu, but his name couldn't be ranked.The son of the deceased third aunt was the director of the county bank. He had a head and face, a wife and son, and he replaced Tengu. At that time, Tengu was very angry.So he knelt down in front of his uncle's grave and cried again.Since then, I have only been in love with my aunt.

Auntie is the only survivor among Tengu Niang's sisters. She should be old, but she is not old. She said that it is because of "caring about Tengu". She cares about Tengu, and the most concerned thing is Tengu's marriage.Seeing that Tiangu hadn't married at the age of thirty-five, he was even more panicked at the threshold year of thirty-six, so he repeatedly reminded him to be careful and always be careful in this year.And it is necessary for the Tengu to make a big mistake on his birthday, to repel evil with joy, and to ward off disasters and avoid disasters. It's not someone else who celebrates Tengu's birthday, but Shi Niang.For the first three days, she refused to let the teacher and the apprentice go to dig the well, and on the third day of September, a feast was set up with seven dishes and eight bowls.During the dinner, my aunt came from the other side of the river.She went to Tengu's house first but did not find Tengu, so she came here to look at the table and said many words of gratitude.At that time, he put the dried noodles and noodle fish he had brought on the cabinet, and handed over a shirt, a red silk bellyband and a red trouser belt to Tiangou.Treating the thirty-six-year-old Tengu with the care of celebrating the new year with a baby, the Tengu laughed like hell on the spot.As soon as the aunt left, he was about to give these things to Wu Xing, and his wife got annoyed and insisted on telling him to wear them.That expression was serious, and the tengu obeyed.

Now, the dangerous year is coming to an end, and my aunt came from the other side of the river again. Seeing that the tengu has strong limbs, rosy blood, and likes to chant Buddha, she said: "It seems that you are a man with a strong life. It's even better." When the aunt talked about the happy place, she kept nagging that the Wang family was not extinct at all, and her eyes turned red when she thought of the sister who died early. "Tengu, once your birthday is over, your marriage will be disturbed. The King of Yama will keep your aunt in this world, and she will not die if she doesn't watch you get married. Tell your aunt, haven't you been looking for one in this year? ?”

Tengu said, "No." The aunt said: "The next one I will show you is a second marriage. She is decent and has a three-year-old baby. She is divorced in spring. I wonder if you like it?" Tengu said: "Auntie is also confused! I have never met this person before, how can I say whether I want to or not?" The aunt said: "Then tell me, what kind of woman do you want?" Tengu squeaked for a long time, but still couldn't speak.The aunt twisted his ears: "What shame is there. He is thirty-six or seven, and he said that women are still blushing, and their hearts are not open!" Tiangou laughed at the aunt in his heart, what did Tiangou not know! But after listening Auntie's words made her look more embarrassed, showing that Tengu is a sincere person.Not wanting to be self-defeating, the aunt sighed and stopped asking him.Tengu finally couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Auntie, how about Wuxingniang?"

After speaking, he held his breath. The aunt said: "Not as soft as Wuxingniang, but younger than Wuxingniang. Tiangou, you don't understand women. The bigger the sweet potato is, the better it is. The smaller the sweet potato, the more precious it is for women." Tengu pretended not to understand. The aunt pulled Tengu's shoulders and found that the clothes on the back of her shoulders were torn. She sewed them up with a needle and said, "That widow has a baby. It's fine if she has a baby. If she isn't raised by her own, it doesn't mean that she is not filial to us. I'm sorry. The widow mentioned you, but people would like to, but she said that her natal family has an old lady and a little brother, and they rely on her to support them. If she wants to remarry, she has to pay some money to her natal family. How much do you have saved now?" Tiangou said "There are three hundred." The aunt said: "That's a fly in the tiger's mouth! You still have to save money." Tiangou's heart became cold, and he said: "If that's the case, forget it." The aunt relied on the old to sell the old, Say: "What's the matter? You have to make up your mind about this matter! You don't know the sweetness of sugar if you don't eat sugar. Women have many advantages. They cook for you during the day, warm your feet at night, talk to you as a companion, and give birth to children." Yuu Daughter, do you dare to be sloppy again? When will I take you to see someone, book the person first, and save the money slowly."

Three days later, Tengu went to see the widow. Although she was not as glamorous as her aunt said, she had a flat face.When he came back and told Wu Xingniang about this, the Bodhisattva was overjoyed and said, "This is finally settled, Tengu, you grit your teeth, work harder these few months, eat and drink yourself harder, so that you can save money. "Tiangou said: "That woman is too serious. She is not looking for a man, but for a creditor." The woman said: "Hey, women who are women have shallow eye sockets; You really think about it before and after." Tengu said, "That's not the case!" His wife laughed, and scolded "Tengu's poor mouth".Tengu is poor-mouthed, and Tengu can't speak sweet words politely, so Leng Ding said "sour words" and smiled with white and sharp teeth.Tengu said again: "Why can't I always get along with her?" The woman saw that he was serious, and stared at Tengu with white eye sockets: "Do you think she is a widow?" No matter how old it is, as long as the person is good, I'm still willing!" As soon as the words came out, the woman's face changed, and Tiangu also felt that she had missed the point, and the two of them felt very awkward.The woman said that she was going to cut yellow wheat stalks and dry firewood in the back mountain, and the tengu got up and left.

Before going out, the woman stopped Tengu and said, "Tengu, come when you get dark at night, and I will roll out long noodles for you to eat." Tengu said: "Hey, life is really rich, and you also eat long noodles at night?" The woman said: "Not only long noodles, but also red eggs! Think about it, what day is tomorrow?" Tengu suddenly remembered that tomorrow was his birthday, blushed and said: "Master, I have no father or mother in Tengu, only you remember my birthday, I don't know how to thank you!" The woman said: "Look, the goofy talk is coming again, the tengu has learned to be untrue!"

Tengu said: "Everything I said is from the heart. Master, as long as you have this sentence, Tengu can do anything. Tengu can live ninety-nine! As for birthdays, I can forget it. Now that it is no longer Master's apprentice, do you need to worry about it?" The woman said: "Hey, my daughter-in-law has not written her horoscope yet, she started talking to me about outsiders? I'm afraid it will be the last birthday I celebrate for you. When you get married, next year I will go to your house to eat that The long noodles rolled by the girl! I will come today no matter what, and the threshold year is over, I will also congratulate you!"

As the woman spoke, her eyes were charming.The good-for-nothing tengu loves to see this look the most, and is also most afraid of it. He is made of a piece of ice, and it will melt into water if it shines on it. Tengu returned home in high spirits.Standing under the eaves and watching the neighing grasshopper for a while, I thought of the many kindnesses of my wife.Thinking of the hot place, I said in my heart, this woman must be a Bodhisattva, everyone came to this world to have an effect, the carpenter’s effect on the wood, the stonemason’s effect on the stone; his master was born to act on the well, my tengu was born to act Yu Huang Maijian, and this woman was born for the sake of beauty, kindness, and grace in this society.Tengu felt very satisfied with such insights.Suddenly, I thought, Bodhisattva is going to the back of the mountain to cut grass and dry firewood. How much firewood can such a person with thin feet and delicate hands cut down? Why don’t I help her? I took the sickle and walked to the back mountain.

The grass on the back mountain is everywhere, and it is almost late autumn, and the grass leaves are all yellow.As soon as the yellow wheat stalk matures, it becomes stiff, and the yellow color is golden again, rustling in the wind.Tengu stood in the grass, looking around, but he didn't see the woman, so he bent down and cut it, tied up three bundles of grass and planted them there. It came out after the bundle to frighten her. But the Bodhisattva did not come. Tengu took the sickle and walked to a small spring in a puddle to grind it.The water is shallow, and the grass by the spring is trembling. A few gnats are paddling on the surface of the water. The tengu's hand is already close. Usually go away.Tengu hacked a few times in the water with a sickle, and then fell into the grass nest by the spring.Looking at the clean sky, thinking of the white-faced little widow on the other side of the Danjiang River, thinking of the Bodhisattva rolling out longevity noodles at home with her tits raised, she felt beautiful again, as if she was sitting in a golden palace to act as the emperor's old son.Tengu has acquired the virtue of singing over the years, and now he wants to sing in his heart, so he sang:

I miss you impatiently. Four taels of lamp grass is hard to bear, Over the wall, I heard my sister say something, I can climb nine mountains in a row. After the Tengu sang, his interest was not exhausted, so he thought again: Who can hear this song? Then he thought of another one, and sang in an artificial tone: Lang is shouting folk songs at the opposite door, My sister is weaving silk in the room, I sang it so well that you died of plague and never died. Singing so that the slaves are lame and lame, I can't step on the cloud board to listen to folk songs. After singing, Tengu was also tired. While looking at the road down the mountain, a person ran over on the road. Tengu recognized that it was the teacher's wife. And shouted: "Tengu, Tengu!" There was something strange in the voice, and Tengu stood up. The woman also saw the Tengu, and cried out in a crying voice: "Tengu, come quickly, something happened to your master!" The Tengu immediately stopped singing, stopped laughing, and ran down. The woman said, "Why did you come up to the mountain? I can't find you anywhere! Your master was digging a well, and the well collapsed, and a big rock pressed him down. There is no way to save him, you have drilled a well, you go and save him, he has been your master after all, Tengu!" Tengu's blood splashed on the ground, turned around and ran towards Baozi.The woman was paralyzed on the ground and could not get up.Tengu came to support her again, and flew to Liu's house.The courtyard of Liu's house was full of people. It turned out that the well was drilled to twenty-five feet, and a huge rock appeared. The master chiseled the hole, filled it with explosives and exploded it. When he went back down the well for the second time, the stone was cracked, but he couldn't get it out. For the big one, he dug the soil from the side, and when the soil was dug away, he only said that the stone still didn't move, so he used a crowbar underneath, not wanting the stone to collapse, and half of his body was pressed down.The people on the well panicked, and they didn't dare to pry the stone when they went down. They were afraid that the stone would be misplaced and hurt Shishi's life. The news was reported to Wu Xingniang, and the woman looked for the tengu everywhere. Tiangou immediately went down to the well, but the master had passed out, and the stone was still on his lower body.He shouted "Master" while digging the soil under the master. He was anxious, tired, and afraid that the stone would fall down if he was not careful. He finally pulled the master out and climbed up the well platform bloodied on his back. After several days and nights of rescue work, Jing Bashiki's life was saved, but what could not be saved was his nerves from the waist down.A staunch well-drilling craftsman, since then he has been paralyzed on the kang and has become a useless person. As a farmer, you are not afraid of lacking anything, but you are afraid of lacking money; you should have everything, but you dare not get sick.Tengu's master has been fighting the well for several years, but now that he has hit this point, the family has completely collapsed.The woman waited on her husband in the hospital for three months, weeping sadly, her eyes were swollen, and her mouth and tongue were sore.Tengu didn't eat the longevity noodles for his birthday, and someone's child carried away the yellow wheat stalk firewood that was cut down on the back mountain.He never went up the mountain to plan the roots of yellow wheat, and of course he never entered the provincial capital.For the master's injury, Tengu and his wife went to a state-run hospital, and also found a private doctor.Still unable to stand up in the well handle pose.The master's heart was also disheartened, and he cried like an old cow on the kang, bumping his head against the end.It's easy to talk and persuade, it takes a strong-hearted man to not commit suicide, but Riyi is sad and pessimistic, and his brain is broken, and he looks dumbfounded. After a few months of tossing, the woman lost her usual brilliance, looked haggard, exhausted, squatted down to work for a while, and a black cloud floated leisurely in front of her eyes.What made her suffer even more was that the savings at home were being spent like water, and the emptiness was becoming increasingly empty. She did not dare to say a word to her husband, and often cried in places where no one was around. Tengu looked at it, his heart felt like a knife, thinking that he could not replace the master.The master is a person with long-term skills, and if he can lie on the kang instead of him, the family will not suffer so much; seeing the master's wife so pitiful is even more uncomfortable than Tengu himself paralyzed on the kang.But Tiangou is not from this family, so he can only persuade the master at the top of the kang and comfort the woman in the courtyard.Helping with farming, feeding pigs, and removing manure from pens; going out to ask doctors to get medicine, and using my own money to support it. An accident completely changed the character of the person.The well-handled style faded, and the woman became strong. Tengu said: "When you have a woman, you grow up." Now that there is no woman to accompany him, Tengu has also grown up. On this day, Tengu cut a few catties of meat and tofu and brought them back. The woman said, "Tengu, if you keep doing this, I'll be annoyed! This house has become a bottomless black hole. How much savings can you fill up?" Man?!" Tengu said: "Master, don't say these things now, I'm easy to do by myself after all." The woman said: "It's not like you have gold and silver, and you haven't sold brushes for so long. What other skills do you have? You spent all your money, so how can you marry the woman on the other side of the river?" Tengu did not explain to his wife.The night before yesterday, my aunt came across the river to look for him again, saying that the little widow had something to say, and asked how the money was raised here, and if she still couldn't get a thousand yuan at the end of the month, she wouldn't wait any longer. All the bachelors are in the media.Tengu got angry and said: "It depends on who has more money and let her go; I have a thousand yuan, and for a thousand yuan, I can buy ten pigs for the master to repair the body!" , asked him if he wanted a son? Tengu said more rudely: "I put a thousand yuan there, and I gave birth to a son of money!" The aunt turned pale with anger, quarreled all night, and broke up unhappy. The wife of course didn't know about this, so she still said: "Tiangu, it seems that the three township meetings will be held in March, and the son-in-law has gone to the father-in-law. Although you are not married, you should go to the house on the other side. Since the meat is bought, we will buy it. Don't eat, I will steam another twenty buns at night, you can go for a walk tomorrow." Hearing this, the Tengu became furious, forgot that he was in front of this suffering Bodhisattva, and said anxiously, "I won't go!", The woman said: "How dare you talk nonsense!" The paralyzed master heard it all on the earth kang in the upper house, so he knocked on the edge of the kang to call the dog. When the dog entered, the master said, "Why don't you go? You want to die of old age and become a ghost?!" Next, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Master is a useless person now, you don't need to listen to other words, as long as you listen to one sentence, go to the other side of the river obediently tomorrow, and the clothes on your body will be worn by an oilman. Wash it up, bah!" Only then did Tiangou tell the truth: "It's already too late!" After finishing speaking, he didn't explain any more, walked out the door, and walked out of the yard. Jing Bashi and the woman were stunned for a while, and finally the woman burst into tears. At night, the master came to Tengu's house, asked the whole story, and knew that everything was caused by her family's encumbrance, so she kept yelling "Sin!" Bitch.When Tiangou saw a woman scolding him, he felt that this woman was virtuous and respectable.The woman scolded and scolded herself, crying. Tengu stood there like a bewildered child. The woman said: "Tengu, it was my family who harmed you. Father Wuxing and I have a sin that cannot be redeemed for the rest of our lives. If things fall into this field, my house is empty, and so are you. Even if your Tengu still has a penny , I will not let you post compensation to my family anymore. But in this family, there are people who come out and people who come in, and everything needs money. I think about it, let Wuxing come back and do other things." Tiangou said: "Master, this is impossible. Wuxing delayed his studies for a few days first, and it was hard for him to resume his studies. No matter how poor or hard he is, he dare not delay Wuxing's studies." Why don't women understand this truth.But Fu Taoist family has a soft heart, after some reasoning with Tiangou, they agreed not to let Wuxing suspend school.But when I got home, as soon as I entered the room, I saw my husband in a mess, and my heart changed again.The middle-aged couple didn't sleep well all night. One moment they decided to suspend Wuxing from school, saying it was good to stop studying;Shit and pee can’t be the master’s decision, so I sniffed my nose loudly and cried, “I’m the one who harmed your mothers and other dogs, so why don’t I die! Buy me a pack of rat poison, let me I drank it, it’s useless to live anyway, and I don’t need to spend money to take medicine!” The woman shed tears when she heard this, and said, “Father, don’t say that, do your family despise you? Sleeping here and not doing anything:, you are also the backbone of this family. If you say this again, you will kill me with a knife. Do you still think that my heart is not broken?" The man remained silent. The couple had spoken the most words since they got married, and only then did they deeply appreciate each other's warmth; a pair of jumping grasshoppers were tied to the bitter rope of life, and they couldn't do without each other.It was late at night, and the oil lamp buzzed for a while in the lamp socket of the boundary wall. When the oil was exhausted, the lamp went out. The woman had to light the lamp, and the man said, "Forget it." In order to save a match and a cup of oil, tears in the dark night In the flashing light, the man was pressed down and fell asleep, his unconscious legs were shrinking day by day, the woman rubbed him under the quilt to activate his blood vessels, and after turning his lower body for the man several times, the woman stripped naked She cuddled up to her husband and fell asleep like a cat.At four o'clock, the woman was suddenly awakened by the man, and she called out, "Why didn't you fall asleep?" The man said, "I can't sleep." Come on, I have something to tell you. The woman sat up and hugged the quilt. The corner of the quilt was wet, and it was the man's tears. The moonlight shone in through the window, and the woman looked at her husband's distorted face in pain. The man said: "I have been strong all my life, and I have been selfish all my life. I have been married to you for more than ten years, and I didn't treat you well. This is something I feel ashamed when I think about it now. I am finished now, and I will die." I can't live without this kang. People often say: "Patients have a lot of worries." I think about it all day long. I have thought about everything, and I have thought about death. You scolded me, and you were right, and I have no face anymore. Go to hell, I'll live. But our family can't go on like this, Wuxing his mother! So I thought, you don't have to leave me, I'm still your man, but in the world men support women, women How can you support a man? There are 'recruiting a husband and raising a husband' in both the north and the south mountains..." The woman quietly listened to the man's narration, and the more she listened, the more frightened she became. At the end, she covered the mouth of the well handle and said, "I won't listen, I won't listen, you've been dreaming while sleeping on the kang What is it!" Tears fell down on the quilt. There is such a custom in the deep mountains to recruit a husband and raise a husband.Bodhisattva women have also heard of such cases on weekdays, and it is only a kind of news, a kind of interesting talk.Now that her husband wanted her to play the part in this case, she convulsed and shook like chaff. The man saw the woman so miserable, and he was heartbroken. He sighed and said, "It's a shame for me to say this. But you don't want me to die, and you don't want me to die. You let me sleep here to watch you suffer and suffer." , I will not die by the medicine on the rope, but I will kill myself with my heart!" The woman threw herself on the man, mourning: "As long as it is for you, I can do anything, but you let me recruit a husband, where can I recruit? Which single man is willing to come into our door? If someone comes, okay Forget it, if a bad person treats you badly, then I won’t even have tears in my eyes!” The couple hugged their heads and cried until dawn.At dawn, I heard the howling of wolves on the far back mountain, as if people were crying. Early in the morning, the woman is going to the back mountain to mow grass and dry firewood. The man reminds me not to go to the shady valley when mowing on the sunny side. If you meet any dog, first call out "Wolf, wolf!" ; If you accidentally bump into a wasp, don't run away, cover your head and face with grass and pretend to be dead on the spot.The woman took them all to heart and left.As soon as the man saw the woman leave, he let out a cry of grief at home, which alarmed the neighbors.When someone came in, he begged someone to fetch the Tengu, saying that he had something to say. The tengu was bored at home, too anxious to grasp anything, so he weaved a grasshopper cage in boredom.The grasshopper in March is not yet active, and has no voiceless voice to vent his worries, so he just stares at the empty cage in a daze.When he arrived at the master's kang, he thought that the master was going to talk about letting Wuxing drop out of school again, so he said: "Master, with my tengu here, I will always be your apprentice. I am not that unfamiliar dog, I am a tengu." It's no big deal, but I won't let the master's family go down, no matter what, Wu Xing wants him to study hard." The master said: "Tengu, it's also my fault that I was blind earlier and didn't let you and me continue to dig wells. People are so useless. Only when something happens will they understand, but it's too late to understand. You give the master Say, that little widow on the other side of the river really blown it?" Tiangou said: "Blow it, that woman is only looking at money! Don't say she doesn't want to, it's just her virtue. The seventeenth and eighteenth blooms like a flower. I went over to pick up a piece of tile and cover it. I don't care. Reason. Think about it, if my wife is like that, she would have left you for a long time." The master said: "Oh, your mistress is soft-tempered and has been angry with me for half her life, but she is kind-hearted. With such a wife, I, Li Zhengshi, are satisfied. But now, she is suffering too much. After all, she is a woman. , There is no labor in the field, no helpers inside and outside, don't let Xing drop out of school, food, drink and money, plus wait on me, a useless person, my heart breaks when I think about it. Tengu, I want her Take a way of recruiting a husband and raising a husband, tell me the truth, is it impossible?" Tiangou couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart when he heard this.The disability made the master another person.To make such a decision, how much blood has been shed in the master's heart? No, no, Tengu shook his head.But if you don't go this way, the poor teacher will not be able to jump out of the sea of ​​suffering, and the tengu shakes its head again.Tengu didn't return Tianli, just shook his head uncertainly.The two were silent for a long time, and Tengu said: "Master, did you tell Master about this?" The master said: "It doesn't make sense. But from a practical point of view, it's good. It's not against the law, and others can't tell a joke. What do you think?" Tengu said, "Is there a suitable person?" The master didn't answer. After being in trouble for a long time, he pulled the tengu to sit closer and said, "Trouble, tengu, who can come here? When your teacher heard me say this, she just cried. I think, you You also know the kindness of Shi Niang, there are not many people in this castle who can catch up with her. Although she is almost forty, she still can't tell from her appearance..." As he spoke, he looked straight at Tengu's face . Tengu was not stupid, he could read what the master said, his heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his head. The room was silent. Tengu slipped down from the kang and sat on the straw futon.In the yard, a woman came in with a tall cage of firewood on her back, and set it there with a bang.On the southeast corner of the courtyard wall, the accumulated firewood has become a mountain.The woman was sweating all over her face, and her hair was sticking to her forehead. Before she could sit down and take a breath, she saw the Tengu coming out of the main room, and called out "Tengu!" Tengu walked out of the yard in a daze, without even turning his head. For three days, Baozi on the bank of the Danjiang River was immersed in the festival of the Three Township Association in March.Farmers stop all work in these few days, or enjoy themselves at home, or visit relatives frequently.The unmarried sons-in-law all dressed freshly and brought four-color big gifts to worship Mount Tai and Taishui.Taishan Taishui showed their generosity for the first time, allowing their daughter and the little man to go to the mountain to pick bracken.It rains a lot in March, and the bracken is tender and springy.The fern pickers also picked ripe love fruits in the cliff back valley and the red-eyed cat bushes.The back window of Tengu's house was facing the mountain, and there was a picture in the window, and he sang softly the song that was to be sung on March 3rd in previous years: Looking far away, my good sister, Kui Tuo Tuo, Carry a bag on your back, Come up the mountain to pick ferns, Second, go up the mountain to find brother love, I have something to say to my brother. After singing, Tengu sighed, closed the window, fell down on the kang and fell asleep under the quilt.Tengu had never been in such a trance before, he didn't want to see anyone, until at night when everyone fell asleep, Tengu walked to the long stone on the opening of the gate of the castle.The old place is heavy, and the scenery is full of emotion. In the distance is the white sandy beach of Danjiang River, and there is no sound on the beach.Tonight's moon is no longer the moon that the dog wants to devour, but the dog in the world, a thirty-seven-year-old boy, has a lot of feelings in his heart.The master's woman, the master's wife, the bodhisattva, and the moon made the tengu realize a real woman.During more than a year of his apprenticeship and more than ten years of living in the neighborhood of a bungalow, Tengu liked this woman.A waist of a woman, a step, a wink, all make him touch My whole body felt crisp like electricity, and I recalled it hundreds of times for fear of disappearing.He Tengu once doubted and feared his own feelings, and warned himself not to have such unreasonable thoughts.But what surprised Tengu was that for this woman, he was only full of love, and every impulse of love absolutely drove back any other evil thoughts.Tiangu is not a saint, he can be ashamed and restrained in front of this woman, he can be regarded as a saint.Therefore, Tengu also dares to take this kind of liking and love as his own life needs, and become a favored look, and he has to be shy and submissive like a child in front of this Bodhisattva. On the night of the eclipse, the woman prays for her husband and another little man here and sings the song of praying for the moon, and the tengu also sings two songs for the woman.If there is an elf in the singing, is it in the river or in the grass? "Want me to be her second man now?" The one who said this was not him, nor his wife whom Tengu loved, but his master, the real husband of the woman! How should Tengu answer? "I am willing, I have long been willing" Tengu should say so , but can't say it.She is the mother-in-law, a mother figure that Tengu admires and relies on, can Tengu say "I am her man"? Tengu, Tengu, your intelligence is not enough, your bravery is not enough, and your face is so red as if wrapped Hongbu didn't dare to look at his master, his wife, or himself.Facing the mirror in the house, facing the water at the bottom of the well, and facing the bright and bright moon overhead tonight, I dare not look at it, for fear of seeing that the tengu is a big monster. The fourth day is Sunday.Wuxing came back from school and went to dig licorice roots in the sand by the river. Tiangou saw it and asked, "Wuxing, why are you digging that licorice?" Wu Xing said, "Pick up medicine for my mother." Tengu panicked: "Picking medicine? Is your mother sick? What's wrong?" Wu Xing said: "When I came back from school, my mother and father quarreled, and my mother fell asleep. She said that her stomach was bulging and her heart hurt. My father asked me to pick it." Standing on the sand, Tengu felt dizzy for a while. "Uncle Tiangou, what's the matter with you?" "The sun is scorching hot. Wuxing, have you made progress in your studies?" "Uncle Tiangou, my mother won't let me read it again." "Didn't you tell her not to stop studying?" "My mother said it. She knelt down and told me that the family is in trouble, so I can't drag you down all the time. She wants me to come back to work." Tengu returned home silently, crying loudly.He packed up his luggage, determined to go to the provincial capital, and left the castle quietly, like a cloud that does not rain, or a piece of water, going out into the sky.But the dog couldn't move.Tiangou is on the 372 stone steps under the gate of Baozi, going down 300 steps and going up 200 steps.At this time, if the tengu is in the zoo, it is an anxious caged lion; if it is in the movie, it is a general in front of the map on the eve of the decisive battle. Tengu finally reached the door of the master's house. "Master, I'm here, I listen to the master!" The woman who was washing rice at the door was stunned, the shock was so great that the woman couldn't bear it, she stood there ignorantly, without thinking, without desire, the rice fell from the cracks of her hands like quicksand, suddenly her face twitched, tears gushed out, He called out "Tengu!" and was about to rush over from the threshold, but he limply on the threshold, crying silently without the sound of the words. The cadres in Baozi, the elders of the clan, and the clerks of the Wuli Township government gathered together to drink on the well handle style kang.Several parties faced each other and recognized this special marriage.It was agreed that these three people formed a special family.When three fingers pressed red marks on a piece of hard paper, the paralyzed man was supported to sit on the quilt, toasted the wine to everyone, to the dog, to the woman, to himself, and drank it. Wu Xing missed school for three days and went to school again.This was Tengu's will. The new father sent Wuxing ten miles away and broke up. Wuxing said: "Father, you go back." Tengu said: "Call me uncle." Wuxing obeyed and called "Uncle" again, Tengu smiled at the child. The dining table is placed in the middle hall of other people's houses, but the dining table of Jing Bashi's house is placed on the kang. It was on the kang before, and it is still on the kang now.Two men, the first sits on the left, the second sits on the right, the woman does not sit at the table, but eats at the fire of the stove, and when she sees someone's bowl is finished, she takes it with both hands to fill it, and then sends it with both hands. The wheat fields have to be watered, and people are busy day and night in the fields, so they don't eat together.The woman promises to cook a poached egg for the first person in the bowl every meal, but the first person does not eat it, and secretly puts it in the bottom of the second bowl.The Tengu came back and sat next to the master to eat. As he ate, he said to the woman sitting at the stove, "Why is there a bug in the rice?" He put the bowl on the pot.The woman came to eat the tengu's leftovers, but found no bugs, and the bugs turned into that poached egg. Tea and food gradually improved, and the faces of all three of them were rosy. On the night when representatives from several parties drank at home, the first man asked the woman to clean up the building in the afternoon, paste the ceiling, sweep the dust, and install a bed, so that the woman could sleep there at night.Women don't go.Before it was dark, the first man threw the pillow embroidered with mandarin ducks on the kang out of the window, and wrapped himself in a quilt to sleep.When the woman came back after picking up the pillow, he held up the window stick and beat frantically on the edge of the kang. The woman slept in the building in a panic.One night the door was not closed.In the first watch, I heard a dog biting, and I got up and closed the door; in the second watch, I heard the sound of walking outside the yard, and got up again to unbolt the door, and slept on the bed.Bu opened his eyes; the night was deep in the middle of the third watch, only to hear the crickets chirping at the base of the wall; Mihu dozed off in the fourth watch;Tengu he didn't come. this day dog, Think back then, Fine, just, aggressive, It is not enough to be heroic all day long. Since people call, Shame today, sad tomorrow, Become a tearful candle at once, I can't lift my head up. this woman in those days, Don't talk much, don't look distracted, There seems to be a line in my heart. Since recruiting people, Sad today, shameful tomorrow, Become a rotten door leaf at once, Day and night are not strict. The sun and the moon passed in a dull and cautious manner.The past day cannot be left behind, and the new day will make people worry.Another time after dinner, two men were smoking on the kang, and it was raining outside the house.An hour later, when the tobacco in the pipe was gone, Tengu stood up and went to fetch the coir raincoat hanging on the post.The older one said: "Tengu, you..." Tengu pretended to be confused, and said, "It's getting late, take a break, it will rain tomorrow morning, I called the Zile Ban for us, our house is lively The big one got angry, knocked the window stick on the edge of the kang, and said, "If you want to do that, I will die in front of you!" The dog stood there dumbly, respectful like a son, and called Said: "Master..." In the end, he walked out silently. It was raining harder and harder.
