Wu Kui carried the woman on his back and went back to Liu's house, but Liu's family became suspicious. It was not Wu Kui who suspected, but the woman.No matter how Wu Kui explained how he sneaked into Baifengzhai, took advantage of Tang Jing's drunkenness, and then secretly carried a woman on his back and withdrew, shopkeeper Liu just rewarded him with three liters of black beans.Apart from a basket of radishes and a full meal of millet rice with wine, the woman was not placed in the newly renovated bridal chamber, nor was she allowed to meet the young master, but rested in the wing room.The doors and windows are locked.At night, Mrs. Liu put a futon in the wing room, and the futon was covered with oilcloth.A pinch of light plant ash was pinched on the oilcloth, and the woman squatted on the futon with her legs apart.The woman didn't understand what was going on, so she squatted down and remained motionless.The mother-in-law asked her to poke her nostrils with a chicken feather, and then she sneezed loudly. The woman's snot and saliva sprayed out, but the ashes of the lamp plant still did not fly.The mother-in-law said: "You get dressed." After getting dressed, the mother-in-law took a wooden basin, opened the lid and released a turtle, and the woman was startled.Immediately jumped onto the stool.The mother-in-law said: "No rules!" The woman came down again.The mother-in-law said again: "You step on the back of the turtle!" Step on it in horror, always unable to stand.The good thing is that the tortoise is as silent as a cold stone, just aiming at it and stepping on it, the back of the tortoise.One corner rings.There was a small crack, and the woman fell to the ground.Mrs. Liu smiled slowly.Said: "Wu Kui is telling the truth. I don't plant other people's plows in my son's field!"

At this time, the woman knew that the mother-in-law was verifying her virginity, and she blushed and became annoyed.She escaped from the bandits and returned to the Liu family. What the Liu family wanted was not her and her heart, but her chastity! It seems that the Liu family was disappointed when they found out that she had been robbed. Just an unexpected bonus.Then, the bandit Tang Jing really spoiled her. During the test, because of her hymen burst and sneezing, the lower body was shot with ashes, and the back of the turtle was not cracked. How would the mother-in-law treat her?Two lines of sad and hot tears flowed down.

"Don't cry when you come back," said the mother-in-law, "from now on, don't tell anyone that you have been to Baifengzhai, only that Wu Kui hid under a rock with his back on his back! Do you remember? live!" The mother-in-law went out, and soon someone brought ginger soup to urge her to take it, someone came in and put incense on her head and circled it three times around her body, and someone carried a ring basin and added chrysanthemum soup for her to take a bath, then Hearing the explosion of firecrackers outside, seven or eight people came to hold her on a donkey with a red silk ribbon.Sitting on her, her face was opposite to the donkey's head, and when she was about to turn around, the donkey driver said: "Only by riding backwards can you eliminate disasters and crimes!" She hugged her and walked out of the wing room, and walked around in the yard with the donkey. In a circle, each circle lit an incense stick on the wooden stakes planted vertically in the direction of east, west, north, south, and by the time it made her dizzy and stopped, she was already sitting on the kang in the bridal chamber.

On the kang, the bride was not sitting alone on a straw mat of four or six when she first entered the bridal chamber, but the red felt and green quilt was covered softly, and her husband, Young Master Liu, was sleeping in the quilt. Wu Kui slept with his head covered for three days and three nights. He was as comatose as death. When he woke up at dusk on the third day, he recalled the past, and his panic was gone. Both legs have been broken, and in this life, he is so disabled that he can only lie on the kang. Wu Kui regretted it beating his chest and stamping his feet. Was the woman he risked his life to snatch back just to let her accompany a person who was not in human form?If you don't rescue yourself, no

In Baifengzhai, she made up the only big lie in her life, and the woman was Mrs. Yazhai of Baifengzhai.Marrying a bandit has a bad reputation, but the bandit Tang Jing is young and heroic, he is a real man! Alas, whether he did a good deed or a sin, Wu Kui burst into tears. Why is this?A bodhisattva-like woman, loved by everyone, originally had the best husband.It is the greatest blessing, but the fate is so bad. On the first day when you really want to become a woman, you are robbed by bandits, and when you get to your husband's house, your husband is disabled. This is something that will make many men feel angry! I hated it, and felt sorry for the woman even more. I also thought of how Tang Jing from Baifengzhai sighed when he heard the news?

When a woman enters the bridal chamber, she sees that what is waiting for her is a lump without her legs.When I was a daughter, the vigorous passion for many years was extinguished by a scoop of cold water, and the longing for mandarin ducks disappeared for a while. What would a woman think of?Can you doubt your motives for how a poor and humble packer who has no relatives and no reason with the Liu family can risk his life to rescue her from the bandit den?Women must think that the young master of the Liu family is disabled first, and marry her later.Snatched by the bandits, he must have taken a lot of money from the Liu family to ransom her and then received a considerable reward from the Liu family.Ahhh, all of Wu Kui's heroic deeds turned out to be a conspiratorial deception. In the eyes of women, Wu Kui is a devil and a villain.He is a person who will be cursed forever for the rest of his life!

Wu Kui wants to go to Liu's house soon, and he wants to tell the woman all the truth. But Wu Kui had no reason to go to Liu's house. Except for weddings, funerals, a poor ghost can't just step into the gate of Liu's house.Wu Kui picked up dung early in the morning and passed the big field in front of Liu's house three times.Or stand far away on the embankment opposite the river in front of the big field, watching the movement in front of Liu's house. All day long, the sun has not yet risen, and a layer of mist at the entrance of the village and on the river bank is flickering with blue light.Wu Kui saw the woman carrying a basket to the river to wash clothes.The woman is still so handsome.His face was much paler, and he rolled up his sleeves and stretched his white lotus-like arms into the water to rub them back and forth.The bun that was originally coiled was loose, fluffed like a black lotus.Then a pinch fell off, and then it fell completely in front of the face, and the ends of the hair were also soaked in the river.The woman pushed her messy hair back several times, and often put her hands behind her head, but stood still and stared at the water in a daze.Wu Kui thought that if he raised his head a little bit, he would be able to see him squatting on the other side of the river looking at her, but the woman was always in that position.Wu Kui looked around, there was the sound of cows mooing in the ditch in the distance, the water wheel was turning in the water mill downstream of the river, a kite was flying leisurely above the field, and the kite was flying by three young children. As a village boy, Wu Kui became courageous, picked up the dung basket and moved towards the river with light feet. The sun came out of the mountain and his figure was printed on the river, and his face was printed on the woman's hands.

The woman was stunned for a while, and looked down to see a familiar face in the water, thinking that she was still immersed in a long memory and had a phantom, her face turned red, she hurriedly disturbed the water surface with her hands, and scrubbed vigorously clothing.However, just when she was in a daze again, the face of that person was reflected in the water again, she was startled now, and suddenly raised her head.What Wu Kui saw was a face of black hair like a waterfall, and the woman's wet hands brushed aside the bird's hair, her mouth was half-opened, but she didn't make a sound.

"Miss Liu," Wu Kui said, "do you wash it early in the morning?" The woman said, "Ah." Wu Kui had no more words. The woman said: "It's Wu Kui. I haven't seen you for a long time. Don't you live in the village? Why don't you come and sit?" Wu Kui said, "I live in Sandao Lane in the village. I'm afraid of that dog from the Liu family." The woman smiled, but it couldn't be as wonderful as the one on the road to marriage.Wu Kui saw that her eyes were red and seemed to be swollen. He understood why she was crying, and his heart sank.

"Fifth Kui, how are you doing?" the woman asked him instead. "I, I..." Wu Kui recalled his sins, "Young Madam Liu, I know everything... I really don't know what happened to this... Are you okay?" As soon as the woman's eyelashes were lowered, two tears fell down, and at the same time she smiled slightly.Said: "Fortunately. His wound no longer hurts." It was only then that Wu Kui noticed that what the woman was washing was not clothes, but a pile of cloth tapes that were stained with blood drops and medicinal soup.One slipped down the stone while talking.It's about to go down the river: the woman reaches for it, but doesn't.

Wu Kui was about to jump over the stone row on the river to help her salvage it, but the stone row was twisted and bent by the water.After passing it once and failing to skip it, the woman said: "I can't make it through, I can't make it through!" The more the woman couldn't say it, Wu Kui's temperament was violated. He wanted to prove that he could come over, so he stepped back a few steps and jumped over with a leap.But he still couldn't catch the cloth belt that had been washed away.Stamping with regret. "Forget it, just rush it," the woman said, "You live in Sandaoxiang, when will I go to thank you? Have you separated from your brother?" Wukui: "I lived alone. My place is not as dirty as yours." The woman said: "Then you come to my house often for a cup of tea! You are a kind person to the Liu family... I will come out to pick you up when I hear a dog biting me." The woman finished speaking.Pick up the cloth strips in the basket.Turned around and went back.The slope on the big field.Looking back, Wu Kui was still standing there watching her go, a silent smile flashed across his face half covered with black hair.Wu Kui remembered that his eyes were very thin and warped when he smiled.The woman seemed to know that Wu Kui was still looking at her, so her steps became unnatural, her hands and feet were a little stiff, but there was a sense of smell.Furthermore, Wu Kui still crossed the river to pick up dung on the other side of the land, and Lie Shi couldn't jump over.Wet shoes and trousers.
