Chapter 22 nineteen rooms.1

A dirt ditch surrounds the village. The ditch is damp and full of locust trees and messy shrubs. The dense branches of those century-old trees have been growing wildly for many years, and they almost cover the sky of the entire village.This is the nearest village to the lake, but no matter on the lake or on the mountain, it is not easy for people to find the nineteen huts hidden in the shade of trees.Wandering shopkeepers occasionally push their wheelbarrows past the lake, and they often miss this hidden village. The bandit Golden Leopard on the mountain called this village Nineteen Rooms. The bandits called it that, and so did the boat people on the lake. Later, the people in Ta Town, thirty miles away, also knew Nineteen Rooms.Chunmai came down from the mountain with a bamboo basket on his back. Chunmai was wearing a black shirt and black trousers with a red belt tied around his waist. He trotted down from the mountain.Chunmai looked to be in her fifties, but in fact she was less than thirty years old, and it had only been half a year for Chunmai to keep up with the Golden Leopard.

In the drying yard next to the tree ditch, there is a group of half-grown children drying hay, and the people in nineteen rooms are used to drying hay, grain or other things outside the village.Chunmai saw his son Shulai pulling a pile of hay with a fork. Shulai was still barebacked and barefoot in the deep autumn weather.When Chunmai walked over, a child shouted, "Book, your father has gone down the mountain."Shulai hesitantly turned his head and glanced at Chunmai. He blew his nose and wiped the snot on his shorts, but without saying anything, Shulai lowered his head and continued to pull the pile of hay.Why don't you call me Dad?Chun Mai's hand patted his son's bald head, and he said, where's your mother?Is your mother at home?Shulai just pointed to the village behind the tree ditch, but still didn't speak.Chunmai trotted all the way again, when he ran to the single-plank bridge, he remembered something, turned around and shouted to the book, have you become dumb?A worthless guy, you became dumb after not seeing you for half a year?After walking the single-plank bridge, I walked to the village, and walked to a large area of ​​dark and shaded trees that did not see the sun.Nineteen-room villagers have lived under the shade of this big tree since ancient times. Their thatched huts are often built with adobe and grass thatch with the trunks of several big trees as pillars.Such a simple residence has gone through vicissitudes of life. Although it is dilapidated and damp, nineteen rooms will always be nineteen rooms. They seem to be integrated with the surrounding woods.The nineteen rooms are divided into three rows and well arranged.Chunmai's house is in the last row, and among the five families in the last row, there are also Chunmai's widowed sister-in-law Shuizhi's family, and Chunmai's cousins.Chunmai walked past Shuizhi's house and saw Shuizhi was pounding rice. Some of her children were helping their mother with work, and some were crawling around on the ground.Sister-in-law, I'm back.Chun Mai poked her head in and shouted.He saw Shui Zhi smiled at him, and Shui Zhi said to the children, your uncle is back.The children rushed out, grabbed the hem of his clothes, and stabbed the bamboo basket on his back. They followed Chunmai into the house.

Chunmai saw vegetable porridge being cooked on the stove, and chopped vegetable leaves floating on the thin rice soup, light green and steaming.Liu'e was not in the house, and Liu'e didn't know where to go.Where is your aunt?Chunmai asked the nephews around him.The nephews all said they didn't know, their eyes were always fixed on the bamboo basket on Chunmai's back.Uncle, did you bring the candy home? Candy?Chunmai frowned, he put down the bamboo basket on his back and picked it upside down, what fell out was a roll of floral cloth.There's a fart of candy.Chunmai said viciously, it's fine if you don't starve to death, and want to eat candy?

Chunmai pushed the children away and walked out the door. He saw the widowed sister-in-law Shuizhi leaning against the door frame. Shuizhi's hair was covered with fine chaff, and she was patting the chaff on her head with her hands.What about Liu'e?Have you seen Liu'e? Shulai is drying grass in the drying yard. Didn't you see him when you entered the village?I didn't ask about the book, I asked if you saw Liu'e? It seems to have gone to the village chief's house.Shui Zhi's expression looked ambiguous.While talking, Chunmai saw Liu'e approaching. Liu'e was wearing a bright red shirt and walking over with a rice basket in her arms.Chunmai noticed that Liu'e's face was half gray and half white like a piece of paper, and he felt a little strange.But he quickly remembered that Liu'e's face was originally half gray and half white, not only Liu'e, the women in the nineteen rooms rarely saw sunlight all year round, and their faces were half gray and half white like pieces of paper.As soon as Liu'e entered the house, Chunmai closed the door.Chun Mai snatched the rice basket from the woman's arms, and dumped all the rice in the basket into the porridge pot.He heard the woman screaming from behind, are you crazy?It takes three to five days to eat.Chunmai dropped Miluo and said, I am crazy, hungry, crazy.While pulling out his trouser belt, Chunmai pushed the woman against the woodpile behind the stove with his body.The woman said, shameless bastard, in broad daylight, he will go home after reading a book.Chunmai didn't say a word, but took the woman's arms and pressed her to the woodpile.

The fire in the stove was burning hot, and the woman's breath sprayed on Chunmai's face quickly, carrying a fresh garlic smell.Chun Mai saw that the woman's face was glowing red from the stove fire, the woman clenched the corners of her mouth and closed her eyes.Chunmai concluded that the woman's appearance was just an act.Why do you smell so bad?Liu'e suddenly pushed Chunmai, she sat up and sniffed and said, you really stink to death. How come it doesn't stink?On the mountain, I poured the feces and urinals for the golden leopard every day.If you are worthless, you will assign him a toilet bowl.I have to pour it several times a day, maybe I will get it on my body.Chunmai also sniffed and sniffed his hands and black shirt. He said, it stinks, really stinks.You're worthless, I heard you still wipe his ass, right?

He asked me to wipe and I had to wipe.Chun Mai hesitated for a while and said, who made him a golden leopard?Then they heard the bolted door being knocked violently, and the bolt quickly fell.Before the couple had time to hide anything, the book came in the door.They had no choice but to huddle in the corner of the stove without moving, guessing whether Shulai had already found them.Shulai took a bowl of vegetable porridge from the boiling porridge pot, stood by the stove and slurped it up. He heard the whispers of his parents behind the stove, and the whispers gradually turned into quarrels. Shulai said nothing. Hair, just drinking the hot vegetable porridge.What did you do at the village chief's house?

What are you doing?To borrow rice.Didn't you see me go home with a rice basket in my arms?Didn't you see that the pot couldn't be removed at home?I can't borrow rice from anyone, but I have to ask that dirty guy to borrow it? You call him obscene, but his family's rice hoards are piled up as high as a mountain.You spent half a year on the mountain for the golden leopard, what did you bring home? I brought back a few feet of flowered cloth, which I got from robbing the cloth shop in Ta Town that day, and took it home to sew clothes for you.A good-for-nothing guy who pours the toilet bowl for him every day, only to bring home a few feet of floral cloth.The village head is not a bandit, but his family's rice hoards are as high as a mountain.As Liu'e said, she put on her clothes and got up from the woodpile. Liu'e walked to the stove, and Shulai was serving the third bowl of porridge. Liu'e snatched the iron spoon from her son's hand. Goods, leave a few mouthfuls for your father.

The next morning, the spring wheat was wandering around the village, the fog was very thick, and the water droplets that condensed on the trees at night were dripping like rain.Chunmai's hair, clothes and shoes were soaked in no time.Having been on the mountain for more than half a year, Chunmai is no longer used to the humid climate of the nineteen rooms.Chunmai thinks that people should live in the sun. Why did the ancestors choose this forest to build nineteen houses?A new grave was erected next to the ditch. It was the grave of Chunmai's brother, Da Zhuang.Chunmai saw that the grass on the grave was already knee-high.Chunmai scolded, heartless bastard, he was scolding the widowed sister-in-law Shuizhi, Chunmai Xiangcai had been dead for more than half a year, and the grass on the grave had grown so tall, why didn't she know to weed on the grave?The grass on the grave grows so high, what do you want a living person like her to do?Da Zhuang died at the gunpoint of the Japanese, but Chunmai, Liu'e and even the villagers in Nineteen Houses believed that Shuizhi had harmed Da Zhuang.At that time, the Japanese had just stationed in Ta Town, twenty miles away, and the Japanese guarded the intersection leading to Ta Town, preventing people from other villages from entering the town.The villagers of Nineteen Houses knew that they could not go to the market in Ta Town.But Shui Zhi insisted that Da Zhuang go to Ta Town to sell a cart of firewood.Shuizhi said, it's better if no one else goes, and it's easier to sell your firewood if no one else goes.Da Zhuang pushed a cart of firewood to Ta Town. Da Zhuang couldn't understand what the passing Japanese soldiers said. He bowed to them and tried to push the firewood cart into the town.Da Zhuang pushed the firewood cart for a certain distance, and suddenly ran away.It was at this time that the Japanese soldiers behind him shot him, one shot in the back and the other in the head.The next day, Chunmai followed the village head to Ta Town to drag Da Zhuang's body back. Da Zhuang was lying on the firewood cart with the firewood tied tightly under his body, and he didn't sell a single bundle.On the way back to the village, the village head said, what is he running for?He wouldn't have lost his life if he hadn't run.Chunmai imitated Liu'e's words and said that it was Shuizhi who harmed my brother, and that Baihuxing was a product that could kill men.Chunmai was pulling weeds on the grave, and heard the continuous singing of birds on the treetops. The birdsong also fell like raindrops in Shijiujianfang Village, on the top of Chunmai's bare head. The sounds of women getting up early to feed chickens and beating pig troughs also came from the three rows of thatched huts.Chunmai was a little irritable for no reason, and the weeds on the grave stopped halfway up.Chunmai patted his wet muddy hands and stood up. He thought that everyone in the grave was dead, so he still cared about the grass?The dead can't see anything, so they don't care if there is grass on the grave.A man in a felt hat was standing hunched under a tree. He was peeing and looking back at Chunmai.That was the village chief, Jin Guan.As soon as Chun Mai saw Jin Guan, he remembered Liu'e borrowing rice yesterday. Why did it take so long to borrow a basket of rice?Chunmai suspected that Liu'e had hooked up with Jin Guan during the time he was away from home. This bastard had hooked up with many women in the village by virtue of his money.

Chunmai, you are back.Jin Guan came over with his pants on. I'm home.Why didn't Chunmai come back?If I don't come back, the roof of my house will collapse.how could be?It must have collapsed last night, and the whole village could hear the movement of your house last night.Jin Guan approached Chunmai with a smile, and suddenly reached out and took a handful out of Chunmai's crotch. He said, it looked like a wilted eggplant right now. Chun Mai shook off Jin Guan's hand, and stepped on the soil on the grave with the soles of her feet, Chun Mai didn't want to talk to Jin Guan any more.What are you doing back here?can not say.Don't talk nonsense about the Golden Leopard.

I know it even if you don't tell me.I know more about the mountain than you, don't forget that the golden leopard is my uncle and brother.Jin Guan smiled and revealed a gold tooth and a silver tooth in his mouth. He took off the felt hat on his head and patted the dew on it, and then put on the hat again. Jin Guan glanced at Chunmai contemptuously, bowed his waist After walking a few steps forward, he stopped suddenly and said, "You have to be careful, other people can do whatever they want, you kind of mouse and rabbit, you must be careful."Chun Mai felt that Jin Guan's words were harsh, but after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't figure out what he meant, so Chun Mai spat at Jin Guan's shrimp-like back.In fact, Jin Guan reminded Chun Mai of the important event. Chun Mai suddenly thought of what Jin Bao told him before going down the mountain, and he almost forgot about the important event.Chunmai tapped her head, and ran quickly towards the house.Running to the door, Liu'e and Shulai each picked up a bucket and came out of the house, as if they were going to carry water from the well.

broken.Chunmai rushed into the house, knocking off the carrying pole for the book and the bucket in Liu'e's hand, breaking it, almost something bad happened.Chunmai rushed into the house and back out, running towards the cellar behind the house.You are crazy, where are you going?Liu'e chased after her and shouted.cellar.Golden Leopard asked me to empty out the cellar.Chunmai said out of breath, Jin Bao asked me to empty the cellar as soon as I got off the mountain. What are you doing?What's the matter with him in my cellar? Don't ask nonsense.Chun Mai pulled back the ceiling of the cellar, calmed down and said, Jin Bao said that he must not leak the news, and no one could tell. Golden Leopard is your father, so you can do whatever Golden Leopard asks you to do?Liu'e took a pole and stabbed Chunmai's waist. I forbid you to do it. If you feel anxious when you are too busy, you can carry water with the book, and let me enjoy the happiness and rest. You don't understand anything.Chunmai pulled the woman to her side and whispered in her ear that the golden leopard will go to the lake tomorrow to rob a boat, and the goods he got will be stored in the cellar of my house.We've got to clear the cellar.make room?Where are so many things going?Why should my cellar be concealed by them?Don't yell, be careful to let others hear you.Chun Mai covered the woman's mouth with her hand, and pinched her buttocks, who made her a golden leopard?Chun Mai said, who asked me to hang out with the Golden Leopard?He asked to vacate the cellar to vacate. You are afraid of him, I am not afraid of him, can he eat me?Liu'e threw away the pole in her hand, and walked into the cellar with her waist down. Liu'e's body was in the cellar, her face was still floating outside.If I leave half of my stuff at home, that's about the same.Liu'e told Chunmai that he should not let him occupy my cellar for nothing. Chunmai laughed and didn't know how to answer, but suddenly heard Liu'e scolding, shit, go dreaming.Chun Mai didn't know whether she was scolding herself or him.Chunmai was about to follow in, when she turned her head and saw Shulai standing behind with a bucket in her hand.The book seems to be undecided what to do.Go fetch water.Chunmai waved at his son, he's a teenager, can't he pick water?When the book arrived, he dragged his pole and bucket to the well alone.A lot of people gathered by the well platform, big and small buckets were piled up all over the floor, and he had to wait slowly for the books to arrive. He heard people whispering something on the well platform, golden leopard, golden leopard, golden leopard, this loud Shulai's name kept pouring into Shulai's ears, and Shulai had a premonition that something was going to happen in Nineteen Rooms.In the middle of the night, the dogs in the nineteen rooms barked together, and the Golden Leopard team led the horses and carried the load into the village.The light of oil lamps was lit on the window paper of every household in the nineteen rooms. They watched the golden leopard team from the crack of the door or through the hole in the window paper. They saw the group of people and their burdens standing in front of Chunmai's house. Get up, the golden leopard is here.Chunmai woke up Liu'e who was next to her. He jumped up from the bed and said, put on your clothes and get up, you have to get some food for Jinbao.There is nothing for him to eat.Liu'e sat up in a daze, and then lay down again, she said, I still need to sleep in the middle of the night.I have nothing for him to eat. Good or bad goods.While cursing, Chunmai rushed to the door to pull the latch. With a bang, the door had been kicked open by someone outside, and what came pouring in was a cold air unique to autumn nights and a few dark figures.Damn it, I didn't think I'd be able to make it today.Just as Chun Mai was about to explain something, she had already received a slap in the face.Chun Mai didn't see who it was, but he knew that it must be Jin Bao who beat him.He heard water dripping from the clothes of Jin Bao and the others. Everyone was wet. Chunmai guessed that they all fell into the lake when they hijacked the boat.What are you doing standing there?Help them get the goods to the cellar.Jinbao pushed the spring wheat again, and he said, it froze me to death, I should go to warm up. When Chunmai came to the cellar, someone had already started moving the goods into the cellar.Shulai didn't know when he got up. He stood by and stared blankly at the horses and the group of people carrying goods.Chun Mai knocked on the top of his son's head, what are you doing standing here?Go home and let your mother cook. A group of people moved the packages one by one to the cellar in the dark.The spring wheat is working very hard. He guesses that the bag contains grain. When he pinches it with his hands, it is soft. Maybe it is a bag of flour. When he pinches it, it is granular. It is either rice or salt. Chunmai thinks that no matter what it is, there is always something for him. One, this is the one that he followed the Golden Leopard on the mountain.The adjutant who moved a few bags of Golden Leopard asked Chun Mai to let go, not knowing what that meant.Chunmai thought it would be better not to let me do it, and it would be better to save some effort. When Chun Mai returned to the house, he saw the brothers on the mountain surrounding the stove with bowls in their hands, and some of them fell asleep leaning on the woodpile.Shulai was lighting a fire, he raised his head to look at Chunmai, and then at the door of the back room, with a weird expression on his face.Chunmai went to push the door of the back room, but it couldn't be opened. The door of the back room seemed to be locked.Chunmai turned around and looked around, but did not see Liu'e.Chunmai's heart suddenly rose, and suddenly sank again.A brother said to him with a smile, the golden leopard is freezing, and the golden leopard crawled into your bed to warm up.Damn goods.Chun Mai bumped her shoulder against the door panel of the back room, the old door panel creaked a few times, but there was no movement inside.Chun Mai used a wooden stick to push the exposed door bolt, the door bolt fell, and the door opened, Chun Mai staggered into it, and the two people in the bed immediately sat up.They looked at each other in the darkness, a dark red halo glowed from the naked bodies of the two people on the bed.A muffled groan came from Chunmai's throat, and Chunmai blocked her face with her palms up.What are you doing here?I haven't warmed up yet.Jin Bao said in the dark, the urinal is under the bed, the urinal is almost full, you can empty it out for me immediately.Chunmai didn't speak, Chunmai's teeth rattled like a pendulum.What are you doing standing there?Go and empty the urinal.Jin Bao said in the dark.Chunmai walked over to pick up the urinal, his hands were shaking like a swing, and half of the urine splashed on the ground. At this time, he heard the woman on the bed gnashing her teeth and scolding, worthless, worthless. When Chunmai walked outside the house, he suddenly forgot where to put the urinal, so he walked around the house with it, and when he got to the back of the house, he suddenly found a figure lying on the window sill of the back window. The black shadow splashed at his feet. The figure jumped up screaming, it turned out to be the widowed sister-in-law Shuizhi next door.What are you looking at at the window in the middle of the night? What are you looking at?I didn't look at you again.Shuizhi sneered in the dark, she lowered her voice and said, shameless bastard, do you still have the guts to empty their urinals?Watching that guy put a cuckold on you, do you still have the guts to empty the toilet for them?Liu'e is sleeping, it's late at night, you should also go back to the house and sleep.If you are a man, if you are a bit bloody, go in and chop them up, or you can put a knife on your own neck. You don't need to take care of my family's affairs, you go back to the house and go to sleep. Chun Mai heard her voice suddenly become hoarse, and her heart felt heavy like a stone had fallen.He walked to the door with the urinal in his hand and stopped, looking around the village in the night mist, the surroundings were pitch black, occasionally some tiny rays of light from the stars and the moon pierced through the shade of the trees above the village and cast down, and a few silver streaks floated on the ground White light streaks.The strong wind blowing from the lake shook every tree and every thatched hut, and the rustling sound of the wind was circling around the village like a fish.Dog days of dirty goods.Chunmai choked up and cursed.Goofy bastards are too deceitful.Chunmai hugged his shoulders and wandered by the firewood stack, when he heard someone come out of the door and stood at the base of the wall to pee loudly.Chun Mai, how did you sleep tonight?The man said to him in a mocking tone, you can squeeze with us in the kitchen tonight. Chunmai didn't say anything, his eyes were fixed on a shining halo on the woodpile.It was a hatchet.Chunmai stepped forward and fiddled with the handle of the hatchet, and the hatchet rolled down from the pile of firewood.If you don't kill you, who will you kill?Chunmai muttered and grabbed the hatchet.Chunmai did not expect that the hatchet that had been stained with Qiulu was so cold, the cold air from the handle penetrated into his heart and into his bones.Chunmai broke into the house with a hatchet in hand. He saw the dim light of the oil lamp shining on the blue and yellow mottled faces of the group of people, who fell asleep staggeringly.His son Shulai stood up from behind the stove, and Shulai stared at Chunmai and the hatchet in his hand with a strange look.Dad, half of Shulai's voice was stuck in his throat, but the other half was like a worm getting into Chunmai's ear. Chunmai shivered again, and he changed his hand to grab the hatchet. He said, I'm going to chop up that bastard.Cut down that bastard.Chunmai staggered into the back room, and moved towards the bed with a hatchet in his right hand.The bed creaked, and the two people on the bed sat up. While touching the shell gun in the dark, Jin Bao said to Chun Mai's shadow, Chun Mai, what are you doing here?Chunmai waved his hatchet and moved towards Jinbao step by step. He said, sleeping with my woman in front of me, you Jinbao is too deceitful.Jin Bao fumbled under the pillow, but failed to touch his gun, so Jin Bao pulled Liu'e forward to cover his head, and suddenly shouted, "Chunmai, empty the urinal!" The black shadow of Chunmai swayed, and he subconsciously looked behind him, but there was nothing. Jinbao’s hoarse laughter sounded in the darkness. Get out of bed.Chunmai, I think you dare to take a step forward.The golden leopard pulled the trigger and tapped the edge of the bed with the butt of the gun, Chunmai, let’s go, you can go further. Chunmai took a step forward and then stopped. Chunmai's hand grasping the hatchet was like a branch suddenly broken by the wind, hanging down suddenly.With a bang, the hatchet fell to the cold brick floor.Pick up the knife, Chunmai, pick up the knife and chop me.Jin Bao said in the dark. Pick it up, pick it up, bully dirty bastard.Chun Mai muttered, his voice was close to crying.Sleeping with my woman in front of me, you, Jin Bao, are too deceitful.Chunmai picked up the hatchet, and he said, I'm going all out, I can't let the whole village poke me in the back.It was at this time that the oil lamp suddenly turned on, and it was Liu'e who lit the oil lamp on the window sill. Liu'e supported the window sill with one hand, and covered her face with the other hand.Chunmai rubbed her eyes, looking at his woman from head to toe.Chun Mai said, bitch, you still have the face to light a lamp.Liu'e put down the hand she was covering, the look on her face that woke up from a dream made Chunmai angry, and her nonchalant eyes made Chunmai go mad with anger.Look at your woman, Chunmai, she takes off and puts on quickly.Jin Leopard aimed his shell gun at Chun Mai, he grinned, and scratched his private parts with one hand a few times, Jin Leopard said, "Chun Mai, if you want to kill someone, why not kill your woman, she really It's a bitch, go, go chop this bitch. brute.Liu'e spat at Jinbao, and then she stretched out her feet to go under the bed to hook her shoes. Liu'e glanced at Chunmai while putting on her shoes, and she said, what are you doing with a knife!Who are you going to kill?Unpromising goods.Cut you, chop you shameless bitch.Chun Mai said. Dare to cut me if you dare not cut the golden leopard?Liu'e sneered, she put on her shoes, went to the table to touch the comb, Liu'e combed her disheveled black hair, turned her head to look at Chunmai, then at Jinbao.cut me?Liu'e suddenly burst into tears. She dropped the comb and stretched out an arm in front of Chunmai, crying, saying, "Bastard, pigs and dogs are not as good as pigs and dogs. If you want to cut me, I will let you cut me.cut.Chun Mai gritted her teeth and said, I will cut you off, you shameless bitch.Chunmai felt blood rushing to the top of her head and let out a roar.Chunmai roared and raised the hatchet to cut at the woman's half-covered arm, where the knife stuck and could not be pulled out. He heard Liu'e's wild screams and the crisp sound of bones breaking, and all the flying blood splashed on Chunmai's arm. face.The cock crows three times, it is morning.The sky in Nineteen Rooms is gray, because the village is covered with the shade of century-old trees, the sky in Nineteen Rooms is always gray in the morning.Shulai carried the bucket out of the house. After walking for a while, he suddenly remembered something, threw the bucket to the side of the road, and ran to his cellar.Shulai ran to the cellar, just pulled the roof of the cellar away, saw Shuizhi standing under the wall of her house looking at him, Shulai pulled the top of the cellar again, he didn't want Shuizhi to know what he was going to do.The book is here, the Golden Leopard and the others are gone?Shuizhi said. Gone, left before dawn.For the book. Where is your father?Shuizhi said, did your father go up the mountain with Jinbao again?I carried my mother to Ta Town.For the book. What are you doing in Shangta Town?Mizueda raised her voice and said. find a doctor.My father cut off my mother's arm. Shuizhi stood under the wall for a while, then ran over in a hurry, she supported Shulai by the shoulder and looked at his expression.Tell me quickly, said Shuizhi, why did your father cut off your mother's arm? Cut off is cut off.Shulai turned around in a bit of boredom, stepped on the mud on the ground, I don't know, you can ask my father.Shu came to think about it and said, this time you should be happy, don't you always scold my mother in front of the villagers?You are not allowed to say that in the future.Shuizhi slapped Shulai on the top of the head, and tugged his trousers for Shulai. Shuizhi sighed and said, it was getting cold early, and she didn't expect to let the child wear a dress, but she herself was dressed in red and green of.The book didn't say anything.Shulai looked up at the big pagoda tree. The leaves of the pagoda tree had all fallen, there were still birds jumping around on the dead branches, and there was still morning dew rustling from the branches.What did the golden leopard hide in your cellar?Shui Zhi asked.No.Nothing was hidden.For the book. Children are not happy to deceive others.I saw it all night.Shuizhi said.No.Golden Leopard won't let it be said, neither will my father and mother.Is it food?If it's food, let me carry some back home, they won't know.No one will know unless you tell them. Shuizhi tried to pull the roof of the cellar away, but it was firmly stepped on by Shulai's feet.A rare serious expression appeared on Shulai's face. He said to Shuizhi that the food had already been taken up the mountain by them, and the rest were guns and bullets. Do you understand?All that was left was guns and bullets.my mother.Shui Zhi stared wide-eyed in panic, and ran to stand under the wall farther from the cellar.Shuizhi read the book, and then looked at the messy footprints beside the cellar, she said, these damned people, they are going to cause disaster for the nineteen rooms.In autumn, Liu'e, the most beautiful woman in the nineteen rooms, became a one-armed woman.The traumatologist in Tazhen had never seen such a stretched arm in two, and naturally they couldn't rejoin them. The traumatologist simply cut off half of Liu'e's arm. He was repairing Liu'e's wound. When applying the family medicine, I suddenly remembered to ask, who cut her like this?Is it a Japanese soldier?Chunmai on the other side hung his head and didn't speak.The trauma doctor asked again, what was used to cut it?Is it a Japanese soldier's saber?Chunmai still frowned and couldn't speak.At this time, Liu'e suddenly woke up from the coma. Liu'e pointed at Chunmai with the other finger, and she said, beast, it was done by a beast.Liu'e asked Shu to move a bamboo stool and put it behind the house, and Liu'e sat on the bamboo stool to bask in the autumn sun.The autumn sun is very thin and thin, and the sunlight passing through the century-old trees is very thin and faint, so Liu'e's face is still as bloodless as a paper doll.The morning wind passed through the woods around the village smoothly, and the wind blew up Liu'e's half-empty sleeves, and Liu'e's sleeves made a small crackling sound, just like the mourning flags in the hands of a undertaker. . Liu'e looked at the father and son who were busy by the cellar, Chunmai and Shulai were covering the cellar with plaster.Chunlai's face and hands were covered with mud marks, and Chunmai looked at Liu'e anxiously while muddying. It's windy, let's go back to the house and rest.Chunmai said to Liu'e. Liu'e didn't speak, but turned her face to look at the well platform, and a group of women were also looking at the well platform.The wind is strong, be careful to blow your body.Chun Mai said to the book again, help your mother go back to the house.Liu'e stood up and spat contemptuously on the ground.She said, I don't talk to animals.Come to the book, help me walk around the village, I want to hear what those tongue-chewing bastards are talking about.When the book came, he put down the plaster bucket in his hand and supported Liu'e to walk forward.When they walked to the well platform, a group of women on the well platform immediately stopped whispering and walked away.Liu'e cursed, gritted her teeth and said, I really want to hear clearly what they are chewing on.When the book came, he supported Liu'e and followed the wet footsteps of the women.Liu'e's body was leaning to the left like a side branch on a tree, and Liu'e's face was as pale as a paper doll. Walking through the short village alley paved with stone slabs, I walked to the gate of the village chief Jinguan's house, and saw Jinguan sitting on the threshold rolling a cigarette.Jin Guan grinned at Liu'e, exhaled a mouthful of acrid and choking smoke rings, revealing a gold tooth and a silver tooth in his mouth.Are you scarred on your arms?Jin Guan said, if you walk with one arm left, don't be so hot.There is only one arm left, whoever chews his tongue will be slapped in the face.Liu'e said.Whose slap is it?Jin Guan said, whoever cuts you off will be slapped in the face, and you should go home and slap Chunmai.Chunmai is my man, he is willing to cut it, and I am willing to suffer it. No one can control our husband and wife.Liu'e stood at the door of the village chief Jin Guan's house, deliberately loudly yelling to the left and right people, whoever wants to chew their tongues behind their backs, I will not spare him.Jin Guan shook his head, he stood up and jumped on the chicken coop to look at the seven rooms behind.Jin Guan saw that Chunmai was covering the cellar with plaster with his head buried.Is the spring wheat not going up the mountain?Didn't Chunmai have sex with the Golden Leopard anymore?Jin Guan asked.How can he still go up the mountain?Let him do the work in the field now, he cut me down, now he has to serve me.What's hidden in your cellar?What did the Golden Leopard hide in your cellar?Nothing, just my family’s winter grain and miscellaneous things, and the Golden Leopard’s things were transported up the mountain that night.You can't fool me.I know everything, why is a good cellar sealed?I am preparing for the winter, and I am afraid that mice will make a nest in it. I know everything.Jin Guan grinned at Liu'e again. He said, I am the head of a village, and I have to deal with Jin Bao, the mayor, and the Japanese.Jin Guan looked at Liu'e's face, he jumped off the chicken coop, and took a hand out of Shulai's crotch, and Shulai dodged nimbly.Jin Guan patted the ashes on his hands, and said to Liu'e with a sullen face, please tell Chunmai to be careful, don't cause trouble for Nineteen Rooms, he is a mouse and rabbit, don't get involved in killing people and stealing goods.After the appointed day to pick up the goods, Jin Bao and his team were still nowhere to be seen.Chunmai became a little restless.Every day, Chunmai couldn't help but ran to the cellar behind the house and stood there for a while, wondering what happened to the Golden Leopard and why he left the stolen goods at his house.Chunmai panicked after thinking about it, although Jinbao didn't allow him to open any packages, even though he didn't dare to open those heavy wooden boxes with seals, but he knew that the wooden boxes contained not grain and salt, but only danger weapons and ammunition.While Chunmai was wandering around the cellar, the widow next door came over with the child on her back. Shuizhi's face was anxious and frightened. She came over and tapped the freshly plastered mud roof on the cellar with the sole of her foot. Shuizhi said, Chunmai You haven't thrown your things away yet?Drag it to the lake in the dark, where no one can see it, so don't cause any trouble to the village.What nonsense are you talking about?What do you want me to throw away? Gun, the gun that Golden Leopard hid here.Shuizhi said, you think I don't know?Is there anything in your family that can be hidden from my eyes?
