Chapter 15 Chapter fifteen

Xiao Ding, a hired worker of Han Laohai's family, was driving a pony cart, and Xiu'er was sitting in the cart. Seeing that autumn was here and the wedding day was approaching, she went to the tailor shop in the town to measure new clothes.On the way back, she was so happy that she didn't close her mouth, humming a Kanto folk song as she walked: Halfway through the journey, Xiao Ding stopped the car, and the two of them got down to move their bodies. Suddenly, they heard a voice of "Wow, wow, wow" from the river ditch below the road.Xiu'er listened carefully, it seemed that the Japanese language was mixed with cries, Xiu'er was curious and looked for the place where the sound came from.

Xiu'er slipped down the slope to the bottom of the ditch, squatted down slowly, parted the grass, and looked into the ditch.I saw five people in Japanese railway uniforms lighting a bonfire, trying to set a child lying on the ground on the fire, and throwing a broken stretcher beside it.The child was full of Japanese, yelling "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa".Xiu'er didn't know where the courage came from, she stood up and shouted loudly: "Killer, murderer!" The men in uniform were startled, dropped the child in a panic, and ran away. The bonfire was still burning, and the child was lying quietly beside the bonfire. He was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, so thin that he had only a handful of bones left, his hair was like thatch, and his breastbone rose and fell with his heavy breathing. Break your chest.The young man looked at Xiu'er, stretched out his arms like dry sticks with difficulty, his eyes were terribly hollow.Xiu'er slowly dodged back, and asked in a trembling voice, "Whose family are you from? Why are you here?" The boy opened his mouth, but said nothing.Xiu'er said, "Speak up." The young man looked at Xiu'er, and slowly lowered his outstretched arms.

Han Laohai ran to Xiu'er's room in a panic and immediately asked, "Whose child is Xiu'er?" Xiu'er said, "I don't know." Han Laohai said, "You silly boy, I don't know who it is. The child at home carries it home? Where is it? Let me see!" Han Laohai jumped when he saw the child, and said, "My god, isn't this a brat? What's going on?" Xiu'er said: "Father, on the way home I saw a few Japanese in railway suits trying to burn him, so I yelled, and those people put him down and ran away. It's back." Han Laohai said: "Stupid! Stupid! A stupid roe deer!"

Xiu'er asked: "What's the matter, Dad?" Han Laohai stomped his feet and said bitterly: "Stupid! You got into trouble!" Xiu'er said: "What did I get into?" Han Laohai said: "So stupid! It's hopeless!" Han Laohai looked at the young man again, lifted his clothes and covered his mouth, and said in a muffled voice, "It's trouble, trouble, those people are Japanese from the South Manchuria Railway, and he is also a little boy." Japan! Look at him, he must have been infected with the plague, most likely it was Huliera, why did the Japanese set fire to him? Afraid of contagion! You stupid roe deer will carry him back!"

Only then did Xiu'er feel scared.Han Laohai waved his hand and called to his buddies, "Xiao Ding, tell some buddies to throw this little Japanese out for me!" Xiu'er said, "Father, he's still panting, look, he's still staring at us! "Han Laohai said: "I can't control that much anymore! Don't let him dye us!" A few guys lifted the Japanese boy up and asked where to take him.Han Laohai said: "Where did you pick it up and throw it away." The young man looked at Xiu'er, and stretched out his arm like dry wood. Zhu Kaishan paced around the room with his hands behind his back.The Japanese boy was lying on his back on the chair, while Mrs. Wen was feeding him water and washing his face, while Xiu'er and Xian'er were helping him.Chuanwen and Chuanwu looked at their father silently.Xiu'er said softly: "Uncle, Auntie, I have caused you trouble, what do you think should I do? He still panted, but Dad threw him away, and he grabbed my trousers tightly, I really can't bear it... ..."

Zhu Kaishan stopped in his tracks and said softly, "Wen Ta Niang, tell me!" Wen Ta Niang said, "Do you want me to tell you?" Then stay!" Everyone in the room was taken aback, looking at Wen Ta Niang together.Wen Ta Niang said: "Whether it is Japanese or Chinese, as long as he is a human being, as long as he is still breathing, we have to keep him. This is the principle of being a human being!" There is an infectious disease..." His mother Wen said: "I will take care of him! If you want to infect him, you must infect me first!" After passing on the text, she raised her head and said, "That's it!"

Zhu Kaishan said: "Have you heard it all? How well your mother said it! Birds and beasts lost one and searched for it three times, and said goodbye four times, not to mention that we are all human beings. Chuanwu, I want to ask you, you What do you think?" Chuan Wu said: "Mother and Dad are right." Zhu Kaishan said: "It's just a brain!" Chuan Wu stared at Dad blankly, not understanding what he meant.Zhu Kaishan said: "I mean you are blessed, kid. Look at Xiu'er, she has such a kind heart. Why do you worry about having such a daughter-in-law for the rest of your life?" Chuanwu stood there in a daze.

Mrs. Wen said: "Don't be dazed, Chuanwen, hurry up and clean up the spare room. Xian'er, hurry up and heat up the kang. Chuanwu, you go and invite your husband now..." The family got busy.The young man stared at all this silently. Holding a bowl of steaming Chinese herbal soup, Xiu'er sat down in front of the boy lying on the kang and fed him the medicine.The boy kept his mouth shut and looked at the medicinal soup vigilantly, no matter how Xiuer fed him, he would not open his mouth.Xiu'er said, "Auntie, why doesn't he open his mouth?" His mother Wen came over and said, "Let me try." But what his mother Wen said, the boy still didn't open his mouth.Wen Ta Niang said: "Ah, I see, this little Japan is pretty good!"Now the boy opened his mouth and drank.Mrs. Wen smiled and said, "Son, I can't poison you to death. Tell me about you Japanese, why are you so weird? Let me ask you, where are your parents? They don't want you anymore? It's okay, child, they don't want you I want you, when you are cured I will send you home to find your parents! What is your name?" The boy closed his eyes again.

Mrs. Wen shook her head and shouted, "Chuanwen, bring in the wooden bath tub, is the fresh water hot? You give him a bath. Didn't the husband just say that he needs to take a bath in hot water every day?" Take a bath, remove the heat, and remove the bacteria." Wen Ta Niang said and walked out of the room.Chuanwen came in dragging the big wooden basin, covered his nose with a piece of cloth, and put the wooden basin under the kang.Xiu'er poured boiling water into the basin.Chuanwen said: "Xiu'er, I still have work, just wipe his face." After saying that, he turned around and ran.Xiu'er said: "Brother, who will wash him after you leave?" Chuanwen waved his hands without looking back and said, "Just throw him into the bathtub and scald him!" Xiu'er looked at the boy helplessly. , Then tried the water, picked up the boy and put him in the bathtub.

Chuanwen was packing farm tools in a leather jacket.He was shivering with cold, and sneezed one after another, each louder than the other.Xiuer came and said, "Brother, what's the matter with you?" Chuanwen said, "It's bad, it's probably infected by Japanese children. Why are you here?" Xiuer said, "I'm worried about him, come and see. Chuanwen said: "Go and have a look, be careful!" Xiu'er entered the hut.Chuanwu came out of the house and said: "Brother, Dad told you to eat in the house." Chuanwen said: "Don't eat, don't eat, I'm infected, I have typhoid fever..."

Just as he was talking, Zhu Kaishan came out and asked, "Why haven't you been very prosperous these two days? Haven't you eaten any food?" Chuanwen said, "Well, it's not very pleasant." Zhu Kaishan looked at Chuanwen and said, "Why don't you even Are you wearing the fur jacket? What kind of tricks are you playing?" Chuanwen covered his mouth and kept sneezing and said, "Father, mother, I told you a bad letter. I made that child infected, and his whole body I was shivering, my upper teeth were so cold at night, I was afraid that it would not work, so if you don’t believe me, just ask that Wen..." Wen Ta Niang asked, "Is it burning?" Chuanwen said: "Burn! It's burning so badly! It's burning so hot that your scalp is numb and steaming. If you put a pot of water on top of your head, you can boil it." Wen Ta Niang said: "This is terrible, hurry up and see Mr.!" Chuan Wen said: "I don't care, I'm afraid I will infect you, what do you say that our whole family is infected by this child? What do you think we are trying to do? We can't put the whole family's life on the line for him. This Xiu'er is such a troublemaker!" Wen Ta Niang looked at Zhu Kaishan. Zhu Kaishan said: "Chuanwen, go back to the house and lie down first, don't go to the ground today. I will pull out two cupping pots for you in a while to remove the poison and fire!" Chuanwen went.Wen Ta Niang said: "You said the boss is really sick?" Zhu Kaishan nodded and said: "I'm sick, not seriously ill!" His mother Wen, who was eating, was absent-minded, and listened with her ears open: "Why hasn't Xian'er come back yet? Is the child okay? Chuanwu, go and have a look." Chuanwen said, "Isn't he dead?" Wen Ta Niang said: "Shut up your stinky mouth! Take off your leather jacket!" Chuanwen coughed and said, "I'm cold all over, and I've been infected by him, and it's getting worse and worse. We can't eat at the same table anymore, let me set up a small stove, I can't hurt the whole family." Xian'er hurriedly ran into the house and said, "Mother, why is there no child in the hut?" Chuanwen said a little unnaturally: "Did that kid run away by himself? These Japanese are so worthless, you should say something before you leave! In any case, our family saved him!" His wife Wen Wept and muttered, "Poor child, where did he go? No way! I have to look for it!" Chuanwen hurriedly said, "Mother, where can I find this fool?" He asked Chuanwu in a serious manner: "Chuanwu, let me ask you, where did you send him?" Just as Chuan Wu wanted to argue, Zhu Kaishan made a gesture to stop him, and then said to Chuan Wen with a smile: "Boss, seeing how vigorously you are shouting now, is your illness better?" He wanted to pretend to sneeze again, but he didn't, so he said anxiously, "Oh, Dad, I feel better." Zhu Kaishan continued to ask, "Are you not cold?" Chuanwen shivered subconsciously and said: "It's still a bit cold, this Japanese child is very poisonous!" Zhu Kaishan said: "Go! Go to your house, I will clean up for you!" Chuanwen said: "No need, dad." Zhu Kaishan said: " Use! You are seriously ill, your intestines will turn green if you don’t clean up!” Chuanwen lay shirtless on the kang.Zhu Kaishan rode on him, stretched out his big fist and grabbed his neck fiercely.When he pulled it, Chuanwen let out a scream.Zhu Kaishan said: "Is it stronger?" Chuanwen said: "Okay, Dad, I feel lighter all over." Zhu Kaishan said: "I don't think it's okay, look, it's all purple, and the evil fire all over your body It hasn't come out yet!" Chuanwen said: "That's right, this guy, this Japanese disease is really serious, hey..." Zhu Kaishan grabbed it fiercely.Chuanwen screamed like a pig: "Father, are you going to grab me to death?" Zhu Kaishan didn't speak, turned Chuanwen over again, and grabbed me again.Chuanwen said: "Father, what are you doing? You want my life!" Zhu Kaishan said: "I want your life! I told you to wear a leather jacket all day to complain about the cold, and I told you to beat me every day after eating. Sneezing, I tell you that you are infected with Japanese diseases all the time! Where did you get the disease? You are not sick at all, find a can to pull it out! I have already seen that you are faking the disease, your tongue is bright red, redder than a dog's tongue , Where did the disease come from? You just want to drive him away. Boss, this child will die as soon as he leaves our house, and your conscience has been carried away by the dog?" Chuanwen said: "Father, I also did it for the good of our family. Ah!" Zhu Kaishan said: "Tell me, where did you hide that child?" Chuanwen said: "Father, I didn't do it, I don't have the guts!" Zhu Kaishan said: "You are so brave! ! Give me a tough mouth! Well, let you taste my old fist!" Zhu Kaishan swung his big fist.Chuanwen screamed... Na Wen fidgeted here and said: "Mom, I heard something wrong, I'll go and see." His mother Wen said: "You dare not go, your father treats people and does not allow others to watch." Chuanwu said: "Brother What's wrong with this? Why are you screaming like a slaughtered pig?" Wen Ta Niang said: "Your father used a horseshoe needle to amplify his blood, look at the blood, the blood is all black!" , Chuanwen walked in dejectedly, with a bruised nose and a swollen face.Nawen was so anxious that he wanted to cry: "What's wrong with you? Who called you to beat me?" Chuanwen said: "Who dares to beat us? This is my father who treated me and showed all the poison in his body." Chuanwu said: "Brother, are you cured?" Chuanwen said: "Come with me, I know where he is." Everyone was taken aback. Chuanwen led the whole family to the cellar in the courtyard, Zhu Kaishan lifted the cover of the cellar, and saw the boy curled up there like a wolf, looking at the crowd in horror, holding two stones in his hand... … Mrs. Wen and Xiu'er kept clapping their hands at the boy, and shouted, "Ichiro, put down the stick, come, walk this way, walk slowly, don't be afraid..." Ichiro stood in the sun, leaning on the stick, Squinting to look at the sun, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth for the first time.Wen Ta Niang and Xiu Er kept yelling, "Take two steps, let's go!" Ichiro slowly threw the stick aside, spread his hands, and staggered like a child to rush at Wen Ta Niang and Xiu Er. Come. Mrs. Wen and Xiu'er were happy when they heard a commotion outside and wondered that dozens of people had already entered the courtyard.Ichiro was so frightened that he hid in Wen Ta Niang's arms.Wen Ta Niang put her arms around Yilang, stood up, and said with a smile, "Everyone, neighbors, what day is it today? Why are all the men from the village here? What's the matter? Let's sit down and talk slowly if we have anything to do. If you don’t feel wronged enough, just meditate on the spot, why are you standing? Zhu Kaishan is not here, I’m in charge, let’s talk about it!” Farmer Lao Kang asked: “You have the final say?” Mrs. Wen said: “Brother Kang, I told you Calculate!" Lao Kang said: "Well, you have seen it too. Today all the men in the village are here. You must have a general idea of ​​what they are here for. You have taken in a Japanese child with an infectious disease, right?" Mrs. Wen Said: "It's true, this child is in my arms!" Xiu'er said: "What do you want to do?" Lao Kang said: "Although you came from the east of the Guandong, Brother Zhu Kaishan is kind and righteous, and your family also You know, we Northeast people don’t cheat, we get along pretty well together, don’t we?” Wen Ta Niang clasped her fists and said, “Yes! Thank you all for that!” Lao Kang said, “However, today’s matter, we Let’s not talk about sympathy. In a word, this Japanese child has an infectious disease. Your family is not afraid of infection, but people in our village are afraid of infection! Let’s not hurt our peace, you hand over this child, and we will deal with it. Then we will live in peace, do you think this is good?" Wen Ta Niang: "What you said is also reasonable." All the farmers said: "It is reasonable to hand over the children!" Wen Ta Niang raised her hand and said: "I haven't finished my words yet. The child has an infectious disease, but I tell everyone that the child's illness is cured now. You see, our whole family is fine. If you don't believe me, ask Mr. , He also said that the child’s illness was cured. If this is the case, the child cannot be handed over, and cannot be manipulated by you. What’s the matter? Did you also set the child on fire like the Japanese did?” Lao Kang said: "Ms. Wen, we have also inquired. This disease is good or bad, bad or good. It is like a plague chicken. It may not destroy the whole village in one day. This child does not deal with it for a day. The people in the whole village will have no peace for a day. Otherwise, how can the Japanese set fire to him? Besides, the Japanese are going to burn their own seeds. Why do we Chinese keep him? Come on, hand over the child. Give it to us!" As he spoke, the man had arrived in front of Wen Ta Niang.Ichiro trembled with fear.Mrs. Wen picked up the shiny steel fork beside her, shouted and said, "Get out of the way! Be careful to spray blood on yourself! Let me just say one thing, today my life and this child's life are tied together To take his life is to take my life! Didn’t say anything! I give you this steel fork and this jar of warm blood! Don’t believe me? Whoever dares to take another step, I will make him fall silent! I will ask you again In a word, if your child is like this now, do you have the heart to set him on fire? Say, do you have the heart? No matter if he is Japanese or Chinese, he is still a child, and he is destined! Let me say one more thing, Japanese No, I want it! If you dare to hurt even a hair on him, our whole family lives here! Get out of here!" Everyone stared blankly at Wen Ta Niang. Chuanwu went home panting.Zhu Kaishan asked: "How is the situation? Where are his parents?" Chuanwu said: "Don't mention it." Zhu Kaishan said: "What do you mean?" Chuanwu said: "Father, I found Nan The railway staff dormitory is full. Just after I entered the street, a group of Japanese came up and shouted. They refused to let me into the courtyard. After returning to the country, they thought that Ichiro had been burned to death." Chuanwen said: "Did you see it? These are the Japanese, they are ruthless!" Zhu Kaishan said: "Damn, what do you think about this?" Wen Ta Mother said: "Boil the pot of wine and add two good dishes!" Everyone looked at Wen Ta Niang in a daze. Ichiro lay alone at the window looking at the dark field, his big eyes filled with tears.Chuanwu walked in and said softly, "Ichiro, my mother told you to come over." Ichiro looked at Chuanwu in shock, didn't speak, followed him into the main room with his head down, and was stunned for a moment—— There was a table of food and wine, and the Zhu family looked at him with friendly smiles on their faces.Wen Ta Niang greeted and said, "Ichiro, go to the kang to eat and drink!"Wen Ta Niang said: "Eat, Ichiro, from today on, you and the second brother will sleep together, this is your home, and you are my old man!" There are still three days left before Chuanwu and Xiuer's agreed wedding date.Zhu's family tidied up their new house, bought food and drinks, and everyone was busy running around, but Chuanwu was nowhere to be seen.Zhu Kaishan was angry that his second child was careless, and his in-law Han Laohai came to the door. Han Laohai said: "The day after tomorrow will be a good day, and everything is ready on my side. How is your side? It's almost there?" Zhu Kaishan said: "It's almost there. The battles are all over, and the banquets are all ready. , The posts are all down, is there anything else?" Han Laohai said: "The new house is cleaned up?" Wen Ta Niang said: "It's almost cleaned up. Do you want to take you to have a look?" Han Laohai said: "No, no, I'm still worried about you two?" In the east room, Chuanwen was washing his face, and that Wen handed the soap to the man and said, "Sir, here is your soap, wash your neck well." Chuanwen said, "Wen'er, where did you get this thing? Yes." The text said: "I bought it." The text said: "Where did you get the money?" The text said: "My mother-in-law gave it to me." I didn’t learn it, but I learned quickly by picking money.” Na Wen said: “I don’t want it, my mother-in-law said there are some fresh ones, so I accepted it. Hey, where do you think the second brother can go?” Chuanwen said: "Who knows!" Nawen said: "Don't worry, he will come back." Chuanwen asked: "How do you know?" Nawen said: "You see, the whole family is so anxious to go to the house. Who is not in a hurry?" The text said: "Who?" The text said: "Xian'er!" The text said: "But it is true." The text said: "She must know it." The text said: "Old man Where did Er Neng go?" The text said: "It's a trap in the forest to hunt." Chuanwen asked: "How do you know?" The text said: "Didn't you see what's missing at home? Where did the rope go?" Chuanwen said, "Hey! That's right. Hey, let me tell you, you are lucky to be a woman. If you were a man, you should go to the Yamen to be a head catcher. Why didn't you tell Dad earlier? ?” The text said: “I’m just guessing. If I’m sure, there won’t be rewards. If I’m not sure, why bother?” Chuanwen said: “Wen’er, you have too many eyes. You won’t sell me out?” Na Wen giggled and said, “That depends on how well you treat me.” Here, Han Laohai said: "In-laws, I am just such a daughter. Xiu'er is my baby bump. I must send it well. I discussed it with his mother, and I will send two horses to accompany my daughter. I won't live! You can Listen clearly, it’s a purebred Mongolian horse, you’ve been jealous for a long time!” Zhu Kaishan smiled: “Are you willing?” Han Laohai said: “Why not? I’m willing to do anything for my daughter!” Zhu Kaishan said: “ All right, I don't want you for nothing, all the yellow smoke in my field belongs to you." Han Laohai smiled and said, "You still take the part. Hey, you hired a theater troupe when you passed the text to do the work, but you didn't invite it this time? " Zhu Kaishan said: "Forget it, I didn't invite you." Han Laohai said: "I knew you didn't invite it! I already invited you for the first month. It's the Wang family troupe who just came back from the customs. It's good, and it's a hundred times better than what you invited last time. I'll pay for it. "While talking, the room was full of eyes and said, "Huh? Where is my son-in-law? Why hasn't he shown up?" Wen Ta Niang hurriedly interjected: "Ah, I went to the town to take a bath, and I asked him to clean up. Send someone to Call him back?" Han Laohai said: "No, no. Is there a bathhouse in the town?" Zhu Kaishan said: "Yes." Han Laohai said: "Oh. Let me talk about my in-laws. I know that my son-in-law has a habit of running around. You have to watch him closely on the day of work, and don't let him drink too much. Drinking will cause trouble. I'm just such a precious girl. I want to hug my grandson early!" Wen Ta Niang said: "I am also in a hurry to hug my grandson." Han Laohai said a little sadly: "Brother Zhu, I am very happy that my daughter is married, but I feel very uncomfortable when I think about it. You have worked so hard for this family business all your life, and when you kick your legs, won’t this family business all belong to your old Zhu’s family? Your elder brother Zhu will become the big boss of Yuanbao Town, and you have made a lot of money from this business. Come on!" Zhu Kaishan said with a smile: "Lao Hai, why are you talking about the marriage of your children? This is not a business. Don't you feel that you have lost money? Well, in two years I will let them both Kouzi goes to your house and passes on martial arts to you as a son-in-law for the elderly, okay?" Han Laohai said: "That's good, but his surname is not Han!" Zhu Kaishan said: "It's just that his surname is Han, and you kick your legs I didn’t know anything when I was there!” The two laughed loudly.Han Laohai said: "Okay, let's stop here today. In a word, the two of us will work together to get things done, and it will be done with great vigor and glory. Let the people of Yuanbao Town see. !" Zhu Kaishan sent Han Laohai away, his smiling face fell down, and he scolded: "Chuanwu, this beast, puts me eye drops everywhere. Look, I will take care of this turtle sooner or later!" Wen Ta Niang said: "Okay, stop scolding. Those who run away can't hear it, and those who don't run away will be scolded. If you get angry, send it to him. It's useless to send it to these people." As soon as Wen Ta Niang finished speaking, Chuan Wu rode into the yard on a horse, and immediately hung some prey, his face was dusty and covered with a few scars.Everyone in the family ran out of the house.Chuanwen said: "Chuanwu, you are back! Our parents are going crazy!" Zhu Kaishan said with a cold face, "Tell me, where have you been these days?" Chuanwu said with a smile: "Dad! , Aren’t you going to do business the day after tomorrow? I see that you have a lot of tables to set up, and you’re afraid that the banquet will be too shabby, so you went to the woods to hunt some game, and you also want to add some festiveness to the banquet.” Only then did Zhu Kaishan smile and said: "Then you should say hello, don't worry everyone." Wen Ta Niang hugged Chuanwu and said: "Son, don't run away anymore, run away again! I can't live anymore..." Chuanwu said with a smile: "Don't run away, don't run away, there is no home anywhere, I want to live a good life!" Xian'er walked over and said: "Second brother, the new house It's all set up, why don't you go and have a look?" Chuan Wu said, "Look, the day after tomorrow I will sleep with my new wife in my arms, how can I not see it?" After that, he followed Xian'er to see the new house.Wen Ta Niang and Zhu Kaishan looked at each other, and a stone fell from their hearts. Chuanwu entered the new house, looked here, touched there, and kept raising opinions: "Generally it's okay, but it's not popular enough. Huh? Why didn't you put up window grilles? The big red happy letter is too small..." Fresh The son silently followed behind him.Chuanwu turned around suddenly and looked directly at Xian'er, a ball of flames jumped in his eyes, making Xian'er dare not look at him.Chuanwu suddenly locked the door behind his back, changed his expression and said, "What did you call me in the courtyard just now?" Xian'er just remained silent. Chuanwu said in a muffled voice: "From now on, don't call me my second brother, but Chuanwu!" Xian'er turned her back and sat down on the kang.Chuanwu suddenly reached out to pick her up and put her down on the kang.Xian'er struggled, and said in a low voice, "Chuanwu, don't act foolish!" Chuanwu stopped talking, and roughly tore off Xian'er's clothes.With tears in her eyes, Xian'er hugged Chuanwu tightly, and pinched him fiercely: "Chuanwu, spend a good time with Xiu'er tomorrow, Xiu'er is a good girl." The new quilt on the kang slowly fell down, The colorful flowers were buried fresh. Green gauze tents were erected in the fields.The Zhu family's wedding party has already set off, and the sedan chair and trumpet maker is scurrying across the fields.Chuan Wu rides on a horse, wearing red silk on his chest, very mighty and handsome.Xian'er stood under the big tree at the entrance of the village, looking sadly at the welcoming team going away. Xiu'er put on makeup happily.The horse matchmaker opened her face to Xiu'er, and said in her mouth: "Xiu'er is so handsome in such a dress, look at the eyebrows, they are pitch-black, extremely thin, old and long, and they are almost reaching the temples, so rare! This little face is so cute. Come out, pink and delicate, you think Chuanwu can last until dark after watching it?" Xiu'er's mother planted velvet flowers for her daughter and said: "Look at your aunt Ma's eloquence. Xiu'er, remember what mother told you, parents-in-law should be filial, uncles and uncles should not be slow, let it go, don't sleep too early in the morning." , get up early to cook, and wink when you eat, to see who is empty and fill up quickly, if he puts his chopsticks across the mouth of the bowl, he won’t eat, so don’t force him to fill up.” Xiu’er said: "Mother! People from Shandong have different rules from our local people." Xiuer's mother said, "Okay, let's go in and ask my mother-in-law for advice, ask the rules clearly, and don't do anything rude." Xiu'er said: " Mother, you have repeated these words a hundred times." The ceremony of seeing off relatives has a strong northeast style.The Wang family troupe invited by Han Laohai is Wang Laoyong's troupe.Wang Laoyong directed the stilt-twisting yangko, with heavy makeup such as big machines, big wax flowers, and little misty, and played in the courtyard in costumes, each showing off their unique skills, which was very lively.Han Laohai stood at the door and watched happily. The welcoming team came to the door, Chuan Wu jumped off the horse, Xiu'er walked out of the house with her head covered, and the matchmaker Ma helped her to the gate of the courtyard.Xiu'er got into the sedan chair, and the sedan chair got up with the sound of horns, and walked tremblingly towards Zhu's house. When the new daughter-in-law entered Zhu's house, she was naturally full of joy, with firecrackers going off and gongs and drums blaring. Xian'er was a little lost, and when she turned her head, she suddenly saw her master and brother from the Wang family troupe. She was shocked, and hurried to Wang Laoyong, shouting excitedly: "Master!" All the brothers came together and surrounded Xian'er. Xian'er cried and said: "Master, I have been looking for you so hard! I have been looking for you since I came out of the old one-armed grandfather, but I have never found you!" Wang Laoyong held Xian'er's hand tightly and said: "Xiao Qiuyan, why are you here?" Big Machine said, "Junior Sister, have you found your son-in-law?" Xian'er nodded, then shook her head.Big Wax Flower said: "Junior Sister, what's the matter? Tell me!" Xian'er cried and said: "It's a long story, this is not a place to talk, I will tell you slowly when I have time, go into the house, don't talk to me." Hang here." Four tables of banquets were placed in the courtyard, full of guests, and the wedding feast reached its climax.At the main table, many guests made a toast to Han Laohai and his wife.Xia Yuanzhang toasted Zhu Kaishan and his wife and said, "Congratulations, congratulations!" Wen Ta Niang said happily, "Congratulations, congratulations! Mr. Xia, the work of the second child is over, and it's time for the third child. What do you think?" Xia Yuanzhang said with a smile: "I think we don't care what to do with the two of them. These two children, especially the one in our family, have big ideas!" Handsome, he said with a smile, looking very happy: "Everyone, today is my big day, you must drink well! Dad, you can drink more with uncle and uncle." Zhu Kaishan said happily: " Drink more, definitely drink more." The troupe sang a big show in the courtyard, and the big machine and the big wax flower sang "Pig Bajie Arching the Ground". The running water feast lasted until night before the guests dispersed.Chuanwu was already very drunk, he staggered and said to his parents while walking, "Father, mother, you go to sleep, I will go to sleep too." Xian'er watched Chuanwu silently in the shadows.The moment Chuanwu pushed open the door of the new house, Chuanwu suddenly stopped, turned his head in the direction of Xian'er, looked drunk, smiled strangely, waved his hands unclearly, and pushed the door into the house . Xiu'er in the room blushed and said, "Brother Chuanwu, you've been tired all day, go to sleep." Chuanwu said, "It's still early, didn't you hear any movement outside the window? Maybe San'er is still outside listening to the wall. Well. On the night when my elder brother got married, my third son and I listened to the corners. We listened to the shameless words they said under the quilt. I’m still hiding.” Xiu’er said, “Then why don’t we stay up? Just watch over like this?” Chuanwu said, “Cough! What are you doing here? Let’s tell a story!” Xiu’er said, “Then You tell me a story." Chuanwu said: "Okay. Tell you a story about a tiger with two tails?" Xiu'er said: "A tiger has two tails? What's the matter? Tell me, tell me quickly!" I worked in the mountain farm in 2010, and our head is called Old One Arm. Old One Arm, of course, has an arm. Do you know where his arm is? " Xiu'er said: "I don't know." Chuan Wu He told the story vividly and said: "Listen to me. That year, the old one-armed man met a tiger in the old forest, a colorful tiger. The tiger looked like it hadn't eaten for many days, and its belly was flat. The tiger saw it. The old one-armed man laughed." Xiu'er said, "I don't believe that a tiger can still laugh?" Chuan Wu even said with gestures: "The tiger is laughing in his heart, but he didn't laugh out loud. The old one-armed man looked at it. , Broken, why did I meet such an unlucky Xuaner, with a flat stomach, who looked like he was out to eat out! The tiger squinted at the old one-armed man, and in his heart, this old dry stick, a little thinner, a little old, take it He treats it as a snack and be careful of stuffing his teeth. The old one-armed man thinks, he can’t run, the tiger will know that I’m afraid when he runs, he will catch up and bite my head and it’ll be gone, let’s act first, show off my real kung fu, and play A set of one-armed. The tiger wondered there: Could this old man be dumb? Give me sign language? I don’t understand either! He shook his head. The old one-armed man misunderstood, and you are not convinced, right? Look at this. Played a set of praying mantis boxing. The tiger still shook his head, and said in his heart, don’t talk nonsense with me, let’s do it, and rushed over with a cry. The old one-armed man was anxious, why didn’t you follow the routine? Which teacher taught me The tiger opened its bloody mouth and came to bite the old one-armed man. The old one-armed man was also impatient, so he thrust his arm into the tiger's throat. The tiger choked and rolled his eyes, thinking, what kind of tricks are you doing? But in the end the old one-armed arm was bitten off. The old one-armed man looked at it and said, "Damn it, we can't do a loss-making business, and we can't make money! Enduring the pain, I stabbed the wooden stick in the tiger's asshole. The tiger felt that the asshole The fire is burning inside, I have never tasted this feeling, and I can't roar out, so Sa Huaner ran away." Xiu'er giggled and said, "This is a big loss for the tiger." Chuanwu said, "It's nothing serious. The tiger couldn't find Mr. to see a doctor, so he wandered around in the old forest enduring the pain. He touched about half of the old forest. About a month later, the old one-armed man saw the tiger die in the forest. Looking at the old one-armed man from afar, he was surprised. Why does this tiger have two tails? Looking closer, haha, one is a real tail and the other is a real tail. His wooden stick is still stuck in the tiger's asshole!" Hearing this, Xiu'er laughed out loud, shaking her head back and forth. Zhu Kaishan and Wen Ta Niang smiled gratifiedly when they heard the laughter coming from the new house.Zhu Kaishan said: "This child, I haven't seen him so happy for many years. A wife is tied to him, and his wild nature is slowly reined in." You were tied up by your wife when you were young, but if you want to make trouble with the Boxers, I tied you up?" The more Chuanwu talked, the more energetic she became, while Xiu'er was excited and exhausted, and gradually closed her eyes, snuggled into Chuanwu's arms and fell asleep.Only then did Chuanwu shut his mouth, carefully put Xiu'er on the bed, tiptoely opened the closet beside the bed, rummaged through a few clothes, wrapped them in a bundle, and quietly left the room.The moon is near the climax, and the sky is full of stars.Chuanwu stared blankly at the sky. After a while, he came back to his senses, heard the silence in the left and right rooms, and entered Xian'er's room in a flash. Xian'er seemed to be waiting for him to come, and sat silently on the kang, but in fact, she never closed her eyes that night! Chuanwu smiled and said, "I knew you were up." Xian'er said flatly, "I knew you would come." Chuanwu said softly, "Sister, I have prepared a horse, hurry up and go with me." ！”鲜儿问：“上哪去呀？”传武说：“关东山天高地远，有的是地方，咱俩放排去，快活去，天管不着地管不着，那才是咱们该过的日子！”鲜儿说：“啊？原来你是诓了爹，你一走这个家怎么办？秀儿怎么办哪？”传武说：“顾不了那么多了，这都是叫爹逼的！快走吧！”鲜儿心里头纷乱，态度却坚决，说：“不，我不走，走了对不起爹娘对我的一片心！”传武说：“你不走也能窝囊死！事情到了这个份上了，你不走也得走！”不由分说，拖着鲜儿出了屋。鲜儿还要再说，传武使出了浑劲：“你喊吧，你这时候把他们喊醒更说不清。” 传武从马厩里牵出平日里骑惯了的红马，紧紧攥着鲜儿的手，就此出了院。一出村口上了大路，他立即纵马在桦树林边的原野里飞奔起来。传武快活地叫着说：“啊！可是自由了，谁也别想再管我了！”鲜儿疲惫地倚在传武的怀里，轻声地说：“传武，你要把我带到哪儿去啊？咱们这一走爹娘非得急疯了不可！”传武勒住马，转身朝着家的方向，大声地快活地喊着说：“爹、娘、秀儿，传武对不起你们啦！鲜儿跟我在一起，你们就放心吧！”
