Chapter 43 beauty is a hope

...It was a big coil of rope, a very long and thick rope, which was easy to twist and very strong.She checked every knot in that rope, and it was a good rope.She had already put on the shoulder pads, and hung one end of the rope on her shoulders, and the other end on the old locust tree in the village.She thought, she had to tie the land more firmly and hang a dead button, otherwise, she would not be able to pull it. This is a land of 1.98 square kilometers!Then, she pulled the land and pushed forward.However, the land is too dead.The rope was too new, it was a new rope, and the rope quickly worn through the shoulder pads and got caught in the flesh. She felt a pain in her shoulder, it was not a normal pain, it penetrated into the bone marrow!She felt that her shoulders were wet, and there was a hot flow on her shoulders. She knew it was blood... But she couldn't care about these anymore. She leaned forward desperately, struggling, and almost used all her strength Slowly, she felt the ground move, and finally the ground moved. The ground was cracking slowly and bit by bit, and she felt the movement!At this time, Lao De suddenly ran over, and Lao De stopped her, and said in a panic: "Are you going to the city?" She said, "Hey." City, Xincheng?" She nodded seriously, and said again: "Hey." Lao De said: "You said, everyone can register?" She said: "I said so." At this time, Lao De looked at her shoulder, Lao De saw the blood on her shoulder, Lao De said: "Xiang, your shoulder is red." She said: "Is there blood?" But Lao De said evasively "It's a little red, but it's not always red." Just as she continued to walk forward with the rope on her shoulders, Lao De said, "Xiang, wait, you have to wait. I still have a pigsty, you have to Bring the pigsty." She asked: "Uncle De, is it the pigsty?" He said, "The pigsty." She thought for a while and said, "Then bring it on." But after a while, Old De He ran up in a panic and said, "Niece, wait, you have to wait." She said, "What's the matter?" Lao De said shyly, "Niece, look, there is another As for the chicken coop, you can take it with you.” At this time, she was a little reluctant and said, “Uncle De, let’s forget about the chicken coop.” Lao De repeatedly bowed and said, “My niece, this chicken coop But your aunt's life! You should take it? Please." She sighed, and at this moment, she could only sigh.Lao De is the most honest person in the village, and it is difficult to refuse an honest person's request.She said: "Then hurry up." However, before she could say a word, the crowd gathered around her, and there was a sound of knocking on the bottom of the pot!People say that since Lao De's family can add a pigsty and a chicken coop!So why can't they piggyback on something? !Someone else yelled: "I still have a louse here! You said that as long as it is sex (read 'show'), you can register. Lice is also a life, I have to take it..." So, in a crowd Amid the clamor, people put a lot of things that shouldn't be put...

However, at this moment, she woke up suddenly, and it was the knock on the door that woke her up.After waking up, she realized that she had a dream.In the dream, she was sweating profusely! It was still dark, and the night was still dark.Outside the door, she heard someone whispering.It was Jiahe, and she knew it was Feng Jiahe.Jiahe still said the same sentence: "Let Xianggu rest, she is tired." For countless nights, he has been watching for her outside, sometimes lying in the straw nest... Regardless of her No matter what you say, no matter how much you persuade him, he will not leave.With him there, there will be fewer people knocking on the door later.

Everyone in this family and the village called him a "nymphomaniac" and said he was suffering from "hysteria".But only she knew that he was just too melancholy and paranoid.Maybe, he felt that their family owed her... For a period of time, he always followed her secretly, sometimes, he seemed flustered and like a thief.At that time, she felt that if he didn't help him, he would really fall ill, and maybe he would be ruined.One night, she called him to the smoking kang room, and she still called him the fourth child according to the habit. She said, "fourth brother, you can't do this anymore. You can go to school to teach." He hooked his head and said hesitantly : "Sister-in-law, our family is sorry for you..." She said: "Don't say that again, don't say it again." He sighed and said: "There is a piece of my heart that hurts." She said: "This It has nothing to do with you, go teach. Wait until the future, and start a family.” He said, “What about you?” She smiled and said, “I’m fine.” He suddenly said, “There are many thorns in life.” She said: "When the heart is hardened, the thorn will soften." He said: "Good man, why do you always fall into the thorn nest?" She said: "The sun also has thorns, are you afraid of the sun?" He suddenly changed his words , said: "Do you hate him? You should hate him." She said decisively: "Don't talk about him, don't talk about him." He said: "...Why didn't you stop them when they left? If you Once stopped, they can't go." She said: "Everyone has his own way. Those who should go, those who want to go, will go sooner or later. Why should I stop?" He said: "You are the village head, you If they don’t get their stamps stamped, they won’t be able to leave.” She said, “Jiahe.” At this moment, she started calling him Jiahe, “You’ve misunderstood me.” After a while of silence, he cried, He sobbed and said: "Sister-in-law, let me call you sister-in-law again. I have no mother since I was a child, so I just want you...I have no other requirements, and I don't dare to think too much...I just want to see you every day ...is that okay?" After a moment of silence in the room, she said, "Jiahe, don't think about it. If you don't want to leave, just write your book. What's in the past, let it go."

After that, he began to keep vigil for her.Squatting there night after night... She persuaded him many times, saying: "Jiahe, go back." He said: "I didn't guard you, I guarded the moonlight." What else could she say? However, there are still troubles.Even her father Liu Guodou thought she was being stimulated.That's right, since she became the village head, she has never done anything for her family, nor has she given any "eye medicine" to the Feng family.She let go of all the bastards of the Feng family... Then, what's the use of her being the village chief?In this regard, Liu Guodou, the former party secretary, was very disappointed.He thought, instead of making you like this, it's better to be me!So, in some days, her father, Liu Guodou, the former secretary of the Party Committee, had made some temptations among some elders, trying to replace her... But when he squatted in the shade and said these words, he found that people It turned out to be very indifferent, and no one took his words seriously anymore.

Later, Liu Guodou still wanted to marry off his daughter as soon as possible.He felt that his daughter was ill, but this illness is usually invisible, so he was anxious to "send" her out.In order to find a husband's family for his daughter, as well as to be decent, his father Liu Guodou entrusted many people.In order to win a sigh of relief, he set very strict conditions: soldiers or soldiers who have changed jobs must be cadres above the battalion rank and can bring their families.All of the relatives were mobilized for a while, and a dozen soldiers or cadres who had been transferred came from all over the country to see her... They all heard that there was a flower in Shangliang, and they came to see the "flower".Anyone who saw her was stunned at first, and then made a wish, saying that they could bring their families, settle in a registered permanent residence, find a job, and... But her answer was only one sentence, she said: "I am planting a kind of flower. Trying to grow a flower." What does that mean?It is reasonable to say that everyone is stunned.

Only she knows, it's almost a riddle. She had also hoped that someone would crack it.But, no... They came in a hurry and left in a hurry.One by one, I regret to say that she is not mentally normal! Only one person is close to her thinking, and only close.That is home and.The language teacher of this rural elementary school often wanders around in front of her door when the moon rises, with a hesitant and timid expression.He walked from one corner of the courtyard to the other, then stopped and looked at the Yankang room from a distance.When she was going out, he would pluck up his courage, come up suddenly, stop her, and ask some inexplicable questions.He still called her "sister-in-law" when no outsiders were present.He said evilly: "Sister-in-law, look at the moon, it's bent."

She smiled and said without exposing him, "I saw it." Jiahe said in a long-winded manner: "There are many things that are bent. The trees, the crops, the water, when the wind blows, they bend, and so do people's hearts." She said: "There are times when you are round. Jiahe, you..." He said: "Sister-in-law, once you leave, I will have no home." She said, "Come on tomorrow, let me introduce you to one?" But he said in a spirited way: "I know, there are a lot of soldiers with 'four pockets'..." Then he said, "—but they don't have guns."

she laughed. After a while, he would whisper again: "Sister-in-law, why do you do this?" She said, "What's wrong?" He said, "Can you pull it?" what did she say?" He said, "Hey—you're being mad." She looked at him in surprise, do you still need to gamble?So, is there any element of anger? If you talk about it openly, there is a little bit of it.But she is not just angry... He suddenly said: "Is the day planted?" "Days are planted," she said. He said, "Is hope planted?" "Hope is planted," she said.

He said, "What about people's hearts?" She said, "I told you, I'm growing flowers." He said, "What can a flower change?" "People's hearts," she said. He said, "Really?" She said: "The land nourishes people, and the flowers also nourish people. As long as you plant, the days will bloom." He said, "People say you are sick." "I know," she said. He said: "People also said that I was sick." "I know," she said. He said, "They are all sick." She smiled and he smiled too.

Then she said, "Really, I am growing a flower. I have a name for it: Moonflower." He murmured and repeated, oh, Moonflower.What a name.Suddenly he said: "Then, according to you, beauty is hope. Do I have hope?" Going on, she didn't say anything, she didn't say anything.In fact, she really wanted to tell him that your sister-in-law is dead, but the village is still alive.But she can't tell.Deep down in her heart, she had always treated the fourth child as her younger brother, and she still did so after leaving the Feng family.This fourth child is so kind, and he even has some stupid infatuation... From this point of view, in the same environment, the "poisonous gas" and "maliciousness" do not happen to everyone.Perhaps, everyone sees the world differently. Life has many facets. In time, even if you are a compatriot of the same mother, people are influenced differently. In the fourth child, there are indeed things she likes. But... Although she could see the longing in the fourth child's eyes, she didn't deliberately neglect him.At night, when he insisted on staying there, she stopped chasing him away.

Therefore, in the field not far from Yan Kang's room, the sound of flute often sounded... She knew that it was played for her.The sound of the flute was intermittent, like the moon cruising in the clouds, like the whispering of the wind, or like the flowing water of the Ying River... it made the days moist.This fourth child, only he knows that she has dreams in her eyes. At night, she dreamed again. ...still carrying the big rope on their shoulders, dragging the land, and walking forward with perseverance and difficulty.When she passed an intersection, a man wearing an armband suddenly stopped her and said, "Are you going into the city?" She said, "Going into the city." She took out the heart, it was red and fresh, and she said: "This is the proof." The man took the heart and looked at it, and said: "No, it's not enough size." She said anxiously: "Why is it not enough? ? You measure, you measure again." The man said: "What to measure? My eyes are rulers, do I still need to measure?" She said: "Then what do you say?" The man sneered: "Okay Do it, go back!" The road has gone so far, she can't go back, and she can't just go back.So, she said: "What do you want, you say." The man looked at her, suddenly smiled, and said: "Your eyes are very good! You have a pair of good eyes." She looked at him in surprise: "Do you want an eye?" The man said: "Don't worry, I'm not a greedy person. I can't help it either. My wife has no eyes. You can lend me one." She said: "Can't you do anything else?" The man said: "No. Otherwise, you can go back." So she dug out one of her eyes and gave it to the man.The man took it over and said, "It's not fake, is it?" She said, "There are still fake eyes?" , Sure enough, there were tears.After the person had passed the inspection, he waved his hand and said, "Let go!" When she came to the second intersection, she was stopped again.The person didn't say a word, but the person waved the flag: "Certificate?!" She said, "I've already experienced it." The person gave her a sideways look, and said, "It doesn't even work if you have been tested! ——Certificate! She said, "What certificate do you want? I have one." She had to show her heart out again to be checked by others.The man took it, put it in a cup, and just put it down, but he muttered, "This, this, it's not round enough, and it doesn't meet the hygienic conditions..." At this time, she already understood, she He said bluntly: "What do you want, you can say." This person was the same as the first person, saying: "Since you are a happy person, I will tell you that my wife has no eyes, so you can lend me one. She said, "I only have this one eye left, and I still need to see the road. Can you ask for something else?" The man said, "I actually follow the rules. You don't have to bargain, you don't want to Forget it. Go back!" She looked back, but no one in the village said anything, people lowered their heads, and no one said anything... So she had to dig out the second eye and hand it over.In this way, she can't see anything!She said in her heart that as long as there is wind, she can find that place, where there are flowers. The third intersection... When she woke up, her eyes hurt.
