Chapter 193 Chapter 31 Alcohol and Insomnia

The chosen woman opened the door with trembling hands.Before unlocking the lock, Xuan Po couldn't fit the key into the keyhole several times because her hands were shaking too violently. The woman bent down laughing from behind: "I said, you are a big man, why can't you find a keyhole? No wonder you still can't get a wife." After hearing what the woman said, the woman's face turned red and her hands shook even more.Fortunately, it was facing the gate, so women couldn't see it.This sentence has a distorted meaning for the chosen woman.The reason why Xuan Po is still unmarried at such an age is not because he can't find a wife at all. There are deeper unknown stories in it.

There was sweat on his forehead, and the key in his hand was like a live eel, unwilling to enter that hole no matter what. The woman straightened up while supporting her waist, and said, "You don't want me to come into your house to rest. You can find the keyhole and screw it in slowly, can't you? See how anxious you are! What's there to be anxious about?" Her face was already hot, Xuan Po closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and silently told herself not to misinterpret the meaning of her words.Then he touched the hole of the lock with one hand, inserted the key with the other hand, and twisted it slowly.The lock is open.

He was about to push the door open, but it was already open.It turned out that the woman saw the lock open and pushed the door in before him. "The house is quite spacious." The woman looked around and clapped her hands.In the dialect of our area, "kuanzheng" means "the house is quite spacious and comfortable". "Yeah, yeah. Hehe, I live alone, can I make it easier?" He said while pulling on the electric light.Although the room didn't look very dark due to the moonlight, the atmosphere made his heartbeat irregular and his breathing a little heavier.There are many and chaotic things in my mind.The election woman grabbed the rope of the switch and pulled it, but the light did not turn on.

"It seems that there is a power outage again tonight." Xuan Po applauded, trying to keep her tone calm, for fear that the woman would hear her own psychological activities from his words. "I'll get two candles, wait a minute." "No, I can barely see clearly. Let's rest early, I'm a little tired." The woman held on to the door of the back room and poked her head inside. "You are quite careful. The quilts are all folded like tofu cubes, and the house is clean. Unlike many men, housework has always been a mess." The lady-in-law smiled innocently, and moved to another room to look for candles.

"Are you drinking?" The woman turned around and asked the selection woman. "Ah?" Xuan Po stopped walking to another room and looked at her blankly, not understanding what she meant. "That." The woman pointed into the room.Xuan Po went back to the original place and leaned over to have a look.She was referring to the wine jar under the table of the Eight Immortals, sitting there round and round, like a Maitreya Buddha with an open belly.The Maitreya Buddha smiled and looked at the two men and women who came back late at night, just like he looked back when he walked out of the door a few days ago.Similarly, although Maitreya's smile is generous and benevolent, he feels a faint danger.

This is an illusion, Xuan Po shook her head vigorously, trying to get this irrational thinking out of her head. "Oh. I sometimes drink a little at night." Xuan Po said, "Sometimes I really can't sleep at night, so I just drink a little, but I never get drunk." Xuan Po scratched the back of her head, remembering that there was a small white snake in the wine jar .He hasn't opened the can these days, the white snake has been immersed in the wine for so long, so he doesn't know if the wine tastes better.The secretary of the village committee has a large glass wine bottle, and a dry snake sits cross-legged in the transparent wine bottle.The wine in the bottle was dyed the same color as snakeskin, and the secretary of the village committee had a faint snakeskin-like light on his face after drinking the wine.There were many times when Xuan Po was helping at the secretary's house, he wanted to borrow a few drinks, but he never had the chance.The more he drank, the more sad he became, and he couldn't sleep well.He saw a note on some electric poles, which said: "The sky is terrified, the ground is terrified, and there is a night crying man in my house. The passing gentleman reads it and sleeps until dawn." He suddenly thought of writing something himself. Stick the note there and ask others to read it for you.

He watched the secretary of the village committee swaying happily like a fairy, and wondered if he could get rid of the entanglement of troubles by drinking the wine soaked in snakes?Is it possible to sleep until dawn? "Can't sleep? Insomnia?" the woman asked, with a slight light in her eyes.Xuan Po thought to herself, no wonder people say that beautiful girls have bright eyes.He could clearly see the stream shining under the moon in her eyes.The image of another girl suddenly flashed in his mind, and that girl also had such watery eyes.The girl was supposed to be his wife. Later, someone introduced him to someone, but he always looked at their eyes first, but he couldn't find a pair of eyes that were as bright as hers.

How many nights, the election woman woke up in the middle of the night, recalling the pair of watery eyes in her dream.The fire of desire burned the body, but the loss filled every nerve.The house of the wall also melted into the night, and he seemed to be sitting at the bottom of a well.So, how many times, he got up from the bed, fumbled to open the cold wine jar, poured himself a bowl of wine, brought it to the bed and drank it slowly.After drinking to the bottom, the sky outside the window began to get brighter. "Hello?" Seeing him standing there like a wooden sculpture, the woman waved her hand in front of his eyes.

"Huh?" He blinked and woke up immediately. "Where do I live tonight?" The woman asked in a flat tone, with a gentle light in her eyes.But the more meaningless it is, the more people feel that the meaning is intentionally hidden. "You live..." Xuan Po rubbed her hands and didn't finish the rest of the sentence. "You can't let me live with you." The woman's tone was still very flat. To the selection woman, it seemed like a shy request, but also a hard rejection.The thinking of choosing a wife is vacillating between the two, and can't find a suitable foothold.

In front of the girl who also has a pair of watery eyes, he is faced with the same dilemma.Because the family was poor and helpless, the girl's family did not agree with them being together and tried their best to obstruct it.But that girl didn't know whether it was out of pity or sincere liking, and she deliberately violated the wishes of the family and wanted to be with him.He was flattered, but extremely humbled. "You don't really want me to sleep with you?" the woman asked again.Xuan Po still couldn't figure out her real meaning from this sentence. The problem is that there is only one bed in the house of the chosen wife.
