Chapter 7 people city

The crowd in the twilight is coming to an end, and the group of people are still standing on both sides of the road. The most eye-catching ones are some young women dressed in enchanting clothes. Judging from their gorgeous and complicated costumes, they should come from the northern part of Qingyun County , They uniformly applied rouge on the forehead, cheekbones and lips, and wore blue, peach or water-green floral robes. It is inlaid with agate grains and jadeite pieces, forming a butterfly and hanging down, accompanied by jade rings, silver locks and sachets.They came dressed up, maybe because of their self-confidence and sense of superiority, their faces could not see much sadness in troubled times, as it was getting late, the generous buyers were still missing, they were chirping like a flock of birds before returning to the forest yelling about something.Standing scattered were barefoot mountain women wearing grass hats, and several middle-aged women from Changzhi County in plain clothes and black clothes.On the other side of the road, elderly men and boys who have not reached the weak crown sat lazily in a row with their legs crossed, and some of them fell asleep leaning on other people's shoulders upside down.A restless boy climbed onto the wild jujube tree on the side of the road. He tried hard to shake the tree, but the wild jujube had been harvested in advance, and all the shaken leaves were dry.Someone shouted under the tree, don't shake the tree, you have killed the wild jujube tree, and there will be no place for shade in the future, let you stand in the sun to sell, let the sun burn you to death.The boy gave up shaking the tree after being threatened. He sat down on the tree fork, and soon found a strange woman with a wrapped head coming down from the mountain pass. He found a new target and pulled out a wooden slingshot from his arms , Shouting nervously under the tree, another big animal is coming, give me stones, give me stones quickly!

They saw Binu with a bundle on her head walking under the wild jujube tree, and even the women on the other side of the road heard the stones rustling on her body, but for Binu, such an attack should be endured, she just walked towards the tree. The boy on the road glanced at it and said, "You can't hurt me if you hit me with small stones. You climb so high, be careful to fall down, and hurt yourself!"The boy didn't expect her reaction. The calm and kind reaction made him laugh. He put away the slingshot and said to the people under the tree, she didn't scold me when I hit her with the slingshot, and she was worried that I would fall off the tree. Hmph, there must be something wrong with this big animal's head.

Binu stood on the dirt road, under the tree was the man's territory, she could not stay, but there were a group of women on the other side of the road, but their graceful skirts and hairpins looked abrupt and ambiguous in the bleak autumn wind, she did not dare to pass easily, so Binu went Standing on the road, he blankly observed the crowds in Lancaojian.Those well-dressed women are also watching her, why are they putting the package on their heads?The phoenix bun that has been combed out so hard is not afraid of being crushed?Some people say, what is a phoenix bun?Some people focused on her appearance and dress, and said jealously and ignorantly, there are beauties in the south?Look at her with crescent eyebrows, phoenix eyes and willow waist, is she a beauty?Someone next to her added harshly, she just doesn't know how to wash her face and put on makeup, and uses dust as a powder to put on her face. Look at the dirt on her face, she can grow vegetables.

Binu didn't care about the gossip and gossip of the group of women in costumes, it was their attitude of waiting on the road that made her walk over boldly.From Taocun to Lancaojian, Binu has always had an illusion about the women gathered on the roadside. She thought they were all waiting for a carriage to go to Dayanling. Dayanling.Binu first stood beside a woman in green clothes who was eating pancakes, and asked, are you waiting for the carriage here?Are you going to Dayanling?The woman in green squinted at Binu, chewed the cake and said, what Dayanling?This is not a post station for hard labor, where can there be a carriage to Dayanling?Don't hang around here, go on your way before it's dark!Binu said, what about you, what are you waiting for?Where are you going?The woman in green took out a purse from her belt, we are different from you!She waved her purse in front of Binu, did you see that?It’s needlework, we are not big animals, we are all female weavers with crafts, we are waiting for the carriage from Qiao’s weaving room to hire someone, what are you doing here?Binu heard the woman's discrimination against her, she said, big sister, you can't talk like that, everyone standing here can't do anything, who is a big beast?Knowing how to do needlework is so delicate?The girls in our Taocun grow mulberry and raise silkworms from an early age, and their needlework is rough, but the silk threads on your purse are all pulled from the cocoons of silkworms. I can recognize the silk threads pulled from the cocoons of our Taocun silkworms!The woman in green blinked her eyes and looked at Binu, all our purses are filled with silk threads from your family?Are you from Peach Village?No wonder talking like thunder!She suddenly laughed triumphantly, I know who you are, they said that there was a crazy woman in Taocun who was lovesick and took a frog to the north to find her husband, they were talking about you!

Binu was surprised again.She didn't know that the news about her going north had been tampered with by passers-by when it reached Lancaojian. It sounded like it was indeed the news of a crazy woman.She found that there was a kind of pity in the eyes of the woman in green staring at her, which was obviously the restrained pity of normal people for madmen. Binu patted the package on her head angrily, who is chewing my tongue behind my back?I'm going to give winter clothes to my husband, what is lovesickness?I'm not sick, whoever has the heart to let her husband spend the winter barebacked is sick!

You are not sick, so hurry up and send winter clothes. It is such a long way to Dayanling. If you don’t hurry, the snow will come down, and your husband will freeze into a snowman!The woman in green sneered, flicked her sleeves and squeezed towards the other female weavers, and then Binu heard her joyful voice clearly, didn't you see it?Come and see, she is that crazy girl from Taocun! The female weavers who were whispering to each other all turned their heads, and they all looked at Binu with astonished and curious eyes, it was her.That's her.lovesickness.madwoman.What about frogs?The frog was hiding in the parcel over her head.Standing in their needle-like eyes, Binu felt an indescribable stinging pain on her face and body. She was so exhausted that she didn't have the energy to reason with those women, and it was the same with Taocun. Well, they all like to gossip about her, Binu had no other way to deal with them, suddenly remembered Taocun's Jinyi's way of dealing with rumors, and spit loudly at those women.

There are other women on the side of the road, a few mountain women, standing silently in a corner of the city, like the shadows of a row of trees in the twilight.Binu left the well-dressed female weaver and walked towards a woman in black with a straw hat in her hand. The woman's figure reminded her of the mountain woman on the raft and the frog in the package.She wanted to ask where the woman came from, did she come from the mountains in the northeast, did she know a woman who was looking for her son along the river on a raft?But in this hostile market, Binu lost confidence in communication, she decided not to speak, not to ask anything, I don't ask you, and you don't ask me.Binu stood there silently, standing with the mountain women, waiting for the passing carriages and horses.The woman in black put down the straw hat that covered her face, revealing a swollen and gray face. When she spoke, a smell of Houttuynia cordata came out of her mouth.You should not stand with them. The old, ugly, sick, and unskilled should stand with us.The woman stared blankly at the package on Binu's head, and said, "You are better than us, and you have a big package on your head. We don't have anything, so we have to stand here and wait. We don't wait for the carriage from the weaving room. Someone will Just buy us to pull and plow the land. The big animals are talking about us, but no one wants to buy us mountain girls, even if they are big animals. They think we are ugly and stupid. Waiting to die here, if you are waiting to die, stay with us.

There is no place for Binu in Lancao Jianren City. She can't stand with the female weaver, and she doesn't want to stand with the mountain girl anymore. She can hear that the desperate words of the woman in black are not to persuade, but more to refuse.Binu felt sorry for herself, and there was no room for the mountain girl, so she had to stand in the middle of the road.Binu stood blankly in the middle of the road, waiting, waiting with the others.They watched the last carriages and horses passing through the city.The sky in Lancaojian is slowly darkening, the wind blowing from the mountain pass is a bit colder, occasionally a car will pass by on the road, and the crowds on both sides will become agitated. Colorful purses, the demeanor is still a little reserved, the boy on the opposite side simply ran over and pulled the car cloak, they wanted to climb directly into the car, but they were beaten back by the driver's whip, and the driver said, don't buy people No, don't buy people today!Those mountain women with low self-esteem timidly chased after them and asked loudly, do you want big animals?Don't get paid, just take care of the food!The people in the car replied, no, no big animals, just food!

Binu carried a package on the road and dodged the carriages and horses. Her lonely and embarrassed figure once again attracted the attention of the boys under the tree. They pointed at the package on Binu's head and said, go and see, there is something in the package. Don't have a frog?Another gruff voice sounded like it belonged to some elderly man, look what a frog, go see if there are any knives in that package?Binu felt that this crowded city in the twilight was a bit dangerous, and the middle of the road was still not a suitable place for her to stay, so she was going to go back to the left side of the road.The wild jujube tree shook for a while, the boy with the slingshot jumped down from the tree, and another boy also stood up and chased after Binu.Binu yelled and said, are you going to be robbers?Watch out for the government to kidnap you!The boys were stunned for a while, and the old man's voice sounded sinister again, if they are kidnapped, they will be kidnapped, and it is better to be tied up and have food than to starve to death here!They were explicitly encouraged. A boy parroted his tongue, and if he was kidnapped, he would be kidnapped. If he was kidnapped, he would have food!The other imitated the tone of the robber and said, leave the money for the road before leaving!They ran towards Binu like two wild beasts.
