idle mistress

Chapter 45 Wrong
"Wei Qiu, come quickly, Mr. Xu has fallen into the ditch." Erniang said anxiously when she saw her, and pointed her hand not far away.

Xu Weiqiu saw a person lying on the ground from a distance, his body was covered with mud, and half of his body was buried in the shallow ditch.

When I walked in, I saw that it was Mr. Xu.

Xu Weiqiu hurriedly called Shan Niu, and the three women struggled to get the old man out of the ditch, and then she took him home with a cart.

The old man had lived alone for a long time, and the fall was not light, and he was able to get up slowly after lying down for a long time.

Xu Sanye insisted that he was fine, but Xu Weiqiu was still worried. After a certain age, what he was most afraid of was falling. She and Shan Niu stayed at the old man's house for a long time. Seeing that he was fine, Only then did I feel relieved to leave.

When she went to the market the next day, she gritted her teeth and bought an old hen at a high price.

On the way back, on the way, I saw a villager disposing of some old furniture in the open space by the river. He raised his ax and was dismantling pieces of furniture.

There are several pieces piled up next to them. Although they are worn out and old, the materials used seem to be very strong, so it would be a pity to destroy them.

Xu Weiqiu hurried forward and asked, "Brother, do you want to split all these?"

This villager is Huzi from Jiutou Village, and Huzi nodded at her: "Yes, an old man in our village has passed away. These are all things he used."

"It's a pity to just chop it up like this. Can you give me these pieces?"

"Ah...?" Huzi thought he had heard it wrong: "Do you also want the things of the dead?" The people in the village are most taboo about using things used by the dead. If you don't want it, it will usually be chopped like this and used as firewood.

Xu Weiqiu nodded, and took a closer look. The two cabinets each had a broken leg, and a corner of the square table was also infested with insects. Everything else was fine. She handed the other side the few copper coins left over from buying the old hen, and discussed the matter. Said: "Brother, if this is the case, you can treat it as a waste product and give me the rest."

As soon as Huzi saw that there was money to collect, he immediately agreed and helped her carry the things up. The two carried the things ashore. Huzi recognized her cart at a glance. He looked at the sign Car, and looked at the little girl in front of me.

This appearance is very different from what I saw before, and there is no such stench on his body. For a while, Huzi didn't know if he had denied the wrong person, so he couldn't help asking: "Does the girl live nearby? Does the face look tight?" .”

Xu Weiqiu didn't suspect him, so he replied naturally: "I'm from Xigang Village in front of me."

"Ah, then we're not far away. I'm a villager in Jiutou Village, Dongtou. They all call me Huzi." While speaking, Huzi looked her up and down: "Are you pushing the cart for business?"

"Yes, I sell fish."

This time, Huzi can conclude that this is the person that the matchmaker Haogu introduced to Li Damao earlier.

This look is okay, not ugly, but a little dark, if you look carefully, it looks pretty good.After bidding farewell to the girl, Hu Zi returned to Jiutou Village, passed by the door and saw his daughter-in-law, he didn't even say hello, and ran directly to the end of the village to find Li Damao.

"Brother Da Mao, Brother Da Mao, let me ask you, have you not returned the marriage that my good aunt told you about earlier?"

"Leaving early, what's the matter?"

Hearing this, Huzi slapped his thigh: "Oh...wrong, wrong! Wrong!" He said three typos in a row.

"What's wrong?" Li Damao was confused by him.

Huzi told him everything about the girl he met just now, and then added: "That girl is a little dark, but she looks good."

"Really?" Recalling the appearance of that woman that day, and the smell wafting from her, Li Damao's heart trembled.

"Why am I lying to you? If you don't believe me, you can find a chance to have another photo session."

"No, no, I've already canceled the marriage."

"What are you afraid of? If the man is unmarried or the woman is unmarried, you can give the good girl some money and let her make another trip."

Li Damao felt that what he said was reasonable, but because of his face, he just shook his head and didn't answer. Huzi saw that he couldn't talk to him, so he left helplessly.

Li Damao looked at his background, thinking of his words, his heart pounded...
-
After sleeping all afternoon, the fat woman was still listless. She had to admit that she missed the girl's film that was released early in the morning.

She didn't know what was wrong with herself, as long as she didn't quarrel with this girl for a day, she would be bored. From the bickering these days, the fat woman was surprised to find that no matter what songs she quoted, that girl would I can immediately understand the meaning of my words, and when I reply to myself, I can speak clearly.

It's really not like an ordinary village girl.

When she had nothing to do, she walked back and forth in the room, wandering around.

No matter how she looks at this earthen house, she finds it strange. From the inside, it can be seen that the mud on the wall is freshly pasted on, and the paste is still clean.

A large, shaped window was opened to the southwest, and a simple partition was made between the living room and the bedroom with irregular branches.

It's fine if you don't have the first piece of decent furniture in the room, who would make a hole in the hall?
That thing is said to be a pit but not a pit, so it was simply molded out of a ball of mud, nearly one foot long but only two feet wide; the pit was covered with wooden boards of the same size, and it was polished quite smooth.

There were four futon cushions on the wooden board, which were not soft enough, but they were quite comfortable to sit on.

There is a small courtyard outside, the place is not big, and some firewood is piled up without planting anything. The vines on the fence wall of the yard are the only thing she can see, and they are covered with unknown flowers. It is pleasing to the eye.

Looking at the hall that could be called a barren house, the fat woman couldn't help but shook her head. How poor is this family?When she was slandering in her heart, she heard the familiar sound of the wheel from outside.

The fat woman regained her spirits, and she moved to the door with somewhat clumsy steps, unceremoniously declaring her dissatisfaction to the people who had just entered the courtyard: "Oh, girl, you came back so late, you want to starve me to death!" No?"

Xu Weiqiu looked up at her, didn't answer, and dragged the cart into the courtyard with all his might.

The fat woman looked at the rags on her car with contempt: "What are these things dragged back?"

"Furniture, don't you see it? Repair it, and there will be ready-made cabinets and small wooden tables."

When the fat woman heard that she wanted to use it, her contempt became even stronger, and she leaned over to look at it: "Is this all thrown away by others? Are you a scavenger?"

"Yes, the dead used it." Xu Weiqiu frightened her specially.
