Hunting for the Southern Song Dynasty

Caohua's father and Caohua's mother would sometimes scold me with words, and it's not that I can't hear it, it's just that I'm just pretending to be stupid.

For example, at dinner that night, Dad Caohua said, "Why are there only a few buns?"

Cao Hua's mother said: "It's good to eat some. Just add a bite for nothing, and one will eat the three of us. Sooner or later, the whole family will be eaten up!"

"Okay, you can just say a few words. After all, he can read and write, and he knows how to do it."

After hearing this, I immediately wanted to leave, but it was getting dark, so I had to endure it.

Caohua said: "What are you talking about? With me here, no one can get away!"

Cao Hua's mother was anxious: "Girl's family is not ashamed, you give them eight taels, but they don't give you half a catty!"

Caohua said: "I can give him as much as I want, even if I give him my whole body, I am willing!"

Mother Caohua was so angry that she couldn't answer for a while, she groaned for a long time and said, "I don't even want to talk about you, you are so embarrassing! I don't know if you are running out of face? What are you doing with a shit mask?"

I know that this kind of quarrel is often endless. "New and old grudges" are counted together.

I hurriedly said: "Stop talking, I will leave tomorrow morning. Thank you for taking care of me all these time."

When Cao Hua heard this, she was very angry: "You heartless, get out! Get out early and have a good life."

Cao Hua threw the bowl and chopsticks and left the house.

Grass Flower Mother said: "Don't go, you still have to wash the dishes!"

Grass Flower Dad said: "Okay! Are you finished?"

Mother Caohua stopped talking and just kept drinking the porridge.She drank porridge louder and louder, perhaps as a pointless resistance.

Cao Hua's father said: "General Niu, don't be offended, we mountain and wild villagers have short-sightedness. In fact, I really want you to stay longer, but you also know that the food in this family... cough, let me tell you this What are you doing. General Niu, if you think highly of me and want to live in my house, even if I go to beg for food, I have to keep you full..."

"You don't need to beg for food. With me here, I won't be able to starve him!" Cao Hua returned to the house, picking up his father's words as she walked.

At this time, Caohua's father and I both piled up the dishes, and only Caohua's mother was still eating buns.

We all stopped talking.

Cao Hua conveniently cleaned up the dishes on the table.

Cao Hua's mother said: "You child, I haven't finished eating yet."

Grass Flower said: "You eat yours, and I will clean up mine."

Cao Hua only left one dish for Cao Hua's mother, and packed the rest into the kitchen.

Mother Caohua cleaned up all the vegetables on the plate with the steamed buns, and finally licked the plate clean in front of me.It's not that she hasn't licked before, but I feel that she licked a little exaggeratedly this night.

Dad Caohua might want to ease the atmosphere, so he joked with Mother Caohua: "Okay, we don't need grass to wash this dish, you can continue to use it tomorrow."

Grass Flower Mother was speechless.

I then said: "This is called diligence and thrift!"

Grass Flower Mama answered the call very quickly this time: "No matter how economical you are, you can't stand up to a scumbag!"

I was really angry when I heard it, and I didn't know what to say, so I went into my room and slammed the door.

Needless to say, I picked up my little parcel on my back the next day and left without saying goodbye.

I wanted to leave a letter to Cao Hua, but I was worried that this would make her forget me even more, so I didn't write a single word.To be honest, I still feel a lot of reluctance to leave Caohua.

Of course, it was Wang Yuanwai's daughter who was even more reluctant to leave.I always feel that I still have a story with her, but after leaving, there will be nothing left.

Some people meet and say goodbye, maybe the only thing left is nostalgia.

Nostalgia for any time is not as good as seeing each other, I think so.

I waded a lot of green grass covered with dew, and finally ushered in the fiery red morning sun.

As I walked, I regretted a little: I always felt a little bit unwilling to walk away like this.

People are always like this, at a loss in front of the choice, and always regret it after the choice.

I heard someone yelling "General Niu" from behind, and when I looked back, it was a big man chasing me, and I was secretly delighted: it was very likely that Cao Hua asked him to chase me.He listens to grass talk the most.

I stood still.

The big man caught up.

"Are you leaving?"

I nodded.

"How do you just leave? I haven't stayed with you enough yet? I will miss you when you leave. You said you, and you didn't say hello to me when you left. It's too embarrassing."

The big man is usually not very talkative, at least he doesn't talk to me much, but today he was extremely enthusiastic, and he also had an uncontrollable joy on his face.

"There is really no way. Now is the time when the country is employing people. I have to go back as soon as possible." I said a little grandiosely.

"That's right, you are different from ordinary people like us. I told Cao Hua long ago that you will leave sooner or later. By the way, didn't Cao Hua come to see you off?"

"We said goodbye last night."

I wanted to be angry with the big man on purpose, and his face was a little ugly after he said this lightly.

"That's it, that's it, I have to say goodbye anyway."

"What are you going to do?"

"Catch a fair and sell some brooms."

It was only then that I noticed some brooms on the back of the big man.

"Let me help you carry it for a while."

"No need. Let's go together."

We continue on our way.

"Actually, grass flowers are not the most beautiful in our village."

I knew what the big man was going to say, so I suddenly became interested and asked, "Then who do you think is the most beautiful?"

"That goes without saying, of course it's Furong."

"Who is Furong?"

"The daughter of the king's wife."

The big bastard, I asked him a lot of questions about Wang Yuanwai's daughter before, and he either shook his head or kept his mouth shut, but today he took the initiative to tell me about Wang Yuanwai's daughter.It turned out that this younger sister was named Furong.

"What is Furong? She covers herself with a stinky cloth all day long. Who knows what she looks like?"

"Everyone in the village knows. Me, Caohua, and Furong played together when we were young. To be honest, Furong is really cute. When she grows into a big girl, she will be so pretty."

"She's so beautiful, she's afraid of seeing people."

"It's not that she's afraid of seeing people, it's that people are afraid of seeing her."

"She's not a fairy!"

"She is not a fairy, but she has a demonic look on her face. When she was 14 years old, many men died in the village one after another, and the whole village felt panic. One day a lunatic came and wrote a few crooked lines on the gate of Wang's house .”

"What did you write?"

"Let me think about it...it's written like this. There is a girl in the Wang family who has just grown up, and she will die if she looks back and smiles. Hibiscus covers her face to make peace with each other, and red candles burn gauze to make love. The lunatic disappeared after writing. Wang Yuanwai wrote this The four lines of crooked poems were cleaned quickly, but it still couldn’t stop its wild spread, and many people in the village brought these four lines of poems into the old pedant’s house and asked him to explain them.”

"These four sentences are quite easy to understand."

"No matter how easy it is to understand, we can't figure it out by ourselves. We must find an authoritative person to explain it."

"That's true."

"The old scholar said that the daughter of the Wang family is a disaster. As long as a man looks at her well and has evil thoughts towards her, if she turns his eyes and smiles at this man, the man will undoubtedly die. The solution is very simple, that is, give this man Everything will be fine if a woman covers her face."

"The first three sentences can be explained in this way, but what does it mean to burn the red candle and burn the yarn to make love?"

"The old pedant didn't say anything, and everyone didn't care about this sentence. After solving the problem of life and death, let's talk about love. Everyone told Wang Yuanwai what the old pedant said, and begged him to put a veil on his daughter. Wang Yuanwai said People are very stubborn, and they refuse to say anything, and they don’t believe anything. Furong is even better, as usual, crossing the street swaggeringly. One day, I saw with my own eyes a young man from another village staring at her, and she ignored him and left. After passing by, this young man stared at her back, only to see Fu Rong turning her head and smiling, guess what?"

"what happened?"

"Don't worry, let me ask you a question first?"

"Just ask?"

"You won't go back to our village again?"

"will not."
