Hunger for a hundred years

Chapter 6 (6)
Where can I sleep!After thinking about it, she felt that this day was really meaningless, and all thoughts were lost for a while.The two children were sleeping next to her, breathing evenly, which aroused her infinite sadness.He Da had a good relationship with his father since he was a child. When his father didn't come back after a few days, he forced his mother to ask: "Why hasn't Dad come back?" Seeing that her son woke up early, Xu Lian said to him with tears: "Your father Now that he has a new home, his home is in the group of graves beside the Yantang." Since then, He Da often walks on his short legs and sits alone by his father's grave.One day, he was sitting there, digging into the crack of the grave with a small wooden stick, trying to dig out a hole and see what dad was doing in it.He Kunzhang passed by and said, "Boy, that is your father's grave. What are you digging for? If you are filial, you can kowtow to him." He Da knelt down and kowtowed obediently.When his younger brother He Er could walk, he took his younger brother to his father's grave, pressed his younger brother to make him kneel down, and then kowtowed to his father.Even the hardest-hearted He Huaqiang couldn't bear to see that miserable scene, and he cursed meaningfully: "These two puppies are fucking crazy!"
Xu Lian looked at the children, hugged them tightly, tears poured down like rain, and then burst into tears.

She hastily pulled off the pillow cover and covered her mouth.She didn't want outsiders to know that she was crying.

After shedding tears, Xu Lian felt better, but her body felt hot.Mosquitoes were buzzing too.Xu Lian couldn't sleep, so she got up and lit the tung oil lamp, and wanted to do some more needlework.As soon as the light came on, she found several big mosquitoes slithering away and biting the faces of her two sons.The house was next to the gutter, so it was damp and mosquitoes were born early.She slapped the mosquitoes off her son's face, got out of bed, slapped him with the torn trousers, put down the mosquito net, and went to the kitchen.There is no sound in the courtyard dam.Xu Lian sewed up the cuffs of her son's clothes, and patched a piece at the knee of her own trousers. Her eyes were very dry, and she couldn't do it anymore, so she stopped.

When she was concentrating in a daze, she suddenly heard a long sigh from the room.Xu Lian was startled, and the needle she held between her fingers stabbed her hand again.There was a wind outside, and the wind blew in through the window, making the bean-like lamp sway.Xu Lian looked around in panic, seeing dazzled shadows everywhere on the wall.In this room, apart from her, there are only two children, and there will be no one else.From this, she thought of her husband again.Thinking about it, she fell into deep thought again, and the life of branches and leaves when her husband was alive came to her mind.Inadvertently, she heard another long sigh.Xu Lian was really startled and stood up instinctively.

She didn't move because nothing happened.

But then, she heard that sigh again!

This time she heard clearly that the sigh was her own.

Xu Lian was no longer in the mood, packed up the sieve containing the cloth-headed underwear, and went into the back room.

Instead of lifting the mosquito net from her son's bed, she got into another bed.

This is the bed she used to sleep with her husband.

After her husband died, she never slept in this bed.She folded the quilt neatly and put down the mosquito net to let her husband's soul rest inside.Every day when she came back from the slope, no matter how tired she was, she would come in and have a look.Now, when she lifted the mosquito net, her eyes blurred, as if her husband was really sleeping on the bed.

A strange and vivid feeling returned to her body completely.She was so hot that she was drenched in sweat, and her legs parted involuntarily.She felt that her husband was lying on top of her, and his body was entering her body.This feeling was so subtle and vivid that it stretched out the hard shell she had accumulated on her body for more than a year.Slowly she took off her underwear and rubbed her breasts with her hands, just like her husband used to do.Her breasts were no longer as firm as they used to be, and the dark nipples were lazily drawn into the flesh.This is because there is no love from her husband.After a while, she took off her trousers too.

She called her husband's name over and over again, laying out her body, waiting for him to love and love.

After He Di's death, Xu Lian felt physical urges for the first time.

An hour later, Xu Lian hugged the pillow and cried
The hot summer has passed, and the mountains and ridges of Hejiapo hang and spread melancholy in autumn.After that physical impulse, Xu Lian's dry skin gradually improved, her eyes became brighter, and from time to time, there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.With a blow of fate, she is much more mature than before, and the ubiquitous beauty in her body has also matured. The charm of the little woman is fanned by her shabby clothes, which is fascinating.All the bachelors in Hejiapo were following her idea, and whenever they had the opportunity, they would go to the fields where she worked to show their hospitality.My grandma Xu Lian likes them like this, but she doesn't like one of them in her heart.Those bachelors are not only poor, but also don't like to be tidy.However, she would not be stingy with her charming smiling face and her nonchalant words, which made three or four bachelors stick to her back, scrambling to help her with work.

It is conceivable that Xu Lian's reputation has been completely ruined in this way.Word came out from the slope that Xu Lian was an out-and-out slut, with two small x in between, serving several men.He Huaqiang actually said that one day he went uphill to hunt pheasants, but he caught them instead of catching them.People don't believe that the pheasant is a sensitive creature. Although it is used to resting in the low grass, it is good at listening to the wind. Scratches all over your face at the same time.He Huaqiang said that the pheasant did not rest in the grass, but rested on a stone beside Shuidangzi. It was a big pheasant without hair.Everyone realized something, and one said: "I can guess, it must be a female pheasant." He Huaqiang said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense, it's a male pheasant and a female pheasant!" Then he walked away quickly.

He is always so serious and serious, and he created another world in Hejiapo, so that you can't get close.But in fact, at this time, he had a special interest in Xu Lian in his heart: "That woman is so cute!" After He Huaqiang left, the people who stayed behind started talking, saying, The female pheasant must be Xu Lian.Since He Huaqiang saw that she had no hair, she must have stripped naked.Then, there must be a male pheasant, and who is that male pheasant?Everyone rolled their tongues and turned their lips in wild suspicion, as if their imaginations were also scented.Everyone is not interested in the male pheasant, so turn around and talk about Xu Lian.Didn't He Huaqiang say that she didn't grow hair? Women who don't grow hair in that place are called Baihu, Baihu Kefu. No wonder the little white face is about to die in her hands.At this point, those kind-hearted people on the slope really sighed for a while.

Even though Xu Lian's short and long stories could not be passed directly to Xu Lian's ears, she had guessed very well from the pointing and secretive words people said to her.In the dead of night, she would often touch the edge of her husband's grave, and just sit there for one or two sticks of incense.She poured out all her grievances on her husband's grave.While resenting her husband's early death, she begged his forgiveness.She is not a flirtatious woman. The reason why she has to smile in front of a few bachelors is because only they can help her work, and, in her mind, those bachelors have the best hearts. Although they have thoughts on her, they all want to marry her, and there is no malice other than that, no matter when, they never said a bad word about her.Expressing her heart in this way, Xu Lian couldn't hold back her grief, and cried bitterly on the grave.Nearby, only He Huaqiang has an empty house, and she is not afraid of being heard.She said to her husband: "You cruel thief, tell me how to live, how to live!"
She was more and more afraid of the night, and more and more longed for it.After her son fell asleep, she lay on another bed. The physical and mental suffering could not suppress her youth, and the burden of life made her need a man even more.In the mid-autumn season, it was already a bit cold at night, but before going to bed, Xu Lian still stripped herself naked, exposing her body, which was as white as silver, to the cold wind for a long time, until her whole body was covered with unsightly goosebumps before she blew it. Turn off the lights and put on the quilt.

One day, when she was bowing down to blow out the lamp, she suddenly noticed a dark shadow in the window.Xu Lian screamed, hugged the quilt to cover the important parts, and then asked tremblingly: "Which one?" An old voice sounded outside the window: "A woman, who knows shame, is lying on the bed with bare hips and bells, may not be Who are you waiting for? I don’t think he was bitten to death by a mad dog, but you were killed by a wave! You killed a man in a wave, so you might want to kill a second one?” After speaking, the figure disappeared.

That's Yan Shi.She and He Xingxiao had heard those rumors a long time ago, so while secretly monitoring Xu Lian, they wanted to give her some serious attention.

Xu Lian was ashamed and hated, and knocked the tung oil lamp to the ground.

For the next few days, Xu Lian avoided Yan Shi, and when she saw her walking towards her with her mouth pursed, she lowered her head and walked away from her.

But He Xingxiao and his wife didn't want to let her go.One day, Xu Lian was standing outside the pigsty, watching the well-grown pigs licking their mouths and eating with admiration, when he suddenly saw He Xingxiao and Yan Shi coming.She picked up the pig food bucket and planned to leave, but Mrs. Yan blocked her way.He Xingxiao said coldly: "If you dare to do things that harm the dignity of the He family, we will tie you to the yellow jue tree!"
Xu Lian couldn't help trembling, but she quickly restrained her fear, glanced at them, and squeezed between them.

The yellow jute tree that He Xingxiao mentioned is right by the side of the main road where he lived.The crown of the Juice tree is like a cloud, but the trunk is extremely short. At a height of five or six meters, there are countless branches. Any branch can be used as a coffin lid when cut open.At that time, the living people of Hejiapo didn't know how old it was, but they just passed down the stories that happened to it from generation to generation.He Heng's wife, Mrs. Chen, often told people that not long after she married, a lewd woman was punished on the Jue tree.That woman's name is Cuihua, and she is the daughter of a gentry. Although she is not as good-looking as Xu Lian, she is more seductive than Xu Lian.Cuihua got engaged at the age of 14. Her husband's family lives in Xinglangtan under the dam. Her surname is Yang. It also has hundreds of acres of land. Her ancestors were officials from Sima to Sima, and they were quite powerful. The teacher had an affair.This matter was discovered by his elder brother, who was a martial artist, and beat the private school teacher to death with the butt of a gun.Seeing that the situation is not going well, Cuihua flees with her clothes on, and hides in her grandma's house.That night, the eldest brother put the gun across the pillow, ready to execute Cuihua at any time, but he slept until midnight, but had a dream, dreaming that Yanghou Mountain, which was backed by Xinglangtan, collapsed suddenly.He was awakened, and asked the woman beside him, the woman said, this is an ominous sign, it must be caused by you wanting to execute your sister.The eldest brother felt dejected and hesitated.

The woman said, this matter, as long as it is hidden from the Yang family, it will be done, and if it is publicized, it is not she who is ashamed.The eldest brother thought it was reasonable, thinking that the private school teacher was beaten to death by him in the courtyard, and he threw down the abandoned ancient well on the spot and sealed it with a stone cover, so people would never know.Unexpectedly, the next morning, people on the slope were talking about it.The elder brother was so angry that he took his younger sister out of the grandma's house, stripped her naked, tied her to a jujube tree, and yelled at the people on the slope to come and whip her.Who dared to fight at first?Cuihua's eldest brother did it himself, dancing the big twisted rope of Gastrodia elata, and slapped his sister facelessly.Cuihua's screams startled the birds on the tree.Tired of beating, he dropped the big rope, and tearfully told about Cuihua's evil deeds.The people on the slope became more and more angry, and finally someone walked over and lifted the rope. Just like that, Cuihua was beaten to death.Not long after, Yanghou Mountain collapsed, crushing dozens of people living along the slope to death.The mountain flows down like water, forming a gentle slope.The most astonishing thing is that the flowing mountain was actually cast into two big boots, one for men and one for women, trampling on Xinglang Beach.In the dry season, Xinglang Beach is covered with pebbles to form a human head.According to legend, one of the two boots belonged to the private school teacher and the other belonged to Cuihua. The head that was stepped on was naturally Cuihua's eldest brother.

This matter, no matter which dynasty or generation, He Jiapo women and children all know.People can doubt the fact that Cuihua was whipped to death naked, but those two boot-like mountains still exist today.For this reason, no one is willing to live at the foot of Yanghou Mountain. Even the old bachelor who lived there alone and raped Li Gao died inexplicably later.

Xu Lian was not intimidated by He Xingxiao, but she had to find her own way out.She knew that if she stayed here again, even if she was not whipped to death, she would be killed by rumors.

She went back to her natal home and told her parents about her thoughts with tears in her eyes.

Her parents had no sons, only five daughters all in one.Xu Lian is their youngest daughter.Strange to say, all four of Xu Lian's elder sisters have protruding eyes and noses, but she is the only one who is gorgeous and her parents like her the most.

Hearing that she was bullied in the He family, the two elders, who were over sixty years old, wept secretly.

Xu Lian played at her natal home for four days. Before she left, her mother said, "Daughter, please be patient. We will try to find you another husband's house, so let's just go to court." After saying that, tears fell like rain.

Xu Lian also shed tears, and Xu Lian said to her mother: "If you want to talk, talk further."
After 20 days, her natal family sent a letter asking her to go back.Xu Lian took her son up to watch the Drum Tower.

Aunt Zhong, who was two miles away from the Xu family, told her about a man.The man's surname is Yang and his name is Guangwu. A few years ago, the woman ran away and gave birth to a son, ten years older than He Da.Coincidentally, this man is actually from Lijiagou, which is the hometown of my grandfather He Di's birth parents. Of course, it is far away, more than a hundred miles away from Hejiapo.

After hearing Mrs. Zhong's words, Xu Lian put her arms around a son, lowered her eyebrows and bowed her head, and remained silent for a while.Aunt Zhong is an old matchmaker. She has been working as a matchmaker for 50 years.She can't see Xu Lian like that!If it's a girl, it can be said, a remarried wife, what's so embarrassing?She asked Xu Lian to express her opinion quickly.Xu Lian asked in a trembling voice: "Does he like dolls? I'm going to take both dolls with me." Aunt Zhong snorted heavily, and spit into her palm with a "snap", burying the baby she had never had in her life. After wiping her disheveled hair, she turned her thin lips and said, "Do you know what kind of virtues people have? Donate when you see a temple, and kneel when you see a Bodhisattva! People are so stretched and trembling! How can you do that?" What's the land like? It's not that he died. I can't see Hedi's monkey-headed mouse face! --What kind of family property is the Yang family? Hundreds of paddy fields, more than ten acres of dry land, outside Dozens of acres of chaishan, the trees in the chaishan are as thick as yellow barrels! Your He family is rich and expensive, and if you work part-time for others, why do they think they are weak!" Although Aunt Zhong is old, she still speaks Not even a drop of water can be poured into it.

Xu Lian saw how she was ruining so much, and it was like a knife point piercing her heart. Before the white foam gathered on the corners of Aunt Zhong's mouth, she left the fire hall angrily and went into the back room with her two children.
