Hunger for a hundred years

Chapter 9 (9)
By the time she recovered from her injury, months had passed.The jackal didn't dare to hit her again, but left uninterrupted wounds on He Dahe Er's body.The task of beating Xu Lian was exclusively undertaken by Yang Guangwu. If he was not satisfied, he would punch Xu Lian.What's more, he gradually developed into a quirk. Whenever he beat Xu Lian, his penis became as hard as a diamond. He would often pounce on Xu Lian to vent when he was beaten until Xu Lian was covered in black and purple and called her father and mother.Sometimes, Xu Lian didn't provoke him, but when he wanted to do that in his heart, but the thing between his legs was disabled, he would beat her, and once he hit her, the thing would not be disabled.Xu Lian's body was devastated, but her heart was like spring grass, alive vigorously.She crazily misses my grandfather He Di, 24 hours a day, she seems to be dreaming, in the dream, she and He Di go in and out together, loving each other.In this way, her mind became more and more in a trance, and she became a real patient.

One day, Xu Lian was beaten severely in the firewood mountain where thick and dense liquidambar trees grew, and after being raped by Yang Guangwu on the rotten leaves overflowing with black water, she carried a large bundle of firewood back alone, and never thought about it again up the hill.Yang Guangwu was still chopping firewood on the mountain, Jackal went to the Yogurt Mountain to pick up bracken, and He Dahe Er didn't know where he went.The house was sadly quiet.

Xu Lian thought about it for a while, and finally went into the back room, took out a large handful of opium from the box, put it in her mouth, chewed it and swallowed it.

A stunning woman who overwhelmed all others was poisoned to death at the age of 22.

At that time, my father He Da was nearly five years old, and my second father He Er was only over three years old.

It was already a month after the news of Xu Lian's death reached He Jiapo.

Lijiagou is rich in bamboo and wood, so there are many bamboo strip craftsmen.A young bamboo strip maker surnamed Li made his living in Hejiapo.It is the season when the rice is yellow and ripe, and people with rich fields need to dry their mats.When Li bamboo craftsman was working at He Xingxiao's house, He Xingxiao found out that he was from Lijiagou, so he asked if he knew someone named Xu Lian.Speaking of Xu Lian, who doesn't know how far Lijiagou is?Who is not interested in talking?While eating dinner, while drinking, the Li bamboo craftsman told He Xingxiao and Yan Shi the whole process of Xu Lian from her marriage to Lijiagou to her death.When Yan heard that she was dead, she immediately burst into tears, and tears washed her face blackened by pot ashes like a field; He Xingxiao also burst into tears.Carpenter Li Bamboo was very surprised. When he asked, he found out that Xu Lian was their nephew and daughter-in-law.

Carpenter Li complained endlessly, deeply regretting that he had given such explicit details about Yang Guangwu's forced rape of Xu Lian.

Today's Hejiapo, apart from He Heng, He Huaqiang, He Kunzhang, and my third great-grandfather He Xingxiao, is a wealthy family.The reason why He Xingxiao joined this rank is because he put all of Xu Lian's property under his own name.He handled this matter quite neatly, and it was completed just two months after Xu Lian came to court. --What he couldn't figure out was that the property left by his own brother was actually given to He Xiangzhan and others by a shameless woman. (Not all those properties were left by his elder brother, Xu Lian and He Di bought a lot later.) What are He Xiangzhan and others?Isn't he just a bachelor with a dick?Why do you have such a good property?He Xingxiao went to talk to He Xiangzhan first, hoping that he would know what he was interested in and give up the property in a proper manner.He Xiangzhan was quite surprised, and said that the property belonged to Xu Lian's sister, and Xu Lian asked several people to keep it on her behalf, and it did not belong to them, and they had no right to give it to anyone.

"Although she's gone, it's uncertain when she will come back," He Xiangzhan said.This is what he has in mind.When Yang Guangwu came to pick up Xu Lian, he hid on the ridge of the big field and carefully looked at Yang Guangwu's appearance. He felt that Xu Lian's sister's departure must be a disaster. Go down, or go back to Hejiapo." But he didn't have such a chance.After Xu Lian left, he would go to Leichao Bay every day. If Xu Lian came back, he would pass by there.He Xiangzhan stood at the mouth of Leichao Bay, looking straight down the mountain, often forgetting the time.Several times, when it was completely dark, he thought of going back.Laichaowan is under the ancient village where the Anzi Temple is slanting across. It is a long way from Hejiapo along the trail. Run back to the village (Laichao Bay got its name from years of fierce battles inside and outside the village, with corpses strewn all over the field and blood flowing into rivers. Later, the corpse collectors cried and cried, and their tears eroded the rocks, forming a bay under the stone wall) , Often drenched clothes and pants.

If He Xiangzhan doesn't say anything, he will let it go, but when he says it, He Xingxiao is so angry that he shakes his thin body and bumps towards him with his head as the front.He Xiangzhan gave way, hugged him from behind, and said in horror: "Old man, what's the matter with you? In case something goes wrong, the younger generation can't bear it." He Xingxiao shook his pointed beard and panted heavily. He said angrily: "It's good for you to know! What role does Xu Lian consider her mother? A bitch! What right does she have to enjoy my He family's property after she's already in court? Besides, where is he originally from the He family? No! He was adopted by my brother from a beggar woman!" He Xiangzhan kept saying "yes yes yes".He Xingxiao said again: "What did you just say? Xu Lian is coming back? Don't say she has no face to come back, if she does come back, I won't be called He Xingxiao if I don't take off her trousers and tie her pants to a tree with Gastrodia hemp rope!" He Xiangzhan said "yes yes yes".Seeing that his attitude was correct, He Xingxiao calmed down, sat down and asked He Xiangzhan to agree to return the land to him, but He Xiangzhan died without saying a word.He Xingxiao soaked in his hut until late at night, although He Xiangzhan had a modest attitude, he never let go.He Xingxiao had no choice but to go back to sleep.

At dusk the next day, he went to the homes of several other bachelors.Those few bachelors have already repaired their houses and are preparing to marry their wives.Seeing He Xingxiao approaching, he already knew what was going on. "Whether you hit the wall or jump into the latrine, it's up to you, but don't splash the blood on me. If you dare to hit me with your head like He Xiangzhan did, I will take your head off!" The first words they said to He Xingxiao.He Xingxiao was originally ambitious, but when he heard this, he was dying, and he didn't dare to ask for death.But he couldn't lose his arrogance verbally, and then used the same words that he taught He Xiangzhan to teach them, but they said: "We accept Xu Lianzi's land property, there are conditions, you know the inside story, why did you Don’t fart? If you don’t come here for this matter, I’ll invite you to sit down. If it’s just for this matter, you’ll get out of here!” How could He Xingxiao say anything?He had no choice but to turn around. After a short distance, he rested a few times before returning home.The next day, he got off the Dongba field and found his eldest son in the prostitution house. He Dong'er calmly listened to his father's narration, and comforted him: "Dad, what age are you? Eat less and wear less, why take other people's things?" He Xingxiao slapped He Donger on the face, turned around and left.

He knew that in order to prosper the family, it would not be possible to rely on the eldest son with a bad conscience, and he had to find the second son, He Min.He worked tirelessly, went to Qingxi Field and Yongle Field three times, and finally found He Min in Qingxi Wanjia Casino.After explaining the purpose of coming, He Min said: "You go back first, I will come back in a few days to pay the bill." At this time, He Xingxiao knew that He Min had made a fool of himself.Four days later, in the dead of night, He Min and a few brothers sneaked into Hejiapo, killed a few bachelors, and threw them into a big river ditch. They rushed to the river to feed the fish.The sudden disappearance of several big men, anyone would be suspicious, of course the object of suspicion is He Xingxiao, the whole Poshang knows that he asked several people to ask for the property.However, a few bachelors have no relatives, and others don't want to be troublesome, so let it go.When He Xingxiao took all of Xu Lian's property as his own, He Huaqiang felt threatened, so he quietly passed the words into the ears of Zhang Tuanzong of Dongbachang, hoping that he would lead someone down to check it out. He thought he would get a reward Unexpectedly, President Zhang Tuan gave him an ear scraper and told him to get out of the way and not to open his mouth and chew.How did He Huaqiang know that after He Min took care of the matter, he had already gone to President Zhang Tuan to settle it
That night, He Xingxiao shed tears and felt an unprecedented comfort in his heart.As soon as Xu Lian died, it proved that the elder brother He Xingneng's family was extinct, and those properties could only be called He Xingxiao after him.

Yan's thought the same way, but she was not as optimistic as the man, because she thought of Xu Lian's two children.With two children, it cannot be called extinct.Yan asked Carpenter Li, "How are those two dolls?" Carpenter Li sighed, "When my mother was alive, she was often beaten. When she is dead, there is no need to talk about it." Speaking of this, Li Mi The craftsman stopped, but He Xingxiao wanted to ask what happened. Carpenter Li Mei said, "I'll tell you what I said. Don't be sad." He Xingxiao wiped his eyes: "It's a lie if you say you're not sad! The flesh and blood of your own house How can anyone not be sad when he has suffered evil? But death is life, and we always have to know a letter." Before He Xingxiao finished speaking, the cry has come out, "Where is my grandson?"
When he calmed down, Carpenter Li said that He Er disappeared ten days after Xu Lian died.People in Lijiagou said that He Er was beaten to death by Yang Guangwu's son Jackal and buried secretly; He Er was missing for less than a week, and Jackal was foaming at the mouth and died suddenly. This must be retribution .Now, Yang Guangwu and He Da are the only ones left in the Yang family. Although He Da is neither a human nor a ghost, he doesn't beat him unreasonably like he used to.

He Xingxiao and Yan Shi inevitably cried again.He Xingxiao said: "So, He Da won't come back?" The craftsman Li said: "Looking at it, Yang Guangwu is afraid that he won't let him go." Yan said: "If he doesn't let him go, as long as he treats us Hello grandson, we have nothing to say. We are just afraid." Carpenter Li hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, old man, now that Yang Guangwu has no blood, he will definitely treat He Da nicely." He Xingxiao shook his green cloth gown The soot on the table said: "After hearing what you said, I won't be angry anymore."
Soon, everyone in Hejiapo knew that Xu Lian had died, and many people felt sorry for Xu Lian's death. Even those who had spoiled her with saliva before felt that the woman's life was bitter. "It's a pity for such a beautiful woman!" This was their common exclamation.This sentence has been passed down to this day.The beauty of my grandma Xu Lian has gradually been deified as time goes by, becoming an insurmountable specimen.

Only He Huaqiang was extremely angry about this, as if Xu Lian's sudden death had greatly offended him, he said viciously: "As the saying goes, the king who fucks women has long hands and feet, and that slut is a Japanese woman surnamed Yang." Damn! Didn't you see Yang Guangwu's hands look like monkeys?"
After the news of Xu Lian's death spread in Hejiapo, a gust of wind blew to Wangwanggulou.

Xu Lian's father passed away two months ago. When her mother heard the news, she immediately went blind. Her eyes had severe cataracts, but she was so anxious that she completely lost her sight within a few minutes.After several daughters and sons-in-law got together, they clamored to go to Lijiagou to "beat people to death". "Beating to kill" is an ancient tradition in the Qingxi River Basin. Whenever a married woman dies, no matter whether she is a relative or not, her family flocks a large number of people to the man's side to ask for an explanation, which is called "beating to kill".The more people go, the more they show the power of the natal family, and the more they can suppress the man; if they win, the husband of the deceased will bow down to the natal family, admit that he is suspected of being abused, and give financial compensation to the natal family.If the man refuses to admit his mistake, dozens or even hundreds of natal family members will eat and drink for free on the man's side, making a lot of noise, even if everyone is a gentleman, they can't stand the torment.It may even develop into a weapon fight.

If the man was defeated in the fight with weapons, then things would be troublesome: the husband of the deceased had to tie the dead man to his back with cloth strips, hold a bronze gong in his hand, beat it, and march around the village until he was exhausted. Throw on the ground, let the dead man weigh heavily on him.For a person like Xu Lian who has been dead for some time, if her mother's family is more gentle, they will let the man carry a dummy made of colored paper and cypress branches to parade; The dead man was taken out and put on his back.At that time, the body of the dead was already black, covered with maggots, and the stench was strong, but if you were told to recite it, you had to recite it, and if you didn’t recite it, you would be beaten.For this reason, many people were maimed or even killed.In addition, the man's family, young and old, had to wear sackcloth and mourning for the deceased.How long do you wear hemp and mourning?It ranges from three to five days, and some can reach seven to seven to 49 days!During this period of time, the man has to open a banquet, prepare meals, smoke and wine every day, and entertain the family of the deceased with all his heart.

When "beating people to death", even the natal family who has a grudge against the woman are willing to go, one is that the common soil and water bind them together, and the other is that they can eat and drink for nothing, and the woman can ask for a foot and a half inch The cloth head, a man can collect it for several months and still can't finish smoking the tobacco.

Hearing that they were going to kill people, Xu's mother shook her head and said, "Why don't you call your Mrs. Zhong and ask what's going on!"
Xu Lian's older sisters crossed the ditch to find Aunt Zhong. The matchmaker, Aunt Zhong, knew that Xu Lian was dead, and disappeared without a trace.And since then, Mrs. Zhong never looked back at the Drum Tower. I heard that she was active in another mountain dozens of miles away. She still made a living as a matchmaker and lied all her life. People kept cursing her with a popular folk song in this area: "Guier Baier is shameless, she hides one side and the other, as long as the matchmaker gets the money, she doesn't care about the lame and blind!" He said: "Gou Ribai'er is lying, peel your skin and pull your teeth!" This threat finally came true when Mrs. Zhong was 75 years old. Her few remaining teeth died of pain in the wilderness
The fact that the matchmaker could not be found aroused the Xu family's anger even more, and they decided to go to Lijiagou to beat people to death.

When the words came out, more than [-] people gathered at the Drum Tower.Lijiagou is far away from the sky and the earth is far away. I don't know the details. If you don't know the details, you don't know the enemy's situation. The less you know the enemy's situation, the more you must be fully prepared.In this way, more than [-] people are obviously not enough. On the day of departure, dozens of people dressed up and came to Hejiapo together, making an appointment to go to Lijiagou to ask questions.There are not many people who are willing to go to Hejiapo than Wanggulou. The elder is more than seventy years old, and the youngest is only seven years old.Seeing this, Xu Lian's sister and brother-in-law were very happy and bowed to thank everyone.

But they ignored the fact that no one who was eloquent or eloquent went to Wanggulou or Hejiapo.As far as He Jiapo is concerned, the wealthy He Heng, He Huaqiang, and He Kunzhang did not go, even my third great-grandfather He Xingxiao did not go, and He Xiandong, a well-informed wanderer with a great talent for debating ghosts, did not go. .He Xiandong's refusal to go was not intentional like my third great-grandfather, but he brought a woman from other places to be his wife a few months ago, and now his wife is pregnant and is about to give birth.

Because Xu's mother was blind, and thinking of her daughter made her heartbroken, it was impossible to walk such a long distance. Xu Lian's brothers-in-law led the killing team.These people are used to being excited, and when they speak seriously, they blush and their necks are thick when they speak seriously, and they can't roll their tongues for a long time.It was such a miscellaneous army that set off from Hejiapo and headed for Lijiagou mightily.
