There is a girl in the village
Chapter 1 There was a girl named Xiao Fu
When the first ray of sunshine shines on Luoxi Village, this quiet Bianguan mountain village begins a new day.
In a small thatched hut in the west of the village, a young woman opened the door. She looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a yellow and thin face, and the clothes with several patches hung empty on her body, as if her thin body could not support the thin clothes. Clothing.
The woman tied herself a simple woman's hair in the water tank, and the water surface printed a beautiful face. Although the food and clothing were poor for a long time, it did not affect the woman's beauty and refinement.
Indistinctly, the willow eyebrows are curved, and the big almond eyes are shining brightly, which complements the shimmering early sun. The delicate red lips are slightly curved, which seems to indicate that the owner's mood is slightly brighter due to the good weather.Picking up a handful of clear water, the woman washed it meticulously. The early autumn morning looked clear and slightly cold, and the water placed on her cheeks brought chills and shivering.
The woman seems to have been used to it for a long time. Firewood needs to be chopped, and there is no extra labor in the family. If you can save it, you can save it. For this impoverished family, the coolness of getting up early is not worth mentioning.
After the woman cleaned, she raised the fire to cook. There was no food left in the rice tank, so the woman had to use a little white flour and some black flour to knead the dough and steam some steamed buns.I grabbed a small handful of brown rice and cooked a nest of very thin porridge. The rest was the wild vegetables picked in the field yesterday, scalded with hot water, mixed with a little salt, and that was it.
When the woman finished her breakfast, the rooster just crowed for the third time, and the village began to be lively.Smoke billows from the kitchen, chickens crow and dogs bark, mixed with the noise of children, women get up early to cook, wash, wash and feed chickens, men wipe their faces indiscriminately, ate breakfast hastily, and then yelled to go to work in the fields.
The woman entered the house, stopped at the door of the main house, and called softly: "Daddy, Mommy, it's time to get up."
"Fu Niang, bring in some water." The old woman's voice came from the room.
"Yes." Funiang replied respectfully.
The water that the wife gave to the old couple was naturally hot water. After serving the two elders to wash up, they brought breakfast.
"Go and serve Da Lang, I don't need you here." The old woman helped the old man to sit down, and said lightly to the wife who was standing aside, but the tone seemed so natural.
The wife agreed and brought hot water into the house.
There was only one kang and one wardrobe in the room, surrounded by walls. The young man on the kang was so thin that his cheekbones protruded and his eye sockets were sunken. He seemed to have been ill for a long time.
"Da Lang, are you awake? Get up." Fu Niang spoke in a very low voice, as if she would frighten the man if she spoke louder.
"My wife, I'm awake. Cough, cough, cough." After only one sentence, the man coughed violently, causing him to curl up all over.
"Da Lang, are you okay!" Seeing the man like this, the wife hurriedly put down the wooden basin in her hand, helped the man up, and stroked his back.
The man coughed for a while and drank his saliva before suppressing the discomfort in his chest.
The wife helped the man up, wiped his hands and face carefully for him, and brought rice porridge to feed him.
"Fu Niang, thank you for your hard work." The man said guiltily as he looked at Fu Niang who was getting thinner.
"How come, eat quickly, the porridge is going to be cold."
"If you didn't marry me, how could you work so hard." The man had no appetite and shook his head.
"What kind of words are these, Da Lang thinks too much." Fu Niang scooped up a spoonful of porridge, but was pushed away by the man.
"Although I have been ill for a long time, I know in my heart that you have been married to me for three years. In these three years, I can see what kind of life you have lived. I am afraid that my illness will never recover. When I go, I will give you a divorce paper, and you can make a living by yourself, rather than staying here at home."
"Why did Da Lang say that, as long as the treatment continues, Da Lang will recover." Fu Niang put down the bowl and said quietly.
"The food and clothing at home are not enough, how can I have spare money for medical treatment, my wife don't need to lie to me." Although the man is sick, he is very clear-headed.
Their Zheng family was originally from a decent family. The old couple lived with their two sons. The family had three acres of paddy fields and two acres of dry land, and their lives were quite nourishing.
It was only five years ago, somehow, the Zheng family seemed to suffer the misfortune of eight lifetimes.
At the age of 15, Zheng Da, who was about to take part in the children's examination, fell ill. The doctor said it was lung disease, and Zheng Da Niang fainted immediately after hearing this.
Zheng Da is the hope of the Zheng family, and he is well educated. Although the Zheng family knows that it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to obtain fame, they still put in a lot of effort to train them. relief.
Who would have thought that with this disease, fame and fame are hopeless, and even life is in danger.On the one hand, Mrs. Zheng asked the doctor about medicine for Da Langyan, and on the other hand, she asked the gods for fortune-telling.For a while, the money was like running water, the land was sold by the mu, the medicine was poured down bowl by bowl, and the incense was burned to worship the gods, but after a whole year of tossing, Zheng Dalang's situation became worse and worse.
Aunt Zheng was so anxious that she ran to ask the witch again.The sorcerer said that only by using the horoscope of Shao Xing Chong's daughter can she block the evil spirit.
"Witch, where is this girl?" Aunt Zheng asked hurriedly when she heard that her son was rescued.
"Let's go to the southeast to look for it, and you will gain something."
Aunt Zheng believed in the sorcerer's pretentiousness, and then Fu Niang was tragic.
The Gu family's family situation is also not good. Gu Xiaofu has two older brothers, one older sister, and one younger brother. The family has a large population, but they only live on three acres of meager land.She was neither the eldest nor the youngest, and she was a baby girl, her parents didn't love her, so when the Zheng family took the dowry to the Gu family, Gu Xiaofu became a happy bride.
The bride price that the Zheng family gave to the Gu family was only three taels of silver.According to the local customs, the groom's gift to the woman ranges from five taels to ten taels, and these three taels of silver are really shabby.
Because the Zheng family didn't give much dowry to the Gu family, the Gu family didn't want to give more dowry. Originally, Gu Xiaofu was married off in order to have less mouth to eat, not to mention that the family had more places to spend money.Gu Xiaofu's older sister, Gu Dafu, was married a year ago, but her two elder brothers haven't married yet, so how could the Gu family be willing to pay more money.So, Gu Xiaofu came to Zheng's house with two newly made clothes.
Gu Xiaofu has suffered since she was a child, and she doesn't mind that the Zheng family is not what it used to be. She serves her in-laws and takes care of her husband. The house is well-organized by her, and the Zheng family is satisfied. Got better under care.
Unexpectedly, misfortunes never come singly. Father Zheng broke his leg when he went to repair the garden at the landlord's house in a neighboring village during the slack season.Now, the two young men in the family are sick, and Zheng Er is fifteen now, so he takes on the burden of the family.
Who would have thought that when Zheng Er was young and careless, he went to the county town to sell grain one time, and was cheated by the local hooligans of the unheated money, which was life-saving money for his elder brother to buy medicine. Tempted to go to the casino to make money back.It's a pity that his Zheng family had bad luck, and Zheng Er was no exception. He didn't win the money back, and owed the gambling house ten taels of silver.
The gambling house took people to the Zheng family to ask for it. The Zheng family was also an honest person, and they made up everything together, and finally paid back the huge sum of money. However, the Zheng family could never recover again, because Zheng Er has been in love since then. Got addicted to gambling.
Zheng Da thought about these bad things in the family, and he was powerless to undo it, but it was hard for Fu Niang. If Fu Niang stayed at Zheng's house to watch over him after his death, then he would be too sorry for Fu Niang.
"Fu Niang, you and I are only siblings, not husband and wife. Don't worry, I will arrange you properly before I die."
Funiang somehow got out of the room, how she cleaned up the dishes, and didn't even eat breakfast, so she took the family's clothes to the Luoxi River at the head of the village.
Their village is called Luoxi Village, because there is a stream at the east end of the village named Luoxi.No one in the village knows why it is called this name. The world is difficult, wars are constantly chaotic, and Luoxi Village is at the border. After decades, the villagers have come and gone. exists here.
There is not much water in the Luoxi River, and it surrounds the village from north to south. On weekdays, the fields in the village are irrigated from here. Thirty or forty families in the entire village also depend on Luoxi for their livelihood.
In the past, there was an old village head who had some writing skills and led the villagers to open a small reservoir by the stream. During the high water season, the stream water was drawn here. The villagers can have water available, so that the crops in the fields will not fail.Compared with the neighboring villages, Luoxi Village always suffers much less losses in a famine year, and the village is relatively richer.
Gu Xiaofu went to the edge of the stream and found a quiet place to start washing clothes.At this time, the sun was already up, and there were many women around the stream, in groups of three or four, washing clothes while talking about the affairs of the village.
"Have you heard that Aunt Yang is proposing kiss to Lu Dalang again?"
"What's so strange about this? He didn't talk about going back to his relatives every year."
"But this time it's Widow Liu from Shangtai Village."
"Tsk tsk, it's really a crime. You can't talk about the girl in Huanghua, but you can talk about the widow."
"Who says it's not? He ordered Qisha to commit crimes. Not to mention his father and mother, he can even kill a dog. Who dares to promise his daughter to him."
"The year before last, there was an old man who wandered around to collect herbs. He stayed at his house for one night, and fell to his death the next day. You said it was evil."
"The Huang family is poor, and they are greedy for the bride price of his two acres of paddy fields. Who would have thought that the second daughter of the Huang family would die of typhoid fever just after getting engaged."
"We are from ten miles and eight villages, and only the village chief's family can bear his evil spirit. It's a pity that he is a good man, rich and beautiful, but his fate is so hard."
Gu Xiaofu listened to the gossip of the three aunts and six wives, thought about it, and couldn't help laughing, it turned out that she was not the worst person.In Luoxi Village, the worst person was Lu Yuanchang who lived at the east end of the village.
"Fu Niang, what are you laughing at? Is your Dalang getting better?"
Gu Xiaofu looked up and saw that Wanniang next door also came to wash clothes, so she gave her an open space.Wanniang was the same age as her, and married into the Hua family next door in the same year, so she had a good relationship with Funiang.
"No, just hearing them talk about Lu Dalang makes me feel ridiculous." Fu Niang shook her head and said.
"Lu Dalang at the east end of the village? I heard from my family's Erlang that Lu Dalang is so powerful that he can kill a bear that big. It's a pity that he has a hard life and he still can't marry a wife." Wanniang said regretfully.
"Does he look scary? I heard from them that any living thing can be killed by him."
Lu Yuanchang is known to everyone in this area, but there are too many rumors about him, true and false, false and true, making it unclear.Although there is no rule for village women not to leave their boudoirs, Fu Niang's family lives in the west of the village, and Lu Dalang's family lives in the east of the village, and they have not seen each other for three years since they got married.Wanniang's husband, Hua Erlang, often goes hunting and knows more about it than others.
"Erlang said that he is a rare handsome man, with martial arts, there is no prey he can't hunt, and there are ten acres of paddy fields at home. Hey, what a good Yierlang, he is actually a master of the common people."
Listening to Wanniang's rambling, Fu Niang couldn't help thinking: Is Lu Dalang really so fateful?
In a small thatched hut in the west of the village, a young woman opened the door. She looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a yellow and thin face, and the clothes with several patches hung empty on her body, as if her thin body could not support the thin clothes. Clothing.
