Back Off, Let Me Come

   "Aru, Aru, where did this dead boy go?"

  The woman who has been exposed to the wind, frost and sun for many years is carrying a wooden bucket full of clear water. She turns to look for her naughty son but finds no one. She is not in a hurry, but she must complain.

   "Probably running off to play crazy?"

  The woman who was traveling with her responded with a smile.

   She also carried a wooden barrel on her shoulders.

"Hey, just like his father..." A Lu Niang wiped the fine sweat on her forehead with her hand, she wanted this kid to come over and help her to share the burden, but who knew that he cared about her just like his father, and still Let her worry.

   "I'll fix it after asking my wife."

"that is."

  The relief of others made A Lu Niang feel comfortable.

  A faint smile appeared on her face again.

   "Well, I hope."

  Another person asked: "When will your daughter-in-law come?"

  A Lu Niang said with a smile: "There are still thirty-one days."

   This is a major event in the family, and she remembers it clearly! Every day counts with fingers.

  Others are envious when they hear it.

   They all praised Alun Niang for her good luck.

Aluniang wore an old animal skin hat that was worn out, a square mouth and a wide nose, thick and thick eyebrows, dark and red skin, a body that was not tall, broad shoulders, and thick arms. He is a stocky and short man.

   I heard that she is not from the Shiwu tribe, but from a foreign race, and was sold to Shiwu by her cruel father.

   Probably because of the frustration in her life, A Lu Niang lost four men in a row, and now she has only one son, A Lu, who is thirteen years old this year. Aluniang has been worrying about her son's marriage for the past two years, and has worked hard to save money for several years.

   It's just that with this little money, you can't marry a ten-black girl.

   Coinciding with the good business in the past two years, the prices of the women on Longwu's side have dropped precipitously, and the supply of goods has also increased. She contacted the dealers she knew through her contacts, paid a deposit, and didn't choose anyone. It is said that the delivery can be made on schedule within three months at the latest.

   The dealer patted his chest to make sure.

  A Lu Niang is also beaming with joy these days.

   Work more vigorously.

  everyone said that they were going to have a wedding soon.

   It is rare to see a capable woman like A Lu Niang.

  Many men in the tribe complain in private that their women are not as hardworking as A Luniang, and cannot earn a daughter-in-law for their son.

   Provoked other women to roll their eyes unanimously.

  Alu Niang is so strong because of the dead man, and she refuses to marry again. If she doesn't work hard, the two of them will drink the northwest wind? They are different, their men are still alive.

  If they also kill men, they must also work hard.

  One sentence left the man speechless.

   "Thirty-one days? That's coming soon."

   "Don't forget to buy wine when the time comes."

   There was a slight smile on A Lu Niang's face, and she said straight: "Of course, of course, the two lambs at home are ready."

  A Lu Niang, who seems to be a winner in life, also has an unknown hidden pain in her heart, and that is her son.

  Her son Alu has no desire to be a groom at all, and has the self-consciousness of becoming an adult. He is like the king of children all day long, hanging out with those naughty children of seven or eight years old. What kind of childish game is playing a game of generals and soldiers attacking the city.

  A Lu Niang was very dissatisfied with this.

   Repeated cane lessons.

  But other men in the tribe think that Alu has great potential as a warrior, and in a year or two, he will be able to go out to fight with other men in the tribe. At that time, what gold, silver, treasure and food women can't choose? This baby will be promising in the future!

  A Luniang doesn't have such big ambitions.

  She suffered so much in the first half of her life, pulling Alu to grow up with **** and urine. All she wants is for her son to stay by her side in peace, to have a decent craft, to marry a wife and have more grandchildren, and to be filial to her when she gets old.

   Tribal men scoffed at her idea.

   Secretly looked down on A Lu Niang.

   She doesn't even allow her own children to have more contact with her.

But the tribal women don't have so many ideas. They admire Aluniang, who can do the work of two big men by one person. The latter will occasionally help them with some heavy work, which is comparable to the man who only opens his mouth at home. be stronger.

   Seven or eight women fetched water and went back, chatting and laughing on the way, and didn't worry about the children who ran out to play wildly.

  The current conditions are much better than before. Their tribe is a famous big tribe nearby, and there will be garrisons patrolling nearby to prevent wild animals from entering the territory. Similar things don't happen once or twice, they will come back after dark.

   If it was later, a fat beating would be inevitable.

  The tribe gathered many large and small tents.

   Many tents have already raised smoke.

  Tribal men gather in twos and threes to chat, and naughty children gather to play and play, watching the time go by.

  A Luniang returned to her tent.

  But I saw a familiar man standing outside the tent.

  A Lu Niang knew that this man was the brother of her fourth husband, and they went out to "hunt" together. Of the more than 300 young men who went there, only half of them came back. The remaining men—including A Luniang’s husband—were chased and shot by patrol soldiers at the border of Yonggu Pass in Longwu County. Fortunately, they had a fruitful trip , as a widow, A Luniang also got a small fortune...

   "Come in and sit down."

  The man followed inside.

   "Sister-in-law, please do something."

"That's what you say, my brother will not agree." Aluniang has been taken care of by the other party all these years. When the tribe's food was the most scarce, her family had no adult men who could go out to hunt, and the food allocated was very little. She and Alu almost starved to death in the cold winter months, but they survived with the help of dried bacon from each other. Alu Niang was very grateful.

  "After the beginning of spring, the tribe will organize people to go spring hunting."

  A Lu's mother thumped in her heart: "Are you going to let A Lu go?"

   This is her lifeblood.

  She can support both of them by working alone.

  Where does Aru need to work hard?

The man hurriedly waved his hands and explained: "No, no, I want to borrow the armor and bow and arrow left by my brother... This spring hunting should pass the test, it may be a little dangerous, so I want to wear more things. Hunting can make money now, I want to take advantage of it. , go hunting again, and find a woman for the family's cub..." Who wouldn't be envious of A Luniang spending money to beg a daughter-in-law from a businessman?

  A Lu Niang agreed immediately upon hearing the request.

Because there are not many decent craftsmen here in Shiwu, and there is no superb iron-making technology. For ordinary people, such exquisite things as armor and weapons are hard to come by. A "family heirloom" that is passed down from generation to generation as long as it is usable. Save your life at critical moments! There are also some people who go out to hunt, and their weapons are all sharpened stones...

The armor, bow and arrows of Alu's mother's family are all spoils of luck that were picked up from some unlucky guy in Yongguguan. Some people in the tribe want to borrow them, but Alu's mother generally refuses. They are left to her son Alu. equipment!

  The person who borrowed this time is the deceased husband and brother.

   She agreed.

  The man dressed neatly and went out happily.

  The majestic appearance attracted countless eyes along the way.

  Alu Niang was busy preparing food for dinner, cooking firewood to cook corn and stewed broth, cleaning up the housework, and moving quickly.

   Soon, the crazy children came back one after another, and some people directly heard the sound of children crying.

   Except for Aru.

  Until the mid-heaven of the moon.

  A shadow complained and rushed back.

  Alu cursed: "Don't call me when I go home..."

  Finally, exhaustion was approaching. Under the moonlight, the tribal camp could be vaguely seen. Alu quickened his pace and trotted all the way. But running, he found that the dark tribe gradually lit up with a strange light.

   At first, it was a little bit, and then quickly connected together.
