Urban Tales of Demons and Spirits

The girl pinched her waist and looked very capable. The old woman standing opposite her should be the matchmaker.

"What kind of man are you stuffing me!" the girl said arrogantly, still speaking in a local dialect, "the family has no cattle, no land, can't afford a house, and has no job. It’s as boring as a gourd, and you can’t blow a fart with a few sticks, so you can’t be dumb! You’re trying to trick me, aren’t you?”

The matchmaker became anxious when she heard the girl's words, and said quickly, "Oh, what kind of words are you talking about, girl! I'm such a poor old woman, what are you doing! Only men who don't say anything can do big things. It means that he is an honest man, you know? What girl doesn’t want to marry an honest man! Hey, and what’s more, I heard that this man can also paint and do art, you know?”

The girl's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she seemed to be attracted, "Really? Then does he draw well?"

The matchmaker rolled her eyes, patted the girl on the back, and said, "Then you can ask yourself, you will know?"

So, the girl with two braids ran to find the young man in such a turbulent manner, and yelled loudly as soon as she met her.

"Hey, Ergou, I heard from the matchmaker that you can draw! Draw a picture for me to see?"

The young man looked so timid, I thought he had burned all the paintings and couldn't get them out.Unexpectedly, after a while, the young man carefully took out a folded rice paper from his pocket.

The rice paper was crumpled, it seems that it was forced to do so in order to hide it from the parents.Before the young man unfolded the rice paper, the painting was snatched by the girl.

She unfolded it and said, "Let me see, what kind of pictures you can draw with a dull stone, it must be not very good!"

As he spoke, the drawing paper was unfolded, and the girl froze for a moment.It turned out that it was the girl herself that was painted on the rice paper.The eyebrows are eyebrows, the eyes are eyes, and the details are outlined in one stroke. The girl who looks at it is blushing.

"Oh, how can I be so good-looking." She said embarrassedly.

The young man spoke at this moment, and this was the first time I heard him speak.The young man was serious and looked at the girl very seriously.

"you are pretty."

Then the picture moved again, it was a festive scene, it seemed that not long after, the young man who loves to paint married the girl with braids.I thought this should be the whole picture of the story, but I didn't expect that from here, the development of things completely exceeded my expectations.

First of all, the young couple I thought would be sweet and sweet, but the number of quarrels became more and more each time, and they were all caused by that girl without exception.

"You say you! How can you be so worthless!" She said in a rambling voice, "Old Li's son is now in college, and he sends money and tonics to the family every day. Look at our daughter, who spends all day Running around like a wild girl, neither studying nor looking for friends, you don’t know how to take care of your children all day long, you just know how to draw your broken pictures! Draw pictures, you have drawn from 20 to 40 years old, which picture do you have? Is it sold?"

The young man—no, it should be said that he was a middle-aged man. He shrank his neck after hearing this, and then retorted unconvinced.But even his rebuttals were lukewarm and without force.

"But it's not for selling money, it's just because I like it, it's art..."

"Can art be eaten!" But just halfway through his words, his wife interrupted, "He is almost 50 years old, why is he still like a little girl, and he doesn't understand the truth Is it? Every household in the village has a car and a house. Tell me what else our family has! We don’t even have a car, just a few old cows in the field. Tell me, what can we do? Food! Let me tell you, if you mess with those waste papers again, don’t come into our house again!”

As she said that, the woman even wiped her tears, "When I married you back then, I didn't know how many lifetimes of misfortune it was. How did I think that I could fulfill the matchmaker's wish!"

This kind of conversation seemed familiar. At this moment, I can imagine the mood of that man.

I thought that I had started a new life, that all bad memories would come to an end, but I didn’t expect that nothing in this world has changed. The society is still as strict as before, and the family is still as old-fashioned as before. And no matter when, Outliers are always ostracized by the crowd.

"...Let me tell you, our old Zhao is as bored as shit, he can't even fart with a stick!"

"Oh, that's really hard for you. Fortunately, our old Li can speak well, and the children can listen to him!"

"Oh, that's your good fortune. I don't have such good fortune as my sister, and you don't know, Lao Zhao is so stuffy, he can be indifferent when he does that kind of thing!"

"Hehehe, I heard that, for a man with a dull temper, that's too short a sentence."

"Okay, stop teasing me!"

At this time, my eyes shook again, and this time, the scene turned into a bedroom again.

This bedroom seemed to be the bedroom of Ergou and his wife, but Ergou was not in the room at this time, but stood outside the door trembling.

There was a sound coming from the bedroom, and I listened carefully. It was some faint and faint sounds that made people blush.Panting, groaning, moaning, and occasional coquettishness.

This is probably... His wife is having trouble with others.

The man who was called Ergou seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, he kicked open the door and broke in.

"You, you——!"

Sure enough, the sight in sight was simply unsightly.The men and women were entangled together, the sheets and quilts were messed up, and the two of them didn't seem to mind being discovered by their husbands at all.

The wife's movements only stopped for a while, and then she wrapped her lover's shoulders again, and looked at her husband with a disgusted expression.

"What are you! If it wasn't for your poor skills, that thing is too short, would I find another man? Go out and close the door. Or you can stay if you want, just to learn their skills!"

My wife's eyes were full of joy, and the mockery and sarcasm made me angry.But Er Gou lowered his head and said nothing, and then he actually exited the room step by step, closing the door for the couple.

The wild laughter of the wife and lover came from the house.

But what happened in the next second left me with no time to react.The door was suddenly and quickly opened again, and the silent man rushed into the room like a gust of wind, holding an ax in his hand.
