[Red House Chai Dai] Salted Pork Knuckle, Crab Rice Wine

Liu Yiyi walked alone in the streets and alleys, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she couldn't tell what it was like, she just lowered her head and walked all the way, kicking the stones and coal cores along the road.

At that time, Xishan was rich in coal mines, and it was a common practice for people in the capital to burn coal. There were often burnt coal cores in the garbage dumps, which were scattered all over the ground by dogs.

Liu Yiyi stopped and stopped all the way, entertaining herself, and unknowingly walked to the front of the green cloth shop which was ten feet away.Because Liu Yiyi's appearance is really attractive, when Baochai was around, he would occasionally order someone to give her a fruit, or a bunch of candied haws or something.Liu Yiyi shook her head most of the time and refused to eat, but because of this, she believed that Baochai was a rare and kind person, and would come over from time to time to see if she was there, and sometimes said a few strange words, Baochai didn't reprimand her like other adults, but Listen with a smile.

However, Baochai was not in the shop that day.The folks in the cloth shop adhere to the concept of welcoming people with a smile, and Liu Yiyi looks really cute, no one wants to embarrass her, so someone took some fruit from behind and wanted to feed her, but Liu Yiyi refused , Seeing that Baochai was not there, she walked away embarrassingly.

After turning two turns, we came to the flyover area.The streets became wider and louder, and there were people coming and going, both adults and children living nearby.There are many shops on both sides of the street, all kinds of antiques, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings on the carpet, and a variety of juggling arts on the street. It was really a jumble of fish and dragons, and it was very lively.

Liu Yiyi's house is not far from the flyover, and she has been watching it for a long time, so she is very clear about the activities in this busy city, even though she is playing alone in the street, she will not be coaxed by others.She just walked all the way, listening to and watching all kinds of clumsy deceptions on the street, and her mood improved unconsciously.

At this moment, she suddenly heard screams, cursing, fists and feet, and the crowd rushed in like a tide. Liu Yiyi hurriedly hid in the corner of the street, and when she looked back, she saw the acrobatic In the arena, several burly men had already collapsed into one piece, and a tall nun in gray clothes was standing in front of a pair of brothers and sisters, and loudly taught: "Would martial arts be used for juggling? You really are a scum, shame on martial arts!"

Liu Yiyi played in the Tianqiao area all the year round, but she had heard about it before, and knew that those acrobats were all really skilled, and they were all very skilled, especially the brother and sister, who were the best of the best. But within a breath, that group of people had already been knocked down, and the brother and sister even knelt in front of the gray-clothed nun and kept silent. Surprised, they knew that this must be a great character, so they hurriedly backed away and moved. He didn't dare to move, lest he offend this ruthless man.

Unexpectedly, if she doesn't cause trouble, trouble will take the initiative to find her.Liu Yiyi hid in the corner of the street until the acrobat begged and prayed to be careful and thought she was unlucky to leave, and the street gradually restored the order of the past and became lively again, then she stretched and stood up.At this moment, I suddenly felt a blur in front of my eyes, and gray shadows flickered, but I saw a person standing in front of me out of thin air.But who is that tall gray-clothed nun?

Liu Yiyi was taken aback, and after being frightened by this, she almost cried out, but remembered how unreasonable this nun was, so she forcibly held back.She timidly raised her head and looked at the nun, she saw that the nun was over 40 years old, her eyes were dark, and there were two deep wrinkles beside her nose, but one sleeve under her black clothes was empty, and she had lost an arm. .

Liu Yiyi saw this nun's ferocious appearance, and was afraid in her heart. When she saw that she was disabled, but felt a little pitiful for her, and was confused and didn't know what to say, the nun had already said: "You have a bone! Uncommon, with brilliant eyes, he is obviously a good seedling of martial arts. Why don't you take me as your teacher and devote yourself to studying martial arts!" Her voice was high-pitched and thin, as if a sharp object had been scraped on a bronze vessel.

Liu Yiyi was still in a daze, only felt that her body was lightened, she had already been hugged by the nun, and she was tightly bound by one arm so that she could not move.Liu Yiyi was terrified in her heart, she was quick to wit, and burst into tears.Although she is young, she already vaguely knows from past experience that she is cute. It is rare for ordinary people to be indifferent to her sweet smile and tears.

"Wuuuu..." Liu Yiyi was terrified, and actually shed a few tears, crying loudly while crying: "There is a kidnapper who wants to kidnap a child!"

A lot of eyes turned around on the street, but they didn't dare to say anything when they saw a ruthless person like the nun in gray. Instead, they took a few steps back and turned their eyes back.Seeing the expressions of those people, Liu Yiyi was at a loss, but the nun in gray gave up on her own initiative.

"What's the point of crying and crying about some trivial things?" The gray-clothed nun frowned and said, putting her back on the ground, "This kind of mind, although extraordinary, is hard to become a great weapon!" As soon as the words fell, the person was gone disappeared.

Frightened by this, Liu Yiyi no longer dared to wander on the street, and trotted all the way home, only hoping to throw herself into the arms of her mother, Hu Shi, and tell the thrill of the half-day, and cry heartily, but As soon as she got home, she was greeted by Hu's feather duster: "Kneel down! Where did the crazy girl die? Don't you know how to coax your brother? Your brother has been crying for a long time, but you are nowhere to be found."

Liu Yiyi was so wronged that she was beaten several times with a feather duster on her back, so she had to kneel down with tears in her eyes, but Hu's mother and her own grandmother came up to her with her infant brother in her arms: "I said earlier, this girl The child is very skinny, and if you don't fight, you can't succeed. If you don't discipline yourself to be quiet, no matter how good you are, you won't be able to marry into a good family. How can you have a good husband in the future, so that you can support my good grandson?"

Liu Yiyi has heard similar words many times, and she still feels a little bit unfair when she hears the words, so she boldly said: "Why do you want me to marry a good man to support my younger brother, why can't I let my younger brother be more self-sufficient and work hard?" Is it easy to pull and pull my sister because of my career?"

Grandma Hu didn't know that someone in the world would dare to ask such a question. She was taken aback for a moment, then smiled contemptuously and said, "You are a silly girl for saying such a thing. This is a matter of course. There are so many whys." Come to ask? Now that you are young, I don’t blame you for asking such foolish words. When you are a few years older, when you think back to today’s words, you might feel ashamed.”

Her face is full of an expression that adults don't care about like an ignorant child.

Liu Yiyi still went in with a face of confusion, and Grandma Hu didn't explain much, she walked in with the child in her arms.After a while, the smell of food wafted over, but it was the Liu family having lunch. Liu Yiyi was kneeling in the yard, but she couldn't help but look towards the direction of the main room, looking more and more pitiful.

However, she didn't have a share in the lunch.Because mother Hu said that Liu Yiyi was running around like a crazy girl, but she only remembered to come back when eating.For these reasons, he refused to leave her lunch.

After dinner, no one paid attention to Liu Yiyi, Mrs. Hu hugged her son and went straight to the back, while Grandma Hu went to rest by herself.Liu Yiyi's stomach was empty, and her knees were sore and numb. When no one was watching, she couldn't help turning her head to the side, and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves.

In fact, if it were other children, such beatings, scolding and corporal punishment would make them sick sooner or later.However, since Liu Yiyi was picked by the mysterious gray-clothed nun, Yu Gengu really has something special about him, and he can still stand upright.It was also because the Liu family saw that Liu Yizheng seemed to be a normal person when he was beaten and scolded occasionally, so he gradually got used to it, forgetting the truth about the soft bones of children, and the beatings and scolding became a little more severe.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Yiyi only felt that her legs had lost feeling, and suddenly heard the backyard door, and when she looked back, she saw that it was the seven or eight-year-old boy from the neighbor's house, surnamed Zhang, Xingsan, Everyone called him Brother Chen, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?" Remembering that he was still being punished to kneel, he was a little embarrassed to be seen by outsiders, so he couldn't help but want to move his legs, but he knelt for a long time It's gone, the Qi and blood are blocked, and I can't move for a while.

Although the ancestors of the Liu family were rich, after a few generations, the collateral line has long since declined, and now it is just a compound with three entrances and three exits, and the number of people in the family is also limited, so there is no such thing as access control.Now all the men of Liu's family are out, Hu and Grandma Hu are taking a nap in the afternoon, Liu Yiyi's sister was sent to live in the countryside, a maid and a mother-in-law don't know where to go, the backyard is quiet, so that morning Brother sneaked in through the unlocked back door, cheaply.

Seeing Liu Yiyi struggling to get up, Brother Chen hurriedly took two steps, stepped forward to help her up, but didn't answer her question, just took out an oilcloth bag from his arms, and opened the oilcloth bag three times. But it was a greasy chicken leg and half a white flour steamed bun.

"Eat it quickly, Yiyi." Brother Chen looked at Liu Yiyi with a smile, and said.

Liu Yiyi was stunned for a moment, her face turned red.She took two steps back, getting a little further away from Brother Chen, and then asked: "You know everything?" Although she is young, she is extremely strong, and she refuses to let outsiders know that she is always punished by kneeling and beating at home. Hungry.

Brother Chen didn't expect her to be so angry, so he didn't react for a while, but said softly: "Eat it quickly, you must be starving." There is no other meaning, it is just a kind of care for beauty.He lives next door, so how can gossip be hidden from the neighbors?He naturally knew how Liu Yiyi was doted on by his parents in the past, and how he is treated like nothing now.

Liu Yiyi's eyes were a little red, but she shook her head.

"I don't want to eat it." She said stubbornly, but tears welled up involuntarily, "I'm not called Yiyi anymore. I'm a helpless child, my name is Wuyi."

Brother Chen froze for a moment. "I mean Wuyi, who is in the same robe as Zi. Wuyi is also from the "Book of Songs". I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable at such a young age. If you are older in the future, aren't you afraid to come back with a champion?" He comforted her Said.

Liu Yiyi wiped away her tears fiercely, and stared at Brother Chen with red eyes: "It's Yiyi who relies on, not clothes. You don't have to coax me. Although I am young, I don't want to be deceived. Where can my daughter's family be the number one scholar, if my daughter's family can also be the number one scholar, why would my mother and grandmother treat me like this?"

"They beat me and scolded me because they thought I had nowhere else to go." Liu Yiyi said, in a trance, she thought of the gray-clothed nun that made her palpitate.
