Young rich peasants

The next morning, Fukang was pulled out of the sedan chair.He fell to the ground, and a pair of gold-embroidered shoes appeared in front of him. He looked along the hem of the clothes and saw a beautiful face. The flowers on this person's neck were golden, very dazzling.The matchmaker was next to him, smiling coquettishly, "Look at the main wife of Lei's family, Ada, can you get it?"

It turned out that he was the main house Ada that people said last night, no wonder so many people followed.Fukang got up from the ground, a hand stretched out from nowhere and forced him to kneel down.

Ah Da of the Lei family curled his lips, and said lightly, "Why are you so dull."

The matchmaker narrowed his eyes, and said, "Isn't it? How can this kind of low-class new baby be compared with the rich and noble family's? It's almost as good as it gets."

The Lei family's eyelids rolled up, "That man's surname is Lei no matter what, it's not good for others to hear your words."

There is a show!As soon as the matchmaker heard the non-painful reproach, he knew that the double red envelopes were coming soon, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the little one is not considerate!"

"Well, it's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, so let's do things today." Ada of the Lei family ordered, "I'm tired, go back and have a rest, matchmaker, just figure it out."

"I will definitely handle it properly for you! Don't worry!"

The matchmaker smiled happily and took a generous amount of money from the cashier. He ordered people to throw Fukang back into the sedan chair, and found a Xilang who presided over the etiquette and sent him to Mazi Village in the eastern valley.

Xilang's eyes widened, "Brother matchmaker, although this marriage is called a small marriage, it cannot be considered a formal marriage, but it shouldn't be so casual, it still belongs to the Lei family."

The matchmaker looked impatient, "What to do with so many things, just do as I tell you, don't leave me alone, lest you offend people and blame me for not being easy to take care of."

Xi Lang hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "What's the name of the little brother?"

The matchmaker was stunned for a moment, looked left and right, and saw a small bag of dried dates piled up on the stall of a peddler next to him, and said, "Let's call it Zaozi, and give birth to a precious son early." After speaking, he really laughed mockingly.

Xi Lang shook his head secretly, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to call the porter to get up the sedan chair, and went away empty-handed.

This walk was a whole day's walk, from the sun rising in the east to the moon's shadow, the mountain road was not easy to walk, Xilang was kind-hearted, afraid that the sedan chair would be stuffy, so he opened the window for Fukang, that is, Zaozi.

Fukang heard the conversation outside. His name is Zaozi now.He already knew that this was not China, nor the place where he grew up.Along the way, he was always in the costumes of TV dramas. At the beginning, he wondered if this was acting, but after being pinched for a while, he realized that these were all real, the real thing. Ancient.The ones that are lost are like dandelions that have lost their roots, and they can't find the bottom no matter what.

No matter how bored he is, the road still has to go.The mountain road was particularly difficult, and he was so jolted inside that he couldn't help knocking on the window frame.Before Xilang could turn his head, the bearer said, "You have to do this once when you get married, so that you don't want to marry again... I guess you won't have a chance to marry seriously in the future, so I will help you do it once. It can be regarded as a complete set. You, don't even think about running away. People who are not familiar with the mountain roads can't lead you out."

Zaozi watched the sun go down gradually, and couldn't tell what it was like.They finally arrived at the entrance of Mazi Village in the valley.Xilang got off the sedan chair, walked beside Zaozi's sedan chair, and started talking as he went.

"This pockmarked village, the original people all disappeared, and later it was used as a place to house people infected with the plague. Some people who were infected would have traces of pockmarks on their bodies, so the name of the village was changed accordingly. But you don't have to be afraid, The plague is over, and everyone here is fine."

"Hey, why is the road so far away? Let me tell you, Zaozi. If you come here like this, you won't be married, so you will inevitably hear some gossip. Don't worry about it. Take care of yourself and don't offend others. The Lei family The third son has always been neglected, I'm afraid life will be difficult, please bear with me..."

After chattering a lot, the sedan chair finally stopped after about a cup of tea.Xi Lang beat his waist and rubbed his shoulders, shouting for hard work.

The sedan chair door opened, and Xi Lang helped him out.He took a deep breath, it was cool and refreshing, but it was much more comfortable than in the county town.

He was led to walk forward, and he was tripped by stones from time to time, but he was still unwilling to concentrate on walking.He stretched his neck and looked around. There were no street lights in ancient times, and the people on the side of the road lit fires in front of their houses, and they gathered together to watch Zaozi and Xilang pass by.The houses are all mud brick houses, covered with tiles, and the darkness in the dark can scare people's guts.

The light from the fire illuminated everyone's faces, and some people had pockmarks on their faces, which frightened Zaozi, so he no longer dared to look around.After walking for a while, Xilang stopped until the light from the fire could no longer be seen. This is a house at the end of the village, with a big yard, a single family, no neighbors, and no fire. .

Xilang remembered that this was the yard where the corpses were kept during the plague, so he couldn't help feeling a little chilly.He pretended to be calm and knocked on the door of the yard vigorously.A person came out, holding a small torch, and the red flame illuminated the face that was beginning to show angularity.He said with a straight face: "What's the matter."

Xi Lang was stunned for a moment, and forced a smile, "Young master, you really asked this question... Today is the day to marry a new baby for you, the head of the family should have told you about it."

"Oh—" the young man dragged his voice, and suddenly said half a sentence, "I don't want to send it back."

Zaozi trembled, not sure if it was touched by something or because it was cold.This movement did not escape the young man's eyes.

How could Xilang let such a thing happen, the people of the Lei family would definitely not let this kind of nonsense happen.The household registration will be settled in a few days, but the new baby is returned, isn't it a joke?Moreover, the members of the Lei family may have some calculations, and it is definitely a bad thing to disobey at will.

With a thought, he turned a bitter face, "Little son, you don't know, this kid is also a miserable one."

The young man stared at Zaozi intently, didn't pay much attention to Xilang, only raised his eyebrows, and said, "What do you say?"

Seeing that there was a connection, Xi Lang hurriedly told the origin of the jujube he had inquired about from others, and naturally he added fuel and jealousy, and the words were bloody and tearful.

After talking for a long time, the young man interrupted him impatiently, "Come on, my little dad is already asleep, so don't disturb him. I'll just accept him."

Xilang finally smiled, "That's good, that's good." He forced Zaozi's hand into the young man's hand, "I'll leave it to you. There will be a happy event in another family tomorrow, so I'll ask Come out of the mountain, Zaozi, remember to be more obedient."

After finishing speaking, he trotted away without waiting for Zaozi's response, for fear that the person would be pushed back into his hand again.

Looking at the red back, the boy snorted disdainfully, shook his hand, and said, "Come in."

The young man was so strong that Zaozi was almost thrown flying when he failed to stand still. He quickly got his footing and chased after him.

The yard is really big, and the real main entrance is at the end.The young man pushed open the door, and Zaozi followed in, quickly replaced the door and bolted it.

The young man paid attention to Zaozi's movements silently, and there was an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't know what it was laughing at.Zaozi, who was walking with her head buried, naturally didn't notice this detail, and followed the boy into the small corridor on the right.

The layout of the house is simple. After entering the gate, there is a courtyard. There are two rooms on the left and two rooms on the right. There is also a kitchen. Walking into the courtyard is a small main room, empty, with only a set of tables and chairs.

The young man led him into the innermost room on the right, "This is your room." It was dark and gloomy, with only a dilapidated wooden bed and a thin quilt covered in dust.

Zaozi picked up the quilt vigorously and shook it twice, coughing so much that he coughed. After shaking again, something fell on the bed and made a sound.The young man squatted down and moved closer to the torch. Zaozi could see clearly that it was a bone that was as long as an arm, and his legs went limp immediately. The young man also said, "Just a few words, this room was originally used to store corpses during the plague. My little dad and I only cleaned up the room we were going to sleep in, and this room is still the same. You should be careful when you sleep at night, and don’t disturb anything."

Zaozi was completely stunned, and the boy took the torch out without even stopping.Falling into complete darkness in an instant, Zaozi realized that even the moon and stars could not shine in this room.The bone was still on the ground, and thinking that it might be the bone of a dead person, Zaozi trembled so much that he could hardly even hold the quilt steadily.

He is afraid of the dark. Among the children who grew up in an orphanage that lacked electricity, there are not many who are not afraid of the dark, because the fear of the dark has long been engraved in their bones-most of them are left by their relatives at the courtyard gate in the dead of night of.

It was so thick that it couldn't be melted, and I couldn't see anything, and I didn't know what I would touch when I stretched out my hand.There was even a chilly wind blowing by his ears all the time, and he didn't dare to turn his head, for fear of "surprising something".

He was shaking so badly that he couldn't walk, and the bones were filled with fear, and finally he couldn't help crying.He didn't dare to cry. When he was a child, someone scared him that if he cried and cried, he would attract human traffickers, who would sell him to a place where no one could reach and cut him into pieces.So, he only clenched his fists, dragged the quilt and moved to the door, and pressed his back against the wall.He felt that something real was behind him, and he felt better.

The bone was swept off the bed just now, and he didn't dare to think about what else was on the bed, so he just wrapped himself up in the quilt, revealing a pair of red eyes that kept scanning the surroundings, even if he couldn't see anything.

Outside the door, at the same position by the door, the boy held the extinguished torch and stood quietly for a while before returning to his room.
