Chapter 26 People's Hearts Cold and Warm
It was getting later and later, and the rain in the village had faded, and only the raindrops fell. Taoer was so sleepy that she lay on the edge of the kang and fell asleep. Ye stared at the door anxiously and heard the noise outside, and hurriedly called out, "Xing'er? Is Xing'er back?"
Xu Laosan picked up the curtain of the inner room and came in, took off the bucket hat on his head, wiped the rain on his face, and shook his head and said, "I went to several intersections up the mountain, but I didn't see their shadow. I saw that the clouds on the other side of the mountain were still thick and dark. I'm afraid it was still raining heavily in the mountain."
Ye let out his breath and leaned back to the pile and said, "What can I do now? I shouldn't have agreed to let Xing'er run the mountain before. She is a girl and still so young. What if something happens?
"Don't think about it. I'll go to the old house to discuss with my father to see if I can ask some people to go up the mountain to look for it." Xu Laosan's words are just to comfort Ye. In such a rainy day at night, it is easy for people who have experience in running mountains to distinguish the direction and can't find a way. At this time, although entering the mountain is not absolutely dead, they almost think that they have lived for a long time.
Ye didn't expect so much at all. Hearing that he was going to ask someone to find Xing'er, he even nodded and told him, "You should be careful."
"Don't worry, it's okay." Xu Laosan tightened his legs again and walked out.
The old house is quite lively. The eldest and second are both there, accompanying the old Xu to play cards and playing with money. Surprisingly, even the fourth brother plays with them.
"Where does the sun come out today? Lao Si can actually touch cards. Isn't he just a flower shelf?"
"Go, I've won several games today. Don't bother me to touch the cards." Xu Laosi pushed Xu Laosan away, stared at the table and said, "Third brother, dodge, don't disturb me to touch the cards."
"Xing'er went up the mountain this morning and hasn't come back yet. I'm afraid that something will happen to her. Do you want to go up the mountain to find it?" Xu Laosan sat at the table and sighed.
As soon as he said this, Old Xu and Xu Laosi suddenly lost their interest in playing cards.
Old Xu threw the cards in his hand on the table and frowned and asked, "What did Xing'er do up the mountain? You adults don't care about it, just let her play around.
"She followed the mountain to run to the mountain and said she wanted to collect medicinal herbs, so I didn't stop it. Who knew it would rain so heavily in the afternoon." Xu Laosan lowered his head and said angrily.
Xu Laoer shouted aside, "Dad, what are you doing? I finally came to get a good card..."
"Get out of here!" Old Xu took a sip and said to Xu Laosan, "It's still raining outside now. Even if it doesn't rain, it's already night. Such a big forest, even if it scatters the whole village, it may not be effective. It's better to wait for her back at home."
Xu Laosan opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. Although he knew that it would be such a result, he felt very uncomfortable when he heard this from Lao Xu's mouth.
"What are you looking for? After such a long heavy rain, the sand and gravel on the mountain have long been loose, and the outside is as dark as the bottom of the pot. Don't lose yourself without finding her back." Mrs. Xu came from the West Room and glanced at Xu Laosan and said, "It's just a girl film. Why are you in a hurry? Look at your future. Maybe the mountain god likes her and leaves her in the mountain. If the mountain god is happy at that time, he will reward you and your son..."
Before Mrs. Xu finished speaking, she saw Xu Laosan stand up, turned his head calmly and walked out.
"What's your attitude, huh?" Mrs. Xu was unhappy. She saw that Xu Laosan had left without wearing it. She turned around and saw that Lao Xu's head was also waiting for him. Then she swallowed the scolding that had come to her mouth, but she still muttered in a low voice dissatisfiedly, "I'm just saying casually and throwing some face at me."
"You can't shut up!" Old Xu scolded and then asked, "Lao Si, I heard you say that Xing'er runs the mountain with someone you know?"
"It's the mountain in the village opposite the mountain. I know his uncle and he is a reliable child. Don't worry too much now. There are many places to shelter from the rain in the mountain. Maybe we can hide somewhere!" Xu Laoshi shook his mind and found that it was calling himself. He nodded quickly and said, "Now there is really no way to go up the mountain to find it. At that time, whether Xing'er can find it or not, the people who go may have an accident. Third Brother knows in his heart that he is just too worried and is chaotic."
Old Xu's head hummed, clicked a cigarette, and spit out a cigarette ring before he said, "I can't blame him. Your mother's words are too unpleasant."
Mrs Xu was unhappy to hear this, but she remembered that Lao Xu had just lost his temper with herself two days ago and dared not stand up again. She couldn't afford to lose her face in front of her sons, so she turned her head and went back to the West Room.
Xu Laoer practiced touching his hand on the table, rubbed the card with his thumb, rubbed it over suddenly for a while, and saw that it was the same as the color he had touched. He entertained himself and had fun.
He threw away a card he had just rubbed and picked up another one, but he didn't rub it. Suddenly, he looked up at Xu Laoshi and asked, "Lao, how are the conditions of Shanzi's family?"
"The Shanzi family has been running mountains since his grandfather. His father and he have been running the mountains since childhood. The land of the family has not been delayed. Every year, he can make a lot more money than others, and his family is much better than our family." Xu Laosi replied first, and then remembered to ask, "Second brother, why are you asking about this?"
Xu Laoer said, "I'm thinking that Xing'er and he are alone in the mountains to shelter from the rain. Do you want to have a reputation or something when you come back? Do I have to ask his family to propose marriage to Xing'er... Ouch... Dad, what are you doing?"
Without finishing his words, he was slapped on the back of his head. His teeth were suddenly bitten and almost bit off the tip of his tongue. His mouth was suddenly full of blood, which made him almost burst into tears.
"Bah!" He sped blood on the ground and said vaguely, "Dad, you are really cruel."
"Let your son of a bitch talk nonsense!" Old Xu's head kicked his buttocks, "It's raining much less outside. Go back to your house. Don't get angry with me in front of me."
"Got, I'm leaving now." Xu Laoer went down to the kang, stretched out, picked up the oil paper umbrella from the corner, pulled his shoes back to his home, and threw a mud point of his trousers and legs.
As soon as he was about to go to the kang, he was caught and scolded by Li: "My ancestor, I must have owed you in my last life. The bedding on the kang was just washed a few days ago, and you lay up with mud soup all over your body. Is this going to kill me so that I can find a young and beautiful woman?"
As he spoke, he pulled Xu Lao Er down. Seeing that he stood still, he reached out to pull his belt and planned to take off his trousers and soak it.
Xu Laoer lazily put his hand around her waist and said with a smile, "I don't have any copper money in my pocket. What's the matter marrying a young and beautiful woman?"
Li slapped his backhand and said with a frown, "So you mean, if you have money, you can look for it?"
"What am I looking for? Isn't it enough to have you, a bitch?" Xu Laoer stuck like cowhide candy, "You old woman, as soon as a man enters the door, you are in a hurry to untie your trousers and squeeze me to death every day. What can I take to find other little ladies..."
Li pretended to pull him twice, and lay on the kang half-pushingly. Just as he was about to open his mouth to say something, his voice suddenly changed his tone. When he recovered, he slapped Xu Laoer and said angrily, "You son of a dead man, what are you worried about?"
"Didn't you say that I'm looking for a little lady? I'll let you see my skills." Xu Laoer said and nibbled on Li's body.
The two tossed and turned on the kang for a long time. Xu Lao's body trembled, and his whole body softened down and lay on Li's body, but he didn't want to withdraw. He also nibbled and said, "Today, Xing'er went to the mountain with Shanzi, and he hasn't come back yet. I heard Lao Si say that Shanzi's family is in good condition, and the third family picked it up this time. Cheap, with Xing'er's fierce nature, she may not be able to find someone in a few years. Now with such a good opportunity, the Shanzi family can't refuse.
As soon as Li heard this, he suddenly raised his legs and kicked Xu Laoer off his body. He raised his hand and brushed his hair and asked, "Is the conditions of the Shanzi family good?"
"Well, Lao Si said so. His family farmed and ran mountains, and he had a lot of money." Xu Laoer was reluctantly kicked down. He seemed to be interested again. He turned over and hugged Li and asked for joy.
"You son of a man, get out of here." Li said angrily, "Since you know that Shanzi's family is in good condition, why don't you help your daughter plan? What you think about is other people's family. Is it possible that Xu Xinger is a wild seed of you and your third daughter-in-law?"
"Is this fucking human?" Xu Laoer scratched his neck and shouted, "This is not a catch up. That's what I said. You're in a hurry!"
"Go, there's nothing to say to a simple man like you." At this time, Li's mind has turned to kiss her daughter, put on her clothes and get up randomly, and figure out how to let Shanzi talk to her daughter.
When she thought of this, she turned her head and asked, "You drive me to their village tomorrow. Let's find out first."
Xu Laoer lay on his back on the kang and didn't want to say anything. He answered randomly and turned his head to look at Li. Seeing that she was only wearing a long dress and her legs were naked outside, he pulled the person back again. After a few times, he rolled around and said, "If you want to kiss your daughter or something, you might as well give birth to another child for me. The son is serious."
Li was originally a little tired and didn't want to continue. Hearing this, his heart was sad, and his body softened. He sighed, "How can a son be born if he wants to be born?"
