Night of Wind and Snow (Part 2)
Chapter 2:Night of Wind and Snow (Part 2)
The Lujiazhuang in the moonlight is particularly quiet, the scattered snow is contrary to the faint white light, and the cold wind and starry sky are unusually clean. !
A carriage, oh no, it was a cattle car, walking slowly down the country lane.
The owner of the cattle is dressed in cloth, but the cleanness of the clean, a pair of slightly black silver-plated bracelets looks a little compact, it seems that some years, and now it has become less handy.A golden top tuft between the buns slightly swayed slightly, quite modest, but only her own heart knows: it is not a "real gold".
It is difficult to get far away, this time it is all the cheap jewelry that she has been pressing the box for many years.
The car was occupied by Lu Benyou's cousin Gong Wang, Lu Chen's aunt, Lu Chen's aunt, Lu Chen's child's aunt.She had been on the road for more than three days, and she was going to Lujiazhuang.
The scalp cow is gentle and walks steadily, Gong Wang's son also gave the cattle car with a wooden stick bracket, the outer edge with a thick thick cloth wrapped, so that you can resist the cold wind, and then put a small charcoal pot inside, but less wind and cold, a little more warm.
This woman, who was called by the child, was actually only about 40 years old, and she was told that her aunt was from Lu Benyou.
Gong Wang's head, such as body, and other postures, is also a lack of women, but she is strong, bold, brute force is not small, and the amount of alcohol is amazing, quite "man" wind, on weekdays, the villagers will treat her as a man's general joke, if not different from clothing and jewelry, at first glance, Gong Wang's fear is really difficult to relate to women.
At this moment, she is complaining about this damn weather, and the reason why she is still on the road in the middle of the night is unlucky.
The big scalpers were frightened and the bullshoes slid, the wheels were trapped in the earth pit and could not walk, there were few pedestrians under the snow, and Gong Wang was waiting for nearly three hours in the same place, and finally it was difficult to meet two passers-by to help push the wheel out.
There was no shop in the village, she thought for a moment, and finally decided to continue to behave well, so that she could see his cousin earlier, and Lu's can give birth at any time, delaying.
The wise woman used some coarse linen strips to tie the four hooves tightly, both cold and slippery, which came all the way.
"The mother-in-law gave people a few big money, must find a cousin to double back me", Gong Wang's whole hair: "If it is not a delay, dinner time can almost come, think of this hot wine hot dishes...", Gong Wang's hungry cooing, only have to take out the dry food mat bar mat.
Gong family from Lujiazhuang is too far, early morning even if there is no delay to the evening after three days to arrive, there is still a place to rest, all the way to Lauton is tired, but at this moment the "Gong bold" is not tired.
It all started with his cousin.
What can a village woman like her do?The family is a nest, and it is not easy to be a relative with a court officer like a cousin, even if he resigns, it is still Yu Wei, usually too late, now there is a chance to move, can not care?
Before she came to Lujiazhuang, once when Luzen was married, and once was the day of Lujia's relocation.This late night rush, she is no stranger, the moon is bright, occasionally scattered snow embellishment, is to open the way for her.
From a distance, I saw the Lujia courtyard, it was difficult to find the house in the courtyard under the high wall, I just wanted to knock on the door, but I saw the door hidden, pushed the door and found that the lights in my cousin's house were actually on: Wouldn't it be waiting for me?
Gong Wang's family tied the cow to the wooden pile at the door, took care of nothing else, went directly to the light, his mouth and legs were fast, and the people did not come and said first: "Oh, cousin, this weather, the road is delayed..."
There was no answer...
Some strange, knocking on the door, still no one answered, she pushed the door in.
There was no one inside the house, Gong Wang's family hurried to the outside of the house, knocking on the door one by one, and no one answered in the other houses.
Unsurpended, I saw the bloodstained in the yard.
Are there thieves?S-A people?
But if it is a s-A person, what about the body?
After all, the village woman is a village woman, did she think: if the real corpse is now, she can still be so calm?
Unexpectedly, but listening to the big scalper "suddenly" called a few times, Gong Wang rushed to the cow's head: After all, this is also a living thing.
I thought to myself: Do you want to scream for help?
This idea was quickly dispelled: if the evil man had left the village after the murder had been completed, and the villagers called me to think of me as the perpetrator, but how was it?At this time, my cousin's family has no one, who will testify for me?
Deserving of the "man" of women, at this moment Gong Wang's family can still be composure, change to others, and escape early.
Escaped?Yes, run away...
The king quickly untied the rope and prepared to turn the car back.
Suddenly, the baby crying came from the house, yes, it was a cry, a few more, she was sure.
Was the child born?Why didn't you hear it?Yes, except for the cousin's house, the other houses just knocked on the door and did not go in.
This is the cry of the baby, the cry of the people, the so-called human nature, the village woman has more courage: at this moment she is more convinced that the perpetrators have left.
Gong Wang finally picked up his legs, took the oil lamp from his cousin's house, and walked along the house where the sound was made.
Inside the house, a heat came on the face, the cold and heat added up, the village woman felt a burning pain in her face, and the table and chair were turned over to the ground but no one was seen.Gong Wang suspected her ears, but at this moment, she really heard wrong, and she turned her head again.
The same voice once again reached Gong Wang's ears, following the reputation, but the voice was made in a pile of wood stacks in the corner.
Gong Wang's quick step before desperately dialing the wood grass, a small bamboo basket into her eyes, carrying the bamboo basket, she obviously felt the excessive weight...
He was wrapped in a small quilt, but Gong Wang's close look was really a boy.
A small bag under the bamboo basket, probably because of the hurry, the cloth bag is not pierced: shaking, strange sound?Touching, a familiar feeling?
The king’s eyes widened: Why is there so much silver?This is enough to eat for years...
Is it?Is this a cousin’s order?
Gong Wang thought: Come to Lujiazhuang is in accordance with his cousin's instructions, he naturally knows that I will go to the Lu family in these two days, the child is hidden here, is it left to me?
In this way, now this Tibetan silver left more to their own can be said, and his cousin knows that her family's life is not good.
There is silver, and it is more life-saving: take the child and hurry.
Gong "bold" did not hesitate: clothes, small was put away, the child was re-packed, only open the mouth and nose; take a small bag, the charcoal in the house is full of prosperity, she gave the cattle car a new fire pot, prepared charcoal.
The stove?Take a pot of water, there are a few chickens on the table.
The child was holding the cow cart and off the curtain, and Gong Wang's family hurried out of the door.
Cultivating cattle knows the road, walking slowly in the direction of coming, and at this moment Gong Wang's family is only willing to leave this place quickly.I hope my cousin's family is well, but I don't know how this child has not been found.
Too many incredible!
The moonlight of the Lujiazhuang is still so quiet, during the day Lu Benyou family lively extraordinary, everyone's dinner is let go to eat, after the fullness of the wine and food home is to cry to sleep.Many people sleep according to the scene of that lively table, rare wine and meat pipe enough fun...
In contrast to a small or small family under the mountain, it is also an ordinary night for other villagers.
After leaving Lujiazhuang, a long and difficult trip, I don't know how long, I finally saw the morning light, when the first light of the morning sprinkled, Gong Wang finally regained his mind, the child is still deep sleep, occasionally lips, but also make her no comfort.
"Cousin must be alive, he is the court officer, the perpetrator will be caught by the official government, his day cousin will come to me, I have brought his little grandson to merit, then the cousin's reward for more than a bag of silver", Gong Wang's wise thought: As the saying goes, live to see people die to see the body, cousins did not find the body, there must be hope, she is more sure of this.
"The old lady saw the big world this time, and when she returned, she could talk to the gentlemen in the village, who has the courage of the old lady?"The king regained her self-righteousness.
No, this matter can never be said, otherwise the people of the government will ask me for half a day, because I have been to the Lu family alone...
"The old lady is not only bold, but also the brain is good", in the constant conversion between boldness and wisdom, Gong Wang's family once again felt smart, they are speechless.
Must insist on staying home as soon as possible is the key, think of this she chewed chicken legs, but also do not forget to open the kettle with a small bowl to give the child's mouth a few drops of water.
In order to be safe, Gong Wang decided to eat and sleep in the car, the road can buy some to eat hot water, day and night to go back.
They were all from the past, she naturally knew how to coax the child, brought diapers and clothes when she came out of the Lu family, the cattle car was not cold, but the child could drink water and some vegetable porridge soup.
The big scalper wronged her, in addition to drinking water and replenishing some hay, Gong Wang's pained it, so he let it rest for a while while eating.
The next day, several women who met the village mouth and also held the child were chatting under a shed, and Gong Wang's eyes looked at one of his women's rounded body and knew that it should be milky, saying that the child in his arms was his own little grandson.They were all strangers, and they did not know each other, and Gong Wang's family had to eat a full meal with a child who had exchanged chickens.
The original three-day journey, Gong Wang's day and night, so that the second day evening can return to the village.
From sunrise to sunset, a cattle car, a newborn child and his old aunt driving in the country path, Gong Wang's heart is sometimes excited, sometimes afraid, sometimes without master, sometimes full of confidence.
But at this moment, it can't be much, and after returning home, it is a long-term solution.Children want breast milk, they just had a baby breastfeeding woman in their village, can only ask them to help, this matter can not be delayed.
Another day of tumult, the night came again.
The moonlight came out, the wind rose again, the north wind outside the window seemed to sweep like a sharp knife, an ordinary small mountain village, every family lit up the oil lamp, and by dinner, there was no scene in the house.
Each family or three or four people or six or seven bowls of chopsticks, sitting on the floor, relying on the small stool wooden table, although it is coarse tea light rice, rice porridge, simple and simple, but also added a lot of popularity, quite warm.
A car is slowly moving into the village.
