Eightieth bowl of soup (7)
Butler Huang dared to stare at Qinghuan, but he didn't dare to look at Guan Er. Not only did he not dare, he turned around and ran quickly, God knows how he would end up messing with this evil star.
After going out, seeing the new notice posted by the government, Qing Huan went over to look curiously, and Guan Er followed behind her. After she told him that the imperial court was recruiting soldiers, his eyes lit up immediately.
Even after returning home, Qing Huan could tell that he had something on his mind at a glance. She didn't dare to say that she knew everything about Guan Er, but she still knew what kind of person he was. He refused to go out at home when he was young, so how could he be willing to stay in a small village for the rest of his life
"Go whenever you want, it's better than being at home." After dinner, she sat under the lamp to mend the clothes he accidentally scratched while hunting, and said casually.
Guan Er was sitting on the threshold of the main room watching the moon in a daze, when she suddenly heard her say this, he was stunned, Qing Huan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and kept sewing, "I said, if you want to join the army, go and make meritorious deeds, Wouldn't it be great to earn a general back."
Guan Er thought about it seriously, and asked her: "If I become a general, will you be my wife?"
Qing Huan wiped the needles on her scalp, and said with a half-smile: "It's probably bigger than you who are white."
She just said it casually, but Guan Er believed it. He didn't know why my sister-in-law refused to live with him. He was obviously sincere, and my sister-in-law must know this too. Then she kept refusing to agree to him, was it because he had nothing but fists but couldn't make a name for himself? The more Guan Er thought about it, the more he was right, plus he already had a desire to kill in his heart, so he immediately decided to sign up tomorrow.
Qing Huan didn't stop him, it was his own choice, and it didn't matter if he left, her pure life would come back.
The next day Guan Er went hunting in the mountains as usual, and brought back a deer, a tiger, and a wolf cub whose eyes were still open. The little wolf cub is all gray and looks like a puppy, very cute. Qing Huan made a nest for it, and fed it boiled boar pork and rice. The little wolf cub wriggled its mouth and ate it little by little, licking Qing Huan's hand like a puppy.
Guan Er said that he picked it up. The female wolf died fighting with the tiger, and all the wolf cubs were killed by the tiger. She came back and raised her as a dog.
Only Guan Er can treat a wolf like a dog. In short, at present, Qing Huan doesn't feel that this is a little wolf at all. She just thinks that it is soft and tender, very cute, and she is not afraid, so she just raises it.
When Guan Er went to sell wild game in the town, he registered by the way. After returning, Qing Huan found that he was in a good mood, and she thought she could understand. Always living in such a place, the future is bleak, it is better to have a chance to rush. So she prepared dry food for Guan Er, made some new clothes, and sent him to join the army.
Before he left, he discussed with her that he wanted to move her, and he felt that it would not be good to continue living in the village. Qing Huan refused, she said: "I have a clear conscience and I have done nothing wrong. Who can say that I am wrong. I just won't leave, I just want to live here. If they are not happy, just come to me , I'll wait here."
She has a stubborn personality and says what she says, but Guan Er is no match for her.
After going back and forth, the little wolf gradually grew up, and it was time for Guan Er to set off.
On the day he left, the weather was very good, and the sun was very comfortable on his body. Qing Huan sent him to the entrance of the village, watched him gradually disappear from sight on his horse, and turned around slowly. After returning home, the little wolf had fun around her. Although it was a wild beast, it became much more docile after being raised by her for so long, but the wildness was still there. With the little wolf, Qing Huan didn't think she could be bullied by anyone. The man came and went, and made a fresh dinner for Little Wolf.
After a few months like this, it was rare for her parents to come to the door again. They were afraid of dying when they were in Guan Er, so they didn't dare to come. Qing Huan still made a meal for them, and packed some food after the meal, but she didn't know Why do parents seem to hesitate as if they have something to say.
She asked directly, "Is there anything else?"
Qing Huanniang coughed and said tentatively: "That's right, girl, you can't be a widow all your life... Look, Guan Er is gone..."
"I have nothing to do with Guan Er. Whether he goes or not is his business. I think being a widow is good." Qing Huan bent down and tied the bag to her father who was standing beside her, "Guan Da is not dead yet. For three years, I have no other plans for the time being."
"Girl, tell Dad, do you really think that Guan Er can come back?" I heard that the battle outside was fierce, and many people died. No matter how powerful Guan Er was, he couldn't fight against him alone There are thousands of troops and horses, maybe they died outside early.
Qing Huan told them very seriously: "I really didn't want to wait for Guan Er. He has been home for so many days. When did you hear that I have a relationship with him? Besides, when he goes to the battlefield, that is Those who defend the country will die for the country even if they die.”
"Oh, then it's not easy for you to live alone all the time. What will you do when you get old?"
Qing Huan always seems to be hiding her mother's words, so she simply asked: "Did someone approach you as a matchmaker? If you just refuse, I won't remarry."
The old couple looked at each other with a bit of worry. They all knew that the daughter had ideas since she was a child, and the family owed her a good life, but this time people can say no. "It's Yuanwai Huang... He insists on marrying you. I told your mother, but he didn't listen, and asked us not to toast or eat fine wine."
Qing Huan sneered: "I just don't want to marry, I want him to stop wishful thinking, the toad wants to eat swan meat, the answer will be the same a few more times."
Qing Huan's parents are used to listening to her, they have nothing to say, and they can only refuse one more time after they go back, but Huang Yuanwai is such an easy-going person, what he likes is Qing Huan's appearance, and he treats her repeatedly Not rewarding face is also annoyed, and coupled with the previous enmity, I really hate it to the bone.
It was probably winter again, Guan Er had been away for almost two years, when Qing Huan was sleeping at night, the door of her house was kicked open, Li Zheng rushed in with a group of people holding torches, yelling that she was a whore who had committed adultery with her brother-in-law. Put her in a pigpen to maintain the village's reputation.
Qing Huan's clothes were neatly dressed, and the people in the village were overwhelmingly black. They all obeyed Li Zheng's words, and took advantage of Yuanwai Huang. Tonight, Qing Huan must be put to death.
Someone said: "Our village has not had a good harvest for several years. You must have angered God! God has punished us!"
"Yes! First kill Guan Da, and then commit adultery with Guan Er, it must be because of you that we can't live a good life!"
"That's right! How can a normal person have that kind of fragrance! It's a monster! She's a broom star! She's ruined our village!"
"Soak the pig cage! Soak the pig cage! Appease the wrath of God!"
"Soak the pig cage! Soak the pig cage!"
For a time, the crowd was furious.
This is true. In the past few years, it can be said that there has been no harvest in the village, especially the war outside, and they dare not even go out to ask for a living. They didn't know why, so they could only blame Qing Huan for the crime.
Because of her natural fragrance, she was regarded as a fairy sent from heaven, and now because of this fragrance, she was also regarded as an alien, a bastard, everyone shouted and killed her, and wanted to soak her in a pig cage.
Qing Huan stood where she was, she had no fear or uneasiness, her dark eyes sparkled against the backdrop of ice and snow in the dark night. She seemed to be able to see through everyone's true thoughts, and slowly smiled. "Mediocrity and stupidity are the greatest sins of mankind."
This eerie calm shocked the villagers present, and many even felt uneasy. The cold wind blew Qing Huan's long hair, and her beautiful face seemed to melt into one with the ice and snow, just looking at each of them indifferently and indifferently.
The little wolf snuggled up to her lap, whimpering softly. Qing Huan looked around at the villagers present, there were men and women, old and young, some of them were malicious towards her, some were just here to join in the fun. But everyone's goal is the same, which is to put her to death.
She bent down and patted the little wolf's head, telling him to run for his life. But the little wolf pressed his limbs tightly on the ground and refused. It was already an adult male wolf, with a strong body, but compared with so many villagers holding weapons, it was still weak and terrifying.
Humans are the most intelligent creatures in the world. Wisdom endows them with talents that are different from other animals. At the same time, it also gives them the bloodthirsty and cruelty buried deep in their hearts while possessing reason and civilization, as well as repelling dissidents and eliminating differences.
"Widow Guan, do you recognize—"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, don't you find it annoying to talk about those long stories?" Qing Huan looked at Li Zheng, "Besides, who are you trying to deceive." Everyone knew it well, and everyone present took Gained the benefits of Yuanwai Huang.
She avoided the person who came forward to tie her up, "I will go by myself."
Surrounded in the middle, she walked outside, and then looked back at the home.
All the way to a pool in the center of the village, it was freezing cold, the water had already frozen, and someone was digging a hole in it, and the pig cage was taken to one side, and Qing Huan was about to be tied up and thrown into it.
But she stepped back, her eyes once again slowly and gently looked at the faces of everyone present, her parents and brothers were also there, no matter how good she was to them, they would abandon her when faced with threats .
After reading them one by one, it seems like you want to keep them in your heart forever. Qing Huan smiled and looked up at the sky.
This was the last memory she had of this world when she was alive.
She jumped down by herself, and from the beginning to the end, she was not touched by anyone, and no one dirty her body.
The little wolf whimpered and lay on the ice, stretching out his paws to reach it.
The surrounding villagers held torches and slowly dispersed, no one noticed.
The little wolf froze to death on the ice.
In the freezing weather, the bone-piercing aroma gradually dissipated.
