Liaojiazhai is one of the largest villages in the Outer Xing'an Mountains.
During the Dragon King Festival in previous years, more than 300 households in the village were able to make flowers together, which was the most lively scene in Waixing'an Mountains.
During this period of time, before the Dragon King Sacrifice was held in the Liao Family Village, the Dragon King's envoy announced another matter.
He wants to settle in the Liao family village.
This is a great event!
It is a great blessing that the envoy of the Dragon King settles down in Liaojiazhai!
It can be said that settlement is not just a matter of a few tile-roofed houses.
When a woman or child is tied to him, that is called real settlement.
The people in the village heard the strings and knew the elegant meaning, and knew that the envoy of the Dragon King was going to marry a wife and have children here.
As soon as the news spread, everyone in the village who had an unmarried girl was impatient.
The matchmaker made repeated trips, almost leveling the threshold of the Dragon King's envoy.
As a result, after two or three days of tossing, the envoy of the Dragon King spoke again through the matchmaker.
After hearing this, the people in the village all picked Thumbs up.
The envoy of the Dragon King is very particular!
Yellow flowers are not wanted by women, old couples and young wives will be widows in the future.
New widows within three years are also not wanted. They still have a dead husband in their hearts, and they are still very young.
The envoy of the Dragon King has not taken advantage of the village for decades. Now that he is over 50 this year, he is so particular about how to find a wife, and the people in the village are very convinced.
However, when he threw out these few requirements, there were not many people in the village who met the requirements, except for Widow He.
When Widow He was young, she was the most beautiful woman in the village, with dark eyes, a face as white as snow, and braided hair that was shiny black.
What's even more rare is that this woman is literate, which is rare here.
But now, her husband has been dead for nearly ten years, and she herself is in her early thirties, and she is as if she has changed because of the hard life, she is old and pale.
Five years ago, she went up the mountain to cut firewood, and broke her leg, which made her disabled and limped when she walked.
To promise this person to the envoy of the Dragon King, everyone in the village felt that it was inappropriate and unworthy of him!
As a result, the village head bit the bullet and told the envoy of the Dragon King, the envoy of the Dragon King immediately made a decision that it was her.
So what do you say? Get to work now!
This year, the Dragon King Sacrifice in Liaojiazhai was held together with the marriage of the Dragon King's envoy, a real double happiness.
Everyone worked together, and on the east side of the stockade, the small wooden house where the envoy of the Dragon King used to stay was changed into three large tile-roofed houses with green bricks.
From now on, this is his and Widow He's home.
Of course, widow He can no longer be called this woman in the future, she is now the real daughter-in-law of the Liu family.
…
This morning, the chimney of the dragon king's envoy Liu Shunfu's house was emitting smoke early.
On the stove, a limping woman was making breakfast.
Since this woman remarried, in just a few days, it was as if she had taken a elixir, and her whole face was radiant.
Her original man died, and her life has long since lost hope. The person in my heart can't be seen a few times a year.
Now that I got what I wanted, my physical and mental state is of course different, as if I was ten years younger, the braids are combed again, and my face is even more rosy.
Compared with when she was not married back then, her legs are not so good, but everything else is not bad at all.
After the couple had finished their breakfast, the woman was about to clean up the dishes when Liu Shunfu grabbed her wrist.
"Old man, didn't you think it was enough last night?" The woman glanced at Liu Shunfu with disgust in her mouth, but a red cloud flew up on her face, and she looked at Liu Shunfu with winking eyes.
Liu Shunfu shook his head with a smile, pointed to the opposite bench, and said kindly, "Sit."
"Hey." The woman responded softly, and sat down obediently.
The man in front of me is actually fine.
Although he is older, his physical strength is stronger than that of young people in their twenties. When the lamp is blown at night, it can toss her to death, with that kind of energy, just like an animal.
But he usually treats himself very gently.
It's so gentle, so gentle that it's kind of polite.
Now that the two of them are husband and wife, this kind of politeness seems strangely divided.
But the woman didn't think much about it, she just felt that this man had been a bachelor for so many years, so he might not be used to the life between young couples.
Take your time.
At this time, the hand was held by the man's big rough hand, and the woman's heart beat fast, like a deer bumping wildly.
Now that she is all over her body, she cannot be touched by this person, as long as she is touched, there will be a reaction.
Soon, she sensed something was wrong.
She knew the way this man held her wrist.
That's the technique of the doctor in the village. The index finger and middle finger press the door of one's own pulse, which is called pulse.
"What's wrong?" The woman panicked, and touched her face with one hand, "Am I sick?"
"No." Liu Shunfu seemed to confirm something, withdrew his hand, and said with a smile, "You are very good."
After saying this, Liu Shunfu stood up.
"Where are you going?" The woman's expression tightened, and she also stood up, "Isn't the Dragon King Festival over?"
"It's over, it's over." Liu Shunfu smiled, "But I'm going to meet the Dragon Lord and talk about the things you entrusted to me."
"Where does Lord Dragon live? Is it far away?" the woman asked curiously.
"Lord Dragon lives in Dragon City." Liu Shunfu said, "It's actually not far away, but ordinary people can't find it, and they can't get in."
"Oh..." The woman nodded after hearing this: "Then when will you come back?"
"Three to five days." Liu Shunfu walked out the door, then seemed to remember something, turned around and said, "Remember to take out that quilt to dry it."
"Yeah!" The woman responded.
When Liu Shunfu went out, the woman began to clean up the dishes on the table.
Just tidying up quickly, she felt something in her heart, and when she looked up, she found that Liu Shunfu was looking at her from the window.
However, Liu Shunfu's gaze was very strange, he was not looking at her face, but at her lower abdomen.
The woman's face turned red immediately, she clutched her belly, and glared at Liu Shunfu.
Liu Shunfu looked at her again, for some reason, at the moment when the eyes met, she felt that this man seemed to have something to say to her.
But he didn't say anything after all, just smiled and led the donkey away.
…
Leading the donkey out of Liao's village, Liu Shunfu's expression quickly turned gray.
He bent over and arched his back, coughing a few times.
Stepping on the back of the donkey, Liu Shunfu said, "Let's go."
Unexpectedly, the donkey refused to leave, and stayed there motionless.
Liu Shunfu was slightly taken aback, but soon understood, he smiled wryly and said, "It is said that good intentions are the liver and lungs of a donkey. I didn't expect you, a donkey, to know some things about people."
"I know, you miss her well, why don't I?"
"She is a miserable person. But don't worry, I have hidden a picture in that quilt, which clearly marked the belongings I have accumulated over the years."
"This money, as long as she is smart enough, is enough for the two of them to live for a lifetime."
"Do you think her leg was really broken when she went up the mountain to chop wood?"
"She was able to stay widowed for ten years in this poor country, she is by no means an ordinary woman."
"My Liu family's seed can only give birth to such a woman."
"Donkey, let's go quickly. If you delay any longer, she will find out when she is drying the quilt, and when she catches up, I may not be able to harden my heart and leave here."
"It's good for me to die with her, but for her, it's just a sad thing."
While speaking, Liu Shunfu slapped the donkey's ass with his palm.
The donkey finally started to walk forward with a bell tied around its neck.
The tinkling bells sounded for the last time in the Outer Xing'an Mountains.
