In the middle of the night, a voice suddenly came from behind, which shocked me. I turned my head abruptly, and at a glance, I saw that behind the shack, I didn't know when a team was standing to send off the relatives.
The sound of the babble had stopped, and there were about a dozen people in the family-sending team, and the one standing in the front was the old man fishing by the river that I met not long ago.
The old fishing man changed his costume and was standing behind the shack, squinting at me. Seeing the team following him, the hairs on my body stood up for an instant.
There were more than a dozen people standing askew behind the old fishing man, some of whom were holding loudspeakers, and four of them were carrying the sedan chair, which must be covered by the sedan curtain. These people, like the old fishing man, are all dressed in bright red dresses, but everyone's faces are pale. The bright red dress set off the white faces, which looked very permeating.
"Welcome to you? I don't know you." I suddenly remembered the red silk that I took out from the belly of the fish. This thing became more and more strange and made me very uneasy. I suddenly had no other thoughts, just thinking Let's run away.
I lifted my leg and jumped out for several steps. The old fishing man didn't chase me, but said leisurely behind him: "This is what Fu Qiandeng meant. If you want to run, do it with you."
The old fishing man's words were like an invisible fishing line that caught my footsteps, and I stopped involuntarily and looked back at him.
"Being a teacher for a day and a father for life. You can't help but listen to what the master said." The old fishing man turned his head and pointed to the stern sedan chair, and said, "The new wife is here for you. Live."
As soon as the old fishing man finished speaking, the group of rappers with suona gongs and drums behind him started to whine and beat again. My head was dizzy, and I was standing still at a loss. .
"If someone left for you, we just send off the relatives, and we don't care about other things."
"Wait!" I regained consciousness and asked, "Do you know my master? Who is the person you sent?"
"If you don't know your master, will you be entrusted by him?" The old fishing man asked the people behind him to put away the rattle in his hands, and as he walked, he said to me: "The bride is a distant cousin of Fu Qiandeng, and the fat does not flow to outsiders. Tian, I'm betrothed to you. You are a little older than you, and he looks very handsome."
When the old fishing man spoke, he took the family-sending team and left. I chased a few steps behind, wanting to ask the master again, but the other party didn’t know if he couldn’t hear me or would not answer. For a moment , Has gone far.
In the barren melon field, only me and the sedan chair were left. Up to now, I still don’t understand whether the old fishing man’s words are true or false, but just now something happened and he specifically mentioned the master.
, Anyway, I still have to take a look.
There was no movement in the sedan chair. After a while, I tentatively walked to the sedan chair. The old fishing man didn't know where he got it. The sedan chair must have been broken. The sedan bar was full of bug eyes, and the car was also in tatters, so it was directly covered with a large piece of red cloth.
When I walked to the sedan chair, there seemed to be a rustling noise in the sedan chair. To be honest, I still felt a little hairy, because I didn’t know the origin of the old fishing man, and I didn’t even know it, this tattered sedan chair. What's in it
But I have a feeling, I feel that I want to run too late now. Since the old fishing man can find me in this deserted melon field, he can still find me no matter how far I go.
With courage, I stretched out my hand and slowly grabbed the car curtain, and at the same time, I was ready to retreat at any time. Immediately afterwards, with a force on my hand, I lifted the car curtain swiftly.
When I lifted the sedan curtain, my eyes stopped immediately, and I didn't know whether I wanted to laugh or cry.
In the tattered sedan chair, there was a woman in a wedding dress, just like a bride. It can be seen that the bride carefully slapped her face before getting on the sedan chair, put on a new dress, and slightly applied powder on her face.
The bride is indeed just like the old fishing man said, the appearance is very reasonable, here in the river beach countryside, it is very beautiful.
However, the old fishing man did not tell the truth. He told me that the bride was a little older than me. But now, the bride in the sedan chair must be about forty years old, about the same age as my dead aunt.
I just felt dizzy, thinking about nothing, turned my head and left. After a few steps hurriedly, the woman in the sedan chair seemed to be unable to bear it, and shouted: "You... don't leave..."
"What are you doing?" I looked back. Under the moonlight, the woman's dress was red as if soaked in blood. I didn't stop, and said as I walked: "I don't know you, you leave you. I will go mine."
"I... I..." The forty-something woman hurriedly got down from the sedan chair, followed behind me, and said: "Cousin... Cousin asked me to marry you... Then I... I will follow you..."
"Don't follow me!" I felt dumbfounded again. The master was in a catastrophe, and my heart was already messed up, and I encountered this kind of unprovoked incident. Although the old fishing man said that this is what the master meant, I don't believe it at all.
"My name is Qingluo." The woman stepped forward but couldn't get rid of it. "I can do laundry and cook..."
I simply won't reply. This matter is against good and evil, not to mention that this is not what the master meant, even if it is what the master meant, I can't accept it. I'm less than 20 years old, marry a forty
A woman in the next year will have no face to behave if she speaks out.
I couldn't help speeding up and rushing along the deserted sandy land. The woman named Qingluo didn't stop, but she didn't run as fast as I could. She ran like this for a while and finally got rid of her.
The more I thought about it, the more I couldn’t see the shadow of Qingluo behind me, but I still didn’t dare to stop, and went straight to the beach, pushing the four sheep boat into the water, wanting to leave this place of right and wrong first.
The flood season is approaching, and the flow of the river is quite fierce. After the Siyang boat is launched, there is no need to paddle, and follow the current downstream, as long as you control the direction. I was sitting on the boat, floating alone in the big river under the moonlight, thinking about it, still wanting to get the master's body back.
At that time, I was ignorant and ignorant, and I couldn't say clearly. After I found the master, where should I go.
I floated slowly on the river all night, and the next day when the sky was dark, I docked the boat. Looking back, the river is like thousands of wild horses running off the rein, roaring, and in such a rushing river, the body must have been washed away one hundred and eight thousand miles away.
The current is so fast that you can only try your luck at Dahewan more than 20 miles downstream. There is a place where the river turns, and the water flow is slow. Sometimes things drifting down from the upper reaches will accumulate in the big river bend. Dahewan is also a place where many corpse collectors usually go, looking for the floating corpses they want to salvage in the river.
Driving the four sheep boat down the river, it didn't take long to reach Dahewan. Before and after the flood season, the boatmen who sail in the river will collect the boats to avoid the flood season. When I rushed to Dahewan, no one was visible on the surface of the empty river, and the corpse collectors stopped working.
There was nothing but a few debris in the river bend, which was washed away very close to the river bank. My strength seemed to be exhausted, and I was sleepy without sleeping all night. I left the Four Sheep Boat on the shore and wanted to find a place to catch up. No matter what I did next, I had to nurture my energy.
Going west from Dahewan, there is a deserted village about a few miles away. The village has a low terrain and is flooded every year during the flood season. The villagers can't stand it. The village was moved more than ten years ago, leaving only a crooked ruined wall. I came to Xiaohuang Village, cut a handful of grass, spread it in the sheep pen where the villagers used to raise sheep, and lay down in my clothes.
Although there were a lot of thoughts in my mind, I was too sleepy. After thinking about it for a while, I fell asleep. At the age of his body, he was very sleepy. After falling asleep, he didn't even dream, and he slept deadly.
After sleeping for a long time, I was awakened by a rustling sound. I opened my eyes in a daze, and the sky was already dark. Suddenly, I saw a person squatting on my left hand, and suddenly I was completely awakened. I pushed myself up with my hands and sat up directly.
