Daughter's Forest (7)

On the stormy night just now, on the way back, he had an evil idea. If Xiaohua lets the rushing rain slide into the roadside stream, she will save her at the critical moment of her life. If you try your best to protect her like that, can you win Xiaohua's heart back?

19

These two days are sunny, followed by continuous rain. This is perhaps the most typical feature of the climate in Chunshan, Dongchi.

After his father died, Wu Zhili and Xiaohua stayed at home until the seventh day, so she went to her home with Xiaohua and visited her home from time to time. Xiaohua is worried that the house will be deserted if nobody cares about it.

During the day, she still returned to Jiang for her production team to participate in labor. She was never married, and she still belongs to Jiang's production team.

Xiaohua believes that if married, the old cow and the one-year-old calf will still be released by themselves. As long as the team knows, the captain will agree.

Xiaohua sometimes walks through the cowshed. The old cow stuck her head out of the cowshed, looked up and howled at her, sticking out her tongue and licking her little hand. The old cow looked at her with love. The calf will also bark at her, Cleisthenes. The feelings between people and animals are so clean and simple. She doesn't want to feed her old cows and calves for many years.

When it was getting dark, it suddenly rained heavily, and the wooden wall and tile eaves of Mokpo Street slammed together. Suddenly, Mokpo Street was soaked in the pouring rain.

Followed by rumbling thunder. Thunder splits the misty mountain forest, and lightning sweeps across the town. This is the scene of Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night.

"This is the first thunderstorm since the beginning of spring this year." Wu Zhili stood at the window and looked out.

"I want to go home and see. Such a heavy rain. " Xiaohua came over and looked at the pouring rain under the eaves.

"I'll go with you. Did your roof leak last autumn? " Wu Zhili immediately went to the corner of the room, took off the hemp fiber hat hanging on the wall and asked.

"No," Xiaohua replied, taking the hat and hemp fiber handed by her mother-in-law.

"It's in trouble. Maybe a room is full of water. "

As he spoke, two women hurried out of the door in the heavy rain with hemp fiber and hats.

The pouring rain penetrated into the clothes inside from the hats and hemp fiber of two women. The two women's clothes were soon soaked one by one.

"Aunt, where are you going in such a heavy rain?" Li Ka-shing stood under his own roof and called them.

"To see the little house. Maybe a room is full of water. " Wu Zhili answered loudly in the rain.

"Want to help? Let me go with you. "

"Good ah. Thank you. " Wu Zhili answered happily.

When her mother-in-law and Li Ka-shing asked and answered questions, Xiaohua didn't answer. She raised her eyelids and glanced at Li Ka-shing.

Li Ka-shing turned into the room, put on his raincoat and rain boots, and followed the two women towards Jiang Guwan Xiaohua's home.

The rain is getting bigger and bigger, and the rainwater flowing out of the forest valley flows into the stream in the forest and grass, making a rushing sound. The roadside stream churned out turbid white waves in the hazy night.

Fortunately, it came in time, and there was no water in the room as they said. However, there are still several leaks, and several water injections have fallen from the cracks in the roof eaves.

Three people use a bucket to catch the leak first.

"What about the long pole?" Li Ka-shing asked Xiaohua.

"Put it on the beam of the room. I'll get it. " Xiaohua answered Li Ka-shing and turned to walk in the hall.

"I'll go."

Li Ka-shing said, and followed Xiaohua into the room. In mountainous and rainy areas like Dong Tang, long bamboo poles for roofing tiles are a necessity for every family, and some families have more than one.

Xiaohua climbed the ladder on the beam, and Li Ka-shing held the ladder below.

Xiaohua is standing on the ladder with her feet in front of Li Ka-shing. Li Ka-shing wants to hug Xiaohua tightly, even if one of her feet is in front of him. He held back his impulse. He reached out and grabbed Xiaohua's foot.

"Bonus, it's time for you to find someone." Xiaohua reached out and took out the long pole across the floor beam, handed it to the following Li Ka-shing, looked at him as if nothing had happened, and loudly said. Xiaohua didn't move his foot, let Li Ka-shing's hand catch it.

"Mom, you are a matchmaker. My aunt's niece is bent on marrying our Mudian Street in Dongtang. When are you free, take her home to show Jia Cheng's parents. " Xiaohua stood on the ladder and turned to her mother-in-law.

"oh? Many girls are addicted to it and want to marry our Mokpo Street. I have seen that girl. She is a good girl. It looks really good. " Wu Zhili should track.

Xiaohua must have told her mother-in-law. Wu Zhili said that? Li Ka-shing looked up at Xiaohua and thought.

When Xiaohua came down with the ladder, she gently moved a waste and let Li Ka-shing let go.

Ten thousand people in Li Ka-shing's heart don't want to talk about another Mao Se girl with their old lover on this stormy night. He really wants to take this opportunity to talk to Xiaohua and pour out his heart to her.

"Did your aunt please give it to you?" Wu Zhili asked her daughter-in-law.

"hmm." Xiaohua should give a cry and hold the ladder down.

"If the bonus is willing, I don't know how happy they will be. Will treat you as a benefactor. I will do my best to be good to you all my life. " Wu Zhili looked at Li Ka-shing and said with interest.

Li Ka-shing didn't answer Wu Zhili. He smiled stiffly, took Xiaohua's shoulder pole and didn't leave immediately. When Xiaohua went downstairs to himself, he leaned his upper body to Xiaohua as if to hug, almost snuggling together. The two men looked at each other face to face.

A strong lightning lit up Li Ka-shing's face, and Xiaohua saw Li Ka-shing staring at his eyes with eager eyes.

"The girl in the mountains, diligent, married that take the door, life is comfortable. Better than anything. " As soon as Xiaohua's feet landed, she loudly repeated what she had praised that girl in Niulaoshan that day.

She spoke loudly on purpose, then turned and left Li Ka-shing. It seems that she can't tell the line between the people she is talking to. Is she talking to her mother-in-law? Or talk to Li Ka-shing. She would rather tell Li Ka-shing what she said than her mother-in-law. But now Li Ka-shing is still indifferent to his suggestion.

"The thunder just now seems to have cracked the roof." Wu Zhili looked up and whispered to the room next door where she used to live, "I said you are old, so go ahead." Bless Obana, your son-in-law David. David, when you are old, you have mourned for you from the first seven days. "

Wu Zhili looked at the landlord's pillar room, folded his hands, and kept bending down to do a series of prayers. Maybe my in-laws are still at home. Maybe his soul is hidden somewhere in this room, just invisible.

After a flash of lightning flashed across the night sky, it was followed by deafening thunder, which seemed to chop directly from the roof. It rained heavily and the wind blew over the roof, which seemed to lift the house. Wu Zhili trembled with fear.

"Ah ..." Wu Zhili exclaimed, and walked beside Li Ka-shing. "It is a good thing that you have come. Such a big thunder and such a big storm. This room is empty, I don't know where to hide it ... "

"Spring thunder is so loud this year?" Li Ka-shing couldn't help talking. "The thunder this spring seems to be earlier than last year? First of all, it is such a deafening spring thunder rolling, stormy weather. Those who walk at night tonight will suffer. "

He had an epiphany from being immersed in his own world, and he felt something was wrong.

"People who scratch their feet will run to the side of the road and hide in their own homes. Two people were struck by lightning last spring. One of them came from Ao, Mao Se, or in broad daylight, picking up vegetable seedlings in the field ... "Wu Zhili said. She looked around in a panic for a while and said to Xiaohua, "Xiaohua, I'd better take you to your father's house." "

Xiaohua put down her work, let Wu Zhili stagger along, and took her arm to her father's former room.

Wu Zhili's fear also infected Xiaohua, who felt a chill. On the way here just now, the rain wet the clothes outside, but the clothes inside were still dry. It's March in spring, and she is still wearing a sweater. Li Ka-shing wore only a blue shirt.

Perhaps tonight is not just the roar of thunder and fog, the roar of the storm, but also a man who just died in this room a few days ago-his father. This man has suffered too much suffering and humiliation in this world.

I don't know how much anger and pain he has in his heart. Although he died with a dignified and serene expression, it may be his joy on the road to happiness after his liberation from life to death.

But he still wants to pour out his anger and pain to the world on this stormy night. Thought of here, Xiaohua began to cry. The rain and tears that just leaked on her face are blurred and mixed together, and she can't tell whether it is rain or tears.

Wu Zhili, with her little flower, knelt down and bowed to the bed in the column. May Xiaohua live an ordinary life as an ordinary person.

If there is any disaster, like the vegetable garden behind this house, when there is a famine, as long as seeds are sown in the ground, vegetables will soon grow and help people tide over the difficulties.

Wu Zhili and Xiaohua stood up after kowtowing. Xiaohua took out her handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face.

Li Ka-shing carefully pulled the roof tiles on the rafters with a long pole. When the rain stopped, he put the long bamboo pole vertically in the corner downstairs, instead of putting it back on the ground beam, so as to facilitate the next access. After the first heavy rain in spring, heavy rain will continue to come.

He went to the back room, and Wu Zhili and Xiaohua talked from time to time while packing. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are like a pair of mother and daughter who are chatting affectionately and are particularly close.

It seems that Xiaohua has been integrated into the family life of fool Wei. The relationship between husband and wife with fool Wei is lifelong. Even after death, Xiaohua still exists in the name of the wife of fool Wei, who is accompanied by Xiaohua's husband.

"Fortunately, there are bonuses. I am most afraid of thunder. The only thing in my world is the fear of thunder. I don't know what kind of bad things I have done in my life. "

Wu Zhili said, his hands folded quickly and made a gesture outside the door.

"Bonus, your clothes are all wet." Wu Zhili shouted to Li Ka-shing.

"It's okay. I haven't been caught in the rain for a long time. This rain is very pleasant. " Li Ka-shing answered loudly, as if to shout it out.

"Did Xiaohua just say that you were so happy to help you on a blind date?"

"..." Li Ka-shing didn't know how to answer. He just wanted to hear the thunder overhead and the rain pouring down in the sky.

Xiaohua wiped the rain on her face and looked at her mother-in-law with her eyes half open. She didn't expect her mother-in-law to say such a thing A careless mother-in-law will not doubt herself and Li Ka-shing.

She turned to look at Li Ka-shing again. Li Ka-shing turned his head to one side. After coming down from the ladder, Li Ka-shing's eyes kept away from her.

Xiaohua stepped aside and poured some leaked water into a bucket. Just now, Li Ka-shing successfully blocked the leak with a bamboo pole, and no rain fell from the roof rafters.

The rain weakened, the house was cleaned up properly, and after locking the door, the three returned to Mokpo Street.

Along the way, Kobanawa Li Ka-shing pondered his thoughts. Only Wu Zhili has been talking between Li Ka-shing and Xiaohua. Of course, what she said most was to thank Li Ka-shing.

Wu Zhili doesn't care why they don't talk.

When passing by Li Ka-shing's house, Wu Zhili stopped and turned to Li Ka-shing and said, "Jia Cheng, go inside first. I really appreciate it． If it hadn't been for your help in the past, we two women wouldn't have got it. "

"Do you want me to take you?" Li Ka-shing stopped to ask Wu Zhili, but his eyes quickly glanced at Xiaohua.

"Don't need it. Only a few steps away, all on the same street. You are soaked to the skin, so go home and change. " Wu Zhili said gratefully to Li Ka-shing.

"That's good. I will go home first. " Li Ka-shing lay down and walked to his door.

"okay. Thank you so much. " After thanking Wu Zhili again, she took Xiaohua's hand and turned to move on.

Li Ka-shing didn't push the door into the room. He stood under his own eaves and watched the little flowers disappear into the night.

Xiaohua seems to have something difficult to say, but she just refuses to say it. Li Ka-shing changed clothes, went back to her room, and lay in bed, thinking wholeheartedly about the reason why Xiaohua refused.

However, his mind is still chasing the figure of Xiaohua, and everything in the past will always come to mind. He often recalls their good times together with a feeling of nostalgia. He felt extremely happy when he thought of Xiaohua's gentleness and consideration for himself.

Everything in the past is clearly visible Maybe what will it be like to see Xiaohua again tonight?

On the stormy night just now, on the way back, he had an evil idea. If Xiaohua lets the rushing rain slide into the roadside stream, she will save her at the critical moment of her life. If you try your best to protect her like that, can you win Xiaohua's heart back?

If I had married Xiaohua without fear, what would it be like now? Li Ka-shing asked himself in my mind.

Even if they love each other and can't be together, Li Ka-shing knows that this relationship won't last long. But for a single guy like himself, only the comfort of a woman is his demeanor, which has begun to accumulate in his heart during the two months of contact.

He believes Xiaohua loves himself. If Xiaohua had not been engaged to Wei, a fool, would he be willing to sacrifice himself to marry Xiaohua at all costs?

Why are you afraid to marry Xiaohua? Is she the only landlord's daughter Yang or you Xiaohua have never tasted women? His initial cowardice was wrong. Xiaohua married a fool Wei by mistake because of her own mistake.

If Xiaohua suffers from marital misfortune now, it is her own fault.

Depressed, Li Ka-shing recalled his past and thought of Xiaohua again and again.

Spring thunder rolled outside the window, and lightning shone brightly one by one. Li Ka-shing was disappointed at the thought that the intimate relationship between himself and Xiaohua would no longer exist.

Li Ka-shing's mother Yu Dan also acted in a play when she was young. In addition to playing the role of female voice, the role of male voice is also very beautiful. She is optimistic and cheerful. On weekdays, she likes to laugh and sing a few old plays to amuse everyone.

She also has a very strange ability. No matter what happens, when it comes to her mouth, she can analyze the ugliness. The hot discussion in the streets, the chat after dinner, the brief topics of parents, and even some strange social phenomena throughout the ages will make her justified.

There is also a husband, Li, who hurts others because of illness. Yu Dan is in Dongtang Town, and his popularity is quite good. People will tell her everything in private, and also regard her as an extremely clever person to solve doubts.

Borrowing the criticism of Saimao 'ao Brigade, the dynasty stopped Minister Luo and Minister Zhou to intercede on the road, and the dynasty worked hard to prepare for the funeral. People's doubts about the dynasty and Xiaohua circulated privately in Dongtang town, but they haven't reached their ears yet.

The woman whispered that she doubted the relationship between the dynasty and Xiaohua and told her husband Li.

Wu Zhili sent him a bowl of rice wine to keep out the cold, and thanked him kindly. Yu Dan's mother is not at home, but she still visits others. Father Li greeted him from the back room.

"Thank you for your bonus. If he didn't help us plug the loophole, I don't know when we two women will get it. " I happily put the bowl of distiller's grains in front of Li.

"No wonder the clothes are wet, and he didn't reply. Are you going to your house? " Li asked casually with a smile.

"It's going to Xiaohua's house."

"Oh?" Li's face became serious. "Did Xiaohua go?" Before Wu Zhili could answer, he immediately asked.

"Of course she went." Answer, see Li a face not happy, she regretted saying this sentence. She smiled back and knew that her daughter-in-law was her daughter, and Li was jealous that her son was close to Xiaohua.

"He Shu is not dead." She added crossly.

Wang didn't reply. Their expressions suddenly became stiff, and the conversation ended here.

Wu Zhili poured the rice in the bowl into his bowl and turned and walked away. She felt bored because the landlord's daughter was given the cold shoulder for the first time.

Li came to his son's house, looked at his son and asked, "You don't want to get involved with Xiaohua, do you?"

"What? I went with stupid Ma Wei. Standing under the eaves, people shouted for help. " Li Ka-shing sat up in bed and answered his father.

"It is said outside that Wang Chao, the captain of your militia, is courageous, and the landlord's daughter dares to come and go, saying what he has to do with Xiaohua."

Li Ka-shing looked at his father in surprise: "Who said that? The words of people talking nonsense outside? "

"Your mother came back to ask your mother." Li finished this sentence and went out.

Li Ka-shing felt a heat wave rushing to his forehead. He would rather let the pouring rain drench him and thunder break his heart on a thunderstorm night outside the window.

Is this sweet girl so cold to herself at once?

Father Li never thought that his words would bring great shock to his son.

When his mother came back from Dan, she asked her mother, "Who did you hear about the connection between the dynasty and Xiaohua?"

"You stay away from floret. Everyone in this town knows. He worked very hard at He Zhu's funeral. Some people saw that he often went to He Zhu's house a few days ago and stayed in the house for a long time, but the little flower didn't come out. Can he tell He Zhu so much? "

"Column is the militia tube. It is his job to supervise He Zhu. "

"What kind of work? He came out of He Zhu's house with a different expression on his face ... "Mother stopped and felt it inappropriate to talk about men and women with her grown-up son, so she had to say," You are still a young man and too lazy to tell you. If you stay with Xiaohua again, I will spare your life. " Yu Dan said the last sentence and began to be angry with his son.

"You and ZhenLin are classmates. Look, Zhenlin has grown into a company. " Li put in a word and taught his son a lesson.

"oh? Zhenlin is the son of Secretary Zhou. I heard that the big heads in the army are all former subordinates of his great uncle. " Li Ka-shing was angry, too. His angry mood is not for his parents, but for the dynasty.

Now it can be determined that Xiaohua's indifference to himself is an obstacle from the dynasty.

The son refuted his father like this. Li knew that Zhou's family should not be compared with his own, so he stopped talking. He went to another room, and he wanted this glib woman to teach her son a good lesson.

"Take you to a blind date in a few days, you can not. I don't believe there are so many young people in Mokpo Street. Why did they call you? You wouldn't say it was a coincidence, would you? Is there such a coincidence in the world? "

"..." The son was silent and glared angrily at his angry mother.

"When someone saw you looking for medicine on the mountain, Xiaohua was herding cattle on the mountain, and when Xiaohua was herding cattle on the mountain, you were looking for medicine on the mountain. Happened to be in a pile? No wonder we used to take a walk together after school ... "

Yu Dan has no room to continue, Li Ka-shing immediately turned and went out.

"Go and see where you are going ..." The mother shouted at her son at the door.

Li Ka-shing went back to his room, slammed the door, bolted it, sat on the bed and closed his eyes.

Xiaohua is not a woman who can be used casually. The dynasty used the power of fighting landlords to force Xiaohua. If Xiaohua really has that kind of intimate relationship with the dynasty and herself, it must be forced by the dynasty.

He believed that Xiaohua would not do anything out of line, but it has been confirmed now. But what are you and Xiaohua?

Obana dynasty confronted Niulaoshan, but the impression he left was vivid. He believes that the dynasty is the charm of the natural seam of Niulaoshan.

Now once this ugly lid is lifted, anger will gush out. Xiaohua was induced or threatened by the dynasty to reject herself and changed her attitude. He also wants to do his part for Xiaohua and do what a young man can do.

For example, I secretly take cake chips from home and buy biscuits and persimmons from the supply and marketing cooperative. I only have a few dollars on me.

Li Ka-shing was annoyed and felt too timid. A young and gentle young man is no match for a reckless middle-aged man in his forties. He just lay down, trying to sleep, and stopped thinking so much. But in any case, he can't sleep.

After his son made a dash for the door, Li He talked about the dynasty and Xiaohua.

"Dynasty how can associate with floret? He is the captain of the militia. I don't know the power relationship here, do I? " The husband asked his wife.

"When men are interested, they won't care so much." Yu Dan squinted at her husband. Just now, her son's anger at leaving was just taken out on her husband.

"Men sometimes occasionally do something out of line, not necessarily in the man himself. The temptation of women is also on the one hand. "

"Are you talking about yourself?" Laugh at Li. After Li got engaged to her, she once broke off her engagement. The reason is that Li took a fancy to another girl while seeing a doctor, which became an excuse to laugh at her husband forever.

Li Wanglin looked down and ignored Yu Dan. He is angry with his wife. When she was angry, she mentioned her past, but Yu Dan's strong personality dared not let him answer.

"He Zhu and Xiaohua were taken care of by the dynasty, thinking that they got the favor of the dynasty and let Xiaohua repay them with his own body. Maybe the father made his daughter do it. The female spy in the movie is asking her parents to dedicate themselves to the enemy and then get information from the enemy. "

Li was puzzled by his wife's words, but her doubts seemed to be taken for granted.

(To be continued. Episodes 22, 23, 24 and 25)

Next episode: Li Ka-shing shoots the dynasty and then commits suicide. Zhou Zhenlin, the eldest son of a military reconnaissance company commander Zhou Ruinian, went home to marry Yu Xiu and found that Li Ka-shing of the dynasty was a love murder. ...
