The panic in the seemingly calm atmosphere lasted for two days. On the third night, the husbands knocked on the door from door to door. I didn't expect them to look neither thin nor swollen. They looked fine, but they were really empty-handed. The wives welcomed them into the house, and they sat on the kang without talking. Wives bring pumpkin potherb rice, they eat it, they carry water, they drink it, and then smoke silently. So I spent the whole night. On the fourth day, men from all families got together. Not long after, women also got together automatically, because the conversation of men was accidentally leaked: they were going to dig melon seeds and moved away. The central content of the discussion is how to convince your woman. What women are discussing is how not to persuade them. Sure enough, all the women were persuaded by her husband's Tang Priest that night, but all the women just listened silently and said nothing. Some people become angry and violent. The village was full of cries and curses. As a result, no one advised. Because men have no reason, women have full reason: this is my home, my hometown, my life's hard work and sweat, why do you want to leave? Come on, where can we go? Finally, time seems to be reincarnation, and all the men just came back: silently smoking cigarettes.
Until the fifth day. A woman from Dongshui village came to visit. Although nominally two villages, the people in the two villages are half neighbors because of their proximity. The men of the two villages fled together, and the women waited at home together. According to the local dialect, it was a friendship that "mice were also raised together". When she heard that the man who studied water was back, she came to inquire about her husband. The woman who went welcomed her into the house to pour water, while the man hid in the back room. The woman in Dongshui Village took a sip of water and said, I have something to find my eldest brother. I want to ask my man why he hasn't heard from me. So the woman of this family went into the back room and said to her husband, Why are you hiding? Tell others what you know and what you don't know. The husband just looked at her nervously and said for a long time, I didn't see it. We two villagers left separately. I don't know if he finished mumbling this sentence, but the curtain was lifted and the Dongshui woman who came to see him came in. The husband looked at the woman in Dongshui and said shyly, well, I really don't know. But the women in Dongshui village didn't speak, just staring at the shoes on the men's feet. Suddenly, she shouted, These shoes are my man's! I gave him needle after needle! How did it get on your feet? Go ahead!
The husband still didn't speak, just staring at the woman in Dongshui Village. The woman suddenly turned and rushed out of the house, shouting: murder! Killed someone! In the distance, a few men from Xishui Village heard the news and ran here. The woman ran to the first man and cried, Oh, my God! My man's shoes are in ... that's it. Half a stone in the man's hand hit the woman on the head, and the woman fell to the ground without saying a word. Several men gathered around. What shall we do? Everyone is talking about it. Bury it. Don't bury it, I'm so hungry. Really, I am so hungry. Go, get a machete. The people in the room fainted. He burst into tears. It was a long time before he said to his woman: all the men in Dongshui village can't come back. We ate them all. We ate them all. A woman's hair roots exploded instantly, and a chill rushed from her heel to the top door. "We fled to the outside, and then it's almost time to go back. We came to the lower reaches of the river very early, but we were afraid to go home. In order to survive for a few dollars, we went to the mountains to dig herbs. The snow closed the mountain and we got lost. After a few days, I ate everything, hungry and gnawing my hands! There was a fire burning in my heart, and then we met those people in Dongshui Village. "
"They have a lot of people died. A few people who are alive are dying. They said that they had somehow come to the mountains. When we saw the dead man, his face turned gray and he had no wounds. They have no food, and we are all tired, so we must stay here first. Then I woke up and looked outside. They were already eating. "
There's a noise outside. Just now, several men were chopping at the woman with machetes, but the woman whose left foot was chopped off woke up leisurely, making baby. Without saying a word, the men greeted her with machetes. In the distance is a snowy mountain, and the Spring Festival is coming.
