Chapter 141 Since ancient times, the Hou family is as deep as the sea
Wang San was a miserable child. His parents died when he was young, and his relatives sold him into the Prime Minister's Mansion as a slave. It took more than ten years.
There were only a few people who came to his house, probably hundreds of people. Wang San had neither a good nor a bad reputation. It seemed that he was only fifty-eight with him, and forty without him. Time flew by, like a white horse passing by, and Wang San was gone in the blink of an eye.
He is already thirty years old, and the age for marrying a wife has long passed. He is a miserable man who is loved and loved by no one. He is not very capable. Who can think of finding a wife for him? Wang San's own difficulties are his own
He knows that if he knocks his teeth out and breaks his hat on his head, if he doesn’t look for trouble in other people’s lives, others won’t look for his happiness even if they have nothing to do.
There is a big locust tree in the corner of the back garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion. In July, when the locust trees are in full bloom, Wang San would sit under the tree for a while after finishing his work every day. He had no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery in the garden, and he did not dare to peek.
The woman from the mansion who came to enjoy the flowers and pick them just sat there quietly for a while. She remembered that when she was very young, there was such a locust tree in the courtyard of their hometown. Her parents were both there at that time. In the summer evening,
Everyone sat around eating under the big locust tree, and that scene always lingered in his mind. Although the food was not good, with simple meals and sometimes bran vegetables, he felt very comfortable and happy. That was his golden color.
Whenever he thought about this in his childhood, he sometimes couldn't help crying secretly.
On this day, Wang San had been working all day. After dinner, it was already very late and everyone else had gone to bed. However, he was still thinking about the tree and wanted to recall the sweetness of his childhood. Although it was completely dark, Wang San walked all the way.
He was very familiar with it. He arrived under the tree without much effort. When he was about to find a place to squat for a while, he suddenly looked up and saw a person hanging on the tree!
Wang San's courage was weak to begin with, and a dead man could scare him half to death. But at this time, for some reason, his mind became clearer: If he wanted to go back and call someone, what if he was still alive after traveling so far? Saving someone's life was not
Is it better to build a seven-level pagoda? He still hasn’t figured out what a seven-level pagoda is. Anyway, it is a good thing.
Without further ado, he immediately stood up, picked up the man's body and lifted him up. With a little more force, he could reach the hanging rope. The rope was enough, but he couldn't undo the rope buckle with one hand, so he used his nails to tear it off.
, finally tore a few strands apart, and after another violent pull, the rope broke.
After putting the person in the ground, Wang San discovered that she was a woman. He wanted to leave her alone, but he was afraid of causing trouble. He wanted to take care of it but didn't know how to intervene? Just when Wang San was hesitant, it was probably the hanging time.
Not long ago, the girl woke up. She made a cry and sat up suddenly.
Wang San clasped his hands, neither walking nor walking, standing aside blankly.
"What is this place?" the girl said
"The back garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion!" When asked, Wang San had to answer.
The girl touched the rope underground and asked again: "Did you save me? Who are you?"
"My name is Wang San, and I have been working in the house. I see you hanging on a tree, so I can't help you even if you die?" Wang San still stood with his hands down, standing neatly.
"Brother Wang," the girl said, "you shouldn't have saved me."
This was the first time in Wang San's life that someone called him brother. He immediately felt happy. It felt so good to save people!
"Live, it's better to live than to die." Wang San wouldn't even try to persuade others.
"I'm better off dead than alive," the girl said sadly, "Brother Wang San, you shouldn't have saved me!"
"Why?" Wang San has never said so many words to a strange woman in half his life.
"I was defiled by an old thief. What's the point of my life?" The girl spoke frankly.
"Old thief, which old thief?" Wang San didn't know who the old thief was.
"How many old thieves are there in this courtyard?" The girl thought Wang San knew
Wang San counted the elders in the house carefully, and finally thought of Wang Shugui, but he was not sure and said in surprise:
"You mean the appearance..."
"Who else is there besides him?" the girl gritted her teeth.
"Forget it, we can't fight him, don't argue with him, we will live with our people, sister." Wang San himself felt strange, and actually called the girl sister.
"Brother Wang, I know you, you are a good person in the house," the girl said
This was the first time in Wang San's life that someone said he was a good person, and it was said by a young woman. His heart suddenly warmed up, and he asked casually:
"Sister, what's your name?"
"My name is Cuihua" the girl replied
"There seems to be someone named Cuihua in the house. I've met him a few times occasionally. Your voice is very strange. It's definitely not that Cuihua."
"I'm new here. I haven't been in the house for three months. I heard from my sisters that the old thief is not a good person. I'm always on guard against him, but in the end I didn't escape his vicious hands." Cuihua said bitterly
"We are not just like the cattle bought by the boss. We are beaten, scolded and slaughtered at the discretion of others. I have been in the house for a long time and have seen a lot, so I have become accustomed to it." Wang San felt that he was in a very good mood and spoke eloquently.
Much smarter
"Brother Wang, do you come here often?" Cuihua asked casually.
"Yes, I come here almost every day to sit for a while," Wang San replied honestly.
"Will you come here again tomorrow?" Cuihua asked again
"Come" Wang San didn't know what Cuihua meant.
"I'll wait for you here tomorrow night. I have something to tell you," Cuihua said seriously.
Wang San was like a gold ingot falling from the sky. He was so happy that he didn’t know what to say. If there was anything to say between a man and a woman, it was nothing more than that. He hurriedly replied:
"OK OK"
Cuihua said: "Brother Wang, thank you for saving me. I'm leaving. It's been a long time. Once the old thief finds out that I'm not in the house, he will definitely order someone to come find him. If he finds anything, he can just beat me to death. But
I'm afraid I'll hurt you."
"Can you do it? Why don't you let me send you off?" Wang San bent down to help Cuihua.
Cuihua stood up, patted the dirt on her body, and said: "It's okay, Brother Wang, please sit down for a while, I'll leave first."
Wang San saw the figure of Cuihua girl hidden in the night, and his heart felt itchy. He wished that the sky would light up as soon as possible and the sun would set as soon as possible.
After going back and forth, the big locust tree became a tryst resort for them. Behind the big tree, hidden among the green grass, there was a bluestone slab, where they often talked quietly.
Suddenly one day, Cuihua said in panic: "Brother, I have it."
