Chapter 25 Shaking
Chapter 25 Shaking
After Tan Ruyi soaked the green plums, she remembered that Su Beigu was going to Zhang Butcher's house to inquire about the source of forage, so she went out with her again.
Zhang Butcher's family lived at the foot of Fuqiu Mountain, because there were few farmlands in that area and most of them were wasteland, suitable for raising pigs and sheep.Moreover, being a butcher is often considered to be easy to commit murder, and people live far away from the place where there is blood and evil, so Zhang Butcher's family also lives in a remote place.
Su Bei asked puzzledly: "Zhang Dalang lives so far away, wouldn't it be inconvenient for others to buy meat?"
Tan Ruyi said: "Although the Zhang family is here, he will take the slaughtered pigs and sheep to the shop outside every morning to sell, and then go home when they are finished."
"Then is he at home now?"
"It doesn't matter if he's not at home. His mother, Aunt Qian, is at home. It's the same for asking Aunt Qian."
Just as he was talking, the Zhang family arrived.
A burly woman with broad shoulders and a fat body was feeding in the pigsty. Tan Ruyi called out to her, "Aunt Qian."
From her point of view, the woman poured all the pig food into the trough unhurriedly, and then wiped her hands with a bunch of branches and leaves next to her, before leaving the pigsty and walking towards them.
"Ruyi is here? Have you eaten yet?" Aunt Qian said.
"We've already had dinner. I'm here today to ask Aunt Qian about something."
Only then did Aunt Qian look at Su Beigu: "You are Daoist Su, right? I have seen you from afar before, but today I saw a real person."
Su Bei Gu also followed Tan Ruyi to call her "Aunt Qian", which surprised Aunt Qian: "What do you want to ask?"
Tan Ruyi said: "It's like this, we just want to know who the person who sells the fodder is and how to contact our family. We also want to buy some fodder."
"Oh, that's it!" Aunt Qian breathed a sigh of relief, even Su Bei Gu came over, she thought she was going to ask about ghosts and gods!
"There is an old woodcutter in Dongqiao Village who not only cuts firewood on the mountain, but also cuts grass by the river and in the wasteland. My family's fodder is obtained from him."
"Thank you, Aunt Qian, we'll go find him right away."
Aunt Qian stopped Tan Ruyi, and said, "You don't need to go find him. When he comes to deliver fodder tomorrow, I'll tell him to go to Su's house."
"Then trouble Aunt Qian."
"Why are you being polite?!"
Tan Ruyi and Su Beigu didn't stay for long. After they left, Butcher Zhang also came back. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a sweat towel, and asked Aunt Qian, "Mother, when I came back just now, I seemed to see Mrs. Tan. Did she come?" Are we home?"
"Yes, I'm here to ask about forage."
Butcher Zhang said "Oh", and after a while, he asked again, "Besides that, what else did she say?"
"No." After Aunt Qian finished speaking, she looked at her son with a little doubt, "What do you want her to say?"
Butcher Zhang pursed his lips: "No."
After all, he went into the room to wash his hands and prepared to eat. Aunt Qian followed him in, and said while cooking: "Have you not let her go yet?"
"Mom!" Butcher Zhang looked at Aunt Qian in a panic.
Aunt Qian curled her lips: "What is there to admit in front of Mother? If you hadn't cared about her in your heart, you wouldn't have gotten married so late. Now that she's married, shouldn't it be time for you to think about lifelong events?" ?”
The taciturn Butcher Zhang was forced to say a long sentence: "Mother, stop talking nonsense. If someone listens to you, isn't this hurting her? Besides, I feel guilty towards her, and it has nothing to do with love at all!"
Aunt Qian didn't take it seriously: "Why are you guilty? You weren't the only one who disliked her background and didn't play with her back then, and you were led astray. I don't think she cared about it all the time, and she's doing fine now. It is only you who think about it all day long, and feel that you have shouldered a great sin."
Butcher Zhang bowed his head: "Don't talk about it, mother, this is my business."
Aunt Qian snorted coldly: "No Zhang Bi, you are already twenty, and you are not married yet, when can I hug my grandson?"
……
Su Beigu and Tan Ruyi, who had already left, didn't know about the conversation between the mother and son, but during the chat, Su Beigu mentioned them: "That Aunt Qian is easy to get along with."
Tan Ruyi smiled and said, "Aunt Qian was very fierce when she was young."
Su Bei listened attentively, and Tan Ruyi continued: "When Zhang Dalang was young, his father left behind a butcher's knife and a pigsty, and died. The mother and son were almost unable to survive. Later, Aunt Qian ran to the Zhang family with a knife and slaughtered the fat pigs that had been raised for sale. Only then did she find a way out.
"In order not to be bullied anymore, Aunt Qian put on a vicious face all day long. When someone bought meat on credit but didn't settle the bill, she came to the door with a knife to collect the debt, so she left a bad name. After Zhang Dalang took over the slaughter, she was in charge. Taking care of pigs and sheep at home is not as fierce as before."
Su Beigu suddenly realized.
Tan Ruyi suddenly walked a few steps faster and stopped in front of Su Beigu, stared at her face, and said, "Let's not talk about Aunt Qian, Bei Gu quickly let me pinch it to see if I have gained any flesh."
Su Bei was embarrassed.Tan Ruyi raised her hand to pinch this pale and morbidly beautiful face, the force was not very strong, Su Beigu could even feel her fingertips rubbing against her face.
"You still haven't grown any meat. It seems that you have eaten too little." Tan Ruyi let go of her hand slightly dissatisfied.
Su Beigu smiled. She would meditate every day to expel impurities from her body. Maybe it was for this reason that she didn't grow any flesh!
Su Bei Gu said: "Sister Ah Tan will definitely be a loving mother in the future."
The expression on Tan Ruyi's face froze, and then she looked lonely and frustrated.
Su Beigu suddenly realized that Su Nancheng had been avoiding this marriage, and Tan Ruyi had also been a widow for a while. It is not known when she will become a mother, and how can she become a loving mother?
Knowing that he said something wrong and hit Tan Ruyi's heartache, Su Bei said, "You don't like me saying that, so I won't say these things in the future, don't be sad."
A light flashed in Tan Ruyi's eyes with her head down, and when she looked up again, she forced a smile: "I'm fine."
The more she was like this, Su Bei Gu Yue felt that the consequences of his slip of the tongue were very serious: "What can I do for you?"
Only then did Tan Ruyi say: "Bei Guruo really feels sorry, why don't you come and accompany me at night!"
"Ah?" Su Beigu's thoughts were twisted a lot at this moment.
Tan Ruyi opened a pair of innocent eyes: "Come with me, talk to me! When I was young, I wish I could have a sister as a companion, so that someone would talk to me at night, and comb each other's hair in a bun during the day." .”
It was so!
Su Beigu suppressed his messy thoughts, and felt that this was not a difficult task, so he agreed.
At night, Su Bei Gu went to Tan Ruyi's room after taking a bath. She wanted to wait for Tan Ruyi to fall asleep before meditating and practicing. Unexpectedly, the latter was eager to talk, and pulled her to talk a lot.
Once Su Beigu didn't meditate, she would easily succumb to her body's functions and get sleepy, so when she was drowsy, she asked, "Sister Aqin, is there any boudoir where I can have a good time and have a long talk with you?" close friend?"
Tan Ruyi said, "No."
The atmosphere was a little condensed for a while, Su Bei Gu woke up in a jerk, wondering if he had said the wrong thing again, but saw Tan Ruyi getting closer, with her forehead resting on her shoulder, her voice couldn't tell her emotion: "I don't want to be treated by others. See, my temper is also very boring, who would like to play with someone like me and be my close friend?"
Su Beigu opened his mouth, and Tan Ruyi suddenly looked up at her again, with the corners of his mouth curled upwards: "But there are no exceptions, there are people who are not afraid of me, and don't care if I am unlucky, and even gave me gifts. It is because of their prejudices, not my fault, that others hide from me because I am afraid that I will scold and humiliate me. I don’t need to despise myself because of other people’s prejudices.”
Su Bei Gu Shen thought it was right: "This is very true!"
But why does she sound familiar?
"I also think it's right to say that, so I accepted my background calmly, and did what I like doing with peace of mind."
Tan Ruyi's words interrupted Su Beigu's thinking, Su Bei's advisor: "Then where is he/she?"
"I don't know." Tan Ruyi said.
Subei Gu frowned. Could it be that his family moved and lost news?That would be such a pity.
"Maybe she forgot to come back to look for me, or maybe I haven't worked hard enough to leave a mark in her heart."
"Young people's minds are always so difficult to figure out." Su Daochang, who thought that he had already lived in two lives and was dozens of years old, secretly sighed.
Little did she know that Tan Ruyi stared at her with complex emotions flashing through her eyes, and finally stretched out her arms and hugged her waist slightly depressed, resting her chin on her shoulders, and buried her face in the hollow of her neck.
Su Beigu had never had such an intimate behavior with anyone before, feeling the breath sprayed on his neck, he froze uncomfortably.
"Bei Gu, can you come and accompany me often?" Tan Ruyi murmured.
The voice was very soft, but Su Beigu could hear it clearly.
Su Beigu was worried that this would affect his practice, but when the words of refusal came to his mouth, what Tan Ruyi said just now appeared in his mind: Maybe he/she forgot to come back to find me, or maybe I didn't work hard enough, Unable to leave traces in his/her heart.
Su Bei thought, are these words referring to the past to describe the present, and using the emotions of the old people to imply the attitude of Sunan City today?
She admitted that her Dao heart was shaken at this moment, and felt that maybe her world could be decorated with other things besides cultivation.
"it is good."
The author has something to say:
Sister Tan: I'm so angry, I want to bite someone!Forget it, it's still me who is distressed after biting it.
Susu:?
