However, he said that Lu Fanghai found an opportunity in the county government to inform the county lieutenant Fan Zhao of tonight's appointment, and the two of them were scheduled to go together in the evening.In order to prevent others from suspecting, the two went home separately.It was not too late, Du Wenxiu sat in front of the window of the main room, fiddling with the wick of the oil lamp.Since moving to the county seat, the business has gradually improved, and the situation of the Lu family has been much better than in Taohua Village.The table by the kang is no longer empty, only an oil lamp, a few more boxes of rouge gouache, and a copper mirror.There are also a few ledger books.Du Wenxiu looked at the oil lamp in front of him and remembered when he first crossed over.Although she has never said anything about her achievements, she is still full of confidence and wants to live as a modern new woman in this era.Now, it's been assimilated, right?
More often than not, I feel all kinds of injustices, powerlessness, and helplessness of fate.As a woman at the bottom of this society, it is not allowed to control your own destiny.It's hard to cross classes.So, what is easy?
Maybe it was the hormones of pregnancy, and she just felt restless."
Why don't you light the lights?"
Lu Fanghai came in the door and found her sitting at the table like that."
Oh, I don't know where I put it."
Du Wenxiu replied casually.Lu Fanghai walked to the place where he often set fires, and touched it as soon as he reached out.Lighting the fuel lamp, the jumping light reflected Du Wenxiu's calm and waveless face.It's just that Lu Fanghai feels that under the seemingly calm, there are turbulent waves.Sitting beside her lightly, Lu Fanghai wanted to hold her hand, but she was inadvertently withdrawn and got up and got out of bed."
Chan'er, is the meal ready?"
Du Wenchan's voice of agreement came from the kitchen, and she hurriedly brought out the food.The family sat together and fed, but the atmosphere was eerily quiet.Du Wenxiu was depressed and silent, and Du Wenchan and her brother-in-law naturally had nothing to say.Lu Fanghai only thought that she was in a bad mood because she had sent Xiaohu away, and wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know how to speak.Du Wenxiu ate a few mouthfuls of food, but he had no appetite, so he put down the bowl and stopped eating, and went back to lie on the kang.Looking at the roof with wide eyes, my mind was full of thoughts and chaos.Lu Fanghai came in and said a few words, but she didn't say anything.Because he remembered the agreement, Lu Fanghai didn't say much, and when he arrived, he said hello and went out.He made an appointment with Fan Zhao to wait at the corner of the street, and when he got there, Fan Zhao was already waiting.After making a gesture, Lu Fanghai didn't make a sound, so he led the way, and Fan Zhao followed from behind.When he arrived at the mansion yesterday, Fan Zhao came up to block his hand that was about to knock on the door, and Lu Fanghai looked at him suspiciously.As if listening carefully, Fan Zhao let go of his hand, and he knocked on the door according to what he had learned in the army, two long and three short.The door immediately opened quietly, and Lu Fanghai was the first to rush in, followed by Fan Zhao.As last night, the bean-sized lights in the main room flickered, and when the two of them entered, the door was closed, and there were people guarding the house, and only whispers were heard, but nothing was said.It wasn't until the drum sounded that the two crept out of the house, looked at each other when they went out, and went their separate ways.When I got home, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the ground was silvery.Du Wenchan didn't know that he was going out, so she put the courtyard door on the latch.However, it was not difficult for Lu Fanghai, he ran a few steps backwards gently, kicked the wall and went up to the wall, turned over and entered the courtyard, but did not make a sound.The lights were still on in the main room, I don't know if Du Wenxiu was waiting for him on purpose, and I couldn't help but feel a little warm in my heart.After entering, he gently closed the door and opened the curtain in the inner room, Du Wenxiu was still lying on the bed with his clothes open, looking at the roof with his eyes open."
Xiu Niang, Xiu Niang."
Lu Fanghai went up and pushed her, and she glanced at her blankly."
Take off your clothes and wash and sleep, it's so uncomfortable."
Du Wenxiu nodded dumbly, and got up and got off the kang stiffly.Lu Fanghai hurriedly stopped her, went to the kitchen to scoop hot water, and brought it over to wash with her.It's just that after a long time, the water has been cold, and he added firewood to boil the water again, and made another movement.Du Wenchan's door squeaked open, and Du Wenchan, who was dressed in a coat, came out with sleepy eyes and a yawn.Without waiting for her to ask, Lu Fanghai explained a few words in a low voice, and she went back again.After such a toss, it was late to sleep.Lu Fanghai hugged Du Wenxiu, knowing that she should have something to do with Yulan, and she came back to behave like this.I made a decision in my heart to ask again tomorrow, and if I didn't say anything, I would go directly to Yulan.Unexpectedly, early the next morning, Du Wenxiu was very different from yesterday, full of energy and high spirits.Seeing that she seemed to be back to normal, Lu Fanghai went on a business trip with peace of mind.In the afternoon, Du Wenxiu packed up some things and asked Du Wenchan to send them to Qiao'er, she had a double body, although she couldn't say it outside, but she also had to avoid it herself.Du Wenchan took a look, they were all food and children's clothes, and teased her: "Sister, why don't you keep a few more pieces for yourself, in a few months, the family will also prepare these miles." ”Du Wenxiu smiled slightly, saying that she was poor, and asked her to send it to Mo Ling.Du Wenchan only thought she was shy, and went to Fan's house with a basket of things without mentioning it.As soon as her sister left, Du Wenxiu sat bored in the shop, watching the people coming and going on the street.Suddenly, there was some instability in front of him, and the sound of tinkling and clanging was endless, and when he turned his head, he saw that the pickle jar on the shelf was shaking like a sifting of chaff."
The earth dragon has turned over!"
There was a shout from the crowd, and the people who were dazed for a moment reacted and stumbled like headless flies in the shaking streets.A pile of bamboo poles standing against the wall over there fell to the ground, and the mud on the stall here rolled on the ground and fell to pieces.There were cries, scolding, and screams everywhere, and it was so lively.The vendors' stalls were overturned, and all kinds of things, cloth heads, buns, etc. were scattered all over the ground, but no one picked them up.Du Wenxiu's originally blank brain also woke up from the downtime at this time, got up and held on to the door frame, and moved to the inner courtyard.At this time, someone ran in and grabbed her and dragged her out, which scared her so much that she screamed and shouted for him to let go."
Don't go back, it's dangerous!"
The man shouted at the throat, Du Wenxiu looked at the unfamiliar face, and was pulled by him and staggered to follow him.Dragged her down into the street, full of people running around.Many people were pushed to the ground, and before they could get up, they were trampled on the ground one by one, leaving only a wail in their ears.She struggled to break free of the man's hand, and he was pushed back a few steps and hit the wall under the earthquake fluctuations."
SssThe man touched the back of his head and shouted at her, "Sister-in-law, I just came to find Brother Lu yesterday and met you." ”Du Wenxiu, who was swaying from side to side and standing unsteadily, was about to stay away from this man, but he reluctantly stopped when he heard this, and turned to look at him.Then an even more violent earthquake struck, and a wall of earth that had fallen into disrepair shattered into powder and buried the people who were taking refuge in it."
Sister-in-law, come with me."
The man touched it again at some point, grabbed Du Wenxiu and ran out.
