Chapter 79 (1/2)
Wang Erya, an 18-year-old girl, lives in a small mountain village 30 miles away from Jinzhou.
She can't live. She might as well die.
She had not eaten for two days. She went out of the village to find a place to die.
Along the way, she recalled the 18 years of her life.
She was tall and powerful since she was a child. She practiced martial arts with her parents and brothers.
At that time, my parents and brothers were still alive, and the family was living very well. They also built five big houses with black bricks and black tiles.
This is the first in the village.
Later, my father joined the army, fought and never came back.
My brother joined the army and fought, but he didn't come back.
My mother fell ill, and my family's money flowed out like water.
I didn't have enough money. I sold my land and I borrowed it from my uncle and aunt.
At that time, aunts and uncles were very kind and generous enough to borrow money to buy medicine for her.
But her mother still failed to survive, leaving her alone last winter.
Then, the uncle and aunt like a changed person, maliciously came to ask her for debt.
There was no money in the family, and Wang Erya was unable to pay the debt.
Anyway, my uncle and aunt finally agreed to pay off the debt after the autumn harvest. She also asked her to write a IOU and interest.
Wang Erya went out every day when it was not bright. She went home only after dark. She was busy in the field and went to the city to do odd jobs.
It's time to pay off the debt after the autumn harvest.
The original debt of 50 Liang has changed into 100 Liang.
The grain collected at home has been taken away, all the money earned by odd jobs has been taken away, and the remaining fields have also been taken away, which is still not enough to pay off the debts.
Finally, my aunt and uncle are staring at the five big tile houses in the house.
Wang Erya disagrees, but her arm can't twist her thigh.
The elders of the family and the villagers all stand by their uncles and aunts.
It's only natural that you should pay in debt.
Wang Erya is desperate.
She remembered what the villagers said at that time.
”Er Ya, you see, you are so old, and you don't have a mother-in-law. What can I do. You're not counting on your aunts and uncles
”Erya, you are so tall, so strong, and you eat so much, which man can look up to you.”
”If you don't eat so much and you can't get married, you'd better die. It also saves food. ”
”If you can't get married and stay at home, you will lose the face of Lao Wang's family? All the girls in the family have been implicated by you. As soon as I heard about the Wang family, who didn't know you wang Erya, a disgraceful thing. ”
”Just find an old bachelor and send Erya out.”
”Yes, yes, there is an old bachelor on the other side of the mountain. I'll ask tomorrow.”
”I don't know how to look in the mirror. An old girl can't get married. She dares not to pay her debts. Without your aunts and uncles watching, your father and your brother are dead. Do you think you can live to this day? ”
”If you are wise, let the house out quickly.”
”Get out of here!”
”Get out of Wangjia village!”
Wang Erya was driven out of the house and out of the village.
She wanted to resist and asked countless reasons.
But in the face of the hatred of the villagers, Wang Erya gave up.
She didn't know what she had done wrong and why she was hated by everyone.
Maybe, she shouldn't have been born. She shouldn't have grown so big.
There's no point in living, and you can't get married. It's better to die.
Wang Erya, who is trying to die, is on the official road.
A bullock cart, dangling leisurely head-on, crossed with her.
”Girl, you see that man is clearly dressed in the girl's dress, but he is so tall and looks like a man. It's scary. ”
Are you talking about her?
Wang Erya doesn't care.
Her goal is the broken temple on the mountain, which is the place where her bones are buried.
Gu Jiu lifts the window curtain and looks at Wang Erya.
As expected, he was tall, with a visual height of 1.7 meters.
In this time and space, it is rare for a girl to grow so tall.
Not only tall, but also strong. The back looks broad and powerful.
There is something wrong with this girl. She thinks that she is not in the right place. Is it possible that she has encountered difficulties.
Eh, I went up the mountain.
Gu Jiu knocked on the door and asked Dazhuang, ”Dazhuang, do you know what's on that mountain?”
Dazhuang stopped the ox cart, turned back and said, ”tell me back, there is only a broken temple on the mountain. On weekdays, there are several beggars living in it. ”
Gu Jiu can't help but wonder what the tall and strong girl is doing in the broken temple on the mountain.
Big Zhuang asked, ”girl, do you want a little one to follow up and have a look?”
Gu Jiu nodded, ”you go and have a look, don't be short sighted.”Gu Jiu just said it casually, but he didn't expect it to be a prophecy.
Dazhuang catches up with Wang Erya. If he sees Wang Erya looking for shortsightedness, he wants to jump off the cliff behind the broken temple.
Zhuang shouts to stop Wang Erya.
Wang Erya burst into tears.
The girl, who was so tall, cried into tears and looked miserable.
”Why do you stop her jumping off a cliff. It's better to die clean than to suffer in this world. ”
A young man in a tattered scholar's robe and his hair in a mess like a chicken's nest? middle-aged person? The beggars came out of the ruined temple and lashed at Dazhuang for dissuading Wang Erya.
Dazhuang is at a loss. Where is he going to be his opponent.
He said one, and the other had already said a hundred.
”What's your name?”
Gu Jiu comes up to help Dazhuang. Looking at the young man with a big mouth? middle-aged person? Beggar.
The beggar held his head high and was very proud, ”I don't want to be named Zhou.”
A little beggar followed the beggar surnamed Zhou and said to Gu Jiu, ”he is Mr. Zhou.”
Gu Jiu nodded, ”it's Mr. Zhou. You've read books, you've heard
The beggar Mr. Zhou snorted, ”of course.”
Gu Jiu pick eyebrows, a good scholar, reduced to beggars, the world is changeable.
”It seems that Mr. Zhou's experience is very sad,” she said. Mr. Zhou should know that saving one life is better than building a seven level pagoda. Mr. Zhou can not save her, nor should he stop others from saving her. ”
Mr. Zhou yelled, ”what can I do to save her? Do you know her origin? Know what happened to her? Do you know why she wanted to die?
You don't know anything. It's just an occasional kindness. You can save her, but you can't change her situation. After that, she's still going to die.
It's better not to save her in the beginning and let her die happily. ”
Wang Erya fell on the ground crying, I don't know which sentence stabbed her heart.
Gu Jiu smiles. This Mr. Zhou's fallacies are quite different. I don't know what kind of blow I've suffered. I'm so cynical.
”Looking at Mr. Zhou's words and deeds, life seems to be very difficult. But you did not want to die, not because there is still an idea, a hope in your heart.
You have been reduced to this point, still not willing to give up, why do you want to persuade others to give up life. ”
”Shut up.” Mr. Zhou seemed to have been stabbed by Gu Jiu's words, ”what do you know. You don't know anything. You don't know why I'm here. You're not qualified to judge me. ”
Gu Jiu looks up and down at Mr. Zhou.
Has become a beggar, but still wearing the clothes when reading, we can see that there is still a trace of fantasy in my heart.
Gu Jiu said: ”I really don't know what happened to you, but it's just money, love and power.
If you look like this, you should not have passed the examination. It should not be power. Is it the double blow of love and money that makes you degenerate like this
Mr. Zhou, a beggar, glared at Gu Jiu with wide eyes. ”You don't know anything. Shut up.”
Gu Jiu snorted coldly, ”you are a great man. When you meet with a few difficulties, you are willing to degenerate and degenerate into a beggar.
Have you read the sages' books for so many years that you have read the belly of a dog? Do not you understand these eight words?
No money, dumped by a woman, what's the big deal.
Even if it's copying books, setting up a stall at the gate of the city to write letters for others, you can earn daily expenses.
In the future, it will be a hundred times, a thousand times better than you are to beat those who look down on you.
What you are doing now is just a coward's behavior, even a woman is not as good. It's really despised.
So, you're not qualified to be here. You're still going from where you come from. ”
Mr. Zhou, a beggar, shivered.
