A few young men were still making naughty jokes around. What are you kidding about? I keep my word. A hairy monkey face asked: What do you rely on? Pipi was speechless for a moment. Yin Goubi said: Can you take off the scarf from her neck and let her give it to you as a token? The rogue said: What a joke, why do I need a scarf? A woman's scarf? But I can pull off a strand of the scarf and show it to you. Triangle Eyes said hesitantly: Even if you got it, who would believe that you pulled it from Sima Hua's scarf. Pipi said: This is not easy to handle. At the junction of the foothills and the mulberry forest, he danced and talked very enthusiastically: When Sima Hua goes to the mulberry forest alone to pick mulberries, you can hide in the forest and spy on me!
Okay, that's fine too. Yin Hook Bi turned him into a "jun": If you can't do this, your brother will have to treat him to a restaurant in town and let his brothers scoop up a meal. Pippy said: Count it! If I can do it, each of you brothers will treat me once. He pointed to the hooked nose and said: Let’s start with you.
They were discussing, and sure enough, they saw Sima Hua walking slowly down the village road with a bamboo basket on her back. The pink scarf fluttered in front of her lapel, like a cluster of gorgeous clouds on the horizon. To these guys, it seemed like It's out of reach, but for the rogue, it doesn't feel too difficult.
At this time, the sky turned cloudy, and Popi thought about that pink scarf. Even if it was a gorgeous cloud, if the sun faded its luster, it would turn into a dark cloud, or even a strand of rain falling down, just in time. In the position he expected to take over. So he thought it would be relatively easy to get a strand of silk from Sima Hua's scarf. When they saw Sima Hua appear on the village road, several young men ducked into the forest. Only Popi bent down and crawled towards the mulberry forest where Sima Hua was picking mulberries.
In the main room where silkworms are raised, Sima Hua's mother was changing the incubation board for silkworms. She walked from the upper main room to the lower main room with an incubation board. When passing through the aisle on the left side of the patio, perhaps because of her impatience, her feet were unsteady and she slipped away. Sliding, she knelt on the bluestone in the patio aisle with her right knee. It was supposed to be okay when she climbed up, but she felt very unlucky. An incubation board rubbed against her knee at close range. Those silkworms that were full of life and were about to give birth to their heads, There were about thousands of them, and they were all crushed. She got up and looked at them heartbrokenly, and saw a wet mark on the incubation board. In other words, when Sima Hua's mother fell down, although she was not injured anywhere, she was equivalent to losing more than a thousand yuan worth of brocade, because the silk made by thousands of silkworms spinning cocoons is equivalent to that value. .
Now all the silkworms on this hatching board have been crushed to death, and there are less than a few hundred silkworms that have not been crushed to death. She returned to the house and took out a rag to carefully wipe the wet marks on the hatching board. If she didn't wipe it clean, once Sima Hua's father found out, there would be at least one unpleasant quarrel at home. These are top-grade silkworms purchased by Sima Hua's father from Guangxi. They are expensive. Sima Hua tried her best to conceal this matter. Now she put the silkworms that were not damaged on the edge of the hatching board into a basket and covered it with cotton wool as usual.
In the evening of this day, a hotel in the town was very lively. A dozen young men drank from large bowls, ate large pieces of meat, and played finger-guessing. Their faces were all flushed. The rogue held the wine bowl with one hand, and took out the pink scarf strands from the side hole of his clothes with the other hand. He shook it in front of everyone, and then said slyly: Today I won you, and I also won Sima. That pretty girl in China. The monkey-faced man picked up a big bowl of wine and said: Come on, I'll pay for it today to congratulate Yang Xing on his success.
Yang Xing is the real name of the gangster. Shouting like this was to cheer up Pipi. Pipi was very pleased with himself because he had the upper hand over everyone. He took a sip of wine, looked at his hairy monkey face and said: Today you pay the bill, and tomorrow it will be his turn to pay. He glanced at Yin Goubi and thought that he should be the one to take the lead in paying the bill. That was the decision from the beginning. Yin hooked his nose and said nothing, reaching out to grab the pink scarf draping in Popi's hand. It felt soft and soft. Popi quickly stuffed it back into his clothes and said with a funny face: "Don't touch this, it's the one I got from Sima." I want to treasure the love token I got from Hua and prevent it from being exposed and tarnished prematurely. Everyone laughed after hearing this.
But Triangle Eyes put down the wine bowl and came over. He wanted to reach out and take it out of Popi's clothes, inspect it, pinch it, and said: We just want it to be exposed and defiled. Pippy stood up, held his clothes with his hands, walked away from the wine table and said: This pink scarf draping is a token of love, I must protect it. He raised his fist and said: One man is in charge, and ten thousand men cannot escape. Yin Goubi said: Just kidding, who wants your love token? Come over for a drink. Seeing that the rogue had returned to his position, everyone changed the topic. The hairy monkey face said: At that time, I climbed up a tall oak tree in the forest to peek into the mulberry forest. You touched the mouth of Sima Hua, who was standing picking mulberry leaves, and then pushed her to the ground. Out of sight. What did you do? Everyone looked at the rogue and asked in unison: Yang Xing, what did you and Sima Hua do?
This is kept secret. The rogue couldn't help but laugh and said: But I can tell you that I had a great time becoming a man.
The monkey-faced man picked up the wine bowl and took the lead and said: Come, cheers to Yang Xing for being a man for once! Everyone responded. Just as he was drinking heavily, four or five policemen came, and they all shouted: "Put your hands up." Before they could recover, they were all pushed to the ground and put on shiny handcuffs.
What happened was that when the sun went down that afternoon, the main room where Sima Hua's family raised silkworms also became gloomy. Because the light was dim, Sima Hua's mother stopped feeding mulberry leaves to the silkworms. Suddenly something came to mind, Sima Hua I haven't gone home yet, if I would have gone home a long time ago, because it's dark and dewy, the silkworms cannot eat the dewed mulberry leaves. If they are eaten, the silkworms will get sick, have diarrhea, and even die. Sima Hua should know this, so what is she still doing in the mulberry forest? Sima Hua's mother was worried, so she went out alone towards the mulberry forest where the sunset reflected blood like blood.
The mulberry forest is deep, and the croaking of dusk crows can be heard from time to time, like an ominous omen. Since there was no sign of Sima Hua, Sima Hua's mother felt a little panicked. She walked from the southern section to the northern section of the mulberry forest, and suddenly found a bamboo basket filled with mulberry leaves. Under the bamboo basket was a pair of blue satin trousers and a pair of floral trousers. These were Sima Hua's. She subconsciously affirmed . Why are these things here and where have the people gone? Sima Hua's mother raised her head and shouted loudly: Hua Zi, where are you? He shouted several times, but there was no response, but the echo vibrated in the empty valley. Then there was silence.
She walked around to the western section and was shocked. She saw a person hanged from the wild branches of a huge mulberry tree. She was a girl, with clothes on her upper body and a naked and pale lower body. She looked closer and saw that the hanged girl was none other than her daughter Sima Hua. She couldn't help but cry loudly. She didn't know what was going on, but she guessed that she must have been raped. Her daughter couldn't bear the humiliation, so she hanged herself. of. While crying, she climbed up the mulberry tree and took off the rope that tied her daughter's neck. What kind of rope was it? It is a red rope made of my daughter's pink scarf torn into pieces.
