The biting cold wind was blowing, and pedestrians on the road were either running fast or tightening their bodies.
A dilapidated bus bumped on the bumpy road. Suddenly it came to a sudden stop, and the dust that followed was raised like a giant white dragon.
As soon as the car door opened, Lin Xiao was the first to jump out of the car carrying a bag.
This is Nanyang Township. Since today is a market day, there are many people on the street who come from villages from all over to go to the market.
It's been a long time since I've been back to Banpo Village, and I don't know what the village is like now. Lin Xiao took this time today to take the first bus to Nanyang Street from the county seat.
It's called a street, but it's actually a wide dirt road.
When the strong wind blows, dust flies everywhere on the street, and people doing business on both sides quickly turn their faces to the other side.
To walk to Banpo Village, you have to pass through Nanyang Street and then go up the mountain. This is the nearest only way.
Lin Xiao pulled up his collar and walked a little fast with the big bag in his hand.
"Jiangfen, dough..."
"Oil cake..."
Seeing Lin Xiao passing by, the people setting up stalls on both sides of the road started shouting.
Suddenly, Lin Xiao saw a familiar figure again.
With a large flowered coat and a blue patch on her green headscarf, she was none other than Xia Yuhe, one of Lin Xiao's junior high school classmates.
I saw her bent over and blowing hard on the fire.
Maybe it was because of the strong wind. There was green smoke coming out of the stove, but there was no flame coming out.
Just when Lin Xiao was about to walk past her in two steps, Xia Yuhe raised his head at this moment, their eyes met, and the two of them were startled at the same time.
"Oh! Are you out of the stall?"
Lin Xiao was the first to react and asked softly.
Xia Yuhe looked embarrassed. She rubbed her eyes that were choked by cigarettes and said with a smile, "Yeah! Are you going home?"
Lin Xiao nodded and walked over, then sat on the small stool very naturally.
"Fry me ten fried cakes! I'll take them home."
Lin Xiao smiled slightly and said, he could see that Xia Yuhe didn't open at all.
"You don't need to take care of me. You have plenty of flour and oil at home, and you still use me to fry."
Xia Yuhe said with a bitter smile.
Lin Xiao shook his head and said, "You are thinking too much. I have to hurry up and hurry up."
Lin Xiao said, then bent over and lit the fire himself.
When he lived in middle school for several years, cooking and making fire every day was a must-have skill, so Lin Xiao had his own skills in making fire.
Soon, the flames burst out of the stove, and they grew stronger and stronger.
A smile appeared on Xia Yuhe's face, and she quickly kneaded her face.
"How is Su Quanquan now?"
Lin Xiao asked softly while helping Xia Yuhe light the fire.
Xia Yuhe smiled bitterly and said, "A dog can't change his habit of eating shit. He still doesn't care about his family. He stays away from home every day and asks me for money as soon as he comes back.
It's okay if you have money, but if you don't have money, you'll beat me. My family is not rich to begin with, and several pieces of furniture have been smashed. "
Xia Yuhe burst into tears when she said this. She paused and then continued: "Fortunately, I have someone from my mother's family to help me take care of the child, otherwise I would really not be able to survive this life."
When Lin Xiao heard what Xia Yuhe said, he sympathized with this female classmate, but after all, this was a family matter, and it was really hard for him to get involved.
As soon as Xia Yuhe's side started to move, someone came over to buy pancakes, and business suddenly picked up.
Soon, Lin Xiao's ten fried cakes were fried. Just as Lin Xiao wrapped the ten fried cakes and put them in his bag, and then took out a ten-yuan bill and just handed it over, suddenly a figure flashed, and the bill in his hand It was taken away.
"Walk slowly! No change."
The visitor shouted loudly towards Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao took a closer look, Oh my God! This guy turned out to be Su Quanquan.
This guy's hair was so long that he had no human shape, and white cotton was exposed in many places on his green cotton coat.
"Give him the money quickly. Ten pancakes won't cost you so much."
Xia Yuhe shouted and stood up.
Su Quanquan smiled coldly and said: "What do you mean? Do you want to feed Han and let him eat for free? You bitch, I have been watching you for a while, looking at you and smiling happily.
Could it be that when I was not at home, you had already covered it up? "
Su Quanquan shouted loudly, as if he was afraid that others wouldn't hear.
"You bastard! What the hell are you talking about."
Xia Yuhe's face turned red with anger. She gritted her teeth and cursed in a low voice. After all, this was on the street.
Lin Xiao kept controlling himself. He said nothing because there was nothing to say to such a person.
Seeing that Lin Xiao didn't refute, Su Quanquan got even more excited. He shouted loudly at Lin Xiao: "You are so damn rich if you have money? You can sleep with other people's wives if you have money?"
At this time, people going to the market gathered around. Everyone likes to see this kind of excitement. For a while, a lot of people gathered here.
Some good old people who didn't know the truth were still pointing fingers. They all scolded Lin Xiao and Xia Yuhe, and they all made immoral and shameless remarks.
Xia Yuhe couldn't bear it anymore. After all, Lin Xiao was trying to help her, and their relationship was innocent, so there was no need for her to let Lin Xiao be reviled by everyone because of her.
"Su Quanquan, I will fight with you today, you inhuman beast..."
Xia Yuhe cursed, she picked up the kitchen knife on the chopping board and rushed towards Su Quanquan.
The crowd onlookers roared, and everyone just stepped back, but no one took a step forward.
When Lin Xiao was about to pull Xia Yuhe away, she didn't expect that Xia Yuhe stepped on a stone. When the stone rolled, her body slipped and fell to the ground.
Because he was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and trousers, his body was a bit clumsy and he couldn't get up if he fell down.
An infuriating scene happened. Su Quanquan stepped forward and stepped on Xia Yuhe's hand holding the kitchen knife, and then smashed Xia Yuhe's head crazily with both fists.
The screams resounded throughout the street, and everyone looked on, feeling that Xia Yuhe had been beaten to death.
Lin Xiao was furious, he saw the cold side of human nature.
"Go to hell!"
With a roar, Lin Xiao rushed forward and punched Su Quanquan on the cheek. Su Quanquan twisted his body due to the blow and fell to the ground with a plop.
This guy rolled on the ground and got up.
"Everyone came to see him sleeping with my wife and beating me. Is this justified?"
Su Quanquan roared and rushed towards Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao was worried that he had nowhere to vent his anger. He used his fists and kicks to knock Su Quan to the ground in two or two blows.
"Help! The adulterer has killed someone..."
Su Quanquan was originally a scoundrel. When he saw that he couldn't defeat Lin Xiao, he decided to make a fool of himself.
"Stop arguing! Catch him."
Suddenly, Zhao Jingyi, the female head of Nanyang Township, walked out of the crowd.
