Zhang Zhen'an knew that this was not what she had in mind, but hearing that she was not being coquettish or losing her temper, and her tone was so flat, he panicked for no reason, and said: "Don't say that."

"Everyone in the world thinks this way, you think so too." An Xiu'er laughed, looked sideways at Zhang Zhen'an, and said, "Really, in fact, you are already very good, much better than those men in the village "It's because I'm not satisfied, I want too much extravagance.

There was still a smile on the corner of her mouth, but the smile was obviously bitter, not as lively and innocent as before.

The lights flickered on, the two of them had nothing to say all night, and finally stayed up until dawn.

An Xiu'er had already wandered into the sky, she woke up in a jerk, and the woven nets in her hands fell to the ground, the water leaking in the basin was already full, and the overflowing ground was wet, the nets fell on the ground , covered with mud, it is useless.

An Xiu'er picked it up, feeling a little distressed.

Zhang Zhen'an noticed her annoyed expression, and stayed up all night. At this moment, her fair face was full of tiredness, and the circle of black and blue under her eyelids was thick and scary, and she was a little haggard.

I don't know how much rain fell yesterday. Zhang Zhenan felt the wind blowing down. When he looked up, there was already a big hole in the roof. At this moment, rainwater was falling along this hole, with a hint of coolness. He put it on the ground. These pots of pots and buckets have not played a little role.

He got up to pour out the water, took the buckets to the kitchen, passed the main room, the roof of the main room was also leaking, fortunately, the kitchen was secure.

The kitchen collapsed on one side when the snow fell last year, so he re-strengthened it. Unexpectedly, it survived now. He felt a little lucky, at least he could still make do in the kitchen at night.

It was still raining outside the house, he thought for a while, and instead of disturbing An Xiu'er, he lit a fire to cook breakfast by himself.

An Xiu'er sat in the room in a daze. She was so tired that she wanted to find a place to lie down, but there was mud everywhere, and the bed was soaked by the rain. Looking at the mess in the room, she really couldn't laugh or cry.

Although her family is poor, every spring, Father An always finds a sunny day to repair the roof, so she has never seen such a scene, and moves the table to a place that does not leak , she rested on it.

Before she slept for a long time, Zhang Zhenan came in with porridge. He pushed her arm and said, "It's time for breakfast."

Only then did An Xiu'er raise her head, and looked at him with misty eyes, innocent in her eyes, her eyes closed again, and he had no choice but to push her, so she sighed, rubbed her eyes, and stood up reluctantly Come.

There was nowhere to put her feet on the ground, she tried her best to find a clean place to step on, but when she walked out of the house, her feet were still covered in mud, and the only pair of clean shoes were completely dirty.

Somewhat annoyed, she simply took off the shoes on her feet, flicked them vigorously, and threw them far into the middle of the yard. She then walked to the kitchen wearing thin socks, stepping on the mud all over her feet.

The kitchen had just lit a fire, but it was quite warm. After she finished washing slowly, she leaned over to the fire, and finally ignored everything, and forgot about Zhang Zhenan asking her to go back to the house for dinner, so she only found a bundle The dry straw, lying down on the body, fell into a deep sleep.

After all, she is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and she is actually still a child. At this age, she is still a little lethargic.

Zhang Zhen'an waited for her not to come for a long time, until the bowl of porridge was cold, but he still didn't see anyone. He was a little angry at first, and finally a little worried. He sighed and came to look for her.

First of all, he went to the kitchen. He didn't see anyone at first glance. He looked around the yard and even searched for the latrine, but he couldn't see her.

"Xiu'er?" He called her name again, but no one answered.

Where is this girl going?
He felt strange in his heart, and felt irritated for no reason. At this time, the rain was slowly getting heavier again. He took off his coir raincoat, put on his hat and went to look for her. When he walked to the yard, his feet slipped and he bowed his head. Look, I saw her shoes lying in the middle of the yard, and the mud on the shoes had been washed away by the rain.

He lowered his head to pick up the shoes, panicked for no reason in his heart, how could he remember that she seemed to be wearing these shoes today?

Looking up at the courtyard door, the door is closed. Did she sneak out when he was not paying attention?
Where will she go?Zhang Zhen'an felt his heart beating up and down, so he opened the door without even thinking about it, and ran outside.

Accompanied by the downpour, he was very fast, and within half a cup of tea, he appeared at the gate of An's house.

"Bang bang bang!" He raised his hand and slammed on the door. Dong Shi, who had just woken up, thought she had heard it wrong. She trotted to open the door until there was another knock on the door.

"Why is it you?" Seeing Zhang Zhenan appearing at the door early in the morning, Mrs. Dong couldn't react.

"Is Xiu'er here?" He asked in a deep voice.

"No, what's the matter, what happened?" Dong asked.

"It's nothing, it just rained heavily last night, and she was worried about her family, so she asked me to come over and take a look." Zhang Zhenan lied without changing his expression.

"It turned out to be like this. Please worry about her. The house is fine. Father-in-law repaired the house a few days ago. No matter how heavy the rain is, it will not leak." Mrs. Dong replied with a smile, saying: "You Haven't had breakfast yet? Come in and sit down?"

"I've eaten. Since there's nothing to do at home, I'll go first." Zhang Zhen'an asked that An Xiu'er was not here, so he didn't stay, and after only saying a word, he turned around and left.

"Who is here?" Liang heard the voice and stood at the door of the main room looking around.

"It's Uncle, it rained heavily last night, so he came here to take a look today." After closing the door, Mrs. Dong still trotted to the corridor.

"Our house is a tile-roofed house, why worry? I'm worried about them." Mrs. Liang said, then looked at Mrs. Dong, with a slightly reproachful tone: "It's raining so heavily, they came here specially, why don't you stay?" People eat?"

"I wanted to stay, but he left in a hurry when he heard that his family was fine." Inexplicably being blamed by Mrs. Liang, Mrs. Dong also felt a little wronged.

"Forget it, I don't blame you, he is such a person." Liang Shi couldn't see the appearance of Dong Shi's wronged little daughter-in-law, waved his hand casually, and went into the house.

On rainy days, they can't do other things. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are also peeling peanut shells at home to prepare for the next farming.

Zhang Zhenan went to the river. When he was fishing one time, he heard two women in the village chatting, saying that many women in this river used to commit suicide by diving here, and they would take off their shoes before committing suicide. Why Zhang Zhen'an didn't want to understand, but at this moment, the woman's words that day were still lingering in his mind.

Once he had this thought, he panicked even more, and couldn't help thinking about it, could it be that he was a little cold towards her these days, so she was thinking wildly, and then committed suicide by throwing herself into the water?
He felt that it was not enough, but he thought of the mud all over the ground in his home. She felt that her life was miserable, so she threw herself into the water.

The more I think about it, the more likely this possibility is. It seems that there are many women in this village who have thrown themselves into the water, because they feel that their lives are miserable, so they think about it. When you are young, it is very possible that you can't think about it for a while.

The more Zhang Zhenan thought about it, the more frightened he became. He looked up and down the river and called her name.

The heavy rain was pouring down, and the river, which was calm and clear in the past, now became turbulent and turbid, like an enraged yellow dragon, flowing mightily to the east.

If someone really threw water, they would be taken away by the river in no time. He didn't dare to go down into the river hastily, and only searched along the river bank for a while.

When the anxious mood passed, his heart slowly calmed down. The more he thought about it, he felt something was wrong. The road was muddy, and he didn't see her footprints. The courtyard door was closed just now, maybe he was thinking too much. up.

If she really drowned and died, what should she do?The slanting rain hit his face, but he still couldn't think of anything, what was in his heart was extremely flustered and he didn't know what to do.

Before he knew it, he came to the door of the house, opened the door and entered, first went to the room to look, but still saw no one, he went into the main room, took off the coir raincoat and hung it up, the rain was too heavy, he His clothes were already soaked.

There is no more clothes for him to change, the clothes he put on last night have not been washed, he thought maybe he can take the clothes to the stove to roast, went into the kitchen, walked a few steps, a strange look appeared on his face look.

I searched for her all morning, but she was fine. She nestled on the straw, curled up like a kitten.

Feeling a little annoyed, he walked over and poked her face with his fingers, but she still didn't wake up, he just stretched out his hand to remove the foreign matter on her face, he poked again, she waved again, he saw that she was still awake like this, a little Angry, she looked down to see her bare feet, put the dirty socks aside, simply took a straw, and scratched gently on the soles of her white and tender feet.

There was a tingling sensation in the soles of her feet, An Xiu'er finally woke up, someone disturbed her sleep, she was full of anger, but after seeing clearly that this person was Zhang Zhen'an, her anger gradually calmed down, and she ignored him , just close your eyes and continue to sleep.

After a while, there was a slight itching from the soles of her feet. She knew that he was teasing her, but she just endured the itching and continued to pretend to be asleep.

Seeing that she could bear it so much, he grabbed her ankles with his rough fingers and gently rubbed the acupuncture points on the soles of her feet. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and tried to pull her feet back, but he held them tightly, and she opened her eyes. Open your eyes and glared at him: "What are you doing?"

"No reason." Zhang Zhenan let go of his hand, and saw that when she was angry, her brows were slightly frowned, and her small mouth was slightly pursed. It was obviously annoyed, but it seemed to give people a feeling of anger and anger, as if with Three points of coquettishness.
