"What are you doing? Didn't I tell you to clean up? " The man also stepped in and saw that the woman was still sitting on the bed. His face suddenly became angry.

The woman finally regained her mind and shrunk. She received the clothes and the needle and thread in her hand into the basket. Then she moved the quilt to the bedside and said, "I'll change the quilt for the girl."

Her action is very fast, as if for fear of being beaten and scolded by a man.

As soon as she moves, the sound of the collision of iron chains rings out, which attracts the eyes of Rong Shen and Cheng Xiu. Rong Shen and Cheng Xiu's eyes swing past the iron chain on the woman's feet. Rong Shen's face is expressionless, and Cheng Xiu's eyes are curious.

The woman's foot was covered with an iron chain, and the other end of the chain was beside the Kang. Rong Shen looked down and saw a big stone pier on the other end of the Kang. There was a hole in the middle of the stone pier, and the other end of the chain went through the hole, and finally came back and locked it with a lock.

It takes at least two adult men to move such a large stone pier. It is impossible for a locked woman to move. In other words, the range of a woman's activities is within the length of the chain.

When a woman goes to the ground to put on her shoes, her thick cotton padded trousers shrink up. Rongshen sees another ring of scar on her ankle, which is obviously worn out by the iron chain, and it has been a long time.

Although Cheng Xiu was curious, he didn't speak. He stood beside Rong Shen and watched the woman move a quilt out of the closet and throw herself on the Kang.

When the woman simply cleaned up the main room, the man came in with a pot of hot water. He put the hot water on the small table on the Kang, turned back and rubbed his hands towards Rongshen, and said with a smile, "sorry, girl, we are poor here, and we don't have any tea. We can only warm your body by boiling a pot of hot water for you and the young man. If you are hungry, we will go to the kitchen There are some cakes and sweet potatoes in the room

"We brought our own dry food, just hot water." Rong Shen refused.

With a smile on his face, the man didn't persuade him any more. He took a bunch of keys from his belt and approached the stone mound with one. He opened the lock of the iron chain and explained to Rong Shen: "my mother-in-law is mad. Sometimes she gets sick and can't hold her. I can only lock her with the chain. Otherwise, I'm afraid I can't find her in the nearby mountains. It's a wild animal in the mountains More. "

When a man talks, a woman always stands by quietly and doesn't make any expression, but when a man says that she is insane, her hands in front of her hold tightly, and her black nails are pinched on the back of her hands.

Rong took a deep glance and didn't speak.

The man untied the lock, dragged the chain in one hand, and went out with the lock in the other hand. When he came to the door, he stopped again, turned his head to Rongshen and said, "my mother-in-law and I live in Westinghouse. If the girl has something to send someone to call, the kitchen is nearby. Don't be polite if she wants to use anything."

Anyway, Rong Shen just gave him a bag of silver, not to mention the silver in his kitchen, which is enough to buy his yard.

Although the village is remote, when the weather is good, people in the village will still rush down the mountain to go shopping in the nearest town, or sell the game they have hunted, and exchange it for some firewood, rice, oil, salt and cloth to make clothes.
