Chapter 2267 Doubt and Inferiority (Third Update)
Just like that, he walked forward aimlessly. As he walked, he unknowingly arrived at the small river at the foot of the mountain behind the village.
There is a two-meter-wide wooden bridge across the river. There are half-man-high wooden stakes nailed to both sides of the wooden bridge, and iron chains are pulled on the wooden stakes.
After passing this bridge, you can lead to the school on the hillside in front.
This bridge did not exist originally. It was built by Qing'er and Sanshu with the villagers when the school was built.
When the water rises in spring and summer, the river is almost submerged to the small bridge, and iron chains are pulled on both sides to ensure the safety of the students.
It is the middle of winter now, and the water level has already receded, leaving a shallow water level in the river. Standing in it, you will be submerged up to your chest at most.
Yang Yongxian recalled in his mind that at that time Li Xiuxin often walked all the way from Lijia Village to the foot of the mountain behind Changping Village by gathering firewood or hunting pigweed.
Many times, she stood on this small bridge, tiptoeing towards the hillside school.
He led the students in the school to read and memorize the Four Books and Five Classics.
Occasionally, you can see her figure when you look down from the window.
How wonderful it felt at that time.
There is a kind of silence that is better than the sound, and there is a tacit understanding in it that can only be understood but cannot be expressed.
Why?
Why is it like this when you get married?
Yang Yongxian's mind was in a mess, with a bunch of pictures flashing through his mind, a bunch of questions, and most of all, doubts and low self-esteem about his own body.
A biting cold wind blew over, and he shuddered, his stomach suddenly churning.
All the wine I drank tonight is making a fuss in my stomach.
He held onto the wooden stake beside him with one hand, covered his mouth, leaned down and vomited wildly.
I was so vomited that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and the sun and moon had no light.
After vomiting, he felt a little more awake. He raised his sleeves to wipe the stains from the corners of his mouth, straightened up and was about to turn around.
I didn’t know what I stepped on, and I fell into the river behind...
When the sky was bright, Luo Fengtang and Luo Blacksmith Yang Huazhong all dragged the melon. Guomijiu went to the Tutu Temple in the south of the village to burn incense.
Everyone brought home-made snacks and other snacks, gave them to each other, and then toasted each other, burned incense, set off firecrackers, wished each other new year, and said auspicious words.
Yang Huazhong searched around the crowd, and then asked Yang Huaming and Yang Huazhou: "Where are the boys in the big house? How did you see Yongzhi?"
Yang Huaming also searched around and said, "Yes, where are Yongxian and Yongjin?"
Yang Huazhong asked: "When you two came here to burn incense, didn't you go to the front yard to call them?"< br>
Yang Huaming shook his head and said: "The young couple is sleeping, go over and say sorry."
Yang Huazhou also said : "When we separated at night, I specifically told the three brothers to come over and burn incense at dawn."
Yang Huaming grinned and said: "This is not easy, young people You are so full of energy, you might have done something else with your wife in your arms after you went back to the house, and you were tired and couldn’t get up!”
Yang Huazhong rolled his eyes at Yang Huaming and said, "As an elder, can you be more serious?"
The man subconsciously glanced at his son-in-law Luo Fengtang and niece-in-law Ahao, who were a few steps away, lest they listen. arrive.
Fortunately, Luo Fengtang and Ah Hao both had sharp ears, but they had a tacit understanding and pretended not to hear.
Yang Huazhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then looked away and said to Yang Huaming and Yang Huazhou: "Yongzhi is over there, let's go and call him over and ask." Soon, the Yang Huazhong brothers squeezed into the crowd. In front of Yang Yongzhi, at this time, Yang Yongzhi was holding his own snacks and giving them to others around him.
Seeing Yang Huazhong and his companions coming over, Yang Yongzhi's eyes were full of joy and he said: "Third uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, come and try my Liu'er's craftsmanship, sugar-fried rice cake."
Yang Huazhong and the others are not. They couldn't resist, so they all took a piece and tasted it in their mouths, and then praised it a few times.
Yang Yongzhi was very happy and said: "If you think it's good, Uncle San, I will ask my Liu'er to make more and give some to the children from house to house."
Yang Hua Zhongdao: "Okay, what about that? Yong Zhi, why are you here alone? "
Yang Yongzhi was startled and said: "Second brother, you don't have to shout. He played cards with Brother Baozhu and the others all night and didn't come back to sleep. .”
"I went to my eldest brother's house to shout, and my eldest sister-in-law told me that my eldest brother had gone out and was not in the house either."
"I thought he went to your third uncle's place to play, but he didn't go." ?" Yang Yongzhi asked.
Yang Huazhong shook his head, "I haven't come here since I paid New Year's greetings. Where did Yongxian go?"
"As the eldest grandson of Lao Yang's family, I can't come here. It's disrespectful to burn incense. If your father finds out about this tomorrow, the old man will definitely not be happy!" said the man.
Yang Yongzhi panicked, "What should we do? Is there anyone in this crowd?"
"No, I just looked again, there is no Yongxian." Yang Huazhou said.
"Then what are you doing in a daze? Let's find him quickly!" Yang Huazhong said.
So, they split up to look for her, and made an appointment to meet at Yang Huazhong's house after a bowl of tea, regardless of whether they could find it or not.
A bowl of tea passes quickly.
“I have searched all the houses in the village that I might visit, but there is none,” Yang Huaming said.
"I asked Da'an and Dajie, but they didn't go either," Luo Fengtang said.
“I searched in front of and behind the village, but there was no one there.” Yang Huazhou said.
“Now we have to wait for Yongzhi,” Yang Huazhong said with a frown, “He has gone home to look for him. Maybe while we are looking for Yongxian everywhere, we can’t say for sure that Yongxian has gone back. !”
Everyone else nodded, of course this is the best.
But then Yang Yongzhi ran back in a hurry, followed not by Yang Yongxian, but by the equally impatient Li Xiuxin.
Everyone understood when they saw that it was Li Xiuxin who was following.
"Third uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, what's going on? What happened to Yongxian?"
Li Xiuxin stumbled into the door and asked with a look of fear on her face.
Before Yang Huazhong could say anything, Yang Huaming spoke first.
"Yongxian's wife, what you are asking is that you are his wife and the one who sleeps with him. I also want to ask you, where is my eldest nephew?" Yang Huaming said angrily, A pair of eyes stared.
In the past few days, Mrs. Liu had been gossiping with Yang Huaming a lot, just adding fuel to the fire and jealousy, saying how Li Xiuxin was unfaithful, and that she was not popular.
Yang Huaming originally quite recognized this dignified and taciturn eldest nephew-in-law. After hearing Mrs. Liu's words, Yang Huaming's opinion of Li Xiuxin instantly dropped several feet.
Especially now, the man is missing and the wife is still in the dark!
"Daughter-in-law Yongxian, please tell me honestly. Did you and Yongxian quarrel tonight?" Yang Huaming continued to ask.
"Otherwise, in the middle of the night, it's freezing cold, and it's New Year's Eve, my eldest nephew has water in his head and runs around blindly!" He said sternly again.
