Chapter 127 It would be great if you were human
The next day, at dawn, he woke up. Today, he needs to chop firewood to buy meat, and also needs to catch mice for the white-eyed wolf.
Another full day.
Stretching, his arm touched something soft and cold. He had touched this feeling last night.
"You little snake crawled into my bed to sleep?"
While he was shocked, he didn't expect that the snake also knew where it was comfortable.It doesn't like dark and humid places, but likes to sleep on the bed just like humans. Is it a snake that wants to become a sperm?
The days passed slowly like this, the little snake was getting bigger and bigger, and it no longer had the appearance of opening its mouth wide at him, so he liked it more and more.
On this day, I went to the mountain to collect firewood with Xiao Zhang again. I heard that Xiao Hua, the daughter of the village chief, was engaged to a boy from the next village. It is estimated that they will get married in the second half of this year.
"That's good." He said with a smile, he threw the firewood into the basket without stopping, and his eyes searched for firewood in other places.
Seeing his indifferent appearance, Xiao Zhang felt unworthy for Xiao Hua, "Brother Jiang, are you really not in a hurry? After I finished talking to Xiao Hua that day, her eyes immediately turned red. How long have you been crying when I got home? The guy from the next door village chased her for more than half a year, you made her sad, so she naturally fell into the arms of others."
So what?
"If you go to her, she probably will change her mind." Xiao Zhang and the village chief's family are neighbors, and they know Xiao Hua's temperament very well.
He put down the firewood in his hand and looked at Xiao Zhang. He was a more realistic person, "Why did you go to her? I am nearly ten years older than her. Leaving aside the age, is it possible that she spent her whole life with a poor man like me? Now it's like this , very good." Xiaohua has a very good temper, gentle and polite, but they are not suitable.
Xiao Zhang sighed, recalling that when he was young, he and Xiao Hua went out to play. At that time, Xiao Hua tripped over a stone and bled profusely from his leg, crying in pain. He was only ten years old at that time, and he was two years younger than him when he could not carry his back. But the girl who was taller than him, Jiang Ge passed by later and carried Xiao Hua back home, maybe Xiao Hua secretly agreed with her at that time.
The two gathered good firewood and took it to the town to sell, and it was sold out in the evening. He bought some vegetables for his family and some meat for Aunt Liu's house, and then went back.
Before reaching the door of the house, a fat peasant woman with red lips and gorgeous clothes stopped him. After a closer look, it turned out to be a matchmaker from the village.
"Oh, Xiao Jiang, you can make my aunt and I wait."
"Auntie, come in." He opened the door and habitually looked at the table, no.Looking at the bed again, there was still nothing, maybe it was hidden under the quilt.
The little snake is easy to scare people, so it's better not to take it out, he thought so, and poured a cup of hot water for the guest, although he might not be able to drink it.
"Xiao Jiang, I came today to tell you something nice." The matchmaker sat on the stool by the table to herself.
He knew the purpose of the matchmaker.
Sure enough, the matchmaker said that he was the only older man left in the village, that his life-long event was a major event in the village, and that the woman was from the next-door village.
Because of his handsome appearance, the woman didn't dislike him for being old, and even specially asked his family to find a matchmaker in the village to talk about marriage.
In the eyes of others, it is a great thing for him, a pie in the sky.
"Auntie, look at my family's bare walls, and my own life is difficult, how can I let others suffer with me?"
"Oh, she doesn't dislike her. Her family already knows about your situation, otherwise why would they let me come over? You, relax."
"You see, when it rains heavily in summer, there is a danger of water leakage at home, and I have to worry about it. Let's forget it."
"The girl said she didn't mind."
"I can't bear to let others suffer with me."
No matter what the matchmaker said, he just politely refused. In the end, the matchmaker couldn't bear it anymore and said that when you get married, you two can share the burden together. Don't worry about these little things in advance.
But he said, how is this a trivial matter?This is deceiving people.As for him, he is old, has no money, and has a stinky skin, so how can he make the woman happy.
What's more, he doesn't even have any money to get married. Aunt Liu has been suffering from illness all year round and needs to take medicine, so he has no money.
The matchmaker was completely speechless, and left angrily after saying that he was determined.
The little snake hidden in the quilt vaguely heard the two talking back and forth, and saw the fat human leave in a strange mood, so it crawled out slowly.
The little snake sensed that the atmosphere was not right, fell from the bed, and crawled to the man's feet. It wanted to know why human beings always have weird emotions.
For a while, rumors of his refusal to get married spread throughout the village.
"I think he's a bit ignorant, and he's still stubborn. He thinks that even nine cows can't be brought back, and he doesn't know who his temper is. His parents who passed away were not so stubborn." The matchmaker said angrily. Others said, she said that she had never made a mistake in kissing for so many years, but she was suddenly rejected by an older man, her signboard was smashed, and the woman lost face.
"I think, let's stop proposing to him. Who would marry him under his conditions?"
Two days later, when Aunt Liu heard about it, she put down her work and waited for him to talk about it when he was at home in the evening. As soon as his man was cooking, he warmly invited Aunt Liu to have dinner together. "Don't eat, Xiaojiang, let me tell you straight, you need to get married, otherwise, when you get old, how can anyone take care of you?"
"Yes, you are strong and strong now, and you can support yourself. What will you do later if you can't work?"
He put down the firewood stick, placed Mrs. Liu by the table, and said gently: "Mother, I know what you mean, but how can I give that person happiness in my family? I am already 26, and the children of ordinary families are very big Well, I think it’s better to forget it.”
"The girl the matchmaker introduced to you two days ago, didn't she mind your family background?"
"But I'm afraid I won't be able to give people what they want, because expectations don't match reality."
"Maybe, I also need to be like my aunt..."
Before he finished speaking, Aunt Liu retorted: "What kind of useless words are you talking about? Are you sure that the children you will raise in the future will be as filial as you?"
He smiled, "It's okay, I'll be alone for the rest of my life."
Aunt Liu had never noticed that this person was so stubborn, and finally she was unable to communicate with him and left.
He didn't eat, and sat on the edge of the bed blankly. The little snake sensed the different emotions around the man, and stood up to look at him rarely.
"Little Snake, I made Madam unhappy." As she spoke, she lowered her head and laughed at herself.
"It would be great if you were human, we can be companions together."
The little snake spit out the letter, climbed onto him, and touched his cheek lightly.
