In Jia Pingwa's novels, the heroines have always been extremely beautiful, and they have always experienced one suffering and will suffer another. In the end, the beautiful woman will run to the unknown future in the boundless sea of love and hatred, or fall into the mountains and rivers like a strong man with a broken wrist.
The same is true of the woman in "Five Quills", and her specific name is not stated in the novel, but this does not affect the image of the woman in the slightest.
There are so many forks in the chicken village that it is impossible to carry the flower palanquin when marrying a relative, so there is a job of carrying the bride. The five quills are well-proportioned, have great strength and good foot strength. He has been carrying his bride since he was sixteen years old, and it has been ten years since he counted, and naturally he has seen many brides. But this woman who was about to become the bride of the Liu family was different, it was a beauty he had never seen in his life, and as soon as he entered the door to carry her to marry, Wu Kui sweated profusely.
On the way from the Yao family to the Liu family in Jigongzhai, except for the bridesmaids who are urging all the way, all the offspring who receive relatives do not want to hurry up. They deliberately or unconsciously spent time in order to look at the beautiful bride on the back of the five queens.
A bee stung five times, but it aroused the concern of the originally shy bride, which instantly brought the distance between the two closer. Wu Kui's heart was warm, and he actually had evil thoughts in his heart. He thought that if a few bandits rushed out at this time and snatched the woman, he would not have to carry her into the Liu family, or he could carry her around the mountains and rivers to avoid the bandits, and then carry her into the Liu family. In this way, he spent a lot more time with her, which was also wonderful for him.
Thinking about it, a group of bandits sprang up, and the people who came were dressed in white and white pants, obviously people from the White Wind Village. This White Wind Village never harassed the people in its own realm, but in other realms, people smelled different.
The bandits quickly noticed the woman behind the five queens, and they were amazed, so they immediately decided to take the woman back to be the lady of the press. Wu Kui ran with the woman on his back, but in the end, he was still chased by bandits with large knives. Just as the knife was about to fall, the woman shouted "Stop", and finally, she exchanged herself for the lives of everyone, including the five queens.
At this point, it is already doomed to the entanglement of the five queens and the woman after that. The woman's such an act deeply shocked Wu Kui, who should have protected her, but in turn became the object of protection. Especially protected by such a beautiful woman, Wu Kui could not be at ease, nor could he ignore women. He was going to see her, to save her, even if he lost his life, as long as she could understand the true meaning of it, he would die without regret.
Wu Kui is not a hero Haojie, but he has already fallen into the vortex of "hero sad beauty pass". At this moment, the five leaders are determined to be a hero, no matter what the result is, he will let the woman see the same heart traces as the sunset traces.
Wu Kui rushed to Baifeng Village, and he was very surprised that Tang Jing, the head of Baifeng Village, was actually a handsome teenager. Tang Jing's former Lady Press zhai was also a beauty, only because her pants were torn off when the swing was too high, and she was killed by a shot.
Tang Jing was very easy-going and polite, and Wu Kui lied to him that the woman's body had been seen by his cousin, she was the daughter of Kefu, and later decisively drank the "poisonous wine" that Tang Jing tried to test him. In the end, Wu Kui really saved the woman like a hero, and was also invited by Tang Jing. Of course he refused, he couldn't let the woman stay in the bandit's den, he wanted to take her to the Liu family to be a bride in its entirety.
But at this time, the Liu family was no longer the Liu family that was waiting for the happy event before, but a miserable storm. On the same day, the bride voluntarily was robbed in exchange for the safety of others, Wu kui was knocked unconscious by the bandits with the back of a knife, and the other mates returned to the Liu family with the complete dowry.
When Young Master Na Liu heard that the bride had been abducted by bandits, he took a shotgun and stepped on a stool to get the explosives. Who would have thought that his hand had just picked up the explosives, but the leg of the stool was broken, and the person fell down and the explosives exploded at the same time. When people rushed in, they saw that the young master lying in a pool of blood had lost his legs.
Now that Wu Kui had returned to the Liu family with the woman on his back, he would not have thought that this would become the most regrettable thing in his life.
No matter how Wu Kui explained the woman's innocence, the Liu family could not really believe it. It wasn't until Mrs. Liu had used the earth method that she believed that the woman had not lost her virginity. The woman became the real Grandma Liu Shao, and Wu Kui also left. Originally thought that everything was calm, who knew that the tragedy of the woman had just begun.
In fact, when Wu Kui saw that Young Master Liu had become like that, remorse struck like that. He felt that he had harmed the woman, and if she married the young and heroic pawn in Baifeng Village, it would be better than letting her accompany such a young master Liu.
When a woman marries another woman, in addition to the heartache due to regret, wukui also has a pain out of the love of men and women. When he carried her behind her back to marry, she was voluntarily robbed by bandits for him, and he risked his life to break into the bandit village alone and drink the "poisonous wine". Unconsciously, they have so many memories that belong only to two people, and the clear past is wrapped in an unspeakable attachment and has entered the corner of the heart.
I don't know whether this young master Liu was originally violent or had lost his legs before he became psychologically twisted, in short, after the woman became Liu Shao's grandmother, she did not have a good day.
After the crippled, Young Master Liu would be irritated when he saw anything with legs, including his beautiful wife. So loud slaps, unbearable insults, women's quiet cries... It became the voice of the Liu family.
All this was heard by the five quils who later happened to go to the Liu family to herd cattle. Wu Kui gave up the job of carrying the bride and started a long-term job in the Liu family, with no salary, only two quintals of wheat a year. He was not angry, but he was willing, just so that he could see women often.
Seeing the woman living a life worse than death, listening to her mournful or grumbling cries, Wu Kui fell into deeper self-blame and pain.
One day, the woman broke into Wu Kui's bedroom, and she hugged Wu Kui and cried loudly, and begged him to take her away. The great Liu family, she only trusted the five quillies, and now this breakthrough is even more desperate. She pounded her little feet, hating herself for falling into the pit of fire, but she didn't have a pair of feet that could run fast to escape.
The Willow Treasurer and the Housekeeper took the woman and drove away the Five Queens. When Wu Kui, who was holding a roll, left the Liu family, he also heard the sound of the sole of his shoe slapping the woman's face. Wu Kui felt that he was about to go crazy, but there was nothing he could do.
In the days when Wu Kui and the woman were in the Liu family, they silently gave each other care. The pants she changed for him, the warm water he warmed the cloth for her... Still tired, they became the only warmth they had for each other. Wu Kui was gone, and the woman was crippled in both legs in this encounter, and she quickly withered away in the cold tyranny. Looking up, it was pitch black.
Wu Kui was a man of great affection, and he had never hated his incompetence and weakness as much as he did now. He wants to be the hero in a woman's heart, he brought her into the abyss, but he can't save her from water and fire.
As the grass piles on the large field at the mouth of the village caught fire, Wu Kui took advantage of the chaos to rescue the woman. He ran with the woman on his back for an unknown amount of time, ran to a deep and deep mountain forest, and retreated into seclusion.
Wu Kui settled his home in a broken temple in the mountain forest, and he cut down many wooden branches to repair the temple, which was also decent. He picked wild fruits and fish to make food for the two of them, opened up a wasteland, and usually cut firewood to sell, and his life got better day by day.
However, for this woman he clearly admired, Wu Kui did not dare to contaminate half a point. On the night of the first visit to the temple, he used branches to erect a wall in the house to separate their bedrooms, and the wall has not been removed since then.
The woman who had been reborn gradually regained her vitality, and although she could no longer stand up, her spirit and face were getting better day by day. But as time went on, she also seemed to have a faint sadness.
Wu Kui knew that it was loneliness, and although the woman had hinted at him many times, he could not cross the hurdle. He is a hero who can save her from fire and water, who can give her a stable life, but he can't make a woman feel that saving her is for himself. So Wu Kui has always insisted, insisting on letting that wall exist, insisting on not understanding the hints of women. In the end, he and the woman were called brothers and sisters, and under the woman's faint smile, the sorrow deepened.
Do the Five Queens love women? love. But the feudal class concept is there, the definition of "hero" is there, so the five heroes must continue to hold on to their principles for their sake. The love of the five queens is really infuriating.
Later, Wu Kui bought a beautiful yellow dog for the woman, so that when he went out to sell firewood and hunt, the woman had a companion. He understood her loneliness and could only make up for it in this way.
And so the tragedy happened. One day, Wu Kui saw a woman and a dog sleeping with a dog hugging outside the door, and at that moment, he seemed to feel that the world was still. On a clear day, Wu Kui took the yellow dog and the woman to a deep stream to watch the scene, and then he used a meter to hang the yellow dog in the air.
When the woman reacted to everything, she grabbed a deep blood mark on her face with her hands, and then her hands fell down to the stream.
I still remember the day I first became a bride, the kissing team deliberately rubbed, and as a result, they encountered bandits. Is there something wrong with her beautiful face? There is nothing wrong with it, but it is like a butterfly effect that creates a tragedy.
When a woman survives this suffering at the cost of a pair of legs, why do two people who love each other end in tragedy? Only because the wall of feudal consciousness that hangs between them is even more terrible, the selfish "hero theory" of the Five Queens is even more terrible. So he saved her from the man-made disaster, but he couldn't save her trapped by the invisible spiritual shackles, and even pushed her to a dead end.
A year later, the ruined temple had been transformed into a small village, where a gang of bandits lived violently, and eleven of the pressed ladies had been robbed of the village. The bandit who is in charge of the house is known as the Five Quills.
I think that in the evening when the sun is drinking blood, Wu Kui will still be silent for a long time at the nearby stream. The mountain breeze seemed to be saying to him, "The next time you pass by, there will be no self in the world." ”
