Author: Mu Haifeng

After singing Qin Wan, it was twelve o'clock, Er Ni took the orchid's hand and did not let go, pulled her into her house with the monkey on the second floor, Er Ni rolled up a bed, and drove the monkey into the strong, mountainous house.

Unable to sleep, Dashan knocked on the door again and entered Erni's house, and the monkey followed. A few people, you say one by one, one by one. Finally, the topic fell to Orchid, Er Ni wanted to hear about Orchid before entering the city, several people agreed, Orchid looked at everyone, and a tear overflowed from the corner of her eye.

Orchid looked at the ceiling and lowered her voice: "That is something I will never forget in my life, that year, I was only seven years old---。 ”

Er Ni made a cup of hot tea for the orchid and stuffed it into the palm of the orchid's hand.

Orchid put down the teacup, and tears fell in strings: "When I was seven years old, my father went up the mountain to collect firewood, fell from the hanging rock and died, and my mother remarried a butcher, who was fierce and often beat my mother all over her body. I can't see that when I was eleven years old, a person went to the county to file a complaint, and met a young woman on the road, and the woman was very good to me, not only bought me good food, but also bought me good clothes, and said that she recognized a county official who specialized in solving problems like husband and wife fighting, but it was not very good, these two days this senior official is not there, go to the province to hold any meeting, when he returns, I will definitely send you there. Looking at her smiling face, I nodded happily. The woman took me far, far and long, long in the car. I asked her, don't lie to me? She said, "I lied to you Wang Basheng, and I will take you to see the official in two days." When it was getting dark, we came to a remote village, where only a few families lived, and the distance between the houses was far away, surrounded by a heavy mountain, I was so afraid. Clutching the woman's hand tightly, she cried for her mother. The woman led me to a family in their fifties, with a boy in his twenties under his knees, who was mute. I had a full meal at his house, my mother's favorite handmade noodles, sprinkled with some green onions, and a few oil beads floating on the soup, which was my favorite meal. I ate a large bowl of beauty and fell asleep in a daze to the sound of their conversation. ”

Later, Er Ni gestured for Orchid to drink tea, and Orchid drank two sips, tears welling up in her eyes: "Later, when the sun shone on me, there was the mute sitting next to me, and he was grinning." Seeing that I woke up, I was busy shouting at my mother who was feeding the cows in the yard, and the woman walked quickly into the house and smiled at me, woman, you finally woke up. I got up and looked around, the woman who had taken me was gone, and I rushed into the yard, looking for her everywhere, and I wanted her to take me to file a complaint. I ran around like a wild horse out of control, running towards the side of the road in the distance. The couple and the little mute chased after me, and I ran and ran, and I wrestled and fell until I couldn't run. The couple sat beside me, the man with silver-gray hair, his face crawling with wrinkles, like the roots and whiskers of an old locust tree, his face was thin, his clothes were dirty, and a long red belt tied around his waist, which was black and red, and seemed to have not been washed for a long, long time. ”

The man looked at the orchid, smiled, and showed a mouthful of yellow teeth: "Girl, you run, here you can run, there are mountains everywhere, wolves, insects, tigers and leopards everywhere, you are not afraid of losing your life, you continue to run tomorrow." Tell you, we are this stupid son, you are our daughter-in-law who bought for two thousand yuan, now, you are brothers and sisters, when you turn sixteen, we will marry you, and you will live here honestly. You see, how beautiful the scenery is here, as long as people are diligent, eat fragrant and drink spicy all day! When the little mute heard his father say the little daughter-in-law, he jumped up happily and shouted in a wow.

Orchid's tears squirmed on her rosy face like two crawling bugs: "It's over, it seems that I was deceived by human traffickers." I am so stupid, why do I believe in a woman with a kind eyebrow so much? Hey, sue me, let me see again, I will definitely bite off one of your black mother's arms. Mom has said many times, don't believe a person casually, in the future life, you have to go through all kinds of ups and downs, no matter what, your own business, you have to rely on yourself, you have to be calm, there will be a way. Orchid remembered a phrase her mother used to nag when she was three or four years old, and she remembered now, how important it was! Yes, now, only on their own. ”

Orchid cried out softly: "Uncle and aunt, I listen to you, play well with the big brother, you can rest assured, I will not be half-hearted, but I just miss my mother." The old woman looked at her wife, and both laughed. That's right, when you get married in the future and give birth to a man and a half girl, I will let you go back to your mother's house, take your mother over, and enjoy the blessings here! ”

Orchid's vow did not change the two couples' vigilance towards themselves. Every day, when the little mute took her hand and ran across the vast meadow in front of the door, she pretended to be very happy with a smile. She also pinched the little mute's collapsed nose and kept calling out to her brother, and she asked the little mute to take her to play in the farthest places she could around, in order to find a way to the outside of the mountain. But every time, she would see, far away, the hot eyes of the black and thin man, green and green, like hungry wolves foraging at night.

Orchid knew that she had not yet eliminated the impression in the master's mind. That is, only by working steadily and doing things honestly, can I jump out of the eyes of the two couples, look for opportunities, and escape from the mountain. In addition, he must also learn to ride a horse and use a good horse to achieve his own purpose of leaving here. A month passed, and Orchid learned all the chores in the couple's home: carrying water, cooking, laundry, noodles, planting melons, harvesting vegetables, and everything could be done. The second month passed, and Orchid learned to ride a horse with the little mute, who was very good at riding, and he could do all kinds of movements on a galloping horse. Such as bending down to pick flowers on the grass, doing various handstands, dressing and undressing and hats, or taking off the hands or lying on the back of a horse. In short, she is already an all-round rider. And Little Orchid, in order to learn to ride a horse, I don't know how many times she fell off the horse. In the two months since she began to learn to ride a horse, her body was full of bruises and purples, and she was so distressed that the old woman took out her own ancestral secret ointment and applied it to the orchid over and over again. In the third month, Little Orchid can walk a horse alone. In the fourth month, she offered to race horses with the little dumb, and the result was a little slower than the little dumb. In the fifth month, the little orchid had the upper hand slightly. Once, she saw the highest mountain in the east, a horse race with the little mute, who arrived a minute earlier than the little dumb. She looked around, and with a burst of joy, she saw far away, a road stretching into the distance, and a large truck was speeding on the road.

After another month, the opportunity finally came, and the old couple went to visit relatives together. I won't be able to come back until the evening. Early in the morning, the couple repeatedly told their dumb son to take care of their little sister, and there was everything in the pot to eat; After that, he got into the carriage and ran towards his relatives' house on the other side of the mountain.

Little Orchid ate a belly full of things beautifully, and she smiled affectionately at the little mute: "Dumb brother, let's go horse riding, I want to ride a horse!" The little mute looked at the sweet smiling face of the orchid and nodded blandly. He went to the stable and pulled out two horses, one red and one white, the white horse rode by himself, and the red horse gave way to the orchid. The red horse is the horse that Orchid often practices, and the most affection with Orchid, the two horses walk a big bend in the vast grassland. Orchid said to the little dumb: "Dumb brother, let's be a Tibetan cat, you close your eyes, ten minutes later, I will appear in front of you on horseback, there will be many flowers in front of you, I will weave these flowers into a garland, and let you personally put them on my neck." Do you like me, dumb brother, and if you like it, promise your sister once, okay? The mute looked at the big eyes of the orchid, and he seemed to see that the orchid was galloping from the border line of the grassland on a big red horse, and in her hand, it was full of many flowers of all colors, and after a while the horse came to his side, and the orchid called out to his brother, and the flowers descended like clouds in the sky, surrounding him and the orchid, and they laughed sweetly and jumped, like two foals of joy.

The little mute slowly closed his eyes. At that moment, the little orchid quickly raised the whip, and with a whip, the blood-red horse rushed towards the eastern mountain bag like a fire, like an arrow from Xuan. Within ten minutes, the little orchid had climbed over the mountain bag, and she kept waving her whip, ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes until an hour, and the man and horse were panting. What seemed to her to be only twenty minutes away, but she ran for more than an hour, and she finally stood in the middle of the road, patting the red horse's butt, stroking the horse's shiny fur over and over again, and her tears welled up like a lake bursting the embankment.

A large truck rushed over, the little orchid shouted loudly to stop, the big truck stopped beside her, a middle-aged driver opened the door, bearded, and held a cigarette in his mouth: "Little woman, what's the matter?" The little orchid slapped the horse's butt hard and signaled it to return to the little mute's side. The little red horse let out a long roar, lingered beside the little orchid for a while, and ran slowly towards the road.

Little Orchid quickly recounted her experience. The bearded man smiled: "Little girl, when you meet me, you meet a bodhisattva, you meet a savior, I will definitely send you home, come, get on the car!" The bearded man stretched out his thick hand, and the little orchid jumped and sat in the passenger seat of the cab. As soon as the bearded man stepped on the accelerator, the big truck ran wildly on the somewhat potholed road like a big angry lion, dragging a long gray sand array. Little Orchid's face finally showed a rare smile, she finally triumphed, she was excited, she burst into tears. Suddenly, through the gray sand array, he saw the little mute chasing after him on the big white horse, more than four hundred meters away from the big truck, and the little mute shouted loudly while waving the whip. She knew that she was shouting at herself, how she wished she could stay. Little Orchid's tears welled up like a spring. To put it in his heart, although the little mute can't speak, he has a kind heart, and in these days, he takes care of himself like his own sister, and if there is good food, he has to keep it to himself, watching himself eat greedily, he often laughs so hard that he can't close his mouth. If it weren't for the traffickers, his parents wouldn't have forced her to be a mute daughter-in-law, and she really wanted to recognize him as an older brother and take care of him for the rest of her life. Thinking of this, she waved to the little dumb in the distance, dumb brother, if possible, I will come back to see you, you go back quickly, don't chase! Looking at Little Orchid's waving arm and listening to Little Orchid's little lark-like loud voice, the little mute stopped, and several tears welled up in his eyes.

"And then?" The monkey's eyes rolled around.

Later, Uncle Bearded personally handed me over to the Shicheng County Public Security Bureau. When parting, I held Uncle Beard's hand and burst into tears: "Uncle Beard, I will remember your great kindness!" I asked Uncle Bearded to leave an address, and Uncle Bearded smiled and said, "By the way, who hasn't had a big disaster, if we have a chance in the future, we will meet again, you invite me to eat a beef bubble!" "After breaking up with the beard, I was escorted back home by the county public security bureau.

"And later?" Oyama asked.

"Later, when I was twelve years old, my stepfather died of eating poisonous pork, and my mother led my brothers and sisters back to their old house, which is now the house in Houliu Village. Since then, people have said that the mother has never married again. ”

After listening to the story of the orchid, Oyama shoved a ball of napkins into the palm of the orchid's hand. For a while, everyone was speechless.

For a long time, Er Ni broke the deadlock: "The trafficker is really a villain, angry to kill this girl, if it weren't for Sister Orchid's cleverness and scheming, I don't know what kind of foreign crime she is suffering at this time?" ”

The monkey said: "What else can you do, give birth to children for people who are dumb!" ”

Er Ni said: "Give birth to your mother's feet, if you are a child, you must slaughter this human trafficker's family!" ”

The monkey said: "What do you slaughter, slaughter a fish with trembling hands, besides, that human trafficker, a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, wanders around the country, like you, it's good if you haven't been sold." ”

Another stream of tears welled up from the corner of Orchid's eyes.

Er Ni glanced at the mountain with her eyes: "Mean ah, and the monkey is a bear, no eyes, dry stare!" ”

Oyama drew two napkins and gently wiped the tears for the orchid.

Dashan pushed the orchid and said softly: "The past is gone, we will not have the next one when we go, the road in front of people is dark, our future road is long, what is there to ask a few friends around, there are difficulties to carry and share with blessings!" ”

Er Ni said with a smile: "Brother Da Shan is worthy of being a big brother, you see, the big truth is a set of things, that is like a monkey, a stone, just know how to make the strength to do wood work." ”

The monkey said: "The eldest brother is right, there are difficulties and blessings to share together, since the heavens have arranged us in a boat, we have to fight against fate, there is no obstacle that cannot be passed." After speaking, he grabbed Dashan's hand with one hand and glared at Er Ni again. Er Ni glanced back at the orchid, and the orchid grinned knowingly, her four hands tightly clasped together.

At this time, the strong voice outside the window shouted: "What a good thing, and there are blessings to share miles, and it is not called Shangli!" After that, he brought three bottles of beer over, and the monkey took out a few disposable cups and poured one for each person.

The five people touched together, Zhuang Zhuang and Monkey drank dry in one sip, Dashan drank half a cup, and Orchid and Erni each took a small sip.

Zhuang Zhuang looked at everyone and turned the cup around: "Meaning!" Oyama couldn't help it, and drank the remaining half of his beer in one go. Zhuang Zhuang looked at the orchid again, "Dry, dry, sister-in-law, this is a glass of happy wine!" "The orchid face is difficult to color, and Dashan grabbed the cup and drank it with his neck. Er Ni took another small sip and looked back at the monkey, the monkey couldn't help, and also took the cup and drank it.
