#以书之名#
The book "The Quiet Don" has reached its second volume.
At the beginning of this volume, the family history of the merchant Mokhov is introduced, as well as the history of his own fortune.
When I first started reading it, I was a little confused.
Well, why did the conversation change and suddenly began to introduce the merchant Mokhov?
It wasn't until I was introduced to his daughter, Lisa, that it dawned on me.
Isn't this Lisa the girl who was spied on by Mijika with two bare legs?
By the way, one of the things that makes Russian literature a headache for Chinese readers is that the names are too long, and there are so many that when you read them, you can't figure out who is who.
For example, the daughter of the merchant Mokhov is named Elizabeth, and Lisa Veta, Lisa, and Lizka are all her nicknames, which are affectionate between peers or nicknames for elders to juniors.
Many Chinese translations are presented exactly as they are in the original language, and these daimyo nicknames and nicknames are familiar to Russian readers, but for Chinese readers, they are a bit tricky to understand.
In the same way, Gregory's friend Mijka, who Gregory and his father caught a big fish and was going to sell it to the merchant Mokhov for cigarettes, met Mijka on the way there, and whose eyes resembled those of a cat.
This Mijika is the brother of Gregory's new wife Natalia, and it is he who persuaded his sister not to marry Gregory.
Going around and around, it turned out to be these few people.
The merchant Mokhov married the half-mad and half-stupid daughter of the priest and received a considerable amount of dowry money, and only then did he expand his business.
Later, the woman died, but gave birth to Mokhov two children, a son Vladimir, and a daughter Lisa.
His father was a businessman and was busy making money, his biological mother had died, and his stepmother didn't care about his siblings at all.
The siblings have been uneducated since they were children, like a bush of wild wolfberries in the barren forest, growing savagely.
The younger brother, Vladimir, became a withdrawn and depressed man, always with a sad face and a serious look that should not be seen by children.
Lisa, on the other hand, grew up in a bunch of girls mixed with maids and cooks.
She saw the ugliness of life early on, and when she was a naïve, shy girl, the women awakened her abnormal curiosity.
There is an old Chinese saying that food and clothing are lustful. The chef is a prime example.
Cooks are an alternative among the servants, they work in the kitchen and rarely show their heads.
Moreover, the cook eats by hand, which is a skilled job, that is, a skilled woman.
On many occasions in Russia, the word cook is inseparable from debauchery.
Many cooks are people who have seen the world.
When they talked to each other, the oil was big and the salt was big, and it was all meat jokes.
The little girl Lisa grew up in such an environment, what can she learn from hearing and seeing?
I think the reasonable explanation is that Lisa really wanted to taste the forbidden fruit and experience it, and she chose Mijika.
In this way, this Mijika, who has cat-like eyes, should also be a handsome young man.
So, when Lisa first met Mijika, she offered to follow him to fishing.
Her smile was mixed with mockery, and it flashed and stung Mijika like a nettle.
When I read this, I thought there was something going on with the two of them.
However, the author is very clever, and he planted this foreshadowing early.
Sure enough, on the banks of the Don River, Mijica met Lisa again.
Lisa said that she was leaving, and that she wanted to go fishing with Mijica before leaving.
So, where is Lisa going when she leaves the village?
Lisa didn't say.
She smiled elusively: "You must come!" ”
Like the first time, on the balcony of Mokhov's house, her smile itched Mijka's heart like a nettle.
Doesn't it feel a bit of a conspiracy?
Lisa is very pretty, she has just graduated from high school, and she should be less than 20 years old at this time.
Early in the morning, Mijica went.
He climbed over the railing and walked to the window.
A window is ajar.
From the room wafted the smell of the warm body of a sweet, sleeping girl and the smell of perfume that had never been smelled before.
There was a sound of rustling clothes in the room.
The girl's warm voice that had just woken up seemed to have a minty scent in it.
Mijica vaguely saw a white shadow swaying in the room.
"Well, it would be nice to sleep with her...... What kind of fish to catch...... Sitting there, frozen and stiff......"
He inhaled the scent of the boudoir and thought in a daze.
A smiling face with a white turban wrapped around its head appeared at the window.
This is a very ambiguous scene that can easily trigger the reader's association.
Lisa
Then there is the following picture.
The first time you jump out of the window:
Holding one of his hands, she pressed her hand into his face and looked him in the eye.
The second time is to cross the river:
Mijka picked up her thighs with her left hand, picked them up without much effort, and waded towards the boat.
She involuntarily hugged his pillar-like black, stiff neck and chuckled under her breath.
If Mijika hadn't tripped over the stone of the village woman's clothes, there wouldn't have been such a sudden and short kiss!
She let out a scream, her mouth pressed against Mijka's chapped lips.
Mijica stopped, no more than two paces away from the small boat's gray boat.
The water poured into the cuffs of his boots, and it was cold.
The third time we crossed the river to the opposite bank:
The boat came to shore on the edge of a rocky cliff.
Mijika didn't even ask, just picked her up and carried her into the hawthorn bushes on the riverbank.
She bit his face, grabbed him, and screamed in a low voice twice, and then felt paralyzed.
She cried angrily, but not a single tear......
Lisa is actually quite pitiful, she lives in a desert of emotions, and she has lacked love since she was a child.
Her mother died early, her father was focused on making money, and her stepmother ignored her.
There is no mother's love, no father's love, and even her only brother is not close to her.
She has always longed to be loved, and her upbringing exposed her to things that girls of this age should not understand too early, making her very curious about the love between men and women.
Now, there are many young love phenomena in primary and secondary schools, in fact, the main reasons are none other than these two points.
Parents put their minds on work, the family does not give their children enough love, not enough communication, and the Internet, mobile phones, etc. have a negative impact on children, stimulating children's curiosity to try.
It was about nine o'clock before they went back.
Lisa's eyes narrowed tiredly, and her fingers kept folding a flower stem that had blown into the boat.
Mijika's face was filled with indulgent satisfaction and guilt, but also unease......
It should be noted here that Mijica was very thoughtful, and instead of returning the same way, he offered to send Lisa to the Semenov pier to disembark, on the grounds that it was closer to Lisa's home.
Actually, this is only one of the reasons, but more importantly, it is more remote and uninhabited.
Mijica picked up a fish and handed it to Lisa, who had already stepped out of the boat.
"Take the fish you caught! Here you go! ”
Her eyelashes fluttered in panic and she caught the fish.
"Okay, then I'll go."
"Let's go......"
She walked with the fish dressed in wicker, and looked pitiful, and the confidence and joy of not so long ago were lost in the hawthorn bushes.
"Lisa!"
She looked back, and between her brows was a cloud of frustration and confusion.
"Come here."
As she approached, Mijica complained to herself about her embarrassment, and said:
"We didn't pay attention...... Hey, the back of your skirt...... Dirty...... A small piece. ”
Her face turned red all at once, all the way to the base of her neck.
Mijica was silent for a moment, then suggested:
"Then you can go from the secluded place behind the house."
"You have to go through the square no matter how you go, I originally wanted to wear a black dress."
She suddenly looked at Mijika's face with some hatred and muttered sadly.
"How about I dye you with green leaves?"
Mijica just said that, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Mijica looked at her in surprise.
casually proposed, and at the same time very surprised by her tears......
Lisa on the balcony
I've read this passage several times.
This passage should not be classified as a pornographic depiction, but the amount of information implied in it is very large.
It can be seen that the young man Mijica is very thoughtful, including the route home, the fish that gives the girl home as an excuse to go out, and even the blood stains on the back of the skirt, which he suggests to cover up with green leaf juice, etc., all give the reader a sense of immersion.
I don't know if you feel this way, but these descriptions are very graphic.
Reading these words, it is as if there is really a couple of cheating men and women standing in front of them, whispering.
All this should have been Lisa's design, and she even thought of wearing a black dress.
From asking to go fishing together, and teasing the young man, finally got his wish.
However, after tasting the forbidden fruit, Lisa did regret it a little, so she cried.
Because it was not as good as she had imagined, her happiness and self-confidence had been thrown away by herself, in the hawthorn bushes of the Don River.
She's still the same person, but she's not the girl who sits in a rocking chair and eats strawberries anymore.
Reading this, I want to ask, do you really think a 22-year-old hairy guy can write this feeling?
This subtle psychological change of a girl cannot be written about without the accumulation of life!
Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.
The story of the two people cheating quietly spread through the village like the rustle of leaves in the wind.
Lisa left, in a brightly painted Viennese four-wheeled carriage, and was said to have gone to school in Moscow.
I don't think this girl's story is over.
Since fishing, the two have had a total of four trysts.
During the last tryst, Mijica wants Lisa to marry him, but Lisa just answers: You're a fool!
There's no way Lisa could marry Mijka, because Lisa knows very well that cheating games are just a little bit of excitement she was looking for before she left her hometown, and this Mijica is just a tool.
And it's a disposable utensil, the kind that you throw away when you're done with it.
However, Mijica didn't think so, and he went to Lisa's house to propose marriage.
What did he say to Lisa's father?
"Please don't be angry......
I just want to make up for the mistakes I made. ”
"Whatever you want, I'm sincere......
Who would want her to break out like this? I want to save her reputation......
You know, who would pick a gnawed bone? Even dogs don't want to eat it. ”
So, what answer did Mijica get?
Lisa's father picked up a heavy cast iron ashtray and threw it at Mijika's feet.
The ashtray jumped upwards and hit Mijika on his left kneecap.
Lisa's father also released four vicious dogs to bite Mijka.
The four dogs swarmed up: tearing his clothes and dragging him along, each of them bowing like a big black ball, circling around him.
Mijjka resisted with her hands, trying not to fall to the ground.
Mijica shook the latch of the door, and behind his two bloody legs were the barking, hot, foul-smelling dogs.
Lisa leaves the village, and Mijica pays the bloody price.
From these words, it seems that this Mijika is not a good bird either?
Lisa and Mijika's story has come to an end for the time being.
In the future, what will be the fate of the two people?
Will the two of them ever see each other again?
