My mother's family has a secret recipe for breast enlargement and waist thinning.
Just stuff the pill in your belly button.
You can have a delicate body and a fragrance all over your body.
The women of the village flocked to this incense.
But no one knew.
The scent.
The first time I heard the soul, I asked for my life after a long time.
1
In late spring, the cats in the village bark loudly.
The mother gave birth in the East House, and the cry of pain and the cat's meow rubbed together.
It makes my scalp tingle when I hear it.
Finally, my mother gave birth.
My father recited a sentence of Amitabha Buddha and urged me to hurry up and serve porridge.
My father and mother have always been affectionate, and I was afraid that I would be trained by my father a minute later, so I hurriedly went to serve a bowl of brown sugar egg porridge.
Lifting the curtain of the main house, a strange aroma greeted me.
It seems that my mother gave birth to a younger sister for me.
My mother's house has a secret recipe.
The pill made is stuffed into the navel, and it can plump the breasts and waist and fill the body with fragrance.
My mother has been using it for many years, and every time she gives birth to a female doll, it will have its own fragrance.
Dad is holding the fourth sister in his arms and kissing, while the mother is leaning on the head of the bed delicately, her chest is wet, and it looks more charming.
I fed my mother porridge, and the midwife was busy saying hello to my father.
My dad was different from the other men in the village.
He likes female babies, and my mother is also angry, and gave birth to four in a row.
It's a pity that my twin eldest sister and second sister got lost when they helped my father and mother dig medicinal herbs.
Otherwise, it's time to get married this year.
I thought of my sister, and sighed from the bottom of my heart, and saw that my father gave the midwife a bunch of money and a piece of pork as a reward.
The mother-in-law thanked me, glanced at me with bad intentions, and turned to ask my mother.
"I see that Sister Rong'er's condition is getting better and better, presumably your family has to make navel incense this year, if you do, can you leave me a copy?"
My mother looked at me in a panic, and suddenly choked on the porridge and coughed.
My father was not very happy, and said to the woman with a dark face, "If you do it, I will naturally leave you a share...... Sister Rong, help Dad send off guests. ”
The mother-in-law sneered and picked up the pork and went out.
When I got to the door, she asked me how old I was.
I said fourteen.
She snorted twice and shook her head regretfully,
"Your mother is going to make medicine again, it's a pity that you are the same age as flowers......"
I didn't understand what she meant, and looked at her suspiciously.
She stopped, leaned over to my neck, sniffed it, and said "incense."
pinched it on my bulging chest again, "If you can develop your figure, five taels of silver is worth it." ”
I ducked away.
We moved to this village for two years, and my dad and mother made pills for two years.
The pill was red and smelly.
Only 49 servings are made per year.
At first, I wanted to sell the villagers for one or two silver, but no one in this village believed it.
My mother didn't recruit it, so she sold it to the Yingchun Building in the city, five taels of silver, and she got the wealth of the sky.
But who knew that this year, the villagers rushed to find my mother to buy it.
I really answered that sentence.
It's a rush.
It is not a buying and selling.

The courtyard was wet, full of blood and water spilled by the midwife.
The water was red and bright, all the way to the flower pond by the fence wall, and it was particularly dazzling in the big moon.
I went inside.
Dad is helping my mother wipe her body.
My mother's medicine nourishes people, and she has given birth to a child like a virgin.
So my father's eyes are sticky when he looks at his mother all day long.
When my mother saw me, she pushed my father away with a flushed face.
Apricot eyes were full of water, and she pulled up the blanket on one side and rolled it inward, blocking the snow-white leather all over her body.
I buried my head and pretended not to see, and asked my mother.
"Mother, I made the umbilical cord, can we give the leper girl a copy?"
The leper girl was my best playmate, a year older than me, and she was thin and small and covered in leprosy.
Her father always called her ugly, and wanted to match her to the fool in the next village.
I thought privately that if she used the navel incense to become better-looking, she would probably be able to marry better.
But her family has no money.
I could only bask my mother to give her a share for nothing.
But my mother shook her head and said no.
My family has money, and the food and clothing are the best in the village, and even the tea is only tender and spiky.
But whenever I ask, my father and mother will also answer.
But now my mother refused.
My mother took my hand and coaxed me, "Sister Rong, you listen to my mother, that medicine can't be used casually, and if you don't use it well, you will die......
Who believes?
It's just falling into the eyes of money.
Say that if you don't use it well, you will die, didn't my mother use it all her life?
I bought nearly 100 copies in the Yingchun Building in two years, and I haven't heard of any advocate girl who has a short life.
My heart is not happy.
Suddenly a gong rang in the village.
Someone is calling me mother.
"Sister Rong's mother, let's release the kite, go and see the kite release!"
3
My mother has just given birth, so naturally she can't make up any excitement.
My dad was fast, pulled on his shoes, pushed open the door and ran out.
I was about to follow, but I saw my mother's body suddenly tremble.
She hugged her fourth sister with a pale face.
"Sister Rong, don't go!"
I don't know what it means to release a kite, and I'm angry with my mother, where will I listen to her.
Pushing the door open, I followed my father.
Follow to the end of Bluestone Alley.
On the top of the archway hangs a polished woman, with her hair scattered and her mouth stuffed with rags.
There were people all around.
The midwife who delivered my mother was spitting on the ground and gossiping with others.
"Look at her, that big ass with big tits, she looks like a prodigal thing!"
"Look at her thin waist again, her own man is dead, so she drills into the little uncle's house, it's really shameless!"
"She's not the only one in our village who uses navel incense? raised a body of fine skin and tender meat to make a mistake, and deserved to be released from the kite! ”
I wondered.
They don't look down on the woman's figure, but why do they want to buy navel incense from my mother and make themselves like that?
At this time, the patriarch climbed upstairs.
He used the scissors in his hand to cut under the woman a few times.
She tensed in pain, her head tilted back. But when he stuffed a cloth in his mouth, he couldn't shout.
Immediately after, the patriarch pulled out something.
He held the thing in his hand and cut the rope from which the man was hanging with his scissors.
The woman planted the archway like a kite, but there was a long line behind her!
That thread turned out to be her intestines!
There was a shout of applause, and the midwife and the woman beside her grabbed the stones on the ground, scolding and smashing them.
The woman's eyes were open, and blood foamed from her mouth.
I didn't dare to look at it anymore, so I ran home with my weak legs!
When I rushed into my mother's room, my father followed.
The mother couldn't care about the fourth sister who was crying for milk, and asked anxiously.
"Got a kite? Who is it? ”
"The King's widow." My dad replied lightly.
Last year, when my mother was making pills, the widow Wang in this village bought one.
said it was bought, but in fact, my mother secretly gave it away.
The widow was covered with dark spots, and her bucket waist was flat.
Since I have used the medicine, I am getting more and more exquisite day by day.
The people in the village saw her becoming more and more sultry, and they all wanted to buy medicine with my mother this year.
I was trembling with fright, and I was held in my mother's arms.
But there was uncontrollable joy in my mother's tone.
She asked my dad.
"Does it look good to fly a kite?"
My dad snorted and looked at my mother dotingly.
"Beautiful."
The thought of that intestine makes me feel sick.
I suddenly thought of what my mother told me before - that medicine can't be used casually, and if you don't use it well, you will die!
There was a blackness in front of him.
I tilted my head and fainted.
At the moment of fainting.
I heard my mother ask my father.
"Did you get that thing back?"
4
I don't know when I'm going to go back to the house.
By the time I woke up, it was already dawning.
There was a voice in the courtyard.
I got up.
Through the window, I saw my dad carrying a few buckets of water.
He washed all the blood in the courtyard and quieted it.
Then he took a shovel and went to the flower pond and buried something in it.
Not long after, people came to the house one after another.
They are all mothers-in-law, carrying brown sugar, millet and eggs to milk.
I'm afraid they'll talk about last night again.
Fortunately, they didn't talk for a few words, and they began to beg my mother to sell them the medicine.
I tried my best to serve them tea and water, but they looked at me and talked to each other.
I was covered in hair, so I simply went out of the yard to find the leper girl's house.
She was chopping wood, and I handed her the cake, and she gobbled it into her mouth.
Choked and rolled his eyes.
I patted her on the back, and she finally got her breath, and suddenly thought of something, and said to me in a low voice.
"Sister Rong, is your family going to make medicine again? Hurry up and run, the people in the village say that your family makes that pill, and you have to be broken and scattered to make medicine primers first! ”
I was taken aback.
"Nonsense! My father and mother love me so much, how can I give it up? ”
"Why can't you give up? They all said that your two sisters didn't lose it at all, but they were killed by your father and mother to make medicine! ”
I shook and almost sat on the floor.
My two older sisters are twins and have always been inseparable.
In the first year of moving here, my father and mother took them to the mountains to collect medicine.
But when I came back in the evening, only my father and mother came back.
They said the two older sisters got lost together.
The people in the village helped me look for it for a few days, but then my mother didn't let me find it.
She said she was probably eaten by a wild wolf.
After that, my father and mother began to make navel incense, and it didn't take long for the first pot to come out......
I swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.
Leave the leper girl and run home.
The east wing of the house is specially used to make medicine, and my father and mother never let me in.
I want to see, what is the material of the navel incense?
Pushing open the courtyard door, my father was lying on a wicker chair basking in the sun.
In the vegetable garden, his good brothers from the village were ploughing.
My dad is a lazy man, and in addition to making pills all year round, he usually only invites cats and dogs to brag and farts with his brothers.
I was so lazy that I had to clean up the vegetable garden at home.
The men craned their necks to look into my mother's window, and when they saw me coming back, they reluctantly withdrew their eyes, spat in the palms of their hands, and continued to work with their hoes.
With my father watching, I didn't dare to go to the East Chamber.
So he brought tea to my father.
The men looked at me.
"Sister Rong'er's body is a little taller."
"My sister's body is still so fragrant, and her face is whiter when she looks at it."
Usually when they see me, these are the words.
But listening now, my legs under my pleated skirt trembled, and fear was like the cold wind of Laba, digging into the cracks of my bones inch by inch.
I pursed my lips and didn't say anything, those people were shy for me.
Said to himself.
"Five taels of silver, if you can raise your mother-in-law to Sister Rong like this, it's worth it!"
"Five taels is not expensive, it is equivalent to a new bride...... I just don't know if our brother is willing to sell that medicine to us. ”
My dad threw a peanut in his mouth and didn't make a sound.
But I saw my mother holding the fourth sister, standing under the window in the house to breastfeed, and answering the road.
"I discussed with Sister Rong and her father, sell you for two taels of silver, sell it this year, and don't do it again in the future. Anyway, I have a daughter, and the money is enough to spend......"
Those uncles looked at my mother greedily and screamed with joy.
But I felt like I had been poured a basin of ice water.
No one paid attention to my mother's words—
In the future, I will raise a daughter, and the money is enough to spend.
Obviously, my mother is now two daughters.
5
I panicked.
Accidentally smashed the teapot in his hand.
The fourth sister was so frightened that she cried.
My mother looked at me with a frown for a long time, glanced at my father, and went back to bed.
My dad drove them away.
I froze for a moment, put away the teapot, turned and walked out the door.
I want to escape.
I didn't want to see what was in the East Chamber, I just wanted to run away.
Just took a foot.
Bang!
When I looked down, I saw a kitchen knife thrown at my feet.
If I take any further step, it will hit the surface of my feet.
I screamed in fright and retracted my feet.
"Sister Rong, where are you going?" My dad asked faintly.
I clenched the corners of my skirt and trembled as I went to throw away the broken teapot.
My dad beaked the chicken Nunu.
"Just throw it in the chicken rack and slaughter a chicken by the way."
I grabbed the kitchen knife on the ground and went to the chicken rack to catch the chicken.
I had something on my mind, my hands were shaking, and the door of the chicken rack opened, but I didn't hold any of them.
The chickens flew all over the yard, and my father scolded and scolded.
I endured the panic and grabbed them one by one.
When he caught the flower pond, a big rooster was digging the soil.
Planing and shaping, it picked up something in its mouth and shook its head.
I leaned in to take a look.
Frightened, he took a few steps back and collapsed completely on the ground.
The big in its mouth.
It's a piece of intestines!
The scene of the widow being released by the kite flickered in my mind over and over again.
Think about it again, my mother asked my father last night, did you get the things back?
I fell on the ground and retched.
My dad came over, tore off the intestine and buried it again, grabbed the and dropped it with a knife.
Chopped the neck directly.
Chicken blood was all over the place.
I think of the round navel incense.
It's also red, the same color as blood.
My father glanced at me, "What are you afraid of, it's a piece of sheep intestines!" ”
As he spoke, he lifted me from the ground and told me to boil water and stew chicken.
I looked back at the pool twice.
When I came to this village two years ago, my mother asked my father to build such a pond to raise flowers.
In the summer, my father and mother always looked at the flowers here, and in the winter, they looked at the empty pool and talked to themselves.
It occurred to me that there seemed to be something buried down there.
Is it, sister?
I was so scared that I suppressed the thought and went into the kitchen trembling.
An hour later, the chicken soup was ready.
I'll bring my mother a bowl of chicken soup.
My mother took a small sip and glanced at me a few times.
"Sister Rong has something on her mind? Why is your face bad? Are you going to play with a leper today? What did the leper say? ”
The mother asked a series of questions.
Every question made me shudder.
I didn't know how to answer, and the fourth sister cried.
My mother asked me to change the diaper of my fourth sister.
When I was done, my mother handed me her bowl of chicken soup.
"Mother has no appetite, you drink it."
I made up my mind to run away tonight.
The thought of leaving my mother made my heart sour.
Swallowing the chicken broth one bite at a time, I wondered if I should take the leper with me when I left.
But I saw my mother's face swaying in front of my eyes.
我朝娘伸出手,"娘......"
Before he could finish speaking, the man fell.
6
My mother drugged the chicken soup when I went to change my fourth sister's diaper.
By the time I woke up, it was night.
I was tied up in the medicine room in the east wing.
My mother stripped me naked, and was humming a song and applying perfume to me.
My mother has always told outsiders that the four daughters in our family are fragrant when they are born.
But I know that we didn't stuff the medicine into the navel to ensure that the aroma continued.
It's because my mother puts balm on her body every day.
I called my mother, and my mother turned on the oil lamp, "Sister Rong, you know something, right?" ”
My tears crackled and fell.
"Mother, do you really want to make me into pills to sell?"
My mother took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands, from the palm to the root of her fingers, she carefully served every place, and patted the fourth sister in her arms.
"Worthless girl, your father and I have been pampering you for all these years, exchange you for some silver, why should you hate us."
My mother was right.
The women in this village are worthless, and there are many people who sleep in a pigsty like lepers, and they are thankful that they don't die of hunger.
Blessed like me, that's the only one.
My mother fed me a sip of honey water.
Suddenly, I heard the calls of the villagers outside.
The voice was high and low, and it was all my name.
I looked at my mother with hatred.
"You told them I was lost too? The people in the village have long known that you killed your daughter to make a medicine primer, who is this for? ”
My mother crossed her little finger to help me wipe my mouth, "Make it for the village, everyone knows what materials to make for that pill, let them know that you are dead, and then they believe that this navel incense is genuine." ”
It's really interesting.
My father and mother pretended that I lost it.
They also pretended to be looking.
In fact, I knew in my heart that I was dead.
The shouting continued for a while, and then faded away.
My mother dusted off the ashes on her clothes.
"Sister Rong, my mother is reluctant to let you go, but I still have to send you on the road."
She gagged me and hung me from a beam.
Then he picked up the scissors and pointed them at me.
I think of the widow of the king who was released from the kite.
I remembered the intestines in the flower pond.
The cold light of the scissors flashed.
I closed my eyes tightly.

Click.
I don't have any pain in my body.
It was so quiet in the room that it was only the crunch of ropes pulling against the beams.
I slowly opened my eyes.
I saw my mother cut a strand of my hair and pinched it in her hand.
I wanted to call my mother, but my mouth was still gagged.
Just then, the door creaked open, and my father returned.
My mother put me down and loosened my bonds, and put on my clothes.
My mother reached out to touch my head, but I was so frightened that I couldn't stand against the corner.
I was paralyzed, I couldn't even speak, I didn't know what she was comfortable with.
Dad came in, saw my mother's hair, and looked at me.
Asked me softly, "Did your mother scare you?" ”
Although I know that my father and mother are not good people, my father's tone still makes me nod aggrievedly.
The fourth sister slept soundly, but my mother suddenly cried.
She tied my strand of hair with a red head rope and beckoned to me, "Sister Rong, don't be afraid, my father is willing to kill you, my mother just scared you." ”
With that, my mother looked out vigilantly.
Dad patted his mother's hand, "Don't worry, no one in this village knows that we are going through the motions to find Sister Rong, and they are all home." ”
I took the cloth from my mouth myself, for fear that they would overwhelm me and make me cry.
"Daddy, if you want to kill me, just slash my neck with a knife, but don't let me suffer."
I wiped my tears from my eyes, "It's better to die, go down there and reunite with my sisters...... It's just Daddy, you leave the fourth sister behind, the family has enough money, don't kill the fourth sister again. ”
I finally had time to speak, and I had to explain all my last words.
"Mother, it's best for the leper girl to follow me in this village, and when I die, mother, you can give the leper some more food."
My mother snorted.
He smiled with tears.
"Sister Rong, you still don't believe in your mother?"
You kill your daughters like hemp.
How dare I believe it.
I begged, "Mother, I'm dying, don't lie to me, I know that the eldest sister and the second sister let you kill it, and what is buried in our flower pond, right?" ”
I looked at her like a tanuki cat, playing with me like a little mouse.
I don't know if it was my conscience that found out, but my mother suddenly choked at this time.
Her tears fell even harder.
My dad sighed.
He walked over to the small stone mill.
After my two sisters went missing, my father cleaned up the East Wing.
Don't look at him lazy, but he made this east chamber by himself, and he didn't need others to help.
The floor of this house is covered with fine planks.
My father bent down and, with a little strength, lifted the plank next to the stone mill and beckoned to me.
"Sister Rong, come and have a look."
I couldn't hold it softly, and I crawled over with a roll.
I saw that under the planks was a cellar, and there was a black hole inside.
At this moment, a bean oil lamp suddenly lit up inside.
The sound of footsteps came, and the lights flickered upward, mottled against the mud walls, like ghost fires.
I was so frightened that I rubbed my body back, and my heart almost jumped out of my throat.
Suddenly, the oil lamp went out.
In that cellar, a human head suddenly popped up!
It was a woman with a snow-white face. I almost screamed.
My mother covered my mouth tightly and pressed the taste in my ear.
"Sister Rong, don't be afraid, take a closer look, that's your eldest sister!"
Eldest sister?
Before I could see it.
The same face came out of the back.
She tapped me with her white fingers.
"Sister Rong... …… I'm the second sister. ”
I froze there.
Since the two sisters disappeared, my mother said that she had let the wolf take them away.
Three
In the past, when I didn't hear the leper say that my sister was made into pills by my mother, I always saw my mother crying, but my sisters really went into the wolf's belly.
But since my sisters are still alive, why is my mother crying?
Why live in this cellar when my sisters are alive?
Why didn't my mother let them go home?
Why did my father and mother have to deceive the people in the village?
Questions crawled in my head, and I stood dumbfounded, forgetting to respond even when my sisters came to hug me.
It was the eldest sister who reached out and pinched my face vigorously before I came back to my senses.
The appearance of the sisters has not changed much, but they have not seen the sun for many years, and their skin has become paler.
I want to open my mouth to ask.
Suddenly, there was a cat's meow outside.
My mother quickly asked my two sisters to take me to the cellar.
Dad covered the plank, stomped on it a few more times, confirmed that the cover was tight, cleaned up a few times with his mother, and went back to the room with the fourth sister.
The cellar was very spacious, and my dad dug it up with the firewood shed next to it, so he didn't hold his breath at all.
There was a large bed in the cellar, and it was enough for the three of us to sleep
There is also a dining table on which food and water are placed.
There are also oil lamps and mirrors, and even balsam for applying faces.
It's really small, but it's full of organs.
My two older sisters, on the other hand, were taller and slightly fatter, wearing clean dresses and neat buns. No matter how you look at it, it's all like you're living a good life.
The three of us cried for a while.
Finally stabilizing my mind, I asked my eldest sister, how did you live here?
The eldest sister told me.
Two years ago, she and her second sister helped her father and mother dig for medicinal herbs.
Because I had just arrived in this village, the road on the mountain was not familiar, and at a fork in the road, my sister got lost with my father.
Not only did they get lost, but the two also fell into the mountain col.
The col was bare, high and steep, and my sister could not climb up, so she had to nest underneath.
Fortunately, there was a pear tree next to it, so she and her second sister did not starve to death.
They stayed there for seven or eight days, but fortunately they were later found by their parents.
Chuqi's mother was happy or something, and when she saw that her two sisters were not seriously injured, she thought about going home to get it.
But I was persuaded by my father. My dad said something at the time.
"The two daughters have been out for seven or eight days, and at this time they are rescued, are you not afraid that the guy will release the kite?"
After that, my father dug the cellar of the east wing of the family, and later took advantage of the night to pick up my two sisters and put them in the cellar.
This release is two years.
"My mother told us that we must not be discovered, otherwise our lives will be lost."
After the eldest sister finished talking about this, she asked me, "Sister Rong, do you know what kite flying is?"
How can you not know.
Not only did I know it, but I saw it with my own eyes.
I endured my nausea and told them about it.
"The widow of the king in the village used the umbilical incense made by our mother to become watery, and she went to drill the little uncle's room and was discovered, and she was just released from the kite."
The two sisters burst into tears.
I pondered for a moment.
"Since I moved to this village, that day was the first time to fly a kite, because when I came back that day, my mother asked my father if it looked good to fly a kite, so I was sure that my father had never seen it before, so when my father found you, why were you afraid that you would be released by the people in the village?"
Besides, the sisters didn't have an affair with a man, so why did they let people fly?
The two older sisters didn't understand either.
We were troubled for a while, so we had to blow out the lamp and sleep.
Early the next morning, my mother came to the cellar to get the urine jar.
Only then did I remember that there was always so much urine in the urine jar that my father and mother poured in the past.
I was still wondering.
Now I finally understand that there are still two sisters who have fallen.
Now that the weather is warm, our sisters are tired of chatting in the cellar during the day, so we go to the vent in the firewood room.
When no one is around, you can also sneak out and take a look.
My mother had already hung my hair on the wall of the East Wing, three strands side by side.
The daughters-in-law who came to visit the door saw it and nodded tacitly.
This is a signal to start making navel incense.
Since I was "lost", more and more people have come to my house to ask for medicine.
After thinking about it, my father and mother finally decided on forty-nine candidates.
Collect the money first, just like my mother promised before, and received two taels of silver for each share.
When the money was collected, I stopped coming to the house if I didn't buy it, and I was busy tending to the crops and seedlings in the field to make up for the two taels of silver, and my house was deserted all of a sudden.
My father was also busy, going up the mountain to collect medicine during the day, and coming to the east chamber to grind medicine at night.
My mother followed with her fourth sister in her arms, and from time to time she let us out to breathe.
My two sisters were timid, and they never understood why they had to release kites when they were seen by the villagers.
I couldn't hold it back and asked my mother.
My mother groaned for a while, "Sister Rong, do you know why Widow Wang died?"
"Got into her uncle's house."
The mother nodded.
"The archway in this village is a chaste archway, the village people value the woman's chastity the most, your two sisters stayed outside for seven or eight days, and then come back to the village, don't be said to be ruined outside, when we have 10,000 mouths can't tell, we can only wait to be released from the kite."
Our sister suddenly realized.
No wonder my mother wanted my sisters to hide under this cellar for two years.
At first, my mother just wanted her daughter to live.
Later, I found that the people in this village regard human life as a mustard, and it doesn't matter if they kill and eat it.
On the contrary, they are still very superstitious about taking living people into medicine.
So my mother will plan and make them think that my two sisters were killed by their own parents to make medicine.
But when I think of this, I feel a little worried.
"Mother, how long is this going to be hidden?"
My mother sighed and looked at the flower pond outside, her eyes reddened.
"It's going to be soon, it won't take more than a year." A year?
I run around the village all day, and I can't stand it anymore after only a few days of detaining me.
Shut down for a year.
I'm afraid I'm not going to go crazy.
I'll be coquettish with my mother.
"Daddy, why don't we move away, we are not from this place, who knows why you and Dad suddenly moved to this village."
We were originally from another county, and we were separated by several mountains from this village.
My grandfather's family owned a pharmacy and did a good job.
One year, someone suddenly came to my grandfather's house, and my mother went to meet him.
When he came back, he was sick and cried so much that he was almost blind.
In this way, the mother cried for three months.
One morning, my father and mother suddenly told us that we were going to move somewhere else.
After that, my mother put balm on our sister every day.
When everyone was about to pickle, Dad said he could go.
We hired a horse-drawn carriage and came to this mountain village with our luggage.
When I got here, my mother told the villagers that she would make navel incense.
Smelly all over the body.
The matter of the abundant breasts and thin waist is fragrant, and the people in the village can believe it when they see our mother's appearance.
It's just that you can just get a pill and stuff it in your belly button, and no one believes it for the time being.
I thought my mother was bluffing, because I hadn't heard of her making this stuff before.
She had never been to her grandfather's pharmacy, and she was usually at home with the soles of Nana's shoes, and her craftsmanship was not very good, and her ten fingers were almost cut into sieve eyes.
Until my mother really made the red pill, a fifty tael was sold to the prostitutes in the Yingchun Building.
I believe that my mother has this ability.
But since you have this ability, it's not good where to go to earn this silver.
We have to let our sister live so aggrieved and fake her death in the cellar.
Living in the dark in this mountain village?
10
My mother heard me say that I was moving.
Shook his head.
"Sister Rong is obedient, my father's business hasn't been done yet, I can't leave, and when the matter is done, let's leave as soon as possible."
I gave my dad a look.
He was throwing a few poisonous scorpions into a stone mill.
The millstone turns, making a gurgling sound.
In the blink of an eye, the poisonous scorpion turned into mud and trickled down the millstone into the vat below.
When my father saw me looking at him, he buried his head to scrape the mud on it, and the urn sounded and the urn said.
"Listen to your mother."
I was deflated.
Then I saw my father bring out a basket of dirt.
Peel off the jacaranda cloth tied to it, and a snake pops out of it.
The snake's teeth have been pulled out, but they are still very high. I shrank my head in fright, only to see my father grab the snake and throw it into the millstone.
Immediately after that, there are the male centipede toad and the gecko.
I was so shocked that I almost jumped.
"Dad, mother, do you use these poisons to make pills? This thing is in the navel, and nothing will happen?" My mother smiled, "In the past, it was sold with flower oil and coral white aconite and pearls, but today this navel incense is sold to the villagers, and of course my father and mother have to add some ingredients." ”
"Why?"
10
The mother didn't say what revenge she wanted.
But when I saw that she gritted her teeth with hatred, I knew that this hatred was not light. The mother cried again and looked at the flower pond outside.
My sisters and I didn't dare to say anything more, and went down to the cellar in silence.
The next day, my father's brothers came again.
said that he came to my father to brag and fart, but in fact, he came to find out when the navel fragrance would be ready.
My dad was drinking a little wine, not in a hurry.
But those people were so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks.
"Brother, you have a look, now in the village except for your sister-in-law, which woman can see it, before the widow Wang used the umbilicus incense is a lot of water, but it was not our turn to enjoy it was released by the kite."
"Brother, you and your sister-in-law should hurry up and get the pills out, and drill into the sister-in-law's house lightly, you have to do a thousand things! After using your medicine, my mother-in-law will become better-looking, and I will buy it every year in the future, and let my mother-in-law give birth to four female babies like Sister Rong and their sisters, even if they are sent out to be concubines, the money to buy the fragrance in the umbilicus can be earned. ”
"That's it, I think that with this navel incense, the girls in our village will be able to become gold in the future."
They broke it apart and reasoned with my dad.
My dad is not pneumatic.
He really seems to see it.
Catching up is not a sale.
Those people were bored, and they went to the window of the house to look at my mother.
But my mother had already drawn the curtains, and they couldn't see anything.
Finally, someone mentioned it.
"Then before the widow let the people fly the kite, no one tasted it?"
"Her brother-in-law must have tasted it, if you want to talk about others, it is the patriarch, why don't you ask the patriarch what it tastes like? It's not as good as the twin daughters back then?" As he spoke.
My dad smashed a wine bottle over.
"Get out!"
The man who spoke was struck on the head with a strong knot.
Blood came out of the forehead.
The man covered his head and looked at my father hatefully.
The person next to him went to pull him, "Why didn't you keep the door open, forgetting that the eldest brother's family also has twin daughters lost?" What are you talking about here, twins, it's sad for nothing. ”
"Didn't his twin daughters make pills, what is he sorry for here?"
As he spoke, he walked away.
My father was stunned for a while, then went back to the house and picked up a bucket of water and walked to the fence to water the flowers.
My two sisters and I were dumbfounded.
My father is a fool and lazy, but since he came to this village, he often speaks badly, and he has never had such a dispute with anyone.
What's the matter today, my two sisters are alive and well, why is he anxious when he hears about the twin daughters?
I pondered the man's words.
Mu stared blankly at my two sisters.
"Sister, who are the twins they are talking about?"
11
My two sisters looked confused.
They have a better temperament than me, and they don't like to go out and walk around much.
So all the bullshit in this village is heard from my mouth.
Ask them.
It's equivalent to asking in vain.
I frowned.
Well, we can only wait.
I'll ask again.
For some reason, I always felt that these twin daughters had something to do with my parents.
It has something to do with the flower pond.
The revenge I told my mother about also has something to do with it.
I'm waiting for my dad to release it out for us again.
But the two of them suddenly got busy.
My father was carrying bags of medicinal herbs home, and my mother was busy washing and cooking to take care of the fourth sister.
Let us wind once in a while, as long as I mention the twins.
So she stuffed me in the cellar again.
A few days later, my mother was out of confinement.
On the night of the confinement, my father and mother came to the East Chamber.
Dad dried all the meat puree of the poison that he had milled a few days ago, and added a lot of powdered from medicinal herbs, musk, and a large pot of cinnabar powder.
After adding honey and stirring well, the dough will be kneaded.
Suddenly, the house was full of incense.
My dad rubbed the pill himself, because there was musk in it, and my dad wouldn't let us get it.
Our mothers sat by and watched.
The mother had a weird smile on her face.
I touched my mother's fingers and used my chin to snub the lumped medicine.
"Mother, do these people deserve to die?"
My mother nodded.
I hugged my mother's arm, "Mother, even if you don't want revenge, I think they deserve to die." ”
In their heads, they selfishly thought that these pills were made of our sisters' flesh and blood.
Before, they thought it was just ordinary medicinal herbs, so they refused to buy it.
Later, my eldest sister and second sister were gone, and my father and mother revealed to people intentionally or unintentionally that this pill was made from a girl.
Instead, they flocked to it.
In their eyes, the girl is worthless.
But what can be made from the life of a girl is genuine.
It's worth a lot of money.
That night, my dad rubbed the pill until the middle of the night, and finally finished the pill.
The next day, my father beckoned those who had paid the money to come to his house to pick up the medicine.
Almost the whole village came to see the excitement.
My father handed out pills, and my mother followed by me.
"One serving of twelve pills, one pill a month, take it off when you take a bath, and stuff it in as soon as you finish washing."
The commotion was almost loud, and the medicine was finally distributed. The courtyard suddenly became deserted.
My sisters and I stood up in the firewood room.
My mother simply got a chair and sat next to her, sewing clothes for the fourth sister while chatting with us in a low voice.
I asked my mother, "The medicine has been taken away, will no one come to the house in the future?" Why don't you let us go back to the house?"
My mother didn't agree.
"Just wait and see, someone will run to our house."
Sure enough, someone came the next day
A few men came, and together with my father, they said that as soon as the pills were plugged, there would be more water for my mother-in-law.
also said that although people don't look so good, just smelling the fragrance is like changing a mother-in-law.
As he spoke, he covered his waist, saying that he had tossed a lot of energy the night before.
And my mother's house also got into a few mothers-in-law, listening to their laughter, I knew that the left side of the conversation was also the thing in the room.
In this way, people come to my yard every day.
Later, when the mothers-in-law came out of my mother's house, and when they saw the men outside, they began to frown.
I suddenly realized.
My mother sold them the navel incense, probably not just to poison them.
Sure enough, in less than half a year, in the early winter, when the farm was just free, the patriarch caught three pairs of men and women who were together together.
There has always been an unwritten rule in this village.
When something like this happens, the woman wants to release the kite, and the man wants to cut off the thing that causes trouble.
In the late spring, the widow was released from the kite, and her brother-in-law was cut off.
Later, the whole village scolded him for being eggless, and he threw himself into the river and died in the autumn.
The archway of chastity in the mountain village has been erected for hundreds of years, and the patriarch is the most severe.
No one can run away.
So, when the first snow came, the patriarch sacrificed the corpses of three women without intestines and the eggs of three men.
That night, I saw my father digging a flower pond and throwing something into it.
If you guessed correctly.
That's intestines and eggs.
After this incident came out, my mother began to pack her baggage.
She wrapped up the valuables and put them in the cellar.
I'm guessing we're about to leave this place.
In the blink of an eye, it's almost the New Year.
Since the last time the three women were released, the people in this village have stopped a lot.
In addition, there were several heavy snowfalls, and every house was closed, and there were not many opportunities for men and women in the village to get together.
好像村里平静不少.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, my father and mother secretly released the three of us sisters out for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
In the sound of firecrackers, I asked my mother, "I haven't released a kite for a long time, when will we be able to move?" ”
My mother fed the fourth sister a few mouthfuls of egg yolks, and her face glowed under the red lantern.
"What's the hurry? You wait until spring, when the cat barks. ”
It's late spring again.
The women of the village changed into thin clothes.
The smell lingered throughout the village, and the cats barked more vigorously than usual.
Taking off their cotton clothes, the women who had used medicine had their chests bulging one by one, but their waists were much thinner.
Even the midwife, who was almost forty years old, had her chest held high.
Finally, they become the widow of the king they once hated the most.
Therefore, they came to the same end as the widow of the king.
On the day when the fourth sister learned to walk, the patriarch released eight more kites to the sound of cats.
The people of the village seem to be numb to this matter as well.
It's just a few mothers-in-law, and when they die, they will marry again.
No big deal.
The women are getting more and more smart, but their men are getting more and more depressed - no one can withstand the night and night intercourse.
13
It seemed like overnight.
The men whose mother-in-law used the incense in the umbilicus all fell on the kang.
The patriarch called Lang Zhong to take a look.
It's all a disease, excessive sex.
Lang Zhong prescribed medicine and let the forbidden room be taken care of.
But within a few days, two men in the village died.
Both were my father's brothers, and they died with sallow faces and half-open mouths.
One of them also has a scar on his forehead.
It's the one who says the twins taste good.
My dad went to see them, and when he came back, he took a shovel and dug up the whole pond.
Dad took out two jars and took our mother into the mountain at night.
There were a dozen people waiting for us in the mountains, and I recognized them as the work of my grandfather's pharmacy for many years.
I thought I would be able to go back to Li's house soon, but my father and mother were not in a hurry to leave.
Not long after, two more people came on the mountain road, pushing a man towards us.
When I got closer, I saw that the man was the patriarch.
There was a smell of commotion on the patriarch's body, and it turned out that he was already scared to pee.
Seeing the three of us standing beside my father, he first screamed in fright, and then asked my father with a panicked expression.
"Sister Rong's father, are you still alive? Is there some misunderstanding between us?"
My dad kicked him.
He threw himself on his knees in front of the two altars.
"You didn't misunderstand me, but you did have a misunderstanding with your two aunts!"
14
My grandfather's family lived in the mountains, and although they lived a poor life, all of his family members were born beautiful.
My mother is the eldest sister in the family, and there is a younger brother and two younger sisters below.
My two aunts are twins, and they are more than ten years older than my mother.
My mother regarded them as her heart, but she didn't expect my aunt to marry once, and she would say goodbye to heaven and man forever.
Back then, my two aunts were introduced by the matchmaker and married together in this backing village.
It was the widow's widow's later husband and brother-in-law who were going to marry.
As a result, when the welcoming party returned to the village, they encountered bandits, and those big men were afraid of death, so they threw a sedan and ran away, and the thieves robbed my two aunts to the mountain.
The aunt said that the thief probably didn't want to cause too much trouble, so she let the two of them go.
They found the village themselves, but the villagers insisted that they had been insulted by the bandits.
The villagers could have asked for a medical check-up, but they didn't.
Those men had never seen the twins, and they coveted the beauty of the twins, so they discussed them with the husbands and patriarchs of the aunts for a long time.
In the end, the men who each paid a few dozen wen to pay the bride price to the aunts, and took turns to defile the aunts in the ancestral hall.
Subsequently, the patriarch personally released the kite of his aunt.
The women of the village were jealous of my aunt's beauty, and the widow was still a woman who had not yet left the court, and she secretly admired the person my aunt was going to marry, and took the lead in taking up the stone and leading the others to smash their bodies to pieces.
Three days later, the two aunts did not return to the door, and my grandfather and uncle were not at ease, so they searched all the way, only to find that my two aunts had already been badly kicked and kicked.
The bones of my aunt were thrown under the archway, but the sins of those people have been wandering in the world.
The people in the village insisted that the aunt was a member of the village when she married in, and that this is the way to die when the villagers lost their virginity.
My grandfather endured heartache and brought the tattered bones home, but the patriarch blackmailed him a sum of money before releasing the body. After returning home, my maternal grandfather and grandmother fell ill and died not long after.
And that year, I was eleven years old.
Although I gave birth to three girls, my father and mother are still affectionate, and my mother is very filial to her in-laws, so my grandfather's family did not have any complaints about my mother.
Originally, my mother was thinking about having another child, but my uncle came to my mother and said that my two aunts and my maternal grandfather and grandmother had died.
My mother's heart hurt so much that she couldn't afford to get sick.
My father's family was distressed.
Later, my grandfather found my father and mother and gave them two prescriptions.
One is a real navel incense.
It was for prostitutes in Qinglou, there was musk in it, and it could be used to be delicate and contraceptive.
On the other hand, it smells the same incense, but it will be lustful to the bones, and the woman who uses the incense and the man who has sex will die within a year.
After saying goodbye to my grandfather, my mother placed my uncle in his grandfather's house and brought the bones of my three sisters and my aunt to the village.
They buried their aunt's bones in a flower pond.
The pool is facing the archway.
My mom and dad want my aunts to see for themselves how those animals died!
When I first arrived, my mother didn't know who had killed my aunts.
So my dad started making friends, drinking and eating meat every day, bragging and fart.
After three rounds of drinking, those people didn't keep the door in their mouths.
It didn't take long for my dad to find out who had bullied my aunt.
15
The patriarch finally understood that my family had come to ask for their lives. He kowtowed like garlic, saying that he had not defiled my two aunts.
My mother rushed up and slapped him twice.
"As the patriarch, you can obviously find the midwife to check whether my two sisters are innocent, but you refuse to do that, you just see the money and don't let go of the woman's life, if you don't help the abuse, who would dare to bully my two sisters!
"Your village is called a backer village, but whose backer is it? You're well-dressed, but you're just like that building, and every place is full of absurdity!"
No one heard the patriarch anymore.
The men stripped the patriarch of his pants, cut off his eggs, and ripped out his intestines with scissors.
Then, hanging the intestines on the branches, he pushed the patriarch down the cliff.
He flew countless kites, and this time he finally made a kite himself.
A strong smell of blood came, accompanied by a foul stench. The wild dogs and wolves on the mountain smelled the smell, and their sobs gradually approached.
My father and my brothers escorted us down the hill from another place and into the carriage.
I drifted away from the archway in the village. Until I couldn't see it anymore, I asked my mother.
"Mother, there are still many people alive, haven't we finished avenging?"
My mother held me in her arms.
"The old patriarch is gone, naturally there is a new patriarch who has been promoted, and those who use drugs have become promiscuous, and they are inevitably the end of being released from the kite... … Besides, even if it can be held back, the effect of the medicine will be a year in the near future. It took a year, and no one could live. ”
My mother used to be a gentle woman.
She taught her husband and daughter to honor her in-laws, and she didn't even dare to kill a chicken. It's a pity that this world does not allow my mother to be a virtuous woman.
Because ah, the world eats people.
