Why are you alive?

When Yuan Wanran was fifteen years old, she often asked this question

The sky is high and the clouds are light. The wheat fields have just been harvested. Short wheat stubbles are poking on the ground in rows. The ears of wheat that the farmers have leaked when they harvest are scattered. The golden golden places will spread everywhere along the land. Wherever it goes, there will be birds and birds lying around, and women and children leaning over to pick up the ears.

Yuan Wanran walked in the field, picking up wheat ears among clusters of wheat stubble

One, two, three...

It didn't take long before she held the wheat ears in her hand and stuffed them into the sack tied to her belly.

When the sack was bloated, her honey-colored hands were often shuttled among the wheat stubble, and no matter how careful she was, she would inevitably poke many wounds.

Alas, the original girl is so quick-witted. Someone sighed next to her

Yuan Wanran looked in the sound and a pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the village stood beside her. The mother-in-law pointed to the bulging sack in front of her belly, glanced at her daughter-in-law and the half-full basket she carried, and said: "The original girl went to the ground with you at the same time, so she picked up so many people. How many years younger than you."

The wife forced herself to smile and refused to answer. Yuan Wanran wiped off her sweat beads and said with a smile: I'm lucky, there are a lot of wheat ears here.

The woman said: Not only can the girl be capable, but she is also polite, that boy Cai Chong is blessed.

Yuan Wanran's smile disappeared and she hurriedly said: He has nothing to do with me

The woman laughed and said: Are you embarrassed?

No, I am me, he is him

Come on, no one in the village has ever heard your sister-in-law say that you and Cai Chong are in a relationship and want to match you together? People are your legitimate relative's sister-in-law, and they will never talk nonsense and ruin your sister-in-law's reputation

Yuan Wanran's head was shaking like a wave drum, and I really had nothing to do with him.

The woman shook her head, Oh, since you are afraid of others' words, you should abide by the rules. What's the use of pretending to be clear to me?

Yuan Wanran was burning her face and was about to defend herself. The woman turned her head and left. She couldn't catch up with her and grabbed the elders' theory.

Just as she was feeling wronged, her eyes turned, and a girl of her age was staring at her in the distance, and she didn't know how long she had been looking at her.

Chun'er, she squeezed out her smile and called out softly, Chun'er turned around and walked away quickly

Yuan Wanran's smile froze on her face. At this moment, several children ran over the ridge of the field with baskets. Seeing the sack in front of her belly bulging, a child, a half-year-old, laughed and said: Look, the girl in the Yuan family is big, and the insect named Cai is getting bigger.

Yuan Wanran's ears of wheat were shaking, I didn't have it, she heard her voice change

The children ran away with a gust of wind and ignored them. She made a sound defense and instead attracted the attention of others in the field. She whispered, and someone really looked at her belly.

As if something was pressing her chest, she stood in the field but couldn't breathe, so she walked to the dirt road and sold the harvest to the dealer who bought fragmented wheat ears, and walked home.

Walking on the road close to home, she was surrounded by trees and saw no trace of others, and then walked around the grass beside the road and walked under a tree

The green grass is separated by the tree, but there is a thin piece of grass piled up in the corner at the other end of the road, and the undulating bare soil is exposed under the grass

She pulled away the grass, picked up a nearby flat-pointed stone and dug it down. Not long after, a small upside-down shattered pot appeared on the ground and pulled out the pot. A ball of white rag lying at the bottom of the hole.

She leaned into the rag and pinched it. The veil was really hitting the skin. She smiled comfortably, and the invisible thousand-pound pressure on her chest was a little lighter.

There is nine coins hidden in the cloth bag

She took out one of the copper pills obtained from selling wheat ears, put it in a cloth bun, pulled it back into the clay pot, covered the soil and piled up the grass to restore the ground to its original state, and then clapped her hands and left

At the last corner before she arrived at home, she slowed down for the second time, hid behind the tree on the roadside and looked at her home.

In front of the Yuan family house, Yuan Zhiyong and another villager moved a stool and sat down, shaking his legs and crossing his legs to eat melon seeds, and there was a piece of melon seed shell on the ground.

Yuan Wanran had some blood circulation all over her body. Cai Chong was not at her house, otherwise she would have sat at the door and shared the melon seeds.

In the Yuan family, the villagers got up and wanted to leave. Yuan Zhiyong kept him and shouted to the room: Madam, are you okay?

It's almost time for Cai's family to answer

Yuan Zhiyong said to the villagers: My wife is dignified and unwilling to go out easily without dressing up.

The villager waved his hand and smiled: It's okay, I'll go to the dog fighting field to wait for you first

Just as he was about to leave, Yuan Wanran walked towards him, wearing a blue rustic cloth dress that turned white. Compared with Yuan Zhiyong's body, the villager showed a sense of thinking.

Seeing this, Yuan Zhiyong smiled at Yuan Wanran and said: You are asked to stay at home, not to work in the fields, but you are reluctant to wear new clothes. You are always wearing old clothes and shoes. Those who don’t know will treat you seriously.

The villagers laughed and said: Where can I do it? Everyone knows that your original girl is born to be diligent and frugal.

Yuan Zhiyong smiled and said: My parents left early, and it was up to us couple to pull this girl out of adulthood. Fortunately, her hard work was not in vain. She knew that she would have a lifetime of kindness and tried every means to supplement her family.

The villager talked a few words of goodbye, and as soon as the figure disappeared from the corner, Yuan Zhiyong pulled down his face and reached out to Yuan Wanran

Yuan Wanran took out the copper pendant and handed it over. Yuan Zhiyong curled his lips and said: I asked you to pick the ears of wheat. I went there for more than half a day to earn this little money? If I were to pick it up, the amount would be doubled.

Turning his head and urging Cai to the house, hurry up, I have to bet with him before I can place a bet

There are so many bets that can be taken out? Cai swayed and walked out of the house, smiling and stroking Shixin style that was easy to combed

Which dog fight is not fierce? Well, it may not be. Yesterday, Liu Si brought a black dog, looking gentle, still mother, and even faced the General Changsheng. I guess it will die, so I bet General Changsheng, but I hope it will kill him.

Then let's bet it

It got out of the field while Liu Si was not careful and escaped, otherwise it would wait until it recovered and then come back. I will bet it.

Before Cai could answer the conversation, he said to Yuan Wanran: I won't come back soon, we are impatient and leave first.

Amitabha, you're leaving well, Yuan Wanran thought to herself

Cai said: Don’t cook tonight, we’ll eat outside, you can sweep the leftover floor at home

Yuan Wanran didn't say anything, took the broom and swept the floor. Cai said twitchingly: Cheng Ri has no smile on her face. It's really a touch of the head. If Ah Chong didn't like it, I wouldn't agree to your marriage.

Yuan Wanran stopped her hand fiddling with the broom and looked at Cai's family.

Cai said: In a few months, you will get married after being mourned by your mother. You will be free tone, as if you are saying how spicy she wants to eat in one dish.

Yuan Zhiyong stamped his feet and said: Let’s talk about the sesame thing again. He took Cai’s hand and hurriedly left.

Yuan Wanran stood there, grabbed the broom with her hands, her finger joints turned white, and cold sweat flowed.

Bang, suddenly she threw down her broom and staggered into the bamboo forest behind her home

The bamboo forest is deep, and the towering forest tips cover a darkness. Few people come to her, treat her like a nest, and hide there when she feels uncomfortable, so she can cry with peace of mind.

But this time, she had already walked to the deepest and most secret corner, trying to cry and vent, but she couldn't exert her strength to cry

The fear and depression pressed on her chest turned into severe pain, swelling upwards one by one, stuck in her throat, and the last trace of vitality she had left was blocked.

Inadvertently, she caught a cluster of bamboos in front of her, raised her fist and knocked on one of the tubes. Bangbang, blood and flesh hit the hard bamboo tubes. Not long after, the palm of her hand was red and swollen, and it hurt so much, but her heart was inexplicably healed, and her head became clearer.

Don't panic, there are still a few months left to find a way...

Yuan Wanran told herself that she was holding the bamboo and trying to calm down. A slight sound came from the other end of the back of the bamboo bush, as if something was dragging and rubbing on the ground, and gasping for breath.

Her scalp was numb, could it be that Cai Chong came? That guy had appeared in the bamboo forest once

Soon she shook her head and her sister-in-law said Cai Chong had gone back, and no one knew this corner except her...

She stepped back gently, and looked around the side of the bamboo bushes after a few steps.

At that time, a black shadow roared from behind the bamboo bushes and rushed up and rushed towards the ground.

The sky was dark, Yuan Wanran saw the black shadow pounced on her with a long mouth, her lips raised, revealing her mouth with a jagged fangs that were shiny and white.
