Liuying

Chapter 1     Yimu

The wall between the men's and women's bathrooms is insurmountable. Although it is dirty and splashes with unbearable shit and urine, and some people have written riddles about the genitals, it is a wall of morality and a wall of law.

The world is bright and the butterflies and flies fly over the wall. Yimu is not a butterfly, nor is it a fly, but he has to go in and out of the women's bathroom every day. This is a kind of sadness, Yimu is a man.

Yimu Tao dung. He bent over and his dirty hair was so wet that it was so wet that he was panting like a cow and sweating all over. No woman was willing to marry him, because the reason was very simple - he was a mute.

Yimu is a mute, so it is reasonable for him to wash up feces. The toilet is where Yimu works. Every midnight, he sets off on time, pulling a manure truck around the streets like a ghost. The urine and defecation in the public toilets in Jiaxiang County, Shandong Province are waiting for him.

Yimu is ugly and can scare the most beautiful woman to death.

He dared not come out during the day because someone would definitely spit on him, and if he was angry, he would be beaten.

Yimu lowered his head and pulled the feces cart step by step. His eyes were protruding, and a hint of panic flashed from time to time. His frown brows had not been stretched since birth, which made the whole face smile bitterly. The teeth were two rows of sparse and twisted "dood bean balls". The ears covered by the messy hair were like caves, and there were wild animals living inside. Inferiority made Yimu get used to bowing his head, so he hunched his back again.

Sometimes he also looked at the sky, and there was no shadow of birds in the sky.

Yimu has been a sanitation worker for more than 20 years. He tied his life to this ugly and dirty septic tank, and a group of maggots rolling under his feet. The work clothes Yimu wore were the color of shit, and his chest was breathing foul smell. When his hands reached out to the toilet paper and sanitary napkins that blocked the drain, silence gave this action a solemn color, and many flies danced around him.

This county town needs to resume the hustle and bustle in the early morning, and Yimu needs to fill the manure truck before dawn.

Once, in a public toilet, it was dawn. Yimu saw a woman suffering from diarrhea. When the woman saw Yimu, she screamed. Yimu put the shit into a dung bucket and poured it into the dung truck outside the door. He went in and out, ignoring the bare-ass woman.

If a torch illuminates the dead end in his body at this time, he would see a heart bound by rusty chains at the end, imprisoned in his chest, beating unfreely day and night, the more it beats, the tighter it becomes.

Yimu was sent to the police station for being a hooligan. After being detained for 15 days, he lost his job in scavenging. In the detention center, a kind prisoner said to him - go to Liuying!

Chapter 2: The blind

Xia Ni was born in a sorghum field in Yimeng Mountain. Xia Ni's mother fainted from pain by tearing her umbilical cord and never woke up again. The next day, a passerby heard Xia Ni's faint crying. Xia Ni and her mother's body were transported home by a flatbed truck pulled by a donkey.

Xia Ni's father is a irritable alcoholic. Xia Ni's brother fed a female goat. The milk of the goat prevented Xia Ni from dying. The first object she knew in her life was **. From then on, Xia Ni had a vague concept of circle. Later, the brother told her that the moon was round and the sun was also round. This woman who had been blind since birth began to feel confused about the world.

Xia Ni's world is very small, just a yard. She has been used to chopping firewood, feeding sheep, washing clothes, and burning the kang since she was a child. She slept in the hot soil in front of the kang, and she knew it all year round.

The red flowers and green grass are both black in the eyes of Xia Ni.

All colors are destined in the dark, but all colors change when Jade Ni was born. It is colorful and colorful, leaving only black, boundless. Jade Ni stretched out her hands to the darkness, carefully walking on thin ice, there is a chair here and a table there, she needs to avoid and remember their positions, and she hopes that they will never move and will not change.

Xia Ni had broken many bowls and thermos, and her father was furious at this time and beat her up and scolded her, not giving her food.

Sometimes, Xiao Ni curses her father to die soon.

Sure enough, on the day my brother got married, my father died of drunkenness under a birch tree outside the door. My sister-in-law was very fierce. After passing the door, she gave Xia Ni a handful of straw and let her live in the sheep pen. Xia Ni quickly got used to the smell of sheep, used to the cold and stuffy heat. However, my sister-in-law hated her more and more, and often beat her for no reason, and her brother ignored her. When she thought of death, she had drunk pesticides more than once. She knew the smell of DDT, Leguo, and herbicide.

Once, my brother poured laundry powder into her stomach and made her vomit. Xiang Gu asked Xia Ni, why Xiao Xia Ni couldn't think too much? Xia Ni covered her stomach and rolled over and said, "There are no food, no living, and no clothes."

Xiang Gu said to her sister-in-law, please find a man to live for this little man!

The sister-in-law asked the matchmaker to arrange a profile for Xia Ni. The matchmaker's footsteps made Xia Ni nervous and happy. She squatted outside the window and heard the matchmaker say that there were all over the villages, and an old bachelor said that he would come for a blind date tomorrow. That night, Xia Ni had insomnia and tossed and turned on the straw mat in the sheep pen.

The next day, the old bachelor came. Xia Ni stood under a stinky toon tree in the yard, lowered her head and twisted the corner of her clothes with her hands. Her breasts were shriveled, her buttocks were flat, her braids were brown, and her neck was very dirty. At that moment, she was shy and the most beautiful in the world. However, when the old bachelor saw Xia Ni, she started yelling. She clearly said that she was a little widow, but why was she a blind man? The matchmaker quickly persuaded, since she came, she would go over and talk. She was only 18 years old, and she was a yellow girl at all. The old bachelor waved her hands repeatedly and said, "I didn't beat it, but she turned around and left." Her sister-in-law chased her out of the door and took off one of her shoes and smashed it fiercely at the old bachelor, cursing, "Old Turtle Sun," she didn't look at your bear. Xia Ni giggled, covered her face and cried again.

Three sacrifices to the kitchen, four sweeps the house, five steamed buns, six killing pigs, seven going to the market, eight passing oil, nine making dumplings, ten kowtows, meteors cross the sky, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon.

On the day of making dumplings on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the matchmaker brought another person. The shaman later learned that he was a human trafficker. The shaman circled around the shaman twice, pinched the shaman on the shoulder, and patted the back. He said to his sister-in-law that he had a baby and could not tell whether he could have a baby. The shaman said that he could have a baby, and he could definitely have a baby. The shaman asked the shaman if he had had a period? The shaman was confused. The shaman had no choice but to spread his hands. The shaman twisted the shaman hard, and she took out 50 yuan and told the shaman that if this waste can be sold, you can help throw it away. The brother was chopping hay. He sighed and said, "My sister, pitiful, please find a good buyer!"

I felt very fresh when I took the train. Her feet didn't move, but she had left home.

She asked where to go?

Human traffickers said that Shanxi is poor and there are many people who buy wives.

After passing by Jiaxiang, Shandong, and parking for 5 minutes, the trafficker said he would get off the car and buy a few buns.

Xiao Ni said I will follow you.

After getting off the car, the traffickers muttered while walking, "If I want to play, I will run away now. Can you catch up?" In fact, the buyer had already contacted him. There were several, there were a lunatic, a crooked neck, and a labor reform criminal - which one would you choose?

Xia Ni bit her lips and didn't say anything, tightly holding the corner of the human trafficker's clothes.

30 buns.

The human trafficker took out the 50 yuan given by Sister Xiao Ni and handed it to a vendor on the platform.

The vendor glared at the money and said, "You change one for me, this one won't work."

The trafficker said what's wrong?

The vendor said it was fake.

The traffickers and the vendors had an argument and finally fought. The vendor picked up a fire shovel and broke the trafficker's head. The trafficker cursed grandma and bear, and threw a pot of boiling water on the vendor's face. The vendor shouted like a pig and fell to the ground.

The human trafficker was taken to the police station.

The silly Ni was crowded in the crowd, as if the matter had nothing to do with her. A woman said that this guy would be sentenced and could not get out for less than three or five years. She was guilty of intentional injury. It was a big New Year, so it was so hot that people were burned.

The crowd dispersed and the train had already left. Xia Ni felt panic when she held the telephone pole. After a while, she squatted on the ground, covering her face and cried, and the cold wind blew her braids.

She cried not because she was fragile, but because she didn't know where to go.

It was snowing, and Xia Ni sat on a few snowflakes. Xia Ni opened her eyes wide, she could not see the white world. She hugged her knees and shivered all over. She didn't know whether to stand there waiting or where to go, but she felt extremely desperate. It was a big night, only snow could be eaten by her, and only the northwest wind could be drunk. When the midnight bell and the sound of firecrackers came, Xia Ni raised her face and fought with teeth, and she said to herself: "Ah... it's the New Year!"

The next day, an old man who was sweeping the snow found the cold Ni who was about to freeze. He kicked the cold Ni's feet and said, "Girl, go to Liuying!"

Chapter 3 Land

A long time ago, farmers in Jiaxiang County, Shandong Province had a wish to plant wheat on the land. They sowed the seeds again and again, and were disappointed again and again. The wheat was like wild grass. It would wither and yellow before it could grow. The wasteland was still wasteland, and the things planted had no harvest. The severe alkalization of the soil made the farmers in this county live in poverty for hundreds of years.

After the founding of New China, the county party committee successively adopted measures such as "deep cultivation of land, shallow cultivation of farmers" and "contribute a bucket of manure" to improve the soil quality. However, drought and flood were ruthless, and the four pests were rampant, the sun came out and the ground was still covered with white flowers.

People were desperate, and even the county magistrate was desperate.

In 1972, Zhou Juzhi was appointed as the magistrate of Jiaxiang. After he took office, he vigorously planted fruit trees. Apples, pears, peaches, hawthorns, apricots, and walnuts were mainly planted with apples. By 1978, Jiaxiang County had a thousand acres of orchards.

Apple flowers bloomed and faded. By 1980, Jiaxiang County became one of the 23 fruit bases in the country.

In front of the department store, there was a mutton soup restaurant on the side of a quiet tree-shaded road. The wall with garbage was filled with flies, flies were flying, and the street lights in the alley decorated the night of the county town. In the early morning, motorized tricycles drove to the fruit wholesale market. The rapidly developing business led various side businesses, and some transportation fleets, canning factories, and willow weaving factories appeared. The two largest willow weaving factories in the county town are the disabled willow weaving factory in Nanguan and the disabled willow weaving factory in Liuying.

Chapter 4 Liuying

Liuying is eight miles away from the county town, and is a small village. There is a large courtyard near the highway. This courtyard is very lonely and seems to be isolated from the world. However, for some disabled people living in dark corners, this is a paradise!

If it didn't rain, eight blind men would sit on the stools and weaving baskets. The fastest one was Yan Ni. She was skillful in movement, as if she was playing with her fingers. Yimu and three mutes were on the trees on the river bank in front of the village, holding machetes in their hands. They cut off the willow branches and carried them back like mules. The other three mutes stayed in the yard to prune the leaves and do some miscellaneous work. Four cripples and two paralyzed men were to soak the pruned willow branches and smoke them. There were also a dwarf who kept adding water and firewood, and he was also responsible for cooking.

There are two rows of houses in the courtyard. One row is a bungalow and the other is a tile house.

If it rains, the yard will be empty. The bungalow close to the iron gate faces north and the window faces south. The door is pieced together by broken wooden boards, and an iron hook is locked. There is a rocking chair in the room, and newspapers from the "Cultural Revolution" period are also pasted on the wall against the bed. The two broken sofas are exposed with cotton wool, and a greasy coffee table is placed in front of the sofa.

Outside the window, the desolate ground was wet by the rain, and the field mice hid under the dandelion leaves to shelter from the rain, and a tractor drove by on the road.

Several other bungalows were filled with miscellaneous items. Xia Ni lived alone in one of them. At that time, she was the only woman in the willow weaving factory. Spiders drooped from the roof and hung to her spinning wheel. Xia Ni knew everything, and others gave her cotton, soles were spinning. In addition to work, she would put on shoes in her spare time. In addition to the two paralyzed men without feet, the workers of the willow weaving factory, including the boss Liu Qing, were wearing cloth shoes made by Xia Ni.

The angle formed by the bungalow and the courtyard wall is the toilet. Several bricks are piled up and several fulcrums are thrown everywhere. Opposite the bungalow are four large tiled houses, three are warehouses, piled up with baskets, mice squeaking inside, and nests are born. The remaining one is a dormitory, with doors and windows decayed, rain sounds, the air in the room is damp and depressed, the ground is stained with phlegm, and more than a dozen iron beds with upper and lower bunks are placed against the wall, and the coarse quilt emits a stinking smell like rotten corpses. A mute in patched pants stands in the middle of the house and sings. He hums with his nose until he finishes singing, and a blind man in a felt hat pulls his erhu to accompany him. A dwarf sits on three

He held his big head on the small stool with his legs in thought. His avatar looked like a winter melon, and others called him a winter melon, while the blind Ni called him a big head. Several blind men sat at the table listening to the radio, and two mutes gestured to talk. One said that the rain might fall until noon tomorrow, and the other said that it would be better to fall until evening. A cripple man and a paralyzed man sat cross-legged in the lower bunk drinking and eating meat. The cripple man called Xiaola, and he was a Huimin. The paralyzed man called home, so he found a wooden board and put four wheels on it. He sat on it and paddled with his hands, as if there was a sea around him. When he arrived at Liuying, he couldn't even move. Liu Qing gave him two steamed buns. After eating, he choked and glared. After a long time, he burped a loud burp.

The rest were sleeping, and Yimu snored like thunder.

Chapter 5 Liu Qing

There are two trees in front of the door, one is a willow tree and the other is an elm tree.

One day, Liu Qing came out of the door and cut down the elm tree, made it into a rocking chair, and made his body shake under the window. He seemed very tired and often looked out the window and pondered. Later, it became dark and he saw nothing.

The willow tree is blown by the wind, and it is a masterpiece of eternal song!

In 1980, a blind fortune teller passed by here. He patted the trunk of the tree and asked Liu Qing, is this a willow tree?

Liu Qing said, OK.

Is it not a tree that is two feet tall?

Liu Qing said, well, it's almost the same.

Then there is a puddle in the south?

Liu Qing said, there is a pond.

The blind man asked again, is there a monument under the base of the earth wall in the southwest?

Liu Qing said yes, and it said, "Dare to be the stone of Mount Tai."

The blind man nodded and murmured to himself, just like what I dreamed of.

This tree is planted by Liuqing.

There was a broken mailbox hanging on the tree, and no letters came. Over time, it became a nest of birds.

Liu Qing's parents died early, and they died of eating Guanyin soil during three years of difficult times. At that time, Liu Qing was still a child. He broke a willow branch, ate all the leaves, inserted the branches into the road trench in front of the door, sprinkled and sucked, and then fled to the famine to beg for food. After he left, the willow branch actually took root and sprouted and grew into a towering tree.

Liu Qing had been wandering outside for many years, and he brought back a Sichuan woman. The woman's hair was thick and dirty, and it smelled scented. She could weave baskets, and she died after giving birth to a girl.

Liu Qing named his daughter Liu Ye.

Liu Qing was hungry and suffered, which made him strong, able to endure, and even when he encountered difficulties, he raised his chest even if he lowered his head. He was scheming and frowned when he smiled. Liu Qing had a sharp look. Since his handicraft workshop took in the first fortune-telling blind man who was about to starve to death, he saw that some people at the bottom of society were shining. Those people were waste in the eyes of others, and they were also the cheapest labor force in the world. If you give them a bite of food, they would work hard, which made Liu Qing the earliest ten thousand household in this county, and had the halo of savior in the hearts of disabled people.

This initial handicraft workshop developed into a large enterprise in southwestern Shandong decades later.

All workers are disabled!
