Although the rain was getting lighter, the wind suddenly blew heavily. The awning paid under the plaque of Yibiantang was rustling by the wind. They were reluctant to collect the awnings to facilitate people on the rainy night. However, the night was getting deeper and fewer people needed to temporarily shelter from the rain. Seeing that the people in the shed left one after another after the rain became lighter, they still did not see the couple who should have passed by long ago.

An old couple who never walked on the night road had to wait until dawn before leaving, but on a dark and rainy night, they have not returned home yet. This seems like a small matter and an unusual thing.

"It must be something unexpected, right?" Xia Huniao looked outside the door. There was no one under the cannon.

The dog chewed the chicken legs so hard that his mouth was filled with oil, and his mouth was stuffed with pieces of meat. He said vaguely: "That old man, who was going out to buy a stack of straw paper, had to lead his stupid wife with him. He was very careful, so there would be no accidents."

Yes, that old couple is quite special. The husband is fifty years old this year, but he looks like he is over 60 years old. He is an orphan, and has suffered a lot since childhood. His back seems to never be straight. He is not born with a hunchback, but it is obviously caused by the hunchback caused by frequent carrying heavy objects on his back. He is not strong and thin. I wonder if he has been smoking Tuyan for most of his life, and he has to cough a few times from time to time. Even after he has a fool's wife, he still coughs constantly.

He is an honest and honest man, how honest he is. When the crowd is crowded, he will apologize to others whether he intentionally or not. He is not used to listening to others thanking him, nor is he used to listening to others apologizing to him. He always smiles with his cheeks, and his cheeks are red all year round because of the wind and sun, which adds a lot of joy to his smile, as if he is celebrating the New Year every day. Whether behind the scenes or in front of him, everyone thinks he is a fool, and he always smiles with a happier smile.

He had a stupid wife who looked about the same age as him, a real fool, but she was not crazy and stupid all day long. She occasionally looked no different from normal people, if she didn't look at her straightforward eyes.

Her eyes were different only when she looked at her stupid husband, but she rarely saw her eyes leaving her stupid husband.

Hanzi's husband is a native native. He has been diligent and simple and down-to-earth throughout his life, and has no gossip to listen to. However, his foolish wife is a pastime for many people after dinner.

There are many sayings about his foolish wife. Some say that it is also a local person, like her husband, and she was an orphan since childhood. She said that she was originally a normal brain, but unfortunately she became crazy after being bullied a lot. Others said that she had wandered around elsewhere and was born crazy. When she first saw her, she sat naked on the big stone at the entrance of the town to comb her hair. She had just rained at that time, and there was a puddle in front of the big stone. She held the water in the puddle wet her hair and combed her messy hair meticulously and smoothly, and her bit of broken hair was rubbed into obedience.

She sat on the big stone, and occasionally smiled at everyone passing by. But she was not beautiful at all, which was very ordinary. How ordinary is she? Even if you see her many faces every day, you will definitely not remember her appearance. If you ask her what she looks like, I am afraid no one can describe it. But as long as you see her, you can recognize her immediately with just a glance, and it is her. Accompanied by the words "Hey, look, that foolish wife who is holding her again is here to the market!" Many people have said similar words.

I heard that she had been sitting on that big rock at that time, sometimes she was singing the show seriously, sometimes she smiled foolishly for no reason, sometimes she spitted at passers-by for no reason, sometimes she was crazy and terrifyingly grabbed passers-by to fight... All day long, some were rushing to watch the fun, some were afraid to avoid it, and some were peeing at her frivolously, or touching her exposed skin while she was not crazy. If she saw that she was stupid and not crazy, they would not resist,

The behavior becomes even more promising. However, it is mostly frivolous, whipping, bullying. The place is not big, and everyone comes and goes, often familiar with their faces. No one wants to put aside their face and make more excessive actions towards her as a fool in public. In addition, there are also many children who are very worried about throwing stones at her, making her head bloody. Many people say that when she is not crazy, they just laugh foolishly. When she goes crazy, they never heard of her hitting a child from any family.

So, her hair, which was combed with mud and shiny, was dried by the sun, and became scattered again. She always pulled with people, making her covered in bruises and scars. She was covered in chaotic stench, covered in mottled blood, and covered in fishy mud. She sat madly on the big stone cursing every passerby. Later, someone cut her tongue. I heard that she didn't look crazy at that time, or maybe it was a coincidence that she had been trampled on her tongue when she was cut off. She immediately stuffed the dirt into her mouth with big mouth, stopping the blood.

Later on, until Hanzi, who had been busy with farm work for a day, found her when she passed by, so she picked her up and became a wife.

The big stone she sat on that day was at the gate of the town, not far from the right slope of Yibiantang. So after hearing people's chats, every time Lin Suqing saw the big stone, every time he saw the narrow road outside the town, he seemed to see the fool's wife sitting on the big stone that day, as if he saw the fool's wife taking off her coat that had been repaired countless times and putting it on the fool's wife, holding her slowly walking home.

In the past, Yibiantang was founded and heard from all sides. Later, they actually saw it with their own eyes, but they actually knew not much. They knew that the couple's homes and fields were at the east and west ends of the town. Whenever it was dawn, they could see the stupid husband leading his foolish wife passing by Yibiantang, passing by the entrance of the town, passing by the big stone, and going to the fields to collect farm work.

The two of them are at least over 100 years old and still hold hands anytime and anywhere. However, even if they hold hands, they still hold a rope less than half a foot wide by finger at their waists. The silly husband said that he was afraid that she would suddenly get sick or be stimulated, and it was difficult to find if she ran away, or that she would hurt someone, or that she would hurt her.

Their family is much poorer than ordinary people. They eat all their food and eat whatever they grow. They also sell their own food, hand-woven backpacks, small wooden benches and other handmade things to change to some clothing.

He was very strict with his food and clothing. When the harvest was not good, he would take a bite of a piece of cake by himself, giving his stupid wife the most. He only had three or two pieces of clothing over the years, and patches were sewn all over his body, and the patches were stacked with patches. He could no longer tell the original color of the clothes. However, his stupid wife often had new clothes. In addition to new clothes, people in the town often had hairpins, powders, earrings, and other items that were popular in the town during the season, but sometimes they could see them on the head of the stupid wife. Although she was very cheap, everything she wore was especially suitable for her. Occasionally, it made people think that she was actually a normal person.

In addition to these, the deepest impression that the couple left on Lin Suqing was that the husband of Hanzi often gave gifts to shops in the town that opened their doors to make a living at any time. The gifts were not necessarily expensive, but mostly the newly harvested crops and grains. For example, the food that Yidian ate was the rice sent by Hanzi and his wife.

Hanzi's husband did this to help with some connections, not for extraneousness. He asked: "If I die one day, please be kind-hearted adults, beg me to be good, let me be pitiful, if she has no food to eat, you can give her the leftovers. If she forgot to go home, please beg the adults to scold her and tell her to go home. If she doesn't wear clothes, the adults will spend a few words of spitting on her and ask her to go home. She loves to dress up and she can understand." It's probably what these are the meanings.

After a while, everyone became familiar with each other, and some people always advised him to have a child, but he just smiled and went out of his left ear with his right ear. So they had no children and had no children, and they depended on each other for life. But there were always troublesome people who started to make fun of him, such as when they were in the market or when they passed by the town, there were always people who mocked him.

"Yo, have you brought your hen that doesn't lay eggs to buy things?"

"Is that crazy man not letting you touch her?"

"Are you stupid or she stupid? She is an ignorant person. Can you push her away if you do something with a tyrant?"

"She won't give birth to you, so what's the point of doing that you are good to her? Eat your family's food for nothing!"

"The life is getting poorer and poorer, why bother yourself?"

Or deliberately provoking trouble

"That crazy woman doesn't recognize you as her husband at all. If you don't believe that if you loosen the rope, she will definitely run away."

"I'm afraid that if I loosen the rope, she turned her head and got involved with the beast. Hahahahahaha~ I'll hate you after seeing the world for too many times!"

"Why don't you talk about crazy women, stupid crazy men!"

Sometimes the foolish husband is carrying firewood on his back or holding things in his arms, and he will not be able to free his hand to hold his stupid wife. Some troublemakers will wait for an opportunity to cut the rope between them. But every time they are cut, the foolish wife will grab the hair of Hanzi husband, hold it tightly and never let go, or sit on the spot, holding his legs and feet, and will not continue walking, unless he tied the rope back.

The silly husband always smiled and never responded to mockery, scolding, and provocation. If he had been a good friend and enthusiastic, he would have a bright smile on his face and smiled foolishly: "She has me in her heart." He smiled foolishly and was happy for himself. When the stupid wife he picked up saw that he was smiling happily, she laughed foolishly with him, although she didn't understand anything.

"You have to wait for them today?"

My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Xia Huniao, and Lin Suqing took a sip of the wild hawthorn wine sent by the idiot husband a few days ago with his stupid wife. He savored the thin sweetness and a faint sourness between his lips and teeth, and said in a deep voice: "I have been cared for by the couple for so many years, and I have to do anything."

"you mean……"

Huh! A strong wind whistled past, rushing the drizzle into the room, wet the door. Half and half hurriedly left the table, walked out of the door and looked carefully at the canopy above, and then hurriedly ran to the bamboo poles fixed to both sides of the Yi Branch Hall to support the canopy. They shook each one, strengthening the rope when the bamboo poles were shaking.

"Maybe they have gone home." Lin Suqing's thumb stroked the edge of the small wine glass. The bright red wine in the glass was clear and reflected a little Lin Suqing's eyebrows and eyes, as if he was watching the wine, and the wine was also watching him.

"It is possible that it will be dark at noon, and no one knows that it will rain. That stupid man is so careful that he will definitely not let his wife get wet in the rain."

The dog raised his eyes casually outside the door and said, "Anyway, we'll have to rest late, so wait a little longer. If you really can't rest, I'll send a bird to his field to take a look."

"It's already sent, they are not in the field." Lin Suqing said sadly, "not in the straw hut by the edge of the field."

Xia Huniao's heart trembled, but she still said auspicious words: "Whose house may shelter from the rain?"

"Where is their family?" asked the dog.

"No one knows where their family lives." Lin Suqing put down his wine glass and frowned, "It is probably to prevent him from bullying his wife after his death, and he has never told anyone."

"Well... that stupid man is always afraid that he will die in front of his wife. Um... But this is not easy to deal with. I can't arrest the Tudigong to come out for a question." The dog put down the chicken wings that were gnawing, frowned with Douzi and said distressedly, "Hey, let alone the Tudigong, there is no small envoy here at all. Otherwise, I chose this place where the demonic energy soars and evil ghosts robbery!"

The dog suddenly had a glimmer of inspiration and asked, "By the way! You often chat with him. Do you know what his name is? Just find a name."

Lin Suqing shook his head and looked deep at the rain curtain outside the door: "No one in the whole town knows what their name is."

The heavy rain suddenly became lighter and the wind gradually became quieter, which meant that the rain stopped and the wind stopped. Occasionally, someone who returned late because of sheltering the rain hurriedly ran past, but the old couple still could not see them. They had passed by the door around Yin hour. Today was already three hours late, but they were still not seen.

"You eat first, I'll go to the east to inquire and ask if anyone has seen them pass by." Xia Huniao suggested.
