Those slutty men may be locals, so we didn't dare to go back to the inn, so we walked south along the avenue to chase the circus.

Previously, we made an appointment to gather in a village called Fangjiazhuang.

After two days of intimate contact, I already felt a sense of dependence on Cui'er. Maybe I regarded her as a mother, maybe I regarded her as a girl, maybe I regarded her as both a mother and a girl.

I think Cui'er is my relative in the world.

Fangjiazhuang is a big village. When we asked on the way, almost everyone knew about this village. Fangjiazhuang was very far away from the county town, and we walked for a day but didn't get there.

When night came, we lived in a family. The old lady in this family ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name. She cleaned her house and let us live. There were only three people in this family, except for the old lady, there were also sons and daughters-in-law.

The old lady cooked a pot of millet porridge for us, snatched a few steamed buns, and took out two carrots from the pickled vegetables. When we were about to get the chopsticks, a man and a woman walked into the door, which was the old lady's son and daughter-in-law.

The old lady said that the couple was doing some small business in the county town. The daughter-in-law was obviously very knowledgeable. She was about the same age as Cui'er, but she was not shy in front of outsiders. She generously held Cui'er's hand and said, "Why are you looking so good? Just like the people on the stage." In fact, the people who sang on the stage are all rich in color, and real people may not be as good as Cui'er.

The couple sat at the same table for dinner with us. They chatted and laughed and looked very cheerful. The husband picked up the shredded radish for his wife to eat. His wife's face was full of happiness. The husband also wanted to pick up the shredded radish for his wife, and his wife blocked it coquettishly with chopsticks. The simple shredded radish also made them feel loving and happy. After dinner, the couple secretly held hands and walked into their room. Both of them had red faces. Cui'er looked at them, with a look of melancholy and envious expression on her face.

After dinner, we sat in the main hall and chatted with the old lady.

The old lady's house was a wealthy family in the past. As soon as she entered the door, there was a screen wall. The screen wall was inlaid with stone-carved flowers and bamboo and wood. Behind the screen wall was a spacious courtyard. On both sides of the courtyard were wing rooms, there were brick and stone carved patterns on the walls of the wing rooms. There were three upper rooms behind the wing rooms, and there were three upper rooms, with the main room in the middle, which was equivalent to today's living room, and on both sides were guest rooms, which was equivalent to today's bedroom. The young couple slept in the wing rooms, and we slept in the upper room.

The main hall is luxuriously decorated, with four wooden doors that open in the door, with wooden carved patterns of blessing, fortune, fortune, and happiness, and the windows are lattice wooden windows, with newly pasted window paper on them, and red window flowers. In the middle of the main hall is a Eight Immortals table, and a portrait is placed in the middle of the Eight Immortals table. There was no photo taken in the countryside in the past, so people could only paint. Above the Eight Immortals table is an antique picture, with a deer lying under a blooming plum blossom tree.

Every item in the main hall is treasure. If it were placed today, the items in the main hall alone could be sold for a good price.

I looked at the portrait on the Eight Immortals table and asked curiously: "Who is this?"

The old lady said, "It's my man, I left two years ago."

The old lady asked about our situation again. Cui'er looked at me, as if she was afraid that I would say it. I also knew that we were doing something shameful, so she simply stopped talking. Cui'er hesitated, blushed and didn't know how to answer.

The old lady looked at Cui'er with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I can't say it, it's just a difficult thing. If you lack something, just say it, who can't do anything without it?"

Cui'er nodded.

The old lady looked at me and said, "Is this your brother?"

Cui'er nodded quickly again.

The old lady said, "Look at the cotton coat the child is dirty and torn, and you must have a hard time." The old lady got up and walked out of the main hall, walked into a wing room. After a while, she walked out again and had a pair of silver bracelets in her hand. She handed the silver bracelets to Cui'er and said, "It's the New Year, I'll sell the pair of bracelets and buy a new cotton coat for the child."

Cui'er stood up in panic: "How can this happen?"

The old lady said, "They are all destined to come. It was the Bodhisattva who sent you to my house. You must accept this pair of bracelets."

Cui'er held the silver bracelet and put it on, and it was not right if she put it down.

The old lady said again: "Originally, there was still some money at home. A circus came to the village two days ago. My son and daughter-in-law were not at home. I went out to watch the circus and saw that all the silver dollar bills at home were stolen. This pair of silver bracelets were my dowry and were wrapped in clothes and bags, but were not discovered by the thief."

When Cui'er heard these words, she felt as if she was burned by fire. She quickly placed the silver bracelet on the Eight Immortals table. I looked at the kind-looking old lady and didn't dare to say a word.

That night, the old lady and Cui'er seemed to be talking very late. After listening for a while, I yawned. The old lady used a copper basin to wash her feet, let me soak my feet, took off my clothes, and put me in a thick quilt. The old lady said, "Look at your cotton coat, it's broken like this, and the cotton wool is exposed, how can it block the wind? Oh, there are lice, so many lice."

The old lady took out my torn cotton coat and trousers, and then came in with needle and thread. She said, "The cotton coat and trousers my child wore when he was a child are still there, but they are a bit big. I'll change it and you can wear it tomorrow. Let's sleep well."

The old lady walked out and my quilt began to warm up. I suddenly felt a cool face. I reached out to touch it, and I didn't know when two lines of tears shed.

I was sleeping in the quilt and heard the old lady and Cui'er talking from the main hall, talking about the customs and customs of this area. I yawned and fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already dawn. On the bed beside me, Cui'er leaned against the wall and buried her body in the quilt. Her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had just cried.

I got into Cui'er's quilt, scratched her itch and said, "Haha, you're crying, you're crying."

Cui'er pushed my arm away in annoyance and said, "Don't make a fuss, be quiet."

I didn't dare to make trouble anymore, so I asked, "When did you go to bed last night?"

Cui'er said: "I haven't slept all night."

I said, "What are you doing if you haven't slept all night? You're not sleepy?"

Cui'er said, "I'm not sleepy."

It's so strange. Since I didn't do anything, I couldn't figure it out why I didn't sleep all night.

While I was thinking hard, there was a knock on the door. It was my daughter-in-law knocking on the door. She asked: "Did you wake up? Have you eaten when you wake up?"

Cui'er agreed and walked out. I followed Cui'er out and found that the sun had risen to the treetops in the east.

After dinner, we all went out, so we followed the old lady up the mountain. The old lady's son and daughter-in-law went to the county town to do business.

Three or four miles away from the village, there is a mountain. The mountain is not high, but it is steep. There is a temple on the top of the mountain. It is old and there is a stone road from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. The temples at that time were not charged any money, and the temples at that time were far less than the pilgrims today.

The pines and cypresses on the top of the mountain are lush, and even in winter, they are green. The temple is hidden among the pine and cypress bushes, which looks extremely quiet and solemn. This ancient building that worships Bodhisattvas cannot actually be called a temple, it should be called a temple, because the abbot inside is a nun.

The nun held a whisk in her hand, her face was peaceful and her eyes were stable. I couldn't tell her age, let alone what she was thinking.

The old lady and Cui'er burned incense together, and then knelt down to the Bodhisattva. Cui'er's expression was very serious and her movements were very gentle. I had never seen Cui'er's expression like that.

After kneeling down, the old lady and Cui'er followed the nun into the inner room. I followed her into the room and pulled Cui'er's clothes from behind. Cui'er pushed me away. She said, "You are playing outside, don't come in."

I played outside for a while and saw a group of sparrows grabbing insects under the steps. The sparrows kept flying away with the insects in their arms, and the rest of the sparrows squeezed and chased after them. When the sparrows flew away, I felt bored, so I went to the interior and outdoors, moved two stones under my feet, and watched what they were doing inside through the crack in the window.

The nun sat on the futon, the old lady also sat on another futon, and Cui'er sat on a small stool.

I heard Cui'er talk about her family background, and she had never told me before.

Cui'er and Qing'er are sisters. When they were very young, their father died and their mother had no choice but to live. They took them to marry a man who was performing circus in the world, and this person was Gao Shulin.

Gao Shulin trained them to perform acrobatics. Gao Shulin was born in a family of circus acrobatics. When they were still very young, they learned some acrobatics and were able to perform independently. Every night, the four of them lived on a kang, and this was the case when they were young.

The two of them grew up and became very beautiful. However, Gao Shulin and his mother became more frequent. Suddenly one day, their mother died and I don’t know what disease they were suffering from.

After that, only the three of them were left on the bed. When they were sleeping at night, the three of them slept in the same bed. They didn't feel anything wrong, because they were like this since they were young.

One day, the tree stump joined their team. The tree stump was a monkey-shower and also traveled all year round. At the suggestion of the tree stump, they began to perform circus acrobatics in a carriage. Because of the rich and colorful content, they became famous far and near.

Later, the kite, telephone pole, Bodhi, and Daidog all joined in. The crowd was huge and they were stealing while performing.

When I heard Cui'er say my name outside the window, I listened quietly.

The nun asked, "What are the symptoms when your mother died?"

Cui'er said: "She has a black face and her eyes are wide open, and she looks scary."

The nun said, "What did you do when you slept with him?"

Cui'er said: "He crawled on me and stretched the things under him into my body."

The nun asked, "Why did you ask him to do this?"

Cui'er said: "He is my father. He said that every father and daughter will sleep in the same bed and will do this."

The nun and the old lady looked at each other and sighed softly.

There was silence in the room. I thought they would talk about mine, but they didn't talk about me.

I felt bored and was about to leave when I suddenly heard the nun speak. The nun said, "All this is different from what you imagined, and it is also different from what he told you."

Cui'er looked at the nun.

The nun said, "Your mother brought you two sisters to his house, and he taught you to perform acrobatics. As you grow up, he had a bad idea about you and wanted to possess your body. If your mother didn't agree, he poisoned your mother to death. Without your mother's obstruction, she successfully occupied you. In order to make you willingly possessed by him, he deceived you with lies, and every father and daughter would do this. He was worried that you would wake up, so he avoided contact with the outside world, especially not letting you contact adult men."

Cui'er looked at the old lady and then at the nun, and she asked, "Is this true?"

The nun said, "That's true."

Cui'er was still skeptical, and she asked, "How do you know?"

The nun raised his head, his eyes shining brightly, and his eyes seemed to penetrate the house. She said: "I used to be a person with the red light. I walked into Beijing with my sisters with my big swords, determined to help the Qing Dynasty and destroy the foreign countries and support the country. However, the Lafayette betrayed us, colluded with the foreign devils, strangled the red lights, and I escaped from the dead, buried my name in Hebei, got married with my elder brother, and wanted to live a stable life. But a year later, the Qing army found our seclusion in the mountains. The elder brother was killed and I became a nun. This has been more than 20 years."

The nun continued, "I have a father, but since I was in my teens, my father has never touched my body. Only my senior brother, that is, my husband, can touch my body. That person is not your husband, of course I can't touch you."

Cui'er screamed, covered her face with her hands, and his words came out from her fingers: "How could this happen?!"

I could understand what they said. When I saw Cui'er crying, I wanted to push the door and go in. I subconsciously felt a sense of dependence on Cui'er. However, when I thought that Cui'er had just pushed me out and refused to let me in, I didn't dare to go in.

There was no more talking in the room, only Cui'er thrust and cried. I wanted to hear them say "Dao Dog", but they never said "Dao Dog". I was very disappointed, so I jumped off the stone and looked for fun things in the temple.

There is a huge ginkgo tree in the temple, and there are a pile of stones on the ground. In order to understand, I picked up the stones and threw them one by one on the trunk of the ginkgo tree. I just lost two of them, and suddenly I saw them walking out of the inner room.

Cui'er's eyes were red, she pulled my arm and walked out of the temple. We followed the old lady, who waved her arms to the nun standing on the steps.
