"What's the fun?"

"You don't know yet, I heard people say that Liu Qing and Baozi Xishi, one is going to be sent to serve labor today, and the other is going to parade to the public. This kind of lively thing may not happen once in three years. Look." Second Sister Niu's eyes flashed with excitement, seeing that Liu Yimian hadn't reacted yet, she pulled his arm again and dragged him forward.

"Don't be stunned. How can Shushushu be able to read books? You have to come out to get some air at ordinary times. Let's watch a good show with my sister-in-law."

At this time, Liu Yimian did not realize that Baozi Xishi's parade was not just a simple parade.

"Just wait here, I heard that you have to swim all four streets in the east, west, north, south, and south." Second Sister Niu excitedly talked to the people around her and revealed some news.

Liu Qing was imprisoned in the prison. He set off directly from Daxi Town and would not return to Changliu Town. But Baozi Xishi people were still locked in the town. After Lu Zhanhong's warrant was issued, Zhu Zhaotou of Changliu Town executed it.

Liu Yimian wasn't very interested in the excitement, but there were a lot of people standing on both sides of West Street. Except for the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, the scene was the most crowded and lively one, and Liu Yimian followed and waited for the meeting.

Xu Shi passed two minutes and no one was seen yet, so Liu Yimian lost her patience when she waited, so she said goodbye to the second sister-in-law Niu and went back. When he was about to enter the alley, there was a loud noise behind him, Liu Yimian turned around subconsciously, and saw a simple car made of wooden pillars walking in this direction.

Seeing the situation in front of her, Liu Yimian's eyes widened.

"I really don't have any clothes on."

"People want face, and trees want bark. Then Liu Qing is not a good thing, and Baozi Xishi is not much better."

"I wasn't thick-skinned before, but now I know it's too late, so what are you covering!"

"I heard that the mayor didn't have the heart and wanted to leave a dress for Baozi Xishi. But Liu Qing's wife refused to say anything. After two days of trouble, the mayor finally gave up the idea."

"So offending a woman will not end well!"

"People are doing it, God is watching!"

A group of people were talking nonsense, and they didn't notice Liu Yimian walking behind them.

In the cage car that was gradually approaching, Baozi Xishi sat covered in red fruit, with his legs together and bent, his arms tightly wrapped around his knees, his upper body resting on his thighs, his hair was messy and scattered behind his head, his eyes were red and swollen from crying, The right cheek was raised high, and there was a slap print that never faded.

Obviously, the day was not going well.

Although he had already guessed that there would be today, but seeing this scene with his own eyes, Liu Yimian took a deep breath and deeply felt the strictness of the law and the weight of the criminal law.

Zhu Zhaotou drove the car past before Liu Yimian clutched her heart that was beating so fast, and trotted all the way home.

into the night.

Baozi Xishi was wearing a dress that Zhu Chutou put on her when she was released from the cage.

She fell on the cold slate floor, and was naked except for a thin coat. Even in summer, after entering the night, it is very cool. Baozi Xishi didn't seem to notice, he lowered his head and sat on the ground. He didn't know how long it took before he let out a low laugh.

"Rehabilitate... Be a man again... How to be a man again... What..." These were the last words Zhu Zhaotou said before he left. For others, such a simple sentence, but for Baozi Xi Shi, who was paraded in the street and was reviled by others, it was as difficult as the sky.

In the quiet night, she laughed frantically for a full quarter of an hour, her laughing voice was so hoarse that she couldn't make a sound, and then she got up from the ground softly. The clothes on her body were shaky, but she didn't care, she just walked into the room with a smile and swayed, lighting a candle.

Gradually, the smile on his face disappeared, and Steamed Bun Xishi's expressionless cheeks were terrifyingly calm. She caressed the black hair that fell by her ears, hummed a small tune and turned into the room, picked out a red silk cloth with oleander embroidered on a white background, put it on neatly, sat in front of the mirror and looked at it. Chinese.

After staying in a dark room with no sunlight for several days, not eating enough to sleep well, and crying for days, he looked very haggard and thin.

Baozi Xishi caressed his left cheek with pity, slowly put powder on his face, sipped red paper on his lips, and even painted a fresh and lovely peach blossom makeup on his forehead, until the person in the mirror looked back to his former beauty. Just smiled lightly.

"It's still so beautiful..." Baozi Xishi sighed softly, "Even in the end, you can't beat me. It's a pity that Brother Qing can't see it, otherwise I really want to ask him to choose..."

Baozi Xishi stood up, walked swayingly to the wardrobe, and took out a belt from it. The embroidered thread on the top looks quite delicate, about three fingers wide, and it looks like it is used by men.

"Even if I get downstairs, I will accompany you every day, and meet you every night in your dreams..." Baozi Xishi sang a song without words, which seemed a bit desolate in the deserted night . While humming, she threw the belt in her hand over the roof beam to tie a knot, and in the final high-pitched tone, she stood on the wooden bench—

Baozi Xishi looked around at the familiar furnishings, smiled and shook his head, closed his eyes, and kicked the stool down.

With a bang, the wooden bench fell to the ground, and the person hanging on the roof beam kicked his legs, but after a few breaths, there was no movement.

"Hey, why isn't this door closed?" The woman who was shopping for vegetables early in the morning, with a vegetable basket in her hand, passed by the open door.

This is Baozi Xishi's family who was parading in the street yesterday. Even a woman who has been a neighbor with her for more than ten years can't help but wonder what she is doing at this time.

Taking advantage of no one, she stood at the door and put her probe in to see.

"Bun Xi Shi?" the woman called out.

There was clearly a figure in a corner of the room, but no matter what she called, she would not answer.

The woman couldn't help shivering, feeling a little strange, and walked in again, screaming as she walked, the figure didn't move, but it was clearly there, but she didn't say a word.
