The thunder went away.Did I really hear it, or was it a dream?dare not say.As soon as I opened my eyes; no, I couldn't open my eyes, the mud on the wall of the minister's wife seemed to stick to my face.Yes, it was still thundering, and I did wake up.I touched it with my hands; I couldn't, my hands were all pressed by stones.Feet and legs also seemed to be missing and it felt like someone had planted me in the dirt. He pulled his hand out and pulled his face away.The house of the minister's wife was turned into a big earthen tomb.As I stretched my legs, I yelled for help like crazy; it doesn't matter to me, the envoy's wife and the eight goblins must be buried at the very bottom!There were still some raindrops flying in the sky, no matter how much I shouted, no one came: cat people are afraid of water, and of course they will not come out until the sky is completely clear.

Pulling out the half of myself buried, I began to scrape the pile of soil like a mad dog, and I didn't care to see if there was any injury on my body.When the weather cleared, all the cat people came out.While digging up the soil, I shouted for help.A lot of people came and stood watching from the sidelines.I thought they had misunderstood what I meant, so I began to explain to them: not to save me, but to save the nine women buried underneath.Everyone understood, and squeezed forward, but still no one made a move.I knew it would be useless to just rely on appeals, so I touched my trouser pockets, and the souls of the country were still there.Come and pick it up for me, give me a national soul!Everyone froze for a while, as if they didn't believe me, I took out two pieces of the national soul and showed them.All right, they came up like a swarm of bees.But one came up, picked up a stone, and left; another came up, picked up a brick, and left; I understood in my heart: it is the habit of cat people to pick up when it is cheap.Well, let you go; anyway, remove all the bricks and stones, and the people below will naturally be rescued.soon!Like ants transporting a pile of rice grains, it is unexpected that they can be transported so fast.There was a voice from below, and my heart relaxed a little.However, it was only the voice of the Minister's wife, and my heart jumped again.It's all been removed: the minister's wife is in the middle, sitting facing the wooden hole.The other eight women were all lying on the four corners, completely motionless.I was going to help the minister's wife up first, but as soon as my hand was on her arm, she said:

Ouch!Don't touch me, I'm the Minister's wife!Rob my house, I'll go to see the emperor, honestly move the bricks back to me!In fact, her eyes are still covered with mud; it is probably a common thing for cat people to rob the house when they see it collapsed, so she has guessed it.People around are still looking for it on tiptoe.The bricks have been completely removed, and some have begun to hold the earth with their hands; the economic pressure makes people feel that it is better to take a handful of earth than go home empty-handed, I think so. The minister's wife grabbed the mud off her face, two pieces were broken on her cheek, a large lump was swollen on her forehead, and her eyes looked like they were on fire.She struggled to stand up, and limped past a cat man. She didn't know how to be so accurate, and bit his ear all at once, while biting, she let out a meow from the corner of her mouth, as if the cat had caught a mouse.The one who was bitten howled and beat the ambassador's wife's stomach backwards with his hands desperately.After walking around for a long time, the minister's wife suddenly saw a woman lying on the ground, she let go, and the cat man ran away like an arrow, and the people around shouted and retreated more than ten feet away.The minister's wife embraced a woman and wept bitterly.

My heart softened. It turned out that she was not a heartless person. I wanted to persuade her, but I was afraid that she would still bite my ear, because she was indeed a little crazy. After crying for a long time, she saw me again. It was you, it was you, you knocked down my house!You can't run away, and they can't run away when they rob me; I will go to the emperor and kill you all! I don't run, I said slowly, I will try my best to help you. You are a foreigner, I believe your words.For those things, the emperor must send troops to search their homes, and if even a single brick is found, they must be killed!I am the Minister's wife!The envoy's wife's spit flew far away, and spit out a mouthful of blood with a snap.

I don't know if she has that much power.I started to comfort her, but I was afraid she was crazy.Let's start with these eight women I asked. What are you doing to these eight goblins here?I only care about the living, not the dead, do you have a way to deal with them? This stopped me, I know what to do, I haven't held a funeral in the cat country yet. The minister's wife's eyes became more and more frightening. There was a layer of water on the eyeballs, but the wild fire of madness did not diminish. It seemed that the tears were drying in the eyes, and the white eyeballs glowed like a magnet.

Let me tell you!She shouted, I have nowhere to complain, no money, no man, no fancier, wife of the envoy, tell me! I could see that she was crazy. She seemed to have forgotten what she just said, and wanted to complain to me.

If the minister wants to have fun, I can't control it. I am a wife, and I have to have the bearing of a wife.This little elf, as soon as the envoy ran past her, she would howl like a human voice.When the envoy was having fun, seeing her pleading, she shouted: Mrs. envoy!Mrs. Minister!Good ancestor, come and save me!Can I ban the envoy for fun?I do not care.After the matter was over, she lay still and pretended to die, or did she really faint?I don't know, and I don't delve into it.I gave her medicine and food, this dead thing, she doesn't appreciate my benefits at all!Later, when she grew up, seeing how domineering she was, she wished she could swallow the envoy whole.The minister bought new people again, and she cried all day long, complaining that I did not stop the minister from buying people; I am the wife of the minister, and the minister does not buy many people, who can think highly of him?This little goblin, complain that I don't care about the minister, waste things, shame things, little goblins!The Minister's wife pushed the dead cat's head aside and grabbed another one.This thing is a prostitute, she eats fan leaves all day long, and even lures the envoy to eat them; how can the envoy go to a foreign country if he is addicted to eating fan leaves?Look at her fuss!What should I do? I can't stop the envoy from playing with prostitutes, and I can't watch the envoy eat fan leaves, and I can't go to foreign countries.My difficulty, you would not have imagined how great the difficulty of being a minister's wife is!I have to keep an eye on her during the day so that she doesn't steal the leaves, and at night I have to guard against her instigating the envoy to mess with me, this dead thing!She wants to run away all the time, my two eyes are simply not enough, I always have to take a look at her, the minister's concubine ran out, what is everyone's face?The eyes of the minister's wife seemed to be on fire, and she grabbed the head of a dead woman again:

She wanted to be the wife of the minister, haha, how could it be done.She fell in love with the minister, just because he was a minister.The other goblins were bought by the envoy with money, and this thing was willing to be with him. The envoy didn't spend any money, so he played with her for nothing.She has completely disgraced our women!As soon as she came in, the envoy didn't even dare to talk to us.When the minister goes out, she has to follow, and the minister meets guests.She has to accompany, she seems to be the minister's wife.What am I doing?The minister should buy more women, he should; the wife of the minister can only have me!I had to punish her.

She was close to me again, and planned to unite with me to oppose this new goblin.Women are the same, they panic when they are not with a man; the minister sleeps with this new goblin, and she cries all night.I have something to say: you still want to be the wife of the minister?Just because you can't do without the envoy?Look at me, a real minister's wife!If you want to be the wife of a minister, don't try to monopolize the minister.

The eyeballs of the minister's wife were all red.He hugged a dead woman's head and hit the ground a few times.Laughed for a while, looked at me and I couldn't help but took a few steps back. While the envoy is alive, they don't keep me calm all day long, watching this, guarding against that, scolding this, beating that, they don't keep me idle all day long.The envoy's money was all spent by them.The strength of the envoy was sucked dry by them.The envoy died, and not even a boy was left behind.It's not that they never gave birth, all eight of them gave birth to boys, and none of them survived.How can you live? One gave birth to a baby, and seven people tried to murder him day and night.Compete for favor, lest there be a boy who will be promoted to the wife of the minister.I am a real wife who is not as jealous as they are, I just don't care who kills whose child is their business and has nothing to do with me; I don't harm children, and I don't care if they murder each other's dolls , A wife must have the bearing of a wife.

The envoy is dead, he has no money, no man, so give all these eight goblins to me!Is there any way, can I let them run away and marry?I can't, I watch them all day long, and try to persuade them to understand the truth of life.Do they understand?not necessarily!But I am not discouraged, I take care of them day and night.what do i wantI have nothing to hope for, I just hope that the emperor will understand my difficulties, my ambitions, and my character, and reward me with some money, and give me a big plaque with the inscription "Jie Lie Ke Feng" on it.But, didn't you hear me cry just now?Did you hear that?

I nod. What am I crying for?Cry these dead goblins?I don't have time to cry about them!I'm crying for my fate, Mrs. Minister, if you don't eat the leaves, now the house will collapse and my grades will be completely destroyed!I'm going to see the emperor again, what can I say.Suppose the emperor sits on the throne and asks me: Mrs. Minister, what achievements do you have to ask for rewards?what did I say?I said that I took care of eight women for the dead minister, and I didn't make a fool of myself, and I didn't run away privately.The emperor said, where are they?what did I say?Say they are all dead?Is there any reward without evidence?what did I say?Mrs. Minister!Her head was pressed against her chest.I wanted to go there, but I was afraid she would scold me.

She raised her head again, but her eyes were still fixed: Wife of the Minister, you don’t need to eat fan leaves when you’ve been to a foreign country!Mrs. Dabian Minister The minister's wife lowered her head again, and slowly fell to one side, lying between the two women.
