apua siitäkään. Se mahtoikin olla jotain henkistä sairautta, päätteli
hän siinä kävellessään sohjuista maantietä. Olisiko se tämä kirottu
osuuskauppa-asia? koetti hän tutkia olemustaan, vaan ei sekään
tuntunut syynä olevan. Se oli jotain outoa ja ennen tuntematonta.
Valitettuaan outoa oloaan suutari Horttanaiselle, joka kyläili
sattumalta Ylä-Rietulassa, oli tämä suutari arvellut:
Miirun Eedla pesi yhä vaatteita joen rannalla. Tällä välin oli hän
käynyt kotonaan ja pukeutunut pyhähameeseensa, jonka helmat oli
kumminkin varovaisuuden vuoksi kietaistu vyötärölle.
Punaposkisena ja reippaana siinä vaan liehui ollenkaan
aavistamatta, että veti puoleensa ohi kulkevien ijäkkäitten
poikamiesten huomion, ja sai vakaiset miehet ajattelemaan naima-
asioita silloin, kun muut tärkeämmät asiat olivat kysymyksessä.
— Kuka?
— Kuuletko sinä…!
— Ka, mitä?
Rietula terästyi.
— Oleppa nyt lautamies tai mikä tahansa, niin anna sille sapiskat.
— Niin, minä vaan kysyn, että mitä varten sinä tulet tänne
kokoukseen puhumaan puuta heinää ja sotkemaan ihmisten asioita
ja yrityksiä, aloitteli Rietula. Ja minä kysyn vielä, mikä sinä olet
olevinasi, kun sinun pitää aina haukkua meitä huonosta sovusta ja
pahanilkisyydestä. Sinä et ole edes lautamies ja siltä sinä otat
suuvuoron ja esiinnyt näissä julkisissa paikoissa komentavasti kuin
kukko kanaparvessa. Mutta me emme kuuntele enää tästälähin
sinun turhia jaarituksiasi. Sinut ajetaan ulos, jollet pidä visusti kiinni
leipälaukkuasi. Ajetaan pian koko kyläkunnasta ja Kuivalan
seurakunnasta sinne Hämeeseen, josta olet tänne tullutkin
sekaannusta aikaansaamaan.
Taisi tulla ihan ilkoiset häpeät. Mikä se saikin nyt miehen niin
pehmenemään? Eihän vaan tuo Eedla…? Kyllä se taisi olla sen
ansio, että ryhti meni mieheltä. Mokomakin tallukka siinä…! Ilmankos
se Salomoni sanoikin, että älä katso naisen puoleen. Ja ilmankos
Simsonilta voimat meni, kun nainen leikkasi hiukset. Voi tätä Eedlan
lepukkata, minkä teki!
— Kuuletko sinä!
— Että mitä?
— Älä tolita!
— Kuulkaahan sitä!
— Ulos, Kyrmyniska!
— … vää!
— En!
Kun Iisakki oli saanut kaikki lestit nakelluksi tuvasta, otti hän
rikkinäisen padan ja paistinpannun ja lennätti ne rantakiville niin että
rämähti. Niitä seurasi pöytä ja sänkyrenkkana, joka aukeni kokonaan
liitoksistaan saatuaan potkun rantakivikolle.
— Tartuhan kiinni!
Ja tupa pyllähti nyt vuorostaan jokeen, josta kauhistunut suutari
yhä harasi lestejään.
— Ei ole lysti Iisakilla käräjissä, sen minä takaan. Jos olisi muuten,
mutta meneppäs vierittämään toisen osuutta jokeen. Kyllä se häpeä
vielä maksetaan.
— Pois piti lähteä näiltä mailta. Riita ja tora vaan kiihtyy tässä
kurjassa kyläkunnassa, ja minun vanhat korvani eivät sitä kestä
enää kuunnella. Pois rauhallisemmille maille, jossa ihmisten
asumuksia ei vieritellä jokeen eikä juorut terävien käärmeenkielien
lailla myrkytä ihmisten elämää. Ei minusta ole riitelijäksi enää…
— Enkä minäkään rupea ketään panettelemaan, virkkoi suutarin
eukko ja lähti menemään miehensä häntä seuratessa.
