239. On a bird and one's former self

Just as the scarlet tiger was squatting on the plane tree, a familiar figure walked over to this side.

The person who came was a young girl, she looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, fair and delicate, wearing a beige down jacket, blue jeans, about 1.6 meters tall, and her black hair was tied into a high ponytail.

She carried a basket with a few dried fruits and a firecracker, such a girl was not necessarily very conspicuous even in the country, but when the scarlet tiger saw her, her eyes were full of indescribable excitement.

The girl did not notice that there was a bird in the sycamore tree watching her silently.

She passed under the plane tree, turned into a fork in the road not far away, and walked towards the hill opposite.

The inconspicuous hill opposite is the grave mountain of Chenjiawan, which has the habit of worshipping ancestors on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but it is usually a village of people to worship together in the ancestral hall at the head of the village.

Looking at the girl's appearance, she obviously wanted to worship her ancestors on the grave mountain, and the people who would do this were usually those who had a new mourner in the family, or the deceased whose children were particularly worried about their relatives.

Scarlet Tiger knew that the girl was the latter, and she had gone to worship her mother.

Her mother passed away three years ago, and the new funeral passed early, but every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, after breakfast, she would carry some melons and fruits to her mother's cemetery to worship.

This girl's surname is Hu, her name is scarlet, she is from Chenjiawan, and Chenjiawan has two surnames, one is Chen, the other is Hu, Chen is the main surname, there are more than 30 households, and there are only eight households with the surname Hu.

Since Hu Fei appeared, the scarlet tiger's heart has been undulating like a turbulent wave, his eyes have been firmly glued to her, watching her walk to the opposite grave mountain, involuntarily flapping her wings, and following.

Hu Fei came to the grave mountain, found her own cemetery, stopped in front of the grave of her deceased mother Zheng XX with a tombstone written on it, she took out the things in the blue one by one, set off firecrackers, knelt down and looked up respectfully.

Then he got up and sat on a stone next to him, and said in a babbling voice: "Mom, Scarlet has come to see you, and I'll talk to you about family affairs." ”

"Our family started building this year, the eldest brother and the second brother started together, the three-story three-bedroom and one-living room of the conjoined family, two buildings, built together. ”

"You have been worried that the relationship between the two brothers is not harmonious, now you can rest assured, they get along very well now, everyone eats together at the New Year's dinner, my father and brother and sister-in-law are very happy, and the nephews and nieces are also very sensible. ”

"It's that I owe some foreign debts for the construction of the building, but my brothers and sisters-in-law are working hard now, and this foreign debt will probably not take long to pay off. ”

"As for my daughter, you don't have to worry, I'm already in my third year of high school this year, and I'm going to take the college entrance examination in a few months, and my grades are not bad, as long as I play normally, it shouldn't be a big problem to take the 985 college, you don't have to worry about it." ”

"My dad is still the same as before, he likes to drink, in addition, his body is quite healthy, I will persuade him to drink as little as possible, after all, he is old, and drinking too much is not good for his health. ”

"My daughter thinks that our family is getting better and better, everything is developing in a good way, the only regret is that Mom, you left too early, you have worked hard for half your life, and you have broken your heart for our family, but you have not enjoyed any happiness at all"

When Hu Fei said this, his words became choked, and tears flowed down his white face unconsciously.

The mother is very strong, but the health is very bad, she has been tortured by the disease for more than ten years, in order to live a better life for the family, she is so sick that she can't move in bed, and the rest of the time is busy in the fields.

And my father is a more casual character, although he teaches in the town, he likes to drink and play cards, and half of his salary is consumed on these two things, and his mother quarrels with his father about this, and the conditions at home have not been very good.

My mother's illness was chronic rheumatism, which was difficult to eradicate, coupled with overwork, and there was not enough money for treatment and recuperation, and later, she relied on painkiller hormones for a long time to relieve pain, and by the time she died, her legs and feet were deformed.

It has been three years since her mother passed away, thinking of everything in the past, the sadness in Hu Fei's heart is still roaring and rolling like a tsunami, the tears in her eyes are flowing like rain, and the eyes of the scarlet tiger who followed Hu Fei are also full of tears.

When Hu Fei cleaned up the snot and tears on her face, she turned her head and saw a parrot squatting next to her silently following her to cry, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

She was stunned for more than a dozen breaths before she spoke in a trembling voice: "Mom, yes, is it you?"

Although she is a five-good girl who grew up with a socialist core education, and she has no feudal superstitions, the scene in front of her is really subversive of her cognition.

She used to hear the old people in the village say that after the death of an ancestor of a certain family, if she cares too much about her relatives, she will become some spiritual animals and come out to see her, is this parrot in front of her?

"Hi, Hu Fei, hello. Scarlet Tiger's gaze suddenly collided with Hu Fei, first panicked, then his nose was sore, and he subconsciously blurted out hello to her.

"You" Hu Fei looked at the scarlet tiger with a hesitant expression, not knowing what to call it.

Shicai suddenly saw a parrot squatting with her in front of her mother's grave and weeping, she thought it was her mother who had appeared, but listening to this parrot did not quite like her greeting tone.

But if it is not its mother, how can it know itself and weep at her grave?

"I am not your mother, but I can't say that I have nothing to do with her, when I was born, I had a long dream, in which a kind woman told me many things and the truth of life, and gave me the opportunity to come here to see her daughter."

"I know this kind of thing sounds too fantastical and unreal, you may not believe it, but you see, if it weren't for the enlightenment and enlightenment of some supernatural power, how could a parrot of mine talk to you so fluently?"

Scarlet Tiger didn't think about meeting Hu Fei, but at this moment, listening to Hu Fei's blurted out of his mother, he immediately had a rush in his heart and made up a reason why he appeared here.

"Are you really entrusted by my mother to come to see me?" Hu Fei looked at it suspiciously.

"Of course, if it weren't for your mother, how could I have known so much about your family? Where have you seen a parrot who speaks as fluently as I do?"

Scarlet Tiger was still a little weak at first, but the more he talked about it, the more he felt that this method was good, and he gradually became full of confidence.

It hadn't figured out how to get his father to quit drinking and play cards less, but now that this excuse came out, it was very sure.

In addition to his father's love of drinking and playing cards, he also likes it very much, in addition to classical classics, all kinds of ghost legends and gang stories are also very fond of it.

If it were a human being, it really couldn't be sure to convince his father that the two of them had been with him for most of his life, but now that it has become a bird, it can use a little magic to grasp the story a lot.
