Chapter Thirty-Eight: I Was Almost Eaten by a Wolf
Dongmei sat on the bed and let Taotao stand at the door, with her hands behind her back, not allowed to eat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Nana, who was still twisted and didn't eat, saw her mother beating her brother, so she obediently lay on the table and began to eat.
Dongmei had a dark face, glared at Taotao and said, "I did something wrong, and I still have a face to cry, do you say you are right." ”
Tao Tao sobbed and thought, he didn't seem to have done anything wrong, and then think about it carefully, is he going to school soon, and the match skin and panda torch he has accumulated are not enough, so his mother hit himself, so he sobbed and said: "No, I will go out with Qiangqiang more tomorrow to find it." ”
Dongmei looked suspicious, and the second monk was puzzled and said, "He Qiangqiang went out to look for it, what are you looking for?"
After speaking, Dongmei turned her head and thought about whether she should go out to play with fire again. So, he pulled him over and searched his pocket for a few matchboxes and ten pictures of the panda torch.
When Dongmei saw the matchskin found out of Taotao's pocket, she instantly couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, and scolded: "I went out to play with fire again, where did I get so many matchskins." You've forgotten what I told me, the story of playing with fire. ”
When Tao Tao was a child, he liked to play with a small piece of paper in the stove, Dongmei told Tao Tao a story, saying that there was a child named Junhai in the village before, who especially liked to play with fire, and his parents didn't listen to how he played.
One day, Junhai went out to play, slept on the wheat straw drop, woke up, had nothing to do, and actually lit the wheat straw drop he was lying on, but the fire burned big, he didn't run out, and was burned to ashes, poor his mother and grandmother, the tears he thought about were all cried dry, but there was no Junhai anymore.
Tao Tao said while avoiding Dongmei's beating and scolding: "I'm not playing with fire, I'm accumulating matchboxes and panda torches." ”
Dongmei became even more angry when she heard this, she played with fire, and lied and deceived people, such a child is not good to clean up, and he will be lawless when he grows up, so he beat even more fiercely, Taotao cried and shouted: "I want to go to school." ”
Dongmei said angrily: "What does playing with fire have to do with school. ”
Tao Tao said in a hoarse voice: "If you don't have enough 100 match skins and panda torches, the teacher won't let you go to school." ”
Dongmei stopped her hand and reprimanded Taotao loudly: "What does going to school have to do with matchboxes and panda torches, who told you?"
Tao Tao sat on the ground, covered his head with his hands and said, "Qiang Qiang told me that if you don't accumulate enough 100 match skins and panda torches to hand over to the teacher, you won't be allowed to sign up for school." ”
Dongmei asked: "Who told Qiangqiang, is it his family?"
Tao Tao wiped his tears and said, "No, it was Tang Tang who said it to Qiangqiang." ”
Dongmei didn't want to ask, and if she continued to ask, she didn't know how many children she could recruit, but she suddenly realized that she might have blamed the child and hit the wrong child.
And Nana, who was sitting at the table to eat, was unusually well-behaved than usual, not only ate a whole bowl of noodles, but also drank the soup, she was afraid that her mother would beat her brother and then beat herself.
After eating, Nana pretended to wash the dishes again, brought the bowl to the dishwashing basin at the door, quietly opened a crack in the door, and ran away in a flash.
Dongmei pulled up Taotao, who was sitting on the ground, patted him clean of the dust on his body, and then wiped Taotao's tears and said: "Go to school, you don't have to accumulate those things, we are a nine-year compulsory education, as long as you are a child, you have the right to go to school, you know, the school will not not give you registration." ”
Hearing this, Tao Tao, who was sobbing just now, suddenly turned cloudy and said, "Really? Then I don't have to accumulate these things anymore?"
Dongmei looked at her child and regretted her recklessness just now, she hugged Taotao in her arms and said, "Don't save up, baby, it's all your mother's fault, it's your mother's fault for you." As she spoke, tears of distress flowed from Dongmei's eyes.
As Taotao's school days approached day by day, Dongmei's psychology became more and more anxious.
She is anxious not only about her children's studies, but also about the place surrounded by mountains.
Dongmei was born in Qinchuan in 800 miles since she was a child, and grew up in Qinchuan in 800 miles, where she was born and raised, is an open place, the sky is round, and there is no end in sight, whenever the rape flowers bloom, it is beautiful.
However, after following Wei Guo here, there is no longer an endless view, and there are only countless hills, mountains that cannot be seen through.
When I was in my hometown, I lived separately from Weiguo, but I didn't expect to come to Weiguo's unit, and I still had to live separately from Weiguo.
She wants to defend the country, miss her hometown, miss her parents, miss her hometown, and that kind of urgency is not a hurry, but a kind of inner-hearted urgency that cannot be described in words.
During this time, whenever she was free, she took her two children along the sheep intestine trail, climbed to the top of the mountain, sat under a shady tree, and looked at the west, that distant hometown, but what she saw was a sea of mountains and clouds.
Whenever this time, Tao Tao will be next to Dongmei, singing the new song, he sings very loudly, the sound surrounds in the mountains, from time to time to echo: the cows are still grazing on the side of the mountain, but the cattle don't know where to go, it's not that he lost the cattle greedily, the child of the cattle Wang Erxiao, on the morning of September 16, the enemy swept to a ravine, the ravine covered the rear organs, covered thousands of fellow villagers, at that very critical time, the enemy he came to this ravine, dizzy and disoriented, grabbed the second small and let him lead the way, the second small he obediently walked in front, brought the enemy into our ambush circleThe enemy knew that he had been deceived, the enemy picked up the second child at the tip of the gun, and fell to death next to the big stone, our thirteen-year-old Wang Erxiao, died heroically in the countryside, the cadres and fellow villagers were safe, but he slept in the cold countryside, his face was smiling, his blood stained the red and blue sky, the autumn wind blew all over every village, and also spread with moving stories, every village shouted tears, singing the two small cowherds, singing the two small cowherds.
Early in the morning, before Dongmei got out of bed, she heard a noise in the family area outside, as if something had happened.
She got dressed and went out without bothering to wash her face and brush her teeth.
When I went out, I didn't walk a few steps, and I saw that not far away, some family members surrounded several people from the Forestry Bureau, who were carrying ** in their hands, as if they were looking for something.
Dongmei leaned over and heard someone from the Forestry Bureau ask the people around her if they had seen a wolf and they were chasing the wolf.
Yesterday, a big scalper from a fellow villager was eaten off half of his body.
There was a lot of discussion among the family members, and a family member with a ponytail asked someone from the Forestry Bureau: "Although our eighth team is remote, it is not so remote that there are jackals, tigers and leopards." ”
A family member who ate this steamed bun with green onions asked, "Where did the wolf come from?"
The person from the Forestry Bureau replied: "There have been no wolves here since liberation, and the probability of a wolf suddenly appearing is also very low, it is estimated that the trees on the north mountain have been cut down, the habitat of the wolves has been artificially reduced, and the wolves cannot find food, so they trek through mountains and rivers and ventured down the mountains to come here." ”
A barefoot family member asked: "We are all young people, there are many children, and we are all elementary school and preschool children, don't we dare to let wolves appear here with us, if our children are taken away by wolves, we will not be done with you." ”
The person from the Forestry Bureau explained: "We also came all the way to find the footprints of this wolf, that is, we are going to give the wolf an anesthetic injection, and then the wolf will be sent back to Beishan, if it is dangerous to the safety of the people, we will not hesitate to kill it." ”
Hearing this, the surrounding family members applauded happily.
The people from the Forestry Bureau looked around and asked, "If any of you see the wolf, report it quickly, don't delay the best time." ”
Dongmei, who was standing at the back, heard everyone's discussions, and suddenly her back was cold, and a cold sweat broke out on her body, and she thought of last night.
There are no toilets in the bungalows where the workers of the eighth team live, and before going to bed at night, everyone usually puts a spittoon or urinal in the house for the convenience of the night.
That night, as usual, Dongmei put a urinal on the floor and coaxed the two children to sleep.
In the middle of the night, she suddenly had a stomach upset, and her stomach hurt badly, she didn't know what she ate yesterday, and she had a bad stomach.
However, the urinal on the floor is only used to relieve small hands, and if you untie big hands, children are okay, but if they are adults, it is too dirty, so she got dressed and prepared to go to the toilet in the southeast corner of the eighth team community.
The night was dark and the wind was high, and before going out, Dongmei hesitated, but she still went out hard.
Dongmei was almost trotting all the way, and when she was about to get to the toilet, she suddenly found that on the earthen beam in front of her, there was a big dog squatting, with green light in its eyes, looking at herself brightly, and opening its mouth from time to time.
Dongmei remembered very clearly, through the moonlight, she clearly saw the row of fangs in the big dog's mouth.
The wolf is an extremely intelligent animal, whenever it encounters its prey, it will generally not take the initiative to attack, it will first test the prey's reaction, if the prey shows fear, timidity or retreat, it indicates that the prey has given up resistance, and the wolf will pounce on it.
But at that time, Dongmei, because she was in a hurry to go to the toilet, rushed to the earthen beam, bypassed the earthen beam and threw herself into the toilet.
When the wolf saw that the prey not only did not show the intention of retreating, but rushed towards him, as if he wanted to prey on himself, the wolf was startled, jumped off the earthen beam and ran.
When Dongmei came out of the toilet and was about to walk home, she clearly heard a noise behind her, and she didn't look behind her because she was in a hurry to go home.
The wolf is a cunning animal, if the frontal attack fails, it will suddenly attack from behind, generally straighten up, put the two front paws on the shoulders of the person, when the person turns back, bite the person's neck, until the person suffocates, and then drag it away, slowly eat.
Dongmei ran home, thinking that it must be the big dog just now, she scolded that it was really a dog that couldn't change eating, and by the way, she also quickened her pace.
What Dongmei didn't know was that when she pushed open the hidden door and entered, the cunning wolf just flew towards her and stretched out its two front paws.
At this moment, Dongmei entered the house and closed the door, and the wolf grabbed the hard door.
Dongmei only felt a creaking sound on the door, thinking that it was the wind blowing, but she didn't pay much attention.
The people from the Forestry Bureau, seeing that no one was talking, prepared to go back.
Suddenly, Dongmei, who was standing behind the crowd, raised her hand and said in the dialect of her hometown, "I know where the wolf is." ”
