Sure enough, it was the mother and the eldest brother who stood outside the door. The eldest brother's face was full of dark clouds, as if it was about to rain. The mother looked at the ring woman and was a little embarrassed.

The ring woman quickly stepped aside. The eldest brother walked in without saying a word, and his mother followed. The ring woman grabbed her mother's hand and choked and shouted: "Mother!"

The mother looked at the eldest brother, patted the woman's hand again, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, tell your eldest brother a good story." I'm going to go out of the slope to earn centimeters!" After saying that, he turned around and went out.

The eldest brother stood motionless behind the head of the bed and stared at the woman in the ring, as if he was going to cut a few catties of flesh off her. The woman buried her head and wrung the corners of her clothes with her hands.

After a long while, the eldest brother spoke: "What the hell is going on?"

"Hmm...... Well...... Well, I ...... the other day The other day...... Made a baby. The ring woman whispered.

In fact, the eldest brother couldn't hear clearly, but he pretended to hear it. He stared at her for a while, and said as he walked out, "Take half a month's leave and take care of it at home." I will go through the marriage formalities on the eighth day of the next month. I can't meet Zhao Wenjun again before this. Otherwise, I'll break your legs!"

"Hmm......" The woman nodded quickly, her face already pale with fright. I wanted to say something, but I swallowed it anyway.

The ring woman closed the door again and changed her clothes. Like an eggplant frosted after autumn, slumped on the bed, tears flowed down "whoosh".

I don't know when, she fell asleep again.

In a daze, she heard a child shouting, "Mother, mother, come and save me, come and save me!"

She found herself standing in a mist-shrouded grove and lost. She spun around, but she couldn't get out.

She had no choice but to stand under a big tree and look around. But the child's voice grew louder and closer.

No matter how she looked, she couldn't see any children anywhere. Very frightened, his body stepped back and asked loudly: "Who are you, who are you, there is a kind of coming out!"

"Hahahaha! I can't see how bold the chick is!"

With a burst of laughter, a masked man in a black robe fell in front of the woman with a swaddling baby in his arms. The woman involuntarily leaned against the trunk of the tree, and her hands tightly grabbed the trunk. But she still pretended not to be afraid at all, and shouted: "Who are you, in broad daylight, pretending to be a ghost!"

"You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that you have to trade your most precious thing for your child!"

"What, what a child! My child is gone!"

"Who said it wasn't there, didn't it?" the masked man threw the swaddling clothes in front of her.

The ring woman looked down and saw that it was really a fat boy. A pair of black eyes swirled around. I watched her laugh vigorously.

The ring woman was so frightened that she sat on the ground, could it be that the child I killed became a ghost and came to settle accounts with me!

"Hahaha...... That's right, this is the child you killed, but it's not dead, I saved him. ”

"Who are you coaxing? How can you be sure he's my child. ”

"Your child was 7 months old, and there is a black birthmark on the back of his right hand, can you see it?"

The woman slowly crawled over and looked at the back of the child's right hand, and sure enough, there was a black birthmark. She looked up at the masked man, "What do you need me to do?"

"You need to trade your most precious thing for your child's life!"

"I don't have anything precious, my most precious thing is my life!"

"Hahaha...... You can trade your life for your child's life!"

"Then doesn't my child have no mother, he will be born with his former mother and stepmother!

"Well, so be it...... You can trade the life of your other child for the life of this child!"

"What the hell, I only have this kid now, and I beat him out. The woman's eyes were red.

"Don't worry, you'll have children in the future! You can exchange a girl's life for his life!"

"Is this okay?" said the woman. I thought: My mother said that it is best not to have a girl for the first child, so it is good to have another boy like this!

"Of course you can! But if you can't help it, you can give the girl's good life to this child!"

"Ah, isn't my girl's life bad!?"

"That's no way, there is a give-and-take!

After saying that, the masked man suddenly disappeared, and the swaddling clothes were also gone.

"Don't go, you make it clear!" cried out the Ring Woman.

"Sister, wake up, what's your name?

When the ring woman opened her eyes, she saw that her sister Xi woman was sitting next to her and pushing her.

"yes, when did you come back?" the woman sat up with joy, and she couldn't think about that strange dream.

"On the spot today, I'm here to catch up. By the way, come back to see my mother and uncle. Sister, why didn't you go to work in the sewing club?"

"Well, don't say it! I'm angry these days!" the woman curled her mouth.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

The woman leaned into Lao Xi's ear and muttered for a while.

"Ah, sister, what? no, you hit the child?" exclaimed.

"You're going to die, it's so big!" the ring woman pinched Lao Xi's arm hard.

"Ouch!" cried out again!

But she immediately lowered her voice: "Sister, you and your brother-in-law are really bold!" she said, giving a thumbs up.

"That's not what I did because I drank wine! As a result, it wasn't me who suffered, not only did I have to suffer the pain, but I also had to be beaten by my mother and scolded by my eldest brother!"

"Okay, okay, sister, it's all over! Don't be angry, don't be angry, then you will lose a lot. You have to rest well, take care of your body, and have a baby in the future! You lie down first, and I'll cook. ”

"Well, Lao Xi, you have a point! I will have many, many babies in the future. ”

"Sister, I brought sour tofu and bean today, which I made myself, but they are fragrant!"

"Uh-huh, well, then we're all blessed today!"

"Hey...... Of course, sister, I'm going to cook!"

"Well, thank you, I'm happy. ”

"It's okay, it's such a big deal to cook!" said Lao Xi, walking out quickly.

The ring woman sighed and shrunk back into the quilt to lie down. At this time, she remembered the dream she had just had.

She wondered why she had been having these strange dreams lately, could it be that she had bumped into something! Or that she had beaten that baby and was abducting, and she was making a mistake!

She wanted to sleep for a while, but she was afraid of having strange dreams. He simply got up, closed the door, and quietly took the black box out of the box. This time, she didn't dare to pry open the copper lock with wire, she was afraid that her sister Lao Xi would see it. Didn't the mother say that this is not an auspicious thing? She didn't want Lao Xi to stick to the slightest bit of bad luck. Lao Xi is her only sister, and there are only two of them left in the family.

"Sister, get up and eat! Mother, they're back!" The woman was holding the black box, turning it over and looking over. I heard Lao Xi calling her outside.

She hurriedly prepared to put the black box into the wooden box, and "pop", the wooden box fell to the ground. The copper lock opened automatically. The ring woman was frightened and quickly squatted down to pick up the black box and copper lock. This time, the copper lock could not be locked.

"Ring girl, open the door, open the door! why haven't you come out to eat?" the mother called outside.

"Mother, you eat first! I'm not hungry now, I don't want to eat. I want to sleep a little longer. ”

"Well, okay, then save the food for you, if you are hungry later, let Lao Xi give you heat!"

"Oh, yes!"

The ring woman estimated that her mother had already left, and she walked around the house with a copper lock, like an ant on a hot pot: What can I do, the copper lock can't be locked, and my mother will kill me if she finds out...... She rolled her eyes, and there she was!
