Text Chapter 265 The Past of Red Dust
The little Taoist priest felt that there was another change in front of him, and he found himself in a simple courtyard. And he was no longer himself, he became a four-year-old boy.
"Qing'er, come in and eat!" a woman's voice came from the living room.
The little Taoist priest felt a pain in his heart, and found that this voice was so familiar. This is...... Is this the mother? The little Taoist priest's heart was beating wildly. Hurriedly ran into the hall, only to see a woman carrying a one-year-old baby on her back and placing two dishes on the table. And an old man in his fifties, smoking a dry cigarette, was reading a chess game at the table.
The little Taoist priest immediately recognized the old man, and between the old man's eyebrows and eyes, it was the appearance of the grandfather. So, the woman is the mother?
To tell the truth, the little Taoist priest no longer recognized his mother's appearance. Because I heard my grandfather say that when I was four years old, my mother and father died of the epidemic. He looked at the woman, who was twenty-five or sixteen years old, and her appearance was not very outstanding, but Zhou Zheng was virtuous.
One of the dishes on the table is green vegetables and the other is tofu. Apparently a poor man's meal.
"Grandpa, mother!" the little Taoist priest choked.
"Qing'er, what's wrong?" the woman saw that the little Taoist priest was crying, took out a clean handkerchief, wiped his eyes for him, and said lovingly, "Did you fall while playing in the yard?"
"What are you crying for?" Grandpa glanced at him, "Men don't flick when they have tears, they will fall if they fall, and they will grow up if they fall!"
"I want to see my brother!" said the little Taoist.
"Jing Ai said stupid things, this is a sister, not a brother!" the woman sighed, thinking that her son had fallen stupidly.
"I know, but she's so powerful that she cries louder than a tiger girl!" said the little Taoist priest. He doesn't remember that he has a sister, it turns out that he still has relatives, but he doesn't know where his sister is now, but she is still alive?
"Such a child is easy to feed!" said the grandfather, "You used to be sick, and when you cry lighter than a cat walks!"
"Grandpa, mother, I'm hungry, I want to eat five bowls of rice!" said the little Taoist, "I'm a man." ”
"Eat five bowls of rice?" Grandpa gave him a blank look, "According to your way of eating, within a month, your father's food will be empty by you." ”
What do you mean, isn't my father a farmer, how can there be a Yulu?
"Father, as soon as Qing'er said it, he usually has half a bowl of rice, how can he eat so much?" the woman said.
"Guizhi, you don't know, children must be educated from an early age, they must be honest, and it is not right for him to talk nonsense. Grandpa put the game down.
"Yes, my father is right," the woman nodded, and said to the little Taoist, "Qing'er, we must be solid, not frivolous!"
"Yes, Qing'er knows!" the little Taoist priest nodded. At the same time, I had mixed feelings, and I didn't expect to see my mother and grandfather here. Especially my mother, I don't have any impression until now, it's not that she calls herself, and she doesn't know that she is her mother.
"Mother, I want to see my sister!" said the little Taoist.
"Well, Mother will put her down, and wait a minute, and you will hold her, and Mother will help you to serve the meal." The mother untied the carrier, lowered the baby from her back, and handed her over to the little priest.
"Mother, I don't think my sister is like me at all!" the little Taoist priest frowned. This sister is beautiful and has a small red mole under her left ear.
"Of course it's not like you, she was picked up by her grandfather at the door a month ago," said grandpa, "although you are not related by blood, remember, you must love each other." ”
What, she's not her own sister?" the little Taoist priest scratched his head. However, I thought, why didn't I have a little impression, where did she go later?
When the little Taoist priest ate, he felt that it was very fragrant. However, after only a few bites, my sister also woke up, and she smelled the smell of rice.
"Caicai, Caicai!" she pointed to the tofu in the little Taoist bowl.
The little Taoist priest used chopsticks to open the tofu and bring it to her mouth. The little guy is like a squirrel, holding his chopsticks with both hands, afraid that he won't eat them.
The little guy who ate the tofu raised his little head, looked at the beams of the roof, and laughed silly, as if this was her greatest satisfaction.
"Xiaoxian, come, let's drink egg porridge!" the mother took out a bowl of porridge from it and said to the little one.
The little one was already able to walk, and when he saw his mother, he became excited, raised his hands to shoulder height, spread his wings, coordinated his balance, and staggered towards his mother.
This scene made the little Taoist's eyes moist, he hadn't experienced such family affection for a long time. Even if my grandfather scolds me, it's a luxury, not to mention that I saw my mother and a sister today. He hoped that this moment would never disappear, and that time would stop at this moment.
"Brother, fool, brother, there is no porridge!" The little guy drank the porridge and pointed to the little Taoist, very proud.
"Xiaoqing, hurry up and eat, wait a game of chess with grandpa!" grandpa knocked on the table on the side and said to the little Taoist priest who was in a daze.
"Hmm!" the little Taoist priest poured some soup and ate the rice in three or five bites.
"Xianxian, chess!" The little guy craned his neck when he heard the chess, and said curiously.
This month, she loves to make trouble, but she finally distinguishes between black and white chess pieces. Therefore, when she was playing chess, she occupied the two chess boxes. Whoever wants a chess piece has to go through her, and when grandpa eats a big dragon from her brother, or when her brother eats a few pieces from grandpa, she is the happiest, and returns those chess pieces that have been eaten back to the chess box.
However, playing chess is quite exhausting, and in less than half an hour, the little one will fall asleep on the mat. At this time, her mother, who had packed her things, would carry her back to her room and go to sleep.
"Xiaoqing, are you afraid of the dark?" asked Grandpa.
"No, I'm not afraid!" said the little Taoist. The children in the countryside are used to staying at night and are not very afraid of the dark.
"Okay, when it's time to be a child, let's go to the mountains to catch frogs!" said Grandpa.
"Okay," the little Taoist priest nodded, "Mother's body is too weak, and it should be mended." ”
"You're such a good boy, you go to the back room and sleep for a while, and I'll call you then!" said Grandpa.
Now, the memory in the little Taoist's brain has slowly recovered. Originally, he had no memory before the age of five. Now, something that has been dusty for a long time, suddenly opens the floodgates. Yes, I remembered that when I was a child, I liked to play chess with my grandfather, and it seemed that there was always a loving woman by my side, and that woman turned out to be my mother.
However, he also remembered that his mother's surname was also Zhang, so in this way, his grandfather was not actually a grandfather, but probably his maternal grandfather. But where did my mother go, and who was my father?
When they arrived, the grandfather woke up the little Taoist, and the two of them took two lanterns and walked up the mountain. It's summer, but there's no moon in the sky. They had walked five or six miles, through a mountain stream, and they came to a cave. This cave is the favorite place for mountain frogs, which is not only shady, but also has more mosquitoes, and is a good place for mountain frogs to pounce.
The little Taoist priest followed his grandfather, and in less than half an hour, he pounced on seven or eight mountain frogs the size of a bowl. The little Taoist priest was holding a cloth bag and carrying a mountain frog weighing five or six kilograms, and his center of gravity was a little unstable. The frog is really strange, as long as you shine a lantern on it, it won't jump around, it won't move, let grandpa pounce on it with a net.
has been busy for more than an hour, the little Taoist priest is sleepy and tired, and there are already more than a dozen mountain frogs in the bag. The little Taoist priest was only four years old, and he worked hard to carry a bag of nearly ten catties, so he sat on a clean big bluestone in the cave. Soon he fell into a deep sleep.
In the haze, the little Taoist priest saw his grandfather come back and put a mountain frog in a bag. In the dark, Grandpa looked at the little Taoist, and when he saw him sleeping, he shook his head, turned into a huge python head, and swallowed it to the little Taoist. However, when there was still half a meter left, the python suddenly stopped, but its face was painful. With a long roar from the sky, Grandpa's body also turned into a python body and rushed out of the cave.
The little Taoist priest was frightened into a cold sweat, but it was like a ghost pressing down, his consciousness was clear, but he couldn't get up. Soon he fell back into a deep sleep. It wasn't until early in the morning that the little Taoist priest woke up. When he woke up, he found himself back at home, lying in bed.
Could it be that the previous one was just a dream? The little Taoist priest hurriedly got up from the bed and heard that the courtyard was crowded with people. They were all from the village, and when they saw the little Taoist priest coming out, they stopped talking.
"Xiaoqing, are you awake?" said to Grandpa lovingly, "Your mother and sister went to the capital to look for your father, and as soon as they settled down, they came to pick us up and take us to the capital." ”
"What, mother and sister are gone?" the little Taoist priest looked shocked. It seems that there is indeed this familiar scene in his sleeping memory, but after that, he has never seen his mother and sister again.
"Well, that's good," the third grandfather next door said with a smile, "Your father is a powerful man, and when you come to the capital in the future, don't disown us poor folks." ”
The group said a few words and left. A few women who were good friends with their mothers glanced at the little Taoist priest and sighed. The little Taoist priest carefully noticed that their eyes seemed to be red from crying.
In the evening, Grandpa got drunk, drunk and unconscious. And I cried, crying in my dreams, and it was very painful.
The little Taoist priest took a kitchen knife from the kitchen and walked to his grandfather's room. Because during the day, he saw a large hole in the fence of the yard the size of a bucket. And there is a large area of vegetable patches that has been pulled out of a long way by a behemoth.
Needless to say, it must have been the giant python who came home, and who changed the giant python? That is, it was the grandfather who killed the mother and sister. Most likely, they were devoured. So, he told a lie to the villagers and himself. said that his mother and sister went to the capital to find his father. And maybe, my father was also poisoned by him a long time ago. Only by killing my grandfather can I avenge my mother, sister, and father! Otherwise, I will follow in the footsteps of my mother and sister.
The little Taoist priest raised the kitchen knife and walked towards his grandfather. Grandpa was younger than he remembered, and he was so drunk that he would die if he stabbed him in the neck or twice by himself.
Today's little Taoist priest is the soul of an adult, the body of a four-year-old. I just met my mother and sister yesterday, but I lost them in less than a day. Everything is the reason for this old man. Everything he showed later was fake, and if Master hadn't taken him away, maybe he would have become food in his belly. He's just a monster with no humanity......
However, why can't he do it? The little Taoist priest didn't cut it down, and he didn't know if the trajectory of his life would change after he cut it down. However, the grandfather in my memory is a kind grandfather, and he can do everything for himself...... In addition to helping himself marry the tiger girl's family, he has not hurt himself.
With a "dang" sound, the kitchen knife fell to the ground, and the little Taoist sat down on the ground, shocked into a cold sweat.
And just when he sat on the ground, a man in black appeared, he glanced at the little Taoist, stunned him with one finger, and probed the little Taoist's brain with his hand. After a few breaths, the man in black withdrew his hand and said to himself, "The demon girl is dead, it's ironic, she died at the hands of one of her old servants." ”
As he spoke, he stopped looking at the little Taoist priest and his grandfather, and fled out of the house in a flash.
It was at this time that the little Taoist priest woke up from his childhood......
