Li Kangjian's son, Li Xiping, died.

It was hot, so he and the village children secretly ran into the river to swim and drowned. The child is only eight years old, and he looks like a tiger, unlike his honest and honest father, he has a very sweet mouth and is very likable. When he was scooped up, his body was soaked beyond recognition.

Li Kangjian has only one child, his wife Sun Xing had a difficult birth when she gave birth to Li Xiping, and was sent to the county to have a knife, and the doctor told Li Kangjian at the time that it would be difficult for his wife to get pregnant again in the future. Lijia Village is remote and isolated, family planning is not strictly enforced, and many families in the village have more than one child. The people in the village favor sons over daughters, and those who give birth to a daughter in the first child and the second child have to give birth to a son no matter what.

Although Sun Xing had a difficult birth and injured her body, she gave birth to a son in her first child, many people said that she had a good life, Li Xiping was smart and sensible since she was a child, so even if they only had one child in the family, Sun Xing's waist was straight.

I didn't know that the child was raised to the age of eight or nine, and she was not sick or painful, and in the morning she asked her to buy popsicles with pocket money, saying that it would be gone, and Sun Xing's sky would collapse all of a sudden.

The children who went swimming with Li Xiping came back and said that he was washed away by the water, and she was still lucky, looking forward to her son Jiren's natural appearance, maybe he would be rescued by a good person. When she really saw her son's deformed body, Sun Xing's eyes turned black and she was unconscious. I was brought home and lay in bed for several days without getting a drop of water.

Li Xiping died both early and unexpectedly, and according to local customs, he could neither do white things nor enter the ancestral grave. In the past, there were such children who died early in the village, and they were directly dug a pit in their own fields and buried, and if the conditions were better, they would get a small coffin for the child, and if the conditions were not good, they would just take a broken mat and wrap it and bury it, and there was not even a tombstone.

In mid-August, this year's weather was unusually hot, and Li Xiping's body had already been damaged by blisters, and he left it at home for three or four days, and the smell was getting bigger and bigger day by day, and a puddle of yellow water accumulated under the thin coffin, and the smell was stinking. It is said that she should have been buried in the soil a long time ago, but Sun Xing did not agree, who wanted to go a little closer to Li Xiping's small coffin, she would go up to find someone desperately.

"Big brother, sister-in-law can't go on like this, you better hurry up and get an idea, let Pingping be in the ground." The brothers lived in a yard, door to door, and the smell drilled into his house, frightening the two of them, crying all day long, he sent his wife and children to his mother-in-law's house early this morning, and was counted down by his mother-in-law, so that he came back to persuade his brother and sister-in-law, and sent Li Xiping out as much as possible.

Since his son died, Li Kangjian, who was already honest and silent, has become dull, with a sad face, and the whole person seems to be more than ten years old. Li Kangwei's saliva was dry, and he just said 'oh', but he didn't listen to it at first glance.

Li Kangwei finally suppressed the anger in his heart, walked outside the courtyard with a black face, slipped to the shade of a tree on the side of the road, sat on the ground, took a large front door from the crumpled cigarette case and lit it, swallowing clouds and spitting out fog.

In the afternoon, it was hot, everyone hid at home to blow the fan, and there was no one on the only gravel road in the village for half a day.

Li Kangwei smoked three cigarettes in a row, only to see a motorcycle coming at the end of the road, the motorcycle stopped at the foot of the mountain not far away, Li Kangwei squinted his eyes to see the person who got off the motorcycle, suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he walked over quickly.

Lao Li Tou just came back from the town, probably when the old locust tree was burned that day, the grandmother was smoked by the smoke, and the cough was not only not good, but also stricter than before, and in the last few days, she had a headache and dizziness. asked her to go to the hospital in the county town, she was afraid of spending money and refused, so Lao Li Tou had to go to the town to buy her some anti-inflammatory cough medicine, and also went to an old Chinese medicine doctor to prescribe some Chinese medicine for her.

The people in the village now treat their family as if they were plagues, and they quickly avoided them from a distance, and they couldn't find anyone to help him bring things back from the town, and after Li Kangjian came to the door and said so much, Old Li Tou was embarrassed to look for him again and took his motorcycle to the town.

Lijia Village is very far away from the town, and Lao Li Tou set off from his home at 5 o'clock this morning with a flashlight, although he met several 'motorcycles' who specialize in riding motorcycles to the town, but others refused to take him when they saw that it was him. Lao Li Tou walked and stopped all the way, and did not walk to the town until after eleven o'clock in the afternoon.

The story of the winter cub is not only spread in Lijia Village, but also in several villages next to it, and even people in the town have heard about it. Fortunately, in Xile Town, no one knew Lao Li Tou, and the residents of the town were not as superstitious as the residents of the village, so they didn't take these rumors too seriously. Lao Li Tou is not, as if he is in the village, no one even sells him a bag of salt or a knife of toilet paper.

It was not easy to go to the town, so Lao Li Tou bought some rice and flour seasonings in the town, cut a few catties of pork lard, bought some daily necessities, and bought a few picture books for the winter cub, two catties of chicken cakes and a little snack.

The mess was full of baskets, and Lao Li got off the motorcycle with difficulty, paid, limped, and walked slowly up the mountain.

"Uncle Gui, Uncle Gui!" Li Kangwei shouted twice from afar, stepped forward quickly, barely pulled out a smile, and greeted: "Uncle, what's wrong with your feet?" ”

Old Li Tou looked at Li Kangwei in surprise, and couldn't understand why this cheap nephew, who had always been not as kind as his brother, didn't even plant their fields, and didn't come to the door to say a word, suddenly accosted him today.

The taste of being isolated by the whole village was uncomfortable, and suddenly someone greeted him, Lao Li Tou felt a little relieved, and there was a two-point smile on his face, "A few days ago, I turned over the house, accidentally fell off the ladder, and fell. ”

Fortunately, I didn't hurt my bones, but I sprained my ankle and my ankle was red and swollen.

Li Kangwei said with little sincerity, "So that's the case, fortunately, nothing happened, people are old and their bones are brittle, you and your aunt usually pay more attention." ”

Lao Li nodded and said, "Who said it wasn't." Kang Wei, if you are okay, I will go back first, your aunt is still waiting at home for me to take the medicine and go back to boil it for her. ”

Li Kangwei hurriedly said: "Uncle Gui, don't be busy first." I've got something to do with you. Ping Ping is drowning, have you heard? ”

Since Lao Li Tou broke his foot, he has been staying at home since he broke his foot, and he has been staying at home, until he is a little better today, and then he went down the mountain to the town, and he really doesn't know about it.

"Pingping, do you mean your brother's Xiping?" Lao Li's eyes widened, "Okay, how could this happen?" ”

Li Kangwei said with a bitter face: "It's not! Children are naughty, no one thought of it. This ghost weather, my eldest brother and sister-in-law put Pingping at home and tasted it, it's not okay to keep going like this, my eldest brother has always listened to your words the most, uncle, you just go with me to persuade him. ”

Lao Li Tou was a little confused by the sudden news, although he didn't watch Li Xiping grow up, but every year Li Kangjian asked people to bring him rice and oil to the county seat, and he would bring something back for the children. The kid had a sweet mouth and didn't recognize life, and every time he saw him, he would call him crisply......

Old Li Tou couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, and when he came back to his senses, he had already nodded and agreed to Li Kangwei, "...... You go back first, I'll carry my things home and come." ”

Li Kangwei was afraid that he would regret it, so he said, "Uncle Gui, I'll wait for you here, and we'll go over together." ”

Lao Li thought for a while and said, "Your aunt has been very sick recently, I have to go back and make dinner for her and the winter cub first, why don't you also go to our house and sit down, eat dinner and then go back?" ”

Lao Li Tou bought a lot of good things in his back basket, if it was in the past, he would definitely be willing to do it, but now...... That day, he personally slashed the ghost tree, and saw with his own eyes something like blood flowing out of the tree, even if he borrowed a hundred guts, he would not dare to go to such an evil place again.

"I still don't go up, my eldest brother and sister-in-law stay at home, I'm afraid that something will happen to them, I have to go back to accompany them. Then you can just say okay, uncle, you must come over in a while. ”

Li Kangwei can talk more than his eldest brother, and after a few words, he doesn't give Lao Li Tou room to refuse.

Old Li Tou actually regretted it a little when he nodded just now, in the past, he was still a little sure of persuading Li Kangjian, but now......

After all, Li Kangjian has called him uncle for so many years, and it is good to be able to contribute.

Of course, Lao Li Tou has a more secret plan in his heart - he and his wife are not as good as a year after year, I am afraid that there will be a few years to live, and he is not at ease when he hands over the winter cub to others. Sun Xing's dystocia back then, he knew, he was already working in the county people's hospital at that time, and he helped find the doctor who operated on Sun Xing, so Sun Xing couldn't conceive a child anymore, he knew better than anyone else.

Li Kangjian is a rare honest and honest person in the village, if ......

Lao Li Tou returned home to calm down, thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a door, and his heart suddenly felt like grass. After dinner, when the grandmother drank the Chinese medicine, he hurriedly went down the mountain with a flashlight and stepped on the night.

The winter cub didn't have a story to listen to today, and he was a little unhappy, so his grandmother was cleaning up in the kitchen, and he sat next to the candle with a picture book and slowly flipped through it.

The winter cub liked the colorful patterns on the book, and before he knew it, he was fascinated, and his big lifeless eyes seemed to be brighter than usual.

"Bang la la......" "Bang ......"

There were two loud noises on his side, and the winter cub raised his head blankly and looked at the source of the sound, and the grandmother had fallen to the ground, unconscious.
