Chapter 3: Resurrection from the Dead
Who's pressing her breasts? It hurts! It really hurts! Whoever it is, please don't press it! Song Ying wanted to open her mouth to stop this person's evil deeds, but she found that she didn't have that strength with Ben! When I thought about it, I realized that something was wrong! Isn't she dead? Why do you still feel like a pinprick in your head? Before she could think about it, a feeling of nausea welled up in her heart, and out of natural reaction, she quickly opened her mouth to spit out the warm current that had surged into her mouth.
Now she feels much better, and no one presses her stomach anymore, but her hands and feet still can't be used, and her eyelids are heavy. Could it be a dream? I guess I've gone to a strange place again, just like just now.
Song Ying wanted to open her eyes to see where she was, but her mind was uncontrollable, as if she had fallen into a black whirlpool, and she couldn't get up no matter how she struggled, but she could slightly feel that someone was holding her in her arms, and after a while, there were small sobs and small words coming into her mind. This amazed her.
It sounds like a mother, but she's dead! How can you still feel the body temperature of the person holding her? Besides, Mom left when she was very young! Don't want her anymore! Yes, how can it be a mother?
Although she deceived herself like this, she still longed to see her mother again, even if it was one side! Song Ying used all her strength to open her eyes, and what caught her eye was the face of her mother, who had been reading for many years! Is this true? Song Ying, who was slowly regaining consciousness, hurriedly touched the person in front of her with her hand, and the touch from her hand told her that it was true! It's Mom!
Song Ying thought about her tragic experience since her mother left, if her mother was by her side, wouldn't she have been tortured so much? Will you live happily ever after? The more I thought about it, the more I felt aggrieved, and I cried out with a "wow". Xu is body is almost restored, and the more she cries, the louder she becomes, as if she wants to vent all her grievances! She's really bitter in her life! Tired of crying, he sobbed and said vaguely: "Mom, don't leave me, don't leave me alone, I'm so scared, I'm so scared." I'll be very well-behaved and obedient, don't you leave me, okay? Woowoo woo ......"
Li Yuxue looked at her daughter's pitiful appearance, and felt bitter, and secretly blamed Xiaoying for not explaining to her fourth sister-in-law. If she hadn't come back in time, her daughter would have drowned! Usually the two don't know each other, if it weren't for the fact that the sun is too poisonous today, and she doesn't want her daughter to suffer in the field, she won't explain her daughter to that kind of person! Thinking that her baby daughter was almost drowned, Li Yuxue was afraid for a while, shivered fiercely, and even her heart trembled a little, and she hurriedly hugged the villain in her arms and cried loudly. Li Yuxue gently patted her daughter's back, and did not forget to comfort her mouth: "Mom will take the baby with her wherever she goes in the future, and she will never leave the baby again." “
After a while, the emotions of the two were almost cathartic, Li Yuxue raised her hand to wipe her tears, held her daughter in her left hand, and wanted to stand up with a basket of pigweed in her right hand, but she didn't have the strength to try a few times, so she had to put the child down and take it, carry the basket and go home.
Song Ying cried for a while and her head gradually sobered up, and now she was put on the ground before she realized that it was wrong. Looking around, she was stunned. Isn't this Qingshuitan? That night the green dragon came out of it! There's a dragon living inside! Thinking of its frighteningly huge body and hateful face, Song Ying intuitively felt that her hairs stood on end, and she just wanted to get out of here quickly.
Song Ying remembers that the only time she fell into the water was when she was three years old, but it was Shangguan's grandfather who fished him up at that time, how did he become a mother? Now her mind is still a little foggy, she doesn't notice at all, she even remembers the things about her three years old clearly!
Wait a minute! How could she be picked up lightly by her mother! Look at the hand with a broken arm, and it is intact! It's all shrunk, and standing on the ground, she found that the mother next to her was like a giant, which means that either she is too small, or her mother is too tall! Looking at the things around her, it's clear that she's getting smaller! What the hell is going on?
On the way home, Song Ying has been in a fugue state. It's incredible, isn't it dead? Why are you alive again? Or is my mother just like her...... But that's not right! The sun shines so brightly on my body, and I feel warm. The breeze is light, and you can smell the smell of earth. The sky was blue and blue, without a hint of variegation, with the occasional bird passing by. There are some fallen thorns growing beside the muddy path, which is the boundary between the road and the fields. In the distance, the few trees are a little yellow, but the whole is still lush. The hand held by her mother was still slightly painful, and it seemed so real, but Song Ying was very unsteady in her heart! Yes, not down-to-earth!
If this is true, then, is it a dream she had on the side of Qingshuitan that her parents divorced, she was sold, and she died step by step? However, if it is a dream, why is it so real, so helpless, so clear, and so heartbreaking! Now when I think about the pain of the skin, it still hurts, and the body seems to have remembered that pain. The old qiē keeps coming to mind, constantly proving that they have happened! So, what is this qiē in front of you?
Is it like that place on the sea of clouds, a place where you only stay for a while? Or is this what people say about her soul returning to her hometown, and she is just here to fulfill her wish? Probably the latter! After so many years of wandering life, she has developed a cautious temperament, and she decided to face it calmly no matter what, and she will not tell others about these things for the time being, and then observe them! I have to say that this decision has saved her a lot of trouble.
Qingshuitan is about two kilometers southeast of the village, and is the main source of drinking water for Shanhe Village, as well as the irrigation water source for fertile fields within a radius of 100 miles. The two men saw the village in a few moments.
Walking into the village, looking at these old houses, Song Ying almost cried. She has truly returned to her dream hometown, in the form of a child! It is said that when people die, the heavens will give them a period of time to fulfill their wishes, and then retract their footprints and reincarnate with peace of mind. Hey, won't this qiē disappear after fulfilling the wish? No! She doesn't want these to disappear! Not going back. Yes, if you don't go back, you won't be able to fulfill your wish, and this qiē will always be saved!
Thinking of this, Song Ying hurriedly stopped and grabbed her mother. The mother thought that her daughter couldn't walk and wanted her to hug her, but when she saw her daughter's anxious face, she felt that it was not. "Mom, I'm not cold now, can I play for a while and then go home?" Song Ying raised her head and looked at her mother and said. Song's mother didn't understand why the child didn't want to go home, but she felt that it was the same to change her clothes and come out to play, and besides, the child had just been rescued from the water, and she must go home and take some medicine to ward off the cold, otherwise what should she do if she gets sick. "Go home with your mother and change your clothes before you come out to play, good"! Looking at her mother's loving face, Song Ying couldn't bear to refuse, forget it, since she can't refuse, it's better to enjoy the time with her mother, let's go home with my mother first.
The grandparents were sitting in the hall, and the fourth aunt, who had just taken her daughter away from the waterhole and ignored her, also took her daughter to sit on a straw bench.
Song Ying's grandmother Zhao Ying felt strange, her nephew said that her granddaughter went to find her daughter-in-law, but she didn't come back with them, and a three-year-old child could find her mother who didn't know where to go? This nephew is lazy and lazy, and she loves to sow discord, she must have watched her daughter-in-law have a bad relationship with her and used this matter to stir up discord. Originally, I didn't want to say more, but seeing her granddaughter being brought back like a chicken in soup, the old lady finally couldn't bear it anymore, and it was not good to scold her nephew, so she had to attack her daughter-in-law.
"Hey, hey, I can't bring a child well, and it's embarrassing to marry you back, it's only a little too old to make the child like this." Listening to her mother-in-law scolding her like this, although she is used to it, her heart is still slightly throbbing, her daughter is like this, she doesn't care about it, she just came back and scolded indiscriminately, and she usually endured it, but today her daughter almost drowned, and she really couldn't swallow this breath! Today, I really want to explain this matter to the old lady, and fight for my daughter and myself.
"I'll talk about this matter when I help the child change his clothes!" Mom didn't scream anymore, Li Yuxue looked at the fourth sister-in-law sitting by the door and replied to her mother-in-law coldly. didn't say hello to others, Li Yuxue took the child straight to the room to change clothes. Zhao Ying also glanced at her nephew and daughter-in-law as if she didn't seem to be empty, thinking in her heart that she wanted her daughter-in-law to make it clear, wouldn't my granddaughter's sin be in vain if she didn't make it clear?
Listening to Li Yuxue's tone of wanting to make this matter clear, Wang Fengzhi (the fourth sister-in-law) looked left and right with a little weakness, and wanted to hide from this place, but after all, he was a person who had experienced a hundred battles, and his psychological quality was not ordinarily strong. After thinking about it, she didn't do anything hurtful, she just left the little girl there to wait for her mother when she went home, and when the time came, she just had to bite to death and say that the little doll was going to find her mother, and she couldn't stop it, see what these people can do to her? Hum! At this thought, she immediately sat up straight, as if she were the most decent in the world.
The old man was smoking a dry cigarette on the side, the blue smoke rising above his head, slowly shuttling through the crowd, the dark tide among the women was surging, maybe he would never understand. He took a few puffs vigorously until the tobacco burned out, then knocked the cigarette stick to the ground, knocked the ash off, wiped it carefully, put it away and put it in a cloth bag. The old man got up from the straw bench, patted the ashes gently, took the cloth bag and went to see the cows, the sun was also in the west, and it was time to bring it back after a while.
As soon as the old man left, Song Ying changed her clothes and came out, a pair of light grass pants, a thin cyan sweater, and her fleshy little face became more and more tender and fair, like an enamel doll, no girl in this village was as clean and beautiful as her.
Look at Song Ying, and then look at her own girl, black, her face is full of mosquito bites, and her snot is directly rubbed on her cheeks, Wang Fengzhi is even more resentful. Why is he not as good as Li Yuxue in everything? This little wild seed, why didn't you drown her! Her gaze was like a quenched knife, slashing at Song Ying's body at once. The vicious look made Song Ying, who was about to stay out of the matter, feel a chill down her spine.
"Fourth sister-in-law, did you ask you to help me watch Xiaoying when I went to look for pigweed?" Li Yuxue asked first, I really couldn't imagine what she thought at the time, how she would hand over Xiaoying to her.
"Yes, you asked me to help you take care of her, but then she watched you go and insisted on looking for you, and ran away while I didn't pay attention to her, my daughter Xiaoyue was still playing by Qingshuitang, I was afraid that Xiaoyue would fall in, so I let her go, thinking that she should be able to find you, why, you can't see the child yourself and want to push it on me!" Wang Fengzhi said it sonorously, as if this was the case.
Li Yuxue doesn't have that much experience after all, this is the first time she has had an argument with others, and I really believe it in my heart when I hear her say this. However, looking at Wang Fengzhi's smug face, she knew that things were not what she said.
"Fourth sister-in-law, I didn't know that you were raising a child like this, a three-year-old child would find me? Where am I in the field, even an adult like you can't find me, right? To fool me with such words, is it true that I am a three-year-old child? If you didn't have that heart belt, Xiaoying would have fallen into the water? If you hadn't deliberately ignored it, would you have come back before me? Fourth sister-in-law, people still have to do things according to their conscience, even if it is not for yourself, you have to accumulate some virtue for your family Song Yue! Li Yuxue has never had an argument with anyone since she came to this village, and she has understood a lot about this incident. People are good at being bullied, from now on, even for Xiaoying, you have to make yourself strong!
"Li Yuxue, don't say it so ugly, it's my righteousness that I help you take care of the child, don't be ignorant, get your daughter into the water and come here to blame me! Sue sù You and I Wang Fengzhi Although it is not good, my man still has three brothers! You'd better weigh what you say! Wang Fengzhi was also angry, and unconsciously said the threatening words.
"I sue you, it's useless for you to threaten me today! If you don't make this clear, I'll be done with you! I have to get justice for myself and for my daughter! Don't think that the things you do are not seen by anyone, people are doing it! Your Song Yue is the best witness! After speaking, Li Yuxue tried her best to put away her cold gaze and looked at Song Yue who was held in Wang Fengzhi's arms in a friendly manner, "Yueyue, you tell Aunt Sù, where did your sister go when you came back just now?" ”
"My sister is still playing by the waterhole." Song Yue is still young after all, although she vaguely knows that saying this is not good for her mother, but her father taught her that children can't lie, so she told the truth. Wang Fengzhi reacted that it was too late to stop it. But even if you know the truth of the matter, what can you do? Hmph, she looked at Li Yuxue holding the child with disdain, a woman without a man, what are you fighting with me? But she forgot that Li Yuxue also has a strong mother-in-law.
"Wang Fengzhi, you little slut, you almost killed my baby granddaughter, and you came here to chew right and wrong, today I have to tell your father-in-law about this, see how he cleans you up!" Wang Fengzhi's father-in-law is the eldest brother of Song Ying's grandfather, this person has an excellent face and a reputation, and he can't allow others to destroy his reputation, let alone his own family to do things that damage his reputation. For this reason, Wang Fengzhi was punished by her father-in-law, who told her to cause trouble all day long.
"Oh, auntie, I guess she was squatting at the water's edge and covered by the grass, I didn't see it. You have a lot, forgive me for my mistakes. My man is still waiting for me to cook, so I'll go first. After speaking, he ignored the two cold eyes, and cheekily hugged the child and patted his buttocks and left.
"Hurry up, don't come to our house again, you won't be able to eat!" What is going on?" Grandma Zhao scolded in the back, and the old voice was mixed with a little helplessness. People say that raising children to prevent old age, but what about the sons they raise? Hey, I wish I had never given birth to him!
"As far as your place is, it's not uncommon for me to come here!" After a while, Wang Fengzhi's words came from next door. With such a superb neighbor, Song Ying's family is also unlucky.
"What do you see, why don't you hurry up and cook, do you want to starve my mother?" Grandma Zhao snatched the child and attacked Li Yuxue.
Li Yuxue obediently went to cook, and for this unreasonable mother-in-law, she really had nothing to do with her, so she had to be obedient. Although her mother-in-law was mean to her, she was very good to her granddaughter, and in this backward village, she did not despise her because she was a girl, and she would be given anything delicious and fun. If it weren't for this, Li Yuxue would have left with her daughter. Hey, I don't want to, let's hurry up and cook.
This poor family is almost unable to get any decent food, and it is corn as rice, only with a red bean soup. Eating such food, Song Ying felt very satisfied. Finally, I don't have to pick up people's teeth, I finally don't have to eat with my stomach open, and it feels good to have a full meal. She almost finished this meal excitedly, and did not put down the bowl until her stomach was round.
There is a custom in this small mountain village that dinner is eaten earlier than elsewhere, and as soon as the sun sets, everyone starts to go home for dinner. Elsewhere there would be people working until dark, but this village has followed the custom of not working at night for some generations, and has called it a day early to go home.
The biggest beneficiary of this custom is the children, who have time to play as soon as dinner is over. The village is already small, and there are not many children in a dozen or so families, so everyone will gather at the abandoned fence in the middle of the village as soon as they finish eating.
