Mu Hongmei thought that as soon as she died, she would be able to leave behind all the pain she was suffering, but after she lost all consciousness, or after losing consciousness for a long time, she felt a headache.

It hurts, like someone knocked a hole in the head, and it hurts so much.

Especially the sound in her ears vaguely revealed a little familiar child's cry, which made Mu Hongmei's heart ache together as if she was entangled by something.

Why can't you even be quiet when you die, and you still have to accept these tosses?

Mu Hongmei's throat is bitter. I vaguely understand that this is not what I know about how I will feel after death.

It is said that mourning is greater than the death of the heart, but if the two are combined, how can it be compared?

If she was only broken when she was betrayed by her husband, then in the face of the accusations and contempt of her only biological daughter who disliked, disgusted and did not understand her, her heart, after feeling the grief and despair, had been shattered into powder and died.

But this body that should have died, and the heart that had already died, would have hurt when they heard the heart-rending cries of the children.

She didn't want to pay attention to the 'pain' that pierced her heart, so she ignored all her feelings, but in the dark, when she heard the familiar cry of a young child, she wanted to see who this child who had been crying in her ear was.

But the heaviness transmitted from every pore in her body, and the chaos of thoughts in her head, made her unable to remember who this crying child was.

It just felt, very familiar, very familiar, and it made her very reluctant.

Who is it? made a person like her, who couldn't even live and couldn't love, was reluctant to listen to his cry.

When Mu Hongmei tried hard to open her eyes and see who the crying child next to her voice was, she couldn't do so, and tried her best, only to get her eyelids in a constant cycle of shaking and shaking.

Time seemed to have passed for a long time, maybe it was only a moment, but with Mu Hongmei's unremitting efforts, except for the anxious and frightened cry of a child in her ears, her eyes still did not open a gap that only saw a glimmer of image or light

"Crunch~"

One of the two old wooden doors was pushed open from the outside, and a middle-aged man with a dirty face walked inside.

He walked a few steps to the middle of the house, and picked up the toddler who was crawling beside a little girl of four or five years old and crying.

"Funeral! Cry! Cry to Lao Tzu again, Lao Tzu just kicked you to death with two feet, and buried you and your useless mother in a pit to save trouble. MD, I can't do, and it's expensive to raise it. ”

When the man's angry scolding sounded, the little girl who had been lying on the ground, no matter how the young child cried and swayed, except for the shaking of her eyelids, the index finger of her thin and stiff right hand, which was like a dead corpse, suddenly trembled.

When the man finished roaring angrily, and slapped a few times on the buttocks of the young boy who was like a little chicken in his hands, the five fingers of the little girl's hand, which was as thin as a chicken's paw, shook a few more times.

Her little head, which was leaning crookedly against the dirt floor, also moved imperceptibly at this time, and then, a pair of eyelids that had been shaking for a long time but could not open, at this moment, Wei Wei opened a slit.

"Little brother?"

A faint, dry, somewhat hoarse voice came from the little girl's mouth.

It's just that her little brother screamed too hard, too distressed, and too confused.

Because this little girl, her nickname is Xiao Hongmei, and her name is Mu Hongmei.

She clearly remembered that she jumped into the reservoir where her mother drowned and died.

But when she opened her eyes at this time, she saw her younger brother who was still a one- or two-year-old child at first sight, how could she not doubt it, how could she not be surprised.

After all, when she ran into the reservoir, she was already a 46-year-old yellow-faced woman who was disliked by men, and her only brother was obviously only more than three years younger than her.

Although there are no photos for reference, more than 40 years have passed, so that Mu Hongmei no longer remembers her brother's childhood appearance, but when she felt that the little boy was beaten, she tried to open her eyes, and saw the child in front of her who was as thin as a little wild monkey, Mu Hongmei only intuitively decided that this little guy was her only younger brother.

But intellectually, she felt that this was impossible, her younger brother was already a father of two children, and he should be 42 years old this year, how could he become a one- or two-year-old child?

According to those in the village who have read the book, it should be said that this is really ridiculous.

But the roar that belonged to her father, which she could not forget for decades just now, made her believe a little that everything she saw and felt was true.

I cried so much just now that my heart hurts, and the child who wants to take a look at it is my only brother.

The roar that gave him the strength to open his eyes came from his father, who was most feared in childhood and most helpless in adulthood.

Could it be that this is also an illusion after returning to the light?

Mu Hongmei clearly remembered that she jumped into the reservoir, was choked by the water and was about to suffocate, and clearly felt that at the moment of death, she saw her mother smiling at herself, smelled her mother's smell, threw herself into her mother's arms, and finally saw the boy she had promised that as soon as she earned money, she would come back to marry her own boy.

When Mu Hongmei analyzed her complicated thoughts, the little boy about a year old who had been crying all the time and was hoarse from crying was not only beaten and scared, but also stopped.

But when the little boy was thrown to the ground like a sandbag by the man, he immediately burst into a heart-rending cry.

"Ahh

The little boy who was thrown to the ground by the man looked to be more than a year old, but he couldn't speak, only babbling and crying sadly.

This cry made Mu Hongmei's heart ache for a while.

"Don't cry, little brother."

Whether it was a hallucination or not, when Mu Hongmei cried after her younger brother was treated so cruelly by her father, she clearly felt a burst of pain in her heart, and instinctively comforted her as she did back then.

It's just that her throat is dry and hoarse, her heart is too painful and bitter, and her whole body is weak, although a pair of round black and bright eyes are completely open, and she can see a small part of the scene in the room, but the sound is really not loud.

However, her originally small voice, listening to the ears of the fierce and sloppy man, made the man who was anxious and scared and poured his anger on the little boy relieved.

"TMD, dead girl, if you don't learn, you dare to learn to pretend to be dead to scare Lao Tzu, see if Lao Tzu doesn't kick you to death."

The man scolded, lifting his foot and making a gesture to kick the little girl lying on the ground, but in the end, he still withdrew his foot and did not really kick.

Just looked at the little girl flowing out of her forehead, the bloody scabs on her face and shins, and examined the little girl's injuries in her heart, whether they were fatal.

After all, although he is muddy and uneducated, he also knows that killing people is to eat guns.

Even if it was his own daughter who was killed by mistake, the police would not care about it.

Mu Hongmei had already seen all the man's actions, but at this time, she didn't care about the man, she just tried to crawl towards the little brother who was thrown on the ground like a sandbag.

Even if it was just an illusion, she wanted to do everything she could to protect the only brother her mother had left her.

Even if the little brother who has worked hard to raise an adult, after being the son-in-law of someone else's house, he rarely goes home to see his only sister, and rarely contacts him.

But he is finally the only person who can't let go of his nostalgia at this time.

As for the side, the man named Mu Zhengfang, his father, Mu Hongmei may have a complicated mood when she thinks of him who died early.

Among them, there are resentments, blame, hatred, and maybe some regrets that I don't want to admit, but at this time, I don't want to take a second look except to determine his identity and the general environment he is in.

"Little brother, don't cry, you have a sister here. Isn't it painful, don't be afraid, my sister will give you a snort" Mu Hongmei finally crawled in front of her little brother, just like back then, she stretched out her hand to wipe the tears from his little face for him, and comforted him softly with pity.

And Mu Zhengfang, at this time, when he saw Mu Hongmei who climbed in front of his youngest son and hugged his youngest son and screamed, his heart was finally completely relieved.

It's good that you don't die.

"Little money-loser, raising you so big, you can't count on what you want to eat, and you almost hurt Lao Tzu!" Mu Zhengfang glared at his sister and brother, then scolded and walked into the house, preparing to go back to the house to sleep.

Mu Zhengfang drank a few more glasses in the morning, thinking of the tenth day of the first lunar month, when his crazy woman Li Guozhen who drowned in the reservoir was buried, the Li family's troubles, he was angry in his heart, and he happened to see Mu Hongmei, who was seven or eight points long with Li Guozhen, entering the door with washing water and asking him to wash his face and eat.

Who would have thought, Mu Zhengfang didn't take it seriously on weekdays, he drank too much wine and had a fire in his heart, and this kick was full of strength.

Mu Hongmei, who was only six months old this year, was kicked by him and hit the corner of the cabinet next to the wall, and fainted at that time, motionless, hitting Daokouzi's forehead, but the blood kept flowing.

Seeing that the blood quickly flowed a lot, but her daughter didn't snort, and Mu Zhengfang's wine woke up half of it.

Later, seeing that Mu Hongmei was still lying motionless on the ground for several minutes, but there was more and more blood on the ground, he was also startled in his heart, and pushed back and forth with his foot a few times, Mu Hongmei still didn't move, Mu Zhengfang thought that he had killed his daughter by mistake.

Murder is to pay for life, this bit of legal knowledge, he also knows, and after his mother-in-law drowned and died, he was taken by the police for questioning, and a lot of legal knowledge was popularized.

At that time, he was also scared to wake up, and after regretting it for a while, his first reaction was to run out of the house, and then ran more than ten miles of mountain roads and hid in the mountains.

After feeling a little safe, he always had the feeling of being unspeakable, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he felt that he should go home again to clarify the situation.

If my daughter didn't die, it would be the best, at most I would have to buy some medicine bags to cover the wounds.

But if he was really killed by his own mistake, then he had to find a place to bury it, and then he would bite and say that he didn't know, making people think that the dead girl might have been abducted.

In this way, whether it is the old man who is the most nosy neighbor captain or the police from the police station, as long as there is no evidence, he cannot arrest himself.

After spending most of the day on the mountain, and finally had such a plan, Mu Zhengfang spent more than two hours before the sun set before he ran back from the deep mountain.

Before he entered the gate, he heard the cry of his youngest son, who was more than two years old but could not speak, and he was nervous and angry.

Crying so loudly, isn't this recruiting people, pit daddy!

So as soon as he opened the door of the hall that was locked when he ran, and mentioned his little son, who was hungry and frightened by his sister's appearance, he couldn't stop crying, and he beat him on the buttocks, and he was still angry, and threw the frightened little son to the ground.

Subsequently, Mu Zhengfang was pleasantly surprised to find that most of the eldest daughter who thought that he was not saved was not dead, and his mood relaxed, and he also felt the fatigue of this day.

Although in addition to being tired, his stomach was also hungry, but seeing that the eldest daughter could crawl to the younger son, he also knew that he couldn't count on her to cook for himself, so he had to scold a few times to relieve his anger, and he was ready to go back to the house to make up for sleep and rest.

After all, on weekdays, in addition to the evening, he also has to take a few hours of nap at noon every day like people in the city to recuperate.

"Mu Zhengfang! You're going to go against the sky, aren't you?

Do you still have a royal law, and it is also a crime to beat a doll, it has only been a few days, and the legal knowledge that the police have popularized for you, have you forgotten it into the dog's belly?

Hongmei, you Mu Zhengfang, you are still not human! ”

Before Mu Zhengfang could lie down on the bed in the house with only a straw curtain, there was an old roar and questioning voice in the courtyard.

As this roar approached, an old man about 175 years old, with a little bow on his back, but his spirit seemed to be very solid, also walked to the door of Mu Zhengfang's house, which looked a little dilapidated.

Mu Hongmei, who was comforting her younger brother, looked up in disbelief when she first heard this roar that was full of qi but made her unforgettable.

"Grandpa Captain"

Mu Hongmei's tears flowed, she hadn't dreamed of this old man who helped her teach her as a child, and she almost forgot his appearance.

But at this time, he actually appeared in his hallucination, which reminded Mu Hongmei of a lot of decades ago.

It was he who taught me as a child to be optimistic and strong.

He said: "Hongmei, there is no obstacle in this world that cannot be overcome. Every time he said this, it was basically when he brought food to his family.

It was he who taught himself as a child, the farm work in the field, what season, what to plant, and how to plant.

In addition to farm work, I also taught myself some simple and commonly used and very important words, and taught myself many livelihood skills such as settling accounts and selling things.

It can be said that he taught himself how to survive with a child's hands and labor without the help of his parents and relatives.

In my heart, I have always regarded him as a father, and my son is not sensible, and he asked innocently: "Captain, can I call you a father?" ”

But after being silent for a long time, he shook his head and said, "Alas, girl, your grandfather and I are also year-olds, but he went earlier than me, so you will treat me as your grandfather in the future." ”

So, after that, I kept calling him "Grandpa Captain".

Mu Hongmei just looked at the real father in her mind blankly, and approached her step by step, and finally, when she thought that he would suddenly pick herself up as in a clear memory, he suddenly yelled angrily, turned around and ran back.

He ran into the courtyard, grabbed a piece of dry wood from the courtyard, turned around and rushed into her house, and in her consternation, he passed over her and rushed to the only room she remembered where her family of four could sleep.

"Mu Zhengfang! You get out of here, with you so unconscionable, wow, your mother-in-law has only been forced to die by you for a few days, what do you want to do?"

"Oops! Call you Uncle Shengkong, you really take it seriously

Hey, Lao Tzu told you not to think that you are the captain, Lao Tzu is afraid of you.

Fight again, oh yo, Lao Tzu really fought back, oops."

Mu Hongmei finally discovered that something was wrong this time, and it was also the first time that she had doubts about these hallucinations that appeared before her death.

She wrung it in her face, and her face hurt.

looked at the little brother snuggled in his arms, his small body was very warm. Moreover, there are bursts of urine and the smell of feces coming from the little brother.

Looking around, this is a little vague in memory, but at this time, the layout and furnishings of the old house clearly appeared in front of me.

What's going on here?

Mu Hongmei is stupid, she has no culture, but at this time, she feels that what she can only see in TV series and movies seems to have happened to her.

Aren't these visions that appear when you are about to die, but?

In fact, she is dead, but her soul has traveled through time and space, back to the past, decades ago?

On that day, Mu Hongmei was taken to the hospital by the captain of the production team named Kong Mingzhong to bandage the wound on her forehead, and after the old captain took her and her younger brother Mu Hongbing to sleep at home for one night, Mu Hongmei, who woke up, finally figured out one thing with great certainty.

She did cross over.

In other words, she should be regarded as the kind played in TV movies, reborn.

He was reborn on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month in 1988, and this day was also the seventh day after his mother drowned and was buried.

"If you can't die, then you can live."

Led his younger brother back to his house and even the courtyard wall was half crossed, the road was a little crooked, and it couldn't fall, but it was attached to the door of the brand new white mourning couplet, Mu Hongmei muttered this sentence softly.

Although she had no love at the time of suicide, at this time, she had a reason to live.

She has to raise her little brother to adulthood, and raise her better than before.

She has to change her fate, choose a reliable and good man with her eyes wide open, and live a happy life.

The only regret in my heart is that when I was reborn, my mother left me again, so that I couldn't honor her old man.

But she didn't have time to complain at this time.

Because what she has to do is how to survive better this time, relying on her body that is less than six years old.
