Chapter 1 The debt has not been repaid
August 9, 2014 was a Saturday.
Yu Mingyue drove a second-hand trailer early in the morning, carrying her brother-in-law's youngest daughter, Kong Jinling, from the teacher's dormitory of the district middle school back to her grandfather's house more than 20 kilometers away, which is also her current home - Caiyun Village No. 1 Community, Daping Town, Renyi District.
After Yu Mingyue became an orphan when she was 6 years old, she moved to live with her uncle Yu Zhizong; When he was 9 years old, he moved from his uncle's house to his grandfather Kong Mingfu's house, and this time he lived for 23 years.
Among these 23 families, the homes of her grandfather and uncles are her home. Her grandfather and three uncles gave her all their love for her mother, and gathered the strength of the whole family to help her finish college.
Since Yu Mingyue graduated from Normal University when she was 22 years old, she returned to the town's middle school to become a mathematics teacher. After that, even if she was transferred from the town middle school to the district middle school, she would come home for two days every weekend to help with some farm work, so that she would feel a little better.
Now there is only one of Yu Mingyue's three uncles left, and her grandparents, who are in their eighties, are also getting older, and they have suffered the pain of losing their children twice in the past three years, and their health is not as good as before.
Yu Yueming is now taking the students who will be promoted to the third year of junior high school in September, so she was arranged by the school to make up classes during the holidays, otherwise she would help with farm work at home throughout the holidays, and also take care of the two elderly people by the way.
Yu Mingyue, who rushed back early in the morning, just parked the car, and heard the second uncle say that her grandfather had been sick for a few days, but she still didn't listen to the persuasion of her family, and she insisted on herding cattle.
The 84-year-old grandfather should not have herded cattle anymore, but this time he was not lightly ill, and he could not let him climb the 7~8 miles of hillside roads to herd cattle. in case of
Yu Mingyue didn't dare to think about it more, she started to persuade in her heart.
At this time, she began to fall into memories because she was thinking about her heart, and she became even more sad and guilty, and scenes of the past seemed to come to her eyes again.
If it weren't for her
Yu Mingyue shook her head, not daring to think too much.
She put a few handfuls of incense candles, paper money, a QQ star and a few boxes of elderly nutrition products in the main house she bought, and went to the kitchen to persuade her grandfather.
Faced with a temperamental grandfather, Yu Mingyue, who tried hard to persuade but still had no results, only got permission from her grandfather to help him with two days of cattle herding.
In the kitchen, the helpless Yu Mingyue saw that her grandmother was about to kill chickens, and she was busy talking to her grandparents while answering the words of killing chickens.
slaughtered this one with a heavy heart, and was caught and covered by her grandmother early in the morning, and asked her to worship the sacrifices of her deceased parents, Yu Mingyue's heart was sad and bitter that could not be dissolved.
Every year, she had to kill the chickens three times just to worship her relatives, so it didn't take much time for the chickens to be bled out, plucked, disemboweled, and cleaned.
After pouring the dirty water into the septic tank outside the door, Yu Mingyue looked up at the sky and saw that there was no cloud in the sky, and the golden morning sun had completely emerged from behind the highest old Jianshan Mountain in the east.
This made her heart breathe a sigh of relief, but then she frowned slightly, as if she remembered something, and after a trace of sadness appeared on her tense face, it became more and more gloomy.
After returning to the kitchen, Yu Mingyue said hello to her grandmother, went back to the house to change her clothes and pants neatly, prepared the raincoat that she must bring to herd the livestock, and went to the livestock pen to drive the cattle.
After being sent to the door by her grandfather's instructions, she drove eight and a half large cattle up the mountain with ease.
After climbing the slope of seven or eight miles along the Niu Road, we arrived at the flattest and most fertile place in front of the Black Rock Mountain.
Yu Mingyue looked at the time, it was not even ten o'clock. Looking up at the still cloudless sky, and then at the cows grazing on the side of the ridge, she curled the corners of her mouth slightly.
But just after noon, the originally cloudless sky gradually poured out a lot of black clouds from behind the mountains on all sides, and then gusts of wind also blew up.
Less than half an hour after the wind started, Yu Mingyue, who was collecting firewood, tightened her clothes again, and looked up at the sky again, only to find that the sky above her head, which was cloudless before, had accumulated a lot of dark black rain clouds.
Her heart trembled, and she hurriedly walked to a dry pyre a few meters away to put it down.
When she looked up again, she saw that there were more and darker rain clouds in the sky, and the fear in her heart was even greater. She trotted toward a low, empty lawn in the distance, pulling out her phone from her pocket and turning it off.
At this time, the almost identical voices and admonitions of the elders in the depths of her memory kept echoing in her ears, making her brows furrow more and more tight, and the uneasiness and fear in her heart made her turn from the original trot to running.
In fact, she knew that today's phenomenon was just a common thunderstorm here.
Thundershowers are a common occurrence in the mountainous regions of southwest China, but for her it is a haunting and nightmare.
After all
Before Yu Mingyue could think too much, several huge raindrops had already smashed on her face.
She quickly took out the raincoat from her crossbody bag, and after quickly putting it on, she reluctantly looked at the dry pyre that was destined to be wet by the heavy rain twenty or thirty meters away.
After a helpless sigh, Yu Mingyue squatted down firmly, and the heavy rain also fell sharply at this time, accompanied by strong winds, thunder and lightning, the raindrops became bigger and denser
Listening to the roaring thunder and squatting in the heavy rain that had reached the level of a heavy rainstorm, Yu Yueming had a bitter face, thinking about how to persuade his grandfather to sell the 8 cattle that had only grown to half the size.
She knew in her heart that her grandfather was worried about her eldest cousin Kong Yinling's college tuition, and he had been working so hard to sell the small cattle.
If you didn't come to live at your grandfather's house back then, wouldn't you?
Yu Mingyue, who fell into deeper memories, was already full of guilt on her pale baby face.
Suddenly, several deafening thunders woke up Yu Yueming, who was immersed in self-blame.
She panicked in her heart, and hurriedly raised her head to look at the sky, just as she saw the dense power grid in the black clouds overhead.
But before she could react, she saw a huge lightning bolt shooting straight at her.
"It's over, I haven't paid off my debts yet" The dazzling electric light turned into the thin figures of my grandparents and grandmothers, and their wrinkled faces, and in a blink of an eye, they turned into the faces of my uncle, brother-in-law, and grandfather all her deceased relatives, and rushed straight to Yu Mingyue who was looking up at the sky. The phantom was getting closer and closer, and the memories that Yu Mingyue had pressed in his mind suddenly erupted at this time.
She was full of guilt, and under the light of the thunder, her face turned even paler. In Yu Mingyue's eyes, the slow qiē was actually just a blink of an eye, and before she could finish reading that sentence, she was shrouded in thunder.
When the huge thunder that shook the mountains and rivers sounded, Yu Mingyue was already full of guilt, regret, unwillingness, and the moment of lightning and body, the thoughts flashed in her mind - hang!
This day is the 32nd anniversary of Yu Yueming's parents' death, the 14th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar
It was September 1, 1982, the evening of the 14th day of the seventh lunar month.
On a muddy mountain road in Caiyun Village, Daping Township, Renyi District, in Mumian City, Sichuan, 26-year-old Yu Zhiqing wore a hat and a brown wool coat, a flashlight in his left hand and a bottle of alcohol in his right hand, panting and running on a rainy night.
More than 200 meters away from him, next to a dirt road, is a newly built farm yard with mud walls and blue tiles. In the courtyard are three main houses facing north to south, and three wing rooms facing east to west. At this time, the dim light was shining in the landlord's room, and a baby's cry came from the house.
In the east room, 24-year-old Kong Xiaoyu was holding her daughter, who was three months old and one day old, shaking and coaxing: "Xiaoyue, don't cry, be obedient." Your dad will be back from your grandfather's house in a moment, don't cry. The voice was a little tired, and even more worried.
At this time, Yu Zhiqing had already pushed open the back door and returned home. After he took off his hat and robe from the corner at the entrance of the hall, he heard his daughter's hoarse crying, and he didn't care about the mud with full shoes and trouser legs, and went straight into the room on the right.
Yu Zhiqing looked at his wife as he approached and asked, "Xiaoyu, how is the child, is it still burning badly?" After asking, he put the things in his hand on the bed, and then took two hot breaths on his hand, and touched it on his daughter's head.
When he touched his daughter's forehead, which was still very hot, he frowned darkly, and a trace of panic flashed in his big black eyes but disappeared immediately, but the typical baby face still showed a worried expression.
"Quick, let's wipe the child with alcohol again, and if it doesn't work, we'll send it to the township hospital." As he spoke, he put an old sheet on the side of the bed, and followed his wife Kong Xiaoyu to talk while getting busy.
Half an hour later, Kong Xiaoyu followed her husband and touched her daughter's forehead again, and the face of the oily black and thin melon seeds also looked more worried.
She blinked her long eyelashes twice, forcing back the tears that were about to fall, although even the small nose was sweating nervously, but seeing her husband Yu Zhiqing's nervous panicked appearance, she still endured the expression on her face, and comforted her steadily: "Zhiqing, don't worry, let's wipe Xiaoyue again, maybe this time it's okay, now it's not safe to ride a bicycle with thunder and heavy rain, it's really not good, let's send it to the township hospital again." ”
After saying this, the husband and wife hurriedly rubbed alcohol on the child named Xiaoyue.
Although the daughter of this young couple, Xiaoyue, is the eldest, the two of them have had two children who have not been able to receive them before.
If you want to talk about the reasons, first, this hole Xiaoyu has a strong nature; The second is that her mother-in-law, Kong Mingying, is a little tricky. Kong Xiaoyu was too tired from working during pregnancy, and her nutrition couldn't keep up, so the first one was lost, and the second was stillborn when she was born, most of which was also caused by too tired work. For the child that the couple looked forward to for the third time, although they were daughters, both of them were distressed.
After another half an hour, because the baby named Xiaoyue still had no fever, Yu Zhiqing still pushed out the bicycle he bought when he got married parked in the hall and drove his wife and daughter out of the gate wearing rainproof equipment.
In the dark night, thunder and lightning roared, the wind poured down with the torrential rain, and the electric light scurried in the black clouds like a silver snake, and the thunder rolled in the sky. Bright white lightning illuminated the dark earth, and the tall ammonia trees beside the dirt road were clearly visible. After the electric light, it was followed by the crisp sound of "crackling" and "clicking" in the darkness.
After the thunder, except for the faint light of the flashlight shining on the dirt road on the rainy night, only the distant network of lightning and thunder remained. But in less than a minute, there was another burst of electric light over the dirt road that could illuminate the road, which made Yu Zhiqing who was riding more clearly the road conditions ahead.
On such a night of thunder and lightning, and on the night of the 14th of July, anyone who sees it will be terrified.
The young couple was also scared at this time, but they were even more worried about their daughter, who had a high fever that would not go away, so they braved, flashlighted, and rode this Phoenix brand bicycle on a bumpy dirt road full of potholes and mud. The husband and wife panicked, and they just wanted to send their daughter to the township hospital four or five kilometers away as soon as possible.
Seeing that the journey was halfway through, Yu Zhiqing, who was anxious, breathed a sigh of relief. While carefully looking at the road ahead, he took a deep breath and calmed down, and loudly comforted his wife, who was holding the child tightly on his back, but suddenly found that he could see the qiē in front of him as clearly as in the scorching sun.
At this moment, a lightning bolt was rushing down from above his family of three. The light was even brighter than the light of the summer day when he looked directly at the sun.
After the thunderbolt pillar was blocked by the thick branches of the ammonia tree sticking out diagonally, it was instantly dispersed into several strands, but only a few thunderbolts that were half of the electricity were released, and instantly merged into a thunderbolt pillar, which directly pounced on the middle of the two of them.
If anyone else saw this scene, they would definitely think that the thunder and lightning that would turn around were obviously aimed at the baby who was guarded between the two.
Without waiting for the two adults who found the light to react too much, Kong Xiaoyu only instinctively hugged the daughter in his arms tighter, and the husband and wife were knocked away on both sides of the road a few meters away from the place in seconds.
Even the Phoenix brand bicycle bought for 300 yuan was hit into several large parts scattered in the middle of the road.
At this moment, another electric light illuminated the earth high in the sky.
Under the electric light, by the ditch on the inside of the dirt road, Yu Zhiqing lay motionless; On the green turf on the outside of the dirt road, there was no movement while lying down, but Kong Xiaoyu who still protected her daughter Xiaoyue tightly in her arms.
Looking at them carefully through the electric light, there is no picture that should appear after being struck by lightning, except for the hat and the coat that are scorched.
At this time, there are too many pictures that should not be and impossible, which makes this thunderstorm night even more weird.
Then, in just a few minutes, the thunderstorm stopped. In less than half an hour, gusts of wind seemed to blow away thick black rain clouds, and a full moon was faintly revealed in the middle of the sky.
Two miles away from the direction where Yu Zhiqing rode over, two Jiefang cars drove slowly and bumpy.
