Chapter 6: Night Terrors

After making a decision, Qingmu was relaxed, squatted next to the springboard and watched the second sister-in-law kill and wash the fish, and then followed her into the kitchen, standing in front of the stove and watching her make braised fish, and Cai's made a fire under the stove.

When Ruan was busy, he didn't forget to talk to Qing Mu to make her happy.

He nodded or shook his head, and didn't spit out a word.

Ruan Shi only thought that she was still depressed, and did not care.

Before eating, the dumb led Guo Jian and Guo Qiao, who were playing in the courtyard, to the water's edge and washed their hands and faces. After finishing it, he turned his head to look for Guo Qin, but he was like a leather monkey, nowhere to be seen, so he had to give up.

In the upper room, Cai's and Ruan's went in and out to serve food, and Guo Shouye's father and son sat down at the table first; Wu also sat dumbly beside him, talking to her softly; A few little babies rushed in and out, shouting and shouting, and the family of more than a dozen people seemed to have dozens of people, very prosperous and lively.

The dishes were served, according to the old rules: the adults sat at the table, and the babies ate underground.

In front of the table full of dishes, everyone was in a good mood and smiling.

Under the majestic momentum of Guo Shouye, Guo Qin and the three did not dare to make a disturbance, and the Wu family picked up the dishes for them: four chicken legs, three little babies and dumb, one for each person; the fish belly meat with few fish bones was given to Guo Jian and Guo Qiao; As for the other dishes, they will be served by their mothers.

Qing Du saw his nephews gnawing on chicken thighs in their hands, with a happy face and a soft heart.

She got off the table and gave her chicken leg to the youngest Guo Jian.

Guo Jian was overjoyed, raised his head and called softly, "Sister-in-law!" ”

Seeing that the little baby's eyes were full of gratitude and touch, for a chicken leg, she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, and re-seated.

Over there, Guo Qin puffed out and shouted: "Eccentric! ”

Guo Daquan listened to his son's words, glared and said, "Say it again, give your chicken leg to my sister." ”

Guo Qin didn't dare to say anything when he heard this, so he hurriedly lowered his head and ate hard, for fear that his father would come to the truth.

When Cai first married into the Guo family, he was very resentful of his mother-in-law's favoritism and sister-in-law. After a long time, I found that my sister-in-law was diligent and kind, and she was not pampered and arrogant, so she was sincere to her.

At this time, she smiled and said: "Little sister, you lose (eat) by yourself, leave them alone!" ”

She had a mouthful of chicken in her mouth, chewing it so hard that she was talking so much that her words were a little slurred; Hands and eyes are also busy: I saw a piece of fish, quickly put it in a bowl and stored it, and then I took a piece of chicken, held it to my mouth and prepared it, just waiting for the meat in my mouth to be swallowed and stuffed into my throat, and the gap did not leak.

Ruan glanced at his sister-in-law, smiled, and lowered his head to eat.

The contrast between the concubines and the concubines is stark, Guo Daquan blushes for his daughter-in-law and bows his head in shame.

Guo Dayou thoughtfully helped his daughter-in-law pick up a piece of chicken, and Ruan smiled at him and thanked him.

Wu looked at his eldest daughter-in-law's constantly squirming mouth.

She was very unhappy in her heart: she killed two chickens, and her daughter didn't get a chicken leg, and if there are more children and grandchildren here, she is in debt, and she can't take care of it.

However, she didn't say anything at all, and reached out her chopsticks to rummage in the chicken bowl.

In addition to the chicken legs, the chicken breast meat is thick, she turned the chicken breast and chicken liver out together, and gave it to Qingdu, "You haven't eaten twice, and if you don't eat again, you will fly." ”

Obedient and listening, Guo Da checked his mother's intentions and said with a smile: "Little sister, you eat your own, don't care about them." They are hungry and reincarnated, and they can't starve. ”

The crowd laughed.

The dumb obediently took it, and the clear gaze lingered on Wu's face.

Wu was so moved by the girl's eyes that he looked at her, so he looked at her to eat, and helped her pick up vegetables from time to time.

Guo Shouye, the head of the family, doesn't talk much at the dinner table, unless his grandson is too skinny, he scolds him. At this time, he "casually" picked up a piece of chicken bowl, found that the meat was not bad, and handed it to the old lady without saying anything else.

Qingdue wanted to say "thank you", but still couldn't say it, so she thanked her with a smile.

The old couple set an example, and the brothers and sisters-in-law followed suit, respecting the old and loving the young, and helping to carry vegetables.

The meal was a great one, and everyone was very satisfied.

In the afternoon, Qingmu and his nephews and nieces played in the garden.

Guo Qin climbed onto the jujube tree, and under the pretext of tasting whether the jujubes were ripe, he ate one after another.

Qingdue was afraid that he would eat bad stomach, and wanted to stop it, but he didn't know what to say.

She has no experience in disciplining small children.

Fortunately, the farmer's baby is solid, and there is nothing to do with eating like this.

In the evening, Guo Dagui carried out the shrimp net and mixed the rice bran with oil to catch shrimp.

With him in the lead, my sister and nephews had more fun, and the garden was full of laughter.

While playing, Guo Dagui found that his sister never seemed to have opened her mouth or made a sound.

This doubt disappeared in a flash, and he quickly answered it himself: it was all raised by Zhang Futian's son of a bitch, and his sister was not happy, of course he didn't want to talk, so he worked harder to take his sister to play, and went to the net next to the water along the waterfront of Guo's house.

Dumb and delighted to find that this method really worked, and they caught a lot of shrimp.

Looking at the big fresh shrimp jumping around, she had itchy hands for a while, carefully removed the shrimp shell, chopped the shrimp meat into meat puree, and then rolled out the dough and wrapped a lot of shrimp stuffed wonton.

Xu is the wonton is really delicious, and Xu is made of dumbness, and the whole family is full of praise.

Qiē is so happy and harmonious, Guo Shouye's hanging hearts are more than half.

What about the other half...... Naturally, it is a lifelong event for the daughter.

At night, after the people and animals in the village were asleep, there was silence all around, and the dumb took advantage of the clear light of the full moon to quietly get up and go downstairs, and went out like a ghost, and came to the waterside in front of the house.

Under the moonlight, the continuous lotus leaves and lotus flowers are miserable and hazy, as if in a dream.

In her dream, her parents seemed to be calling from afar, giving her courage and confidence.

She was afraid that something would prick her feet underwater, so she didn't even take off her shoes and slowly walked into the water.

When the water reached her knees, she looked back at the Guo family.

The courtyard of the farmhouse is bathed in silver moonlight, like an ink painting.

When she's gone, the original owner should be able to come back, she thought.

So, she continued to walk to the depths of the water, to the dense place of lotus leaves.

The water temperature was neither cold nor hot, it was very gentle, softly soaking her waist and chest, and the water pressure was getting bigger and bigger, but she was always awake and did not feel dizzy when she came.

"Do you have to be completely submerged in water to have that feeling?" She thought.

Walking further, the water was up to her neck.

Her body floated up unconsciously, and she had to work hard to hold it down.

Eventually, the water reached the wings of her nose and she couldn't breathe.

Suffocated, she was still awake.

Because I was sober, I felt very uncomfortable.

She knew that as long as one couldn't help it, she would choke on water.

Why aren't you confused?

Why don't you go home yet?

Just as he was about to leave again, he heard a terrible scream piercing the night sky behind him: "Dumb—"

She shuddered with fright, and suddenly her body lost control and she floated.

……

July 15, Halloween.

After the night was quiet, Guo Shouye took his son out to light the lamp, burn paper, and sacrifice the lonely souls and ghosts.

As soon as the application was ready, after Wu watched his father and son go out, he wanted to go upstairs to see his daughter, tonight's Halloween, don't scare her.

However, the dumbness is not in the room.

"Dumb, dumb!"

She whispered, frightened and alarmed, and searched everywhere.

Even the latrine was searched, but the girl was not found.

She panicked and stood in the courtyard and listened.

The blue sky and the moon are clear, and she feels gloomy and infiltrating.

When I walked to the water's edge, I didn't see anything.

However, the moonlit water surface is turbulent and creepy.

Suspicious, she looked closer, and finally noticed that a black mass was moving towards the deep water, and only half of her head remained.

At that moment, she was full of heart and screamed.

Guo Shouye, who rushed to the scene when he heard the sound, dragged his dumb ashore with his hands and feet.

In the middle of the night, the Guo family was alarmed and gathered in Guo Qing's dumb room.

On the bed, Wu hugged the dumb who had changed his clothes, and cried breathlessly: "My son...... You're going to kill your mother...... You're so ruthless......"

Cai Shi also crooked on the side of the bed, crying with a handful of snot and tears: "Silly little sister, why can't you think about it so much!" You are sad and tell your sister-in-law that your sister-in-law went to dig his ancestral grave! If you want to die like this, it's not for nothing, it's cheaper......"

Everyone else stood in front of the bed and looked dumb, only then did they realize that she was pretending to be like that during the day, to spend the last time with her family, and she was ready to die.

Qing Mu has no way to explain this matter, and he can't find a reason to explain.

In the face of the grieving Guo family, a thousand words poured into his mouth, his mouth opened, closed again, opened again, and only spit out "No!" No! While wiping Wu's tears, the more he wiped them, the more he wiped them.

Wu cried and cried, remembering the culprit, so he pounded the bed hard and shouted: "The old lady can't spare them!" Can't spare them!! ”

Guo Shouye clenched his fists and muttered in a low voice, not knowing what to say.

Guo Daquan looked at his sister, his eyes were full of tears, "Sister, you are stupid!" ”

Guo Dayou bit his lip with red eyes, and tried his best to control it so that the tears did not fall.

Guo Dagui finally couldn't hold back and cried.

Ruan Shi tearfully persuaded her mother-in-law: "Mother, don't cry. The little sister is blessed, this is not saved. Let's persuade her to stop doing such stupid things. For the sake of that person, it's not worth it. Mother, don't cry, my sister-in-law can't stand it anymore......"

Guo Qing nodded dumbly, she really couldn't stand it.

At this time, Guo Qin's three little ones finally figured out that their sister-in-law almost drowned, and suddenly Guo Jian and Guo Qiao each leaned on their mother-in-law and cried, crying and shouting "sister-in-law"; Guo Qin was older, standing beside Guo Daquan and crying, the crying and his third uncle Guo Dagui's crying came and went, and the situation was as if the dumbness had gone, which made her scalp explode.

By the time Qiē calmed down again, it was already the second half of the night.

Qingdun couldn't leave as he wished, and said "I'm sorry" to his parents in his heart, and fell asleep tiredly.

Wu and Nguyen guarded her, one bed and the other, like a servant.

Early the next morning, Qingmu did not sink as his family imagined, and got up as usual.

When everyone saw her, they didn't mention last night.

Qing Du felt that every qiē was the same as yesterday, but it was a little different: no matter where she went, Guo Qin, Guo Jian, and Guo Qiao followed her; That's not all, the three little babies were cautious when talking to her, "sister-in-law" and "sister-in-law" called shortly, with a smiling face, not like the big one playing with the small one, but like the small one coaxing the big one.

I think I was advised by my father and grandmother, so I did this.

But because of his youth, his deliberate words and deeds are very clumsy, and he is naïve and innocent.

It's funny to watch, but it's sad and guilty.

She sighed to herself, knowing that she had frightened the family.

She tried her best to act as if nothing had happened, but the Guo family still vigilantly guarded her.

"Take your time." She thought worriedly.

Despite the Guo family's concealment, the news of the dumb search for death still spread in the village.

The walls of Guo's house are high and the courtyard is deep, but the sound of Wu's screams that night was too scary, and the neighbors on the left and right heard it and speculated one after another, so that it spread out of shape: some said that they were dumb and hanged, some said that they were dumb and jumped off the building, and some said that they were dumb and threw themselves into the water, all of which were spread with noses and eyes.

On the morning of this day, Zhang Laohan stopped Guo Shouye in the field and asked him what he wanted.

Since going to Guo's house that day, although Guo Shouye and his family have not blamed them, they have never given an accurate word, and he is not sure. Today, I heard that people are dumb and looking for death, presumably because they are reluctant to let his family Futian, so he deliberately went around to the field to discuss with Guo Shouye, wanting to have an accurate word.

"Whew! Don't tell me. Guo Shouye's face was full of sorrow, and he stomped his feet and sighed, "Don't tell me!" I can't help it! ”

After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and left.

Zhang Laohan looked at his back and thought to himself, who will he tell if he doesn't tell you?

His eyes fell on the cotton field next to him, and in addition to flowers, the cotton branches were also full of cotton bolls.

His heart was excited: it was the result, it was the result......

That's right, the red dates have also borne fruit, and there is also a "meat ball" in the belly!

Li Jiakou kept saying that this meat ball belonged to his family Futian.

If this matter is not solved, no matter how much you talk to Guo Shouye, it is not useless!

After he figured it out, he ran back in a hurry.
