Chapter 66: Lonely and Pity
When he and his buddies hurried to their house, they were already surrounded by neighbors. "Let one let let one let go." His friend pulled him into the crowd, but was startled by what he saw. The trees, tables and chairs in the courtyard were all wrapped in red cloth, one by one, facing the night wind, fluttering under the light of the fire in the courtyard, looking unusually weird. "Blood Gu?" The good buddy frowned and shook his head, "Sister-in-law, this is?" ”
Blood Gu is not a Gu, but a kind of witchcraft, according to legend, use red silk to entangle the grass and trees in a certain house, and someone is martyred in it, and after reincarnation, you can be united forever and give birth to a white head. Whether it is useful or not is impossible to verify, but the older generation on the island still believes in this absurd-sounding witchcraft.
"You're back." When the old lady on the side saw him coming back, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your daughter-in-law is crazy!" She tied the child to the house, and no one was allowed to enter, and it was okay if we didn't go in, and whoever dared to take a step into the yard, she rushed out with a knife and slashed indiscriminately. I have to say that when you come back, you should go in and have a look. ”
He frowned slightly, he didn't know why his wife had become like this, and was thinking about it, but suddenly a man rushed out of the crowd and grabbed him by the collar and shouted, "What happened to your daughter!" If my daughter has three long and two short, I won't be done with you!. ”
Breaking free of the man's hand, he gently walked into the courtyard door, the door was ajar, and standing in the middle of the courtyard, he could faintly see the lights inside. He walked cautiously, for fear that if he didn't pay attention, a woman with loose hair would rush out of the door and choke his neck.
"Why don't you smile all the time, don't you know how to make expressions, I'll teach you, you see, like me." took a step, but what flashed in my mind was when I first met my wife. The wife pulled the grimace she squeezed out.
"We're doll pro-Ao, you can't bully me in the future." One more step was taken, and his wife's playful smiling face flashed across his eyes.
"What do you say are the names of our children? You keep your face on all day, and you can't be like you when a child is born. The third step is to recall the appearance of a wife who is pregnant and has limited mobility, but still wants to make herself happy while lying in bed.
"I'm fine, hungry, right? I've already cooked for you, but there isn't much rice left at home, not enough to make porridge, so I made a few cakes. In the fourth step, he saw his sallow-faced wife, who had just given birth, cooking for him.
"I'm sorry, I, I'm a little dizzy, just... It rained again, and the fields weren't finished. At the last step, the door of the house was in front of him, and his wife, who was lying on the ridge of the field and was pale and drenched, suddenly felt a pain in his heart.
Gently pushing the door open, he didn't rush out of a vicious woman as he thought. The room was neatly tidied up, and the two red candles on the table gave off a serene light. The wife wore the black robe they had worn when they were newly married, and had applied lip grease that had not been touched for a long time, and her hair had already been combed smoothly, and water was flowing down her shoulders. His wife was sitting at the table, staring at the two red candles, and when she saw him come in, she had a happy look on her face, just as she had been when they had first met.
"You're back." The wife smiled, the pear socket on her face was shallow, and the beautiful appearance made him look a little trance.
"I—" He didn't know what to say, his face slightly embarrassed.
"Shhhh Then he beckoned to him: "Come here, come here." A pair of big eyes blinked, and he felt a little hairy.
"I want to say—" He sat down at the table and put his hands on the table, thinking to himself, maybe he really owed his wife something, maybe the idea of going out into the world was not as important as he thought. I think..."He looked at his wife, his gaze began to be firm, but he was suddenly interrupted by his wife, whose left hand held his right hand, but there was still a gentle smile on her face: "Don't say anything, you're back, that's enough." ”
"I'm sorry for you." His eyes were slightly moist, and he gently held his wife's hand, maybe everything was still in time, let him stop if it was time to stop.
"It's okay." The wife smiled softly, and looked more and more charming after applying lip grease, but the lip grease at the corner of her mouth was slightly scattered, which seemed to be a fly in the ointment. "We'll be together forever, won't we?"
"What about the kids? I want to see the kids. He remembered the child and asked his wife, but suddenly he saw an inconspicuous little thing in the shadow of the wax torch stand.
A section of a little child's toes!
His brow changed suddenly, and when he looked up, he saw his wife's right hand raised from under the table, and a sharp knife suddenly appeared in front of him. "Be with me forever, with our children." His wife's eyes were wide open, and the smile on her face looked unusually weird at the moment, and by the candlelight, he finally saw the corners of his wife's mouth. That's not a loose lip grease at all.
That's human blood!
Boom! His wife slashed into the air, and her whole body fell on the table, bringing down the two red candles, and the sleeves of his robe were undecided two steps away, looking at the chair that had just been brought down by himself, if he hadn't dodged in time, he was afraid that blood would have been splashed on the spot now.
"Huh?" Seeing him dodge, his wife showed a puzzled look on her face, like a child thinking about a problem, she re-grasped the knife in her hand, turned to look at him and asked, "Why did you dodge?" ”
"What happened to your child?" He frowned and stared at his wife in front of him.
"I don't think so." The wife was confused: "The baby is sleeping, sleeping well, let's go and accompany him." ”
"You're crazy." He looked at his wife and gently stepped back, he knew that at this time, a small movement could make the person in front of him explode instantly.
"I didn't." The wife smiled and laughed miserably: "Yes! I'm crazy! I want you all to die! But he suddenly smiled and cried: "You are all bad people, no one likes me." I hate you guys! ”
The heel touched the door frame, and there was a soft bang, and both of them were startled, and he rushed out of the door in the middle of the lightning, almost against his cheek, and with a bang, the knife flew straight over, and suddenly inserted into the door panel, and he trembled non-stop. He ran into the courtyard, a gust of night wind blew, on the roof trees, the courtyard was full of red silk dancing, she came out of the house with a sharp knife, looked at him a little embarrassed, and smiled very happily.
"Listen, it's time to go." His wife looked at him and smiled, "You can't be left behind." ”
I'll wait for you
He flew over, but he couldn't catch the sharp knife that his wife had stabbed into his chest, and when he saw his wife's eyes, the expression was gentle and sweet. He held his wife in his arms, and he had never panicked at this time. The crowd poured into the courtyard and surrounded the two of them, but they both looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
The blood in his chest gradually stopped gushing out, and what was fixed on his face was the happy appearance of his wife at the last moment.
The courtyard was full of red silk fluttering, like blood flying, whispering to the night wind.
