Grief (1) (165)
This Chinese New Year's Eve, many people will stay up until one or two o'clock in the morning before going to bed. In those days, although many poor people had a hard time, they would regard the New Year as the most festive event, and they really took it seriously. I slept too late, so I was very sleepy.
Tao Zhenkun, who was ignorant, suddenly sat up from the quilt and asked in a panic: "Mother, what are you talking about?"
"Your dad is gone!"
In the silence, the voice of the mother who floated into the house from the window was full of anxiety and crying.
"Mother, don't worry, let's go out, it's okay."
Liu Xingmei also sat up, she rubbed her tired eyes, looked at the blurred outline of her mother-in-law standing outside through the curtain, and muttered in confusion: "It's late at night, what kind of demon is this?" With my dad like that, where else can I go!"
"Don't bother, get dressed and find it!" Tao Zhenkun said angrily.
So, the two of them went to their own clothes in the black light and blindness.
When the two of them came outside in a panic, the cold hit and immediately made their bodies tremble.
The sky was gray, and the clouds that had been clouded for several days seemed to have never intended to return the sunshine to the sky, and the ground was covered with a thin layer of frosty snow.
"Mother, what's going on?" Tao Zhenkun asked.
Qiu Lanzhi wiped the tears that had frozen into ice on his face and said, "I fell asleep, and I didn't see him when I woke up!"
"Mother, when is this?" Liu Xingmei suddenly felt stupid to ask this.
"As soon as I woke up, he was gone, and who knows when he came out."
"The two of us also slept soundly, and we didn't even hear the slightest movement when my father came out."
Tao Zhenkun suddenly felt that the situation was a little bad, and when he saw that his mother was not wearing anything on her head, he took off his fur hat and put it on his mother and said, "Find it quickly!"
On such a cold day, if you come out and lie down and can't move, you can really freeze to death after a long time. Why didn't you hear my father's shouting?
At this time, I saw that the black tiger came out of the nest, it stretched its waist and pulled its crotch, and it really looked "tiptoeing" on the ground covered with a layer of light snow, shaking its claws from time to time. The mysterious disappearance of the head of the family, and its loyal guardian seems to be ignorant of it.
Even the black tiger was not alarmed, which probably means that there is nothing wrong with his father, and Tao Zhenkun breathed a sigh of relief.
However, I searched again in front of the house and behind the house, and searched all the places where there was a shelter to hide people, but there was still no trace of him.
When Liu Xingmei looked at the pile of chopping wood, she would think of a group of weasels living inside, and she couldn't help but tremble. On the snow, however, I saw a mess of paw prints, spreading an infinite range with their active colors.
"Dad, where are you?"
"It's so strange, a big living person, how can Dad really lose it-"
"Shut your crow's mouth!" Tao Zhenkun glared at Liu Xingmei.
Then I came to the gate, the lock was still locked, and there were no footprints left by anyone going out.
Qiu Lanzhi, who was stupid, followed behind the two of them blankly without saying a word. At this time, she found that the black tiger was fiddling with something from the snow nest with its front paws, and it was repeatedly sniffing and picking it up and putting it down, as if she was very interested in that thing, and she seemed to be afraid to swallow it easily. After several temptations, it is necessary to chew and swallow it in its mouth. Qiu Lanzhi saw that the thing seemed to be familiar, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop the black tiger, and the black tiger spit the thing on the ground again. But by the light of the snow, the length and thickness of the thing can still be seen. When she looked closely, she couldn't help but let out an "ah", and went up to pick up the thing, and when she could see exactly what the swarthy carrot was, and it was frozen in the state of erection and rising, the shock made her a little distracted, dizzy in the whirlwind, her body was shaking, and she almost fainted immediately. It's over, it's over, it's a shocking blow of despair!
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Tao Zhenkun jumped forward with an arrow step and supported his mother's body.
"Mother, what are you holding in your hand?" Liu Xingmei stared at the object in her mother-in-law's hand.
Qiu Lanzhi quickly put the thing that could prove the gender of the person into his pocket, and said: "Quick, go to your father, he-I'm afraid he can't do it!"
"Mother, what do you mean?"
"Look!"
"Mother!"
Tao Zhenkun, who was extremely shocked, found that his mother looked like a female beast that had lost her cubs, and her voice was full of despair and sorrow!
The donkey in the pen screamed as he shook his head and tail, and it seemed to be mocking and mocking all kinds of strange humans!
At this time, Liu Xingmei didn't care about having the leisure to hide something from her mother-in-law and refused to let others see it, so she asked: "Mother, have you looked for it in the side building?"
Qiu Lanzhi shook her head, and she cried a little.
In the later period of time, it can be said that for a long time, the curious Liu Xingmei wanted to look for her mother-in-law's refusing to show her back many times, but she never found out what it would be. When she really couldn't help but talk about it to Tao Zhenkun, she didn't admit it but was reproached by him: "What other treasures can you pick up?!"
Liu Xingmei is no matter how Cong she is, what she would never have thought of was that that thing would be a man's reproductive organs!
Yes, that thing would be a truly priceless treasure for both men and women, a manufacturing tool for human reproduction.
At this time, Tao Zhenkun seemed to have a sudden realization, and couldn't help but knock his head hard with his fist. So, he began to lower his head and look for the place where he was going. He forgot for a moment that a hunter's skill is that he will find the traces of his prey, which should not be neglected.
Perhaps, he shouldn't blame him for this neglect, because in this small courtyard, as long as people don't go out, it won't be difficult to find it. In addition, it has just snowed lightly, so it is easy to spot the tracks.
Probably, Qiu Lanzhi, who was in a hurry, also ignored this important issue that should not be ignored.
Or, all three of them mistakenly believe that the missing person is just a case of coming out to untie his hand.
Suddenly, Tao Zhenkun finally found the footprints he was familiar with on the snow that was not thick, and at the same time, he was stunned to see a little blood stain on the ground and the snow. When he was shocked, he would think: It seems that Dad is vomiting blood again!
At this time, he saw a pool of blood at the corner leading to the side of the house, and was shocked to see that in that pool of blood there was the knife that had been used to skin the prey for many years. He couldn't help but be shocked when he picked it up, and the knife was also stained with mottled red blood, and a sense of fear suddenly hit his heart.
"Daddy!"
Could it be that Dad was devastated by illness and found a short-sighted sight?
He threw down the knife and staggered into the side of the building, which looked black and rumbling inside. As a result, through the hazy light of the snow, I saw that the tarpaulin on the large coffin had been lifted off, and the coffin jumped into view. However, the lid of the coffin was still covered, and no open space was revealed. In addition, he, a man who would seem bold in front of any animal, also shuddered involuntarily. Because he had seen dozens of animals smaller than cats and larger than mice, perhaps because of the night, he could not distinguish their colors, so they looked black all over.
Some of them seemed to be squatting on top of the coffin, and some were gathered in front of the coffin on the ground, and they were all silent, as if they were watching.
His appearance alarmed the group of small animals, and those on the coffin jumped down in a diving position, and fled in all directions with the confusion on the ground, only to find a place to hide. After a commotion, it quickly returned to its original calm in the silence. This phenomenon happened almost instantly, and the whole side of the building was suddenly filled with a boiling atmosphere in the noisy squeak. But this kind of scene also belongs to the moment, and it returns to silence in a moment, as if what appears in front of him is just an illusion!
At this time, Tao Zhenkun also recognized in a daze that those small animals were weasels that gave people a sense of mystery, but he didn't know why they were guarding in front of the coffin?
At this moment, a series of croaking sounds floated over his head, and when he turned his head to look for the sound, he saw a ghostly night owl flying out of the side of the house, but I wonder if it was the one who had come to visit many times?
Everything seems to be full of unbelievable weirdness.
After a period of creepy, he frowned and searched in the side of the house where the debris was piled up, but he didn't see his father.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who followed followed stood at the door of the side building in a daze, looking into the dim interior. Obviously, the two of them were ignorant of the strange things that were going on inside.
It's a really weird thing!
However, this strange thing is only for Tao Zhenkun, and it seems to have nothing to do with others.
In Qiu Lanzhi's pocket, there was that unspeakable secret, and she was completely like a fool at this time.
And Liu Xingmei felt so cold that she was hitting her teeth and bones, shivering all over, and a thin layer of hoarfrost formed on her mouth and nostrils.
