Chapter 2 The Life of Little Stone
Tang Ge seemed to be dreaming, and in the dream he was in a flame of changing colors. In the flame of changing colors www.biquge.info he saw or experienced the life of a child, starting from the vague memory of the little boy until the child slowly grew up. It's a strange feeling, as if he is just a bystander, but he can personally experience the joys, sorrows, and thoughts of the child.
"My name is Little Stone, and I am the son of Big Stone!"
Every time someone teases or ridicules a child's name, the child always puffs up his chest and answers proudly, regardless of whether the other party is a long-time neighbor or a stranger. It's as if someone else must know who the big rock is, so they must know that they are the little rock. When he said this, his little head looked up at the sky, and his face was full of arrogance and arrogance, which looked very funny. So the more he behaved like this, the more others liked to tease him, and gradually, the boy's behavior became a well-known joke in the tribe. The grown-ups like to tease him with this when they have nothing to do.
In the short life of Little Stone, the most important and most frequent one is the young man called Big Stone. In the childish cognition of the little stone, the big stone is a man as majestic as the mountain, and he always exudes the same light as the sun beside the little stone.
Big Stone was the most powerful hunter in this primitive tribe, and Little Stone had always believed in this, and he had confirmed his opinion many times from the gossip of different people. Whether hunting, gathering, or conflict with other tribes, the big rocks always rush to the front, and the trophies are also the most numerous and largest in the tribe.
The rule in the tribe is that whatever prey is hunted by oneself, of course, it is fierce or difficult to hunt. You can leave a bone that can express the characteristics of the prey, or something like an animal's teeth, and wear it on the body as a sign of glory. These items are generally strung together from leather to make animal teeth and bone necklaces, and the necklaces of the large stones are larger than all those of the tribe.
Big Stone is not only the most powerful man in the village, but also the greatest father in Little Stone's heart. From childhood to adulthood, as long as you want something, the big stone tries to meet it. Whether it's a small snack with delicious food and drink, or a toy that other children don't have in their hands, as long as they make a fuss, Big Stone will always find a way for his vexatious trouble. And as long as the big stone doesn't have to work, it will definitely accompany him.
The education of other people's children is very simple, if they are not obedient, they will be beaten, and if they are afraid, they will naturally be obedient. But Xiao Shi went from a toddler to being vexatious and naughty after "growing up", no matter how he tossed, Da Shi reprimanded and scared him a few times at most, and never beat him. Compared with the "suffering" of other children, this makes Xiaoshi feel more proud, and makes him feel that his father is great.
"I never hit me." This is the second mantra of Little Stone.
Perhaps because of Big Stone's doting, Little Stone was the most daring and mischievous of all the children in the tribe, and also because of the endless supply of snacks from his great father, Little Stone became the honorary boss of all the children in the tribe with snacks and fists.
In Xiaoshi's memory, the cave where the couple lived was always full of happiness, and it was definitely a happy home. Every time Big Stone goes out hunting, that reluctant look always makes Little Stone feel as if it has been melted.
When adults go out to hunt and gather food or trade, the children of the family must stay in the caves where the children of the tribe live, and the caves where the children are centrally managed in the tribe are called "doll caves". The "doll hole" has mobile managers and fixed managers. The flow management personnel are uncertain, and if there are too many children and it is difficult to manage, they will be transferred over, but the only fixed management personnel are unchanged. This person is Da Shi's sister, Xiao Shi's aunt, her name is Xiaohong, and Xiaoshi calls her "Honggu".
Although his aunt is the leader of the "kindergarten", Xiaoshi has not received too much special care in the doll hole, at least not on the surface...... His greatest privilege is nothing more than that when the other children are forced to take a nap, Xiao Shi can go outside and sneak around, not to mention that Honggu leaves the best part of her food and secretly gives it to Xiao Shi. After all, there is no stealing from the public.
As for children fighting in anger, Xiaoshi is never afraid. Because he has an aunt who pulls a shelf, and a father who never touches a finger of himself. So no matter what mistakes are made, the little stone is not afraid, and the little stone always walks sideways in the doll hole, as for being able to become the eldest among the children, it seems that the little red aunt is also very sadistic.
Children who are too spoiled by their parents are always not very likable, let alone liked by other people's adults. The lawless little stone can be said to be disliked by people in the tribe. When Little Stone feels that he has grown up and no longer answers questions about his name, he loses his only role in entertaining the public, and he is even more unwelcome. "Don't play with the little stones" became the most common words that parents in the tribe told their children.
Tang Ge felt that he had become a little stone, and he experienced little by little the life of the little stone in his dreams. Xiao Shi's concepts and ideas are also silently changing him little by little.
Big Stone went out hunting again. Although the hunt is only expected to last for two days, Xiao Shi still feels like a year. It was only at night, and the little stone lying in the doll's hole couldn't help but start thinking about his father. I want to cry and make trouble, but I can't cry or make trouble, because other children will laugh at it.
When all the children were asleep, the little stones were still tossing and turning in the bed. "Tomorrow when the big stone comes back, he must be haunted to death. Don't tell the story of the hunt absolutely not according to him. This was the last decision of Little Stone before going to bed.
The world of children is very simple, eat, drink and have fun, as long as they are happy, there are not many other ideas. Although my aunt takes good care of herself in the doll cave, I feel that this place is always inferior to my own home. So when the other boys took a lunch break, Little Stone would always sneak home to have a look. There were snacks prepared for him by the big rock, as well as toys, which could not be taken to the doll's hole, otherwise as the boss, the snacks would have to be shared, and the toys would probably be broken into pieces.
Finally staying up until the afternoon, thinking that the big stone was coming back, the little stone decided to go home and wait for him. Slip around and whit all the way with a twig. I found a bird's nest on the way, and the smell of roasting eggs suddenly came to my heart, and then tragedy happened.
I struggled to climb the tree, but there were no eggs in the nest, but a snake crawled out! The little stone lost its footing in a frightened state and fell from the tree solidly. Before that darkness came, Little Stone knew that he was going to die, but instead of fear, he was worried about his father. "Dashi must be very sad, I knew that I must be obedient, so that I will not fall, and I can accompany him forever."
Tang Ge watched and felt silently. At this time, he is the little stone, and the little stone is also him. He can deeply feel Xiao Shi's reluctance to his father, and he is also a father himself, so he can feel the greatness of Da Shi's father's love more personally.
Although he does not agree with Dashi's doting education method for his children, he knows that no matter when and where, the love of parents is the purest and most selfless. Regardless of the parent's approach to education, the starting point is the same. The corny excuse of "for the sake of the children" is the code of conduct for all parents in the world.
Maybe some parents are too strict, maybe some parents are too harsh, maybe some parents are like big stones and are full of good things to their children but teach him badly. But no matter what kind of parents are, their love for their children is always selfless. No expectation, just dedication, until the day when the chicks grow up and fly freely. Even if the distance is far away, even if there is little contact, the hearts of parents are still on the side of the children.
Xiao Shi stood in the flames that kept changing colors, looking at Tang Ge with a smile and not speaking.
Tang Ge asked him, "What are you doing?" ”
Little Stone just laughs.
Tang Ge asked again: "What the hell is going on with all this!" ”
Little Stone still laughs.
Tang Ge said: "Why did I become you? ”
Little Stone smiled even brighter, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
Tang Ge felt very annoyed, although he felt that he shouldn't treat a child like this, he still yelled at Xiao Shi: "I want to go back!" ”
Xiao Shi waved his hand at Tang Ge and said, "Help me take care of him." ”
Tang Ge only realized at this time that his small body belonged to this little doll called Little Stone. He is the troublemaker of the tribe and the heart of Big Stone. The little stone is gone now, but he occupies his body, why is the person who should have stayed gone, but the self who should not be here has been left in this primitive society?
Tang Ge still couldn't figure it out.
The flames of changing colors became smaller and smaller, and the little stones jumped away in the flames, and gradually, the flames were extinguished, and the little stones were gone.
Tang Ge woke up, and when he woke up, he saw the big stone he was waiting anxiously for, and at that moment, he felt a strong sense of admiration in his heart! This made Tang Ge very angry, he knew that it was Xiao Shi's body that was doing the trick. "Lao Tzu is Tang Ge, not a small stone! Lao Tzu's son is not much younger than your son! But Lao Tzu is much older than you little brat! Tang Ge roared in his heart, but the tears couldn't stop flowing. Tang Ge wanted to tell all this, but he didn't have the courage to tell Da Shi that his son was dead, let alone tell others that he was just borrowing a corpse to resurrect his soul, and that he was another person entirely. After struggling in my heart for a long time, I only held back one sentence: "Big rock, let's go home."
