After dinner.

Qiu Lanzhi is still holding her husband's hand, and that unchanged posture seems to have become a frozen picture in the eyes of the young couple, sad and moving.

Because Tao Qisheng, who is getting sicker day by day, is already about to reach the point where he doesn't eat, drink, or eats soup.

Liu Xingmei brought a red brazier into the ground and placed it on the ground, and an ethereal heat wave gradually spread in the deserted room space. She touched the kang and said, "The kang is hot, and the house is warm, so I put a few big pieces of wood in the stove." ”

Tao Zhenkun was thinking: Dad, can you still feel the warmth? How much time can I feel about it?

Tears welled up in his eyes.

During the meal, Liu Xingmei almost forced her mother-in-law to eat a few bites of food. She said: "Mother, if you don't eat and get sick again, I'm afraid that double coffin will really come in handy!" ”

These words were not blamed by Tao Zhenkun.

The night grew deeper.

"Go to sleep!" The mother, who could no longer speak easily, suddenly spoke.

Tao Zhenkun looked at his father who was lying there as if he was sleeping peacefully, and his heart was sad. He couldn't guess that the New Year would be in two days, and whether his father, who was still struggling to survive, would be able to support the past! According to his father, he also used a donkey to take his mother to the Tao family. According to her mother, there is no one in her mother's family, and within a few years after she got married, there was a famine in the village, the old grandmother had already died, the grandfather was frozen and starved to death, and the elder brother fled with his wife and children, and his whereabouts are still unknown to this day. Now that the "Peach Blossom Village" has been occupied by the Japanese, will this be the real situation? The mother also said that my father's craft was taught by my grandfather, but I never heard him mention it from my father's mouth. Perhaps, when you mention the unbearable past, you will touch the pain buried in the memory in your heart! This is just like he never wants to mention his grandfather and grandmother who died young but early, not because of his son's injustice, but because he buried his nostalgia for his parents deep in his heart!

Suffering is not uncommon, and it is frequent in backward countries and poor families!

And he, as the son of man, has lacked emotional communication with his parents in ordinary days for many years, because of his taciturn personality and stingy language, and in the eyes of outsiders, he seems to be the kind of clumsy and stupid person who "can't press the fart", but he is not the kind of person who is proud of his talents and is lonely and self-appreciative. is like this in front of his parents, let alone in front of others, and the nickname "fool" makes him even more sullen. He doesn't have Liu Xingmei's calmness, and although the nickname about "shrew" is not as easy for her to like as Laurel, he won't bother to worry about it. Since he was a child, he lacked friends of his age to make friends, except for Miao Yunchang, who was impressed by his stuffy gourd. And his friend, who was treated as a younger brother, gave his brother a green hat, so that the ghosts of the dead could not sleep in the ground! Nowadays, he can only speak freely in front of Liu Xingmei, and he can strongly express the charm of language.

Because during the New Year's holidays, Dad always went to the grave of his grandmother and grandpa early to burn the paper, which is enough to prove that Dad has not forgotten his parents and relatives who have nurtured him! As for his grandfather, there is still no news, and his life and death are uncertain (how would he know that under his father's tight-lipped mouth, grandpa has been buried in the "Ghost Valley")!

And now, seeing my father walking away from him every day, every night, every minute, and every second, but he is powerless to keep it, how sad it is! Dad is a thrifty and simple person, and he usually has to do the trivial things in the family himself, but how long can he, the pillar of the family, rely on and support him? !

He was shocked to realize that only the law of a peaceful and harmonious life is an important condition for the normal maintenance of the happy order of the family, but since his father's illness, his mother has also been dragged down day and night under the sadness and haggardness, and this kind of routine life is like being reversed and pressed in the wrong position, and he can no longer grasp a ray of good time in the past. In this way, he can't help but feel confused and helpless in a panic!

"Quack-quack-"

The night owl (owl) outside the window began to cry again in the trees outside the courtyard, and the unpleasant sound made people feel panicked when they heard it, and it had been barking endlessly in the trees around it for several nights in the last few days.

Mother hates this bird the most, because in the traditional thinking of the Chinese, night owls give people the impression of being as abominable as ghosts and devils, and encountering it will not bring people good luck. As the saying goes: the night owl enters the house - nothing does not come, although it does not enter the house, but this unwelcome uninvited guest is so stubbornly pestering and uninvited. On several occasions he went outside and threw stones at the trees to drive him away, but he followed with his front feet and his back feet, like a ghost collecting debts! He hated it so much that he really wanted to kill it with one shot, but he was reluctant to waste a precious bullet, and Wu He advised him not to kill again in the future.

It seems that it is this helpless connivance that fuels the arrogance of this ugly evil bird!

Although the night owl is a common bird in this mountain village, and can be seen everywhere all year round, it will naturally cause disgust when it patronizes the home of the seriously ill, and even indicates that bad omen is coming, and people are very superstitious!

Yesterday, due to the frequent visits of night owls, Qiu Lanzhi finally spoke in irritation.

"On this snowy day, how can you not starve to death this hateful thing?!"

The mother, who was usually the kindest, also put aside the bodhisattva's heart and began to curse, although she was Korean, she also learned about Chinese customs.

Angered, he couldn't bear it anymore, this damn guy repeatedly provoked his tolerant bottom line, which was undoubtedly joking with his own life, he said fiercely: "I'll shoot it with a gun!" ”

Liu Xingmei on the side did not express her position.

At this time, I didn't expect my father to speak, and he said in a low voice: "Slow! ”

"Daddy!" He hurriedly put his head to his father's mouth to listen.

Dad opened his eyes with great difficulty, looked at him through the gap, closed them again, and said in his mouth: "The devil is born from the heart, don't worry about it, if it can escape this snow disaster, it will not be easy to escape death." ”

"Hey! Listen to you. ”

It was the father's kindness that allowed the life of that hateful night owl to continue.

"Mother, something calls us." Liu Xingmei glanced at Tao Zhenkun.

They returned to Westinghouse, and both of them were very depressed and heavy, stingy with words.

There was no light, Tao Zhenkun didn't take off his clothes and shoes, he pulled the pillow and quilt and rushed out along the kang feet and lay down.

"You're not going to sleep?"

"I'm waiting for the wolf to come."

"Will it come?"

"Maybe!"

Tao Zhenkun covered his head with a quilt.

Liu Xingmei was stunned, but took off her shoes, pulled the pillow and quilt, and lay down along Tao Zhenkun's clothes.

When she heard Tao Zhenkun's whispered sobs from the quilt, she stepped forward and hugged him and comforted: "Don't be too sad, everything is God's will, and God's will cannot be violated!" ”

But she choked up, too.

Soon after they fell asleep, they heard the black tiger scream.
