Every morning under the black canopy, when only a faint pale is revealed, a woman carries a hoe and a bamboo basket in her hand and walks to her farmland. Lei Zhen, who grows strong and solid, makes people like it at first glance, lies in the world made of bamboo baskets and sleeps soundly; And behind this woman, two thin and short little girls, one holding a jug and dry food for lunch, and the other holding a small shovel, followed closely behind the mother.

It was not until the darkness of the sky once again covered the sky that such a strange team would return to their home in the night, and the smoke would slowly rise above the small mud-brick house.

On the field stalk, in that big bamboo basket, Lei Zhen listened to the whispering of crickets, sniffed the mountain breeze that gently swept over and brought the most primitive fragrance, and slowly grew up day by day.

"Zhen'er is almost old, this child is growing up so fast, that bamboo basket is almost unable to hold him."

Putting down the hoe in her hand, Lei Zhen's mother stretched her waist, which had been faintly sore from long-term labor, wiped the sweat from her forehead with a towel, and slowly walked to the field stalk head with a large bamboo basket and a jug. Only when she looks at her son who is getting stronger and stronger, this woman who looks a lot older because of the premature loss of her husband, and even has a few strands of gray hair on her forehead, will have a happy smile on her face.

When Lei Zhen's mother turned her head to look at her son who was sleeping in the bamboo basket, her eyes widened suddenly, her hands loosened, and the porcelain bowl in her hand fell on a protruding stone, making a "bang" sound.

At this time, Lei Zhen's mother was trembling all over, because what she saw was an empty bamboo basket, and her son was gone!

She obviously tied her son to a bamboo basket with a string, and with the strength of a baby who was less than a year old, it was impossible to break free from the string. Looking at the thin rope hanging upside down in the bamboo basket, I don't know what to tear in two, Lei Zhen's mother suddenly ran back and forth like crazy, she carefully turned over the grass, she searched all the nearby locations that might hide a child, but she found nothing, her son who was less than a year old was really gone!

I only felt that her legs were weak, Lei Zhen's mother involuntarily fell to the ground, she sat there stupidly for five minutes, and then suddenly shouted loudly with a voice that was more than seven points vibrato and three points crying: "Where are you big girl, second girl, come back quickly, your brother has lost ......"

The heart-rending screams echoed repeatedly on the hillside, and the two little girls who were digging wild vegetables on the opposite side of the hillside glanced at each other, and together they threw away the shovel in their hands and the small bamboo basket that had not yet been filled with wild vegetables, and ran over as if they were flying. Looking at the mother whose face was covered with sweat and tears, and the bamboo basket that was empty and disappeared even the bedding spread at the bottom, the two little girls were as dumbfounded as their mothers.

After wandering around stupidly for several hours with her two daughters, this woman, who suddenly lost her son, only felt that her legs were like stepping on cotton, and no longer had any strength, suddenly came to her senses and shouted to her daughter: "Big girl, go back and ask the village chief to come and help!" ”

The village chief led a group of villagers to the field, and after carefully observing the marks around the bamboo basket, the village chief sighed softly, pointed to a series of footprints, and whispered: "The child was taken away by a wolf." ”

The village chief looked at the woman who had been completely frightened, and the whole person was like having lost three souls and seven souls, and stood there in a daze, he let out a light sigh and said to the villagers around him: "Inform the people in the village to prepare, and everyone who can help will come out to find the child." ”

In this isolated mountain village, almost all the villagers are out together, and they are walking in groups through the mountains, and even at night you can see pine oil torches constantly swaying on the slopes. Some villagers with more flexible minds even brought a rattle, which children like to play with the most, and shook the toy in their hands while looking around, hoping that when Xiao Lei Zhen heard it, he would be able to respond even if it was a cry.

The people of the entire small mountain village searched for three days and three nights in the surrounding mountains, and when they finally came back one after another, in the face of Lei Zhen's mother's eyes full of hope and hope, these villagers whose bodies were covered with blades of grass and scratches on their bodies shook their heads wordlessly, and Lei Zhen's mother's face became more and more pale.

When the last group of villagers returned to this small mountain village empty-handed, they lowered their heads in the face of the woman who no longer had any blood on their faces, and followed the neighbors like crazy, and ran in the mountains for three days and three nights without a grain of rice.

"The child is ...... father"

Only said four words, Lei Zhen's mother was already in tears, she suddenly went crazy and hit the ground hard, she screamed: "I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for your Lei family, I lost the child!" I'm useless, I'm really useless, how could I put the child there and let the wolf take the child away...... In this way, how can I have the face to see you, how can I have the face to meet my father and mother, and to meet the ancestors of the Lei family! ”

Everyone stared blankly at the woman who had lost all hope and strength in her life, and even had no strength to stand up, no one spoke, in fact, everyone did not know what to say at this time, because they all knew very well what it meant to a widow who had lost her only son. Cry loudly, go home and sleep with the quilt on her head for three days and three nights, no matter how you want to continue, she will always recover slowly. If she is lucky, she can even take her two daughters and remarry a man who may be poor or have small flaws in his body, but he is honest and loyal and willing to treat his two daughters well.

But soon, Lei Zhen's mother's crying suddenly stopped.

She reached out and wiped away the sweat, tears, and snot from her face, and slowly stood up. She looked at the village chief and asked, "Didn't the whole village find Lei Zhen, nor did they find the bedding wrapped around him?" ”

"Yes."

Seeing Lei Zhen's mother nodded, she took her two daughters and walked to the village reflexively, for fear that this woman would do something stupid, the village chief asked urgently: "Sister of the Lei family, what are you going to do?" ”

Lei Zhen's mother sniffed hard and replied, "Go home and cook sweet potatoes!" ”

"Huh?"

This is an absolutely surprising answer, everyone present widened their eyes, opened their mouths wide, and looked at the back of Lei Zhen's mother blankly, the woman who couldn't support her body at all just now, at this time, actually tried to straighten her waist again, she inhaled the slightest cool air, and said softly: "If my son was really taken away by a wolf, the little bedding wrapped around him would never be eaten together, right?" We didn't find the bedding, so it's likely that my son is still alive. Even if he was really eaten by wolves, even if he only had one bone left, I would get him back! ”

Her voice is very soft, but when a mother has no way to retreat, the heavenly surname of defending her child has been completely stimulated, and there is already a kind of perseverance in her voice that can almost divide gold and stone.

When the smoke of the long-lost cooking stove rose again over the mud-brick hut, the people of the village, looking at the hut, had a trace of indescribable admiration...... This woman is fighting! She's fighting against her fate, she's fighting against her son's fate, which may have been predestined for a long time!
