Chapter 4: The Silent Baby
The clenched teeth, the sharp pain already made her feel numb. This last half of the vow will be fulfilled even if you die standing like this! She seemed to see the shadow of her sister in the clenched hands she was looking at. Yes! Her sister also stood like her, trying her best to give birth to a baby until she died!
The back of the cow is terrible for women, and it is the ghost gate for women to give birth to babies. Although she had also witnessed how her sister had died on the back of a cow, she had prepared for the worst! She believes that even if the cow takes her, it will never take away her baby! She's going to give birth to her baby! She's going to make her baby grow! She wants her baby to marry and have children, and inherit the incense for her man!
The women of the tunmin are not afraid of death! In the past hundreds of years, I don't know how many aunts have changed their lives for the baby in their womb. I don't know how many babies there are, and they have lost their aunt who they have never met. But it is precisely because of these Tunmin women that their children and grandchildren have been able to support the Tun people! There are now Tun people living in the old forest of Daxing Yunshan!
Xin Laosan outside the house was anxious, walking back and forth around the house. The calf sat in the doorway, rubbing his hands back and forth. From time to time, the noise of women could still be heard in the room, and a faint snow gradually drifted in the clear sky.
"I'm working hard!"
"Grandma Fu, hurry up! Hurry up! The sister-in-law of the Xin family is about to fall! ”
"Come out! It's out! It's coming out! ”
"Quick! Hurry up and help the little lady of the Xin family! ”
"Ahh
As the cries of the cries in the house again, the noisy woman's voice also disappeared. Xin Laosan hurriedly stood at the door of the wooden house, and the calf squatting at the door also hurriedly stood up.
The door of the "crunch" wooden house was opened by the Niu family's mother-in-law.
Xin Laosan strode into the house without saying a word, and he didn't go to see Grandma Fu who was holding the baby for the first time. Instead, he walked a few steps and came to the side of the kang where the juanzi was half-lying. The mother-in-law of the Liu family was holding the half-lying juan on the side, and looked at Xin Laosan, who came close with a concerned face.
"Sister of the Liu family, thank you for my third child!" Xin Laosan said to the mother-in-law of the Liu family who was holding the juanzi
The mother-in-law of the Liu family tilted her head slightly: "Okay!" Alright! Third Brother Xin, we are not outsiders, we are all in the same tun. is saying that the sister-in-law of the Xin family is my good sister, this is all as it should be! Thank you? ”
The mother-in-law of the Liu family looked at the juanzi who was half-nestled in her arms: "I said that the third brother of the Xin family, the sister-in-law of the Xin family can give up her life for this baby!" You have to treat my sister-in-law well in the future, it's really not easy for her to give birth to this baby! ”
As the mother-in-law of the Liu family spoke, she remembered the process of the Xin family's sister-in-law giving birth to a baby. I couldn't help but think of the juanzi, who almost got on the back of a cow for this baby. As soon as his eyes were red, he choked up a little. She really didn't expect that the sister-in-law of the Xin family could bear it so much. I carried it for so long, and I didn't give up the baby in my belly. When he couldn't give birth to a baby, he chose to go on the back of a cow and exchange his life for a baby!
At this time, because of the long-term consumption, the juan had already made her almost lose half of her life. Her pale face was full of exhaustion, but her slightly closed eyes were shining with a strange brilliance. She finally fulfilled the vow she once made, and she finally gave birth to a baby that her sister failed to give birth to. She finally gave birth to her man's baby, although she still doesn't know if the baby is male or female. Because at the moment of giving birth to the baby, the experienced Grandma Fu was very quick and took the baby into the roe deer mattress prepared in advance and hugged it aside. Therefore, even the sister of the Liu family, who helped her to the bed to rest, and the sister of the Niu family, who went to open the door, did not have time to take a quick look at the baby who was held by Grandma Fu.
"Why don't you scream?" The mother-in-law of the Liu family, who was a little puzzled, thought of something.
Xin Laosan also felt strange, why didn't this baby move? I was too worried about my own woman just now, and I didn't take a look at the baby who was held by Mrs. Fu. When he turned to look at Fu Pozi, who was holding the baby, he found that the calf and his mother-in-law who loved to babble the most were all around Fu Pozi and did not speak.
Xin Laosan immediately felt that something was wrong, and at this time, the calf also turned his head to look at them.
I saw a calf who didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and couldn't even speak clearly: "The third and third brothers, this baby, this baby, this baby, this he"
Xin Laosan didn't wait for the calf to continue muttering so intermittently. I walked a few steps away, holding the baby's Fu Pozi in front of me. Fu Pozi hugged the baby and looked at him, and the face of the dried orange peel was even deeper because of the frowning. Xin Laosan didn't wait for Mrs. Fu to speak, he opened the corner of the baby's leather mattress with a light hand. When I looked at the mattress like this, my heart suddenly felt a sigh!
Inside the mattress was a small, wrinkled face that hadn't grown yet. The little face is not Hongfufu's, but a miserable white without a trace of blood! looked at his baby's little face without a trace of blood. Xin Laosan already knew in his heart that this baby was already dead. I'm afraid that before Juan Zi gave birth to him, this baby had already died in his mother's belly.
Xin Laosan's hand that lifted the corner of the mattress trembled slightly at this time. He didn't know why this thief wanted to torture him like this! His first mother-in-law, Juanzi's sister, died on the back of a cow before giving birth to a baby. Now in order to give birth to a baby for him, Juan Zi almost got on the back of a cow. In the end, I finally gave birth to this baby. This baby is still out of breath! Could it be that he Xin Laosan is destined to never have a queen for the rest of his life? He Xin Laosan is destined to be cut off from his children and grandchildren!
Xin Laosan stood on the spot like petrified, he suddenly thought of the juan who was still lying on the bed, how should he say it to his own woman who was almost on the back of a cow for this baby?
He actually always had a feeling of guilt in his heart. Because when Juanzi's sister was still alive, he once promised Juanzi's sister that when Juan Zi grew up, he would personally find a good man for Juanzi. When Juanzi's sister died, he always remembered what he had promised to his woman. In this way, he watched the juanzi grow up day by day, from a little girl to a handsome girl. When he was growing up, he paid attention to a lot of old forest men when he went out hunting.
But what he didn't expect was that Juan Zi would climb onto his kang on the night he ate wine. He didn't take advantage of the cuckoo to eat and drink, climbed on his kang to find a reason to convince himself that all this was not his fault. Because if you don't eat alcohol, you won't have a cuckoo, so it's all your fault!
That night he slept with his dead mother-in-law's sister, that night he frantically asked for the body of the juanzi, and that night he thought of her in a daze. He knew that Juan Zi had always been haunted by what Daddy didn't say when he left. He also knew that Juan Zi did this to give birth to the baby that her sister failed to give birth to. He knew that he really owed Juan Zi, and that Juan Zi had died with his sister. Therefore, he will be good to Juan Zi for the rest of his life, because Juan Zi is already his third woman.
"Be the head of the house, my baby! What's wrong! ”
Xin Laosan listened to the somewhat hurried inquiry from behind him. He didn't answer immediately, but took the leather mattress wrapped in the baby's hand with both hands. He can't turn back! He can't let his own woman see the dead baby in his arms! Although this is too cruel to the weak Juan who has just given birth to a baby! But he Xin Laosan had to do it!
"Juanzi, the baby is gone." Xin Laosan said lightly.
Suddenly, all but the gasps of the crowd could be heard in the room. Hearing his master's reply, Juan Zi fell into the arms of the Liu family's mother-in-law. With big eyes, he looked at the back of his man. The mother-in-law of the Liu family could feel the slight trembling of the juanzi who was half leaning on her arms. At this time, her eyes were already full of tears, and her hands holding the sister-in-law of the Xin family were much tighter.
"Calves." Xin Lao Sandao
The calf who was a little stunned hurried: "Third brother! ”
Xin Laosan: "Let's go with my brother." ”
The calf immediately knew that Third Brother Xin was going to bury his own baby. Immediately, without saying a word, he left the house and went to his house. He's going back to his house to get the shovel guy. Before he left the house, he also deliberately glanced at his mother-in-law with red eyes. The mother-in-law of the Niu family nodded at the calf that was looking at her, and did not say anything. She knew that the calf wanted her to accompany the sister-in-law of the Xin family well.
As soon as the calf walked out of the house, the cry of the sister-in-law of the Xin family came from the house. He ran up and ran to his house in a short time, and there was still the sound of the girl talking and laughing. The calf opened the door and walked in, only to see that his eldest girl and second girl, as well as Liu Mazi's finches, were there. Liu Mazi's face is a monkey spirit, and he has not returned to the Niushi Fang twenty miles away. Therefore, when the mother-in-law of the Liu family gave birth to a baby in the sister-in-law of the Xin family, she left her baby at his house to stay with the eldest girl and the second girl.
The eldest girl, who was more than seven years old, saw that her father was back, but her father's face was not good. The sensible eldest girl hurriedly shut up the second girl and the finch who were still laughing. The calf didn't say anything, but found the hoe and shovel at home and was about to go out.
"Daddy! Dad! Why don't you say a word and leave again! ”
The second girl's words came from behind the calf, and the calf turned his head to look at his second girl. The three-year-old second girl is most like her aunt, and her little mouth has been the master of the moment since she could speak. But he still likes his second girl very much, and because she is his youngest daughter.
The somewhat shy Liu Mazi's finch stood behind Erya'er: "Uncle Calf"
The calf glanced at the second girl, and the finch turned her head and looked at the eldest girl: "Big girl, take a good look at the two sisters in the house." Daddy is out. ”
"Daddy, Auntie"
Before the eldest girl could finish speaking, the calf closed the door. At this time, Xin Laosan had also come over. The calf didn't say anything, he followed behind the third brother and carried the hoe and shovel out of the tunzi.
