Chapter 59: Demons or Angels
The fire that burned the old lady with the cat's face gradually went out at dusk, and the spectators slowly went home to make a fire and cook, and no one noticed that a headless cat corpse was slowly coming from behind the extinguished fire. The residual temperature of the fire cooled down under the cool evening breeze, and suddenly a strong wind blew and the ashes were scattered. At the bottom of the ashes was a tanuki's face, and the cat corpse approached the cat's face, but for a moment the face seemed to come to life, sticking to the cat's neck, and then the cat corpse lost its original vitality, and became a dry skin, and even the bones could not be found. The cat's face slowly drifted into the distance·····
The cat's face stopped in front of a dilapidated thatched house, and the creaking door looked particularly desolate in the bleak autumn wind. An old woman on the bed inside the door kept coughing, and the thin quilt on her body was already in tatters, and she couldn't even cover her feet. It seems that I am a little tired of coughing, and I want to reach for the bowl on the table, but unfortunately the distance is a little farther, and I try to reach out but it is still a little bit close. "Bang Dang" fell to the ground, and the room was so shabby that there was almost nothing left but a table, and the old woman's children did not know where they were.
The cat's face was about to fly forward, and it turned out to be the old lady in advance, so that she could have a suitable body. In the distance, there was a faint sound of conversation, coming this way.
"I said, you just listen to me and take good care of your mother for a few days, anyway, she won't live for a few days, after getting her favor, are you afraid that you won't be able to get the good things she hides?"
"It's good to ask her directly, and she wasted so many days of time, running so far to take care of this old woman, and I don't know how much money I can make in the past few days."
"Oh, you're not stupid, what's the good of tearing your face with her directly, and then the neighbors don't know what gossip is going to gossip"
"I just don't think there's a need to waste this time, she's just a son like me, and when I ask her, if there are any good things that I can't leave for me, I really don't know what you think."
"You believe me, you're right. You don't know your mother's stubborn temper yet, if you really bring it into the soil, don't tell anyone, and then you can cry at the same time."
"Okay, okay, I believe you can't make it, after all, you are also going to be my child's mother, I don't believe who you still believe" After the man finished speaking, he touched his wife's belly, which was not yet pregnant, as if he had grown up a little more!
The two talked as they walked, and the woman entered the house and saw that the old woman was struggling to drink water, so she hurriedly ran into the house in three steps and two steps, picked up the tea bowl and gave it to her, and helped her back to the bed after drinking the water, covered it with a broken quilt, and the thin man glanced at the tattered quilt, and then stood silently aside.
"Oh, Mom, you see that you are so sick, and I don't know how to ask the neighbor to run to us, we will come and take care of you" The old woman heard this, coughed even more, and shook her head with a wry smile, "All these years have passed, where do I dare to take care of you two to take care of my old wife?"
"Mom, look at what you said, how can the filial piety of the son and daughter-in-law be less, mainly because I was too busy to come over before, Mom, you see that you are still angry" and beckoned to her husband, "Come over quickly, apologize to our mother, how did you behave as a son"
As soon as the thin man heard that he was going to apologize, he almost didn't rush over, and when he saw his wife pointing to her stomach towards him, he glanced at the old woman again, and suddenly changed his face, "Mom, it's the son who is not filial and didn't come to take care of you, but you don't know, the burden of raising the family on the son is heavy, there are two children and a wife at home, and now there is one in the stomach, but you have to work hard to make money, where is the time to come, Xiufen also has a job, and she is usually busy, and she really can't spare time, you see, this is not a time to come."
The old woman's face was a little worse, and what she said was better than what she sang, hum.
In the next few days, these two people did their best to take care of them. It's just that on the fifth day, the man finally couldn't help it and secretly pulled his wife aside, "If you continue to stay like this, Dabao and Erbao are estimated to starve to death at home, this old woman is taken care of by us like this, maybe it's possible, then we will lose more than we gain, think of a way"
"Don't worry, I've added something to her meals in the past few days, and I won't survive tonight."
"
