The sun shone down from the sky, shining on the mother and son, and behind them, two long shadows looked very thin.

Suddenly, a tall figure blocked their way, and the five-year-old calf raised his head and saw a familiar figure in his dazzling eyes, it was Mu Debiao, the Mu Debiao who was usually called a miser.

Mu Debiao relied on his huge size, and he was very arrogant in front of the calf, the calf was puzzled, and he raised his head and asked childishly: "Uncle Debiao, do you have something to do with us?" ”

Mu Debiao seems to have forgotten his identity as an adult, he stretched out his hand to snatch the rations of the two of them in the calf's hand today, although the calf is kind and mellow by nature, but he is not a fool, he knows that this bit of food is not enough for him and his mother to eat, how can there be excess to share with others.

So in the struggle, the calf squatted down, covered the fish basket on his chest, held it firmly with his hand, and the whole person lay on it, and kept shouting: "Uncle Debiao, next time I catch more, I will definitely share you, but not today, it's too little, my mother and I haven't eaten for a day." ”

Stupid and stupid Hui Ting until his son was lying on the ground, and Mu Debiao had already ridden on him viciously, although his brain was very confused, but at this moment, with the instinct of a mother, he could also know that his child was being bullied, so he screamed and rushed to Mu Debiao like a madman, scratching and scratching him.

A madman doesn't know how to be afraid, and he won't have any scruples, so in the blink of an eye, before Mu Debiao could react, his face was already scarred, and the hairpin on his head didn't know where it had fallen, and his long hair was draped over his chest and back, looking more like a madman.

Hui Ting's crazy behavior angered Mu Debiao, he gave up the calf on the ground, grabbed Hui Ting's hair and slammed into the tree, only to hear a loud bang, the leaves on the tree fell in a flutter, and then there was another sound.

The screams resounded in the sky, and before the calf could stop it, Mu Debiao had already thrown it away, only to hear a snap, the water splashed, and the skinny mother had fallen into the river.

In my impression, my mother doesn't know how to water, the waterhole in front of me is very deep, if there is no help from others, there is no doubt that he will die, the calf can no longer take care of his own food, he put down the fish box, and rushed into the river at once.

In the fluttering water, in his spare light, Mu Debiao very comfortably picked up the fish basket on the ground, then smiled coldly at them, and disappeared into the sunlight.

After a long time, the calf panted and pulled his mother from the river to the shore, his strength was too small, and the mother was afraid of the constant struggle in the water, so the calf had no way to start, and in the end he dragged her up desperately until his mother was choked by the water and fainted.

Lying side by side with his mother on the river, the calf slowed down for a long time before finally exhaling heavily, the white clouds in the sky drifted by, and the smell of food faintly came from the air, and it was time to eat, but...

The calf swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned his head and looked into the village, in the direction of the village entrance, Mu Debiao had already packed up the fish he snatched, dried them on bamboo poles and made dried fish, and next to him, the people in the village were eating and chatting with rice bowls, as if they could not see the existence of the calf mother and child in their eyes, in fact, the distance between them and the calf was simply dozens of steps.

In the past, because of the existence of the father in the family, so the calf lived carefree, although he knew that the neighbors always bullied their family, but because the father was in front, so these hardships, these grievances, these sadness are the father is silently bearing, and now, the father is gone, if the mother is a one- or two-year-old naughty child, he is naturally on the cusp, and it is only at this time that he really understands the meaning of the word bullying.

Although almost no one wanted to play with him before, and they didn't want to take care of themselves, but Maverick thought, at least he also lived in this village, was one of them, and he thought that as long as he was good to them, his uncles and uncles would always change their opinions about him, although until now Maverick still believed that sincerity could move each other, but the process was really difficult.

Thinking of this, the calf's petite and thin body, which was completely wrapped in wet clothes, trembled like chaff, and finally he cried out, and the cry resounded through the sky, but this terrible cry did not attract the attention of others except for waking up the mother's crying, maybe in their eyes, the calf's family was actually a superfluous object, and it didn't matter if there was or not.

In the evening, seeing that his mother was so hungry that the calf had to boil a bowl of water and serve it to his mother, although the mother drank it in front of the calf, but when he saw her running around the house, he knew that his mother was very hungry, in fact, he himself was not the same, his whole body had no strength, and he sat on the ground with his body oblique.

"Mother, Daddy passed away a few days ago, I always thought that Daddy passed away and they would always feel some guilt because of it, but now it doesn't seem to be the case, they still bully us, I even think they want us to die, Mother, we can't die, Daddy always says that I am the only bloodline of our Zhang family, I can't be broken like this, once I die, Daddy will definitely be very sad in the Netherworld." The little cow said this to his mother like a mature adult, I don't know if it was because of the rough days or because he was born smart, he felt that his current behavior was not much different from that of the fifteen-year-old Mu Tuo in the village, and other children of the same age in the village were actually similar to their mothers in his eyes.

The mother naturally didn't understand, but he knew that his son was talking to him, and in order to make her son happy, she listened quietly with her eyes wide open, and in the night, she seemed very fascinated, as if she had heard a beautiful story.

The wind whined through the village, and the breeze blew with some hair-like rain, and the calf, after arranging for his mother to sleep, took his father's fishing net and went out, although he knew that the night was dangerous, and that his father had drowned in the river at night, but in the case of the day, if he had sat at home with his mother and waited to die, he would have to wait to starve to death.

"I can't die, I want to live well, I'm the only bloodline left by my father in this world, I'm a man, I'm not afraid of anything." The small figure stood in the rain to cheer himself up, and then in the faint light of the fire, the figure seemed to grow taller and taller, and strode into the rain.

In the dark night, the river made a roaring sound, the wind blew through the valley and whimpered, and occasionally the shadows of birds flickered their wings overhead, and the calf trembled with fright, this was the first time he came out alone in the middle of the night, looking at the dark shadows everywhere, he would think of the ghost stories that his father usually told, so his hair stood up unconsciously, but what was it, if they didn't come out today, they would be ghosts next.

Before he knew it, he came to the deep pool where my father had stumbled, the water was deeper, but there were enough fish, big enough, that the fish tended to hide next to the aquatic weeds, and he only had to put the net down and wait for the fish to enter the net.

The calf sighed deeply, stuck his torch in the mud by the river, and began to take off his shoes and lower the net, just then a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, followed by a deafening thunderclap that shook the ground.

The calf was so frightened by the sudden thunder that he jumped up and almost fell into the river, and when he stabilized his figure, he suddenly seemed to see a figure, and in the light of the torches, he saw the sound and shadow of his father.

Although the voice was somewhat transparent, the calf was sure that it was Daddy, and he walked to the river with a basket of fish on his back as if he had not seen the calf, and like the calf, he stuck the torch in the mud, and then took out the one he had with him

Fishing nets began to lay nets to catch fish.

At this moment, the calf was not afraid anymore, he even trotted a few steps to Daddy's side, and then cried and threw himself at him, but he didn't catch anything, and Daddy was like a shadow, and the calf passed through this shadow like that.

Xiao Niu turned around and shouted at Zhang Lao Er in confusion: "Daddy, is it you?" What happened to you? ”

There was no echo, and the daddy in front of him was like he didn't see everything around him, as if he didn't see a calf doing his job alone, busy in the water with a fishing net.

At this moment, several more figures appeared on the embankment, and the calf was startled, and immediately hid behind a boulder on the edge of the riverbed, and then peeked out secretly.

Walking from the embankment were Mu Debiao and his younger brother Mu Deping, but the figures of these two people were also very strange, just like their father, they were translucent.

The two stood on the embankment and said something to each other, then Mu Debiao pointed into the river, and finally the two looked at each other and smiled at the river, opening their mouths as if shouting. The whole process felt like a puppet show performed by an artist from the countryside that he had seen before, without any sound.

Father, who was busy in the river, seemed to hear the sound above, he raised his head and saw that it was the two Mu Debiao brothers, and then he was frightened, and a live fish in his hand fell into the water again, at this moment, the Mu Debiao brothers went down to the river, and went to get the fish in the basket while saying something, looking very angry.

Daddy naturally stopped, and then the two of them punched and kicked Daddy, but the honest Daddy didn't fight back, just squatted by the river with his head and let them punch wildly, but no matter how they fought, Daddy didn't give up on the legs. between the fish baskets.

In the end, the two of them got angry and pushed their father into the river together, and then went to grab the fish basket, but because the father was very healthy because he had been dealing with the water for a long time, not only did he not let them grab the fish basket, but let the Mu Debiao brothers fall into the river.

Daddy, who came back to his senses, felt that he seemed to be in trouble, and turned around to leave, but the two Mu Debiao brothers, who had already gotten up in the river, were already angry, and Mu Deping was even more inattentive to Daddy Zhang, who rushed to a stone next to him and smashed it at Daddy Zhang, but Daddy's head was biased, and he didn't open his head, but hit his back, and Zhang Lao Er snorted and fell straight into the river and fainted.

The two Mu Debiao brothers looked back at their father who fell into the river because of fainting, and they didn't pay attention to it, but poured out all the fish in the basket very plainly, wrapped them in clothes and took them away, these two figures disappeared on the river, and then the father in the water also disappeared.

The calf stood by the river and looked stupidly, and after a long time, he suddenly exhaled and woke up from his trance, although he was young, but he still understood what had just happened, just like the scene he saw locusts in the wind, rain, thunder and lightning, this scene of Daddy was just a reproduction of the scene of Daddy's murder that night.

This also solved a mystery in the calf's heart, why his father, who had always been very good at water, was drowned in the water, and now he understands that he was drowned unconscious after being knocked unconscious by Mu Deping.

The neighbors usually bully him, but he wants to take his father's life, the life of the hungry and kind man who has been thinking about how to help the neighbors survive the winter, thinking of this, tears have blurred the calf's face again, but at the same time there are not only tears, but also more and more hatred, he shouted into the water: "Daddy, you told me before you died, killing people will pay for their lives, I must let them pay for their lives." ”

Lightning pierced the night sky again, once again illuminating the petite body by the river, but this time it was not horror or confusion on his face, but an expressionless grudge and hatred.

Everyone
