Seize this demon and divide their food."

A voice sounded in the crowd, followed by a sea of people swarming, Zhang Lao Er immediately protected his wife and calf like a hen, but what he didn't expect was that almost everyone ran in the direction of the warehouse, and Zhang Lao Er wanted to stop it, but these nearly 100 people were like a torrent, which scared him out of the way.

Looking at a bag of grain being resisted one after another, Zhang Lao Er knelt on the ground and cried frantically for mercy, but no one listened to him, people's excitement has reached the extreme, and Zhang Lao Er's stupid wife Hui Ting will only hide in a corner with the child in her arms, in his eyes there may not be a concept of the importance of food, but he knows the importance of the child to her, that is her everything, is her life, so as long as no one touches the calf, she will be peaceful in the world.

Under the auspices of the patriarch, in less than half an hour, Zhang Laoer's house was robbed, not only food and fish, but even some furniture was taken away by whom, looking at the empty home, Zhang Laoer had already cried dry tears, dying in the corner of the wall, with empty eyes.

The five-year-old calf didn't know what was going on, was it wrong for him to say that there were locusts, or why were the uncles and uncles so angry, they were worried that the neighbors would have a hard time in this winter, and they wanted to share some food with everyone, but now, all the food was snatched away by them, and not even a grain of rice was left for the calf's family.

Is this the case between people, does it not distinguish between good and evil, if you are good to others, aren't others also good to you, don't these uncles and uncles take all their food and don't think that we will starve in the coming days! The calf thought with tears in his eyes, but it is estimated that he will never be able to figure it out!

However, for Zhang Lao Er, he felt that although there was a loss, these people forgot that the calf was an evil demon after grabbing the food, and only cared about moving the food away, and did not catch the calf, this is more or less a surprise, the food is gone, Zhang Lao Er can still find a way, but the calf is gone, and the sky is falling.

A small hand brushed Zhang Laoer's cheek, he came back from the trance and found that it was his son Xiao Niu, Xiao Niu looked at his father with a pair of big eyes, and squeezed out a sentence from his mouth for a long time: "Dad, did I say the wrong thing, otherwise why are uncles and aunts so angry." ”

Looking at the calf's serious face, Zhang Lao Er had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know where to explain this matter clearly, he also had the idea of hating his son at the beginning of the year when everyone snatched the food, but now looking at this kind and innocent face, seeing his only bloodline, he only felt full of blood, and suddenly leaked the calf into his arms, and whispered his rough face tightly against the child's chubby face: "Don't blame the calf, only blame the father for not having the ability, Blame Daddy is just a fisherman, rest assured, Daddy will definitely let you live well, well! ”

The wind was blowing, and the wind swept the fallen leaves into the yard, bringing a touch of coolness to the newly looted yard, and it was June, which was the hot time, but for the first time this summer, the family felt the early arrival of winter.

For Zhang Lao Er, he was originally a fisherman, and now that the food is gone, he has no problem to be a fisherman again, although life has become a tight monotonous life, but not to die, but those neighbors who have just sucked human blood like leeches know the deliciousness of blood, and they can no longer forget the taste of blood, so whenever Zhang Lao Er comes back with a basket of fish on his back, there are always some people who forcibly occupy Zhang Laoer's catch on the grounds that this year's disaster is caused by the calf. And this trend is getting worse and worse, until Zhang Laoer's daily catch is not exhausted.

It's late at night, it's already time, Zhang Lao Er sneaked home quietly like a thief from the back mountain, in these days, the catch during the day was basically robbed by the villagers, and only at night secretly went out to catch some fish to eat, to maintain the family's recent feeding needs.

When he returned home, Zhang Lao Er didn't even dare to light the lamp, and his wife Huiting and son Niu were already asleep in the room, and he wanted to take advantage of the night to get these fish quickly

Cleaned up, some of the fish were secretly hidden in a cellar he had dug the other day to dry, and some of the fish were used as food for tomorrow.

In the face of these more and more excessive neighbors, Zhang Lao Er also wanted to resist, but every time he just clenched his fists, he suddenly retracted in fright, if he was just alone, he would not be afraid of anything, but he now has a wife and children, once he does it, he can run out of the village, but what about the children and his wife!

He had thought about leaving here, but where could he go if he left here, he had never left here since he and his father had settled here, and he didn't even dare to think about what to do if he left here.

Maybe, maybe as long as they survive this year, the neighbors will not be so unreasonable when they have their own food, Zhang Lao Er dragged his tired body and sat in the room, the moonlight shining in through the window, just falling on his lovely son's face.

The moment he saw his son, his whole mood suddenly improved, all the hard work, all the efforts are worth it, only his son grew up healthily, what is his tiredness, thinking of this, he smiled slightly, stood up and gently closed the door, at this moment, he seemed to have strength all over his body, the somewhat rickety body suddenly stood up straighter, and the shadow seemed to become majestic and taller under the moonlight.

In this way, a month passed in the life of hiding and seeking, and on the day of July 18, tragedy still happened, which made this originally stormy family even worse.

It was early in the morning, the calf was awakened by urine, he opened his eyes with sleepiness, and found that his father was not in bed, during this time his father secretly went to fish the calf at night, but usually every morning he would come back and sleep next to the calf, but why not today?

The calf pulled the quilt and covered his mother, so he got out of bed lightly, and came to the back kitchen, but he did not see his father's shadow, nor did he see his father's fishing tools, so he kept shouting, but no one answered, and at this moment, he suddenly had another ominous premonition in his mind, and immediately put on his clothes and rushed out.

Summer always brightens early, and although the neighbors have not gotten up now, the sun has shone through the cracks in the trees to the earth, dragging a long shadow on the riverbank.

The calf went down the river, shouting and checking everything in the river, and he very much wanted his father to answer happily under some tree, and then rushed out with a smile with his catch and lifted him high, but there was no such thing as a familiar figure.

He was very scared, afraid that his father would not come back, he felt that this was a curse on his father, so he tried his best not to think like that, but the more he didn't think like this, the more he thought like this in his mind, and even the picture of his father's corpse appeared in his mind, and the calf felt that he was going crazy, and ran desperately on the river embankment, wanting to fall down the terrible scene in his mind.

Suddenly, at the edge of a waterhole, a piercing pain swept through the calf's body, he didn't know what was going on, he felt very sad in his heart now, like a knife twisting, he crouched on the edge of the riverbank, and suddenly a terrifying image came into view.

A dark blue linen cloth cloth floated on the surface of the water in some algae bushes by the waterhole, this dress is very familiar to the calf, this is exactly what his father Zhang Lao Er usually wears when he goes fishing, due to the poverty of the family, his father usually goes out fishing or works when he is always such a dress, and now the clothes are floating in the water, is it...

A shiver swept through the soles of the calf's feet, and he whispered: "No, no, daddy is a fisherman, he knows water, his water nature is excellent, I have seen it." The calf's voice trembled a little, his face was already pale, and he didn't know when tears had crossed his cheeks.

The calf took a few steps back, but finally couldn't help but walk to the river, and the closer he got to his body, the more he trembled, until at last his body was like a sifting of chaff, and at that moment, a gust of wind blew, and the surface of the water instantly turned up a ripple, and then in the grass, a white hand without any blood appeared on the surface of the water with the ripples.

"Daddy, Daddy," cried out the dejected calf, who was only five years old and had already learned water under his father's teachings

He jumped into the river, swam desperately to his father's side, and turned his father out of the water with all his strength.

The familiar and terrifying face instantly appeared in front of his eyes, the original dark father's face became pale, his whole body had doubled in size, and when he saw the calf, he no longer smiled, no longer had excitement, no longer had pride, he, floating in the water, forever motionless.

Heart-rending cries tore through the dawn of the morning, and some of the birds in the trees screamed and flew up, and then some of the birds fell like hunters' arrows, and then floated silently on the water.

The crying alarm the mother Huiting, and also alarmed the neighbors, the mother Huiting didn't know what was going on, in her eyes there was only this son, and when she saw her son crying, he cried with him, as for why the son was crying, it didn't matter.

The neighbors heard the crying and continued to come to the riverbank, but in the face of two emaciated voices and shadows and a floating familiar corpse, they did not go down to the river to help, nor did they have any comfort, but stood on the edge of the riverbank talking and laughing, pointing and even scolding Zhang Lao Er for secretly fishing at night.

The calf had very little strength, and his mother had no way to pull his father's corpse home, so the calf went to ask the neighbors to help, but everyone saw him coming as if they had seen the plague.

But in the despair of the calf, at dusk, a person came from the glow, this person the calf knew, it was the old bachelor Mu Cong in the village, Mu Cong is also an honest man, even more honest than his father, usually help people work and pay are given by others casually, anyway, he is also illiterate.

Mu Cong didn't say anything, just took out a rope and tied it to Zhang Laoer's body, and then carried Zhang Laoer's body back to his home like he usually carried a pig, and carried his body into the back mountain overnight after changing Zhang Laoer's clothes, dug a simple grave, and buried it.

In the night, looking at Mu Cong's distant back, the young calf found that he couldn't understand the disturbances of the world more and more, this Mu Cong, usually rarely spoke in the village, and he didn't have a good face when he saw the calf, but in the end, his father was buried with his help, and the rest of the village was the same, and even went to his house to move food, but at this time, he was not willing to help at all, what did his family do wrong, and think about if they were not very selfish to take away their father's catch, His father didn't have to go out fishing at night, and he didn't drown in the water, and a series of thoughts made him start to have some hatred for these neighbors, but this hatred was faint, and from time to time it lingered in his mind

In this family, the father is the pillar of the family, and all the food and drink in the family are found by this father, and now the father has died suddenly, which undoubtedly brings a heavy blow to the family.

Looking at his mother's stupid and stupid food everywhere, the calf sighed helplessly, his father is gone, how can there be food, but life has to go on, he is now the only normal person in this family, he has the obligation to shoulder the responsibility of taking care of his mother, so the calf turned around and walked inside, picked up his father's fishing net and strode out.

The petite voice and shadow appeared in the sun, followed by her mother, who was stupid and stupid, she didn't feel the crisis of the family, she didn't feel the troubles, so she was always like an ignorant child, and the real child was like an old and successful adult at this time.

After a hard morning, there were only a dozen thumb-length river crucian carp in the cage, but just like that, the calf was already tired and sweating, and the big fishing net calf could barely spill out, and it was completely casually dropped in the river, and his body was already soaked, and her mother thought that he was sweating, and kept fanning him with lotus leaves.

"Mother, go back, it's getting dark, although it's not much, but going back to cook fish soup should be able to barely survive the day." The little child said very mature words to the mother, who was much taller than him, but the mother didn't seem to understand, but when she saw the shallow smile on her son's mouth, she followed the silly smile, and the lotus leaf fan in her hand became stronger.

Everyone
