For many years after that, I lived with my second uncle, and I never dared to go back to that courtyard.

After that, I started to have nightmares from time to time, day and night, always dreaming that my father was covered in dirt, his eyes were rolling, and he was standing side by side with my brother and mother in the yard of his hometown.

Their feet were covered with rainwater, and the blood kept flowing down, and the blood flowed like a faucet, from their bodies into the water under their feet, and in a short time it stained the whole yard red.

The three of them were always crying and crying to complain to me, but there were no tears when they cried, but all blood, saying that they had been killed and that they could not live in peace, and that I wanted to avenge them.

As I talked, when they saw that I didn't respond, they would come over and pinch me, and every time I woke up, I was drenched in cold sweat, like I had taken a bath, and my breathing was uncomfortable.

I repeat that sentence in my mind every day: "If you don't avenge this revenge, you will never be a human again!" ”

But who should I seek revenge on?

I was 16 years old at the time, had just entered high school, and after this accident in my family, I had no relatives, so I began to live with my second uncle.

Briefly talk about the situation of the second uncle, his wife died early, and he has no children, so he has been living alone, there is a large courtyard, and there are houses in the south, south, south, and northwest.

Because the second uncle has no family, he usually raises a lot of animals, all cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, sheep and cats, and when he is interested, he will raise a few rabbits, turtles and birds to play, all of which should be used to entertain his own life.

When it was not good, he went out to play with his friends, but sometimes during the New Year's holidays, watching other people's families reunite and be harmonious, he couldn't plug in the stubble, and his heart was naturally envious and uncomfortable.

But he didn't say it, he went home and sat in the yard with his wife's photo, and he could see from the afternoon that he didn't wait to move at dusk, and he kept calling his wife's name in his mouth, talking to himself, telling the photo about yesterday's events, today's life, and what he was going to do tomorrow, whether he was going to raise another dog, or a donkey or a horse, etc., and so on, and he spoke seriously, as if his wife was really sitting next to him.

And looking at the photo, he is not idle in his hands, tethering a duck to the side, touching the neck of the duck if he has nothing to do, playing with it over and over again from top to bottom, he takes the photo from the afternoon to the dusk, and can brush the duck's neck bald,

When I first lived with him, I didn't understand his behavior, but after a long time, I slowly accepted it, and even began to feel a little sorry for the ducks.

From this point, it can be seen that my second uncle is sometimes very out of tune and out of tune.

For example, because he is alone, he has more animals, so he likes to deal with animals.

One early in the morning, when I was sleeping in a daze, he woke me up and said that he was going out for a walk, and then gave me a bunch of ropes, pulled me into the yard, pointed to the chickens, ducks, cats and dogs, and said, "Tie them all up, let's go to the fish lake."

Yuhu is a large pond in the local village, because the boundary environment is good, and there are woods and wheat fields around it, so many people in the village, both adults and children, love to go over and walk around when they are fine, sit together and chat, and by the way, they can also look at their crops.

He was the first to lead a bunch of animals around!

It's just a chicken, duck, cat and dog on a leash, it's not a trouble anyway, let him do it if he likes it.

But then he went to the market to buy a thick hemp rope, and threw it over for me to tie the pig, so angry that I almost jumped to my feet, you try to tie a pig?

As soon as the door of the pigsty is opened, the pig can run to the sky, can a person tie it?

He was so unobtrusive, but anyway, after I arrived, he had one more thing in his life, and that was to provide for me to go to school.

The second uncle thinks that since the family affairs have gone out and they have all passed, this child's studies cannot be wasted, everything is inferior, only high schooling.

I didn't want to at the time, you think, I'm only sixteen years old, after these things, the whole family is left to die, how can I have the heart to study again?

The second uncle said, then you don't go to school, come back and walk the pig with me in the future, in two days I am preparing to raise a Tibetan mastiff, when the time comes, put the pig away, let the dog chase, I follow behind, very interesting.

After hearing this, I was so angry that I went to the school the next day to report.

At this point, without saying much, my second uncle provided me with the help of finishing high school, being admitted to college, until I graduated from college, joined the work, talked about a girlfriend, lived in the city temporarily, and began to plan for marriage, which took a full eight years.

In the past eight years, I have lived like a normal person, whether it is life or study, everything has gone smoothly, and I have not suffered any major setbacks, as if all the setbacks and bad luck have been used up by the age of sixteen.

After a long time, I even forgot what my brother said back then: "If you don't avenge this revenge, you will be wronged by the family, and you will never be a human again." ”

Now I work in a state-owned enterprise, the salary is very good, the boss is also good to me, I have a girlfriend, her surname is Chen, a single word Qing, she is gentle and considerate, empathetic, and I make progress in life, and then officially engaged, ready to get married soon, in short, all this is very good.

Sometimes I even wonder if God has mercy on me, and when I saw something like that happen to me at the age of sixteen, I was so merciful and kind that I could live a better life in the future.

I live a stable life, not rich and rich, but also stable, the times are constantly evolving, in the past ten years, China has changed dramatically, the pace of life is getting faster and faster, but I am still very satisfied with the status quo.

Until that day comes.

On the thirteenth day of the lunar month, it was my birthday, and my fiancée Chen Qing went out to eat and celebrate, because I played late, it was already more than 11 o'clock at night when I came back.

At eleven o'clock in the night, there was no one on the street, there was goose feather snow on the road, the north wind was howling, snowflakes were flying, and when I returned to the community, it was already twelve o'clock at night.

Entered the community, went straight to the unit where we lived, here to say, because Chen Qing is a lazy person, so when renting a house, in order to save the trouble of going up and down the stairs all day, I chose to live on the first floor, this house is not big, the two of us, the door is leaning against the unit staircase corridor is.

Before the two of us returned home, it was dark in the staircase corridor, and I couldn't see anything, I took out the key and stomped in front of my door, and the voice-activated light above my head turned on.

I was also startled by her, and hurriedly turned my head to see what was going on, and saw a person lying by the wall outside the door, saying that he was lying down, but rather sitting against the wall, because it was too dark before, I did not notice that there was a person.

This man has messy hair, a full beard, and a dirty and torn dress wrapped around his body, so he sits down against the wall, buried by the goose feathers and heavy snow, and the whole lower half of the body is buried in the snow, and he can't see his legs, only the upper body leaks out, and he just sits in the snowdrift, his eyes are closed, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.

"Who is this man? How can it lie in front of our house? Chen Qing was so frightened that he hid behind me, his body trembling.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay, I'm here." I comforted her, but at the same time hesitated to walk over and nudge the man's shoulder: "Brother? Wake up, why are you lying here? ”

The man's face was pale, as if he had heard my voice, his head shook in the snow, but he never looked up, he muttered that he didn't know what he was talking about, his breath was faint, and he looked like he was about to freeze to death.

I saw that I didn't feel right, and hurriedly touched it with my hand, and found that his body was burning, and I was thinking about taking out my mobile phone to call 120, when I suddenly heard him muttering with his head down, and his voice was extremely weak and weak in the howling wind and snow, but I still heard it clearly, and my heart trembled, and he was saying: "Tu poor... I'm looking for my brother... Diagram poor...."
