Chapter 32: The Devil Haunts
Shumei and the child are gone, she is not in a hurry, but angry.
"This mourning star, I don't know where to hide and be lazy, I really think I am the queen! Give me back a face. ”
As she spoke, she went to Jizong's house and informed Jizong, who was lying on the bed and couldn't move, "Jizong! Your daughter-in-law doesn't know where to run and be lazy. ”
During the time when Shumei was pregnant, she was indeed busy and very thoughtful. But this man! After all, it is difficult to change the nature, it is easy to be a good person or two, but it is really difficult to do good things for a lifetime. She thinks that she has done her best to be benevolent and righteous, and she has worked hard all her life, so how can she still do things to serve people when she should enjoy her old age and enjoy the blessings of her children and grandchildren.
When Jizong heard that Shumei was gone, he was anxious, "A-Niang, go and find it!" I'm afraid she won't be able to think about it, so go quickly! Daddy, Daddy...... "Seeing that Wu Ju still looked like nothing happened, he climbed from the bed to the ground with difficulty with the strength of his hands, wanting to find Shumei in person.
"On the contrary, she is not home in the middle of the night, and I have to look for her, is her spectrum too big?" Wu Ju walked out of the door as he spoke, and dragged Zhang Binglin, who was about to enter the door, out, "This family, it seems that you are separated from me, you can't even eat a mouthful of hot rice, they all say that raising children to prevent old age, people are also raising sons, I am also raising sons, other people's sons and daughters-in-law are filial, but I don't do it myself, I can't even eat, this god is really eccentric." ”
Even if I climb, I have to climb out to find Shumei, it's me who has burdened her, and I'm sorry for her.
But in the end, he was still unable to do it, and he rolled off the bed and fell to the ground with a pop, and fell to the ground along with the bed quilt.
Wu Ju heard the sound in the house, and the two old men hurriedly ran in, and when they saw Jizong lying motionless on the ground, they hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, "Son! Why are you suffering? You are the meat that fell from your mother's birth, you abuse yourself like this, A-Niang's heart hurts! For the sake of a woman, you made yourself look like this, what are you trying to do? ”
Wu Ju changed his hardness just now, and his tone softened a lot.
Looking at the grandmother who used to be a thrifty housekeeper, but now she has become like this, Jizong knows in his heart that she is blaming Shumei for taking away the most important position in her son's heart, and she is eating her daughter-in-law's flying vinegar. To this day, he still firmly believes that his aunt is not bad-hearted.
"What's the picture? Figure life can go on! ”
Jizong's eyes flashed with tears, life can go on! Can life really go on? I'm a burden now, not to mention that Shumei can't think about it, now I can't think about it, I have lost confidence in life in my heart, and now everything is lost, so it's better to die than to live without a ghost.
A tough guy with iron bones, but now like a sentimental woman, she washes away the pain in her heart with tears again and again.
"A-Niang, if you really don't like Shumei, then I'll set her free and let her find a good family."
"Bastard, what are you talking about, you are like this now, but she is going to enjoy Qingfu, who will take care of you, it is really husband and wife who are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes! I can tell you, she Kang Shumei was born as a member of my Zhang family, and died as a ghost of my Zhang family, don't want to leave you alone, can I not serve you? ”
Wu Ju covered Jizong with a quilt and vetoed his idea.
"Don't bother A-Niang, A-Niang, you go and get the dichlorvos at home, as long as I die, everyone's life can really continue."
"You...... You ......" Wu Ju was so angry by Jizong that she cried in front of Jizong's bed and cried loudly, "Why am I crying so much!" I gave birth to such a rebel as you, didn't I? You don't want to live anymore, do you? Okay, then I'll set fire to the house, so that our family can have a companion on Huangquan Road......"
Wu Ju said and spoke, picked up the kerosene lamp on the table, trembled and took the matches in his hand, and drew the matches in his hand one after another, Zhang Binglin was still pulling and dissuading him.
But it's strange that there is not a single match lit today. In fact, it's not the match problem, it's her deliberate, it's a pity that she died, it's better to die than to live, ants are still stealing life, let alone people? She is reluctant to die, she is just good at using this set of agitation methods.
"That's enough."
Jizong was really fed up, and at this time they were still in the mood to act in front of him, so he used all his strength to roar.
Wu Ju was so frightened that the match in his hand also fell to the ground, and the room returned to calm, so quiet that he could hear the sound of insects outside the door.
"I'll go out and look for it!"
Zhang Binglin's voice broke the existing calm, he picked up the flashlight on the table, and rushed into the night.
A breeze blew, there was a rustling sound in the bamboo forest, Shumei, who had calmed down, was swishing cold behind her, and she always felt as if there was something invisible behind her, she quickened her pace and hurried home.
At this time, Zhang Binglin was also looking for this, but unfortunately the flashlight ran out of power halfway, he patted the flashlight hard, and the flashlight barely emitted a faint light and then completely extinguished.
"The guy who doesn't use it, it's not bad sooner or later, but it's bad at this juncture."
He grumbled to himself, rubbed his eyes, and groped his way in the direction of the river by the faint moonlight. This woman can't think about it, she wants to find a short view, this big river is the best place.
There was once a girl who was trampled by others, and if she couldn't think about it, she committed suicide by throwing herself into the river, so after thinking about it for a while, he decided to go to the river to find someone, and prayed while walking, "Shumei! Don't really jump into the river, you can go to the river quietly, don't do this stupid thing, isn't there still a child? The child is innocent, and the Jizong is also innocent! No matter how difficult the days are, gritting your teeth will always pass......"
Walking and walking, the two got closer and closer, Shumei was already frightened by the wind just now, and now looking at Zhang Binglin who was approaching her, she was so frightened that she stopped.
The evening breeze blew again, and she was already exhausted, so frightened that her legs became weak, and she subconsciously wanted to go backwards or find a place to hide, but she couldn't move this foot.
"Could it be a ghost scratching a foot?"
She knelt on the ground with a plop, tightly protecting the child in her hand, "Brother ghost, you and I have no grudges in recent days, if you really want to find a replacement for the dead ghost, look for me!" Spare my poor child, please......"
Shumei kept kowtowing to her so-called ghost brother and begging him to spare the infant child.
Zhang Binglin's eyes were not very good, and it was night, he didn't recognize Shumei even when he walked up to Shumei, "It's really unlucky, who is here to send ghosts in this winter!" Phew! Amitabha, it's strange, I'm just passing by, borrowing and borrowing! ”
At that time, people didn't go to school, and because of the residual poison of feudal thinking, people still believed in ghosts and gods in their hearts, and always regarded strange things that could not be explained as ghosts. Stay away from the so-called ghosts, be respectful, for fear of offending the ghosts, and be retaliated by the ghosts.
Shumei, who was still frightened, heard Zhang Binglin's muttering.
"Huh! Why does this voice look so much like Daddy's? She raised her head, which had been hanging low, and had never dared to raise it, and called out twice tentatively, "Daddy, Daddy? Is that you? ”
It seems that Shumei is calling, no, this is late at night, what if it is a ghost? If I respond, my soul will definitely be hooked by black and white impermanence, and it is better to bypass it.
Seeing that the other party should not, Shumei was even more convinced that the figure in front of her was a ghost, and she was instantly terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Wow Wow Wow ......"
This naughty and mischievous child cried again at a critical moment, and Shumei and Zhang Binglin almost screamed in fright.
"Baby, don't cry......"
Shumei softly coaxed the child in her arms, afraid that her cry would attract a ghost not far away. But no matter how she coaxed, the child still cried endlessly, and in desperation, she simply unbuttoned her shirt and stuffed the nipple into the child's mouth. But the bear child still didn't stop crying with his nipple in his mouth, crying louder and louder.
"Son, what's wrong with you? Could it be ...... Could it be that the ghosts are scaring you? ”
Zhang Binglin heard the child's voice, and he was going to make a detour, but he turned around and came back and walked in the direction of Shumei. With Shumei's voice, and now with the cry of a child, he firmly believes that the figures in front of him are his daughter-in-law and granddaughter, not some ghosts.
"People are afraid of ghosts for three points, ghosts are afraid of people for seven points, child, don't be afraid, there is a mother, even if there is a ghost in front of you, your mother has to fight with it."
Shumei was reborn after the catastrophe, but she didn't expect it to be because of a ghost that didn't exist. She vaguely remembered that there was a row of small willow trees on the side of the road, and with her memory, she found the row of small willow trees, broke a willow branch hard, and beat Zhang Binglin who was walking towards her with a slashing head and covering her face.
"I'll kill you, a black-hearted demon, and tell you to bully my daughter, and tell you to bully my daughter......"
"Oops, oops, oops, is it Shumei? Stop, I'm your daddy! ”
Hearing the familiar voice of Zhang Binglin, Shumei stopped her crazy moves.
"Daddy, is it really you?"
"It's me, it's me, I look at you soft and weak on weekdays, I never thought there would be such a crazy side."
"Daddy, are you alright? This black light is blinding, don't I think you are a ghost who seduces souls! ”
"A small branch, I can still afford it, as long as you and the child are okay, let's go! The night is cold and dewy, don't turn around and don't catch a cold. ”
In this way, the two returned together.
When I returned home, I looked at the step-ancestor lying on the bed with tears in his eyes. Thinking of the step-ancestor who used to be sunny and healthy and took care of him in every way, he would have to lie on this bed like a corpse for the rest of his life from now on, Shumei's heart was torn for a while.
She put down the sleeping child, poured some hot water into the kettle, and began to help Jizong wipe his body, changing the bed quilt and pants that were soiled by Jizong's incontinence.
