Chapter 10: Fleeing Overnight

The sharp knife cut open the center of my foot, and the quenched needle was roasted by the fire, piercing the soles of my feet little by little, until the pendant, which was only the size of a fingernail, was hidden in it, and then slowly stitched it together, and the center of the foot was almost red and swollen.

It hurts, it hurts to the bone. It hurt so much that I almost crushed my teeth.

At the last injection, I couldn't bear the extreme pain anymore, and I threw my head up and fell backwards.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already early the next morning. I lay on Daddy's back and could feel the warmth in my abdomen. That's Daddy's sweat.

Daddy, shouldn't he have been running with me all night after sewing up the wound?

"Daddy, where are we?"

"It's already past the Tongzi Forest, and it's about to reach the Red River. Your feet are not convenient for walking now, so Daddy will give you a ride. The bag on your back is full of dowries prepared for you by Daddy and your mother, and I originally wanted to give it to you when you got married, but now, I'm afraid I can't wait for that time. ”

Auntie, when I mention Auntie, my nose is sour, it's all because of me, it's all because of me, I shouldn't be stubborn and want to resist Daddy, if I stay at home obediently for the rest of my life, maybe there won't be so many things happening, right?

It didn't take long for Daddy to carry me to the Red River.

He put me down, wiped a handful of sweat beads on his forehead and neck, and began to say to me intermittently without breathing: "Daddy can only send you here, the future is your own, as for how to run the way, you are also sixteen or seventeen years old, you should be able to understand what Daddy said......"

Before Daddy could finish speaking, I interrupted him: "Daddy, what do you mean by that?" Won't you come with me? ”

"Your aunt is in this homeland, I treated her too much when she was alive, and now that she is dead, Daddy can't really be that unintentional man, and when you are sent out, Daddy will be buried with your aunt, we have reached the twilight of our lives, there is no difference between early and late death, you are different, your life has not yet begun."

"When you go outside, you can study if you want to study, and if you don't want to study, you can find an easier job, at least you can eat three meals a day and be warm."

He explained everything in detail, but I couldn't calm down and listen to his expectations and arrangements for me in the future.

In other words, Auntie and Daddy will not accompany me on the back road, out of this place, what will happen in the future, no one can predict, this is really like a gamble. Everyone has their own fate, even Daddy and Auntie have their way home.

It seems that in just an instant, I feel that I have changed from a sixteen-year-old flower girl heart to a twenty-six-year-old hot and cold heart, and I seem to have grown up.

I'm pondering, Daddy is still nagging me: "Do things, you must have a beginning and an end, don't fish for three days and dry nets for two days, no matter how tired and bitter you are, you have to persevere, no matter how painful it is, you have to endure it, you must be brave and diligent in adversity, and those who can't endure hardships will never succeed." ”

"There are always endless roads in the world, and there are rivers that cannot be crossed, and the roads that cannot be walked must be stopped in moderation, and the rivers that cannot be crossed must turn around in time.

People, not afraid of smallness, only afraid of humility, life is fair, no matter good times or bad, since you are a human being, you must be worthy, that top of the sky and the earth. ”

In just half an hour, Daddy almost didn't stop telling me this or that big truth, from firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, to life, he told me everything in an orderly manner.

The more he talked about the back, his face was already covered with tears, and I, the tears blurred my eyes, Daddy's tears almost flowed to my heart, white smoke rose on my heart, stagnation into a wound, never healed.

Although Daddy almost didn't stop telling me this or that big truth in just half an hour, from firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, to all kinds of life.

Later, I realized that ------- detour in my life was actually indispensable.

The boatman put me on board, and Daddy stood on the shore with a grin on his lips and watched me drift away. I covered my mouth and wept, not daring to look back at his hard face.

I sat down, leaned my back on the board, cried and cried, and fell asleep.

In the dream, an old, dark room, with a bad curtain hanging from the tattered windowsill, the most characteristic of the room is that it is full of sheets of cobwebs as thick as cotton wool.

It was such a dilapidated house, and in vain there appeared a man I knew very well.

The placket of his upper body was wide open, and he looked extremely terrifying. But the paradox is that I have never met this man at all, where did I get acquainted? However, there is that uneasy sense of familiarity in my heart.

His face was deformed in pain, his chest was about to tear open, and the red blood beads were seeping out little by little along the veins of his chest, and on the other side, there was a skeletal skeleton hand that looked like a telekinesis, clasping a steaming red ball about the size of a fist, still beating.

At first glance, it turned out to be a bloody heart! The man's heart had been dug out by the skeleton hand, but the other man was still alive!

As soon as the picture turned, another woman came out. Dressed in a long glass dress, her hair was messy, her whole body was covered with copper bells and yellow charms, not to mention the blood, she was lying on her back on the ground and convulsions, and the tongue in her mouth was suddenly pulled out and cut off half with scissors!

I really couldn't hold back, I exclaimed, the scene in front of me suddenly disappeared, and at this moment, a chill hit, I couldn't help but shiver, and I woke up in a daze.

I touched my forehead, only to find that it was all sweating.

I don't really dream, but if I have such a bloody and nonsensical dream, it will be a sign that something bad is about to happen.

For example, Daddy went out for three days and didn't come home, and the unbelievable things I witnessed in my dream that night were completely fulfilled in Wolong Lake. This time, what will the protagonist of the dream portend if he has nothing to do with me?

I shook my drowsy head and reached out my hands to pat my cold cheeks, which were blown by the wind, to sober myself up.

Looking at the sun, it was very dark. I realized something was wrong.

It stands to reason that the boat can reach the town dock in about four hours, and judging from the position of the sun in the sky, it is estimated that the ship has been traveling for more than six hours.

I looked at the boatman angrily, but I saw that others were honest, and I was over half a hundred years old, and I had endured the anxiety in my heart and didn't get angry.

"Boatman, can you get to town before dark?" There is actually some irony in this statement, but I really can't hold back the boredom in my heart. The sky gradually seemed to appear as a large cloud of dark clouds, and from my point of view, it almost looked like it was about to cover the whole world.
