The hungry babies had breakfast in kindergarten, and half a bowl of ink-like rotten red soup was smoked. Ye Wenzhi Hongzhong and several big children led the hunger strike, shouting: "The children in the kindergarten take Yanggou water to drink!" "I ran to the cafeteria, looked for the breakfast that my adults had saved, and I didn't bother to chew it. Some of them stomped their feet to wipe their tears, and Shuchun took a steamed red lotus saved by his mother to eat with Dahong, but he snatched it and ran away.

The ninth sister-in-law of the cattle breeder passed by with the grass on her back, and when she saw Shuchun crying, she learned the situation from Ju Xiang and said: "When my mother comes back to sue him, I have to beat his ass." "Sister-in-law, please don't sue him, he's hungry too." The ninth sister-in-law shook her head, avoided the baby, and secretly took out a raw red plug from her coat pocket and gave it to Shuchun and said, "Sister, go to the side and hide it to eat." ”

Dahong fell asleep leaning on the bamboo in the dam, with wet tears on his face. Shuchun shook him awake and touched the birth red lotus and handed it in half. Dahong cried and said, "I don't, don't." "Eat, the ninth sister-in-law gave it." Shuchun was forced into his hand, and the sister and brother looked at each other with choked tears and smiled embarrassedly.

At noon, the sun's pillar of light injected sleeping agent into the babies like a needle, Dahong climbed onto the square table in the canteen and fell asleep, Ju Xiang came to see his puffy face passing a mischievous smile, purring and saying two words of sleep, his lips squirmed a few times and turned over, then hesitantly turned around and left.

There was curling smoke from the chimney of the cafeteria, Hongzhong's mother added a large handful of firewood, and the stove was silent for a moment, and a large puff of black smoke came out of the chimney, and the thatched house burned violently almost at the same time. Suddenly, the smoke was billowing out, the flames were rising so high, and the sound of crackling bamboo artemisia was terrifying.

"Fire, fire, fire burns the house!"

Everyone shouted for the fire, and Hongzhong's mother screamed hoarsely, crying and throwing from the kitchen to the yard like a pile of mud. The babies cried and cried, in a daze. Shuchun looked for Dahong in horror, and Ju Xiang cried and said, "He is dozing off at the dinner table." Shuchun was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and the nine sisters-in-law rushed over, poured out the cut grass, covered her head with her back pocket and rushed in, picked up the sleeping Dahong Hu in her arms and just escaped from the door, and the thatched house dragged the raging flames down from behind to seal the door.

When the working adults arrived, in front of them, there was a frightened baby. In order to thank the nine sisters-in-law for saving their lives, Xiong Qiniang asked Dahong to kneel on the ground and snort at her three times.

The mysterious whispers of the gods and goddesses:

"Heavenly Fire Mile ......"

"But it's a bad omen!"

Yang Anbang stood in the middle of the dam, his hands on his hips, his interrogation-like gaze swept over his faces, and he roared: "Tianhuo? ! Lao Tzu chopped him alive! Zhang Hanwen glanced at it, handed over the wrapped dry tobacco, leaned close to his ear and said a few words, and looked at the few women cooking in the cafeteria, all of them standing with their heads down, panicked. He said in a weird way: "Haha, someone dares to destroy Lao Tzu's back." Tianhuo, really know how to make up a ...... There is no cloud in this sky, the red and bright sun, where does the fire come from? Let's go coax the three-year-old. ”

There was silence. Yang Anbang lit a dry cigarette and smoked a puff, his eyes went straight to Hongzhong's mother who was paralyzed on the ground, and yelled: "Are you all dumb? What kind of heavenly fire, Lao Tzu knows it well in his heart, this is a blatant sabotage. ”

Everyone looked at each other and only wanted to defend themselves. Hongzhong's mother went straight to the ground and said, "Who knows, God will also do such a lack of morality." Yang Anbang shouted: "Wow, the white tiger star of the dog day." Uncle Bingshan, tie her up! "I'm so swollen that I can't move, where is the strength?" After that, he walked backwards. Yang Anbang gritted his teeth in anger, but he had nothing to do with him, because he was a single person and the closest elder.

Yang Anbang gave his nephews Zhu Mangwa and Zhang Hanwen a look, and they acted resolutely, tied Hongzhong's mother to the walnut tree next to the courtyard dam, and beat them with bamboo slices. Hongzhong's mother first screamed at her father and mother, and then she couldn't say a word no matter how she beat her, hanging her head, and white bubbles were coming out of her mouth. Zhang Hanwen stared at Zhu Mang'er and pointed to the big weighed stone on the ground, Zhu Mangwa'er understood, and hung the six or seven pounds of iron weighing weight on Hongzhong's mother's neck, she twitched a few times and didn't move.

"Pretend, Lao Tzu looks at you pretending!"

Zhu Mang'er was a bamboo piece again, and Yang Dahan'er dragged his sister Dongxiu Aunt next to him and whispered: "Yang Anbang is annoying me, you are also the accountant of the team, so you can count the cadres of the team, stand up and say a word of conscience." Aunt Dongxiu glanced at Yang Dahan and said, "Brother, I didn't expect your consciousness to be so low." Yang Dahan'er glared at her, and he plucked up his courage and said, "Captain, if you continue to fight like this, you will really die!" ”

Zhang Hanwen leaned close to Yang Anbang's ear and said a few words, turned around and said loudly: "What the captain means, killing this White Tiger Star is too cheap for her, and she will be deducted from a month's ration from today." ”

Zhang Hanwen and Zhu Mang'er hugged Yang Anbang and walked away, and Hongzhong's father Hongzhong hugged Hongzhong's mother in pain.

A few days later, Xiong's mother-in-law, Yu Wu's sister-in-law, went to work with a hoe, passed by the door of Hongzhong's house and said: "Grandma Dahong's herbs are more spiritual than the Bodhisattva, and Hongzhong's mother can get out of bed now after eating them." "yes, otherwise what else would have happened?" Hongzhong's mother heard it in the house, and moved her steps to come out to say hello. But when they got out of the door, they had already walked away, and they looked at their backs and thought, "It's really thanks to Grandma Dahong...... But this kind of living sin is also uncomfortable, Hongzhong's father has three rations, and he will soon be sent up the mountain. ”

She asked Hongzhong to help him go to the big weir to pull wild vegetables, and found the toad in the water, oil and grass, she was ecstatic, and sighed in her heart: "What a road to heaven!" So, he asked Hongzhong to run home and bring a basket to tie to the bamboo pole, and scoop it up. The mother and son were lucky enough to scoop seven or eight and take them home. She was reluctant to cut her skin and belly, so she washed it and put it in the casserole she borrowed from Grandma Dahong to cook for a while, and she couldn't wait to fish it out, so she picked one and handed it to Hongzhong. He saw his black and numbness back, and his white and swollen belly, and he ran away in fright. So, he left half for Hongzhong's father, closed his eyes and choked his stomach, and even drank the soup.

"Even if you're dead now, you're a full ghost."

She lay down for a while, her stomach worse than hungry. I wanted to vomit but couldn't get out, and I felt a pain like a heart crincula, and then my limbs didn't listen to the call, and I opened my mouth to shout but couldn't scream. She grabbed the edge of the bed with one hand, pressed her stomach with the other, and pressed her feet against the wall, as if she felt better. Only then did she suspect: "Maybe there is a problem with eating the toad, and this road may come to an end." She was sad and wept: "I remember being a girl for the landlord in the past, being beaten and scolded, and all kinds of bullying can be endured, and I always want to get through." After giving birth to Hongzhong, there was hope in my heart. But now that everything is over, is he really a white tiger star? Hongzhong Dad, if there is an afterlife, you must be reincarnated into a family that is not hungry!"

Hongzhong's father and son hugged Hongzhong's mother's corpse and cried to death, and Dahong's grandmother angrily sighed a few times with a bamboo cane: "Alas, what a sin! The neighbors wrapped the body in a tube of rotten bamboo mats, carried it to the hillside and buried it.
