[124] Bad luck
The icy aura filled the entire morgue, and Ah Liang, who stood stiffly in front of the cold corpse, made a slight snorting sound between his snorts.
It wasn't Ah Liang's crying, but because the cold air was so cold that his snot flowed like water on his shaggy beard, so he had to suck it in hard.
He kept his head slightly hooked, not daring to look directly into his father's sunken eyeballs. I will never forget that when he pulled the broom out of his father's eye, he saw that there were no eyeballs in the bloody eye sockets.
In memory; The father thought that Ah Liang was not tall enough to dry his clothes on the clothes pole. So after some effort on the broom, he tied a simple iron fork to the stick of the broom. The eyeball with a red tendon was on the iron fork......
Mr. Liu told Ah Liang that his father's house that had been confiscated had been returned to his name. And with a little stacking, you can live in it at any time.
Ah Liang's father's house was once the housing that the school used to provide for the teachers who lived in the school. Although the area is not wide, it is also as strong as those who have lived in shantytowns for a long time.
Ah Liang picked up his wife from a friend and went to his father's house together. The number of the house, he didn't like it a little, what number was not good, but what was the 14th.
Room 103, No. 14.
When Teacher Liu left Ah Liang's house, he said a strange thing; "Alas! If you know that your lover is pregnant, you shouldn't come back, and even if you want to come back, you have to wait until she gives birth to the child. ”
Ah Liang didn't understand the teacher's words, and Xu Na didn't understand either.
Maybe there are various generation gaps in different generations, and the two of them didn't take the teacher's words to heart, but felt that the teacher's words were too pedantic and old-fashioned.
Because there is a strange legend among the people, which says that any pregnant woman cannot be relocated at will, long distances and strenuous exercises. It is said that the slightest carelessness can cause stillbirth, or miscarriage or something.
Ah Liang ignored the teacher's words, received a large amount of compensation from the school, and repaired the house on a large scale.
In the process of painting, Ah Liang found strange that the snow-white walls that were clearly freshly painted, there would always be blood-colored dot marks without knowing what's going on.
He took the trouble to erase the blood-colored dots again, and continued to cover them with lime slurry, but soon the blood-colored dots appeared on the walls again.
After wiping it several times in succession, Ah Liang also lost patience and finally had to abandon it.
Next, the couple folded the front and back yards of the house, and carefully planted some flowers and plants. And I don't know where to dig up a well-growing locust tree seedling and plant it under the balcony window of the house.
Because he had money in his hand, Ah Liang didn't feel at ease to look for any work, so he stayed by his wife's side all day long, stroking her increasingly prominent belly.
Xu Na's belly is getting bigger day by day, and the seedlings of the locust tree are gradually growing, and the branches and leaves are luxuriant and swaying in the wind.
One day half a year later, his wife Xu Na suddenly felt unbearable pain in her stomach, and Ah Liang, who had never experienced midwifery and had never seen a woman give birth, suddenly panicked.
His wife's screams shattered Ah Liang's will, and he frantically walked back and forth in the house, constantly pulling at his hair to control the fear in his heart.
Because at that time, we all knew that it was a natural thing for a woman to have a child, and she should not alarm anyone, and it was said that it was not good to alarm others, and it would cause bad luck to people.
So Ah Liang seemed to have no other way than to walk around the house anxiously. He walked outside the house for hours, pricking up his ears to hear the baby's initial cry, but every minute and every second passed, and not only did he not hear the baby's cry, but he didn't even hear his wife's voice......
Ah Liang went to the market the next day, and when he met people, he said that he was a father, and he bought sumptuous dishes at the market, which was said to be used to celebrate.
But the neighbors who knew him didn't hear the cry of a baby in Ah Liang's house, nor did they see Xu Na holding the child out, what was going on?
But at that time, the sports storm had just passed, and the sensitivity of everyone's heart had not been completely relaxed, and everyone was afraid that the evil movement ** would strike again. In this way, people think that more things are better than less things, and no one cares about Ah Liang's condition.
Time passed day by day, and the first person who thought of Ah Liang was that Teacher Liu.
Teacher Liu brought sugar and a dozen eggs to see Xu Na in confinement. There was a knock on the door, but no one answered.
Asked the neighbors all shook their heads and said they didn't know, and said; It seems that I haven't seen Ah Liang come out for a long time.
Teacher Liu thought; After Ah Liang returned to the county seat, he didn't give those friends any handover, he saw through this dirty world. Thinking that he was far away, he wanted to ask his friends to help him find a way back, but his friends avoided him.
Even on the day of his return, Ah Liang sent his wife to a friend's house, and the friend reluctantly agreed to leave Xu Na with him to rest for a while.
Of course, this is all Ah Liang complained to the teacher when he came back from the hospital with Teacher Liu. Word by word, he expressed his remembrance and apology for his father, he regretted that he should not have held a grudge against his father, and he should not have blinded his father's left eye with a broom because of a momentary anger.
After thinking about it, Mr. Liu found a few strong people and prepared to break in.
Just then, someone from a nearby jurisdiction came.
As soon as the big guy exerted his strength, the door of room 103 was slammed open. At the same time, a rotting and disgusting stench wafted from the room that crashed open.
"What does it smell like?" Teacher Liu walked in as he spoke.
Upon entering the room, the suffocating and disgusting smell of blood and decay intensified, and the stitches pounced on their respiratory system. The people who entered, looked at each other, because the smell was too strong, they had to cover their mouths and noses and lean in step by step, the bloody scene in front of them, shocked their legs stiff, not daring to take a step forward.
Ah Liang was lying at the window in an olive-green military uniform, his eyes festering and crawling with maggots, staring at the locust tree that he had transplanted himself.
Xu Na's hair was scattered, and a bright red hairpin was about to fall off her head. Her legs were bloodied, rolling maggots and dying in her bedroom. Beside her, there was a bloody red lump of flesh, covered with small sarcomas like eyeballs.
This shocking scene frightened everyone who came in and rushed out without hesitation.
Someone notified the relevant departments in time, and the case-handling personnel rushed to arrive.
The scene is examined to see if it was a premeditated murder or if the vicious indoor death was the work of the deceased himself.
After a series of examinations, people were surprised to find.
Ah Liang committed suicide by poisoning rats in the meal, Xu Na died because of massive bleeding during childbirth, and the lump of flesh beside her was her baby, a freak with deformed eyeballs.
