【017】The soul returns to the west

It's no wonder that the wife of the Yellowstone people treats this black-faced man who wants to help them like this.

In previous years, the toiling masses who were still struggling on the poverty line were forced to flee the famine and beg for their livelihoods. Especially in those poor areas, the number of wanderers and beggars is as high as tens of thousands.

Some of the beggars have made their homes outside and live diligently.

Others are lazy and hate to begging as a profession, begging during the day and staying in high-end hotels at night.

That's why with these and those precedents, the wives of the Yellowstone people will treat black-faced men like this.

Taking 10,000 steps back, the black-faced man really came begging. If you want to get a few cents in the hands of the wife of the Yellowstone people, it is simply a pipe dream.

Seeing that the other party didn't appreciate it, the black-faced man's face became even darker. He didn't sympathize with the two people of Huangshi, but regretted that the child who had just been involved in the world was not deep, the child could be ignorant and the adult was not sensible to kill himself.

The black-faced man didn't say anything and silently withdrew from their house.

The wife of the Huangshi man pouted, and did not forget to scold: "That stinky beggar, I don't ask who the old lady's family members are, so I come to beg blindly, phew!" ”

The scolding words of the wife of the Huangshi people, the black-faced man heard it. He could only shake his head and sigh and leave, and he would not come back until the evening, and when he came again, it would be the day when the souls of their family of three returned to the west.

The wife of the Huangshi people is going to the market today. After she drove the black-faced man away, she put the cooked food in the pot and waited for her son to come home from school in the afternoon.

The purpose of rushing to the market is to buy back a stove for burning charcoal. She wants to be the first charcoal burner in the village.

At that time, charcoal burning was still a luxury idea, and some villagers heard that she was going to buy a charcoal stove. Very envious! There is a lot of talk in secret, and there is everything to say.

Some relatives in the village quietly dissuaded her from swaggering through the market like this, which would cause trouble. She was ashamed to say: "This is no way, who made my family live a good life, of course people will be red-eyed, plus my husband's career is sharp, and others can care about him as much as they like." ”

When the stove was bought, the husband and son had not returned. She hurriedly raised the stove, because it was the first time she used the charcoal stove, and she didn't know how to connect the fire, and after a burst of smoke, she finally connected the charcoal stove fire.

The weather in May is unpredictable, and the sun is still warm and sunny, and dark clouds roll in at dusk in the afternoon.

When the Huangshi people took their sons home, the clothes of the two fathers and sons were soaked through the rain in time. In May, the average temperature is slightly higher, and the amount of sunshine and precipitation is less.

But this rain came suddenly, so carelessly. A cold caught them both, one sneezing, the other tearful, very painful.

In the evening, cold symptoms worsen. I felt hot and cold, and I began to swing cold.

The child has no appetite and goes to bed early. Huangshiren's wife looked at the trembling child, and was so anxious that she took out the futon in the old elm closet and put it on the child's original bedding, but he was still crying cold.

Huang Shiren shook his head, entered his son's bedroom at one o'clock, and wondered, "It's really strange, how can it be so cold in May?" ”

The wife of the Huangshi man who had set up the futon gave her husband a white look and said, "Go to the hospital!" Take a look. ”

The people of Huangshi, including his wife, are distressed about money. Last time, because the child was attacked by a pebble, it cost a lot of money, and the two of them were distressed for a long time. This time, no matter how painful it was, I refused to go to the hospital.

My wife didn't have a rut, I thought about it for a long time, and I don't know why I suddenly thought of the charcoal stove. She said happily: "Oh, look at the two of you!" Alas! I have a way to keep the two of you from being so cold. ”

"Mother-in-law, if you have any way, don't grind." The Huangshi man clenched his arms and trembled.

Huangshi's wife touched the child's forehead, cold. Looking at his pitiful appearance, I was distressed. I didn't bother with my husband, and went straight to move the charcoal stove into my son's bedroom.

"What do you want to do?" The husband was puzzled.

"You can see it, just wait a minute." The wife was smug. The child lying on the bed, I don't know what the old lady is going to do, this is curled up in the futon and doesn't want to move.

The wife of the Huangshi man packed the coal in a dustpan and brought it in, shook it into the charcoal furnace, and a burst of flames and stars came out of the mouth of the charcoal stove.

The temperature in the room rises sharply under the baking of the charcoal stove.

The child lying on the bed also poked his head out happily, "I want to eat." ”

And it worked! My wife was overjoyed and hurriedly added more coal to the furnace. Then I went to the kitchen and brought food for my son.

"I'll have some wine." The people of Huangshi felt that their bodies were warm, and the interest in drinking also came, so they wanted to drink two cups.

People are better than anything else, and the wife is also happy, so she excitedly goes to bring a wine cup and pours it full for her husband.

The wife of the Huangshi people also has some alcohol, and her husband is so drunk that his face is red and his neck is thick, and she is also addicted to alcohol.

Looking at Yaxing drinking in two sips, it reminds me of a funny advertising line: 'You have a drink, I have a drink, and my face is red.' 'It's like an advertisement for alcohol!'

The advertising picture shows a man holding a wine glass, looking up at a bright moon in the sky, and the fairy Chang'e flies in the bright moon......

In the eyes of the Huangshi people, there is no fairy Chang'e, the freckles on the face of the wife and a dark shadow behind the wife.

The shadows came out of the walls and spread quickly. It's like a total lunar eclipse, and the earth slowly becomes a shadow.

The Shadow appeared in the eyes of the Yellowstone people at such a rapid speed that he opened his mouth wide in surprise, but he couldn't speak.

It was the alcohol that numbed his mind, and the horror of seeing the shadows made him suddenly lose his voice. But the consciousness saw very clearly that the shadow was attached to his wife, pulling out his wife's soul one by one......

Then the terrifying shadow pounced on the sleepy son, and the shadow slowly invaded the son's body, and came out again. He saw his son's soul, detached from his body, bleeding from his pale face!

The souls of his wife and son came to him in unison......

"Don't ...... Don't! The Yellowstone people shouted silently, fighting hard.

On the second day, it was discovered that the Yellowstone family had not opened the door. No one thought that something would happen to their family, and no one took the initiative to take a look.

On the third day, the Huangshi family was still closed as usual.

On the fourth day, the sun was shining and the temperature was scorching. The Huangshi family still didn't move, and the son's homeroom teacher also came to see why the child didn't go to class. This aroused the curiosity of the neighbors, and with the encouragement of everyone, someone thought of opening the door of their house.
