As the saying goes: Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, this is not false at all.

My grandmother bought my mother back from a human trafficker, and at that time my mother was not mentally normal, and she couldn't speak, and she didn't even know her name.

My grandmother wants to be cheap, and after buying my mother back, she will lock her in the house, so that my father can hurry up to the cave house, so that she can have a baby and pass it on.

It just so happened that my Uncle Li came to my house that day, and when he saw my mother, he immediately threw down his face and opposed the marriage, asking my grandmother to send my mother away quickly, otherwise she would get into trouble.

Where is my grandmother willing to let go of such a good opportunity, she refuses to live or die, and scolds me Uncle Li, if you don't have the ability to find a daughter-in-law, don't worry about other people's families, if our old Shen family is broken, she will die in front of him.

Uncle Li and my grandfather are good brothers, when my grandfather was still alive, the two often carried Luoyang shovels in and out of the mausoleum, it was a matter of minutes, and later when my grandfather was dying, he told Uncle Li to protect our family.

Uncle Li was very helpless by my grandmother and didn't speak again, but while my grandmother was not paying attention, he called my father to the back room and sternly told my father that he must not touch my mother, otherwise our family will not want to have a good life in the future, and even lose his life.

What's even more incredible is that Uncle Li never went back to the coffin shop since then, squatting at the door of my house every day to guard my mother, just not letting my father enter my mother's door, but he himself often went in at night.

This is a week's keep.

My grandmother was busy with my father's marriage, and she had no time to take care of it, for fear that my mother would resist, so she found a time to invite people from the village to come over for a banquet.

Later, my mother became pregnant, and I was born on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, so my uneducated father gave me the name Shen Qiyue.

As soon as my grandmother saw that I was a girl, she immediately grabbed my mother who was still in confinement and worked in the field, claiming that if she couldn't give birth to a boy in the next year, she would throw her away, and because of this, my whole childhood was spent in pain, just because my mother never got pregnant after giving birth to me.

No matter how hard my father worked hard, it just didn't work, if it wasn't for the lack of money at home, I suspected that my grandmother would have to buy a daughter-in-law for my father.

I thought that Uncle Li's warning back then was just nonsense, but no one thought that when I was seven years old, something would eventually happen.

As I grew up, people in the village began to spread that I was not like my father but like Uncle Li, saying that I was Uncle Li's seed!

Eventually, my dad couldn't stand the rumors and broke out, and that day, he beat my mother violently for nearly two hours until my mother couldn't speak anymore.

I hid by the straw pot door, scared and anxious.

I didn't dare to go to see my mother, I was afraid that my father's burning stick would hit me.

I cried all the time, and when I got tired of crying, I fell asleep in a daze.

In the middle of the night, I heard Uncle Li's scolding voice, which had disappeared for a long time: "Shen Ergou, you fucking ate the bear's heart and leopard's guts, do you want to still be all of us!" ”

When I heard Uncle Li's scolding, I was immediately frightened and woke up.

When I ran to the yard, I saw Uncle Li standing in front of my mother's corpse, trembling with anger.

And my mother's corpse was hanging under the willow tree in the yard, with her toes pointing down, and shaking slightly.

At that time, I didn't know what the eight sufferings in the world were, the separation of life, old age and death.

In fact, I have always been raised by Aunt Li, for my mother, I rarely see it, and my feelings are not deep, but when I saw her tragic death, her face and arms were full of bruises, and even her eyes were bloody and tearful.

I burst into tears.

As soon as Uncle Li turned around, he found me standing behind him, frowned, and hurriedly comforted me and said, "Be good in July, don't cry in July, Uncle Li will buy you candy to eat tomorrow." ”

When I heard the sugar, my eyes lit up, and I wiped my tears and stopped crying.

Uncle Li sighed, found a stool, cut the rope with scissors, held my mother's body, placed it under the willow tree, and got some willow branches to cover it.

So he asked the coffin maker to bring a coffin from his house.

Soon, the coffin maker came over with the coffin, and Uncle Li hugged my mother in, and then, Uncle Li lit three incense sticks in front of the coffin, pulled me to kneel in front of my mother's coffin, and bowed three times to the ground, making me kowtow three times.

There are words in his mouth: "July mother! It's all my fault for being useless and not protecting you, so for the sake of July, spare the people in our village and go back to where you should be. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the three incense sticks burned in an instant, and Uncle Li asked the coffin maker to carry the coffin to the main hall.

My grandmother has been back for a while because of her parents' affairs, and my father doesn't know why he hasn't come back.

Later, Uncle Li brought his old black dog over, and directly wiped the neck of the black dog with a knife, and the black dog's blood splashed all over the coffin, Uncle Li asked me to stand in front of the coffin, and he stood on the other side, holding a brush in his hand, stained with black dog blood, and didn't know what to write on the coffin.

The strange thing is that every time Uncle Li finishes painting, dense red words will appear on the coffin, and those words are like a pair of eyes staring at my scalp numb.

My calves trembled, and I asked in fear, "Uncle Li, what's wrong?" ”

"July, you are still young, Uncle Li is here to protect your mother, I didn't do it when your mother was alive, and I should let her go back to where she should go after she dies." When Uncle Li spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.

I saw that he wiped a handful of tears, so I quickly made a phone call to tell my grandmother what happened at home, and when my grandmother heard this, she was anxious to come back to see how my father was, but Uncle Li told her that if she wanted to live, she should not come back for the time being.

After that, he made me kneel in front of my mother, and he lit a kerosene lamp next to the coffin, but the wick was much longer than the normal wick.

I didn't understand, so I knelt in front of my mother's coffin according to Uncle Li's words, and couldn't get up until the kerosene lamp went out.

After Uncle Li finished explaining, he contacted several coffin makers that night and asked them to help carry the coffin to the mountain for tree burial.

At that time, there was a custom in our country that whenever a young man died, he would be buried in a tree, so that the deceased could become one with the tree, so that his life could be continued and his soul could be sublimated.

The coffins nodded again and again, and one of the middle-aged men asked, "Why don't you do it?" ”

"It's too late." Uncle Li dropped this sentence, took out the prepared cigarettes and alcohol, and asked them to guard the coffin first, and when the sun came out, he immediately carried the coffin to the back mountain.

Then, Uncle Li brought a cotton rope soaked in black dog blood and an axe, and took me to the back mountain to look for trees.

Back in the mountain, Uncle Li soon found a peach tree, Uncle Li wrapped the cotton rope around the body of the big tree that was full of three people, and then, in the southeast, northwest and four directions were lit with four incense sticks, and the tree was full of paper money.

"July, get on your knees!"

I was watching intently, Uncle Li suddenly shouted, my legs trembled in fright, and I knelt directly on the ground.

Who knows, I just knelt down and the four incense sticks were suddenly extinguished.

"The stump is buried, the filial daughter kneels, the ghost blows incense, and her mother in July...... You're going to bury us all of you!" But it's also because we can't live because of our own sins, and we can't care about it so much. ”

When the words fell, Uncle Li immediately cut the big axe in the center of the tree, and I watched Uncle Li cut hard, so I took a small shovel to help beside me.

In between, we didn't say a word.

Just when Uncle Li had hollowed out the middle of the tree, Uncle Li walked in with a brush stained with black dog blood.

Uncle Li originally opened the coffin, this is his ability to live, and in a moment, he drew a strange pattern in the tree hole, this pattern I still recognize, when the people in the village died in the past, those old gentlemen painted it when they were doing things.

When the last stroke was finished, Uncle Li collapsed directly in the tree hole, unable to say a word for a long time, and I didn't dare to breathe.

It wasn't until about three o'clock in the morning that Uncle Li weakly picked up the phone and told the coffin makers that they could carry the coffin.

As soon as I connected the phone, I heard the panicked voice on the phone: "This, old man Li, I don't know what's going on, this coffin just can't be lifted!" ”
