Chapter 33: Once Upon a Time in Kanto
The sky is a gloomy gray, in the wind and snow, the sky and the earth have become hazy, Wang Xiaobai doesn't know what's going on, let alone do anything, he can only continue to chant the mantra, in a trance, the scenery seems to be closer, Wang Xiaobai can't do it if he doesn't want to see it, his eyes seem to be frozen, among these people, the leader is an old lady in her fifties, withered, thin, wearing a black cotton jacket, wearing a black felt hat, also carrying a big burden on her back, her hands in her sleeves, bending forward.
The old lady is small-footed, walking in the front, the female corpse at the bottom of the river followed her, and the people behind were all hardcover men in their twenties and thirties, the terrible thing was that everyone was embarrassed, and their physical strength was at the limit, and everyone's eyes were full of despair, but they didn't dare to stay for a moment, and they walked forward slowly with difficulty and concealment.
The female corpse was holding a child, staggering into the snow, and a man in his thirties in the crowd hurriedly stepped forward to help the female corpse, distressed: "Shufen, be careful, don't fall yourself and the child!" ”
It turned out that the female corpse's name was Shufen, which was really a dirty name...... As soon as Wang Xiaobai thought of this, the old lady in front of her suddenly turned her head, her eyes widened angrily, her cheeks trembled, and she was violent, like a tigress, and shouted sadly: "Let's go all the way from Shandong to the Northeast, and the whole village is left with a few of us, Shufen, if you can't stand up by yourself, no one can help you, don't blame me for being a mother-in-law, if you want to blame this damn world......"
Shufen's face turned pale again when the old lady said it, her lips were not even red, and the man who was holding her felt sorry for her daughter-in-law, and said to the old lady in front: "Mother, I have been walking for three days and three nights in a row, and I have eaten such a mouthful of dry food, and more than a dozen have been planted on the road, and the big guys are gone, and if you go down, you can't find Old Uncle Li, everyone has to die here, it's better to find a place to rest first, and then go after you have enough strength......"
The old lady looked up at the sky in silence, the clouds spread to the sky, without the slightest intention of clearing, hesitated, and said sharply: "This is the first snow this winter, it's not big, we are not far from the river, hurry up, if it starts to smoke and snow, there is not even a place to block the wind around, and the big guys have to die here!" ”
Speaking of this, he glanced at the woman, and said in a deep voice: "Shufen, you hold on to me, it's not far away, keep walking!" Da Zhuang, don't get used to your daughter-in-law, this is not at home, we are breaking through the Kanto! ”
The old lady is quite prestigious, even her own son is scared, and she is even more unkind to her daughter-in-law, she simply does not recognize her six relatives, the old lady looks quite prestigious, no one dares to speak, seeing the old lady turn around and leave, the big guys followed, Shufen was a little aggrieved, tears were rolling in her eyes, but she shook off the man's support, stubbornly held the child and continued to move forward.
As the old lady said, after walking for a while, the wind and snow became bigger, and the group also came to the riverside, the old lady's eyes lit up, and she waved her hand to the people behind her, and someone helped the person who fell, mustered up the last strength, and walked quickly towards the river.
There was a man in his forties by the river, wearing a fur hat and a leather jacket, ha, stomping his feet and waiting, behind him was a small boat, it was the small boat under the middle of the river, it didn't look too old, the man saw the oncoming old lady, his spirits lifted, he waved his arms and shouted: "Is it the old Wei Aunt?" My father asked me to wait for you here, hurry up, cross the river and go to Tunzi, so you don't have to suffer......"
"Big nephew, I'm your old Aunt Wei, it's finally here......" The old lady saw the man by the river, moved her little feet and ran forward, looking quite excited, Wang Xiaobai never thought that the old lady with small feet could run so fast, and she couldn't wait to live a new life.
Not only the old lady was excited, everyone was excited, just now she was lifeless and listless, but now she is in good spirits, following the old lady to trot, Shufen's physical strength has reached the limit, swaying and can't keep up, Da Zhuang feels sorry for her daughter-in-law, and supports her to walk quickly.
When I came to the riverside, the wind and snow became bigger and bigger, it was a bit overwhelming, and the man who picked up the people shouted at the top of his voice: "Old Aunt Wei, if you have something to say at home, let's go to the house, it's about to blow the white hairy wind, and now the river has not been closed, you have to hurry, my boat is small, it can only fit five people at a time, you see who goes first......"
Of course, it was Shufen's family who went first, no one rushed to get on the boat with the old lady, after all, there were two women and a child, so Shufen's family got on the boat first, Shufen's family of four, and a man came up, plus waiting for their man, a total of five people, the boat was not big, and it was already the limit to sit five people.
Everyone was very excited, turned their heads to look across the river, for them, across the river is the future home, a new life, where there is a house, food, clothing, and can live...... Hope was on the other side of the river, and they were about to arrive, and even Shufen had a smile on her face when she held the child.
The boat rowed to the center of the river, the river suddenly blew a gust of wind, the hull of the boat tilted down in the strong wind, the swaying force was very large, Shufen held the child is leaning on the boat, because it is holding the child, the hands can not be free at all, suddenly turned over into the cold river water, the pillar exclaimed, reached out to grab the wife and child, but caught a void.
Shufen fell into the river, still holding the child, at this time she had only one thought, lifted the child, fluttered and lifted the child over her head, at this time the wind was blowing stronger and stronger, the pillar was already panicked, at the critical moment, the old lady pulled the pillar away, and shouted: "Useless things, what are you panicking?" ”
The old lady climbed to the boat gang and reached out to grab it, the old lady's purpose was very clear, only the child, and leaned down and grabbed the small quilt wrapped in the child, because she was afraid that the child would be cold, the small quilt had been tied up with a strip of cloth, like a package, the old lady grabbed the package and held it in her arms, Shufen floated and sank in the river, wanting to catch the boat gang, the old lady also reached out to grab it, but there was already a distance.
The cold river water froze Shufen's whole body in a moment, and the blood seemed to be out of circulation, and the pillar exclaimed again and again, wanting to jump into the river to save his daughter-in-law, but at this time, the wind began to rage, blowing the white-haired wind, the white-haired wind actually refers to the blizzard, the wind blew the fluttering snowflakes, and rolled the snow on the ground and the snow falling from the clouds, the ground and the sky were white, and the visibility was extremely bad.
In this case, it will be difficult for people to breathe, the pillar is really going to jump into the river, and he will definitely not be able to get up, and the pillar is too excited, and the boat is even more shaky, just at the moment when the pillar is about to jump into the river, the old lady slapped him in the face, and shouted coldly: "Are you going to kill everyone?" Are you going to kill me? If the daughter-in-law is gone, you can find ...... again."
Shufen has no strength to struggle, her body is frozen, and she is sinking, the last thing she heard is the old lady's words, and what is even heavier is her heart, she married the pillar at the age of sixteen, got up early and worked greedily in the dark, gave birth to the pillar, took care of the elderly, what did she do wrong?
The other side is home, and the other side is the place where she has walked for nearly half a year and has gone through a lot of hardships to be fed and clothed...... Why? Why do this to me...... Shufen was not struggling, her eyes stared at the boat in the wind and snow, and gradually sank, she was already frozen and stiff, and she only twitched a few times in the cold river water.
The breathing stopped, the heartbeat was gone, and a breath of resentment suddenly steamed, she wanted to get on that boat, she wanted to get on that boat, and suddenly her body was much lighter, and she floated upward, and the boat that had rowed to the river was pulled by a strange force after everyone went ashore, and floated back.
"Boat! Boat! How did the ship move on its own! The rowing man pointed to the wooden boat and shouted loudly, the lost pillar and the old lady holding the child, and the few people who had just disembarked from the boat, all looked back, in the strong wind, a pair of pale hands grabbed the boat gang, and the pillar hurriedly shouted: "It's Shufen, Shufen is not dead!" ”
The old lady's face turned pale, and she shouted in a sad voice: "Shufen, you are dead, don't toss the living, if you are unwilling to die, find my old lady to take revenge......"
The wooden boat was drenched in the water and grabbed with both hands, the wind agitated heavily, and suddenly overturned, suppressed Shufen's body, and sank, a bad corner of the boat gang, hanging the burden that Shufen was carrying, and it sank slowly, I don't know why, Wang Xiaobai felt the same way, and even his eyes were sinking with Shufen's body.
Wang Xiaobai felt Shufen's sadness and despair, it was a kind of heart-wrenching sadness, the despair of all hope suddenly extinguished, a tear suddenly flowed out of the corner of Shufen's eyes in the river, crystal clear, but it did not merge with the river, Wang Xiaobai's heart also sank, and then he was violent, resentful, helpless, and unwilling...... All kinds of negative emotions appeared around Shufen, like a stream of cold water enveloping her whole body.
These negative emotions also wrapped Wang Xiaobai, making him feel that his chest was about to explode, the picture stopped here, Wang Xiaobai's eyes were dark, all the negative emotions hit him at this moment, under the extreme depression, Wang Xiaobai had to find an outlet, otherwise he felt that his chest was about to explode, and couldn't help shouting: "Shufen!" ”
A sentence of Shufen's mouth, like a thunderbolt, Wang Xiaobai himself didn't expect him to shout so loudly, Shufen's two words caused the reaction of the female corpse, the demonic hair suddenly stiffened, and even became a little loose, Wang Xiaobai keenly felt this change, his hands jerked up, and the two yellow sheets were together, exuding a strong golden light.
The black hair that was wrapped around Wang Xiaobai suddenly spread out, as if he was frightened, Wang Xiaobai kicked up with both feet, all he had to do now was to surface and breathe, otherwise he would have to suffocate in Jiang's heart.
