Chapter 116: Mother's Cry
After the village chief left, the cat lady also swooped up the wall and soon disappeared.
I froze there for a long time, until I heard a tingling in my eye.
The tingling pain was unbearable, as if someone was pricking my eyes with a needle, and the pain made my cold sweat come out at once, and I raised my hand violently, covered my eyes, and gasped for breath.
But the stinging pain quickly disappeared, my eyes returned to normal, and I let out a soft breath, slowly opened my eyes, and raised my head.
But when I looked up, I noticed that everything in front of me had changed.
It was night, and it was so dark that I could hardly see anything, but my eyes could see everything clearly.
I could see the trees in the yard, the stools under them, and the houses around me, as if it were daytime.
I was amazed and my eyes were ......
It took me a while to realize that I had night eyes, and my eyes were able to see at night!
Even in the dark of night, I was able to see everything clearly, and the night didn't exist for me.
"I have night eyes!" I couldn't help but shout in surprise.
The eyes that my grandfather opened to me were originally different, not only with the function of yin and yang eyes, but also with the function of fiery eyes, and now, there are night eyes!
It's a really gratifying feeling.
Just as I was standing in the courtyard and excited, I suddenly heard a cry coming from our hall.
The woman's cry, and I heard it when I listened closely, was my mother's cry.
In the middle of the night, why is my mother crying?
I frowned, then walked into the hall, gently pushed the door open, and when I entered the living room, I heard my mother's cry coming from her and my father's bedroom.
I walked to their bedroom door, put my ear to the door, and listened quietly.
Mom's crying was very suppressed, but she cried very sadly.
The door to this bedroom was unlocked, and with a gentle push of my hand, I pushed open a thin slit without making any sound, and I looked through the crack into the bedroom.
I saw my father sitting on the bed with his back to the door, and my mother kneeling under the bed, kowtowing to the grave under the bed, and crying.
Mom said while crying. "My poor son, Mom and Dad will never see you again, but Mom misses you very much, as soon as Mom closes her eyes, all your shadows are in front of her, but my poor son will never come back, woo woo!"
I didn't just think of the grave I saw under the bed during the day, when I was tidying up my bedroom.
That's a grave for me!
And now the third mother is kneeling in front of the grave in the middle of the night and crying, crying for her son.
But isn't her son me? I'm still alive and well, why is she crying?
I couldn't help but think of what my dad said in the snake cave again, he said. "You are not our son, our son is long dead."
My heart jumped, could it be that I was really not their son, and their son would have died a long time ago?
Then I denied it, how is this possible?
It's ridiculous to think about it, I have lived in this mountain village for more than ten years, and now I am suddenly told that the people in this mountain village are not people, but ghosts, and my parents are not actually my parents, and I am not their son.
It's just too much to accept.
At this time, my mother's voice came again. "Our son died at such a young age, what a miserable death, I hate, I hate......"
That's when my dad said. "Huilian, don't be sad, everyone has their own life, life and death are in heaven, maybe, that is the life of our son."
Mom wiped her tears and said. "Our son is dead, but he is still alive, he occupies our son's body, although I try to treat him as my own son, but I can't do it, because I know he is not our son."
Dad sighed and said. "Huilian, you can't blame Wuxin for this matter, he is just an innocent child, although he is not our biological son, but he shares a body with our son after all, and Wuxin He is a good child, if it weren't for him this time, how could the two of us come out of the snake hole? He saved us! ”
Hearing this, my mother's crying was a little quieter. "Yes, I also know that this can't be blamed on Wuxin, it's not his fault, he's also a poor child, if you want to blame that ruthless old woman, it's all caused by that old woman, it's all her."
Dad said. "Huilian, don't say that, she is our mother after all......"
"Mother, Mother, you know that she is your mother, but you have forgotten how she treated our son, if it were not for her, how could our son have died? Our son is still so young, it's her own grandson, she ......"
As she spoke, her emotions became agitated again, and her father hurriedly jumped off the bed, walked to her side, patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her. "Huilian, the reason why my mother did this is also to save the people in the village, so don't hate her anymore."
Hearing this, the old mother threw herself into her father's arms and began to cry.
I gently closed the door and stepped out.
I listened to the conversation between my father and my mother just now, word for word.
Listen to them, I am indeed not their son, their son died at a very young age, and I only took their son's body, and the reason why it became like this is because of my grandmother?
From their conversations, I can only deduce so much, but I am also confused about what is going on.
I can't calm down for a long time, isn't the truth on the surface the truth? On the surface, I am their son, but in reality I am not.
And my grandmother, who has always been a weak and virtuous mountain village woman in my impression, but after a while, I suddenly found that my grandmother is not as simple as I imagined.
I remembered my grandfather's words before he died, he said that he had never been sorry for anyone in his life, and the only person who couldn't stand it was my grandmother, and my grandfather asked me to take good care of my grandmother for him.
I didn't tell anyone about my grandfather's death, nor did I tell my grandmother, but my grandmother seemed to know about it.
It was because I knew about my grandfather's death that my grandmother became chattering for a while, and her spirit seemed to be a little abnormal.
And my parents, maybe not my parents, suddenly I felt that they were so strange to me.
Maybe I'm also a stranger to them.
I stood at the door of the hall for a long time, and then my mother's crying gradually died down, and peace returned to their bedroom.
And at this time, I suddenly remembered my grandmother.
So I hurried back into the hall and came to my grandmother's bedroom door with my feet lightly, and I put my ear to the door and listened carefully, and found that there was no movement in it.
Grandma must have fallen asleep at this time, but why did I suddenly have a bad feeling? So without any hesitation, I reached out and pushed the bedroom door open, and when I looked inside, I found that the bed in the bedroom was empty, and my grandmother was not sleeping in the bed at all.
I chuckled in my heart, it's so late, grandma didn't sleep in the bedroom, where did she go?
I hurried out of the hall and into the courtyard, and searched around the courtyard, but I couldn't find my grandmother's shadow.
Then I went out again, and I still had a strong premonition that my grandmother was no longer at home.
I looked around the village, and at this time all the villagers were sleeping, and there was a dead silence, and I didn't find my grandmother.
After tossing and turning for more than half an hour, I walked back towards the house in despair, and as soon as I reached the door of our house, I saw a black shadow sneakily running towards the back of our house.
Because I just had a night eye now, I could see the back of that person clearly at once, and it turned out to be Zhang Lianshan, the village head.
Why is it him again? Before, he secretly appeared at our house and wanted to beat me with a stick, but fortunately he was saved by the cat lady.
Then he threw down his stick and ran away from the wall, but how did he reappear now?
Or he didn't actually leave at all, he was still hanging around our house, this village chief made me feel a little wrong for the first time, usually I have a good impression of the village chief, he is a man, and he is steady, usually amiable, is an elder worthy of my respect, but now I suddenly found that the village chief is not as simple as I seem on the surface.
So, I quietly followed, I wanted to see, what did the village chief want to do?
