Chapter 4: The Broken Heart

Unexpectedly, after the old scalper of my family died, I passed out.

It's really strange to say this, because before that, I had been fine, but all of a sudden, I don't know what happened, suddenly the sky swirled, and then my whole body went limp, and I collapsed to the ground.

When my mother saw me, she was startled and quickly helped me up and asked me what was wrong.

At this time, I couldn't even stand, let alone speak, so in the end I could only roll my eyes and snort with my mouth crooked, but it scared my mother even more.

My mother touched my head and said, "Oh no, why did it burn like this," and then quickly dragged me into the house, helped me to the bed, and then hurriedly fetched me fever-reducing medicine and fed me.

There is a standing antipyretic medicine at home, the name is "Analgin", that thing has a lot of side effects, and now I don't use it much, but at that time, there was only this thing, this thing is very effective, that is, people will be confused after eating it.

My mother gave me two tablets of analgin directly, and I was immediately stunned by the drug, and my consciousness was completely confused, and then I fell asleep unconsciously.

I don't know how long it took to sleep, but in my dream, I only felt that there was a small figure standing next to the bed, grabbing my wrist and dragging me out.

I knew the figure was a little fool, and I wanted to talk to her, but I couldn't, and then I seemed to be dragged out by her, and then I saw a stinking ditch with dead pigs and rotten dogs.

The little fool stood on the edge of the stinking ditch with his back to me, motionless, looking at the ditch in a daze, not knowing what he was looking at.

Then, just as I was wondering, she suddenly jumped into the ditch.

"Don't, little fool, don't jump!"

Seeing this, I didn't think I was screaming in shock, and I rushed towards the stinky ditch, trying to save the little fool.

As a result, what I didn't expect was that at this time, a blister suddenly appeared in the ditch, and then a pair of black hands as thin as bamboo were stretched out.

The black hand grabbed my ankle and dragged me into the ditch.

"Help, help, I don't want to die!"

I screamed in panic and struggled desperately, when suddenly someone pushed me on the shoulder, and then I woke up, and when I opened my eyes, I realized that I was lying on the bed, and I had not fallen into the water.

My mother sat on the edge of the bed and looked at me with concern on her face.

"Trace, how are you? Did you have a nightmare? I heard you calling just now," my mother said, looking at me.

"I, I'm fine," I took a deep breath, and found that I was soaked with sweat, thinking back to the scene in the dream, I was still a little afraid, and before I knew it, I raised my hand to wipe the cold sweat on my forehead.

Hearing my words, my mother reached out and touched my forehead, nodded and said, "Okay, the fever has subsided a little, but it's not all right, you can rest on the bed, I'll get you something to eat." ”

As my mother spoke, she got up and prepared to cook for me, but at this time, suddenly a voice shouted outside: "Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, come and take a look!" ”

The person who shouted was my third uncle, and he should have come to skin the old ox.

Hearing the third uncle's voice, I asked my mother, "Mom, did you really kill the old scalper?" ”

"What can I do then?" The mother sighed and said: "Such a big cow died like this, if you don't kill and sell meat, you won't be able to get back any capital, you don't care about these things, let's sleep and nourish your body first." ”

When my mother had finished speaking, she turned and went out, and I lay on the bed for a while, feeling some sympathy for the old cow, so I struggled out of bed, and went outside step by step, wanting to take one last look at the old cow.

When I arrived in the yard, I found that the third uncle was really skinning the old cow, and the old cow was placed in a large rattan frame at this time, and the stomach had been cut open, and a lot of internal organs were pulled out, which caused Yin Yin's blood stains everywhere on the edge of the rattan frame, and the smell of blood mixed with the feces and urine of the old cattle's internal organs, forming a very disgusting stench, I almost sniffed it, and almost vomited it.

Neither my mother nor my third uncle noticed me, and they stood beside the old ox's corpse, their expressions very solemn, as if something unusual had happened.

After a while, I heard my mother muttering to herself, "What's going on?" What's going on? Then she lowered her head and tugged at the belly of the cow, as if there was something strange in it.

My mother's actions aroused my curiosity, and I couldn't help but struggle to step forward, and then I looked into the old cow's cracked belly, and I couldn't help but be a little stunned, because I found that the old cow's heart was actually broken.

The kind of crushing of the heart of the old scalper is not a knife cut into pieces, but a kind of minced meat that is vigorously pinched and squeezed by people's hands.

When I saw this situation at that time, I was stunned for a while, because I knew that the cow's heart was a very strong thing, and it was a bit difficult to cut it with a knife, let alone crush it with my hands, which was obviously not done by the third uncle, but if it wasn't made by the third uncle, then what was the matter with the cow's heart?

At this time, I saw the third uncle frowning, holding a boning knife in one hand and a horn in the other, breaking the cow's head, and said to his mother: "Second sister-in-law, look here, you cow died wrong." ”

"What else?" The mother was puzzled for a moment, and looked down at the old cow's head.

I also took advantage of the situation to take a look, and at this glance, I was stunned again, because I found that there was a small bloody handprint on the head of the cow.

What's going on?

When I saw this, I couldn't help but sink in my heart, and instantly thought of last night's dream, and then I raised my wrist to look at it, and found that the fingerprints on my wrist became more and more bright red, which made me understand the strangeness of this, this cow definitely did not die normally, it was very likely to be killed by the little foolish ghost!

The cow died to save me, and it made me feel so confused that I wanted to tell my mother what had happened.

What I didn't expect was that my mother didn't seem to see the bloody handprints on the cow's head at this time, she just followed the third uncle's movements, lifted the cowhide on the cow's head, and looked at the cow's skull.

At this time, I looked at the cow skull again, only to find that the cow skull was actually broken.

"His third uncle, this, what the hell is going on?"

Seeing this situation, my mother couldn't help but be shocked.

"I don't know, so I think it's strange," the third uncle was also full of helplessness, and finally could only squat at the base of the wall, light a cigarette, and smoke while saying to his mother: "Did you offend someone, they deliberately killed this cow?" ”

"Well, we haven't offended anyone lately," my mother turned to see me and asked, "Yiji, are you causing trouble outside?" ”

At this time, seeing the tragic situation of the old ox, I was already full of grief and indignation, so at that time, I couldn't help but say to my mother loudly: "Mom, you, didn't you see the bloody handprint on the cow's head?" That's the little foolish ghost doing something, she's coming for me, this cow died to save me! It was killed by a little foolish ghost! ”
