Chapter 5: The Death of the Dog Baby (1)
"Xiaoyang, you do your homework today, my mother still has to work in the field, and I won't come back at noon, I brought lunch." Mother's simple and ordinary explanation.
"Oh"
In the past, Long Yang must have gone to the field with his mother to do farm work, but last night he really had no sleep, whether it was the matter of the old patriarch or something ghostly, according to his current comprehension ability, he still needs to think about it for a long time.
Seeing unusual, such as the old patriarch, Long Yang is used to it. There is anything unusual, such as a monster with wings, Long Yang is not used to it.
Finally got a good night's sleep, Long Yang didn't want to think about anything, just wanted to see his father like in a dream.
"Is Qin at home?" Outside, there was a trembling crying voice, like the mother of a dog baby.
"Auntie, are you looking for my mother?" Long Yang immediately got up from the bed when he heard this.
"Xiaoyang! Dog baby, he-" The dog's mother couldn't stop crying before she could finish speaking.
"Auntie, what's going on with the dog?" Long Yang immediately became nervous, after last night's incident, he dared to believe anything, he couldn't believe anything.
"Dog, he left last night! Tell your mother and ask her to come to my house to help. The dog's mother left crying.
It seems that some people don't understand why the mother can go to someone else's house to help the child go. Because you don't live in a mountainous area, people in mountainous areas don't have friendship, no feelings, no family affection, it's because the love is so deep that they do it.
Because it's a close door, it's actually a close door, and it's all notified door-to-door.
When Long Yang arrived, most of the people in the village had already arrived.
In the hall of the dog's house, a wooden bed is placed in the middle.
A white cloth covered a person, a small person.
The dog's mother sat on the ground and wept.
Outside the house, the elders of the village stood and muttered to each other.
Long Yang was blinded.
What's going on?
Long Yang slowly approached the elder's side.
"I heard that the dog baby secretly ran out to play last night!"
"Where has he been?"
"I don't know, I heard the dog's mother say that I went up the mountain to catch mountain birds to play, and when I came home, I lost my soul and became demented, as if I was possessed by a ghost."
"I heard that after I came back, I was chilled, and the dog's mother covered three quilts, and my whole body was shaking."
"Uncle Gouwa went to ask for a doctor outside the mountain overnight, but when the doctor came, Gouwa left."
"Pity this child, his life is not good, and he may be saved if he holds on a little longer."
Hearing these words, Long Yang's scalp was numb, last night? Mountain?
How could things be so coincidental, could it be that the dog baby also went to the top of the mountain last night? Also saw a monster on the mountain? I was already scared half to death, and if the dog saw it, things would be unimaginable.
Long Yang really didn't want to think about it, he felt that if things were really like this, even he wouldn't be able to escape the relationship.
Gouwa, his best friend, Manshan Village, only he and Gouwa go to school.
Gouwa's father is a capable person in the village, and he often goes out to the mountains to do some small business, which is also the only way for the village to contact the outside world.
For example, the novelty outside the mountain was heard by the dog's father.
For example, the wild fruits in the mountains were sold by the dog's father outside.
For example, if a person in the mountains is sick, it was cured by the medicine brought by the dog's father outside the mountain.
For example, the handiwork made by Longyang's mother was helped by the dog baby's father to help exchange money outside.
In this small mountain village, there are two knowledgeable, capable, and capable people, one is Long Shaoyun, and the other is the dog baby's father.
At that time, one had been a soldier outside for many years and had not returned home, and the other was busy at home and working for the villagers.
Later, one went home and the other went out.
Long Shaoyun's army went home and concentrated on taking care of his father-in-law and mother-in-law; The dog baby dad went out of the mountains, sold mountain goods, and passed on knowledge.
Now, Long Shaoyun is dead, and there are no bones left; The dog baby's father is still outside the mountain and has not come back, and he doesn't know that the dog baby at home has had an accident.
"Dog baby, don't cry, when the dog baby father comes back, we will discuss the matter of the dog baby." The patriarch of the village comforted the dog's mother while asking the dog's body to be carried to the ancestral house.
The corpses of small children are not allowed to stay overnight at home, this is the rule of the clan.
Even if the dog mother is unwilling, she can't violate the clan rules. This rule is not a matter of one or two days, it is handed down. If you stay, it will be bad for the people in the family, and it will be bad for the whole village.
No matter how sad the mother was, she couldn't help it, so she knelt on the ground and desperately hugged the dog's body, grabbed the dog's hand, and fainted crying. The villagers finally pulled her hands apart, and several people carried the body of the dog baby to the ancestral house.
The so-called ancestral house is the old house of the old patriarch, which is the most righteous place and the most evil place, and everyone thinks so, at least the people in the village think so.
There are fewer people going now, because the old patriarch is gone, but it is a place that Long Yang often goes.
According to the rules of the village, two people should be arranged, but the villagers were reluctant to come to the ancestral house when they heard that the dog baby had died. The mother of the dog baby has half a life left, and after inviting everyone here, she can't afford it.
"What's going on with the dog?" As soon as Jin Qin came back, she ran to the dog's house, and it is estimated that she will not come back tonight. The dog's mother was looking for death and life, and several women in the village were guarding, and Jin Qin rushed over immediately after knowing it.
Dog, what the hell is going on with you? Do you also see monsters with wings? Impossible, grandpa said that only I can see it, there is something strange in this, there is another reason for the death of the dog baby, this is the conclusion that Long Yang got after the previous examination.
In any case, we must find out the cause of the death of the dog baby, and go to the ancestral house of the old patriarch tonight, since I can see the dead grandfather, maybe I can also see the dog baby, Long Yang wants to know the reason.
You don't have to ask your mother for leave, you can be at home by yourself today. Taking advantage of the moonlight, Long Yang came to the ancestral house.
The people who had been busy all day had already left, and there was no one in the ancestral house.
There were four candles of different thicknesses lit in the ancestral house, white candles, which were made by the people of the village, and no one expected that someone would suddenly die, and it was a child.
The candlelight flickered, and the shadows were sufficient.
Long Yang quietly came to the old patriarch's house, it was still a wooden bed, a white cloth, and there were people under the white cloth.
Long Yang suddenly had an impulse, whether this white cloth was a dog baby, he wanted to see if it was a dog baby, because he didn't believe that the dog baby died easily.
Bold and fearless, besides, he is a good friend and a good brother with the dog. Long Yang emboldened himself.
Long Yang stroked his heart and slowly approached the wooden bed.
"Brother Dogwa, I'm Longyang, if you die unjustly, I will avenge you, don't worry, but I want to see you now, please don't be surprised!" Long Yang muttered as he approached the wooden bed.
"Meow!"
"Fuck the bobcat!" Long Yang was startled, it wasn't a matter of scalp numbness, his hands and feet were already numb.
I was already scared by the old patriarch yesterday, can I not come again. I remember saying it was a bobcat last night, and it really came tonight.
He didn't know:
When the corpse meets the cat, it is unlucky!
