Hearing the movement in the outhouse, a few adults immediately stopped talking, grandma walked out first, and saw that the other children were still drinking rock sugar water in the east room, and I was standing by the curtain of the hall sneaky look, grandma immediately understood, this is a long-term together, since I was a child, I seem to understand from the bottom of my heart, from my grandmother's eyes, I can know what she wants to say, she also knows what I was doing just now. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

My parents went from the countryside to the city through different ways, but I was sent from the city to the countryside by them, the reason is very simple, the factory discipline at that time was very strict, and the adults in the right age did not have time to watch their children at all, so many children in that era were raised by grandparents or grandparents, and I was the same, since my mother gave birth to me, it didn't take long for my grandmother to take me, and I heard my mother say that for a while I didn't even recognize my mother, which made my mother also sad.

But at that time, I was not sensible, and I didn't know who to talk to, so I could follow whom, at least that's what I thought, I didn't think there was anything wrong with not being with my parents, the colorful life in the countryside, so I even forgot about them, I think they must be living very freely in the city :)

Grandma asked me in a low voice, "Liang, what did you hear just now?" Don't hide it from grandma! ”

"I didn't hear anything, did it rain outside in the house?" I'm ready to prevaricate.

"Don't pretend, you must have heard, but you don't know why, if you want to know, just tell the truth!" Grandma will also do this trick, and she will know that I am bored.

"You said Xiao Jing, and you still said that the little moth or something, and you also said that the corpse was cheated!" Speaking of this, I shuddered myself.

"Alas, I guess you also heard something, I'm afraid this matter really has something to do with Xiao Jing!" Grandma glanced at a few adults in the West House, the second son's father and the second son's mother didn't know what they were talking to the grandmother, and the loaches and four generations in the east house, Xiao Jing was still drinking rock sugar water "slippery, slippery", and the "unconscious" second son was lying on the bed.

Seeing that there were only me and my grandmother in the hall, my grandmother called me to the stove and told me about Xiaojing's life story and the origin of the dancing corpse moth.

It turned out that the little moth they said could dance was also from our village, but she was from outside, their family was a bee picker, she followed her father to us to collect honey when she was very young, and then fell in love with a young man from our neighboring village, at that time free love was not advocated, and people would talk a lot of gossip, but love is like a rooted weed, when it grows crazy, who can control it, just like that, come and go, before the age of marriage, the little moth is pregnant with the child of the young man from the neighboring village, At that time, the medical conditions in the countryside were poor, if it were now, I am afraid that the child would not be able to be saved, but at that time, Xiao Moth loved the man deeply and loved the child deeply, on the other hand, she did not know how not to give birth to this child, so on a quiet spring night, Xiao Moth gave birth to a little girl in the haystack of the field, and she did not let her family know. Someone asked, does she have a big belly? At that time, women, whether they were married or unmarried, were not like now, the more they were exposed, the more fashionable they looked, everyone was wearing wide clothes, so they hid for ten months, but the little moth was bitter, in order not to let everyone see that she was pregnant, she used the red trouser belt to tighten her belly every day, she wanted to say to the child in the belly: "Child, mother is not bitter, but bitter you, if you can give birth, mother will take care of you like pearls, baby" Whenever I think of this, The moth's face will be filled with a happy smile that only a mother can have.

But when that spring night, after she gave birth to her child, she was afraid that her only relative, her old father would be humiliated by everyone because of her unmarried pregnancy, it was okay to humiliate her, but she couldn't humiliate her father, she had no mother since she was a child, and it was not easy for her father to feed her with a handful of and urine, thinking of this, she made a decision to give this child out, but who should she give it to?

When she was hesitating, the second son father happened to chop wood and passed by the haystack, the little moth didn't care about the difference between men and women, and with a bleeding step, he suddenly pounced in front of the second son's father, and knelt down for the second son father with a plop, at that time he had not given birth to a second son, but the fourth generation would already call his father, and the second son's father was also a person who came over, and immediately understood what was going on, and hurriedly helped her up, and said vigorously: "Big sister, don't be like this, you can only kneel your parents on your knees, don't dare to do this!" ”

But the little moth just couldn't get up, so she had to ask the second son's father to promise to help her take the child. The father of the second son was afraid that she would not be able to think about it for a while, so he reluctantly agreed, and carried her to his own home. But how kind the rural people were at that time, and the two sons and parents were all from poor people, so they didn't care about this.

The second son found the brown sugar and eggs for the little moth to cook and eat, the little moth was moved to tears, the second son said: "Moth, don't you dare to do this, you have to be confined, how can you cry like this, it will hurt your body." ”

But no matter how much you persuade her, the little moth is crying.

Or a woman understands a woman, when she sees the little moth crying, she stares at the baby child with good eyes, and the second son understands that she is reluctant, reluctant to give it to others, thinking of the difficulty of a woman, the second son and mother also cried.

In the end, it was a sentence from the second son's father, which reminded everyone, "Don't cry, it's about to dawn, as soon as the day dawns, everyone in the village comes out, how can the child send it if he wants to, little moth, or raise it yourself, don't force yourself!" ”

"No! Big brother, I won't cry anymore, you help me deliver it, I can't be sorry for my father, I can't let him hold his head up in front of the whole village. The little moth immediately got off the kang as she spoke, twisted her head, and was about to go out.

Seeing that the little moth had already made up her mind, the second son also said: "Then help the sister, it just so happens that my eldest cousin's family in the city has always wanted a child, but I haven't had it, so I'll send them, do you think it's okay?" ”

"Okay, as soon as the little moth heard that the child had a master, she knelt down for the second son and mother all of a sudden, crying and instructing, eldest sister, you must let the family treat it well, this child has a hard life, she is pregnant for ten months, and she has been strangled by me with a red trouser belt, I can't live with this child, but I can give me enough food!" As he spoke, the little moth kissed his child affectionately, the cry had become hoarse, and then the little moth's lips had been bitten and bleeding by himself, what a painful realization it was.

"Okay, moth, don't worry, my eldest cousin is good, you can put a hundred and twenty hearts!" The second son comforted the little moth while wrapping the swaddling clothes firmly.

Just as the child was wrapped and ready to be sent by the father of the second son, the little moth pounced on the child again, opened the swaddling clothes, took out a pile of tickets from his pocket, put them into the child's small quilt, and said: "That's all, give it to the child, buy some milk powder!" As he said this, big tears could not stop dripping on the child's face.

"Sister, can I give the child a name? It's not easy to give birth to her once, okay, eldest sister? ”

"Okay, get up!" When the second son heard this, her heart was about to break, and her heart said that this is the mother, if she wasn't forced by this fate, who would want to give her child away.

"Big brother, big sister, let this girl be called Xiao Jing, if people agree, just call Xiao Jing, when she is pregnant, it is quiet, and when she is born, it is also in the quiet night, the child is obedient, does not cry or make trouble, just call Xiao Jing, and when she grows up, she will still look gentle."

"Okay, let's call Xiaojing, big sister, don't worry, no one can change this name, I promise you" The father of the second son said while holding the child carefully, and he didn't dare to look at the face of the little moth at all, and it can even be said that that night was a night that the father and mother of the second son could never forget in their lives.

The second son's father rushed out of the door, and the little moth fell down at the gate all of a sudden, there were no tears, so he opened his eyes and opened his mouth, but the second son's mother was frightened and hurt.

Later, the young man from the neighboring village did not marry Xiao Moth, and heard that their family had already betrothed him, and soon married another girl. But the matter of giving birth to a child has never been revealed, if it weren't for what happened later, I'm afraid that even grandma and grandma would have been kept in the dark, but this world, it's so strange, people are inextricably linked, maybe this is called fate, this is a later story.

Besides, the little moth, since she sent the child away, she was like a lost soul, and she didn't go to put bees with her father, her father thought that the girl was inconvenient, so he asked her to stay at home to do some simple housework, but when she did housework, she was always distracted, either poured cold water into the thermos and fried the bottle, or steamed the rice, and even stood at the gate bare-chested in the summer, looking at the river not far away in a daze.

Some of the people in the village said that the little moth was sick, and some said that the little moth was crazy, and they said everything, and inadvertently it reached the ears of the little moth's father, which was a violent temper, and when he went home, he didn't ask about it, so he gave the little moth two ear scrapers. In the past, not to mention the countryside, it was the city, it was a matter of course for adults to beat their children, no one cared, and they beat them, but they generally didn't beat girls, especially when the girls were older, they said they would marry, and they couldn't stay with their parents for a few days, and which parents could bear to beat their own daughters. But this little moth daddy was beaten when he was angry.

What I didn't expect was that the little moth neither cried nor ran, but stared at his father stupidly until she saw her father panic. Suddenly, she asked her father again: "Xiaojing, you hit the right time, my mother is sorry for you, you hit the right time!" "Confused about her father, but, since then, the little moth father also thinks that his daughter is mentally ill, so he has been locking her at home with a lock and not letting her go out.

But the little moth's illness became worse and worse, and she even stripped naked in the yard, and said that she was a bad woman. Later, one day, after the little moth's father came home and opened the door, he never saw the figure of the little moth, and then looked at her house, the little moth's body was already cold, and he strangled himself with the red trouser belt, and the people in the village said that the red trouser belt looked like an umbilical cord.

This is not nothing, but what happened on the night when the moth was sent off has scared many people in the village half to death.
