Chapter 1 Born deaf
On the third day of the third lunar month in 95, a rare storm swept through the Mojia Zhuangzi at the foot of the Wolf's Ridge Mountain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoFlying sand and rocks, strong winds, so that these unsuspecting people in the mountains are at a loss, no one knows why there is such a big storm in such a mountain. But no one cares about the reasons for this.
Because in this small mountain village of less than half a hundred, such a storm means serious damage to the unguarded crops.
The villagers of Mozhuang were hiding in the storage cellar, where kerosene lamps were lit, and the village chief of Mozhuang looked at the villagers all looking haggard, frightened, or depressed. As we all know, this year's efforts may have been in vain again.
The village chief was a young man who was not standing enough, and he opened his mouth, and his dark face was tightly wrinkled together, obviously feeling powerless about the current situation. He took over the position of village chief from his father, and he also thought about taking everyone out of this mountain, but he had just taken office, and there was this strange storm, and the losses were heavy, which made him unwilling.
A pair of hands rested lightly on the hands of the village chief, who bowed his head, his face softened considerably, and her wife continued to comfort him as always.
It's just that...... Looking at his wife's bulging belly, the village chief's heart throbbed again.
It was only at this time that the wooden planks at the entrance of the cellar shook violently, and the sound of rattling surprised everyone. Look at the place where the voice came from.
"Maybe it's just the wind." Someone said. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but when they thought about it, everyone was in the cellar, and what else could be outside, but the fierce wind was at work.
It wasn't long before they retracted their original ideas.
The villagers hugged each other in horror, and the village chief hugged his frightened wife, his face was also covered with cold sweat.
The planks at the entrance of the cellar were no longer shaking, but making a thumping sound, as if someone was hitting it, and it became more and more intense, and even they could feel the cellar shaking slightly.
"Will it ...... Anyone else outside? Someone asked tentatively. As soon as the words fell, there was another loud bang at the mouth of the cellar. The man was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak again.
Looking at the wooden plank that was obviously bent, the village chief shook his head with a heavy face, no one knew better than him that the wooden plank was clamped with steel bars that he had paid someone to get, just for fear that someone would break the wooden plank and run to steal something to eat. And those steel bars are intertwined, and it is easy for a person to move him, let alone like now.
I can only say that the ...... outside Not people!
"Mo, Moqi. I, my stomach ......" a cry of pain rang in my ears. The village chief was startled and hurriedly helped his wife, and under the dim light, streams of water stains flowed out from under his wife's body.
"He's going to give birth...... an old voice came out, and then a mother-in-law wearing a blue cloth came out of the crowd.
"Grandma, my daughter-in-law!" The village chief shouted anxiously.
"Don't worry, don't worry! Let me see. Let me see. Grandma said and squatted down. Looking at the wife who is inhaling in pain.
The village chief had no time to pay attention to the noise outside, and watched Grandma check on his wife.
"You guys, go find some hot water, quilts, and warm things, and those mothers-in-law don't be idle, come over to help, and surround her." Grandma commanded. Everyone was in a hurry, this grandma was a midwife in her early years, and everyone didn't have any meaning.
"Peng!" There was a loud noise, so that everyone was stunned, and the village chief turned around, but just now, the cellar mouth had been broken. A howling cold wind came in.
Everyone only felt a chill coming, which made everyone very unhappy.
"Ahh A terrible shout, but it came from Grandma.
The village chief hurriedly turned around, but saw the blood all over the ground, and the grandmother fell to the ground, but on the hands, only two bare wrists remained, and the two palms were missing.
Her wife also fell to the ground with a pale face, and the village chief felt the blood around her body congealed.
"Ahh It's a ghost! The crowd cried out. The village chief also had a palpitation in his heart, the ghosts in the mountains, they were the people in the mountains who knew how terrible those things were. But under the hem of his wife's clothes, blood was still flowing out. Regardless of the taboo, the village chief Mo Qi squatted down, lifted his wife's clothes, and a bloody thing slipped out of his lower body, and he reached out to catch it in a daze.
Blood was all over the body, but it was still able to knock out, it was a newborn baby.
Hurriedly wrapped his clothes, Mo Qi trembled and touched his wife's snort, and when he detected the subtle breath, he breathed a sigh of relief.
When he was stunned, a dog barked and broke the silence.
Watching the sunlight fall into the cellar, the whole village was relieved, this night, they had a too strange time, looking at the child in the hands of the village chief, and then looking at the grandmother and his wife who fell to the ground, the eyes of a group of people flashed countless suspicions and doubts.
"Village chief, this kid ......"
"Let's get people back up." Mo Qi sighed.
Everyone also went out one by one silently, and it was a mess outside, but people are still alive, which is more important than anything else.
"Village Chief! Check this out! ”
Placing his children in the care of other women, Moqi heard someone shouting.
hurriedly ran over, but gasped.
Own dogs, more than that! All the dogs in Zhuangzi are here, but they are all bleeding from their mouths and noses and are dead.
So, where did the barking of dogs they heard come from?
The coolness gradually hit, and Mo Qi didn't dare to think about it anymore. They mountain people already have a lot of taboos, and now they dare not make conclusions. I had to leave it alone.
"Inform others, close doors and windows at night, and notify if there is an unexpected gong ringing." Mo Qi commanded.
In the following months, everything was peaceful, the village had begun to rebuild, and Grandma woke up, but she didn't talk much anymore, just said that this thing was her own sin, and she didn't blame the village chief's family, and her hand has not been found so far.
The wife had also woken up, and the village chief's child had no other illness except that he was a little thin, which made the couple very happy.
But things always backfire.
Because when their children were older, they found that their son couldn't speak. Just crying blindly.
The village chief, Mo Qi, was a little anxious, and her wife reassured him that he might have been born prematurely and was growing late.
But when my son grew up to be three years old, he finally knew some words, but when he talked to him, he never responded, just blindly talked to himself. Only then did the couple understand the seriousness of the matter.
I found a time to go to the hospital in the town, but it brought dizzying news.
Their son could not hear!
Looking at his son who was looking at him blankly and his wife who was crying in a low voice, Mo Qi thought of that stormy night again, and could only sigh after all.
Silently led his son home.
Three years later, the village chief brought back a novelty for his son, supposedly called a hearing aid. No one knows how much money it spent, but with this, their son was finally able to talk to them.
"Baba, mother......" Since then, in the mountains, an awkward voice can often be heard repeating over and over again.
"So lonely, so lonely......"
"You come with me, accompany me ......"
Mo Qi looked at his son who practiced speaking alone, and sighed in his heart that his son was diligent. It's just that where did you learn these words?
Before he could think about it, he heard his son suddenly turn to him and say.
"Daddy......"
Mo Qi looked at his seven-year-old son, and suddenly thought, should he be allowed to fulfill his wish?
"Son, would you like to go to school?" Moqi asked.
The seven-year-old lowered his head, muttered something, nodded, and said, "Yes." ”
Mo Qi smiled, he, a mountain man, didn't know much culture, but he still touched his son's head with relief and said, "Okay! Dad takes you to school. ”
Even if he couldn't hear it, at least his son tried hard enough.
Moqi went out. His son looked at his back. Suddenly said: "Really, really, don't lie to me." ”
After a while, Fang nodded slowly, and said to himself again: "Okay, I, let's leave." ”
It's just this creepy scene, no one can see it.
