Chapter 10: The Evil Scourge (I)
Sometimes you can not believe anything in the world, but you can't not believe the feeling of a mother.
Nie Niangzi said that the early birth of the child was to accompany the husband and wife.
In fact, time proves a qiē.
In the blink of an eye, it was a month, and the days have changed from the early spring when the winter cold has not dissipated, to the spring of March.
In addition to worrying about whether the demon disaster is coming every night, there is also a worry about the two young sons who were sent away.
This month, the life of Nie Dashi and his wife can be regarded as extremely happy.
Sometimes holding a child with his wife, Nie Dashi feels that there is really no smarter and more sensible child in the world than his own child.
On weekdays, he doesn't cry or make trouble, but he will give the most innocent and happy smile to his parents' teasing.
The black and white eyes seem to be thinking about something, but when they see their parents, they show a warm and gentle gaze.
Nie Dashi is sure that he is not mistaken, this is the gaze that a month-old child will see, if he hadn't already known that he is extraordinary, Nie Dashi would probably think that he and his wife gave birth to a 'monster'.
This is naturally just a joke, in fact, the couple loves this young son very much.
Thinking of what will happen to him in the future, thinking of his loneliness, and pituring his early wisdom and understanding, I wish I would treat him better.
People will not be anxious because of pain, but they will be anxious because of happiness, which is an extremely true feeling.
The reason is that I am afraid that one day I will lose this happiness.
That's what Nie Dashi is!
But being nervous doesn't mean that day won't come.
On this night, a 'blood moon' hung over the town.
The so-called 'blood moon' is not very uncommon, and generally refers to the reddish moon.
The appearance of this kind of moon, the folk will generally think that it is ominous, and within a certain period of time, there will be blood and light, but this is just a folk saying, and it may not be fulfilled every time, and people still don't pay too much attention to it.
However, the people in the town were a little uneasy, just because this round of 'blood moon' was too abnormal, and the general 'blood moon' was only reddish in color, how could there be such a complete red, like the moon was soaked in blood?
So, in this most peaceful time, which should be to share the last warm moment of the day with your family, the people of the town have come out one after another.
Seeing the blood moon in the sky, there was no end to the discussion, and some people even mentioned what that weird crazy old man said last autumn, and everyone began to feel uneasy.
It's like a hunch on the part of people.
"Why don't we go to the government? Let's see what the official said? "Someone mentioned yì.
At times like these, there is nothing more important than finding a little security.
As a result, men from almost every household in the town went to the government together, and the women coaxed their young children at home, but most of the children began to cry for no reason.
It was supposed to be a peaceful night, but a blood moon had become noisy, and behind the noise was a deep sense of unease.
No one knew better than the couple that the evil might be happening tonight.
They are very calm, and after so many months of psychological preparation, they have already had a trace of mortal awareness.
On such a noisy night, they were just busy comforting the child, because he, who had always been well-behaved, had been crying since this evening, and no matter how he coaxed, even taking out his favorite little toys could not make him stop for a moment.
"Forget it, just hold him like this and let him cry. This kid has feelings. Nie Dashi was a little tired, pinched the child's face in swaddling clothes, and was about to give up.
As he spoke, he stood up and walked out of the house.
"Xianggong, where are you going?" Nie Niangzi also became extremely sensitive tonight, and she couldn't leave her husband at a step.
Nie Dashi just walked to the door, straightened the bronze mirror that had been hanging on the door frame, and then hurriedly entered the house and held the lady's hand.
"Time is running out, and I don't want to leave you and my son for a single step." Nie Niangzi leaned on Nie Dashi's shoulder and said softly.
Nie Dashi gently hugged her, looked at the infant child and said, "Son, if you really have a sense, you don't have to worry about me and your mother." We already know what to expect, and our only wish is that you can survive the night in peace, and someone will arrange a qiē for you. ”
The infant child cried even more when he heard this, and there was adult-like sadness in his eyes.
In the midst of his crying, he 'babbled' from time to time, as if he wanted to say something, but he was just a child who had just completed the moon, how could he speak?
That blood moon was just outside the window.
Nie Dashi glanced at it lightly, and said in a tone that he firmly believed that the child could understand: "Son, your mother and I have no regrets. The Taoist promised us that your two brothers would be safe, and it was already our biggest concern. I have loved your mother all my life, and in the last days, you will be on your knees, what is there to be dissatisfied with in life? If you are sensible, in this last moment, I just want the family to be able to spend peacefully and safely together, and not to cry, okay? ”
Miraculously, after Nie Dashi's words of true feelings, the child really stopped crying gradually.
It's just a pair of big black and white eyes, the sadness can't be erased, he still babbles hard, Nie Niangzi couldn't help but bring her ears closer, but she vaguely heard her son constantly shouting a vague word 'go', 'go', 'go'!
"The kid is telling us to go." Looking up, Nie Niangzi had a smile on her face, and said to Nie Dashi, no matter how you look at it, there is a bleak meaning to that smile.
Nie Dashi sighed, put his big hand on Xiao'er's head wearing a tiger head hat, and said, "Child, you can't leave." The people you want to entrust in the future have long told us that this catastrophe cannot be avoided. I only hope that when you grow up, there will still be a trace of me and your mother in your heart, and I will already thank God that this life is complete. ”
"Hmm." The infant child let out a low sorrowful cry with a childish voice, and tears fell from his eyes, but strangely did not make any sound.
This is impossible for any child, unless he is dumb.
But Xiao'er is not dumb, and Nie Dashi and Nie Niangzi will not feel strange about this kind of thing, but they feel more and more sensible about this child and hold him tightly in their arms.
Nie Dashi went to get a pot of wine, and Nie Niangzi tacitly went to prepare two simple snacks for drinking, since it was the last time, why not get drunk? Even Nie Niangzi, who never drank alcohol, drank two glasses with her husband, and listened to him laugh and chant a poem "Will Enter the Wine" by the great poet of the previous dynasty.
Before the pride, what are the troubles of life? In such a hurry, Nie Dashi even dipped some wine syrup with chopsticks and fed it to the infant child.
Nie Niangzi stopped him from messing around, but she didn't want to be a child but struggled to get up by herself, holding the chopsticks in her mouth, but her eyes showed a look of drinking with her father.
"Haha, with this son by his side for more than a month, my life is more complete than many people! Come on, lady, have another drink, you are the only one in the world who can congratulate me on this matter! Nie Dashi had three points of madness in his demeanor, but he was not drunk.
Emotions need to be released, and there is no need to suppress them at this last moment.
But at this time, there was an incomparably loud noise in the town, even a fierce dispute, accompanied by the sound of fighting.
"Xianggong." Nie Niangzi called softly and took the glass of wine from Nie Dashi's hand.
"I'll take a look, and I'll be back." Nie Dashi put down the wine glass in his hand, he understood the thoughts of the kind lady, after all, Xiaolong Town is not big, everyone has been a neighbor for more than three years, and they already have feelings.
The evil calamity can't be said explicitly, and it's already guilty.
In this last moment, the wife hopes that her husband will persuade the people in the town not to miss the last time and leave regrets in vain.
Even if you can't do this, at least don't let the people of the town who were originally blind date and unity become like this in the end, isn't this a disappointment to the friendship that has been together for many years?
As he spoke, Nie Dashi had already walked out of the door.
Nie Niangzi didn't feel at ease and followed the child and couldn't walk two steps, she saw the congested crowd, and gathered next to a small river that flowed through the town, there is a dam here, the Lantern Festival Lantern Market was held here in previous years, but now it has become such a place of dispute.
Of course, it's just the way out of town.
At this moment, the people in the town surrounded a carriage, and Nie Dashi recognized at a glance that it was the largest official car in the town.
People asked the official for an explanation, but they didn't want to reassure everyone, the official got a message and wanted to go first.
Now, the content of the news is not difficult to hear, it turned out that the hunter who returned to the town found that the moon outside is normal, and only when he enters the town, is it a bloody blood moon!
What does this portend?
In times of crisis, people's associative ability will not become weaker, I don't know who it is, and it seems that the crazy old thing has been mentioned again, and it has become very clear now!
