Zhang Duangong stared at the words on the coffin board and cried, touched the baby's forehead and said: "I have read the book of sages and sages, and after raising people, I have done such a thing that is not as good as a pig and a dog." The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unhappy, this thing starts from you, it will end up with you, the baby can't live without a mother, I can't do too much, this baby will be handed over to you, don't come to me in the future, I won't interfere in this matter anyway. ”

Zhang Duangong handed over the baby to my father, and he didn't want to stay in front of the empty coffin for a second longer, so he turned around and left.

The father was stunned when he held the baby, and the grandmother stared at the baby for a long time, and then she reached out to grab the baby, and scolded and said, "Can the dead and the dead give birth to the living?" This doll is a metamorphosis, and it was quickly put into a coffin and buried. ”

Dad used to obey his grandmother's words, but this time he pushed his grandmother away, and his brows were twisted into knots: "Don't do anything hurtful anymore, the baby is not at fault." ”

Grandma stomped her feet angrily: "What did that crazy woman do to our family?" This doll was not born to you and her, and I don't bother to care about you if you want to be this green king. ”

Grandma finished speaking and walked away with a hoe.

Dad held the baby and stroked it for a while before I was able to take the tools they had brought home with them.

Everyone in the village knew that Dad and they had gone to dig their mother's grave, and although they didn't want to do this hurtful thing, they liked to see this kind of strange thing, and many villagers were waiting for us to come back in front of the house.

But when they saw their father coming back with a baby, they were all stunned.

Immediately, a villager came up and asked, "Who belongs to this doll?" ”

Dad told them truthfully: "Xiao Wazi was born by his mother, lying in the coffin, and we brought it back." ”

Most of the villagers didn't say anything, and they didn't want to look at my family's affairs because they felt unlucky.

People who are usually close to my family also shook their heads and sighed: "What kind of sin has this been done, and this kind of retribution has been suffered." ”

The father ignored their words and carried the child into the house.

Grandma watched Grandpa in the house, and Dad went into the stove house to make sugar water for the baby.

Grandma didn't want to take care of the baby, because her father was angry, she didn't cook that day.

However, the baby will cry when he is hungry, and it is useless to rely on sugar water alone, and in the evening, the baby cries fiercely, and the father carries the baby into the house to beg the grandmother.

But as soon as I entered the house, my grandmother blasted me out, seeing that the baby was getting more and more endless, and my father couldn't help it, so he called me: "Xiao Wazi, go collect thirty eggs, follow me." ”

I immediately went into the house, picked up thirty eggs that I had saved before, put them in a basket, and carried them out with my father.

My father took me to another house in the village.

There is a young woman named Zhang Cui in this family, her own child has just been weaned, her father carried the baby into the house, Zhang Cui's man saw this situation and immediately knew what his father was going to do, let Zhang Cui go into the house, he waved his hand to his father and said, "There is no extra milk, you go quickly." ”

I handed him the eggs and did what my father had told me, "Please save my brother." ”

The villagers are simple, he looked at me and said earnestly: "Big brother, they are all villagers, it's not that we are stingy, if it is Xiao Wazi who wants milk, I won't say half a word, but this doll is unknown, God knows if it is a person or not, I myself have old and young, don't embarrass me." ”

I was still young at the time, and I could understand his difficulties, but my father didn't give up, knelt down in front of him, and said with a crying voice: "I have knelt down in my life to my father and Chen Xiao and his mother, I really can't help it, the baby has no fault, and he will starve to death if he doesn't eat milk." ”

The man finally let Zhang Cui carry the child in, and only after feeding the child did he return it to his father.

I put down the eggs, and my father thanked Zhang Cui and them, and when he left, the man said: "Don't come in the future, you find a way to solve it yourself, if you really can't think of a way, send him to the temple." ”

Daddy Nuo Nuo should be, thank Zhang Cui and them and then go back to the house with the child.

From his house to my house, I will pass a chestnut tree with three hugs thick, but this chestnut tree has been inhabited by insects, and it has not produced chestnuts for many years.

I flipped my flashlight and the man smiled at us, I hadn't seen him.

However, the man walked straight to us, stopped next to my father and looked at the baby in his arms, stretched out his hand and touched the baby's face, and then said with a smile: "Chen Xiao's mother gave birth again?" ”

Dad looked at this man puzzled, and never remembered who he was, but everyone else asked, and Dad still answered him: "Karma, Chen Xiao's mother married and gave birth to a baby, I'm afraid it's a child." ”

The man turned his face to the tiger: "Nonsense! Where is the incarnation, he is clearly a baby for nothing, are you afraid that I will take him away? This baby looks like you, it is clear that it is your own, is there a woman outside? ”

Dad glared at the man angrily, turned me around, didn't want to talk to the man, and walked into the house with a flashlight.

When I was about to enter the house, I said to my father, "Dad, the shoes that person was wearing just now are exactly the same as those worn by my mother." ”

When my father heard this, his face froze on the spot, and he shouted, "Run." ”

With one hand by the hand and the other with the baby in his hand, he rushed into the house, then slammed the door shut, and hurried me into the latch.

Later I found out that I saw the man's shoes, called toad shoes.

In our place, only the dead wear those kind of shoes.

After closing the doors and windows, my father told me not to open the door at night, no matter who calls the door.

I graciously agreed.

After that, my father took me into my grandfather's room to see him, and I was not worried that I was alone in the hall, so he also took me in, and my grandmother was angry when she saw my father, and turned her face away from talking to my father.

But when the baby in Daddy's arms saw Grandpa, he suddenly grinned, smiled innocently, and stretched out his white and tender arms, looking like he was going to drill into Grandpa's arms.

Dad and grandma didn't quite understand, and Dad said, "This doll seems to be very close to Chen Xiao and his grandfather." ”

As he spoke, he hugged the baby to his grandfather's side, and as soon as he arrived next to his grandfather, the baby suddenly said hesitantly: "Dad." ”

The baby looked to be only a few months old and could speak.

Even though I was young at the time, I could understand the weirdness of this.

But what I didn't realize at the time was that the baby actually called my grandfather his father.

My father listened to the baby's words, his whole body trembled, and he leaned down with the baby in his arms, comparing the baby's face with that of my grandfather.

After the comparison, Dad was like crazy, threw the baby on the bed roughly, turned around and took the broom next to the house and asked Grandpa Wang to whip it.

Grandma desperately stopped her father and shouted, "You're crazy, that's your son." ”

Dad also shouted: "I don't have such a son, I made my own daughter-in-law, and gave birth to such a bad seed!" ”

Grandma said, "This doll is a metamorphosis, you must be blinded by him, hurry up and put the broom down for me." ”

My father didn't listen, and my grandmother immediately asked me to call the other elders in the village.

That night, I was very bold, and I ran all over the village house in the dark, and called the second grandfather, my grandfather and others, and the second grandfather asked me what was wrong, and I said, "Dad is going to beat grandpa, you hurry up and save grandpa." ”

As soon as the second grandfather entered the house, he picked up the father who was squatting beside the bed and shed tears, and without saying a word, he slapped a few times, and scolded after the beating: "Turtle son, are you awake?" If you don't wake up, you'll be hit on both feet. ”

Dad didn't resist, wiped away his snot and tears, pointed to the bed and said: "That doll calls him Dad, he looks like him, the family is unfortunate, it doesn't matter if my face is lost, how can you let Xiao Wazi be a man in the future." ”

The second grandfather went to the bedside to see it, and muttered after reading it, but the second grandfather said: "You look like your father, and your baby looks like your father, and your head is?" ”

The grandfather took a cigarette gun in his mouth and said, "It's a scourge to keep this doll, where can you talk so little." Tomorrow I will send him to the temple, and I will never be able to stay. ”

Dad said: "It's not my baby, but him, who else can give birth to such a baby." ”

I couldn't explain this matter in a few words, and now it was not safe for the baby to be placed there, so they discussed it for a long time and decided to let the baby sleep with me for the time being.

Because they believe that my mother will not harm me, and only if I am here will I be safe.

And so, that night they put the baby on the inside of my bed and I lay next to it.

Dad and some elders of the Chen family were talking in the hall.

Naturally, I couldn't sleep, so I looked sideways at the baby, who was grinning at me when he saw me.

I didn't understand anything at the time, but I thought the baby was more playful than the village puppies and kittens, so I went up and smacked him in the face.

But in the middle of the night, my nightmare began again.

I was only in a daze for a long time, and when I opened my eyes, I saw my mother again.

She was standing in front of the bed with the baby in her hands and was breastfeeding.

I stared at my mother, and my mother stared at me, and after a long time, a word came out of my mother's mouth: "Run!" ”

Running on the side of Sichuan and Chongqing represents the meaning of escape.
