The child born in a coffin with a wedge (below)

Mrs. Wang held the newborn baby in her arms, looking at the fat little face and serene appearance, and all her fears disappeared at once. She had a bold decision to raise this child. However, she still had concerns in her heart, although she said that she was not afraid of the child, but this did not mean that the rest of the village could tolerate the child born in the coffin. They must think that this child is a demon.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang flinched a little, and she wanted to put the child back in the tattered coffin. However, when her hand was raised in mid-air, the baby in her arms seemed to notice something unusual, and immediately began to cry again.

This cry not only broke through Mrs. Wang's psychological defense, but also made her more determined in her decision just now - she must raise this child, but she can't let the rest of the village find out about this.

She pondered, and finally closed the lid of the coffin, and hurried home with the sleeping baby in her arms.

Early the next morning, the people of the village came to Li Wala's house to prepare for the burial of the body, but they did not open the coffin, after all, no one wanted to see Li Wala's strange corpse again. They found that there was no one in the mourning hall, and Mrs. Wang didn't know where Lu Dao had gone, so the people in the village sent someone to find Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang just said at the door that she was scared at night and came back.

It does require extraordinary courage for a lonely old man to keep a mourning hall alone in the vast dark night, even if it is an adult man. After listening to Mrs. Wang's explanation, the people in the village did not have any suspicions, so they buried Li Wala's coffin.

Since then, Mrs. Wang has rarely left the house except for the necessary work in the fields. At that time, materials were extremely scarce, and Mrs. Wang had no milk to feed her children, so she barely fed the baby with some vegetable soup and porridge.

In this way, five years have passed, and the child has grown up little by little. Mrs. Wang looked at the child growing up day by day, her heart was so happy, she even completely forgot that the child was born from a coffin, and only regarded him as her own child.

Mrs. Wang didn't want to be called a mother by her children, she felt that she was too old, so she asked her children to call her grandma. Although Mrs. Wang has no culture, she said that it is easy to feed her life, so Mrs. Wang named the baby Silly Baby.

It's okay when the stupid baby is not sensible, but as he grows older, the stupid baby becomes more and more curious about the outside world, he doesn't understand why his grandmother will never let him get out of this short and narrow room, he wants to go out of the land to play, and wants to run desperately in the fields outside. However, every time she made this request, Mrs. Wang would become very strict and resolutely not let him go.

However, after all, the paper could not keep the fire, and out of the yearning for the outside world, the silly baby still ventured out of the house. On that day, Mrs. Wang went to work in the field, and the silly baby ran out of the house and wandered around. It was the first time he had left the dimly lit hut of Mrs. Wang, and although the village was not large, he was still lost, and he saw that every house was very similar.

Unable to find her way home, the silly baby sat on the ground and began to cry, attracting many onlookers from the villagers. The villagers asked the child who the parents were, and the stupid baby had no concept of parents in his mind at all, he just heard Mrs. Wang say that he picked it up in the field, so he said that he was Mrs. Wang's grandson.

The people in the village were very surprised, and it was a common problem of the villagers to like to join in the fun, and when they heard the child's words, they immediately doubted the child's background. That Mrs. Wang's husband died when she was young, and since then she has been a lonely person, how can she have an extra grandson for no reason, and this child is like popping out of thin air.

The villagers sent the silly baby to Mrs. Wang's house, and at that time, Mrs. Wang was already crying urgently, and she didn't let go when she saw the silly baby hugging her.

The people in the village questioned Mrs. Wang about the life of the stupid baby. At first, Mrs. Wang said that she had picked it up from the field, but such nonsense could only be used to deceive children, and adults did not believe such a statement at all.

After several confrontations, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to change how she met the stupid baby. Of course, the villagers still don't believe it, thinking that Mrs. Wang is full of nonsense, and some people even say that Mrs. Wang stole Han a few years ago. Mrs. Wang couldn't accept such a statement at all, a few years ago, she was already sixty years old, and it was an insult to talk about stealing people.

Mrs. Wang proposed to dig up the grave to find out. It is also that the life in the village is too ordinary, and there is nothing else to do in the life of the villagers, so they really dug out the coffin of Li Wola, opened the coffin and looked at it, sure enough, the situation is as Mrs. Wang said, in the whole coffin, there is only a seriously rotten skin left, but even Li Wala's bones have not been seen.

Mrs. Wang thought that this matter would end like this, but when the villagers learned about the life of this stupid baby, it was obviously impossible for them to tolerate him continuing to stay in the village. The fortune teller in the village even bluntly said that the stupid baby was a monster and should be killed.

Mrs. Wang worked hard to protect the silly baby, there was no way, she could only tell the villagers that she would throw the silly baby away by herself, and from then on, the people in the village would never see the silly baby again. The villagers only gave Mrs. Wang three days.

That night, Mrs. Wang and the silly baby buried their heads and cried, and stayed up all night. Mrs. Wang said to the silly baby: "Silly baby, you are not my grandson in the first place, and it is God's destiny for you to go." Grandma's body is also old, and it is estimated that she will not live long, if I die, the people in the village will not let you go, but you can rest assured, grandma has no children and no daughters in her life, and she has raised you for five years, which is really the happiest thing in grandma's life, grandma will not leave you alone, tomorrow we will go to the city to find you a good family, grandma will not see what you will look like when you grow up. ”

The silly baby is still young, and she can't understand what Mrs. Wang said at all, but she just felt that she was about to be separated from the grandmother who got along with her day and night, so she cried and said: "Grandma, grandma, I will never go out again, I will stay at home, don't be stupid." ”

But what's the use of talking about it now? Early the next morning, Mrs. Wang took all her savings for decades and prepared to go into the city to find a family to adopt him for the silly baby.

In 1951, shortly after the founding of the People's Republic of China, human trafficking was still happening in remote areas. Mrs. Wang entered Chifeng City and met three buyers after two days of wandering. However, the first two buyers, Mrs. Wang, did not look like a good person, and she was afraid that if she sold the stupid baby to them, she might become a thief or something else in the future. The last buyer, although the price is significantly lower, seems to give people a very down-to-earth feeling.

The man was dressed in a green tunic and a pair of glasses, and looked to be at least fifty years old. When he introduced himself, he said that he was an old scholar, with no wife and no children, but he liked children very much, and hoped that he would have an offspring.

Mrs. Wang is from the mountains, and when she heard that the other party was an intellectual, she immediately felt that the other party was superior, and felt that if the stupid baby followed this person, she might have a big future in the future.

The old scholar inquired about the situation of the silly baby, and found that he was indeed fatherless and motherless, and after negotiating the price, he wanted to buy the silly baby. Before leaving, the silly baby and Mrs. Wang hugged and cried again, and the silly baby said that she didn't want to leave Mrs. Wang, but Mrs. Wang knew that if the child went back to the village with her, he would die sooner or later, so although it was heartbroken, it had to be like this.

The old scholar gave the money to Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang took the money and divided it into two parts, and returned one of them to the old scholar.

The old scholar took the money, was a little surprised, and asked, "Sister, what do you mean by this?" ”

Mrs. Wang wiped her tears and said: "This old man, I see that you are a learned person, so I sold the stupid baby to you, my old lady is not asking for money, but I just hope that this child can be raised by a good family in the future, although the old man is a person, but after all, he is from the city, I will return this half of the money to you, you take this money to buy some good food for my grandson, don't treat him badly." ”

The old scholar saw that Mrs. Wang was really reluctant to be a stupid baby, so he proposed not to buy it, but Mrs. Wang resolutely disagreed, and finally had to accept half of the money that Mrs. Wang returned.

Before leaving, Mrs. Wang said: "Master, don't worry, I will never come to find a stupid baby again, I just want to ask your surname, so that I can leave a thought for my old lady in the future." ”

The old scholar couldn't bear to look directly into Mrs. Wang's tearful eyes, but said in a low voice: "Don't worry, eldest sister, I will definitely raise this child well and let him be a useful talent." My surname is Wang, and my name is Wang Yusheng, if you want to think about your grandson in the future, you can come and see him at any time. ”

Mrs. Wang left silently with tears in her eyes, she couldn't go to see the stupid baby anymore, because she was grief-stricken all the way, and her old body couldn't stand the toss, and she died before she returned to the village.
