Next Chapter

My mother is a madman, and my father picked it up by the river.

At that time, my mother was crazy, and she couldn't even figure out who she was, my father had been a bachelor for more than 30 years, and the poor family couldn't open the pot, let alone marry a daughter-in-law. It just so happened that a daughter-in-law fell from the sky, she was crazy, but she also had the ability to take care of herself.

But after grandpa looked at the jade pendant on my mother's neck, he didn't agree: "Wei Tianen, can't you find death?" Let me tell you, you can't touch this female doll, this female doll is full of heaven, there is Zhu Dan under her lips, she is a rare nobleman, if you want to marry a daughter-in-law, your father will find one for you. ”

"Find a fart." For the first time, my father confronted my grandfather: "Our poor family can't take the next meal, you are a poor carpenter, how can you have the money to marry a daughter-in-law, you don't want the one that fell from the sky, where can you find it?" ”

Grandpa was hurt by my father's chest, and this matter was over, but grandpa told my father: "This girl doll has a great background, you have to be good to others." ”

My father is a prank, people in ten miles and eight towns are disgusted with dogs, at the beginning, my mother was good-hearted, and after my mother cleaned up, that appearance is the best looking in the entire mid-mountain village.

Not long after, my mother became pregnant, and my father went out of the village to work, saying that he was earning money for milk powder for me, but he met some fox friends outside.

My grandfather followed my mother all day long, for fear that she would make a mistake.

When the people in the village saw it, they all pointed at it.

One day, my grandfather followed my mother's ass. Washing clothes behind the strands, the old man Sun next door saw it, and said: "Old man Wei, our Banshan Village has a century-old reputation, don't let you be bad." ”

"Fuck off, Lao Tzu is for his grandson!" My grandfather had a pestle in his hand and chased after Old Man Sun for most of the village.

It didn't take long for me to be born.

As I grew older, when I was about eight years old, there was more and more gossip out there.

They all said that I didn't look like my father at all, and that I must have been born of my grandfather and his daughter-in-law.

After my father came back, he listened to those rumors and rumors, and beat my mother twice for three days, and after a long time, he beat me together.

Although my mother is crazy, she protects me very well, often protects me behind her, and most of my father's beatings fall on my mother's body, and my mother doesn't know how to say it, so she can only cry.

Once, my father was drunk, and my grandfather happened to go out again, and my father began to beat me, and my mother ran like crazy and pushed my father to the ground, and my father drank and fell to the ground, knocked his head, and was even more angry: "You crazy woman, you dare to beat me?" ”

My mother carefully looked at the wounds on my body, and held me in her arms, and then looked back at my father, trembling.

My father's teeth chattered: "Okay, very good, you protect this wild bastard, Lao Tzu even cleaned up with you today." ”

As he spoke, he pulled the belt and pulled it towards my mother.

My mother protected me tightly, I was almost unharmed, the belt fell on my mother's body, I was so frightened that I cried, my mother cried in a low voice, while saying: "Don't, don't hit Ziyang." ”

My father said, "You die, I won't beat your baby if you die." ”

The beating lasted for an hour, and eventually my father's belt was broken, and he threw it on the ground and went out out panting.

That evening, my mother hugged me and cried for a long time, and I cried too, and finally my mother got up and made me a bowl of noodles with several ribs in it, and she watched me finish it with a soft face, and then closed the kitchen door.

When my grandfather came back from outside, all he saw was a cold corpse.

My mother's body was lying on the ground, covered in blood, with wide eyes, and she wiped her neck with a kitchen knife.

I was so frightened that I cried and ran over to hug my mother's feet, her body was so cold, as cold as a stone.

Grandpa beat his chest angrily, lost his temper in the house, and lost countless teacups, then he picked up me, who was already crying hoarsely, and comforted me softly: "Don't cry, let's not cry, Wei Ziyang, you are a man, a man can't cry." ”

I don't know what a man is, I looked at my mother's way and was scared.

Grandpa found a coffin and decorated it for my mother, and his eyes were wide open, and he couldn't close them alive or dead.

In the end, my grandfather hugged me and still grabbed my hand, so that my mother closed her eyes.

The coffin that my grandfather used to bury my mother was his own, and the old people at that time would prepare their own coffins in the house, and my grandfather was no exception.

The coffin was very heavy, and it was a fine pear blossom wood. After my grandfather finished my mother's funeral, he covered the coffin again.

Then he found a white porcelain bowl and lit a lamp underneath the coffin. Lit a stick of incense, took me, and kowtowed to the coffin.

My grandfather said to the coffin: "Baby, I know you have hatred and resentment in your heart, but for the sake of this child, can you ignore it and let us go?" ”

As he spoke, Grandpa put the incense stick in the crack of the coffin, and I saw that it was not long before the stick of incense was extinguished.

Grandpa lit it many times later, but the incense couldn't burn again, and finally he couldn't help it, so he glanced at me: "Ziyang, go and get my ink fountain line." ”

I nodded, and I saw my grandfather catching a big multicolored rooster in the yard.

He wiped the rooster's neck, bled it, and then wrapped the ink fountain thread stained with the blood of the multicolored rooster around the coffin. Circle.

Round and round.

Until the entire coffin was wrapped in ink fountain threads, it looked like a big net.

I asked suspiciously, "Grandpa, why did you do this?" ”

"Grandpa, this is protecting your mother." Grandpa sighed: "I didn't protect your mother when she was alive, and now that she is dead, I can't let her be bullied." ”

Grandpa said, and put the jade that my mother often wears around her neck on my neck: "Take good care of it, the first time grandpa saw your mother, he knew that her past was not simple, and grandpa couldn't help, but this jade pendant is useful to you." ”

After my grandfather finished speaking, he called my uncle and asked them to come and help.

The uncles didn't excuse themselves, they all came, and the grandfather said to the uncles: "Ziyang and his mother have always been crazy, and you know this, and now I accidentally drank paraquat, so I went like this, everyone don't make a noise, let's bury it overnight." ”

"This woman who committed suicide is not easy to enter the ancestral grave, right?" The uncle of the clan said.

"I said it all, it was an accident. If you can't do anything, you will be buried directly. Grandpa looked at them with a cold face.

Grandpa has always had a place in the clan. One by one, the uncles bowed their heads and said no more.

Grandpa took me out of the courtyard gate, saying that he was going to choose a cemetery.

Grandpa is a carpenter in the village, and sometimes he also helps people make coffins, although he does not have such a high attainment in feng shui, he also understands a little. So the grandfather said to go to the grave, and those uncles did not doubt him.

But what I didn't expect was that my grandfather actually used the cemetery he had prepared for himself.

Arrived at the cemetery.

My grandfather said to me: "Ziyang, you are your mother's good son, your mother's new grave is in the ground, you have to help your mother dig three hoes." ”

I nodded, knelt on the grave that my grandfather had chosen, and dug three hoes in the graveyard.

I didn't have much strength, and I was only able to leave a small shallow pit.

With a smile on his face, Grandpa took out the raw meat and rice that he had prepared before, and then poured the raw meat and rice into the small shallow pit, and when the rice was poured out, it was still complete, and you could see the traces of a bowl.

Then Grandpa lit a stick of incense in each of the four directions of the cemetery.

Then, Grandpa stood by and observed.

In less than ten minutes, I found that the incense sticks on the four sides burned very quickly, and the one in the middle burned very slowly.

And that's not all. In the little pit I had dug earlier, I saw a lot of termites, which were now scattered.

Grandpa's face turned pale, and he took a step back, trembling all over. Shake: "Ziyang damn, are you trying to kill us?" Won't you just give up? ”

The first time I saw my grandfather like this, he was so excited that even the green tendons on his forehead popped out.

"Grandpa, what do you mean?"

"Ziyang, look at it, the most taboo thing about this upside down rice is that insects and ants don't eat it, and the most taboo thing about this ghost burning incense is two short and one long, this is your mother's resentment, she wants to kill the whole village." Grandpa was in tears.

I wiped the tears from my grandfather's face.

Grandpa sighed: "That's it, just go with the flow." ”

After Grandpa finished speaking, he began to dig the grave, and I also helped on the side, but how much strength I can have as a child, in fact, most of it was dug by my grandfather, so I added to the trouble.

After the grandfather finished digging the grave, he rested against the grave.

Panting, he didn't say a word during the period.

I didn't dare to speak, so I had to stay by my grandfather's side.

At about seven or eight o'clock in the evening, my grandfather called my uncles and asked them to carry my mother's coffin.

But it didn't take long for the uncle in the clan to call back, and his tone was very eager: "Third master, this coffin can't be lifted, we called more than 20 strong guys, but they can't lift it." ”

"Can't lift it? How is that possible? "My grandfather is in a hurry.

Grandpa used an elderly machine, a copycat, and the sound was very loud, so I could hear it clearly.

I heard the uncle say over there, "Yes, now everyone on our side is frightened, you should come back quickly." ”

"Don't worry, I'll be back right away." Grandpa picked me up and walked briskly down the hill, it was already dusk, the forest was pitch black, and in the shadows of the trees, it seemed that rows of crows could be seen standing on the trees.

When my grandfather returned, a group of uncles had ugly faces, and the coffin was wrapped with more than a dozen thumb-thick ropes, as well as lifting poles.

Just looking at these, I know that what the uncle said is not an exaggeration, he really found more than 20 strong guys to carry the coffin, but he just couldn't lift it, these more than 20 strong guys, I know all the tendons and flesh on their bodies, these people don't talk about carrying the coffin, even the car is no problem.

Seeing my grandfather come back, the uncle was overjoyed: "You are back, let's see what is going on." ”

Grandpa waved his hand, took out a stick of incense, and pulled me to kowtow to the coffin: "Ziyang damn, for so many years, we haven't treated you badly, I know that in this matter, it was Ziyang's father who made trouble, and our old Wei family is sorry for you, but don't continue to make trouble, because the people of our old Wei family are not vegetarians!" ”

After grandpa finished speaking, he inserted the stick of incense. into the crevice of the coffin.

Something weird happened, that plugged in. The stick of incense in the coffin quickly shortened.

The uncles looked at each other and didn't say anything for a long time.

Grandpa smiled at those uncles: "Okay, let's get out of the coffin now." ”

As soon as the voice fell, no one moved.

In the end, it was my uncle, who rolled up his sleeves and rushed up first: "Isn't it just carrying the coffin, what's the big deal." ”

My uncle is in his fifties, and he is not afraid, how can those strong guys in their twenties have the courage to say that they are afraid? So they quickly gathered around, rolled up their sleeves one by one, and put on a posture.

"Up!" My grandfather said.

More than 20 people roared in unison and lifted the coffin, but it seemed to be too strong, and the coffin was still tossing in mid-air when it was lifted.

Grandpa was very satisfied: "Don't fall to the ground when the coffin is up, otherwise, everyone will be unlucky for a lifetime!" ”
