Chapter 271: Memories of the Red-robed Fire Ghost (Part II)
Xiao Liuzi is a boy, older than me, stronger than me, and very smart, so in my opinion, Xiao Liuzi is a powerful guy to rely on. I told him that the bracelet that Er Niang gave me rolled into the hole in the rockery, and the hole was full of dirt and black, and I was afraid of insects, so I didn't dare to look for it, as long as he went to find the bracelet for me, I would forgive him.
Of course, there wasn't any bracelet in the hole, and I just hoped he would find out the fake daddy when he got in. I would rather that person be just a person who hides in a hole during the day and comes out at night to pretend to be my father.
Xiao Liuzi went in, he was a child from the village, he didn't care about the soil or anything, I don't know if he regarded me as a young lady or as a little friend, in short, he was usually very good to me, at that time I thought, he was frightened at most, since he was still in my house, that person would definitely not dare to go too far, as long as he found him, I shouted a voice, and naturally someone would come to help.
The hole, it doesn't seem to be deep, Xiao Liuzi just got his upper body into it, and told me that he touched his head, there was no flashlight at that time, and there was no cold fireworks, so Xiao Liuzi could only touch it with his hands indiscriminately.
Suddenly, Xiao Liuzi shouted "snake", and desperately retreated out, and when he withdrew from it, he was still holding the so-called "snake" in his hand. However, it was not a snake, but a big green insect, very thick, as thick as the large rolling pin used by the noodle master, as for how long, I don't know, Xiao Liuzi pulled out only a part of it.
We've never seen such a big bug, even if it's a snake, it's the size of a python, and we both freaked out, but Xiao Liuzi was calmer than me, and while he comforted me and told me not to be afraid, he wanted to throw the relatively quiet bug back into the hole. But what he didn't expect was that before he could throw it, the head of the insect he grabbed in his hand was split into four petals, but it was not the kind of crack that died, but it turned into a big mouth with four petals, and bit Xiao Liuzi's arm in one bite. Xiao Liuzi screamed, and three identical insects actually came out of the hole, biting Xiao Liuzi's body, and in the shouting of Xiao Liuzi, he was dragged into the hole. I was stupefied, and it took me a while to remember to scream. My father, my mother, the guys and the shopkeeper were all attracted by my shouting, and I told them that there were python-like bugs that dragged Xiao Liuzi into the hole, but none of them believed that there were such big bugs, and they all thought that I was telling a story to lie to them.
Maybe this is the sadness of children, adults always think that children are not sensible, and the things they say are often stories made up by themselves, it took me a long time to make them believe that what I said is true, but just when a guy was about to go and get a lantern to see what was in the hole, Xiao Liuzi, he actually walked in from the gate.
At this point, everyone started to think I was lying, and they laughed and dispersed, and my dad slapped me in the ass and warned me not to make such jokes with adults in the future. And the little sixth son also walked up to me, touched my head, and told me that Feng'er must have not slept well last night, and fell asleep and dreamed next to the rockery today. However, as he said this, I could clearly see that his other index finger was like the head of the worm, split into four petals and became a strange mouth.
I know that Xiao Liuzi is no longer Xiao Liuzi, but has become a living big worm, although he is still working as before, bouncing and jumping like before, but as long as I see him, I will hide and go. He's no longer human.
After that, the fake dad never appeared again, and my dad was only one left, and my mother's room was deserted again, and sometimes it took half a month for my dad to spend the night in my mother's room. Perhaps, for my mother, it is also a kind of happiness that the fake father can accompany her.
In the second month, my mother's menstrual affair did not come. I asked the doctor to take a look and said that my mother was probably pregnant. This time, but the happy father, while guessing whether the mother is a man or a woman, while boasting that his sword is not old, he occasionally went to spend one night, and let my mother conceive a child.
Women who are pregnant with children do not have a very good appetite, and from time to time, they will retch, but my mother is different, not only has a good appetite, but also likes to eat meat. My family is not short of money, my mother loves to eat, my father will give her food, three meals a day and constantly meat, but just like this, my mother still runs to the kitchen from time to time to find meat to eat, I even saw my mother once again threw a piece of raw meat into the pot of boiling water and shook it, and then fished it out and ate it.
I was a little scared, my mother became a little strange, and sometimes she looked at me as if she saw a piece of walking meat, which made me feel creepy. Gradually, I didn't want to appear in front of my mother, but the stupid second mother gave me a sense of security. The father who licks his feet, the mother who eats meat, and the little six sons who have become insects, compared to them, Erniang is like Guanyin Bodhisattva, which makes people feel very relieved. Even sometimes, when I want to go to the street to play, I will pull Erniang to go, although Erniang doesn't like to talk, and I don't like to frolic, but what I like, Erniang will take out her purse and buy it for me.
Except for me, Erniang almost doesn't go out, so few people know Erniang, and some of the boys in the neighborhood even think that Erniang is some distant sister of mine, and ask me to help introduce Erniang to them. Especially the boy from the fortune teller Wang Banxian's family, who told him that it was my second mother, he still didn't believe it, and yelled at me that his father said that my second mother was a big girl with yellow flowers at first glance, and it was not a mother-in-law who was broken at all. At that time, I didn't understand what the mother-in-law who broke her body meant, anyway, it didn't sound like a good thing, every time the Wang kid said this, I would raise my fist and teach him a lesson, Miss Ben is not easy to bully. Miss Ben's second mother can't let them say it.
In a blink of an eye, ten months have passed, although my mother keeps eating meat every day, she has gradually lost weight, and only the big belly that stands up is extraordinarily plump. Some people say that this is a good thing, saying that the mother's nutrition is all given to the child in the belly, this must be a big fat boy with good bones, and the father is also very happy, every day in addition to burning incense and kowtowing to beg the Bodhisattva to give him a son, it is to revolve around my mother, and the second mother almost does not go there.
However, on the day my mother gave birth, my father was disappointed. No, it's not just disappointment, it's probably freaked. At that time, my father and I were waiting outside my mother's room, and not long after, I heard the call of the midwife in the room, my father knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly pushed open the door and rushed in, I also followed in, but I saw the midwife holding a cucumber-sized insect in her hand sitting on the ground next to the bed and screaming, and then look at my mother, it was not my younger brothers and sisters who came out of her birth canal, but a large and small green worm, and after coming out, the first thing they did was to open the four-petaled mouth at the front of their bodies, Crazy gnawing on the mother's body.
I threw up on the spot, and my father wanted to go up and help my mother get rid of the bugs, but when the bugs raised their heads and pointed their strange mouths at my father, he was scared and ran out of my mother's room screaming. Afterwards, my father asked me, do I blame him, I said no, that scene, if I hadn't seen those insects a long time ago, I'm afraid I would have fainted with fright, how could I expect my father to help my mother? Dad can run, at least it proves that he is still a normal person.
When my father rushed back to my mother's house with the guys, there was nothing in the house, not only my mother, but also my mother-in-law. Probably, they were all eaten by insects. Later, I told my father about Xiao Liuzi drilling holes to find my fake father, and this time, my father believed it, and he secretly found Wang Banxian and asked him to invite his corpse brother Liu Daochang to my house. After listening to what I said, Liu Daochang went to my mother's room to check it out, and told us that this is a worm that has become a sperm, and if we don't get rid of it, sooner or later our whole family will die. And the body of that insect essence is Xiao Liuzi. Liu Daochang asked his father to find a reason, tied the little six sons to the dead trees in the yard, and then burned the little six sons with a talisman fire, I saw with my own eyes that the skin on the little six sons in the fire was wrinkled and cracked, revealing the green, wriggling insects inside, those insects kept rolling and twitching in the flames, slowly scorching and dying. But a caterpillar the size of a little thumb somehow flew out of the fire and just got into Liu Daochang's mouth, Liu Daochang didn't say a word, wiped his neck, and threw himself into the fire. He said that as long as this worm enters the human body, it will not be saved.
The fire, burned for a long time, completely burned Liu Daochang and Xiao Liuzi to ashes, Liu Daochang only had one son, his father gave him a lot of money, but he didn't ask for it, he said that the people who cultivate the Tao live in the world to help the world and save people, wild dogs must eventually be buried on the mountain, the general will inevitably die before the battle, his father and the monster will die together, that is the number of fate, no wonder others.
Originally, I thought that this was the end of the matter, that the insects were burned to death, and that there would be no disaster, but I was wrong. After his mother died, his father was depressed, thinking that he did not rescue him in time, so he killed his mother, and he knew that he drank too much, and when he drank too much, he fell asleep, and even sometimes he slept a day without drinking. The things in the store fell into the hands of Erniang.
Erniang is still stupid, but she is very shrewd about money. And I found that every month, a person wearing the clothes of ethnic minorities in the south would come to Erniang, and Erniang would let the account office spend a large amount of silver dollars for him. A lot of money, almost all the money except for our living and store expenses. The shopkeeper went to talk to his father, but he ignored him, and then one day the shopkeeper quietly came to me and told me that he was going to follow the man in minority clothes to see what he had done after taking the silver dollar.
From that day on, I never saw the old shopkeeper again.
