Chapter 4: My Brother?
I'm not going to die here today, am I? I'm only 22 years old, I'm still young, I haven't even touched a woman, and I still want to ask my wife to have children! I can't die here.
As soon as I thought about this, my sister-in-law appeared in front of my eyes.
My sister-in-law looked at me with a dull gaze, and I stared at her and wanted to run, but I felt like I had been pointed, and I couldn't move.
"Sister-in-law." I screamed.
"Xiao Yuan, run!"
My sister-in-law looked at me, her teeth chattered a few times, and these three words rolled out of her throat.
"Sister-in-law, do you know something?" I asked
I don't know why, my sister-in-law asked me to run three times and twice, and I felt that my sister-in-law must know something, and she wouldn't hurt me!
"With .. Make move.. He.. Run! My sister-in-law squeezed out these four words inarticulately, and then handed me the baby in her hand.
"What is this?" I asked.
My sister-in-law didn't answer me and staggered away.
After my sister-in-law left, I seemed to have gained control of my body again, looking at the baby in my hand, I was both scared and curious, I was afraid that this baby was not a person, and I was curious if he was my sister-in-law's child?
"Xiao Yuanzi, where is this baby?" At this time, an old man standing not far from me asked.
I looked over and found that he was wearing a pair of brightly colored shoes, which were toad shoes, specially for the dead, although I was not superstitious, but I grew up in the countryside, and knew that toad shoes were for the dead, and I didn't dare to pay attention to him at the moment, so I ran back.
The old man in the village said that if you walk alone at night and meet a stranger calling you, don't agree, otherwise you will be taken away by him, especially in a remote alley...
I did sports at school, and I was a pretty fast runner, and even if I was holding a baby, it didn't affect me in the slightest.
Soon I ran back to Li Duangong's mourning hall, and when my father saw that I had turned back again, he was still in such a hurry, and scolded: "Rabbit cub, didn't you let you go home, why did you come back again?" ”
"Daddy... Father... I.. I've bumped into my sister-in-law! I gasped for breath and said.
As soon as I said this, everyone in the mourning hall turned white, and they all knew about my family's affairs, and they thought it was my sister-in-law who caused it, which shows how afraid they are of my sister-in-law.
My dad wasn't so scared, after all, he saw his sister-in-law almost every day these days, and he was used to it, but he was just curious that I didn't take anything when I left, but when I came back, there was an extra baby in my hand?
"Which family is the baby in your hand?" My dad asked.
"My sister-in-law gave it to me, let me run away with him." As I spoke, I looked at the baby in my hand, and at this time he didn't know when he woke up, and he was staring at me curiously with his eyes open, and when he saw me looking at him, he showed a strange smile.
My father's face, which was normally normal, turned white after listening to my words, and snatched the baby from my hand, and found that the baby was still laughing, but he didn't know what he was laughing at.
"Whose baby is this? Don't listen to this kid's nonsense, it must be that some family accidentally forgot to be picked up by him when he was farming with a baby. ”
My dad played a round for me, because I was a teacher in the village, and if those parents knew about it, who would dare to bring someone to school? Wouldn't I be fired?
But before I could finish my father's words, I heard the baby call my father.
"Daddy."
Although the voice was slightly immature and the pronunciation was not standard, everyone present was so frightened that they ran away, regardless of whether they were keeping a vigil for Li Duangong or not, and they dispersed directly.
Even my dad was so frightened by the baby that he almost threw him away.
After all, this baby looks no more than a few months old, how can a few months old baby talk? Basically, they start calling people when they are more than a year old.
"You.. What do you call me? "My father's eyes widened, and he seemed to be frightened.
"Daddy."
The baby called my dad again, and it sounded so weird that it sounded so non-standard that the baby seemed to understand human speech.
I was so shocked that I could stuff an egg into my mouth, this baby calls me daddy, so I don't have a brother for some reason?
"Don't call me Dad, I'm not your Dad! Xiao Yuan, what the hell is going on? My father frowned and said angrily.
The baby didn't seem to sense my father's anger and smiled at him.
No wonder my dad is so angry, he's an honest rural man, and suddenly a baby calls him daddy? And it's also the child of his daughter-in-law, who can accept it?
In the countryside, it is difficult to accept broken shoes, let alone have some relationships with close relatives? If this is known to the people in the village, my father will probably follow my sister-in-law's back path!
"On the way back, I met my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law handed him to me and asked me to escape with him, that's it." I say.
To be honest, my current worldview has completely collapsed, and if this is really my father's son, then that means...
But how do the dead give birth to children? Can a dead person still get pregnant?
"Fuck, go home! Let's talk about it when we get home! ”
My dad was so angry that he couldn't even speak.
Judging from my father's character, it is absolutely impossible for him to have a relationship with my sister-in-law, after all, although my father is usually lustful and often moves in front of my mother, but he is an honest farmer, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible to do, so is this child the child of my father and my sister-in-law?
When I got home, my mother saw my father holding a baby in his hand, and immediately went to pick it up, and wondered why he suddenly came back instead of keeping a vigil for Li Duangong.
"Who is this baby? So cute. My mother laughed and teased the baby.
"Erniang."
The baby suddenly laughed and called my mother in his non-standard pronunciation, which scared my mother so much that she almost lost the baby, but fortunately she remembered that it was still a baby in her hand.
My dad stared, not knowing what to say, probably so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Mother, it's like this..."
My father couldn't speak, so I had to tell my mother about it, of course, I didn't tell my mother that the baby called me my father, because I didn't know if my mother would use a kitchen knife to cut my father on the spot if I told my mother.
But even if I don't tell my mother the truth, my mother can guess something from my father's expression, so I have to admire that a woman's observation ability is really strong.
My mother just glanced at my father and asked, "What are you going to do with this baby?" ”
My father's face sank and he shook his head.
My father is a rural person, how do you know what to do about this? If this gets out, my dad really won't do it, and his face will be lost.
"Or... Buried? My dad asked tentatively.
"No, Dad, no matter how you say it, it's a life." I say.
"Then you say, what to do, if this thing gets out, it doesn't matter if I lose my face, I'm so old, it's a big deal to die, but what can you do, you are going to be poked to death in the backbone, besides, I haven't done this at all, this baby is definitely not mine, and the dead can still fucking get pregnant?" When my father saw that I didn't agree, he immediately became anxious.
What my father said is indeed true, dead people can't get pregnant, let alone have children, but the people in the village don't think so, they are superstitious, they will definitely think that my father and my sister-in-law have a relationship, so this person is not a ghost baby.
"Let's sleep first, don't spread the word, and when the time comes, I'll say that this baby was picked up." My dad said with a sigh.
Early the next morning, there were good people coming to my door to see my sister-in-law and my father's baby, and my father and I forgot that there were still many people in front of Li Duangong's mourning hall last night.
"Dad, what should I do?" I asked.
The villagers blocked my door, and we couldn't get out.
"What can I do, these good deeds, I'll kill them." Grandma is a violent temper, after knowing this, although it is difficult to accept, but since it is our Zhao family's species, it is our Zhao family's people, so we can't let others bully it.
Saying that, my grandmother rushed out with a broom, and my father and I couldn't stop it, so we had no choice but to go out.
"You melon skins, don't come to my house to make trouble!" Grandma has a tendency to sweep thousands of troops.
Several villagers at the door were frightened by the grandma's momentum, and they didn't dare to step forward for a while, but at this time, an uncle in his forties walked over, looking very elegant.
"Mr. Zhao, is it convenient to talk about it?"
