Qiao Xiaojing saw that her mother had another problem with her nervous system, and sat helplessly on a piece of rotten wood under the eaves.

Qiao Xiaojing would never have thought that her family would become like this many years later, her stepfather Liu Ma had become a wild man, and she seemed to be unable to live like a normal person, and her mother Chunhua was even more heartbreaking, she was already extremely pitiful, and there was something wrong with her nerves.

Qiao Xiaojing's thoughts shifted back and forth between the overgrown wilderness and the empty black hole, and many pitiful and pathetic scenes of her stepfather and mother emerged, tears flowing down her cheeks to the corners of her mouth.

There was a feathered sparrow that flew down on the roof of the main house, pecking at the morning glory that grew out of the thatch crack in the roof, and chirping, because it was directly above Qiao Xiaojing, Qiao Xiaojing could see it as soon as she looked up.

The bird was pitiful, with no feathers and a surprisingly thin look. Qiao Xiaojing sighed, looked at things and thought about people, and thought of her stepfather who locked herself in the house and didn't dare to go out, and her mother, who was sometimes sober and sometimes crazy, she sighed deeply.

At noon, the aroma of food wafted from all directions, and Qiao Xiaojing, who had not eaten breakfast, suddenly felt hungry. She stood up, dusted her buttocks, brushed her hair, and came listlessly to the kitchen door.

"Mom, open the door, I'm your daughter Xiaojing!" Qiao Xiaojing's request was full of tears.

The kitchen door slowly opened a crack, Chunhua looked out like a frightened child, looked out nervously, saw that Qiao Xiaojing's tears had not dried, suddenly opened the kitchen door, and arrived in front of Qiao Xiaojing with lightning speed, trembling and shriveled hands to wipe her daughter's tears.

"I'm finally back, I've been waiting for you so hard!"

"I came back yesterday and gave you a bath, forgot?" Qiao Xiaojing smiled deliberately, not wanting her mother to shed tears again.

"Yesterday, taking a bath, why didn't I know?" Chunhua shook her head, glanced at the main room, took Qiao Xiaojing's hand and walked into the kitchen, and said aggressively, "Don't pay attention to her, that's a wild man, specializing in stealing and eating other people's chickens, and eating them raw with hair......"

Qiao Xiaojing knew that her mother was talking about Liu Ma who was lying on the window of the main house looking out, and when she saw her mother saying that Liu Ma was "eating raw with hair", .

In the kitchen, Qiao Xiaojing was busy cooking, Chunhua was sitting by the stove and sending firewood to the hearth, and the two exchanged feelings like a normal mother and daughter, constantly expressing the pain of lovesickness. As she spoke, Chunhua unconsciously said all sorts of things.

Not long after Qiao Xiaojing fled from home, Li Hanzi's daughter-in-law Hongxing gave birth to a boy, maybe the child knew that he was coming from the wrong way, and almost killed Hongxing when he gave birth, but fortunately, in the end, the lives of the mother and son were saved.

This child's name is Buyu, and from the name, you know that this child is not what Hongxing wants. How can the child take care of this, he is anxious, he was born with a pair of big round eyes like a knocker, and he was still looking left and right, and he almost opened his mouth to speak.

Not only did he open his eyes early, but he also walked earlier than other children. Ever since he could walk, he stayed away from home all day, wandering around, and he didn't know when he had a good water nature, and he could stay underwater for hours at every turn.

This is not afraid to be either in the water or in the soil all day long, and often makes himself look like a child who grows out of the soil, so he has the nickname of "soil shoots". Later, the boy began to climb on the big rock in the middle of the river all day long, and his movements became more and more dexterous, and his posture became more and more like a frog, and some people began to call him "frogman" again.

This young man called "Buyu" is the young man rescued by Qiao Xiaojing in the village mouth river, he is the son of Aunt Hongxing, and the father of this young man is not Li Hanzi, people think that it is her stepfather Liu Ma.

Qiao Xiaojing still knows a little about this, it is precisely because of Liu Ma and Hongxing that she and Qiao Shuangxi were forcibly separated. This Qiao Shuangxi has not been married since he experienced the blow of divorce, and at first the people who said that the matchmaker had to almost kick the threshold of Qiao Baocai's family, but they were all angry with him and gradually became a stale goods.

Once, this Qiao Shuangxi secretly hid in the car that came to collect wool from other places, and stayed in the county town for about a month with the wool dealer entering the county.

Qiao Shuangxi, who has nothing to do, is like a superfluous person, loneliness wraps around him like air, and the desolate mountain behind the village has become a space for him to entertain and vent himself.

One day, Qiao Shuangxi slipped away to the back mountain alone, and found that his father Qiao Baocai and Liu Ma were arguing, and the quarrel was all because of the daughter-in-law Hongxing. The two argued, and when they saw that they were about to make a move, Qiao Shuangxi didn't dare to worry and rushed over, and finally stopped this vicious fight caused by an extramarital affair.

After Qiao Baocai returned home, he fell ill and lay in bed for several weeks. gradually saw that Qiao Baocai showed signs of recovery, but the news that Qiao Shuangxi was crazy came out. Since then, the people in the village have been convinced that Qiao Shuangxi is crazy.

Unlike Qiao Baocai, Liu Ma, who suffered a thousand knives, did not restrain because Qiao Shuangxi learned of the scandal, on the contrary, he still went his own way as if he was nothing, Hongxing's son was not afraid to grow up, Liu Ma was timid, so he no longer messed with Hongxing.

This Liu Ma is a person who has several problems, after he finished with the red apricot, he basically broke with the female color, but there was a new problem, that is, unbelievable, smacking gluttony, and he also specializes in chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry, especially chickens.

Liu Ma's gluttony is like having some kind of strange disease that is difficult to control, once he is addicted, he will rush out regardless of life and death. After eating the only poultry in the family, he set his sights on other people's homes.

Time has made Liu Ma an anomaly step by step, this anomaly regards stealing other people's poultry as a part of his life, regardless of rain, fog, frost and snow, and regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, as long as he desires in his heart, he will do his best, regardless of life and death.

Of course, stealing is not like taking after all, and there is a price to pay.

Once when Liu Ma was stealing chickens, he was accidentally caught by the big dog in the house, and the dog's mouth bit his ankle fiercely, and he tried to let the dog loosen, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful, so he had to drag the dog out of the courtyard wall.

What made Liu Ma collapse was that the dog's loyalty to the owner greatly exceeded Liu Ma's expectations, and the dog still did not let go of the wall after climbing over the wall, and in desperation, Liu Ma had to drag the dog that would not let go easily and fled the scene. It was only after running for miles that the dog let go of its mouth in despair, barking bitterly and helplessly in the dark night.

Liu Ma, who was seriously injured, did not stop stealing chickens because of this, on the contrary, he was like a cursed person, who seemed to shoulder some kind of "sacred duty", destined to go to the end on this road and never give up halfway.

At first, Liu Ma would hide the stolen chicken, and after the rumors passed, he secretly fried it or stewed it, and then simply plucked the chicken feathers, took out the offal in the chicken's belly, and ate it raw, and then he didn't even pull out the chicken feathers......

Liu Ma can't remember how many years it has taken since he started stealing chickens to eating raw chickens with hair, and he doesn't know when he started eating his stomach with hairy and miscellaneous pieces, let alone how he ate such a dirty thing.

In short, from the moment he found that Liu Ma had eaten a chicken with a piece of hair, Liu Ma's physical characteristics changed, his hair fell out in circles, and finally only a circle the size of a fist on the top of his head remained, and his hair color also changed, from black to yellow, and now it has become hay color; the eyelids gradually thinned, as thin as cicada wings, the eye sockets contracted inward, and the eyeballs grew in reverse, becoming more and more round and larger, bulging outward, like a white ball with black dots embedded at random, as if it could pop out at any time.

What was terrifying was that Liu Ma's eyes began to emit the light that a cat's eyes emitted at night, a green light. It's a little thicker than the light emitted by a cat's eyes, like two beams.

Liu Ma's hunchback gradually reached the point of no return, with a rickety waist, and the whole body was like an unclosed circle.

Liu Ma's legs became more and more loopy, and when he walked, he became more and more like a compass turned in the hands of children. His hands were also deformed, skinny and bone-covered, and his fingers were thin and long, and the skin on his hands was so loose that they could lift more than an inch, and they were very dry and wrinkled.

If you have to say who ruined Liu Ma, it can only be an empty time for himself and his greedy time.

With the passage of time, Qiao Xiaojing's stepfather Liu Ma's fingers gradually began to degenerate, and gradually took on the characteristics of pheasants.

It is true that to be able to eat a live chicken with a piece of feather and miscellaneous pieces into the stomach requires not only incomparable "courage", but also a good mouthful. Obviously, Liu Ma is a person with such teeth, his teeth can bite the bones of poultry, can chew every piece of meat on the poultry's body, raw meat, raw meat with blood, raw meat with blood may not all be dead......

Hearing this, Qiao Xiaojing felt that there were countless maggots in her body slowly wriggling, and she wanted to reach out and scratch it, but she couldn't scratch it through the flesh.

Mother Chunhua's expression is much richer than before, sometimes frowning, sometimes sticking out her tongue, sometimes baring her teeth, sometimes pursing her lips......

The water in the pot was boiling, and the whole room was filled with heat.

Qiao Xiaojing didn't have the heart to cook anymore, and the nausea made her want to vomit.

Chunhua stopped making a sound and sat quietly, her eyes cast on the desolate main house with her lost eyes.

Qiao Xiaojing calmed down for a while, and when she looked back at her mother again, she found that the firewood at her mother's feet had been ignited, and hurriedly called: "Mother, the firewood has fallen to the ground." ”

"Almost burned me. The pot is almost dry, hurry up and add some water. Chunhua squatted on the ground clumsily and slowly gathered up the ignited firewood, grabbed the most vigorous firewood and sent it into the hearth, and hurriedly stepped on the other firewood.

When Qiao Xiaojing and her mother were in a hurry, Qiao Shuangxi stood at the door of the kitchen, and said with a simple smile: "Auntie, I want to talk to Xiaojing about something." ”

"Double happiness, we haven't eaten yet. Chunhua said calmly.

"Mother, I don't want to eat anymore. Qiao Xiaojing licked her lips.

"Then go ahead. Chunhua looked amiable, and when Qiao Xiaojing walked away, she seemed a little reluctant, and added: "Come back early!"

How could this be, how could a good person become like this? Qiao Xiaojing's mind came to the image of Liu Masheng eating raw chicken with hair, although she didn't see it with her own eyes, she shook her head and sighed. Originally, she was full of hatred for this person in her heart, but many years later, seeing such a scene, her hatred seemed to have disappeared a lot, and she couldn't seem to hate it.
