Chapter 146: Hu Sheng

An incident happened when Hu Sheng was 6 years old. www.biquge.info He was just in the first grade of primary school that year, and the school didn't plan to accept him, because he was too young, and he wouldn't turn 6 until October, but his mother gave the teacher money, and he saw it, and his mother quietly wrapped a roll of money and stuffed it into the hand of the teacher with a shiny face.

One afternoon in the summer of that year, on August 24th, he remembered that day, and he will never forget it for the rest of his life, when the town rushed to the market, 1, 4, and 7 were the days when the town was to catch the market. His mother was in an insane asylum, his father was drinking and gambling in a town tavern, and Xu Fei's mother and father picked watermelons and went to the town to sell them.

He and Xu Fei hid in the watermelon field and nibbled on watermelons, and then a group of children slightly older than him found them, standing on a rock 3 meters high from the watermelon field, urinating into the watermelon field, just on the watermelon that Hu Sheng was gnawing. Hu Sheng looked up and saw that they were giggling and laughing.

"Bastard, you little bastard. Hybrids stealing watermelons. The peeing child shouted at him. "Your mother is a prostitute who steals men. He burst into laughter again, and the other people standing next to him followed suit.

"Hey, get out of my turf. Xu Fei stood up and yelled at them. Xu Fei was very tall, and the children in the town didn't dare to mess with him. He was originally squatting in the stone, and Hu Sheng dared to guarantee that the group did not see him, otherwise they would not have called him for stealing watermelons. "Get out of here, or else—"

When the group heard this, they turned and ran away. When he ran, he threw a small stone down, which just hit Hu Sheng's head, and his head instantly bulged into a bag.

"I'm going to find my mother," he whispered with his head down. Drop the melon skin in your hand.

"Hey, don't go!" Xu Fei called out to him behind him, but he still ran quickly towards the path above the watermelon field. "Hu Sheng, Hu Sheng. You wait for me. ”

Hu Sheng didn't care about Xu Fei's shouting, although Xu Fei was his only friend, but he only felt humiliated at the moment, they called him a mongrel, and said that his mother was a prostitute who stole men. My mom wasn't. He yelled. I'm not a mongrel, you are.

Hu Sheng ran home crying, and he cried loudly on the bed he shared with his grandmother. He was very glad that his grandmother was not at home, and his grandmother said that the pork in the market was cheap, and he wanted to buy him some meat to make balls, and he loved to eat the balls made by his grandmother. "Our Xiaosheng loves to eat balls. She touched his head lovingly as she left. If Grandma had heard those people calling him a mongrel, and his mother a whore who stole men, would she have helped him? He didn't know that his father would always whip him with mulberry sticks when he came home drunk, and he was a dog mongrel. Grandma never spoke for him, but only scolded his father in a stern voice, "Don't give me a drunken madness at home." I'm not dead yet. ”

He cried for a long time, and he thought it should be a long time, because he cried and cried and fell asleep, and when he woke up, he found that it was almost dark. And there was still no one in the house. His mother wouldn't be home today, and when she left in the morning, she told him that she would stay in the asylum for the week, and that she would find an opportunity to bring him something good to eat if she could. But why didn't Grandma come home? He sat up from the bed, rubbed his eyes, and cried out loudly, "Grandma!" The empty room made no sound except his own echo. He jumped out of bed and almost collapsed, his legs numb from the wrong position. He shook his unconscious leg and tried to stand up straight. He stood for a moment with his hands on the edge of the bed, and then limped out of the room.

He looked at the small vegetable garden in front of his house, where the tomatoes on the tomato shelves were all hanging listlessly to the ground, and the small leaves of the peppers were towering down, looking like they were burned. On the fence made of bamboo, the large aluminum spoon had lost its golden glitter. He ran into the yard, turned around and looked up at the roof, and there was no sunset in sight. There was a gurgling sound in his stomach. He ran into the vegetable garden to pick a tomato. But then he remembered what his grandmother said, "Look, Xiaosheng, these tomatoes are good for you to make meatballs!" and he retreated. He thought it would be better to keep it and eat it, and if he picked it, he would not be happy if he picked it. He thought about sitting down on the laundry sink next to the yard dam, completely forgetting about the afternoon trick.

He sat for a long time, his eyes looking straight at the path leading to the town, someone walked the path from the town, could it be grandma. He happily ran out of the yard dam and stood on the path, squinting his eyes and carefully looking at the people on the road. It was an old woman. That's right, but that's not grandma, that's Xu Fei's grandmother, he recognizes the flower shirt that Xu Fei's grandmother wore today to go out. He hung his head in disappointment, but he still didn't return to Yuanba, Xu Fei's house was still 10 minutes west of their house, and he had to pass through his home, so he wanted to wait for Grandma Xu Fei to ask if he had met his grandma.

Grandma Xu Fei walked vigorously, and it didn't take much effort to walk to the path outside Hu Sheng's house.

"Xiaosheng, have you eaten?" Xu Fei's grandmother was a big fat man, and when she stopped to speak, she was out of breath.

Hu Sheng shook his head, "Grandma Xu, have you seen my grandma?" she said to make me balls. ”

When the old woman heard this, she shrugged down her face and looked distressed.

"Grandma may not be able to make you balls today. She said as she handed Hu Sheng a plastic bag containing a large piece of meat. "Come, boy, put this in the house, close the door, and come with me to my house for dinner. Xu Fei must be very happy. ”

Hu Sheng didn't take the plastic bag in her hand, but looked at her in confusion, Grandma Xu Fei never let him go to their house for dinner at night. Because the mountain road was not easy to walk at night, and she knew that his grandmother would not allow him to go out at night.

"Where's my grandma?"

The old woman seemed to have a hard time answering this question. She frowned deeply.

Hu Sheng thought she looked like an old witch at that time. The old witch who turned her grandmother into nothing, the fat cook in the dragon clan that her grandmother told him, she loved to eat human flesh.

"Xiaosheng, your grandmother is in the hospital, she fell down, it seems to have flashed to her waist, and she can't walk now. The old woman finally explained where his grandmother was.

"How could she? My grandmother—" Hu Sheng was almost crying, tears streaming down his eyes.

"A bunch of naughty children—" the old woman sighed. Watermelon rind thrown at her. She stepped on the watermelon rind. Hey, Xiao Sheng"

Hu Sheng only heard a group of naughty children, so he ran towards the town.

Leave her behind him and shout his name loudly.

He cried as he ran, knowing it had to be the bastard guys who were playing tricks on him in the watermelon field today. It has to be them.

Instead of going to the hospital to see his grandmother, he went straight to the village where the boy who laughed at him lived, the one at the top of the town, and he knew that the boy's father was a coal buyer, and his mother was often there to help in the shop, and sometimes the family would stay late and come home, maybe after dinner. They certainly didn't come home today.

He ran to the boy's house and shouted the boy's name twice, but no one answered him except a puppy wagging at him at the door. He looked at the hoe that was placed in the doorway, then ran over and grabbed it with all his might, and slashed at the dog. (To be continued.) )
