XXXIV. Contractor, the strangeness of my body

The familiar frog pond next to the door, the ginkgo tree in the house has grown beyond the fence, according to the point in time, the grandparents should have gone to the field, I just have to wait outside the door.

"Mommy, I'm hungry, I want to eat meat, can I eat the frogs in the pond? I've been hungry for them for a long time. ”

Nianbai squatted on the edge of the pool, hissing and spitting, frightened the frog sitting on the lotus pond and jumped into the water, I watched her red pupils become more and more worried.

Human eyes are not red, and if she has eyes like this, the children in the village will bully her.

There are not that kind of contact lenses sold in the city, and if you bring them, you can't see that you are wearing glasses, which are the same as your own.

Well, when the grandparents come back, ask them for money to go to the city to buy a pair.

She ran to me with a bare little fart and an aggrieved face, saying that the frog wouldn't give her food, and she chattered in pieces, but I didn't listen to a word.

Because now I'm itching!

I was just a little itchy on my back when I was on the way back at first, but now it's itchy on my arms, thighs, and neck.

I was a little uncomfortable when I scratched it, probably because of the seawater, which had already soaked my skin into necrosis, and I wanted to grow new skin, so I should refrain from scratching and infecting.

A familiar figure walked towards me, and a pair of old men with a basket and white hair came into my sight.

Grandma was holding a cane in her hand, her movements were slow, and she needed her grandfather's support every step she took.

I haven't seen my grandfather for three years, his hair is all white, there are only a few left, he has a long white beard, and he squints at reading glasses.

"Grandpa, grandma, the seventh day of junior high is back!"

To come back alive and see my grandparents again, I was excited and burst into tears.

Nianbai followed behind me, running and running in front of me, and shouted in a milky voice, "Grandma, grandpa, I'm Nianbai." ”

Grandpa listened to the familiar voice, took off his reading glasses, rubbed them on his clothes, and said tremblingly, "Chu, Chu, Chu......." ”

"At the beginning of what? Old man. ”

"We're on the seventh day of the first month! Old lady. ”

Grandma suddenly threw away her crutches, strode forward, and hugged me.

We cried as a family reunion, and it took us half a day to go back to the house.

I went home and looked at the furnishings of the house, and it was completely different.

It turned out that after I left, the village chief took my father's urn away, and tried to take down the portrait of the white snake enshrined by our family, but my grandmother refused, so she hit me with a cane.

Unexpectedly, the villagers did not show weakness and pressed my grandmother to the ground for a full hour, committing an old cold leg, and the joints hurt as soon as the weather changed.

But one night, while everyone was asleep, they heard the wind whining in the windows, as if a ghost was crying.

"Hades has arrived, and the living have avoided it!"

The Hades came and took one person with him, and that was the village chief.

The newly appointed village chief is the nephew of the original village chief, and this eldest nephew is even worse, I don't know why the funds for my country's aid have been distributed a long time ago, and they have been unwilling to release them to the villagers, resulting in my grandparents going up to the mountains to pick up mushrooms for money at an old age.

Grandpa is fine, he has to take a woodcutter, chop wood for money to buy chickens, to feed, and wait for the chicks to grow up and lay eggs, which is additional income.

The family is in such a difficult situation, and my idea of buying contact lenses for Nianbai was completely interrupted.

Grandma changed the clothes I wore when I was a child, and then boiled a little mushroom soup for her to drink.

"Don't drink! I'm a snake, and I'm going to eat meat! Eat meat. ”

I looked at her appearance, and I couldn't help but step forward and twist her ear, "If you want to be a snake, go find your dad!" ”

Nianbai didn't expect me to scold her, but she cried loudly, my grandfather sighed, picked up the kitchen knife and got up and said, "Kill the chicken for Xiaobai, the child of the snake fairy, we should make a good offering, and it is also a blessing for the child that you can come back." ”

"No, grandpa, I like to eat it raw!"

I couldn't hold the little one, so she put on my slippers and ran to the backyard.

Gurgle, wow.

The chickens in the backyard crowed a few times but did not move, so frightened that my grandparents did not dare to make a sound, so they picked up the incense and worshiped the white snake portrait.

After a while, when Nianbai came in, there were a few pieces of chicken feathers on his body, a few drops of blood at the corners of his mouth, and he touched his stomach with satisfaction.

And I looked at the blood on the corner of Nianbai's mouth, and I also felt very hungry, the blood seemed very delicious in my eyes, so I wanted to ...... I want to .......

I unconsciously rubbed the corner of Nianbai's mouth with my index finger and held it in my mouth, feeling that the chicken blood was particularly sweet!

Grandpa, looking at me with surprised eyes at this time, wanted to ask something, but it was difficult to speak.

I embarrassed myself back to my room, boiled the ondol, and simmered hot water.

The water was already boiling, and the room was full of water vapor, and when I reached out to touch it, it still felt cold.

No matter!

As soon as the clothes were taken off, the whole person was in the wooden bucket, holding the water ladle and began to rinse.

I kept scratching at my skin in the water, falling off like dead skin and floating on the water.

The scratched skin was red and cracked, and a little bleeding began.

"It's impossible, even if a person molts, it can't fall off one by one."

"On the seventh day of the first month, is your house on fire? Why so much white mist. ”

"No, I'm taking a shower."

Grandma also noticed my abnormality and knocked on the door, and I was afraid that my grandmother would see the dead skin in my barrel because of the itching, and she was scared to death and never opened the door.

After knocking for a long time, seeing that I didn't open the door, my grandmother sighed and said that the meal was ready, and I had a little hot overnight dish so that I don't dislike it, and quickly get dressed and go to the living room to eat.

I put on the softest long-sleeved sweatshirt with a high neckline to cover my chin and my wrists to cover my dead skin.

When I came to the living room, I watched the hot white rice, and my favorite fish stewed mushrooms, and roasted sweet potatoes.

I must have been happy before, but now I can't eat a single bite of it.

I even felt extremely disgusting, just like the things in the latrine, difficult to see.

Grandma looked at me worriedly, but I pretended to be hungry, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and began to serve soup and vegetables.

Then they gulped down the doubts in their grandparents' hearts, and the two of them began to eat.

Only Nianbai, as if sensing my abnormality, leaned close to my ear and said, "Mommy, I left a chicken for you." ”

The big chicken has already been eaten by the little guy, and if I eat the little chicken again, then the usual hard work of the grandparents will all be in vain.

I quickly shook my head in refusal, but my stomach was already tumbling and trying to vomit out the food I had eaten.

"Seventh year old, did you sign that contract?"

A normal and healthy human being, stretched out his hand, all ten fingers had crescents, and the nails were peachy pink, while mine was the opposite, and Grandpa looked at my nails and frowned.
