Chapter 5 The Death of a Loved One

In a few days, the family had a good time. Zhang Wenzhong found that there was nothing terrible about Suoming Lake, and his courage became bigger and bigger. One day at noon, the husband and wife drove the tied wood and enjoyed the fun of rowing on the lake, but Zhang Mojun and his sister stayed on the shore of the lake to play.

When the husband and wife rowed to the middle of the lake and approached a cliff shortly after that, Xiaoxue on the shore suddenly exclaimed: "Brother, brother, look, our mother and they are gone, gone." Hearing this, Zhang Mojun also raised his eyes to take a look at the lake, only to see that the tied wood was floating there swaying, but there was no human figure.

stared at it for a while, but didn't see a figure appear, "Dad, mother, where have you been, where have you been......" called for a while, and didn't hear an echo, and was panicked for a while, so he started crying. Xiaoxue on the side saw that her brother was crying very sadly, and her heart was also uncomfortable, "Woo woo! Dad, mother, you all come back quickly, brother he is crying sadly, woo woo woo woo ......"

The brother and sister didn't see their parents reply, and they cried for several hours. A terrible cry shook the lake cliffs. It was getting dark, and the two of them were already tired from crying. Not long after she stopped, Xiaoxue, who had a tear-stained face, reached out and touched her little belly and said, "Brother, I'm hungry." ”

Zhang Mojun has been crying for so long, his physical strength is seriously exhausted, and his stomach has ringed a few times.

When I looked at the lake again, there was still only the empty binding wood. Only then did he reach out and pull up his little sister, came to the hut, and drank the fish soup left this morning. In a few moments, it was completely dark, and the moon had already risen, shining the dark shadows of the trees. Summer nights are a bit muggy, but occasionally a breeze blows a little cool.

If it was a few days ago, the family would have gone into the hut to eat at this time, but now Zhang Wenzhong and the two have not returned, and the brother and sister are sitting side by side outside the hut, looking at the direction of the lake, silently waiting for their parents. The night was getting deeper, and the two of them were also a little sleepy, "Brother, it's so late, why haven't they come back yet, don't they want the two of us anymore." Xiaoxue suddenly turned her head and said.

"I don't know, I'm sleepy, are you sleepy, little sister. Let's go to bed, maybe when we fall asleep, our mother and they will come back. After listening to Xiaoxue's words, Zhang Mojun's heart was sour, and after speaking, the two walked into the hut together. Unbeknownst to the two of them, their parents had been swallowed by the monsters of the lake......

Tired of crying during the day, and staying so late, the two slept until dawn, and when they woke up to find that their parents had not returned, they cried again. Zhang Mojun is big, and when he was hungry, he started to use his own hands, cut the fish that Zhang Wenzhong had saved in the past few days into pieces, and also learned from Luo Ningxin, making a fire to steam. After a few tosses, the rest of the fish was almost gone.

One morning, Zhang Mojun suddenly remembered that when he went to Shanglin Village some time ago, he saw a fruit tree on the village, and the fruit was ripe, so he picked one up at that time and gave half of it to Xiaoxue, which tasted very sweet. "Little sister, do you want to eat the fruit, the kind I gave you last time. There should be some ripe fruit falling from there again, so now we just pick a few and eat them. ”

"Hmm!" Xiaoxue hasn't seen her parents for the past few days, and her mood has been very low, so she doesn't say much. As soon as she agreed, Zhang Mojun took her hand and walked towards Shanglin Village. Unfortunately, they were unlucky, and they just found two small fruits under the fruit tree, and before they could eat a bite, they were discovered by several children in the village. not only snatched the fruit from the hands of the brother and sister, but also beat them severely.

Zhang Mojun is not as big as those guys, so he doesn't dare to do anything with them. After being beaten and crying bitterly, he hurried back to the hut with Xiaoxue, "Brother, in fact, those fruits are not very delicious, and when our father and mother come back, I will ask them to make us something more delicious." Xiaoxue looked at Zhang Mojun's eyes red, knowing that he was still wronged, so he comforted him.

The brother and sister have always cherished the belief that their parents will come back. Waiting by the lake. Until noon on this day, Zhang Mojun was woken up from noon because it was too hot, and when he saw that his little sister was still sleeping on the side, he couldn't bear to disturb the other party. He stood up quietly and walked to a shallow place in the lake to take a bath.

When he came back from washing, he suddenly saw a giant python coming from the hut, and he panicked, and hurriedly shouted: "Ah, little sister, little sister, there is a snake, there is a big snake, you come out quickly, come out quickly......" found that there was no movement of the little sister for a long time, thinking that the other party was still sleeping in the house and did not wake up, and for a while I didn't know where the courage came from, rushed to the thatched house.

After swallowing a light snow, the python's belly was so swollen that it couldn't walk. Hearing the sound, he was already vigilant, and when Zhang Mojun was close to him, "Whew!" burst out of his mouth and bit Zhang Mojun's thigh in a big bite, "Ah!" He screamed in pain. The python found that he hadn't killed the other party in one bite, and was about to twist his body and break the other person's thigh.

"Ahh As time passed, Zhang Mojun finally fell into a coma due to the pain in his thigh.

"Little sister, little sister, where are you, where are you, woo woo ......" Zhang Mojun has been eating the fish that Jiang Xin has turned into recently, and his body has been transformed, and the thigh that was bitten by the giant python has already formed a scar and does not hurt, and when he woke up, he only saw the giant python dead on the side, but he didn't see his little sister, so he cried.

Suddenly saw a swollen boss on the belly of the giant python, so he guessed one or two, hurriedly found a knife, cut the python's belly, pulled Xiaoxue out, and saw that the other party's eyes were closed, the whole body was full of saliva, and there were several small holes in the neck, "Little sister wake up, wake up quickly...... "I realized that my little sister had been bitten to death by the giant python. Angry, his eyes turned red, and he raised his knife to cut the body of the giant python into a mess.

I once heard some old people say that once a person dies, his soul will go to another place, waiting for reincarnation, and cremation of his body is the best way. Not only does it avoid the suffering of being invaded by insects, but it also brings a good place for the soul. Therefore, Zhang Mojun placed Xiaoxue's body on the small bed in the hut, covered it with clothes, and then lit the hut with a fire.

Staring at the fire in front of him, Zhang Mojun blinked his tears and said bitterly: "Little sister, my brother has avenged you and killed the big snake." This time, little sister, don't be reincarnated as a human being, go to be an eagle, the eagle flies on a high place every day, so that it won't be bitten by snakes again......" Zhang Mojun just stood stupidly until the fire was completely extinguished, and then Zhou Li dragged a big dry log, put it in the lake, and sat on it with his feet crossed.

If it was in the past, he wouldn't dare to do this, but now that none of his relatives are gone, his heart is extremely empty, and he is no longer afraid of this lake. Look at how your father and mother disappeared. Paddled to the cliff wall in the lake, looked at it for a long time, and didn't get any gain, and suddenly saw that there was a small shallow hole in the cliff wall near the water, which could accommodate a person to lie in it.

He drew the giant tree closer, climbed up, and as soon as he sat down, he felt a little drowsy in his head, and then his head turned away, and he lay down in it and fell asleep. Zhang Mojun didn't know that the small shallow hole he was lying in was the center of the lake that Jiang Xin had made, and the yin and yang qi sucked by the lake would eventually gather here. Zhang Mojun didn't sleep well, and he slept with it for ten years.
