Chapter 2: Motherhood
As soon as the sky was slightly bright, Lu Yangsheng was covered with sweat, and suddenly woke up, his face was wet, and he touched it, and his hands were covered with sweat or tears. Last night, Lu Yangsheng dreamed of his mother.
Lu Yangsheng got up and went to the broken water tank outside the grass hut to scoop a little water and pour it into a broken basin fixed by soil, the bottom of the basin was broken, and it was all up to the soil below to temporarily store the water, this is where Lu Yangsheng washed his face.
Lu Yangsheng buried his head in the basin, the cold water stimulated Lu Yangsheng's nerves, and the scenes in last night's dream surfaced in front of him.
In the dream, the mother walked with a limp, only one arm was dragging a broken package looking for something, the body was thin and small, the face was pale without a trace of blood, her eyes were still so dull, there was always saliva flowing down the corners of her mouth, she took two steps, and stuffed the package in her arms to her chest, and said in her mouth, "Son, don't sleep, eat grandma." Lu Yangsheng walked up to his mother and didn't say a word, he knew that his mother couldn't see him, and her child was a package in his arms, which he personally sent to his mother's arms, and he knew it when he was five years old.
Lu Yangsheng looked at it, following his mother step by step, he knew that his mother should cry out for pain later. Sure enough, the mother took two steps, and suddenly sat on the ground and cried: "I hurt so much, Daddy, Auntie, I hurt。。。。。。 ”
Lu Yangsheng walked in front of his mother, hugged his mother's head and listened to his mother crying, twelve-year-old Lu Yangsheng was already able to hold his mother's thin and small head, unlike when he was five years old, even if his mother was lying on the bed, Lu Yangsheng couldn't hold his mother's head.
It's been a long time, before the age of five, the parents hugged themselves, the father liked to put himself around his neck to go to the market, and the sweet and sour sugar gourd to eat, the mother liked to hold herself, rubbing her face with her face, after the age of five, although the mother no longer hugged herself, but she could hold her mother, and then, the little child could only nest in his own grass nest, listening to the drum in the stomach to recall the arms of his parents, but now, the child has almost forgotten the taste of his parents' arms. Now that there is a time to hug his mother again, even in a dream, Lu Yangsheng is still very satisfied.
I don't know how long it took, my mother stopped crying out about the pain, and the package in her hand was delivered to her chest again, and her mouth said over and over again, "Son, eat quickly." Saying such words in his mouth, his eyes rolled, and he looked around, Lu Yangsheng had never seen his mother like this, in fact, when he was five years old, his mother never cared about anything except the package in her hand, even if it was eating, it was fed to her mother by little Lu Yangsheng.
"Whoop ~~~~~" a roar like a tiger, like a thunderous cry suddenly came into the ears and into the ears, looking in the direction where the sound came from, the fog was hazy, and a huge figure loomed, like a fierce tiger, but there seemed to be a single horn on its forehead.
At that moment, the mother trembled violently, her figure suddenly became much thinner, and an expression of extreme fear appeared on her face, and black blood suddenly oozed from her eyes and mouth. Lu Yangsheng watched his mother's changes, fear swept through his body, and he held his mother's hands harder.
"Whoa~~~~~" Another roar, this time Lu Yangsheng heard it very clearly, it was indeed a tiger roar, there were tigers in the old forests around the town, and the town could vaguely hear the tiger roar from time to time, so Lu Yangsheng recognized it.
The mother suddenly shattered in Lu Yangsheng's arms like glass, and the dream was shattered, and Lu Yangsheng also woke up at this moment, and the last glance was the mother's painful eyes, and a pale flame.
Lu Yangsheng buried his head in the water, and he didn't raise his head until the water in the basin could no longer cover his face. What the hell is going on, it's too real, this dream is too real, I haven't dreamed of my relatives for a long time, at first I dreamed of my relatives' faces were still very clear, and later, it was very blurry, and I haven't even dreamed of my mother in the past year. But yesterday, my mother's face was clearly visible, so real, and even the package I made in place of myself was so clear. This is not normal.
"There are ghosts in this world, after people die, they become ghosts, and they have to go to Huangquan Road to become human again, but some people don't want to go, so they stay in the yang world, but they don't want to go, so they can't go? In this yang world, there is the yang energy at noon, the gang wind in the nine heavens, and the spring thunder in February, all of which can destroy them, so generally the yang world can't see ghosts, but once you see it, it's a big problem, why? Because, all the ghosts who can be in the yang world must have eaten death and yin, or they are enslaved by demons and feed on demons every day. It's not like in the underworld, where they eat the blood of their children and grandchildren。。。。。。 "There is an old man in the north of the town, who likes to say some things to the juniors, Lu Yangsheng likes to listen to these, as long as Lu Yangsheng encounters it, he will always listen to it from afar. Lu Yangsheng didn't dare to approach and often couldn't hear clearly, but Lu Yangsheng heard these words clearly and wrote them down.
The old people said that there are ghosts, immortals, ghosts, and demons in this world. The origin of the name of Luoxian Town is because there was once an immortal who settled in the town, and there was a plaque in the ancestral hall of the town, which was rewarded by the imperial court.
The old people like to scare the children in the town with ghosts, so the children are afraid of the dark and ghosts, but Lu Yangsheng is not afraid, and sometimes he goes to the haunted places that the old people say to sit down. Actually, I was afraid, before the age of six, Lu Yangsheng was really afraid, and after the age of six, Lu Yangsheng was never afraid. The child's words can only be said to the ghost, but unfortunately, there is no response.
Is my mother back? Lu Yangsheng hoped that his mother was back, but that strange tiger roar made Lu Yangsheng only hope that it was a dream.
"If there are really ghosts and immortals in the world, let me see them, I am willing to pay any price." Lu Yangsheng had never been so eager to see ghosts. "Mother, it must be okay."
The early morning of September was not so cold, the leaves of the distant mountains had not yet begun to turn yellow, and the boy looked at the distant mountains, and no one looked back at the distant mountains.
