The second aunt listened, quickly put me down, leaned up and looked behind the caravan, the second aunt didn't see my father at all, only saw the people outside to send relatives, and the drummer who played suona, all of them were frozen in place as if they had been immobilized, the drummer's cheeks were drumming like eggplants, and the people who sent off their relatives were standing or standing or stepping, all like a freeze-frame picture.

The second aunt felt that something was wrong, so she turned around, looked at me who was about to fall asleep, and asked anxiously: "Xiaoliang, Xiaoliang, where is your father?" ”

I was woken up by my second aunt, so I raised my hand and pointed to the back of the caravan: "My father followed behind the caravan and kept telling me to go over to eat candy ......"

After I finished speaking, I struggled to look up to see my grandfather, but I didn't expect that it was vast outside, except for the wind whining......

After a while, I seemed to hear my father's voice faintly coming from under the caravan: "Xiaoliang, Xiaoliang, why don't you come, I'm your master, I'll give you candy to eat, if you don't come, I'll go back......"

After a while, I heard the sound of suona outside again, and the people who sent off relatives also made a noise, I knew that my father must be gone.

He saw my second aunt who was about to get married, and also saw this scene of sending off my relatives, I felt a hot head, so I shrank into the arms of my second aunt, and fell asleep after a while......

Two years later, my second aunt's son was born, my cousin Xiaogang. When my second aunt gave birth to my cousin, I followed the adults and went to give a wedding gift.

At that time, the family used their own chickens to lay eggs to see their relatives. That time I went to the second aunt's house, my house, and my uncle's house, they all prepared two big baskets of eggs, and a lot of green-skinned salted duck eggs, as well as steamed jujube rolls, big white buns, and thin noodles packed into handfuls.

It was a hot day, it had just rained, and the ditch on the side of the road was full of white and bright water, and it was early in the morning, and many people who got up early on the roadside came out with shovels to change the water, and saw our group of people walking shoulder to shoulder, young and old, and they all stood on the side of the road with shovels and looked at us like paying attention.

In the field, there was a continuous cry of toads everywhere, high and low like a chorus without a conductor.

Because of my young age, I had an empty hand of my own, unlike my brother, who had to carry a small basket containing bamboo leaves and dustpan willow leaves that he had picked on other farms, and a quail nest with three eggs in it.

I wanted to laugh when I saw him carefully holding the ball in the basket, he was afraid that the contents of the basket would be broken or broken, one hand was rolled, and the other hand was on the edge to protect it, like an old hen guarding her cubs!

I followed them, and at one moment I would find a sloppy one to kick and walk, and the next I would pick up a half-cut brick and smash it at the surface of the water in the ditch by the roadside, where I knew that there were often gray and sticky toads floating, and maybe I could hit one or two.

Thinking like this, I saw two white belly toads emerge from the water with a splash, I looked at it and laughed proudly.

When my dad saw me like this, he turned his head and scolded me fiercely: "You rabbit cub......"

When I heard my father's scolding, I quickly withdrew my hand and ran a few steps to catch up with them......

I thought quietly as I ran, how nice it would be if there was an atmospheric toad coming out, this thing was fun, catch it and put it on the ground, and as soon as my hand touched it, it wouldn't run, knock on its backbone, and it would be angry like an eggplant with a big belly, and then raise its foot to slam on it, and with a crisp snap, the air toad would burst into the stomach......

I followed the adults behind me and walked slowly, and I saw the village of my second aunt's family from a distance. It had just rained, and the village looked dark and foggy from a distance.

Not far from the village, on the southern slope, there was a large area of graves crowded next to each other, and I knew that there was a long field for my second aunt's family. I seem to have heard my second aunt say that the graves there are a bit old, and no one has come to the graves for many years, and those graves seem to be slowly flattened.

I wondered if these graves were the same as those in my house, some of them were crazy with thick and thin sugar seedlings, and some were not bare without a single grass.

I was a child, and I would think about it all day, and when I looked up at the grave again, I saw a black cloud of smoke slowly rising from the grave.

At first, I thought that someone's tractor was plowing the ground with black smoke out there, but I looked at it for a while, and the black smoke cloud just went up along the edge of the grave, to the height of two or three telephone poles, and then it stopped moving.

There was something in the black cloud, pulling the black cloud and slowly shaking and changing. After a while, the black cloud turned into a huge toad, with its cheeks puffed out and its mouth wide open, as if it was about to jump towards us.

I've seen that this thing is still coming, I'm afraid this thing is not coming for me, I've never seen it, the black smoke cloud in the grave, will become the air toad I imagined. I felt curious and playful, and I didn't feel scared at all.

He stood still, staring intently at the cloud of smoke, and in a few moments, the adults were far away. I was still standing there, looking at the cloud of smoke, jumping a few times to the left, sometimes to the right, sometimes opening my mouth, showing that long soft tongue and rushing out a few times, sometimes puffing out my cheeks and screaming a few times.

At this time, I seem to hear its distinctive cry coming from the graveyard. I thought the adults had seen it, so I didn't ask them to watch it together. I just watched it so fixedly, and thought that the big toad was playing so well that I wanted to clap his hands.

After a while, I felt that the big toad had jumped on top of my head without knowing when, and its big mouth was as open as a big blood scoop, and it was about to swoop down on the top of my head.

I didn't expect it to look like this, and before I had time to dodge, the big toad pounced on me. Seeing that I was swallowed by this huge monster guy, I didn't expect that a strong wind behind me held my ass and blew me several meters in front.

When the big toad saw that it missed the blow, it turned its head to look behind me and let out a strange see-saw cry from its mouth. I didn't turn my head to look back, I just felt an invisible force in front of me, sucking me forward. There were adults in front of me, and I was running so fast that I felt like my feet weren't touching the ground.
