twenty-six

These days, Xiaobao is reading books at Qian Aishu's house, and Xiaobao is very serious and devoted, which makes Qian Aishu very surprised.

"Xiaobao, I really can't see it, you love reading so much. I used to think you were quite fun-loving, and a few friends didn't grasp books for you. Qian Aishu said this to Xiaobao more than once.

"Didn't I tell you, the village chief will let me go to work in a few days, and I don't know what to do."

"But reading these books may not be of any help to you, I think you should go to Brother Godan, he knows everything about the factory."

"Brother Goudan is so busy, why am I embarrassed to disturb him, the village chief and his family are really good to me, but my mother just doesn't appreciate it." Xiaobao held his chin with both hands and looked out the window, his eyes showing a little sadness.

Qian Aishu looked at Xiaobao and didn't know what to do. Xiaobao's sad eyes were like a monster, and his mind was full of its shadow. Qian Aishu asked Xiaobao to stay quietly in the house alone, and went out by himself to breathe, the house was really stuffy.

"Xiaobao, Xiaobao, go and take a look, your mother is going to have an accident." At this time, a neighbor hurriedly ran to the house and shouted into the house.

"What? What happened to my mom? Xiaobao hurriedly ran out.

"It's not because of your piece of land, your mother is too stubborn!" The neighbor said, "Go quickly, your mother is going to smash people with a hoe, and no one can persuade her on the land of your house!" ”

Xiaobao's mother went to her family's dry land early this morning with the set of household belongings she used for her practice. She knew that she was going to start construction on this piece of land today, and she couldn't let Ao Li succeed so easily, let alone lose to her "enemy" - the village chief Liudou. The little mother dug a deep pit in the ground and buried a tall wooden pole, which was full of flags and charms for various practices. She wants to do a ritual on this land, and after doing this ritual, if a house is built on this land, it will collapse after not living in it for half a year, and if it does not fall, the bad luck of the house will be passed on to the people who live in itβ€”missing arms and legs, dying of violent illness, anything can happen. This is a vicious ritual, but no one can say whether this kind of thing can be taken seriously.

Xiaobao's mother made such a big move, so she naturally recruited everyone. Liudou and the other village cadres went to the ground to dismantle the pole she had buried. Xiaobao's mother naturally didn't do it, and the two sides talked like this and moved. Of course, Xiaobao's mother was alone at a disadvantage, and in a hurry, she picked up the big hoe that had just been used to dig a pit.

"Whoever dares to break my pole, I will smash whomever I want, even if I don't kill you today, there will always be a chance to kill you in the future."

Xiaobao's mother was holding a hoe in her hand, everyone was scruples, and the scene was deadlocked.

"Mom! What are you doing! Xiaobao hurried over.

"Xiaobao, what are you doing here? You go back. The little mother drank her daughter who ran towards her, "I told you to go back, did you hear it!" You don't listen to your mom anymore? Even you bully your mother, and you are still with outsiders? ”

"Mom, the village chief, they are for our good, don't you want to live a good life? Is it so good to be pointed at by others outside every day? Xiaobao was so anxious that she cried.

"It's not their fault." Xiaobao's mother pointed to Liudou and them, her emotions became more and more excited, "How beautiful I was in the past, the villagers within a radius of dozens of miles were all treated like I was a god, which one saw me and was not in awe?" But now, I have been bullied by these bastards, and I am not reconciled! ”

"Your business is sluggish because everyone has seen through your tricks, what does this have to do with us?" Liudou looked helpless, "Sister-in-law, you put down the hoe, and you can discuss anything." ”

"Who says it has nothing to do with you? I learned the magic that has been passed down from generation to generation in our Lijia Village, and what you say to break feudal superstitions is all your mother's nonsense. ”

"What kind of world is it now? Why are you so obsessed? ”

"You're clearly jealous." Xiaobao's mother raised her hoe, glanced at the villagers around, and then aimed her hoe at Liudou, "I won't lose to you, you despicable villain, I'll stone you to death." ”

Xiaobao's mother raised the hoe and smashed it towards Liudou, the speed at which the hoe fell was not fast, maybe Xiaobao's mother just wanted to scare Liudou and vent the resentment in her heart. Six Beans dodged and dodged.

The resentment in Xiaobao's heart has not yet been vented, she raised her hoe and smashed it at Liudou.

"Mom, don't." Xiaobao pounced and stood between Liudou and her mother.

The hoe was already raised, and the head was smashed...... Liudou wanted to push Xiaobao away, but it was too late.

"Little treasure! Why are you so stupid! Liudou held up the fallen Xiaobao, "Uncle can't stand you!" ”

The little mother stood there in a daze, and after a while, she screamed and stumbled away like a madman......

"Iniquity!" Someone in the crowd sighed.

When Qian Aishu rushed to the hospital, Xiaobao was already dying, and Uncle Liudou was guarding the bedside.

"Xiaobao." Qian Aishu's face was full of tears. Xiaobao couldn't see Qian Aishu's appearance anymore, but he could hear his voice.

"Book...... Brother...... "She spread her weak fingers.

Qian Aishu couldn't help but rush over and grab Xiaobao's hand. "Xiaobao."

"Don't blame my mom...... Book...... Book...... Brother, I'm so scared......"

"Xiaobao, don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Remember...... Come back often, see me, bring, bring ......"

"Isn't it a book? Xiaobao? ”

Xiao Bao nodded, Xiao Bao's head was wrapped in blood-stained gauze, and only her eyes could be seen, with fear, sadness and unwillingness.

"I still have a lot to read...... Xiaobao closed his eyes, "read more books, books...... Brother ......"

After sending Xiaobao away, Qian Aishu went home and burned all the books he found for Xiaobao to read at home.

In the evening, someone found a body in the reservoir, which belonged to Xiaobao's mother.

The next day, Qian Aishu was going back to school. Walking out of the pass, he glanced back at the village that had been burned by fire. He knew that this small mountain village was no longer the happy paradise he used to be, Xiaobao was gone, forever gone, and would never come back!

"Xiaobao, I can read a lot of books, you can go with confidence." He said this again and again in his heart.
