Chapter 644: The Red Umbrella of the Heavy Rain
Widow Liu was accompanied by a cow, and for a while, she was not afraid, she wanted to smoke a cigarette, but she thought that she was not a man, so she dispelled this idea, otherwise, it would be good to have a cigarette to avoid evil. The heavy rain continued to fall, miserable wilderness, rain and fog, the other side did not know each other, even if the husband came, even if he stood in front of him, it was not easy to recognize.
Everything seems to be unclear at this time, even if the boulder in his field that he is very familiar with on weekdays, at this time, it is also hazy, hidden and disappearing, giving people a sense of etherealism. It is the middle of the night, I think that the sun will come out, I am afraid it is not easy, but this is also just right, take advantage of the heavy rain, plough the fields well, in the autumn, this year's harvest will be good, then what is not fragrant?
At this time, Widow Liu remembered that her husband was unwilling to go to the mountains to plow the fields, presumably because she was unwilling to marry her, and she was also forced by her parents' orders. Widow Liu knew that her husband was thinking about other women, but that woman, because her husband was poor, could not afford the sky-high bride price, so she refused, and followed a rich businessman away, so far there is no news, some people say that it is developed, and some people say that it is no longer alive, as for what happened, I am afraid only God knows.
Thinking of this, Widow Liu didn't blame her husband, but for some reason, she was a little wronged, and the tears on her face once flowed down, and together with the rushing rain, they dripped down the field and disappeared quietly. But there is no need to think about this, it is better to cultivate this field well and plant this grain decently, so that if your husband still loves herself, I am afraid that she will have to die and love herself.
Widow Liu's technique of plowing the fields is not very good, but it is also passable, and she goes up the mountains to plough the fields alone, as a woman's family, this is admirable, but for some reason, I saw a person standing not far away with a red umbrella, dressed in black, with his back to himself, for a while, I still don't know who this is.
The dark clouds in the sky gradually increased, thick as the sea, and for a while, it was impossible to see the woman with the red umbrella clearly. But in this place, why do you see such a woman, on weekdays, this place is almost empty, and it is the same in the daytime, and at night, it is even more eerie, and it seems that only I am left on this mountain.
Heavy dark clouds rolled in, and for a moment the woman with the red umbrella was gone, and only when the lightning pierced the night sky could the woman be seen standing with her back to herself, as if she wanted to talk to herself, but she didn't say anything, just stood silently. The heavy rain continued to fall, and at this time I heard the cry of a woman from nowhere, the voice was somewhat familiar, it seemed to be the woman with lung disease in the deserted village, but she had died several years ago, and on the day of her death, Widow Liu went to see her, which was regarded as saying goodbye to her, but at this time, why did she suddenly appear in this wild mountain where no one was?
The woman was crying and coughing, but in the sound of the heavy rain, she didn't have to listen to it, she couldn't smell it, and as for why she was crying like this, she really didn't know for a while. But don't worry about it, anyway, I am a relative of the woman with lung disease, I guess I won't come to murder myself, the day the woman died, I also went to her house, at that time, the people in the deserted village, because they were afraid of infection, they avoided it, and refused to clean up the relics of the woman with lung disease, and finally thanks to Widow Liu, she was not afraid of dirt, nor was she afraid of infection, so she cleaned up the things left by the woman with lung disease.
But at this time, why did this long-deceased woman stand in the heavy rain with a red umbrella, could it be because she wanted to be a companion for herself, otherwise, why would she stand in the heavy rain, with her back to herself, not leaving, and not approaching? Widow Liu was also fearless at this time, because her husband refused to go up to the mountains to plough the fields, and at this time she had reached a point where she didn't want to live, and if she died, she would die, and it was no big deal, so why should she be afraid of this unclean thing?
Widow Liu didn't care about this, and still ploughed her field, but for a while, the cow didn't know what was crazy and refused to plough the field, even if it broke the bullwhip, she also refused to plough the field, but ran towards the woman with a red umbrella, and from time to time, it came to the woman, but there was nothing but a straw man who was tying it.
Widow Liu then pulled her cattle back, and stayed on this big mountain and kept busy, she had to plough the field well, otherwise, by next year, if she wanted to have a harvest, I was afraid that it would not be possible. But there are unforeseen circumstances, the ox refused to go, it was to the depths of the mountain, from time to time, this is already gone, widow Liu put down the rake, this followed her own cattle, went to the depths of the mountain, at this time do not find their own cattle, it can also be said that it is inappropriate.
……
Thinking of this, Widow Liu couldn't help but shed tears again, she really shouldn't have chased her own cow, if she hadn't chased the cow herself, her husband wouldn't have had an accident. This blames himself deeply, and even slaps himself indiscriminately, because his mistake directly led to his husband's accident, can it not be shocking to think of this!
That night, the heavy rain in the sky was really very severe, coupled with the frequent lightning, thunder and lightning, walking on the mountain road, quite inconvenient, sometimes directly fell to the ground, when you get up, look at this body, it is already a piece of mud, almost no clean place.
I don't know how long I walked to the depths of the mountain, because there were my own cow's hoof prints in front of me, otherwise, I wouldn't have chased it, and I could go back directly, because there was no way to do it, even if I ate the seedlings in other people's fields, it was helpless. After chasing for half the night, Widow Liu was also a little tired, so she sat on a stone on the side of the road, wanting to see the night, but it was getting darker and darker, and it seemed that it would never dawn.
However, although his cow's hoof prints continue to appear in front of him, he is nowhere to be seen, and if he wants to bring the cow back, he should have to increase his strength, otherwise, I am afraid that it will not be possible. After tracking it for a while, on the side of this mountain road, pieces of paper money appeared for no reason, and sometimes the rain fell heavily, and it hit these paper money directly, which made all these paper money fly all over the sky, and these paper money seemed to change, until one piece became two, and two pieces became four......
Widow Liu didn't care about these things at this time for the sake of her cattle, besides, anyway, her husband had such an attitude and refused to plow the fields, and if she met such a person in this life, then there would be no meaning in living in the world, and it would be better to die. With this thought in mind, Widow Liu kept tracking and had to bring the cow back, but at this time she found that her cow's hoof prints were covered with blood, as if something had happened to the cow, otherwise, why bleed?
After resting on the side of the road for a while, Widow Liu continued to walk forward, because Niu Zhi was seriously injured, and if he did not deal with it at this time, the consequences would be unbearable. Sure enough, not long after, Widow Liu saw her cow, but at this time, she found that the rain in the sky was getting heavier and heavier, and in this rain, there were still some paper money, flying all over the sky, and I don't know where to drift with the wind.
At this time, not far from this front, Widow Liu found that her cow finally did not go, and lay down, lying in front of a grave, and at this time she was not afraid, so she stepped forward, and had to bring her own cattle back no matter what, otherwise, as a farmer, there is no cattle, but what should be good?
Walking over to take a look, Widow Liu found that the cow was dead. died in front of this grave, and there is a tombstone in front of this grave, with some words engraved on it, Widow Liu knows a few words, and her husband's name is engraved on it, could it be that her husband is already dead?
"No, it can't be." Widow Liu looked at the grave, and then at the cow, and muttered in her heart, her husband could not have died anyway, and he was sleeping in his own house at this time, how could he die.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, which makes Widow Liu quite frightened, wearing a robe alone to drive the cow back, but she didn't think that the cow died here, and on the stone tablet in front of this tomb, how could she see her husband's name, could it be that the person who carved the stele was mistaken?
Widow Liu leaned down and had to take a good look, but there was no light at this time, and it was not easy to read the words on the stone tablet clearly. At this time, there happened to be a flash of lightning in the sky, and by the light of the lightning, Widow Liu could barely see the handwriting on the stone tablet, and in those words, there was her own name.
"Yes, this is my husband's grave, what the hell is going on?" Widow Liu couldn't figure it out for a while, so she didn't want to do it, she had to get her cattle back, otherwise, the loss would be great.
However, the cow is already dead, and if you want to come back to life, I am afraid that it will not be possible. Widow Liu doesn't want this cow at this time, it is important to save her life, otherwise, stay alone in the depths of the mountain, I am afraid that something is wrong, and even something serious may happen, I don't want to die on this mountain, I have to go back to see my husband, although my husband may not love him, but since I saw my husband, I have fallen in love with him deeply.
However, the cow is gone, as a farmer, I am afraid that the future life will be difficult, thinking of this, Widow Liu does not want to live, towards the husband's grave just like this, but it is empty, as if this tomb does not exist at all. No, when I got up from the ground and looked at it, I found that there was no grave at all, and the cow was missing at this time, which made Widow Liu wonder, I don't know what is going on?
