Chapter 2: The Trampling of the Living (2)
When he got up, there was blood on his face, and he cried even harder.
The barking of dogs, the howling of people, mixed together, must be very worrying.
Finally, the boy's parents saw this scene and shouted, "Call the dog back, it's going to die in a while!" "
The boy ran over and got some of the dogs back.
The dry chirping of the trumpet kept sounding outside the window.
The plants at noon are wilting and listening wordlessly.
When I was born, I heard that it didn't go very well, and it took a lot of effort for the midwife to pull me out. I cried weakly, and the midwife was busy cutting my umbilical cord and washing the blood.
The moment was so tense that no one noticed when the madman's crying stopped. Looking out the window, he was already staggering away.
Three hours later, an old lady walked into my house.
By that time, the midwife who had completed the task was gone. I lay in the "yoche" (one of the four monsters in the Northeast: give birth to a child and hang up). My mom slept tiredly.
This old lady is "Grandma", her real name is Li Xiangzhi, and she lives behind my house.
She became my "stomper".
There is a saying in my house that after the birth of a child, the first person who comes to visit the door is the child's "stepping person", and it is said that the child's appearance, personality and destiny are like him or her.
Who knows what dark relationship there is between the "stepping on the living" and this child.
It is said that Li Xiangzhi became a widow when she was young and never married again.
However, the door of her room was hidden for the rest of her life.
I just want to know, will I have so many opportunities with her in my life? God was silent until I went through everything.
One thing she coincidents with me is that she loves to tell scary stories and has a full stomach.
There are many scary stories circulating in Black Dragon Town, most of which originated from her.
I've heard some adults tell me, and now I remember that it is by no means the story on "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", "Zi Buyu", "Mirror Flower Yuan", and "Sou Shen Ji". I think it's all "original" by Li Xiangzhi.
(I have a story called "The Invisible Son-in-law," which is in one of the books, and she is said to have told it first.) )
She didn't know that I was born, she came to my house, and when she entered the door, she knew that her mother had given birth.
At that time, my dad was cooking for my mom in the outhouse, millet porridge mixed with brown sugar, and boiled eggs. My mom was asleep.
"Sui Jingyun is born." My dad said. His voice was loud because Li Xiangzhi's ears were a little back.
My mother's name is Sui Jingyun.
"Raw? Boys and girls? "The person behind the ear always speaks loudly. She thought no one else could hear her.
"Boy."
"I'll see!"
Li Xiangzhi said as she moved into the back room.
She went into the back room and soon came out. Judging by the timing, she may have just leaned in to take a look at me.
Dad said loudly while serving porridge, "You can go in and sit." "
"I went back. You serve Sui Jingyun well. "
She walked to the door and turned around and added loudly: "Zhou Xianchun, your child's eyes are black and shiny, and you still look at me!" "
It was the last thing my dad heard her say. That night, she died in the West.
There was a power outage that night. Her niece, Matsusheng, came to see her from out of town and stayed at her house. Songsheng is a student at Heilongjiang Agricultural University. When Li Xiangzhi died, he was talking to Songsheng on the kang......
Li Xiangzhi's body bones were originally quite tough, and it seemed that he would be fine if he lived for another ten or eight years. Her death caused many sighs among the Black Dragons, about life and death.
When I was growing up, I met Songsheng once, and that was in 1990, when I was discharged from the army and returned to Black Dragon Town. She told me some details about Li Xiangzhi's death.
She said that Li Xiangzhi also talked about me at that time: "The eyes of that child in the old Zhou family are black and bright, and he still looks at me!" "
About half an hour before Li Xiangzhi's death, Songsheng heard someone laughing outside the window and was startled.
That laughter is not made, it is like a gust of wind blowing waves, naturally, like suddenly encountering a happy event, and can't help but burst out.
Songsheng asked in a low voice, "Aunt, who is laughing outside the window?" "
Li Xiangzhi looked at her and asked loudly, "What did you say?" "
The people outside the window laughed again, the sound was not loud or small, just so that she could hear it, but Li Xiangzhi couldn't hear it.
"Someone is laughing......" she was scared.
"Someone's calling?" Li Xiangzhi's voice became louder.
The people outside the window could definitely judge what Songsheng said through Li Xiangzhi's words, and even judge how scared she was, and he laughed again, his voice was still not big or small, soft.
Songsheng's legs were weak, and all her pillars were Li Xiangzhi, and she leaned against Li Xiangzhi's body, stopped talking, and stared at the black window.
She didn't expect that Li Xiangzhi's head hung down weakly, and she said weakly, "Why am I so sleepy......"
Songsheng still stared out the window and whispered, "Aunt, then you can lie down and sleep." "
Li Xiangzhi didn't move, her head was really pressed on Songsheng's shoulder, and she fell asleep groggily.
The laughter was gone. Or, the laughing man had already walked in through the door.
After a while, Songsheng felt that something was wrong, moved his shoulders slightly, and called, "Aunt ......"
Li Xiangzhi fell straight on the kang like a dry log.
Songsheng jumped up and staggered out of the house: "Someone! ---"
A figure scurried out of the courtyard, wearing a tattered padded jacket and trousers.
Li Xiangzhi died of cerebral thrombosis.
It was a complete coincidence that Li Xiangzhi died on the day I was born.
I think that when I die, there must have been countless people born, and there is no fuss.
