As soon as the shovel went down, his stepmother's already tattered clothes couldn't stop it at all, and a big hole was made in her stomach. With a "pop" sound, the bulging belly leaked air, and her intestines slid all over the floor along the big hole.
, along with a round thing.
"It's a stillbirth! She is indeed pregnant with a bastard!"
"Bah! It's really not a good thing. He's restless while he's alive. He flirts with the village gentlemen all day long, and even after he's dead, he'll come back to scare people!"
"Master Bai, please suppress her so that she can't reincarnate, but don't cause trouble again!"
The villagers who were watching were chattering and talking viciously.
The master glanced sideways at the people who were speaking, half-smiling but not smiling, with a bit of coldness in his eyes, and said lightly, "Evil people see everything as evil in their hearts. Keep your dog eyes wide open and look carefully. What is in her belly!"
"
When everyone was scolded by the master, they were stunned and fell into silence. They didn't understand why the master was angry.
I braved it and stepped forward to take a look. If I looked closely, it was just a ball of flesh, and it was also a bit rotten. But if it was a fetus, it would have to be formed at such a size. Why didn't I see the head, arms and legs? This
What the hell is this?
The master turned to me and said: "Xiao Feng, take a few of the evil evil charms I drew for you and put them on them. It just makes her angry. There is nothing wrong with her. She can't move when she sees the sun during the day. It dissipates the evil spirit for her."
That’s it!”
I said "Oh", took out a few evil-breaking charms that I usually drew from my pocket, held the seals as my master taught me, recited a few incantations, and resisted my nausea, and stuck them on the vital points of Widow Ma's body.
The corpse trembled for a while, as if it was struggling to get up. I was so frightened that I quickly took a few steps back.
Widow Ma's body suddenly sounded like the sound of steam in a steamer, and thick black smoke could be seen with the naked eye. After a while, the evil spirit was dissipated. Widow Ma's body collapsed as she watched.
Stocks smell like corpses.
"Hey, what is this?"
I was relatively close to Widow Ma, and I saw something sticking out of the pocket of her tattered clothes.
I reached out and pulled it out from my pocket, and saw that it was a letter. After all the tossing, it was revealed.
I handed the letter to "Monkey", but he cursed and pushed me without reading it, tore up the letter and threw it away.
I quickly picked it up and pieced it together to see if his stepmother had anything to explain. If everyone was gone, what would be the problem?
I saw a few lines of Junxiu small regular script written neatly on the letter:
"Xiao Qing, when you read this letter, my mother has already gone to find your damn father. Although I am not your biological mother, I still love you from the bottom of my heart. Every time I hit you and scold you, my mother feels uncomfortable, but I
I have to be cruel to treat you like this. The children of the poor have long been in charge. You must get rid of your problems and learn to be self-reliant as soon as possible!
Mom already knew that she didn’t have long to live. She had a tumor in her stomach. She was in pain all day and all night long. She couldn’t stand it any longer. She had to swallow opium ointment every time to relieve the pain. I didn’t want you to see my mother in pain.
I can only pay you out.
There is a bankbook in the envelope under the kang mat, which is the compensation left by your damn father after he was in a car accident. Mom hasn’t touched a cent, save some money, you should be able to use it until you are 20 years old, and you can only rely on yourself for the future. At that time
You are older too.
I'm sorry, Xiaoqing. Mom failed to take good care of you and watch you grow up. She didn't have the face to explain to your father and your mother in the underworld. I'm sorry...don't blame mom for being cruel..."
"Mom, the last word!"
My nose felt sore, my heart was blocked, and tears welled up unsatisfactorily and flowed down my face.
Those naughty people in the village, who had been stuffed all day long, said that she secretly got pregnant secretly, but that was not the case at all! It was because she had a tumor in her belly that she looked so bulging!
She probably felt that she was hopeless and didn't want to waste money by going to the hospital. She saved all the money for the unlucky "monkey" to go to school, so she went to the mountains to commit suicide. And she was bitten by some beast and became angry. She felt guilty in her heart.
Obsessed, I couldn't let go of "Monkey", so I came back to see him.
I wiped away my tears, walked a few steps quickly and handed the letter to "Monkey" so that he could take a good look at it!
Unexpectedly, the grandson became anxious and yelled at me: "It depends on you! This bitch, thanks to my father being so kind to her while he is still alive, my father just died last year, and she went to a wild man, should she pay him back?"
If you get pregnant, get out of here if you think I'm a burden. I can live on my own. It's so good that she's dead. It's retribution! She deserves it! Bah!"
"Snapped!"
I couldn't restrain my anger, and I felt a rush of blood. I used my backhand with two big mouths and slapped him hard on the face!
"ah……"
"Monkey" was stunned. He didn't expect that I would hit him.
"Keep your damn eyes wide open and read the letter! Your mother is not pregnant at all!" I shouted at him.
The people around us were also confused when they saw our reaction, and they all came over to ask us what was wrong.
"You let him speak for himself, what a fool!" I suppressed my anger and threw the letter to the "monkey".
He took the letter and read it for a long time without saying a word. He burst into tears with red eyes, threw himself on his stepmother, slapped his big mouth hard, and then another, until he was exhausted from crying.
Someone with good intentions picked up the letters on the ground and read them together, only then did they know the truth.
The villagers knew that they had misunderstood Widow Ma, and they all wiped away their tears and praised her as a great stepmother!
The master seemed to have known this would happen, and seemed very calm. He invited me to go home for dinner, and arranged for onlookers to call the police. After all, the person was dead and had to be dealt with legally.
Later, I heard from the villagers that the police came. After a forensic autopsy, Widow Ma was poisoned by swallowing too much cigarette paste at one time, and her belly was not a stillbirth, but a late-stage cancer with a big tumor. She also said
A situation like hers would be extremely painful, and I really don’t know how she could resist it.
Someone suddenly realized that they had seen Widow Ma getting into the corn field before. After a while, they heard a cry from the field. They thought she was doing something shameful with someone... Only now did they realize that it was the tumor that was causing unbearable pain.
, don’t want people to know!
The villagers found her conscience and pooled their money to find a coffin maker named Huang Laizi. They bought a well-paid chestnut coffin and buried her in a grand ceremony.
On the second day after the funeral, someone was collecting firewood from the mountains and passing by Widow Ma's grave. They found the "monkey" hanging on the crooked tree in front of Widow Ma's grave, hanging to death.
At the door of his stepmother's tomb, he pressed a note with a stone and wrote a few lines crookedly:
"Mom, I was wrong! Forgive me for being such a bastard. I'm here to accompany you! Go downstairs and bring you tea and water to wash your feet. Serve you well. If there is an afterlife, I don't want you to be your stepmother. Let me reincarnate.
I will be your biological son! I will repay you with my whole life!"
When the villagers found out that "Monkey" had hanged himself, they were all very sad, so they buried him next to Widow Ma's grave, hoping that their family could be reunited underneath.
When I told the master what I had heard, the old man was squatting in the yard basking in the sun, holding the shiny old pipe in his hand and smoking endlessly.
From time to time he exhaled a puff of smoke, and at the same time he said something that I had not thought about for a long time. He said: "When turbidity becomes the norm, innocence becomes a sin!"
I don’t understand how this old man came up with such profound words, and I don’t understand whether this sentence is about Widow Ma? Himself? Or all living beings...
