Ye Han felt heavy when he stepped into the village again. He had not been back here for several years. Although it had been many years, there were no big changes in the village. Along the bumpy stone road, Ye Han walked step by step.
Entering the village, there are low and dilapidated mud-tile houses on both sides of the road. There are a few curls of smoke rising slightly in the sky. In someone's chicken coop, the chicken door is chirping. Occasionally, one or two chickens are heard.
A dog barks.
Ye Han's family lives in the east end of the village, and there are still a few corners to turn. The long-awaited mountain village has lost its liveliness. Many young people in the village have stopped coming back, and those who remain are
Some lonely old people, who have never left the mountains in their lives, will eventually fall asleep here.
At the door of the dilapidated house, a few old men with gray hair, dark skin, and skinny bones were squatting here and there. They were holding a chipped porcelain bowl in their hands, pouting out the contents of the bowl with trembling hands.
The batter is mushy and delicious to eat.
The sudden arrival of someone made these old people feel very curious. They looked at Ye Han numbly, looking so strange. It's no wonder that Ye Han rarely comes back. It is estimated that they have been unable to recognize Ye Han for a long time.
Although these old people could not recognize Ye Han, Ye Han could recognize them. Every time he saw someone, he took the initiative to say hello: "Third uncle, fourth aunt, second grandma, Uncle Xilin..."
After these people heard Ye Han's voice, they all looked at Ye Han inexplicably. Not long after, an old man's eyes finally lit up, he slowly stood up, and shouted with a hint of suspicion: "Han Wazi?
"
When Ye Han heard someone calling him, there was a burst of joy on his face. He immediately walked over, looked at the old man who could not even straighten his back, and shouted: "Uncle Xilin, it's me, I'm Han Wazi."
"Han Wazi..." Uncle Xilin looked at Ye Han carefully again, put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, and reached out to touch Ye Han's face. He was so excited, "It's really Han Wazi..."
As he said that, Uncle Xilin turned his head, faced an old woman opposite, and shouted to her: "His fourth aunt, come here quickly, it's really our Hanwazi who is back..."
"Hanwazi is back?" The fourth aunt also hurriedly dropped the bowls and chopsticks in her hands, opened her little feet, and ran over quickly. After taking a closer look at Ye Han, she shouted happily: "It's Hanwazi! Hanwazi!"
Wazi is back...Han Wazi is back..."
For a moment, Ye Han's arrival caused an explosion in this originally peaceful mountain village. The fourth aunt's high-pitched voice was so penetrating that even half the village could hear it. So, hearing the fourth aunt's voice,
The people who spoke all came out of their homes one after another and leaned towards Uncle Xi Lin. In just a moment, more than twenty old people of different ages gathered around Ye Han.
Basically, the appearance of these old people has not changed much, but Ye Han has changed a lot. But no matter what, these old people who watched Ye Han grow up can still recognize Ye Han. Everyone said something here and there, most of them
They are all saying that Ye Han has grown taller and stronger.
At this moment, a skinny old man squeezed out from the crowd, with a gloomy face and a hint of anger in his eyes as he looked at Ye Han.
"Uncle Six!" When Ye Han saw the old man approaching, he hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man.
Unexpectedly, before Ye Han could reach his hand, Uncle Six raised his hand and slapped Ye Han hard, shouting angrily: "You unfilial beast! Do you still know how to come back?"
Uncle Liu's behavior made other elderly people in the village suddenly become silent, and their original joy was clouded.
Uncle Xilin tugged at Uncle Liu's clothes and said a little unhappily: "Lao Liu, what are you doing? Why do you want to beat the child when he is so good? Han Wazi finally came back..."
"Shut up! This is my own business and has nothing to do with you!" Uncle Six had a hot temper. Before Uncle Xi Lin could finish his words, he yelled at Xi Lin. At the same time, he was very emotional and clenched his hands.
Trembling constantly.
Seeing that Uncle Liu was angry, Ye Han hurriedly explained: "Uncle Six, I..."
"You unfilial beast! Beast! Beast!" Uncle Liu didn't give Ye Han a chance to explain at all, and just waved his hands away with three big mouths. This shows how angry Uncle Six was.
"Old Liu! If you keep fighting like this, Han Wazi will be beaten to death by you!" Uncle Xilin saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly grabbed Uncle Liu by force.
"Xilin! Let me go and let me beat this unfilial beast to death!" Uncle Liu said angrily.
Ye Han knelt down on the ground with a "pop" sound. His sixth uncle was his biological sixth uncle. His father passed away when he was very young. He was raised by his sixth uncle. For him, his sixth uncle was the sixth uncle.
Like half of his father. He thought Uncle Six was complaining that he hadn't come back in the past few years, so he explained: "Uncle Six, I know I was wrong. I have some reasons for not coming back in the past few years..."
Uncle Six was pulled by Uncle Xi Lin, but his anger did not go away. When he heard Ye Han defending himself, he said angrily: "Han Wazi! Uncle Six also knows that it is not easy for you to come back from outside, and Uncle Six does not ask you to come back every year.
I want to come back. But there has been no news from you for five years in a row, as if you have disappeared! You unfilial beast! When your mother was dying, she kept calling your name and couldn't even see you even if she wanted to. You..."
As soon as Ye Han heard what Uncle Liu said, he was immediately confused. He couldn't believe his ears and hurriedly shouted: "Uncle Liu, what did you just say? My mother...what happened to my mother?"
"Do you still know that you have a mother? Your mother pooped and peed until you got bigger..." Uncle Liu's eyes filled with tears and he began to scold.
Ye Han stood up in a hurry, grabbed Uncle Liu's shoulders, opened his eyes wide, and asked: "Uncle Six, what did you say happened to my mother just now? Where is my mother?"
Before Uncle Six could answer, Ye Han couldn't wait any longer. He let go of Uncle Six, pushed aside the crowd and ran towards home.
Ye Han shouted loudly while running: "Mom! I'm back! Mom! Don't let anything happen to you..."
Running fast, Ye Han reached the eastern end of the village. When he turned a corner in the road, what suddenly came into his eyes was the house that had collapsed for a long time. His home had long been reduced to ruins.
"Mom..." Ye Han saw such a scene, his legs softened, and he collapsed on the ground. The tears that were originally rolling in his eyes now burst out of his eyes, and the soybean-like tears dripped down his cheeks and fell to the ground.
.
At this moment, he finally knew why Uncle Liu was so angry and hit him. Seeing the ruins of his home, he had to face reality. He was filled with grief, and his hands clenched tightly into fists on the ground.
He raised his fists angrily and hit himself violently.
Uncle Liu and the villagers came later. Seeing Ye Han crying so sadly, many people couldn't help but burst into tears. Uncle Liu, who was originally furious, gradually calmed down when he saw Ye Han crying, and walked slowly towards
Ye Han.
Ye Han was heartbroken. He never expected that his mother would die. He began to blame and blame himself.
Uncle Six looked at Ye Han without saying anything, and felt very sad.
"Uncle Six, my mother has always been in good health, how could it be..." Ye Han suddenly wiped his tears, turned to look at Uncle Six, and asked.
Uncle Liu sighed heavily and said unbearably: "Oh! That was five years ago... Your sister was in high school in the county town. One day she came back suddenly and I don't know what she said to your mother.
, since then, your mother has been sighing and listless every day. Later, for some reason, your mother became seriously ill, and as a result, she couldn't afford it..."
At this point, Uncle Six was a little choked up and stopped talking.
After hearing this, Ye Han felt extremely guilty. It must be that his sister knew about his imprisonment five years ago, and her sister told her mother. Then her mother became depressed and became ill, and finally passed away.
When he thought of this, Ye Han hated himself. If he hadn't been imprisoned five years ago, then his mother wouldn't have...
"Uncle Six, I want to see my mother..."
"You come with me!"
Ye Han stood up, followed Uncle Six, and walked up the mountain.
After walking for several miles, Uncle Liu took Ye Han to the top of the mountain, pointed to the small earth bag piled with stones and said, "After your mother left, I buried him here according to your mother's last words. She said,
She wants to stand on the top of the mountain so that as soon as you appear, she can see you..."
Ye Han knelt in front of his mother's tomb, unable to hold back any longer. Tears flowed out uncontrollably like a torrent. At the same time, his heart felt like it had been cut with a knife, and it was painful.
Uncle Six looked at Ye Han's sobbing shoulders, sighed heavily, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes, and said to the tomb: "Sister-in-law Five, Han Wazi is back, he's back to see you..."
For a long time, Ye Han cried bitterly. He knelt in front of the tomb and kowtowed to the tomb. The stone was already stained with blood, and his forehead had already been bruised. But no matter how much he knelt,
He couldn't even save his mother.
The originally clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds. Not long after, darkness fell between the sky and the earth. Strong winds began to blow suddenly. A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, followed by thunder. In just a moment, there was heavy rain.
.
"Uncle Six, please go back first. I want to stay here for a while." Ye Han's body was washed away by the rain. The strong wind blew the rain, which hit Ye Han's body like soybeans. In such weather, as an old man,
Uncle Six was afraid that he couldn't bear it, so he took the initiative to persuade Uncle Six to go back.
Uncle Six was unwilling to go back, but couldn't resist Ye Han's persuasion, so he slowly went down the mountain.
When Uncle Six had gone far away, Ye Han was still kneeling in front of the tomb, feeling extremely sad in his heart. He looked up at the sky with lightning, thunder, wind and rain, and roared from the bottom of his heart: "God! What on earth did I do wrong? Why did you
Do you want to do this to me?"
Ye Han's hysterical roar was only replaced by rumbling thunder. At this moment, Ye Han's five years of injustice came back to his mind. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more unfair he thought about it. Finally, he faced this injustice.
God, I vow to seek justice for myself and get back everything I have lost over the years!
When it was getting dark, Ye Han came down from the top of the mountain and went directly to Uncle Liu's house. As soon as he entered the door, he asked: "Uncle Liu, where is my sister?"
