My grandparents told me not to enter other people's homes without invitation.
That's impolite behavior.
Not what a good boy should do.
But…..
Lele pursed her lips.
He was really curious...
I really want to see what Old Man Mao, who is hated by the whole village, looks like?
…
Um?
Lele's heart skipped a beat.
He suddenly raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the house.
Trying hard to see clearly what's inside through the crack in the door.
…
He heard something...
What is it?
Lele listened attentively.
He pulled up his ears.
Trying hard to capture the sounds that I caught by chance.
…
The sound of wind and rain instantly filled his cochlea.
Lele couldn't help but take a few steps forward.
He didn't care about the rain hitting him.
All his attention was now on that strange sound.
What is it?
…
A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.
Suddenly it illuminates everything in front of me.
It also clearly captured the scene in the house.
Although it is fleeting...
Lele stood stunned on the spot as if struck by lightning.
…
"……I saw……"
Lele picked up the milk and drank several sips, but still felt an uncomfortable feeling similar to dry mouth.
"I saw…..."
The child repeated it several times.
I don’t know whether the trembling of the body caused the trembling of the voice, or whether the trembling of the voice spread to the whole body...
…
"It's in the past."
Xiao Xiao looked at the child.
He doesn't know what happened...
Maybe it's something terrible?
This makes the child unable to speak freely even today, many years later.
Maybe he should ask the child not to force it.
Let bygones be bygones.
But there was a vague voice in his heart telling him that he should continue to listen.
Some things can't just go away without being talked about.
speak out……
Only then can we pass.
…
The child shook violently, as if he was frightened by Xiao Xiao's voice.
However, after shaking like this, the fear in the child's heart was relieved a lot.
The child clenched his fists.
Big brother is right.
It's in the past……
…
The child took several deep breaths.
Breathing hard like a dying person.
The child reached out and knocked on his chest.
"……I saw……"
The child's voice is hoarse.
Listening to this made people frown.
…
The child once again had nothing to say.
The child wanted to scream in frustration.
…
"Not urgent."
Xiao Xiao is very patient.
"Speak slowly."
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows at the child who came over.
…
The child looked at Xiao Xiao blankly.
After a long while, the child nodded.
He lowered his eyes.
Look at the milk in front of you.
"I saw……"
The child unconsciously repeated these words again.
"I saw……"
There was no blood on the child's face.
The milk in front of me suddenly turned a dazzling scarlet color.
…
The darkness returned to my eyes.
Lele seemed to have lost her soul, her posture was stiff and awkward.
He finally understood what he heard before, and of course, what was still coming to his ears now...
…
"boom!"
The child fell backwards and sat on the ground.
His pale face was full of shock.
He stretched out his hands and covered his ears hard.
don't want……
He didn't want to hear that voice again!
very scary……
Disgusting……
…
The scene that had just flashed past appeared in front of my eyes again.
The child shook his head vigorously.
I want to get rid of the terrible images in my mind.
He opened his mouth to scream.
But he filled his mouth with rainwater.
It was as if he suddenly became mute.
He could only make a hoarse cry like that of a wild animal in dire straits.
Not a sentence.
There is no tone.
Extremely unpleasant to hear.
It was like a bone scraper scraping the child's fragile heart.
…
The child wants to escape.
But he couldn't stand up at all.
He kicked his legs desperately.
Move yourself back.
…
"Lele!"
Grandpa found that all the children from other families who were playing with his grandson had gone home, but his own grandson was nowhere to be seen.
He asked the old woman where they separated, and immediately went all the way to find her.
Such heavy rain...
Hope the child is just hiding somewhere from the rain.
Rather than an accident.
…
The grandparents searched around but could not find the child.
Just when they were looking back more and more worriedly, the old man seemed to hear something.
He stopped.
"Shh."
He signaled the old woman to be silent.
He struggled to identify the source of the sound.
The sound of wind and rain suppressed all sounds.
Only by chance did some different sounds come out.
Snap... snap... snap...
Is it the sound of feet tapping on the ground?
…
The old man gradually approached the gate of Old Man Mao's yard.
…
When the old lady saw that the old man seemed to have heard something, she tilted her head and even picked up her own ears.
Also want to hear something.
…
The old man put his hand on the courtyard door.
His ear was pressed against the door panel.
Of course he knew this was Old Man Mao's home.
He's not sure...
He told the old woman, especially the old woman, and the child many times to stay away from Old Man Mao.
It's far away from Old Man Mao's home.
Although Old Man Mao seems to have not appeared in the village for a long time recently, I don’t know whether he is dead or alive...
Did the child not listen to what they said?
The old man frowned.
He pushed open the courtyard door.
…
"Lele!"
The old lady was still wondering why she came to Old Man Mao's house... She felt a little bit displeased and disgusted...
Old Man Mao's child is a good boy.
Even though Old Man Mao had a bad temper and did not set a good example, he did not expect that the bad bamboo would grow good bamboo shoots, so the child was very good.
Be polite to your elders.
Take care of other children like a big brother.
People are also smart.
They all said it was the child's mother's fault.
The child's mother is really emotionally stable.
Generous, courteous and capable.
Not spreading any bad emotions to the children.
Only then can the child grow without any deformity when he has such a father.
…
They are all optimistic about this child's future.
Who would have thought...
future……
This child has no future at all.
Flowers that have not yet bloomed die prematurely.
Why doesn't it make people heartbroken and unable to let go?
…
The child had a chance to be saved.
As long as old man Mao is not lazy and falls asleep on the side.
…
How ironic…
The child's father is sleeping.
In the pond not far away, the child sank to the bottom of the pond in despair.
How ironic.
It’s so crazy.
…
The mother held the child and cried until she fainted several times.
Even though she fainted, the child's mother still held her child tightly.
The child's mother had a big fight with Old Man Mao for the first time.
He even beat old man Mao.
In the end, that old man actually had the nerve to fight back?!
