The Three Cripples are our famous old bachelors. Fengxia's death is more or less related to him. I heard that he broke his leg while playing when he was a child. At that time, the medical facilities were not perfect and his family did not take him to the hospital.
The hospital showed that after his leg healed, he was slightly lame. In addition, he was the third child, so everyone called him the third lame man.
In my opinion, his legs do not hinder him from working in the fields at all. Normally if you watch him walk or something, you wouldn’t be able to tell if you don’t look carefully. And at that time, I also saw him stealing chickens, and his legs and feet were very nimble.
But he is just lazy and lazy. I heard adults say that when he was a child, his parents always looked after him, so they didn't let him do anything. After his parents left, he still had the same virtue. He stayed at the eldest brother's house for two days, and stayed at the second brother's house for two days.
He was over ten years old and still hadn't married. He would do anything and everything, and no one in the village, including old people and children, wanted to see him.
But now he has called my son away. I looked at him lying on the ground and couldn't help but move forward and said, "Three cripples, where is my son? Where is my son!"
The three cripples didn't care about me at all. They took out a red thread from their pocket and tied it to a blade of grass. There was a small red flower on it, which looked like a pigtail giving birth to a child. I often played in the mountains.
I generally know the flowers and plants on the mountain, such as the cat bone flower, the edible Tiantian (eggplant), etc., but I have never seen the one from the San Laizi family.
But I no longer cared about that much, and stretched out my hand to pull him, "Three cripples! Where is my baby!!" I felt like I was about to cry, how could a living child be killed by his shouting!
The three cripples dug the soil with their hands and glanced at me, "Ma Jiaolong, do you hear me when you go up? You kid doesn't understand. You thought he was a child. This is a ginseng doll that has become a sperm!!"
"
At that time, I grew up with my grandma. Some adults used to call me grandma and grandpa by their surnames. They were both named Ma, so most people called me Ma Jiaolong. Very few people knew that my surname was actually Lin.
I was stunned at that time and looked at the three cripples who were still digging in the soil. "What do you mean by giving birth to a child?"
The three lame man snorted and smiled proudly, "If you ask me, this is my wealth. When I was at home, my left eyelid kept twitching, and I wanted to go up the mountain. I didn't expect that I would see it as soon as I got up the mountain.
, it must be hundreds of years old. If I sell this, not to mention building three houses, I will have enough wives to marry several wives."
I saw that he ignored me at all and just talked to himself. His eyes were full of excitement that could not be concealed. I was a little anxious, so I squatted down and took his arm. "Three cripples, please tell me clearly! Stop digging and have children."
What’s going on!!”
"Why are you having a baby?!" The three lame man suddenly became angry and stretched out his hand to open it for me. "Ma Jiaolong, I see that for your grandma's sake, I don't know how to treat you like a brat. You know, go home!"
Don’t delay me from getting rich!!!”
I was pulled so hard by one of his old men that I rolled over a few times. When I got up and was about to run over, the three cripples stared at me with blood-red eyes and raised their fingers, "Get out! Don't blame me for beating you when you come here."
You, don't talk about your grandma when the time comes, it won't work even if the King of Heaven comes!"
His appearance might have frightened me, and I didn’t know where the baby was, so tears burst out of my eyes. I cried while muttering, "Three cripples! Give me back the baby!!"
The third lame man looked at me and sneered, "Ma Jiaolong, you don't have to cry, you will see the birth soon. Don't worry, I will give you a look to gain your knowledge."
I sniffed and looked at him. I didn't know what the three lame man meant by what he said. After a while, the sun was about to set. I saw the three cripple man take out something from the hole he dug. I knew that thing.
I saw someone selling it at the market, and my grandma said it was called ginseng.
The one that the three cripples dug out now was obviously much bigger than the ones sold in the market, and it had arms and legs that looked like a child. I didn’t know what happened at that time, and my heart suddenly felt sour.
I think that means giving birth.
"Ma Jiaolong, your third uncle, I am in a good mood today, so I told you that the one you are playing with is not a child at all, but a ginseng that has become a sperm. It will take hundreds of years for ginseng to become a sperm. Uncle
Thank you here. Thank you for making my uncle rich. Go home. When your uncle gets rich, he will definitely not forget you and buy you delicious food!" The three lame man took the ginseng.
, waved at me twice, raised his feet and started to go down the mountain.
I became anxious all of a sudden, so I went up and hugged his thigh, "No! You can't leave! That's giving birth, you bury him! You bury him! You can't sell it to him!!!"
"You little girl, you are stupid! Is there any use for me to bury him now? You hear me, let go immediately. Don't think that he is yours just because you play with him. You know nothing!"
I hugged his legs tightly and said, "He is neither mine nor yours. He is a child. You bury him! He is in the mountains!!!"
"Go away!!" The three lame man threw me aside with all his strength. I stood up and wanted to rush forward. He flew up with his slightly lame leg and kicked me in the stomach. At that time, I
Unable to hold it any longer, she screamed "Ah!", took a few steps back and fell to the ground, almost being killed by his kick.
The three cripples looked at me lying on the ground angrily, "No matter how big or small you are, you are just a wild child. Do you know that if it wasn't for your grandma's sake, I would kill you? Damn it, how dare you"
You're delaying me from getting rich!" As he said that, he strode down the mountain.
I don’t know where I got the strength. I staggered up from the ground and reached out to touch a big rock as if he had smashed it over. “Three cripples!! You can’t sell your child!!”
The big stone went straight to the head of the three lame man, and then I heard the three lame man grunting, covering his head and turning back to look at me numbly, "Little Bi Zai, you dare to hit..."
Before he could finish his words, his legs fell to his knees on the ground, his body tilted, and he fell down.
I didn't care about that anymore. When I saw the three cripples falling down in shock, I instinctively thought that I had beaten him to death. Then I ran next to him, picked up the ginseng in his hand, stretched out my hand and
When I touched the three lame men, he was still breathing, but the back of his head was bleeding.
I didn't know what to do, so I glanced at the ginseng in my hand and said, "Giving a baby, are you giving birth?"
The ginseng was still covered with soil, but there was no response from me.
I looked back at the place where I dug out the ginseng, and at the three cripples lying on the ground, crying and running down the mountain.
