Lulu's father went crazy, slurred in speech, pushed through the crowd like a devil and ran towards the old Hetao in the south.
The village chief, Uncle Qian, took dozens of tall and powerful men to look for him. My father also went and didn't come back until night.
I knelt in front of the memorial tablet of my ancestors, with tears falling down my cheeks. My mother scolded me and spanked me with a rolling pin.
I didn't have the shame to cry, so I just endured the pain. My mother beat me until I couldn't even kneel down, and I kept moving forward.
"Why don't you tell your family about such a big thing! What nonsense are you listening to? That's a goblin. Can you believe what a goblin says?
He just saw that you are a human being and have evil spirit, so he asked you to entrust the bird's nest. Gods do not harm mortals, and the evil spirit can also clear the two of you of different natures. Do you know that you are being held hostage by others?
This is great, if Lulu hadn't saved you, your brain would have been pierced when you took it off!"
The more my mother scolded, the louder and louder she began to cry. I couldn't tell whether it was because she was afraid of me after hearing what I said about the old man, or because she felt sorry for me when she hit me.
Maybe both.
My second uncle was watching me from the side and kept wiping the sweat from his face with a white towel. When my mother hit me, he couldn't help but reach out his hand to protect me.
The second uncle said weakly: "That spider spirit is really hard to guard against. I didn't expect it to sneak into our house so quietly. It first went to Lulu's house to confuse the minds of Lulu's parents, and then transformed into a hospital doctor and used secret methods to treat us.
Girl Yun has put on her snake eyes, I'm afraid this is the day she's been waiting for."
"Yeah, I guess Nuanting was targeted when we were in the fruit tree field. The spider spirit is also bold and careful. With so many masters and fathers in our family, it dares to act recklessly. It's just that I'm not at home, so it's so painful.
Two children."
"Yes, sister-in-law, if this spider successfully survives the disaster today, what comes out of Lulu's mother's belly will not be a spider, but a real boy."
My mother snorted coldly and said: "He really wants to reincarnate. If Lulu's mother really gives birth to a boy, he will not be a human, but a demon. Lulu's parents will be consumed by him in less than half a year, maybe ten miles away."
Eight villages will suffer."
"That's true. In fact, by doing this, Girl Yun can be regarded as a blessing in disguise and has saved dozens of people."
"It's a pity that Lulu's parents... ugh."
"Sister-in-law, you can forgive God's sins, but you can't live with your own sins. In the final analysis, it was Bai Zhicheng who was too greedy, which allowed the monster to take advantage of it. Now I still want to think about how to find the spider spirit."
My mother sighed and was about to put down the rolling pin when she suddenly came to her senses and scolded my second uncle: "I'm teaching the child a lesson, so don't change the subject."
"Hey, sister-in-law, Girl Yun is also confused when she is concerned. She is only six years old and doesn't know so much. She is just afraid that something will happen to you, so don't hit her." The second uncle smiled and apologized, and my mother did not hit me again.
Thoughtful.
With tears in my eyes, I looked at my second uncle with a grateful look, and my second uncle blinked at me with his round, black and bright eyes.
The second uncle came over and helped me up and said, "Lulu hasn't woken up yet, let's go take a look. I don't know when the eldest brother will be back."
When I moved, my buttocks almost exploded. The pain made me gasp, and I covered my buttocks and dared not move.
My second uncle simply picked me up and wiped my crying face with his sleeves.
I looked at my mother carefully and saw that she didn't say anything, so I rested my chin on my second uncle's shoulder with peace of mind.
Lulu fell asleep on the kang, and Aunt Lu sat beside the kang and put a wet towel on Lulu's neck.
I just learned today that although Aunt Lu has a mouth like a loudspeaker, she has a warm heart.
She knew that Lulu and I were frightened, and it was Lulu's parents who were in trouble, so she sent us a basket of free-range eggs, saying that they would replenish our health.
Aunt Lu also said that although she had issues with Lulu's parents, it was none of the children's business and adults' matters should not be involved with the children.
What's more, what Aunt Lu said about celebrating the holidays was to protect my father and mother.
Aunt Lu's figure suddenly grew taller in my heart.
When Aunt Lu saw us walking in, I was still crying until I was blinded by snot. I stood up with a cry and said, "Guizhi, why did the baby drip? Why are you crying like this?"
My mother's attitude changed completely. She took Aunt Lu's hand and sat down again. She smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just that the child is naughty. I can't do it without beating her."
"Then don't beat her too hard. Look at how little Yun is crying."
My second uncle put me on the kang. I avoided my injured buttocks and lay down next to Lulu, grinning.
Aunt Lu couldn't stand it and said a few words to my mother, who responded with a smile.
But I know that next time this happens, my mother will definitely hit me again.
"By the way, Sister-in-law Lu, do you believe the village chief?" The second uncle filled Aunt Lu's water.
Aunt Lu patted her forehead and said, "Yes, I still want to talk about this when I come here. Guess what?"
"What's wrong?"
"Just now, the second son of Lao Wang's family came back to report that..." Aunt Lu paused, made sure that Lulu hadn't woken up, and continued, "It was said that when she found Lulu's father in Lao Hetao, he was already cold.
La!"
"What!" the second uncle asked in surprise, "Why is it so cold? Didn't you just run out?"
"Hey, if a person is unlucky enough to have his teeth stuck even after drinking cold water, then Lulu's father was bitten to death by a fox, and his intestines were all eaten away."
Aunt Lu spoke so vividly that my scalp felt numb.
But a fox is so small, can it bite someone to death?
As I was thinking this, my mother happened to ask: "How old is the fox that can kill Lulu's father?"
"Doesn't that mean that Lulu's father was frightened crazy by what happened to Lulu's mother today? Unlike us ordinary people, he doesn't know how to run away when he sees wild animals. I heard from the second boy of the old Wang family that when they arrive, then
The fox is still eating meat. It ran away when someone came, and the fox is bigger than ordinary foxes! It is fiery red, but its tail is black!"
After Aunt Lu finished speaking, we all fell into silence.
On the one hand, it was pitiful that Lulu’s biological parents were gone, and on the other hand, the idea of foxes eating humans was unheard of and horrifying.
Aunt Lu stretched her neck and looked at the sky and said, "Okay Guizhi, I'm going back too. Today is July 15th. I don't dare to stay outside for too long."
"I'll take you back to Sister-in-law Lu." The second uncle said and stood up.
Aunt Lu smiled and waved her hand: "No need, it's just a matter of a few steps."
"Farewell, you are just fooling around. We don't trust you if you leave on your own." My mother also said.
"Okay, then I'll have to worry about my second trip."
"Goodbye, Aunt Lu." I greeted obediently.
Aunt Lu pinched my face and went out with my second uncle.
I lay on the window sill and watched Aunt Lu leave.
Tonight the streets are full of wandering ghosts, some are white, some are black, some are red, some are green, some are about two meters high, some are as short as dwarfs, all kinds of ghosts are as lively as going to the market.
The bodies of my second uncle and Aunt Lu, who were walking among the ghosts, gradually glowed with white light. It must be that my second uncle secretly recited the anti-ghost charm.
No wonder my second uncle wanted to send Aunt Lu out.
My second uncle is really a clever little guy.
My mother sat on the edge of the kang, sighing and lighting a cigarette.
I covered my nose and turned around, my butt aching slightly: "Mom, why do you smoke too?"
My mother stared at the shoes on the ground and said, "I'm afraid this July won't be peaceful."
