I have been deaf for decades and can hear the sound at once. This is really a strange thing.
The deaf mother followed the screams and looked at the hillside in front of the door. The pine trees on the slope, oak trees, locust trees, are dense like combs, growing from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. The sunlight is almost impossible to penetrate.
There seems to be a black shadow running through the woods, and he has a personal outline. But there are no eye sockets, nose, mouth, ears and limbs.
"Autumn--cloud! Autumn--cloud! Autumn..." This scream does not seem to be coming from a person's mouth. It sounds a bit like a beast's roar, low and vague. But if you listen carefully, you are indeed calling her.
"Hey, hey, who are you? Why are you asking me for?" After responding, the deaf woman suddenly felt that her soul had left her body and she followed the person who was not human. And she herself was as if she was being stripped of her cocoon, and she was so immersed that she would collapse at any time.
"Oh! My soul is gone." After hearing her say, Mr. Liu shook his head, "If you don't respond, you can live at least ten more years."
"What, how is that possible?" In broad daylight, Liu Hengzi was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat.
"Look at that." Mr. Liu pointed to the woods on the slope in front of the deaf wife, "Did you see that cypress tree ?"
"I, I won't look." Liu Hengzi knew that what he was referring to was definitely not a good person.
"There is a grave under that tree. The tree can grow so well because it eats human bones and blood." Mr. Liu continued, "The tree has become a spirit, which harms people." Of course, Wang Jianjun next to
certainly didn't believe it, but he didn't interrupt him. He let him talk nonsense, wanting to wait to see what he could say.
"Anyway, that's your godmother. I'm afraid people are really not good, after all, age is there. I'm here to give you a little talk, hoping you can handle the funeral for her." This is what Wang Jianjun said when he went to find Liu Hengzi. If Liu Hengzi didn't do it, he could only arrange it and ask the villagers to raise money, ask Mr. Liu to show him a cemetery, tie a tomb, and send the deaf woman to the grave.
"Okay?" Liu Heng promised to be readily. He asked Junfeng to ride his bicycle and call Mr. Liu from afar, and then followed him and Wang Jianjun to the old house where the deaf mother lived. After
, after Mr. Liu's inquiry, the deaf woman said the above inexplicable words.
Mr. Liu told them that she asked Cypress Spirit to call them.
When Wang Jianjun took Mr. Liu to show her the cemetery near the deaf mother's residence, Liu Hengzi kept guarding the kang. During this period, she also drank half of the enamel water, ate two cakes from peony, half a bowl of fried tofu, and a bowl of rice soup.
probably felt that I was not good enough, and I didn’t expect to be a starving ghost in the underworld. Or maybe I usually have a full meal and a hungry meal, so the deaf mother was very full that day.
Most of the life didn't interact. Before her death, Liu Hengzi, Mudan, Junfeng and a group of fellow villagers came to see her off on the road, and she was content.
When the sun was about to set, most of the men in Xiaoe, Xiaoli, Yuehong, and Papaya Gully were still on the construction site. Accompanied by Wang Jianjun, Mr. Liu finally showed the deaf mother a treasure land of Feng Shui.
"This old man has been diligent all his life and has never had any quarrels or conflicts with others in his life. He does not steal or rob his life. He also donates the few hundred yuan he has left to Murakami for construction funds. Such a good person will surely reach the top after he meets his eyes and enjoy endless wealth and glory. Even if he is a human being in the next life, he will be able to have a lot of children and grandchildren and be rich and noble..." After seeing the grave, Mr. Liu said these words shamelessly with the tea made from peony.
Wang Jianjun did not say a word or interrupted.
Liu Hengzi, who was sitting next to him, felt less and less uncomfortable when he listened. He secretly looked at himself in his heart. I couldn't help feeling cold on my spine. Could it be that I have done too many bad things in my life and will go to hell and put on a pan of oil when I die? Even if you are reincarnated, you are still a poor person?
Wang Jianjun has always been careful. He observed Liu Hengzi's expression while listening to Mr. Liu's bang. I thought to myself that it is not easy to compromise him because of his face, so I happened to ask this person named Liu to teach him a class. It depends on whether he will change his behavior in the future.
When the deaf woman was about to die, Wang Jianjun gave Mr. Liu one hundred yuan as he had promised.Not long after he was sent away, the deaf woman left and closed her eye sockets. She walked peacefully, without a trace of sorrow or pain on her face.
There are hot days, and the "people" cannot be put for too long.
A few years ago, the deaf woman made a coffin for herself, and seven sets of old clothes inside and outside were also prepared in the past few years. Therefore, on the fourth day after she fell down. Seeing that the tomb had been wrapped, Wang Jianjun discussed with Liu Hengzi to send her to the grave.
The construction work was as usual in those days. The villagers' farm work is the same. Because Wang Jianjun made proper arrangements, neither side was delayed. He also called the blower (playing and singing), and asked Liu Hengzi, who was wearing mourning clothes, to hold the tablet, and let Peony wear the filial son basin, and send the old woman to the grave with a glorious charm.
Because without seeking the old woman's money, Liu Hengzi and Mudan obediently obeyed Wang Jianjun's arrangements and sent the old woman to the end. Therefore, Wang Jianjun did not pursue the fault of not raising the deaf mother in the name of the village chief, but based on the good performance of the funeral, his views on the couple changed.
"As for people, this will happen sooner or later." Although Liu Hengzi had heard this more than a hundred times before, when Wang Jianjun told him solemnly, he felt different.
At noon that day after burying the deaf woman, under Wang Jianjun's arrangement, Liu Hengzi called the person who had been collecting food at Xifeng's house last time and weighed all her surplus grains for many years and took them away. The money sold is handed over to Murakami and is counted as public funds.
"You still keep it. Do you have to buy incense for the elderly to visit the grave during some festivals?" Wang Jianjun didn't want her hard money.
"I will pay the incense money for visiting the graves. You will still collect the money for the village. There are more places to use money in the village." Liu Hengzi also had his own considerations when he said this.
Wang Jianjun did not refuse and recorded the personal donation in the public account.
people are gone, and there is no need to keep the bedding and old clothes on the kang.
It was past seven o'clock that day, and it was getting dark. Mudan had carefully cleaned the house, arranged the tables, chairs, and benches neatly, wiped the pots and pans and put them in the cabinet.
After she returned, Liu Hengzi tied the broken quilts, rotten mattresses and clothes into bundles. After locking the door, he carried the relics to the grave and knelt in front of the grave and slowly burned them.
The man from Goufang came back from work and passed by the deaf mother's door. He saw that the door was locked. But there was thick smoke rising in the woods behind the house, and the fire flashed faintly. When I got closer, I realized it was Liu Hengzi.
He silently, facing the road in front of the door, kneeling on the mud in front of the grave. Tears were everywhere in his eyes, and fire was soaring into the sky.
He didn't move, and everyone said nothing and walked away quietly.
Liu Hengzi was burning and recalling his past. His mother once said that he grew up eating his godmother's breasts. When he was seven or eight years old, his godmother weaned him after she had no milk.
After returning to his home, he always wanted to run to his godmother's house.
"Don't go to her house in the future." That's what his mother said at the time.
"But, I ate her breasts." He couldn't figure it out to argue with his mother.
"Our family gave her money, and they didn't owe each other." His mother also said, "This woman harms her husband, and even the baby is harming her."
Later, when he secretly ran to see his godmother, he told her this.
"Your mom, your mom is right. My baby, my baby should not come in the future." In order to cut off the relationship, my godmother can only lie.
