Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

Chapter 8 Mother's Death 2

The sound of clothes being torn apart was like a sharp alarm, piercing the air and reaching Yu Congcong's ears. She hugged the stone tightly, staggered, and desperately ran towards Huang Mazi. Yunniang's face was full of despair, and her eyes were filled with desperate begging, refusing Yu Congcong to get close.

Yu Congcong had no way to refuse her mother's begging, and the only thing she could do was to run to Honghua and slap her frantically, her tears flowing like a flood, and she cried until she almost died.

Over there, the movement suddenly stopped, and Huang Mazi was seen lying on the ground in agony, his body twisted into a weird shrimp shape.

Yunniang was furious, and she swung a big stone, exerting all her strength, and tried to smash it on Huang Mazi's head. However, at this critical moment, the fourth uncle came and kicked the big stone in Yunniang's hand accurately. Yunniang knew that she could not kill Huang Mazi, so she resolutely crashed into a big tree.

This sudden scene frightened Yu Congcong so much that she lost her voice instantly. Da Zhuang rushed over, only to see Yunniang lying on the ground with a shocking hole on her forehead, blood oozing out, and her clothes torn.

Seeing this, Da Zhuang was furious and stood up and attacked Fourth Uncle like a tiger. At first, Fourth Uncle was a little polite. But seeing that Da Zhuang's attack was getting more and more fierce, he pulled out his gun and shot Da Zhuang in the leg without hesitation.

At this time, Heizi hurried over, and most people in the village also arrived one after another. Seeing that the situation was not good, Dazhuang quickly took off his coat and gently put it on Yunniang. Then, he picked her up and resolutely turned away, without even paying attention to Yu Congcong beside him. Uncle Su Jing, who came after Heizi, walked up to Yu Congcong and picked her up. During the whole process, Yu Congcong did not react at all. The aunts in the village helped Honghua to He Miao's back. Everyone walked back, and drops of blood could be seen on the grass and leaves on the side of the path.

Da Zhuang held Yun Niang, ignoring the gunshot wound on his leg, and ran to Doctor Liu's house at a high speed. He said, "Yun Niang, hold on, we'll be at Doctor Liu's house soon." Yun Niang replied weakly and desperately, "Da Zhuang, no need, I don't want to live anymore, I can't face Cong Cong's father if I live. My persistence is meaningless." Da Zhuang said angrily and anxiously, "Then don't go to him, can't you live a good life with me?" Yun Niang said sadly and guiltily, "You are so good, I don't deserve you. You should learn skills from Uncle Nan, get out of here, and find a better girl to live with." Cough, cough, Yun Niang coughed violently, coughing up blood clots. Da Zhuang was anxious and ran back to the doctor's house at a faster speed. Aunt Su held me and followed closely. When we arrived at Doctor Liu's house, grandma was already beside my mother, holding my mother's hand with tears, choking and saying, "Okay, okay!" Yun Niang's fingers slowly loosened, as if the power of life was also fading away bit by bit. His eyes were cast towards Cong Cong. Her mouth opened slightly, as if she had a thousand words to say but was powerless to speak them out, and she could only close her eyes helplessly with sorrow. Yu Congcong stared at Yunniang with empty eyes, as if she had lost all focus.

Doctor Liu found that Dazhuang's body seemed to have been drained of its soul. He collapsed to the ground, his hands drooping limply, as if he had lost all his strength. The wound on his leg was bleeding, and the bones were dislocated. Seeing this, Doctor Liu hurriedly asked the villagers to lift Dazhuang to the bed. He turned and went into the next room, picked up a jar of wine, turned the bowl upside down and poured the wine into it and lit it. Doctor Liu held a pair of scissors, placed them on the fire to bake for a while, and then decisively cut Dazhuang's pants from the knees. After the pants were removed, we could clearly see that Dazhuang's legs were completely blue and purple. Doctor Liu then poured the wine on Dazhuang's legs, and then gently wiped them with cotton cloth. His movements were steady and skillful, as if he was treating a precious work of art.

It was clearly visible that the bone was dislocated and had pierced the skin, with a sharp point. Doctor Liu took a piece of wood and asked Da Zhuang to bite it, and told him that there was no anesthetic and he needed to hold on. Then he took out a scalpel from the medical box, burned it over the fire, and gently cut a small hole. Then he used pliers to clamp out the bullets in the bone gap one by one, and took out the broken bones one by one. Then, he applied powder to the wound to stop the bleeding. At this time, Da Zhuang seemed to have no feeling of the pain of the wound, and his expression was extremely calm. Doctor Liu gently explored up and down with both hands, and in a flash, he reset the leg, and then bandaged it with cotton cloth. He quickly found a suitable wooden strip, nimbly placed it on both sides of the leg, and fixed it firmly with lightning speed.

During the whole process of Dr. Liu treating the wound, Da Zhuang did not react at all. He seemed to feel no pain and his expression was dull. Outside the house, the strong wind carried sand and dust, ruthlessly hitting the windows, making bursts of sobs, as if mourning for this sad scene.

Grandma came out of her grief a little bit, and when she saw the original owner, she hugged him and burst into tears. When she saw Dazhuang's condition, she burst into tears again. The original owner still didn't react at all, his eyes were empty and lifeless, without any focus.

Fu Gang walked up to Da Zhuang and said, "Da Zhuang, you have to get better soon. You still have your mother and Cong Cong." His eyes were full of pity and worry, and he complained that the world was so unfair.

After hearing Fu Fugang's words, Da Zhuang's originally empty eyes gradually became focused. His gaze slowly fell on his grandmother and Cong Cong. Unconsciously, tears began to roll around in his eyes and slide down his cheeks. The crying became louder and louder. Da Zhuang burst into tears like a child. The crying was like a flood that broke through the dam, as if to release all the depression and endless pain that had accumulated in his heart for a long time.

The original owner's memory became dark and empty here, as if it was a blank. However, there were also some scenes flashing, such as eating with grandma, talking with grandma, and looking at her adoptive father. Every time the adoptive father saw her, his expression was full of sadness. She seemed to have forgotten all the memories related to her mother. In her memory, it was her grandmother who mentioned her mother, but she had no reaction to it and had no memories of her mother at all. It seemed that because of the blow, her memory stayed here, and all the previous memories about her mother were forgotten.

Yu Congcong was strongly stimulated by the original owner's memories, which made it difficult for her brain to bear such a heavy burden, and she eventually fell into an unfathomable coma.

"Tiezhu, you go back first." Grandma said softly.

"Grandma Xiaocao, I want to protect Congcong. Congcong must be scared. If I accompany her and chat with her, she won't be scared anymore." Tiezhu responded confidently.

"Okay! You stay here and grandma will go to help deal with Honghua's funeral." Grandma replied shamelessly.

"Well, Grandma Xiaocao, you go ahead. I won't leave the room." Tiezhu promised.

Grandma looked at Yu Congcong on the bed and said, "Oh," then turned and left.

"Xiaocao, what happened to Congcong?" Third Grandma asked with concern.

"It's okay. Doctor Liu said that he'll be fine once he wakes up." Grandma replied, and then asked, "How is the treatment here?"

"That Huang Mazi is such a bad person. She just wanted to give Honghua a tattered straw mat, wrap her up, and then dig a hole to bury her. It was my old man who took out his coffin. The clan leader asked Fourth Uncle to pay for it." Third Grandma said angrily.

"Oh" grandma shook her head and sighed!

"Congcong, are you missing your mother? Don't be afraid, Aunt Yun is gone, but I am still with you. I will always be with you no matter what you do in the future. I haven't seen my mother yet. Grandpa said that my mother is very gentle and loves me very much. Later, my father also went to find my mother. They will come to visit me when they are free at night. They are the two brightest little stars in the sky. But sometimes they are too busy and have no time to see me, but I know that they must always be thinking about me. Aunt Yun must be in heaven too. Grandpa said that all the good people who have passed away have gone to heaven. Only the bad people are being punished in hell...

Yu Congcong felt like there was a mosquito buzzing in her ear, humming non-stop. It was very annoying. Yu Congcong slowly opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling with a dull look. She still couldn't recover from the shock to her brain.

The darkness faded and dawn arrived. The villagers began a new busy day. The foster father took a hoe and walked towards the fields. Today, the rice in many villagers' fields was ripe. The foster father wanted to discuss with the tribe leader whether to harvest rice together this year.

Yu Congcong was eating while thinking about how to avenge the original owner's mother. Suddenly, she heard Tiezhu's voice: "Congcong, are you home?" This sudden shout really scared Yu Chongchong. She quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and responded: "I'm here."

"I'm telling you in secret. Last night, all the tribe members agreed to join Uncle Dazhuang's plan. They were all shocked by Honghua's death yesterday. Grandpa also said that we can't go on like this. If we continue like this, there will be no hope for the future."

Yu Congcong: "Really? That's great. We are one step closer to our goal, but I can't just sit there doing nothing. My mother died because no one notified her that Huang Mazi had returned to the village. So where did Huang Mazi go?"

Tiezhu: "Huang Mazi was driven out of the village last night."

Yu Congcong: "Has Aunt Honghua been buried yet?"

Tiezhu: "Yes, he was buried last night."

Yu Congcong: "Are you busy today?"

Tiezhu: "I'm not busy today. Grandpa and his friends are going to inspect the rice fields to see when to start harvesting rice."

Yu Congcong: "Tiezhu, are you familiar with the children in the village?"

Tiezhu said proudly: "Yes, I am their leader and they all listen to me."

Yu Congcong: "Then can you contact them and ask them to pay attention to the movements of Fourth Uncle and the others every day? And then report to me."

Tiezhu: "Congcong, what are you doing?"
