Chapter 19 Sadness

"Cow eggs, did the hen lay eggs today?"

Niudanniang was carrying a hoe and asked this question as soon as she entered the yard, but she saw that the door was open and the lantern in the house was not on.

Niudanniang went to see the hen, fed a handful of vegetable leaves, and was about to cook in the kitchen. She yelled for Niudan to cook, but Niudan didn't respond, and Niudanniang suddenly became angry.

"Hey, Niudan, you little bastard, you pretend to be deaf and dumb even if you are told to burn a pot."

Niudan Niang lit up the lantern, went to the bedroom, and lifted the quilt of Niudan on the kang, and saw the child trembling and shaking.

"Isn't it a fever?" Niu Danniang touched Niu Dan's forehead, and the temperature was normal, she pulled Niu Dan out of the bed twice, "Bake the pot for my mother, I was so tired that I didn't see your mother, You should have fallen asleep."

Niudan was pulled by Niudan's ears and came to the kitchen to cook a pot. Not long after, Niudan's father, Niudan's big brother and second brother came back from outside.

With a sound of "bang dong", I heard Niudan daddy and the others put down their hoes and dustpans, and ran out again in a hurry. Niudan Niang picked up bitter hemp vegetables and hurriedly shouted, "It's almost time to eat, you one or two If you run outside, you won’t be able to stay at home.”

Brother Niudan replied, "No, mother, Shuisheng is missing. Shuisheng's father searched all over the village in a hurry, but he couldn't find it. The captain told us to help find it. You said that Shuisheng, a five-year-old baby, can Where are you going?"

"Oh, this is a crime. Could it be that the water rolled into the weir pond and no one saw it?" Niudanniang sighed and shook her head, and told the second brother Niudan, "Go to the deeper weir ponds in the village to see. .”

"Wait." Niu Danniang hurriedly took out two lanterns from the house, and handed them to her two sons, "Give one to your father, he is old and blind, don't miss someone, he just fell."

The big brother Niudan took the lantern, and the second brother Niudan looked at the smoking kitchen, smashed his mouth and said, "Mom, save some noodles for me at night, I didn't have enough at noon, and all the people working in the afternoon are empty." of."

"Understood, go find someone." Niudanniang glared at him, then returned to the kitchen worriedly, lifted the lid of the pot, boiled the water, scooped it into several small pots, and scooped the water under it again.

"Niudan, did you see Shuisheng while grazing cattle today?"

"That child is obedient, so he probably won't run around, maybe something happened."

Niu Danniang asked Niu Dan unintentionally, but saw Niu Dan sitting in front of the stove, shaking like a sieve.

"What about you?"

"Why are you shaking?"

"Nothing."

Niu Danniang glared at Niu Dan, but she didn't see anything unusual about Niu Dan. She took out a handful of noodles from the vat and began to clean the worms that had grown in the noodles.

The noodles are only pressed once a year, and every year, several catties of noodles are pressed, and they are reluctant to eat them. If they are not eaten at the end of the year, they will go bad.

Niudan Niang was shaking the worms when she heard Niudan stand up and said suddenly: "Mother, I saw Shuisheng went to Goudaner's house this afternoon, do you think the wolf from Goudaner's family ate Shuisheng?" .”

"You also know that it's a wolf. It can eat people. Goudan is still kept at home. Now Shuisheng can't find anyone. Isn't it just eaten by that wolf?"

"You can't talk nonsense." Niudanniang gave Niudan a look, "You said Shuisheng went to Goudan'er's house?"

Niudan nodded and said, "We will graze cattle together in the afternoon, and then take the other way back, passing by Goudan'er's house, but I have already returned home. I don't know if Shuisheng has returned from Goudaner's house."

"Go and see if your brother and the others have found anyone. If not, tell him. Go to Goudan'er's house to have a look. If the wolf really ate people, that's okay."

Niudan nodded sharply, rushed out and ran all the way, and found the elder brother and the second elder brother, as well as a group of adults from the village, carrying lanterns and bamboo poles to search in the weir pond and river in the village.

There are a lot of aquatic plants in the weir ponds, and sometimes children can’t get out if they roll in without paying attention. At least a few children have drowned in these weir ponds. In this cold winter weather, soaking in the water overnight, waiting The next day, the body was so swollen that it couldn't be seen clearly, so the people in the village searched for someone overnight, fearing that something might happen.

But fortunately, after fishing for a long time, no one was caught in the weir pond, at least there is still a glimmer of hope.

Niudan looked at Shuisheng's father and mother standing on the edge of the Yantang, his heart trembled in fright, and he quietly came to the elder brother's side.

"Brother, I saw Shuisheng going today."

"What? You saw Shuisheng." Big brother Niudan was pleasantly surprised, and shouted at Shuisheng's father who was rummaging in the weir pond, "Little Uncle Wang, Niudan saw Shuisheng today."

Shui Sheng's father and Da Niu's father are a family, an old Wang and a little Wang, and now the Wang family is out looking for someone.

Shuisheng's father hurried over, grabbed Niudan's arm tightly and said, "Did you see Shuisheng? Where is he?"

"Me." Niu Dan trembled with fright when he saw the scarlet eyes of Shui Sheng's father and saw the scene in the forest.

Shui Shengniang walked over, her eyes were red, and she yelled at Shui Sheng's father.

"Keep your voice down, you're scaring the kid."

"Shuisheng will never run around, Niudan, you tell auntie, when you come back from herding cattle, where did you see him go?"

Niudan said nervously: "I... I heard that he wanted to eat pork from Goudaner's house, and then I went home. I don't know if he went to Goudaner's house."

"Dog?"

"Could it be that the wolf from Goudaner's family ate Shuisheng?"

"is it possible?"

Several people in the village whispered.

Liu, a bachelor in the village, sneered and said, "Hmph, why is it impossible? If a dog dares to let that wolf bite his second mother into a cripple, what else can't be done!"

Tang Feng, the captain of the production team, shouted: "Stop arguing, go to Goudan's house to have a look, all of this hasn't been investigated yet, don't slander other people's children."

"Hmph, what Captain Tang said is that it's not your son who died, so of course you're not in a hurry." Da Liu is a shit stirrer. Can't wait to turn the world upside down.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shui Sheng's father threw his fist at Da Liu with a vicious look, no one dared to approach him.

"My son is alive and well, so please stop talking nonsense to me."

Da Liu was punched so hard that his nosebleeds spurted out, and he didn't dare to speak anymore.

The kind-hearted woman who came to help find someone said: "Yes, this Shuisheng must be auspicious, and he will be fine."

A group of people hurried to Goudan'er's house, walked across the river, and walked towards the yard.

The gray wolf howled vigilantly, and saw that Da Liu picked up a big stone and threw it at the gray wolf.

"I smashed you to death, you wild thing that eats people and doesn't spit out bones."

The gray wolf was naturally not hit, but Lin Shu was afraid that the gray wolf would bite someone, so he usually tied the gray wolf. At this moment, the hemp rope was tied around the gray wolf's neck, and he couldn't break free at all. With a stick, he hit Gray Wolf fiercely, directly bending Gray Wolf's leg.

"Ow."

Gray Wolf stared at Da Liu fiercely, and jumped up and down crazily, but was bound by the hemp rope again.

In the house, Lin Shu and Hei Wa went to bed early, and when they heard wolves howling, they thought it was a thief coming, so they hurriedly picked up a stick to open the door, but saw many people standing in the courtyard, all carrying lanterns .

"Uncle Tang, why are you so many coming to my house?"

Captain Tang's complexion was also not very good. Just as he was about to ask Lin Shu, he saw Lin Shu walking quickly towards the hut.

The tethered gray wolf was lying on the ground, trying to stand up, but knelt down on the ground with unsteady legs. In the light projected by the lantern, traces of blood could be vaguely seen spilling from the gray wolf's legs.

Seeing the appearance of the gray wolf, Lin Shu suddenly looked at Da Liu who was holding a stick. Da Liu had a sinister smile in his eyes, and cursed in a low voice that he wanted to eat the meat of the gray wolf.

"Goudaner, we came to you to ask about Shuisheng." Captain Tang said.

Lin Shu didn't respond, but stared at Da Liu coldly.Hei Wa, who came out of the house behind him, suddenly saw the injured gray wolf and shouted anxiously.

"Grey gray."

Heiwa's scarlet eyes suddenly stared at Da Liu who was holding the stick, and nimbly jumped up, hugging Da Liu's arm and biting Da Liu's hand violently.

Da Liu screamed, the stick in his hand fell off, and he wanted to grab Hei Wa away in pain, but Hei Wa was unmoved by him and bit off one of Da Liu's fingers forcefully.

The people around were silent, this young child was as fierce as a wild wolf, with a pair of man-eating fangs, he actually bit off the bones of the man, and suddenly a chilling air penetrated forehead.

Hei Wa let go of Da Liu, jumped to the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, and spat out a bloody finger on the ground, splashing dust.

"what."

In an instant, Da Liu's hoarse scream sounded behind him.

Hei Wa didn't care about these people, but hugged Gray Wolf distressedly.

Lin Shu took a deep breath and checked Gray Wolf's wound. The big Liu actually broke Gray Wolf's leg bone.

Da Liu was mad with pain and ran to Captain Tang.

"Captain Tang, look at Goudan'er's house, what kind of monsters and ghosts are there? This is not a child, this is a devil. He even bit off my hand. I want him to pay me back. My hand hurts so much. My mother and father."

Captain Tang glared at Big Liu, ignored him, and came to Goudaner instead.

"God, we're here to find you..." Captain Tang continued.

Lin Shu didn't look up, and said in a childish voice, "Uncle Tang, are you here to find someone?"

"Do you know where Shuisheng is?" Captain Tang said in surprise.

"It must have been eaten by this wild wolf." Da Liu interjected again, "Anyway, there is less meat this year, so it's better to kill this wolf and eat it as dog meat."

Lin Shu squinted at Da Liu, and immediately let go of Gray Wolf's rope. Amidst the exclamation of everyone, Gray Wolf jumped up and rushed towards Da Liu. In an instant, only a sharp scream was heard Sound, see the picture of blood spatter.

Some people couldn't stand the horrible scene, picked up sticks and beat Gray Wolf, Lin Shu suddenly said, "Do you still want to find someone?"

The man let go, unable to bear to look any further.

When everything calmed down, Gray Wolf limped over. Lin Shu took out a clean handkerchief, wiped Gray Wolf's mouth gently, then looked at Shui Sheng's father, and walked over.

"When I came back today, I heard Caifeng say that Shuisheng was here, and he came to my house to find someone this evening. Didn't Uncle Wang think it was my wolf that ate Shuisheng?" Captain Tang said in a childish voice, "Uncle Tang, you are an outsider, please judge me. I have no relationship with Shuisheng. What did I do to make my wolf eat Shuisheng? If you don't believe me, you can look for it at my house. It’s really that the little wolf is naughty and eats people, so I can always find it, I cook for my younger siblings as soon as I get home, but I don’t have time to hide it.”

This kid is horrible.

Everyone looked at Goudaner, a seven-year-old child with such calm eyes.

Shui Sheng's father roared: "Bite my child to death, I will kill your wolf."

Captain Tang restrained Shuisheng's father, and asked Lin Shu, "God, where did you say Shuisheng went? Did Shuisheng come to you after shedding cattle?"

"Who said that?"

"Cow eggs."

Lin Shu looked at Niudan in the crowd, Niudan suddenly raised his head, and stared straight at Lin Shu with a pair of big eyes.

Lin Shu suddenly remembered that when Caifeng came back, he mentioned that Shuisheng asked him about where the wild boars came from. The child could not have heard that wild boars can be caught in the back mountain, so he ran to the back mountain alone.

"I think Shuisheng may have gone to the back mountain." Lin Shudao.

Shuisheng's father said: "Impossible, Shuisheng is very obedient, we don't allow him to go to the back mountain, he will never go to the back mountain alone."

"Who said it was a person?" Lin Shu sneered.

Everyone was puzzled, Lin Shu suddenly walked towards Niudan, pulled a small spider from Niudan's hair, and threw it on the ground.

"This is a poisonous spider. I've only seen it in deep mountains and old forests. You guys have traveled so far while herding cattle today."

Niudan panicked suddenly. Seeing Lin Shu stepping on the spider to death, his heart felt like being stepped on. When everyone looked over, he hesitated and said, "I went to the back mountain with Shuisheng to graze cattle." .”

Brother Niudan slapped him, and said worriedly: "You guys are free to go to the back mountain to herd some cows. There is still some straw on the slope behind your Uncle Wang's private plot. Don't run around in the future."

Niudan nodded, "I know, I won't dare next time."

"Did that kid Shuisheng really go to Houshan?" One person speculated, "Shuisheng is the most greedy. Maybe he heard that Houshan can catch wild boars, so he went to Houshan himself."

One person comforted: "Goudaner can come back even if he is dragged away by wolves. Shuisheng should be fine."

Captain Tang anxiously said: "Let's all go to the back mountain to find someone."

But some held back.

"It's late at night, I don't know what's there in the back mountain, whoever dares to run up the mountain, let's look for it tomorrow during the day."

At this time.

Seeing that everyone was leaving Goudan'er's house, Niudan suddenly pointed at Lin Shu, looked at Hei Wa who was hugging Lin Shu in fear, and said something with his neck shaking.

"If you just believe what he said, maybe the wolf ate Shuisheng, and then he threw the body to the back mountain and couldn't find it."

Goudan looked at Niudan inexplicably, why does this person have a bit of hostility towards him, this little kid has a scheming family, and he will get it when he grows up.

Brother Niudan scolded: "Niudan, don't talk nonsense."

"I didn't." Niudan roared.

Lin Shu felt that Niudan's tone was too sure, just like he was sure he couldn't find Shuisheng, so he could slander him at will.

"Uncle Tang, from this point of view, Shuisheng did come to my house for the last time, but it doesn't mean that our wolves ate Shuisheng. Caifeng can testify, and of course you won't believe Caifeng's words. In this case, find someone quickly." Bar."

"You should have searched in the village too. Uncle Wang followed me to the back mountain, and the rest of the people searched in the village."

Captain Tang said, "I'm coming too."

A few middle-aged men who were not afraid of wild animals followed Lin Shu, and the rest continued to search in the village.

Niudan followed the eldest brother and the second brother to search around, but he didn't find anyone as expected, so he urged them to go home for dinner first.

This man cannot be found.

Niudan suddenly had a thought in his heart, and he was frightened suddenly.

He didn't want to find Shuisheng. If Shuisheng found him and confessed that he took Shuisheng to the back mountain, would Shuisheng's father beat him to death?

Shuisheng's father loves Shuisheng so much, he will definitely beat him to death.

Niudan suddenly fell into fear, and even the bitter vegetable noodles with eggs, which he was most looking forward to eating on weekdays, tasted like chewing wax.

"Niudan, eat quickly, the noodles are all mushy." Big brother Niudan tapped his chopsticks on the bowl of Niudan, then turned to talk to second brother Niudan about the work points he earned in the field today.

All night, Niudan had nightmares.

I dreamed that Shuisheng was wearing tattered clothes, his whole face was covered with grooves licked by leopards, he couldn't see a person at all, but he believed that person was Shuisheng in his heart.

Shuisheng followed behind a tall man, as if he had driven the night road for a long time, so long that Shuisheng's shoes were worn out, and his feet were covered with blood-stained black mud.

When they reached the gate of their yard, his dog barked crazily. Niudan woke up from his dream and opened the door in a daze. He saw Shuisheng standing outside the yard gate and smiling at him. The man next to him Falling into darkness, only seeing figures, not faces.

Niudan didn't know if it was a dream or it was real, he walked to the door in a daze and asked Shuisheng.

"What are you doing at my house so late?"

Shui Sheng smiled: "Niudan, I'm leaving, I'll come and see you."

"Just go and see what I do?" Niudan was very angry, but Shuisheng still laughed.

He said: "Niudan, look at my feet, they were all bitten by leopards. I have no shoes to wear, and there are no new shoes at home. Can you give me a new pair of shoes?"

Niudan seemed to think of something, and his whole body fell into panic, cold sweat broke out suddenly, and he was too frightened to make a sound.

He went to look at the figure next to him, but he couldn't see clearly, he just felt that his whole body was pierced to the bone, and he quickly looked at Shuisheng.

Shuisheng still smiled: "Niudan, I still have a long way to go. Uncle is going to take me away. Remember to give me a pair of shoes."

"Why should I give you shoes to wear?" Niudan suddenly snorted coldly.

"Because you owe me." Shui Sheng smiled.

"I'll get it for you." Niudan ran around the house suddenly, rummaging through boxes and chests looking for shoes, but couldn't find them at all. When he finally found the shoes and hugged them, he heard his mother's roar reaching his eardrums .

"You still sleep when the sun is drying your butt."

"Shoes." Niu Dan woke up suddenly, only to realize that he was holding his mother's hand.

Niu Danniang threw a shoehorn at Niu Dan's head and shouted: "Shoes are your head, I made new shoes for your elder brother, second brother and your father, you wear your second brother's pair, get up and eat!"

Niudan suddenly became angry for some reason, and dared to talk back to his mother.

"Why can't I have new shoes, why do you make shoes for the eldest brother and the second brother every time, but not for me, am I not your own?"

Niudan Niu was dumbfounded for half a second, and then looked at Niudan with her waist in her hands.

"Hey, I gave birth to an ancestor, right? Your eldest brother and second brother need to earn work points, and those shoes wear out after a few days of wearing in the field. You lazy eater still need to wear new shoes?"

Niudan fell silent, pouted, unhappy.

Niudan Dad came in with a bowl, handed Niudan the bowl and chopsticks, and glared at Niudan Niang, "What are you talking about with your child, and you are not allowed to talk to your son like this in the future."

Niudanniang was yelled inexplicably, "What's wrong with me?"

Niudan father sighed and said: "Look at Xiao Wang's family, that aquatic creature is so cute, it disappeared in a blink of an eye, fortunately Niudan came back after herding the cattle, and did not run back to the mountain."

When Niudan heard this, she was also afraid for a while, and specifically told Niudan a few words, "From now on, the cows will be herded at the door of the house, and children should not run around, do you hear me?"

The two whispered again and left. Niudan got off the bed and held the bowl, but his scalp was numb, and his father's words kept echoing in his ears.

"It's gone in the blink of an eye."

"Shuisheng is gone."

"The dream last night..."

Niudan touched his forehead, sweating all night long, and was weakly about to have a few mouthfuls of porridge when he heard his mother say outside the yard:

"It's strange, I woke up this morning and saw that the firewood door was open, so my father, did you get up and squat in the latrine without closing the door?"

"It's not me." Daddy Niudan said.

"It's not you, there are ghosts." Niudanniang said, "I heard this dog barking non-stop last night, it must be a thief."

Niudan's father immediately told Niudan's mother: "Be careful, it will be Chinese New Year soon, and some thieves want to come to the village to play around. Remember to close the door at night."

"It's up to you to say." Niudanniang glared at Niudan's father, and saw Niudan running out in a hurry.

"Mom, where are the new shoes you made for my second brother?"

"It's in the closet." Niudanniang was stunned for a moment, then shouted again: "Oh, what do you want shoes for?"

In the blink of an eye, Niudan saw Niudan rushing out with her shoes in her arms.

When he came to Shui Sheng's house, he saw mourning banners hanging in the house, and a black lacquered coffin placed in the main room. The coffin was too big, and it was obvious that he left by accident. There was no coffin prepared, and it was an old man's coffin.

Shuisheng's body was found in a cave last night. It was said that there were only a few bones left. There was not even a piece of meat on the bones. After eating, the bones are all broken into pieces, and the slender bones of the fingers are all eaten up.

It's too awful.

The few villagers who went to the back mountain to find someone last night did not dare to recall this scene.

Shuisheng's father came back with Shuisheng's bones in his hands, Shuisheng's mother cried madly, and fainted, and did not wake up for a while.

Shuisheng's father cleaned Shuisheng's body and washed the bones with clean water. Brother Shuisheng went to the village to find a mortician. The old man, the mortician, lit a kerosene lamp and pinched Shuisheng's body under the lamp.

When this person comes here, although he can't take anything with him, he still has to leave with dignity.

In the old man's words, if you don't have a whole body, you can't be reborn.

The old mortician sewed up the body, Shuisheng's second brother went door-to-door to borrow new cloth, and Shuisheng's second sister-in-law sewed a shroud for Shuisheng overnight.

Putting on the shroud, Shuisheng can walk away completely.

It's just these shoes. I won't be able to find new shoes for a while. When the second sister-in-law of Shuisheng was at a loss, Niudan's new shoes arrived. , and ran out.

Shuisheng's second sister-in-law came back with the shoes, and Shuisheng's second brother said, "Where did you get these shoes?"

"It's from the cow egg."

"This kid is still good, thanks to Niudan."

"I know, let me put my brother's shoes on first."

In the past few days, the village has been immersed in the depressing death of aquatic life. The death of a child will always be infinitely regrettable. After the village chief learned about it, he held several meetings and forbade children from going to the back mountain. Even adults were not allowed to go to the back mountain alone. .
