Chapter 3 Sister Liu's Heard 2

"I shouldn't have been so bad, and I don't care more."

The babysitter sighed and said to my dad: "The babysitter in the village next door is my sister (sister means, the dialect here likes to refer to sisters as sisters). Then she gave me some things, which are not much like Guifang Ha (the meaning is similar in dialect)...."

There are many legends of ghosts in the countryside, but because the idea of ​​breaking the four old is deeply rooted in the thoughts of rural people, only a few people know about this matter.

It was because her sister married to the next village and became a child-child. Once when she returned to her parents' home during the Chinese New Year, the two sisters talked about each other frequently, and Mrs. Liu learned about this.

But even though she knew, she didn't mention it to the outside world, and she was afraid of causing trouble.

Before, Mrs. Liu was so hesitant, not to wait for my parents to give her gifts and money. The rural people in that era were simple and knew that some things could help others, and they were always happy.

But if there was a little news about this incident, not only would she suffer, but she would not have been able to ensure that her sister who lived in the next village would be criticized and criticized. Then she was embarrassed after thinking about it.

But when she saw my mother, who was lying on the bed, who was weaker than the average woman who had given birth, and my father, who treated her as a life-saving straw, she still couldn't bear it.

"Do you still remember the incident in the village next door a few years ago?" Mrs. Liu asked my parents mysteriously.

Seeing that I was asleep, my dad stopped shaking the cradle, so he simply stood up and walked to the bed to sit down, and asked Mrs. Liu with uncertainty: "What are you doing with Lao Zhengtou's family?"

Sister Liu nodded, and my parents looked at each other, and their hearts were filled with a sudden "shock".

My mother is more flexible than my father. She not only asked a little confused, but also asked, "Isn't Lao Zheng's family harmed by a bandit? What's the point? Is it related to my family?"

Actually, my parents knew about this, or the nearby villages knew about it, because it was indeed a sensation at that time.

Lao Zheng's family is a well-known wealthy family in our area, and they are almost catching up with the landlords.

Lao Zheng fought a war when he was young. He had a son who also married a wife. This happened on the day his grandson was born.

The rumors were that day, Lao Zheng's family was destroyed by bandits, and even the newborn baby was not spared. This is the version that ordinary farmers heard, and Mrs. Liu's sister was the childbirth woman in charge of delivering the baby in the incident.

But when Mrs. Liu asked this, my parents knew that things were probably not as simple as the version they heard. Sure enough, Mrs. Liu's words made my parents take a breath and subvert their views.

Mrs. Liu "spit" and then said, "Those officials are just going to fool the people."

My parents suddenly became "indignant" when they saw Mrs. Liu. Not only was they speechless, how could this person change his face?

But no matter what my parents think, she told my parents everything she knew: "Old Zheng's grandson was born on the day she was born. She turned around and talked to me, right? (What does it mean in dialect?) The bandits killed people, it was a debt collector who came to collect debts. Oh, don't interrupt me, wait for me to finish!"

It turns out that the time when Lao Zheng's bride (the daughter-in-law said in dialect) was about to give birth (the dialect, the meaning of that period), I often dreamed of a child getting in and out of his stomach.

Old Zheng's bride did not dare to tell the matter to the public, so she had to tell her husband.

After having this dream once or twice, the couple only thought it was a coincidence that they had thought about it day and night, but their wife had dreamed for more than two months, and they were still the same dream. This made Lao Zheng's son feel sad. Don't they say that big-bellied women are the easiest to have nightmares, and they didn't see them having dreams for two months in a row!

Lao Zheng’s son wondered if his wife had been entangled with something?

I heard that pregnant women are prone to getting dirty! When they think of this, Old Zheng's son was anxious. He thought that his father was knowledgeable and could he have a way to protect himself?

So one night, after dinner, he secretly told Lao Zheng about this while Lao Zheng was enjoying the cool air in the yard.

But when Lao Zheng heard this, he was so angry that he was so angry that he glared at him and scolded his son.

"How can there be any monsters? If you want to die, don't hold my grandson!" Although Lao Zheng is older, he is very prestigious in front of his younger generations.

His son is in his thirties. When Lao Zheng's hair is angry, he also shrinks timidly, like a child who has caused trouble and returned home. He lowers his head and lets Lao Zheng scold him in the headache.

Lao Zheng was born in a military service, went to the battlefield, and was educated in private. He didn't believe in ghosts, gods and so on.

Old Zheng threw the palm fan into the ground and returned to the room. Old Zheng's son sighed and had to go back to his room with dejected expression.

This matter has come to this point, and Lao Zheng's son and bride dare not mention a word, and the days have passed day by day.

Until a month and a half later, a person came to Lao Zheng's house. The man heard that Lao Zheng was injured during the war in his early years and was rescued by this man.

The man passed by here and came to visit Lao Zheng.

The savior came to visit him, so Lao Zheng was naturally regarded as a distinguished guest on the seat. Not only that, Lao Zheng also introduced his son and bride.

At first, there was nothing, just a few ordinary greetings, but when Lao Zheng started to introduce his bride, the man said "huh", and then he pretended that nothing had happened before, and continued to chat with Lao Zheng's family.

Finally, he lived at Lao Zhengtou's house. It's strange that the man lived at Lao Zhengtou's house for about a week. During this period, Lao Zhengtou's bride never had that dream again.

But people always have to leave one day. On the night when the man left Lao Zheng's house, Lao Zheng's bride suffered unbearable abdominal pain and found a babysitter, saying that she was going to give birth.

This made Lao Zheng and his son very happy. Lao Zheng was experienced and ordered his son to bring a basin of hot water and a pair of scissors early on, and sent him to send him in.

Then the two of them waited outside the house for news.

After waiting for a long time, I couldn't hear the sound of the baby crying in the room.

Just as Lao Zheng was about to ask loudly, the baby-breasted woman ran out of the house with blood in her hands. When she saw Lao Zheng and his son, she knelt on the ground and cried, while crying and muttering: "It's easy to walk, be reincarnated as a dragon..."

This is an old custom in Jiangxi. If a childbirth has something wrong with her childbirth during delivery, or the baby dies shortly after she is born, the childbirth will run outside the house and cry while praying that the baby who died will be born in a good birth.

Although this old custom was also broken in those years as a monster and a monster, people's hearts are always made of meat. Whose baby died before it was not sad?

So this old custom was magically preserved since people turned a blind eye to each other in those years.

But when Lao Zheng and his son saw the birth mother crying and bowing, they immediately understood what it meant. The two rushed into the room quickly, and then saw a baby's body wrapped in red cloth and a bride sleeping in the bed. They couldn't help but burst into tears.

Originally, things came here, but it could only be regarded as a sad and regretful story.

But often things develop unpredictably.

On the night when Lao Zheng was about to punch a small coffin for his grandson, about the third day, Lao Zheng and his family were in the front yard, and they all heard a baby laugh at each other. This made Lao Zheng's bride suddenly look for laughter everywhere in the front yard like crazy, and kept muttering: "My child...mother is here..." Lao Zheng and his son were also standing on their hair, standing in the front yard like a wooden chicken, and once suspected that something had happened to his ears. Where did the baby laughter come from?

Just in the trance of Old Zheng, the laughter disappeared, as if it had never been before.

The bride of Lao Zheng's head was crazy and accidentally hit the pillar of the canopy and fainted.

Lao Zheng's son carried his wife into the house. Lao Zheng also put down his work and followed him into the house.

The next morning, the people in the village got up very early as usual, and the mother-in-law was concerned about Lao Zheng's family, thinking about seeing what could be helped.

But when she came to Lao Zhengtou's house, she found that the door was closed. She pushed the door open and the house was quiet, and a trace of blood came from the air.

The siblings shouted a few times, but no one agreed, which made the siblings feel a little bad.

It was originally midsummer morning and there was some heat, but after the baby entered Lao Zheng's house, he clearly felt a hint of chill, and the hair on his hands was stimulated to stand up.

The baby-bride boldly went to knock on the door of the bride who was bride who was in Lao Zheng's head. Just like that, the door opened with a squeak, and the door was not closed at all!
