At the same time, my mother also came back from farming: "Shi Bai, why are you standing at the door alone?"
"Mom, I am not alone, I have two strong brothers." Although I am only three years old, I am precocious and can speak clearly.
But my mother was horrified when she heard what I said. She immediately hugged me into the house: "Shi Bai, what are you talking nonsense about? How could you see Er Zhuang."
No, the two heroes are obviously there...
As a result, I turned around and realized that Er Zhuang, who had been standing outside the door before, had left at some point.
But I still have the candy he gave me in my hand.
My mother also saw the candy in my hand and was stunned immediately.
At this time, my grandfather and my father also came back. After listening to what my mother said, both of their faces turned terribly dark.
I couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa, Dad, what happened?"
I just accepted two candies and one candy, or is there anything wrong with what he gave me?
"Er Zhuang died at noon." Grandpa sighed and said, "He drowned in Xihegouzi."
After finishing speaking, before I could say anything, Grandpa said again: "You are a child who was born very weird. You are not allowed to tell anyone what happened today."
Then my dad took the candy away from my hand and threw it outside.
On this day, because of Er Zhuang's incident, the atmosphere in our family became very depressed.
The child was already very sleepy, and this happened, so my mother put me to sleep after dinner.
Originally I slept well, but I dreamed about Er Zhuang.
He looked even weaker now than when he found me, his face was deathly pale, and he was all wet, as if he had just risen from the water.
"Shi Bai, didn't you agree that you would help me?"
"Why don't you come..."
He looked so scary. I was very scared when I saw him. I instinctively raised my little hand: "Brother Erzhuang, my parents said you are dead. I can't come to you..."
"Let's go." As I said that, I waved my little hand towards Er Zhuang who was approaching me.
Who would have thought that just like that, the flesh on Er Zhuang's face would be knocked off by me.
It was like skinned pork, blood red and white and thick. It touched my whole hand directly.
It scared me so much that I burst into tears on the spot.
"Shi Bai, what's wrong with you?" Suddenly, my mother's voice came over.
Only then did I realize that the lights in the house had turned on at some point.
It turned out that my parents and grandpa rushed over after hearing my screams.
I was so frightened that I told my parents exactly what I had just dreamed about. After listening, they all turned their eyes to Grandpa.
Grandpa just said: "It's normal for children to have nightmares. Don't think about it. Just sleep with your mother tonight."
Then he took his father and left, but after they left, I heard my grandpa seeming to whisper something to his father.
With my mother by my side, I didn't have any more nightmares that night.
But early the next morning, Erzhuang's parents came to the door.
Er Zhuang's parents said that Er Zhuang also entrusted them with a dream, and asked me to either go to Xihegouzi or help Er Zhuang keep vigil for the next three days until he was buried.
Originally, our family did not want to have anything to do with Er Zhuang anymore, so how could we agree to such a rude request.
There was a quarrel between the two sides, and Erzhuang's mother went crazy. First she slapped my ears, and then kicked me away.
In the end, it was my father who took the knife and scared them to stop the fight.
However, when Er Zhuang's mother left, she did not forget to say fiercely: "Shi Bai, you little devil, wait for me, my Er Zhuang will definitely not let you go."
I had no idea what I had done wrong and was shaking with fear.
My mother hugged me tightly: "Er Zhuang's mother, don't scare us. Don't you know why Er Zhuang went to Xihegouzi?"
But Erzhuang's parents ignored their mother's words and left without looking back.
After my parents left, I asked my mother sadly: "Mom, did I do something wrong?"
But I just want someone to play with.
"No, Xiaobai, it's not your fault." My mother hugged me and comforted me softly.
Grandpa just shook his head and sighed, and said nothing more.
My father comforted my mother and me with soft words.
That night, I was afraid that I would have nightmares, and that I would be frightened by what happened during the day. My mother still held me to sleep.
I don’t know if it was because of my mother, but I didn’t have any nightmares that night.
But when I was in a daze, I felt that the white scales under my collarbone suddenly became very hot again, just like the time Er Zhuang gave me candy.
And early the next morning, a shocking news came.
Erzhuang’s mother is also dead!
It is said that she still died in the back hill of Lao Wang's house in the next village.
The second strong father runs away all year round because he has to do business, and there are always rumors in the village that the second strong mother is stealing people secretly. But the folks in the village have no proof of this, so no one dares to say anything.
However, compared to the place where she died, Erzhuang's mother's death was more shocking, because her whole body was chewed to pieces, and there were blood holes all over her body.
Her right hand was bitten to the bone, well, it was the hand that slapped my big ear.
But even so, the look on her face was very peaceful. It's like falling asleep at home.
The whole body was bitten to the point of looking like this, but there was no expression of pain on his face.
This makes people feel weird just thinking about it.
Fortunately, although there were animal bite marks on her body, it looked like she was not bitten by a snake.
Coupled with what happened to Lao Wang next door, neither Er Zhuang’s father nor anyone in the village associated this matter with our family.
Naturally, our family will not get into trouble with this problem.
Thinking that they are all villagers, their wife died first and then their son.
So in the end, my grandfather went to pay his condolences.
What I didn't expect was that my grandfather went to burn incense, but the incense wouldn't burn. When I went to burn paper, the yellow paper couldn't burn at first, but later it was finally lit by the person in front.
As a result, as soon as my grandfather took over, the strong wind blew out the paper. The brazier was pulled over by the strong wind and almost set my grandfather's clothes on fire.
This is obviously a dead man who is angry and does not receive incense.
The second strong father reacted immediately and said with red eyes: "My wife just beat Shi Bai yesterday, and something happened today. Isn't it the monster child of yours who killed my wife?"
"My wife will not let you go!"
"Er Zhuang's father, why did Er Zhuang run away to Xihe Gouzi? Do you really have no idea? He followed his mother to the next village and then passed by Xihe Gouzi." My grandfather said in a serious voice. : "This matter has nothing to do with our Xiaobai from the beginning to the end. This is all the fault of Erzhuang's mother."
"Get out! I don't want to hear your nonsense here." Erzhuang's father picked up the broom and started to chase people away.
