Lao Itch said sadly: "Actually, my mother passed away when I was in prison."
"What?" Wu Xiaoxie was a little shocked and looked at him with suspicion, "Your mother... passed away?"
"Don't believe it." Lao Itch smiled miserably, with a sad expression and a choked voice, "The day after I was released from prison, I looked for the address my mother left for me. As soon as I opened the door, I smelled... a smell. The smell, I saw my mother, she was lying on the sewing machine in front of the table, motionless, I thought she was too tired and fell asleep, but when I went over to help her up, do you know what I saw?"
Lao Itch turned his head, his eyes were red, and there were tears of regret in the corners of his eyes, "I saw... half of her face that was pressed down was completely stained by the sewing machine. When she pulled it, it was all torn off, and the flesh inside turned into Pus... I... I..."
Wu Xiaoxie knew that Lao Itch was a very filial person. He would never make such a horrible joke about his mother. He was stunned for a moment. What flashed in his mind was the warm scene of the two families getting along when they were neighbors. , I didn’t know how to react for a moment.
Any words of comfort seemed too blank at the moment, so I could only remain silent and continue to listen to Lao Itch's story.
Lao Chi took a deep breath. The pungent air choked him and made him cough. Finally, he recovered. Wu Xiaoxie handed him a water bag and let him take a sip. He continued: "I gave my mother After the burial, I stayed alone in an empty house. It was so quiet that I didn’t even dare to sleep. As soon as I closed my eyes, my mother’s face stuck on the sewing machine would appear in front of me.”
"I stayed like this for more than a week. I lay on the bed and closed my eyes in a daze. Suddenly, I heard movement in the kitchen. At first, I thought it was a mouse or something, and I didn't have the energy. I went to check, and my head tilted as if I had fallen asleep." Lao Chi sighed, "When I woke up again, I woke up from hunger. I smelled the aroma of food, coming from the kitchen, and then I heard The sound of footsteps, my mother...my mother actually opened the door, came in and asked me to eat."
When Wu Xiaoxie heard this, he realized what was going on. He remembered the words Lao Itchy blurted out when he saw the black shadow in the cocoon, "That's my mother." He didn't turn around at that time, but now he sees Come on, everything that happens now is traceable.
Lao Itch tilted his head, wiped a rag on his face with his hand, and smiled bitterly, "At first I thought it was because I missed my mother so much that I was hallucinating, but this hallucination was too real, because not only me, but also Cai Cai The people buying vegetables in the market also saw my mother, and then I knew that my mother was really back."
"At first I almost fainted from surprise, but gradually, after a few days, I discovered something was wrong. There was a power outage in the entire community that day, but I sat in front of the sofa and watched TV all night. Only my home had electricity. Electric appliances can still be used even if they are not plugged in." Lao Chi said, "If this situation were different, most people might think it was haunted, but I wouldn't, because I have experienced some things that are unbelievable to ordinary people. , I spent a week to confirm this fact, saying it was Hu. Even though I knew in my heart that my mother was created by myself, I was still very happy. I would rather everything that happened before was a dream. When I wake up from the dream, Now, my mother will still cook for me every day, just like before."
