mountain village

I have a crazy mother who was bought by my father for 3,000 dollars.

Since I can remember, my mother has never had a good day, working all day long, only to eat leftovers, but also not allowed on the table, my drunken father often scolded my mother, my mother stupid, beat her not to cry, but only at me hehehe giggle.

When I was a little older, my silent mother suddenly broke out, in the father drunkenly tortured her, she even bit my father to death.

My father's death was so tragic that the village bone-setter used two handfuls of incense ashes but could not stop my father's bleeding.

Grandma was so mad that she chained my mother to the doorframe and beat her with the soles of her shoes, kicked her with her feet, and scalded her with charcoal, but she didn't say a word, and only smiled at me while shedding tears and cracking her mouth full of blood, which made her look very strange.

I was so shocked by my father's death that I didn't know how to protect my mother, but just watched stupidly from the side.

My mother was chained by my grandmother and tied a knot of life and death, and no one could untie the dead knot unless it was cut with a quick knife.

My mother knelt in front of my father's hearth for three days and three nights, without a drop of water, and after three days, my mother was too weak to kneel, lying on the ground hanging on to her last breath, and no one cared.

Finally, when the funeral, grandmother pulled my mother to the father's grave, with a peach wood stake to tie the mother's rope nailed to the father's coffin, the coffin is not buried.

My mother was already breathing less and more, she didn't even have the strength to move a little, but she was still grinning, no one knew what she was smiling about.

Everyone in the village said that Grandma wanted my mother to bury my father, and when she died tomorrow, she would throw my mother into the coffin and bury her with my father.

I naturally do not want my mother to die, my mother is the person who loves me the most, I want to save my mother, but grandma let people stop me, I can not save.

Early the next morning, Grandma called a few strong men in the village to collect my mother's body, I also went, I want to send my mother to the last journey.

But when I arrived at the cemetery, everyone was dumbfounded: my mother had hung herself on my father's coffin.

The rope that was originally tied around her ankles was now tightly strangled in her mouth. Mother's mouth was strangled open, her mouth was stuffed with grave soil, her tongue was hanging out very long, her eyes were wide open, hanging white eyes, just like a hanging ghost.

Her hair and clothes were in disarray, her shoes were gone, and she looked like a mess.

I don't know why, but the villagers were scared of my mother, and they all took two steps backward in fear, whispering under their breath.

I heard them say that my mother's death was called "Matchmaker's Seal" and that she wanted to kill our family.

I don't know about the "Matchmaker's Seal", but I only know that my mother is very pitiful, and my tears fell immediately.

Grandma suddenly jumped out of her skin and cursed loudly, "Crazy bitch, you're not at peace even after you're dead, you still want to organize the matchmaker's seal to kill our whole family, I'm not finished with you."

I was full of doubts at that time, what was the matter with this matchmaker's seal, how could my mother want to harm me? I have always been my mother's life.

I felt that Grandma must have misunderstood Mother and wanted to explain to Grandma.

But by this time grandma had already rushed up and wanted to beat my mother's corpse out of anger.

The villagers immediately stopped my grandmother and talked to her.

"Bolzhu his mother, I don't think this is Suyun (my mother) trying to harm you, this is someone secretly playing tricks on you."

"Yes, Suyun has been starving for four days and four nights, she doesn't even have the strength to crawl, so how could she possibly untie the knot of life and death on her ankle and hang herself from the coffin to make this matchmaker's seal."

"I think it would be better to bury Suyun properly, offer her good incense, and talk to her, so that if her grievances subside, the seal of the matchmaker will probably be broken by herself."

But my grandmother wouldn't listen. She thought that my mother was the one who wanted to harm our family, and she had to get rid of her anger.

"Don't stop me, the madwoman wants to harm my family, I want her not to succeed, I want to hang her soul!"

As soon as Grandma said she wanted to hang her soul, the villagers immediately quieted down, looking at my mother with even more strange and fearful expressions.

Some villagers immediately advised my grandmother, "Boltzou's mother, you mustn't do this, it's punishable by heaven. Besides, if it fails, won't you take the whole village with you?"

"Hmph, this has nothing to do with you, it's all my old lady's business."

Villagers have to persuade my milk, but my milk but insisted on not listening, the villagers have to stop talking.

Although I do not know what this "hanging soul" is all about, but from the villagers' reaction, I also know that this "hanging soul" is definitely not good for my mother.

I cried to stop my milk, but my milk but a slap in my face, falling tears scolded me: "small child, grandma is for your own good ah, this woman wants to harm you, milk with life for you to stop, you ...... you really a white-eyed wolf ah ......"

The milk cried fiercely, and also hit me for the first time, I had to be silent.

Milk is eaten weight iron heart, no one can stop, milk personally walked to the coffin, the mother's clothes were stripped, while stripping the clothes, while cursing the mother in bad language.

The townspeople were all scared and whispered away, leaving me in tears as I watched my mother's cruelty.

Grandma stripped my mother of her clothes and pulled a large handful of hair from her head. I searched for shoes around the grave, but I couldn't find any, so I had no choice but to leave it alone.

Milk is a real rural woman, dexterous, almost a morning time, tied a good scarecrow, put on the scarecrow mother's clothes, and the mother's hair into the head of the scarecrow, in the back of the scarecrow wrote the mother's birthdate, hanging in the branches of the tree at the entrance to the village.

Grandma also took the family's big black dog and tied it under the tree to "watch" the scarecrow. At that time, I was still young, I do not know why my grandmother did this, just simply think it is strange.

I also asked my milk this tie scarecrow to do what, milk but let me do not care about anything, but also warned me not to care about the big black in the future, when the time comes, naturally, will bring the big black back.

I am very sad, father and mother are dead, I will be a child without parents, I cried for a whole night.

When I go to school, I have to pass by the entrance of the village, and every time I pass by, I have to take a look at Dahei.

I found that the big black has also changed its temperament, before the big black saw me from afar love to run up and wagging tail, but now it is like a fool, tilted his head back to look at the scarecrow, but also fall tears.

I called out to it, it does not pay attention to me, just tilted his head and looked at the scarecrow.

I also curious to look over, do not know what this scarecrow to see, but every time I look at the scarecrow, but always feel that the scarecrow is also looking at me.

That is from the bottom of the heart of the feeling, that strange feeling every time to make my scalp numb, creepy, had to ignore the big black, speed up to leave.

Sometimes I can still feel that someone is following me, every time, I heard the big black dog let out a very sad whimpering sound, sounds like a person is crying.

I told my grandmother about this strange story, and when she heard it, her face turned pale and she warned me to take a detour to school, never to pass by there again, and if he knew about it, he would break my legs.

Grandma was very serious, and I didn't want to pass by there, so I nodded my head and agreed.

After ten days or so, I gradually got over my grief. But I still had a fear of the scarecrow at the entrance of the village, and every time I went to school, I went around the entrance of the village.

Early that morning I went to school, was about to follow the customary bypass the village entrance, but suddenly there was a man dressed in black stopped me.

The strange man was all black, straight-backed, and wore a sunglasses, similar to the street blind calculator, except that what he was holding was not a bamboo pole, but a white bun.

The more I look at this person, the more familiar I feel, but how can not remember where I have seen.

The man opened his mouth and asked me: "Little fellow, do you know whose family that big black dog at the entrance of the village belongs to? It's starving to death, why doesn't anyone feed it?"

When he said this, my heart immediately thumped, my big black is starving to death? Grandma tied it up at the entrance of the village, didn't she feed it anything?

Big black with me for several years, but also a little affection, heard that it is dying of hunger, I was heartbroken, and quickly turned around to go home, want to take the leftovers to feed the big black.

However, that strange man but dragged me, said he happened to have a bun in his hand, just afraid of the black dog bit him, did not throw, let me throw the bun for him to the black dog.

I didn't even think about it, directly grabbed the bun, said thank you to him, and ran to the village entrance.

At that time, I was only thinking about Big Black, and I didn't even think about the weirdness of the village entrance.

I ran to the entrance of the village in one breath, and saw the big black hungry really not like, I do not know how many days have not eaten, I quickly threw the bun to the big black.

Big black hungry, originally stared straight at the eyes of the scarecrow, finally turned to the white bread, big black wolf eat up.

While watching Big Black eat the bun, that feeling of being stared at inexplicably surfaced again, and this time the feeling was stronger than before.

I got scared, stood up and left in a hurry.

As I ran away, I always felt that someone was following behind me, I turned back to look but still didn't find anyone.

My eyes inadvertently glimpsed the scarecrow hanging on the tree, the scarecrow of the wind and sun and rain, has long been rotten out of shape. Although this scarecrow does not have five senses, but I always feel that the scarecrow inside a pair of eyes, it is staring at me.

This feeling is very bad, I immediately ran. Big Black whimpered again behind me, and the feeling of being followed finally disappeared.

The whole day I was distracted, all I could think about was the scarecrow and Big Black. I wondered if I should go back and ask Grandma to bring Big Black back, if this goes on, Big Black will starve to death sooner or later.

However, when I went home to discuss with my grandmother, she strongly disagreed and beat me up, blaming me for feeding Dahei and warning me that if I dared to cross the village entrance again, I would not be spared next time.

Grandma's temperament I know, I begged again and again useless, so I had to give up, thinking that I can secretly go to feed the big black in the future.

As usual, I lay down on the bed after dinner and fell asleep in a short time.

That night I slept very well, until dawn, Grandma called me to eat breakfast before I woke up.

Just woke up, I feel tired all over, my ankles and feet are very sore, it feels like I have walked a long march.

I stretched a bit, from the bed to get up ready to put on clothes, but at this time I was surprised to find that the clothes have been put on my body!

Strange ah, I have been accustomed to strip naked to sleep ah, yesterday was also undressed to sleep, could it be that I remembered wrong?

I was a little surprised, from the bed to sit up and ready to wear shoes, but I was surprised to find that the shoes are also wearing on my feet.

I looked down, and immediately screamed in fear, because what I wore on my feet, was actually the pair of embroidered shoes that my mother wore when she died, and my shoes, however, disappeared.
