Chapter 24: Cloud Shadow in November 1994
Cloud Shadow in November 1994
That day, when I finished my shift, I patted the snow on my cloak and opened the door. The house was pitch-dark.
"Where's the person?" I called out, "Why is the fireplace going out?"
No one responded to me in the room, only the cry of a baby came from the grass nest.
"Widow?" I called someone: "Nina... Jon?"
No one, I wanted to take out the lighter hidden in the corner of the wall to make a fire, but the lighter was gone, and there was a "Om!" in my head, dizzy, almost Can't stand up straight.
The baby was still crying in the grass nest. I went to see my ginseng potato. The cloth bag was gone, and a large bag of ginseng potato was missing. The other ginseng potato was also scattered scatteredly. All the gold coins hidden in it are gone.
"Impossible...impossible..." I slumped in the grass nest, unable to believe all this.
I was so kind to them, I saved his life, I took in her and her brother, I gave her a way out from the village, how could they... How could they treat me like this?
After the move, I have very few things hidden in my new home, except for a lighter that the widow never sees, those are the gold coins. I thought it was very hidden, and I never thought that the widow would take my son and daughter and roll me over. The money ran away, and I was left with a baby that was not weaned.
I was so angry that I gnashed my teeth, I saved them, I believed them so much, but they treated me like this...
I wanted to hold back, but the useless tears flowed down my cheeks like this, and the little baby was still crying in the grass nest , my mind went blank and I had absolutely no idea what to do.
I hate widows, I hate those two heartless bastards, white-eyed wolves, I hate that I want to throw this noisy bastard to death on the spot, I hate that I want to drag him to the witch doctor now, and let that woman treat him The most vicious evil method, causing the widow and two wild species to die!
But I hate myself even more, I hate myself being blind and believing them so easily, I hate myself for being useless, obviously I should take Ah Fu to go out in the wind and snow to hunt them down, but I am still worried that the baby in front of me is It's not that I'm hungry, is it frozen, where should I get him something to eat?
I cried and cried for a long time, punched myself a lot, and finally wrapped the baby in leather and ran out in the snow. I knew that there was a woman in the village who had just given birth. I asked her family for help, and I said that the mother of the baby was gone. He is very hungry, please help, give him some milk, don't let him starve to death.
The appearance of my red eyes made the family very nervous. They knew me and took me in. The mother took the small bag in my arms, held the baby and comforted it softly, and then fed him.
I know that the people here are undernourished, most of them have very little milk, and it is difficult to take care of their own daughters. I am afraid that there is no extra to support other people's children, so I ran home and brought some ginseng potatoes to them, and told them that I would To thank them with meat, just ask her to give this baby a little milk, it won't take too long, just six days.
This family has a good heart. They agreed to me and told me that I could leave the baby to them first. I wanted to agree, but I noticed his dark, damp and smelly home and shook his head and refused. I asked her to take care of her every day. Feed the baby three times, once at night if possible, and for six days, I give them a gold coin in addition to these foods.
My offer was not unreasonably generous, and they agreed on the spot, guaranteeing that the baby would be well fed and not starving.
I went home with my bag, and it took a lot of effort to start a fire. I was happy that the baby didn't starve to death, but what's next, how am I going to live?
I had great plans in which I was going to live a rich and comfortable life, but my plans were shattered, those bastards, they took all my savings and left me in big trouble .
I hate the widow family, but I am even more afraid that they will be caught. They have my lighter. If someone asks them where the lighter came from, they will definitely say that it is mine, and then someone will catch me and ask me where The lighter is coming, how should I answer?
The widow's son and daughter both drank milk powder, ate biscuits, and saw new underwear under my tattered clothes in Shanghe Village. If they told others that I had those things, how would I explain them?
I was trembling all over, and I didn't even dare to tell others that they took my money and ran away. I was afraid that they would tell my secrets in public after they were caught. Thinking of that possibility, my hands and feet became sore and my scalp tingled.
My brain was so messed up that I barely made some ginseng and potato porridge and didn’t have any appetite. I was lying on the haystack leaning on Ah Fu, the firelight reflected on my melancholy face, and the bare-bottomed baby lay in the grass nest beside me and stretched out his little hand scratching, the firelight also reflected his innocent big eyes.
Ugh!
In the night, Ah Fu suddenly raised his head and let out a low growl in his throat. It didn't take long for someone to knock on the door. It was the family of the kind mother who sent her over to feed the baby. She envied my house for being spacious and dry, and said that the baby is better here.
The little baby slept peacefully after eating and drinking enough, and woke me up once in the middle of the night because of peeing and peeing. I rolled up the hay and threw it away. I cleaned him with a muslin cloth and watched him fall asleep again. Just fell back to sleep.
The next day, I woke up with a headache all over. I took the baby to feed and made a few diapers for him with the underwear I took off. This is the second time I have taken off my underwear. The last time It's to save his brother, I don't regret it, this time it's for him, I hope things that make me sad don't happen again.
Do not worry about leaving the baby at home alone, I patrolled in the morning with a leather swaddle. After the patrol was over, I took a short time to return home, changed the diaper that had been wet and wiped him clean, and then used ginseng potato from the hunter. Then I changed some meat and took him to breastfeed.
That kind mother was well nourished, accepted the meat under my persuasion, and thanked me again and again.
I went home again, wrapped the baby in diapers and continued to wrap him in a swaddle, standing guard with me.
The cold wind is blowing hard today. I usually wear a cloak, but now I have no underwear and no cloak. My whole body is shivering from the cold. I keep leaning against the brazier. It would not be so extravagant to wrap a baby in soft and warm leather. In this weather, it is normal for a child to have his entire head and even half of his body exposed in the wind and snow, but the children here are really solid, and it seems that no one is frozen. bad.
My already boring job has become "splendid" because I hold an extra baby. From time to time, I have to run home because the baby is crying or pooping and urinating. Thanks to my home not far from the village entrance, otherwise it will only take so many trips. Back and forth also tossed me to death.
I haven't slept even a single night of sleep these days. I don't know how I survived these six days. After I passed through the stone gate and returned home, I was so tired that I couldn't keep my eyelids open, and I barely took off my clothes. Stuffed in a plastic bag under the bed, pulled up the quilt and fell asleep.
It's really bad, I woke up before dawn, groping around the bed in a daze, and yelling, "Wake up, it's time to go for milk!" I jumped, and I didn't breathe a sigh of relief until I got up and looked around, making sure I was in another world, and went back to sleep.
When I woke up the next day, it was already three poles in the sun. I was completely late. My dad brought me breakfast and told me that my mother had gone to school and asked me to take a leave of absence, and asked me to eat breakfast and sleep for a while.
I nodded gratefully, hugged my dad, devoured milk, ate eggs, rinsed my mouth, lay down and went to sleep.
I didn’t sleep well at all. It was only a few days ago, and I felt like I already had a biological clock. When the time came, I felt that it was time to breastfeed my baby. I was restless, and it took dozens of seconds to realize that I didn’t need to worry about those problems now.
I didn't want to worry, but I couldn't control myself. I asked my dad for money to buy a baby bottle and put it away. After I went to the bookstore to check the books, I went to the pharmacy to buy some regular medicines before I felt a little more at ease.
"What's wrong with you, the eye circles are so heavy?" I felt better after dinner, my dad asked me while pushing my head. He still doesn't understand why my hair suddenly grows at the beginning of every month, and when I slept well the night before, I wake up with dark circles under my eyes, which is almost the same as staying up late and playing mahjong for several days. .
"Alas! Forget it." I felt unlucky even thinking about it. Originally, today was the day when I handed the gold coins to them and watched them jump around happily. Now it seems that our family will have to wait until they get rich.
In the middle of the night, I woke up again, and the bloody biological clock told me that it was time to breastfeed my baby, but in this world, how could I feed a baby, rub my face, lie down and go to sleep.
The next morning, I woke up hungry, boiled two eggs for myself, drank a large bowl of milk, and ate two large steamed buns to get better. It can be seen that taking care of children is really a tormenting thing, and it has only been a few days. I feel like I've been hollowed out by that little brat.
Since I got used to patrolling, I feel uncomfortable every morning without any activity. I don't ride a bike, I run to school, and after I sit down in the classroom, I happen to be chatting at the same table with me.
"What book did you read?" I leaned over: "What are you talking about."
"The Application of Solid Geometry in Architecture." He didn't look up.
"What are you talking about?" I saw that there were some shaded patterns on it, marked with a lot of letters, like a math problem we did.
"..." He raised his head, looking at me as if he was mentally retarded.
"Okay okay I was wrong, keep watching!"
He lowered his head and ignored me.
This person is particularly boring, usually like a wooden pier.
"Why didn't I come to class yesterday, did the teacher ask 'Where is Xiao Wangkai'?" I asked him.
"...Yes, every subject has been asked." He still stared at the book.
"Really?" I don't believe it.
"Really."
"Oh." I'll believe him when he says the truth, because he's usually too lazy to lie.
I said I was too sleepy yesterday, my mom asked me for leave, and I slept comfortably all day.
"Can I ask for leave even if I can't get up?" He turned to look at me in admiration, then reached out and raised my chin: "What's wrong with your eye circles, why are you so dark?"
"I haven't slept well!" I opened his hand angrily: "It's all caused by little babies. It's too tiring to take care of the children, but it's tossing me..."
"Your mother gave you another brother? He looked disgusted: "How many brothers and sisters do you have now? My mother told me that people in rural areas are especially able to have children, one after another!"
"Fuck you! I am the only one in our family, I take care of it. It’s someone else’s baby, and we rural people eat your rice more than raw?” I am annoying him because he is full of prejudice against rural people, and I don’t know who instilled so many wrong concepts in him, making him cynical and enemy of vulgar dogs .
"Someone will throw the child at you?" My deskmate looked at me sideways: "Just kidding, I don't believe it!"
"Ai believe it or not!" Anyway, I was ready to go to the Xinhua Bookstore to read parenting books after school. When my sister was born, I also went to Xinhua Bookstore to read some books on how to take care of pups. Ah Fu is so good now.
I think taking care of a child is similar to taking care of a puppy, the trouble is a little more troublesome, but I should be able to do it.
"Do you eat cookies?" my deskmate asked me.
"I want to eat your ham!"
I saw that there were still two kings of kings in his schoolbag!
"Fuck off!" He threw the biscuits in my hand angrily. I was very melancholy holding the sweet and greasy biscuits. I shouldn't like to eat bear biscuits that only little girls like.
Some food is better than none, I said disgusting, I ripped open the bag and I kept eating.
"I said that you just eat, why don't you grow any meat?" My tablemate reached out and grabbed my face: "The little dog is cute until it is chubby!"
"Why do I grow meat? I grow taller!" When it comes to getting taller, I get upset again, why haven't I grown taller?
"Don't grow taller, rural dogs are cute when they are young, but when they grow up, they become big yellow dogs. They are not cute anymore." He put his arms around my shoulders in an awkward manner: "Wherever big yellow dogs go, everyone yells and beats them, and they get caught. When I got up, I sent the dog meat stall to kill and stew..."
"So I hope you never grow taller, just keep it like this. This is the peak moment of your life." He pinched my face and made a serious conclusion.
"Tsk! Liang Jiangbo, can you expect me to order it?" I strangled him by the neck: "Your curse is too much, I told you that if I am less than 1.8 meters tall, I will be the first to kill you. You!"
When I heard that I was going to be 1.8 meters tall, my tablemate was very happy, and when I pinched me, I laughed out of breath, and the people next to me were also happy to beat the table. The highest in our class was just I was just 1.75 meters long. If I could grow to 1.8 meters long, they would be able to break down the blackboard and eat it.
snort! When I was at the same table, I was his little angel baby, but when I found out that my family was poor and still opened a small shop, I immediately became a local dog, and I was snobbish.
