C25 (2/2)
After a while. Second Sister Jin Yuhong came in again. She looked around her and mysteriously whispered into my ear, ”Brother, I feel that there's something wrong with my elder sister!”
”What's wrong?” I asked in the same low voice.
”What's wrong? I can't say!” Brother, you might have killed the wrong person! The person you killed at the well might be the real Jin Yuxia. As for this person, it's possible that he was transformed by a demon! ” Jin Yuhong said.
The corners of my mouth twitched. I tried to say something, but I couldn't.
”Brother, what do you think is going on? Why would there be two Jin Yuxia s? ”What kind of demon did the extra one turn out to be?” Jin Yuhong asked softly.
I shook my head and said I didn't know.
His mother had finished cooking. Call us to dinner.
Just as he was surrounding the table and chewing, his mother suddenly asked: ”Yuxia, Yuhong, these few days, why didn't your grandfather call you over to accompany that Blind Old Woman to take a bath?”
I saw Eldest Sister and Second Sister look at each other. The eldest sister, Jin Yuxia, said: ”Mother, I told you about this, so don't you dare spread it. My great ancestor found a man to take a bath with her! ”
”What?!” Mother almost spat out the rice in her mouth. Then she said harshly, ”Are you for real? She's already so old and her seniority is so high, so you can't joke around with her! ”
Second Sister Jin Yuhong laughed and said, ”Really. We saw the man with our own eyes. But we don't know what he looks like. Because he has a large earthenware jar over his head! ”
Mother scolded, ”This old thing! He's already over a hundred years old, and he's still quite dishonest. So what if she was unconventional? The heavens would take her in sooner or later! I'll go to your grandpa's house tomorrow and see what that man looks like! ”He's wearing a jar, right? I'll smash the jar with my hammer!”
First Sister and Second Sister looked at each other again, their faces filled with panic. Eldest Sister Jin Yuxia said, ”Mother, you can't do it! My grandpa said that the man who was bathing with Grandma Gauzu came out from the ground and couldn't be seen. Whoever sees it will die! ”
His mother looked really frightened. ”How could there be such an evil thing?!” He took a bite of the dish.
No one spoke any longer, and all of them lowered their heads in silence as they ate.
After we finished eating, I walked slowly out into the yard and looked at the hole in the ground. Under the clear moonlight, the hole looked dark and swarthy, like a big mouth that was about to swallow someone. I don't know how long I stood there. Suddenly, he heard a loud and clear sound. The sound came from deep inside the cave. Let me be more certain that there are fish in the water below. I wish the heavens would come to light so that I could catch them with my fishing gear.
It was late at night. When I returned to the west room, Zhao Xinxin was still lying on the bed motionlessly. Breathing evenly. She was incontinent again. I called the three of them over to help clean it up.
Mother was so angry that her mouth was crooked. He said that he had to change the bedding every day, since there weren't that many quilts to change. He couldn't possibly wash the quilts sewn on the quilts every day, right? Cotton wool cannot be washed with water, can only wash cloth, so we have to take apart the bedding. Besides, even if the cotton wool was dried, it would cause the feces and urine to stink and be covered with smoke.
”I saw you go into the kitchen to steal something to eat, you son of a bitch. What are you pretending for! You can't even get up and live a good life! ” Her mother grinded her teeth in anger, and grabbed Zhao Xinxin's chest with both of her hands, twisting it with all her might. When you release your hands, your breasts will become smooth and smooth. The room bounced back.
But Zhao Xinxin still didn't react at all. She had to place a large piece of plastic under her to prevent the bed from getting wet again.
”Die. Forced, you do it! ” Before she left, her mother hit Zhao Xinxin hard on the face again.
By the latter part of the night, I was lying on my bed in a daze when a noise woke me up. I still had my eyes closed and listened carefully. The noise was coming from the kitchen. I immediately thought about whether or not Zhao Xinxin had run into the kitchen to steal food. But when I opened my eyes, I saw that Zhao Xinxin was lying on the side, perfectly fine.
It could be a rat. Besides, there wasn't anything of value in the kitchen. Even if a thief entered the kitchen, he would at most steal some steamed buns. So I ignored it, closed my eyes again, and dozed off.
Early the next morning, while my spiritual sense was still wandering in my dreams, I heard my mother's screams, ”What is this?! ”What is this?!”
I opened my eyes. He got up and walked slowly out of the west room. My mother was still in the kitchen, holding the lid. It turned out that she had found another bloody object in the pot. I looked at the contents of the pot for a while and said, ”This should be an eyeball!”
”Eyeballs? How come you can only see the blurry flesh and not the pupil? ” the mother said suspiciously.
I found a pair of chopsticks and rolled over the bloody mess in the pot, only to see white eyes and black pupils. He couldn't help but be shocked and said, ”It looks like a human's eyeball!”
Hearing the noise outside, he realized that his Eldest Sister and Little Sister had returned with a bundle of grass that needed to be chopped to feed the chickens. I looked at her, and my mother quickly covered the pot with the lid. When Little Sister and his sister came into the kitchen, their pants were already wet from the dew. She asked if they had finished cooking. Mother said no, wait a little longer.
”I woke up in the middle of the night just in time to hear movement in the kitchen, so I climbed over to the window to take a look outside. After a while, I saw my sister-in-law coming out of the kitchen with a bun and a scallion in her hands!”
