Faced with the problem of patchwork, the woman actually had no fear at all. She cried and said: "I am not afraid of anything for my son. I just hope that he can live a normal life."
"If you have to bear two insect eggs, you won't survive for five years." Bian Hua said to the woman seriously.
There was a trace of fear in the woman's eyes, and she stopped talking. She just turned around and kept stroking her son's hair.
At this moment, Bu Hua's eyes turned cold, and a sneer appeared on her face. No one knew what she was thinking. There was only one person who followed Bu Hua. The Miao girl who was usually responsible for taking care of Bu Hua's life was trembling slightly with fear. For a moment.
She was too familiar with the expression of patchwork, and it was exactly what I thought it would be. If she showed this expression, it would be absolutely impossible for the mother and son to survive.
The Miao girl actually sympathized with the mother and son. Although they were Han, what did they have to do with her? She is just an ordinary Miao girl. She doesn't expect immortality or power, she just wants a stable and happy life.
The atmosphere was frozen at this moment. No one knew what the silent Bu Hua would decide. But at this moment, the woman spoke again. She said: "I did the math. In 5 years, my son will be 13 years old." , I think he can do some things independently at the age of 13, and he can do it without me."
At this time, there was finally a different change on Bu Hua's face. She suddenly turned around and left, and then said: "Just do as she said, and put all the insect eggs that will be placed on his son in the future on her." On the body."
Even Bu Hua herself didn't know that from this moment on, a crack appeared in the hard ice of her heart.
From then on, there were some changes in Bian Hua. She couldn't control herself and often went to the 'livestock' village to check on the lives of the mother and her son. Sometimes she would directly ask the Miao people in charge of that village, and sometimes she would do it herself. Watch from a distance.
Life in the animal village is very hard. Everyone has limited rations, and they have nothing to do and no freedom. The material poverty and spiritual emptiness are like two giant hammers that can hammer a strong man to death.
But these two mothers and sons are different. There is no look of despair on the mother's face, and she is always peaceful. Bu Hua has seen it more than once. Whenever the mother's eyes fall on her son, she will feel a strange kind of satisfaction.
Bu Hua doesn't understand why she likes to observe them from a distance, as if everything in their lives is a secret that she likes to pry into.
Another year passed with such subtle changes, and soon it was early spring again.
This day was Fian Hua's birthday, a day that she didn't care about and even rejected. Although she couldn't say why she rejected it, early in the morning, she thought she would spend it like she did every year before, that is, Do nothing, just stay with Zizi as usual.
However, at dusk, she always thought of the mother and son. When they were eating, the mother would try hard to make her son eat more, and she would look like she was full, but in fact, how 'poor' their rations were. Xu Hua knew it clearly.
She would always think of the scene she saw one night, where the mother was quietly mending an already tattered shirt for her son under the dim light. She was standing outside the fence of the yard at that time, and suddenly, She cried, although she didn't know why she was crying.
Thinking of these, she always felt a little irritable in her heart. Finally she walked out of the wormhole and walked into the village at ten o'clock in the night when the whole village was quiet.
Bu Hua originally thought that she would go back to her house, and thought that she was just bored and wanted to take a walk, but she unexpectedly walked to her previous home without knowing it.
Of course her parents are still there, but because of her attitude, people in the village naturally don't dare to get too close to them. They live like marginalized people in the village, and for some unknown reason, they don't have any more children. .
Unexpectedly, the lights in her home were still on, and she heard a heartbreaking cough from the person she should call her father. Then she also heard the woman she should call her mother speaking: "Why are you coughing so much again?" Are you old? You are old and can no longer hunt. We still have to hand over rations to the village to feed the people in the village. We only rely on those eggs to find the witch doctor to get medicine for you. You insist on keeping them. ..”
Over there, the man's cough seemed to have subsided a little. He gasped and said, "That's all on normal days, but today is the birthday of Tian Hua. I always want to boil some eggs for her. She has been looking forward to her birthday since she was a child. At that time, you could eat two eggs a day, hey..."
The man sighed deeply, and the woman said: "Every year we ask someone to help us deliver it, but every year it always comes back without moving. She won't forgive us, maybe she thinks we are fawning." She can't make up for anything by persisting like this..."
Hearing this, Bu Hua suddenly felt that she couldn't listen anymore. Her whole heart felt like it was wrapped in a handkerchief, and then another pair of hands was twisting the handkerchief hard. It was so painful that she didn't dare to listen anymore.
At that time, she didn't think about very deep issues, she just ran away instinctively, because when anyone's world view is subverted, the first thing they face is the pain of self-denial, and she wants to work hard to prove that she is right, otherwise she will escape.
Renhua fell into confusion, and when she was with Zizi, she began to spend a lot of time in a daze. Zizi seemed to be dismissive of all feelings. Once, when Renhua tried to tell her her inner confusion, all she got was Zizi. An expression of thought, the feelings of ants are ridiculous, their lives have no purpose, and their vision is very narrow. What do they have to discuss
In the past, Xu Hua would have taken it seriously, but this time, she was unwilling to respond for a long time. Is it really purposeless and ridiculous? Then why does that mother have such a satisfied look
The confused time is painful, and Bu Hua has changed again. She used to be cold and emotionless, but now, she has become withdrawn and in a daze when she loves someone alone.
No one dared to ask anything. Those who dared to ask, such as those ancestors, were indifferent to this. After pursuing the pursuit of immortality, except for everything about the holy insects, nothing was worth caring about.
Bu Hua couldn't think of an answer, and she wasn't willing to give up. She didn't dare to deny her own world view. She thought that if she went to see the mother and son again, maybe she could know something.
Or, this was just an excuse, she just wanted to see the mother and son again.
So, Bu Hua walked out of the village and went down the mountain again. Still no one dared to ask or stop her whereabouts. She arrived at the small village again and went straight to the place where the mother and son lived.
As usual, she liked to stand under a tree not far from the mother and son's yard, watching them from a distance through the sparse fence, but this time, she discovered something different, because She didn't see the mother and son, but she saw a man standing in the yard.
The man looked very ordinary, with an ordinary figure and an ordinary appearance. He even looked like a middle-aged and elderly farmer. He was wearing a starched white dress and was standing there casually, but there was an indescribable feeling about him. He is so free and easy, making people feel that he stands so naturally, making people unable to take their eyes away.
After a long while, Bian Hua came back to his senses. Why was a man standing there? What about the mother and son? Bu Hua felt angry and panicked, just like a person who had lost something very important. After losing it, she realized that that thing had been planted in her heart. Once she lost it, her whole heart seemed to be empty. A big chunk.
She unconsciously took two steps forward, wanting to ask the man, where were the mother and son? I also thought that I should pull out the Miao people who were in charge of this village and ask them where the mother and son had gone. But at this moment, the child ran out of the house, then smiled and said something to the man, and then The woman also appeared, just looking at this scene with a smile.
Bu Hua was confused, but she didn't expect the man's eyes to suddenly turn to her, and suddenly shouted in a loud voice: "You have been standing there for a long time, actually you can come in and sit down."
In this village, everyone knows the identity of Fu Hua, and no one dares to talk to Fu Hua so casually. In addition, the people in this village are afraid of the Miao people, how can they dare to invite the Miao people into their houses
A strange feeling welled up in Bu Hua's heart. She hesitated for a moment. She didn't think about the issue of identity. It was just that she had always been a 'peeper' from afar, and suddenly she was close. She didn't dare to enter other people's real lives from a distance.
Just when she was stunned, the man had already walked in front of her. Bu Hua looked at the man in surprise. How could he come so fast
The next moment, the man opened his mouth to speak: "I heard from Xiaopeng that I often see you standing here. I think you are looking at them? Then why don't you get closer to understand what are you afraid of?"
There is an indescribable vicissitude on this man's face, which is the accumulation of years, but his eyes are as clear and clean as a child's, which makes people feel very unusual.
Bu Hua asked subconsciously: "Who are you?"
"Me?" The man smiled slightly and said, "I am Lao Li. I just sent away a few apprentices a few days ago to come to you for a visit."
