Childhood memories
- The evil wolf attacked the village to cause tragedy
Text/Kwon Young-chi
The terrible memories of my childhood memories make me unforgettable in this life. In 1964, I was fourteen years old. This year, the evil wolf often went out in our village, and an earth-shattering event occurred, which has always been imprinted in my heart.
Brother Lion is an only child, and his family lives in a small ditch in the village, with only two cave holes, and the house has no courtyard wall. After he and Gui Fangjie were married for more than half a year, he went to Lhasa, Tibet, on his back. The family left his elderly father and young wife. Sister Gui Fang is virtuous, gentle, down-to-earth, capable, and also very female, treating her father-in-law like her own father. The following year, Gui Fangjie gave birth to her eldest daughter, who was named Pin. Tibet is too far from his hometown, and the traffic is not convenient, and Brother Lion has saved three or five years of vacation before going home to visit his relatives. Went home and lived for half a year, and as soon as I slapped my ass, I left again. Fast forward to 1964, and they already had three daughters. Pin was smart and sharp from childhood, obedient and diligent, and often helped her mother to do some work within her ability. For example, sweeping the floor to wipe the house, pulling the bellows, drying grain pockets, bringing tea and water to Grandpa, and going with Grandpa to collect vegetables in the self-reserved field. Everyone would praise her when they saw her, saying that she was a very sensible baby.
There are unpredictable storms in the sky, and people have bad luck and bad luck. On the evening of March 28 of the lunar calendar of this year, the sky was overcast and drizzling, Gui Fangjie was cooking dinner at home, and Pin and Grandpa sat on chairs and drank tea. The eight-year-old second daughter Xiaopin suddenly wanted to pee, and was afraid of darkness, so she crawled next to her sister Pin's ear and said something, and Pin went out with her sister. Xiao Pin did not dare to go forward, went out of the door and squatted down to pee, and Pin entered the hut alone. Suddenly, Xiao Pin saw something like a dog pulling her sister Pin out of the yard, and she quickly ran back to the house and shouted:
"What the hell is pulling my sister away"! Gui Fangjie and her father-in-law hurriedly ran out of the cave to take a look at the hut, where is the figure of Pin? The two ran all the way to the mouth of the ditch, shouting as they ran, "Pin... Pin..., my baby! product... product... Baby! Baby..."
Not far from the mouth of the ditch, there is a stone mill, which is used by the production team to grind rice for the members of the company. There were two people crouching on the side, and it was the deputy captain Zhong Chengge and the captain of the fifth team who were talking about things. The two of them heard the heart-rending cries on this side and immediately ran over and asked, "Gui Fang, Gui Fang?" Gui Fang cried and said, "The wolf pulled Pinwa away!" As soon as the words fell on her, she collapsed on the ground. Zhongcheng Brother immediately shouted: "The township party masters are coming out, and the wolf will pull the baby away!" The township party masters are coming out to save people...! ”
There were several families living next door, and the uncles and aunts and sisters-in-law all ran out when they heard the shouting. Hui Fang's aunt was busy pinching Gui Fangjie's people, and after a while Gui Fangjie spat out a mouthful of blood and whimpered and cried.
There was an ancient bell in the old field, and the sound of "buzzing and buzzing" spread to the ten miles and eight townships. Brother Zhongcheng shouted while knocking: "The township party masters hurry up to save people, the wolf pulled away a doll of the five teams!" Save people! The wolf pulled Eva away! "Goosebumps rose in horror at the man who heard the shouting. The person who was cooking hurriedly put down the work at hand, and the eater also put down the rice bowl in his hand, and everyone picked up the guy and headed north. The big ditch outside the village was full of people for a while. There was a wolf's den at the mouth of the ditch, and a few young adults dared to carry a horse lantern and take a dart shovel to the waist and drilled into it, the hole was very deep but nothing was found, and they had to retreat with difficulty. People searched the corners of the steps slope and the old graves where they could hide, from the evening to the middle of the night, and finally withdrew listlessly.
Gui Fang's grandfather was crying with a headache: "I am a wasted person, I don't know how to go out with the baby, what is the use of my life, my son came back and I will confess it!" The captain and the villagers strongly advised Grandpa Pin. Several aunts and sisters-in-law on the team also surrounded Gui Fang's sister while crying and advising: "Gui Fang, we have never seen this matter for several generations, and no one could have imagined that this would happen." You're crying. You see the old and the little in this house still depend on you, crying and breaking the body who cares about them (them), the lion came back and we told him. ”
Late at night, the two sisters-in-law were left, and the others also recorded and continued to go home. This night, Gui Fangjie cried and wiped her tears for most of the night, and her throat also cried.
The drizzle did not stop this night, the ground was wet, and God seemed to be weeping for this bitter child.
The sky was bright, the rain had stopped, and the belly of the fish had spread in the east. People got up early, and even the people in the village rushed to help, and each one of them continued to go out looking for it with a hammer in hand. In the wheat field, in the peach orchard, under the old shore, and by the water canal, they all went to find the place, and finally in a wheat field on the side of the four teams of peach orchards outside the big water canal on the edge of the village, they saw a piece of wheat seedling that was trampled down and the grass was large, and several people approached and looked at it and were frightened into a cold sweat: "Oh my God, why eat the baby here!" "The crowd looked around and saw that the wheat seedlings in the wheat field were covered with blood, leaving only bloody skulls and one foot. Appalling! Someone quickly called Grandpa Pin to take a bag to pack the baby's bones and feet and bury them. Others carried two quintals of soil in the ditch to cover the wheat seedlings.
Poor Pin, she was only eleven years old.
Since that day, Several women have been accompanied by several women in Guifang's family.
Brother Zhongcheng and Brother Lion are a piece of grown up hair, and early the next morning he personally went to the post office to send a 10,000-hour urgent telegram to Brother Lion: "There is a major matter at home, come back quickly!" Quick back!! ”
Since her daughter was eaten by the evil wolf, Gui Fangjie has been suffering every day than death, and pin's figure is always in front of her eyes. She remembered the bits and pieces of her growth. Her daughter helped her work since she was a child and followed her to suffer hardships. Pin's long portrait is naturally beautiful, with white and thin skin, round face, double eyelids and high nose bridge, and two small dimples on a smiley face. Slim figure, flexible hands and feet, lively and cute. She thought again of the day of her daughter's accident, struggling bitterly, asking for help; the tragic situation in her daughter's stomach torn apart by the wolf... her heart was completely broken. Within a few days, she had shed a layer of skin all over her body, and the whole person was lost and lost like a person.
More than ten days later, Brother Lion rushed back in a dusty manner. Zhongcheng Brother and the captain of the fifth team went to the station to pick him up, and also told him the truth about what happened at home. This sudden bad news made him crouch on the ground and cry loudly. When he got home, he threw himself on his knees in front of his old father and said, "Big (Dad) I'm back, and I'm frightened of you, and I can't stand you." Then he said to his wife, "Guifang, you have suffered, and I will not complain about you." When the old father saw his son return, the old man said to his son in tears: "The big (dad) is useless, and I am sorry that the baby is not optimistic." When Gui Fangjie saw her husband return, she called out "Fumei" and fainted. Several women next to them shouted busily: "Quick, pull out your hair quickly, pinch people, pinch people." Brother Lion violently got up from the ground and ran over to him and took his wife in his arms: "Guifang, Guifang!" Gui Fangjie choked and choked for half a day before she cried. She cried and hammered her chest: "Fumei, I'm sorry for you, we are not (pitiful)!" "Baby, baby! Mom's heart hurts. The two mouths hugged their heads and cried, and everyone present cried into tears.
Two days later, the captain of the production team personally went to Fu Mei Ge's house and told him: "Our team has less places, so we have found a place for you in the field, take advantage of the fact that you build two houses at home, and the family will move to the middle of the village to live."
A few years later, Fu Meige's old father also passed away, and Fu Meige bid farewell to the villagers and took his wife and daughter to Lhasa, and the family was reunited.
