Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 74 Night visit with Xue’s sister-in-law
He recalled that after his mother passed away in his previous life, when he walked in the room, his mother's voice was everywhere, and he even had hallucinations at one point.

Many nights, he felt that his mother was calling him, and he suddenly woke up from his sleep.

He said what he really thought.

When my mother was alive, even if she knew she was just lying there, there was nothing she could do.

In the end, I couldn't even speak.

People gradually stopped recognizing him.

As long as he is here, he feels at ease.

"Mom, anyway, don't forget what I told you, otherwise I won't be able to speak against a few of them when the time comes. You know you are stupid..."

Yuan Rufeng looked at the child and said this, and hesitated for a long time.

Finally he sighed.

"That's right, mother, you are just thinking about my son..."

"It doesn't matter," Li Muyang knew what his mother was going to say, so he interrupted her directly and jumped off the edge of the bed. "Mom, just lie down and I'll get out."

"It's getting dark, why don't you go out early now?"

Mother looked at the window. It was already dark outside and the sun had already set.

Li Muyang chuckled and said, "I want to find the Xue family's sister-in-law."

"Why are you looking for her?"

Li Muyang just smiled and didn't answer.

Yuan Rufeng's eyes suddenly lit up, "What do you mean..."

Li Muyang nodded, "That's what I mean. I said that your medical treatment and my search for a partner will not be delayed, so you can relax and take good care of the doctor, right?"

Yuan Rufeng couldn't conceal her joy, "Okay, okay, as long as you can find a partner, my mother will listen to you in everything. Maybe once your partner comes in, my mother's illness will be cured!"

"Who said it wasn't."

Li Muyang said with a smile.

Of course he knew this was impossible, but just followed his mother's words and made her happy.

Is the truth so important?

Actually not.

People don't live for any reason.

After all, I just want peace of mind.

To others as well as to yourself.

"Qinqin, look after mother while I go out."

"That's cool." It's dark, bring a flashlight, brother. ""

"No, I can walk on the roads in this village with my eyes closed."

"Haha~"

Li Xiangqin couldn't stop laughing.

She has been in a good mood recently.

The person returns to her former girlish character.

I just think of the children from time to time.

There has been no news about Liu Xiaogang for more than 20 days, and I don’t know what he is thinking or what he is going to do.

The opinion of Li Muyang and the eldest and second brothers was that since Liu Xiaogang wanted to delay, there was no rush here anyway.If he is willing to suffer alone with two children, then let him endure it first.

After so many days, Li Xiangqin basically changed from hesitation and hesitation to determination to divorce, and she was just short of the final step.

Li Muyang did not rush her.

He believed that this matter needed a big opportunity for his sister to make a complete decision.

If I guessed correctly, it was the day Liu Xiaogang came to look for someone.

Whether he returns intact or is beaten into a pig's head depends on his fate.

Li Muyang thought about his sister and set foot on the village trail.

Generally speaking, Lijiacun is a bit like a kidney, or a pea shape.

It is short from east to west and long from north to south.

Li Muyang's three tile-roofed houses happen to be at the southernmost village.

After passing Li Muyang's contracted land, you will reach Taoshan.

Theoretically, Taoshan is not actually the land of Lijia Village. Instead, the town government allocated land near the village one by one on the hillside, allowing them to plant trees and earn work points.

After planting, each village was asked to be responsible for the range of the hills in each village.Trees are not allowed to die in large areas. If they die, they need to be organized to plant them.

It was originally a mountain of responsibility. Li Jianshe once thought of turning waste into treasure and taking the opportunity to make some money in his pocket, so he wanted to contract it in the name of the village committee.

Later, when he failed, he became very depressed, thinking that the peach trees in Taoshan were not only eunuch peach trees, but they were also regularly maintained, which made him upset.

Later, the village held a meeting and said several times that everyone could contract the project, but everyone knew that the peach trees in Taoshan only bloomed but did not bear fruit.

Who wants to be taken advantage of?

It just sits idle and becomes a landscape.

Sister-in-law of the Xue family lives in the west of the village.

In later years, a provincial road passed through the west side of Xue's sister-in-law's house from north to south, making their house the westernmost house in Lijia Village.

At this time, there was another family to the west of her house.

He is a crazy old man who lives with his granddaughter.

The villagers didn't know the old man's last name. Anyway, one night, he took his granddaughter to Lijia Village, built a straw shed on the wasteland to the west and lived there.

They go around begging during the day and come back to sleep at night.

The villagers saw that he was old and pitiful and had a child, so they did not drive him away.

Anyway, living in the west won't affect everyone's life.

Later one year, the old man disappeared with his granddaughter.

Before leaving, I tidied up the thatched shed as if it had never been there.It can be regarded as a puzzle in the minds of the adults in Lijiacun.

Many years later, when people mentioned the old man, they were still curious and guessing about his identity.

At this time, the old man hadn't come yet, probably in the summer or autumn of 89. Li Muyang's house was a bit far from the west of the village, so I don't remember it.

He walked westward along the village road in the cool night breeze.

The wild grass on both sides of the road has grown to more than half a person's height, whistling in the night wind, much like the cry of the "little happiness" just adopted at home.

When he started walking, he could still see people on the road, and there were scattered lights of other people not far away.

The further west you go, the fewer people there are and the lights are left behind.

"call!"

A gust of wind roared from behind, picking up some hay and leaves on the ground and flying towards the fields.

It is said in the village that there are two lamps behind a person's shoulders, one on each side.

As people walk forward, the lamp shines on the road behind them.

Never look back at will. If you look back once, you will extinguish one lamp. When both lamps are extinguished, you will be possessed by evil spirits.

In his previous life, Li Muyang didn't believe in these things. As a result, he passed by his great-grandma's grave in the middle of the night and had a high fever when he got home. Even taking a tablet of Analgin didn't help.

There was no other way, so grandma had no choice but to use a peach branch to whip him eighty-eight or sixty-four times through the quilt.

Miraculously, he actually got better.

This weird coincidence made him restrain himself a lot in the future.

Although I still don't believe it, at least I won't refute it righteously.

After being reborn in this life, he actually believes that there is something in the world that stirs up many things in the world.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why he was reborn.

After figuring this out, he was no longer afraid of these gods and ghosts.

He feels that as long as a person has a clear conscience, any evil spirit will stay away and will not bully anyone around him.

After walking for a while, I finally arrived at Sister-in-law Xue's door.

Sister-in-law of the Xue family is actually 79 years old.

She is the oldest old lady in the village.

Also holds the record of being the oldest lady in the village.

When she died, she lived to be 99 years old. Then one afternoon, while the juniors were still eating and drinking in the yard, she said after finishing her meal that it was time to take a rest.

Then he went into the room to rest.

The juniors were all eating happily and did not notice that the room that grandma or great-grandmother entered was not the place where she slept, but the side room where the coffin was parked on the side.

After she entered, she stepped on the bench to the coffin, lay down in it peacefully, and passed away.

When the juniors couldn't find anyone, they finally found her lying in the coffin, walking peacefully with an easy-going smile on her face.

At that time, Li Muyang came to help as a neighbor, that is, he helped with the work for free.

At that time, the Xue family sang the opera for seven days in a row.

It's a happy funeral.

Talking about Xue's sister-in-law herself, people in the village also don't know her name or surname.

Anyway, I knew she would follow Old Man Xue back to the village.

One was less than 1.6 meters tall, and his eyes were horribly narrowed into slits. When looking at people, a faint red light appeared in the two slits.

It is said that her eyes were red from crying.

I heard from the Xue family's sister-in-law that she was once married to a man and had four sons.

All ended up being sacrificed.

After her last son left, she cried for many nights. When she calmed down, her eyes looked like this.

I couldn't open it at all, so I could only squint forever.

Later, when she came to Lijiacun, she helped the old men of the Xue family give birth to four sons and two daughters.

Sadly, when she passed away at the age of 99, her children couldn't wait any longer and left first.

The remainder are grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She had given birth to ten children in her life, and when her death came, she had no one to accompany her, to carry his coffin and support his coffin, and she was helpless.

But if Sister-in-law Xue's sister-in-law is just like this, she won't be able to show her magical side.

In fact, this old lady is extremely energetic.

The strength was also so great that the men were stunned.

She is over 90 years old, but she is still in very good health. Not only can she take good care of herself, she is determined not to live in the city with her grandchildren, but she also walks a long way to go to the market every episode.

What's even more exaggerated is that she can also poop in the ground.

People here pull the manure from their homes to the fields every spring before plowing, and then sprinkle it on the ground.

Because the ground is soft, a truck of dung must weigh several hundred kilograms, so they work in teams of two, with one person pulling in front and the other pushing behind, so that the dung truck can be pulled into the ground.

But the Xue family's sister-in-law has always been alone.

When she was 91 years old, the 90-year-old Xue family man passed away.

No one can help her with this kind of thing anymore.

Her grandchildren were not at home, and they all wanted her to stop doing these things, but she did it anyway.

Others can't help much.

So she had to complete the arduous task of pooping alone.

Therefore, on spring mornings in Lijia Village, people who get up to empty the urinal often see a magical phenomenon. When everyone is rubbing their eyes sleepily, a white-haired old lady is standing upright with her little body. She was pulling a carriage that was several times bigger than her alone, and moved forward slowly step by step.

If someone really couldn't stand it and wanted to help her, she would not refuse and would share the fruits in their yard with others.

There was no one to help her, and she didn't complain or bother others.He has a happy-go-lucky mentality.
