I killed my mother!
I personally caused my mother to die with everlasting regret. I will never forget those eyes.
I was nine and my mother was pregnant and she was going to give me a brother.
It's because my mom is pregnant and can't do anything for me. And my dad was a tough guy, he didn't know anything except how to work in the fields, and whenever I did something wrong, my dad would give me punches and kicks.
It was all because my mother wanted to add a brother to my life.
One day, I felt wronged and ran to the back of our village to play. The back of the mountain was a small hill forest filled with trees that the village had contracted with the government.
If the village was poor, they would have to depend on the mountain.
I sat in front of the makeshift Xiao Mu house on the mountain, holding a small branch that I randomly picked up while I was walking up the mountain, shaking it.
Suddenly, a resentful thought rose up in my mind.
I'm going to kill the baby in my mom's stomach. As long as he doesn't give birth, my mom will still be my mom, and my dad won't hit me again.
But as far as I know, there's an unmarried older sister in the next village who goes to the hospital when she's pregnant, and she doesn't have a baby in her womb.
My mother would never go to the hospital.
After thinking for an entire afternoon, he still could not come to any conclusion. When night fell, I was about to go down the mountain when I met a small Old Man. It seemed that I had gotten lost in the forest.
This forest was enough for the villagers to force their eyes to go out, but for the outsiders, it was not certain.
The mountain ranges that rose and fell were planted with the trees of their families. Moreover, the older generation said that fog would rise up in the forest at night, and that was because the mountain gods were protecting the mountain forest left behind by their ancestors.
Although there was no fog at the moment, visibility was not too high.
When I walked in, I saw that it was a hunchbacked old man.
I went up to him and asked him if he was lost. The little old man was very happy to see me. He said he was lost and asked if I could take him out.
I waved the branch in my hand and said that it was fine.
Take this little old man out and I can brag about him to those kids in the village. Look, this brother will be the one to do great things in the future.
When I got down the mountain, I said I would be grateful, but I said no, he had to return the favor.
So I said I was going to kill the baby in my mother's belly.
The little old man was surprised, and asked my mother about her birthday. He pinched his fingers and counted like an old Taoist. His expression was exactly like that barefoot doctor from the next village, who didn't have a proper medical license and only played tricks on people all day long to prescribe medicine.
I can help you.
When I heard this, I couldn't believe that this little old man would be able to help me after thinking about it for a whole day.
He took out a scarecrow from his bosom. It was about the size of a palm, and was about the size of a toy Er Gouzi used to play with. Ergouzi is my brother in the village, his relative is in the county town, and he brings him toys for the holidays.
Even though I believe him, I can't fool me like a child!
"Are you trying to fool me with scarecrows? If you don't want to help, just say so. "You can leave now, don't disturb my sadness."
My tone of voice is a little aggressive, this is clearly showing that I am looked down upon!
The hunchbacked old man wasn't angered by my arrogant tone and instead laughed heartily.
I was puzzled, how could he laugh after being scolded by me, this Old Man is the first one.
"Don't worry, let me finish. You take this scarecrow and leave it in the moonlight for ten minutes on the fifteenth night of the Lunar calendar, the day after tomorrow, at twelve o'clock in the evening. Then put it in the basin, which must be flooded to a quarter of the way, and finally put the water basin with the scarecrow under your mother's bed. "
When I heard this, I felt it was a little unreliable.
The hunchbacked Old Man seemed to have thought of something, and said, "That's right, before you put it in, you need to stab your middle finger, and drip a drop of blood on the scarecrow's body. Only then can you kill your brother."
You still need to prick your finger? I subconsciously touched my finger. In the past, when I went to the village to get a sprout, I was always scared when I saw a needle. This Old Man really wanted me to prick his finger, so I didn't want it.
"It looks like you don't have that much hatred towards your mother's little brother! Then watch as he slowly takes away your parents, your friends, and all your family. The second child is always happier than the first. "
I raised my head and looked at the weird Old Man.
No, I can't let this brother take my parents.
"Is that true?" This little toy can help me? You must be lying to me, we have an unmarried older sister in the next village who went to the hospital in the town and didn't have any babies in her belly. I don't believe you. "
I said snappily, a broken toy wants to deceive me, I am not fooled!
This weird Old Man was smiling again, her smile was a little scared, it was very similar to my grandmother's portrait.
"Then just treat it as a toy. You can give it a try, since it won't take up much of your time. If you succeed, your enemies will be gone. If you fail, you can think of other ways. Do you think I'm right? "
I thought about it, although this Old Man looked a little strange, his words were quite accurate.
I received the scarecrow from the Old Man and was looking at it from the side, but I didn't see anything powerful.
It wasn't until late at night that he returned home. In the small village within the mountain, the sky was always especially dark.
When I got home, I saw my father standing guard at the door with a cane. I tried to hide, but it was too late.
He was forcefully whipped several times.
Unconvinced, I ran into the room and saw my mother knitting sweaters for my unborn brother. She didn't even knit a sweater for me.
I approached and kicked my mother in the stomach.
My mother was startled by my sudden kick. She had a big belly and couldn't avoid it, so she used her foot to climb onto the stool. The stool slid away for a distance before my kick missed.
My father had just used a cane to pull me out and was preparing to carry a basin of hot water to my mother to give her a kick, but then he saw my kick.
The entire basin fell to the ground, and the water in it instantly filled the entire floor.
My father came up and slapped me.
It was so painful that it was painful to death.
I covered my face and pointed at my mother's belly with tears in my eyes. "It's you! It's all because of you! Snatch my parents, make my dad hit me, I hate you! "
After cursing, I turned around and ran. I regretted running out the door. Where should I go?
In the end, he went back home and got the wrong whip.
After two days of peace, I remembered that little old scarecrow. Wasn't today the fifteenth?
When my parents fell asleep, I took the scarecrow that the old man gave me and sneaked out of the house. I placed the scarecrow in the middle of the field.
Then I went into the house and brought out the water basin I had prepared. I said I wanted a quarter of the water, and I even measured it myself.
About ten minutes later, his right hand took out a needle from his pocket and inserted it into his left middle finger.
Blood started to flow, and my heart trembled.
I rubbed the blood from my middle finger on the scarecrow's body and placed it on the water basin. Under the moonlight, I found that the water inside the basin had turned bright red.
Like my blood.
I was afraid that I had never seen anything like this before.
But think of my mother in the belly of the child, and I recently received grievance, I only need to stand up on the buttocks of the hit by rattan still painful!
I secretly entered the house while carrying a bright red water basin. Perhaps it was due to my guilty conscience that I heard the sound of a dog barking in the village.
Many families in the village had dogs, and the older generation said that dogs were very intelligent, so they would bring dogs up when they went up to the forest.
I carefully placed the water basin under the bed where my mother was sleeping. My parents were sleeping very soundly, so they didn't notice my actions at all.
All night I thought about how the doll in my mother's belly was gone the next day.
I didn't sleep until dawn.
When my mother finally got up, I went to see her. The baby was still in her stomach.
Sure enough, that little old man was a liar.
After six days of peace and stability, to the seventh day, I had completely forgotten about this matter.
My mother's stomach began to ache. She was sitting in the sun, and I was being forced by my father to blow up corn.
With a clang, my mother fell off her stool. I turned to look at her. Her thighs were covered with blood.
Large patches of bright red blood flowed from the base of my mother's thigh, and I was frightened. This wasn't what I wanted.
Subconsciously, he stretched out his left hand and took a look at his middle finger. There was no scab where he had stabbed, but a blood-red mole had grown on it.
My dad rushed out of the room and was shocked when he saw the situation unfold.
