Loyal Soul, Wild Ghost (2)
Hong Zhong's mother's body was wrapped in a bamboo mat and carried to the back of the mountain to be buried.
Late at night, the moon seemed to be starving as well, and the blood that came out of it was dyed red. Many of the fallen stars were buried in the vast night sea.
On the steps of the storage room, there were more than a thousand catties of high-quality peanuts that would be sent to the public tomorrow. Juxiang's father slept on the bed beside her, guarding her. His nerves had been tense all this time. When there was a slight movement in his illusionary consciousness on the pile of peanuts, he suddenly sat up and looked around mechanically. Vaguely, a shriveled rat ran over secretly and ran away in panic with a peanut in its mouth. Juxiang's father used all his strength to pounce on her, but his deformed and fat body did not listen to him. He staggered and fell into the gutter under the eaves. He struggled until he was exhausted, but he still couldn't get up. He cursed,"Plague rats, even if you starve to death, you can't steal public grain.”
Juxiang's father had no choice but to sit in the shade, staring at the peanuts on the edge of the steps. In a daze, he heard footsteps. A figure came from the east. He struggled to get up again, but his legs seemed to be on someone else's body. He let out a long sigh and grabbed a stone in his hand.
"Father Juxiang, Father Juxiang." "Mother Juxiang, what are you doing here?" "You're swollen like a bubble. The more I think about it after I wake up, the more worried I am. What's wrong with you?”"Catch a rat that steals peanuts.”"His father…"
Juxiang's mother dragged him to the bed on the floor." You're so hungry," she said." You don't even know how many peanuts to eat when you're guarding a big pile of peanuts."”After saying that, she reached out to grab the peanuts. Juxiang's father suddenly grabbed her hand, forcefully pulled it away, and threw it back onto the pile. He shouted,"Are you crazy? If I pay the public grain tomorrow, where will I put my face? You should leave quickly. It's hard to explain if others see you.”"What kind of bewitching soup have you been fed that you still haven't woken up? Damn pig, you deserve to starve to death!"
The next morning, people went to the storage room to pick up peanuts to hand in the public grain. Juxiang's father sat on the floor, his body hard against the wall, his eyes staring straight at the pile of peanuts in front of the peanuts...
Juxiang's mother carried her youngest son, Reed, and the blind child came leaning on Juxiang. The family threw themselves on Juxiang's father's body and cried bitterly. Many neighbors wiped their tears.
