The 60-year-old man slowly took out something from his pocket. There was a brass key tied to a thick hemp rope. He carefully put the key into the keyhole and confirmed it again and again. He rubbed his eyes and inserted the key after he saw it clearly.
The old man was wearing a dark brown cotton coat with a stand-up collar. Some parts of the coat had been worn white, and there was even a little shine in it. He was wearing a pair of black striped pants and black safety shoes. Although the clothes were cheap, he obviously cherished them very much. His fat body could no longer pass through the narrow iron door normally. He could only lean sideways, but he tried his best not to let his coat rub against the door frame on both sides again. However, things always backfired. A few palm-sized pieces of white ash were rubbed against the old white wall on her waist.
The old man sighed and slowly walked back into the room. The layout of the room was very simple. On the left side was an old-fashioned television against the wall, with an antenna on it. It was placed on a large brown wooden table and looked very stable. In front of him was an old-fashioned rocking chair, which also showed signs of repair. On the right side was a double bed with bunk beds. The upper bunk was obviously empty, and there were all kinds of things piled on it. However, it was very clean, without a speck of dust.
As for the lower bunk? In this environment, he seemed out of place. The ground was a relatively flat cement floor. The old man should be an expert in bricklaying. The wall in front of him had been filled by the teacher because of the window. The ground was the same. Traces of filling could be seen everywhere. However, the lower bunk was very clean. The army green quilt and bedding were neatly stacked at the head of the bed. Further forward was a solid wooden table that was slightly higher than the head of the bed, and there were a few cabinets at the head of the bed.
The old man looked around and found nothing unusual. He took out a rag from the end of the bed and took off his coat. He started wiping it bit by bit. He glanced at the clock hanging on the television again, turned around, and took out a radio the size of two palms from the bedside table. He slowly turned the knob to adjust it. The radio, which was originally buzzing, also had a clear sound.。。
The book continued, and the silly boy smiled at the sixth brother, who fled in panic. Just then, in the middle of the night, no one made strange noises, and a man's room was filled with conversation.
Speaking of which, when Sixth Brother saw the silly boy at the entrance of the village, he was frightened by his strange eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He didn't dare to go out for two days. Sigh! That's true. The way the silly child went out coincided with the way the sixth child went out. Moreover, if the two families did not take the right path, they would not be far apart. No wonder Sixth Brother didn't dare to go out, but he couldn't stand hunger! This is the year. If you don't prepare something to eat at home, you can only go out and look for food every day. Moreover, it was Old Sixth who lived in a broken cave. There was not a complete roll of mat, and the brick bed was also tattered.
One night, the starving Sixth Brother felt dizzy. Through the broken window on his bed, he looked at the moon in the sky outside. He was in a daze and kept saying,"Aiyaya!" The big moon! You let me eat a bite and then I'll send it to you. Did it hit?"
The neighbors around the Sixth Family were either fleeing from famine or seeking refuge with distant relatives. But Luo Laoliu couldn't! His roots were in this village, and most of the people in the village were prepared to die of old age or starve to death in the village. When the Chinese were in danger, the blood relationship in their bones became even more prominent. This was also due to the promotion of the clan system. It would allow people who were related by blood to stand firmly together no matter what.
But Sixth Brother was someone with a different surname! His father married into the family, but because he had many children, Sixth Brother took his father's surname. However, if he dared to abandon the few remaining memorial tablets on the most complete table in the house now... Then, the village chief would definitely try all kinds of ways to find him. No matter where he was, he would capture him and guard the memorial tablet for his ancestors. The roots can't be taken away.
Speaking of which, this village chief! Sigh, only the clan leader kept saying that there was a way. Our ancestors left us so many treasures! The village would definitely be able to overcome this difficulty.
But ah! It had been more than a month, and Sixth Brother really couldn't wait any longer.
There was nothing in his stomach, and his stomach acid was churning on its own. Sixth Brother thought to himself that he wouldn't go today, right?
The cold knife stabbed in and twisted back and forth inside. At this moment, Sixth Brother felt like this. For a moment, he thought that he might as well bite himself a few times. However, he narrowed his eyes and put his arm in his mouth, pretending to bite down. However, it did not take long for him to put it down again. Afraid of pain, he tossed and turned back and forth. His hands involuntarily reached around and suddenly caught the wheat straw that was leaked out and used to spread on the brick bed. At this moment, he no longer cared if he could eat or not. He stuffed whatever he caught into his mouth. After chewing a few mouthfuls, it was really difficult to swallow, but at this moment, he enjoyed the feeling of fullness brought by this chewing. He swallowed it mouthful by mouthful until the straw had turned into a straw cake. He then swallowed it with difficulty. However, just as he was about to swallow it. However, a meaty fragrance wafted into Sixth Brother's nose. He closed his eyes and sat up with the fragrance. Looking through the window, he saw that someone had placed a black clay jar at the entrance of Sixth Brother's courtyard. Sixth Brother was no stranger to this pot. Many families in this village used this pot to cook. Especially the stewed meat, it was so fragrant! A few years before the disaster, the villagers treated Sixth Brother well. They would always leave a piece of meat for Sixth Brother. As for Sixth Brother, he would also help that family a little, but because he was young, he had always been careless. Sigh! Now that she had grown up, she had not eaten meat for a long time.
Sixth Brother looked at the jar and smelled the fragrance. There must be meat in that jar. It must be stew. This made him feel energized, and he used his remaining strength to get up. Step by step, she staggered out of the door.
Sixth Brother thought to himself that the people who treated him well before were people with other surnames in the village. Most of them had settled here in the past twenty to thirty years. Some of them were from the same hometown as his deceased father. But now, those people were either dead or gone. No one would be so kind as to cook meat for him, but at this moment, Sixth Brother couldn't care less. When she saw that it was really stewed meat, she hurriedly grabbed a piece and stuffed it into her mouth. Instantly, his eyes were filled with disappointment, and bean-sized tears rolled down Sixth Brother's dark face.
"It's so hot! It's so hot! "Wu wu ~" Although he was saying that, Sixth Brother's hands did not stop. After getting used to the temperature, he took out pieces of meat from the soup and ate them.
In the blink of an eye, more than half of the pot of stew had disappeared. Sixth Brother's stomach was also bulging, but he didn't show any signs of stopping. Sometimes, when he ate too much in one go, he would put his mouth to the side of the pot and drink a mouthful of thick soup. After many days of hunger, the stewed meat today satisfied Sixth Brother. However, after a hearty meal, Sixth Brother thought of something.
He whispered,"Is this the living Bodhisattva who sent me a full meal?" Hehe, I thought it would be the last meal!”Beheaded rice? Stewed meat that appeared out of nowhere? At this time, Sixth Brother thought that if it was someone who pitied him, it would not be strange to throw a few pieces of bread at his house. However, in this year of famine, even filling one's stomach had become a problem. Who else would have such delicious stewed meat! Sixth Brother was puzzled.
" Eh? What's this?" Sixth Brother rubbed his fingers and reached for a piece of white meat in the jar.
Only then did Sixth Brother care about what kind of meat he was eating. The meat was more tender than pork, and it didn't look like chicken, beef, or any other kind of meat.
It was only when he saw the tender white meat at the bottom of the jar that he realized, Oh my god! This piece of meat was small and shaped like a child's hand!
Impossible, impossible! How could this be? Could it be the silly child? He saw that she was talking bad about him behind his back, so he did it? How was that possible?
Sixth Brother couldn't believe it for a moment. He stopped chewing and didn't dare to swallow the piece of meat that was right in his throat.
He looked at the bottom of the jar in horror and found a slightly larger piece of meat. He reached out his finger to fiddle with it. This was actually a piece of meat that looked like a child's foot.
Ah! Sixth Brother's mind went blank. The traditional concept had become so easily destroyed that it couldn't even withstand a single blow.
Wahhh! The white meat had been chewed and processed in the stomach. At this time, it was already filthy. However, after Sixth Brother vomited, he did not say anything else.
At this moment, his eyes were in a daze. His lips were slightly purple and his teeth were trembling.
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind him.。。
"Liu 'er! Liu 'er! What are you doing over there! Go back to your room."
"Liu Zi, hurry up and pack your things to go dig wild vegetables with dad.”
"Xiao Liuzi, don't just stand there like a fool. Quickly go dig with your third brother and seventh sister.”
"Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother! Go, go!"
When the dazed Sixth Brother heard these words, tears immediately welled up in his eyes. He sobbed and said,"Dad, Mom!" Wait for me, brother and sister, don't run so fast! Brother, Sister! Don't go!"
He moved his numb legs and turned to walk into the house. Then, he waved his hand into the room. One, two! Then, there was no more movement. He looked at the ground and saw that Sixth Brother was sprawled on the ground.
At this moment, outside the Sixth Family's wall. A yellow-faced man wearing a tattered black cotton coat and gray cotton pants walked in. He carefully walked up to Sixth Brother and squatted down.
"Liu 'er! Liu 'er! What's wrong with you, what's wrong with you!" Seeing that Sixth Brother didn't move and was foaming at the mouth from time to time, he let out another laugh.”
The village was not too big, but the layout was very particular. Two straight central roads ran through the north, south, east, and west of the village. All the rooms faced south, except for one. It was the ancestral hall located in the middle of the village. Unlike other buildings, this ancestral hall was extremely solemn. Green bricks and black tiles, white stone and red door. However, even though one could see the glory of the ancestral hall from its current appearance, it was extremely dim now.
Twilight gradually invaded the village, and the road was dark. However, young men and middle-aged men walked out of their homes one after another and walked to the central avenue. They looked at each other and did not say anything else. They walked towards the ancestral hall from four directions.
Seeing this, the silly child smiled indifferently. He looked at Sixth Brother on the ground and calmly moved Sixth Brother to the corner of the wall. He covered Sixth Brother with the corn stalks in the corner. After hiding slightly, he quickly followed the team outside the door and walked to the ancestral hall together.
A wooden door suddenly opened and a square-faced man jumped out. It was originally a white but yellowed vest, and underneath it was a pair of black tied-up pants and black cloth shoes.
However, before the man could turn around and leave, a soft voice came from behind him." Brother Song, can you not go?!" Did the chief say anything?"
When the man heard this, he stopped walking and looked at the woman walking over behind him. He couldn't bear to say,"Qing-er! I don't know either! The clan leader wants us to go, so we can't not go. Only in this way can I marry you.”
"Brother Song, yes! Alright then, go ahead! No matter what, I'll wait for you." The woman said affectionately.
"Okay, wait for me, Qing 'er."
After saying that, the man steeled his heart and let go. Without looking back, he followed the group in the direction of the ancestral hall and disappeared from Qing 'er's sight along with the sparse flow of people.
