First line of life

Chapter 24 Who is My Mother?

At this time, Xia Mo and I entered the room together, and found that grandma was sitting in the lobby. I was slightly taken aback, and asked why grandma didn't rest?

Grandma's complexion was a little ugly. She glanced at me and said that there was no one in the house, so she couldn't sleep well.

My heart trembled, there was an inexplicable worry and sadness in grandma's words, and then I asked grandma if my dad hadn't come back yet?

The moment my voice fell, my dad's voice came from outside, and my dad asked me to take it out and help.

I ran out in a hurry and found that my dad was carrying a large bundle of book covers from an unknown tree, and my dad was naked and covered in sweat.

My dad disappeared during the day, and only now came back to get this thing?I took the thing off my dad and asked him what is it?
"Peach bark!" my dad said directly to me.

Frowning, my dad didn't know where to get so much peach bark, so my dad asked me to fetch a big wooden basin.

After I found it, I saw my dad soak all the bark in a wooden basin filled with water, and my dad went into the house after finishing.

I also hurriedly followed behind my dad and asked him where he went this afternoon?My dad took a look at me and said that this afternoon, he ran to several surrounding villages to find the bark of these peach trees.

When I asked my dad why he got the bark of these peach trees, my dad's face became a little heavy. After a moment of silence, my dad said two words directly to me: "It's useful!"

Specifically, my dad doesn't seem to want to reveal more to me, and Xia Mo wonders if it's because Li Manzi's soul was broken up, so his mood is a little low.

I knocked on the door, Xia Mo's voice came, and she let me in.

After I opened the door and walked into the room, I found Xia Mo sitting on the bed in a daze, so I stepped forward and comforted Xia Mo, "Okay, you don't have to blame yourself, this matter has nothing to do with you, blame the other party for being too cunning gone."

Xia Mo who heard the words frowned, and said to me: "Li Yiliang, do you know that we will know the truth soon, blame me, blame me for being too careless."

I quickly told Xia Mo that it really had nothing to do with her. Besides, didn't we also get a lot of useful information?
For example, Li Manzi has never met my mother, so he doesn't even know if what he spoiled is my mother's body?These are all clues.

After comforting her for a while, Xia Mo finally got better, and then I told her to have a good rest, saying that I would like to go to the village to inquire about my mother tomorrow.

Seeing Xia Mo nodded, I walked out of the room just now, but after returning to my room, I couldn't sleep all over. It's hard to imagine that an ordinary village like ours would So many weird things happen.

I took out the rag from the pocket of my clothes, frowned and watched. Who is the guy behind the scenes instigating Li Manzi?

And now, in my heart, I thought of what Li Mangyzi said before. When Xia Mo asked him, he actually said that he had already said it?

A bold thought arose in my heart, before Xia Mo and I, did someone already recruit Li Manzi's soul?Otherwise, I can't find another reason to explain what Li Laizi said.

If you really want me to guess someone, the first thing I think of is my dad, and now I can feel that my dad is a little unfathomable.

Xia Mo knows how to conjure souls, maybe my dad can too, and the possibility is very high. If it is true that my dad has already recruited Li Manzi's soul, then maybe my dad has already learned the truth from Li Manzi .

Can I find a time to ask my dad?After all, now that Li Manizi has lost his soul, this clue is completely cut off.

Thinking about it, a feeling of drowsiness came, and I temporarily let go of these things in my heart. There were too many doubts in my heart.

It is impossible to solve it completely in a short period of time, so we can only take it slowly. Now we are almost sure that the daughter Li Manzi spoiled is my mother, but this guy actually said that he has never seen it before?

I want to verify this point in the daytime tomorrow, so I have to go to bed early and rest before I can continue to do things tomorrow.

And when I fell asleep, I had another dream. This time, I dreamed of my grandpa. Grandpa had been dead for several days. This was the first time I dreamed of my grandpa.

In the dream, Grandpa still had the hideous face when he died. His face was ashen, staring at me, as if very angry.

I was very puzzled and asked Grandpa what happened?Grandpa stared at me and said hoarsely: "Didn't I tell you to run? Why are you disobedient, why are you disobedient? Do you know that you will die if you do this?"

After hearing what Grandpa said, I asked him what was going on?why should i runWho will harm me?

Grandpa kept shaking his head, looked at me with disappointment, and kept repeating in his mouth, let me run, the farther the better.

In the end, when Grandpa disappeared, I woke up suddenly and sat up from the bed, panting heavily.

At this time, I actually found that my body was already covered with cold sweat. I looked out the window and saw that the sky was already bright.

Now I couldn't fall asleep, so I just got up, and I heard a low voice coming from outside.

Going out quickly, I saw a wooden hammer in the handle, constantly beating the bark of the peach trees he soaked last night.

I walked up to my dad, and after taking a look at me, my dad got busy again. I asked my dad if he wanted my help, and my dad said he could just come by himself.

I had no choice but to nod and went to wash up. After a while, Xia Mo also got up. I went up and told Xia Mo that we will go to the village together in a while.

At this moment, grandma asked us to make breakfast quickly.After Xia Mo and I had eaten, we said we were going out for a walk, and when we got to the village, most of the people were sitting outside to bask in the sun.

Because on this day in June, the sun in the morning is very comfortable, but at noon, it gets a little basking in the sun, and it is extremely hot.

Originally, I should find a younger person to ask about the incident 18 years ago, because younger people have a better memory, but often the elderly prefer to put on a dragon's door array (meaning chatting).

I saw an uncle from my family smoking a pipe, so I went up to him, and I took out the cigarette rolls I had prepared in my pocket, which were all left by my grandfather.

"Uncle, try this!"

I handed the cigarette roll to this uncle, and lighted it for him by the way.

The uncle readily accepted it, and after taking a puff of the cigarette, he nodded and said that it was not bad, but it was a bit weak.

"In a blink of an eye, the children of Li Zhen's family are all this old, so it's time to go to the wife? I heard everyone say that your kid can go to college. Let's argue, our village has never had a college student!"

At this moment, my uncle looked at me, said with a smile, and then lamented that my grandfather left a little earlier, and said that my grandfather was a nice person.

After chatting for a while, I also spoke directly and asked my uncle, "Uncle, can you tell me who my mother is?"

However, what I didn't expect was that when I asked about this topic, my uncle frowned slightly and looked at me with a hint of puzzlement in his eyes.

"Are you so old? Didn't your dad mention it to you?"

Looking at the uncle in front of me, I shook my head and said that all I knew was that my mother died in childbirth.

The uncle sighed and said that my mother died in childbirth, but no one in the village has seen my mother because my mother died outside.

The moment I heard the news, I was so shocked that I was speechless. Did my mother die outside?How is that possible?Who was buried in the back mountain of our family?Isn't that my mother?

At this time, my uncle spoke out again, saying that my mother was recognized by my father when he was working outside, but when he came back, he only carried me back. He heard that my mother had a dystocia and left when she gave birth to me.

And because my mother died in the hospital, she was cremated.

My dad never brought my mother back halfway, so no one in the village knew what my mother was like. According to my uncle, my grandfather brought my dad back to every family.

During the period when I was growing up, please don't mention my mother's affairs, so as not to affect my growth.

After listening to my uncle say this, I was so shocked that even Xia Mo on the side frowned tightly and looked at me. I think we have the same thoughts in our hearts at this moment.

My mother was buried in the back mountain, but now my uncle told me that no one in the whole village has seen my mother?If my mother is cremated, then who is the one behind the mountain?

While my heart was shocked, I also hoped that my uncle might have a bad memory because he was getting old.

I bid farewell to my uncle, and asked two aunts, but to my surprise, the answer I got was the same as my uncle.

They have never seen my mother. My mother gave birth to me outside and died of dystocia, and was cremated.

After confirming this answer, I couldn't calm down in my heart. I never expected that things would have such a big turning point.

Even the people in the village don't even know my mother's name, and the grave in the back mountain doesn't even have a tombstone. I still don't know what my mother's name is.

Besides, who is buried in the tomb that I have worshiped for more than ten years?How many unknown secrets does our family have?
At this moment, I can't wait to walk towards my house. I want to ask my dad, what is going on with all this?

I want to ask my dad, how long will he keep it from me?At least let me know, who is my mother?Even if she died because of giving birth to me, I want to know, who is she?
