The last Onmyoji

Chapter 63 Debt

But what the fat man said about my second uncle’s problem, I can understand, now anyone with a discerning eye can see my second uncle’s problem, but where is my old lady’s problem” Because she pretended to be stupid for more than 20 years, and then suddenly realized today ?

"What's the matter with my mother, you tell me." I said to the fat man.

"Fatty, let me be honest, don't feel bad, no matter what I look at, I look at your mother, she doesn't look like a person." The fat man looked at me and said.

"Not like who?" I wondered.

"Who am I? I don't look like a person. A person!" said the fat man.

I immediately covered his mouth and said, "This is the end of the matter, I don't want to hear it anymore!" Because the more I listened, the more frightened I became. If the second uncle used to be the most mysterious person in my family, his mysterious Because of his background, his demeanor does not seem to belong to someone who can be treated at Linjiazhuang with peace of mind.I have no way of knowing the purpose of his coming to Linjiazhuang, but I know sensitively that he must have come with a certain purpose.

But my mother's reversal today makes my head still dizzy when I think about it.

23 years ago, my father spent 300 yuan to buy my mother back. At that time, 300 yuan was an astonishing figure, almost all the savings of the family, but this is also relatively speaking.

I also said that my mother was a dementia when I bought it, but when my father bought a new dress for my mother and went back to the village, half the people in the village were drooling. An extremely beautiful and dignified person, very much like the ladies on TV during the Republic of China period.

But when everyone is coveting my mother's beauty and envying my father, they will say sour grapes if they can't eat grapes: "What's so good about him? That's a fool." During the time, the fact that I was admitted to university was quite inspirational in the surrounding villages. People would say, look at my mother is a fool, the child can be admitted to university, I am not stupid, why is the child so unbelievable Woolen cloth?

I have said so much, it can be summed up in one sentence.

For a beautiful but foolish woman, in the market 23 years ago, 300 yuan was a lot, really a lot. ——My father was quite handsome when he was young. He was not the kind of person who could not marry a wife. At that time, appearance and hard work were the only criteria for judging a man. Girls were not so realistic yet. Unfortunately, appearance and hard work, father Both, so at that time there were many people who didn't understand my father Lin Yutang, you couldn't find any woman, but you found a fool?Still spent 300 yuan?

Mother's beauty is not only worth three hundred, but because she is a fool, it can only be worth three hundred.

I have always thought this way, since I was a child, I have thought about this problem many times. If my mother is not stupid, because of her appearance and personality, my father would definitely not be able to afford her at that time.

However, my vision became a reality at this time, and I found that I still couldn't answer this question.

A not stupid and beautiful woman, why was 300 yuan bought by my father?
23 years ago, the folk customs were relatively simple, but I also heard that there was a phenomenon of buying and selling people at that time, but now I see my mother, not only is she not stupid, but she is also quite wise.

If she was abducted by human traffickers at that time and forced to come to our village, then why can she be so quiet for more than 20 years, and let everyone, even her own son, think she is a fool, and never speak out to justify?
I suddenly discovered that the biggest mystery in our family is not the second uncle, but my old mother. One only knows that she was bought for 300 yuan, but she doesn’t know her past. How can she act like a fool in Linjiazhuang? 20 How many years?

When I think of this place, I feel extremely cold. I can’t see through my second uncle, I don’t know whether I dare to believe it, it doesn’t matter, he is an outsider, no matter how he integrates into my life, it will take time, but what about my mother?A person I have known for more than 20 years suddenly overturned all my impressions of her.

At this moment, I, Lin Xiaofan, suddenly realized that I don't even know my own old lady.

But this is my own mother, I am also happy that she can suddenly become normal, so I don't want to hear the fat man talk about her problems, how should I put it, this is my own choice to deceive myself.

"Go and see my second uncle." I said to the fat man.

Fatty has a delicate heart, he knew the choice I made at this time when I covered his mouth, he glanced at me, and didn't say anything.The two of us went out together, went straight to the threshing floor, and went to see my second uncle, what was he going to do again.

Before we reached the threshing ground, we saw the shambling figure of the second uncle walking over. When he saw us, he said in a deep voice, "Go, go back."

After saying this, his whole body went limp.

At this moment, the fat man raised his head and saw the two bright moons in the sky, gradually merging into one. He also breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, I don’t know what happened tonight, but seeing the fat man’s expression makes me feel relaxed down.

Is it finally over?

We helped our second uncle back home, and when we got home, we saw my grandma, supported by Lin Xiaoyao, with red eyes and dull eyes.Too many things have happened in such a period of time, which made this very aggressive old man cry his tears. Grandma was originally a person who had no feelings for the second uncle. She usually just acquiesced in his presence in this family, but she never talked to him. have spoken.At this time, seeing the second uncle who was carried back by Fatty and me, grandma said, "Xiaofan, is your second uncle?"

"Just passed out, nothing will happen." I said to grandma with red eyes.

Overnight, two men lay down in my house, which is a disaster for a family.

At this time, the people at home seem to be busy, but they have no idea what they are busy with. If it is an ordinary patient who faints, it must be sent to the hospital as soon as possible. But in such a situation, we don’t even know what they have experienced. Know, how to prescribe the right medicine.

Father cannot be alarmed.

Second uncle fainted, when will he wake up?

"It's getting late, it's time to go to sleep! The sky is falling, our old Lin's family can't resist!" Grandma suddenly spoke at this time, and she couldn't tolerate others' doubts.

I don't want to disobey the intention of this old man pretending to be strong. Although such a big thing happened now, we still went back to our own rooms, looking at the second uncle who was lying next to me, and the father next door who was hanging by a thread. , I, the college student in the eyes of the villagers, completely panicked.Before I knew it, I fell asleep holding my head.

That night, I had another dream. I dreamed that my grandpa was kneeling at the door of my house. No matter how I talked to him, he would not look up. He was wearing a dark green, blue and white shroud.

Kneeling at the door and sobbing softly.

When I woke up from the dream, I opened my eyes and saw my second uncle looking at me with open eyes. I said, "Second uncle, when did you wake up?"

"Just now." The second uncle straightened up.

I fell silent all of a sudden, I had a thousand words to ask, but I couldn't open my mouth when my second uncle was at his weakest.

"Xiaofan, I know, you must have a lot of doubts about me, and I do have a lot of things to hide from you, and it's not time to say it yet, but there is one sentence, I never thought of harming the Lin family, your grandpa His death is related to me, but it is definitely not my wish." The second uncle said slowly.

"It's okay, take care of yourself first." Hearing him say that, I felt deeply helpless.

"Actually last night, your father was in a doomsday situation. It's not certain whether he will wake up." The second uncle said.

"Second uncle, I don't want to talk about this now. What I regret most now is why I didn't listen to my grandfather's advice and why I didn't move out of Linjiazhuang. If I left early, you and my dad would be fine." I said in a low voice.

"It can't be avoided, it's a debt, and it has to be repaid." The second uncle said to me quietly.

This is debt, this is God's will, this is fate.These three sentences are the most frustrating words I have ever heard in my life. After all, like ***, you can say the soul-stirring joy of fighting against the sky and the earth.
