In an untidy room, in a house with one floor and one floor, the kerosene lamp on the table is yellow.

According to the dizzy xing, all the objects are blurred and dim, as if they have added some gloom instead. Sit at the table

An old woman, holding a child about two years old. That old woman is an ordinary person,

Although there are several wrinkles on my forehead, it is not necessarily how I get old. It's just that her eyes are a little

Strange, sunken eyes, red tendons supporting the ground, shining; Look at the child's face with dilated pupils and decide.

Place, sad absence. She watched the child's ruddy face turn pale because of the sudden blow.

The muscles are also much looser.

Recently, children are particularly fond of crying, just like when breastfeeding repeatedly six months ago. As if to give someone a sudden surprise.

However, I ran into it, and somehow, I opened my voice and shouted. It's hard to stop when you start,

Like cicadas in summer. The old woman comforted her children in every way and comforted her when she was young.

These names were recited one by one. But the effect is not very good. It seems that children think those are too old and clumsy.

Until he lost his strength, he sobbed and let his eyelids open and close for a while, and finally closed.

it's over

Tonight, the old woman seems to feel particularly comforted; At this time, the child's crying has not yet opened.

Field, if tired to sleep, isn't it a rare quiet night? On the other hand, however,

noodle She felt particularly uneasy; I don't know what Ah Di, who will be back soon, said, and I don't know how many days.

Wake up, if the poor baby falls to the ground in the dream. In the evening, in her opinion, these days are really

It's hard to see the spark in the faint yellow light except the crying of the child.

Image. Sometimes I seem to see a bright red beach, here or there-this is blood! In the sea/sea

Outside, the car sped by, and the heavy van rang the iron wheel rhythmically, as if she had seen one.

A car is carrying two bound people, their hands and feet are bound by heavy chains. door

At first, heavy footsteps passed by, and she always felt afraid and thought she was looking for her.

Here comes the baby. The sound of the knocker next door made her heart jump. I was already very young.

At the age of sleep, she was so nervous that she tasted terror and couldn't sleep for a moment. While sleeping,

Light is not the most important thing. She is afraid that the light upstairs will stir up another right and wrong. I wish it was clean before,

It was completely dark. However, it was useless. Those faintly shining images still appeared, a bright red beach.

Or the setting sun seems to swell there. Therefore, I must hold fast to my dream.

Sometimes a whimpering child ..

At this time, she stared at the child, and in her weak and traumatic brain, a sea of fog appeared.

Infinite future. Which way is the road? She can't recognize a dime. Afraid of some wild animals or

Is the trap hidden in this foggy sea? She thinks she will. In the adventure, this is the only one.

Children who can learn words; Like a lonely person. She didn't dare to think again, and asked the child bored, "Is it big?

Male, what's your last name? "

"Zhang." The big man answered casually. When the child has not understood the meaning of the surname, his own

Surnames are often used as oral idioms by coaches, just as they are used to addressing their parents.

"no! No! " The old woman gently reprimanded. She thinks he is not familiar with his new class, which is a bit

My son was so worried that he had to correct it again. He said, "Don't talk nonsense, that Zhang! Let me teach you, male surname.

Remember on Sunday, Sun, Sun .. "

"Sun." The man didn't insist. He looked up at the old woman's face and learned to say:

Pronunciation is childish with twelve points.

The old woman's eyes closed heavily twice; Her tears almost dried up and her eyes closed.

Closing means a burst of acid in my heart, and I feel all the feelings when I cry. "Yes, surnamed Sun,

I'll ask you again on Sunday. What's Big Man's last name? "

"Sun." At the same time, the man reached for the jade hairpin on the old woman's head.

"Good boy, good boy." The old woman hugged the big man tightly, and her face stuck to his flower.

Foreign cloth shirt. "Ask casually, you say your surname is Sun, you say your surname is Sun ..." The voice trailed off.

The big man's arm was hugged by the old woman, and he couldn't take the Hosta. "Wow ..." Suddenly he cried.

Get up. The little body struggled desperately and burst into tears.

The old woman knows that the regular class will start again every night, and it has become a dream to pass safely, so she pretends to be soft.

The voice came to please him: "big man ... don't cry ... Hua came to see the big man ... sit down."

Cross the red bridge .. Come in a flower carriage .. "

As usual, the man ignored it, but his throat widened. "Wow ... mom ... mom!"

Ah .. "

This kind of crying makes the old woman sad and scared the most. Sadly, sound is like a needle, a needle.

Hold your heart. I am afraid that the walls of the house are very thin, and neighbors will be suspicious if they listen carefully. In that way

It is not easy to treat him; A "mother will come" who knows that it is invalid said with a trembling voice.

Besides, it just makes the big man cry louder and look around at his mother with watery eyes.

From there.

The old woman stood up and walked, holding the big man in her arms; Judging from her slowness.

Hard and heavy footsteps, it is true that she is a little old. She walked back and forth, reciting those.

Old and clumsy words to comfort children. Things in the room seem to shake with crying.

Let's move, the flame of the lamp seems to be getting bigger and bigger. -Ah, a pool of blood! She closed her tired eyes,

Dare not look again. Although there are children crying like tears in my ears, they are as quiet as a monster's empty mountain.

It's so quiet that my blood is cold.

Clap, clap, there was a knock at the door outside, and at the same time, the yellow dog lying under the opposite building was barking.

Cry loudly. She was startled, but then realized that the voice was very familiar. Ah Di must be back.

He hurried to open the door.

Just as the door opened a crack, people outside flashed in; Quickly, gently, turn around and close the door.

In fact, it seems to be on guard against something else.

"How?" The old woman asked calmly and anxiously. She can't wait for Adi to show her a heart.

Let her know everything he knows at once.

Adi walked into the room, looked around, then sat down and opened his mouth to catch his breath.

He is a businessman in his forties, and slender wrinkles are carved around his eyes to form a permanent smile.

His eyes are thin, his nose is not big, and sweat is shining on his forehead, but he feels cold.

..... How? Seeing the big man crying, he thought of some water chestnuts in the bag, but he touched them and gave them to him. You!'

Eat water chestnut, don't cry. "

The man was tired, and some water chestnuts were tempting, so he held out two small hands and accepted them.

Swallow the water chestnut. This makes the old woman still have to sit at the table.

"alas! I finally saw it. " Artie's forehead was sunken, as if he had completely lost his strength.

"See?" The old woman's eyes widened horribly and her heart was filled with grief.

Sad and spicy.

"I just saw it."

The old woman almost wanted to take Ah Di and lead her out to have a look, but terror told her that she shouldn't.

Kind of recklessness, so we have to be disappointed "Oh!"

"Elder sister, you said there were no good people in the world, didn't you? Not really, like today.

The brother I met the other day, he is a good man. "He praised with his right thumb.

"That's the man you went to see, isn't it?"

"Yes. I found him in a small teahouse. I told him politely that there was this.

Two people like this, I want to know. Now, man is finished, ask his grace and be merciful,

Tell me how to identify their coffins. "His eyebrows a wrinkly, originally there are wrinkles around the eyes.

More importantly, scratching your head and smacking your mouth at the same time means that it is not smooth. "But he ignored it and said goodbye.

Come on, a lot of people are finished, men, women, long sleeves and short sleeves. Who can remember clearly?

Two like this, two like that; Besides, coffins are not allowed to be recognized. Ever since I found him there

Willing to let go. I told him again and told him how pitiful these two people were: a husband and a woman.

Some are elderly mothers, and children cry in grandma's hands every day, calling for mom, mom, ..

Ask him to show some sympathy for the old and the young .. alas! Needless to say, I said it anyway.

Kneel down and kowtow to him. "

The old woman listened and looked down sadly at the child in her hand; Some children are sleepy.

The water chestnut has fallen into her sleeve.

"This sentence touched his heart." Adi continued to brag about the tone; permanent work

A real smile appeared on the smiling face, but then faded. "This is human, as long as it is.

People, talking to him, nothing makes sense. He didn't speak Mandarin as he did at first, but thought about it and sighed.

Gas said,' there are two such people. Who is not the darling of parents? It's sad to hear you talk,

I'll give you some advice. But a good couple, why not live uneasily, but do it?

Those activities! I said I didn't quite understand. We businessmen don't understand the thoughts of their students.

Probably-"

"Shh .." The old woman breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that her mind was too tight. She's with her

Adi doesn't understand her daughter's son-in-law's mind, but she clearly knows that they were born with the same face.

Those criminals who kill people without blinking an eye are by no means the same kind of people. Why do different people get the same result? this

It is a problem that she has been thinking about recently, which has caused great distress. But no one gave her an answer.

"He asked me to wait for him at a corner at six o'clock. I naturally appreciate it, but I dare not neglect it.

Go there early and wait. After six o'clock, he did come and changed his clothes.

He took me to the wild and talked with me all the way. Ah-"

He stopped. He dare not recall; However, those stories and experiences made him look like a loser.

Let him have to remember. He thinks that saying this will hurt Sister A's heart. Maybe she will.

Faint, unconscious. -two people go to the wild. There are no street lamps. There are no stars and moons in the sky, are there?

As dark as the darkness over your head. The shadows of trees and buildings in the distance do not move, like

The monster is in position. Occasionally, two or three fireflies float and sink. If it isn't a ghost dancing happily.

Do you have to blink? The barking of dogs is almost as far away as the whining of cars, as if at the end of the day. but

There is a small hiss in the air, which is the bug that killed them. It rained in the morning,

The wet mud is not easy to walk and can't be seen. Almost fell down several times. This brother has a piece of paper stuck to his lips.

The cigarette, while smoking, said faintly: "Neither of them is good, and they are not energetic, but they are still brought out."

You came shaking like two chickens. Your face is gray, you look at me, I look at you, tears are streaming,

If you want to talk, you can't. You know, we are afraid of such people. We are not afraid of war. Lift it up.

I think you should know how to draw a gun from time to time, but I'm afraid you can't lift it. The enemy is just ahead,

You don't know if they can open it. If people are tied in front,

You can see every hair and eyebrow clearly. If you want to do it, you are afraid. Nothing else, it was obvious in the end.

All this is in vain. What's more, those who have no spirit, tears splashed on their hands and kept shaking.

Your teeth are fragile. It's impossible. On that day, our brothers, the orders from above,

After shrinking several times, I frowned and went out with a bang. Well, small, almost certain, and in the middle.

On a man's arm. He struggled with pain. That woman shouted like a madman.

To tell you the truth, I don't feel good. I turned around and didn't want to watch it anymore. Ring three more times, and this is the result.

Two of them are covered in red. "The elder brother's narrative, listening to him as if to suffocate; leg

Stiff, afraid to put it down, as if stepping on a skeleton. However, we must go, only.

Keep good closely follow the footsteps of my brother, chest almost stick on his vest.

When the old lady saw Ah Di staring at her eyes and scratching her scalp, she got a fright and asked:

"What did he talk about? Did he see theirs? "

How did they "that", this question, she also thought for days and nights, but in the end.

Depression. Guns, yes, soldiers and policemen are all carried on their backs, and they are Ming Guan. That's definitely not what I meant .../Can I say that? ...

Is this something that belonged to my daughter's son-in-law? She doesn't believe it. The image of the daughter and son-in-law is all painted.

Draw a conclusion. Where should I eat a gun? She can't imagine. How does blood flow out of their bodies?

Come out? Gas, how to dissipate and finally cut off? These are all vague, like a hazy dream. because

So sometimes she thinks that her daughter and son-in-law really don't have that, and one day, take, take,

The sound of knocking at the door is their unique tone. When they came in, they were two lovely people living side by side.

But I just feel too, a little vague, like a hazy dream.

"He didn't see it." Artie quickly dodged. "He said that man is very generous, just a few clothes.

I gave them to a man, who got a pair of foreign trousers, and he was wearing them. "

"It's light gray. It was done in August last year. " Said the old woman, squinting at the lamp.

"I didn't see it clearly, because it was dark and there was no light in the field. The wet mud is really hard to walk, and it almost happened several times.

The child slides down; Fortunately, it's leather shoes, otherwise it must be soaked. Go somewhere, he said. I am very careful.

It is clear that more than a dozen big black trees are standing over there, and a dead white thing under the tree is a coffin. "

He lowered his head, his bald forehead shining in the light. By the two brothers "seventeen, eighteen.

No, you go to recognize "instructions and walked to the coffin mood, he dare not say, also.

Can't say. All kinds of terrible bodies, frowning and biting teeth, shoulders and chest cracked, nose opened.

Flowers, broken legs, as if to kick open the coffin board and hit him together. Be in a super good mood

Almost numb with fear. Or my brother struck a few matches to remind him that "this is you."

Look, seventeen, eighteen, "he looked at the whiteboard by the small fire in confusion. At first it seemed

A snake-like thing that creeps and moves. If you look closely, it won't move. This is written in ink and pen.

Side, eighteen, two foreign numbers. "My nephew and daughter, I see you here," he prayed silently and looked.

She didn't follow and quickly fled back to the path. -these don't say, he wants to settle, so he said:

"He said that numbers were written on the coffin, and he remembered very clearly that 17 and 18 were both of them. Let's chase it

Once I recognized it, recognized it, and put it horizontally and vertically, with foreign numbers seventeen or eighteen on it. "

"Seventeen, eighteen!" The old woman cried with joy, with a sad face and bright eyes.

The only tears for you. She relived the experience that the man quietly came to announce the bad news that night.

Taste; Panic, sadness, dizziness, cold, all kinds of mixed together, let her feel strange and empty.

Virtual, the body seems to be floating, not leaning on anything. She knows to knock, knock, knock.

Sound is their special tone. When they came in, they were two lovely people living side by side. This kind of thing.

There will never be It's been put away, 17th and 18th. This is hard evidence!

A flame of resentment rose in her empty heart, and her eyes under the tear film sparkled like beasts.

Light, "that generation of damn things!"

Ah Di just looked at Sister A, but he turned around and sighed, "I think the coffin is good.

The board is not thin. "-is obviously a white lie. Somehow, at the same time, I suddenly got up.

Don't forget the number. I can't think about it any more, but this suspicion is still poisonous.

Into his heart.

"I tell you," the old woman gritted her teeth and shook her body. The hand of a sleeping child

He stretched out his arms as if to wake up, and then turned over. The old woman straightened the child's flowered shirt,

Then he said, "I don't want anything. I will die tomorrow or right away. " At this age, like this

Life! "The following turning point has lowered the low V .." Your niece was only five years old when your brother-in-law died.

It's not easy to bring her up as a person. I'm lonely. She's married,

I am glad that my son-in-law is a handsome man. She gave birth to a son, a clever and lively child.

My right hand subconsciously touched the child's head) I am glad. They are all happy to be teachers, and

I'm glad that love treats each other, because it's just like people. Alas! Like humans, it is 17 years old.

Eighteen! It's really a clearing, and it's so scary that my soul is scattered. For what? Is my daughter,

My son-in-law, let me know. I told you not to ask. Even you, that is, don't ask, ask.

It's not good. -What are you afraid of? I'm Zhang's mother-in-law, Yingchuan's mother, and I want to go shopping.

Shout, look who did what to me! "The fire of resentment burned almost all of her, and her voice was not considered.

Avoid sadness and loudness. She patted the child on the back and said, "What's Sun's name? Our male surname is Zhang.

Last name is Zhang! Ah! I only hate my inability to get rid of the damn things of that generation and report them to my young daughter and son-in-law.

Hate! "

Ah Di was shocked, with unspeakable fear, listening to the silence outside and encouraging him.

He said forcefully, "What does it matter? Just say your family name is Sun. -Oh, I think, "

He reached for his pocket. He remembered that just now on the dark road, his brother gave him a crumpled cardboard.

It is said that the man asked him to give it to his relatives, but forgot to put it in a foreign trouser pocket. his

If the hand is too soft to answer, in case of strange and secret magic things; It was hard not to answer it, so I slapped it with my palm.

Stand loosely and quickly stuff things into your pockets like a thief. As a result, the already anxious heart has increased.

The boss's discomfort.

"They have a note!" As he spoke, the sound of copper coins hitting came from his pocket.

"ah! Attention! " As soon as the old woman straightened up, she was very nervous all over. one

A desire (the desire that people knock at the door and rush out to meet) suddenly becomes complete.

Occupied her. The voice and smile of the daughter and son-in-law seem to have been cut off for a few days.

A few years. Now this note will tell them everything, answer her questions and let her and him.

Our hearts are connected, which naturally becomes her whole world at present.

The note was taken out. It was a torn Julian cigarette box with several fingerprints printed on it.

There is also a scorch mark of an eight-point scrawled pencil on the back.

Artie squinted and read the note near the kerosene lamp. "'today's son died, don't hate, please don't.

Reading. Before! That's weird. Without life, there is nothing to hate. Begging for the good and seeing the big.

Men, big men are waiting for children. They have no other meaning, please take a good look and raise a big man;

Said that the big shots were them, and the big shots were good, as if they were not dead. It's just strange that there's nothing to hate.

How strange! "He remembered what his brother told him, but also remembered" in another twenty years.

"The heroism of a dozen heroes. Since there is nothing to hate, why are you crying?

If it weren't for his niece's husband, he would be looked down upon.

"Show me," the old woman reached for the note and looked intently, like a bookworm trying to put it.

The book was completely swallowed. But she can't read.

The room is very quiet; The child's snoring is so subtle that it is almost unheard of.

Although she can't read, she can read this note. Not only do I understand it, but I also understand it.

Meaning, understand the mind of the daughter-in-law who has never understood. This is like a new life week.

Cloth body, the heart also feel full. Open your eyes and look around. Some familiar utensils are as usual.

Be quiet in the light. There is nothing outside but singing opera, which is in harmony with the circle.

Cooked huqin.

"Big man, my darling, go upstairs to sleep." She stood up and walked to the stairs, her lips closed.

On the top of the child's head, the note is pressed against the child's chest, and there is a maternal glow in his haggard eyes. The pace is better than that.

It used to be brisk. She has decided to bravely shoulder the responsibility of being a mother again.

"Wow .." The child woke up, didn't open his eyes, frowned and shouted, "Mom!

Ah .. "
