Chapter 107, Story (Please recommend)
Grandma He had been sitting in the main room. She really couldn't sleep at this time and had something on her mind.
But I gradually got used to it. I encounter it every year, so I have to get used to it. After so many years, if I am not used to it, I will drive myself crazy.
When Mei Xue came over, she saw two cups of hot water on the table, one cup in her grandmother's hand and the other on her right.
"Grandma, why don't you go to bed?" Mei Xue seemed to notice something was wrong with her grandma. "Grandma, is there something wrong?"
Grandma He raised her head and looked at the person who walked to her side. "It's okay." She shook her head slightly: "Sit down quickly, drink some hot water, don't catch a cold."
Mei Xue obediently sat down next to her grandmother, picked up the water and took a sip. It was a little hot, but she could bear it.
Because she only drank a little.
"Grandma, you can tell me anything." Seeing that her grandma was in a low mood, Mei Xue felt a little helpless.
Hearing Xiaoxue's voice, Grandma He smiled at her, "Xiaoxue, do you want to sleep?"
Mei Xue shook her head, "No."
"Can I listen to grandma tell me a story?"
"Well, I listen to grandma telling stories."
Mei Xue knew that her grandma was worried, but she didn't want her to sit here and talk all the time. It was late at night, and the wind and rain were strong outside. She was afraid that she would catch a cold. "Grandma, can I sleep with you tonight?"
Grandma He looked at Mei Xue with a smile and nodded, "Okay, let's go to the bed and talk."
The story is not as exciting as others, but it is also Grandma He’s own experience.
It tells the story of her and her husband. There is not much romance, but they are happy together.
Unfortunately, this is where the sadness begins.
People were poor at that time, and every family could not get enough food. Only a handful of people could marry a wife, let alone how good life would be when a new daughter-in-law came into the family.
Some live worse than their parents’ home, while others live better than their parents’ home.
Grandma He herself lives a life worse than her own family.
But everyone has gone through this, and she had no intention of resisting. Besides, He Xing'an was very nice to her at that time.
The couple slowly got through the days.
They welcomed the birth of their son. At that time, every family ate from a big pot, so they no longer had to worry about not being able to feed their son.
But there were a lot of things to do and the work was very stressful.
Gradually, after raising their son, they were separated, and then they built their own house and found a wife for their son. Life in this small family was not very good, but it was very warm.
But this warmth did not last long, as the trend of house searches in the city gradually spread to the countryside.
Red sleeves are everywhere.
We have to be careful in everything we do.
Maybe their family lives too well and someone is jealous, but Grandma He still hasn't found out who it is.
Just because someone was jealous, her man lost his life. Not only that, but their son and daughter-in-law were also implicated.
The reason was very simple. There were much more wild animals in the mountains at that time than there are now. People were poor then and there were few things to eat. What should they do when they are hungry?
Of course, find a way to go up the mountain.
After the edible things in the mountains were gradually eaten up by the villagers, the wild beasts in the mountains were not happy.
What if they have no food?
There are a lot of people on the mountain, so of course they eat people.
At that time, there were wild boars, wolves, and even tigers.
In order to survive, many people in the village were injured or lost their lives.
But what else can they do? They must stay alive.
Only by living can you have a future.
Because Grandma He's family is a hunter, many people in the village envy He Laosan, and He Xing'an is also a smart person.
He learned a lot from his father-in-law.
If his father-in-law's house wasn't quite far from theirs, perhaps he could have learned more.
In this way, the animals in the mountains came down and bit people. How could the villagers be willing to do it? In addition, there was not much food, so their desire for meat became even more serious.
The village began to organize young and middle-aged people to resist the wild boars and wolves.
Although it happened decades ago, Grandma He still remembers it vividly.
"You don't know, those wolves were so skinny from hunger, but the wild boar was right in front of them, but they just refused to eat it, as if they were fighting with humans."
When she said this, Grandma He shuddered, and Mei Xue felt her trembling.
"Don't be afraid. There are no wolves now. No more."
Mei Xue comforted her.
"Yes, the wolves are still there, but they were later driven into the mountains, which is the mountain behind the Wild Boar Peak. The place was later called Wolf Peak by the villagers." When she said this, Grandma He looked at Xiaoxue with a worried look on her face.
"Xiaoxue, grandma knows that you are a capable person and you like to go to the mountains, but you must not go to Wolf Peak. You have to remember this, remember, okay?"
Maybe because she was afraid, Grandma He held Mei Xue tightly with both hands.
Mei Xue felt the strength in her hand. She could push it away lightly, but she couldn't.
Perhaps she was stimulated, Grandma He refused to let go until she got Mei Xue's answer.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, grandma. I won't go." He was indeed very interested in the Wolf Peak, but now it was most important to comfort his grandma. "Don't worry, grandma. I won't go."
After comforting her, Mei Xue stayed close to her grandmother and never let go of her hand.
Grandma He began to talk about the past again.
For the first time, the villagers did not gain any benefits, they were injured and some even died.
Later, some people who were jealous of her family came up with an idea. They wanted He Lao San to take the lead because he knew how to hunt, which was a life-threatening thing. Of course, Grandma He disagreed.
But what can I do if I don’t agree?
Everyone in the village is tempted by the meat. If you don't go, you will be the enemy of the whole village.
The stalemate lasted for a few days, and then the animals in the mountains began to attack the village again.
He Xing'an had no choice but to stand up. In order to protect his wife and children, he had to go even if he was afraid of death.
In this way, he took a group of people into the mountains for four or five days. When they came back, He Xing'an found a dead body.
When Grandma He saw this, she seemed to know the consequences. She looked around at those who had gone into the mountain together. None of them were standing there properly.
Some people had wounds on their bodies, some didn't even have wounds, but her man was dead.
There wasn't a single piece of good flesh on his body, and if it weren't for the recognizable face, she wouldn't have believed that this was her man.
He Anze had not been born at that time, but his mother was already pregnant with him. In this way, the family welcomed a new life, but also sent away the pillar of the family.
I don’t know if it was God’s will, but after this encirclement and suppression, the wild animals in the mountain never came down again.
Life in the village began to become peaceful.
Only Grandma He knew that there must be a murderer among that group of people who killed her man. Unfortunately, after so many years, she still didn't find out who it was. Those people all remained silent about what happened in the mountain.
