Chapter 48 48. Back to nature

The body floated up by itself at ten o'clock the next morning, but not at the place where she drowned, but at a distance from where she drowned. It was a fisherman who came up from a bend in a river three miles away and found the body, and the body floated beside his boat.he ran to There was a lot of noise on the shore, so many people came to see it, and of course they saw a person in a dark green swimsuit, with face, arms and thighs all covered. A corpse as white and fat as a fish maw.People immediately reported to the water police station, water police station quickly notified him, Ask him to identify the body.Yesterday evening, Ma Min used his mobile phone to ask the Shuishang police station for help, asking them to send someone to retrieve the body.they are coming

Two people came in a motorboat, and organized a few fishermen to cast nets to salvage. They were busy until two o'clock in the morning, but they didn't catch anything. arrive.Ma Min didn't sleep all night. At around two o'clock, when two policemen from the Shuishang Police Station and several fishermen scattered without finding anything, After leaving, he, his father-in-law, mother-in-law and aunt were still sitting by the dark and empty river, enjoying the caress of the river wind.he ass He didn't feel anything, the wet pants on his body had already been dried by the river wind.The father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't believe him and kept asking the foreigner

Granddaughter, how her mother drowned.The daughter couldn't explain clearly, but there was one thing that reassured Ma Min. The daughter said: "My father and I swim here, and my mother swims there." If his daughter didn't say that, Ma Min thought, then he would be numb. annoyed. His father-in-law, mother-in-law and sister-in-law all looked at him with hatred, as if he had killed their daughter.Father-in-law's pair His eyes were full of killing intent, and Ma Min felt that if he held a shell gun in his hand, maybe the bullets would shoot into him chest up.During the Anti-Japanese War, my father-in-law once held a shell gun and killed four Japanese soldiers in a fit of rage!just because

Three of the four Japanese soldiers gang-raped his sister.It's his daughter now, and it's no joke. Ma Min is afraid of his father-in-law's eyes, those eyes can do anything, those eyes are like the dark barrel of a gun pointing at him sternly. What kind of gaze was that? It was full of heart-pounding hatred. "Fortunately he doesn't have a pistol in his hand," Ma Min said to Zhou Xiaofeng who came over the next afternoon, "Otherwise I would have died long ago. Now I think of my old revolutionary Yue Father, still in a cold sweat, this is an era of peace. "

At this moment, Ma Min and his aunt rushed to the place told him by the Shuishang police station, driving his Santana.aunt pregnant sat hostile behind him, not beside him. Ma Min insisted on going there by car.He knew that no car would be willing to carry a corpse, people are a bit superstitious these days, Taboo stained with bad luck.If he doesn't drive there, the body won't come back.Of course there is another way to get the corpse back, that is Call the crematorium and ask the crematorium to drive to the body.But he didn't want to take the crematorium's car to drag dead bodies back home.

At home, he is also afraid of bad luck.He forced himself to cheer up and drive, and half an hour later, the car drove to the river bend. A policeman from the water police station received him. "Are you here to identify the corpse?" the policeman looked at him and said. Ma Min only had the strength to say two words: "Yes." The policeman led him to a shade tree.The corpse lay in the shade, covered with a bed of tattered and dirty mats, But this bamboo mat is very short, from the top of the head to the thighs, two swollen white feet are exposed outside, the toes To the sky.The policeman stopped moving when he walked under the tree two meters away from the corpse, with an expression on his face that he dared not go up.

Affection. "Go up and see Luo yourself." Ma Min went up, and his aunt followed suit.Judging from the two exposed feet, one hundred of them are not Wang Shan, because Wang Shan didn't have such fat feet, so my aunt hesitated, not daring to move the tattered mat under her feet.Ma Min knows At this time, I was afraid that I would do it again, so I squatted down and lifted the terribly sloppy mat: a white, fat, apple-like The face displayed in front of him and his auntie was just like gray flour, without a trace of blood; the eyes, nose, and mouth, although Although they are somewhat deformed (a little bigger than when they were alive), they are clearly Wang Shan's eyes, nose and mouth.aunt called out

"Sister", immediately knelt down and fell on the corpse desperately, "Sister woo woo woo woo woo, sis Sister woo woo woo..." Ma Min didn't cry, for some reason, he looked stupidly without crying, and frowned deeply. What's the point of crying, he thinks?Death is a phenomenon of returning to nature. On the contrary, for Wang Shan, it is a kind of relief. take off.Wang Shan is not happy living in this world, he thought, strictly speaking he does not love her, he once loved her, but now He just sympathized with her.Before she got crazy, she didn't know the purpose of life, and she was full of fear of the world.

A fearful woman, the arrogance on her face is an illusion, an illusion to cover herself and resist the attack of others!her pride Just a piece of flesh-colored paper with no self-confidence inside, like a beautiful doll stuffed with rags like.Now the face is calm, no worries and no fear of the future.the year the body was found The young fisherman came up and looked at his crying aunt and Ma Min who was standing aside stupidly. "Is this your guest?" he asked, He stared darkly at Ma Min. Ma Min didn't answer him, still wondering why she wanted to die so she died.The fisherman said on the side: "I found her

At that time, her two legs waxed into a ball.I straightened her foot. " "Thank you." Ma Min said in a low voice. "She drowned with leg cramps," said the fisherman, "I have an acquaintance who also drowned with leg cramps. In fact, that friend of mine is very good at swimming, and was able to cross the Xiangjiang River when he was only fifteen years old.But one day, after picking the sand, he Smelly and sweaty, he jumped into the water without doing any preparations before swimming. The fisherman spat loudly, "The result is leg cramps." The tendons are drowned, and when you pick it up, your legs are curled up like your guest's. "

Ma Min was not in the mood to listen to the fisherman's story, and sat down on the grass feeling tired... The body was on the fisherman's bed With the help (Ma Min gave the young fisherman a thousand dollars), he moved into the back seat of the Santana and lay down because of his feet Unable to put it in, I had to bend the legs of the corpse again, and then closed the door.My aunt is sitting next to the cab, with a teary face With her face facing the back, she was already crying so hard that her throat was hoarse.Ma Min was driving the car, his eyes were twitching, he was already thirty Haven't closed my eyes for hours.He had the feeling of vomiting several times, and the acid water in his stomach rushed to his throat several times, but He swallowed it successfully again.The car drove onto the Xiangjiang River Bridge. It was already lunch time, and there was nothing on the road. What kind of vehicle, the car passed the Xiangjiang Bridge smoothly, turned onto the Yanjiang Avenue, then ran towards the south gate, and then turned onto the Shuyuan Road, soon the car came back steadily under his exhausted driving.Ma Min vomited as soon as he got out of the car, squatting Beside the gutter, vomited wah-wah-wah, and vomited out all the water in the gall.When Ma Min bowed up, the body had been covered The father-in-law and brother-in-law got out of the car and put it in the shadow of the building, where it was immediately covered with a beautiful bed sheet.horse Min's family lived on the fourth floor, so it was impossible to lift the corpse up to the fourth floor, because it would mean having to carry it down again.And the second floor, the third The neighbors in the building may not agree to the corpse passing through the door. This is the virtue of people nowadays.The neighbor on the third floor is very close to his father-in-law Implicitly said, "It's right here, you have to move it up and down again. Why bother? It's good to put it here, so as to save others have opinions. He just didn't say, "I don't allow you to carry the corpse back and forth past my door." Of course my father-in-law knew His thoughts, his virtue of humbly abandoning all these things, have already appeared on his face. Ma Min glared at the young man and said nothing. This young man has always made him hate him. This disgusting emotion rose to a hostile one. At this time, his thoughts were to calm down and end all this as soon as possible. He didn't feel much pain over his wife's death.In the past three years, my wife has lived in her own world, although this "world" is close to her She loves him, but she will always be next door to him, with an invisible steel plate in between, preventing him from entering her world go. In the afternoon Zhou Xiaofeng and Miss Deng came.Zhou Xiaofeng hung up the phone and told him that Manager Wang was looking for him.Ma Min said to Zhou Xiaofeng: "My wife drowned while swimming yesterday afternoon. I leave it to you to handle matters on the construction site." Zhou Xiaofeng put down the phone and said Called Miss Deng.Zhou Xiaofeng didn't dare to look at the corpse, this disillusioned man was very sensitive to corpses, he He was afraid that he would have nightmares at night, so he didn't watch it. "I dare not look," he admitted honestly. "I am most afraid of seeing a corpse. Whenever I see a corpse, I have nightmares." "Then don't look at it." Ma Min said, "I'm very grateful for your presence." My daughter woke up during their conversation. She didn't sleep much last night, but she woke up again this morning. In the morning, Ma Min When I went to the river bend to identify the body, my daughter finally couldn't stand it any longer and fell asleep on the bed.Now she woke up automatically, she rubbed her two Walking over with pine eyes, "Dad," she looked at Ma Min, "where's my mother?" "Your mother has gone to another world." Ma Min said, not wanting to deceive his daughter. "Is mother dead?" The daughter glared at Ma Min. "It's not that it's dead, it's that it's returned to nature." Ma Min said to his daughter, "People come from nature. It is time to return to nature.Human beings are just tiny beings in nature, and they all have to return to nature in the end. " "Dad, I don't want you to die." The daughter understood, "Dad, I want mom. Where's mom?" "Your mother has gone back to nature." Zhou Xiaofeng also helped Ma Min and explained to her, "We all have to go back to nature." Ma Yantian, we will all go back, and you will also go back in the future. " "I want a mother," the daughter cried, "I want a mother, I want a mother, where is my mother..." Ma Minwang Looking at her daughter, she felt the spiritual pain of her daughter, who lost her mother when she was less than seven years old. "Don't cry, dad very sad. He said to his daughter, "Daddy wants you to be strong, do you hear me, don't cry." " My aunt came up because the hearse from the crematorium came.The weather is very hot, the corpse can't just be left downstairs like this, Downstairs neighbors also have issues.Ma Min nodded.The daughter cried even louder when she heard that her mother was going to be burned, woo woo woo Woo, crying like hell. "I want mommy..." Ma Min thought it was better to let her daughter see her mother for the last time As a matter of fact, he led his daughter downstairs.The daughter walked over crying, seeing her grandparents frowning bitterly, she was even more unhappy Weeping uncontrollably.Ma Min led his daughter to the corpse, and his father-in-law tearfully lifted the sheet. When the daughter saw the mother's sheet The disfigured face cried even harder. "Mommy mommy mommy oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." The daughter screamed and cried, broke away from Ma Min's hand, and fell on top of her.At this time Ma Min was taken aback, because the two noses of the corpse Two streams of bright red blood flowed out of the hole, and amidst the crying of the daughter, the blood, which was like a living person, slowly gushed out. As soon as he said that, the sides of that fair white face were bright red.Ma Min was stunned by this phenomenon, staring at the two Bleeding nostrils, why did the two nostrils of the dead body bleed when the daughter cried?Ma Min's tears came out, he did not Knowing what was going on, he didn't want to cry, but he was infected by his daughter's crying. "Don't cry," he cried to his daughter, his voice trembling, "It's useless to cry, don't cry, don't cry." The daughter was still crying loudly, and the father-in-law picked up the granddaughter and pulled her aside. Two crematorium workers came up, carried the corpse into the green iron coffin, and then carried the iron coffin onto the coffin. car.The father-in-law handed his granddaughter to the tearful mother-in-law, and hurried to the cab of the hearse with his youngest daughter.daughter fight Weeping and calling for her mother, the mother-in-law held her granddaughter tightly in her arms.Ma Min watched all this with tears in his eyes. The door slammed shut, and the hearse drove slowly on the way it had come.Ma Min knew very well in his heart that his wife's departure would be a big problem. Will not be coming back.He thought of what the two said on the beach yesterday, and the last words his wife said, "I don't I want to hear you accuse me" and "You hate ammonia", thinking of his wife's sad eyes before she passed away, he was extremely sad He lowered his head, covering his face and weeping in pain. It is a gloomy day, the sky is that endless iron gray, no wind, no people Because of the noise, the temperature is thirty-four degrees Celsius, so it looks miserable and depressed; the second floor of the building opposite, in the hearse After leaving, it may be intentional to drive away today's gloom, or it may be unintentional because of boredom. The music was playing, a soft and sad song sung by Su Rui - "Holding Hands", flew out from the door and window of that house, Floating in the depressing air between the two buildings - "So I held hands, and we will walk together in the next life, so I have a companion There is no time to turn back", Ma Min's two ears recorded the tune of this song very well. For many days and on various occasions, when he heard this song, he was reminded of this sad day stored in his memory. son!His mood immediately became very bad, and his face was of course extremely sour...
