Chapter 8 Chapter Five: Thirty Years of Secrets Hidden in the Long March

In this peaceful grassland, apart from the whistling of the wind blowing across the grassland, there was not even a single sound of insects, and the sound of slapping sounded very clearly. My nerves were already tense, but when I heard this sound suddenly, I almost fell to the ground in fright, and stammered and asked the monkey: "This...what is this sound?" The monkey said calmly, "Throw the torch into the water." It wasn't until I realized that the dark grassland was full of dangers, and there were many dangers hidden in the darkness. Our torches became the biggest targets.

Immediately I threw the torch into the water, whereupon the light died, and we were plunged into complete darkness. The monkey grabbed me, and the two of us lay down on the wet grass, looking into the distance. The torch was suddenly extinguished, and I was still not used to it. I rubbed my eyes vigorously, but it was still pitch black, and I couldn’t see anything. The air was mixed with the smell of burnt wood and damp river water. As the torches were extinguished, the distant rattling stopped immediately.It was very quiet for a while, and even the sound of heartbeat could be heard. I didn't dare to take a breath, let alone talk to the monkey. I always felt like there was some monster hidden in the surrounding grass, and it would jump out at any time.I clutched the jackknife tightly in my hand, and my heart was beating so hard that it almost jumped in my throat.

After a while, when I almost couldn't help making a sound, the weird voice sounded again in the distance. This time we listened carefully, only to hear the sound of patter, patter, very regular.I thought the sound was very familiar, but I couldn't figure out what it was. I stretched my head and tried to look ahead. There was a shadow under the moonlight, and the grass was covered with a layer of fog, which was white, and I couldn't see what it was. The monkey listened carefully and said, "Hey, it's the sound of horseshoes!" I was taken aback, and immediately slapped my thigh, yes, this is the sound of horseshoes!Isn't that slapping sound the sound of horseshoes stepping on the grass!

Hearing the sound of horseshoes in the distance, I almost jumped up for joy.The sound of horseshoes means that there are people. In this ghostly place, what I want to see most is people. Whether he is an enemy or a friend, it is much better than facing those inhuman and ghosts on the grassland! However, I am also a little worried. We walked all the way, and there are wild grasses half a person's height everywhere, and there are stinky water bubbles wrapped in green hair and blisters. How can there be half a person?Besides, it's so late at night, who knows what the hell is coming?Maybe, the wild horses on the prairie have also become demons, that ghost thing!

The monkey reminded me with a sneer, how could there be people in a place where rabbits don't even poop?Let me put some bright spots in my tricks, and if the situation is not right, run away quickly, don't be stupid and send it to your door by yourself! In the dark, I was tense, somewhat expectant and somewhat nervous.I was holding a stone tightly in my hand, thinking that if the person who came there was not right, don't worry about him, I will give it a stone first and then talk about it!But the result was beyond our expectation. No one expected that it was Aunt Song who came.

Aunt Song rode a big maroon horse, galloping in the night, her hair was covered with moisture, and she was relieved to see that the monkey and I were safe. I don't know why Aunt Song came here, but I stammered, "Aunt Song... why are you here?" Monkey also looked at Aunt Song with a complicated expression, but didn't speak. Aunt Song didn't answer me, she quickly jumped off the horse, brushed her hair with her hands, looked around cautiously, and asked us directly: "Have you encountered it?" The "it" that Aunt Song said should be 魃, I nodded quickly and said, "I met it, I met it! I almost scared me to death!"

Aunt Song nodded and said: "I was so busy that I forgot. Duoji came back from driving sheep at night and found that the moon was full, so he reminded me that today is the fifteenth day. When the moon is full, this white-haired boy will come out. I hurried Came here to look for you, at least I found you.” I was still in shock and asked, "What the hell is that thing?" Aunt Song frowned and said, "No one understands this thing. Tibetans call it Klang, which is what we call zombies." I said, "Oh my god, is this a zombie?! Are there really zombies?" Aunt Song nodded and said, "I didn't believe it before. Once when lambs were picked up in spring, it rained heavily, and the sheep were scattered by the heavy rain and ran to the depths of the grassland. At that time, dozens of ewes with lambs ran away. It’s cold, and if the sheep can’t be found, they will all freeze to death overnight. Duoji and I lit a torch to find them in the middle of the night, we were only busy looking for sheep, and forgot to see if the moon was round, and finally came across that thing!”

I nodded repeatedly and said, "So that's the case, I was almost scared to death by it." Then I asked Aunt Song, "They won't chase after them, right?" Aunt Song looked at the misty prairie in the distance and said, "No, they just move around the lake and never come out." At this time, the monkey asked: "Aunt Song, what's the matter with these white mist?" Aunt Song looked at the white mist and said seriously: "These are the white mist I told you about. Don't touch the white mist, otherwise people will disappear." I shouted: "Then why don't we run quickly?!"

Aunt Song said: "It's okay, these white mist will not go away once they meet the water. If you encounter it on the grassland, run towards the water quickly, you are right!" The monkey asked: "What is the matter with these white fogs? Why are they still chasing people?" Aunt Song said: "Then I don't know. The old people on the grassland said that these are lonely ghosts who died on the grassland. They couldn't find their way home, so they wandered around on the grassland. The things on the grassland are In this way, I can't tell!" Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief, remembering what the monkey said about Aunt Song's suspiciousness, I didn't know who to trust for a while, and hesitated there, not knowing what to say.

The monkey was silent for a while, looked up at Aunt Song, and asked, "Aunt Song, did my mother get along with you back then?" Aunt Song's expression was visibly stiff, but she quickly regained her composure, and said, "It's nothing, we are all revolutionary comrades, the old ladies who came here together, what's wrong with you?" The monkey shook his head and said, "No. When I mentioned my mother's name, I saw something wrong with your expression. You don't seem to be talking about an old friend." I also recalled the scene at that time. After Aunt Song heard about the identity of the monkey, she was obviously taken aback, and her speech became unnatural.I didn't feel anything at the time, but it was only when I was bitten by the monkey that I felt something was wrong. No wonder the monkey didn't want to stay there any longer.

Aunt Song changed the subject: "Let's build a fire, sir. If the fire is lit, those... things won't dare to come over." The monkey stood up suddenly and said, "I'm not afraid of zombies." Aunt Song was taken aback: "Then what are you afraid of?" The monkey said coldly, "I'm afraid someone will harm me." Monkey picked up the topic directly, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.I stood between Aunt Song and the monkey, neither advancing nor retreating, I didn't know what to do for a while, it was extremely embarrassing. The wind blew over, Aunt Song lowered the reins in her hand, squinted her eyes and looked at the vast grassland, lost in memories.After a long time, she sighed and told us that there were indeed some feuds between her and the monkey mother back then, but that was a long time ago. How about monkeys. Monkey was still worried, and insisted on asking Aunt Song about the past.Aunt Song hesitated for a long time, finally sat down, and told us a very secret thing that happened that year. She said: "That was decades ago. Over the years, I have never told anyone, not even Dorji. If you didn't ask me this time, I would definitely rot it In my stomach. Actually, it’s not that I want to keep it secret on purpose, but this matter is too bizarre, even if I tell others, they won’t believe it.” She smiled desolately, stroked a strand of hair on her forehead that was blown tousled by the wind, and sighed with emotion.It was the only time she had ever told anyone about it many years ago, and it ended up where she is now. Aunt Song was very excited and sad when this matter was mentioned.She babbled on and on, saying many places many times, and many places were somewhat vague.We listened for a long time before we understood the strange thing that happened that year. Aunt Song said: "Everyone knows that the hardest part of the Red Army's 25,000-mile long march was climbing snow-capped mountains and crossing grasslands. In fact, many people don't know that the Red Army has crossed grasslands four times. Back then, when we crossed grasslands, we followed The team led by Mr. Xu, the Fourth Red Army, was the third time the Red Army had crossed the grass. "Talking about the 25,000-mile Long March, I was really tired. I was so tired that the sweat that flowed all over my body was bloodshot. I felt that my whole life's energy and spirit had become sweat. Hunger, thirst, chasing soldiers, wild beasts , snow mountains, swamps, hail, and intense heat, any of which can kill a person. But the most painful and tiring thing here is not the enemy's encirclement and suppression, nor is it crossing the Chishui four times, crossing the grassland, and flying over the Luding Bridge. Climb the snow-capped mountains and cross the grasslands. "Many people have talked about the grassland and crossing the grassland. In fact, only a few people know what it was like when the Red Army crossed the grassland and what kind of situation they encountered. "Those who have never walked past the grassland can never imagine the horror of the grassland. "Many people may think that it's just grass, so what's so scary about it? "The horror of the Zoige Grassland should be discussed from the source. "The Zoige Grassland is located in the transition zone between the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Sichuan Basin. It is a unique basin in a plateau, and it can be said that it is very unique in the world. "Later, I specifically checked the information. How big is the Zoige grassland? It's actually not big. It's about 500 miles long, 300 miles wide, and about 3,500 meters above sea level. No matter how big or small, there are so many things that cannot be explained by common sense. "When we crossed the Ruoergai grassland, the terrain was much more terrifying than it is now. At that time, the rain was heavy, and the grass was full of stinky water bubbles. It looked like thick grass, and when one stepped on it, people sank without even a shadow. The further you go, the more frightening it becomes. The most frightening thing is the vast no-man's land in northwestern Sichuan. "In the depths of the no-man's land in western Sichuan, the Moqu River and the Gequ River meander through. The grassland is low-lying and the water cannot flow through. Finally, large and small water bubbles are formed on the grassland. Water plants grow under the water bubbles. Thick meadows have been formed. Year after year, the meadows are covered with Tibetan wormwood, sedge grass, and sea leeks, which look like lush grasslands. No one would have thought that under those lush meadows , what is hidden is the bottomless swamp. "No one has measured how wide the swamp is. No one has calculated how deep the swamp is. Anyway, it is shrouded in thick fog all the year round, and the climate is unpredictable. The sky used to have a venomous sun, but in a blink of an eye Hailstones the size of eggs fell. Water and mist shrouded together, many people could not tell the direction, and fell into the swamp. When one person fell into it, the people behind stretched out their hands to pull it, and often several people were led into the swamp together. When I went in, I couldn't even find the bones. "The water in the grassland is poisonous and cannot be drunk. The wounds will become red, swollen and ulcerated when they touch the water. Many people struggled to get out of the grassland, but finally died of the wound ulceration. "When entering the grassland, the food collected by the Red Army was obviously not enough. Each person was given a few catties of highland barley noodles. It was still cold, and the weather was good and bad. The sun made people's skin hurt for a while, and the rain and hail were all over the head and face in a blink of an eye. It was too cold, and the cooking team carried iron pots. Whenever they went to a place, they quickly boiled water, and then boiled chili water and shochu. If someone passed out, they quickly poured it, otherwise they would never wake up again. But come. "At night, the soldiers are camping on the grass, which is even more terrifying. The river water in the grass is weird. There is nothing during the day, but at night, it may be because of the rain, the river will suddenly surge, and all the people by the river will be swept away into the water. So everyone dared not sleep at night, so they had to rest in groups of two, with guns in their arms, back to back. The next morning, when I woke up, many groups, even the whole class, were all stiff Lying there back to back, they were all frozen to death. "Well, there was a poem at that time called 'the bones are harder when the clothes are soaked in wind and rain, and the hunger is stronger when wild vegetables are eaten. That's exactly what we thought..." Aunt Song smiled sadly, and said with emotion: "When you are old, you only have this little memory left. It's useless to talk about it all the time. Are you tired of hearing it?" The monkey and I shook our heads vigorously and said, "Don't bother, don't bother, we are looking for the traces of the revolution this time, and we must thank Aunt Song for giving us a revolutionary traditional education class!" Aunt Song said: "You must be very surprised, why I have such a strong reaction when I mention that place. Since you are Su Mu's child, I can't hide anything, so let me tell you something about that year. "I was a health worker back then, and I ended up crossing the grassland with the 30th Army. Every July to September is the rainy season on the grassland. At this time, it often rains heavily for several days and nights on the grassland. It completely turned into a swamp. The water was connected to the grass, and the grass covered the mud. It was impossible to find out whether it was a solid road or a collapsed swamp with a road-finding stick. "We came here in this season, entered the grassland through Chali Temple, crossed the Gaqu River near Anqu, passed Shangyangkou, Longri, Ganmantang, Ayiguomukang, Sejiba (now Sejiba) Dam) and Nianduo Dam enter the Baozuo River Valley, pass through the 'Lazitang', 'Watershed' and 'Small Forest', and then arrive at the most difficult 'Sejiba' and 'Houhe'. "At that time, there was a lack of clothing and food, and the Kuomintang army surrounded us. The weather fluctuated from hot to cold. Many people suffered from strange diseases and there was no medicine to cure them. Many people died every night. Many soldiers fell asleep with their guns in their hands at night. After dawn, he still kept his sleeping position. After pushing it, he found that he had already died silently at night. There are also rumors that there is a monster hidden in the snow-capped mountains deep in the grassland, and it will sneak out to eat at night People. I don’t know if this rumor is true or not. Anyway, many people disappear every night. It is said that some soldiers knew that they would not survive and did not want to drag others down, so they walked into the depths of the grass silently at night... "I was a little girl at the time, and I was very afraid of death. I was often afraid that I would never get up again when I closed my eyes at night. At that time, my heels were worn out, and they were soaked in rain, and even my ankles were ulcerated. Taking a step hurts like a needle prick. Every night, I lie on the ground and don’t want to get up again. I think I’ll just let it go. It's easier to throw yourself into the river. "Fortunately, there was a good sister who was with me at the time, that is your mother. She has always encouraged me and supported me. She used the excuse to take care of me at night, and fell asleep with me back to back like a night watchman. In this way, if I make a little noise at night, she can feel it. In this way, under her protection, my wound gradually healed, and I gradually mustered up the courage to go through it step by step. "But in the next few nights, I felt something was wrong. Why? Because I found that there were mud on my back when I woke up several times in the morning. I have to explain this. She and I slept together back to back at night, and the two of us Supported, leaning upright all night, no one can get up, otherwise the balance will be lost, and the other person will lie on the swamp. The swamp is cold and wet, and it is easy to get sick, so she and I both stayed up all night. But for several nights in a row, there was mud on my back, indicating that she must have woken up in the middle of the night. But I asked her, and she refused to admit it. I was also a little angry at the time, so I did a little trick. I found a grass One end of the vine is tied to my little finger, and the other end is tied to her shoelace, trying to see if she goes out at night. "As a result, in the middle of the night, I felt that my little finger was being pulled. I woke up with a jerk, and looked back, but she was still asleep and didn't move at all. It is estimated that she moved her shoe in a dream, which touched her. I touched my finger. I felt that I was being overwhelmed. I shook my head and wanted to continue to sleep, but I didn’t know when there was a thick fog like lime water in front of me. The thick fog was like a wall. , looking solid, slowly moving forward. Although the fog is weird, but there are many weird things on the grass, I didn't feel very scared, but opened my eyes in a daze, trying to see clearly What's up with the fog. "At this time, I realized that there was something wrong with the fog. "How should I put it, the dense fog was in a trance, as if there was a black shadow inside. The shadow was very large, and it looked like a monster lying by the river in the night... I could see it clearly at that time. At that time, there was a thin layer of mist on the surface of the river, and the moon shone through the mist, and I could only see a vague shadow. At that time, I thought it was a stone, but who knew it moved by itself. "No, it's a living thing! "I was surprised. I was about to shout, but then I thought about it, could it be the little night watchman, so I suppressed it. After all, everyone is very tired from marching. When you shout, everyone is woken up. It's a false alarm." One match was bad. Later, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became. The first was that the little night watchmen were all around us, back to back, forming a circle, protecting us women inside; The reason is that the terrain here is different. The river is not wide but the current is fast. There is still deep silt under the water, and it often rains heavily at night. When it rains, the river surges, and it is easy to rush people by the river into the river. He was dead, so no one dared to get close to the river at night; third, the black shadow looked not only much bigger than a person, but even bigger than the big horse the boss was riding. "It's a meadow monster! "I thought about the soldiers who kept disappearing on the grass these days, and wondered if they were eaten by this monster, right? "I was so frightened at the time, my whole body was cold, and I didn't dare to move. After the fear passed, my heart secretly became active, thinking that there were soldiers all around me, should I yell and let the soldiers see what happened? what's going on. "At this moment, I suddenly felt that the grass vines on my fingers were pulled hard, and then pulled hard again, and the grass vines broke. I clearly felt at that time that Su Mu slowly staggered I turned around and looked back at me. I was very flustered, and I quickly closed my eyes, not knowing what she was going to do. Although I closed my eyes, I could feel her staring at me for a while, and then sighed softly , carefully supported me with his hands, put me on the ground, and left. "At this time, I didn't think much about it. I still wanted to see, see, her fox tail was exposed. See if I caught her, and saw that she still didn't admit that she had been up at night! Then I Thinking of the weird shadow by the river, I hurried up and wanted to remind her, but I didn't expect that such a bizarre thing would happen later." Aunt Song sighed and said with emotion: "I can't believe it...Even today, I always wonder if I saw it wrong, because that scene really makes people unbelievable. It will be like this..." Aunt Song shook her head in disbelief, as if she was laughing at herself at the time. I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked anxiously, "Aunt Song, what's the matter?" Aunt Song said: "At that time, I saw her in a daze...she seemed to be connected with that black shadow. Then, then...then she disappeared..." "Huh?" The monkey and I stood up suddenly, "She disappeared?" Aunt Song nodded uneasy, and said, "Yes, she disappeared right under my nose." I was also shocked when I heard it, and said: "Then... what is going on with that black shadow?" Aunt Song shook her head and said: "I also wanted to know whether what happened at night was true or not. I also went to the river to have a look, and found that the grass as tall as a person by the river was flattened by something. It seems that last night I'm not dreaming, there really was a big thing lying across the grass." The monkey asked: "Aunt Song, did you report it?" Aunt Song smiled wryly: "A big living person said he was gone, so why not report it? I reported it to the company commander, and the company commander didn't believe it at first, thinking that I must have been hungry and dizzy. Many people were missing, and they didn’t have the energy to care about who disappeared and how. Fortunately, the local guide heard the story and hurriedly kowtowed to the snow mountain, saying that it was a ghost coming down from the snow mountain, and that the snow mountain was angry. "The company commander felt that the matter was weird, so he quickly reported it to the regiment headquarters. After learning about the situation, the regiment headquarters still attached great importance to it, and wanted to send a group of people to search deep in the grass. No one thought that at this moment, Su Mu would Suddenly it appeared." I suddenly stood up in surprise: "This...why did she come out again?" Aunt Song shook her head and said: "No one knows why she suddenly appeared again. Just when the regiment headquarters had arranged people and was about to head for the snow mountain, she walked slowly from the outside, yawning and brushing her hair , walked over and greeted me, as if she just woke up and didn't know anything... "I was surprised and happy at the time, so I hurried up to hold her hand, and asked her if she was okay, what happened last night, but I was terrified! "But she looked at me in surprise, said that she had been there all night, and just found a place where no one was there to relieve her, and asked me why I looked at her so strangely. "At that time, there was a bang in my head, and I didn't know what to do. When the people in the regiment saw this, they thought I was making something out of nothing, and they were also very annoyed. They reprimanded me in a low voice, saying that now is an extraordinary period. The military order is like a mountain, and no jokes are allowed. If I do this again next time, I will be dealt with as a false report of military information-this is a serious crime! "I took Su Mu's hand and asked her in a low voice what happened last night. But she refused to admit anything, saying that I must have read wrong last night. "I asked several times, but Su Mu didn't admit it. My heart was also icy cold, thinking that I saw her disappear last night, and I couldn't find her anywhere in the morning, so why didn't she admit it? "Looking at her again, her pale and dry face is now full of red, rosy and lustrous, as if she has regained her vitality overnight. "The more I look at her, the more terrifying she is. I even wonder if she became a blood-sucking monster in the middle of the night, so she becomes so young and seductive after one night. "Anyway, I started to pay attention to her gradually. She must have done some weird things without telling us, so I dare not admit it. "As soon as I turned around, I saw Su Mu's blushing face smiling ghostly at me, which made me tremble with fear, and I couldn't help shivering. "That night, I was worried all the time, trying to find a reason not to sleep back to back with Su Mu. I was really scared, so I dawdled there, pretending to be doing something, unwilling to sleep. I tossed like this until the middle of the night, I was so sleepy that I sat on the ground and dozed off with my head supported by my arms. When I was half awake and half asleep, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from behind and grabbed my neck. "My first thought at the time was that this person must be Su Mu, she came to kill people to silence her. "I struggled desperately to break her hand, but she strangled her tighter and tighter, and I couldn't break it. My neck was about to be broken by her, my throat felt like fire, and my chest was about to explode. . "At this time, I suddenly remembered that I once heard a monk soldier who had practiced martial arts say that if a person is strangled by the neck and cannot use his hands, he will not be able to break the opponent's hands. At this time, he must fight hard. That person's nails. The nails are very fragile, and it doesn't take much force to knock them off. The other person can't bear the pain, so he will let go. "At that time, the situation was so compelling that I didn't even think about it. I touched her nails and kicked them fiercely. I heard her yelp and let go of me. "I ran out while protecting my neck, and felt that something in my neck was crushed by her. There was a lot of stuff in it, and I wanted to vomit but didn't dare to vomit. I took a few breaths desperately. Shouting 'Killer! Help'. "The soldier on duty woke up suddenly, loaded his gun with a clatter, and ran towards me, shouting 'Who? What's the situation'. "I covered my neck and cried, saying that Su Mu wanted to kill me, she just strangled my neck so hard that she almost strangled me to death! "The soldiers hesitated when they saw that I was out of breath from crying. But just based on what I said, it was a bit arbitrary to think that my comrade-in-arms was a bad guy. At this moment, our old company commander came over Yes, after he heard what I said, he only said lightly and brought Su Mu over. "Su Mu walked over sleepily, with an innocent face, and asked what's wrong. "I yelled 'you have the guts to ask what's wrong?! I almost got strangled by you'. "Su Mu was taken aback, then looked at me contemptuously, and said, 'Are you dreaming? You said yesterday that I was captured by a monster'. "At that time, I was anxious and hated. Being held back by her like this, I was so anxious that I couldn't speak, and I couldn't help crying again. "I heard Su Mu say innocently, I guess I have been marching too hard during this period, and I have received some kind of stimulation, which affects my thinking, and I often have hallucinations. There are such examples in the hospital, and such symptoms may occur due to neurasthenia. Yesterday I said that she was captured by a monster, today I said that she was going to strangle me, and tomorrow I will say that she encountered a ghost. "Su Mu sighed and said it's all right, she doesn't blame me, and let everyone go back. "I saw her cover up the matter with a few understatements, and felt the blood in my chest. I fell to my knees and spit out two mouthfuls of blood stuck in my throat. The company commander was afraid that something might happen to me, so he hurriedly asked me about my health. It doesn't matter, let people quickly find a military doctor. "I vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, felt better, and figured out a way of thinking. I knew that it would be useless to be anxious at this time, and everyone would only see me as mentally ill. "I thought about it, maybe this is the only chance in my life, if I don't want to be regarded as mentally ill from now on, I must clear up my grievances. "So I calmed down, stroked my hair, and said: 'Commander, I'm not crazy. I know very well now that Su Mu really wanted to strangle me. If you don't believe me, look at the bruises on my neck. I was almost strangled to death just now.’ At this time, I suddenly remembered something, and shouted: ‘When she pinched me, I broke her nails. Look at her nails, Just look at her nails!" "The company commander didn't say anything, neither did Su Mu. In the darkness, I heard the rushing water in the nearby river. "I know this is my last chance, and I ask the company commander again to look at Su Mu's nails, which is also my last chance, and ask the organization to return my innocence. "The company commander sighed, he asked Su Mu to stretch out his hand and let us see her nails, even if it was to give everyone an explanation. "After Su Mu heard what I said, she was a little flustered at first, and she resolutely refused to obey. "She sneered and said that I was baseless slander and malicious speculation, and that the company commander actually believed that a lunatic like me had problems with both his personal style and leadership ability. "At this time, everyone can see that Su Mu is obviously flustered, clenched her hands tightly, and kept making excuses to refuse us to check her nails. "The company commander also saw that something was wrong, and he said seriously: 'Comrade Su Mu, you are a veteran, you should know the rules of our army. We will not wrong a good person, nor let a bad person go. You'd better cooperate Otherwise, we will detain you for another trial according to the regulations of the army.' "Su Mu was still messing around there, yelling and yelling, which woke up the other companies, causing many soldiers to curse one after another, and someone even pointed a torch in this direction. "The company commander had no choice but to let a few soldiers escort Su Mu to the river, trying to find a place where no one was around and break off her fingers to have a look. "I was full of joy, thinking that I finally found a chance to repay my innocence. Unexpectedly, at this time the most terrifying scene appeared. "When Su Mu arrived by the river, she suddenly calmed down. She smiled lightly and said, 'Don't you just want to see my nails? What if you don't see them?' "The company commander said, if not, of course he would apologize to her on behalf of the organization. "Su Mu said: 'Okay, what about you?' "She was asking me. "I said generously, if I framed her, I would die a terrible death, and I would never be able to get out of this grassland in my life! "Su Mu sneered, said hello, and stretched out his hands unhurriedly. The soldier shone with a torch, and I almost lost my breath. Su Mu's ten fingers were as smooth and white as green onions, and his ten nails It's as smooth as a shell, without even a single scar, let alone broken by me. "The company commander gave me a hard look, apologized politely to Su Mu, and walked away. "I fell to the ground all of a sudden. "I know, I can't beat her, it's impossible in my life. "As soon as the regiment headquarters left, I immediately knelt down in front of her, telling her to strangle me right now, and I promised not to groan. "She laughed wildly and said, 'Why should I kill you? Think of the oath you just swore, you'll never get out of the meadow! Haha, you'll never get out of the meadow!' "I sat alone by the river all night in despair. When I marched the next day, I deliberately fell behind and waited on the grass. I knew that Su Mu would definitely kill me and would not let me walk out of the grass. I was wandering on the grass alone, slowly walking into the depths of the swamp, thinking that it would be good to fend for myself, at least I would not be strangled to death. "I started to lose my fear and started wandering on the grass. "At the beginning, the soldiers marching behind would come and throw me some food. Later, there were fewer and fewer people, and I was left on the grass. Sometimes, I followed the wolves and picked up some wolves to eat. I started to become a savage, like a wolf, who could see things at night, and gradually adapted to life on the grass. "Later, Tibetan caravans passed by here and wanted to take me out of the grassland. I said I couldn't get out of the grassland, and I would die if I got out of the grassland. They thought about it, although I didn't want to go out of the grassland, but I couldn't stay in the swamp forever Life brought me to the edge of the grassland, a border between Tibetan and Han, and asked me to help Tibetans herd sheep and cattle to make a living. I used to be a health worker in the army, and I learned some acupuncture and bloodletting from barefoot doctors, and I can also help Tibetans Min sees a doctor and also works as a veterinarian. In this way, I gradually learned Tibetan, and finally met Dorje, and came here with him.” When she recalled this, she was obviously in pain, but she narrated it in a very flat tone, as if she was telling a story that had nothing to do with her.It's just that, the more she spoke, the faster she spoke, and her voice gradually increased, as if the pain and fear in her heart would end sooner if she finished speaking sooner. After finishing speaking, she closed her eyes and raised her head, as if she was slowly reminiscing about that scene back then. Both the monkey and I were shocked, and it was impossible to imagine what kind of inhuman life this strong woman lived at that time! I also understood why she had such a strong reaction after the monkey said his mother's name.Although so many years have passed, the shadow of that year still hangs over her heart.The arrival of the two of us made her wonder if the person back then had come back again. Houzi didn't expect that there would be such a festival back then, so he was a little nervous and stammered, "Aunt Song... that... my mother..." Aunt Song smiled generously and said, "It's okay, it's okay, this happened decades ago. In fact, I haven't figured it out for so many years. We get along day and night, and our relationship is very good. She When I pinched me back then, I think there must be a misunderstanding. At that time, everyone was in a trance, and she might not know what she was doing. When I think about it now, I also suspect that it was like Nanke Yimeng back then, and I can’t guarantee it. Is it true? After so many years, the past has long been forgotten. If I have the opportunity to see your mother, I still want to catch up with her and talk about the old comrades in arms! Alas, in a blink of an eye, you will So big. Yes, how is she now?" Monkey said sadly: "She followed the army all the time, and then she was transferred to the Four Fields and disappeared while suppressing bandits in Guangxi. So many years have passed, and I don't know whether she is dead or alive..." Aunt Song sighed: "Oh, in those years of war and chaos, how many wives were separated and families were destroyed! For so many years, you and your father survived alone?" The monkey also sighed: "I was about three or four years old when my mother passed away. Over the years, I have long forgotten what she looked like." I listened by the side, and I couldn't bear it.Monkey usually seems to be a joking optimist, but he didn't expect his background to be so pitiful. 回头想想，我小时候经常去猴子家玩，还真就没见过他母亲，就他父亲屋里屋外忙着，忙得几乎四脚朝天。现在想想，猴子的童年应该也是够凄凉的。 宋姨没说话，她轻轻叹了一口气，俯身在马背上的背袋里找了半天，终于在最底下找到了一个铁盒子。她小心拂去了铁盒子上的一层白灰，打开铁盒子，里面竟有一个旧时的日记本。她小心地翻看着，最后才从日记本中找出了一张老照片。 她小心递给猴子，说：“喏，中间那个扎着两条小辫子的，就是你母亲！” 猴子很激动。看他那股激动劲儿，我心中突然有些难过，猴子可能从来都没有见过自己的母亲。 现在想想，猴子从小就是孤零零的一个人。他父亲是一个冷冰冰的人，对孩子从来不笑，看起来像个黑脸包公，所以很少有孩子愿意跟猴子玩。猴子好像也就只有我这么一个朋友。 不过我总觉得宋姨说得有些玄乎。按照她的说法，猴子母亲应该是涂抹了一层药膏，然后手指甲上的伤马上就好了。这种说法实在太过离奇了。她当年的伤到底是怎么回事？为什么突然消失了？ 我觉得这事情里有古怪，问猴子：“猴子，你们家有没有什么祖传的跌打药，涂在身上伤口立刻就能好的？” 猴子被我弄糊涂了，问：“我们家又不开药铺，哪儿来祖传的跌打药？” 我说：“那你妈身上的伤口，怎么一转眼就好了？” 猴子苦笑着：“哪儿有这样神奇的药？要是真有那么管用的药，我们家也不用去黄委会了，直接在街头卖狗皮膏药就成了！” 猴子有些尴尬地问：“宋姨，我想问你一件当时的事情，不知道方便不方便？” 宋姨爽朗地笑着：“都那么多年过去了，还有什么方便不方便的？你尽管问！” 猴子正了正身体，说：“宋姨，您看当年的情况，只有两种可能。第一种，当年我母亲随身带了一种神奇的药膏，那药膏抹在伤口上，疤痕在几分钟之内就会完全消失不见。您觉得这个可能吗？” 宋姨摇头，说：“这个我早就想过，是不可能出现的。我当时下手很狠，那一下子至少能掀掉一片指甲盖儿。这世上除非有这样的药膏，可以让她在几分钟内重新长出来一个新的指甲，但这是不可能的。” 猴子点点头，说：“那么就剩下最后一种可能——当时袭击您的人，并不是我的母亲。” 宋姨想都不想，直接冷冷地说：“这个绝不可能。” 猴子坚持：“宋姨，您想想，您当时有没有看清楚那个袭击您的人的脸？” 宋姨回想了一下，摇摇头，说：“我当时怕极了，挣脱开后，就拼命往前跑，倒是真没敢往后看……” 猴子点点头，问：“宋姨，您看，当时有没有可能是这种情况呢？比如说——我当然是在举例子——您看，有没有可能，袭击您的是另外一个人呢？” 宋姨斩钉截铁地说：“绝不可能！这个我心里清楚得很，一定是粟沐，没错的！” 猴子说：“您为什么那么肯定呢？” 宋姨脸色变了一下，接着用一种不自然的语气说：“这种事情，我当然会知道。当时我撞破了她的事情，她晚上又突然间消失了，不是她还会有谁？” 猴子摇摇头说：“这个也不好说……说不准当时还有第三个人。” 宋姨的脸色变了，但是也没有继续说什么。 我见气氛尴尬起来，忙岔开话题，说：“宋姨，您当时多大啊？” 宋姨随口说：“我当时也就二十几岁吧。” 我吃惊了：“这样算算，现在您都五十多岁了，看起来可真不像！” 女人有些尴尬地笑笑，说：“在高原风吹日晒的，脸皮都给吹黑了，看不出来年龄了！其实早就是个老太婆了！” 我见气氛缓和了，也笑嘻嘻地说：“是看不出来，我觉得宋姨现在看起来也就三十出头。” 宋姨听我这样说，显得有些不自然，很快将话题扯到其他方面去了。说清楚了当年的恩怨，我们终于放下戒心，简单商量了一下。宋姨说现在深更半夜的，草原上危机四伏。不管怎么样，大家还是先在这里对付一夜，第二天再走。
