Little Red in Folk Stories
Xiaohong is just a seven-year-old child, wearing a red dress and red sandals. She leaned against the willow tree at the entrance of the village like a red ginseng doll, as if she were asleep.
Xiaohong's mother is crazy, holding Xiaohong's body and not letting go, for fear that as soon as she lets go, her daughter will disappear, and the onlookers will be red-eyed, and many men will sigh.
When Xiaohong's grandfather and father came, Xiaohong's mother had fainted from crying. Xiaohong's father's face kept shaking, his red eyes stared at his daughter's small body and staggered to take the child's body home.
First, the disappearance of the body
Xiaohong's body was parked in his barn. Grandpa Xiaohong always has a strange feeling when he touches the child's body. He always helps others with white things, but he has never encountered such a situation. From the outside, he can't see any traces of death. The body is soft and stiff, warm but not cold. This is really a strange thing.
Grandma Xiaohong slowly receded the child's red skirt and turned to get the new suit. Suddenly, she felt her sleeve pulled by a hand, and she turned her head. The child's posture has not changed at all. Grandma Xiaohong patted her head and rubbed her eyes, which were a little dry and red. She thinks she really thinks too much.
Grandma once again turned to get new clothes, New Pants, but when she turned around, her legs shook unconsciously. Xiaohong's red skirt is very good on her body, and she has the same posture as before. This is not an illusion, but a real reality. Grandma didn't want to dress her children, so she shouted and ran back to the house.
Head on, I met Xiaohong's grandfather. My grandfather was puzzled when I saw his panting and sweating wife. How did this wife, who is usually courageous and good at planning things, become like this now? I have to help her rest in the house.
Grandma shivered her lips and told her what this strange thing was about. A large group of relatives and friends and the people present were noncommittal, and all thought that Grandma Xiaohong had too many hallucinations.
Early in the morning, Xiaohong's grandfather invited a gentleman who could see Yin and Yang to show him Feng Shui, and wanted to put his granddaughter in the grave early. I heard that the little girl was dressed in red and died under the willow tree. Mr. Feng Shui felt very bad and had to go in and have a look.
A group of people accompanied Mr. Feng Shui into the barn where the body was parked. Everyone looked up and saw that there was no girl's body. The box in the morgue is empty. There were many helpers outside the house. When the girl's body was lying in the open space, there was an iron basin for burning paper. Now the paper dust in the basin is still glowing, but the girl's body is floating away like air.
Second, Xiaohong was born.
Seven years ago in the summer, the weather was very sultry. Xiaohong's mother felt very tired during labor. As soon as she leaned against the kang, she fell asleep in a daze: she walked into the endless forest, and some gloomy breezes were blowing around, and she was a little scared. She tripped and almost tripped over some unknown plants. Suddenly, a beautiful woman dressed in yellow appeared in front of her, just like falling from the sky, reaching out and grabbing her leaning body in time. I really want to say a few words of thanks, but I haven't made a sound after opening my mouth several times. The woman in yellow seems to see her mind, holding her hand affectionately and sticking her soft body to herself. At the same time, she felt close and squeezed.
Just then, a gust of wind blew, and the woman in yellow was so excited that she almost fell down with her body. Then her hand was held by a beautiful woman in green, and her heart thumped.
Then the woman in yellow and the woman in green were torn together, and the whistling wind kept sweeping her face. I have to pay attention to that sharp sting. In order to avoid the disaster of the pool, I took a neutral posture and got into the grass behind me. As a result, I stepped on the air and rolled down the terrain.
Instinctively, I opened my hands and fished for straws everywhere, and finally caught an object, and the trend of body rolling slowed down slightly. As a result, people and things rolled down, and when I watched them roll to the edge of the cliff, my body suddenly stopped. Look at my hand again. I don't see anything except a trace of light green.
With a slight shock, Xiaohong's mother woke up and the feeling of abdominal pain became stronger and stronger. The family quickly invited the midwife and Xiaohong was born.
The newborn Xiaohong is very healthy. She always looks around with her eyes wide open. When there are no special circumstances, she doesn't cry or make trouble. She never gives adults any trouble. She's smart and pathetic.
Xiaohong's family is an ordinary farmer. The village is located in the hinterland of the mountains, far away from modern cities. The villagers have always maintained a very simple folk customs, preferring sons to daughters. Nearly 100 villagers live in poverty by planting a few acres of thin land and hunting.
Xiaohong's grandfather and father are both only children in the family. Grandparents have been looking forward to having a big fat grandson. Xiaohong's birth made the family a little disappointed, but it didn't affect their love for her at all, except that the whole family was looking forward to adding another boy.
Xiaohong's mother has been getting weaker and weaker since she gave birth to Xiaohong. Although my daughter is clever and not entangled, she always feels that she is out of her depth and getting thinner and thinner.
Xiaohong's grandparents were very sad when she looked at her daughter-in-law's sick body. First, I feel sorry for her daughter-in-law, and second, I have no hope of having grandchildren. The old couple couldn't help sighing when they were carrying their son and daughter-in-law. Once the old couple's words and sighs were heard by their five-year-old granddaughter, and a five-year-old girl frowned slightly like an adult. Grandparents didn't notice Xiaohong's expression at all. They just spoiled and rubbed their granddaughter's hair and went over to get busy.
