Chapter 238: The Poor in the Age of Famine

In rural areas, there is not much activity at night, and every household is used to going to bed early!

In the dead of night, a burst of howling ghosts and wolves suddenly came from Han Laosan's house. The screams were so frightening that they alarmed the surrounding villagers!

He put on his clothes and came out to check. Hearing a lot of noise, he lit a torch and gathered in twos and threes at the Han family's old house!

At this time, the screams in the courtyard became more and more shrill, accompanied by adults shouting and children crying, making it seem like a mess inside!

Someone knocked on the door and asked, "Open the door, Third Brother, what happened?"

Soon the door opened, and Gu Dahua was unkempt, her buttons were buttoned wrong, and she was so panicked that she even stuttered her words.

"Ghost! The ghost of Han Laosi is here!"

The sudden mention of ghosts in the middle of the night made everyone feel chills standing on end, but there were so many of them that they were not afraid.

Someone had the courage to ask, "Where are the ghosts?"

Gu Dahua's fingers trembled, "In his room!"

At the same time, a wailing sound came from the room again, as if he was so scared that his voice changed!

In the middle of the night, this strange cry seemed eerie and terrifying!

"Mom! What's wrong with you!" Han Laosan screamed!

Everyone took torches and walked to the door. They saw Mrs. Han rolling on the bed, pulling her clothes from time to time. The piercing scream was made by her!

Han Lao San on the side didn't know what was wrong with her mother, and tried hard to make her stop, but Han Lao San seemed to be possessed by a ghost, kicking and kicking her, and she couldn't catch her at all!

"Oh, this is really inviting a ghost!" Aunt Qian, who loves to watch the excitement, said this while hiding in the crowd!

She deliberately smiled too much during the day to annoy Mrs. Han, but she didn't think that the soul of Mr. Han would actually come to settle a score with his mother!

Talk quietly, but people dare not stand up!

Han Laosan said anxiously, "Someone lend a hand and help hold my mother down!"

Everyone was a little hesitant. This old lady was possessed by a ghost. Who dares to approach her?

Gu Dahua prayed next to her, "Fourth! Let's go quickly! My sister-in-law promises you that I will burn paper money for you during the holidays!"

Old Mrs. Han continued to scream, as if something was crawling under her clothes, and she grabbed hard from time to time. The clothes, which were not strong, were soon torn!

Although she is old, she is still a woman. Han Laosan cannot watch his mother expose her body in front of everyone!

He hurriedly hugged the person with the quilt, "Mom, what happened to you?"

Mrs. Han's expression was ferocious, her voice was hehe, she was eager to express something, but for some reason, her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she could only make a piercing cry, but she couldn't speak!

The body wrapped under the quilt struggled hard, with a painful and anxious face, his mouth open, and screamed one after another!

When Han Laosan saw that others were not helping, he could only call his wife, but Gu Dahua was so frightened that he dared not step forward!

"My mother scolded Wang Ying, it has nothing to do with me!"

Aunt Qian was instantly excited and ignored her fear. She pulled her and asked, "What did your mother-in-law do that was immoral to anger the fourth child?"

Gu Dahua said hurriedly, "It really has nothing to do with me, so I went over to look. It was my mother who scolded Wang Ying, why didn't he die? It was my mother who asked me to rummage through my belongings, but I didn't find anything!"

"It's all assigned by mother, you can't rely on me!" Hearing Old Mrs. Han's painful howl, Gu Dahua's calves trembled, fearing that Mr. Han's ghost would come to torment her again!

Aunt Qian suddenly said, "Did you go to Wang Ying's house to cause trouble? People are too sick to get up, how can you still bear to curse people!"

It seems that Mrs. Han is really possessed by a ghost. It may be a psychological effect. Everyone feels that the room is gloomy!

He took advantage of the situation and condemned her, "Yes, her mouth is too wicked. She can just scold her normally. She is almost dying and she still doesn't have any moral integrity. No wonder the fourth child doesn't recognize his own mother!"

Han Laosan was anxious, "What nonsense are you talking about, come here and help!"

He looked up and saw the village chief behind him, and said hurriedly, "Village Chief! My mother is not possessed by a ghost. It seems like there is something in her clothes. Please find someone to help!"

The village chief also refused to believe the ghost theory, so he immediately arranged for two old women to go and have a look!

The elderly woman believed that she had not offended Mr. Han, so she bravely went over.

After pulling off the quilt, a dark shadow suddenly appeared on Old Mrs. Han's body. People couldn't help but exclaimed and backed away one after another!

But she heard Mrs. Han scream again. When she took a closer look, she saw that it was a shiny, fat mouse biting her mouth!

Han Laosan was so angry that he took off the soles of his shoes and slapped her on them. The blow was quite harsh, but it was a pity that he didn’t hit him!

The big rat quickly wormed its way into the crowd and disappeared in the blink of an eye!

"Oh, what a big rat!"

Seeing the miserable condition of Mrs. Han, this rat can eat people, so everyone got out of the way, fearing that they would be bitten by the rat!

What a commotion. When it calms down, the rat will be gone!

Looking at Mrs. Han again, she was dripping with sweat, her gray hair was disheveled, her eyes were bloodshot, and she was panting on the bed!

The most frightening thing was that a large piece of her thin upper lip was bitten off by a mouse, turning it into a gash and bleeding!

In order to catch the mouse, Han Laosan used a lot of strength to put the sole of his shoe up. The mouse was not hit, and the sole of his shoe hit his mother's mouth directly!

Mrs. Han received two critical blows. First, a piece of flesh was bitten off her lip, and then her son knocked on her with the sole of his shoe, knocking out two of her front teeth. It was terrible!

The crowd fell silent instantly!

After a while, Aunt Qian whispered, "It turns out it's not the ghost of the fourth child who is here to take revenge!" It was a pity to hear this tone!

The village chief yelled, "Don't engage in feudal superstition all day long!"

Aunt Qian changed her tone and said, "To attract such a big rat, this old woman must be hiding under the quilt in the middle of the night to eat!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone felt that it was reasonable. In this era of famine, people did not have enough to eat. It was normal for rats to bite people when they were hungry!

I haven’t heard of mice biting the elderly. After all, Mrs. Han’s old skin and flesh are not as tender and delicious as the little ones!

Thinking of this, everyone suddenly became worried about the children at home!

"Ratice are also common. The one just now was big, black, and very ferocious! No, I have to go back and have a look, don't bite my baby!"

"Yes! I can't get through this day. Rats are so hungry that they can bite people. You have to go home and take a look!"

Gu Dahua also came to her senses and hurried back to her room to see her son!

In the blink of an eye, the crowd dispersed.

Han Laosan was speechless when he looked at his miserable mother!

Aunt Qian said casually, and he listened. After all, his mother had a criminal record!

Mrs. Han has been a family member all her life, and now living with him, she is still the head of the family, holding the key to the grain cabinet!

The old lady likes to keep all kinds of food that his sister and niece serve filial piety!

If it hadn't been for the old lady's shouting a few days ago, he wouldn't have known that his mother had hidden half a can of dried sweet potatoes and two pieces of rice cakes!

The old lady swore that Gu Dahua had stolen it, but his wife swore that she had not done it!

Something went missing for no apparent reason. Now that I think about it, I must have fed the mice under the bed!

Han Laosan complained quite a lot. These days, he drinks only two meals a day, and his stomach is never satisfied!

His mother would rather feed these things to rats than share them with her children and grandchildren!

Now she even attracted the rats because she was hiding under the covers and eating. Now she is fine. She has made a big ugly appearance in front of everyone. She has a bad mouth and lost her teeth. Let’s see how she still eats!
