True story

There is a mute in our village.

As far as I can remember, he was 40 years old. There is an old lady who is nearly seventy years old and her eyes are dim. The two of them are squeezed into an old hall of less than 6 square meters, and their lives are very poor.

Dumb people are born dumb and deaf, but when they meet us, they always grin, make "eyah-eyah-eyah-eyah" sounds excitedly, and keep gesticulating in the air, as if they have endless words to tell us.

Adults can generally "understand" what he wants to express from gestures, but we children don't understand and are too lazy to listen. So every time I see him scratching and scratching at us excitedly, I laugh and make fun of him by saying bad things, but he can't hear me anyway. Some children even shouted in his ear: "Dumb is a big fool!" " "But the dumb is still smiling. That's stupid.

The dumb mother smoked opium, which made her family poor and unstable. A Dai endured the abuse of his mother, and learned to strike while the iron was hot from an old blacksmith in the village through hard work and farming.

People say that "a deaf person must be a person with great wisdom". In fact, after studying with the master for a month, Dumb became the most famous blacksmith in Fiona Fang, with a thriving business and rolling financial resources. Dumb bought a big cigarette for his mother with all the money he earned while he was working while the iron was hot.

The dumb mother cried with him for three days and two nights before she died, and the whole village was shocked to see it. The mute knelt in front of his mother and helped her wipe her tears. Only then did I know that his mother took the mute away when she was a child. After her husband gave birth to a son, he took the child and ran away with another woman and never came back.

Before dying, a woman in a bad karma suddenly stopped cursing and accusing her husband, and slowly stroked the dumb face with her hand: "Son, your mother left …" Then she closed her eyes.

The funeral of the dumb mother is very simple. That afternoon, a group of children followed several adults carrying coffins to the mountain behind the village. When the coffin was put into the hole dug in advance, the dumb man suddenly jumped down and cried his eyes out on the coffin.

Although he can't say a complete sentence, we all understand his inner pain. Those children who laugh at the sight of the dumb on weekdays also closed their mouths and stood quietly crying with the dumb that afternoon. That night, the biggest rain in my memory fell in the village.

A Dai has aged a lot since his mother died, so our children nicknamed him "Old A Dai". The old mute was as happy to see us as before and gave us candy as before. Every time he sees us, A Dai always takes out many beautiful candies. We always shout, "Mute, give me another piece!" " "Then he set, took all the sugar in his pocket.

There is a rogue named Shunshun in the village. Shunshun wandered around the dumb house every day after her mother died. Later, Shunshun became rich inexplicably, bought the first motorcycle in the village and married a beautiful daughter-in-law. On Shunshun's wedding day, everyone in the village went to see the beautiful bride, and so did the mute. The bride gave the mute a handful of candy.

Just as the whole village was marveling at Shun Shun's good luck, a sudden thing happened. Shunshun went to her mother-in-law's house on the third day after her marriage, and even her car fell under the bridge, and her head was broken.

After Shunshun died, the mute began to run to the beautiful widow's house. Almost all the money he earned from working while the iron was hot was given to that beautiful woman. Rumors about the dumb and widows began to circulate in the village.

Adults began to forbid us to accept dumb candy. So when we met the mute on the road, we began to avoid him and stopped grabbing candy as before. Every time the mute looked at us blankly, he stood in the same place with a "eyah".

Day after day, I gradually alienated the old mute.

There is a big pit in the east of the village. Every summer, after the rain fills the pit, the children rush to the pit, take off their clothes one by one and go swimming in into the pit.

Unfortunately, it happened on a hot afternoon. It was so hot that we children couldn't stay at home, so we ran into the pit and jumped down to cool off. Just as I was lingering, there was a huge thunder in the sky, and then it rained cats and dogs.

We were so frightened that we piled together and climbed into the pit desperately. But the heavy rain made the pit slippery, so we climbed up again and again and rolled back into the pit with the washed-away soil again and again. It rained harder and harder, thunder and lightning crossed, and the big trees at the pit began to tilt. We shouted in horror.

Some people in the village came to the pit one after another and began to throw ropes down, but we couldn't catch them. The people in the pit were screaming and jumping. When we were desperate, the dumb man jumped into the pit.

We have six children, and the mute hugged us hard and tied ropes to us one by one. I was the last one pulled up. Looking back at the mute, he was tossed in the pit by the water.

The dumb man couldn't climb out of the pit. He tried his best to hold us, and the rope was in front of him, but he lost consciousness.

A Dai's funeral was held the day after his death. His body was parked in the yard all morning. The widow came with a weak baby in her arms. We don't know whether the baby is smooth or dumb, but we all hope it is dumb.

The children stood beside the dumb body, crying quietly. But I didn't cry. I think, people are dead, what's the point of crying?

I turned around and walked into the silent little room. It's a mess inside. I'll help him clean it up. Gently open his bedding, a bag of paper wrapped in hemp paper rolled out, and I opened the paper-there were beautiful candy in it!

I can no longer hold back my tears and let them flow freely, hitting the sugar that breaks my heart drop by drop.
