C9 Mad Mother

The figure was my mother. My mother had gone crazy again.

My mother's illness was sometimes good and sometimes bad. When she was good, she looked like a normal person. She did not speak and just stayed in a daze. When she was bad, she would run outside no matter whether it was day or night. She could not be pulled back.

It was not as simple as just running outside. She did not have a sense of security. She went to the mountains and the water. She had been injured many times when her grandfather found her. She was in a sorry state. There were even a few times where she almost lost her life.

Not only that, but she also had an offensive nature. She would snatch away children below the age of six. She was extremely strong. Once, she actually snatched away the two-year-old son of a man. She found a firewood pile and hid in it for two days. The man came to my house and said that if he could not find the child, he would kill him. The woman cried and shouted. If she could not find the child, she would hang herself at my door. When the child was extremely hungry in the firewood pile, he cried and wailed. It was only then that someone discovered him. When he was discovered, my mother was giving the child milk in her arms.

There was also one time when a three-year-old child in the neighboring village died. He was buried in the mass grave. Mother did not know why, but she went to the mass grave and dug out the child. She carried the child home. Grandfather found out when he smelled the smell. The child was hidden in her bed. She covered it tightly. The rotten Corpse Liquid had soaked a large area of the bedding.

There were countless similar incidents. As such, the villagers were extremely dissatisfied with their mother, so their grandfather tied her up so that she wouldn't run around.

Since his grandfather was unwilling to do so, he felt guilty towards his mother. He said that his mother was pitiful and that she had suffered a lot in the Jiang family. However, she was crazy. He didn't know how she suffered, but even if she was crazy, he still had to take care of her. How could he tie her up? She was a beast.

His grandfather did as he was told. In the past twenty years, he had treated his mother like his own daughter. When he went to work, he would bring his mother with him. When his mother went crazy and ran out, his grandfather would follow behind her. He was afraid that something might happen to her. However, even so, his mother had caused a lot of trouble for his grandfather.

However, he had gone a little bit off topic. Let's get back to the main topic.

I chased after my mother and ran out. My mother ran very fast. She was about to leave the village and enter the mountain.

I secretly complained in my heart. There were many trees and thorns in the mountain. Not only was it difficult to walk, but it was also easy to lose her if she went in. It would be troublesome to find her when she went in.

As expected, after chasing after my mother for a while in the mountain, she disappeared. I searched for her for a long time until the sun set and dusk. Finally, I saw her figure near the River Deer Mountain.

She was scared to death, but after she went crazy, she was no longer afraid of anything. She was so bold that as long as she ran out, there was no place that she didn't dare to go. The River Deer Mountain was a mass grave. It was said that a great battle had taken place there in the past. The battle was extremely tragic, and many people died. After the war ended, the dead bodies were directly buried on the ground. After a long time, the bones were exposed under the wind and rain. There were piles of dead bones lying on the ground.

There was a saying that people who died of old age could not enter the ancestral grave. In the few nearby villages, people who died in a violent way, children who died young, and girls who died before getting married all buried in the River Deer Mountain. As long as they were not ordinary people, they would also be buried there. Second Uncle and my father’s heads were also buried there.

Such a ghostly place, after a long time, all kinds of strange things would happen. People would hear ghostly wails and see ghostly fire. These were not rare things in the River Deer Mountain. Many people said that they had seen ghostly shadows in the mountains with their own eyes.

There were even people who said that when they passed by the River Deer Mountain at night, they saw that there were no graves in the mountains, and there was a brightly lit village inside. There were people in the village. There was an outsider who did not know the details of the River Deer Mountain. When he was on his way at night, he saw the scene and went to the village to stay for the night. He was treated warmly by the villagers. He drank wine and ate meat, and in the middle of the night, a soft girl crawled into his bed to do that thing with him. In the end, he only found out that he was naked and sleeping in a coffin the next morning. There was a female corpse under his body, and there was also a toad that had been bitten halfway.

This matter was very credible. It was said that when the person who said it was the person himself, he was already in a half-crumbling state. He said that he was being pestered by the female ghost and could not leave the River Deer Mountain. He said that no matter how far he ran during the day, no matter where he hid, when he woke up in the morning, he would definitely sleep in that coffin with the female corpse.

At the beginning, people thought that the man was crazy and half-believed what he said. Later on, the man disappeared. After a few days, a family in the village had a wife who had difficulty giving birth. One corpse and two lives. When they carried her to the mass grave, they saw the man's corpse in a broken tomb. Beside the corpse was a female corpse that was already half-decaying!

Regarding the strange things that happened in the River Deer Mountain, I could say that for three days. In short, that place was a forbidden area in our entire village. Unless it was absolutely necessary, no one would dare to go there. I saw that the sky was already dark, and I didn't want to wander around in the grave circle in the dark. Thus, I sped up my pace and wanted to catch up to my mother quickly and bring her back.

Finally, I caught up to my mother on the edge of the grave circle. Without any explanation, I pulled her along and walked back.

Mother was very strong. She struggled with all her might, wanting to break free from my hands. At the same time, she shouted, "Let go of me, I want to go, I want to go …"

Mother's words made my scalp tingle. Where was she going?

I said, "Mother, it's already dark. Let's go home." After saying that, I dragged her along and walked away.

Mother didn't leave. She kept shouting and wanted to crawl into the grave circle, but her strength was not enough to defeat a young man who was in fear.

After being dragged along by me for a while, Mother suddenly quieted down and shouted, "Changsheng."

Mother would recognize me when she wasn't crazy. She would occasionally call me and talk to me for a while.

"Mmm." I subconsciously agreed and turned my head to look at my mother. I thought to myself, Mother must have gone crazy.

This glance scared me. I realized that Mother was no longer Mother. Mother looked at me with a smile that was not a smile. Under the twilight, her expression was strange with a hint of coldness. It was so unfamiliar.

"Mother ~ You …" I realized that something was wrong and opened my mouth, but I didn't know how to ask her.

Mother pointed behind her and said, "Changsheng, quickly look."

I couldn't help but look in the direction Mother was pointing at. I saw a large number of graves in the mass grave. There were scattered old withered trees in the grave. The branches that were like ghost hands extended into the sky. Some of the branches were even hanging with some tattered white cloth. In the evening wind, the white cloth swayed, like the hands of a ghost. The scene made my back turn cold, and goosebumps rose all over my body.

Just as I was stunned, Mother suddenly broke free from my hand and turned around to run towards the mass grave. For a moment, I saw a burning light in Mother's eyes. She seemed to have seen something that made her excited!
