Uncle Zhang stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the mess on the ground.
The small mountain village where I grew up is now nothing but a piece of scorched earth.
Uncle Zhang stood there for a long time, the emotions in his heart came up repeatedly, then fell down, and changed to another emotion.
His feelings about this place are complicated.
I grew up here. To outsiders, these dangerous mountains and mountains are like a children's paradise where every plant and tree is familiar and familiar to me.
But Uncle Zhang also knows very well.
In this seemingly ordinary small mountain village, there are buried the youth and lives of many young women of unknown origin.
Even Uncle Zhang’s own mother was abducted.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with it as a child.
Because from the time he was sensible, he knew that there was a crazy woman living in his pigsty.
That crazy woman can’t attack anyone, she just giggles all day long.
He also competed with pigs for food.
Very dirty.
There is no kindergarten in the mountains, but compulsory education is still available.
Until Uncle Zhang went to school and learned the motherly chant.
The thread in the hands of a loving mother, the clothes on the body of a wanderer.
Before leaving, I am afraid of returning late.
Whoever speaks an inch of grass will be rewarded with three rays of spring.
Uncle Zhang belatedly asked about his father,
"Dad, where is my mother?"
The father who was always taciturn was drinking. He brewed his own mixed wine and said casually,
"Here, there it is."
He pointed at the pig pen.
Only then did the young Uncle Zhang realize, that crazy woman living in the pig pen!
She is actually her mother? !
Uncle Zhang stood beside the pig pen in a daze, looking at the crazy woman who was eating in the same trough with the pigs.
She was on all fours, half-clothed, and her hair was disheveled on the back of her head.
Is such a person the kind of loving and gentle mother mentioned in the book?
When the crazy woman saw the little child who was as tall as the fence, she chuckled and leaned over.
Uncle Zhang took two steps back and looked at her warily.
He is a madman after all, who knows if he will attack people suddenly?
But the crazy woman just raised her hand and handed the corn cob she snatched from the pig's mouth in the direction of Uncle Zhang.
"Eat... um... hehe... eat..."
The crazy woman smiled.
Uncle Zhang cried.

Later, Uncle Zhang was admitted to the police academy, left here, and then came back and became a policeman in Luoyang Town.
Ordinary, ordinary, mediocre.

It lasts for decades.
Until one day, a dark-skinned boy with dazzling white teeth, wearing a washed-out T-shirt and a pair of slightly peeled sneakers, walked into the police station.
"Hello, I'm here to report."
"My name is Chen Zhiyong, police number."
...
" Boss! Something happened! Didn't Xiao Chen take a break yesterday? Something happened to this kid! " - "Xiao Chen? What happened to him?" " Listen to me. Finished, sit down first. I know you regard Xiao Chen as your apprentice, so don’t worry..."
-"You said so!"
"This kid yesterday He went hiking while resting and accidentally fell off a cliff. "What?" ? ”
“Boss, don’t worry...it’s quite a serious fall.”
“How serious is it that you can no longer be a police officer?” ?”
“Xiao Chen, he’s gone.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s gone.” , Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen... is dead."
- "..."
"Boss... are you okay?"
After a long silence.
-"It's okay, you go out first, I will stay alone for a while."
...
-"Tell me the truth, the new one Did the little policeman find something and was killed by you? "I am your father!"
-"I asked you if you fucking killed that little policeman?!"
"Okay, now that I'm an official, my wings have become stronger, and I have this attitude when talking to me, haha...I You should have been locked up in a pig pen with your crazy mother!"
"Don't mention my mother! How dare you mention my mother? She is a college student in the 1960s! English! How could you end up in this kind of place if you weren't kidnapped? "What is this kind of place? You are the one who lives in this kind of place!" Child from the village! Even if you go to college, it’s you and me who will go to school!”
The last conversation between father and son ended with Uncle Zhang. Leaving the door is the end.
After that, Uncle Zhang never returned to Pingshan Village.
Until now, when I come back.
Pingshan Village has really become a flat land.
A piece of scorched earth.
Just as Uncle Zhang stood silently, he suddenly heard a voice behind him that was so familiar that he didn't dare to recognize it.
It is Chen Zhiyong’s voice.
"Uncle Zhang?"
"Why are you here?"
