"Did you pick it up in that col?"
I asked.
The woman nodded.
"Didn't you say you picked it up from the wolves, what the hell is going on?"
I asked again.
The col was close to the road, not too far from the village, and the wolves couldn't have made their home there, I thought.
The woman hesitated, as if she hadn't decided whether to tell me or not.
The man snorted, and he asked me rhetorically, if Lao Potou encounters a wolf pack, can he still survive, if the she-wolf raises Xiaoxue as her own wolf cub, will the she-wolf let Lao Potou take her "wolf cub" away Another point is that although it is deep in the mountains, wolves are not often seen in this area, and if they see one, they will kill another, and wolves are not stupid, and they generally do not get close to people's villages.
After listening to the man's words, I began to wonder if Xiaoxue even deceived me about her life experience, but I immediately reacted, it was not Xiaoxue who deceived me, but Lao Potou deceived Xiaoxue.
"How do you know that Lao Potou is a child picked up in a col and not somewhere else?"
I asked.
The woman said that they originally thought that Lao Potou had really met a wolf, and happened to save the child, because Lao Potou did often go deep into the mountains, but later someone said that they saw Lao Potou picking up a child from the mountain col.
Later, Lao Potou found that person, and then that person changed his mind and never mentioned the matter of the mountain pass, and since then, even if the villagers know that Lao Potou has lied, no one will expose this matter again, and Xiaoxue will survive in the village with the life experience of a wolf girl.
The woman sighed after speaking, she said that the reason why Lao Potou did this was because she didn't want people to think that Xiaoxue was unlucky, after all, there were many children buried in the col, and Xiaoxue happened to be picked up from there, and the people in the village were superstitious, and Lao Potou was afraid that the villagers would not tolerate Xiaoxue.
Some people say that the reason why Lao Potou wants to adopt Xiaoxue is because he is also an orphan, so he sympathizes with Xiaoxue, and besides, he can't marry a daughter-in-law and no one will send him to the end when he is old.
The man shook his head and grinned and said It's a pity, it's a pity that Lao Potou paid so much and died miserably in the end.
"I've heard you say so much, and I don't understand one thing.
What do you mean to say Xiaoxue, oh, it's the adopted child, did she kill Lao Potou unlucky, or did she curse Lao Potou to kill Lao Potou?"
"Curse," said the woman.
I said that since it was a curse, it had nothing to do with whether Xiaoxue was poisonous or not, but that she murdered Lao Potou.
The woman blinked, as if she didn't realize that it was so serious as soon as it came out of my mouth.
"Spells count" "Absolutely.
But what I want to know is, why do you think Xiaoxue put a curse on her adoptive father, even if she leaves, she still has to kill her benefactor, if she doesn't have a deep hatred, will she do this, and you said that she cursed, is there any evidence?"
I felt a breath of blood coming up my throat from my stomach, and I hoped I wouldn't hear that Xiaoxue had been bullied by the old slope head, and I wouldn't hear the true evidence of Xiaoxue's curse.
Men and women all say that Xiaoxue is possessed by a ghost, and she is bad in itself, so she doesn't know how to repay her kindness, so she will kill Lao Potou, and they also say that maybe only in this way can she continue to live, because Lao Potou has always been very good to Xiaoxue and raised her as a daughter.
I was a little relieved to hear them say this, and it was estimated that Lao Po had hanged himself for another reason, but the villagers guessed that Xiao Xue was poisonous, or they thought that Xiao Xue was a witch, a ghost baby or something, and deliberately killed Lao Po Tou.
What the truth is, I'm afraid only the dead old Potou knows, and maybe the old lady also knows.
Later, the woman reminded me to keep the windows closed when I went to bed, because it was colder in the mountains at night, and I was careful not to let in unclean things.
After listening to her, I checked at least three times before going to bed that the windows were closed.
Lying on the kang at night, I looked at the dark night sky outside the window, thinking about the terrifying scenes I experienced in the evening, and I couldn't sleep for a long time.
After Xiaoxue left the village, Lao Potou lived alone for two years, and then one day, he suddenly took out a rope and tied it to the beam of the house to end his life.
After that, the village chief buried him in a mass grave in the col, but he did not die thoroughly, he came out of the earth, became a living dead and quietly returned to the village, and lived in his own house.
Someone must have found that the old man had returned as the living dead, so he sealed him with the light of death, and hid his body in a thick stone wall, and sealed it with a large wall calendar.
Since then, the old slope has stopped, and the person who sealed him must have spread some rumors to keep people away from the house and not discover this scary secret.
But the death of Lao Potou, as well as the light of death, I don't think it has anything to do with Xiaoxue.
After that I fell asleep groggily, and this sleep was so good that I didn't have any dreams.
In the morning, I was woken up by the smell of rice.
The hostess made bean porridge, small pickles, and scrambled a few eggs.
After breakfast, I gave the woman three hundred yuan, thanked her again, and then I was about to leave Potou Village.
Nothing to do with what happens here, at least that's what I think now.
But this trip was not in vain, and I was sure of two things.
One, Xiaoxue didn't go back to her hometown, and I don't know where she is now, so I have to go back to her as soon as possible, maybe I need He Danna's help and let her help me find Xiaoxue's whereabouts.
Second, Xiaoxue's biological parents abandoned her in the col, either passing by and throwing it there casually, waiting for the child to fend for himself, or they knew that there was something wrong with the col and deliberately threw it there.
When I thought of the second question, another voice appeared in my heart at the same time, and that voice said: "Maybe it wasn't Xiaoxue's parents who abandoned her, but she chose the mountain col and left her parents."
I was startled by the sound and shook my head violently to bring myself to my senses.

Walking out of Potou Village and standing on the side of the winding road, I waited for the bus passing by, and the woman said that there would be a bus passing by.
There was footsteps behind him, and when I looked back, it was the old lady again. :\\ She walked towards me with a basket on her back, and I wanted to say hello to her, but she didn't even look at me, and walked slowly past me and onto the road.
After walking a few steps, the old lady suddenly stopped, turned her back to me and said a word very clearly.
She said, "Don't come back."
My heart jerked, "Why?"
She didn't answer me, and continued to stagger towards the depths of the mountain with the basket on her back.
I vaguely saw a hand in the basket, the baby wrapped in a small red mattress suddenly stretched out a hand.
