@ 50979 媽媽在哪裡？
有一個三口之家，日子過得非常美滿。爸爸媽媽都很愛自己剛滿三歲的兒子，而他們的兒子也非常聰明可愛，能說會道。但好景不長，爸爸染上了賭博的惡習，然後又勾搭上了一個不三不四的女人。結果，這個家裡每天都是父母的爭吵聲和孩子的哭鬧聲。

There was a family of three. They lived happily together. Mommy and Daddy both loved their son, who had just turned three. And their son was extremely smart, cute, and talkative. But the good times didn't last. Daddy got addicted to gambling, and started carrying on with a questionable woman. So their house was filled every day with the sound of the parents' arguments and the child's tantrums.
誰知沒過半年，媽媽突然就失蹤了，爸爸帶著兒子找了好幾天都沒找到，後來也就放棄了。
shéi zhī méi guò bànnián, māma tūrán jiù shīzōng le, bàba dài zhe érzi zhǎo le hǎojǐ tiān dōu méi zhǎodào, hòulái yě jiù fàngqì le .
Who could have predicted that in less than half a year, Mommy suddenly disappeared without a trace? Taking his child with him, Daddy searched for her for several days. But they couldn't find her. In the end, they gave up.
打那以後，爸爸就發現了一件怪事。他觀察到他那三歲的兒子變得沉默寡言，很怕見生人。而且還有意無意地一直盯著自己，眼神中充滿了疑惑。問他，他也不說。
dǎ dǎ nà yǐhòu, bàba jiù fāxiàn le yījiàn guàishì. tā guānchá dào tā nà sānsuì de érzi biàn de chénmòguǎyán, hěn pà jiàn shēngrén. érqiě hái yǒuyìwúyì de yīzhí dīng zhe zìjǐ, yǎnshén zhōng chōngmǎn le yíhuò. wèn tā, tā yě bù shuō.
After that, Daddy discovered something strange. He noticed that his three year-old son had become sullen and withdrawn, and afraid of meeting new people. Wittingly or unwittingly, he was always staring. His eyes were full of doubt. If you asked him about it, he wouldn't say anything.
這天，爸爸看到兒子又躲在牆角盯著自己看。他忍無可忍，一把把孩子拖出來，問他:“兒子，你到底在看什麼？”
zhètiān, bàba kàndào érzi yòu duǒ zài qiángjiǎo dīng zhe zìjǐ kàn. tā rěn wú kě rěn, yī bǎ bǎ háizi tuō chūlai, wèn tā: `` érzi, nǐ dàodǐ zài kàn shénme?"
One day, Daddy saw his son crouched in the corner again, staring at him. He couldn't take it any longer, and yanked the kid out. He asked ``Just what are you looking at, son?"
兒子非常害怕，小聲地說：“媽媽臉上流血了……”。 爸爸說：“什麼？！媽媽在哪裡？！”
érzi fēicháng hàipà , xiǎoshēng de shuō: `` māma liǎn shàng liúxiě le......" . bàba shuō: `` shénme? ! māma zài nǎli? !"
His son replied ``Mama's always on your back. Daddy, why are you always carrying Mommy on your back?"
兒子說：“媽媽一直在你背上啊？爸爸你為什麼一直揹著媽媽？”
érzi shuō: `` māma yīzhí zài nǐ bèi shang ā! bàba nǐ wèishénme yīzhí bēizhe māma?"
As soon as Daddy heard this, he crumbled to the ground.
爸爸一聽頓時癱坐在地上。
bàba yī tīng dùnshí tān zuò zài dì shang.
Later, because the neighbors filed a report, the mother's body was discovered in a river not far from their home. And the little child's daddy was the killer.
後來，因為鄰居的報案，在離家不遠的河裡發現了媽媽的屍體。而小孩子的爸爸就是凶手。
