“...... Maybe it was because the boy couldn't see my face, so he wasn't afraid of me, and because he didn't talk to anyone else, he gradually became closer to me. ”

“...... He would also pull me by the corner of his coat and follow me everywhere, asking me curiously what voice he heard and what was wrong...... I'm glad he asks me what I and I always find a way to answer him......"

In the hall, the incandescent lamp on the top shimmered downward, reflecting the shadows of several people at the table.

The middle-aged woman looked at the outside of the hidden and half-open hall, her eyes were a little dazed, and she paused.

“...... And just like that, I stayed there for a few months......"

As she spoke, the middle-aged woman's voice stopped again, looked out of the house, and then fell silent.

"Girl......"

Next to him, the old man turned around, looked at the middle-aged woman again, and couldn't help but cry out.

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge glanced at the middle-aged woman, didn't say anything, and then withdrew his gaze and looked into the distance.

The middle-aged woman said that it happened when she was a teenager, and her appearance now has explained many things.

“...... Knock, knock......"

The chilly breeze blew the half-hidden door of the hall, and the door of the hall slammed against the stool blocking the door.

The cold wind blew into the room, swaying slightly, the middle-aged woman placed it on the table, the heat rising from the cup of tea,

The heat is getting less, and the tea is getting colder.

......

“...... When I got up that day, the old lady seemed to be up early and was already busy in the kitchen with breakfast. I wanted to go to the boy's bedroom and wake him up, as I had done before.

When the boy woke up, I found clothes, helped him put them on, and helped him get out of bed. He pulled me by the corner of my coat, and I took him to the backyard. ”

The middle-aged woman was silent for a while, and then continued, the smile on her face before had faded,

“...... The old lady had already made breakfast. That morning, I ate noodles. The old lady had already put the noodles in a bowl, three bowls of noodles, mine was the largest, and each bowl had an omelette spread out on it. I like to eat fried eggs very much, but the old lady's chickens don't lay many eggs every day, and the old lady will sell some of them, only after a long time, when I eat noodles in the morning, I will fry them. I did it that morning......

Seeing me walk into the backyard with the boy, the old lady beckoned me to sit down and brought my bowl of noodles to me. The old lady and the boy and I sat around the table and, as usual, began to eat breakfast...... I picked up the noodles and began to mix the seasonings on the noodles, and found that there was some bacon under the noodles, and the old lady and the boy also had ...... At the old lady's house, it was already good to have a breakfast like this...... The old lady smiled and said that she had dried bacon last year, and seeing that the weather was about to get warmer, she went to cook it and ate it, so as not to spoil it. He also told me that if you don't eat enough, there is a piece on the board, and you can cut some when it cools......

I was happy to eat that meal, and the boy was happy to eat it...... As usual, while talking, I finished breakfast with the old lady and the boy......"

“...... In those days, the weather changed quickly, the old lady seemed to have a cold, coughing badly, after breakfast, I packed up the dishes and chopsticks, took them to the kitchen to wash, did not let the old lady busy, let the old lady rest. The old lady stood by the kitchen, looked at me, and then walked back into the backyard and sat down at the table. ”

“...... I took the dishes and chopsticks, and started washing the dishes with the hot water that had been heated in the stove earlier......"

“...... After washing the bowl, I took the water and rinsed it again, then turned around and was about to put the bowl in the cupboard, but suddenly stumbled and almost fell to the ground...... I thought it was a slip on the soles of my feet, so I turned around and washed the other bowls I had put in the pot, but as soon as I picked up a bowl, my hand couldn't stop letting go, and the bowl fell to the ground and shattered......

Looking at the broken bowl, I couldn't help but be a little scared, afraid that the old lady would be angry, I hurriedly squatted down and tried to pick up the bowl...... When I squatted down, I started to feel a pain in my stomach, and then, it hurt more and more, and it hurt more and more...... It hurts more than when my dad hit me, it hurts, it hurts......"

The middle-aged woman said, her eyes showing some pain,

“...... It really hurts, it hurts...... I couldn't help it, curled up on the ground, and surrendered in pain...... The old lady quickly went into the kitchen from the backyard and saw it curled up on the ground and asked me what was wrong...... I said, I'm fine, I'll be fine later...... The old lady said she was going to take me to the hospital, I didn't want to go, I was afraid, I was afraid that the old lady would need to spend money on me, I was afraid...... But it really hurts, it hurts...... I gritted my teeth, trying to hold back, desperately, trying to hold back, but it hurt more and more...... In the end, I seemed to lose consciousness from the pain, and I remembered that the old lady seemed to have asked a neighbor to take me to the hospital......"

The middle-aged woman's face became more and more painful, I don't know if it was because of the pain at the beginning, or something else.

“...... It seems that I went to the hospital in the town, and it seems that I have done some tests...... Then, the old lady sat next to me and told me about the results of the examination......"

“...... She sat next to me and looked at me and stopped talking, and then I asked a few times before she told me that I had cancer...... When I came out, after staying in the old lady's house for so long, I already knew what it meant, I was going to die......"

With pain on her face, the middle-aged woman said.

I don't know if it's because of the pain at that time, or because she is forty or fifty years old at the moment.

“...... I listened and looked at her in a daze, and after a long time, I said to her, then let's go home...... She looked at me, opened her mouth, and nodded. ”

“...... When I got home, she asked me to lie down on the bed to rest, I didn't agree, I sat at the table in the backyard, she looked at me and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something...... From the time she got back to the house, she seemed to want to say something to me, but she never did...... She went to the kitchen, cut up the piece of bacon that had been cooked, and brought it to me......

...... I looked at the plate of bacon and didn't eat it...... That day, the old lady sat next to me without going out, as if she wanted to say something to me......

The next day, I still had a faint pain in my stomach, I didn't sleep all night, and when it was dawn, I got up and sat down at the table in the backyard, she seemed to get up earlier than me, and her cough didn't get any better, and she coughed so badly that she sat down at the table...... There was a plate at the table in front of me, and there were many fried eggs on it, and when they saw me getting up, they beckoned me to eat...... I held the chopsticks and looked at her, but I didn't speak or move......

...... She looked at me and finally said what she wanted to say.

She told me and asked if I could give my cornea to the boy. Probably because I'm going to die. ”

The middle-aged woman was talking and laughing, laughing a little crazy, laughing so much that tears were about to come out,

“...... Why do you say she's in such a hurry, why do you say she's so anxious, why ......"

With doubts in her eyes, the middle-aged woman turned her head, looked at Lian Ge and the old man, asked out loud, and said over and over again,

Turning his gaze and looking at the middle-aged woman, Lian Ge didn't speak.

“...... Why, why is there such a hurry, so anxious...... Why, why did I find out......"

The middle-aged woman was talking, laughing, laughing a little maniacally.

Immediately after, the smile on his face froze,

“...... I snapped her eyes out. ”

The tone didn't fluctuate, and the middle-aged woman said.
