As the sun set, a glow covered the entire sky, and the scorching breath gradually faded.

A small stream that twists and turns, from the other side of the mountain, runs through the village. On the track and field path down the stream, the boy led a big ox, humming an out-of-tune tune, walking unhurriedly, the big ox bent his neck from time to time, and quickly took a bite of the grass on the side of the road. The young man didn't make a sound, but tightened the cow rope in his hand, and the ox was in pain, so he pretended to chew the grass blades in his mouth honestly, making a burst of "chirp chirp" sound.

"Daddy, I'm back," shouted the boy as he pushed open the small wicker door of the small courtyard. The young man's name is Zhuo Ren, he is not tall, his body is slightly thin, his eyes are deep, Xu is because he has just come back from herding cattle, his face is black and red...

"Ren'er is back, go wash first, and your father will eat when he comes back" A gentle voice came from the corner of the courtyard.

"Okay, mother," Zhuo Ren replied with a smile and walked to the other corner of the courtyard with the wooden barrel, and at a glance, there was a small tent made of thatch.

After a while, Zhuo Ren walked out of the courtyard in a plain gray robe!

The whole village was immersed in the curling smoke, and the smoke soared into the sky, and then vanished, and Zhuo Ren greedily breathed in the unique fragrance of the new steamed rice of the farmhouse. I took a light breath and looked up, and the glow in the sky gradually faded...

"Why hasn't my father come back yet," Zhuo Ren frowned and muttered to himself, "At this time in the past, my father should also come back, I should have gone to the field to see the crops, the weather is so hot, the water source in the field can't be cut off" Zhuo Ren thought to himself.

"Ren'er, let's come back for dinner first," Mother Yu Jing also came out of the yard at some point, standing behind Zhuo Ren and whispering.

Zhuo Ren turned around and looked at his mother, dressed in green and yellow plain clothes, plain face and white teeth, looking slightly tired, and a few thin crow's feet were faintly visible in the corners of his eyes. Having said that, the moment he turned around, Zhuo Ren obviously saw his mother's retracted gaze and hesitated for a moment...

The mother and son returned to the house, looked at the food on the table for a while, and the table steel still didn't come back...

There was nothing to say, the mother and son simply ate a few bites and dispersed early, Zhuo Ren moved the wooden stool and sat quietly at the gate of the courtyard, while the mother put the food back in the pot and heated it.

Today's night seems to be particularly impetuous, and there are bursts of frog cries in his ears, and the sound of crickets makes Zhuo Ren uneasy for a long time...

Zhuo Ren lay on the bed, completely sleepy, the slightest light through the window, obviously, his mother did not fall asleep.

I don't know how long it took, and the barking of dogs woke Zhuo Ren up one after another. Zhuo Ren got up and walked out of the yard, his mother was already standing in the yard, the green silk on her face was dyed with a thin layer of water droplets, and the lonely figure was pulled by the moonlight for a long time...

"Mother, is Dad back?" Zhuo Ren couldn't help but look at his mother and asked.

Yu Jing stood in place, stunned and smiled, "Not yet, Ren'er, why are you up, go back to the house and sleep" The mother's voice was a little hoarse and uneasy, and Zhuo Ren knew in his heart that his mother must have been standing in the yard for a long time.

"Mother, I'm not sleepy, I'll wait for my father with you," Zhuo Ren said with a smile.

Yu Jing's brows furrowed, and the eyes that looked at Zhuo Ren suddenly became stern, and just wanted to reprimand Zhuo Ren a few words, "Wangwang" At this moment, the big black dog of Lin Feng's family on the other side of the small stream barked fiercely, and after a while, a group of people stumbled over, and the door made of small wicker was brought to the ground.

"Xiao Jing, Ren'er, come and take a hand" A hurried voice came from the crowd. Zhuo Ren heard the voice of the person who came, Liu Sheng from the west of the village. Liu Sheng is a family in the village with a good relationship with Zhuo Ren's family, and he also helps take care of Zhuo Ren's family a lot, and when he sees Zhuo Ren in the past, he has to respectfully call Uncle Liu, Zhuo Ren's impression of Uncle Liu is always black-faced, not smiling, plus he always has a scumbag face, a fierce and vicious appearance, Zhuo Ren has a feeling of respect and fear for him since he was a child. At this time, Liu Sheng's clothes were ragged, unkempt, and his face was already dark, with a lot of bruises and edema, Zhuo Ren was stunned, and hurriedly followed Yu Jing to take over Zhuo Gang who was supported by Liu Sheng...

After a period of scramble, Zhuo Gang lay on the bed, breathing gradually smoothed out, Zhuo Ren sat at the head of the bed, looking at his father under the candlelight, Zhuo Gang's face was more wounds and bruises and swollen than Liu Sheng, and for a while he looked a little older than Uncle Liu, Zhuo Ren didn't know what the concept of coma that Uncle Liu was talking about. He only knew that his father had not woken up since he came back, and his mother had given him a sassafras, and he had not eaten a single bite of the hot food in the pot...

"Brother Liu, what's going on, how are you... Zhuo Gang..."Yu Jing's nervous voice came from the room, Zhuo Ren tightened the thin quilt for Zhuo Gang, got up and walked out of the room.

"Xiao Jing, this matter is a long story, we don't know the specific reason, and we don't know how this happened" Liu Sheng said with an incredible face, stunned, and then said, "Zhuo Gang is fine, wait for him to wake up and talk about it" After speaking, he waved his hand and took a few villagers who were also ragged and covered with mud out of the yard.

"Alas, what's this called," Zhuo Ren vaguely heard Liu Sheng sigh and muttered as he stepped out of the courtyard.

Yu Jing raised her eyes and looked at Zhuo Ren who came out, and saw that Zhuo Ren also had a sad face, retracted his gaze, lowered his head slightly, his expression darkened, and his eyes were hazy...

"Villain, has your father woken up" The next day, Lin Feng sat on the dead wooden stake, looked at Zhuo Ren with a bitter face, and said in a low voice.

When Zhuo Ren heard this, his eyes widened, and he glanced at the two big yellow cows not far away, and said gloomily, "Not yet."

"Don't worry too much, grandpa went to your house to see your father early in the morning, I heard that it's just a skin trauma, it's good to rest for a while" Lin Mad thought for a while and then said with relief, "Yesterday I went to the town to accompany my grandfather to buy a batch of new medicines, I heard that the skin trauma medicine is very effective, maybe after herding the cattle back, your father will wake up"

Zhuo Ren smiled at Lin Feng and didn't answer. He knew that this iron buddy was comforting him, although Lin Feng's grandfather Lin Song was the only doctor in Tianxi Village, and patients from other villages usually came to visit him, and he also heard what Grandpa Lin said in the morning, but Zhuo Ren was still a little uneasy. After all, his father hadn't woken up yet, and he didn't know if Zhuo Gang had left any secret wounds, whether they were serious or not.

Lin Feng saw that Zhuo Ren just smiled and didn't speak, and was silent for a while.

Zhuo Ren's heart is about his comatose father, and it is not as usual. Before the sun set, he pulled a very reluctant big ox early, said goodbye to Lin Feng, and hurried back to the yard.

After settling the cow, as soon as he entered the yard, he saw a kind, white-haired Lin Song walking out of the house carrying a shabby medicine box, "Grandpa Lin" Zhuo Ren looked at Lin Song and greeted him with a smile.

Lin Song approached and touched Zhuo Ren's head, and when he saw Zhuo Ren's expression, he said softly, "Don't worry, child, your father is awake, go and take a look."

When Zhuo Ren heard this, he was full of joy, grinned at Lin Song, and trotted back to the house. Lin Song looked at Zhuo Ren, who had just been sad and disappeared in a blink of an eye, and muttered, "Fortunately, Xiaogang is fine, alas, they are all hard-working children."
