In the bedroom, the broken hemp rope hung and hung under the eaves, still dangling,

Under the rope, the middle-aged woman hugged her mother, her eyes were red, a little panicked, and scared. In a panic, he kept talking to his mother.

The old lady turned her head slowly, looked in the direction of the end of the bed, silently, and looked at it attentively,

The old man at the end of the bed, leaning over and looking at the old lady, moved in front of the old lady, and paused again.

The old lady's somewhat cloudy gaze slowly moved down, looked at the old man in front of him, the cup that fell and fell to the ground, and slowly raised her head again, looking in the direction of the old man,

The old man stood, still looking at the old lady,

A smile appeared on the old man's face,

The old lady looked at the place, her eyes reddening, some cloudy tears welled up in her eyes, and then a smile gradually appeared.

......

“...... Mom, Mom, don't go, don't just throw our brothers and sisters down......"

With some crying, the middle-aged woman looked at her mother and said,

“...... Fourth, second...... I dropped by to pick up the third ......"

Outside the hall, the older middle-aged man took the younger middle-aged man, and while the two were talking, they pushed the hidden door open from the outside and walked in.

“...... Dick, what are you doing standing at the door of this bedroom......"

“...... Mom she'......"

The old lady's eldest son and third son were talking as they approached the bedroom door.

Glancing at the family, Lian Ge turned his gaze back and took a step to the side.

And the old lady's eldest son, the third son, saw the situation in the bedroom room, saw the broken rope, and the middle-aged woman who was crying, also reacted, took two steps, and walked into the house.

“...... Mom, why are you ......?"

The eldest son walked up to his mother, looked at his mother, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but said nothing.

“...... I was in the hospital just now, and I was still talking about you at the beginning...... Said I missed my grandmother......"

After a moment of silence, the eldest son squeezed out a smile on his face and said to his mother,

“...... Mom, you're ......."

The third son's eyes were a little red,

“...... Mom, can you please not go...... Dad just left, if you leave too......"

The third son looked at his mother and said in a panic,

“...... Mom, you just ...... It's okay, let's go to the hospital, let's go to the hospital......"

At the door of the bedroom, the middle-aged man looked into the bedroom and gradually walked back to the bed in the bedroom.

The old lady listened to the words of her children, slowly turned her head again, turned her somewhat cloudy gaze, and looked at her children one by one.

“...... Okay, Mom promises you, don't go......"

A smile gradually appeared on her face, pursed her lips and smiled, the old lady said to her children, and then slowly turned her head to look at the end of the bed,

“...... Your dad hasn't left yet. ”

“...... Mom, okay, you're not allowed to do this kind of thing again......"

Listening to her mother's words, the middle-aged woman was a little happier, and followed her mother's gaze to the end of the bed.

The other old lady's three sons also turned their eyes one after another, looking at the place,

At the end of the bed, the old man looked at the old lady, at his children,

Eyes seem to meet,

The old man took another step forward, paused again, and looked at it, a smile on his face.

......

Glancing at the family in the bedroom again, Lian Ge retracted his gaze and turned around,

Walked back to the hall, at the table, picked up the bowl of unfinished rice balls, and continued to eat.

The voice of the words in the bedroom, with the gust of breeze, rang in my ears.

......

“...... I tore it down and burned it, so that I wouldn't get angry. ”

“...... Mom, do you want to eat something, there are still some hot rice balls in the pot, Mom, if you want to eat, I'll go and bring a bowl over...... That's okay, then mom, you can rest......"

“...... Mom, this time let's let the fourth child accompany you, just let her sleep in the same room with you, Mom, if you have something, you can call her again...... Mom, follow the fourth child to her house to sleep, so that Mom, you don't feel uncomfortable looking at this house...... That's ......"

With some words, the old lady's children went in and out of the bedroom, busy,

The third son tore off the broken rope from the beam of the house and took it out of the house.

The eldest son helped the old lady to lie down on the bed again, and talked to the old lady.

The middle-aged man and the middle-aged woman opened the messy quilt, cleaned up the clothes scattered from the woven pockets, and picked up the teacup that fell to the ground again.

The old lady smiled and responded, looking at her children and looking in the direction of the end of the bed.

......

“...... Thank you, young man, thank you, if it weren't for you, young man, my mother would ...... now."

After cleaning up the old lady's bedroom, she talked with the old lady for a while, leaving the middle-aged woman to accompany the old lady.

The old lady's three sons came out of the bedroom again,

The middle-aged man approached Lian Ge, said to Lian Ge gratefully, and looked at the bowl with rice balls that Lian Ge was holding.

“...... There are still some rice balls in the pot, so I'll go serve you another bowl...... There are still some dishes in the fridge, young man, if you want to eat something, I'll fry some here. ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man was about to go to the kitchen.

"Thank you, no more bothering. ”

After eating the remaining rice balls in the rice ball bowl, Lian Ge turned his gaze and said in a calm tone.

“...... Don't bother, don't bother...... There's a chicken thigh in the fridge, as well as leftovers from the previous dish...... Third child, there are still some vegetables planted in the field behind the house, you and your eldest brother go all the way to pick some back, and I will take out the vegetables in the refrigerator and wash them first......"

After a pause, he turned around and answered, and the middle-aged man was about to go to the kitchen again, and when the old lady's son and third son heard this, they didn't stay much, so they went out of the house.

"This bowl of rice balls is enough. ”

Putting down the rice ball bowl, Lian Ge stood up, smiled slightly, and said out loud.

“...... This is really neglecting...... Then tomorrow young man, you will leave later, and then you will leave after lunch, and tomorrow morning we will go buy some food and come back...... If you're not in a hurry, young man, let's stay for a few more days, so let's thank you......" The middle-aged man stopped again, turned around and hesitated for a moment, and then said again.

Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the middle-aged man, shook his head slightly, and didn't say anything more.

Turning around, he moved away and walked towards the bedroom he had cleaned up earlier.

“...... Rest early, boy......"

Seeing this, the middle-aged man stepped forward again and said loudly,

......

“...... If anything, just shout, young man, and our brothers will keep vigil tonight to see the candle flame, and it will be in the hall. ”

After another word, the middle-aged man walked out of the bedroom and took the door with him.

Inside, quiet again.

......

Turning his gaze, through the window, Lian Ge looked out the window again,

Outside, the night has deepened, and the oblique moon with some moonlight has hung in the sky.

The lights have also been extinguished in the houses on both sides of the village road.

“...... Squeak, squeak, squeak......"

On his shoulder, the mouse stood on his forelimbs, turned his head and barked twice, with some resentment in his eyes.

"Eat less. ”

Lian Ge turned his gaze, glanced at the mouse, smiled slightly, said a word, and then moved his steps and walked towards the bed in the bedroom.

"Sleep. ”

“...... Squeak, squeak. ”

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Lian Ge closed his eyes, carried the mana in his body, and cultivated,

The mouse lowered its forelimbs, barked twice, and curled up on its stomach.

Outside the window, the night is getting darker.
