It's another year of autumn wind, and crab feet itch. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the early morning, the sky was slightly bright, and someone sent crabs to the house-

More than six taels of crabs were transported to the big kitchen one after another. Because it is the crab season, only strong, only fresh, steamed, while the lid is hot, the paste is paste, yellow is yellow, and the color is very beautiful.

Xiao Taiwei salivated, and every time she felt that she could eat a basket.

But the crab is cold, she is young, her spleen and stomach are weak, and her mother always refuses to let her eat more.

She couldn't help it, so she had to mumble that when she grew up, she would eat a hundred of them in one go!

Mother laughed when she heard this, reached out and took her into her arms, kissed her the cheek, and said with a smile: "Mother hopes that you can grow up slowly......" At the end, her voice grew softer, and she was close to sighing.

The young Taiwei still doesn't understand her mother's state of mind.

She was held in her mother's arms, sniffing the familiar faint incense on her mother's clothes, and gradually became sleepy. Suddenly, there was a loud bang outside, and heavy rain was pouring down from the sky. They sat on the big kang near the window, and the window was still wide open, and when the wind blew, the rain and the sweet aroma of osmanthus were sent in.

The mother hurriedly hugged her and avoided her, and called the big girl to close the window.

Taiwei listened to the crackling sound of the plantain under the corridor being beaten by the rain, and clutched her mother's clothes with sleepy eyes, and muttered: "Mother, I'm afraid of ......"

The mother hugged her tightly, but she quipped: "Now you know that you are afraid, so that you are disobedient on weekdays, and God will be angry." ”

She was not convinced, arched her head into her mother's arms, and argued in a sullen voice: "Don't blame me, the fourth sister is disobedient, she must have provoked it." ”

The mother was amused by her "brazenness", so she had to smile and say: "Yes, yes, my mother's pretty aunt is the most obedient, even if you look at the capital, you can't pick out a second child who is so well-behaved and obedient." ”

"That's not it!" she echoed in a milky voice, triumphantly, and turned her face to look tired.

Her mother whispered a little tune in her ear, and she fell asleep in a short time. When I woke up, it was already twilight outside, and the room was dimly lit, and there were shadows everywhere.

Listen to the sound, the rain is still falling, and there is no light.

Stretching slightly, turning over, and touching his belly with his little hand through his clothes—hungry.

She wanted to see her mother, she wanted to eat.

So she got up, opened her mouth and began to call people.

It was her nurse, Mother Liu, who came in.

Mother Liu has a round face and crooked eyes, always smiling and kind. After lighting the lamp, she squatted down to put on Taiwei's shoes, and said, "The girl slept all afternoon, and I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night." ”

Taiwei looked at her with her hands on her cheeks, nodded when she heard the words, and said distressedly: "How can that be?"

Liu's mother smiled: "It's not good to say, maybe you will be sleepy again after eating." With that, she straightened up, turned her head and shouted outside for someone to set the meal.

Seeing this, Taiwei said "Huh": "Don't you go to your mother's meal?"

Obviously, she said that when she woke up, she would go to have dinner with her mother.

Could it be that she slept late?

She hurriedly asked again, "What time is it?"

Liu's mother replied, "It's just a little past the unitary hour. ”

Tai Wei counted with his fingers, it was the meal, he didn't sleep late, and looked at Liu's mother strangely.

Mother Liu smiled and explained, "Madame is still asleep." ”

"Mother hasn't gotten up yet?" Taiwei was surprised.

Liu's mother said: "After you fell asleep at noon, Mrs. sneezed a few times and felt that her body was a little unhappy, and I was afraid that she was suffering from the wind cold......

Hearing the word "wind cold", Xiao Taiwei interrupted the nurse's words worriedly, and asked anxiously: "Is it serious?

Mother Liu took a thin jacket and put it on her, and nodded her head: "Don't worry, Lang Zhong has been invited, and the medicine has been decocted and eaten, and Mrs. is just dozing off after taking the medicine at the moment, and she must be up after sleeping for a while." You eat first, and when you run out of food, the slave and maid will ask the lady if she is awake. ”

Taiwei is very well-behaved, and when she heard the rumors, she said that she would visit her mother later.

But she didn't expect her mother's sleep to be so long.

She had eaten dinner, and her mother had not yet woken up.

She practiced 20 more big characters under the lamp, but her mother still didn't wake up.

couldn't be idle, she pestered Liu's mother to accompany her to turn over the flower rope, turned over for half an hour, winding around, and finally got impatient. She threw the colored rope on the ground with some annoyance, and said listlessly: "Don't play, sleep." ”

Liu's mother took her to the ear room to wash and change clothes: "The girl will get up early tomorrow, and then go to ask Mrs. for peace." ”

Taiwei washed his hands and nodded, after all, he went to bed honestly.

But maybe she really slept too much in the afternoon, and she lay alone in bed, tossing and turning, wrapping herself in the quilt and wrapping herself into a ball and not falling asleep. I don't know when sleepiness has become a very rare thing.

I was so idle that I panicked.

She lay on her back on the brocade quilt and kicked up her two little short legs.

It's like paddling, it's like a struggle after drowning...... For no reason, Xiao Taiwei suddenly became scared, and her heart was empty, which was not a taste. She stopped abruptly and stretched out her arm to open the tent.

It was quiet inside, but there seemed to be a commotion outside.

It was as if there were many people talking, and as if there were many people running.

The footsteps tapped, tapping, slowly becoming clear in the darkness.

She looked at the chair next to the bed in a panic, it was empty, and Liu's mother, who was on duty at night, didn't know where it went.

"Mother Liu—Mother Liu—" Taiwei shouted in fear as she got out of bed and touched her shoes.

Fortunately, when she touched her shoes, Liu's mother came in from outside: "Why did the girl wake up?" she hurriedly picked up Taiwei and put it back on the bed.

As soon as she let go, she heard Tong Yin whisper softly and glutinously asking herself, "Where have you just been?"

Mother Liu said a little absentmindedly: "The slave maid ate two cups of tea before going to bed and got up at night." ”

Taiwei asked again: "What's the noise outside?"

"Outside?" Mother Liu turned her face to listen to the movement outside, her expression was mixed with a little worry, and after a while, she smiled at Tai and said, "It's nothing, it was the big dog in the old lady's yard that ran out, and now it has been caught, don't be afraid, girl, let's sleep for a while, just after the child, it was still very early in the morning." ”

Taiwei was worried in her heart: "My mother is timid, I don't know if I'm scared." ”

Mother Liu's face changed, and her worries became heavier, but she said, "Don't worry, girl, there is an uncle." ”

Taiwei thought to herself, with her father here, where did she need to worry, so she was greatly blinded, and she really had to go to sleep this time. But she probably still remembered in her heart, she got up early in the morning, when it was dark, and said that she was going to her mother's place to say goodbye, and by the way, she had a morning meal.

I want jade pearl dumplings, chicken shredded japonica rice porridge, and red dates and bean paste rolls......

She counted everything, and when she was about to go out, Liu's mother dragged on, pushed and refused to go.

Too anxious: "Isn't my mother's illness still healed?"

Mother Liu said yes, Mrs. was afraid that you would be sick, so she told the slave and maid to let you go to her in a few days.

Tai pouted slightly, her eyes had begun to redden, she shook her head: "I'm not afraid, I want to see my mother's ......"

"Madame said, girl, you have to be obedient. Mother Liu squatted down, looked at her eyes, and said, "Girl, have you forgotten, you just said a few days ago that you are five years old this year, and you are not a greedy and fun-loving child." You've always been smart and obedient, haven't you?"

Taiwei said with a crying voice, yes.

Liu's mother said: "Then you are obedient, don't make trouble, go back and wait for Mrs. to be well, and the slave will send you over immediately, okay?"

Taiwei raised her little hand to wipe her eyes, and nodded in response.

But she waited a day, a night, and a day...... The mother's health is still not improving.

It was getting dark.

It was getting light again.

In a blink of an eye, five or six days passed.

Taiwei lay in front of the window, looking at the moon cave door from afar, and saw from afar that there was an endless stream of people coming and going on the other end, constantly going to the upper room, and constantly going up and coming out of the upper room. Although she couldn't see the faces of those people clearly, she somehow felt that they were all very depressed.

What the hell is going on?

What's going on?

Why hasn't my mother's wind chill gotten better?

Why does Liu's mother look depressed in the past two days?

Her mind was full of questions, her heart was full of sorrow, and she didn't even want to say goodbye to her grandmother. But if she doesn't go, her grandmother will be angry, and she will blame her mother for not being able to go back, because she still has to go if she doesn't want to go.

She secretly stuffed a candy in her mouth, and then walked towards her grandmother's Minghe Hall on her two short legs.

Unexpectedly, I met the fourth girl Qi Mo on the way.

Siniang's maid tourmaline and Taiwei's maid Bizhu are sisters, and when they met, they talked affectionately. Unlike Taiwei and Siniang, they are never close and never say anything.

Siniang is small, but her mouth is very mean.

Taking advantage of the conversation between the two maids, she leaned over to Taiwei's side, lowered her voice, and said with a smile: "I heard that your mother is sick." ”

Taiwei glared at her.

Siniang didn't seem to see it, she still smiled slightly, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "It would be nice if your mother died of illness." ”

There was a "buzz" in his ears, his eyes were too slightly red, and he pushed Siniang hard.

Siniang was caught off guard and didn't stand firm, fell firmly, and immediately burst into tears.

Seeing this, the faces of the two maids changed greatly, and one hurriedly went to help Siniang, and the other came to stop Taiwei.

Siniang wailed and cried, saying that she was going to complain to her grandmother.

It was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly when his tongue was knotted, and his nose was sore, and tears flowed down. She vigorously waved the maid's hand away, pulled out her foot, and ran in the opposite direction.

She wants to see her mother, she wants to tell her mother how bad the fourth sister is, and how wronged she is-

She ran as hard as she could, and it didn't hurt if she fell.

She just wanted to see her mother.

In the blink of an eye, she stumbled away, and the maid Bizhu couldn't catch up after a little hesitation.

Taiwei ran to the upper room in one breath, and saw that the people around her were scattered, empty and deserted, only her mother's eldest maid Yicui was guarding outside the door, her face haggard and dozing.

In the distance, there were two mothers-in-law under the porch who were sprinkling and sweeping, and they were very serious with their heads down.

Taiwei didn't alarm anyone, and at the moment when Yi Cui was sleeping and closing her eyes, she quietly touched her mother's room. The windows and doors were closed, and the curtains fell, and it was dark.

She cautiously walked to the bed, lifted the tent, and called softly "Mother".

Mother didn't move.

She leaned in and called again.

The mother opened her eyes, saw her, laughed at first, and then burst into tears.

There was no sound at all, only tears falling like broken threads.

I was so panicked that I hurriedly climbed into bed and hugged my mother, and kept asking, "What's wrong?

But her mother didn't answer, just looked at her stupidly, and called her name one after another: "Aunt Qiao...... Mother's pretty girl......"

"I'm here, I'm here, mother!" Taiwei reached out to wipe the tears from her mother's face, and she was about to cry.

"Aunt Qiao......" Mother's hand also touched her face.

The fingertips are cold, like frost and snow in the cold winter moon.

Taiwei shuddered involuntarily.

The mother's pale fingers, like insects crawling in the grass, slammed into her eyelids with a wet chill.

"Mother?"

As he spoke, the fingers on his eyelids suddenly began to exert force. Taiwei heard her mother muttering, "It's all these eyes...... It's all these eyes......"

She didn't know what her mother was talking about, but she was so scared and her eyes hurt so much that she struggled and screamed, "Mother!

My mother was also crying, and the more she cried, the weaker her hands became.

In the panic, Taiwei only felt that her eyelids were light, and her eyes suddenly widened with tears.

A face that was so painful that her eyebrows and eyes were distorted came into view, and she saw her mother hang her hand in a dejected manner.

At the same time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the tent, and before she could look back, someone had already hurriedly stepped forward to open the tent and hugged her.

It's the father!

She swallowed back the screams that had already come to her lips.

Without saying a word, her father strode out with her in his arms.

As far as the eye can see, it suddenly brightens.

Taiwei sobbed and lay on his father's shoulder, looking at his mother through tears. The mother was being pressed on the bed by Yi Cui, her hair was scattered, her face was like a withered face, and her eyes were looking at her for a moment.

She is getting farther and farther away from her mother...... Farther and farther away......

A few steps away, but it's like a moat.

The mother's eyes on that side were sad and desperate that she had never seen before.
