On the ridge, a lonely figure is getting longer and longer in the afterglow of the setting sun, this is a delicate little boy, although his face is not childish, but between his eyebrows there is a calmness like an adult.

His clothes were tattered and stained with a lot of dirt, as if he had just finished a fight with someone else.

Returning to the familiar dilapidated hut and looking at the old woman sweeping the floor at the door, the little boy distracted himself and ran over.

"Is the child back?" the old woman saw the little boy returning, put down the broom in her hand, wiped her hands on the sackcloth garment, and then opened her arms and took the child in her arms.

"Why are you fighting with someone else again?" the old woman looked at the child, and the joy that had just emerged was swept away, replaced by a look of displeasure.

Seeing that the old woman was angry, the little boy looked aggrieved, and he tried his best to retort: "Lone Shadow didn't fight with them, they started beating my ......"

The old woman put the child down, squatted in front of him, stroked his head with her hand and asked, "Tell grandma, why did they beat you, are you not good?"

"Not really. Lone Shadow's head shook like a rattle, and he puffed out, "They said I was a monster and didn't play with me, so they ......"

When the old woman heard this, the reproach in her eyes slowly disappeared, and gradually turned into sympathy and helplessness.

The lonely shadow grew into a 4-5-year-old child in a few days, and this matter had already spread in the village, and everyone thought that he was a monster, so naturally no child dared to play with him, which was an extremely cruel thing for a child.

The old woman was helpless in her heart, when she first picked up the lonely shadow, she thought that God had pity on their pair of old men and women who had no children and no daughters, who would have thought that this child was so different.

At that time, when the old man of his family found out about the child's strange behavior, he discussed with her whether to put him back in the mountains, rather than staying by his side and being gossiped about, and even being killed by this monster one day, and his death was unknown.

The old woman also wanted to give up, but she couldn't bear it, although the time they got along was short, but in her heart, she had already regarded Lone Ying as her own grandson, and after thinking about it for a long time, she finally gave up the idea of discarding.

"Child, don't listen to their nonsense, how can you be a monster?" the old woman touched the little head of the lonely shadow and smiled, "You were given to me and my wife by God."

Angels are not monsters as others say. ”

"But...... But why am I different from other children, they are afraid to play with me, saying that I will hurt them. Lone Shadow looked aggrieved, lowered his head and said sullenly.

The old woman was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer, but after thinking about it for a long time, she comforted: "Silly boy, everyone in this world is different, some are naturally intelligent and lively, while others are cheerful and good at communicating. ”

"No matter how different it is, you are my good grandson, and that will never change. ”

Lone Shadow looked at the old woman as if she didn't understand, and said with tears rolling in her eyes: "The uncles and uncles in the village are afraid of me, and other children don't play with me, saying that I will hurt them, but I just want to make friends, I don't want to hurt their ......"

"Child, don't cry. The old woman reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of Lone Shadow's eyes, and raised her hand to point to the sky.

A flock of small birds flew by in the sky and disappeared into the distant woods.

"You see, those little birds are born with wings, which are gifts from God, so they can fly freely in the sky when they grow up. ”

"Your difference may also be a gift from God, which is a reward for you and proves that your future will not be unknown. ”

"You shouldn't be afraid, but you should accept and be grateful with a tolerant heart. ”

Seriously, when she first saw Lone Shadow lift a stone several times larger than herself, she and her wife were so frightened that they almost went to see Hades, but apart from these unbelievable things, Lone Shadow didn't mean to harm them, but was curious about her behavior.

Because of this, the old woman insisted on keeping Lone Shadow by her side, believing that through constant contact, she could lead Lone Shadow on the right path.

"Grandma, are you afraid of me too?" Lone Shadow looked at the old woman pitifully, and as she spoke, her small body deliberately retreated a few steps back, deliberately widening the distance between him and the old woman.

Seeing Lone Shadow's move away, the old woman was stunned, and immediately understood that this was his protection of himself, and at the same time, he was also resisting contact with others.

The old woman shook her head, stepped forward and took the lone shadow in her arms, and smiled kindly.

"Why should I be afraid of Lone Shadow, will you hurt Grandma?"

The lone shadow shook her head again and again, looking at the old woman quietly.

"If I won't hurt my grandmother, why should I be afraid of you. ”

The old woman walked to the wooden chair next to her and sat down, put it on her lap and continued: "I am afraid because I am afraid of being hurt, because I feel that it will be bad for me. ”

"But Little Lone Shadow doesn't hurt Grandma, so I'm not afraid, you know?"

Lone Shadow nodded and shook his head, puzzled: "But I didn't want to hurt others, why are you still afraid of me." ”

"That's because Xiao Guying is grandma and also because of the baby, the closest people to the two of us, but others are different, they don't know you, so there will be this kind of resistance. ”

"As long as you are a good child for a long time, the people and children in the village will slowly accept you, and they will not be afraid to become friends with you. ”

Although these words, the old woman was more comforting, but I have to say that for Lone Shadow, who doesn't understand anything, what Grandma said is true.

"Well, grandma, I must always be a good boy and never cause trouble to anyone. The sadness on Lone Shadow's face disappeared, revealing an innocent and romantic smile.

"When a good boy speaks, he must do what he says, and no matter what goes wrong with you in the future, you must look back and think about what you said today. ”

"We must stick to our hearts, treat others with kindness, and never do bad things. ”

"Since God has given you magical power, you should use this hard-won power to benefit others, instead of becoming a weapon for you to oppress others. ”

"Only in this way will there be more and more friends around you, and more people will like you and accept you, do you know?"

"Grandma, Lonely Shadow remembers, I will definitely remember this today. ”

Lone Shadow wiped the tears from her cheeks, happily jumped off the old woman's lap, and trotted all the way to where the broom was placed.

"Grandma, you sit and rest, I'll help you sweep the floor. ”

Looking at the lone shadow whose broom is bigger than others, the old woman's mouth showed a smile of relief, although she didn't know how long she could stay with the lone shadow, but she hoped that the words just said could be useful for her life, even if they were gone one day, at least the lone shadow would not become the object of everyone's spitting and fear.
