Chapter 106: The Condemnation of Rice (11)
Wang Niuguang waited for an afternoon next to Huangni Avenue in the county seat, a whole day, or two days to be exact. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info But he didn't get his wish until his grandmother, the grandmother who raised him all his life, his only relative.
The summer sun changed from hot at noon to mild silence in the afternoon, Wang Niuguang waited there, occasionally drank a sip or two of water, and did not leave the avenue entrance in addition to this, for fear of missing his grandmother's figure.
Wang Niuguang looked into the distance in a daze, he may not be able to see it today, wait tomorrow, he thought.
In fact, no matter how long, he will wait.
Although he didn't understand why his grandmother left him alone to flee the famine, he still chose to wait for his only relative.
Looking forward to the eyes, wandering back and forth, hesitating steps, and hanging his arms. It was getting dark, and his stomach was hungry, ready to end the day's "waiting".
But it was here that he saw a familiar figure, a family that had escaped from the desert in his village. Since they are all fleeing the famine, it is very likely to know the news of grandma, which makes Wang Niuguang excited.
He ran over with his legs drawn, waving his hands like a fellow countryman waiting for them to come home, greeting them cordially.
"Second Uncle Wang, Second Aunt Wang, you are here!"
Along the way, the dusty second uncle and second aunt saw Wang Niuguang's arrival, and a rare joy appeared on their originally indifferent faces, but it couldn't hide their tiredness caused by hunger.
"It's Ah Guang, why are you here?" the second aunt asked happily.
"I came with someone else. "He who came to escape the famine.
After the second uncle's face was happy, he looked Wang Niuguang up and down, and found that he didn't look hungry, and he was alone.
This means that there is indeed food relief in the county, and his originally panicked heart has also calmed down.
Wang Niuguang didn't think as deeply as Uncle Wang, and after a simple greeting, he said with a look of eagerness to ask his relatives for news: "Second aunt, have you seen my grandma?"
As far as Wang Niuguang knows, the people who fled from the village all traveled together, and they might know the news of their grandmother.
Of course, they are true news, but it is not the news that Wang Niu just wants, but the news of death.
Aunt Wang was shocked when she heard Wang Niuguang ask, and after thinking about it, she showed a sad look again, and said in hesitation: "...... Don't you know yet?"
"What don't you know?" Wang Niuguang was confused.
Wang Er found that she couldn't open her mouth, and looked at Wang Niuguang's eyes, she didn't know how to face Wang Niuguang, who didn't know the news of her grandmother's death, and didn't speak for a long time.
Uncle Wang also understood, sighed, and said slowly: "Your grandmother is dead, because of stealing grain......"
Wang Niuguang was surprised, that unbelievable expression made them feel extremely guilty, but they could only tell him in this way.
Wang Niuguang's eyes widened, and he didn't even dare to blink, and retorted: "Dead? No one told me! Wang Xiao told me that my grandmother had fled the wilderness!"
"Hey, it's not an escape, it's caught red-handed and killed, few people know about it......" The people in the village have tight mouths and can't talk nonsense.
Although he couldn't bear it, Wang Erbo still tried his best to explain the situation, lest Wang Niuguang would misunderstand it in the future.
After listening to what they said, Wang Niuguang's whole person was not good, he stiffened in place and did not move.
The soul is emptied, as if it has been paused by time, and it is frozen in place and rooted.
No tears, no crying, no emotion, no distraction.
Wang Niuguang's grandmother is very kind and kind, and she is a good person.
A good person was beaten to death, thinking of that picture, Aunt Wang sighed, and patiently persuaded Wang Niuguang to say: "Child, you have to live well alone." It's hard to live in this world, living is life, the blessings of your ancestors, even your grandmother wants you to live. "There are many dead people in these years, and it is a blessing to be able to survive.
But he didn't respond.
After a long time, Wang Niuguang came back to his senses, nodded his head, and said in a calm and almost terrifying tone: "I understand." ā
The conversation between the three ended, and the two finally looked at Wang Niuguang who was standing in place and sighed, and then entered the city, and Wang Niuguang has not said a word since then.
The sky gradually darkened, I don't know how long I stood up, Wang Niuguang moved his numb legs, moved slowly, his soul was emptied, lost his soul, and there was no life.
He suddenly found that he had nowhere to go, and he could only choose to return to Xiao Lan's side.
When Xiao Lan saw Wang Niuguang again, his expression was in a trance, and he probably guessed what happened. In other words, I was already puzzled when I heard that Wang Niuguang's grandmother had left him to escape by himself.
So Xiao Lan didn't speak, just divided half of the food in his hand, handed it to Wang Niuguang, sighed and whispered, "Eat something." ā
No matter how sad he was, his eyes were red when he thought that his grandmother was killed for stealing food. But Wang Niuguang didn't have the slightest idea of competing with the food, he immediately took the food handed by Xiao Lan and devoured it.
Eating and eating, his head down, his fingers holding the bowl white, his shoulders trembling, even though the snot and tears were left in the food, he was stunned and did not say a word.
Even if his grandmother dies, he still has to live, not selfishly, just a rebellion against the way of the world.
The sensitive Wang Ya noticed the difference in Wang Niuguang, pulled the corner of Xiao Lan's clothes, and asked cautiously: "Grandpa, what's wrong with Brother Niu?"
"He misses his grandmother. Xiao Lan replied while feeding Wang Ya with a spoon. After Wang Ya listened, she looked at Wang Niuguang and nodded to Xiao Lan, ate the paste, and did not speak......
The three of them have finished eating the grain, today's grain is actually the last stored grain, Xiao Lan took out everything and cooked it, so after the three of them finished eating, they all vaguely felt a sense of satiety, not a swollen stomach.
This made Wang Niuguang, who had calmed down, wonder.
"Grandpa, is there a bit of food today?" asked Wang Niuguang in a slightly hoarse voice.
At this time, Xiao Lan was about to put all the dishes and chopsticks into the bamboo basket, when she heard Wang Niuguang say that, the movements in her hands paused, thought for a while, considered the words, and said what she thought in her heart.
"We have eaten all the food, and we have nothing left to store. ā
"I'm going to go to the commune in the county to grab food. ā
"I need you to take care of Wang Ya for me. ā
Xiao Lan slowly spit out a few words word by word, composing these few words, his expression was calm, as if it was an insignificant matter, as if he had already made a decision and notified you by the way.
But Wang Niuguang, who listened to this passage, didn't think it was a trivial matter at all!
Stealing grain will be killed, he is going to steal grain!
