37. The elderly and children
"But nothing happened to you. I said.
Xue Wei also felt strange about this, but he was completely awake after those three days, and he naturally didn't know what happened after that scene.
When he opened his eyes completely, he saw Shui Fangling biting his fingers constantly, and his expression was full of anxiety. And Shui Fangling saw Xue Wei wake up, jumped up excitedly, and then threw herself on his chest, and said to him with teary eyes: "I thought you were going to die, if you die, I will really be left alone in this world!"
I was surprised by the girl's heartfelt outspokenness, I thought that ancient girls were shy and astringent, but I didn't expect her to be so straightforward.
Xue Wei said that he was also surprised at the time, and he didn't know what to do, but he thought about it, this girl's whole family was dead, and the only trusted relative betrayed her, and she must be lonely and helpless. So, out of pity, he got up and comforted Shui Fangling, and told her that he would not let her be left alone and would definitely take good care of her, however, what he didn't expect was that it was this passage that made Shui Fangling's feelings for him change.
Baocai listened to Xue Wei say this, just like those street aunts, looked at Xue Wei with some deep meaning, wanted to hear him say more gossip, Chen Yu was more serious than Baocai in terms of Ji Po, he was jealous of Xue Wei's blessing when he came to ancient times when the peach blossoms bloomed everywhere, looking at his face, I shook my head and said, "You also have to have a face like Xue Wei!"
However, Xue Wei didn't have any response to our coaxing and jokes, except for a faint sadness on his face, there was nothing else, seeing his expression, I "chuckled" in my heart, and always felt that something bad had happened later, so I asked Baocai and Chen Yu to put away the gossip and listen to Xue Wei continue.
Xue Wei sighed, not affected by our joking words, he seemed to have an incomparably large number of things on his mind, which made his eyes blur.
He said that when he got up, he found himself in a house with a faint smell of the sea, and he looked around vigilantly, and he saw old fishing tools everywhere in the house, and he was clearly aware that he was in a fisherman's house by the sea.
He asked Shui Fangling what happened during the time he was unconscious? Shui Fangling wiped away her tears and told him that at that time he rolled down the hillside, and she chased after him, but by the time she caught up with him, he was already unconscious, Shui Fangling saw the wound on his shoulder, and was so anxious that she didn't know what to do, so she could only think that he had said that there were living people here, and wanted to find someone to help.
At that time, it was already early in the morning, and the wind was blowing, blowing away the moonlight, bringing heavy dark clouds, and the sky was falling with rain, and the desperate Shui Fangling was afraid that the rain would aggravate Xue Wei's injury, so she reluctantly supported him, and found an abandoned house nearby to shelter from the rain. For this, Xue Wei was very grateful, because he was relatively tall, coupled with his coma, the weight can be imagined, if it weren't for Shui Fangling's heart to save people, he wouldn't be able to stand him at all. At this, a trace of tears flashed in his eyes, but he forcibly held it back.
After Shui Fangling settled him, he had the courage to find the house that was shining with a faint fire, and Baocai said that if he saw such a lamp in such a ghost place, he would definitely be scared to death, let alone go there, so he concluded that Shui Fangling had a deep love for Xue Wei. Seeing that he had no heart to say this, I carefully tugged at the corner of his clothes and told him to shut up, but Baocai didn't care, until Chen Yu pushed him hard, and he closed his mouth stupidly.
Xue Wei said that there was no endless road, and at that time, Shui Fangling found the house of the candle lamp, and the family knew their situation, so they helped take Xue Wei to their own residence, treated his wounds, and took care of him.
I took a deep breath and said in disbelief, "Is there really a living person in the ghost village?"
Xue Wei nodded, at that time he got off the bed, wanting to thank the life-saving benefactor, just out of the door, the wind with a little coolness into his skin, the coldness of the morning light did not give hope, but made his heart extremely gloomy. In the gray light and morning dew, the seagrass houses stood silently beside the trees, like graves.
This is Watergate Village, Shui Fangling said. Xue Wei looked around, the path in Watergate Village was uneven, overgrown with wild grasses, and those wild grasses scraped Xue Wei's ankles, as if ghosts were secretly scratching him.
The sunlight at the sea level gradually showed a hint of warmth to the cold and dead earth, but although there was warm light, it could not bring a trace of popularity in Watergate Village. The doors of the seagrass houses were closed, not because people were still asleep, but because the windows were broken. Objects were scattered everywhere outside the door, most of them dried and all that was left was the bones of a dead man. In the corner of the house there were spiders with dense webs. Heaven and earth were silent, except for the birds, disturbed by the strangers, fluttering away. Its voice was shrill and piercing, like an evil spirit calling to the sleeping people underground......
Xue Wei looked at the lifeless Watergate Village, and kept thinking in his heart, what is going on here? How can there not be a trace of the existence of a living person? He looked at Shui Fangling, and for a moment, he felt that he and Shui Fangling were also dead...... This change of mind came when he saw a fence wall with purple morning glories wrapped around it, and in the fence wall was a thin, gray-haired old man with a dark-skinned boy watering vegetables.
They are real people, old and young, full of life!
Xue Wei looked at them quietly, the old man was tired from farm work, and the child would wipe his sweat and let him drink water, such a warm picture was really warmer than the sun.
Seeing Xue Wei, the old man straightened up, an indifferent smile appeared on his kind face, and he said, "Are you not used to the silence here?"
Xue Wei didn't expect him to ask this when he opened his mouth, so he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
The old man wiped his sweat, supported the ploughing tool with both hands, looked up at the front, and said with emotion: "The land here has its own family, and now it is all barren, and I can't plant it." Hehe......" He smiled bitterly, as if to say to himself: "In the past, I could hear the two husbands and wives arguing next door, but I thought they were arguing at that time, but now I can't hear them......" His voice was very old, old like a dead leaf falling in the wind in autumn.
Xue Wei listened to him silently, he didn't seem to have spoken for a long time, and when he saw a new person, he wanted to finish all the words in one moment. And that child, helping the old man with his work, never said a word from beginning to end. He is very cold to strangers, but he is full of warmth for old people.
