The night quietly ended. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When the first rays of sunlight shone from the other side of the mountain, Xiaofang Village woke up.

The first thing to wake up was the rooster crow in several courtyards.

Because the grass in the field yesterday had not been hoeed, the father of the third son got up early, ready to do the work while the sun was still not big. When he came out of the entrance of the village with a hoe on his shoulder, he saw a familiar shadow sitting on the stone mill in the morning light.

"Fool, morning!"

The father of the third child greeted the thin boy whose clothes were stained with dew. He has been sitting rain or shine from morning to night for all these years, and the people in the village have long been surprised.

The little third son's father just said hello kindly, and he didn't expect the fool to answer him. In fact, a fool generally does not answer what others say to him.

Who knows, this time, the fool sitting on the stone grinding disc turned his head.

"My name is Ah Ye. ”

Said the fool.

The little third son's father felt very strange. Fools have always lived in their own world and never cared about people. How can I be enlightened today? So he stopped, put down his hoe, and teased, "Fool, do you remember your name?"

When the fool fainted at the entrance of the village, he suffered a chill and fever because of the rain, and when he woke up, he remembered nothing. After getting out of bed, the child sat on the stone grinding plate and looked in the direction outside the village.

At first, the villagers were very curious and asked the thin child, "What are you looking at?"

The child does not answer.

The villagers thought that the child was afraid of life, and they were not annoyed, so they put some wild fruits picked in the field next to the child to express their kindness.

Then, the next day, the child sat motionless on the stone mill and looked in the direction outside the village.

The villagers finally couldn't help it, and pointed around the child.

"Son, what do you sit here and watch every day?"

Grandma Apricot stepped forward and asked.

As if he hadn't heard, the child sat motionless.

Grandma Apricot touched the child's head and asked again.

At this moment, the child seemed to have finally come to his senses, looking at the wrinkled old man in front of him.

"Son, you've been sitting here for days. Are you homesick?"

Grandma Apricot asked kindly.

"Wait for the mother. ”

The child whispered.

The crowd flared.

The child passed out at the entrance of the village and was rescued by the villagers. Then I had a fever and I don't remember anything. No matter what the villagers asked him, he shook his head. He didn't think about it, but he remembered something from the past.

"What's my mother's name?" asked Grandma Apricot.

The child shook his head.

"Where does my mother live?" asked Grandma Kyoko again.

The child is still shaking his head.

"What did the mother say when she took you?" Grandma Kyoko asked after a moment's thought.

This time, the child didn't shake his head, opened his empty eyes and thought for a while, and said, "Mother said don't run around." ”

"What else?"

Grandma Apricot is kind and seductive.

The child didn't think too long this time: "Sugar gourd, pine nut candy." ”

"What?"

The surrounding villagers were confused, but Grandma Apricot understood that this was a common method for adults to coax children.

"Did your mother say that as long as you are obedient and don't run around, she will buy you sugar gourds and pine nut candy?"

Grandma Apricot asked.

The child nodded.

"Then didn't you listen to your mother and ran away?"

Grandma Kyoko said tentatively.

There are also such cases. There are many forks in the mountains, and some children are skinny and run around, so the woman who returns to her parents' house alone with the child may also lose the child due to a negligence.

To everyone's surprise, the child shook his head firmly.

"Nope. ”

Grandma Apocot was confused, what was going on? Could it be that the child was not lost by herself, but ......

Thinking of another possibility, Grandma Apricot was not calm.

How could this be?

Although the kid in front of him was a little taciturn, he looked good. Not to mention the good looks, there is nothing wrong with the body. Such a male doll, how can he never throw it away!

Even if it is difficult to open the pot at home, it is impossible for the owner to agree to throw away this incense root-

In the blink of an eye, Grandma Apricot had several thoughts in her mind.

"His aunt, could it be that there is something wrong with his brain?"

Finally, a descendant saw that something was wrong in the child's dull eyes, and woke everyone up with a word.

At this moment, after being reminded by the descendants, everyone also thought of that layer and turned their doubtful eyes to the child.

Like, is it a little bit of that meaning?

The child didn't talk much since he woke up, and everyone thought that he was recovering from a serious illness and was timid in an unfamiliar environment, so he didn't think about it. And now, when I look closely, I find that he is really a little different from children of the same age.

His eyes were wider than those of a normal child, and his eyeballs were motionless in their sockets like a swarthy ink pellet. Even if it turns, it looks slow and sluggish. Not to mention, he was so slow to react to the outside world.

Grandma Apricot also discovered this fact, sighed and said, "It's really a sin~"

The child didn't understand why so many sighs and regretful eyes fell on him, he still sat motionless on the stone grinding plate, quietly looking at the world outside Xiaofang Village.

He was waiting for his mother.

Mother said, be obedient and don't move.

So he didn't move, and waited for his mother, until that evening there was a heavy rainstorm, and he got cold and fell.

The mother said that when she was done, she would come to pick him up.

So when he got better, he sat and waited at the entrance of the village, believing that his mother would come to pick him up. Because his mother never lied to him. The mother also promised to buy him sugar gourds and pine nut candy.

When they had finished talking, they all dispersed.

A few people who wanted to take in the child looked at the child's appearance and dispelled the idea. Although I don't have a son, I still have a few normal girls. Expecting a fool to provide for his old age is better than counting on those girls who get married.

There is also an old couple who can't bear to look at it, and they also think that they are lonely under their knees and want to take him in. Who knows, but the boy refused.

He lived alone in the ruined temple in the village, and sat stupidly on the stone mill every day without eating or drinking.

The villagers were very pitiful when they saw him as a child, although the family was not very well-off, and they gave him some food and clothing from time to time.

In this way, the child has been living in the village for two years now.

At the beginning, there were still some people who held on to some hopes, thinking that the child was lost and that the family would come to look for him sooner or later. The people who gave birth to these thoughts didn't know that they were moved by the stupid appearance of a fool sitting on a stone mill day after day, so there was a faint expectation in their hearts. Wait and wait, a year has passed, and the last hope in the hearts of the villagers has been wiped out.

It seems that it is really abandoned by the family!

scolded the ruthless father, and by the way, sighed a few words about the child's hard life. The villagers could not help more than to give the children some of the occasional delicious food they had at home.
