"Grandma, it's me, I'm here again!"

The car stopped at the door, and Ah Jiu waved at the grandmother in the garden to say hello. Seeing that it was him, Grandma hurriedly put down the work in her hand, walked over and said, "You came early, the dog hasn't been born yet." ”

"Grandma, I'm not here to fetch the puppies. Ah Jiu opened the trunk, took the suitcase down, and said, "I'm going to stay here for a few days, is there still a room?"

"Yes, yes," Grandma said repeatedly, "It's all empty, and there is no one at this time." ”

Grandma opened the door, let Ah Jiu in, and said, "Eh, the little girl who came with you last time, why didn't she come with me this time?"

"She's busy with work. ”

"It's all working. Grandma was a little surprised and said, "I thought it was a child who went to school, but I couldn't see it." ”

Ah Jiu smiled and didn't speak, thinking to himself, if IU heard this, how depressed he would be. is known as the national sister of the Republic of Korea, but there are still people who don't know it.

The second time I came to Grandma's house to spend the night, I was much more familiar than the last time. Grandma was also very happy about Ah Jiu's arrival, and kept saying that the dog was about to give birth, and she was afraid that she would not be able to contact him, so she couldn't give him the puppies. Ah Jiu put the luggage away, and gave the pastries bought from the town to Grandma, Grandma was even happier, the pastries are not worth a few dollars, Grandma is not unaffordable, but it takes more than ten miles from here to the town, and it is very inconvenient for Grandma to go down the mountain once.

"Kid, are you having lunch? I'll make you some?"

"No, I ate it before I came. Ah Jiu didn't want Grandma to be tired, although he had no relatives and no reason, but because of his personality, it was still difficult for him to accept such an old man to cook for him. Grandma continued to insist, and Ah Jiu had no choice but to say, "I'm really not hungry, let's eat dinner together." I'll go check it out over there in the kennel. ”

Grandma had no choice but to stop insisting and said, "Okay, I'll go pick up a few eggs." ”

Ah Jiu came to the kennel and looked at the female dog, who was indeed about to give birth, depending on the situation, it was a matter of two or three days. are as thin as dry wood. When he is dying, he will only open his eyes when he sees someone coming.

Ah Jiu squatted in front of it, looked at it for a long time, and sighed. Those who practice martial arts have a very keen sense of 'qi'. All the energy of this is about to be exhausted, and in short, it has 'run out of oil'. Its ability to live now instead of die is largely due to its persistence in the child in its womb. It wanted to give birth to them and fulfill one last long-cherished wish. But in its current condition, even if it persists until the day of normal production, it should not have the strength to produce. The result is already predictable, the fetus is stillborn, and both mother and child die.

"Why are you so troubled?" Ah Jiu gently stroked the bitche's dry hair, sighed, and pressed his hand on its waist and abdomen. snorted. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he stuck out his tongue and licked his hand.

"I can't save you. But it should allow you to give birth to the baby. Ah Jiu didn't know if this could understand its words, but from the eyes that looked at each other, he felt that the meaning should have been conveyed: "I just don't understand, you don't have the strength to give birth to it, and you don't have the ability to raise it, why do you have to insist so much? Will the result be any different? You are destined to die." I can't see your child, how do you know if it's doing well, in case it doesn't have a good time and wanders in this world, it's better to die with you. ”

"Even if it's doing well. He doesn't know you either, and maybe hates you......"

The eyes didn't know when they were moist, Ah Jiu closed his eyes hard, raised his head slightly, and after a while, got up and left.

……

Ah Jiu originally wanted to cook by herself, but Grandma insisted on refusing. Ah Jiu had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and help Grandma light the fire. The stove was outside, and the firewood didn't have time to chop. Grandma said that she would go to the neighbor's house to borrow some firewood first, but was stopped by Ah Jiu. When he was on the mountain, he did this work for five or six years, and he chopped it with his eyes closed, if he was stumped by this, and turned around and let the master and brother know, wouldn't he be laughed off his big teeth?

With an axe in his right hand, the sound of chopping wood was rhythmic, and it was done in a short time. Ah Jiu had just put the axe away, and suddenly his mobile phone rang, and he took it out and saw that it was Krystal's number, and hurriedly hung the Bluetooth headset to his ear.

"Why?"

Ah Jiu picked up a piece of firewood and threw it into the stove pit, saying, "Chop firewood." ”

"Chopping wood?" Krystal asked, confused, "Are you roasting?"

"I'm in Jingshan, living in a grandmother's house, just the two of us, why am I embarrassed to stay by myself and let the old man chop firewood?"

"Are you really going to Jeongseon?" Krystal's voice was filled with unconcealed joy and happiness, but he still asked uneasily, "Is it just you?

The corners of Ah Jiu's mouth hooked up a wicked smile, and he said deliberately: "Yes." ”

"Huh?"

"Luo PD was busy editing, and said that he would come over with Park PD in two days. Ah Jiu pretended not to understand, and continued: "I'm just a newcomer, how can Luo PD leave it to me with confidence for such a big matter." ”

"I see, I thought it was ......," Krystal said halfway through, when he suddenly realized that something was wrong, his snort became heavy, and he snorted, "You, have been bad lately." ”

Ah Jiu continued to pretend to be stupid, and said innocently: "What's wrong with me, how can I become bad?"

"It's just going bad. Krystal said 'domineeringly': "Although I don't know what's going on, it's not the same as before, and I think it's because of the relationship between those women, I'm not allowed to meet them in the future." ”

"Which women?"

"IU and Taeyeononi, together they are called women. Krystal said, suddenly feeling bored and said, "It's boring, it's boring, I really want to go back to China, I really want to eat spicy rice cakes." ”

"Hmm...... When you come back, I'll take you to eat. ”

"You know what? I didn't bring a pack of ramen this time, oh my God, how am I going to live these days. ”

Ah Jiu couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's not that serious, aren't you an American, will you still be uncomfortable in the United States?"

"When I was a kid in the United States, I grew up in Korea. Krystal snorted, obviously very dissatisfied with Ah Jiu's incomprehensible feelings, and suddenly her tone changed again, full of coquettishness: "Honey, we are now one on this side of the earth, one on the other side of the earth, do you miss me?"

"Uh......" Ah Jiu grinned, feeling tense all over, and said, "This title?"

"Just call me dear!" Krystal was furious and bluffed, "You call me first, hurry up and call me dear, now you want it, I want to listen to it now!"

"Okay...... Dear, love, ......" Ah Jiu cleared his throat: "Honey, it's okay, right?"

Krystal pursed his lips and laughed happily, rolled on the bed, and was about to say something more, when suddenly a smile froze on his face.

Jessica was leaning against the door, staring at her, for an unknown amount of time. (To be continued......)
