I saw that the figure was getting closer and closer, and it was getting clearer and clearer.

It seemed to be a small, rickety old woman, with gray hair, unkempt hair, shabby clothes, patches layered on top of each other, and it was impossible to see what she was.

The crutch she used was originally an ordinary wooden stick, the bottom of the stick was stained with half-dried soil, and the body of the stick was very rough, only the end of the handshake, which was smooth by the rough hand and sweat.

Her hands on crutches trembled, her legs and feet trembled with each step, as if they could no longer support her body, and her knees remained bent, as if they could no longer be straightened after too many long journeys.

She walked and walked, suddenly looked up and saw Lin Suqing, first stunned, as if stunned, about the messy hair in front of her face made her unable to see clearly, she quickly raised her hand tremblingly to pull away the hair in front of her face, and when she looked at it, she was even more shocked, and then she stretched out her hand to Lin Suqing, stretched out far away, and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say a word for a long time, probably because her throat was so thirsty that she couldn't make a sound.

Lin Suqing saw that the old woman wanted to greet him, so he hurriedly ran up, but suddenly stopped when he ran closer.

He didn't dare to believe it, his eyes widened, his throat rolled, and he couldn't speak.

The two stood face to face, and the woman, whose face was full of sorrow, before she could speak, tears flowed down her face, and the tears flowed through her face, leaving deep marks, at least not combed for many months, and her hair was knotted.

Lin Suqing couldn't say a word, her eyes were red, the tip of her nose was also red, her tears were hot, and she was sobbing. But he couldn't cry, he couldn't help but cry, he couldn't bear the bruises on his temples, the corners of his lips kept twitching, he trembled all over, he couldn't help but step forward, he stepped back softly, and knelt down in front of the old woman.

The old woman trembled and tried to help him, but she couldn't, so she gave up.

Just like that, they looked at each other with tears on their faces.

The old woman's weather-beaten face was covered with wrinkles, and her neck was loose and wrinkled. Her skin was rough and burnt, with many cracks in the dry, and there were a few sun-burned brown spots on her cheekbones that spread down her cheeks, even down her neck, and down to the backs of her hands......

Her eye sockets were deeply sunken, and the large and swollen eye bags lowered her eyelids, turning them into narrow triangles, and her eyes were cloudy, which could reflect Lin Suqing's face.

She trembled and stretched out her hand, wanting to touch Lin Suqing's head, but when she was about to touch it, she stopped, and slowly and reluctantly...... Took it back. His fingers were slightly retracted, afraid that his own hands would stain his hair.

Lin Suqing grabbed her withdrawn hand, pulled it gently, and covered her face, her hand was very cold, her palm was very rough, and the old and new cocoon scars rubbed against his face, real and complete.

She silently shed tears and looked at Lin Suqing silently, her tears never broke, but her cloudy eyes were full of smiles. At the moment, she is very happy, very happy, very satisfied.

"Mother......" Lin Suqing cried out in a lost voice, her voice was always pulling in her throat, and she became dumb as soon as she opened her mouth.

The old woman smiled on his cheek with tears in her eyes, and said kindly: "I used to call my mother, but I suddenly changed my words...... But it's also very good, it's good to call anything, and my mother is happy to hear it. ”

Lin Suqing didn't know how to respond, he suddenly forgot all the grievances he had suffered, and suddenly couldn't remember all the things he wanted to say, looking at the person in front of him, he only felt incomprehensible and unimaginable. Why did he suddenly get so old, he felt aggrieved for his haggard and vicissitudes of life, she was so good, so gentle, so kind......

Why can't time treat her well, why does it make her age so fast, why ...... Why did you make her slim, why did you make her back rickety, why did you make her hair gray...... Why......

"Son, get up, the ground is damp, don't hurt your knees. The old woman gently threw away the crutches and reached out to help him, but one of them did not stand firm and almost fell, Lin Suqing hurriedly got up to support her.

He bent his knees to hold on, and when the old woman had stood firm, he carefully got up, and kept an eye on the old woman's knees, and he tried to slowly help her up completely, but found that her knees could not stand up straight...... My heart twitched.

Reached out and wiped the tears on her face with her sleeve, and saw that her cloth clothes and pants were not what she wore in the original world, and she should have been here for a long time.

"Mother. "Somehow, he can't call the name of the world over there, and he can't change it back. He took the old woman by his hand, looked around, and when there was no suitable place to sit, he helped her to the side of the boat, and walked carefully and slowly.

"How did you get here?" chatted with her as he walked.

"Alas......" the old woman sighed, "you suddenly disappeared, my mother called the police, I couldn't find it after looking for a few years, my mother went everywhere to burn incense and worship the Buddha, the Taoist temple also entered, the temple also entered, I beg the Bodhisattva and the gods to bless you with peace and good luck......"

As she spoke, her tears welled up again, she raised her chapped hand, wiped away her tears, and said a little choked: "Later, there was a Taoist temple, when my mother went to worship, the Taoist chief asked my mother - is it because of the disappearance of the family? He said that he was still alive, he knew where it was, but he didn't know the specific location. ”

The old woman's tears flowed and flowed, and she wiped and wiped them with the back of her palm, and said, "Mother is coming to you." ”

Lin Suqing turned around and hugged the old woman into her arms, she couldn't hold back her tears, and when she didn't see them, they dripped down.

"Mother, don't say it, your suffering son can't listen to it. "Just thinking about it makes my heart feel like I have been cut by a thousand knives.

"It's good to be safe, it's good to be safe...... the old woman patted him gently, smiling with tears, "Seeing that you are safe, my mother can be at ease even if she dies...... Peace is good......"

"Everything is fine with my son. Lin Suqing said.

Those who once wanted to vomit bitterness, wanted to complain, wanted to talk about grievances, and wanted to confide in words...... It's gone, it's gone. Everything is fine, you don't have to worry.

He knew in his heart that this might just be an illusion, and what he was holding in his arms might just be an illusion. But it's all so realistic, so intimate......

That's it...... Let him deceive himself, let him fall into it, and let him covet this little bit of beauty first.

Only he knows how long he has been waiting for this moment, how hard he has waited, and how bitter he has waited. So be it.

......

He helped the old woman to the old boat, and he jumped on it, picked up a little dusty stool, washed it by the lake, and wiped the water with his robe, and then moved over, and sat down with the old woman, while he sat down on the old woman's side, leaning on her legs, as he had done in childhood.

They looked at the lake and looked into the distance, Lin Suqing closed his eyes, wanting to enjoy it slowly, even if everything was fake, he wanted to cherish this moment and remember this feeling.

"Son. The old woman's throat was so dry as she spoke.

"Mother, you wait a minute, my son will go and fetch you some water to drink. ”

Lin Suqing hurriedly got up, quickly ran to the side to pick some wide fresh green leaves, ran back, rolled up the green leaves, and went to the lake to clean the water. When the water was drawn, he also specially swung it, swinging away the upper layer and only hitting the bottom. Although the water is already clear, it feels cleaner this way.

While he was fetching water, the old woman said, "Son, go back with your mother." ”
