After grandpa woke up, everything in the house returned to normal, although Xiaoying is very busy these days, but after all, she is a girl, and her work is still not as good as grandpa's. Although Grandpa is old, his body is still quite tough. He got up in the morning and after eating, he picked up a hoe and took a kettle and went to the field, and when he left, he told Xiaoying to go to school, Xiaoying fed the chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, and after the class, he made a meal at noon and sent it to his grandfather. The grandfather and grandson ate together in the fields.

Xiaoying went to class on the first day and ran into Jian Lin, he saw that Xiaoying's face unconsciously began to red again, but he still mustered up the courage to come up and ask, "Xiaoying, is your grandfather okay?" ”

"It's okay. Thank you very much for the last time. ”

Jian Lin waved his hand again and again and said, "It's nothing, you're welcome." Next time you have something, be sure to tell me. ”

Xiaoying nodded and smiled at him.

The young man's face unconsciously increased in color, and he hurriedly said, "Your homework has fallen behind in the past few days, I'll give you a brief explanation after class." ”

Xiaoying nodded again.

After class, Jian Lin took the textbook and came over to find Xiaoying.

The two men found a place to sit down. Jian Lin explained, Xiaoying listened carefully, and took notes. After finishing speaking, Jian Lin said to Xiaoying with some hesitation: "Xiaoying, I want to tell you something. ”

"Hmm." Xiaoying nodded.

Jian Lin's heart was entangled for a while, and he didn't know how to speak.

Xiaoying wondered, "Is there anything you want me to help with?" You've helped me so much, if there's anything you can do, I'll help you if I can. ”

"No, no, no." Jian Lin hurriedly waved his hand: "I don't need your help either...... But if you can be my ......" He said these words involuntarily, only to find out the gaffe at this moment, his eyes flickered, and he accidentally saw Xiaoying's eyes and couldn't help blushing, fortunately his skin was dark, and he couldn't see it, otherwise he would definitely be looking for a crack in the ground at this moment.

Xiaoying looked at him and thought that he was usually very smart, but there were many strange times.

"Is there really nothing for me to help with?" Xiaoying asked.

"Oh...... No. What I want to tell you is that our family is about to move out. We were joined by a few other families. Will you come with us? Let's be together, with grandpa, and in vain. ”

When he said the word "we", his face turned slightly unnatural. I don't know what comes to mind.

After Jian Lin finished speaking, he looked at Xiaoying with expectant eyes.

Xiaoying was stunned and asked, "Why did you move away?" ”

Jian Lin said: "There are too many sick people in the village. Many people say that our feng shui here is not good, and the yin qi is too heavy. We're afraid of going on like this......"

Xiaoying suddenly understood. It all came so suddenly. She was silent for a moment and said, "I'm not leaving." Stay here with Grandpa. ”

"Xiaoying, it's too dangerous to stay here. I don't want to see you and grandpa get sick too. ”

Xiaoying smiled bitterly, I was afraid that she was already sick. She didn't go to the doctor to confirm. Because even an old doctor with such good medical skills in her eyes could not cure this disease.

"Is the old doctor going to go too?" Xiaoying asked.

"Yes, he's going too. The road is far away, the environment is treacherous, and everyone takes care of each other together. Jian Lin said, sighing, "He tried all kinds of methods, but he didn't find a drug that could suppress the condition." Watching patients die every day is also painful. This time I walked with us because I felt that my medical skills were limited, so I could only go outside to see if I could find some solutions or get some help. ”

Shadow nodded. But I'm afraid that when he returns, the situation in the village doesn't know what it has deteriorated into.

Maybe it's a good idea to go together.

But...... Grandpa probably won't want to leave.

Thinking like this, Xiaoying politely rejected Jian Lin's kindness: "I'm still not leaving." Be careful on the road, we are too closed here, there are almost no people out of the mountain on weekdays, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, and the time is long, so you must pay attention. ”

Jian Lin was a little lost and asked, "Xiaoying, are you really not going with us?" ”

"Hmm. We're not leaving. ”

Jian Lin thought for a while and said, "Xiaoying, don't be in a hurry to make a decision first. Go back and discuss it with grandpa before answering me. We'll leave in two days, and there's still time. ”

Xiaoying hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Jian Lin looked at Xiaoying and said, "I hope we can go together." ”

Xiaoying smiled and nodded again.

Grandpa and Shadow

……

"Daddy, why are so many people sick?" The boy boredly teased the Shar Pei dog lying lazily on the ground, and then asked Daddy. The puppy raised his wrinkled face and big eyes and looked at him pitifully, as if he had been greatly wronged, and the boy laughed and touched the puppy's head. The puppy looked at him twice and lay down lazily.

"They're all too weak. The feng shui is not good, the air quality is not good, and if you stay there all the time, you will get sick. You are not allowed to go in the future. Daddy looked at him and replied with a loving look in his eyes. This son of his is tall and handsome, and he is also very good at studying, and he is the only son in the family, and he is deeply liked by Daddy.

"Oh." The boy replied sullenly. "But isn't Ah Qi there too?"

Ah Qi is an obese middle-aged man who sells people medicine to treat smog.

"Ah Qi is strong, what are you afraid of." At the end he whispered, "A dog, if it dies, it dies." ”

The voice is so low that only I can hear it.

"Daddy, what did you say?" The boy didn't hear clearly and asked. His bright eyes looked at Daddy uncomfortable, I don't know why more and more people have died recently, and he will be a little indifferent in the face of his son's bright eyes, it seems that there is still a ghost in his heart.

However, even if you don't want to do it, you've reached this position, and you can't stop it. If it stops, will those people let themselves go? I'm just a pawn in someone else's hands.

They all knew that the haze in the mountains would harm people, but they refused to stop after all. I can only move far away, in the end, it is still for this huge benefit, so much money, who is not tempted.

I can't help myself.

He sighed heavily in his heart, but said, "It's nothing, it's nothing." ”

The boy stopped talking, thinking about the girl he had met in the village. I don't know why, but lately, her figure has always lingered in my heart. I can't concentrate on anything.

I really want to meet her. The boy thought to himself.

If you have the chance, go there to meet her again, you can secretly go without Daddy.

There was a hint of joy spreading in my heart.

……

At ten o'clock in the evening, Xiaoying went to the field to pluck some fresh wild vegetables, washed and scalded them, took a few eggs, carefully took some salted meat from the jar, and made a few side dishes, and the grandfather and grandson took two small benches and sat down at the low table, and began to eat dinner.

Bai Bai has always been greedy, and when he smelled the aroma of food, he kept twitching his little nose, circling around Xiaoying and his grandfather, and wagging his tail around.

Xiaoying smiled and threw some food for Baibai, and ate it happily in vain.

Grandpa poured some wine, took two sips, and looked out at the sky.

The sky was still gray. Even near night, the thick smoke could be seen drifting through space.

"It's always like this, I really don't know that one day I'm going to be poisoned by this black fog."

Xiaoying remembered what Jian Lin had said to her. I couldn't help asking, "Grandpa, will the black fog here disperse?"

Grandpa shook his head and sighed: "How could it be." As long as those eight lambs are here, the fog will not disperse. I'm nothing, an old bone. There's nothing to be sorry for dying. It's just that I'm worried about you, you're still young and well-behaved, you can't do anything. Otherwise, even if I fight for my life, I will go up the mountain and hack those bastards to death. ”

Xiaoying saw that her grandfather was about to get angry again, and hurriedly said, "Grandpa, don't worry, aren't I okay?" ”

"Besides, I'm not too young, I'm 15 years old."

"Eun." Grandpa nodded, fortunately there is such a caring and sensible granddaughter by his side, who has been taking care of himself, otherwise he may have no hope, and he will go directly to follow grandma.

"Xiaoying, you're 15 years old, are you looking for a wishful husband? Grandpa is also old, so I have to find a good home for you, otherwise I can't rest assured. ”

"Grandpa, what kind of wishful husband am I looking for. I'm going to be with you all the time. Xiaoying said coquettishly. Shaking Grandpa's arm.

"Good, good." Grandpa was amused by Xiaoying's appearance. hurriedly said, otherwise this girl will shake her old bones apart in a while.

"Okay, don't look for it yet, grandpa will help you keep an eye on it first. Our little shadow is so good-looking and smart. You've got to find a guy who can match you. Grandpa said.

"I'm not looking, I'm not looking." Xiaoying looked at her grandfather angrily.

"Haha." Grandpa smiled again, knowing that it was Xiaoying's little daughter's house, and he was shy.

"You really look like your aunt."

When Xiaoying heard this, her heart quickly flashed to the figure she saw in the market a few days ago.

The figure was in a hurry. I didn't see it too clearly, but Xiaoying felt that that person was too much like A-Niang.

Maybe it's because I miss it too much. This world is very big, and she doesn't have a chance to go out, but she knows that there are many similar people, and maybe the people she met are just people who are very similar to A-Niang's body.

Grandpa saw that Xiaoying's expression was wrong, he should have missed his father. Hurriedly changed the topic: "Today's dish is good, eat more, Xiaoying, eat more to be beautiful." ”

Shadow's thoughts were pulled back, and then she saw that her grandfather was putting meat in the bowl. Hurriedly said: "Grandpa, you are just sick and well, so you should eat more." ”

The grandfather and grandson smiled while humbling, finished eating in vain, and looked at it with blank eyes, and Xiaoying threw it some food again.

It's been a long time since I've seen such a scene.

Xiaoying felt very happy.

After eating.

Xiaoying and Grandpa are still warming up by the fire. fell asleep in vain.

Grandpa is hungry today and still drinking.

Xiaoying watched her grandfather drink about two glasses, snatched the flask, and said, "You can't drink too much, save this for tomorrow." ”

The grandfather looked at the wine jug with blank eyes, but understood that his granddaughter was doing it for his own good, so he had to say, "Take another sip, just one sip." ”

"I can't drink it at all." Xiaoying didn't budge in the slightest. The flask was placed on the table.

Grandpa was bored, hummed two small songs, out of tune, and Xiaoying leaned forward and leaned back with laughter.

After a while.

Xiaoying asked, "Grandpa, should we leave the village?" Going somewhere else? ”

Xiaoying asked tentatively.

"What's wrong? Do you want to leave? Grandpa was still thinking about wine, and when he heard Xiaoying ask this, he was stunned for a moment.

"No, no, no, I'm just asking. There are so many people getting sick these days. I was a little scared. ”

"I can't walk, I've grown up in the mountains since I was a child, I've lived here all my life, and my ancestors are here. And your grandmother is buried here, and your father and mother, I will accompany them. It's dangerous, but it's not going to happen all at once. ”

"Xiaoying, let's go." Grandpa looked at her lovingly: "You are still young, there is still such a long way to go, there is no need to accompany me, an old man, to die here." ”

"In two days, I'll go see if anyone is leaving, and let them take you with me then." As he spoke, Grandpa picked up his pipe, lit it, and took two puffs.

Thinking that his granddaughter is leaving him, he always feels a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Grandpa, you don't have to ask, no one is leaving recently. Like you said, it's not that bad here. It shouldn't be okay for the time being. And it's a month's worth of walking to get out of here. The mountain road is dangerous, and I don't know what will happen. ”

"Well, that's what I said, there were always people who went and couldn't come back, and I heard that something happened on the road. It's hard to leave. ”

Shadow nodded.

Grandpa couldn't tell what it felt like in his heart. It felt like a stone had fallen to the ground, and it seemed like I was worried about something.
