It's winter vacation! Lin Yuanchen got up at four o'clock in the morning, carried a yoga mat, and came to the park in the town that was rebuilt from the Qingming Dynasty, and it was exactly five o'clock when the park opened.

In the park, some old men and women who played Tai Chi and danced fan dances came in twos and threes.

Lin Yuanchen spread out a yoga mat on the grass next to the Jiuqu Water Pavilion in the middle of the park to meditate, and at this time, the cold morning breeze blew, and her mind was clear.

After eighteen sat down, three hours had passed, and it was eight o'clock in the morning, when she opened her eyes, she saw a tall and thin old man in a white robe looking at her in the Jiuqu Water Pavilion opposite.

The old man was not young, at least eighty years old, and the skin on his face was wrinkled and twisted, but he had shoulder-length white hair, draped behind his head, and his white robe was loosely covered over his body, making him look even more skinny.

Lin Yuanchen looked at him, and the old man bowed his head with a smile and lowered his head slightly, as if he wanted to call Lin Yuanchen over.

Lin Yuanchen looked at the old man's eyes full of endless meaning, and even walked into the water pavilion.

"Grandpa, are you here alone? Are you also here to exercise early? ”

The old man nodded for a while, but he didn't answer the question correctly: "Little girl, what a beautiful little girl, how old is it?" ”

Lin Yuanchen thought to himself, probably because he was a little degraded when he was older, so he didn't care about him in general, and sat side by side beside him: "I'm seventeen years old, and I'm about to be eighteen." ”

The old man's palm was close to the root of his ear and approached Lin Yuanchen: "Little girl, I can't hear what you're talking about, my ears are not good, my ears are not good." ”

Lin Yuanchen leaned over to the root of his ear and raised his voice and said, "Grandpa, I'm eighteen!" ”

At this time, on the lawn around the rockery in the west, several middle-aged people were singing karaoke, and a woman was singing the "Tianzhu Girl". The song drifted gracefully, and I only heard her sing, "Who sent you to me?" It's the round moon, it's the babbling mountain spring, I'm like the petals with dewdrops, sweetly attaching you to ......"

The old man said quietly: "Little girl, listen, is someone singing?" ”

Lin Yuanchen smiled and said, "Yes......"

The two looked at each other silently, Lin Yuanchen saw the old man's eyes as clear and clean as clear water, and suddenly he was in a trance, and he seemed to see an indescribably handsome face in the afterglow of his eyes, and he lost his mind.

The old man laughed innocently: "Little girl, this song is very good." When he opened his mouth, Lin Yuanchen saw that in his mouth, his teeth had fallen out, and his speech was a little leaky.

Looking at the pink gums in his mouth, Lin Yuanchen somehow felt an indescribable sourness rise in his heart, and he felt infinite pity for this old man.

The old man seemed to have an investigation at this time, and said like a child: "Little girl, your teeth are growing very well, and your teeth are very good." ”

As soon as these words came out, the sourness in Lin Yuanchen's heart intensified, and he picked up a bottle of juice in his coat pocket and said, "Grandpa, do you drink fruit juice or not, it is freshly squeezed and not sweetened." ”

The old man took the juice and stroked it a few times, but he didn't drink it, shook his head and gave it back to Lin Yuanchen.

Lin Yuanchen saw that the other party didn't drink, but he was frustrated in his heart. Looking at the old man's bulging hands and slender neck, Lin Yuanchen somehow remembered his illness in his heart.

"Will I be like him when I'm old?" A strong sense of loss enveloped her, and she lowered her head and remained silent.

"Is the little girl married?" The old man's eyes were still clear.

Lin Yuanchen replied faintly: "No, I don't want to get married for the rest of my life." ”

"Don't get married? Then at home, at home. The old man stretched out his bulging hand and pulled Lin Yuanchen's hand over, rubbing it for a while.

Lin Yuanchen didn't mind, but the more the old man rubbed her hand, the more sympathy she felt in her heart: "Grandpa, do you have children?" Children? ”

The old man put his hand to his ear again at this time: "Little girl, what did you say?" ”

Lin Yuanchen repeated it several times in a row, but he couldn't hear it clearly, so Lin Yuanchen had no choice but to give up and no longer ask.

At this time, the old man took a shabby garment from his side, took out a needle, a ball of thread, and threaded it with a thread, and wore it three times, but could not wear it. The old man glanced at Lin Yuanchen intentionally or unintentionally, and Lin Yuanchen's eyes rolled: "Grandpa, I'll help you wear it." ”

After receiving the needle and thread, Lin Yuanchen only used it once to thread it. The old man laughed like a child: "The little girl has good eyes, too!" ”

The old man began to mend the worn garment with needles and threads.

Lin Yuanchen watched his movements, just like the same, stitch after stitch, Lin Yuanchen suddenly rolled in his chest and wanted to gag, retching a few times, before calming down.

He looked at the dress again, and it was already worn-out and unrecognizable: "He seems to like this dress very much, could it be that his deceased wife bought it?" Lin Yuanchen guessed.

Watching the old man sew up the clothes one by one, Lin Yuanchen suddenly remembered himself: "Will I be like this when I get old?" Unaccompanied, looking at their beloved things, worn-out and tinkering, coming and going alone? And then talk to a stranger around you? Will people talk to me like I do now? Thinking inadvertently, a line of tears flowed from Lin Yuanchen's eyes.

The old man looked at her, but did not speak.

"Teacher Yu asked me if I have a Dao heart, what is my Dao heart? Am I really a person who has no pursuits? Do you have to live such a lonely life in the future? The more she thought about it, the more tears began to fall, and at last she simply turned her back to the sky and closed her eyes.

At this time, a middle-aged woman passed by, and the woman cast a meaningful look at the old and the young, and walked up to the old man and said, "Old uncle, don't sew, what else do you sew on such a torn clothes?" I'll bring you two pieces of clothing tomorrow. He looked at Lin Yuanchen again and said to Lin Yuanchen, "Little girl, what are you doing here?" Have you eaten breakfast? ”

The old man looked at Lin Yuanchen fixedly, wanting to see how she would react.

Lin Yuanchen opened his eyes and smiled at the middle-aged woman: "Auntie, I'll go to breakfast later, are you here for morning exercises?" This grandfather seems to like this dress very much, so let him sew it. ”

The middle-aged woman cast another indescribable glance at the two, turned around and walked out of the water pavilion.

A look of relief flashed in the old man's eyes.

The old man finally broke the thread in his hand and draped his clothes over his body: "Little girl, look at it, how is the sewing?" ”

Lin Yuanchen looked at him, and a bright color appeared in his eyes: "Grandpa, you are so amazing, you can't tell from the outside that it has been sewn and repaired, it is exactly the same as ordinary clothes!" "This dress is worn on the old man's body, and it has a bit of a sense of structure, which is completely different from before.

Lin Yuanchen's eyes were full of emotion, and he seemed to have an understanding in his heart, and suddenly burst into a smile: "Grandpa, thank you!" ”

"No matter how you live, you have to live beautifully, time is not easy in everything, everyone is the same!" Lin Yuanchen said secretly to himself in his heart.

The old man waved his hand to Lin Yuanchen: "Little girl, I'm leaving, I'll go to the library to read the newspaper when I have time in the future, and I'll go every afternoon." See you tomorrow! ”

Lin Yuanchen smiled at him and said, "Goodbye." ”

I sat alone for a while, looking at the depression of the lake, but my heart was open.

At this time, a voice in the air said coldly: "Feng Yuluan, now you are satisfied, is your heart disease cured?" ”

A divine thought came from afar: "Zhang Shaotong, you don't have to worry about my affairs!" (To be continued.) )
