Chapter 23: Killing Demons and Eliminating Demons is the Vicissitudes of Life (3)
Out of the rough room came an old man on crutches and trembling as he walked. She www.biquge.info full of silver hair, but her wrinkled face looked very peaceful and kind. She couldn't see with both eyes, and relied on a cane to measure the way ahead to see if there was any obstruction.
"Li Si, are you going home?" The old man asked.
This affectionate call made the three girls freeze in place. The old woman staggered over and greeted Li Si with a smile. She hadn't seen her son for a few days, and the joy on her face was self-evident.
"Sister Xiaoxian, why are you here? Which old woman and who is it? Zhou Miao asked.
"Isn't it Sister Xiaoxian, your relative?" Wu Xiu'er asked.
"Don't talk nonsense." Xiaoxian Road.
Looking at the desolate house in front of him, as well as the old man who greeted him with a smile, Xiaoxian thought of Li Si, who committed suicide not long ago, and a wave of sadness inevitably rose in his heart. How long will this family survive after it is shattered? Xiaoxian didn't understand why Li Si chose to commit suicide to end his life.
From the point of view of the house, it is really devastating.
Judging from the old mother at home, the kind old woman came over and asked Li Si with concern if he was back, and that concern was definitely not fake. With this care and love, it is enough to warm a person's life. From this point of view, it is not the reason for Li Si's collapse.
I don't know what other reason caused Li Si to make up his mind?
Xiaoxian took a difficult step and walked over. Pulling up the two girls Wu Xiuer and Zhou Miao who were standing behind her, when she didn't know how to start, the old woman took the initiative to ask, "Little girl, are you lost?" ”
"Uh...... Sort of. "Little Immortal Dao.
"Mother-in-law, are you alone in this house?" Zhou Miao asked.
"Mother-in-law, a few of us are not familiar with this place, can I ask you for some news?" Wu Xiu'er asked.
Although these two little girls didn't know what Xiaoxian wanted to do, they still cleverly agreed. As long as it is something that Xiaoxian is willing to do, they will help to do it. Because of this agreement, two people with a very high contract spirit looked at each other and smiled.
The old woman smiled kindly and led the three of them into the rough room. Walking into the room, everyone once again refreshed their cognition. The poverty here is not simply poor, it is simply unprecedented poverty. This poverty made them not only surprised, but also distressed.
It is a terrifying thing for an elderly person to live in such a poor environment.
The three of them stood awkwardly, trying to find a place to sit, but couldn't find it. The three of them looked at each other, not knowing how to speak. At this time, the old woman smiled and said: "I'm really sorry, the family is small, and it's not very good, if you don't mind, you can sit on the stone bench at the door, usually the old man is basking in the sun on the stone bench, waiting for my son and grandson to come back." ”
Wu Xiu'er and Zhou Miao breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran out. At the door, I saw a long stone bench, which was very clean, as if it had been scrubbed regularly. The stone was shining, and there was an old man sitting there, eagerly awaiting his son and grandson who would return from afar.
"For thirty years, I sat on a stone and waited until dawn until dark, waiting for my son and grandson to return. Don't look at my family like this, in fact, my son has a home elsewhere, and he repeatedly wants me to come over, and I still want to enjoy this old bone, and I don't want to move out after living in this place for a long time. ”
The old woman staggered out, and the little fairy supported her. Xiaoxian placed the old man on the stone, and the old woman touched the stone, reminiscing about the past with great nostalgia.
Wu Xiu'er and Zhou Miao stood aside, holding their arms. They looked at the old man who stayed in their memories, and their hearts were a little melancholy. I invariably thought of my sixtieth year, and I didn't know what state I was in at that time. From the old woman's words, I learned that there was another good place in her house, but the old woman was unwilling to move away. This place, there are so many memories to be nostalgic about.
"You have a son, you have grandchildren, why don't you take care of your little grandson at your son's house? This place is certainly worth remembering, but wouldn't it be nice to come back once in a while? "Little Immortal Dao.
The old woman patted the back of Xiaoxian's hand and looked into the distance with a long gaze. "At this age, it's nothing to suffer a little sin. My son sold the family house the other day just to see my poor grandson. My old bones can't help him much, so I don't want to mess with him. ”
"Is your grandson sick?" Fairy asked.
This topic attracted the attention of Zhou Miao and Wu Xiu'er. They looked back at the destitute house, and then thought of the old woman's grandson living in the hospital, and immediately understood the old woman's helplessness.
The old woman smiled and said, "My poor little grandson is only three years old and very strong. I asked him if his heart hurt, and he comforted me and said that it didn't hurt, and he couldn't bear to look at my old bones' tears. Alas, how did my sensible little grandson get such a serious cancer when he was born, and he didn't have many years left to live. If you change your heart, you can continue to live. ”
For a moment, the three girls were relatively speechless. With tears in her eyes, Wu Xiu'er lay on Zhou Miao's shoulder, a little choked. Zhou Miao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her eyes were also red. Xiaoxian sighed leisurely, a little sad.
Xiaoxian understood Li Si's helplessness, his helpless choice. His choice was to exchange his life for his son's life. A great father, but also a father with great courage. He reluctantly chose this extreme route and did not ask anyone for help.
Maybe it's because the world is cold, and everyone he turns to for help hasn't helped him. Neither acquaintances nor strangers reached out to help, nor did they give his son hope. The cost of medical care is too heavy. He was so overwhelmed that he finally had no choice but to choose a path of no return.
"What hospital is your grandson in?" Xiaoxian Road.
A tear slipped from the corner of the old woman's eye, and she took out a white but old handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corner of her eye. She looked into the distance and shook her head. "I'm an old blind man, and even if I know which hospital it is, I can't see my grandson, and I can only tell by my voice whether my grandson is good or bad. Ay...... I would love to see my grandson, poor little fellow, who has been afflicted by his illness. ”
"Did your son tell you what hospital your grandson is in?" Zhou Miao said.
"It seems to have been said, what is it called the First People's Hospital." The old woman recalled, it was about such a name.
Xiaoxian raised his head and looked at Zhou Miao who was standing aside. "Do you know where it is?" ”
"Sister Xiaoxian, there are eight hospitals in this city that claim to be the First People's Hospital. If you want to find it, you have to find eight houses~" Wu Xiuer took the initiative to explain.
Zhou Miao pondered for a moment and said, "I know the routes of these eight families, and it is not difficult for each family to find the past. Sister Xiaoxian, can you tell me why you are here? ”
At this time, Zhou Miao had already sensed that something was wrong. Xiaoxian seems to have come here with some kind of purpose in mind, not to listen to the old woman talk about her misery aimlessly. What purpose did this little fairy have, which made Zhou Miao vigilant in his heart.
