Chapter 2: The Return
"Hello! Whoa! Wake up! Wake up! Look at Big Brother! Whoa! The moment the memory came back, Zhou Wanwan felt a hand shaking her vigorously, and the anxious call in her ear made her wet eyes before her brain could react. Without making any judgment, she knew that this was the eldest brother, the eldest brother was holding her, the eldest brother was talking to her, and the eldest brother was still alive! As long as the eldest brother is alive, as long as the eldest brother can live well, she is willing to pay any price and is willing to exchange anything for herself......
"What's the call! All five girls are dead! What are you doing with a dead kid again! An old lady shouted in a straight voice, her voice was extremely sharp, like a thin thread pulling in Zhou Wanwan's head, extremely uncomfortable.
"You're not dead! You're still angry! Who threw my sister out!? A boy who was more immature than the eldest brother's voice was shouting vigorously, although Zhou Wanwan couldn't open his eyes to look at him, but his anxiety and anger could be heard from his voice, and he asked hoarsely as if he had exhausted all his strength.
"If you die, don't you throw it out and put it on the kang to stand up for the corpse!? What are you doing with me! Why do you still want to hit me?! ”
……
The quarrel in her ears became more and more intense, but Zhou Wanwan couldn't pay attention to what they were arguing about, the moment she heard the voice of the eldest brother, Zhou Wanwan's ears could only subconsciously capture the voice of the eldest brother, this voice that Xiao had thought about countless times in her memory, although it still sounds young and immature now, but Zhou Wanwan knew that this was the voice of the eldest brother, and she heard the voice of the eldest brother again after decades of suffering and anticipation. Zhou Wanwan's tears were surging out uncontrollably, she wanted to open her eyes to look at her eldest brother, and wanted to open her arms to hug her eldest brother, but there seemed to be a force restraining her invisibly, she couldn't do anything, she could only let the tears gush out of her eyes, she couldn't control it at all, and she didn't want to control it.
"I'm crying! Tears are shed! Eldest brother! Eldest brother! Nan Nan will cry, Nan Nan is still alive......" was the immature voice again, from excitement to choking, and finally whining and crying.
"! Milk! Look at it, look at Nannan, she's not dead, she still knows how to cry! You let me carry her to the house! The eldest brother's voice was anxious and earnest, and finally brought a pleading "Milk!" You're still angry! Milk! You touch it, and you're still panting! ”
"Don't drag me! I don't touch it! It's dead and unlucky! Zhou Wanwan heard that this old lady with a sharp voice was her grandmother Zhao Mantable. Since she was a child, her grandmother scolded her for "throwing goods from the southern mountains". Nanshan is not a mountain, but a small dirt slope with weeds and shrubs in the south of the village, which has always been used as a cemetery in the village. She always thought that this was just a mantra of her grandmother, but it turned out that she really wanted to die early, and she had already thrown herself over once.
"My sister isn't dead! Why can't you go into the house?! Throw Nanshan didn't die, now I want to freeze her to death! "This is the second brother! Zhou Wanwan suddenly remembered that this voice that was more immature than her eldest brother was her second brother Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen only lived until Zhou Wanwan was six years old, and Zhou Wanwan had very few memories of him. The eldest brother once said that the second brother loves her more than the eldest brother, and he has held her in his arms wherever he has been since he was a child. Zhou Wanwan is a premature baby, and after birth, she is severely malnourished, and her acquired development is much slower than that of a normal child. The eldest brother wants to go to work in the production team, and he can't take care of her, the second brother has always taken care of her, her clothes are shabby but always clean, everyone can't eat, but the second brother always has a way to find something to secretly add food to her. The second brother's dexterity, in the last two years, the fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy even learned to make clothes for Zhou Wanwan, not to mention the small pigtails on her head that were always renovated.
This voice that is far away in memory but makes Zhou Wanwan feel warm and safe is her second brother. Zhou Wanwan's tears flowed even more fiercely, her limbs still couldn't move, but her eyelids trembled twice under her efforts.
Zhou Chen, who had been paying attention to her state since she shed tears, immediately found out. Zhou Chen pushed Zhou Yang, the eldest brother who was holding his sister and was blocked by his grandmother at the door of the house: "Big brother, hug the house!" My sister can open her eyes! If you delay it any longer, you'll freeze! ”
When Zhou Yang heard this, he ignored his grandmother's teeth and claws, protected his sister in his arms, and slapped his grandmother with his back and rushed into the house. Zhou Chen blocked his grandmother's body next to him, and won a gap for Zhou Yang to squeeze into the house, Zhou Yang saw the opportunity to break into the house with his sister, and his sister-in-law Zhou Hongying stood at the door of the east house and screamed: "Don't bring the dead child into the house!" Get out! ”
Zhou Yang was stunned, and he didn't have time to reason with Zhou Hongying, so he turned around and hugged his sister to the kang in Westinghouse. Zhou Chen followed, quickly plugged in the door, jumped on the kang neatly and took two quilts, and covered his sister one by one, the brothers ignored the scolding of their grandmother and sister-in-law outside, and all their attention was on their tearful sister.
"Little Er, what's going on? Why don't you keep crying without opening your eyes? Although Zhou Yang is ranked third among the cousins of the Zhou family and Zhou Chen is ranked fourth, when there are only a few siblings of their own siblings, they will still use the name that their mother called them privately when she was alive. Zhou Wanwan has always called Zhou Yang "big brother" and Zhou Chen "second brother", and Zhou Yang has always called Zhou Chen "little two" according to his mother's name.
"Aggrieved! The milk is also ruthless! Nan Nan is her own granddaughter, why don't she expect her to order it, just throw it away! Zhou Chen said indignantly, Zhou Wanwan felt a drop of hot tears dripping on her hand, and then a hand gently and cherished her hair and arms.
Zhou Wanwan heard Zhou Yang also snort, and was silent for a while before speaking, with a trace of choked voice: "Are you still going to the team to deliver dung in the afternoon?" ”
"Not going! What about throwing it on Nanshan again? I have to watch from home. ”
"I'm hungry, and I don't want to find a way to get something happen sooner or later. I won't go in the afternoon, so I have to find something to eat for the girl. Zhou Wanwan listened to the eldest brother as he spoke, and learned the sound of Suo Suo going to the ground.
"Big brother......" Zhou Chen wanted to speak and stopped, and there was hesitation and worry that Zhou Wanwan couldn't understand.
"You don't care. When I leave, you will plug the door, don't take care of anything you scold, just take care of the girl. Zhou Yang's immature voice has a calmness and responsibility that does not match his age, which makes the brother and sister sitting and lying on the kang inexplicably feel at ease.
"Don't worry. I'm used to hearing it, so I'm not stupid to be angry with her. Zhou Chen went down to the ground as he spoke, followed by the sound of the door opening, and Mrs. Zhou's scolding voice became clear: "...... I have lost my conscience! Eat me and drink mine! Raise a litter of white-eyed wolves......"
There was a bang, and the door was slammed shut, followed by the sound of the door being slammed in. It should be Zhou Chen who sent Zhou Yang back. Then, Zhou Chen went to the kang and hugged Zhou Wanwan with a quilt. Zhou Wanwan felt that the second brother's face was gently buried in her neck socket, and soon, tears fell on her neck, drop by drop, for a long time......
Zhou Wanwan's heart was sour because of the tears, and it became soft and hopeful in these tears. She is back, the eldest brother is still a little teenager, the second brother is still alive, their brother and sister will no longer be bullied, they will no longer be the scapegoats of others, they will live very well, they will always be with each other, and they will have a happy life.
I don't know how long it took, the second brother's breathing gradually stabilized, he should have fallen asleep, and the sharp scolding of the old lady around the door stopped. Zhou Wanwan tried to move her body, but it still didn't work. No matter how hard she tried, her body refused to obey the dictates of her consciousness. Zhou Wanwan was in a hurry and entered the space with his consciousness.
When she entered the space, she found that her current appearance was no longer the 25-year-old she was when she was killed by Zhao Baosheng, but a thin and withered baby. Withered yellow hair, skinny limbs and torso, and a small neck that can't even support a particularly large head. In this way, people believe that she will die soon, and it is no wonder that her grandmother can't wait to throw her out, it is really a picture of being ready to die at any time.
Judging from her current appearance, she should be a few months old and less than a year old. I remember that the eldest brother once said that in the winter moon (11th month of the lunar calendar) when she was one year old, she was already hungry and was thrown to Nanshan, and then she was picked up and alive. Zhou Wanwan has basically been sure, now is the time when the eldest brother mentioned that she was thrown, she looked at the time displayed in the space, and she guessed correctly, today is December 20, 1961, the thirteenth day of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar. Well, now the eldest brother is thirteen years old, the second brother is ten years old, and she herself is only eleven months.
For this throwing, the eldest brother did not mention the details Zhou Wanwan also deduced a rough idea, it should be that she was taken out by her grandmother and thrown to Nanshan, I don't know who saw it, I went to notify the two brothers, and then the two arrived in time and picked it up before she was frozen to death. When she got home, her grandmother refused to let her in, and the quarrel that happened when she just woke up.
Zhou Wanwan tried to use consciousness, but fortunately, consciousness is not affected by the body, and it can still be used freely in space. But if you want to check your body or supplement your nutrition, you can only let your body enter the space or take things out of the space, her body is now in the arms of her second brother, and she can't enter the space at will. And when she took things out, she couldn't even open her eyes now, and she couldn't hide the food that suddenly appeared.
When Zhou Wanwan was struggling with what to do, her consciousness began to slowly blur, it should be that her body was too weak to support long-term consumption, and before she completely lost consciousness, Zhou Wanwan used her last strength to return to her body. It's easy for her to go back to her brother, she can't make any mistakes, she has to go back to her body, she has to go back to her body, and everything else can take her time......
