Su Miao had never heard Hu Shi's screams in such horror, and she was so nervous that even if she was illuminated by a red lantern, her freckled face was still as pale as paper. The four sisters and brothers were startled by her, and when they ran out from the back of the cart to look, they saw a six- or seven-year-old boy standing next to the sugar gourd scarecrow, his upper body curled up slightly, as if coughing and vomiting, a little face was suffocated and purple, and he was about to turn his back on his breath, and a string of sugar gourds with a hawthorn missing was thrown on the ground, and his mother was so frightened that her hands and feet trembled, squatting next to him and helping him keep patting him on the back.

Su Miao was startled, and subconsciously understood that the child must have been choked by the hawthorn, hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and hugged the child from behind, clenched his left hand into a fist against the child's abdomen between the umbilicus and the xiphoid process, pressed his right hand on the left hand, and pressed his hands upwards and backwards to increase the pressure on the abdominal cavity and chest.

Seeing this, the child's mother hugged her son, who was almost lost, and was already crying. Su Miao let out a long sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, stood up and turned her head, but it was Hu's tearful face that was in front of her. Hu's legs were weak, and he barely stood up while holding on to the cart, trying to suppress the sobbing while constantly wiping his tears, and his tears were hazy with joy and joy, but more than that, he was filled with endless fear, sadness and sadness.

Mrs. Su stood aside, half-lowered her eyes, and didn't look at the Hu family.

The Su family collectively fell silent, and the suffocation of the eldest son Su Xian was a pain that could never be erased in the Hu family's heart.

Only the aftertaste is unknown. Seeing that Su Miao sent a grilled fish to the child, his heart was full of doubts.

The child's mother thanked her again and again, but Hu still burst into tears. The emotion was out of control, and after a pause, he left without saying a word with his head down, and walked towards the depths of Changle Street.

Su Miao stuffed the fried plate into her hand and followed through the crowd.

Huiwei looked at the fried panel in his hand, and looked up to see Su Miao's back quickly disappearing into the endless crowd, and became more and more confused.

Su Miao caught up with Hu. But he didn't stand side by side with her, but silently followed her, keeping a step away from her. Hu Shi blushed his head in front of him and wept silently. The crowd was crowded, there were many people walking in the opposite direction, and she didn't notice when she hit someone, Su Miao followed behind and apologized to the person who was hit again and again. Hu walked to the embankment. Facing the surging river, tears rained down.

Su Miao stood behind her. He didn't speak until after a long time, Hu suddenly choked up and said softly:

"If your eldest brother is still alive, and now you can marry a wife and have children, and your sisters will not have to live so hard without a father, if your eldest brother is still alive......" She hid her face again and cried, "Blame me!" Blame me! I killed Xian'er! ”

The hysterical resentment and resentment towards Mrs. Su and Su Dong for so many years is actually the blame and remorse she has for herself in her heart.

Su Miao was silent for a moment, stepped forward and stood beside her, and whispered:

"It was just an accident. It's not my mother's fault, and my mother doesn't want that to happen. It's enough to blame myself for so many years, and the eldest brother won't blame the mother. It was pale to say anything at this point, but nevertheless, she whispered a word of persuasion.

Hu Shi didn't say a word, just cried silently, and cried for a long time until his eyes were red from the back of his hand and he couldn't shed tears anymore, Su Miao looked at her and said softly:

"Mother, let's go back."

Hu Shi didn't answer, but turned around together when Su Miao turned around, and the two of them returned to Changle Street.

The procession carrying the portable shrine had already reached Changle Street, and the crowd of people who wanted to march in it was about to break, and Su Miao was crowded in the crowd, because she was afraid of getting separated, and subconsciously grabbed Hu's arm. Hu Shi stiffened, and Su Miao was keenly aware of the stiffness for a moment at that moment, and grabbed her arm even tighter. After that moment, Hu's body relaxed, because there were too many people and the road was too crowded, she held Su Miao's arm with her other hand.

The mother and daughter returned to the food stall without saying a word, because the festival was about to start, and the number of diners at the food stall had decreased, Su Xian and the others saw them come back, Hu's eyes were red again, and they didn't know what to say for a while. The Su family is not good at saying warm words, Su Chan's face is unnaturally stiff, Su Xian is also uncomfortable, she turned her head and pretended to sort out the plates, Su Yan shrank her shoulders timidly, Mrs. Su didn't even raise her head, and without saying a word, she lowered her eyes and counted the copper plates in the cash box over and over again.

Su Miao looked at Mrs. Su, then at Hu's, and suddenly asked with a smile: "How much is left?" ”

When I saw that no one answered, I had to answer myself:

"The fried noodles have been sold out, there is still a basket of meat buns left, and there is enough grilled fish and chicken thighs to be grilled again."

Su Miao nodded and said with a smile: "It's almost the same as the one that is sold, and the one who buys it is almost the same, let's go to the festival after baking the last curtain, grandma has bad legs and feet, and my mother doesn't love many people, so you can stay and watch the stall and sell it casually, if you want to eat it yourself, there is wine in the basket, you two can drink two cups and talk." Without waiting for Hu Shi to agree, he walked straight to the grill, roasted the remaining fish and chicken thighs with his hands and feet, and then dragged his sister and brother to the direction of the temple, and said with a smile, "Mother, grandma, the stall is handed over to you, anyway, there is not much left, if you don't want to continue to sell, you can just close the stall, we will come back after watching the excitement." ”

Where will Hu and Mrs. Su put what can be sold for money. Although the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law bow their heads at home every day and don't look up, they rarely get along alone, let alone talk, and once they open their mouths, they will quarrel, and it is the first time to work together like this, especially after the accident that almost choked to death with a child just now. The two people who are reluctant to close the stall are alone, and they are uncomfortable with each other from the inside out.

"Is it okay to leave them alone?" Su Chan frowned a little worriedly.

"Under the same roof, those knots must be untied by themselves." Su Miao pulled her with one hand and Su Yan with the other, and said with a smile, "Don't rush back later, I'll come back when I've had enough, it's almost sold out anyway." ”

Su Xian, who was walking in front with her chest in her arms, half-lowered her eyes, and snorted from her nose at this time, but her lips outlined a faint arc.

Aftertaste silently walked behind Su Miao's side, listening to her crisp and warm tone, the clearest thing to see from his perspective was her flying red lips, she really loved to laugh.

The festival of the water temple is quite grand for a small town, burning blessings, offering sacrifices, and the bells and drums are ringing in unison amid the smoke of incense and the sound of cannons. After the ceremony, people want to worship and pray on the birthday of the god of water to bless the safety of the family, tens of thousands of people gather outside the temple, and the whole temple is surrounded by water.

Su Miao also wanted to worship the god of water, but she took a step and squeezed into the temple, and she didn't know where a crowd of people who were marching in the opposite direction rushed out of nowhere, and directly rushed her to an unknown place opposite the temple!

Su Yan, who was dispersed, only had time to shout "second sister" in a panic, seeing Su Miao being pushed far away by the crowd, he could only see a delicate head dangling in the crowd from a distance, too tall, and he had the feeling of a red-crowned crane in a flock of chickens, the picture was inexplicably joyful, Su Xian laughed:

"Being tall also has the advantage of being tall, and you can see the direction at a glance in the crowd."

If Su Miao knew that the eldest sister actually said such things when she was lost, she would definitely loudly condemn her for not having sisterly love. Because she really couldn't fight the crowd with one person, she could only walk aimlessly in the direction of the flow of people, but before she could go far, a slightly cool big hand suddenly grabbed her wrist, pulled her out of the bustling "marching army", and pulled her to walk in another direction in a hurry and forcefully.

Su Miao was startled, thinking that it was a trafficker who took the opportunity to abduct people, but when she looked at that hand, she saw a slender and straight back. He held her wrist tightly, and rode the wind and waves to advance bravely through the bustling and noisy crowd, although Su Miao bumped into several people because of this, but it was much easier for him to break through the crowd with him taller than her. His hands were large, his fingers were long, and they were slightly cool in the hot weather, and there were many scars in the palms of his hands, but they felt very good, like a sponge wrapped in silk.

The aftertaste was just to see her being swept away by the crowd for fear of a stampede, relying on her own height to come forward and pull her, until she accurately held her hand and walked back, at this moment she realized that she had touched the girl's hand. The act of helping her was subconscious, and when I came back to my senses, I was at a loss to find that this was the first time in my life that I had pulled a girl's hand. Although she is tall and independent, she looks very strong, but her hands are soft, small, and warm, which reminds him of the warm jade that he can hold in his palm, smooth and delicate.

My heart was beating faster......

Aftertaste pulled Su Miao to squeeze around in the crowd, and I don't know how long I squeezed, but when I was dizzy, I finally saw the gap and went straight over. Su Miao, who was following him, was taken by him and rushed out of the human wall, the air suddenly became fresh, she took a few deep breaths, and then looked around with a smile, but this look was stunned, and looked at the desolation around in amazement, the front is the surging river, and the back is an endless wilderness, ten meters away The lights are bright and noisy, and the black lights here are blind and silent, and a small wind is blowing over, Su Miao, who still felt hot just now, will feel that the back of his neck is blown out of rheumatism.

"Where is this?" She asked.

The aftertaste was slightly stunned, and he turned his neck to find that the two of them had rushed to a strange place, and after a long silence, they replied seriously:

"I thought this direction was the way to the temple."

The corners of Su Miao's eyes twitched fiercely, and the road idiot ...... (To be continued......)
