Chapter 38: Fool
It wasn't until she in her arms completely lost her temperature, until the snowflakes slowly fell on her pale face, until the last sentence I love you, until the soul of Xiangxiaoyu returned to heaven, that I understood that in the face of the torrent of facts, we are really too small, and the so-called love-hate entanglement of children actually accounts for too little and too little in the proportion of life.
My sister did not see her brother get married in her lifetime. My sister did not watch her brother have children in her lifetime, and my sister did not enjoy more family affection and happiness in her lifetime.
Life is so lonely, no one will dislike having rich memories, but I didn't have time to give her more memories.
A life of loneliness, wandering, and death.
"Sister, in the next life, I was born in a rich family, don't suffer anymore, okay?" The tears have long since dried up, and I can't even cry in pain.
"Sister, in the next life, we will still be sisters and brothers, and I will take care of you, okay?" The snow kept falling, and the old man was collecting a wisp of incense.
"Sister, I'm sorry for you, I hurt you, hurt you for the rest of your life...... I always say that I want to protect you and take care of you, but I haven't done anything, you will always be taking care of me, protecting me all my life...... Sister, I miss you so much. ”
Heavy snow buries the soul of incense, and the life falls into a lonely grave.
Sister, in the next life, I will definitely be able to find you.
The tombstone was erected, and he dedicated his life to guarding it, and he has been sleeping for a long time. With the last of my strength, I carved on the wood: the tomb of my beloved sister Chu Qianrou.
Sister, I'm so tired......
Successive blows, successive departures, I'm really tired, I want to sleep for a while, fainting is the self-protection of the brain that can't withstand the blow, then I really want to faint now, let my tired brain, can't bear the fact that you're leaving, let me sleep for a while, let the brain sleep on its own.
……
"Hey! Fool, don't run around, it's snowing outside, and you're not wearing shoes! The girl, dressed in coarse linen clothes, shouted and chased after him, eager to beat him with a stick.
The fool smiled, standing in the snow all over the ground, his feet were cold, but he pulled the girl and smiled: "Hehe, sister, look, it's snowing......"
"You know it's snowing! What to run around without shoes! You're going to me off! The girl kicked the fool hard, her face was flushed with anger, but the fool was indifferent, and raised her face of snow, she shook her head helplessly, and sighed with self-pity: "Why am I so unlucky, I picked up such a fool as you, I can't help with any work, and I have to take care of you, why am I so unlucky, I have been bullied since I was a child, and now I am bullied by you as a fool." ”
"Hehe, Su Xin...... You see, it's snowing, we can build a snowman, come on! The fool plopped and ran to the snowdrift, rolling and climbing, with the name of Su Xin, and the girl chased after him and shouted, "You fool! This is my grandfather's clothes, don't break them for me! ”
"Suxin, hehe, build a snowman."
"I'm not a vegetarian! I'm not your sister either! My name is Chun Tao! ”
Dressed in coarse linen clothes, a simple and even rustic girl, called Chun Tao, she is not very old, and her grandfather, who depends on each other, died early, leaving her alone as a girl, living in poverty and hardship.
At night, in the dilapidated little house, there was only one dimly lit oil lamp, which was broken, and on the dark table, there were pickles and steamed buns, but the fool ate them with relish, and laughed while eating: "Annie, your cooking is so delicious." ”
"Who's Annie! My name is Chun Tao! Chun Tao slapped the fool hard, but the fool smiled even more happily, and reached out to hold her hand: "Annie, why did you beat me again." ”
"You've got a broken brain, aren't you? You're glad to hit you! Chun Tao shook off his hand, angry and laughing: "Seeing that your food has fallen on your clothes, what's the use of me taking you in." ”
The girl let go of the anger in her heart, and looked at the smirking man sympathetically, the messy chicken nest head, but she didn't hide his white face, but she didn't wash it, this person didn't look bad, it looked like it was from the city, what happened?
"Hey, fool, where is your house?" Chun Tao asked tentatively.
"Huh? Family? I don't have a home, no, I do! I don't have a home! Sister! We've got a home, right? The fool was incoherent, the more he spoke, the more excited he became, he vigorously held Chun Tao's hand, a person living in poverty, the girl's hands were too rough and tired, and the fool suddenly puffed his mouth: "Sister, don't work, look at your hands, I'll buy you cosmetics." ”
Chun Tao shook it off angrily, and said angrily: "It's nonsense again, who is your sister?" I...... I haven't even seen cosmetics, you buy them for me? I don't work, what do I eat! What to feed you! ”
After saying that, Chun Tao looked at the fool's moist eyes, and suddenly regretted it a little, maybe he and his sister had a deep relationship.
"Hey, I'm mad at a fool. I've been picking you up for a week, and I've been chanting these names every day, and I don't do any work for me, and all the food at home will be eaten by you, and I've finally saved this little money, and I've spent it for you, and you're going to be stupid for the rest of your life, how can you pay me back! ”
The girl's heart is soft and kind, she was taught by her grandfather since she was a child, and she also saved this person kindly, but after being rescued, she was crazy, she couldn't help with any work, and she had to raise him in vain, and she wanted to drive him out several times, but when the words came to her mouth, Chun Tao was reluctant, she had no family for a long time, and it was too bitter to be alone.
"Lingling! Where are you going! Don't go, okay! ”
"I'm going to make a fire! Don't light a fire and freeze you to death at night! Too lazy to talk to you! Chun Tao is used to the madness of fools, and every time she shouts out a different name, sometimes she is curious, but she can't ask, she knows in her heart that they are all hard-working people.
Putting on the shabby cotton clothes, Chun Tao hurriedly went to make a fire, which was also left by his grandfather, and it suddenly snowed heavily in the south, and the dilapidated hut was a little unbearable cold.
As soon as he returned to the house, he was striking a match to make a fire, and suddenly there was an extra piece of clothing on his shoulder, Chun Tao turned around in surprise, but saw a weak smiling face, smirking.
"Xinyu, you were born cold, it's too cold now, you wear more, don't freeze, hehe."
Chun Tao's heart suddenly warmed, no one had cared about herself for a long time, she wiped her dirty little face, and said with a smile: "Fool, do you care about me or others." ”
"Wear more, wear more."
"You wear that little bit, you're not afraid of the cold." It's rare for Chun Tao to want to talk to him more.
"I'm not afraid, I'm fine, everyone can't be fine......" The fool ignored her and muttered as he ran back into the house.
The girl looked at the crazy back and sighed sympathetically, in the dilapidated hut, there was only a fool and a girl who was struggling to make ends meet.
After the fire was lit, there was finally a little more heat in the house, and just lying on the kang, the fool covered all the quilts on Chun Tao's body, and Chun Tao hurriedly pushed it away: "Hey! What nerves do you have! I want to freeze myself! ”
"Sister, you said you were cold, I won't let you be cold anymore, cover it quickly, I'm fine, I'm really fine."
The fool was thinly dressed and hid in a corner, trembling, but laughing happily, Chun Tao angrily brought him over, and said angrily: "I still said it's okay!" When I picked you up, I was covered in blood, and all my money was given to you to get a doctor, and now I don't even have a scar, what should I do if you freeze out of sores! I don't have the money to heal you! Come here! ”
"Sister, I don't spend your money, I don't want you to make money for me." The fool suddenly cried like a child, which startled Chun Tao, and hurriedly hugged the fool and comforted him in a low voice: "Okay, okay, I won't mention the money, I don't want you to pay back the money, don't cry." ”
"Sister!"
The fool suddenly cried, Chun Tao didn't know how to coax, so she could only cover the quilt and hold him in her arms, she remembered that the women in the village coaxed the children like this.
"Hey, don't cry, okay, I'll ...... tomorrow I'll buy you delicious food with that little more money, and I won't eat steamed buns......"
"Sister! I'm scared! ”
"I'm here, don't be afraid!"
"I'm afraid you'll go!"
"I won't leave, in the future, eh, I will be your sister in the future, will I raise you well, I won't drive you away, I don't have a family anyway, you just be my family." The crying made Chun Tao's heart also inexplicably bitter, she couldn't hold it alone, but she picked up a fool, which made her feel a little warmer.
"Family? Yes, sister, we are family. The fool stopped crying.
"Then you will call me Sister Chun Tao in the future." Chun Tao hugged the person who was so much taller than herself in her arms, crying and laughing, obviously she was only a teenager, and she had to be a fool's sister.
"Okay, sister, let's sleep, I'll sleep with you!" The fool suddenly hugged Chun Tao hard, hugged it tightly in his arms, Chun Tao couldn't struggle, his dirty little face was hot, he muttered a few words, and then didn't move again, and the two lay quietly in a quilt, warming each other.
I had just felt a warm sleep, and the dilapidated wooden door suddenly screeched.
Bang bang bang!
"Spring Peach! Open the door! ”
Chun Tao saw that the fool was already crying tired and sleeping, so she quickly crawled out of the bed, nervous and uneasy.
"Huh? Brother Xiaogang? It's so late, what are you doing. There was a bit of timidity in the girl's words, she knew what the person was going to do.
Brother Xiaogang broke into the house directly, looked at the girl with a wicked smile, rubbed his hands and smiled: "Brother Gang misses you, you haven't been here for a week, you surround the fool you picked up every day." ”
"Brother Xiaogang, you ...... Let's go, the fool hasn't slept yet. Chun Tao took a step back timidly, but Xiao Gang strode forward and hugged her.
"What can that fool do if he doesn't sleep, what can he understand? You little girl, you've been hiding for a week, what do you want! A few days ago, I saw Second Uncle Niu coming at night, so I couldn't come! It's coming off! ”
In the dark corner, the girl was fiercely blocked, unable to move, and was slaughtered by others, and the little monkey hurriedly untied his belt.
Suddenly there were footsteps behind him, and a person slowly came, Xiao Gang subconsciously turned around, but he was startled, the face of the person who came was full of murderous energy, his eyes were terrifying, and his mouth was cold and angry.
"Bastard! No one is allowed to touch my sister! I'm going to kill you! ”
