Chapter 8 Three Masters
My grandmother was pulled to a stumbling and almost crooked, and was about to turn around and complain, when she saw that the third master was not moving, she was frightened all of a sudden.
Grandma shook the body of the third master twice, but there was still no movement, and picked his eyelids again, and only remembered that these eyes had long been useless, and with a wave of her big hand, she pulled up one of the arms of the third master, and said to me: "Eldest grandson, quickly, carry your third master to the bed!" ”
Grandma invited Lang Zhong to see a third master, but in our small place, there is only one Lang Zhong, so he couldn't see what the illness was, so he shook his head and left.
The village chief didn't know where he heard that the third master was unconscious, so he ran to my house with a grin.
"Cuicui, I heard that the third child is no longer good?"
The grandmother was very angry, spat the village chief, picked up a broom and drove him away.
The village chief became serious, snatched the broom, and said to my grandmother, Cuicui, don't worry, I know that the third child is kind to your family, if you don't want him to go, I have a way.
The village chief sat on the edge of the third master's bed and said, we have fought for a lifetime, and the two of us lost to Lao He, Lao He is gone, and in the end, I haven't earned you.
Grandma clenched her fists and punched the village chief in the back.
My surname is He, my name is He Yunfei, and my grandmother gave me my name because my grandmother is the only one in our family who reads. Lao He is not my father, but my grandfather.
The village chief grabbed my grandmother's hand and looked at me again.
Grandma let me out.
I shook my head and said, the third master saved my life, the third master is in danger now, I can't leave him behind.
The village chief didn't care about me, and asked grandma, do you know why the third child is like this?
Grandma didn't know, and neither did I.
The village chief also said that the third child has relied on yin and yang eyes to support him all these years, and now he doesn't even have eyes, so I'm afraid he won't be able to survive.
After the village chief left, I thought about it for a long time and said to my grandmother, why don't I return my eyes to the third master?
However, I looked at my palm, which is where the third master put his eyes in, and it seems that I can't return it to him, so what can I do?
Grandma didn't speak, wiped a handful of tears, only told me to take care of the third master, and went out.
Grandma left for several days, I didn't know how to cook, so I put steamed buns and water, little by little for the third master to eat, the daily thing is to test on time whether the third master is still angry.
About three days later, my grandmother came back with a child.
The boy was a little younger than me, skinny, ugly, black, with messy hair and mud, and he hadn't been washed for ten days and a half. Looks like a wild child that no one wants.
But grandma held his hand, and it was not dirty at all.
That's not right.
Grandma is everyone's best girl, and since I can remember, the deepest impression of grandma is that she loves to be clean. No matter how poor the family is, grandma will definitely keep the house hygienic, wash hands before meals, take a bath on time, even in the most difficult times, grandma has not lost this set of her eldest lady.
So, I was really surprised to bring back such a dirty child.
I pointed at the child, but before I could ask, my grandmother shook her head at me.
She picked up a steamed bun from the table, poured another bowl of water, handed it to the child, hurried outside, and said, "There is water in that house, if you want to stay in our house, you can clean yourself when you are full, and I will find you a piece of clothing in a moment!" ”
The little beggar went out, and the grandmother closed the door. At that time, although I was young, I also understood the reason, and I knew that my family was not wealthy, and I couldn't afford to support the fourth family at all.
Grandma didn't seem to be planning to explain to me, so she came over directly to look at the third master and asked me, "How is it, is this old thing still alive?" ”
I didn't answer, and asked my grandmother directly, what's the matter with this wild child?
Grandma grabbed the third master's hand and didn't answer me, sighed, and tears came up.
Grandma said, do you know how blind your third master is?
It turned out that after the grandfather died, the third master was full of guilt for the He family, of course, mixed with feelings for grandma, but grandma didn't say anything.
After my grandfather left, my grandmother took my father alone, and I almost couldn't survive, thanks to the help of the third master, I survived the saddest days. Later, when my father grew up, the more the third master said matchmaking, he married his relatives.
If you become a parent, you can't live every day, you have to make money.
But he hadn't read a book, and he had no other skills.
At that time, I heard that a coal mine had been dug into a mountain not far from us.
Although I was tired of being a miner, I made a lot of money, and I didn't have time to think about it, and there were always more idle workers than people needed by others, so my father followed the rest of the village out of the mountain, and then into another mountain, and went to mine.
But my father went, there was no news, only two women in our family were left, at that time, my mother had just become pregnant, and the reaction was great, and my grandmother wanted to call my father back to take care of her, but she couldn't get in touch.
Later, the men who went out to mine with my dad came back, and they didn't say hello, kneeling at the door of my house in the middle of the night, crying vigorously, my grandmother didn't work how to beat and scold, and cried until the second half of the night, my grandma said, our daughter-in-law still has a big belly, you can do it, go to another house to cry?
That man was none other than my father's best playmate, Xiaoshun.
Because when my father was a child, the children in the village were almost eaten, so he didn't have many peers, and among the few children, he played with Xiaoshun the best.
Hearing my grandmother say this, Xiaoshun immediately stopped crying, he hugged my grandmother's legs, and kept muttering in his mouth that he couldn't live with our He family, but no matter how much my grandmother asked, he couldn't say anything, so he apologized vigorously.
Later, when it was almost dawn, Xiaoshun was finally picked up by the family, but grandma said that she looked at Xiaoshun as if she had fallen into an evil spirit, so she told the third master about it.
The third master didn't speak, so he went to Xiaoshun's house.
Xiaoshun was tied to the bed by his family, struggling constantly, crying for a while, laughing for a while, looking like a madman, the third master asked him, you stopped mining well, why did you come back?
As soon as he heard about mining, Xiaoshun, who was still giggling, was frightened all of a sudden, trembling violently, and began to scream, shouting for help, with a frightened expression.
The third master took Xiaoshun's pulse, and took out scissors to shave his head, under normal circumstances, the third master's scissors can know what is going on, but Xiaoshun's hair has been shaved by the third master, but the third master's eyebrows are still not stretched.
However, Xiaoshun quieted down.
The third master collected Xiaoshun's hair, put it in a bowl, and burned it, only then did he grit his teeth and make a "hiss" sound.
