Chapter 13 The Dawn of the Edge
After all, it was already winter, and the cold air quietly invaded Lu Weiming's body. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He curled up in a ball, the biting cold was still endless, and he turned over a few more times, still in vain.
Lu Weiming was woken up by freezing alive. I don't know what time it is, the sky is gray, and then look at the bonfire, it has long been burned out, and only a pile of white ash remains.
It looks like it's going to be dawn this day. Lu Weiming regrets it now, he should have caught more fish yesterday, but now he can only be hungry. Actually, it can't be said that he is hungry, because he ate enough last night, and he is just worried that he will not be able to see the village for a while, and he will inevitably go hungry again, so he can be considered prepared.
Look at the little devil again, he has already woken up, just lying there, too lazy to move. Lu Weiming no longer hesitated, called the little demon king, and hurried away.
It was already dawn, but because of the fog, it was foggy everywhere, and there was not much distance to see. Lu Weiming could only grope his way along the path.
After walking for about two or three hours, the sun finally came out, and the fog dissipated, and finally the willows and flowers were bright.
Lu Weiming spotted a big tree on the side of the road and climbed up quickly. Looking into the distance, ha, not far away, there is finally a village, and I am relieved.
Jumping down from the tree, Lu Weiming took the little demon king and almost trotted all the way over. Although it looked close, when he actually got there, it was already noon.
Lu Weiming turned around back and forth, and it turned out that there were only a dozen households in this village. He knocked on the door of a house, and after a long time, a boy of eleven or twelve years old came out.
The boy was stunned for a moment, "You....... Who are you looking for? ”
"This little brother, I happened to be passing by here, tired and hungry, can you give some food?" If this had been left in the past, Lu Weiming would never have been so low-minded, but now that he has fallen to this, he can only compromise.
"Xiaoshanzi, who is it?" A trembling voice came from inside the room.
"It's a begging for food, grandma!"
Lu Weiming heard that he was a beggar for food, but he was not angry. But if you look at yourself again, your clothes are tattered and dirty, and you are unkempt, so you are not a person who asks for food! So he suppressed his anger.
"You child, you are nonsense, where did you come from to ask for food in this poor country? I'm afraid it's passing, so please come in! ”
The young man stopped talking, turned around and walked towards the house, and Lu Weiming followed closely.
The room was very simple, and there was a portrait of Chairman Mao hanging on the wall facing the door. There was no furniture in the room except for a low wooden table, a cabinet that was some years old, and a wooden bed that had collapsed a little. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "the ring is blocked, the wind is not covered, the short brown is worn through the knot, and the scoop is repeatedly empty".
Lu Weiming saw the old man in the house, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, "Auntie, hello!" I'm so tired and hungry that I'm so bothered! ”
"Young man, it's not easy to go out, everyone has a time when they are in trouble, Xiaoshanzi, just right, hurry up and take out the rice in the pot, let's eat together."
Xiao Shanzi didn't answer, just ran out, and then came back with two bowls of noodles. put it on the table and ran out again, this time bringing back only a thin bowl of noodle soup.
"Come on, young man, I'm hungry, our small mountain village is too remote, there's nothing to eat, you make do with it first, and I'll ask Xiao Shanzi to go to his uncle's house to get some yams, and we'll stew and eat." With that, she pushed a large bowl of noodles in front of Lu Ming.
Lu Ming looked at the noodles in front of him, and then at the bowl of soup in Xiao Shanzi's hand, and instantly understood what was going on.
I was an uninvited guest, and I felt a sense of guilt in my heart because of the fact that my ancestors and grandchildren had just cooked a good meal, because of their arrival.
"Auntie, I'll eat this bowl!" As he spoke, he was going to pick up the soup in Xiao Shanzi's hand.
Xiao Shanzi flashed and put the bowl on the corner of the table farthest from Lu Weiming, "This bowl is mine!" With that, he turned around and ran out again. A moment later, he returned with a cooked yam.
"Eat it, I've got this!" As he spoke, he shook the potato in his hand in front of Lu Weiming, and then sat down on the table and peeled the potato by himself.
Seeing that Lu Weiming was still hesitating, grandma spoke again, "Young man, eat, Xiao Shanzi, this kid is clever, he won't be hungry, hurry up and eat, don't get cold for a while." ”
Seeing this scene, Lu Weiming finally stopped refusing. I picked up the chopsticks and ate slowly, not at all like I was hungry. His mind is no longer on this meal, but on the friendship between the two grandchildren.
After eating a bowl of noodles with gratitude, Lu Weiming sat there and chatted with his grandmother. Lu Weiming told him about his previous experience, and his grandmother was also embarrassed, "It seems that it is not easy to work outside!" We are too poor here, the young people in the village have gone out to work, and Xiaoshanzi's parents have also gone, and I don't know what is happening to them now? Speaking of this, Grandma's eyes were a little moist.
"This little mountain has followed me since I was a child, and I only see my parents once a year, which is pitiful!" As he spoke, he looked out the window. At this time, Xiaoshanzi and Xiaode are having fun!
After chatting for a while, Lu Weiming was about to get up and leave, but the grandmother insisted on staying.
"It's still hundreds of kilometers away from the county seat, if you go now, I'm afraid that when it gets dark, you'll have to spend the night in this wilderness." Listen to me, stay here for the night, and leave tomorrow morning! , you see, Xiao Shanzi rarely has a companion to play with him, and it is rare to see her so happy! ”
Lu Weiming looked at the little hill in the yard, chasing and playing with the little devil. At this time, a thought flashed through his mind.
Lu Weiming held a stool and leaned against the wall of the courtyard to close his eyes and recuperate. The sun shone on his face, but it was also warm and pleasant.
But Xiao Shanzi didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, and took the little demon king out of the door, and actually ran into the field to have fun.
It wasn't until late in the evening that Xiao Shanzi returned. was still far away, and I heard him excited: "Grandma, grandma......"
He rushed into the yard with an excited face, "Grandma, look, what did I catch?" So saying, he triumphantly brought a great hare before them.
"Yikes! You caught such a big hare? Grandma was also pleasantly surprised.
"No, it's the little devil! You don't see it, it's amazing, it found this hare, and it spread its legs and chased after it, and I don't know how far it chased it, but then it came back with the pair in its mouth. ”
Lu Weiming took the hare and looked at it carefully, and there were several wounds on his neck. And the bones of the entire neck turned out to be completely broken!
He squatted down and touched the little devil's head, "Hey, little devil, well done!" ”
