Xiao Yunmeng, who was greatly frightened, was in a trance, not knowing how long he had been pushed by his grandfather and how long he had walked. Suddenly, his body rolled off the wheelbarrow, Xiao Yunmeng woke up from his trance, it turned out that the wheelbarrow had overturned, and when he looked at his grandfather again, he was lying on the ground with his body crooked. Xiao Yunmeng hurriedly crawled to his grandfather, only to see that his grandfather was sweating hotly, his eyes were closed, his mouth was wide open and he kept panting, the old gentleman was actually fine, just tired. After a long time, Mr. Yun slowly opened his eyes, looked at the little grandson in front of him, looked back at Guanggu City in the fireworks, and hugged Yun Meng, the grandfather and grandson cried loudly, the north wind whimpered, the sky moved, and the goose feather-like snow flakes also fell down, as if to cover up the blood stains everywhere.

After crying for a long time, watching the sky getting brighter, Mr. Yun used his trembling old hand to help Xiao Yun Meng wipe away the tears on his face, and wiped the corners of his eyes. said: "Child, you can't stay in the land of right and wrong for a long time!" We have to keep fleeing! ”

The wheelbarrow, the old gentleman no longer had the strength to push it, so he took Xiao Mengyun's hand and slowly walked west with the sparse crowd of refugees.

Who knows where it will go to the west, but what is the point of going there? The home is gone, the old man has lost his son and daughter-in-law, and the child has lost his father and mother, is this still home? The grandfather and grandson walked aimlessly, resting in tree hollows and broken temples when they were tired, and begging for some leftovers in the villages along the road when they were hungry. After all, it is the cold winter season, the clothes on the grandfather and grandson have long been tattered, and the shoes are also rotten, Yun Meng is only 4 years old after all, hungry and cold all day long, and it is unbearable in the prime of life, let alone the children. Finally, on this day, Mr. Yun found that Xiao Yunmeng was groggy and listless, and touched the child's forehead with his hand, so hot!

The child is sick, what should I do? The old gentleman hugged Xiaoyun Meng Yangtian and wanted to cry, but he wanted to cry without tears.

"Why is God so unfair to my Yun family? Could it be that even the little grandson who is dependent on me for his life, the last bit of blood of the Yun family has to be taken away so ruthlessly? The old gentleman stumbled and picked up Xiaoyun Meng and ran forward, calling his grandson as he ran, "Meng'er wake up, don't fall asleep, there is someone in front of you." ”

Maybe it's the endless road, or maybe God can't bear to bring disaster to this grandfather and grandson again. I really saw the village from afar, and the smoke of the farmhouse was rising. Mr. Yun gritted his teeth and finally came to this village with his grandson on his back. There happened to be an open door in the courtyard of a family under the big tree at the entrance of the village, and the old gentleman didn't care about the etiquette, so he ran straight to the hall of this family with Xiao Yunmeng on his back, and shouted "help, help" while running.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a black and red face, who was the owner of this family, heard the noise, hurriedly put down the work in his hand and ran out, and saw an old man named Hanako carrying a small Hanako on his back, and shouting in his mouth. Then he said, "Old man, what are you going to do with all this yelling?" ”

When the old gentleman saw the master's house, he hurriedly replied: "Master's family, don't blame the little old man for being rude, it's just a last resort, my grandson suddenly fell ill and was in critical condition, and I ask the master's family to be merciful and save my grandson!" As he spoke, Mr. Yun's tears also fell.

Before the middle-aged man met, the old man had a good conversation, not an ordinary fugitive homeless, and stepped forward to touch Xiao Yunmeng's forehead, and said: "This child is so hot, it is estimated that he is suffering from a cold, the old man will come into the house with me quickly." ”

The man helped Mr. Yun carry Xiao Yunmeng into the back room, gently put it on the bed, turned around and shouted, "At home, come and take a look." ”

Before the words fell, a middle-aged woman hurriedly walked in, saw the situation in front of her and asked, "What's the matter, who is the child in bed?" ”

The man explained: "These two should be the people who fled, this child is sick, and it is very hot, you can take a look." ”

Mr. Yun also took a break at this time, and hurriedly bowed his hand to the couple and said, "My grandson, who has been hungry and cold for days, and is young, I am afraid that he has contracted the wind and cold, and I ask the two of you to come to the rescue!" ”

The woman hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Old man, there is no need to say this, this army is in chaos, who doesn't have a little difficulty, but I don't know how to use medical skills, let's try it according to the earthwork." After that, he went to the stove and took a large piece of ginger to boil the soup with water, and brought the hot ginger soup back to the bed in a moment, the middle-aged man helped Xiao Yunmeng, and the middle-aged woman used a spoonful of soup spoon to send the ginger soup to Yunmeng. Then he took a thick quilt and covered it, brought a brazier, and arranged to stop, about half an hour, only to see a thin bead of sweat on Xiao Yunmeng's forehead, and then touched his forehead, and the fever subsided.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Mr. Yun bowed down again to thank him, and the couple hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man, and the man said: "Old gentleman, don't be like this, I can't afford to wait, this is going to kill my husband and wife." ”

Mr. Yun said: "How can I stand it, this ice and snow, if it weren't for Engong's rescue, my little grandson would probably be more than lucky." ”

The man said: "The old gentleman is serious, how can he not save him when he sees death!" I see that you are tired enough, so the lady will make two bowls of noodle soup, and warm up the old gentleman first to drive away the cold. Sir, you will also come with me to the hall to rest. ”

Mr. Yun came to the hall with the middle-aged man, and saw that the hall was simply furnished, with blue brick paving, white plaster walls, a wooden table and four wooden stools, and some bottles and cans placed in the corners, but they were very clean. The old gentleman and the man sat down, and the man poured a bowl of hot tea for the old man, "The peasant family only has some local tea, don't dislike it, drink some to warm your body." The old gentleman thanked him, not to mention the hot tea, he hadn't even drunk a mouthful of hot water for a long time, and the old gentleman didn't care about the hot tea when he picked up the hot tea bowl, and drank a bowl of tea in a few sips. At this time, the peasant woman brought a coarse bowl of hot noodle soup, and the old gentleman held the bowl without saying a word, even drank and sucked, and ate the whole bowl of noodle soup in the blink of an eye. As soon as this warm food entered the stomach, the cold air on the body was driven out of the body, and the sweat on the head was also seen, and the mental and physical strength were also relieved a lot. At this time, the old gentleman wiped his mouth, stroked his gray beard, got up again and saluted the couple, and said, "Little old man Yun Maogu thanks you again for your rescue." Please ask the names of the two high surnames, and they will be repaid in the future. ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly helped the old gentleman to sit down and said, "The old gentleman really doesn't have to be polite. The name of this place is Gaoliang Village, which belongs to the rule of Yecheng of Wei County, and my family's ancestors live here, making a living by cultivating fields and weaving dustpans. My surname is Li Mingshan, my wife is Zhang, and I have no children under my knees. Dare to ask the old man, where did you come from and where are you going? ”

When asked this, Mr. Yun's eyes were red, his nose was sour, and his tears were like broken pearls ticking down, and he said: "The old man's surname is Yun, his name is Yun Maogu, and the one lying on the bed is my grandson Yun Meng. The old gentleman cried and said that he told Li Shan and his wife about the encounter between his grandparents and grandchildren, and when it came to the sad and tragic place, Zhang also cried with him.

Li Shan asked again: "Then the old gentleman went to join relatives and friends?" "Hey, my grandparents and grandchildren are unacquainted at the moment, how do you know where to go? Who knows if I can survive this winter, but pity my little grandson is only 4 years old! Speaking of this, the old gentleman sighed again.

Zhang saw it in his eyes, and his heart was total, he pulled Li Shan's shirt with his hand, put his mouth to Li Shan's ear and whispered: "Master, you look at this old and poor little monster, our Zhuangzhong Zhu Temple has been empty for a long time, you are familiar with Zhuangshang Cao Lizheng, it is better to talk to him, just take his ancestors and grandchildren in Zhuangshang, and I will wait for him to help him on weekdays, what do you think?" ”

"Lady, you and I have thought of a place, I also have this idea, good people do it to the end, we can't let this old and young run into this cold and freezing again, otherwise this merit will be done in vain! I'll ask the old gentleman if he's willing. ”

Li Shan turned to Yun Lao and asked, "Old man, you have nowhere else to go right now, it's the middle of winter, and the child is still sick." Can you stay at this village for the time being? ”

Li Shan told Mr. Yun about his and Zhang's thoughts again, and the old man was of course happy to hear it, and there was no better place to go now. Hurriedly thanked: "Of course it's very good." It's just that I don't know if Zhuang Shangli will agree? ”

"Cao Li is acquainted with me since childhood, the relationship is very good, the ancestral hall has been vacant for a long time, is lacking a caretaker, I see that the old gentleman has a good conversation, must be a righteous gentleman. I'm the guarantor, and it's not difficult. Li Shan said, put on his clothes and hurriedly went out.

Gossip is not enough, and after a while, Li Shan came back happily and told Mr. Yun that Cao Lizheng had promised that Mr. Yun and Yun Meng lived in the Zhu Temple, and they only cleaned the courtyard every day, wiped the confession, looked at the door at night, and gave 20 yuan and some food to the village every month. Mr. Yun was very pleased to hear this, and the old man stayed at Li Shan's house that night.

The next day, Li Shan and Mr. Yun went to the village to go through the delivery procedures, and went to the ancestral hall to clean the side room, the house was not broken, not leaky, the furniture was simple, a bed, a table, a chair and an oil lamp, Li Shan moved two futons, two clothes and some food utensils from his own house. The old gentleman was grateful again, Yun Meng's illness had not yet recovered, so he had to be taken care of by the Zhang family in the Li family, and Mr. Yun moved to the ancestral hall first, and everything was finally settled.
