Ten years ago, the Sun Empire.

On a rainy day when the sun was extremely rare, Anansias, who was only seven years old, sat on the steps in front of the door and stared blankly at the dark clouds in the sky.

In the summer of the Sun Empire, even on such a rainy day, there is always a sultry atmosphere in the air, but An An still likes rainy days very much, because the sun is hidden, so that he can look up at the sky, even if it is as dark and heavy as this home.

An An doesn't like this family, because since An An was sensible, her parents kept arguing almost every day over a little thing, but An An was not afraid, because An An still had a harbor to hide, that is, her grandmother's arms.

An An likes the feeling of being held in her arms by her grandmother, grandma holds An An, An An holds the doll, the two of them are close to each other, and the small world is full of warmth and happiness that the world envies.

An An often thinks that maybe this family doesn't need parents at all, it's enough to have a grandmother, An An and a doll.

An An thought that she could be held in her grandmother's arms forever, and she would never have to care about those sorrows and pains.

Until one day.

An An lost her only harbor.

On this rainy day, my parents once again quarreled over some inconsequential trivialities, my father slammed the door and left, and my mother hid in the house alone and got angry.

An An has long been surprised by such a situation, she never thought of persuading her parents to reconcile, because the quarreling parents are too terrible, and she doesn't want to be beaten.

Anyway, there is a grandmother and a doll.

An An took the doll to her grandmother's room and tiptoed to unlock the door.

"Grandma, An An is coming for you. ”

The cramped little bedroom was not lit and looked even darker in the gloomy weather.

"Grandma, why haven't you gotten up yet? It was already dawn, but it was raining outside, so it was dark. I'll help you turn the lights on. ”

An An fumbled and pressed the switch, and in this poor home, the old incandescent lights had become dim.

An An walked to her grandmother's bedside, pushed her grandmother's arm, and called her grandmother again, but her grandmother did not respond.

"Grandma, grandma, wake up. Yesterday's story isn't over yet. ”

"Grandma, why are your hands so cold?"

"Grandma, are you sick?"

"Grandma?"

The young An An finally felt that something was wrong, she remembered the big dog that used to play with her, and it was also motionless like this on the day it died, like ice.

An An's face turned pale, and her pupils were full of fear.

An An ran to her mother's room, but her mother locked the door, she couldn't push it open, she could only use her greatest strength to keep knocking on the door panel, and shouted to her mother in the loudest voice: "Mom, Mom!

An An's voice was full of fear, and tears kept flowing, but her mother never opened the door, but said coldly through the door panel: "Are you dead? Hmph!

An An's hand froze, and she didn't know what to do anymore.

An An walked back to her grandmother's room, lay on the side of her grandmother's bed, held her grandmother's hand, and called her grandmother again and again, but her grandmother never woke up.

Dad didn't come back until the evening, An An cried and begged Dad to save Grandma, but was coldly thrown aside by Dad .

The next day, Dad found someone to bury my grandmother together, and on a small hill not far away, there was no funeral, no tombstone, only a bulging grave bag.

Dad went home early, Mom didn't even come to see it, only An An cried alone in front of the grave until there was no sound.

"Little girl, why are you crying so sadly?"

An unfamiliar voice came from the side, and An An looked up, it was an unusually tall man, wearing a black robe.

"My grandma died. An An replied with a crying voice, and her immature voice was already hoarse.

"Well, poor boy. Your grandma must love you very much. ”

"Grandma is the best person in this world for me. ”

"More than anyone else?"

"More important than anyone else!"

"So, do you want her to- come alive?"

An An looked up at the man suddenly, and the man's expression was very serious.

"Is that okay?"

"Yes. As long as you want. ”

"Grandma said that there is no such thing as free bread in the world. I don't have any money. ”

"Your grandmother is right. However, I don't want money, I want it, you must have it, but are you willing to exchange it for your grandmother's life?"

"I do. Whatever it is!"

"Good. ”

The man took out a bear doll from his arms and handed it to An An: "Take it, it will respond to your wishes." ”

An An took the bear doll in a daze, this doll is very similar to the doll that her grandmother bought for her before, but it needs to be updated, the previous doll, An An buried it with her grandmother.

"Make your wish. The man's voice seemed to have a magical power.

An An held the bear puppet in both hands and touched her forehead with the doll: "Please! Give me back grandma! Please!"

In a moment, the bear doll's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange red light, and the red light became more and more intense, until An An's whole person was surrounded.

The man's eyes suddenly flashed with extreme surprise: "It's successful! Finally found! Finally found!"

The red light gradually dissipated, and An An felt as if she was in a dream, dreaming that she was kindly held in her arms by her grandmother.

An An slowly opened his eyes, but the dream was still a dream, and the cold grave bag was still in front of him.

"You lied to me! You said you could bring grandma back to life!"

The frenzy in the man's eyes had dissipated, and he smiled and said, "I didn't lie to you! Look, isn't your grandmother already back!"

The sound of the mud sliding down came, and An An turned her head to see a pale, wrinkled palm sticking out of the mound!

It's Grandma's hand! Grandma is resurrected!

An An grabbed the hand in surprise, there was no temperature, but An An felt extremely warm.

An An struggled to pick up the soil with both hands, the man looked at this scene, shook his head, and with a wave of his hand, the small mound of dirt opened, sending An An's grandmother out.

An An threw herself into her grandmother's arms, and her grandmother also held An An with both hands.

"Grandma, you're back. An An's voice was filled with a childish cry.

"Well, grandma is back. ”

"Grandma don't leave An An again!"

"Well, grandma will never leave An An again!" Grandma's hand gently stroked An An's hair, her smile was very kind, but her eyes were gray and dead.

In the evening, after saying goodbye to the strange man, An An and her grandmother went home together, An An's parents still maintained a cold war state, sitting silently at the table, eating dinner separately, and they did not even leave a pair of chopsticks for their daughter.

When An An and her grandmother walked into the door together, An An's parents looked up, and then froze together!

"What's going on, this, what's going on?"

"An'an, who's next to you?"

"It's grandma. ”

"No way! Your grandma, she's dead!"

"Grandma isn't dead!"

"An An, let go of your hand! Your grandma, she's dead! That can't be your grandma!"

"Don't! You lie! Grandma, she's not dead! An An will never leave grandma!"

Grandma smiled at An An's parents, but with that pale face and empty eyes, this could not be a living person at all!

An An's parents stepped back in horror, and the dishes and chopsticks shattered to the ground.

"You're the devil! Mom, she's dead!"

An An's father picked up a broken bowl stubble in a panic and smashed it at An An and her grandmother, who were approaching step by step, and the grandmother reached out to protect An An in her arms, allowing the broken bowl to cut the corner of her eye.

Dark red blood dripped on An An's forehead, An An raised her head and looked at the bleeding grandmother, her eyes gradually becoming hollow.

"Don't hurt grandma!"

Yes, only grandma will be good to An An in this world, except for grandma, An An doesn't need anyone anymore!

The eyes of the bear doll in An An's arms lit up again, and An An's parents were horrified to find that they couldn't control their actions!

"An An only needs grandma alone! You all die! An An only needs grandma! You all die, die!"

An An's childish and hoarse voice echoed through the room, full of hysterical madness.

An An's parents' eyes were full of fear, and they wanted to open their mouths and shout, but they couldn't even open their lips, so they could only watch as their hands picked up the broken bowl on the ground without obeying the call, and stabbed it hard at their hearts.

This family, as long as grandma and An An are fine.

......

Ten years later.

An An returned to the small house again, like a wooden ship sailing back to the harbor.

"An An, are you back? Come on! Grandma knew that you would be back today, and specially made your favorite sweet and sour fish!"

An An smiled sweetly, and the tiredness in her heart seemed to disappear completely.

In this world, the only one who loves An An is grandma.
