Chen Wen got up early in the morning, in order to take care of her silkworms, picked new mulberry leaves, held a large handful of mulberry leaves, pushed open the door of the firewood house, and clearly heard the sound of spring rain.

Silkworms don't seem to have to sleep, they are gnawing on the leaves all day long, and every time Chen Wen comes to change the leaves and clean them, they are eating.

Chen Wen spread the mulberry leaves to the brim. The silkworm is already very large, and it will look for new leaves on its own, so there is no need for Chen Wen to move it anymore.

The amount of leaves they eat has also become very large, and it is no longer enough to solve a large number of leaves with three or four pieces a day. Therefore, Chen Wen has to fill his bag when picking leaves.

Chen Wen patiently spread the leaves on them, until the last layer of silkworms on the bamboo frame froze.

She panicked and poked their bodies lightly with her fingers.

Poke once, twice...... It's useless, a lot of silkworms don't move.

Chen Wen was so anxious that she sweated out, she pinched the body of the silkworm and put it on the fresh mulberry leaves, they usually have to fight for mulberry leaves, but now, they don't move, and they don't eat.

Chen Wen took a closer look, and his emotions suddenly collapsed.

Chen Wen clearly remembered the feeling of touching them, their bodies were weak, and they did not have the vitality of the past.

Die...... He's dead?

A lot of them don't move, and the rest that can move only moves once in a long time.

Chen Wen was so anxious that tears were about to fall out...... Obviously it was fine when I changed the leaves for the last time yesterday.

Died overnight without warning?

Looking at the silkworms I just fed, they are all very good and energetic.

All those in this basket are half dead.

Chen Wen stood still, and after a long time, he raised his hand and put the corpse of the silkworm together.

Gradually, his eyes were full of tears, Chen Wen couldn't control his tear ducts, and the tears fell and couldn't stop.

Li Suniang brought the rice to the table, but seeing that Chen Wen didn't come out of the firewood room for a long time, she went to call her to eat.

Who knows...... When Chen Wen turned around, he saw Chen Wen standing with tears on his face, crying silently.

Li Suniang, who hadn't seen Chen Wen crying for a long time, felt a tightening heart: "What's the matter?" ”

Chen Wen choked: "It's dead." ”

Li Suniang looked at the silkworms on the shelf and instantly understood what was going on. Hurry up and take a look...... Isn't that a good life?

"No, no." Chen Wen handed the box containing the corpse of the silkworm to Li Suniang.

Li Suniang looked down, and sure enough, she didn't move, her body was soft, and she was dead.

"What's going on?"

"I have newly laid mulberry leaves, and the other silkworms have eaten well, only the silkworms in the bottom layer are dead and alive. At first, I thought they had no appetite, but when I was leaving, I realized something was wrong. ”

Li Suniang hurriedly brought the silkworm aside, hugged Chen Wen distressedly, and patted her back: "Don't cry, don't cry." ”

When no one comforted him, Chen Wen could still hold back his crying, and as soon as someone comforted him, Chen Wen suddenly wanted to cry.

Chen Wen buried his face in Li Suniang's arms and cried loudly, covering up the sound of other silkworms eating mulberry leaves.

I don't know how long I cried, and I cried until Chen Wen's voice was hoarse.

"How can they all be dead?"

I have been carefully raising them for a long time, and I am like a baby every day, feeding them delicious food, and they actually die like this.

Is...... Don't be angry!

Chen Wen, who had pinned too much hope on silkworms, felt extremely sad.

"Just a few died, and many more."

Li Suniang felt that it was normal, and the little girl could understand that she had poor tolerance in her heart.

"Different ......"

This death, a quarter of the silk is missing, there is no quilt, there is no quilt!

I just want to live a day with down jackets and quilts in ancient times, which is so difficult.

After Chen Wen slowly suppressed his tears, Li Suniang said: "I told you first, silkworms are expensive to raise, and there are more people who die inexplicably." Don't be too sad, just keep it up and play. ”

"I thought...... I thought I had the ability to raise it. Thinking of this, Chen Wen choked up again.

She has seen a lot of theories, and it is easy to see others raise them...... Why did she die?

A bright blow!

"Okay, okay, don't cry, I raised a few silkworms to death, and my eyes were swollen from crying."

"Grandma!" Chen Wen wiped away his tears with his sleeve, "Won't you comfort people!" ”

Li Suniang held back the words blocked in her throat and eyes.

She also wanted to say that in the future, if she couldn't support herself, wouldn't she be sad to die?

However, Chen Wen gradually stopped crying, Li Suniang sighed, took the corpses of those silkworms, and prepared to go out.

Chen Wen wiped the tears on his chin with his sleeve, and asked with teary eyes, "Where are you going?" ”

"Go and bury them."

"I ...... I'll go myself. ”

There is a beginning and an end, and she has been taking care of them, so she will give them the last ride.

"That's fine." Li Suniang pointed casually: "Bury them under the star fruit tree." ”

Chen Wen stepped on it with his feet, found a slightly softer position, dug a pit with a shovel, and reluctantly buried the silkworm carefully in it.

The pit is not big, it is all filled with silkworm corpses, Chen Wen squatted, and couldn't help muttering: "In the next life, you must live a little tenaciously, and you can't cross your feet at every turn, otherwise your master will be very sad." ”

Just like her.

When filling the soil with a shovel, Chen Wen suddenly thought about his previous swear that he would definitely raise silkworms well, as if he was slapping his face.

No, no, no, there are a lot of silkworms left, she has to take care of it, but she can't die again, otherwise her hard work will be in vain.

Thinking about the silkworms raised in the same basket as them, still dying in the house, Chen Wen couldn't help but speed up the filling speed.

She hadn't figured out why the silkworms had died.

After filling in the last shot, Chen Wen casually turned around and saw Zhang Alan leaning on his fence, supporting his chin, bored watching her fill in the soil.

Chen Wen exclaimed: "I'm scared to death!" ”

Zhang Alan was also frightened, because Chen Wen had red eyes and red nose, and was frightened.

"What are you crying about?" He hurriedly defended himself: "I had footsteps just now, but you didn't hear what you were muttering." ”

"You're just holding on to me?"

"That's right." Zhang Alan nodded seriously: "What are you doing?" Why are you still crying? ”

Chen Wen was silent for a moment and said to her, "The silkworm is dead." ”

"Dead?"

Zhang Alan blinked, she once saw that group of little things eating leaves, isn't it still full of vitality? It's only been a few days, and you're dead?

Well, it's quite normal to raise silkworms privately and die.

Alas, Chen Wen cried so sadly, didn't she still want to make winter clothes......

Chen Wen was disappointed, "Hmm." ”

"All of them?"

"That's not ......"

Hearing that it was not all, Zhang Alan let go of his hanging heart.

"It's not all of it."

She used to privately think that Chen Wen would not be able to support her, and today's news was expected by her.
