"Grandma, are you awake?" The old lady's awakening made Ah Zhi inexplicably happy, she was afraid that the old lady would have any accidents.

As soon as the old lady woke up, her whole body was soaked in cold sweat, as if she was soaked in water, she pinched her face, she couldn't speak in pain, her face was purple and swollen and painful, and she slowly came back to her senses.

The old lady blinked, pursed her lips, raised her eyes and looked at the anxious girl in front of her, "Ah Zhi." ”

She said Ah Zhi, and Ah Zhi almost stumbled a few steps.

I vaguely remember that it's not that girl or that girl on weekdays, why has there been such a big change today?

The old lady asked again, her eyes were hot, her nose was sore, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes, and a few fell down.

"You're my Ah Zhi?" His voice trembled and hoarse, and he said it with his neck choked.

Ah Zhi nodded slightly, "Grandma, how are you, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

"No, I'm fine," the old lady looked her up and down as soon as she touched her sleeve, her whole body was soaked, her hair was covered with black mud, her immature little face was stained with mud, and only a pair of big watery eyes flickered.

"Go change your clothes, don't freeze." The old lady urged Ah Zhi to change his clothes, as if he would beat you if he didn't go.

Ah Zhi answered her, not to say that she followed her, but she woke up, and finally put down the heart blocked in her throat, it was a blessing that she was fine, but her change was really elusive.

Ah Zhi's clothes have changed, there are several layers of patches on his elbows, and his knees have been patched layer after layer, and the color of his clothes has been washed so that he can't see the original color, and now he sees blue-gray.

The soap liquid in a bamboo tube is used to wash the hair, and it doesn't smell good, but the only detergent will be just that.

To cure a person's cleanliness habit is to grow in adversity.

Before Ah Zhi had time to dry his hair, he pulled a cabinet according to his memory, found a pair of medicinal herbs, washed off some dust, and put them in a casserole over low heat to boil slowly.

The old lady's eyes were dim, her eyes looked straight at the beam, her hands tightly grasped the corners of the quilt, and the previous scene dangled in front of her eyes, as if it had really happened.

She has done a lot of wrong things in her life, causing her eldest son and wife to be separated, he made a bet with someone to kill a pig at a young age, and his eldest daughter-in-law ran away with someone, and when he heard that he was three months pregnant, he took the five-year-old daughter away.

Leaving behind a sick pig and a calf, when he left, the two carriages were stuffed to the brim, and even the souvenirs sent by the funeral were taken away, and the family could be said to have little left.

The second daughter-in-law went at a young age, and there was no illness or disaster, which was really distressing, but she finally left her roots, but unfortunately, the second child was depressed.

The third daughter-in-law is a good one, but she and the third child left their hometown with a few children and didn't even return home.

kept saying that she was doing business outside, and she couldn't pull away from it, but in the end, it wasn't the hairy girl in front of her who was not related by blood, the little man shouldered the burden of taking care of her, but he sucked her blood and knocked on her marrow. He also drove her sister away, and now she doesn't know where she is.

"Hey!" She sighed, closed her eyes, and when she opened them suddenly, she felt a sense of relief.

Ah Zhi brought the boiled medicinal soup, and she knew the bitterness just by smelling the taste, she put the soup bowl on the counter, turned out a small jar of brown sugar in the drawer, and scooped a spoonful of the sugar water.

"The medicine is not hot, drink it quickly." A Zhi washed away the sludge with a complicated smile on his little face, and said silently in his heart, I don't know if you can leave with peace of mind, but I will take good care of the old lady.

"Okay," the old lady lost her temper that she thought was noisy, and picked up the porcelain bowl amicably, frowning and pursing it, "Well, it's quite bitter." ”

After speaking, he laughed, picked up another porcelain bowl and took a sip of sugar water, and the bitterness in his mouth dissipated.

Ah Zhi saw that she finished drinking, and took the empty bowl, "Good medicine is good for illness, I'm going to cook, you can rest first, and call you when it's ready!" ”

When Ah Zhi went out, the smile on his face faded, and it was really difficult to pretend to be a person!

She put down the bowl, folded her hands, and said in her heart, I didn't mean to offend you, I will take good care of the old lady, if you hear it, can you go and reincarnate as a human being?

"Okay, thank you!"

A crisp and loud voice in the air fell on Ah Zhi's ears, and Ah Zhi suddenly sat on the ground in fright, speechless.

Ah Zhi's mood could not be calmed down for a long time, she looked up at the groggy cloudy sky with pouring rain and wind blowing.

There are only her and the old lady in this family, and there is no third person.

What's more, just a sentence recited silently in his heart, how could it be listened to, Ah Zhi raised his hand and touched the corner of his forehead, feeling disdainful, out of breath, unable to withstand the intimidation, and shed a cold sweat.

"I'm leaving, please take care of the old lady, and also take care of 'me', please find my sister as soon as possible, help me but wish! After that will be indefinite. ”

'Ah Zhi' is an invisible person, she is standing in the rain, her words are very light, so light that only Ah Zhi can hear, and it doesn't matter whether Ah Zhi hears it or not, 'Ah Zhi' looks through the crack in the door, old lady, goodbye, may you and I not meet again, don't see each other again, let me go, and let yourself go.

She floated in the air like a light breeze and drizzle, she took in the last scenery in her eyes, but in an instant, she shook it all off, she didn't bring anything when she was born, and she didn't want anything when she died.

'Ah Zhi' is gone, disappearing into the rain.

However, her words turned the world upside down in Ah Zhi.

"It's you," she said as if she had seen 'Ah Zhi', ignoring the torrential rain, she ran to the courtyard surrounded by bamboo fences, and she didn't even see the last side of 'Ah Zhi'.

She's gone, really gone.

The corners of Ah Zhi's mouth smiled in disbelief, and her heart was cut by a knife, she paced back, and went to the kitchen with a few wooden pillars and some thatched kitchens, I was really afraid that if a gust of wind blew, the kitchen would fall.

But this kitchen is not as fragile as Ah Zhi thought, not only did it not fall, but it still stands, and it has been there for three years.

Ah Zhi sighed incredibly, the seemingly crumbling kitchen has such tenacity.

The simple meal was prepared not long after, two black-faced wild vegetable dumplings, boiled porridge with clear soup and little water, and two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, which were placed on the low desk.

"Grandma, it's time to eat," Ah Zhi woke up the sleeping old lady with palpitations, "it's time to eat." ”

When the old lady heard the sound, she ate silently, and leaned there silently for a long time, quietly thinking about those dreams, thinking that now Ah Zhi is also a big girl, the family has no foundation, no matter who she marries, she will be treated unequally, if it is only for that half-star dowry, let her suffer a lifetime of suffering and sin, it is better to let her be by her side, even if it is a little harder, at least she can see her.

Ah Zhi came back after washing the dishes and chopsticks, and washed the clothes he had changed in the middle, sat next to the fire, and boiled hot water, the old lady still maintained the appearance of having just finished eating, and Ah Zhi couldn't help but worry.

"Grandma, what's wrong with you?" Ah Zhi stepped forward and put a small jacket on her shoulders, the rain was heavy, and it was a thatched hut, so she couldn't resist the cold, and the house naturally looked cold.

"It's okay, Ah Zhi! Grandma is sleepy and needs to rest. The old lady pretended to be sleepy, leaned against the pillow and closed her eyes, pulled the quilt to cover it, and snored a few times.

This...... Ah Zhi shook his head and didn't say anything more.

She sat under the eaves, leaning against the wall, her eyes eclipsed, staring closely at the apricot tree in the bamboo fence courtyard wall, the stars of crimson and light pink swaying in the rain.

Ah Zhi laughed, the world is full of strange things!
