Part 18

"Grandma, let's help it find its owner tomorrow before leaving!" An Wan said with a smile. "Okay, listen to you." Grandma dragged her heavy body and slowly got up, and An Wan picked up her coat and draped it over her.

When I woke up in the morning, there was no one in the house, even the kitten was nowhere to be seen, and An Wan wondered where her grandmother had gone in the morning? So he got dressed and went out to look for her, shouting as he looked.

Walking to the entrance of the village, under a big tree, my grandmother sat there with a kitten in her arms, her eyes staring straight into the distance, and she walked to her at night, only to hear her sigh, like vicissitudes of life, like powerlessness.

"Grandma, what are you doing sitting here? How cold the wind blows! ”

Although it is summer, since coming to Ningxiang, it has been raining continuously for several days, and I heard the old people in the village say that it is like this every year, so everyone is used to it.

"It's this old tree, it used to be full of sour dates, and it was a rare snack for the children in the village, but now even it doesn't grow leaves, it's old, it's old." The two "old" voices in the back are particularly solemn.

An Wan thought about it for a long time, she was very curious about what the sour jujube tasted like, she had heard her grandmother say it countless times before, but she didn't expect to miss its growing season when she came here, and she couldn't help but feel regretful.

"Let's go, help the kitten find its owner, and we'll go home." Grandma holding the kitten.

After walking for a while, I saw a little girl squatting on the ground counting ants, and An Wan asked, "Little sister, do you know whose family this kitten is?" ”

The little girl saw the kitten, showed her missing front tooth, and said with a smile, "Mi." Then he grabbed it from An Wan's hand.

"Mi? Is it your cat? An evening asked.

The smile on the little girl's face faded away, and she muttered, "Sister, I picked up Xiao Mi on the road, but my grandparents didn't let me raise it, so I could only hide it secretly." ”

"Then it can't eat well like this! And you can get sick when it's raining outside. Grandma said.

"Mother-in-law, can you take in Xiaomi? It's just so pathetic. The little girl looked as if she was wandering out and pitiful.

"Grandma, let's take Xiaomi back, so that I can accompany you." An evening sang and harmonized with the little girl.

"Okay, take it back."

"Great, Xiaomi, you have a new home, you must be obedient in the future!" The little girl touched Xiao Mi's head and reluctantly handed Xiao Mi into An Wan's hands.

"Don't worry, little sister, we will take care of it, and we will have the opportunity to bring it back to see you in the future." An Wan said, and her grandmother was silent next to her. Then An Wan hugged Xiao Mi and waved goodbye to the little girl.

"Grandma, let's name it again! Xiao Mi is so simple. "In An Wan's cognition when she was young, maybe all cats are called Xiaomi, and all dogs are called Wangcai.

"Okay, you want to!" Grandma replied casually.

"Well, I'll have to think about it." An Wan held her head in her right hand, and couldn't think of the result after thinking about it for a long time. "Forget it, go back and think about it." An Wan looked at the gentle and obedient Xiao Mi and said.

Grandma had already packed up her salute in the house, and when she parted, she looked around, and finally her slightly sunken eye sockets were full of old pictures on the wall, and she stopped for a moment, locked the door and left.

Arrived at the station, sparsely scattered more than a dozen people, bought tickets in the evening, there was more than an hour before the departure, picked up the mobile phone, and the battery was insufficient when it was turned on, and then there was a text message "half past seven in the evening, see you at the door of the planetarium", the text message was sent a day ago, there was no power in the village, so the mobile phone has been turned off.

Then she replied yes, and then turned off the phone. Gu Lingchen, who received the text message, was excited like a child, happy and free.

An hour passed, the bus left on time, An Wan on the bus hugged Xiao Mi, and her grandmother sat next to her and dozed off, with a smile on her face.

"Xiaomi, we're going home."

For some reason, the scenery outside the window is different now than when I came, and before I knew it, An Night also closed her eyes.

When I woke up, I was woken up by the sound of heavy rain hitting the glass window, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and the people in the car began to panic, and my grandmother's hand was tightly holding An Night's hand. The mountain road was already full of mud puddles, and the driver reassured everyone not to worry, and had encountered similar situations before.

The heavy rain was unexpected.

As soon as the words fell, the sky suddenly thundered and rolled down, and the heavy rain came in an instant.

The driver was not in a hurry, drove the car to the rest stop and stopped, telling everyone to go after the rain is lighter, if there is a mudslide, it will be a natural disaster or a man-made disaster. Fortunately, there are not many people in the car today, so it is easier to appease. After everyone got off the bus, some ate instant noodles and some smoked.

An Wan found a place to help her grandmother sit down, looking at the black and black, her heart began to become anxious and restless. Her frown deepened.

"Tonight, don't be afraid, everyone is here, we are safe." Grandma said, taking her hand.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to go back today and tomorrow morning." An evening is duplicitous.

"Don't worry, wait until you go back and grandma will explain to your teacher, anyway, you didn't mean it, what are you afraid of." Grandma said with a serious face.

An Wan thought to herself, yes, I didn't mean it anyway. But it was as if another voice was praying to God, if the rain would stop soon.

Perhaps the innocent heard her prayers, and the rain really stopped, but only two hours later. Everyone got into the car slowly, and the driver warned everyone to wear seat belts before setting off.

After a bumpy road, it was already dark when she returned to City C, and when she turned on her phone in the evening, there were several missed calls, and she just wanted to go back to the past, and the phone was automatically turned off when it was out of power.

Grandma was tired from the journey, she held her little mito and helped her grandmother, and waited for a long time to get a taxi. When she returned home, her grandmother suddenly fell to the ground with black eyes, and An Wan panicked and burst into tears. After about ten minutes, my grandmother opened her eyes slightly and looked at An Wan's ruddy eyes, "Don't worry, I'm just too tired these days to get in the way." ”

"Grandma, shall we go to the hospital?" An Wan choked up.

"My body knows by itself, it's really fine, the elderly will inevitably have a headache and brain fever, just rest for a while." Grandma tried hard to persuade and comfort her for a while, and only then did An Wan agree that she did not go to the hospital, and she finally said that she did not want to go to the hospital, and the smell of the disinfectant water was even more uncomfortable.

An night got hot water, helped her grandmother wash her feet, helped her to bed, and stayed by her bedside.

It's just that at this time, she had forgotten Gu Lingchen at the door of the planetarium, and waited for a long time, from the beginning of the colorful lights in the square were lit up, and there were crowds of people, until the lights dimmed, and only the security guards remained.

The weather in City C was similar to Ningxiang, and he didn't come back to his senses until the raindrops fell on Gu Lingchen's handsome face, and he was only left alone in the empty square.

The boy, holding an umbrella in the rain, waited for the girl he wanted to wait.

After a long time, he never waited for the girl, this was a loss he had never had, the ticket in his hand was torn to shreds, scattered all over the ground, threw the umbrella in his hand on the ground, and disappeared.
