The little boy is not very old, and it is impossible to run too fast, I just want to ask him to understand, gritted my teeth, and ran over.

Between the runs, my heart sank to the bottom again. For such a long time, the tendons, muscles, and even bones in my body have been severely atrophied and deformed, and it is very difficult to run, coupled with physical strength problems, I only ran ten or twenty meters away, and my lungs seemed to be wrapped in a membrane, and it was difficult to breathe.

Vaguely, I felt like I couldn't even catch up with a five or six-year-old child.

The little boy was probably really frightened by my appearance, and he ran very fast, and the road from here to the village was unpaved and bumpy. I was anxious that if the child ran near the village, I would be in great trouble if I chased after him and was discovered. In such a hurry, I couldn't help but hold my breath and did my best to speed up.

After running a few steps, my eyes were sparkling, and I tripped over the stone under my feet, and I was a little far away from the little boy, but when I struggled to get up, I pulled away from the other party for more than ten meters.

But I still didn't want to give up like that, I couldn't tell why, this little boy made me care a lot, and I was bent on catching up with him and talking to him again.

I didn't even have time to pat the dust off my body, so I ran forward. However, as I accelerated with all my might, several bright lights suddenly flashed on the road leading to the village.

The little boy had already run to the road, and as soon as the light shone on him, it immediately shone on him. Immediately, I heard a middle-aged woman crying, rushing up desperately and hugging the little boy.

My heart was completely cold, this little boy was probably playing outside, and he hadn't come home after dark, and the adults in the family were looking around, and finally found him. The little boy was taken away by his family, and I had little chance to get close to him again.

I was disappointed, and at the same time I had to run to the side of the road and hide, because if the little boy told the adults about meeting me, they might come looking for me.

However, the boy's family found him and hurried away. Suddenly, I saw the middle-aged woman holding the little boy, who seemed to be looking at this side constantly.

The other party walked farther and farther, and I got out of the hiding place, and after making sure that there was no problem, I wanted to secretly follow it again to see whose child it was. In the village, there is only one of our family's surnames, and this little boy is also surnamed Lian, whose family will he be?

With the doubts in my heart, I walked towards the front of the side of the path, and the adults walked relatively fast, and I was afraid that I would not be able to catch up, so I tried my best to run directly on the path.

I ran to the end of the trail and crossed about 300 meters of dirt pavement to the outside of the village. Just as I was desperate to move on, a man suddenly stood up in a dirt ditch at the end of the path.

This man was so deeply hidden that not only did I not notice it, but even the adults who came to look for the little boy just now. My senses were declining, and I was so close that I didn't even know there was a person in the ditch by the roadside.

I stopped in the middle of running, and when I stood up and looked at the man, I was very, very surprised.

When I saw that person, it was Grandma Wu.

The grandmother Wu in front of me was much older, her hair was all white, and her waist, as if she was as stiff as me, stood in the ditch, looking at me with a trace of pity in her eyes.

"Baby." Grandma Wu crawled out from the ditch, to be honest, when I saw her, I was really stunned, because I couldn't imagine that I would see her here.

What's more, Grandma Wu's appearance at such a timely time and place has to make me suspect that she is waiting for me here.

With a question in my mind, I walked over and reached out and pulled her up. Grandma Wu was indeed very old, and when she came out of the ditch, she was unable to do anything, and I dragged her so hard that she almost fell.

"Grandma Wu, are you here? Waiting for me here? ”

"If I'm not waiting for you, who else can I wait? Baby, did you come alone? ”

"Well, a man came."

"Then let's go, I'm going to take you to someone."

As I thought, Grandma Wu really came here to wait for me. There were more questions in my head, and my chaotic thoughts almost twisted into a knot.

"Grandma Wu, who are we going to find?"

"Baby, I'll have a heartfelt word with you." Grandma Wu didn't answer my question, after coming out of the ditch, she carefully patted the dust on my body, and then turned around and walked towards the way up the mountain, she walked very slowly, and said as she walked: "Although we are just a villager, but I have never regarded you as the same as other children, how to say, you were also delivered by my own hands back then, baby, you have become like this, I ...... in my heart Uncomfortable ......"

"Am I not alive and well?" I knew that Grandma Wu might really pity me, but at this time, I was in no mood to tell her this, and I wanted to know who asked her to wait for me here: "Grandma Wu, do you know that I am coming back?" ”

"I don't know, it was someone else who told me to wait for you here."

"Who?"

"There is a person surnamed Su, Su Shiren, you know."

"Su Shiren? Did he tell you to wait here for me? ”

"It's him."

"Where is he now?"

"Baby, don't ask." Grandma Wu shook her head and said, "I can't tell you about this matter. ”

I easily got a little clue, how could I give up, I simply stopped in front of Grandma Wu and asked, "Grandma Wu, if I don't make this matter clear, can I be down-to-earth?" ”

"Let's go, I'll show you that person, she'll tell you."

Grandma Wu said this, I didn't want to chase after her anymore, and followed her all the way up the mountain.

The mountainous terrain behind the village is generally not very complicated, but there is a three-way junction in the middle. The road to the west leads to a very deserted hillside, where people used to lead the cattle to graze when the village had cattle, but then the cattle disappeared and the hillside was completely deserted. When I was young, adults didn't let my children play there, and the vegetation near the hillside was very lush, and the terrain was not good, so if you weren't careful, you would be in danger.

Grandma Wu led me towards the hillside, and after turning a corner on the west side of the hillside, there was a winding mountain path. Halfway up the hill I saw two very low thatched huts, which were dimly lit.

There is no doubt that the thatched hut is the destination that Grandma Wu wants to take me to, until now, I don't know who is in the thatched hut, but the winding mountain road is soon over, and the thatched hut is close in front of me.

There were obviously people in the thatched hut, probably the sound of me and Grandma Wu stepping on the fallen leaves alarmed the people in the house, and as soon as I walked to the house, the door creaked open from the inside.

Halfway up the mountain, it was white in the moonlight, and coming out of the small hut was also a very old woman. I don't know if I smelled it wrong, or if the smell in the room was too strong, but when the old woman pushed the door and came out, I smelled a strong smell of burning incense and candles.

This old woman's eyes may not be very good, I saw that her eyes were cloudy, like cataracts. She stood outside the door, fumbled for a small chair, sat down on herself, and beckoned us to sit together.

Grandma Wu must know each other, and after she sat down in front of the old woman, she said, "It's this child." ”

The old woman rolled her eyelids, probably observing me, but her eyes were not good, and she almost came up to my face.

"Wazi, her surname is Sun, she used to do things for others, and she lived in Majiayao, have you heard of it?" Grandma Wu introduced it to me, if she didn't say it, I might not have the slightest impression, but as soon as she said that Majiayao helped people break things, I really had some relevant memories in my mind.

Majiayao is far away from our village, estimated to be about 50 kilometers, and there was little contact between the two villages when transportation was inconvenient in the past. Majiayao is much more famous than our village, just because there is a master of solving problems for others.

What is the name of the person who broke the matter, I don't have an impression of it, anyway, I know it's a woman. In the early years, people in the countryside believed in these things, for example, if a child loses his soul and takes medicine that doesn't work, he has to find someone who is to help shout and call the soul back. Another example is that after walking at night, I feel unclean, and I am always restless in the next few days, and I have to deal with it with broken things.

This thing is just like doing business, the name is out, and customers come to the door in an endless stream. The master of Majiayao's affairs has maintained a high reputation for decades, and it was not until I was in college that I occasionally returned to the village to hear that the master may have run into some trouble and ruined his eyes. I didn't have to deal with this passer-by at the time, and I was done listening.

At this time, after Grandma Wu's introduction, I decided that this old woman surnamed Sun should be the master of Majiayao.

However, I still don't quite understand, what does this matter have to do with Mrs. Sun?

Mrs. Sun looked a little infiltrating, and it is estimated that she has been dealing with those strange things in the past few decades, and sitting next to her always makes people feel gloomy.

Mrs. Sun took the bowl on the small table and poured water for us to drink, the bowl was full of dust, and the water in the kettle was also cold. Grandma Wu knew what I meant, took the kettle in Mrs. Sun's hand, and said, "This baby has already come, tell him about it." ”

Mrs. Sun has an eerie aura, but this has nothing to do with her own temperament, I feel that her attitude and tone are more kind. She strained to open her cloudy eyes and looked at me again. The way I look now, anyone who sees me will mumble, but Mrs. Sun probably has seen too many weirdos and strange things before, and she doesn't regard me as an outlier at all.

"The guy surnamed Su has something I want to tell you." After Mrs. Sun finished looking, she picked up the water bowl, took a sip, and said, "Since you are here, you have to meet him." ”
