Chapter 41: The second aunt came to see her cousin
Reaching out and hugging his mother gently again, a scene from five years ago reappeared in the minds of the two of them......
The first rain after the beginning of spring was a little chilly, but it has also slowly moved from a raging state to a stable state.
For some people, this kind of weather inexplicably adds a bit of dullness.
"He's gone, his daughter is gone, his house is gone......" A thin, thin-skinny woman with a disheveled head, with a simple cane in her hand, babbling out of a dilapidated thatched hut.
Standing at the door of the house, she raised her head to look at the eyes ahead, and she was a little sluggish, and the snot on her mouth flowed down the nasal groove.
Under the drizzle, she walked up a rugged mountain road in front of the house, high and low, step by step, aiming at her waist, walking on the slippery road.
She walked hard, slowly, and stubbornly. As she fell again and again, the shabby clothes on her body were unconsciously dyed mud-colored.
And a pair of rag shoes on his feet, I don't know where the grass fell.
At this moment, in the opposite direction of her, another woman with short hair, who looked similar to Nana, Nana's mother, the second aunt, appeared, and the second aunt came along the ravine path behind the thatched hut with an umbrella to the mountainside.
She was dressed in a clean suit, with a pair of old, but rather practical black galoss on her feet, a bowl of hot broth in her hand, and a large bag of greens in her elbow.
The second aunt chattered as she walked, "My cousin-in-law is so pitiful, on such a cold day, send her a bowl of hot soup and some green vegetables......"
"Hongying," walked up the stairs of the thatched house, and the second aunt came to the miscellaneous house on the left side of the mountain, where several dilapidated pots and pots were thrown on the ground, and on one side of the broken stove, covered with dust, a spatula was thrown on the ground......
The second aunt shook her head and walked over, bent down to pick up the spatula on the ground, and put some green vegetables in her hand on the stove, and then turned around and walked towards the bedroom next to her.
The door opened, and the second aunt stepped into the threshold.
"Hongying, I'll serve you a bowl of hot soup, you ...... it while it's hot" Before he finished speaking, he stopped, and there was no one in sight of Hongying in the narrow bedroom. On the broken bed against the wall, some straw and a few shabby clothes were thrown, but people didn't know where they went.
Putting the hot soup in her hand on a broken stool next to the bed, the second aunt turned around sharply, walked out of the door, and searched for two circles in front of the house and behind the house, but still did not find the person she was looking for.
Standing in the lawn in front of the door, the second aunt frowned slightly, raised her eyes and looked around, on the path to the right, there were footprints of people walking......
"Where have the people gone? The road on this rainy day is not easy to walk, down here, is through the village river, these days, the water in the river has risen to ...... "The woman's heart suddenly stirred, bad! This woman is crazy, what if ......
She chased after her, and just after a few steps, she felt that it was inappropriate.
"No, I can't swim, and if something happens, I'm okay, I'm going to shout......" The woman turned and turned back the way she came......
At this time, Xiang Hongying, red and barefoot, continued to move forward in the rain of early spring, and after a while, she climbed the hillside to the river, found a stone, sat slowly by the river, and looked at the white waves rolling not far away with strange eyes.
At the moment, no one knows what is going on in her head.
"He's gone, the child is gone......" looked at the rolling waves, chattered to the red god and continued to think.
The "pop ......" waves roared and crashed against the shore again and again.
"Daughter, daughter......" Suddenly, Xiang Hongying straightened up, waved his hand towards the middle of the river, and walked towards the low riverbank on the right......
