Chapter Forty-Six: The Strange Grandpa Sun
Hearing my words, the old woman hurriedly raised her foot and kicked the old man, and then urged: "Old man, go and find it, let this child's master come quickly." By the way, it's dark outside, don't forget to bring an oil lamp, which can be lit up to some extent. After the old grandmother's words were finished, the old man still sat there smoking a dry tobacco pouch with an indifferent face, without the slightest intention of moving. The old woman immediately kicked the old man twice.
After several urgings, the old man finally stood up reluctantly, but he didn't seem to look at me much from the beginning to the end, and the air in the room almost condensed in his indifferent expression. For some reason, this old man felt very uncomfortable for me, he didn't seem to like me as a visitor, and he didn't like it very much, at least this emotional indifference made me feel it clearly.
When the old man walked out, I smacked my lips and asked the old man, "Grandma, is the old man unwilling to help me?" If you don't want to, then ......" I was tempted to say don't force it, but the old woman smiled kindly, but it interrupted me.
"Ergou, don't be afraid of him, he looks like that, putting on a dead face all day long, in fact, he is also a warm-hearted person." The old grandmother smiled and said again, "By the way, are you hungry?" I'm going to make you something to eat. ”
Seeing that the old grandmother was going out, I hurriedly said: "Grandma, I, I'm not hungry, I just want the old lady to sit here with me, I always feel unsteady, as if the people in your village don't welcome me very much, only the old grandmother is kind to me......" I said what I thought in my heart, the previous villagers, it seemed that I was also indifferent to me, but it was not as bad as this grandmother's wife.
Seeing the old grandmother nodding with a smile, I immediately asked without words: "By the way, what do you call the old grandmother?" And that old man, are you all locals of Shikeng Village? ”
Hearing this, the old grandmother still said with a smile: "My old man's surname is Sun, and I also follow my husband's surname, you can call him grandpa, just call me grandma, hehe!" Speaking of which, we are not locals, but in the early years, we had a bad year there, so we moved all the way to the east, and we came to this Shikeng Village, and now we are old and have become accustomed to living here. ”
With Grandma Sun's introduction, I learned that this Shikeng village is also full of poor families, and most of the young and strong people are no longer in the village, leaving only a group of old men and old women gathered here to depend on each other, no wonder there are no young people among the people I saw. But Grandma Sun's last words surprised me, I was actually in a coma here for two days!
"Two days? Grandma Sun, so to speak, I, I was in a coma for two days?! "I was stunned, in this way, isn't Master looking for me everywhere? But if Master can't find this place, how can he join me? Alas, this matter has been missing, and the master has found me and designated that he will scold me, and it is strange not to scold. The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't lie down, but as soon as I wanted to get up, I was persuaded by my grandmother to go back to bed.
Grandma Sun said with concern: "Ergou, although you fell into the waterhole and did not fall injured, but you suffocated in the water for an unknown amount of time, your body is very weak, you still have to rest more, besides, you have just woken up, and it is not too late to get up when you feel hungry and eat something, and recover some strength." Look outside, it's still dark and dark, you just can't do anything at this time, right? ”
I looked up at the sky outside through the window, and it was indeed as Grandma Sun said, the night outside was still very deep, and at this time, I was afraid that I would be unconscious again before I could find the master. Thinking about it, I had to obey Grandma Sun's arrangement, thinking that Grandma Sun had asked Grandpa Sun to look for Master, and I must be able to find Master, and at this moment, Master must be looking for me everywhere, as long as I find Master, I won't worry.
I chatted with Grandma Sun for a long time, worried that Grandma Sun was too tired, so I was busy thanking Grandma and letting Grandma Sun rest. Before Grandma Sun left, she asked me to sleep a little longer, and after a few pleasantries, I was the only one left in the room.
I lay quietly on the bed, looking through the yellowish light, looking at the dilapidated roof, and after a long time, I still couldn't sleep. I remember that I have walked all the way with my master, it has never been smooth, I can almost say that one step at a time, even if I find a piece of water, I can fall like this, but this time it is okay, the last time I fetched water, I met a little ghost next to the stream, and I almost fainted, but this time there was a kind villager grandma Sun to save me.
I don't know how long I thought about it, but I finally couldn't help but slowly get up and get out of bed. After getting dressed and shoeed, I staggered to my feet, shook my head, and then walked out of the inner room with my hands on the wall, and as far as the eye could see, it was a low thatched house, but there were three rooms on the left and right. It's just that I really want to look outside and see the sky, after all, I have been in a coma for two days, I just want to take two breaths, and I don't have the heart to see everything in the house, when I came to the door, I looked up at the dilapidated houses around me, and then took a look at the dim sky overhead.
There is no moon tonight, and there don't seem to be stars, I sighed a little depressed, and just wanted to lean against the wall, but coldly, I flashed to the side in horror, but at the base of the wall, there was a person squatting. looked down carefully, this, isn't this Grandpa Sun? He was still smoking a dry tobacco pouch, but didn't Grandma Sun let him go out to find Master before? Why did he just go out of the door and sit here?
Didn't go? Still didn't find it and came back?
My heart was full of questions, but I didn't know how to ask for a while, and I couldn't find the slightest bit of attention from Grandpa Sun's indifferent face. But it's about whether I can meet Master as soon as possible, I stubbornly walked to Grandpa Sun's side, barely squeezed out a smile, and asked awkwardly, "Grandpa Sun, are you...... You haven't found my master? "Saying this, in fact, I don't know how to ask, if he went to look for it and didn't find it, but I asked you if you went to find it, it would inevitably offend people.
Asking like this also proves that he went to find it. But I asked for a while, but Grandpa Sun didn't even raise his head together, and he didn't even say a word, I was bored with myself. I secretly wonder if this grandfather Sun is deaf? Otherwise, if I ask him with good words, why does he ignore me? It's not right to think about it, because I saw Grandma Sun talking to him before, and if he was deaf, Grandma Sun would definitely not talk to him, so why? Even if he doesn't like me as a guest, he can say it, and I can accept it, but he doesn't even bother to talk to me, it's too embarrassing and boring, right?
"Grandpa Sun, if you don't like me living in your house, I'll just leave. But I really want to know where my master is, and he must be looking for me in a hurry, alas! "I said let's talk about it, I looked down and saw that Grandpa Sun was still smoking a dry tobacco pouch, I wondered a little, what does this Grandpa Sun mean? Why didn't you say a word to me?
After a while, I kind of wanted to find Grandma Sun, I'm afraid that he will only listen to Grandma Sun's words, and if I find Grandma Sun, let Grandma Sun ask him. Thinking of this, I hurriedly called out to Grandma Sun, but after looking around, I found everything inside and outside the house, but there was no one. Did you go and help me find a kettle like the villagers? Well, presumably yes, Grandma Sun is a kind and enthusiastic grandmother, and she designated it to help me find the kettle, or to help me find the master!
Looking back, I sat helplessly beside Grandpa Sun, staring blankly at him smoking a dry tobacco pouch, at this moment, I really don't know what to do. Grandma Sun couldn't find anyone, and Grandpa Sun hardly said a word to me, as if I didn't exist.
"Alas, I don't know how anxious my master is, and I don't know if my master has found water to drink...... I held my face, looked up at the dim sky, and then said: "I don't know if my master has been doing well in the past two days, and I don't know if ......"
Just as I was muttering to myself, I suddenly saw Grandpa Sun suddenly turn his head to look at me, I was so frightened that I couldn't help but swallow my saliva, could it be that I was talking too much? Grandpa Sun is impatient to listen? Or does Grandpa Sun not want me to stay with him? I hurriedly closed my mouth, retreated back in embarrassment, and whispered: "Grandpa Sun, I, I'll go into the house and continue to sleep, and when Grandma Sun comes back, I'll ask Grandma Sun again, don't look at me like that, I'm a little afraid of you." ”
As I spoke, I was just about to turn around and enter the house, but as soon as my arm sank, I turned my head around, but when I saw Grandpa Sun's hand, he grabbed my arm so tightly that I sat down on the ground in fright, and hurriedly grinned and asked, "Grandpa Sun, you, what do you want to do?!" ”
Grandpa Sun got up and pulled me up, and said coldly, "Follow me!" ”
"Oops! Grandpa Sun, where are you going to take me? It's not going to kick me out, is it? But I'm having a hard time walking, where can I go? I, I, I haven't waited for Grandma Sun to come back! I dragged backwards with all my heart, but Grandpa Sun's hand was unusually strong, and he dragged me outside desperately, and I was not allowed to say more than half a word.
Grandpa Sun pulled me out of the courtyard door before he casually said an indifferent word: "You can't stay at my house, get out of here quickly!" ”
"Uh...... I'm just recuperating from my injuries, at least when I see my grandmother, I can say goodbye to my grandmother, right? Grandpa Sun, Grandpa Sun, can you stop dragging me, I want to say goodbye to Grandma Sun! "I was a little resistant to talking nonsense with Grandpa Sun, but I still couldn't pull Grandpa Sun, maybe because my breath was too weak, and I was dragged all the way out of the village by Grandpa Sun.
