Chapter 2 I found my mother
The man was so good-looking, even in the dim light that the sun had set, you could see how good he looked.
The flying sword eyebrows, starry eyes, tall nose, tight thin lips, and thin cheeks with perfect lines are not too good-looking.
I've ever seen the best-looking person.
Looking at him like this, my heart couldn't help beating up, and I forgot the pain of falling on my body, and the embarrassment I was in, so I looked at him blankly.
It wasn't until he walked past me that I realized my gaffe, and I realized that he was good-looking, but he was a very cold person.
When he saw me fall to the ground, he didn't even ask, let alone help me.
However, when I thought about it, I didn't know him, and it was normal for him not to ask me or help me.
When I looked at the sky again, it was even darker than just now. I quickly patted the weeds and dust stuck to my body, picked up my suitcase, and continued on my way.
When I came to a corner, a person suddenly came out of the fork next to me, and when he saw me, he said in surprise: "Hey, isn't this Xiao Ran?" How to ......"
"Ahh And when I heard her voice, it was frightened, terrified.
I was busy just now, and there were so many trees and weeds on the side of the road, and the light was dim, I didn't even pay attention to where she came from, and it felt as if she had suddenly appeared, and my heart was about to jump out of fear.
"Oops, Xiao Ran scared you. Don't be afraid, I'm your second mother. "Someone said she was my second mother, and my heartbeat gradually stabilized.
When I look closely, it's really my second mother.
My grandmother is just my father's son, and he has no brothers, only cousins.
This second mother is my second grandfather's family.
"It's the second mother. Sorry, I didn't see it clearly. I was embarrassed to explain.
The second mother looked at me, then at the suitcase in my hand, and asked, "Why are you still walking out so late?" ”
When I heard her ask, I thought of the ruthless grandmother who didn't like me and refused to let me stay at home even one night, and I couldn't help but feel aggrieved.
But grievances are grievances, and I didn't plan to tell my second mother about it.
One is that I feel like I'm saying bad things about my grandmother. Although she is really bad to me, and a little bad, she is my grandmother and an elder after all.
The second is that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, although the second mother is not too outsider, but for my grandmother, she is still a little outsider.
"Your grandmother scolded you again?" Seeing that I didn't speak, the second mother also guessed probably.
After all, my grandmother doesn't like me, the whole village knows it, and it's normal for the second mother to guess.
But even if the second mother guessed it, I didn't want to admit it, so I denied it: "No." It's a bit urgent, and I have to rush back as soon as possible. ”
"What's the catch? It's so late, where is there a car in town. Besides, it's still a few miles away from the town, and you little girl, it's not safe to walk at night, and I don't feel at ease. Okay, let's stay at my house for one night, and I'll take you to town tomorrow morning for a ride. ”
In the face of my second mother's enthusiasm, I didn't want to refuse at all, my heart was full of emotion and warmth.
At the same time, I thought to myself, my second mother, a little outsider, was so enthusiastic about me, but my grandmother, a dear relative, was so indifferent to me.
Comparing the two, there is an indescribable sadness in my heart.
"Thank you, second mother, then I'm welcome."
"You're welcome. When you come to my house, it's like your own home. Come on, I'll pull it for you. "The second mother reached out and wanted to help me pull the suitcase.
"No need. The box is not heavy, and I can pull it. I blocked it with my hand, and my hand touched the second mother's hand, which was the coldness of the tentacles, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Second mother, why are your hands so cold?" ”
"Oh, I just washed a basin of clothes, so my hands are cold." The second mother explained.
After listening to this explanation, I didn't think much about it, and followed my second mother to her house.
The second mother's home, built on an independent high slope, is a small two-story western-style building, and there is no family next to it.
It's very strange, in the past, when it was dark, I came to my second mother's house alone, and I didn't think this road was gloomy, but today I think this road is so gloomy and scary.
I vaguely feel as if there is a pair of eyes behind me, staring at me, staring at my heart.
But thinking that there was a second mother by my side, I wasn't so scared, so I leaned closer to the second mother.
In the dimness, I didn't notice that when I approached the second mother, she moved to the side.
When I arrived at the second mother's house, it was dark, and I wondered, "Aren't they at home with the second father?" ”
"The big ones haven't come back from the holidays, and the small ones haven't had holidays yet. Your second father went to drink the cow, and I just went down to see if he came back. No, did I happen to meet you? The second mother said with a smile as she opened the door.
Drinking cows, drinking and reading the fourth tone, should be the local dialect of our hometown, which means taking cattle to nearby ponds or rivers to drink.
The door opened, and the second mother turned on the street lamp on the porch and the lamp in the yard.
When I landed, the surroundings lit up, and the eerie feeling dissipated a lot.
"It just so happens that your sister hasn't come back, so you'll stay in her room tonight, and her room has a bathroom. I just changed the mat and sheets, and I waited for her to come back from vacation, who knew that she was going to work for the summer. ”
My sister is my second mother's family, two years younger than me, and she is also in college. The younger one is a younger brother, who is in high school, and he should be making up classes before he has a holiday.
"Okay." I pulled my suitcase and walked into the middle of the yard to find that there was not a single piece of clothing on the clothesline tied in the yard.
Didn't the second mother say that she had just washed a basin of clothes? What about clothes?
I wanted to ask, but I thought that maybe the second mother had dried those clothes on the second floor, so I didn't ask more.
After taking two more steps forward, the second mother suddenly stopped.
I stopped, turned my head to look at the second mother, and saw the second mother turn her head to look outside, I don't know what she was looking at, her face was full of seriousness.
Seeing that the second mother's face was serious, I was also nervous and asked, "Second mother, what's wrong?" ”
"Oh, that, Xiao Ran......" The second mother turned around, looked at me and said, "I see that you are also tired for a day, you go upstairs to rest first." I'll go see why your second dad hasn't come back yet. ”
"yes, okay." I watched my second mother leave.
The second mother walked a few steps, then turned back to me and asked, "Where is the light, do you know?" ”
"Yes." I have been to my second mother's house more than once, and I am very familiar with the layout of her house.
"That's good. You rest first, wait for me to come back, and make a meal for you. The second mother walked as she spoke, walked to the door, and closed the door with her hand.
The moment the door was closed, I immediately felt that my surroundings were different. But what is the difference, I can't say it, I feel hairy in my heart.
I don't know, this is the first time I've felt hairy in my heart today.
I thought: Maybe I haven't been back to the countryside for too long, and I don't adapt to the countryside where there are no street lights and the residents are not concentrated, so I am always a little afraid.
"Afraid of what? This is my second mother's house. I comforted myself, shook my head, shook off the mess in my mind, and pulled my suitcase to the hall.
Pushing open the door of the hall, a cool breath suddenly came to my face, and I couldn't help but feel that the countryside is cool.
Unlike the city, where there are cement and steel bars everywhere, even if there are green trees, it is very hot.
I found the switch of the hall light, turned on the light, and took a look at the hall of the second mother's house, which was no different from what I remembered.
After looking at it for a while, I went upstairs with my suitcase.
When I came to my sister's room, I opened the door but there was a strong smell of dust.
Strange, didn't the second mother say that she just changed the mat and bed sheets for my sister, and when my sister came back, why did she still have such a big smell of dust?
turned on the light and saw that the bed was indeed covered with a mat, a pillow, and a blanket, which was similar to what the second mother described.
I thought there was dust in the room, probably because there was a lot of dust in the countryside, so I didn't pay much attention to it, pushed the suitcase aside, and went to the bathroom to take a look.
The bathroom is very simple, there is only one shower head, and there is not even a towel to hang on, let alone any washbasins, bath bombs and the like.
However, such a simple bathroom is already very good in the countryside, and my grandmother's house does not have it. My dad said he would give my grandmother a shower, but my grandma wouldn't let me, saying she wouldn't use it.
In fact, she is not used to it, she is used to bathing with water in a basin.
I walked around the room and waited for another five or six minutes, but I didn't see the second mother and them come back.
I walked to the window and looked, and saw that the door downstairs was closed, and I didn't see any light on the road, and I felt that the second mother would not come back for a while and a half, so I thought it would be better to take a shower and change clothes during this time.
After a day's car ride today, and after walking so many roads, my body has already smelled of sweat.
As soon as I thought of it, I opened my suitcase, took out the towels, shower gel, etc., and carried them to the bathroom.
When the warm water touched my injured left calf and both knees, there was a burning pain in those three places, and I remembered my own injuries.
I looked down and checked, and the place where my grandmother brushed my left calf with a broom was no longer red, it just hurt. My knees were scratched a little bit, and I didn't think it was a big problem, so I didn't care about it and let the water hit it.
You can leave the injuries on your body alone, but my grandmother ......
To this day, when I think of what my grandmother said to me, my heart twitches uncomfortably.
If it weren't for the fact that my parents were so kind to me, I really doubt that I was raised, otherwise how could my grandmother treat me like this.
Just as I was thinking about this, I suddenly felt a chill in my calf, as if something was scratching my leg, and I looked down.
That look didn't scare my heart out.
I saw a little ghost who appeared out of nowhere, dressed in ancient costume, only one or two years old, half-lying on the ground, looking up at me with his little head tilted, squinting at me with a pair of clear eyes like amber, and two little hands trying to hold my calves.
But because he was too small, and he was lying on the ground, he couldn't hold it with both hands, so he could only grab it.
"Mother!" When he saw that I had found him, he smiled very cutely, but in my opinion, it was very terrifying.
I never thought that one day I would meet a ghost, and I would meet a ghost called my mother, and I was terrified.
I was stunned for a moment, and then I said, "Ah! With a scream, he kicked the imp away and rushed out the door.
The faucet didn't turn off, and it didn't matter. I didn't wear any clothes, and I didn't care about it, so I ran out wet like that.
"Mother, mother......" The little ghost chased after me and called me mother.
I was scared to death, and I ran faster.
I had just run out of the shower not far when suddenly the door in front of me was opened from the outside with a "click".
Then, the handsome guy who was on the road and almost hit me appeared in front of me.
Hey, how did he end up here?
But I was so nervous and scared at the time that this question only flashed in my mind for a moment, and then it passed, and I didn't think about it.
All that comes to mind is: saved, saved.
He's a lifesaver for me, a blessing for me.
But just when I wanted to shout for help to him, I found that his eyes were slightly downward, staring at my chest, I realized that I was not wearing clothes, and hurriedly covered my chest with both hands, and instinctively turned around and ran back.
But after turning around, I saw a little ghost less than a meter long, staggering towards me, and I regretted it.
There's a little ghost in front and a strange man behind me, what should I do?
I stood there, my mind almost blank, I couldn't think of any ideas, I wanted to cry in a hurry.
Seeing the little ghost getting closer and closer to me, I thought to myself that the man had seen my body anyway, and it was better to die in embarrassment in front of him than to be killed by this little ghost.
As soon as the heart is ruthless and the teeth are bitten, you will turn around.
However, before I could fully turn around, I heard something that made my scalp tingle and terrifying.
"Daddy, I've found my mother!"
