So, when she had time, she fled into the woods. One afternoon, she was watching the clear spring gushing out, and while watching and thinking about things, Li Guangfu strode over.

"I've got you a key, hostess!" With that, he saluted and handed over the key.

Huang Siyao was taken aback and hurriedly thanked her.

"The hut is not very tidy, please bear with me," he said, "and I did my best to clean it." ”

"I didn't want to trouble you!" Huang Siyao said.

"Oh, it's not a hassle at all. I'm supposed to arrange for hens to hold their nests next week, but they won't be scared when they see you. I'll have to look after them morning and night, but I'll try not to disturb you. ”

"You won't bother me," she said, "and if I get in your way, I'd better not go to the hut." ”

He looked at her with keen eyes, amiable but as if he were about to leave. But at least he was sane, sane and healthy, even though he looked thin and seemed sick. He's coughing.

"You're coughing!" She said.

"It's nothing, it's just a cold! The last time I had pneumonia, I had a cough, but it wasn't a big deal. ”

He kept his distance from her, refusing to come any closer.

She began to go to the hut frequently, sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon, but never ran into him. There was no doubt that he was deliberately avoiding her. He wants to protect his own independent space.

He put the hut in order, set the little tables and chairs on the side, prepared a pile of firewood and small chopped wood, and put the tools and traps as far away as possible, in order to hide his traces.

In the open space outside the house, he set up a small shed for the hens out of twigs and thatch, in which five chicken coops were placed.

One day, when Huang Siyao came, she found two brown hens lying alertly in the cage, revealing their fierce faces. They are hatching their eggs, proudly shaking off their feathers and indulging in the hot blood of their motherhood. This scene almost broke Huang Siyao's heart. She herself was so lonely, so insignificant, not a woman at all, but an object to fear.

Later, all five cages had hens, three brown, one gray, and one black, all tightly guarding the eggs under them, and their feathers fluttered, and their maternal desires and natural motherhood made them indulge in the tenderness and sweetness of the nest. But once Huang Siyao squatted down in front of them, they would glare angrily and give out angry alarms, mainly out of maternal self-defense instinct.

Huang Siyao found some grains in the bucket of grain in the house, put them in the palm of his hand and gave them to the hens to eat. They didn't eat it, only a hen pecked at her hand, which startled Huang Siyao. She really wanted to feed them, but the mothers who were holding the nest wouldn't eat or drink. She brought them water in a small can, and she was very happy that one of them actually drank it.

Now she comes to visit these hens every day, and she feels that these hens are the only ones in the world who can warm her heart. Zhang Haifei's opposition made her cold from head to toe. Hirota, as well as the voices of the businessmen from the house, also sent chills to her heart. Du Wancheng occasionally sent a WeChat message, but reading his letter also made her feel chills in her heart. She felt that if this continued, she would definitely die.

But when spring came, the flowers bloomed in the forest, and the trees sprouted and bloomed, looking just like green raindrops. It's terrible, it's spring, and everything is still so chilling, chilling.

Only these hens are so beautifully spread out their feathers and lie on the eggs. Their bodies are warm, the warm body of the mother when they hatch! This scene made Huang Siyao feel that she would faint at any time.

Then a sunny day, primroses bloomed under the trees, and wildflowers dotted the paths. When she arrives in the afternoon, she finds a chick jumping mischievously in front of the coop, and the mother chicken is "clucking" in fear. The petite chick was grayish-brown with dark spots. For a while, Huang Siyao felt that it was the cutest little thing in China, and teased her to squat down and look at it unwillingly. Life! Life! Pure, energetic, fearless new life! New Life! So petite, yet so fearless! Even when it heard the mother chicken's loud alarm and hurriedly got into the cage and hid under the mother's wings, it was not frightened, but just regarded it as a game and a game. In a short time, a small pointed head emerged from under the mother's yellow-brown feathers to observe the world.

Huang Siyao fascinated the little chick. At the same time, she felt a pain that she had never felt before, a sorrow from her own motherhood, which was unbearable.

Now she had only one desire, and that was to go to the glade, and the rest became a painful dream. But sometimes she was forced to stay in the bungalow all day and do her duty as a housewife. Staying at home made her feel empty and empty.

~~~~~

One evening, she didn't care if there were any guests at home, and slipped out after a refreshment. It was getting late, and she trotted through the woods, as if she were afraid to be called back. When she arrived in the woods, the sun was setting in the west, and the sky was rosy in the west, but she still quickened her pace among the flowers and hurried the way, and the daylight could last for a long time.

When she came to the glade, she was red-faced and groggy. Lee Kwang-suke hadn't left yet, he was wearing a shirt and was busy closing the cage door so that the chicks could spend the night safely. But there were still three chicks running around on tiptoe under the straw hut, and these alert yellow-brown little things would not return to their cages no matter how anxiously their mothers greeted them.

"I've got to come and see these chicks!" She gasped as she glanced shyly at the guard, as if unaware of his presence, "Is there a new one?" ”

"Thirty-six by now!" He said, "That's good! ”

He also watched with a wonderful sense of joy as new life came.

Huang Siyao squatted in front of the last cage. The three chicks have run back into their cages. Their playful little heads were still poking out of their yellow feathers and retracting, and at last only a small round head emerged from under the mother chicken's wide body to watch.

"I really want to touch them!" As she spoke, her fingers cautiously slipped through the crack in the cage railing, but the hen pecked her hand so hard that she quickly retracted her hand.

"It actually pecked me! It's hating me! "But I won't hurt them!" she said. ”

The man smiled, crouched down beside her, knees apart, and confidently slowly reached into the cage. The old hen pecked him, but not ruthlessly. Gently, slowly, and precisely, he groped his fingers through the hen's feathers, and pulled out a chick, which was still looking around in his hand.

"Give!" He reached over to her. She took the little tawny thing and held it in her hand. The little chick stood on the palm of her hand, her two little legs as thin as matchsticks, and the almost weightless little feet trembled in Huang Siyao's palm, making her feel that the chick was relying on its weak vitality to maintain the balance of her body. But it still boldly raised its beautiful, well-defined head, looked around alertly, and made a faint chirping sound.

"It's so cute! How brave! She said softly.

Li Guangfu, who was squatting on the side, also looked at the chick in her hand with great interest. Suddenly, he noticed a tear dropping on her wrist......
