Chapter 77: The Confusion of Eternal Life (22)

The vest in autumn is a stitch and stitch fabric for grandpa, although grandpa wears reading glasses, but it is still a little difficult to thread the needle. The sewing hands are covered with deep calluses, but the vest is neatly made, and it is not inferior to the products sold in the store.

The warm pillow in winter was cut and sewn by my grandfather. It is wrapped in a thick layer of wool, and the pillow is warm and comfortable, and it also smells of grass. Every time the snow lies on this warm pillow, she will unconsciously dream of the green grassland, and the white sheep running on the grassland will run towards the end of the sun without knowing the destination.

The rabbit hutch in spring is a new nest built by grandpa. Grandpa was afraid that it would not be enough for the snow to be accompanied by squirrels, so he caught two white rabbits, put the white rabbits in the rabbit house, sprinkled a handful of green vegetables and tender grass, and raised the white rabbits to be white and fat.

Every time Snow sees the white rabbit's shaking nose and pink little tongue, she will show a happy expression, take the white rabbit out of the rabbit house, touch its snow-white and warm fur, and can't help but stick her face on it.

The lake in the forest is the joy of grandpa's summer and snow. Grandpa knew that the snow was still sad, and he also knew that whenever the moon was full, the snow would hide alone and cry silently. Grandpa can't replace Xue's parents, the only thing he can do is to make Xuexue as happy as possible.

Therefore, he would often bury some knick-knacks for the snow in the dirt beside the lake, and let the snow dig there as if it were a treasure trove, while he would smile and fish there with a fishing rod, and from time to time he would peek at the snow and watch her wipe her forehead with her mud-stained hands.

Grandpa used to say, "Life is a little loach, and the more you deliberately try to catch it, the more you can't catch it." ”

Grandpa also often said, "People are precious in being at peace with what happens, let life be peaceful, and you will become calm." ”

At that time, Xue didn't understand the truth in his grandfather's mouth, so he just pretended to nod his head as if he didn't understand, and then completely left it out of his mind. But the grandfather smiled and touched her head, and continued to look at the calm lake, hanging his big fish that would never be lifted.

Xue had thought that this simple day of her and her grandfather would continue day after day, year after year, forever and ever. But I never thought that this peaceful day would also be broken one day, and this day came so quickly, only in an instant.

That day, Xue took the vinegar bottle from his grandfather's hand as usual, waved his hand casually and left.

When she returned to the cabin with the vinegar bottle, she saw the door open.

A man and a woman standing in the room looked evilly at Snow's face, and under their feet lay Grandpa, who was lying in a pool of blood.

Snow rushed out and ran desperately in the direction of his grandfather.

A middle-aged man with a scar on the left side of his face rushed over out of nowhere, he blocked in front of Xue, and yelled at Xue with stern and fierce eyes, "Do you want to die? If you don't want to, get out of the way! ”

Just as the man was speaking, the man inside suddenly flicked a long hook, ripped off a row of walls, and threw it in the direction of the middle-aged man.

Snow took two steps back in fear, cried and turned and fled. The sound of weapons clashing and houses collapsing was heard in her ears, and she covered her ears hard, not caring about the life or death of the middle-aged man, and just ran towards the ramp vigorously.

She ran as hard as she could, ran as hard as she could, and even if she was exhausted, she didn't dare to stop what she was doing. She was afraid that she would never be able to stand up again, and she could only be brutally killed by those bad people and lose her life in vain.

The rain began to fall at some point, and she finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell tremblingly down a dirty alley. The running rats didn't even look at her, and the sewage soaked her pink skirt, turning her from a doll into an annoying dirty puppet.

And so she was drenched in the rain all night. When she finally regained some strength, she went hungry to a bakery and asked the owner for something to eat.

The shopkeeper happened to come out, and before she could say anything, she saw the shopkeeper summoning the wild cats with some bread and feeding them with a smile on his face.

"Uncle, can you give me bread too? I'm so hungry. ”

"Bread? No no. Bread is to be bought with money, do you have the money? The shopkeeper gestured for money.

"I don't have the money, but I really ......"

Before Xue could say any more, the shopkeeper showed an impatient expression and waved her away.

"There are too many beggars. If I want everyone to give alms, then I can't open this store? Hurry up, hurry up, don't affect my business! ”

"But these cats, they also have bread to eat......"

"Cats?" The shopkeeper laughed, "How can you compare to a cat?" I give alms to cats, it can also wag its tail for me, make me happy, I give it to you, it is directly lost! ”

The shopkeeper got up and pushed the snow aside. For the first time, Snow felt sad from the bottom of her heart, it turned out that she was a living person, but she was not as good as a cat that could wag its tail. At this time, she missed her parents and her grandfather who loved her the most, but they were no longer there, no matter where she looked for them, she couldn't find them.

The garbage can on the side of the street became her only hope for preserved fruit, and although the smell inside was disgusting, she still had to wipe her tears while rummaging through the food.

The half-bitten apple was a delicacy she could find. She secretly hid in the alley and ate it, fearing that the other beggars would find out and snatch it.

At night, she can only sleep on the streets, and the empty garbage cans are her best haven. But sometimes her luck is also very bad, even a garbage can is taken by other beggars, and she is beaten and bullied by them because of food and land problems.

During that time, she only felt boundless despair and darkness, and the starless night was her truest heart. She especially missed the night when her grandfather was full of stars and carried her, but that night was no longer there, and the relatives she missed could only wander in her dreams.

Over time, she got sick, and that was something more torturous than depression. She seemed to have lost the ability to speak, her whole body became boneless, and her body also started a high fever, but she did not cry or make trouble, but just sat there in a daze, until the figure happened to pass by.

I still remember that it was a rainy night, and the pedestrians hurriedly shuttled and walked forward without looking back. But there was one person who was a little different from them, and he set his eyes on Xue's body, and walked slowly towards her with an umbrella.
