Chapter 1: The Abandoned Son in the Mountains
In a large mountain with lush trees, an old man was walking slowly, still humming a little song in his mouth.
In the hands of the old man, he carried a red plastic bag, which contained a lot of paper money, incense and candles and tributes for going to the grave, and it seemed that he was going to go into the mountain to worship someone.
"Hey, the climate of this mountain is really impermanent, how can I say that this is also summer, but there is still some coolness in this mountain, Nima knew that he wouldn't wear so little, isn't it okay to toss and play with himself, my old bones."
The old man's tone seemed to be very naughty, and then look at the old man's outfit, a loose short sleeve, big flower pants, and most importantly, he was wearing a pair of flip-flops on his feet! On such a rugged mountain road, it is estimated that he is the only one who dares to run in wearing slippers.
Although the old man's dress is a little weird, and he looks very old, he walks extremely fast in the mountains, and it seems that the mountain road does not have any impact on him.
But just as the old man was leisurely walking on the mountain road, he suddenly found that not far from him, there was an inexplicable child who seemed to be two or three years old sitting on the ground with his back to him, his head and arms still moving, not knowing what he was doing.
"It's strange, in this barren mountains and mountains, how can there be a little doll sitting here, can't it be a ghost in this broad day!!light?"
The old man was shocked at first, but patted his forehead helplessly.
"People really don't accept the old man, see your sister's ghost, Lao Tzu still sees fewer ghosts!"
But why there is a child sitting here, the old man can't understand, if it is said that the possibility of the child running into the mountains to play by himself is almost none, there is no human population in a radius of several kilometers around here, if it were not for the tomb of his relatives was placed in this big mountain by him, it is estimated that there may not be a person in a few years.
Driven by curiosity, the old man walked towards the child, but the closer he got to the child's position, the more surprised the old man became.
Judging by the degree of tattered clothes on the child's body, the old man was sure that the child was definitely not a matter of staying in the mountains for a day or two, at least a month, or even longer.
However, a child can stay in this mountain for so long, he will not believe it if he is killed, and he may be thrown here directly, and it will be nonsense for a month.
The old man hurriedly walked a few quick steps towards the child, but the sound of his footsteps caught the child's attention.
I saw the child turn around and look at the old man, and the old man stood in place for a moment, because at this time the corner of the child's mouth was full of blood, and he was still holding a wild dog's leg in his hand!
Looking in front of the child in surprise, the old man found the corpse of a wild dog, the wild dog's stomach had already been cut open, but there was not a lot of blood on the ground, as if it had been drunk by something.
Looking at the appearance of the child, looking at the carcass of wild dogs on the ground, the old man could not guess what was happening, no matter how stupid he was.
For a while, the old man put away his hooligan temperament, as if he had changed into a different person, and looked extremely serious.
At this time, the old man suddenly noticed other abnormalities near the child, and there was even a hint of jealousy in his eyes, but it was only a flash, and the old man immediately returned to normal.
The child was visibly startled at the sight of the old man, and he clutched the food in his hand in fear, and turned around as if instinctively trying to escape.
At this time, the old man was even more surprised by the scene that the child who wanted to run away did not get up from the spot, but kept crawling on the ground like a baby, as if he could not walk at all.
It seems that because he is very frightened of the old man in his heart, the child is very flustered when he crawls, he just wants to escape in the direction that he can get away from the old man as soon as possible, and he doesn't care at all, the road in front of him is full of stones!
Soon the child's hands and knees were worn out in the process of crawling, and there were even blood stains on the way.
Seeing this, the old man hurriedly ran towards the child, and looking at the child like this, he couldn't bear to look at it.
The child listened to the sound of the old man chasing, but climbed faster, and his little face was full of horror.
However, how could his speed be faster than the old man, but just when the old man was about to catch up with the child, the child uncharacteristically stopped and turned around, and looked at the old man viciously, as if he wanted to fight with the old man when he knew that he couldn't escape.
Seeing this, the old man hurriedly stopped and hurriedly said to the child.
"Little friend, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, really, do you think grandpa looks like someone who hurt you?"
Although I don't know if such a big child can understand what he can say, what can the old man do, but the child doesn't buy it at all, and still wants to fight with the old man.
"Why is this kid so fierce, is it the first time we met?"
The old man was a little confused for a while, but suddenly, the old man seemed to think of something, and took out a chicken leg directly from the tribute he had brought.
At this time, I don't pay attention to anything, I must be able to get close to this child first.
The child was frightened when he saw the old man pulling out something, but when he suddenly smelled a fragrance, his eyes showed a strange look.
A child is still a child after all, especially after staying in the mountains for so long, he must not be able to resist the temptation of food.
"Good baby, grandpa has something delicious."
While holding the chicken leg, he slowly walked towards the child, although the child still seemed to resist, but he was defeated by the chicken leg in the end.
At this moment, the child was holding the chicken leg and eating wildly, and even the old man took out the rest of the tribute and gave it to him, while he sat next to him and muttered to himself.
"Hey, it's really hard for this child, I really don't know how ruthless his parents are, they would abandon him in the mountains, they just want to kill his rhythm but don't want to do it themselves, is it because this child is special?"
At this time, the previous jealousy color appeared in the old man's eyes again, but more of it was anger.
The old man was heartbroken by what had happened to the child, but strangely enough, the old man seemed to be not curious at all about why the child had been able to survive in the mountains for so long, or even why he could only crawl and catch wild dogs, as if he knew exactly why.
But he also sweated for this child, even if this child is special, if he didn't meet himself today, he can live in the mountains for ten days, half a month, or even a month, then can he still live for three months, ten months?
If the time comes when the snow covers the mountain, I am afraid that this child has only one fate, which is to die.
……
(There is no need to wonder why two- and three-year-old children do not die in the mountains, this is one of the biggest pitfalls in this article, and the reason will slowly appear later.) )
