Chapter 13: The Faded Jade Wrench
Shu Nuan can now clearly feel that he is dreaming, but he can't figure out why his dream is so weird.
Dark space, silent.
It's like an enclosed space, a void.
Shu Nuan groped for this advance in the dark, and suddenly found a glimmer of light coming from ahead.
"What's that?"
She walked slowly, and what she saw was a sky full of stars and a silver river in the distance.
The stars in the sky twinkled and twinkled, and the winding rivers on the earth shone as well.
"It feels so familiar......
What she saw in front of her gave her a very intimate feeling.
She stepped forward step by step, her mind was attracted, and the kindness from the bottom of her heart made her completely relaxed.
Although she knew that all this was a dream, such a real dream couldn't help but make her a little distracted.
She searched for the winding river and slowly came to the center.
When she saw the somewhat familiar spring, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"This, this is not ......"
The spring that appeared in front of her eyes, she had been lucky enough to see once, and now that she saw it again, her heart beat faster.
Just as she reached for the spring, about to touch the glittering water, a voice from the outside world made her wake up with a sudden awakening.
"Warm Warm, Warm ......"
Wu Huihong's gentle voice sounded in her ears, and her eyes looked at her worriedly.
Shu Nuan blinked, and his eyes were finally much clearer.
She raised her hand and yawned, her hands propped up and slowly sat up from the bed.
"Grandma, what time is it?"
"It's still early, it's only six o'clock." After Wu Huihong replied like this, she asked with concern: "Nuan Nuan, are you having a nightmare?" I just called you for a while, and you didn't wake up. ”
Shu Nuan thought about the scene in his dream just now, and shook his head slightly: "I didn't have a nightmare. ”
"That's good, that's good." Wu Huihong sighed, and then reached out to tuck the quilt for her. "I'm going to school, so I'm going to cook first. It's still early, you can sleep a little longer. ”
"No, I'll get up too."
The moment Shu Nuan opened his eyes, the sleepy insect had already run away.
"Okay." Wu Huihong answered, and then helped her hand over the clothes that were placed in the corner of the bed. "Need my help?"
"No, I can wear it myself. Grandma, you go and get busy first, I'll come over and help later. ”
Shu Nuan said as she reached out from under the quilt and pressed the meridians on her left foot.
The injury on her leg has been aching faintly, which she can bear, but the pain in the hamstrings is rising and rising, which is a little uncomfortable.
Wu Huihong didn't see the movements under her quilt, so she didn't continue to say anything, but got up and walked out of the room after a simple instruction.
Shu Nuan looked at the person who left and exhaled lightly.
"Get up."
After so many years of habits, once you wake up and want to sleep a little longer, you may not be able to sleep.
But just as she reached for her coat, a small object fell directly from her pocket to the quilt.
"Huh?"
She glanced at her suspiciously, put her coat on the pillow, and then reached for something that had fallen off the quilt.
"Strange, how did it fade?"
The object she was holding in her hand now was the cracked jade wrench.
However, the wrench, which was supposed to be light blue, now faded from blue and turned white, as if someone had removed that touch of blue.
Shu Nuan has no research on jade, but he also knows that there is no blue in the jade.
At one time, she also doubted whether the material of the jade wrench in her hand was jade, but because this was a thought left to her by her grandfather, she did not delve into the authenticity of this thing.
And now, after this jade wrench faded blue, it was very similar to the mutton fat white jade she had seen in her memory, and there was a warm feeling when pinched in her hand.
"There are quirky ......"
Shu Nuan was a little confused about the current situation.
"Nuan Nuan, have you gotten up?"
After Wu Huihong put the rice in the pot, she went back to the house to see the people in the house.
After hearing her grandmother's voice, Shu Nuan subconsciously pinched the wrench spread out in her palm tightly, and then hid it under the quilt.
She didn't know why she was doing this, but she subconsciously felt that it was best not to let the other party see the change in the wrench.
"Let's get up."
After Shu Nuan responded, Wu Huihong cared a few more words and continued to cook.
Shu Nuan looked at the person who turned to leave again, closed his eyes fiercely, and got up and dressed quickly.
The winter morning was very cold, and it was still early, so the sun had not yet appeared, and it was dark.
She walked out of the room on crutches and couldn't help but look up at the courtyard.
It was about half past six in the morning, and like my family, there were other villagers in the village who were getting up one after another.
Listening to the crowing of roosters from other homes, she took a long breath and slowly walked towards the kitchen.
At the moment, firewood is burning in the earthen stove in the kitchen, which makes the temperature in the kitchen much warmer than outside. The porridge in the iron pot was bubbling, and the smell of fragrant rice porridge slowly entered the tip of her nose.
Wu Huihong noticed her arrival, hurriedly got up and walked over, and helped her up.
"Nuan Nuan, the hot water is boiled for you, let's wash your face first."
"Hmm."
When Shu Nuan replied and walked towards the washstand, Wu Huihong had already adjusted the hot water with her hands and feet and put the washcloth away.
"Grandma, I'll just come by myself."
Shu Nuan smiled, and then began to wash.
After finishing her business, she turned and walked to the next room, ready to wake up her younger brother, who was still sleeping.
"Squeak......
The old wooden door of the room was gently pushed by her, and the sound was especially noticeable in this quiet environment.
Shu Nuan walked into the door step by step, and the room was pitch black.
She came to the bedside and reached for the light. At home, the current light switches are all pull wires, and there is only one, which is usually installed next to the bed.
After a click, a faint light came on, illuminating everything in the room.
A small room full of miscellaneous items on one side and a cabinet and bed on the other.
The person sleeping on the bed did not move, but the big cat Ah Huang who was sleeping next to the pillow ran towards her after opening his eyes and looking at her, after stretching his front paws and stretching his waist.
"Meow Meow Meow ......"
Shu Nuan looked at Ah Huang who ran in front of him, knowing that the other party was hungry.
She reached out and rubbed the cat's head: "I left you food last night and didn't eat it, is it more fragrant for other people's food." ”
The big cat Ah Huang took the initiative to rub her palm, and a gurgling sound came out of her throat.
