"If you're afraid, why do you want to come?"

Ruan Zhenhua was crooked on the ground, panting and looking at Ye Zhenzhen.

If he was not mistaken, it was not the first time he had seen an emotion in the eyes of this little girl.

The people of this village were either full of resentment towards him or indifferent to him, and some timid and kind little girls also looked at him with sympathetic eyes.

But no one is like this girl, and there is distress in her eyes.

He's just a bad old man, a bad old man who is unkempt and hated, and he doesn't know her, how can she be distressed?

Ye Zhenzhen met Ruan Zhenhua's inquiring eyes, and understood that her repeated approach had confused Ruan Zhenhua.

She is because she feels sorry for Ye Chunhua in her previous life through him!

But this truth is naturally unspeakable, Ye Zhenzhen pursed her lips, and then the corners of her lips curved slightly.

"Don't hide it from uncle, my father once had a very good friend, and he was ...... because of some things in the first half of the year He was reported to be reactionary, and he was also sent to the countryside for reform. ”

When Ruan Zhenhua heard this, he opened his mouth but was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head again.

"So you're always helping me, actually trying to help your uncle?"

"Well, we don't know where he was sent to, and there's nothing we can do to help him. When I see your old man, I can't help but think of him, I will help you, maybe in the place where he is decentralized, there are people like me, help him. ”

"......" Ruan Zhenhua pulled the corners of his mouth weakly, help him? This stupid girl, I'm afraid she's too naïve.

In this world, there are so many fools like her.

"Okay, you can help me, help me to the bed and rest for a while, and then you can go back."

Ye Zhenzhen nodded, helped the person back to the bed, and when she covered the quilt for him, Ye Zhenzhen realized what was going on with the wetness in his mouth?

"Uncle, the roof of your bed is also leaking, and the quilt is soaked, you ...... How do you sleep on this? ”

Ruan Zhenhua waved his hand disappreciatively, "It's okay, it's okay when the weather is fine......"

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Zhenzhen handed the small bag she had brought over to him and opened it.

"These are the cakes I made, and they're a little broken, but you can eat them, so you can eat some first."

After speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and moved a relatively strong square stool first, put it on the bed, and stood on the stool, gently tapping the tiles against the faintly visible white points of light.

Seeing this, Ruan Zhenhua couldn't stop her, so she had to endure the pain all over her body, sit up, and hold the stool steady for her with both hands, a heart hanging in her throat, really afraid that she would fall.

Seeing her percussion so gently, but the white trachoma slowly disappeared, Ruan Zhenhua couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

He has a roof that an old man who has lived for more than fifty years and will not repair, and she, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, is actually ......

"Uncle, look, isn't this place good?"

Ruan Zhenhua nodded hurriedly, "It's okay, you hurry down, it's too dangerous." ”

Ye Zhenzhen really bent down and slowly got off the stool, but she didn't stop, she moved her position and stood up again......

"Uncle, it's too late today, I'll help you fix the rain leak next to the bed first, and when it's more convenient later, I'll help you fix it elsewhere."

"Hey, what are you going to do with that effort? Anyway, I won't live long, so you should work hard in the future. You're still young and you don't have a stain on you, so why take this risk just to help me a bad old man. ”

Ruan Zhenhua's words, Ye Zhenzhen never listened.

Seeing him chattering, Ye Zhenzhen simply shut up and didn't speak, and silently filled the holes on the top of the bed and some of the lower beams around him.

Then he brought in firewood and made a fire at the door of the dilapidated stove.

"It's getting dark, what else are you going to do?"

Seeing Ye Zhenzhen's busy appearance, Ruan Zhenhua couldn't help but feel anxious for her.

Ye Zhenzhen lit a fire, ran outside and picked up a long stick to enter the door, put one end on the stove and the other end on the leaky wall, and moved the mattress and quilt on Ruan Zhenhua's body to dry on it and roast it with fire.

"Uncle, can you still walk? It's too cold in bed, you sit here and make a fire, warm up, right? ”

Ruan Zhenhua wanted to refuse, but he really couldn't bear to refuse Ye Zhenzhen's kindness.

In this way, the two of them sat side by side at the door of the stove, and Ye Zhenzhen's hands were still turning the bedding that was baking from time to time.

"Uncle Ruan, I heard that you were sent here in six or nine years, what did you do at that time?"

In six or nine years, those were the first batch of people to be defeated, and they were not simple characters.

When Ruan Zhenhua heard this, he shook his head with a wry smile, "I'm a businessman, and my family is in the medicinal herb business. ”

Merchant?

How did they become stubborn rightists?

Ye Zhenzhen was confused and asked Ruan Zhenhua.

Ruan Zhenhua snorted, "In these years, no matter how you are, some people can't get used to you, not to mention that I offended people a lot for business at that time." Hey, it's all over anyway, my family has long been ruined, my wife has been separated, and it's no fun to talk about it. ”

Listening to Ruan Zhenhua's meaning, there was a momentum of discouragement.

If this continues, there is no desire to survive, and the body has already been exhausted, and it will not be long before the oil runs out......

Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but feel a thrill all over her body when she thought about it.

"Uncle, when you left home, the family was gone?"

"Nope."

"So how can you be sure they're gone now? Uncle, you can't despair like that, just in case...... What if your aunt is still waiting for you to go back at home? What if your children are looking for you all over the world? ”

Ruan Zhenhua pursed his lips and looked up at the distant sky.

He hadn't thought about this, but after so many years, he hadn't received a single message about them, and if they were still there, if they were looking for him, it would be impossible not to have any news at all.

Thinking about it, he shook his head with a wry smile and said nothing.

Only a pair of eyes, despair and resignation, flickering alternately.

Ye Zhenzhen, who was watching, couldn't help but be anxious for him.

"Uncle, you can't just admit it like this. If there is no news, it doesn't mean that no one is looking for you, you also know that when you are decentralized, they don't know where you are going, the world is so big, how difficult it is to find someone? ”

"Uncle, I know that such a life is indeed very hard and tormenting. But think about it for your family, if they are still there, if they are still looking for you, but when they find you, you are gone, how cruel it will be to them. ”

Besides, this upheaval will not necessarily last forever. Maybe, maybe one day, this ridiculous revolution will be over, and maybe you will be able to go home again. ”
