Chapter 7 A Visitor from the End of the World

Dr. Mao was drunk, feeling like he was lying on a wooden bed, the sun was shining outside the window, and the birds were singing. The clock on the table not far away showed the time at eight o'clock, and the room was full of modern atmosphere: electric lights, telephones, colorful New Year's pictures on the walls, a TV set was playing a TV series at this time, and a bald child was holding the TV screen, and was about to touch the plug at one end of the TV, the doctor couldn't help but be shocked:

"Danger, don't move!"

"Grandpa Mao! Grandpa Mao, you're awake! ”

"Xiao Qin Yi, why are you here? Where is this? ”

"It's outside the mountains. The uncle of the house said that he would go out and be back soon. As soon as Xiao Qin Yi spoke, his little head was also closed one by one, looking very cute.

"Grandpa Mao, will you take me to my father? Grandpa said that only you can find my father, don't you? ”

The doctor was shocked again, what is going on, could it be that he has returned to his own world? Xiao Qin Yi is actually with him now, so what did he promise to the people of Qin Village? Xiao Qin Yi wanted to help him find his parents by himself. I don't even know who his father and mother are, how can I find it, can I solve the doom of the Qin clan if I find it?

"Little Qin Yi, who told you that I was your Grandpa Mao."

"Grandpa Mao, I kowtowed to you on the high platform, did you forget?"

It turned out that it was not a dream, looking at Xiao Qin Yi's eyes blinking, in this world, he had no relatives except himself, the doctor stroked the child's little head, and suddenly found that the pendant hanging around his neck was very familiar: a strange black stone. This stone Dr. Mao knew that it was the personal ornament of the Great Elder, and he thought that this was a symbol of the head of the Qin family. Now it seems that there is something else.

"Okay, you will call me grandpa in the future, and I will call you Xiaoyi, okay?"

"Okay."

"Then grandpa asked you, what is the purpose of the stone hanging on your neck, can you tell grandpa?"

"Well, grandpa said that you can only tell grandpa that you are alone, and he said that this stone can help me find my way home."

The way home? The doctor couldn't figure out what that meant. Looking at this lovely child in front of him, what to do in the future, I really didn't know what to do for a while. No matter what you say and do, you have to give an explanation to the people of Qincun, since Xiao Qinyi followed him to this world, then he should be the only trust that the people of Qincun have entrusted to him, and he will definitely treat him as his own grandson, but how to explain it to his wife Yingzi? These days, thirteen days, what should I say?

"Did Grandpa say that you should listen to Grandpa Mao?"

"Well, the eldest grandfather, the sixth grandfather, and the thirteenth grandfather, they all told me that they had to listen to Grandpa Mao outside. By the way, Uncle Sixteen also asked me to give this to you. ”

The little one said as he unbuttoned his clothes and took out a cloth bag from inside. The doctor opened it, it is a cloth nearly one meter square, which is painted with the front and back of the human body, take a closer look, it is actually marked with the names of the acupoints of various parts of the human body, and it can be seen from the dense text on the side that this is a secret book dedicated to explaining acupoints and acupoints and massage massage. Sixteen babies? How can you still do this kind of work, what does it mean to hand over this cloth to me?

Dr. Mao didn't have time to think about it, because he suddenly heard some mockery outside the house, and as he got closer and closer, there seemed to be a voice that seemed familiar, and it was obviously from here.

A group of people came into the house, and it was Tingzhi who walked first.

"Dad, it's really you, they said to find an old man and a child, I wasn't sure it was Dad at first. Where have you been in the past fourteen days, but your mother is in a hurry. By the way, what's going on with this kid? ”

"Hehe, Tingzhi, Dad is fine, you must not believe it, Dad fell off the cliff that night and got stuck on a pine fork, and he didn't have any injuries on his body, but his head was a little dazed, and he lay on the ground for a long time, fortunately I met this little Qin Yi, and he saved me. For more than ten days, he has been with his father. I'm afraid you'll be worried, so you'll walk along this mountain as soon as your body recovers. By the way, how many days did you just say? ”

"Fourteen days, Dad, you've been missing for fourteen days."

"Fourteen days? Isn't it thirteen days? "Dr. Mao is a little strange, isn't it just thirteen days today, these thirteen days are counting the days by himself, how can there be a mistake?

"It's fourteen days, Dad, the day we went to Jiguanling was the thirteenth of July, and we rested there for one night, counting from the fourteenth to the twenty-seventh today, a full fourteen days."

"I didn't expect that I would be missing for so many days." Dr. Mao couldn't figure it out, and he didn't think about it anymore, "Oh, by the way, this kid's name is Qin Yi, he said that his parents got separated when they took him out on a trip, and he was alone, I think we should take him home first, and then help find his parents later." ”

"Well, I think it's not like this, Dad, you go back first, Mom is about to fall ill at home, and the children's affairs should be communicated with the local government first," Mao Tingzhi pointed to a middle-aged man who looked like a village cadre next to him and said, "This is the mayor of this town, let the children be handed over to them first." ”

"Yes, Doctor, it is a local dereliction of duty for the child to go missing here, and we will definitely try to help him find his parents, Doctor, you can rest assured." Mayor Wang said as he spoke

"No, I'm not leaving, I'm only with Grandpa Mao." When Xiao Qinyi heard that he was going to go with someone else, he grabbed Dr. Mao's hand.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, grandpa is with you." Dr. Mao said in a depressed voice, "Look at you, I scared the children, thanks to him saving my life, I want to take him in for a few days, don't you agree with this?" ”

"No, Dad. That was not what I meant. ”

The doctor put his arms around Xiao Qin Yi, but his forehead was still wrinkled.

Mayor Wang on the side thought about it and hurriedly said:

"I'm also afraid of increasing your trouble, doctor, since you are always willing to take in this child, I think it's okay, then let's immediately contact the local news media to spread the child's information, as soon as there is news, I will contact you, doctor, do you think this is feasible?"

"Medium!"

The afterglow of the sun shines through the clouds on Qixia Mountain, the verdant camphor forest is suddenly covered with a layer of gold, the high-rise buildings under the mountain are hidden in it, the color light floats, it is really good like the pearl on the green carpet, people and nature together, harmonious blending, quiet and chic. The famous institution of higher learning, Jinghua University, is located here.

Dr. Mao has been teaching at Beijing University for nearly 20 years, and his family lives together on the third floor of the second building of the teacher's dormitory building, with two bedrooms and one living room, although the area is less than 80 square meters, but he has never been willing to move: first, to facilitate academic exchanges and scientific research discussions; Second, the campus environment is quiet and the air quality is good; Third, of course, the school takes care of a meritorious professor like Dr. Mao, and the water and electricity bills are slightly subsidized, which is not a small expense for Dr. Mao, who is not well-off in life (Dr. Mao's economic expenses are generally spent on scientific equipment and experimental research, and many of them are not reimbursed by the school for personal hobbies). Now that Xiao Qin Yi has joined, it is even more crowded, and the doctor has tried his best to separate a small space in the living room, put a bed and a small desk, and the space is enough, and Xiao Qin Yi finally has his own world. It's just that the newly met younger brother Little Rabbit always loves to seize this territory, but fortunately, Little Red Riding Hood, who is a little older than Little Rabbit, is much more sensible, Little Rabbit, he doesn't even listen to his parents, but he listens to his sister the most. The family plus a little Qin Yi got together, and it was even more lively.

The dinner was particularly sumptuous, braised carp, sweet and sour pork ribs, beef in sauce, mushroom egg soup, as well as a plate of shredded potatoes and a plate of cabbage, plus the gold medal cooking skills of daughter-in-law Lin Xiaolan, I really have nothing to say.

"Kai Fan Luo!"

Tingzhi still couldn't get rid of the old problem, and before the meal was served, he picked up a piece of beef with his hand, and his mother glanced at him and said:

"I went to help Xiaolan serve food, and the children were ruined."

"Hehe, Dad, the school said that you should rest at home for two days, and you don't have to rush to work."

"Yes, what have you eaten in the past thirteen days, and you have all been as thin as electric poles." The wife felt sorry for the doctor, and kept putting vegetables in their bowls while saying that they should eat slowly.

"Old man, slow down, Xiaoyi, don't choke."

"Is it so exaggerated, isn't it, to be honest, what I want to eat most these days is the dumplings at home, rolling dough, cutting meat, making dumplings, making dumplings, that taste is especially authentic in the mouth."

"Look at you, Xiaolan, this dish is not to your liking, if you want to eat dumplings, you can eat dumplings every day."

"Where, Xiaolan, don't mind, I didn't mean that, seriously, your skills are comparable to those of hotel chefs, color, fragrance, taste, quack, nothing to say."

"Dad, don't make fun of me, as long as it's not worse than dumplings." Xiaolan and Tingzhi are second marriages, five years ago, Ting's ex-wife gave birth to Little Red Riding Hood in a car accident less than a year, and the next year I met Xiaolan, a middle school teacher, and gave birth to a son "Little Rabbit". So Xiaolan said "no worse than dumplings" There is another meaning in this statement.

"Oh, of course, this dish is delicious, it can't be compared, it can't be compared. Hehe! ”

The son on the side came back and quickly opened the topic:

"Oh, by the way, Dad, Uncle Jin originally wanted to come over today, but Aunt Jin has made her old problem of heartache again, and it is estimated that it will take two days to come."

"No wonder I haven't seen him today, well, you go to your Uncle Jin's house tomorrow, Aunt Jin is sick, you go and see if there is anything you need to help, be diligent with your hands and feet, ah!"

"Old man, what kind of illness does this brother and sister have, why haven't you seen it well in the past few years?"

"There is something wrong with the heart, hey, it really hurts them, his Uncle Jin has been following me to do scientific research all these years, and I am also responsible for this brother and sister's illness."

Xiaolan saw that the faces of the two old men were wrong, and she hurriedly said:

"Dad, you don't know, Mom was still talking about you in the kitchen just now."

"Say me? Oh, what bad things to say about me, Yingzi, you confess honestly. ”

Dr. Mao usually calls his wife an old woman in front of people, and this "Yingzi" is only called that when the two of them are so. Now the old man calls himself this in front of the whole family, and his wife is a little embarrassed:

"What to explain or not to explain, what I said is not wrong at all, in the past, others were Sai Weng lost their horses, and today I lost 'Sai Wen', I don't know if it is a blessing, old man, you have made me have a little grandson. Haha, am I wrong? ”

"That's right, that's right! What Wu Zetian said, can there be a mistake? ”

"Old man, to be honest, Xiao Yi is six years old, one year older than Little Red Riding Hood, shouldn't he be sent to school."

"Send to school? Dad, if this child's parents find it, will it be said that we are abducting people? Tingzhi said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Seriously, this kid doesn't even know what his parents look like, thanks to him being by my side these days, since God destined him to have a relationship with our Mao family, then treat him as a part of our family, and if he remembers his relatives in the future, we won't stop him. Remember! ”

"Oh! Xiaoyi! Xiaoyi, eat slowly."

This reunion dinner was so delicious. Xiao Qin Yi was a little recognizable, and didn't say a word, but the little belly was not polite at all, and he ate a lot, if it weren't for Grandma Mao's fear that the child would not let him add food, I'm afraid the little guy wouldn't even be able to stand up
