In the following days, I stayed at Liu San'er's house to recuperate.

In the small talk with him, I also knew that this place is called Jixiang Village, a small fishing village, just out of the west of Yangzhou City more than ten miles, although it is located in a remote area, living in poverty, the folk customs are very simple, like Liu San'er such a simple and enthusiastic person can be seen everywhere, even for me such a strange intruder, there is not the slightest suspicion of resistance, but very enthusiastic to accept me.

Liu San'er told me that his parents had been fishing in this fishing village for most of their lives, but despite the hard work, the heavy taxes still weighed them down, in order to support his family, Liu San'er left the place of birth and went to Yangzhou alone, before he met me, he had been working in the inn to earn money for the family, not long after I left the inn, his parents were seriously ill, he got the news and quit his job at the inn and rushed home to take care of his parents, and thus luckily escaped the plague that year. But unfortunately, his father was gone after all, so he did not return to the inn, stayed in the fishing village to fish, and lived with his mother, who was haunted by the sickbed.

Then I know why he is so good at taking care of people.

"The fish used to be easy to catch, but in the past two years, there have been people blocking the nets on the Rencheng side, and we can't catch any big fish here, so I went upstream with a few brothers in the village," he said, sorting out the fishing nets that were drying on the wooden shelves in the yard, and looking back and smiling, "I just happened to save you." ”

I sat under the eaves, looked at him, and smiled.

Sometimes, between people, in addition to fate, there may really be some coincidences arranged by God.

"I didn't expect that when I was blind, I bothered you so much, and now I have to-"

"Ah," he interrupted me with a quick wave of his hand, "don't say that. The most precious thing for a person is this life, and no one can see death without saving it. ”

Looking at his clear eyes, so black and white, I was suddenly speechless.

I lived like an ant by the side of that rich man, and the moment I jumped off the boat, whether it was relief or despair, I was real, and I didn't take this life seriously.

But this poor man told me that the most precious thing in a person is this life.

Yes, ants are still stealing life, let alone me?

At that time, why did I fall into such a demonic barrier?

Thinking of this, the faint sourness in his heart finally turned into a shallow smile at the corner of his mouth, and said to Liu San'er: "Thank you." ”

"Huh?"

"You have a point."

He scratched the back of his head, his hair was a little messy, and smiled embarrassedly at me.

Looking up, the light of the sunset slanted into this small courtyard, casting the shadow of the bamboo fence on the ground, stretching long, there are already several families in the village have risen the smoke of cooking, some villagers come back from fishing, carrying a few big fish behind their backs to pass by the door, and wave their hands to greet: "San'er, where are you resting today?" ”

Liu San'er smiled: "Uncle Qing, your harvest is good." ”

"It's done. I'll go back first. ”

"Hey."

Listening to this simple and simple dialogue, people have a different kind of intimacy. I thought to myself, Liu San'er had already walked in front of me and stretched out his hand: "Come on, let's walk around again, and we'll eat." ”

"Hmm."

He carefully helped me to my feet and walked slowly around the small courtyard.

This is the fifth lap of the day.

As the doctor said before, I hurt my waist, not so easy to get better, just woke up in the first few days, the waist is completely weak, if there is no help from Liu San'er, I can only lie there like a dead man, fortunately he helps me, every day to move my hands, move my feet, after a few days the body can finally move slowly.

After that, he often helped me to walk around the small yard and move, but my body made it so that I had to hang almost the whole thing on his arm to barely move a few steps. Often I couldn't walk for a while, but I was sweating profusely, so he helped me to sit under the eaves and rest, and the two of them chatted, and half a day passed.

This time, it's much better than before.

I felt that although I was a little tired, I was still able to walk quite freely with the support of my muscular arms.

After walking this circle, there was still a layer of fine and dense sweat on my forehead, I was wiping it with my sleeve, suddenly, I felt that the hand that had been holding me was released, and when I turned my head, Liu San'er stood beside me, smiled and said, "You go around again." ”

“……？”

"I see that you are almost recovered, I won't help you this time, you can take a look."

The orange light of the setting sun shone on his dark face, showing a warm feeling, which was already a little tired, but hearing him say this made me surge with strength.

I want to get better too!

So he nodded: "Yes." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at the small courtyard full of warm sunsets, gritted his teeth, and took the first step.

Without the support of that hand, my knees and ankles immediately felt a burst of weakness, cold sweat trickled down, and I felt that I had exhausted all my strength before I took the first step.

Sure enough, it was still too reluctant.

I used to hold his arm all the time, and I felt that it was very laborious, but now I have to walk on my own, and I'm just afraid-

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be timid, and was about to tell him that I would not practice anymore, but as soon as I turned around, I saw a dark arm at my side, not far or close, but as soon as I reached out, I could grasp it.

I was stunned, raised my head, and saw a smile on that dark face: "Don't worry, you go slowly, I'm here." You can't walk anymore and hold on to me. ”

“……”

I was silent for a moment, didn't speak, just turned around.

Gritted his teeth and took another step.

Early the next morning, Liu San'er walked out of the small thatched hut that had been temporarily erected in the corner of the yard, and when she saw me at a glance, she was stunned for a moment: "Light girl? ”

I leaned against the wall and gasped a little, and looked at him with a smile: "Morning." ”

"You're up so early."

"I want to practice more."

Yesterday, with his help, I walked around the yard by myself, and if it weren't for my dexterity, I would have jumped with joy. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep that night, so early in the morning, I got up again to practice walking.

Practice makes perfect, and I'm getting smoother and smoother.

He smiled and admonished me twice, and plunged into the kitchen, and I walked around the yard a few times by myself, sweating profusely, but at the thought that I finally did not have to lie down like a dead man, I felt extremely happy, and took a few more steps, and now I could not hold it anymore, and threw myself at the door.

Just then, the door was pushed open.

A delicate face comes into view.

As soon as she saw me, she was stunned for a moment, and immediately floated a faint smile: "Light girl, you can go." ”

"Hmm. Rue girl, I'm going to trouble you again. ”

I wiped my sweat and said with a smile.

The beautiful and gentle woman in front of her is called Ruxiang, and she is also a villager of Jixiang Village, and she lives near Liu San'er's house. Since I came to Liu's house, Liu San'er has helped me take care of everything, but after all, there are differences between men and women, and there are always some things that he can't do, such as helping me wipe my body and bathe, so he invited this Rue girl to help.

She has a very gentle personality, although she is not warm to me, but she is still very diligent and careful, and I have a good impression of her.

After scrubbing in the small stone house, the people were much refreshed, and I smiled and thanked while picking up my clothes: "Miss Ruexiang, I'm really bothering you these days." Now that I can move myself, I'll do it myself. ”

She glanced at me, smiled and nodded, "Hmm." ”

Putting on the clothes, she and I walked out one after the other, just in time to see Liu San'er coming out of the kitchen with a big pot of fish soup, and when she saw the two of us, she smiled and said, "Ruxiang, thank you for your hard work." It's just that the soup is ready, so you can drink some too. ”

Ruexiang's white face was dyed with a faint flush, and she nodded lightly: "Hmm." ”

Liu San'er gave us a bowl of fish soup each, and brought another bowl into the back room to give his mother to drink, and Rue Xiang and I sat opposite each other at the table.

She and I finally had nothing to say, the atmosphere in the room was a little dull, only to see her thin, sipping a small sip of the milky white soup in the bowl, although there was no laughter, no words of praise, but the eyes flashed, clearly the light of happiness.

I smiled faintly.

Some people say that women are born to act and are the best at acting, but in my opinion, there are some things in a woman's body that cannot be hidden.

For example, love, and happiness.

For example, pain, and helplessness.

Thinking of this, I lowered my head and took a sip of the fish soup, and then, I couldn't help but laugh a little.

The fish soup is bland and tasteless, and there is still some fishy smell that has not gone, and it is nothing to swallow in a big gulp.

But looking at the little woman opposite, it seems that she is tasting the most delicious delicacies in the world.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, as if a lot of people had gathered together and shouted something, and when you listened carefully, it seemed that there were still people arguing. Rue Xiang and I both heard it, glanced at each other, and put down the bowl to take a look, just as Liu San'er came out of the back room, and when he heard this voice, he walked to the door with us.

In the distance, I saw that there seemed to be a lot of people gathered at the head of the village, and I didn't know what they were doing.

At this moment, a villager hurriedly ran over and shouted at the gate of the courtyard: "San'er, come here!" ”

"What's wrong?"

"Something happened, people from the government are here."

"Huh?"

People from the government?!

My heart sank.

These days, living in Liu's house, recuperating wholeheartedly, I have almost forgotten what kind of suffering I have experienced to get such peace, can I say-

He's still looking for me?

Is this kind of calm only so short-lived?
