Chapter 16: A Little Hungry

Fang Mumu thought that she was gone, she wandered through the chaos, slowly opening her eyes, wanting to see if there really was another world.

The dim light, the yellowish earth walls that have been smoothed and smoked by the years, the flower cloth around the walls around the kang, the flower quilt covering himself, everything familiar to Fang Mumu makes Fang Mumu wonder, is the other world just a replica of the previous world?

When Fang Mumu's eyes touched Yu Cai, who was napping beside her, she really realized that she was still alive.

Fang Mumu didn't know how long she had been lying on the kang, she wanted to look at the direction of the door to judge the morning and evening. Yu Cai's body just blocked her vision, she wanted to move her body, the pain that swept over made her frown, gritted her teeth and endured it, she slowly propped herself up with her hands, and slowly moved in the direction where she could see the door.

The quilt covering Yu Cai's legs moved because of Fang Mumu's movement, so that Yu Cai, who had accidentally fallen asleep, woke up instantly, her eyes moved up with the quilt on her legs, until she saw Fang Mumu who opened her eyes, she was a little surprised and couldn't believe her eyes, "Mumu? ”

"Mom~" Fang Mumu saw that her mother was woken up by herself, and she was a little embarrassed in her heart, she smiled embarrassedly at her mother, "You can sleep for a while." ”

"Mommy is not sleepy." Yu Cai sat up straight, helped Fang Mumu who was struggling to move, and added an extra pillow for her to lean on, "The old doctor told you to lie down well." ”

Fang Mumu's memories before she lost consciousness swept over, her eyes were red, and there was a glitter in her eyes, but she couldn't help but let a tear fall, "Mom, I'm sorry." ”

"What stupid things are you talking about?" Yu Cai stroked Fang Mumu's hair, over and over again, she always felt that she couldn't touch it enough, Fang Mumu during the day really scared her a lot, when she saw Fang Mumu who picked up the kitchen knife, what she thought about the most at that moment was, if Fang Mumu went, what should she do? Go with Fang Mumu, or continue to live in grief? She is more inclined to the former in her heart. When she heard the old doctor say that Fang Mumu's life was still there, she was glad that Fang Mumu was alive, and she was also glad that she didn't have to follow him to seek death.

Fang Mumu was comforted by Yu Cai, his eyes inadvertently moved to the door, and he couldn't see the light coming in through the gap in the door, saying that it was already dark. She withdrew her eyes and looked at Yu Cai, "Mom, I still want to sleep a little longer." ”

"Isn't Mu Mu hungry?" Yu Cai approached Fang Mumu and stroked Fang Mumu's cheeks with both hands, "Mom will give you a hot meal." With that, she turned around and prepared to get off the kang to go to the hot meal.

"Mom~" Fang Mumu grabbed her mother, she clearly remembered that her mother was beaten more severely than her, although her mother was not in pain at the moment, but she knew that her mother must be holding on, she hoped that her mother could rest in peace, "I'm not hungry, my eyelids are so heavy, you can sleep with me for a while, okay?" ”

Yu Cai didn't know why, when she heard Fang Mumu say that her eyelids were so heavy, she couldn't help but want to cry, and the tears that fell out of her suddenly made her a little flustered, she was afraid that Fang Mumu would see her tears, so she quickly wiped away the tears with both hands, and smiled and removed the pillow that had just been placed under Fang Mumu's head, "Okay, I'll sleep with Mumu for a while." ”

Fang Mumu watched his mother put the quilt back on himself, watched his mother put her pillow next to his pillow, watched his mother lay out the quilt for herself, watched the dusk go out, and everything familiar in front of him was swallowed in darkness.

Fang Mumu's wake made Yu Cai's heart completely relaxed, and the rest only waited for the cloudy old doctor to come and see the specific situation. So she quickly fell asleep, probably so tired that she was snoring.

Fang Mumu listened to Yu Cai's snoring sound that sounded after a while, and she smiled with relief. Life has thousands of sufferings mixed with this dullness day after day, year after year, but there is always a glimmer of hope to persist in life, and the sweetness is hidden in some unexpected place.

I don't know who the rooster climbed the wall diligently, and crowed to wake up all the sleeping people in the crockpot village.

Fang Mumu listened to the faint cry, and slowly opened his eyes from the darkness, the darkness in front of him could be heard, smelled, and even seen. The mother's snoring beside her had stopped, and in its place was the undulating sound of even breathing.

Fang Mumu didn't dare to move like she did before she fell asleep for the second time last night, she was afraid that she would wake up her mother again, she wanted her mother to sleep more.

The discomfort of maintaining a movement in the body for a long time and the beautiful expectation in his heart are confronted in Fang Mumu's thoughts, and it is the knock on the door that breaks this resistance, and the discomfort is relieved, and the expectation becomes a thing of the past.

Yu Cai was so shocked that he sat up from the kang, touched Fang Mumu with his hand, felt Fang Mumu's body rise and fall with his breathing, and then settled down.

At this time, the knock sounded again, the door of the main house opened, and it closed quickly, Yu Cai would not be naΓ―ve to think that Fang Jian was going to open the door.

Yu Cai wanted to turn on the light, but she was afraid that the light would be too dazzling, so she wanted Fang Mumu to sleep a little longer, even if it was only for a few minutes. She touched the black quilt and rolled it up quickly, a pair of feet looked back and forth on the ground looking for shoes, the knock on the door sounded again and again, and as soon as her feet found the shoes, she ran to the door with her shoes.

"It's coming~" Yu Cai put on the shoes on his feet as he ran, grabbing his hair with his hands as he ran. By the time she opened the door, she was pretty much cleaned up. Looking at the old doctor and her father outside the door, she stepped out of the way and said, "Dad, old doctor, please come in." ”

"I told you too early and too early, you just don't listen, you see that people and children haven't woken up yet." The old doctor tapped the porcelain dirt with his cane, and looked at Yu Cai's father beside him dissatisfied.

Yu Cai's father deliberately helped the old doctor to walk into the courtyard, "You have come all the time, just hurry up and go in to see a doctor." ”

"I'll go by myself." Like a three-year-old child, the old doctor raised his hand to shake off Yu Cai's father's support, carried the medicine box, and entered the door with a cane.

Yu Cai's father shrugged his shoulders and kept up with the old doctor. Yu Cai saw that the old doctor and his father had already entered the door, and after closing the door, he walked quickly to the front of the two to lead the way. Before the two of them entered the side room, they took the lead in the first room to turn on the light, at this time, even if she didn't want the dazzling light to disturb Fang Mumu's sleep, it would not work, after all, it was important to see a doctor.

"Has this kid ever woken up?" The old doctor put the medicine box on the side of the kang and asked while wearing reading glasses.

"I woke up last night." Yu Cai hurriedly stepped forward to answer, for fear that if he moved a little slowly, he would delay Fang Mumu's treatment.

"How's the status?" As soon as the old doctor raised his eyes, he found that Fang Mumu was sleeping in the kang, and he just wanted to see it, but he couldn't see it, so before Yu Cai could answer, he said to Yu Cai, "You move the child to the kang first." ”

"Oh, good, good." Yu Caihui took off his shoes and put on the kang while answering the old doctor's question, "I woke up last night, and I looked pretty good, but I didn't eat anything." ”

Yu Cai's father, who was originally standing in the middle of the house and refused to go to the kang, walked to the kang in a little panic, watched his daughter pick up Fang Mumu with difficulty, and asked, "Can you hold it?" Or I'll come up and help you. Although Yu Cai's father said so, he didn't take off his shoes immediately, after all, this is where his daughter and granddaughter sleep, and he still has some scruples as a big man.

"I can do it." Yu Cai hugged Fang Mumu and gritted her teeth, looked up and handed her father a reassuring smile. "Besides, Mumu has woken up."

Yu Cai's father then moved his gaze to his granddaughter's emaciated face, her eyes opened slightly, smiling at herself, and the corners of his mouth also smiled, but this smile was a little awkward, this was the first time he smiled at the awake Fang Mumu. "Good boy, bear with me."

"Hmm." Fang Mumu replied softly, and then followed the strength of his mother's hand to support his body, so that his mother would not have too much effort when he hugged him.

Yu Cai's father saw that Yu Cai had moved Fang Mumu to the side of the kang, so he returned to the place where he was standing.

"Little girl, how do you feel?" The old doctor took the inspection instrument and asked about Fang Mumu's situation.

"It's fine." Fang Mumu replied with a smile.

"Do you have a headache?" The old doctor began to check, asking as he went.

"It doesn't hurt." Fang Mumu shook his head slightly.

"Does it hurt?"

"A little bit." Fang Mumu replied with a grin, even though she knew that the old doctor couldn't see her smile.

"Is there anything else that is uncomfortable? For example, nausea and discomfort. ”

"I'm a little hungry." Fang Mumu's stomach also sounded at this time.

"That's good." The old doctor said, put the inspection instrument back into his medicine box again, looked up and said to Yu Cai, who was kneeling on the kang, "The child is in good condition, go to me every other week for a check-up, if there is nothing abnormal within three months, it should be fine." ”

"Okay, thank you, doctor." Yu Cai knelt in front of the old doctor, bending down and nodding in thanks as he spoke.

"Alright, don't kneel. Hurry up and get your child something to eat. The old doctor waved his hand and picked up the medicine box to leave.

Yu Cai hurriedly got off the kang, walked up to the old doctor, and asked in a low voice, "That... Doctor, how much do you have to pay for this medical treatment? ”

"Hurry up and cook, the child is still hungry." Yu Cai's father interrupted Yu Cai sharply, "You don't have to send us, we know the way." ”

Yu Cai raised her eyes to look at her serious father, the majesty of her father's speech did not allow her to ask any more questions, she had to nod her head and agree, and went to the kitchen to prepare a meal for Fang Mumu.

"You, you're so old, you still can't learn to speak well." The old doctor smacked the ground a few times on crutches in front of Yu Cai's father.

"As far as you know how to talk well, okay, let's go, the child still needs to rest." Yu Cai's father said, and Fang Mumu, who opened his eyes and looked at them on the kang, said, "Good boy, rest well and take good care of your body." ”

"Hmm." Fang Mumu nodded in response.

"I know that in your eyes, my doctor is only useful when I see a doctor, and only when I see a doctor, you are polite to me, and you will make me look after seeing a doctor." The old doctor pretended to be angry, looked back at Fang Mumu, and turned to leave.

Yu Cai's father didn't say anything more, and left with the pace of the old doctor.

Fang Jian listened to the footsteps of the two old men leaving at the door of the main house, and finally heard the sound of the door being closed, so he dared to open the door again. He put his head under the curtain of the side room, wanting to see if Fang Mu Mu was alive or dead in the side room.

Fang Mumu opened her eyes slightly, if she didn't look closely, it would be difficult to see that she was awake, she should have her eyes closed from Fang Jian's position, but from her position, she could clearly see Fang Jian's entire head, she could clearly feel that she was holding her breath and was afraid, and even more angry, she didn't want Fang Jian to find herself awake.

It wasn't until Fang Jian moved his head out of the side room as if he hadn't noticed anything unusual that Fang Mumu gasped.
