1 Abandoned babies
In the Mo family in Nanwan Village, thirty miles outside the capital, the two elders of the Mo family didn't sleep all night, and the two of them stayed at the head of the bed, watching their only granddaughter breathless in front of them but helpless!
As the little granddaughter's breathing stopped, the couple's hearts seemed to stop beating.
The son is gone, then the daughter-in-law does not survive, and now the granddaughter has stopped breathing in front of her eyes. The old man Mo, who was originally still strong, turned white overnight under the successive blows, and his straight back had long since become no longer straight, at this time he sat at the head of the bed with empty eyes, and his calloused hands gently stroked his granddaughter's soft cheeks, as if in this way, his granddaughter could open her eyes and wake up.
The old wife Song Nanzhi, who was also sitting at the head of the bed, had already dried up her tears, and at this time, as if she had lost her soul, she sat motionless at the head of the bed and watched the old man gently touch her little granddaughter with her hand.
If the husband and wife were not for each other, they would not be able to support their already crumbling bodies.
When there was a glimmer of light in the sky, the old man Mo Tingyu swallowed the bitterness in his heart, sighed deeply, and then stood up and went out.
When he came back in, he carried a basket covered with a blue cloth towel. Withstanding the heartache, he wrapped his granddaughter and put it in the basket that he had brought in, and then he took the basket in his hand and walked out of the door, and when he came out of the door, he took the hoe that stood by the wall of the door and took it in his hand.
After Old Man Mo went out, he walked along the river in the village until he walked to the woodland where his son and daughter-in-law were buried.
Walking to the graves of his son and daughter-in-law, the two graves saw at a glance that they were new graves that had just been erected. Old man Mo gently put down the basket containing his granddaughter, picked up the hoe and dug a small pit next to his daughter-in-law's grave.
After digging, put down the hoe, Old Man Mo picked up the baby in the basket and gently put it in the soil pit, and the moment he put down his granddaughter, the tears in his eyes finally couldn't hold back anymore, and the big drops rolled down. But even so, he didn't dare to let himself cry, gritted his teeth, didn't let himself make a sound, stretched out his hand and covered his face and eyes tightly, as if he could stop the tears from flowing out of his hands tightly.
He can't fall, the old woman at home is still waiting for him to take care of it, if he falls, what will the old woman do?
After covering for a while, he closed his eyes tightly for a while, and when he closed his eyes, he took away his hands covering his face, and after taking his hands, he began to grab the new soil that had been dug up next to the pit one by one and sprinkled it into the pit.
Although it was filled, Old Man Mo still didn't stop, and continued to dig the surrounding soil with his rough, dry hands like dry tree trunks, until a small mountain bag was piled up.
After burying his granddaughter, Old Man Mo's full strength also dispersed, but he didn't dare to stop, didn't dare to stay for a while, he was afraid that if he stayed for a while, his heart would not be able to pick it up, so he stayed here.
He stooped down to lift the basket, which had become light but unusually heavy, back into his hand, and stooped down to pick up the hoe that had been placed aside. After taking one last look at the graves of his son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter, he let out a long sigh and walked out of the woods.
After walking out of the woods, he walked straight to the river, ready to wash the dirt on his hands, and just squatted down and put his hand into the river, the sound of a baby crying was heard in his ears.
Old man Mo looked at the rippling river in front of him, the river water was very clear and cold, but it couldn't cool his heart, listening to the baby's cry in his ears, his heart was bitter, if only his granddaughter could really cry.
Old man Mo only thought he was in a trance!
Continuing to scrub his rough hands stained with mud in the cool river water, the crying in his ears became louder and clearer, which made Old Man Mo can't help but raise his head and look in the direction where the sound came from!
At this glance, Old Man Mo's heart was about to jump out of his chest, and he saw a wooden basin floating on the river, and the baby's cry came from the floating wooden basin!
After making sure that he was not in a trance, Old Man Mo didn't bother to wash his hands anymore, and jumped into the river with his body rushing forward, and then swam in the direction of the wooden basin.
Old man Mo, who swam to the wooden basin, first took a look inside while holding the wooden basin, and at this look, his sad heart had a trace of warmth, full of sorrow, and his painful face couldn't help but bring a touch of relief and comfort.
After struggling to swim back to the shore and holding the wooden basin ashore, he wanted to check the little baby in the wooden basin, and his hands habitually wiped it off his body, but this wipe found that his whole body was wet and dripping with water, and after shaking off the water in his hand, he reached out to the basin, and after checking the baby in the basin, the old man Mo only felt that he was alive again, with red eyes, gently caressing the baby's cheek, and shouted softly: "Wanyun, my Wanyun is back." ”
At this time, Lin Qing also looked at Old Man Mo with red eyes! The hanging heart is finally let go! It doesn't matter what he says or shouts! I just thought that I was finally saved and that I could live again!
The more Lin Qing, who breathed a sigh of relief after being rescued, felt more and more aggrieved and afraid, he slept at home in a good manner, and when he woke up, he became a little baby who couldn't help himself, but before he could figure out what was going on, he found himself lying in a wooden basin that went down the river, and he became an abandoned baby for some reason, not to mention, and almost lost his life!
This grievance, the red eyes that had been crying for a long time welled up with tears again, and at this time, there was pain in the right shoulder again, and this time Lin Qing couldn't help it anymore, and opened his mouth to cry again.
Old man Mo looked at the little baby who was crying heartbreakingly in the basin, his heart was pinched again, and he wanted to reach out to comfort the little baby in his arms, but he was still dripping with water all over his body.
couldn't hold it, so he only stretched out his hand and gently patted Lin Qing to comfort her: "Don't cry, don't cry!" I'll take you home. After speaking, he continued: "Don't be afraid, you will be my Mo Tingyu's granddaughter in the future, and when you get home, your grandfather and mother-in-law will take care of you, we will not lose you again, and we will not let people bully you." ”
Lin Qing gradually stopped crying after the words of the person in front of him, and looked at the person in front of him in a daze, although the baby's eyesight was very poor, but it was so close, Lin Qing still saw the person in front of him clearly.
said that he was an old man, but the person in front of him did not look old, although he was not old, he was full of wind and frost, and he knew at a glance that the person in front of him must be being tortured by life.
Seeing him looking at himself lovingly, his cloudy and dull eyes also shot out a light of love, and his hoarse voice was like a magnet, so that every word he spit out firmly sucked Lin Qing.
Not only will I be saved, but I will also have a home, and I will not lose my grandparents again!
The frightened boat has finally found a harbor where it can stay and take shelter from the wind and rain!
Blinking away the tears in his eyes, Lin Qing stretched out his hand to his chest hard, and tightly grasped the pair of rough hands that were still on his chest, even if he only grabbed a rough finger, Lin Qing was satisfied, this finger was enough to dock himself.
Old man Mo looked at the little baby who grabbed his finger, the pity in his eyes was even greater, he stretched out his other hand, and gently wiped away the tears on Lin Qing's face with the back of his index finger, "Don't cry, grandpa will take you home." ”
After wiping the tears on Lin Qing's face, Old Man Mo said softly: "In the future, you will be my Mo Tingyu's granddaughter." Rest assured, grandpa will raise you and will never lose you again. ”
Lin Qing looked at the old man, but what comforted her even more was the voice in her ears. Immediately, the fear of being abandoned was completely put down, the corners of his mouth grinned, and although the arc of the little head shaking was not large, he still nodded symbolically, and said "Oh" with a smile in his mouth, "Thank you, grandpa." ”
Mo Tingyu not only smiled at himself after seeing the baby in the basin after his words, but also nodded his little head, and said "oh" in his mouth, as if he understood what he said, and the joy in his heart was even greater, and he didn't care about his hoe, at this time, he was full of strength again, picked up the wooden basin and held it firmly in his arms, "Go home, go home with grandpa." ”
