Shen Yusleeve didn't know what was gone, but he could also feel that Grandma Fang was different from usual, and when she looked up, she saw that she had always been a loving old man, but at this moment, her eyes were red, and she looked like she wanted to cry.

"Grandma, what's wrong with you?" Shen Yusleeve didn't understand what was going on, so his little hand gently grabbed the corner of the old man's clothes, raised his head and asked her.

Grandma Fang looked at the piece of land in her memory, and the unspeakable sadness in her heart, but she didn't want to scare the child because of herself, so she forced a smile and comforted Shen Yusleeve: "It's okay, grandma is nothing." ”

After speaking, Grandma Fang looked at this land that was completely different from the one she remembered, and the disappointment in her eyes was indescribable.

Not only is the locust tree gone, but even the trench in her memory has long since been leveled and turned into several dirt roads and a piece of farmland, how can she possibly find her son?

"Don't be disappointed, let's go to the surrounding villages and ask, shall we? You might even find it! Fang Youshun comforted her softly.

In the past 20 years, it is normal for this place to change, and if you really can't find it, there is no way to do it.

"Grandpa, what are you looking for?" Shen Yusleeve asked Fang Youshun suspiciously.

"Looking for your second uncle, I ...... back then." Grandma Fang told her about the past leisurely.

Although she knew that even if she said it, this little girl might not be able to understand, but she still wanted to say it, wanting her to know that she once had a second uncle, who was buried in this land.

Shen Yusleeve listened to the old man talk about the past so quietly, his eyes were slowly filled with crystal tears, and he felt uncomfortable.

She felt that her dead second uncle was so miserable, her grandmother and mother who fled back then were also miserable, and her old grandfather, grandmother, uncle, and brother-in-law who didn't know where they were washed by the flood, they were all so miserable.

Because of this, Shen Yusleeve became extremely well-behaved, and he no longer felt that his butt hurt when he sat on the tricycle every day, so he let Fang Youshun take her and Grandma Fang around the surrounding villages, and kept asking if anyone had seen the bones of a child when the trench was leveled.

Unfortunately, no one knew about it, and no one ever found a child-sized body there.

For eight or nine days, the two old men walked around the surrounding villages, but they didn't get any useful news, and finally they could only die.

"It's almost June 6, let's go back to our hometown and go to the grave, tell our ancestors, if you see our father and son over there, you can help, although it is not in the same place, but what if they can see it?" Fang Youshun comforted Grandma Fang in a gentle voice.

Grandma Fang nodded sadly, it can only be like this.

She had also heard from Fang Youshun a long time ago, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were people who settled in the original flooded place to form a village, and there was a cousin in the village who was separated by Fang Youshun several rooms away from him guarding the ancestral grave.

And the two also discussed, when they were alive, he and Grandma Fang would live with their only daughter, and when the two closed their eyes, they would return to their roots and be buried in their hometown.

Their ancestors, as well as their sons who died early or did not know what to live or die for, were probably all on this land, and they had to guard their sons and parents when they died.

In this way, Fang Youshun took the two of them to the direction of their hometown again, but the closer they got to their hometown, the worse their faces became.

The situation here does not seem to be very good, and the crops in the fields are all curled up with wilted leaves, not to mention any wild vegetables, which are not to be seen at all.

And Shen Yusleeve, who was sitting on the tricycle, didn't understand what this meant, so she felt that the wind in the air was dry and hot, blowing her lips with skin.

Grandma Fang saw that her hot little face was flushed, and she was afraid that the scorching sun would tan her little face, so she covered her little face with a cloth to wipe her face, and then kept fanning her with a fan.

At this time, Grandma Fang regretted a little, regretting that she shouldn't have come out with Shen Yusleeve, letting her suffer this crime at a young age, but fortunately, it is not far from her hometown now, and it should be better when she arrives in her hometown, right?

However, Grandma Fang still thought too well, and when Fang Youshun and the two of them finally arrived at the place, they found that this place was not much better than the place they passed by all the way.

Shen Yusleeve looked at this strange village curiously, there seemed to be a figure shaking in every house, but none of them came out, and finally saw a child who was older than her, and felt that he was like those wilting crops, extremely unenergetic, and extremely thin, and there was not even any brilliance in his eyes.

Shen Yusleeve looked at the child curiously, and the child also looked at her in a daze, until a corner interrupted the two of them.

As soon as Shen Yusleeve withdrew his gaze, he felt that the tricycle stopped, and then he heard his grandfather's voice asking: "Is Youcheng at home?" ”

Shen Yusleeve looked back at the place where Fang Youshun stopped, and saw that this was a very ordinary courtyard, with sparse fence walls, a few earthen houses, and a dry smell in his face.

As Fang Youshun's inquiry fell, a dry old man with a wrinkled face walked out of a room,

As soon as the old man saw Fang Youshun, his old eyes suddenly lit up slightly, and he walked over excitedly: "Brother, why are you here?" ”

"The family is not having a good time, so I have to come over with dinner, and by the way, I will come to the grave of our ancestors." Fang Youshun replied to him with a smile, and at the same time asked Grandma Fang to get out of the car, and at the same time hugged Shen Yusleeve down.

The old man, that is, Fang Youcheng, heard that Fang Youshun was asking for food, and the light in his eyes immediately dimmed, and his mouth was bitter.

"Brother, we're so dry, I'm afraid you won't be able to get anything." Fang Youcheng's mouth was a little bitter.

As soon as Fang Youshun heard his words, he knew that he would be wrong, but it was not easy to explain outside, so he asked him instead: "Then do you still have anything to eat?" I asked for something along the way, and I'll leave you some. ”

Fang Youcheng didn't expect him to say this, and after being stunned for a while, he was about to refuse, but when he saw the adults and children who came out when he heard the movement, his lips trembled, and in the end he could only bite the bullet and say: "Brother, it's useless for my younger brother, if you want to leave what you want to come without face and skin." ”

"What are you talking about, we are brothers, what are you polite to me?" Fang Youshun said and began to unload things from the car: "There are wild vegetables that I dug all the way to dry, as well as some coarse grains and dry nests that I want to arrive, I will leave them for you." ”

Fang Youshun and the others unloaded all the things, and when they saw that no one moved, they glared and beckoned to several adult men in the courtyard: "What are you looking at?" Hurry up and move into the house. ”

Hearing this, the adult men subconsciously looked at Fang Youcheng, and when they saw him nodding, they hurriedly moved things to the house, and at the same time, Fang Youcheng also hurriedly pulled Fang Youshun to the house.

"Come, come and sit in the house."

Seeing this, Grandma Fang also pulled Shen Yusleeve and walked into the house with her, but she didn't notice that by the fence wall outside the yard, the boy who had looked at Shen Yusleeve looked at everything that happened in the yard, and his gray eyes slowly lit up.
