Different from the stone road of Ge Sanjia, the courtyard is very dilapidated, but it is not cluttered at all, and it looks like someone has carefully cleaned it up.

Before entering the house, I heard a slightly deep voice from inside the house, accompanied by a cough, "Ahem, ahem, Chun Tao?" Is that you? ”

As soon as Chun Tao heard the cough, she hurriedly ran to the house, seeing this, Jiang Zhimiao and the two quickened their pace, passed through the hall, and went directly to the east wing.

The east wing is not large, only a bed and two large solid wood boxes, the solid wood boxes are painted and dark red, but judging from the lock on the outside, it is also some years.

As soon as he entered, he saw a middle-aged man with yellow muscles leaning against the wall, bursts of heart-rending coughs coming from his mouth, and his face turned pale with every cough.

Seeing someone entering, the man coughed lowly, slowly stood up, looked at Chun Tao, and wondered: "Chun Tao, what are they?" ”

Chun Tao saw that his face was flushed with coughing, and a pair of clear eyes were also flushed with moisture, she stepped forward to put him down and introduced the visitor, "Dad, you lie down first, this is a new villager in the village, and you want to ask us to buy some food." ”

When the words fell, the man's eyes wandered away from Jiang Zhimiao's faces and looked at them for a moment, seeing this, Jiang Zhimiao clasped his hands together on his chest and made a bow, and said with a warm smile:

"Hello uncle, we are exiles who have been placed in Tianshui Village, we have just arrived, and we have no surplus food in our hands, no, I just wanted to ask you to buy some food, and I hope that Uncle can make it convenient."

The man understood, and was about to say something, but before the words came out, he coughed violently twice, and his voice was also a little hoarse by this cough, "What's so convenient and inconvenient, cough cough, spring peach, hurry, go to the west house and get some food." ”

Chun Tao got the order, took the cloth bag in the hands of Jiang Zhimiao and the others, and ran to the west house with a smoke.

There was another cough, and the two only heard the man say: "It's all from the villagers, how can you buy it, you can take it to eat, if it's not enough, come and get it again." ”

Jiang Zhimiao hurriedly waved his hand, and after a while, he said with a smile: "Uncle, you can have as much as you want, if you are so polite, then I don't dare to take your food." ”

Wen Zhuqing nodded, and then said: "Yes, uncle, how can there be a reason to eat white food in this world, if you are so polite, we really don't dare to stay here." ”

Seeing that his face was as pale as paper and his body was emaciated, Jiang Zhimiao was puzzled: "Uncle, what kind of illness are you?" How could you cough so badly? ”

Hearing this, the man was sullen for a while, and sighed heavily, "It's not a serious illness, it's just frozen by the rain last night. ”

Jiang Zhimiao listened to this, and thought about it, seeing that he was not very old, he was only thirty-five or sixteen, and he was hurt at such a young age, and he was also a poor person.

Several people exchanged a few pleasantries, and after a while, the sound of talking stopped, and only the sound of coughing resounded in the room.

Seeing that he was coughing so violently, I was afraid that it had hurt his lungs, and now it was freezing cold, and there was no charcoal basin or anything in the house.

About a quarter of an hour later, Chun Tao's face turned red and dragged two cloth bags of grain towards the east house with difficulty, as soon as she heard the sound of the cloth bag rubbing against the land, Wen Zhuqing hurriedly ran to her, took the cloth bag in her hand, and picked it up.

These two cloth bags add up to more than 30 pounds, and it is troublesome for ordinary women to drag them, let alone a female doll.

Seeing a little sweat on her forehead, Jiang Zhimiao took out a handkerchief from the placket, bent over slightly, and wiped it gently.

At the last delicate face, Chun Tao's swarthy little face flushed, and said timidly: "Thank you, thank you, sister." ”

Jiang Zhimiao straightened up, rubbed her messy forehead casually, and said with a smile: "You're welcome, it's we who want to thank you, if you didn't bring us over, we wouldn't be able to buy food, thanks to you, we don't have to go hungry, it should be my sister thank you." ”

Holding the patched cotton clothes in her palms, Chun Tao timidly raised her eyes to look at Jiang Zhimiao, but quickly withdrew her gaze, and after a moment, she met her gaze and showed a slightly shy smile.

Seeing her staring at herself intently, Chun Tao scratched her head uncomfortably and smiled even more, "Sister, it's cold here, let's go into the house quickly." Jiang Zhimiao nodded, and then followed her into the east room.

The transaction linked to money still has to go through the adult, in the final analysis, Chun Tao's father is the one who has the right to speak, Chun Tao is still young, and she can feel at ease when the money is given to adults.

Before he stepped into the room, there was a heart-rending cough in his ears, and he wanted to cough his lungs out, and not only that, but the violent coughing was accompanied by a flurry of retching, which was more violent than any previous cough.

Hearing this cough, the two quickened their pace and hurriedly entered the house.

I saw Wen Zhuqing standing beside the man, patting him on the back, Jiang Zhimiao's gaze moved to the man's face, and blood gushed down the corners of his mouth, which was shocking to watch.

Chun Tao exclaimed, screamed and stepped forward to pull the man's wrist, crying heartbreakingly, "Dad, Dad, what's wrong with you, don't scare me, Dad, Dad, Chun Tao is so scared, Dad, woo woo." ”

The man was drained of his energy by this violent cough, he held Chun Tao's hand with his backhand, and said angrily: "Peach, don't cry, Dad is fine, that's it, it's just coughing, don't cry, don't cry, Dad is fine." ”

Chun Tao cried and shook her head, and retorted in her mouth: "Dad, don't lie to me, you have coughed up blood, you have never coughed up blood before, how can it be okay, Dad, don't die, don't leave Chun Tao alone." ”

When the words fell, she wiped a handful of tears and cried: "My mother is gone, my brother is gone, Chun Tao is only left with her father, Dad, if you leave, Chun Tao, Chun Tao will have no relatives." ”

Chun Tao knew that coughing up blood was going to die, her mother coughed up blood when she gave birth to her younger brother, and when she slipped in and saw it when the midwife was not paying attention, she first vomited a little blood, and then a lot of blood spurted out of her mouth, not only that, but there was also blood all under her body, and she couldn't stop it.

She cried and shouted and wiped it with a handkerchief, but she couldn't finish wiping it, and as soon as she wiped it from her mouth, it gushed out from under her body, and she only remembered that it was a very dark night, and it didn't take long for her mother to die, and her unborn brother in her belly.

Dad said that they had just gone far away and would come back, but after so long, she had never seen them come back, and Dad lied to people, and if they died, they would never come back, never.
