Chapter 12 The child is very well-behaved
The only small river bay in the barren beach, the current erodes the barren beach into a ravine, and the sand and soil drift with the water, resulting in the water in the whole river channel is also turbid, but fortunately, the existence of water makes this land full of life.
"Ahh
"You little creature without a conscience!" the child's mouth kept scolding, but there was not the slightest anger on his face. But the occasional snort of pain proved how vicious the beatings he had been subjected to.
This is the martyr and the little goat that finally stopped, the martyr almost dragged his own body, with his amazing perseverance to come to this place, otherwise the martyr's heart is very clear, the little thing will not reason with itself, although it is to forget this stubble, but for it is a lie, if it can't find what it wants, it can't be stopped.
At this time, watching the little things sprinkle and eat the water and grass on both sides of the river, although the pain in his body has not stopped for a moment, but Lie Ji thinks that this is really good.
When the little baa was satisfied, the lie walked in front, and the little goat walked behind and kept sprinkling joy, and approached the adobe house step by step.
······
"Father, mother, the child is back!"
"Daddy, mother?"
"Eh, what about people?" It stands to reason that at this time, parents should be preparing forage for cattle and sheep, and they shouldn't be unable to hear it! Lie Yao just thought that his parents were too busy to hear his voice, but why did his heart seem to be held by someone, and it was difficult to breathe smoothly, could it be that the little thing hurt himself too badly today, causing problems in his body?
Lie thought like this, but suddenly shook his head.
"What are you thinking? This little thing doesn't usually leave a hand when he starts, isn't it good?" But the feeling became more and more intense, and the fierce man inexplicably panicked.
"Daddy, mother?"
"Dad, mother?"
"Daddy... ,Niang·· ?”
"Daddy... ,Mother···" Lie's voice became louder and louder, but there was still no response, and Lie's face suddenly turned pale.
"Daddy! Mother!" The unconscious fierce voice trembled slightly, and the figure flew away, usually at this time the parents should be in the haystack.
"I saw it, I saw it..." Although it was only a short distance, Lie felt that it was a long time.
The haystack with a high roof was still there, and Lie also saw a lot of grass behind the haystack that had not been laid for a long time, and saw the grass that had not yet been crushed, and Lie Jie breathed a sigh of relief.
"Whew, here!" the Flame then walked to the back of the haystack
But! There was no figure! Lie vaguely guessed something, and suddenly felt his flesh and skin separate.
The next moment rushed into the cattle and sheep shed, no!
Rushed into the room, no!
Once again, he rushed madly into his field.
"Daddy, mother... !”
The child cried out like crazy, but there was no answer.
"Daddy, mother... !”
"Daddy, mother... !”
······
The voice was getting louder and louder, and his throat was already burning and aching, and he couldn't even hear what he was screaming, but there was still no one responding, and there was nothing else in this big field except the voice of a child.
"No, no, you won't abandon me, the child is very well-behaved!" The child, who was not yet six years old, kept running along the ridge, one lap, two laps, three laps... The words kept repeating in his mouth, and his eyes gradually became frightened.
The night began to change, but the figure never stopped.
"Dad, mother, father, mother, father... ,Mother···"
The voice is getting weaker and weaker
It was as if the child's soul had been consumed by the night, and he was just walking blindly, screaming incessantly, though his hoarse voice was difficult to distinguish.
"Baa!" a little snow-white goat appeared in the child's eyes.
The child's eyes lit up slightly, but soon fell silent again.
Creak!
The dilapidated wooden door slowly opens under the horns of a baby goat, followed by a soulless child.
"Dad, mother, don't you want to have a child with me?"
"No, no, I'm good!" Suddenly, the boy struggled violently, trying to grasp something with his hands, but the grasp was empty.
"I'm very well-behaved, very well-behaved, very well-behaved..."
"Bah!" even though the little goat rubbed the child's legs and pants uncharacteristically, the child still did not notice.
"Very well-behaved, very well-behaved, ... The night was approaching, but the child's final words never changed, and a little goat nested against the child's trouser leg.
Ahh
Suddenly, the child could no longer bear the torment and cried loudly.
"Martyr's family, Martyr's family..." Suddenly there was a sound outside the house, and the child rushed out as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
It was as if the child had heard hope beckoning to him.
"Maybe it's the parents who are just far away, it may be that the parents let others talk to themselves, it must be like this, it must be like this..."
"Grandma, grandma..." Outside the house, there was an old woman with loose skin, a slightly hunched waist, and a kind face, and she rushed into the other party's arms at once.
"Yo, I'll see who this is?" The old woman straightened the child's face from her arms with a smile on her face, but when she saw a heartbroken little face, she immediately hugged the child and wiped the tears off his face.
"Isn't this grandma's little flame? who bullied you, tell grandma. Isn't it your father, go, the old man will settle accounts with him!" The old grandmother was about to rush into the adobe house with the child, but she couldn't pull it.
When I turned around, the child's crying stopped abruptly, and the whole person stood there motionless, like an abandoned rag doll.
The old grandmother is also a person who has seen the world, and knows that such an expression can only appear in the kind of lifeless person, and immediately understands the seriousness of the matter.
"Tell grandma what happened?" the child remained motionless and unresponsive.
"Huh!"
Baa turned her head to the adobe house, and the old woman trotted quickly towards the adobe house with unsteady steps.
"Oops!" suddenly came the scream, like a stick on the child's head, and the whole person shook suddenly, and then ran quickly towards the adobe house.
"Grandma, grandma, are you okay?" the child lifted the old woman who fell to the ground, and kept checking whether the old woman was injured, but fortunately her leg was knocked on the door frame, and there was no hard object on the ground, so her leg was only slightly swollen.
"Alas, grandma is really useless, this little thing can't be done!" the old grandmother looked at her legs, which were already visibly swollen, and began to beat her legs with her fists.
"Don't do this, Grandma!" the child quickly stopped, and then hugged the old woman and began to cry again.
"My little flame, cry, cry!" the old woman put her arms around the child's body as much as she could, patted the child's body lightly with the other, and rubbed her cheek against the child's head, like a mother coaxing her restless child to sleep.
Gradually, the child's crying slowly subsided, and the trembling of the body slowly stopped, but the body continued to shake in sleep.
"Dad, mother, the child is very well-behaved, very well-behaved..."
At this time, seeing that only her grandmother and grandson were left in the adobe house, even if the grandmother didn't know what was going on, she probably didn't guess much.
"What a good child!" Seeing that the child was frowning slightly even in his sleep, the old grandmother's face was full of pity.
"Huh!"
The little goat looked at the child who was slowly calming down, and nested on the child's legs, not forgetting to rub the child's trouser legs.
The old woman tried to put the quiet child on the kang, but the pain in her legs and feet made it impossible for her to stand upright, let alone hold the child.
"Alas, it's really old!" In the end, the old woman gave up the struggle, but her arms around the child did not let go for a moment.
And just like that, the sad night passed quietly.
Oh!
The rooster in the early morning still got up very early, and began to perform his duties early, which also opened the beginning of thousands of households.
Yes!
The old woman's loose eyelids opened little by little, and her mouth yawned. Everything that happened last night also made this old man unbearable.
But the first thing the old man opened his eyes was to touch his arms.
"Well, it's quite soft!" It seems that the soft feel is very comfortable, and the grandmother touched it a few more times, but gradually felt that something was wrong, and increased the strength of her hand a lot, and suddenly pressed it empty.
"Little flame, well, what about small flame? Little flame, little flame..." The old grandmother's hand felt empty, and suddenly the whole person tensed, and kept calling for small flames. Even though his legs and feet were inconvenient, he stiffly straightened up, and the quilt on his body slipped to the ground.
Just as he was about to walk out of the adobe house to look for the child, a small figure suddenly walked through the door.
"Grandma, why are you up?" At this time, the child was holding a bundle of firewood in his hand, and when he saw such a scene, he quickly threw the firewood to the ground, supported his small shoulders under the palm of the old grandmother's hand, and the child was followed by a small goat and rubbed the old woman's trouser legs.
"Good boy, good boy, really good boy!" the old woman touched the child's head, her eyes were already filled with tears at this time, but her face was full of happy smiles.
"Huh!"
The little goat was very dissatisfied with the grandmother's partiality and called out in dissatisfaction.
"Okay, you're good!" said the old woman, who touched the little goat's head, and the little thing immediately began to rejoice in the house.
Helping the grandmother to do it on the kang, Lie picked up the firewood on the ground, put it next to the stove, poured water into the pot, lit a fire, added firewood, and the flame gradually became more and more vigorous from the small flames, and finally the whole stove burned the children's red fire.
"Daddy, no matter where you are, the child will find you!" Looking at the more and more vigorous small flames in the stove, the child couldn't help but think of his father's name for himself when he looked at the lights that were flickering and flickering, and also thought of his father's expectations for his children as the flames became more and more vigorous, and never stopped.
I also remembered the scene where my mother accidentally burned her hair while sewing clothes for herself under the lamplight.
These two pictures flashed over and over again among the children and boys, and gradually ignited a fire in their hearts, and the children's hearts seemed to gradually have a temperature, and finally slowly became hot.
"The child will not believe that you will abandon the child, you wait for the child, and the child will find you even if he travels to the ends of the earth!" The child's face was no longer the weakness of last night, and there was only perseverance.
After a while, the stove was steaming, and the whole room gradually became warmer.
······
"Come, grandma!" the child handed the steaming yellow rice to the old grandmother, and the smile was restored to her face.
There was also a little goat in the house.
"It's worthy of the child I delivered, and it's worthy of grandma's little flame!"
