Chapter 6 Atu Leaves Home
With the night on the last bite of food, impartial and full just right, after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and in no mood to do anything more, after all, I suddenly knew something that was difficult to digest for a lifetime, no matter how good my mood was, it also took some time to adjust, I didn't turn on the light, I didn't take off my clothes, I just lay down quietly, closed my eyes slightly, breathed quickly and slowly, and definitely didn't fall asleep, but what was he thinking, maybe there would be no second person except him who knew.
At this time, it was the height of summer, and the night was also sultry, and the night was late, and the light in my aunt's room went out at some point, and the night was like a lover wrapping everything that the day had experienced with endless tenderness.
When the dawn first appeared in the east, looking at the lips of the day and the night, it seemed that they were unwilling to part, but under the merciless urging of the first ray of dawn, although they were reluctant, they still went their separate ways with tears.
The sleepy minister heard the noise in the courtyard, turned over and frowned, and looked at the alarm clock at the bedside with sleepiness.
I thought it was too late, it was only six o'clock, and the college entrance examination was going to be taken today, so couldn't we let people sleep a little longer? Although he complained a lot in his heart, he still rubbed his sleepy eyes, sat on the bed and stretched, and gradually became sleepy and retreated to occupy this body, and he wanted to know what was going on, and it was not peaceful early in the morning.
Walking out of the bedroom, through the dining hall, and out of the door, the whole picture of the courtyard appeared in Xiao Chen's field of vision.
I saw a woman dressed as a peasant woman in the courtyard, she was wearing a red turban, her body looked a little bloated, because of the destruction of time, so that the uneven face did not come and added a little wrinkles, if you want to use one word to evaluate her face, it must be simple, at this moment her eyes are full of anxiety, her face looks a little pale, her voice is small and crying, affectionate and wooden, as if she has been stimulated by something,,,,,,
As we got closer, I vaguely heard my aunt say, "Ah Tu hasn't been here, and we don't know where he went." Don't worry, let's go to the loudspeaker of the village committee and ask the neighbors to help find it. ”
Her sloppy eyes suddenly condensed, as if she had found a life-saving straw after listening to her aunt's words.
This woman is the mother of her good brother Atu, Xiaochen calls her aunt on weekdays, and she doesn't ask about her surname, she just thinks that her aunt is kind, honest and honest, not embarrassed by others, and doesn't talk much on weekdays, but she is really good to herself, just like treating relatives, which makes Longchen, who has not been taken care of by his mother since he was a child, feel warm.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you being in such a hurry?" asked the minister with a puzzled expression. Seeing Xiao Chen, the so-called aunt in his mouth seemed to have found someone to talk to, and tears rippled.
"Oh, courtier, this conscience-stricken baby, take your forehead one by one, regardless of your forehead, how can you let one person live?" the woman complained to the minister in the local dialect.
Xiao Chen's original stunned face disappeared in an instant, as if he knew what was going on, he knew it, but on the surface he still pretended not to know anything.
"Auntie, didn't you leave anything behind when Ah Tu left?" Xiao Chen deliberately asked, if he looked closely, there seemed to be something unknown in the peach blossom eyes.
From her continuous tears, she knew the status of Ah Tu in her heart, and while wiping her tears, she took out a crumpled piece of paper from her arms and put it in front of the authentic minister.
"Courtier, look at it, the drops written on the paper are sprinkled? ”
The minister took the crumpled piece of paper, and the handwriting on the paper was exactly what Ah Tu had written.
I won't take the college entrance examination, what level am I, I have a B number in my heart, I want to go out and see the world, go outside to make a name, if I don't have the face to come back, don't worry about my mother, son, kowtow.
Unfilial son Atu
Looking at this piece of paper, Long Chen thought for a long time, and didn't know how to tell the aunt in front of him, he sighed that Ah Tu's action was so fast, he just mentioned this matter to himself yesterday morning, and the night's work disappeared.
If she had to tell her about it, she would have been in tears all day, even if it was exaggerated. As soon as he thought of crying, Long Chen immediately had an idea in his heart.
"Auntie, Ah Tu heard that there is a miracle doctor in the county, he saw that your eyes have been bad, and he wants to ask if the miracle doctor can cure you, but he may not be able to come back for a while, auntie, you should wait at home first! Maybe you will come back tomorrow." ”
The woman was skeptical, as if she had something to say, but seeing a slight smile on the corner of Long Chen's mouth, as if she had accepted this explanation, she paced away, saying that the vegetable garden at home still needed to be watered and went back.
Looking at the back of her leaving, her steps were faltering, as if she was lacking in spirit, one hand naturally drooped, and the other hand stayed in the part of her eyes, no need to guess, she must be wiping her tears again.
Long Chen's heart hurts, he shouldn't deceive a mother who regards her child as the root of his life, he wants to chase her out and tell her the truth of the matter, but he feels like his feet are sticky, and he can only watch her drift away.
