Time is like flowing water, fleeting.

The mother and daughter depend on each other, and the sheep that Qing bought back feed Zhen Wu every day, and she is already one and a half years old.

Zhen Wu, who has just walked steadily, already knows that she is looking for tender grass to feed the sheep every day, and when her mother is busy, Wu often lies down next to the sheep and falls asleep, just like snuggling up to her mother, maybe in her heart, the sheep is also regarded as another mother.

In Zhen Wu's memory, the deepest fear is that his father, who basically doesn't go home, comes back, his eyes are red, and he is crazy to turn around, he shouts and roars at his mother, beating his mother and beating her, she is very afraid, thin as a ghost-like father, in her nightmares, there is often this figure.

Zhen Guang trembled his fingers and pointed at the dancer and shouted hysterically, "Money, you must still have money, otherwise, where did you get the rice? Where did you put the money?"

The dancer made a bitter face, followed behind the crazy Zhen Guang, crying and begging, "No, didn't you take the only ones......?"

Mai was stunned, trembling all over, standing to the side with her mouth open, her face full of tears, she didn't dare to cry loudly, because she cried and was annoyed by Liu, and it would hurt a lot.

"You stinky, every time, you two, aren't ......you living well? Hide it, don't take it out again, look at me...... I won't kill you both".

Zhen was naked, and his fists and feet were "crackling", hitting the dancer who was protecting her daughter tightly.

"No, really not, there has been no rice at home for three days, don't believe it, go and see for yourself, see if there is still a grain of rice?

The dancer cried, and the dancer opened her big tearful eyes, trembling her body, and looked at the hand in front of her in horror

In the past year and a half, Zhen Guang has found a lot of good things from all over the house, including money, jade and pearls, all of which were left behind by Qing Lin, hoping that the dance would be better. This money is enough for a family to live well for more than ten years, but they were all taken by Zhen Guang, and they lost their money and gambling, and Zhen Wujia was destitute and had no rice to cook.

Dance early to hide the goat nurse behind the broken wall, every time the father comes back to make trouble, he has to take away the goat nurse, and in the end it is the mother who is forced to die, so she has not been taken away.

"Paddle goat milkmaid", is the slope of the neighbor Aunt Chen came to visit the house, see the dance directly lying on the sheep, sucking goat milk, the goat dance is also a licking calf affection look, Aunt Chen to the dancer: "Dancer, look, this goat dance, really as their own lamb, really like a "goat milkman"."

The dancer agreed, "Aunt her, who is not? Without this goat, how can the dance ...... can't feed it, it's been starved to death a long time ago, in the end, I still have to thank ...... That's the Taoist chief."

Dance is very close to the goat, remember these words, but also ignorant as a mother, from being able to climb in the yard, learn from the mother's appearance, know to find the freshest grass to feed the goat.

Zhen Guang, who was red-eyed, didn't forget that there were still dairy sheep at home, so he ran around to find it, but still found a hiding place, stretched out his hand to untie the rope, and pulled out the dairy sheep.

"Can't ......"

The dancing milk cried and cried, staggered and reached out to stop it, but was pulled by Zhen Guang, and fell into a big fart squat.

The dancer rushed over like crazy, saw that her hand was bleeding from the stone, and in distress she tore off a piece of cloth from the corner of her clothes, and hastily wrapped it, so she chased after her and grabbed the goat.

The dancer frantically grabbed the rope of the sheep with her father, and shouted, "You can't take it away, how can you live without this sheep......?"

"Hmph, what kind of milk do you drink when you're so old......? What's the use? let go, if you don't let go, I'll kill you......."

"Ahh......h

Wu remembered that his father's fist hit his mother like raindrops, and his mother held the goat, but she didn't let go.

Wu cried and stepped forward, but was knocked down by her father regardless of whether she was closed or not, she couldn't do anything but cry loudly?

In the haze of tears, Wu saw that his father kicked his mother's chest hard.

The mother covered her chest and fell to the ground on her back, her mouth and face were covered with blood, she felt that the bright red blood was so terrifying!

In the end, in the cry of the mother and daughter, Zhen Guang pulled the struggling goat and walked away.

"Sheep, milk, mother......"

The dance and crying are heartbreaking, the goat is her mother, and the goat milk mother is taken away, and she will never see her again. For the first time, Wu felt the heartache of life and death, and her immature cry was tragic and miserable, like a cuckoo crying blood......

She can only drink rice porridge with her mother in clear soup, and then she can only drink wild vegetable porridge, and then she can only drink wild vegetable porridge, and then later, Aunt Chen and Uncle Ji and other villagers are helping and barely survive.

What Wu remembers most clearly is that when she was hungry and dizzy, Brother Niu gave her a white flour cake, she kept half of it for her mother, and the other half ate it in three or two bites, thinking that the white flour cake was the best in the world, and in the future days of dance, I often miss the taste at that time.

When dancing is the time to grow the body, my mother coughs and sighs all day long, and often coughs, and she finally decides to go into the mountains with the villagers to collect medicine and subsidize the family.

Every time my mother enters the mountain, it takes three or four days, and the three-year-old dance is entrusted to Aunt Chen to take care of the second meal.

Wu Bai watched the house alone, and didn't want to stay at Aunt Chen's house at night, because of her mother, let her take a good look at the home, although the house is surrounded by four walls, there is nothing to be afraid of, but Wu feels that she has to take care of it, no matter how bad the home is, it is also a place where she and her mother can shelter from the wind and rain and not be frozen.

The night without the mother is the most feared and difficult time for the dance. The wind howled outside the house, mixed with a few wolf howls. With her mother here, she didn't feel too afraid, but alone in the dark room, she felt creepy.

Wu curled up in the corner of the bed, not daring to fall asleep all night, in the darkness, with big shining eyes, staring at the wind-blown "hulahula" door, silently wiping tears.

Every time my mother comes back, she will bring some wild fruits, and the family can finally eat porridge with more rice.

Mai is hungry and cold, has grown to four years old, she can do almost all the housework, has begun to take care of the mother, often coughing.

Dance is my favorite, my mother tells her stories, and the stories make her feel very interesting.

On a summer night, it was hot and stuffy in the house, and the mother and daughter were lying on the bed sweating and couldn't sleep.

"Dance, let's go outside together, cool and cool"

"Okay!"

Wu was afraid of disturbing her mother's rest, so she didn't dare to move too much, because her mother would go into the mountain with the herb picker early tomorrow morning, and the house was too hot, which was making her feel tormented

The mother will be a broken mat, spread in the yard, the mother sitting, dancing on the mother's lap, looking at the bright moon in the sky, the wind blows gently, and the dance feels cool and comfortable.

"Mother, can you tell me another story?"

"Okay!"

Wu looked at her mother's face, her mother's eyes were big and bright, shining in the moonlight, she looked at it, she had never looked at her mother's face seriously, and praised sincerely: "In my mother's eyes, there are many stars...... It's shining, it's beautiful!".

Stroking Wu's head, the mother coughed a few times and said with a smile: "Wu's mouth...... It's so sweet!".

Seeing that the mother smiled, she felt very happy and interested, "The mother laughed, and it was also beautiful......! How is it?".

The dancer was stunned for a moment, looked at her beautiful daughter, and said, "When I was a mother, I envied my brother the most and wanted to read the most, but the family didn't allow it, so my mother often followed my brother and went to eavesdrop outside the school...... Makes sense. My mother thinks that after reading the book, my heart will be clear and clear, and my mother will insist on marrying a living person, this life?...... Alas......".

The mother coughed violently, and did not go down again, even if she danced, she also understood the meaning of the back.

After a long silence, the dancer sighed and spoke again, "But...... My mother still thinks that reading is right! Wrong...... It's not a book, it's a ...... Person. Alas, my mother is verbose again, my mother is telling stories, and it's the same as before, you have to use your brains...... Think about it, the truth in that".

Only when reading and reasoning can the mother's spirit fly, and the dance later understood that it was the mother's obsession, and it was the mother's obsession that guided her to be obsessed with reading all her life.

"Mother told the story of "Jingwei Reclamation" today, Mother hopes that the dance can be like Jingwei Bird, in the face of bad luck, there is still perseverance and determination, and the story is like this......"

When she woke up on the second day, Mai found that she had slept in bed and her mother was gone.

Third, the mother was carried back by the uncle and the villagers with a shelf, and the mother unfortunately fell into the trap of the hunters, broke her ribs, and also broke her legs.

Looking at the impoverished home, Uncle Ji's face was full of sadness, and he pulled over the mother who was hugging him and cried: "Child, don't cry first, go boil some water, and wipe your mother, Uncle Ji, I'll go to your mother...... Please Lang Zhi.

The mother's life was rescued, but the mother could no longer get out of bed, and the cough became more and more severe.

Wu saw that Uncle Ji and Lang Zhong, who had seen the doctor, whispered, and Uncle Ji's face was very gloomy.
