The day will break.

The old man woke up as he was customary, lit a candle in the dark, and sat on the edge of the bed for a while.

The hawthorn has been skewered last night, and there are fifty bamboo sticks.

The sugar was put in the pot, and it was almost boiled into a pulp, and when I came back, I had to go to the market and buy some more sugar.

Firewood, yes, you have to collect some firewood today, otherwise it won't be enough for tomorrow.

It should be near the Splendid Pavilion today, there are a lot of people, and it should be sold out.

I don't know if the kid will come again, he seems to like to be on the street of Qingming Building, so he will also go around twice.

The old man thought about it, and couldn't help but feel good, got up and packed up his things, opened the door and prepared to go out to boil sugar.

When the door opened, I saw a pale hand hanging on the threshold.

The old man's breath was stagnant, and he was almost frightened, but when he looked closely, he couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart.

"Xiaofeng, how are you ...... Little wind!"

He hurriedly stepped forward to help the young man, but when he saw the young man's face, he stumbled and fell, and his face turned white in an instant.

The young man's face was now covered with blood, and it was no exaggeration to describe it as bleeding from the seven orifices.

......

In front of the orange fragrance garden in the northeast corner of the lost city, a reader was standing at this time.

The reader's face was gloomy.

It was the first time he had experienced it after being tricked around all night.

The boy had been surprising him.

It's just that this is not the capital that he can act willfully and recklessly.

The reader looked at the gradual whiteness of the fish belly in the east, and his face became more and more ugly.

"Does it work?" he said indifferently, his figure disappearing in an instant.

......

In a small medical hall called Jishitang, the old doctor sitting in the clinic is checking the pulse of a bloodless teenager.

He felt the young man's pulse for a long time, but he never spoke.

"How's it going?" asked the old man next to the old man, nervously.

The old doctor glanced at the old man, "Lao Zhang, whose family is this child?"

The old man rubbed his hands, a little cramped, "What's wrong?"

"I know that Xiao Cheng's matter is a pimple, but where did you pick up this child and send it back, this kindness is accepted. "The old doctor is straightforward.

The old man's face darkened suddenly, "Why?"

"There's only one breath left, I can't save it. The old doctor scratched his head.

"Doctor Li, don't, take a look again, this kid was fine yesterday, and he went with me to see the hawthorn forest, many people have seen it, take a look again, look at ......" The old man was anxious all of a sudden.

"Lao Zhang...... Lao Zhang, don't get excited. The old doctor hurriedly reassured, "Take a deep breath, take a deep breath." ”

The old man sat on the ground, "You save him, I finally have a hope, you say so, I will die directly." ”

The old doctor grabbed the young man's hand and gave it to the old man, "I'm not a fairy, if you touch it, the gas is almost gone, how can I save it?"

The old man held his head and scratched his head with both hands.

"Where did you get it?" asked the old doctor, who also sat on the ground, patiently.

"I don't know. The old man said sullenly, "As soon as I woke up, he was at the door of my house." ”

The old doctor frowned, "You said, this kid went to the hawthorn forest with you yesterday?"

"He learned how to make sugar gourds with me, so I took him to see them. The old man bowed his head and said.

The old doctor narrowed his eyes and patted the old man on the shoulder, "You tell me about this kid, maybe I can give you some ideas." ”

The old man glanced at the old doctor, "A few days ago, I was selling sugar gourds, so I wanted to see it, so I looked twice at the corridor where Xiao Cheng was gone, and saw that the baby was sleeping." ”

"I was thinking that if my family was Xiaocheng and someone guarded it, it wouldn't be gone, and I was afraid that this baby would also be taken away, so I wanted to call him up. ”

"But the baby didn't know me, I was afraid of scaring him, there happened to be a sugar gourd left, so I took a sugar gourd to call him, and by the way gave him the sugar gourd, he also gave me a copper plate, saying that it was a gift, at that time I thought, how sensible this baby is. ”

"After that, he called grandpa every time he saw me, and he liked to eat sugar gourds like Xiao Cheng, you know......" The old man covered his face and sobbed a little.

"Yes, yes. The old doctor hurriedly patted the old man on the back and comforted him.

The old man snorted and choked up, "I thought, if this baby can come often, just keep it like this, just let me look at it twice, I feel that this day, there is hope, and there is energy to make sugar gourds all day long." ”

"Two days ago, this baby met me again in the morning, there was no expression on his face at that time, but somehow, I saw that I was worried, so I asked him, what's wrong, he said, he was hungry and had a stomachache. ”

"I know it's definitely not a stomachache, but the baby doesn't want to say, I don't ask, so that people don't annoy me, I bought him a bun, and ate it like a kitten, a small bite, at that time, I felt that my heart was hot, just like Xiao Cheng came back. ”

"I told him about Xiao Cheng, but he didn't react, such a small person, you can't expect people to understand, right?"

"I took him to drink a bowl of porridge, and he gave me five copper plates, I don't want it, such a good baby, who wants to take his money, but you don't see how bright his eyes are, I don't think the moon in the sky is as good as it, I can't say it, I will accept it." ”

"Then yesterday, he asked me to learn how to make sugar gourds, I was stunned, and I went home in a daze, and I didn't obey the call of my hands and feet at that time, so I felt that God must have opened my eyes. ”

"This baby is smart, it's going to be done twice, it's his brother, no matter what, people can't kiss him, the baby doesn't smile at him, the two of them don't look like each other at all. ”

The old doctor narrowed his eyes and interrupted, "Wasn't he himself before?

"In the past, the baby was alone, I was worried, so I kept saying that I would let the adults follow, and yesterday he took his brother along. The old man paused.

The old doctor thought for a while, "You say, did his family also feel that he was hopeless, and his brother just wanted to throw him away yesterday, so he lost him?"

"Nonsense!" the old man was furious, "there is such a ruthless person, is it still a human being?"

The old doctor touched the saliva on his face, "That's the kid who ran out on his own, he made up his mind to run to you yesterday, so he went with you to learn sugar gourd." ”

"Why?" said the old man, wiping his face.

"His family treats him badly, you look at his body, what's the matter, he's been staying up for three or five years, and he didn't look for you in the morning, and he didn't look for you in the evening, why did he come yesterday and brought a brother, and the most important thing is that he didn't kiss that brother, didn't he?" the old doctor swore an oath.

The old man scratched his head, "So, can't let his brother find him?"

"There's only one breath left, and if you find it, you might be able to save it. The old doctor shook his head and said, "Do you know where his brother lives, send it back to someone." ”

The old man pursed his mouth and did not speak.

"Lao Zhang, dead and alive, think about it yourself, that is, he is really Xiaocheng, are you willing to watch him die like this?"

The old man still didn't speak.

At this moment, the curtain was lifted all at once.

The two old men looked up.

A grim-faced reader walked in from outside.
