In late autumn, the weather is not too cold, but there is still a slight chill in the early morning. At this time, the sun had risen, and the light of the rising sun fell on the old woman's shabby body, and she felt refreshed. She staggered down the hill.

There is a grain hidden in the broken silver, which is to be saved into a whole and used by Feng'er to marry his daughter-in-law in the future. There was also a copper coin that she had exchanged for, which had almost been spent, and a small pocket was left to tie around the waistband of her trousers. In addition to buying some daily necessities of oil, salt, tea and pepper, a few catties of pork, a few chicks, and a large amount of bamboo and rice on his back. Although the weight was a little heavy, the thought of seeing her beloved son made the old woman grit her teeth and slowly moved forward.

A small hillside can be seen in the distance, and here are only a few homes on the edge of Castle Peak Town. Because it is far from the town and there is no water source around, life is too inconvenient, so the people who live here are helpless and poor.

"Bypass this bend and you'll be home, hold on!"

The old woman was secretly cheering, and her back was like a mountain pressing down, and it was very difficult for her to breathe. The curse of the dragon's beard began to manifest, and she wiped the sweat from her forehead, gritted her teeth and continued to move forward.

Just as she was dizzy and wanted to sit down and rest for a while, a small black dot suddenly appeared in the distance. The spot looked left and right on the hillside, seemed to have noticed something, and ran over at a rapid speed.

"Mother......

A teenager came galloping with a kettle. He had long black hair and a sturdy build. The wind stroked the wisps of black silk, and on the coldly shaved melon seed face, there were a pair of bright eyes. The soft sunlight shone on the bridge of his resolute nose, and he couldn't help but show an innocent smile when he saw his mother.

"Mother, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Qianfeng jumped beside her, and the child's natural curiosity made him can't help but look around to see what is in the bamboo luo.

"Silly boy, don't stay in the house on such a cold day, add to the chaos. The old woman's loving hands ran to his hair, and then she lifted the kettle......

"Gollum, Gollum. "Clear water flows down the throat, bringing a refreshing sound.

"Lele! help mom carry things. Qianfeng snapped his fingers, and a big yellow earth dog rushed up from behind.

It snuggled at the old woman's feet, rubbing its furry ears against the cuffs of its trousers, showing affection. After a while, it jumped to the side and yelled at her. As he screamed, he turned around and cocked his ass. It's like saying, come on, I'm ready, throw things up.

"Mom, leave the package on Lele. ”

"Nonsense! How can such a valuable thing be put on a dog? ”

The old woman clutched the package, there was alchemy related to Feng'er's future. She looked at Zhuluo, then took out a cloth bag containing daily spices and gently placed it on Lele's body.

"Oh~ Mom brought something good! I don't even believe Lele!" Qianfeng suddenly grabbed Zhuluo and carried it on his back. The strength is amazing, and I can't see the immaturity that a teenager should have. Then he snapped his fingers again, and the earth dog wagged his tail and ran with him down the hill.

"Lele, aren't you angry? Mom doesn't believe you. Let's go, let's go! Hehe~ Hehe......" A string of crisp laughter echoed in the valley, and even the birds stopped singing.

"This kid is getting naughty and naughty. The old woman burst out laughing. But as soon as the laughter caused her chest to strain, she suddenly chuckled, and a stream of hot air rushed upward. She hurriedly covered her mouth and nose with a square cloth, and secretly took it closer to see that the white cloth strips were oozing bright red blood.

"Oh no! Dragon's beard grass is starting to get into trouble, and we need to hurry home. ”

She quickened her pace, she had been too long in the pharmacy today. Fortunately, I brought back a book, and Feng'er's future depends on it in the future. Thinking of this, the uncomfortable feeling seemed to ease again, and there was a trace of blood on her pale face.

Climb up the hill and suddenly see what you see. It is a dilapidated thatched hut with a small area, and when you put down two beds and a table, it looks very crowded. A straw hut was erected outside the hut, and the stove and pots and pans were neatly arranged. Outside the house, there are several wastelands, and in the fields there are rows of white radish, autumn eggplant, and green vegetables. Lush and full of life.

The old woman staggered open the door and entered, but there was no one in the room. She didn't think about where Qianfeng went, and collapsed on the bed while leaning against the wall.

This feeling was so uncomfortable that my stomach was tumbling and my head was cracking, as if I was about to die.

She put the quilt over her body, and the bits and pieces of the past came to her mind. Every time she was in this state of being in this worldly state, she would reminisce. When I think of Feng'er's birth, I will smile happily. When she thinks of that gambler, the man who ruined the whole family, her heart aches faintly......

She didn't hate him, and she didn't blame anyone. Maybe everything is predestined. It's just that the old woman doesn't deliberately sketch that outline, and even turns her head to force herself not to think about it!

But in the end, the dream still shows the scene of a family of three running on a vast field full of rape flowers. They strolled hand in hand, and children chased butterflies in the wind.

That scene flashed in my mind, and a row of bitter tears slowly flowed from the corners of my eyes on the pillow......

"Mother, why are you crying?"

She opened her eyes, and Feng'er was sitting on the edge of the bed. There is a faint pine oil lamp lit in the room, and the soft yellowing light fills the whole room, making people feel extremely warm and peaceful.

"Feng'er, my mother is fine. Maybe too tired, take a break and you'll be fine. The old woman felt much better than before, at least she didn't feel uncomfortable all over her body. She looked around, this small room, very strange. Except for the bed and the table, there is no more treasure in the mouth of the king's shopkeeper. What kind of divine power did it restore her damaged body? Could it be that it was emanating from Feng'er's body? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but grasp the alchemy technique that she put beside her.

"Mother, don't move if you're not feeling well. I just went to fetch water, so I came back late. I'll go get you a bowl of noodles. ”

"No! Mother is not hungry. The old woman grasped his hand tightly, and then sat up with great difficulty.

"I want to tell you something, can you listen to it?"

"Hmm. Qianfeng nodded obediently.

The old woman gently took her son's collar with her hand and smoothed them all neatly. "Feng'er, your father went too early, leaving only our mother and son to rely on each other. And you are also competitive, you have tasted the warmth and coldness of people at such a young age, you can be self-reliant, and you can take care of your family. ”

"Why have I never seen my father, what did he do before?" asked Qianfeng.

The old woman was startled, but quickly regained her composure. She hesitated for a moment, then continued. "Feng'er, it doesn't matter what my father did before, what matters is what you want to do in the future?

"Mother, I don't have a dream, I just want to be by your side every day. ”

After hearing these words, the old woman's heart was half cold. But she was still unwilling, so she lectured. "Feng'er, you have to grow up. A good man has ambitions in all directions, and it is impossible to stay in his mother's arms for the rest of his life. What if one day, I'm gone?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the old woman suddenly became nervous. She felt a little too much, too much. After all, it was only a fifteen-year-old child sitting in front of her.

But it was still too late, Qianfeng looked at her stupidly, didn't move, and finally tears rolled down from her eyes. The tears fell mercilessly into the sheets, but he did not cry, and there was no expression on his face.

It's so counterintuitive, and no one can be so calm if they shed tears. But he controlled it, knowing that it was just a child.

What was even more surprising was that the tears were still falling as always, but Qianfeng's tone did not change, and he was not a little excited, as if the emotional nerves on his face had failed, and it had nothing to do with him.

"If you're gone, take me with you!"
