The sun set, the cold moonlight hung in the sky, and there was a little dull atmosphere in the small grass hut. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"During the day, Dad just thought about it casually and said, don't take it to heart, just be a dad suddenly stupid, just can't see you suffer...."

"My daughter knows.... Dad is actually worried about Fleur, but it's also for my good. ”

The moonlight spilled into the simple room, there was an insect chirping in the corner, the father and daughter each had a small bed made of hay, Qinghui fell on the woman's face, and she did not sleep, but lowered her eyes, her eyes were clear: "..... It's just that when my daughter heard about getting married or something, she felt very stuffy, as if there was a stone blocked there, and she felt a slight pain. ”

On the other side, in the dark corner, the old face in the black was stunned, "Is there someone in my daughter's heart..... Or can't remember that there was a person. ”

"I don't know..... The daughter doesn't know...."On the straw couch, the woman's head swayed again and again, ".... It always seems like there is a name in my heart.... But I just can't remember who it is and what it's called.... Sometimes in my dreams, I can see a little shadow, I can hear a little voice, I am calling Madame..."

The air cooled, the cold moonlight, and two lines of water stains rolled down from the corners of the eyes, wetting the grass pillows.

The sadness came inexplicably....... As if it belonged to her, it seemed to belong to another person.

Although she thought clearly, she couldn't suppress the sour discomfort in her heart after all, she has always been strong, very strong, never crying in front of others, these are the voices in her dreams that tell her, if you want to live, you have to be strong.

The bright crescent moon hung on the treetops, there were insects crawling over the window frames, shadows were cast on the ground, Hibiscus curled on the couch, her arms covered her face, her mouth cried silently, and in her consciousness, she felt that that person-

It must be very strong, very difficult to live.

......

There was a slight cough, and then someone sighed.

“.... Dad shouldn't tell you this, and you're tired and sad, if you really have such a person in your heart, when things happen here, Dad will take it to her.... is a good person, crying is distressing. ”

In the eyes of those who have come into contact with him, Zhou Tong gives people a different impression, strict teacher, stubborn, upright, conservative, righteous, etc., but he has never shown a look at this moment, which is even more surprising, like a kind old father.

In the moonlight, the woman's figure rolled there quietly, without movement, as if asleep.

There was a silence for a while, and finally a crisp voice rang out over there.

"The mountain is so big.... I can't finish it... It's even bigger out there, and I can't remember where I'm from..... I'm a little scared when I get outside...."

The dull atmosphere in the room was only somewhat relieved at the moment when the words sounded, the old man's body sat up, looked at the window without a window frame, looked at Qinghui, and the old voice said from the darkness: "The sky is round, no matter how big the world is, there is a time to finish, and if you are really married, your husband's house should be near Bianliang, it is not difficult to find, Bianliang can't be found, let's go north, south, little by little, we can always find it." ”

"Sleep.... As long as you have the heart, you can always find it. The old man comforted her twice, and the words in his heart were finished.

In the black, the woman let out a simple 'um'.

Above the sky, the scarce stars were dim, and the moonlight was getting brighter and brighter.

Outside the house, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, walking in a hurry, but it was very messy, Zhou Tong raised his head slightly, and heard the sound of a hurried knock on the door.

"Master Zhou, help..... It's going to kill someone. ”

The voice screamed anxiously, and Fleur heard who the person outside the house was, and quickly got up and opened the ventilated wooden door, it was the old woman from Aunt Niu's house.

"Mama, what's wrong?"

"Your aunt Niu suddenly fell seriously ill, she was fine during the day, but she suddenly fell ill at night. ”

Zhou Tong put on his coat and came out, and when he heard the old woman's words, he frowned, stepped forward, got off the eaves, and walked quickly to the thatched house without saying a word.

The moment he entered the door, Zhou Tong immediately covered his mouth and nose, and shouted at Fu Rui who followed behind: "Don't come in....."

The woman who followed behind her smelled a foul stench just by standing outside the door, and by the moonlight she saw the woman moaning in confusion on the straw couch not far away, and there were several places where vomiting filth was emitting a stench.

When Fleur heard the old man's words, she pulled the old woman to stop at the door and looked inside worriedly: "Dad.... Aunt Niu, how is she.... I saw her shaking... It looks like it's cold.... Still talking nonsense...."

Shiver.... Confusion .... Crying out for pain from time to time, Zhou Tong had a bad premonition, and hurriedly squatted down, regardless of the defense of men and women, he touched the pulse, and his brows wrinkled even more.

Then he opened the woman's eyes, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she hurriedly withdrew, closed the wooden door, turned back to the old woman, and asked, "Has her illness only appeared tonight?"

Under the eaves, the old woman saw the angry figure on the opposite side, and she trembled, "It's not.... Actually, it was there last night.... She said it might be cold...."

Zhou Tong took two steps back and forth, clenching his fists tightly, but with his back behind his back, afraid that his daughter would see something, ".... What did she eat before the onset of the disease.... You have to remember it!"

"Eaten.... I have eaten...."The old woman is also anxious, after all, she is old, her memory is not good, and she was forced by Zhou Dong, and she couldn't remember it for a long time.

After a while, Fleur on the side suddenly said, "During the day.... Aunt Niu said to eat some meat, I didn't go, could it be that she ate some meat...."

"Ahh

Over there, the old woman remembered, "It's a mouse.... She eats two rats .... I remember. ”

Standing in the moonlight, Zhou Tong clenched his teeth, and his voice was difficult to say, "... Trouble, it's the plague. ”

The old woman was still talking at this time.

"She said.... She picked it up near a creek two or three miles away from the village that day, but she didn't say which side it was, and when she came back, I still saw that her face was not good.... After a long time, I found a lot of dead people and flies flying by the stream..... The rats crawled everywhere, but the dead couldn't eat them, so Ajuan caught two mice and came back, and asked if they could eat them...."

As she spoke, the old woman suddenly burst into tears, "..... I'm old, and I deserve to starve to death, just like that bit of meat, where is there enough for two people to eat.... It's all left to Ajuan..."

"Dad...."Fleur's voice choked a little, wiping her tears, ".... Save Aunt Niu. ”

"I can't save it...."

The old man looked at the tearful woman and gritted his teeth: "Notify everyone in the village to gather..... Otherwise, it's too late. ”
