Retrograde fairy way

On this day, on the edge of Cangwu Mountain, in the dilapidated courtyard to the east of the small mountain village, a special guest lived in.

When a ray of sunlight in the morning passed through the somewhat dilapidated window and hit the head of the bed, under the patched quilt, the long object wrapped in white-gray cloth strips suddenly made a dull sound.

"Ah, oh, uh!" Listening to his voice, the strip-shaped object was actually a person. It was hard to imagine how much it would hurt to be bandaged like this!It's almost like a mummy.

There was only a gap left in the bandage, and the eyes could barely be seen, and the eyes were opened several times with difficulty during the trembling. From the shaking of the patched but still clean bedding, it can be seen that the 'mummy' is undergoing What pain.

It took a long time for the 'mummy' to slowly struggle to get up, and the broken bed board made a dissatisfied 'creak' sound, as if the usual getting up was embarrassing and burdensome.While his head was dizzy, a glare of sunlight shot into his mind, leaving only one thought.

"I'm still alive!" Before he had time to look at the surrounding environment, he fell back on the bed in a throbbing pain in his head, and faintly heard "啪啦" in his mind, "Grandpa, wake up, wake up" followed by a rush The sound of footsteps plunged into darkness.

When the 'mummy' moved again, it was already sunset.At this time, it was dinner time.The 'mummy' got up slowly. Although it was difficult to move, she was obviously much more energetic than in the morning. At least she was able to turn her head covered with cloth strips and see her environment clearly.

Looking at the situation on his body, he made a slight movement, and his whole body twitched slightly. The pain in his body seemed to turn a wry smile into a luxury.In the dim light, the goal is a small room with earthen walls, with a few old bows and arrows and machetes hanging on the dark gray walls.

The oil lamp emitting a faint light is placed on a simple low wooden table, on which there is a young girl with croissant braids lying on her stomach. She is about seven or eight years old, and she is whispering in her sleep. From time to time, he choked on the saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth.

Next to it was an old kettle, a few chipped white porcelain bowls and a wooden spoon.Seeing this, it is not difficult to imagine that this little girl was standing in front of the bed with a water bowl in his coma, feeding herself little by little.

Thinking of the sweet spring in the coma as if he was in a sea of ​​fire, the indifferent eyes of the 'mummy' couldn't help flashing a touch of tenderness, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, but the flash was fleeting.It was this slight movement that made the "mummy" twitch all over, and the feeling of being burned in a coma came to his heart, and it was a dry cough. "Cough cough cough!"

Perhaps it was the sound that woke up the little girl who was sleeping on the table. After rubbing her eyes in a daze, she was startled when she saw the "'mummy' who got up.

"Ah!" There was an exclamation, and after seeing the situation clearly, there was another crisp cry: "Wake up, wake up, grandpa, wake up!"

Before the 'mummy' could speak, he jumped and ran out of the house.Seeing the scene of this little girl shouting innocently, anyone with that thin body will feel a little warm in their hearts!Just listening to the little girl's words, I really don't know whether she is talking about the 'mummy' waking up, or grandpa waking up.

After a while, I heard footsteps and the voice of "Grandpa hurry up".

The 'mummy' looked up, and with the faint light, he saw the old man who lifted the curtain and entered. He was dressed in a shabby short suit, with white hair all over his head, a face of vicissitudes, and a slightly arched back. The years have left an indelible mark on the old man.Holding a small black porcelain basin in his hand, he walked towards the table.

"Son, you're awake, have some porridge later." Seeing the 'mummy' waking up, the old man said softly with concern in his eyes.

child?What a sweet title. "Boy Wang Mo, thank you for saving me!" This person was none other than Wang Mo who was injured and jumped into the river to escape. He was seriously injured and unconscious, drifting with the tide.Fortunately, the children who went to play by the river found out that because of Niuniu's kindness and persistence, they dragged Wang Mo back home regardless of his frightening injuries.A hoarse voice sounded, matching his attire and touching his wound while talking, accompanied by bursts of inhalation sounds, how scary it was.

"Hehe, it wasn't me, the old man, who rescued you. It was my Niu Niu and a few kids who found you by the river and carried you back to the village. You just woke up and your body is weak. Stop talking and drink porridge first. Let's talk after we have a rest." The old man found that the 'mummy' was inconvenient to speak, remembering the scary injury when he was brought back, he hurriedly said.

"En." Wang Mo nodded slightly, he knew his own situation, and it was really inappropriate to do more actions at this time, thinking in his heart that he didn't know how long he had been in a coma, but judging from the degree of weakness of his body, he should have been in a coma for a long time.

After a while, Wang Mo heard the sound, looked up, and saw the old man put a bowl of porridge in the hands of the little girl named Niuniu, beckoning her to feed Wang Mo the porridge.Niu Niu looked at the porcelain basin with expectant eyes, and under the stern eyes of the old man, she looked up at the "poor" Wang Mo, and she had to endure her persistent protest and walked towards him.

"I'll do it myself, hiss." Seeing Wang Mo's inconvenience, Niu Niu burst into laughter, staring at her big bright eyes, as if angry, she didn't answer, but put the porridge in a spoon, He took a deep breath and handed it to Wang Mo's mouth.

"Hehe!" The old man also laughed cheerfully!Perhaps it was to cover up the embarrassment caused by this good-natured laughter.Wang Mo lowered his head and quickly drank the porridge in the spoon. Maybe he was so hungry after not eating for a long time. He drank four bowls of mushy porridge in a row. hunger.It wasn't until Wang Mo went to serve porridge for the fifth time that he realized that the food bowl had bottomed out. He couldn't help touching his stomach, and tears fell from his mouth.

After all, he is a child, he doesn't know how to hide his thoughts at all, his happiness and worries are all shown on his face.Looking at Niuniu's slightly twitching shoulders, Wang Mo realized the situation belatedly. Thinking of the environment of this family, these might be the last rations for their grandparents and grandsons.

Wang Mo looked at the old man with embarrassment, and saw the old man cast a reassuring look at him, and said to Niu Niu: "Come on, Niu Niu, eat." Wiping his cheeks, he stopped the tears, looked at his grandpa's kind face and said sensiblely: "Grandpa eats, Niuniu is not hungry."

"Nonsense, you haven't eaten all afternoon, how can you not be hungry? Be good, girl." The old man said in a stern and soft voice.

"Niu Niu is really not hungry." Seeing Niu Niu still trying to defend herself, the old man lowered his face and said, "You are growing up, you can't be hungry. Grandpa has already eaten just now, eat quickly!" Niu Niu didn't believe it, and he also knew that his little granddaughter loved him.

"Really?" After all, it was a child, not so thoughtful. Seeing the way grandpa nodded, the little girl picked up the bowl and drank it, obviously very hungry.The old man looked at his granddaughter who was obviously starving kindly, with a flash of distress in his eyes.

"Uncle" looked at the amicable grandparent and grandson, guilt, memory, and sadness flashed in Wang Mo's eyes. I really don't know how people's eyes can change so much in an instant.

Seeing Wang Mo's expression, the old man waved his hand and said, "Son, you've already called me uncle, can I, a bad old man, ignore your meal?" The old man laughed with a hearty "hehe".Wang Mo stared deeply at the old man's hearty face, as if it was about to be imprinted in his mind, thousands of words seemed to be melted away in this laughter!

And the little girl, who was sitting and struggling with her job, didn't realize the tricks between her grandfather and this unexpected guest at home, but put all her thoughts on the bowl in front of her that had been licked clean.

Looking at this scene, the old man's eyes flashed a look of distress and embarrassment, as if he was distressed by his granddaughter's hungry portrait, and also felt uneasy because he couldn't give the guests a full meal because of the guests at his home. It shows the simple and kind attitude of the old man.Wang Mo saw all these in his heart, but at this moment, he was powerless to change anything.

After dinner, the old man stopped Wang Mo who wanted to say something, let him have a good rest, and then pulled Niuniu, who was obviously a little tired, to turn around and leave the house.

Helpless and exhausted, Wang Mo stared at the backs of the kind-hearted grandparents, supported his frail body as if he could fall asleep at any time, struggled into a breath-adjusting posture, and began to check his body's condition.
