Chapter 372: Calm, is it so short?


In the following days, I would live in Liu San'er's house to rest.
In the chat with him, I also knew that this place is called Jixiang Village, a small fishing village, just a dozen miles west of Yangzhou City. Although it is remote and poor, the folk customs are very simple, like Liu San'er Such simple and enthusiastic people can be seen everywhere. Even for a stranger like me, I did not have the slightest doubt to resist, but accepted me enthusiastically.
Liu Saner told me that his parents spent most of their lives fishing in this fishing village, but despite the hard work and heavy taxation, they still couldn't breathe. In order to support their families, Liu Saner left Yangzhizhi He went to Yangzhou alone. Before he met me, he always worked in that inn to earn money for his family. It was not long before I left the inn, but his parents were seriously ill. He got out of the inn when he got the news. Workers rushed home to take care of their parents, so they were lucky to escape the plague that year. Unfortunately, his father was gone after all, so he never returned to the inn, stayed in the fishing village to fish, and lived with his sick mother.
This way I also know why he takes care of people so much.
"The previous fish was okay to fight, but in the past two years, there was someone blocking the net over Ren Cheng. We ca n’t catch any big fish here, so I went upstream with a few brothers in the village," he said. , While arranging the fishing nets drying on the wooden frame in the yard, smiled back and said, "It just happened to save you."
I sat under the eaves, looked at him, and smiled.
Sometimes, in addition to fate, between people, there may be some coincidence arranged by heaven.
"I didn't expect that when I was blind, it would bother you so much, and now I would--"
"Hey," he waved his hand in a hurry, interrupting me: "Don't say that. The most precious thing about a person is this life. No one can see it forever."
Looking at his clear eyes, such black and white, I was suddenly speechless.
I lived next to the man with a wealth of people around me, and lived like a gnat. The moment I jumped off the boat, I was relieved and desperate. I was true and didn't take this life seriously.
But this poor man told me that the most precious thing is this life.
Yeah, the ants are still stealing, let alone me?
At that time, why did I get into such a magic barrier?
Thinking of this, the slight sourness in my heart finally turned into a smile on the corner of my mouth, and said to Liu San'er: "Thank you."
"what?"
"You make sense."
He scratched his head and made his hair a little messy, and smiled embarrassedly at me.
Looking up, the light of the setting sun shone obliquely into this small courtyard, cast the shadow of the bamboo fence on the ground, and stretched it out. Several villages already had cooking smoke raised in the village, and some villagers returned for fishing. With several big fishes behind him passing by the door, he waved his hand and said, "Saner, where are you resting today?"
Liu San'er smiled: "Uncle Qing, your harvest is good."
"Fine. I'll go back first."
"Hey."
Listening to this simple and simple dialogue makes people have a different kind of intimacy. I thought to myself, Liu San'er had come in front of me, and stretched out his hand: "Come on, let's go for another walk and eat."
"Ok."
He carefully supported me to stand up and walked slowly around this small yard.
This is the fifth lap today.
As the doctor said before, I hurt my waist and it was not so easy. In the first few days when I woke up, my waist couldn't help me at all. Without Liu Saner's help, I would just lie like a dead person. There, fortunately, he helped me, every day, hands, feet, a few days later the body can finally move slowly.
After that, he often helped me to walk around the small yard and move around, but physically, I had to hang it on his arm almost for a whole few steps. Often he can't walk for a while, just with a lot of sweat, he helped me to sit under the eaves to rest, and the two chatted idlely, and half a day passed.
This time, it's much better than before.
I felt that although I was a little tired, my solid arm supported me and I could walk quite freely.
After this lap, there was still a fine layer of sweat on my forehead. I was rubbing it with my sleeve. Suddenly, I felt that the hand that had been holding my hand was loosened. Turning around, Liu San'er Standing next to me, smiling and saying, "You go for another try."
"...?"
"I think you're almost recovered. I won't help you on this trip, just walk around."
The orange light of the setting sun shone on his dark face, showing a warm feeling, which was already a little tired, but listening to him said that it gave me a lot of strength.
I want to get better too!
So he nodded: "Um."
After that, I turned to look at the small courtyard full of warm evening light, and gritted his teeth, taking the first step.
Without the support of that hand, my knees and ankles felt a softness for a while, and cold sweat swelled down. I took the first step and felt that I had exhausted my whole body strength.
Sure enough, it was still too reluctant.
I used to support his arm and felt it was very hard. Now I have to walk by myself. I'm afraid--
Thinking of this, I can't help but feel timid, just wanting to tell him that I'm not practicing anymore. As soon as I turned around, I saw a dark arm crossing my side.
I froze, looked up, and saw the dark face with a smile: "Don't worry, you go slowly, I'm here. You can't move and then help me."
"..."
I was silent for a moment, didn't speak, just turned back.
Gritted his teeth and stepped again.
.
Early the next morning, Liu Saner came out of the small hut that was temporarily set up in the corner of the yard, saw me at a glance, and froze: "Light girl?"
I leaned against the wall, panting, and looked at him with a smile: "Early."
"You got up so early."
"I want to practice more."
Yesterday, with his help, I walked around the yard by myself. If it wasn't for my hands and feet, I would jump for joy. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep, so I woke up early in the morning to practice walking.
It's "practice makes perfect", and I'm walking more and more smoothly.
He smiled and told me twice, then plunged into the kitchen, and I walked around the yard a few times myself. Although I was sweating, but thought that I didn't have to lie like a dead person, I felt extremely happy, After stepping up a few steps, I couldn't hold it anymore, and flew to the door.
Just then the door was pushed open.
A beautiful face came into view.
When she saw me, she froze, and immediately smiled slightly: "Light girl, you can go."
"Um. Girl Ruta, it's going to trouble you again."
I wiped my sweat and said with a smile.
The beautiful and gentle woman in front of her was called Ruxiang, also a villager of Jixiang Village, living near Liu San'er's house. Since I came to the Liu family, Liu Saner has taken care of everything for me, but after all, there are differences between men and women. There are always things he ca n’t do, such as helping me to bathe and bathe. Ruta girl comes to help.
She has a gentle personality. Although she is not enthusiastic to me, she is still very diligent and careful in her work. I also have a good impression on her.
I cleaned it up in the little stone house, and people were refreshed a lot. I smiled and thanked me and picked up my clothes: "Girl Ruta, I'm really bothering you for a while now. I can move myself now, let me do it myself."
She glanced at me and nodded with a smile: "Yes."
Putting on clothes, she and I came out one after the other, just to see Liu Saner came out of the kitchen with a large pot of fish soup, and when he saw us, he laughed and said, "Ruxiang, you have worked hard. Just when the soup is done, you can drink some too. "
Ruxiang's white face was stained with a touch of redness, and she nodded softly, "Well."
Liu San'er gave us each a bowl of fish soup and brought another bowl into the back room to drink for his mother, and Ruxiang and I sat at the table opposite each other.
She and I didn't have much to say in the end. The atmosphere in the room was a little dull. I only saw her thin, sipping the milky soup in the bowl with a small sip. Although there was no laugh or praise, the eyes flickered. It is clearly the light of happiness.
I smiled slightly.
Some people say that a woman is a natural actress, and she can act best, but in my opinion, there are some things in a woman's body that can't be hidden.
For example, love, and happiness.
For example, pain, and helplessness.
Thinking of this, I drank a sip of fish soup and then couldn't help laughing.
The fish soup was faint and tasteless, and there was some fishy smell. It didn't matter if I swallowed it. If I wanted a bite, the taste would not be so good.
But looking at the little girl across the street, she seemed to be savoring the most delicious delicacies in the world.
Just then, there was a loud noise outside, as if there were many people gathered together and shouting something loud. When listening carefully, it seemed that there were still people arguing. Ruxiang and I heard both of them. After looking at each other, I lowered the bowl and went to see it. Just as Liu Saner came out of the back room, he heard this voice and walked to the door with us.
From a distance, I saw that there seemed to be a lot of people gathered over the village, and I didn't know what I was doing.
Just then, a villager hurried over and said loudly at the gate of the courtyard, "Saner, come here!"
"what happened?"
"Something's wrong, the people of the government are here."
"Ok?"
People in the government? !!
My heart sank suddenly.
These days, living in the Liu family, with all my heart and soul, I almost forgot what kind of suffering I have experienced to get such peace, can it be said that--
He is still looking for me?
Isn't such peace just so short-lived?
