Meet like water like fish

Chapter 9: Hongyan

Pei Shuobing felt the sound of people around him getting dressed, and then watched him cautiously open the door and go out.Hearing the constant snoring in the room, Pei Shuobing smiled helplessly, then put on his clothes and went outside.

Pei Shuobing's footsteps were very light, he didn't want to disturb the boy who was focusing on the moon in front of him.The scenery that greeted his eyes as soon as he went out emptied the little irritability in his heart just now. He sat quietly on the stone bench in front of the door, raised his head slightly to face the moonlight, the corners of his mouth naturally turned up, and the hair on his forehead was blown by the wind, accompanied by the summer night In the summer night, there were cicadas and frogs screaming, and the prince in front of the piano appeared in front of him again that day. Such a picture deeply imprinted on Pei Shuobing's heart, and the heart beat with the blood.

Time has stood still at this moment, and they each admired the most beautiful scenery in their eyes, lingering and forgetting to return.

It was just dawn, and there were sounds of getting up early to work in the village. Fang Tianyu only went back to his room to sleep in the middle of the night. He didn't know that he was admired by Pei Shuobing for most of the night.

Things during the day are actually somewhat procedural, but they are actually normal. The relevant departments have to do something to show their dedication.They brought schoolbags, books, stationery to the students, and interacted with the students in the school. Of course, all of these must be recorded with cameras and cameras.On the contrary, the volunteers who came with them were actually playing with these children and helping them with farm work. Fang Tianyu and Pei Shuobing also joined them.

Xiaoyan is a 10-year-old girl. Every day after class, she has to go to the mountains to collect some dry firewood and see if she can dig some wild vegetables. Today is a bit different because there are two more older brothers from the city.

Xiaoyan: "Big brother, are you from the city?"

Pei Shuobing: "Yes!"

Xiaoyan: "Isn't the city very interesting? The people who come from there are all very beautiful, especially you two big brothers."

Pei Shuobing: "Hehe, it's fun in the city, so Xiaoyan should study hard and come to play with her brother when she grows up."

Xiaoyan: "Well, I really want to go to the city, but it's too inconvenient for us to go out, and my mother is not in good health."

Pei Shuobing: "Xiaoyan is really obedient, Xiaoyan is still young, when she grows up, she can take her mother to the city with her."

Xiaoyan: "Brother, can you tell me, I heard from my mother that there are ten-storey buildings, wide roads, beautiful cars, and beautiful flower skirts, and my mother said wait Take me to the city to play when I grow up."

Pei Shuobing: "Well, what mom said can be found in the city, and big brother will be waiting for you."

Xiaoyan: "Really?"

Pei Shuobing: "Really, big brother doesn't lie."

Xiaoyan: "Okay, then let's pull the hook." Xiaoyan stretched out her pinky finger in front of Pei Shuobing.

Pei Shuobing: "Okay, let's pull the hook." Pei Shuobing also hooked the little hand with his little finger.

Xiaoyan ran and jumped in front excitedly, leading the two of them on the rugged mountain road.The three of them picked up some firewood along the way. Fang Tianyu couldn't bear to see such a big basket of dry firewood on his small shoulders. He wanted to help but was stopped by Pei Shuobing. He simply put it on his shoulder and pulled Fang Tianyu forward. .Fang Tianyu suddenly had the illusion of being taken care of.

Xiaoyan was digging on the way back with a small hoe. Fang Tianyu asked curiously what she was digging.Xiaoyan said: "I'm digging wild vegetables. The wild vegetables on this mountain are delicious." Fang Tianyu didn't know which wild vegetables were edible, so he asked Xiaoyan to point him out, and he came to dig. The harvest has started to return.

The road under her feet is rough and difficult, in fact, it can’t be called a road at all. Xiaoyan is really like a little swallow, and she doesn’t feel difficult at all, as if walking on flat ground, but it’s hard for two little friends who have never experienced it. Fang Tianyu staggered forward with wild vegetables in his arms.Xiaoyan walked forward for a while and turned around to see their embarrassment. She laughed and urged them to speed up. Mom was still waiting at home.Fang Tianyu and the others also felt a little embarrassed, not as good as a 10-year-old girl.So they all quickened their pace, as the saying goes: going up the mountain is easy and going down the mountain is difficult.There were too many weeds on the ground, and he didn't pay attention to a loose stone. He inevitably sprained his ankle, but it was not serious. It hurt a little, but it was not enough to make him unable to walk at all.Xiaoyan quickly took the wild vegetables from Fang Tianyu's hand, and Pei Shuobing took him into his arms and carried him back to the village slowly.

Xiaoyan's mother is the female teacher in the school, she enthusiastically kept them at home for dinner, and then went to work in full swing.

Fang Tianyu was sitting in the yard, Pei Shuobing went back to their base camp and brought the medicine box Fang Tianyu had brought, at this time they thanked Fang Tianyu's sister from the bottom of their hearts, they prepared a complete set of things, even the medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis , Fang Tianyu felt that he must cook a big meal for his sister when he went back.

Pei Shuobing was squatting opposite Fang Tianyu, massaging his feet with his hands, but there was a little redness and swelling, and it should be fine after a simple massage.Fang Tianyu seldom goes out for activities, and his skin is not often exposed to the sun and rain, so it is well maintained. His ankles are even more white and clean, and they gradually turn red under Pei Shuobing's rubbing, and they feel good to the touch.Pei Shuobing thought about it while looking at it.

Fang Tianyu was a little embarrassed, he always felt that something was wrong when his feet were pinched and rubbed by Pei Shuobing like this.So he gently twitched his calf, and said to Pei Shuobing: "It's much better, don't rub it anymore." Pei Shuobing also let him take it away, suddenly feeling reluctant, he felt that it would be dangerous to go on like this.

After Xiaoyan's mother prepared dinner, she set up a table in the yard, and the four of them chatted and laughed, eating the freshly dug wild vegetables, served with rice porridge and thick steamed buns.

Xiaoyan's mother: "The conditions here are not good. We only entertain everyone with these things. Sorry for the poor hospitality."

Fang Tianyu: "No, auntie, these are also delicious, original ecological pollution-free pure green food."

Pei Shuobing: "That's right, we can't usually eat these things."

Xiaoyan's mother: "You two children are really good at coaxing people. I don't know yet. It's okay to eat a meal or two of simple food. If you eat it every day, let's see if you will say that."

Pei Shuobing: "Auntie, we have never eaten anything like this before, but the experience of the past few days is really special, and I think I will never forget it in my life."

Xiaoyan's mother: "Everyone yearns for a rich life, why should you remember everything here, and cherish it when you go back."

Fang Tianyu: "Auntie, I will definitely remember what you said."

Pei Shuobing: "Auntie, today I heard from Xiaoyan that you described the city to him, why don't you take some time to take her to play?"

Xiaoyan's mother: "We live in such a place, and this situation cannot be changed in a short period of time. Now that Xiaoyan has seen the prosperity, the poverty gap may hurt her. Why not draw a blueprint for her and let her go there? Work hard, and wait for the time when you can really leave."

Fang Tianyu: "It's not as serious as you said, I think Xiaoyan is a cheerful child, and she shouldn't be narrow-minded."

During the chat, everyone had almost eaten, and Xiaoyan's mother asked Xiaoyan to come in to do her homework, and there were only three of them left in the yard.Xiaoyan's mother sighed helplessly, "Hey, what's wrong with being like this now? She is my child, and I only hope that she can always be carefree like this."

Fang Tianyu: "Auntie, do you have such thoughts because you were once defeated by such a gap?"

Xiaoyan's mother paused for a moment, did not speak, but fell into deep thought briefly.Pei Shuobing went on to say: "Auntie, you are not from the local area!" A seemingly doubtful but affirmative sentence opened up the memories of Xiaoyan's mother.

Xiaoyan's mother: "I am indeed not a local."

Fang Tianyu felt that Xiaoyan's mother should also have a past that cannot be recalled, and continued to ask cautiously: "Then why are you living here now?"

Xiaoyan's mother took a deep breath and said slowly, "I was sold here."

Fang Tianyu and Pei Shuobing: "Ah!!!!!!"

Fang Tianyu hurriedly said, "I'm sorry."

Xiaoyan's mother: "It's nothing, I've already let go of what happened more than ten years ago."

The small courtyard fell into extreme silence. Fang Tianyu and Pei Shuobing seemed to have not recovered, and they were still staring at Xiaoyan's mother recklessly.Xiaoyan's mother smiled and said to the young man in front of her, "What kind of eyes are you looking at? Surprised, curious, pitiful? Hehe!"

Fang Tianyu: "No, we just didn't react. There is absolutely no other meaning."

Xiaoyan's mother: "Okay, I know what you think. More than ten years ago, I was still in my freshman year. I was cheated at the train station when I came home from the winter vacation. I was in a daze and didn't know when I was taken away. When I arrived in this mountain, it was isolated from the world at that time. After the traffickers left, I still hadn’t accepted the fact that I was sold here. The family who bought me was very poor and had a disabled son. I can buy it. Imagine how scared, angry, and desperate I was when I lived a pampered life and was trapped in a poor and backward village overnight. I didn’t want to be trapped here for the rest of my life, so I tried every means to escape , but I don’t know the way, and the people here are very united. I have no way to escape, so I thought of suicide. When I took the bottle with pesticides, I found that I was even more afraid, and death is the most terrible thing. Isn’t it? So I slowly compromised, I hate everyone here, I don’t want to deal with them.” Xiaoyan’s mother glanced at them and found that their eyes were a little moist, and continued: “Then I got Xiaoyan, so I couldn't give up. The family was afraid that I would continue to escape, so they locked me at home every day. After a while, they found that I was safe and relaxed their supervision. During that time, they even suspected that I had depression. The children in the village Very cute, I just became a mother, so I started to communicate with my children. I majored in fine arts in college, so I started teaching them to draw, and sometimes I also taught other things. Gradually, the children like to learn from me Things, this teaching has been going on for several years, and the children grew up little by little. Later, the road was opened in the village, and the people in the village began to go out to work, and gradually got in touch with the outside world. I am very relieved that my family did not give up on me. , finally found me, in fact, I can leave here, but I can't forget the tearful look of the child begging me to stay, so I decided to stay. Although I gave up material wealth, it doesn't mean I'm poor."

The people who listened to the story looked at Xiaoyan's mother with tears in their eyes, and there was more respect in their eyes.

Fang Tianyu sorted out his emotions and asked, "Then why don't you send Xiaoyan back to your former home, at least you can receive a better education."

Xiaoyan's mother: "My home is far away. Xiaoyan is my child. How can I be willing? Besides, there are still many Xiaoyans here after sending Xiaoyan away. Can you send them all away?"

Fang Tianyu: "What about your family here? Why didn't you see them?"

Xiaoyan's mother: "Xiaoyan's health is not good, she has gone long ago, and her elderly parents have also left one after another. Now there are only us mother and daughter left."

Xiaoyan's mother looked at Fang Tianyu's bright eyes with a lot of emotions. They are still children after all, and said to the two children with a smile: "You don't have to think how miserable my experience is. My life is very miserable now. Well, Xiaoyan is very obedient and filial, a child is all the hope of a mother."

"A child is all a mother's hope." This sentence has been floating in Fang Tianyu's mind, so what about his mother?How desperate is it to choose death?
