dumb

Chapter 114 I will be with you from now on (3)
When Yong Rong heard this, his eyes lit up, he turned around and ran behind the screen.

The little drug boy ran over to help the old doctor stroke his chest, "Master, are you alright?"

The old man waved his hand and sighed.

Su Huan walked over and asked, "Old man, what happened to his grandma?"

The old man sighed again, "His granny, her time is coming soon."

Su Huan asked cautiously, "Old man, is there no other way?"

The old man shook his head, "His granny has been suffering from menstrual cold for many years, and she is getting old. Now she is coughing up black blood. There is really nothing I can do. I just told him the truth and asked him to take granny Go home, follow her heart, and cook something she likes, and it will only take half a month if you think about it."

Su Huan went to see Huo An silently, but Huo An pulled her to go behind the screen.

Turning around the screen, there is a wing room behind, several rows of red shelves stand against the wall, densely packed with medicine boxes, the air is filled with a strong smell of medicine.

Lights are like beans.

A white-haired old woman was lying on the bed, wearing clean blue cloth clothes, her cheeks were slightly sunken, her eyes were half-opened, her face was serene, although she didn't have any divine light, she stretched out a hand and gently patted the bed board, "Ah Rong , let's go home."

Yongrong sat on the edge of the bed with his head bowed, humming in a low voice.

Su Huan felt that Huo An was holding her hand tighter and tighter.She turned her head to look at him, only to see that his eyes were very dark, filled with deep and dark sadness.

Yong Rong walked ahead with his sleepy grandmother on his back, Huo An and Su Huan followed silently.

When he reached an alley, Yongrong turned around, looked at the ground, and said in a hoarse voice, "Go back. I'm fine."

Huo An nodded, and pulled Su Huan to stop.

Yongrong turned around and walked into the alley with his grandmother on his back.The night was dark, and under the eaves in front of a family's door, a half-new red lantern was raised, emitting a halo of light. The alley was deep, and the night wind was blowing. Su Huan could hear Grandma Yongrong's intermittent voice , "Arong...Grandma wants to eat... white sugar cake from my hometown..."

Su Huan felt his nose a little sore, and hugged Huo An tightly.

That night, Huo An was very silent.

Su Huan was used to him not having a voice, but he was not used to his silent expression, so he hugged him in the dark, "Huo An, what's wrong with you?"

She hesitated for a while, "Are you missing your mother?"

The room was silent.

Suddenly Huo An turned over, lit the lamp, leaned against the bed, took the wooden sign and wrote slowly: "When I was 15 years old, it was very cold in winter. My mother was sick and said she wanted to eat stewed yellow mutton soup. I was alone. After entering the mountain, I found a gazelle after crossing mountains and ridges."

Su Huan stood up to look, but didn't speak.

Huo An wiped the words and wrote: "She was waiting for me under the old pimple tree in the south of the village. She looked very energetic. She said, Ah An, don't worry. We ate yellow mutton soup at night, but she only drank it. A little bit. I knocked on her door the next morning, and she didn't speak to me anymore."

Su Huan really didn't expect that Huo An's mother left so suddenly without leaving him a word.Her mother left when she was 12 years old, but before she left, she stayed on the sick bed for a long time, holding her hand and talking for a long time, so that when her mother left, she was sad but calm, because everyone said that her mother My dear is going to die.

Therefore, she was prepared for the death of her relatives, but Huo An was unprepared. He even thought that his mother was getting better and better. He talked to him and drank soup together. As a result, the next day, he died. Heaven and man are separated forever.

Su Huan leaned on his shoulder and stroked his fingers, "Huo An, don't be sad, I'll be with you from now on."

Huo An stroked her hair, and wrote: "Actually, I think she has a lot to say to me, but she doesn't say it."

Su Huan looked up at him, "Why?"

Huo An shook his head.

Su Huan was silent for a moment, and asked, "By the way, why have you never heard of your father?"

Huo An wiped the words and wrote: "My mother said that my father was an ordinary farmer who was conscripted to fight and never came back. My memory before I was seven years old is very vague, and I can't always remember what my father looked like. Occasionally, I would dream of him in my dreams, he is very tall, and he likes to lift me with one hand and sit on his shoulder, but I can't see his face clearly."

Su Huan bit his fingertips and said, "Children, of course I can't remember clearly. I heard from Huasui that you and your mother went to Peach Blossom Village when you were seven years old. Where did you live before then?"

Huo An shook his head.

Su Huan said, "Oh, yes, yes, you don't remember clearly."

She thought for a while, and said hesitantly, "When you were ten years old, what illness did you have?"

But Huo An lowered his eyelids, silently put away the wooden sign and charcoal sticks, blew on the lamp, and slept with his arms around her.

Su Huan thought in the dark, let's not talk if he doesn't like to talk, anyway, she won't dislike him for being dumb.

In the morning of the second day, Huo An returned to his usual appearance, and Su Huan also became lively. After all, there is no way for a person to die, let alone someone else's relatives.

While eating breakfast, Cai Xiang actually came back from outside.

Su Wan thought, this Cai Xiang went to Jinyu Tower to fool around again last night.

He yawned and said to Huo An, "After dinner, you go to the hall with me. This time, Yongrong won't go. His grandma is not well, so I'm afraid he's leaving. Yongrong is in charge. I leave it to you, if you don’t understand, just ask me, you can also ask Aqiu.”

Huo An nodded.

The cricket was drinking porridge, when he heard the spoon shake in his hand, he looked up at Cai Xiang, "Brother Yongrong's grandma is not good?"

Cai Xiang said, "I coughed up blood again last night."

The cricket lowered its head.

Cai Xiang patted him, "You and Uncle Mao will go and see later, I'm busy today, so I'll see him another day."

The cricket nodded.

Cai Xiang went around the hall and went back to her room to change clothes.

Su Huan whispered to Huo An, "Shall we go and see?"

Huo An nodded.

After dinner, Huo An followed Cai Xiang and left.

The crickets were not as lively as before, so Aunt Qin picked up some things and asked him to carry them so that he and Uncle Mao could visit Yongrong's grandmother.

Su Huan called to Cricket, "Cricket, where is your hometown?"

The cricket said, "Chi Zhou."

Su Huan said, "Is there a white sugar cake in your hometown?"

Cricket was a little surprised, "Fourth sister, are you also from there?"

Su Huan shook his head and told him what he saw and heard yesterday.

Cricket touched his nose sadly, "Brother Yongrong has a deep relationship with his grandmother. Brother Yongrong has been in poor health since he was a child. His parents thought he would not live long, so they left him in the care of his grandmother in the country. Sister, go to the city to open a grocery store. That year, there was a severe drought after the locust plague, and many people fled. His older brothers and sisters were separated from them, and his parents starved to death. Only he took his grandmother and me, We fled together to a place called Chen County, where we met Brother Xiang, and then came to Baoning."
