Mother Lin came up soon and sat beside her.
She saw what happened today.
Lin Miao hugged the mother next to her, "Mom."
Her voice was a little choked, maybe it's the same here, and she didn't even know what life should be like when she grew up. Is there a standard answer.
However, she was very sad in her heart, as long as she thought of Xiaomei leaving in a hurry with her child on her back, she would feel sad.
"I know, for Shui Shui, it's hard to accept. But that's how girls in the countryside are." Mother Lin touched her head, "I was born because my parents wanted boys, and finally, when I grew up, Be like your parents once."
Lin Miao burst into tears.
"But, I don't want this." She already understood that she couldn't return to her childhood days.
Mother Lin sighed, the girls in the village are all good children, and they have been good at water since childhood.
When they were children, Shui Shui grew up in the town, because they were working in the town at that time, and then they returned to the village.
Except for Xiaoling, several girls in the village are a little older than Shui Shui, and Shui Shui was thin and small when she was a child, and she came back from the town, so they all regarded her as their younger sister.
Shuishui once said that Jinluo ham sausage was delicious, but he didn't buy it in the village.
At that time, a few girls went to the town pharmacy to sell gold and silver leaves, and then raised a dollar each and bought a golden gong ham sausage for Shuishui.
Mother Lin sighed and said to Lin Miao, "So, you have to work hard not to let your next generation live such a life."
That day, Lin Miao still couldn't find her answer, she still wanted to find Xiaoling.
She was the closest in age to Xiaoling back then, but Xiaoling was actually a little younger than her.
Xiaoling is the girl who doesn't want to be adopted.
Her home was relatively remote, so Lin Miao took out the things she bought and went over by herself.
Their little friends, often based on the village head's house and her house, don't go to Xiaoling's house very often, because the second uncle and their family are fierce.
When I went there, I found that Xiaoling was not at home, and the second uncle and the second aunt greeted her warmly, "Shui Shui has a future."
Lin Miao was a little overwhelmed, the second uncle and the second aunt had never smiled so brightly.
The younger brother of Xiaoling next to him brought all the candy and fruit that Lin Miao brought to him, and then started to eat.
Lin Miao asked, "Second uncle, isn't Xiaoling at home?"
"She went to her mother-in-law's house," said the second aunt.
Lin Miao was stunned for a moment. At the dinner table yesterday, she heard that Xiaoling was married, but she hadn't married yet.
"Where is her mother-in-law's house? I want to go see her." She didn't know when she would come back next time. She was very scared. The next time she came back, everything might be the same again.
"Married far away. It may take a few days to come back." The second aunt said, "Shui Shui, where is your father working now? Look, how about letting your father take Zhiqiang? He can't study, but he works. Very diligent."
Lin Miao was stunned for a moment, then said, "I don't know."
Then quickly left.
Lin Miao didn't like Xiaoling's younger brother, he worked diligently, the second aunt must have misunderstood.
Originally planned to leave in the afternoon of the first day of the new year, but it was inconvenient to leave because of the rain.
So, they continued to stay at night, because they didn't see Xiaoling, they might have to leave the next day, so Lin Miao gave Xiaoying the things she bought for Xiaoling, and asked her to hand it over to Xiaoling.
Xiaoying is the third daughter of the village chief. Damei Xiaomei's younger sister, a very simple and honest little girl.
Xiaoying took something and said, "Isn't Sister Xiaoling at home?"
"Ah? Their family said she was not at home." Lin Miao was a little strange.
"Let's stay at home." Xiaoying said, "Two days ago, sister Xiaoling wanted to run away from home, but she was beaten by the second uncle..."
Lin Miao frowned. Xiaoling wanted to run away from home since she was a child. She knew this. At that time, a few friends could only persuade her.
At night, it was raining heavily, and after her mother fell asleep, Lin Miao got up, put on the cloak that the village chief had placed outside, and went to roll up the trouser legs.
It's not particularly dark, at least for a child who walked through the dark road when he was a child, it's not dark and can see the road clearly.
Lin Miao went to the second uncle's house again.
They didn't seem to have slept yet, and Lin Miao sneaked in, under the cover of the rain.
"Shui Shui, he looked so honest when he was a child, but when he grows up, it doesn't look so good."
Second Aunt's voice.
"Forget it, Mom, I'm going out to find a job by myself, I don't need to ask others, besides, don't we have money too?" Xiaoling's younger brother's voice.
Lin Miao leaned against the wall, she ran over so impulsive, she didn't know what she was going to do.
Don't even know what to do.
"That money will be used by you to marry your daughter-in-law in the future, so you can't use it indiscriminately." The second uncle's voice.
"Forget it, stop talking, I'm going to bed."
They didn't mention Xiaoling, and there was no Xiaoling's voice inside.
Lin Miao stood outside the earth wall, not knowing what to do.
When she heard that Xiaoling was at home, she ran over on impulse, but she had no plan in her mind.
Lin Miao squatted for a while, and then heard the second uncle say, "Is that girl Xiaoling still refusing to eat?"
The second aunt said, "It's fine if you don't eat. Anyway, if she doesn't eat for a day or two, she won't starve to death. After raising her so big, she still dares to run. When Zhiqiang was born, I said, send her back."
"Don't say a few words, it's not that you didn't send it back, the other side refused to ask for it, and it didn't refund the money. Moreover, we gave 3,000 yuan at the time, so it can't be given in vain. Now that the bride price is more than 30,000 yuan, if I send it back. , With so much money, you motherfucker, you can't think far beyond anything."
Lin Miao squatted outside the wall, only to feel that all the blood was being drained from her body.
In fact, Xiaoling always wanted to go back to her parents, because she felt that the second uncle and the second aunt treated her badly because she was not biological.
It was only now that Lin Miao realized that there were so many things going on here.
She had never experienced something so terrible.
In the winter, the wind is cold and the rain is cold, but it can't resist the cold from these few words.
After they all fell asleep, Lin Miao came back to her senses, and then found that the door of one room was locked.
Lin Miao gritted her teeth, even if she was beaten and scolded, she recognized it.
Then I found an iron bar and pried the lock directly.
It was a little dark in the room, Lin Miao walked in and called softly, "Xiaoling, Xiaoling..."
Soon, there was a response, "Water?"
Lin Miao quickly got used to the light in the room, and then found Xiaoling on the bed.
She looked weak.
"Shui Shui..." Xiao Ling's voice was crying.
Lin Miao helped her up. Her body was so hot that she must have caught a cold. She dared not turn on the light and kept crying.
She didn't understand why she became what she is now when she grew up.
Xiaomei too, Xiaoling too...
Lin Miao carried Xiaoling on her back, and then put the robe on Xiaoling, "I'll take you to see Dr. Li."
Xiaoling pressed her back, "Shui Shui, don't go to the adults, they won't help me. If I die, Shui Shui, when you come back for the New Year, help me burn some paper money..."
"No, no, you just have a cold." Lin Miao recalled that when she was a child, everyone played together and picked up chestnuts together. At that time, she was rather stupid, wearing sandals and stepping on the chestnut shell, Xiaoling would carry her back. Family.
Xiaoling is the most diligent among them. She is quick to pick up firewood and bacteria, and she will help them pick up...
Of the three of them, Xiaoling can climb trees and even taught her to climb trees...
"Xiao Ling, you won't die." Lin Miao carried her out of the yard.
"Shui Shui, you must study hard in the future." Xiaoling said weakly, "Let me down, if you are found to be involved, you will be scolded..."
She was a little desperate. She originally ran out secretly, but she was found when she was going down the mountain, and she was caught back.
I just found out today that Shui Shui is back, but she just wants to see each other.
"Shui Shui, listen to me. If you don't go to the doctor, you will send me back." Xiaoling said, "Otherwise, they will definitely trouble you."
Lin Miao stopped, and a thought flooded into his heart. Once this thought sprang up, it couldn't be stopped.
"Xiao Ling, run away from home." Lin Miao said in the heavy rain.
When she was a child, Xiaoling often cried and said that she was going to run away from home, she didn't want to stay in this house, she could go out and be a homeless child.
Lin Miao is ignorant, Damei and Xiaomei know more, but she just thinks that Xiaoling is so young, she will definitely not survive if she runs away from home, so she said, it will be fine when she grows up.
At that time, Lin Miao also felt that it would be good to grow up.
However, now, Lin Miao felt that she should run away from home.
Xiaoling has grown up now, but everything has not gotten better, but has gotten worse.
"I can't go anymore." Xiaoling said weakly.
Lin Miao shook his head, with a firm tone, "I can go."
She is carrying people, Xiaoling is thin and light.
This is her little friend. When she was a child, she agreed that she would be a good friend for the rest of her life. Even when she grew up, she decided not to ignore the other person.
Lin Miao did not hesitate and changed direction.
In such a late night, Xiaoling seemed to be alive, "Shui Shui..."
She knows nothing and has never been out of the village.
For her, everything outside is unknown. The last time she ran away from home was a failure.
However, she also understood that no one would help her.
With hope in her heart, Xiaoling also came to the strength, "Shui Shui, I'll go by myself, you can just show me the way, I don't know the way down the mountain."
Xiaoling struggled and came down, but luckily the rain stopped.
Lin Miao pulled Xiaoling and hurried down the mountain.
The forest is a little dark, but the two of them are not afraid.
Xiaoling was a little happy, even if her voice was rustling, she could still hear the joy inside, "Shui Shui, I want to go to work. When I earn money, I will buy you candy."
"Okay." Lin Miao said.
It took nearly three hours of mountain road to reach the foot of the mountain, because it was dark, so I walked a little slowly.
The foot of the mountain is the road, but there are no cars at this point.
So the two of them walked along the road to the town.
After arriving in town, Lin Miao wanted to send Xiaoling to the clinic, but at this point, there was no one at the clinic, so Lin Miao took Xiaoling to stay in a hotel. She often went to other places to play games and was familiar with staying in hotels.
Xiaoling was very embarrassed, "Shui Shui, when I earn the money, I will return the money to you. Go back quickly, otherwise, they will definitely suspect you and ask you for someone."
Lin Miao thought for a while, that was the truth, so she gave her the money again, "You wait for me here, I'll go back first, and I'll come down and take you to see the doctor tomorrow."
Xiaoling was a little uneasy, "Can I not tell your parents?"
She no longer trusts adults, and feels that they will all betray her.
Lin Miao agreed without hesitation.
When he went back, Lin Miao was still very uneasy. When he passed the bank, he remembered something, so he walked in.
When he went back, he still had to pass through the forest, and Lin Miao's speed was much faster.
She did not go directly to the village chief's house, but went to Xiaoling's house.
Lin Miao thought that she was not a child anymore, not the one she was before, she could only listen to Xiaoling cry and comfort her child.
She's grown up, she's grown up and shouldn't be like when she was a kid.
She should act like an adult.
Then I realized that it was too early.
So, I went back to the village chief's house to change clothes.
Then she looked at the time, and she just slept for a while. She held a bag and slept lightly beside her mother.
After only two hours of sleep, Lin Miao woke up. She looked at her phone. It was okay. It was not too late.
Lin Miao got up and touched his forehead first, but it wasn't hot. Breathing a sigh of relief, I don't have a cold.
The author has something to say: Xiaoling appeared before, which was the time when Shui Shui understood that she could not be adopted.
Yu Jingxuan: "Oh."
