After that day, he became silent. He felt the warmth of the sun. He no longer asked what the sun was. He heard the chirping of the birds and no longer asked what the birds looked like.
He gradually learned from more people what a blind man is, and he also understood that the sky is not black but blue, and the world is not black but colorful.
He also understands that the partners around him are not the same as himself. They can see the world from birth, and only they...
I often think about it. My parents tell myself that I can see it when I grow up. This is a lie, but he doesn't want to believe it. He always tells himself that he can see it when he grows up.
If you can't see it, it's because you... haven't grown up yet.
He gradually became withdrawn, and gradually he did not want to play with those little friends, because they always bullied him, bullying him can’t see the world, bullying him is a blind man, but in his heart he yearns for friendship, so he works hard to smile instead of going. Crying, even if he was pushed down again and again while playing, his clothes were torn, and blood was left behind, he still laughed.
He even scolded him as the voice of a blind man, and when the mocking voices grew more and more, he wanted to cry aggrieved, but he still held back. He didn't want to lose his friendship, he hoped to have friends.
Until one day, he was very happy, because he couldn't see the people around him, but the little friends who knew the voice, for some reason, suddenly came to find him and played with him. They wanted to play a game with him.
"This is a game for the blind to catch people, Xiaobao, you are blind, remember to catch us."
"Whoever you catch is blind. By the way, we will take you to a place, and when we are done, you can catch us."
"I... I don't want to catch." Xiaobao trembled in his heart. He knew the term blind, he was a little scared, and he didn't want others to become blind too.
"Shut up, if you don’t play, we won’t play with you anymore!" The little friends said involuntarily, pulling him for a long time. He didn’t know where he went until there were a lot of birds calling around. Squatting down on the ground.
"Remember, you can only catch us when we have said it." The laughter of the friends around, got farther and farther...
He squatted there silently, not daring to move, because he was afraid that if he didn't follow the agreement, they would not find himself in the future, he could only wait... for a long time.
He felt very cold and scared until the calls of the birds gradually dwindled.
"Okay?" He shouted loudly, but no one answered.
"Okay?" After a while, his body was shaking and getting colder, and he called out again, but still no one responded.
"Okay..." He stood up slowly, shivering, and since then, there seemed to be some echoes, but no one answered his question.
He was afraid that the whole world was originally dark, but the presence of his parents brought a warm feeling, and suddenly disappeared. At this moment, his world was not only dark, but also cold.
"Okay... I... I don't play anymore..." He was scared, tears streaming down his eyes.
"Where are you, I won't play anymore... I want to go home."
"Father, mother... Where are you..." He cried and walked forward, subconsciously raising his hands, but he didn't catch anything. After walking a few steps, he fell even more.
"Mother... Where are you... Little Treasure is afraid..." He struggled to get up, crying to the extreme, the feeling of being alone in the world made him feel suffocated, his clothes torn, his forehead There was blood, he was only six or seven years old, opened his hands, and walked slowly forward again.
The feeling of helplessness is shocking, and he can't see it. The place where he is is a forest, and in front of him, at this moment, there is a lone wolf, slowly approaching, cold wolf eyes, Staring at him tightly.
But at the moment when the wolf was about to pounce on, its body trembled suddenly, and it wilted in an instant. The body blinked and turned into a piece of fly ash. A woman, wearing a cyan gown, appeared silently here.
She stared at the child in front of her in a daze, watched his slowly walking figure with open hands, watched the tears on his face, listened to his helpless heartbreaking call, the woman bit her lower lip, tears Shed.
"Master..." This woman is Yan'er. She has been looking for Master for hundreds of years. Finally, on this day, at this moment, she found this place and saw her... Reincarnation.
Seeing that the child was crying and was about to fall down again, Yan'er immediately stepped forward and gently hugged the child.
Xiaobao took a halt, and he touched the figure in front of him. It was a very warm feeling, which was different from the warmth his parents gave him, as if it was a familiar and familiar breath.
"You..." he whispered.
"Is your name Xiaobao?" Yan'er was silent, a smile appeared on her face after a long while, squatting down and speaking softly.
"En." Xiaobao nodded, the other party's voice was very soft, so that he was not afraid for a while.
At this moment, there were bursts of noise from a distance, and it seemed that many people were shouting, intermittently, spreading all around.
"Little treasure, where are you..."
"Little treasure... I'm mother, where are you..."
"Little Treasure..." There were his parents' voices in this voice, with anxiety and misery, constantly coming.
"Daddy and mother..." Xiaobao's body was shocked.
Yan'er was silent, with hesitation in her eyes, but after a while, she did not choose to take the child away, but gently stroked the head of the child in front of her.
"Your father and mother are looking for you, I... Sister is leaving first." Yan'er said softly, stepped back, and was about to leave.
Xiao Bao suddenly felt that something seemed to be missing, and his heart was empty, and he spoke subconsciously.
"Big sister... I... Can I touch your face?"
Yan'er's eyes were soft, and the boy in front of her was her master, the heaven in her life, and everything to her.
When she squatted down and approached the child, the child stretched out a muddy hand and touched Yan'er's face very carefully, until after a while, Xiao Bao smiled, and Yan'er smiled deeply, looking deeply. At a glance, turn around and leave.
Not long after, his father and mother found him in his cry, cried and hugged him, and left the mountain forest with him. He didn't ask what happened in this matter, just in the days that followed. Here, he is no longer playing with those partners, he likes to be alone, silently remembering the big sister who appeared in front of him.
Even he often has a feeling, it seems that the big sister has not left, she is by his side, even if she never appears again, he still has this feeling.
Time passed, and ten years later, he grew up, but his world was still pitch black, without any light, it seemed to be forgotten by the sky.
His parents are also getting old, he can't see, maybe feel their voices, the vicissitudes of life have appeared, and here, in these ten years, with his dexterous hands, learning carpentry work with his father.
When there is nothing to do, he likes to sculpt, he can't see it, but he can sculpt everything he imagined, and the sculptures come alive, just like his childhood dreams.
There are birds, houses, and relatives.
He is not surprised when people say that he is blind, and he does not care that he cannot see the world, because he already has his own world in his heart, and the wooden sculptures are his.
Even if he doesn't carve like it, that's the picture in his heart, and as long as he touches the people and objects with his hands, he can carve out completely realistically.
"My mother used to say that the sky is closed and I want to carve a sky with open eyes, but I can't touch it." Xiao Bao smiled, shook his head and smiled.
Gradually, with this kind of wood carving, he has his own livelihood in this city. In this regard, his father and mother are in love, sometimes showing contented eyes.
Their son, even if he is blind, is the best, especially when he started to take care of his parents, this kind of satisfaction and this kind of touch made his parents warm all his life.
But they still can't let go of their children, even if the children have the skills to survive here, they still feel that they should marry their children a daughter-in-law.
However, as a blind man's little treasure, not many people are willing to marry.
Until three years later, under the matchmaker’s matchmaking, the daughter of a small family in the city agreed to the marriage. The girl was very beautiful. Her consent surprised Xiaobao’s parents and gave out a betrothal gift that he had accumulated for a lifetime. After a few days, the girl was married.
This day was the happiest time for the old couple in their lives. They talked about the marriage and set a banquet until the red light was high. They sent away relatives and neighbors, pushed Xiaobao, and sent them to the wedding room. .
Little Bao was a little nervous. He hadn't had any contact with this girl before. Everything was done by his parents, and he was a filial child. As long as it was a decision made by his parents, even if it was his lifelong event, he didn't care.
Besides, he knew he was blind, and he was curious as to why the other party would agree.
Touching the table on one side, Xiaobao walked into the room. He couldn't see a woman with a red hijab sitting beside the bed, but he could feel the presence of the other person.
He touched one side of the wall until he reached the window and he touched his wife.
The girl trembled and did not speak.
Little Treasure was silent, and after slowly lifting the red hijab, he spoke softly.
"Can I touch your face?"
The girl seemed to be very nervous too. Her hands were holding her clothes, her breathing was slightly rapid. Her nervousness was not false, but from the bottom of her heart. She didn’t know if she was doing it right, but she wanted it, whether it’s a past life or this life…
She took a deep breath and hummed softly.
Xiao Bao raised his hands, touched his wife's face, and gently stroked it until he touched all the facial features, his body shook suddenly.
