Visiting people in a small village with only dozens of families is a very simple matter.
At the head of the village, the old man with the sun-dried sauce narrowed his eyes and habitually pointed his hand casually, and the three people of Qianmai saw Cao Mountain by the stream at the foot of the mountain.
Exactly like Tan Xiangyang's description, Cao Shan is a tiger-headed and naive man, but his body is a little thin and short. At this moment, he was leaning on the rock beside the stream leisurely, smiling and looking at the two children in the clearing.
A child’s world is pure and happy. Just a simple somersault can be played in a variety of ways and it is full of fun. You can compare the number of somersaults that you can turn over, the arc of the torso that you turn over is round, and even stop in the middle and stand upside down for longer than the endurance of others.
The children in the two competitions have been standing upside down for dozens of seconds.
The little boy's breathing gradually became rough and disordered, and sweat faintly came out of his forehead, and his little hands began to tremble, and he couldn't hold it anymore.
"You shameless! Just put your heels on the back wall of the field to rest, this time you lose." The little boy preemptively struck the opponent in the first second of resuming his upright position.
"You're framing me! My feet shook and crooked, so I didn't touch the Tianhou wall." The little girl fell down and immediately got up again, patted the mud on her hands, she wanted to be redressed.
The two of them argued each other's words, and were at a stalemate, and finally turned their heads to Cao Shan together.
"Cao Shan, you have seen it all, she just cheated, didn't she?" The little boy made a calm face and took the lead in canvassing for himself.
"Cao Shan, he deliberately wronged people. I obviously just tilted it a little bit. There are still a few centimeters away from the back wall of the field. This is not counted as an encounter, right?" The little girl pouted and asked for the support of a third party.
Faced with this situation, no one knows how Cao Shan understood it. It seemed that he still smiled, and grinned happily, showing his small, incomplete teeth.
In the end, he lightly waved the bullwhip in his hand. The two children looked in their eyes and got the answer for themselves: "He said to compare again."
So, the little boy lifted up his muddy pants, turned over half a tumble and stood upside down. After being unwilling, the little girl stretched her feet straight. Maybe it’s been crazy to play for a long time today, now the shirt inside has been lifted up, and fell down together with the fat and unfit coat. The two undeveloped little tits want to hide, and they grinned uncomfortably. know.
"Look, this is called'Two Little No Guess'." Three suspicious-looking figures fluttered behind the bushes a few feet away.
"He's very good." Seeing Cao Shan who was content in the warm sun, Qianmai was relieved and happy. For a moment, she hesitated. Such a simple pastoral life seems to be very good, is it really necessary for me to appear in Cao Shan's life
"I don't see how he is different from normal children." Nan Weiwei thinks so too.
The three of them stood quietly and observed for a while, until the two hind-conscious "two little no guesses" spotted them.
"Who are you? Where do you come from?" The two children greeted happily, not afraid, looking at the stranger with shrewd eyes.
Cao Shan's gaze also shifted, seeing the stranger as if he was taken aback, then turned his head away, with a smile on the corners of his mouth, but he was more shy and nervous, sitting motionless on the rock and pretending to be a wooden person.
None of the three have much experience in close contact with deaf-mute people. Even though thousands of openings were designed on the way, they were still a little at a loss when they met.
"We came from a very far place, and saw that you are doing so well in handstand, so we couldn't help but stop and watch." Qianmai decided to start with two active children.
Sure enough, as she expected, the two children giggled after hearing their eyes sparkling: "We still do somersaults. At most, we can do seven or eight in a row at a time."
"It's great." Nan Weiwei and Ouyang Xuan on the side clapped their hands in a timely manner.
The warm atmosphere here seemed to infect Cao Shan, and after a secret glance, he turned around and quietly acted as a bystander. But as long as Qianmai and the three of them swept their gazes towards him, he could not hide his ears from the sight, shaking his feet, and began to look around.
When Qianmai looked over for the fourth time, Cao Shan stood up altogether, like a little monkey, swiftly rushing to the upper stream of the stream, pulling out the little ox who had strayed into the vegetable field nearby. Then he drew and dug, digging and digging, and then refused to come down.
Nan Weiwei is gloating, Qianmai can't laugh or cry.
"Sister, can you turn somersaults?" The little girl immediately fell in love with the pretty sister in front of her, pulling Nan Weiwei's sleeve.
Nan Weiwei's eyes twitched secretly, reflexively pointed to Qian Wheat and said: "She will!"
Hidden Wheat Falls Khan! Nan Weiwei stared fiercely at the "planted and framed" Nan Weiwei, bent over and said to the little boy: "Go and call Cao Shan down, let's play together, okay?"
"He played alone, not with us."
"No. You think of a way to get him down, and I will weave grass crickets for you." Someone began to seduce children immorally.
"That's okay." For the sake of grass crickets, the two children ran up the stream towards the stream.
It was close to noon, and the sun was panicking. Except for the fatigue after a long walk, the three of them are now all dry and dry. Sent to Ouyang Xuan to find water from the well, Qianmai and Nan Weiwei picked some reed leaves around, picked a shaded place, and decided to sit down and wait for the rabbits.
When dealing with children, they really can't think of any other way except to do what they like.
On the edge of the stream, three children are engaged in a tug of war. The little boy and the little girl each took one of Cao Shan's arms and walked down, stop-and-go, stop-and-go, and finally reached the flat ground. It took a long time before he dragged Cao Shan to the shade and pressed down.
"These two children are worth learning from all the salesmen of the company. If everyone is like them, they still worry about what customers can't get." Nan Weiwei joked, took a delicate grass cricket that had been woven from the wheat and got up. Amusing the children to go.
Hidden wheat but smiled, his fingers flew up and down, and continued to weave the grass crickets in his hands. Beside, Cao Shan blushed, lowered his head, and once again pretended to be a wooden man stiffly.
The two did not speak for a long time.
I don't know how long it took, Qianmai stretched out his elbow, gently stabbed Cao Shan, and handed him a pair of scissors. At first, Cao Shan was taken aback again, his eyes looked timidly at Qian Wheat, and it took a long while to take the small scissors in her hand.
"Cut it." Then, Qianmai handed the semi-finished grass cricket to Cao Shan, pointed to one of the reed leaves, and said slowly.
Although inaudible, some common language situations can be accurately guessed. Although he didn't know him, the eyes of strangers told him that these people were harmless. Cao Shan asked suspiciously in his eyes, made a gesture, and moved the small scissors in his hand. After getting a nod from Latent Wheat, he cut it off gently.
Qian Mai did not say thank you, and continued to knit. A few minutes later, the same situation happened again. This time, without communication, Cao Shan must have skillfully cut off the extra part of the reed leaves.
Later, when the knot was encountered, Latent Wheat kept a hand. With a slight gesture to Cao Shan, he will carefully help her draw the reed leaves through the gap.
The two were silent, working as partners. When the third grass cricket was weaved, the reed leaves on the side of the wheat were not enough, and Cao Shan spontaneously ran to the side and picked a bunch of them back.
After weaving the three grass crickets, they were assigned to the hands of the children. Seeing the grass crickets' high-spirited and lively posture, everyone smiled happily. Upstream of the stream, Niu'er has a bulging belly. From the houses on the other side, there was smoke rising up, and there were women calling for the little shepherd boy to go home.
After saying goodbye to "Two Little No Guess", Qianmai grabbed Cao Shan and asked him with gestures, "Can you understand all the gestures I made?"
Cao Shan nodded quickly, staring at the post.
"Why are you hanging magnets behind your ears? How long have you been hanging them?" The first time Cao Shan sat beside her at close range, Latent Wheat keenly discovered two thumb-sized magnets hidden between the hairline behind the ears. .
"It's been more than a year." Cao Shan paused, then pointed his mouth with his fingers: "Mom and Dad said that if you hang this up, your ears will get better."
Nan Weiwei stood by, looking at the two communicating with sign language, confused. And she couldn't think of it, and what happened next made her fall through her glasses.
Because, in the next second, Cao Shan opened his mouth and spit out a rectangular piece of iron.
"Oh my God..." Nan Weiwei screamed in surprise, her mouth open enough to fit a dove egg.
Latent Wheat was sluggish for a few seconds, as if a few ants had gotten inside, out of breath. In the end, he just stroked Cao Shan's ears, his eyes were calm, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and two words came out: "Does it hurt?"
Cao Shan couldn't hear him, so naturally he wouldn't answer. He just let Qianmai's warm bare hands remove the magnet behind his ears and linger in his ears to massage them. For no reason, he trusted and liked the stranger in front of him.
Following Cao Shan and the little scalper, Qianmai and his party walked across the stone arch bridge in silence and walked towards Cao's house along the rugged path. Everyone's expressions were extremely silent and low. Just now, Qianmai explained to them the iron piece spit out from Cao Shan's mouth and the magnet behind his ear.
It is said that in the treatment of patients with poor hearing, traditional Chinese medicine often uses magnets as medicines, such as ear magnet wine, magnet patches and so on. I just don’t know what’s going on. Once it was passed down to ten or a hundred people, it became an iron piece and a magnet. Later, it was regarded as a magic recipe by many poor families in rural areas who were reluctant to spend money to see a doctor.
What people don't know is that medicine is three-point poison, and Chinese medicine uses a strict weight ratio for magnets. If you don’t follow the doctor’s instructions and blindly hang magnets on your ears, your ears will be very painful for a long time, which will not only damage your hearing, but the strong magnetism will even affect your brain.
What kind of sadness is this worse? After all the hardships to obtain the earthwork, I hung up with ardent hope. The result is not only without remedy for the illness, but also aggravated the side effects of the illness. The most ironic and helpless thing is that the source of all this comes from Cao's father and mother's selfless care for Cao Shan and his "not giving up" for decades. The two adults must not know that when they found iron pieces and magnets, thinking that Cao Shan's fate was about to dawn, it was the moment when Cao Shan's illness worsened and his life accelerated. And the driving force behind this bad luck is the one who loves Cao Shan the most.
