Chapter 23: Memories (top)

Seeing Grandma Li, the woman opened her eyes and called out "Mom" in a weak voice. It seems that all the strength is only enough to say this one word.

Grandma Li leaned over and told her not to talk anymore. He took out a clean handkerchief, wiped her face and hands, and kept saying, "It's okay, don't be afraid."

I sat with Grandma Li in the hospital until the afternoon, and then Grandma Li hurriedly asked me to go back because of my unbearable stomach growls. When we were saying goodbye, she wanted to go downstairs to buy me something to eat, but I quickly refused. Yes, tell her to stay with her daughter in the hospital.

I went back to my dormitory with some sadness, but I went back and opened the door to see that there was no one in the dormitory. After asking, I found out that the boys in the class formed a group to sing KTV, and I missed it because I was not there. I turned on the computer and played a few times, but soon I felt bored, and I thought of Grandma Li again.

Before I left, I wanted to return the Yuhua Stone to Grandma Li, but unexpectedly, she waved her hands away and said she would give it to me.

"It's not expensive, but take it, it's pretty pretty."

I fell on the bed, holding the small stone in my hand and looking at it repeatedly. I'm afraid Grandma Li also felt that it was impossible to find the mountain god she met back then. She who strongly begged Mr. Wen that day was just grabbing the last straw to save her life because she really didn't want her daughter to die.

I remembered what Mr. Wen said that day.

"People are born, old, sick, and die, but what is destined by the sky is delusional to reverse, and human beings are too arrogant."

After seeing her daughter with Grandma Li today, I have a deeper understanding of this sentence.

If you can't find it... there is no way, I can only apologize to Grandma Li. As I thought about it, I fell asleep in a daze.

In the field of vision is a piece of lush green, the stream is gurgling, and the sound of a girl crying can be heard somewhere.

"It hurts, it really hurts!"

A girl in a floral skirt was squatting on the ground, her knee seemed to be broken, and she was crying with her head down. Standing beside the little girl was a boy in white clothes, looking at her helplessly.

"That, that, don't cry..."

But the little girl just cried louder.

"Does it really hurt?"

"It hurts!" The little girl retorted with her eyes wide open.

"Then, what should I do..." The young man looked like he was about to cry. After thinking about it for a long time, he took out a beautiful rain flower stone from his pocket and handed it to the little girl.

"This is for you, don't cry."

As soon as the little girl saw the stone, she stopped crying and took the stone while wiping her tears.

"It's so beautiful."

"Pretty isn't it?"

"Where did you get it?"

"It's over there." The boy pointed to the stream, "There are many beautiful stones like this over there."

"Really?"

"Um!"

"I also want to find beautiful stones. But my leg hurts." The little girl suddenly lost her temper, "It's all your fault!"

The young man was extremely aggrieved, "Why do you blame me... Obviously you fell down by yourself."

"You didn't help me!"

The boy didn't refute anymore, but just scratched his head helplessly.

"Wait for me." After saying that, the boy got into the bushes.

"Hey, why are you going! Don't leave me alone!"

After a while, the boy came back again, holding a handful of thin grass in his hand. He walked up to the girl, chewed the grass in his mouth twice, spit it out again, and applied it to the wound on the girl's knee.

"What are you doing?" the little girl asked curiously.

"This is a herbal medicine for wounds. Wait for a while, and the pain will disappear after a while."

The boy helped the little girl to stand up, and sure enough, the wound on her knee did not hurt so much.

"How do you even understand these things?" The little girl's expression was filled with admiration.

The boy was a little proud, "Didn't I tell you before, I am the mountain god on this mountain. As long as it is about the mountains, there is nothing I don't understand!"

"You are amazing!"

"Yeah, it's not that powerful..."

"Let's go! Let's go find the stone!"

Time passed by every minute and every second, and before I knew it, the sky darkened, and the sun had quietly set at some point.

"Oops! It's too late, I have to go home before my mother finds out!" The little girl hurriedly stood up.

"Then I'll take you back!" The boy stood up immediately.

"No, it's going to be too late!" Saying that, the girl ran down the hill. After running for two steps, he stopped suddenly and looked back at the boy.

"Well... If I come back tomorrow, can I still see you?"

"Of course! I'll be waiting for you under this jujube tree!" The boy said affirmatively, and patted the big tree behind him.

"Yeah!" The girl showed a bright smile.

However, neither of them knew. The tomorrow that we promised to meet again never came again.

In the morning, I woke up from my dream and stared at the pale ceiling for a long time. Blinking his eyes, he realized that, as if in a dream, his eye sockets were inexplicably wet.

"I see!"

Shi Yitong and Su Xiaoyun were taken aback by me being out of breath, and Shi Yitong complained even more.

"Brother! It's not me who said, why do you come over and interfere every time I am alone with the goddess. What kind of heart do you have?"

Su Xiaoyun didn't mind at all, but asked me with concern, "What's the matter?"

"I see, we found the wrong place yesterday!" I pressed my hands on my knees, and managed to catch my breath.

"Yesterday?" Su Xiaoyun responded quickly, "You mean when you were in Xiaoyao Mountain?"

I nodded and said affirmatively, "Yesterday we only looked for the front of the mountain, because only the front of the mountain is open as a scenic spot. But the place where Grandma Li met the mountain god was not in front of the mountain but behind the mountain. There is a small road A stream and a jujube tree."

Su Xiaoyun asked strangely, "Then...how did you know?"

"Don't worry about it, anyway, I know! Absolutely!"

Su Xiaoyun hesitated, but still gave me a firm look, "Okay, since you said so, let's go and have a look again!"

"Wait? Why are you still going!" Shi Yitong groaned in pain.

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and keep up!"

We avoided the tourist passages in the scenic area, and picked among the bushes where no one walked, and opened up a road with the branches of the trees. After finally going around to the back of the mountain, I heard the sound of the gurgling stream, and my eyes lit up.
