Chapter 433 The Life of the Blind

At this moment, in a dilapidated and low farmer's house in Chengzhong Village, Chengbei District, Yang Yiyao, who was selected by Chen Li as the experimental subject, is sitting on a small bench at the door, quietly basking in the sun, enjoying her rare warm time.

She carefully took off the blindfold on her face, opened her eyes hard, and turned her face to the direction of the sun that her skin felt, as if trying to catch a ray of light with the eyeballs that no longer existed.

But it was obviously futile, and the light in her life had actually been gone since the fire two years ago.

Both her parents were killed. When the firefighters rescued them, her eyes were already blinded by the strong smoke stimulation. At that time, she didn't know what it meant. What blindness and death had not yet formed a complete the concept of.

She would only hold her mother's body and not let go, and when she was identified and told her that "mother is no longer there", she cried and said that her mother was still hot.

If it is dead, then the body should be cold, right?

This is the shallow knowledge she has learned from TV.
-
In this era of information explosion, children of her age mature earlier than their peers in the previous decade, but the early ones are limited.

It took her a month to come to terms with the results she couldn't see, because at best it was moving less, but it took her half a year to come to terms with the absence of her parents.

At the beginning, she would subconsciously call her mother when she heard the alarm clock wake up, saying "Mom, turn on the lights" over and over again; she would also stumble out the door when she heard the car horn outside. Going, she broke herself several times; but more often, she vented her violent temper like a child, angrily driving away caregivers arranged by the community one after another.

It is precisely because of this that her adoption procedures have been delayed.

Who would want to accept a down-to-earth brat who smashes everything in the house at every turn?That bit of compassion and empathy for the weak will soon be exhausted in the almost endless torment.

In the end, the only one left by her side was her elder brother, the child who was also underage.

My brother always comforted her, told her the story of Helen Keller, taught her to recognize the room she lived in from scratch, taught her to dress herself, bathe herself, and even taught her to use a smartphone in blind mode. "Watch" the cartoons she used to like.

After two full years, she finally began to become docile, and finally learned to sit and wait quietly when no one was around. For a little girl who is only less than 7 years old, even if she is a healthy person, this is also difficult. It can already be regarded as commendable.

The sun mixed with the scorching wind blowing across Yang Yiyao's face, she felt something gently passing by her face, so she curiously grabbed that thing with her hand, and then she found that it was just her hair.

She curled up a strand of hair with her fingers, and then pulled it tight, feeling the slight tingling sensation from the scalp. This kind of touch made her feel a little novel, but after playing for a while, she lost it. interest.

She let go of her hair, groped for the wall beside her, and walked to the left along the base of the wall.

Go a few more steps and you will encounter a bicycle that is parked there forever, go around it carefully, and the most important thing is not to be hit by the pedals of the bicycle.

After bypassing the bicycle, you have to be careful to step on the small pit left by years of trampling. In that pit, the dirty water poured from the neighbors has accumulated. If the shoes are dirty, the elder brother will criticize himself.

After bypassing the puddle, the wall in front of her was suddenly empty, so she knew that she had arrived at the house of the old man called "Second Grandpa", and at the same time, there was a pungent smell of tobacco in her nose. The smell of tobacco reminded her of the feeling of the second uncle's stubble on her face.

She doesn't like how the second uncle pricks herself with stubble, but fortunately he has stopped doing this in the past two years, and only occasionally when he brings snacks to the house for himself, he will pinch her face with rough fingers. Then he said, "The scar on my daughter's face is so shallow, she will be a handsome girl again in two years."

What is a scar?What is a handsome girl?
She didn't have any idea about these two words, but the chocolate brought back by the second uncle was delicious.

Just as she straightened her arms and adjusted her body balance to walk through the door of the second uncle, the second uncle's angry voice suddenly came from her ear:

"Yaoyao, where are you going? That hand is stretched out like a little zombie!"

Hearing the second uncle's voice, she froze for a moment, then turned around subconsciously, and replied towards the door in her consciousness:
"Second uncle, I'm going to play in the courtyard."

"Why are you going to the courtyard to play? There is a street stall over there, playing gongs and drums, and I will abduct you later. Come here! Come to the second uncle, and the second uncle will bring you chocolates to eat!"

Hearing what the second uncle said, Yaoyao hesitated for a moment, and finally turned around groping.

Seeing her actions, the second uncle said with satisfaction:
"Hey, that's right. Come on, come here by yourself, can you hear my voice? Do you know where I am? Yes, yes, come on, keep going!"

Yaoyao listened carefully to the other party's voice, and moved over carefully step by step, and when her hand touched the stubble on the other party's face, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Second uncle, Beard!"

"Hahahahaha, it's a beard. Yaoyao is getting smarter and smarter. Come on, sit down and I'll get you chocolates."

While talking, the second uncle picked her up and put her on a chair that was still a certain height for her, then got up and left.

Listening to the voice of the other party going away, Yaoyao sniffled, she smelled a complex aroma mixed with meaty and smoky, this is the first time this kind of aroma appeared in her memory.

"Second uncle, what are you cooking?"

The second uncle in the room replied loudly:

"It's not cooking, it's smoked bacon! I'll cut a piece for you later, and let your brother cook it for you when he comes back, you know?"

"My brother won't let me ask for your things."

Hearing this, the second uncle who had already approached with chocolates couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't listen to your brother's nonsense, you don't want anything from your second uncle, who else can you want? Come, eat chocolate, and I'll cut bacon for you."

Yaoyao nodded, carefully wiped off the dust from her hands, and fumbled to unpack the chocolate, but just as she was about to stuff the chocolate into her mouth, she accidentally dropped the chocolate that had already peeled off the wrapper and fell to the ground.

The intermittent sound of chopping vegetables was heard not far away. She sat there for a while, first raised her legs and crossed the chair, then bent down with great effort, and groped the ground in front of her with her hands to make sure that there was nothing on the ground. After dropping the chocolate, he carefully climbed down from the chair, then squatted down, and fumbled for the piece of chocolate that fell to nowhere.

This is a difficult job for her. She started from standing and gradually knelt down, and finally crawled under the chair, but fortunately, every household has tiles now, and when she finally finds the piece of chocolate , it's not that dirty.
-
From a tactile sense, it's not that dirty.

She rubbed the chocolate on her clothes a few times and put it in her pocket, then groped to climb up the chair again, and when the second uncle cut the bacon and turned around, she happened to see the scene of her taking out the chocolate from her pocket.

"Ouch! Don't eat it! Your pocket is full of ashes! What's wrong? Did it fall to the ground?"

"Ok!"

Yaoyao nodded slightly, the other party took the chocolate in her hand, took out a tissue to wipe it clean, and then stuffed it back into her hand.

"Come on, let's eat. You won't get sick if you don't do anything dirty. We didn't pay much attention when we were young. I heard from your brother that you are going to see a doctor tomorrow night?"

"Go see a doctor."

"Where did you go? What kind of doctor did you see?"

"For the eyes. Go to the university to see it!"

"Don't talk about it. Your eyes are bad. It's useless for me to ask you. When your brother comes back, I'll ask him. Don't be cheated of your subsidy again. Okay, you sit and eat." Well, the second uncle is going to be busy."

"After eating for a while, go home and watch TV by yourself, don't run around, is your phone in your pocket?"

Yaoyao took out the mobile phone from her pocket and shook it, the second uncle nodded in relief.

"I put the bacon on the side for you, come on, you can hold it to see if you can carry it, is it okay? It's not too heavy!"

"Our Yaoyao is really capable, even better than my little granddaughter."

In the second uncle's compliments, Yaoyao finished eating the chocolate in her hand, then said goodbye to the second uncle, and walked out of the room cautiously.

What she didn't know was that the second uncle who said he was going to be busy actually followed her all the time. He didn't shake his head until he saw her walk to the small bench at the door of his house and sit down.

Yaoyao raised her face, she could feel that the angle of the sun had changed slightly, and the alarm clock on her mobile phone reminded her that there were 3 hours left before her brother came home, and in the next three hours, she kept on like that Sitting on the bench, only occasionally hearing the approaching siren, would he stand up and take a few steps back in the direction of the door.

The surrounding light gradually dimmed, but to her, the only thing that changed was the surrounding temperature.

She didn't hear the voice of her elder brother Yang Yijin from a distance until the last alarm clock of the day came on.

"elder brother!"

She stood up excitedly, holding the bacon in one hand, groping the wall with the other and stumbling forward, while the figure opposite her quickly ran two steps forward and grabbed her hand.

"Are you good at home today? Did you go to class?"

"Go! I'm done!"

"What did you learn today?"

"I learned the multiplication table today, but I can't memorize it."

"It's okay, come on, Yaoyao, call me uncle."

While speaking, he handed the hand holding the other party to Ye Zhou who came with him.

"This is Uncle Ye, this is Uncle Chen. Uncle Ye will take you to treat your eyes tomorrow, please say thank you."

There was a rare look of joy on Yaoyao's face, she shook Ye Zhou's hand vigorously like a little adult, and then said solemnly:

"Thank you uncle!"
