Infinite Disaster Survival.

The New Year is coming to an end without knowing it, and before the Lantern Festival is about to come, Grandpa Wen makes a decision.

Go back home this year to have a look.

"Xiaozheng, let's go back to my hometown this year and take a look." Grandpa Wen sat on the sofa, his expression full of sadness.

He stayed away from home for so many years just to forget those memories of the past. Now that he is older, his grandson is living a good life, and even has a great-grandson.People always have to move forward, and the pain of the past will always be healed by time.

Wen Zheng was playing with Tuantuan when he suddenly heard his grandfather say this. After a moment of stiffness, he quickly recovered. He stood up and nodded, "Go back in two days? I'll buy some tickets online."

Tuantuan only knew that his grandparents had passed away a long time ago, and some time ago he went to the cemetery in the city to visit his grandpa, grandma and great-grandmother. Although he was a little curious about the past, his great-grandfather and father didn't talk about it, so Tuantuan didn't ask.

Wen Zheng was still young when he left his hometown, but he remembered clearly what happened back then. At that time, everything he saw was plain white, and his ears were filled with crying. He was taken away from the village by his grandfather not long after. .

Things at that time were also a mess. Wen Zheng couldn't figure it out before, and almost gave up on himself. Fortunately, Grandpa Wen found out, and after a long conversation, Wen Zheng was persuaded to think about it.

Grandpa Wen proposed to go back to the village to take a look this time, and he just went to take a look, but he didn't stay long for a long time, so Wen Zheng didn't pack too much luggage, just a simple suitcase.

Tickets for the Chinese New Year are not easy to buy. Fortunately, the time is approaching the Lantern Festival. They still ran from big cities to small places. Wen Zheng bought the tickets the next day and set off on the morning of the fifteenth day. can arrive.

After the plane arrived, they took a taxi and drove directly to their hometown. They arrived in the town at around [-]:[-] noon. Wen Zheng and the others were not in a hurry to go back to the village, but stopped in the town to have lunch first.

"Things have changed for so many years." Grandpa Wen sighed a little. After leaving his hometown for more than ten years, his hometown has developed very fast, and the town has completely changed. There are not many familiar faces. Only the accent sounds familiar.

"Grandpa, dinner is here." Tuantuan tugged on Grandpa Lawen's sleeve.

The stunned Grandpa Wen came back to his senses, picked up the chopsticks on the table, and reached for the familiar hometown snacks: "Okay, Grandpa, eat."

After dinner, Wen Zheng found a car on the side of the road and took them back to the village.

Now there are fewer tricycles in the town, and there are only buses and this kind of three-wheeled taxis. The people who drive this kind of taxis are older locals, and they rely on the car money to earn some living expenses.

Not long after the driver of this car waited for them to get in the car, he found a topic to start the conversation: "Oh, this child is so cute, did you go to Xiaowa Village to go home for the New Year?"

"Accompany the old man to come back to have a look, and return to the city someday."

"I'm in a hurry to go back to work. Remember to go back to my hometown during the Chinese New Year. It's pretty good."

Wen Zheng smiled and didn't say much.

The driver looked in the rearview mirror at Grandpa Wen who was sitting in the back. He always felt that his face was familiar, but he was not sure, so he asked halfway through the journey: "Young man, the place you are going to is Xiaowa Where in the village? My daughter married here, and I know every family in the village, so I'll send it directly to your doorstep."

Grandpa Wen was looking at the small bridge passing by through the car window. The river under the bridge was frozen, and the bank was covered with dead grass.In the past, the bridge on this river was broken and narrow, and only one cart could pass through it. Now this bridge looks like it was built in the past two years, and it is more than enough for two cars to pass side by side.

Hearing the driver's question, Grandpa Wen thought that he would be back anyway, so he made it clear: "Li Chunsheng, drive directly to my old house, which is the bamboo forest at the entrance of the village. My old house has not been demolished in the village. Alright."

呲——

The sound of emergency brakes sounded, the vehicle wobbled, and finally stopped safely on the road.Grandpa Wen regretted that he shouldn't have said this on the road, but he didn't expect this person to react so strongly.

Li Chunsheng looked back at Grandpa Wen's face carefully, and asked in disbelief after a long time, "Wen Songqing?"

Grandpa Wen nodded: "It's me. Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years." Li Chunsheng is from the next village, and his age is not much different from him. When they were young, the two villages fought in gang fights. .

Li Chunsheng got an affirmative answer, and immediately widened his eyes. Many thoughts turned in his mind, and finally stayed on one question: "Wen Songqing, you are obviously older than me by several years, but now you look younger than me." , no wonder I can’t recognize it.”

They are all in their old age, their complexion is rosy, and the wrinkles on their face are reduced by half compared to their own. It seems that they have lived a good life outside these years.

Looking at Wen Zheng and Wen Ling again, Li Chunsheng smiled and said, "This is your grandson, I remember it's Xiao Zheng, who is this kid?"

"My great-grandson." Grandpa Wen said with a smile, the first thing he saw when he came back was not the people in the village, but an old friend from the next village, which finally made him feel a lot easier.

"They all have great-grandchildren. I can't compare to you in this regard. My grandson is almost thirty and still doesn't want to get married. Make me worry."

The distance from the town to the village is very short, a total of 10 minutes by car, and it will arrive in a blink of an eye.Li Chunsheng sighed silently as he recalled the tragedy that happened more than ten years ago.

In the last few minutes of driving, Li Chunlai still said a few more words: "The development of the village has been relatively good over the years, but young people have gone out to work, and there are many old people and children in the village. There are many old friends from the past. Both passed away, your elder brother has not been in good health for the past two years, I went to his house a few days ago and heard him mention you."

Grandpa Wen said indifferently: "It's been more than ten years, some things are just like that."

As soon as the words fell, the car stopped in front of a dilapidated house. It could be seen that the house was carefully designed when it was built, but it had not been lived in for a long time. After years of wind and rain, it was inevitable that it would be dilapidated.

Wen Zheng was also fascinated looking at this house. It was here that he spent his happy childhood and the most difficult days.

After getting out of the car, Wen Zheng held up Tuantuan's little hand, and walked towards the house with the suitcase in the other hand: "Tuantuan, this is the house where Dad lived when he was a child. This persimmon tree was planted the year Dad was born. of……"

Grandpa Wen looked towards the road not far away, and the previous scene appeared before his eyes.

I once heard that Grandpa is quite prestigious in this village. One of the reasons is that he learned the skill of treating bruises first-hand from others. He opened a small clinic for trauma treatment in the village. The operation was persuaded to go to the hospital. It has been very smooth for many years, but the only accident caused a huge tragedy.

The cause of the incident was a man from another village who broke his hand and came here for treatment. It wasn't a serious injury, and Grandpa Wen took care of it easily.

But just a few days later, this man came to the village to make trouble, insisting that Grandpa Wen's inexperienced medical skills made his hand worse.After the tragedy happened, the family broke down and said that it was the man who didn't follow the doctor's advice, injured his hand again, and came here to touch porcelain on purpose.

People from other villages came to make trouble, but the rest of Xiaowa Village didn't agree, and many people came to help.After the discussion, Wen's father, Wen's mother, and several young people in the village took the troublemaker to the hospital to check the situation, and Wen's grandfather still had patients to deal with and couldn't get away.

Grandpa Wen was waiting at home for the bad news. The tractor going from the village to the hospital had a car accident on the road, and none of the people in the car came back alive.

The truck driver who caused the accident was driving tired and died on the spot. The driver's family came to plead for compensation, but none of the dead could come back alive.

Grandpa Wen endured the death of his son and daughter-in-law, and he also had to face the anger of the villagers. If it wasn't for helping Grandpa Wen, their family would not have taken this trip to go out, nor would they have encountered this accident.Although I know Grandpa Wen's innocence and sadness, but I just can't get over this hurdle in my heart.

During that time, the atmosphere of the whole village was deadly silent, only the sound of cries and funerals.

After painstakingly dealing with the affairs of his son and daughter-in-law, Grandpa Wen realized that he had failed to notice his grandson's situation in the midst of his haste. small impact.Considering Wen Zheng's growth, Grandpa Wen decided to take Wen Zheng out of the village after a few days of thinking and start a new life elsewhere.

For so many years, Grandpa Wen seldom mentioned his hometown because he wanted to escape the tragedy of the past.Without thinking about it, Grandpa Wen's mood was extremely complicated, and it was only because of Wen Zheng that he suppressed these emotions in his heart.Now that he was seriously ill, his grandson had a wonderful experience, and he had a great-grandson, Grandpa Wen gradually figured it out.

Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Most of the people who came back to celebrate the New Year have left, but there are also those who are not in a hurry to go to work. There are many more people staying in the village than usual. Some people noticed that people entered the old houses at the entrance of the village.Most of the young people don't know what's going on, and only the old people think of it when they go home and mention it.

Li Chunsheng, who left, also called Grandpa Wen's elder brother, Wen Songbai.

The people came faster than Wen Zheng had imagined. They were all old people who were about the same age as Grandpa Wen. There was also Wen Zheng's grandpa, who looked a bit like Grandpa Wen, but older.There were some young people watching the excitement outside the room, who asked curiously, but were chased away by the old man next to them, so they could only leave curiously.

"Songqing, are you planning to stay in the village for a few days when you come back this time?" Wen Songbai leaned on a cane in his hand, facing his younger brother who seemed to be about the same age as him, his mood at this moment was so complicated that he couldn't recognize it himself.

Grandpa Wen looked back at his aging elder brother. They had a good relationship when they were young, but they gradually had conflicts when they grew up. Even after the accident, Wen Songbai was sad but also a little happy. He was happy that he was smarter than him since he was a child, and he was more promising than him when he grew up. , even the younger brother, whose only son was better than his two sons, was finally worse than him.

Just because he saw that his elder brother didn't hide his good emotions, and found out his negligence towards Wen Zheng, Grandpa Wen was in despair, and resolutely let go of his concern for the village, and he left for many years.

Now that he is old, Wen Songbai regrets it, but Grandpa Wen doesn't need it.

"Just come back and have a look, and leave at night." Grandpa Wen said in a low voice, taking Wen Zheng with gifts to visit the other families who were victims of the tragedy.

Wen Zheng didn't intend to get involved in the affairs of the village, it was entirely up to Grandpa Wen to decide for himself, and he walked out holding Tuantuan's hand.
