Sourness

Lin Qingshan's eyes, which were always calm and indifferent, as if he had no emotion at all, felt a little sad because of Mi Yue's question.

The extremely pale expression flashed by, but it was still captured by Mi Yue.So he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"Aren't my parents here?"

Lin Qingshan shook his head, "I didn't say it before, I was hopeful, thinking that one day Baoshan would come back, and I would tell you by myself. But for more than 20 years, the phone number in the living room of my hometown has never been changed... I actually... I don’t dare to hope anymore.”

Something in Mi Yue's heart fell straight down, and it kept falling down far away, as if it couldn't reach the edge.However, the cold air in the night surrounded him, and bit by bit, it penetrated the skin and penetrated into the bone.

Lin Qingshan sighed, "Baoshan and I met in the mountains near Quanshui Town. The place where I picked you up was Quanshui Town. When you were three years old, I went back again, but Quanshui Town is already It’s gone. It’s said that there was a once-in-a-century mudslide, many people died, and the rest were relocated by the government.”

Something was beating wildly in Mi Yue's heart, but her whole body was numb, frozen there, she couldn't even move her fingers.

Lin Qingshan added: "When I went to pick you up, I also checked the registration form of the orphanage. Baoshan called me from the orphanage. Besides Baoshan, there was another adult man with them The village chief and the village party secretary."

Miyue thought vaguely, they still have their own village?

Where is the village?

"They sent a total of six children, the oldest is five years old, and the youngest is you, who was born less than a month old. But when I arrived, the other five children had already been picked up. I don’t know if I was picked up by my parents’ family or adopted.”

Lin Qingshan was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "I was too useless at that time, I had no power or power... I can't find out this information, I don't have that authority. Now... the town is gone, and people are gone. It’s gone, so there’s no way to investigate. And it’s not certain whether Baoshan and the others moved with the people from Quanshui Town.”

Speaking of which, Lin Qingshan only knew Miyue's father, and as for Baoshan's other family members, he had never met.And whether Mi Yue's mother is dead or alive, he doesn't know either.

For many years, Lin Qingshan regretted that he was not calm enough.He received a call from Baoshan, and when he heard that a baby under the age of one month was waiting for him to pick him up in the orphanage, he immediately panicked, thinking about whether the conditions of the orphanage are okay, whether there are enough people, and whether there is any milk powder for him. he drank

His mind was full of these questions, and he was in a panic until he rushed to the orphanage, took the earthen cloth swaddle from the staff, saw the white and tender baby sleeping with his eyes closed, It took a long way to put my heart back into my cavity.

But at this time, he could no longer contact Baoshan.

Lin Qingshan said: "When I went to pick you up, I went to the town to inquire about the situation in the mountains. Everyone said that there was an earthquake in the mountains, and several villages were affected. Many injured people, children, and old people were sent to Quanshui Town. The schools and institutions I went to were arranged to resettle the victims. Later, I heard that the army went to the mountain to rescue..."

The numbness in Mi Yue's heart gradually disappeared, and he seemed to have revived from the stiffness after thawing, and his heartbeat also resumed, hitting his chest one after another, with dull pain.

Lin Qingshan patted his head, "I know it's hard for you to hear this, but I've already said this, let's finish it at once."

Mi Yue sat a little closer and put her head on Lin Qingshan's shoulder.This was a trick he would often use when he was young, but when he grew up and had more brothers and sisters around him, he seldom pestered Lin Qingshan for cheating anymore.

"You were too young at that time, and I had never taken care of children, so I was helpless. Some old people said that it was difficult to take such a small child on the road, so I simply rented a house in the town and lived there for two months. The landlord's uncle and aunt will help you take care of you, and I can also go out to inquire about Baoshan."

Lin Qingshan sighed again when he said this, "At that time, the town was in chaos... people were everywhere... the town hospital was guarded by troops, and some people died before they were sent to the town ..."

Mi Yue leaned on his shoulder, as if part of Lin Qingshan's anger had also been transmitted to him, and what he said seemed to bring him back to the messy town many years ago.

"During those days, I was so devastated..." Lin Qingshan sighed deeply, with a kind of rejoicing that he seemed to be alive after a catastrophe, "During the day, the landlady helped take care of the children. But at night, I have to rely on myself gone."

"You were probably shocked... This is what the landlady said. During the day, you behaved better, but at night, you cried and howled and didn't sleep. I had to hold you, and wandered back and forth in the room all night. You hum a little song..."

Mi Yue wanted to laugh, but her eyes were sore.

"So many people came to the town all of a sudden, I was nervous about everything, and I couldn't buy milk powder, so I called and asked Qin Han to buy it and send it to me. If there was any leftover, I took it to the orphanage for other children to drink... Later, I heard that the epicenter of the earthquake was in the mountains deep in the Qinling Mountains, and more than 30 villages were affected, and many villages disappeared in that earthquake..."

The master and apprentice were silent for a long time. As the night was getting late, the wind by the river also picked up.Da Mao jumped down from the tree, pulled Mi Yue's arm away familiarly, and slipped into his arms.

Mi Yue looked down, and Da Mao was also looking up at him, and tugged at his arm with some dissatisfaction, wanting him to hug her like usual.

Mi Yue's heart warmed up.

He hugged it in his arms according to Da Mao's will, and lowered his head to push it on the forehead.

Da Mao closed his eyes comfortably, shrunk in the temperature he liked, as if planning to go to sleep right away.

Lin Qingshan laughed, "Your father was also like this at the time. I broke my leg in the mountains at that time. He set the bone for me, and then put me in the cave and didn't allow me to move around. He also sent two The fat bear looked at me. I was scared to death, afraid that they would eat me for lunch when they were hungry... Every time I saw your father go back to the cave, I was as excited as seeing a fairy."

Mi Yue muffled a laugh.

"He also lied to me, saying that the bears were not arranged by him at all... I actually heard them all, I heard him talking to them..." Lin Qingshan paused and shook his head, "He still doesn't admit it, but those animals are in front of him He was really obedient, like a child... I suspected that he had some special ability at that time."

When Lin Qingshan said this, he snorted a little childishly, "He refused to say, and said that I was guessing... His son came to tell me if he was a fool?! If Baoshan knew, he must I'm so angry."

He laughed haha ​​while talking, and after laughing twice, he remembered that Miyue's parents were still alive and dead, and became silent again.

After a while, he said to Mi Yue: "Just pretend that they are still alive, but these special abilities cannot be easily known to others, so they avoid people. Maybe one day, he really came to the door... Anyway There are still people living in the house in my hometown, as long as I make that call, I can always answer it."

Miyue thought about the words Lin Qingshan told him all night, tossing and turning, until it was almost dawn before falling asleep in a daze.

In his dream, he saw two naive brown bears, both half-sized and chubby.They ran around a huge rock chasing and frolicking.

Behind them is a narrow cave, about the height of a person, less than ten square meters in size, barely enough for a single room.

The ground near the cave was covered with a layer of dry branches and dry grass. A young man was lying on it, with a leg wrapped in a bandage and two branches tied, as if he had broken his leg.

He lay there half dead, his eyes glanced at the brown bear playing at the entrance of the cave from time to time, and his face looked hopeless.

A man about his age was sitting with his back facing the entrance of the cave. In front of him was a simple stove built of stones. There was a small pot on the stove, steaming, as if he was cooking something.

This is a tall young man, slightly bulging muscles can be seen on the shoulders, with the unique vigor of young men.

Mi Yue's sight was attracted by the figure from behind, as he looked at him, his heart began to beat.

Then he heard the wounded man on the haystack say bitterly: "You let them go home...go to find Mama Bear...Really, I will never move. My own legs, right, I Will definitely pay attention to..."

The man sitting with his back looked up at him, and there was laughter in his clear voice, "What do you think? I can still command bears? You think I'm a mountain god? Besides, aren't they here? You guard the gate, if a wolf really comes, it won't come in and grab you."

Mi Yue's heart was full of sourness, he wanted to get closer, even closer, it would be better if he could see what the cook looked like.

Neither of them seemed to have noticed that there was someone approaching from outside the cave. The man who was cooking was holding a large bowl, and while filling hot soup from the pot with a wooden spoon, he said with a smile: "This pheasant is very fat." , The dried mushrooms are also dried by myself, you are lucky... come and taste it."

Mi Yue smelled an aroma, the fresh aroma of chicken soup mixed with the aroma of mushrooms.

Mi Yue wanted to get closer, but saw the scene in front of her flicker, then turned into a cloud of thick fog and disappeared.

Mi Yue opened her eyes, and saw that the curtains were half drawn, and the bright light was shining through the gauze curtains, it was already daylight.

There was the sound of running water in the bathroom, and the quilt was pushed away on the other bed next to it, Lin Qingshan had already woken up.

When I returned to the hotel last night, I realized that Lin Qingshan was also staying in this hotel.There were standard rooms on both sides, so the master and apprentice simply returned one room.

Mi Yue sat up in a daze, when she heard a click from the bathroom, Lin Qingshan came out wrapped in a bathrobe, her hair was still steamed.Seeing that he was also awake, he said, "Clean up and go out for dinner later."

Mi Yue rubbed her eyes, "I dreamed of you just now. You were lying in a cave with a few sticks on your legs."

Lin Qingshan was taken aback.

"Outside the cave, there are two half-sized fat bears running around the rocks. A man is sitting at the entrance of the cave and cooking soup. He also said that the pheasant is very fat, and the mushrooms are dried by himself..."

Lin Qingshan's face changed slightly, "What else did he say?"

"I also said that the bear will watch the door for you, and the wolf will not pick you up when it comes." Miyue originally said it as a joke, but after she finished speaking, Lin Qingshan froze there motionless , I was also taken aback, "Master?"

Lin Qingshan came back to his senses slowly, but still looked at Miyue as if he had seen a ghost, "... that's what we said at the time."

Mi Yue realized what he meant and was also dumbfounded.

The master and apprentice looked at each other, and after a while they asked each other in unison: "Are you psychic?"

"Am I entrusted with a dream?"

"..."

"..."

After a long time, Lin Qingshan reached out and touched Miyue's head, sighed, "You brat, you always have some strange adventures. Maybe Baoshan really came to dream."

Mi Yue didn't know what to say anymore, he stared at him blankly, and asked him over and over again, "Did you really say that? Did you remember correctly?"

Lin Qingshan was also in a daze, and asked him after a while, "Have you seen Baoshan's face?"

Miyue shook her head.

Lin Qingshan showed a regretful expression, "Baoshan is a rare handsome man."

Mi Yue, "..."

He didn't want to see Baoshan because he was good-looking.

Lin Qingshan sighed, "Maybe I will see it in my next dream."

But Mi Yue was thinking in her heart, if this is his own father who came to give him a dream, does it mean...he is really gone? !

The author has something to say:

More than 20 years ago, the earthquake in Dashan~~

Winter solstice, Xiaoqi, including Qingshu...these children left the mountain in batches~~

As for whether Mi Yue will meet them in the future, he hasn't decided yet.It's a different story after all~~~
