The last elf

When I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn. .biquge

I rubbed my eyes and found that I was lying on a bed, but Ahri was not around at this time.

At this time, I heard something moving outside, so I put on my shoes and got out of bed and walked out of the room.

When I walked into the main room, I saw an old woman kneeling in front of a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva and offering incense to it.

"Where is this?"

Hearing the sound behind her, the old woman did not turn around, but continued to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva and said: "This is my home. A girl carried you here last night."

"What about her?"

"Go out early in the morning."

I raised my head and looked at the ancestral tablets of this family, which were dedicated to the ancestors of the Xu family. This showed that the place I was in at this time was still the Xujia Village.

At this time, I thought of the fire last night again, so I quickly asked her: "Old lady, how is the fire last night now?"

"It has been extinguished! This kind of fire occurs all the time. There is no need to make a fuss. It will be extinguished overnight. Just look back."

After hearing this, I turned around and saw that the deep mountain in the distance had turned dark and smoking, and the fire had long been extinguished.

Ah Li must have gone up the mountain to find Xueying, and I’m going too!

With this thought in mind, I walked out the door, but after just a few steps, my stomach began to growl, followed by a burst of stomach pain.

"Young man, where are you going? What do you want to do with an empty stomach and nothing to eat?"

The old woman finally turned around, and I saw her eyes were so kind.

"Are you sure you don't want to sit down and eat something to fill your stomach before leaving?"

I lowered my head and thought about it carefully. With my current physical condition, I might have fainted from hunger before I even reached the bottom of the mountain, so I'd better fill my stomach first and wait until I regain my strength before going up the mountain.

So I walked back into the house obediently, and then sat at the table. The old woman smiled and nodded, then got up and went to the kitchen to bring out a pot of millet porridge and a plate of rice cakes.

Smelling the aroma of millet porridge and rice cakes, I couldn't help it anymore. I picked up my chopsticks and wolfed down the food. The old lady seemed very happy to see me eating so deliciously. Then she said to me: "After my wife passed away, Ah, I am the only one left at home, and no guests have come to the house for a long time."

"What about your children? Where have they gone?" I asked while eating.

The old woman sighed and said, "They are all busy, making money in the city."

"Then you can go to the city and live with them!"

"Well, I'm old, my legs are bad, and I don't want to cause trouble to them. I can't get used to the life in the city, and there's no one to talk to there. I might as well stay here and be more comfortable. I'm fine when I'm fine. I just go to my neighbors’ houses to visit them, I just hope they can come back and see me more often when they are free!”

I don't know why, but when I heard this, I suddenly felt the urge to cry.

Although I have never experienced this kind of life of staying alone in a house until the end of my life, but just listening to it makes me feel very sad, because I am a person who is afraid of loneliness. If my old age is like this, then I might as well hang myself. never mind.

Nowadays, the elderly lack nothing but care. They don’t want anything. The only thing they want is that their children can go home to spend more time with them. Logically speaking, this request shouldn’t be too much, right? It’s not difficult to achieve, right? But why are so many people unsatisfied? We always use the excuse that we are busy at work and say we will go back when we are free, but who knows, although we can wait, can they wait? Even if you can wait, how long can you wait? Many times what we say "wait until next time" may mean waiting for the next life to them.

Therefore, it is better to go home and spend time with the elderly when you have nothing to do, than to stay at home and sleep in or watch TV and surf the Internet. This is a responsibility. Don't wait until the person is gone to regret it. By then it will be too late.

I want to raise my son, but where are my relatives?

Just when I lowered my head and remained silent, Ahri came back.

"Master! Sister Xueying is back!"

I turned around and saw Ah Li standing at the door holding Xueying and shouting to me.

"Xueying! What happened to Xueying?!"

After I finished speaking, I quickly stepped forward and took Xueying from her arms, then looked at Ahri and asked.

"Sister Xueying is fine. She just fainted and will wake up after a while."

After putting Xueying on the bed and covering her with a quilt, I solemnly held Ahri's hand and said to her: "Ahri, thank you! You have saved us many times. I really don't know how to thank you. .”

Ahri wiped the sweat from his head and said to me with a smile: "Master, you're welcome, this is what Ahri should do!"

"By the way, look at this!"

I suddenly remembered something, took out the water dragon ball, put it in front of Ah Li and asked, "Do you know this?"

Ah Li looked at it for a while and said, "I don't know it! But this shouldn't be something from the human race, right?"

"I heard from the Dragon Clan person yesterday that these are water dragon beads, but I don't know what they are used for."

"Dragon ball? Then let's take it back and show it to Xixi. She must know what it is used for."

I nodded: "That's all we can do. Let's go back as soon as Xueying wakes up!"

In this way, Xueying stayed at her mother-in-law's house until about two o'clock in the afternoon, when Xueying woke up.

According to Xueying's recollection, after I left, the dragon man launched a fierce attack on her. Xueying knew that she was no match for him, so she had to use the trick "ice and snow" to freeze the opponent and quickly find him when he was unable to move. He found a hiding place and hid, but when he couldn't find Xueying, he actually wanted to set fire to Xueying. After the fire started, the fire quickly spread to the entire mountain, and the smoke that came out choked Xueying. She was dizzy and just when Xueying thought she was going to choke to death from the thick smoke, she found a pool of clear water, but she was also worried that she would drown if she jumped in, so she had to wrap ice cubes around her body. He turned himself into an ice sculpture and sank to the bottom of the pond.

"At that time, I searched the whole mountain. Fortunately, I got into the bottom of the pond with my last hope and found Sister Xueying. Otherwise, I would still be looking for her now!" Ah Li said excitedly.

I touched her head and I really didn't know what else to say except thank you.

"Master, let's go back? Everyone was worried about you when I came."

"Wait a minute. I have something to do before I go back. You and Xueying will wait for me here for a while." After saying that, I walked out of the room and went straight to Aunt Huilian's house.

After knocking on the door, Aunt Huilian was very surprised to see me: "Yunfeng?! Didn't you go back?!"

"Huh? I didn't go back... Who did you hear that?"

"Last night, I saw you two hadn't come back at dinner time, so I asked Zichen to look for you, but I couldn't find you after searching for a long time. Later, someone told me that I saw you two walking outside the village, so I thought you suddenly had something. I'm back because of an emergency!"

"Well, well... something did happen last night, so I didn't have time to come back and say goodbye to you. But this time, I really came to say goodbye to you."

After hearing this, Aunt Huilian was stunned for a while, then she held my hand and said, "Are you leaving now? Why don't you stay and play for a few more days before leaving? You see, you finally made it to Harbin, but Auntie didn't even have time." Treat you well..."

"Aunt Huilian, I really have to leave. Besides, I already know everything about you and my dad. My dad has always missed you and he still has something to say to you..."

As I said that, I picked up the phone and dialed my dad's number. After he answered the call, I didn't say anything, but directly handed the phone to Aunt Huilian.

Aunt Huilian said into the mobile phone: "Yunshan, it's me..."

Then there was a long silence.

I guess Dad must have heard that it was Aunt Huilian's voice at this time, so there must have been silence on his side.

After a while, Aunt Huilian asked in a trembling voice: "Are you okay..."

Aunt Huilian started crying while she was talking. When I saw this scene, I consciously walked aside.

At this time, even if I heard the conversation between them, I still couldn't understand the feelings between them. I couldn't imagine keeping a person in my heart for nearly twenty years, and then one day suddenly hearing that person's voice, that feeling... What a feeling.

Looking at the sky in the distance, I sighed: Emotion is such a strange thing.

Half an hour later, I looked back and saw that they were still chatting.

An hour later, still talking...

No way, my heart is bleeding, this is a long distance! Harbin to Leping! Across provinces! ! !

But what can I do? I can’t let people finish the story, right? So I had to squat in the corner with tears in my eyes and wait silently for them to finish.

I don’t know how long it took, but it was a long time before Aunt Huilian called me over and returned the phone to me. The moment I took the phone, I looked at the call time, which was one hour, forty-eight minutes and twelve seconds...

Dad, Dad, you two are having a great time reminiscing about old friendships. Take pity on my phone bill... Anyway, you have to recharge one thousand for me later! This matter is not negotiable!

Before leaving, Aunt Huilian made a final offer to stay, but I still declined. I said I would come again next time and bring my dad with me!

Alas, I actually can’t bear to leave. It’s so nice here. The air is nice and there are so many people playing. It’s much better than in the city.

After bidding farewell to Aunt Huilian, I went to my old woman's house and called Xueying and Ah Li out. The old woman also wanted to persuade us to stay for a few more days, but I reluctantly declined because there were more important things waiting for us there. Go back and solve it.

When I walked out of Xujiacun, I couldn't help but look back. This peaceful and peaceful scene looked so familiar, just like when I first came here. Being able to maintain this scene throughout shows that the people in this village are very kind. .

And kind people are destined to be happy.
