Tranquility

It was noon when Tangning arrived home.Mrs. Tang had already cooked the meal and was chasing Shuan Zi to feed her. Seeing him come back, she was a little surprised and asked, "Why are you back at this time?"

"The school will be closed for a month, and the master will take his daughter to the town to see a doctor," Tangning replied.

"Is it the doctor you mentioned last time? Did your husband say to help us connect?" Mrs. Tang asked nervously and expectantly.

"Well, it's the doctor. Today, my husband said that if the doctor agrees, he will send me a letter. However, I also said that the doctor is not popular with everyone. He doesn't like to show off, and he will give you more money if he doesn't like it." Don't even show it."

Tang Ning didn't want Mrs. Tang to hold too much hope. The more she hoped, the more disappointed she would be. He had never met Dr. Lu before. He said that he was superb in medicine and good at treating children's diseases, but he also reminded him not to spread the word.Although the husband said that Dr. Lu likes children very much, he felt from the tone of his tone that this doctor is not the kind of good doctor who is benevolent and helpful to the world, but has the demeanor of a strange doctor in martial arts novels.

Mrs. Tang smiled and nodded repeatedly: "I know, miracle doctors always have a weird temper." She said so, but she didn't think so in her heart. Who doesn't love money in this world, and she sold the hairpin a few days ago. A lot of money, very confident in my heart.Thinking that her son would be as healthy and lively as other children, she felt sweet in her heart, and her eyes became more gentle as she looked at her son.

Tangning also smiled, "Have you delivered food to Dad and Brother?"

"No, I will send it after I finish feeding the embolus."

"No, I'll go and deliver it."

Tangning delivered food to his father and brother who were farming in the field, and after a few sloppy meals, he went back to the room. He was still restless in his heart. He walked back and forth in the room, and then put on the stones that he usually used to practice calligraphy. Force yourself to hold your breath and concentrate on practicing Qizi seriously.It has to be said that the habit of four years is still very effective. Tangning soon immersed herself in the realm of silent writing, completely forgetting herself.

I don't know how long it took, as if the scream from thousands of miles away in the early morning finally arrived, Tangning was awakened from the world of ecstasy by it, and then a series of miserable howls came in from outside.

"Shuanzi! Mother's Shuanzi! Someone! Help! Come, someone!"

It was Mrs. Tang's voice. Tangning's heart sank. She hurriedly opened the door and ran out. He bumped into Zhang Ergou's house at the door. He didn't care about why she was here. He passed her and went straight to the direction where the voice came from - the main room later.

As soon as he rushed out of the corner, he saw Mrs. Tang lying on the edge of the well, calling Shuanzi hoarsely, with her entire upper body stretched into the well, she straightened up suddenly, and was about to jump into the well.

Tangning suddenly fell into an ice cellar, and her heart sank to the bottom of the valley. There was a buzzing in her head, her brother fell into the well!However, when he saw Mrs. Tang was about to jump into the well, he rushed over to hold her tightly without thinking too much.But after all, he was only a ten-year-old child, and Mrs. Tang was in the throes of excitement, she broke free a few times, and pushed him down violently.Fortunately, Zhang Dezhu's family next door heard the sound and saw that something was wrong, so they hurried over, leaning on the fence, turned over and entered the yard, taking Tangning's place in holding Mrs. Tang.

Zhang Dezhu's family hugged Mrs. Tang and shouted: "Sister and sister, you won't be able to pull him back if you jump off. Calm down. Don't hurt him at this time. Go and call someone!"

At this time, the movement of the Tang family had already alarmed the neighbors, and a few children ran out from the two nearby families. It was the beginning of spring plowing, and the strong laborers in the village were all working in the fields. They all help out in the fields, and those left behind belong to the elderly and children.

Tangning got up from the ground, thinking that her younger brother was still at the bottom of the well, she was burning with anxiety. At this time, delaying for even a minute could kill her. Even if she didn't drown, the well water could freeze to death.He made a decisive decision, picked up the well rope, wrapped it around his waist a few times, tied a slipknot, and said to the people behind:

"I'll go down and pull my brother up, and you pull the rope."

Aunt Tang didn't care about wiping her tears, she immediately grabbed the rope and screamed at the people behind: "Quick, quick!"

The others didn't talk nonsense. They pulled the rope and let Tangning down into the well. After all, it was a matter of life and death. The rope went down very fast. Tangning was so strangled that she felt like vomiting. It was already dark in front of her eyes. He called his brother a few times, There was no echo, and there seemed to be no movement at the bottom of the well, and his heart sank.

Soon, Tangning reached the bottom of the well, and she was also submerged in the water. The cold well water made him shiver constantly, and his fingers were numb from the cold. The Tang family's well was neither deep nor wide. Tangning's legs were spread apart. Holding on to the wall of the well, he groped down a few times and found the plug. He pulled up the plug vigorously, ignoring his younger brother's condition, trying to control his disobedient fingers to untie the rope, and wound a few times around the plug. Circle, tied a knot, and called the people above to pull the younger brother up.

The noise from above became even louder. Aunt Tang was crying bitterly, others shouted to undress, to untie the rope, to a doctor, to hot water... Tangning stayed at the bottom of the well by herself, her head was numb from the cold. There seemed to be a wall in his ears, and it was as unreal as a dream. Fortunately, it didn't take long for someone to realize that there was still someone at the bottom of the well, and let down the rope. Tangning didn't know how he wrapped the rope around himself. As he lay by the muddy well, he felt as if he had been in a nightmare.

Many people surrounded Mrs. Tang and Shuanzi to the east room. The lively wellside instantly became deserted. Tangning felt her arms and wanted to get up, but the wellside was too slippery, so she failed after several attempts.Suddenly a thick voice came from his ear: "Are you okay?" Then he was pulled up with both hands.Tangning felt that he must have lost consciousness. He didn't recognize who the voice was. He looked up and saw that it belonged to Zhang Ergou's family. Looking at Zhang Ergou's worried face, what he thought was, so she It's nice to speak without choking your throat.Immediately, he shook his head, thinking that his brain must have been frozen, but he thought about this at this moment, and he hurriedly said: "I'm fine, why don't you take me to see how my brother is?"

Hearing these words, Zhang Ergou's family was a little hesitant, and his dark face turned pale. Tangning was surprised when he suddenly heard Mrs. Tang crying hysterically. Her hoarse voice was full of pain and despair. Tangning hurriedly dragged herself At this time, his body was weak, and Zhang Ergou's family squeezed into the east room half hugged and half supported.

Many people were already crowded in the room, and the village chief was also there. Zhang Dezhu's family was pulling Mrs. Tang to comfort her, but she was also wiping away her tears. As soon as Tangning entered the room, she saw a small ball on the kang. He was wrapped in the quilt, With an abnormal innocence on his face, he lay there quietly, as if all the cries in the room had nothing to do with him. In fact, he had really gone to another world, and his mother's mournful cries could not pull him away. back.

Tangning looked at it, tears streaming down his face. This is the younger brother he had grown up with since childhood. He hadn't had time to teach him how to write and read, hadn't had time to tell him the principles of life, and hadn't had time to fulfill his expectations of him. At noon, he was still avoiding the spoon his mother handed to his mouth. How could he be quiet forever in just a blink of an eye?

Tangning moved to the edge of the kang step by step. His younger brother was born on this kang back then, in a small group. He never thought that four years later, he would leave this world on this same kang, still in a small group.

Suddenly, he was pushed away by Mrs. Tang, she looked at him resentfully, and screamed frantically: "It's all you! It's all you! It's you who killed my child! I want you to pay with your life!" Everyone in the room Everyone was stunned by her words, including Tang Carpenter and Tang Mu who just walked in the door!

Tangning's tears stopped falling, and she looked at Mrs. Tang with a hideous face in disbelief. Is she crazy?Mrs. Tang pointed at him:

"It must be you, you pushed my brother into the well! It must be you!"

Then she raised her finger and pointed to Zhang Ergou's house: "And you! If you hadn't pulled me into the house, my child wouldn't have fallen into the well! You all deserve to die!"

Zhang Ergou's lips trembled, and he backed away repeatedly after being pointed at, his body trembling like chaff.Mrs. Tang didn't give up, she rushed to Zhang Ergou's house, and wanted to fight her desperately if she caught her.Only then did the people in the room come to their senses, one after another stepped forward to pull the two of them, and the scene became chaotic for a while.

"Enough!" Carpenter Tang's eyes were red, and he rushed to the edge of the kang, trembling, and touched Shuanzi's cold skin. He couldn't take it anymore, hugged Shuanzi and cried bitterly.Tang Mu couldn't bear it anymore, and began to cry bitterly, Mrs. Tang also rushed back to the bed, crying loudly, shouting incessantly: "My son, my son!" Sour, several daughters-in-law also bowed their heads and wiped their tears, comparing their hearts, which family would not be sad when their child died.

The village head is the calmest one in the house. After all, he has experienced many things at an old age. He sat silently on the chair, frowning and smoking. Looking at the darkening sky outside through the window, he sighed deeply, looked around, frowned and asked, "Where are Gouzi and Niuniu?"

Tang Mu rubbed his tears, choked up and said: "The dog went hunting in the mountains, and no one else can find it. It must be on the way back. It will be dark to get home. Niuniu should go out to play."

The village chief took a puff of his cigarette, and thought that this girl is really big and skinny, climbing trees, fishing, fighting cocks and chasing dogs, she is a bit better than boys, and she doesn't look good when she stays away from home all day.

Just thinking about it, Niu Niu walked in.She had just taken a nap on a tree, and saw that there were no people in several houses in the village, so she stole a few eggs and baked them. Seeing that it was getting late, she leisurely wandered home, but she was told that her brother was on the way. He died, so he hurried back.

Niuniu entered the door, regardless of 21, she threw herself down to her younger brother and started crying.Auntie Tang cried all afternoon, she was very weak, she just sobbed softly, and Niuniu's heart ached when she howled, and she slapped Niuniu involuntarily, "Why howl, I let you stay at home and watch my brother , you don’t listen, you hang around outside all day, shaking your soul? If you are honest at home, can your brother die? You've been cured!" He continued to cry as he spoke, as if he was crying forever.

Seeing this posture, Zhang Ergou's family moved back a few steps. She is tall and tall, and it is inevitable that she bumped into others in this small house. A new daughter-in-law muttered angrily: "What are you doing?" The dog's family was embarrassed and whispered: "Excuse me, I'll go home and have a look." In fact, she wanted to leave a long time ago, because she was afraid of being entangled by Mrs. Tang again, but she didn't realize that her whisper was a big deal to others. Loudly, Mrs. Tang really heard her voice, and immediately raised her head and screamed: "Where do you want to go, you want to escape after killing my baby!"

The people in the room were startled by her voice, and recalled what Mrs. Tang said just now. They thought that Mrs. Tang had lost her son and said that because she was fascinated, but now seeing Zhang Ergou's family's guilty conscience It seemed that there was such a thing, all eyes in the room turned to her and Tangning.Even Carpenter Tang looked at Tangning suspiciously. When Tangning received this gaze, her heart ached and her heart ached.

At this time, Tang Mu's firm voice sounded: "I don't know about others, but the third brother is absolutely impossible!"
