The Scenery of the North Chapter 13 Returning Home (New Year's Eve)(2/2)
The child who was originally playing nearby was also attracted by a stranger like Lu An, and followed Lu An's back and looked at him with curiosity.
Finally, Lu An walked deeper and deeper, and there were fewer and fewer children following him, because the houses in this place were old and old, as if they were pushing lightly, they would probably collapse. The children were bound by their elders and never came here to play. They would not come here to play with their companions because they were not the same type of people.
Because my companions here have already gone up the mountain to chop wood, pick tea and herbs at this age, and are worried about supporting the family.
Lu An walked a few steps and looked sad. According to the past, there should be an old man on this stone pier. As long as it doesn't rain, he will sit there from morning to night, squinting his eyes and closing his eyes to rest. Every time he sees it, he will greet him with a smile.
Now the stone pier is covered with moss.
After walking a few steps forward, there was another gloomy feeling. Lu An stood in front of a collapsed house. It should be an old man and a good friend of Lu An when he was a child. At this moment, he had no home.
Continue moving forward, Lu An's depressed mood finally improved a little.
An old man sat in his usual position in the entire broken alley.
Lu An walked up to him, squatted down gently, and glanced at him.
The old man slept peacefully. Lu An reached out and gently grabbed his hand. The old man twitched, then grabbed Lu An's hand and touched it.
The old man opened his pale eyes and screamed at Lu An twice.
Lu An pinched his hand and said yes.
The old man continued to scream a few times, and his expression became excited and relieved.
Lu An knew that the old man recognized him, but at this moment, Lu An's eyes almost burst into tears.
So I sat there with the old man, holding his hands tightly.
After a while, the old man's hand relaxed and he fell asleep quietly again.
Lu An stood up and glanced at the old man twice.
Unexpectedly, in the end, no one recognized him, except this deaf, dumb and blind old man recognized him.
Since Lu An remembered that this deaf, dumb and blind old man lived here, sitting quietly every day. It is said that he was also a veteran, but later he became disabled, deaf and dumb, so he retreated and came to such a place. He stayed for several years and became blind again. Fortunately, the people in this alley are nostalgic. Although they are very poor, they will not let him starve to death.
Unexpectedly, he was the one who survived to the end. The other old people had already left, and only he was still sitting in his own position.
Lu An took a deep breath and calmed down his mood.
It was originally a popular place, but now there is only one person left.
Lu An walked forward slowly and came to a door.
Three years have passed, and I finally come back.
