Chapter 70 The footsteps of the young man

Alan had nothing to do here at the moment, so Wenrou went to see Abe.

Abe's parents have returned to preside over the old woman's funeral.

Abe looked at his parents from a distance without any sign of intimacy. His parents simply ignored his presence.

Villagers came and went, some sending paper money, some sending firewood and wood, and helping with the funeral arrangements.

Abe's parents discussed with the elders in the village to hold a funeral tomorrow and bury the old woman as soon as possible.

The elders were obviously unhappy and said that after the old man passed away, he would have to leave it at home for at least three days for the relatives of the younger generation to pay their respects and say goodbye.

Although Abe's parents were not happy, they could only do as they were told. If they did not listen to the village elders, the whole village would not come to help them carry the coffin.

Abe squatted beside his grandmother's body and said nothing.

Neighbors said that he had not spoken a word, eaten or drank from the morning when Grandpa Wen said that his grandma was dead and cried loudly until now at night.

Wenrou walked over, put her arm around his shoulders and said, "Grandma just went to another world. She hopes you can live a good life in this world."

If someone else said this, it would be comforting. Wenrou said that it was true, because she was sending a message to someone who had gone to another world.

Abe, who had not moved all day, raised his head and looked at Wenrou, his eyes as hot and pure as the blazing sun.

Wenrou nodded: "Really."

Abe nodded, as if he believed what Wenrou said, and seemed to express that he would live a good life.

Wenrou took out a bottle of soda water from her backpack and handed it to Abe: "Drink water."

Abe took it and unscrewed the lid.

A red stick appeared out of nowhere and stared eagerly at the soda.

Abe first gave Red Stick half a bottle and drank half the bottle himself.

The red stick wrapped happily around his arm.

An elder in the family came over and reprimanded: "Abe, your grandma is dead, and you still have a red rope wrapped around your arm. Throw it away."

Abe raised his head and looked at the elder with a pair of innocent and pure eyes.

The elder cursed helplessly: "What a fool!" After that, he left.

Wenrou touched Abe's head and said, "Abe is not a fool, Abe is a good boy."

Abe smiled, as bright as the scorching sun in June.

Wenrou parted the child's long hair and saw his beautiful face.

The forehead is fair, the eyes are black and white, without any impurities.

Wenrou marveled at his pure beauty. Such a beautiful child was abandoned by his parents in a corner at the foot of the mountain, wearing tattered clothes and with messy hair. Now the only grandma who depended on him has died. What will happen to the child tomorrow?

For three days, Wenrou had nothing else to do except take care of Abe, so she followed Abe Wen to check his pulse.

Grandpa Wen is very happy to explain Chinese medicine knowledge to Wenrou, especially the experience and methods accumulated by generations of Chinese medicine practitioners in his family.

Wenrou's points also increased. This knowledge increased points faster than expanding the map.

Early on the third day, Grandma Abe's funeral was held.

In a small village, if someone has trouble, the whole village will be dispatched.

There are only about a hundred people in the whole village, most of whom are old, weak, women and children.Young people have gone to other places to work and settle down.

Grandma Abe lay in a thin coffin and was buried underground on the hillside.

Abe asked Wenrou while pointing at the pit and saying "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".

Wen Judao: "After death, the body will be assimilated with the land, rocks, trees, and birds of this world. The soul will fly to another world."

I don’t know if Abe understood, but he became quiet.The head of the red stick peeked out from his coat, seeming to peek at the world.

After grandma was buried, relatives and friends kowtowed a few times in front of the earthen grave, sprinkled a pot of water on it, and then left one after another.

In the end, only Abe's small figure was left squatting beside the grave.

Wenrou walked over, knelt down with him and said, "Abe, let's go."

Abe shook his head and pointed at the graveyard and himself.

Yes, he has been living with his grandma.

Wen Judao: "Good boy, people will always be separated. No one can be together forever. Life is a constant separation and encounter. You see, you and grandma met, and now they are separated. You and Grandpa Wen have met. , there will be separation. When you meet me, there will also be separation. In the future, you will also meet many people, some who love you like grandma, and some who save you like Grandpa Wen. There are people like me, there will also be people who deceive you, people who hurt you... these many, many people will make up your colorful life."

Abe stared at Wenrou without blinking.

Wenrou was not sure whether Abe could understand, but she was trying her best to enlighten the child.

Abe stared at Wenrou for a long time, and then at the graveyard for a long time. Finally, he stood up, took Wenrou's hand, and strode toward the village.

It was already afternoon when the two returned home.

Abe's house was deserted, no one was there anymore.

Abe's neighbor saw Abe coming out of his yard.

"Abe, your parents have left. The child they gave birth to in the city called and seems to be attending some birthday party." The neighbor said loudly to Abe.

In fact, Abe is not deaf. On the contrary, he has very good hearing.

However, because he can't speak and can only say one word at most, everyone subconsciously thinks that his hearing is also bad.

Abe looked at his neighbor and said nothing.

The neighbor sighed: "How about you come to my house for dinner tonight. Well - what will you do in the future? Can you cook by yourself? Have your parents left you any living expenses?"

Abe still stared at the neighbor. After a while, he shook his head and walked into the yard of his house with a broken door.

Abhay entered the house.

Wenrou stood outside the hospital gate, thinking that Alan would be able to remove Qixian tomorrow morning. She should go back and let Douzi scan Alan's condition. After Alan was treated tomorrow, she would come to see Abe.

Just as Wenrou was about to turn around, Abe had already come out of the house, carrying a second-hand schoolbag on his back. The blue schoolbag had an Ultraman pattern and the corners were torn.

He has never been to school, and his schoolbag should have been used by other children for school.

Wenrou was puzzled: "Abe, where are you going...?"

Abe pointed at Wenrou, then pointed at himself, and made an ahhhh sound from his mouth.

Wen Judao: "You want to come with me?"

Abe nodded.

Wenrou thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible, but I do need a younger brother."

Abe nodded vigorously and patted his chest.

Wenrou made up her mind: "Okay, follow me. Let's go to Alan's house."

Abe showed a bright smile, which was like clouds filling the sky, making the whole sky colorful.

"Water, I want water from the river..." Before entering Alan's house, he heard Alan's howling coming from the house.

Alan's mother was so distressed that she begged: "Master Wen, please let Alan drink some water, the child will die of thirst!"

Grandpa Wen said: "He won't die of thirst, and he can still talk. If you let him drink water, we will fail. Do you want him to grow mushrooms and die?"
