I saw that figure getting closer and clearer.

It seems to be a thin and hunched old woman with gray hair, scattered hair, worn clothes, patches layered, and unable to see what she originally looked like.

The crutch she used as an ordinary wooden stick was originally an ordinary wooden stick. The bottom of the stick was stained with half-dry soil. The stick body was very rough, and only the end of the handshake was smoothly ground by the rough hands and sweat.

Her hands, which were shaking with a stick, were trembling. Every time she took a step, her legs and feet were trembling, as if she could no longer support her body. Her knees were always bent, as if she had been walking too long for too long and could no longer stretch.

As she walked, she suddenly looked up and saw Lin Suqing. She was stunned at first, as if she was shocked. Perhaps the hair messed up in front of her face made her unable to see clearly. She quickly raised her hand and lifted the hair in front of her face. When she saw it, she was even more shocked. Then she reached out to Lin Suqing, stretched it away, and opened her mouth as if she was about to say something, but she didn't say a word for a long time. Maybe it was because her throat was so dry and thirsty that she couldn't make a sound.

Lin Suqing saw that the old woman wanted to greet him, so he quickly ran up, but stopped as he ran closer.

He was not sure, stared at him with wide eyes and his throat rolled, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

The two stood face to face. The woman was covered in a state of kinship. Before she could speak, tears flowed down first. Tears passed by, washing away the dust on her face, leaving deep traces. She had not washed her hair for at least many months and had her hair tied up.

Lin Suqing couldn't say a word, her eyes were red, her nose was red, her tears were hot, and her tears flowed. But she forced herself not to cry, and she could not cry, so that the veins on her temples were bulging, and the corners of her lips kept twitching, and she could tremble all over. She couldn't help but step forward, stepped back and softened, and knelt in front of the old woman.

The old woman wanted to help him tremblely, but she couldn't help him, so she gave up.

So they looked at each other with tears in their faces.

The old woman's weathered face was covered with wrinkles, and her neck was loosely hung with wrinkles like gullies. Her skin was rough and yellow, and she had many cracks. There were a few brown spots on her cheekbones that were exposed by the sun. The spots spread along her cheeks, and even to her neck, to the back of her hands...

Her eye sockets were deeply sunken, and the large and swollen eye bags dropped her eyelids down, causing the eye sockets to become narrow and small triangles, and their eyes were turbid, which could reflect Lin Suqing's face.

She trembled and stretched out her hand, trying to touch Lin Suqing's head, but when she was about to touch it, she stopped, slowly and reluctantly... she retracted her fingers slightly, afraid that her hands would dirty his hair.

Lin Suqing grabbed her retracted hand, pulled it gently, and covered it on his face. His hands were very cold, his palms were rough, and the new and old cocoons were grinding his face, real and complete.

She then shed tears silently and looked at Lin Suqing silently. The tears never stopped, but her turbid eyes were filled with smiles. At this moment, she was very happy, happy and satisfied.

"Mom..." Lin Suqing cried out in a lost voice, his voice always pulling in his throat, and he became hoarse as soon as he opened his mouth.

The old woman smiled and hugged his cheek with tears in her eyes, and said kindly: "I used to call me Mom, but I suddenly changed my words... But it's also very good. I'm good at calling it, and my mother is happy to hear it."

Lin Suqing didn't know how to respond. She suddenly forgot all the grievances she had suffered. She suddenly couldn't remember everything she wanted to say. Looking at the person in front of her, she felt it was difficult to understand and unimaginable. Why did she suddenly grow old so much? He felt wronged for her haggard and vicissitudes of life. She was so good, so gentle, so kind...

Why can't time treat her well, why should she age so quickly, why... why... why should she lose weight, why should she make her back hunched, why should she make her hair gray... why...

"Son, get up quickly, the ground is very damp, don't hurt your knees." The old woman gently threw away the crutch and reached out to help him, but she was not standing firm and almost fell down. Lin Suqing quickly got up to support her.

He bent his knees and supported him. When the old woman stood firm, he stood up carefully and paid attention to the old woman's knees. He wanted to slowly support her and stand her up completely, but found that her knees could no longer stand up... His heart suddenly twitched.

I reached out and wiped the tears on her face with my sleeves. Seeing that her cloth and trousers were not what she used to wear in the world, I should have been here for a long time.

"Mom." Somehow, he could no longer call out the title of the world over there and could no longer change it. He held the old woman and looked around. There was no suitable place to sit down, so he helped her to the other side of the boat, walking carefully and slowly.

"How did you come?" He talked to her while walking.

"Oh..." the old woman sighed, "You suddenly disappeared. My mother called the police. I searched for several years but couldn't find her. My mother went everywhere to burn incense and worship Buddha. She also entered Taoist temples and temples. I beg the Bodhisattvas and gods to bless you with peace and good fortune..."

As she said that, her tears gushed down again. She raised her chapped hands, wiped away her tears, and said with some sobs: "Later, there was a Taoist temple. When my mother went to bow, the Taoist priest asked her if her family had disappeared? He said he was still alive. He knew where he was, but he didn't know the specific location."

The old woman's tears flowed and then, and she wiped it with her palms and backs, saying, "I'm here to find you."

Lin Suqing turned around and hugged the old woman in her arms. She couldn't help but she dripped down when she was not seen.

"Mom, stop talking, your son can't listen to the suffering you suffered." Just thinking about it makes me feel so sad that I feel like I've been cut into pieces by thousands of knives.

"Just be safe, just be safe..." The old woman patted him gently, smiling with tears on her face, "When you see you are safe, you can feel at ease even if you die... Just be safe..."

"Son, everything is fine." Lin Suqing said.

Those bitterness that I once wanted to vomit, complaints that I wanted to express, grievances that I wanted to express, and words that I wanted to express... are gone, gone. Everything is fine, you don't have to worry.

He knew in his heart that this might be just an illusion, and what he held in his arms might be just an illusion. But all of this is so realistic and so friendly...

If this is the case... it is enough to assume that it is true, let him deceive himself, let him get caught in it, and let him be greedy for this little beauty first.

Only he himself knows how long he has been waiting for this moment, how hard it is, and how bitter it is. So that's it.

...

He helped the old woman to the place of the old ship, he jumped onto the boat, picked up a small stool full of dust, washed it clean by the lake, wiped the water marks with his robe, and then moved it over and helped the old woman sit down, while he sat on the edge of the old woman, leaning against her legs, like he did when he was a child.

They looked at the lake and into the distance, Lin Suqing closed his eyes and wanted to enjoy it slowly. Even if everything was fake, he wanted to cherish this moment and remember this feeling.

"Son." The old woman's throat was dry and lost when she spoke.

"Mom, please wait first, my son will give you some water."

Lin Suqing hurriedly got up and quickly ran to the side to pick some wide fresh green leaves. He ran back and rolled up the green leaves and went to the lake to clean the water. When he fetched the water, he swept it, swept it open and only the bottom. Although the lake water was already very clear, it felt cleaner.
