In the following days, I lived at Liu Saner's house to recuperate.

During the chat with him, I also learned that this place is called Jixiang Village, a small fishing village. It is just a dozen miles west of Yangzhou City. Although it is located in a remote place and lives in poverty, the people are very simple and simple. People like Liu Saner can be seen everywhere. Even if you are a stranger like me, you have no doubts and resistance, but you have accepted me enthusiastically.

Liu San'er told me that his parents had been fishing in this fishing village for most of their lives, but despite such hard work and heavy taxes, they were still breathless. In order to support their family, Liu San'er left the place of birth and raising and went alone to Yangzhou. Before meeting me, he had been working in that inn to earn money for his family. Not long after I left the inn, his parents fell seriously ill. After receiving the news, he quit the inn work and rushed home to take care of his parents. He was lucky to escape the plague that year. But unfortunately, his father left after all, so he did not go back to the inn, stayed in the fishing village to fish, and depended on his mother who was lingering in bed.

In this way, I also know why he is so good at taking care of people.

"The fish were easy to catch, but in the past two years, there have been people in Rencheng, and we can't catch any big fish here, so I and a few brothers in the village are moving up," he said, tidying up the fishing nets dried on the wooden racks in the yard, and turned around and smiled, "It just happened to save you."

I sat under the eaves, looked at him, and smiled.

Sometimes, in addition to fate, there may be some coincidences arranged by God between people.

"I didn't expect that when I was blind, I would have troubled you so much. Now I still have to-"

"Oh," he waved his hand quickly and interrupted me: "Don't say that. The most precious thing about a person is this life. No one can save him if he has to die."

Looking at his clear eyes, so black and white, I suddenly couldn't speak.

I lived like an ant by the rich man. The moment I jumped off the boat, whether it was liberated or despair, I was really not taking this life seriously.

But this poor man told me that the most precious thing for a person is this life.

Yes, even ants survive, let alone me?

Why did I fall into such a devil at that time?

Thinking of this, the faint sourness in his heart finally turned into a smile on the corner of his mouth and said to Liu Saner: "Thank you."

"ah?"

"You're saying it makes sense."

He scratched the back of his head, making his head a little messy, and smiled embarrassedly at me.

When I looked up, the setting sun shone into this small courtyard, casting the shadow of the bamboo fence on the ground, and it was stretched long. Several families in the village had already raised smoke from cooking. Some villagers came back from fishing and walked by the door with a few big fish behind them. Then they waved their hands and greeted: "San'er, where are you resting today?"

Liu Saner smiled and said, "Uncle Qing, you have gained a lot."

"It's still done. I'll go back first."

"Why."

Listening to this simple dialogue, people feel a different sense of intimacy. I thought to myself that Liu Saner had already walked up to me and stretched out her hand: "Come on, let's go for a while and then have a meal."

"Um."

He carefully helped me stand up and walked slowly around the small yard.

This is the fifth lap today.

As the doctor said before, I was injured by the waist and it was not so easy to heal. In the days when I woke up, my waist was completely unable to exert force. Without Liu Saner's help, I would have to lie there like a dead person. Fortunately, he helped me, moving my hands and feet every day, and my body could finally move slowly after a few days.

After that, he often helped me walk around the small yard and moved, but due to his body, I almost had to hang my whole body on his arm before I could barely move a few steps. Often, I couldn't walk for a while and was sweating profusely, so he helped me sit under the eaves and rest. The two of them had free time to chat, and half a day passed.

This time, it's much better than before.

I felt that although I was a little tired, my strong muscled arm could still walk quite freely while holding me.

After walking this round, a layer of fine sweat appeared on my forehead. I was rubbing it with my sleeves. Suddenly, I felt the hand that was holding me all the time to let go. When I turned around, I saw Liu Saner standing beside me and said with a smile: "You try another walk."

“…?”

"I think you're almost recovering. I won't help you this time, so you can take a look."

The orange light of the setting sun shone on his dark face, showing a warm feeling. He was already a little tired, but hearing what he said made me rush.

I want to get better, too!

So he nodded: "Yes."

After saying that, he turned to look at the small courtyard full of warm sunsets, gritted his teeth, and took the first step.

Without the support of that hand, my knees and ankles immediately felt a softness, and cold sweat was pouring down. I had just taken the first step and felt that I had exhausted all my strength.

Sure enough, it was still too forced.

I used to hold his arm, but I felt it was very difficult. Now I have to walk by myself. I am just afraid-

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel timid. I was about to tell him that I wouldn't practice anymore. As soon as I turned around, I saw a dark arm standing next to me, not far or near, but I could grab it as soon as I reached out.

I was stunned, raised my head and saw a smile on my dark face: "Don't worry, you can walk slowly, I'm here. If you can't walk, then support me."

“…”

I was silent for a moment, didn't say anything, just turned around.

Griefly, and once again took a step.

.

Early the next morning, Liu Saner walked out of the small thatched hut that he had temporarily built in the corner of the yard. He saw me at a glance and was stunned for a moment: "Miss Qingying?"

I held the wall and gasped, and looked at him with a smile: "Good morning."

"You got up so early."

"I want to practice more."

Yesterday, with his help, I walked around the yard by myself. If I hadn't had my hands and feet incompetent, I would have jumped up happily. I was so excited that I could not sleep that night, so early in the morning, I got up again to practice walking.

It’s considered “practice makes perfect”, and I’m walking more and more smoothly.

He smiled and reminded me twice, then plunged into the kitchen. I walked around the yard for a few more times. Although I was sweating profusely, when I thought that I finally didn't have to lie down like a dead person, I felt extremely happy. After a few steps, I couldn't hold on anymore and rushed to the door.

At this moment, the door was pushed open.

A pretty face came into view.

As soon as she saw me, she was stunned for a moment and immediately smiled faintly: "Miss Qingying, you can leave now."

"Well. Miss Yunxiang, I'm going to trouble you again."

I wiped my sweat and said with a smile.

The beautiful and gentle woman in front of me is Yunxiang, who is also a villager in Jixiang Village, lives near Liu Saner's house. Since I came to Liu'er's house, Liu Saner has helped me with all the big and small things, but after all, there are differences between men and women, so there are always some things that he can't do, such as helping me clean my body and bathe, so he asked this Yunxiang girl to help.

She has a gentle personality. Although she is not very enthusiastic to me, she still comes very diligently and does things carefully. I have a good impression of her.

Scrub clean in the small stone house, and the people became much more refreshed. I smiled and thanked me while picking up my clothes: "Miss Yunxiang, I'm really troubled you this time. I can move myself now, so let me do it myself next."

She glanced at me, smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Putting on her clothes, she and I walked out one after another. We happened to see Liu Saner bringing a large pot of fish soup out of the kitchen. When we saw us, we smiled and said, "Yunxiang, thank you for your hard work. The soup is just over, so you can drink it too."

A faint blush was dyed on Yun Xiang's white face, and she nodded gently: "Yes."

Liu San'er each served a bowl of fish soup and brought a bowl into the inner room to give his mother a drink. Yunxiang and I sat opposite each other at the table.

She and I finally had nothing to say. The atmosphere in the room was a bit dull. I only saw her drinking the milky white soup in the bowl in small sips. Although she didn't laugh or praise, the light of happiness was shining in her eyes.

I smiled faintly.

Some people say that women are born actors and are best at acting, but I think there are some things on women that can't be hidden.

For example, love, and happiness.

For example, pain, and helplessness.

Thinking of this, I lowered my head and took a sip of the fish soup, and then couldn't help laughing.

The fish soup is bland and tasteless, and there is still a little fishy smell. It doesn’t matter if you swallow it in big mouthfuls. If you want to taste it one by one, the taste will not be very good.

But looking at the little woman opposite, she seemed to be savoring the most delicious delicacies in the world.

At this moment, a noisy sound suddenly sounded outside, as if many people gathered together and shouted something. When they listened carefully, there seemed to be someone quarreling. Yunxiang and I both heard it, looked at each other, then put down the bowl and prepared to take a look. Liu Saner happened to walk out of the inner room. When he heard this sound, he walked to the door with us.

From afar, I saw that there seemed to be a lot of people gathering at the entrance of the village, and I don’t know what I was doing.

At this moment, a villager hurried over and shouted at the gate of the yard: "San'er, come here quickly!"

"What's wrong?"

"What happened, the government officials are here."

"Um?"

People from the government?!

My heart sank suddenly.

These days, I lived in the Liu family and recovered with my whole heart. I almost forgot what kind of torture I experienced to get such peace. Could it be that—

He is still looking for me?
