The child shook his head and said: "My parents are working outside, and there are only two people at home, my grandma and me. Normally grandma would go home long ago, but she hasn't come back today!"
After eating, the child became obviously friendly with Wang Yue'er.
Wang Yue'er looked at the time. It was already so late. What kind of firewood would it take a day to chop?
Did something happen to the child's grandmother? Thinking of this, Wang Yue'er's scalp felt numb.
"Child, you lie down on aunt's bed to sleep first. Tell aunt which mountain your grandma went to chop wood, and aunt will help you find her!" Wang Yue'er said to the child.
"Really? Auntie is going to help me find grandma? But the mountain road is very dark, aren't you afraid?" If he hadn't been afraid of the dark, he would have run into the mountain himself and wouldn't have hid in the vegetable garden and cried.
"I'm afraid, but it's more important to find grandma! Don't worry, I will help you find grandma, so just lie down and sleep!"
The child took off his shoes, lay on Wang Yue'er's bed, and then told Wang Yue'er which mountain his grandma usually worked in.
Wang Yuer took a flashlight and closed the dormitory door.
I originally wanted to wake up Siran who was living in the wooden house and ask Siran to go with him, but thinking that it was already so late, I felt a little embarrassed to disturb him.
Although Wang Yue'er was scared, but knowing that her life was at stake, she finally bit the bullet and climbed up the mountain the child mentioned with a flashlight alone.
Even with a flashlight, the surroundings were still dark, and the sounds of various animals were terrifying in the dark.
Wang Yue'er walked on the small artificial stone steps, climbing up the mountain step by step, shouting as she walked: "Grandma Little Shitou! Where are you, Grandma Little Shitou?"
I just asked the kid, his nickname is Little Stone.
As I climbed all the way up, I didn't hear anyone's response.
In the grass, from time to time, birds were frightened by Wang Yue'er and fled out of the jungle, which frightened Wang Yue'er.
She was so scared that she was trembling, but she didn't know where the courage came from, and she still insisted on walking into the mountains.
Thinking that there was a child still waiting for his grandma to come home, she couldn't care about anything else.
I don’t know how long I walked and how high the mountain I climbed.
"Grandma Little Stone, are you here?" She shouted until her throat became hoarse, and finally she heard a faint voice in the deep mountains.
"Here, here!"
Wang Yuer was excited for a while.
After breaking open the bushes that were thicker than the head, I finally saw the old man lying on the ground halfway up the mountain.
"Are you Grandma Xiao Shitou?" Wang Yue'er asked, taking off the kettle she had brought up the mountain, and then fed the old man some water.
After the old man drank most of the pot of water, he said: "Yes, I am. Girl, did Xiao Shitou ask you to come to me? Are you the only one here?"
Wang Yue'er nodded, her head covered with big beads of sweat.
"Grandma, why are you lying here? What happened?"
"I sprained my foot and slipped down the mountain! Now I am tired, hungry and sleepy, and my foot hurts so much that I can't stand up!" the old man said with difficulty.
She let out a hissing sound, and it looked like she was really in pain.
"Come on, grandma, I'll carry you!" Wang Yuer helped the injured grandma up.
"Girl, can you carry me on your back?" The old woman was a little doubtful when she saw Wang Yuer's frail appearance.
