Chapter 34: Distress in the Forest -
Song Weichen was walking in the mountains and forests, the night dew was heavy, and she started to have a fever again. She felt that her forehead was hot and her wrists were swollen badly. She was really embarrassed. She chuckled to herself.
"Who, who is there?" came a timid voice.
Song Weichen was frightened, "Who!" She became nervous.
A thin little girl walked out from the other end of the road, with the same nervous and frightened look, looking at Song Weichen who was like a female ghost, "You, are you a human, or..."
Song Weichen felt at ease. She looked at herself, her white coat was disheveled, and she really looked like a ghost, then she put her hair back with a wry smile and walked towards the little girl, "Don't be afraid, I am a human being, little sister, why don't you go home in the middle of the night?" "Yeah?"
"I...I want to go find my mother." As she got closer, she saw clearly that she was just a five- or six-year-old child. Her clothes were thin and torn in some places. His eyes seemed to have been crying.
She touched her cheek, maybe because her own body temperature made her palms hot, but the child's face was cool and soft. "Where is your mother? Why don't you go find her alone so late at night?"
The little girl pointed to the heights of the hillside and said, "My mother is buried there. Whenever I miss her, I sneak away at night. Come out and talk to her”
.
Song Weichen's heart clenched.
Due to motherhood, she took the little girl's hand and said, "I miss my mother too, very much. But I don't know where to find her. My sister really envy you. It's not safe in the dark. , can I go with you to find your mother?"
"Okay!" The little girl was very happy.
Song Weichen took the girl's hand and walked up the mountain, "What's your name?"
"My mother calls me Bao'er, and my little mother calls me Gouzizi."
Song Weichen's nose felt sore and she tightened her child's hand, "Bao'er, your mother must love you very much."
.
Close to the top of the mountain, the moonlight was brighter than in the forest. Bao'er pointed to a bare dirt bag with a wooden sign not far away, "Here we are, mother lives there."
Song Weichen looked around, with a wide field of vision. Then he let go of the little girl's hand.
"I'll wait for you here. You go and talk to your mother for a while, and then I'll take you home, okay?"
The little girl nodded and skipped over.
After watching the little girl in the distance for a while, Song Weichen's vision gradually blurred. She felt like there was a fire burning in her chest, and the wind made her shiver. She looked at a tree next to her and leaned on the trunk to support herself.
Song Weichen, even if you are going to die, you have to hold on until you send your child home before dying, do you hear me? She said to herself in her mind.
A thick fog spread over, and the little girl disappeared from sight. "Baoer", she called out, but there was no reply.
She looked at the thick mist and felt something was wrong. She walked over to look for the child with one foot raised and one foot lowered. However, she was exhausted after all. Her vision went dark and she stepped down and rolled down the hillside.
It was still dark and the forest was dead silent.
