Snow falls silently

It was just after noon, and the sun was shining brightly. I walked limping under the sun by myself. When I arrived at the door of Fang's house and looked inside, "Sister, the watermelon is already sold."

Fang's mother saw Fang Yongzhao's second uncle standing at the door, so she hurriedly greeted, "Hey, it's all sold, come in and rest for a while, it's so sunny."

"No, I have to go back." The man with a straw hat outside the door wiped his sweat with a towel around his neck, "It's good to sell, don't worry."

"That's right, it's tiring for him to be guarded by Yong Zhao every night."

"I went to the melon field last night to have a look before I went back. I was about to go back and saw the second lunatic sitting by the field. Do you have any melons?"

Mother Fang was taken aback, "Not bad, but the leaves of the melon were cut. Hey, let me tell you, ordinary people move watermelons whenever they want, and he is the only one who can move the leaves. Speaking of which, he is quite pitiful." Yes, I don't care if I eat a few watermelons."

An Yuewei was dazed and heard the chirping of cicadas coming from outside the window, the loud and small cicadas disturbed the indistinct dream.After a while, he suddenly heard the voices of people in the yard drinking again, he moved his body, and his body seemed to be much lighter.Looking up the window is bright, and the branches are full of summer's unique luxuriance.

When he got up, he found that Fang Yongzhao was not there, so he walked into the yard.

"Yuewei woke up." Fang's mother hurried over and touched his forehead, feeling a little relieved, "The temperature has dropped."

"Auntie, I'm fine." An Yuewei's eyes were a little dull, and his lips were dry and peeling.

"It's okay, the high fever in the morning made his face flushed red, and he was unconscious." Then he stroked his sweaty hair, "Your cousin didn't listen to me, but took you to the melon field. I guess I caught a cold in the middle of the night."

"I wanted to go, Auntie, don't blame him."

"Hehe, I knew you would say that, let's have some food first."

An Yuewei shook his head, "I'll eat it at night, I can't eat it now."

"All right, you sit down. I haven't finished my work there. Tell me if there is anything you want to eat. Your cousin will ask him to buy it when he comes back."

"it is good."

Mother Fang turned around, walked a few steps, and suddenly yelled at the well, "Go! Where did the wild cat come from?"

"Meow~" A group of pale yellow things dangled by the mouth of the well, being driven back a few steps, and then came forward again.

An Yuewei approached and saw clearly the thin remaining skeleton of the cat, which was attached to the bones with a layer of skin. The ribs on the body could be counted one by one, and the fluff had lost its luster. Only the head was barely there. can see.

The cat stared at the contents of the small basin and stretched out its paws to plan.It must have smelled the fishy smell.

"I don't know where the cats come from, they are all so thin." Mother Fang looked at the cat while she was busy.

"Auntie, is there any leftovers in the morning?"

"Yes, I left a lot for you, what do you feed the cat?"

"Well, let me see if it eats." An Yuewei touched the bony back, the yellow cat looked up at him, and then scratched the small pot.

An Yuewei found a broken plate, put the rice and vegetables in it, and placed it in front of the cat. The cat sniffed it, then turned its head and continued pounding the small pot.

"I haven't eaten yet, no wonder I'm so hungry." He took the plate away and put it at the door for the chicken to eat.Then he went back to the well, picked up the mussel shells in the basin, searched for a while before finding the cracks, and then broke off to reveal the tender and smooth meat inside.

"Eat or not?"

The yellow cat sniffed it closer, and actually ate it. An Yuewei broke off the remaining one and gave it to eat.After it finished eating, I patted its head.The cat stretched out its paw and scratched his palm lightly, then walked away.

An Yuewei moved a low stool and sat under the tree in the yard. The breeze stroked his sweaty hair, and he was exhausted. There seemed to be a warm air around his body that was slowly transpiring. The cat came back after a while. It came, spun a few times in the yard and disappeared.

At this time, there was a man in black standing motionless outside the door. The clothes wrapped around his thin body did not match him.He stared at the food on the broken plate by the door.An Yue only saw that it was the second lunatic he met before, his heart sank, he turned and ran to the kitchen, and walked over with the rest of the food.

The man in black had already walked to the plate, took out a plastic bag from his pocket, and put

Meals from broken dishes were poured into plastic bags.

An Yuewei saw his hands, which were very black and rough, with many thin scratches on them, but they were very long and thin. He squatted next to the man in black, "All these are for you."

The man in black raised his head, and this time An Yuewei saw his face. There were many wrinkles on his face, he was already a little old, and he could vaguely distinguish the clear and handsome outline of his youth.He stared at An Yuewei, then lowered his head and pulled the bag open.

An Yuewei put all the leftovers and leftovers in, and the man in black tied the plastic bag into a knot, stuffed it into the pocket of his black coat, stood up and left. "XXX, we don't have to go hungry for a few days."

He watched the back of the man leaving, only heard his aunt's sigh.

As soon as Fang Yongzhao brought his younger brother into the courtyard, he saw his cousin sitting peacefully, and felt relieved instantly.I walked over and looked at him, my eyes were sleepy, my eyes were lifeless, but my body temperature had already dropped. "Well, the fever is gone, and I will go to get an injection at night, and I think it will be almost fine."

"Go at night."

"Well, it gets better soon."

"Meow~" Fang Yongzhao turned around and saw the skinny cat spinning around his feet. "Where did it come from?"

"I don't know. Seeing that it's hungry, I gave it the clamshell to eat."

"Have you eaten?" Fang Yong called back to look at the empty small basin by the well. "Eat it and eat it, and I will touch two next time."

"I just fed it, but it won't eat."

"Well, why are you so thin?" Fang Yongzhao reached out and touched the cat. The cat didn't seem to recognize its life, and let him touch it.

"do not know."

"Do you like it? If you like it, we will keep it in the future."

"it is good."

I just heard his mother say, "What are you raising? It's the same as raising a son."

"Hehe, you can still catch mice after raising it." The cat made a circle and was about to walk away when Fang Yongzhao hooked the cat's flexible tail and dragged it back.

"Well, let's keep it if you can. I put rat poison on it, so don't let him eat dead mice."

"Hey." Fang Yongzhao pulled An Yuewei into the house, "You didn't eat, did you? I bought sweet wine and specially bought hot ones for you. Have some."

During the summer vacation, the two of them went to the river to catch some fish to feed the cat when they were free. They usually bought some cat food and kept them at home. Gradually, the cat regained its vitality, its hair became shiny, and the ribs that were clearly visible were completely restored. nowhere to be seen.You can often see it running around on walls and trees.Occasionally, he jumps over the eaves with a small or big mouse in his mouth.

After dinner, the sky is still dark, the clear blue-purple sky is changing with the aftertaste of the sunset, the hot summer heat is showing signs of subsiding, but the cicadas are still lingering.An Yuewei and his cousin came back with a small bucket.

As soon as the cat saw the two of them, it immediately ran over and circled around the bucket, "Meow~"

"Xiao Huang." An Yuewei touched it, then put down the bucket, fished out a fish and put it on the ground, the fish bounced a few times on the dry ground, and then lay there whistling.

Xiao Huang held the fish with one paw, lowered his head to bite the fish head, and then began to swallow bit by bit.

"Hehe, this cat looks much better now, it was really thin and out of shape before." Fang Yong summoned it to finish eating, and fished another one for it.

"Yeah, Xiao Huang eat more." An Yuewei was going to fish for him again.

"Wait a while, eat too much and get fat and can't run, and the mice can't be caught."

"I only ate two, how can I get fat."

"When it is hungry, go to the mouse to eat, and you won't work if you always feed it, right?"

"That's right." An Yuewei put away the bucket and went into the house.The cat followed behind, was hugged by Fang Yongzhao, and threw it against the low wall, "Catch the mouse for me, the peanuts are all eaten, go quickly."

"Meow!" Xiao Huang yelled, and climbed up the roof along the low wall.

"Yuewei, your mother called just now, come and answer it." Fang's mother shouted from the room.

"Oh, here we come."

An Yuewei put down the barrel and went into the house to answer the phone, "Mom, why are you looking for me?"

"You're playing dizzy."

"..."

"When will you come back? It's almost time for school."

"Oh."

"Oh what, you didn't write a word for your summer homework!"

An Yuewei thought for a while, "Where did you find it?"

"It's in your pillowcase. Fortunately, I changed the quilt cover for you today and found it. Didn't you say that you took it to your aunt's house to write it? Why is it here!" The other end got a little angry.

"I forgot to bring it."

"You didn't bring it on purpose, don't think I don't know."

"I'll be back to write soon."

"Okay, replace your aunt."

"Sister, why did you scold him? I can hear your voice from the sidelines." Mother Fang looked at the two people who got together in the yard.

"Hmph, I didn't write a single word for my summer homework, and I kept it hidden from me."

"Didn't he just say that he went back and wrote it? It's okay. He's smart, and his grades are not good all the time. It's much better than my family's Yongzhao. I haven't seen him write any summer homework since he was a child. Wandering outside."

"Sister, Yongzhao is more sensible than him, and has a good temper. He didn't help you with many things in your family. Don't be too used to Yuewei. He has a very stubborn temper. If he does something wrong, he should say it. You have to tell him."

"Okay, I know."

As the night deepened, after taking a shower, the two climbed up the low wall and sat down in the place they used to sit.The night sky is deep and wide, covered with countless stars, and occasionally a beam of starlight will streak across the sky.

"Brother, I'm going home tomorrow."

"Well, let's start school soon."

"Yes."

"Come, eat some grapes." Fang Yongzhao dug out a bunch of grapes from nowhere.

"Meow~"

Fang Yongzhao glanced at Xiao Huang, "Why are you joining in the fun?"

"Where did you get it? You didn't buy it this afternoon."

"The grandma next door just gave it to me."

"Don't give it to your brother."

"He's writing in his diary again, I left some for him."

An Yuewei looked at him suspiciously, "Aren't you writing a composition?"

"Write a diary, write it every day, I haven't seen him fall down any day, I guess you can find everything you did at our house during the summer vacation in his diary." After speaking, he threw a grape into his mouth.

An Yue was the only one stunned, "Why does he write this every day?"

"do not know."

"Oh."

"It's getting late, go to bed."
