Su Mo asked the woman to tell the story of the painter as a condition, so as to forgive the painter, and the woman readily agreed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I didn't know your names until I told them?" Su Mo asked the woman.

The woman said a little shyly: "This is Xiao Ai, the painter in the mouth of the eldest young master, and my name is Ai Hong, you can call me Xiao Hong." ”

After a brief conversation, Xiaohong began to tell Su Mo the story of Xiao Ai.

When Xiao Ai was ten years old, his mother who raised him died of illness, and Xiao Ai had no relatives from then on, so he lived alone.

Xiao Ai was not the same as other children before, Xiao Ai was born with congenital eye diseases, in Xiao Ai's world, there is only a vague world, Xiao Ai is a born cataract child.

After the death of her mother, Xiao Ai lived alone in her home by the sea, and there were only a dozen scattered households in Xiao Ai's village, so Xiao Ai spent two years in a sullen manner.

In the summer when the child was 12 years old, a girl came to the village who was three years old, and the girl came from a town a hundred miles away, and the girl came to the village to seek summer escape from relatives, because the weather in the interior was generally very hot that year.

The girl's dress is very clean, the people are also very polite, the villagers like the girl very much, the girl will go to the beach every day to play in the water, and because of this, the girl got acquainted with the lonely Xiao Ai.

The first time the two met was on the beach, that afternoon Xiao Ai went to the beach to find food, and the girl went to the beach to blow the sea breeze to cool off.

Because Xiao Ai's eyesight is not good, he didn't see the girl sitting on the beach when he groped for food, and when Xiao Ai was concentrating on finding food, Xiao Ai accidentally bumped into the girl's body.

The girl screamed, Xiao Ai realized that she had hit someone, and after some apologies, the kind girl still forgave Xiao Ai for her recklessness.

At that time, the girl found that Xiao Ai's eyesight was not good, because the girl was kind-hearted, so she helped Xiao Ai pick up food on the beach together, Xiao Ai was very grateful to the girl, and the two had been picking up on the beach until the evening, because of the girl's help, Xiao Ai returned with a full load that day, and the week's rations were enough.

The girl enthusiastically helped Xiao Ai bring food home, and when she arrived at Xiao Ai's house, the girl helped Xiao Ai fill the water tank with water, and then poured all the food she picked up on the beach into the water tank.

When the girl left, she glanced at Xiao Ai's home, and saw that Xiao Ai's house was already covered with dust, and the only clean place was the small bed where Xiao Ai usually lived.

The girl left Xiao Ai's house with pity that day, and Xiao Ai was grateful to the girl from the bottom of her heart.

After a few days, after eating the seafood in the tank, Xiao Ai took the wooden bucket to the beach to pick up food, this time Xiao Ai met the girl again, the two saw each other very happily, they respected each other, Xiao Ai respected the girl's kindness, and the girl respected Xiao Ai's strength.

This time, the girl helped Xiao Ai pick up seafood together, and when she was about to pick up the barrel, the girl suggested that Xiao Ai wait, and the girl wanted to dive into the bottom of the sea to touch some sea cucumbers for Xiao Ai to replenish Xiao Ai's body.

Of course, Xiao Ai is very happy, since he was a child, he heard his mother say that sea cucumber is a big tonic, Xiao Ai because of the lack of nutrition, his mother has always wanted to touch the sea cucumber to make up for Xiao Ai's body, but her mother is not in good health, she can't go to the sea, and she doesn't have that condition to buy it, Xiao Ai has never tasted sea cucumber until now.

Xiao Ai felt that she couldn't let the girl take this risk, because it was too dangerous to dive to the bottom of the sea, although Xiao Ai wanted to taste the sea cucumber that her mother said, but Xiao Ai, who was kind at heart, still refused the girl's kindness.

Xiao Ai's kindness makes the girl have some good feelings for Xiao Ai, in this hot summer, the two often come to the beach to meet, through the beginning of picking up seafood, to the later nothing to say, the relationship between the two is getting closer and closer, but it is only a friend relationship who appreciates each other.

When autumn came, the weather slowly cooled, and the girl returned to the city with her family, and the girl came to Xiao Ai's house to say goodbye when she left, and the girl also brought the sea cucumber that Xiao Ai wanted to try since she was a child.

After the exchange, Xiao Ai knew that the sea cucumber brought by the girl was touched from the bottom of the sea, and the sea water in early autumn was already very cold, Xiao Ai was very moved by the girl while being happy, and Xiao Ai, who had not experienced the world, shed tears for the girl.

Most of the reason why Xiao Ai shed tears is also because the girl is leaving, and the lonely Xiao Ai has no playmates since then, and there is no communication partner, but the girl told Xiao Ai that she may come to the beach next summer to escape the heat, and the girl also left an address for Xiao Ai, telling Xiao Ai that if she didn't come next year, she could write a letter to herself.

Xiao Ai spent the long autumn and winter full of anticipation, and at the beginning of spring of the following year, Xiao Ai waited for the arrival of the girl, but until the dog days were over, the girl did not come to the village.

Xiao Ai is very disappointed, but there are still some expectations for the girl, Xiao Ai will go to the beach to sit every morning, looking forward to one day to meet the girl on the beach, every day Xiao Ai gets up early and returns late, just to wait for the arrival of the girl.

But autumn came, the weather turned cooler again, the girl still didn't come, Xiao Ai was completely dead, he knew that the girl wouldn't come, so Xiao Ai pinned his hopes on the next summer.

Everyone in the village can see that Xiao Ai is depressed, and only Xiao Hong in the same village knows Xiao Ai's thoughts, Xiao Hong and the girl also know each other, because Xiao Hong lives next door to the girl's relatives' house, and when the girl is in the village, except for Xiao Ai, she is playing with Xiao Hong, so Xiao Hong learned the story with Xiao Ai from the girl's mouth.

Xiaohong saw that Xiao Ai was depressed all day, so she went to tell Xiao Ai that she could write a letter to the girl, hearing Xiaohong say this, Xiao Ai was even more lost, because she had an eye disease, how could she write to the girl, and the aggrieved Xiao Ai still cried in front of Xiaohong.

Xiaohong said that she could ghostwrite a letter for Xiao Ai, and Xiao Ai was very happy to hear Xiaohong say this, so Xiao Ai dictated a short page of the letter, and Xiaohong wrote it for Xiao Ai and sent it out.

Because the village by the sea is relatively remote, the messenger who delivers the letter only comes once a month, and it happens that the last time the messenger came was the day before Xiao Ai wrote the letter, and in this way, it would take a month to send the letter.

Xiaohong put the letter at home, and Xiao Ai didn't know that the messenger came once a month, Xiaohong was afraid that Xiao Ai was worried, so she didn't tell Xiao Ai that the letter hadn't been sent yet, Xiaohong thought that it would not be too late to wait for the messenger to come a month later and then hand over the letter to the messenger, but what Xiaohong didn't expect was that when the messenger came, the letter that Xiaohong hid at home was lost.

In a hurry, Xiaohong had to rewrite a letter to the girl under the urging of the messenger, because the messenger was in a hurry to leave, urging Xiaohong to urge very urgently, and Xiaohong forgot to write the address of the letter, so she handed the letter to the messenger, and the messenger did not find that the letter was not written in a hurry.

Xiao Ai waited excitedly for the girl's reply, but Xiao Ai didn't know that her letter had not been sent at all.
