But without waiting for the child to answer, the old man had the answer himself.
"Is the doll looking for its mother?"
…
The child looked at the old man.
He nodded honestly.
"Zou, grandpa, mom, where is mom?"
The child speaks very slowly.
The short sentence was still spoken intermittently.
…
The old man's eyes showed a bit of love.
poor child.
In any case, even if there is no life-threatening accident, it is impossible to escape unscathed from such a serious accident as falling off a cliff.
This child will probably have to live with his injuries for a long time.
…
fair enough.
In fact, the old man felt a little guilty in his heart.
I heard Xiaoyou say that the doll fell off the cliff...
He knew where the accident happened to the doll.
The doll likes to play in the mountains.
Anyone who is familiar with dolls will know this.
Of course he knew it too.
In the past, he had done many things to help the baby hide the truth from the baby's mother and cover for the baby.
In his opinion, it's just a trip to the mountains and it's not a big deal.
That mountain was all too familiar to him, who had lived in the village all his life.
As far as he knew, there had never been ferocious beasts in that mountain.
There are not even any relevant rumors.
It was a very gentle mountain forest.
There are wild flowers and grasses, streams and rivers, hares and squirrels...
certainly.
There are also lush, towering trees.
With many strange stones.
He couldn't understand why Wawa loved that mountain forest.
He also liked to play there when he was a child.
Colorful wildflowers and dancing butterflies in spring, cold streams and sparkling water in summer, thick fallen leaves in autumn that make a crisp crunching sound when stepped on...
In winter, the mountain forest is a great place for snowball fights.
There are natural shelters.
There is also thick snow.
Don't worry about hurting innocent people.
Everyone except yourself is the target of "attack".
…
When the old man saw that the child likes the mountain so much, he was actually a little pleased.
This is not what they used to be.
There are fewer children in the village.
Children have more choices for fun.
Everything in the mountains seems not to be as attractive to children as it was at that time.
besides……
Parents are not that supportive of their children going to play in the mountains.
…
He has always been on the doll's side.
He felt that the baby's mother was a little too worried.
The baby has gone to the mountains to play so many times and has never had an accident.
Besides, it is normal for children to have some bumps and bumps.
How can the children in the village be so delicate?
But now...
He found that he was wrong.
It is normal for children to have some bumps and bruises.
But falling off a cliff is far more than bumping into something.
If the doll hadn't been lucky enough to meet a kind person...
this time……
The doll will stay in that mountain forever.
The doll will never come back...
…
After this time, the old man changed his attitude towards the baby going to play in the mountains.
Baby's mother is right to worry.
It's because he's too generous.
From now on, I still have to watch some dolls...
Try to go to the mountains as little as possible.
Say as much as possible...
Because he flatly refused to let the baby go to the mountains, the old man felt a little reluctant to let go.
Every time the baby comes back from the mountains, she will happily describe to him what she saw and heard in the mountains.
The doll had a lot of fun playing in the mountains...
…
but……
The old man shook his head slightly.
Maybe after this time, the baby won't be able to go to the mountains by himself without being restrained by others.
After all, the experience of falling off a cliff is not something that is easy to laugh off.
Therefore, it is understandable to have a rejection mentality towards the place where the experience took place.
…
He just hopes...
Children should learn the lesson from this incident.
However, don't let this matter leave too big a shadow in your child's mind...
What is past is past after all.
Don't let it trap you.
…
The old man smiled softly.
"Mom goes to work."
"Mom will come over after get off work."
"I feel sorry for the baby and let Grandpa Zou accompany the baby first."
…
