Chapter 2479 Burying Flowers
"You should look carefully for it."
The old lady withdrew her gaze from the plum tree.
"It's bright in the day."
"I'm sure I can find it."
"Ok."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
He walked towards the plum tree.
The two old men were not surprised that the young man had a clear goal.
After all, those young people came to see the plum blossoms last night.
They also stayed near the plum blossoms.
If you're looking for something that's dropped, it must be there.
"You go back and rest."
The old man looked at the old lady.
"Your waist is not in good condition. You will get tired easily if you stand for a long time."
The old lady shook her head.
"fine."
She walked slowly towards the plum tree.
The hunched body slowly straightened up.
The old lady reached out her hand and tremblingly touched a plum blossom.
The originally snow-white plum blossoms have turned completely yellow, and a hint of black has appeared.
Even though the old lady's movements were very gentle -
The old lady opened her eyes wide.
The petals fell rustlingly.
Falling from her eyes.
A gust of wind blew.
The petals were suddenly blown away into the distance.
The old lady reached out her hand subconsciously.
Only the biting cold wind blew against her palm.
The old lady's eyes suddenly turned red.
“No, it’s gone.”
The old lady's hoarse voice trembled a little.
She suddenly took a step forward.
Unexpectedly, he stumbled and fell forward.
The old man followed the petals that were disappearing into the distance.
By the time he realized the old lady's dangerous situation, it was too late for him to rush over and grab her tilted body.
The old man opened his mouth.
"Pap~"
The cane fell to the ground.
Makes a crisp sound.
"Are you okay?"
The old lady looked confused.
It seemed that he had not yet reacted to what had just happened.
Xiao Xiao straightened the old lady's body.
Seeing that the old lady was still a little dazed, he held her arm.
He whispered soothingly, "It's okay."
"Grandma, I'm holding you up."
The light gradually gathered in the old lady's distracted eyes.
She turned her head slowly -
"Old woman."
The old man strode over.
But without the support of crutches, the old man's steps were a little unsteady.
Xiao Xiao reached out and grabbed the old man's arm.
After the old man stopped, he slowly loosened his hand.
The old man grabbed the old lady's hand.
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao removed his hand and stepped back while observing the old man's condition.
"Are you OK?"
The old man's hands were shaking a little.
Feeling the trembling in her hands, the old lady began to realize the fear belatedly.
If the young man hadn't held me up in time, I would have fallen.
She is not in good enough physical condition to withstand a fall.
"Is something wrong?"
Seeing the old lady silent, the old man became nervous.
"fine."
The old lady shook her head hastily.
"thanks to"
She looked up for her 'savior'.
Xiao Xiao walked over.
He handed the cane in his hand to the old man.
"Your cane."
"what."
The old man was stunned for a moment, then reached out and took the cane from the young man.
The familiar touch gave him a sense of security.
"Thank you."
The old man looked at Xiao Xiao.
He is a very careful child.
"You're welcome."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"I want to thank you, too."
The old lady had almost recovered her composure.
"If it weren't for you, I would be in trouble."
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.
"Are you feeling unwell?" "Are your feet hurt?"
Although he supported the old man in time, it cannot be ruled out that the old man fell because he sprained his ankle.
"Yes."
The old man looked down at the old lady's feet.
"Is your foot hurt?"
"No-"
Seeing that the old man still looked unwilling, the old lady moved her feet.
"Look, it's okay."
After a few seconds, the old man breathed a sigh of relief.
He withdrew his gaze from the old lady's feet.
"It's okay."
"Really? How come you almost fell?"
"You are so old, why don't you be more careful?"
The old man "scolded" the old lady.
There was a hint of anger in his words.
The old lady turned her head.
Look in the direction where the petals flew away before.
"The flowers flew away."
The low, hoarse voice was almost silent.
But the old man heard it.
The expression on his face gradually calmed down.
"If it flies away, it flies away"
".It will eventually fly away."
"Grandma."
Xiao Xiao opened and closed his five fingers.
The old lady's eyes widened.
The somewhat cloudy bottom of his eyes clearly reflected the plum blossom in the other person's palm? !
It was the plum blossom that she had just touched and that flew away from her fingers.
this.
The old lady looked at the young man in front of her with some disbelief.
How could the flowers that were clearly blown away by the wind appear in this young man's hands?
“I picked it up from there.”
Xiao Xiao raised his eyes and looked towards the wall.
Picked up?
there?
The old lady blinked.
Oh~.
It turned out to be the case.
The wind just now really died down very quickly.
Then, it is very likely that the petals fell near the wall.
Thinking of this, the old lady's doubts and surprise faded a lot.
She stretched out her hand.
I want to touch the flower in the young man’s palm.
No.
This probably can't be called a flower.
Just a few petals.
How can it be called a flower?
Even if the young man picked up these petals, the flower was no longer there.
The old lady stroked the petals with her fingers.
It has a soft texture.
"young people."
She looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "Thank you."
"saved me"
“And saved this flower.”
The old woman stared down at the broken petals for a moment.
Then he slowly squatted down, holding onto the tree trunk beside him.
"Hey?"
The old man subconsciously grabbed the old lady's arm.
Then he seemed to remember something and squatted down as well.
Xiao Xiao blinked.
Although I don't know why.
He also squatted down with the two old men.
My eyes were always on the situation of the two old people.
If they accidentally fall down, it will cause great harm to the two elderly people.
At least, the pain is really painful.
The old lady clasped one hand loosely to protect the petals in her palm, and with her other hand dug into the soil beside the plum tree.
The old man also started digging.
After a moment of stunned silence, Xiao Xiao suddenly realized.
Funeral flowers?
Xiao Xiao originally wanted to say that it would be fine if he just came.
But the serious expressions of the two old men made him close his mouth in the end.
He thought that the two old people didn't want to delegate this matter to others.
He squatted quietly aside.
Watching the old man's hands get stained with dirt.
Fortunately, only a small plum blossom was buried.
To be precise, it is the broken petals of plum blossoms.
Therefore, there is no need to dig a very deep hole.
The two old men soon finished digging the hole.
The old lady carefully placed the flower at the bottom of the hole.
When leaving, my fingers stroked the petals with mixed emotions.
ps: Thank you Cangqiong Qianjue for the reward~(*︶*)!
