Chapter 433 The Life of a Blind Man

At this moment, in a dilapidated and low farmer's house in Chengzhong Village, Chengbei District, Yang Yiyao, who was selected by Chen Li as the experimental subject, was sitting on a small bench at the door, quietly basking in the sun, enjoying her rare warm time.

She carefully took off the blindfold on her face, tried hard to open her eyes, and turned her face towards the direction of the sun that her skin felt, as if she wanted to use her non-existent eyeballs to catch a ray of light.

But this was obviously in vain. In fact, the light in her life had disappeared since the fire two years ago.

Both her parents were killed. When the firefighters rescued them, her eyes had been blinded by the strong smoke. At that time, she didn't know what this meant. Blindness and death had not yet formed a complete shape in her heart. the concept of.

She would only hold her mother's body and not let go. When the identification told her that "mother is no longer here", she cried and shouted that mother was still warm.

If he is dead, his body should be cold, right?

This is the superficial knowledge she learned from TV.

——

In this era of information explosion, children her age mature earlier than their peers in the previous decade, but the early maturity is limited.

It took her a month to accept the result that she could no longer see, because the most it would do was walk less and move less, but it took her a full half a year to accept the fact that her parents were gone.

At the very beginning, she would subconsciously call her mother when she heard the alarm clock and shouted "Mom, turn on the lights" over and over again; she would also stumble out the door when she heard the car horn outside the door. She went there several times and fell all over her body with bruises; but more often than not, she vented her violent temper like a child and drove away the caretakers arranged by the community one after another.

It is precisely because of this that her adoption procedures have been delayed.

Who would want to accept a completely naughty kid who smashes things in the house at every turn? That bit of compassion and empathy for the weak will soon be exhausted in the almost endless torture.

In the end, the only person left by her side was her brother, the child who was also underage.

Her brother always comforted her, told her the story of Helen Keller, taught her to recognize the room she lived in from the beginning, taught her to dress herself, bathe herself, and even taught her to use a smart phone in blind mode and "Watch" the cartoons she used to love.

Two full years later, she finally began to become docile, and finally learned to sit quietly and wait when no one was around. For a little girl under 7 years old, even if she is an able-bodied person, this is not possible. It can already be regarded as valuable.

The sun mixed with the hot wind blew across Yang Yiyao's face. She felt something gently brushing across her face, so she curiously grabbed the thing with her hands, and then she discovered that it was just her hair.

She rolled up a strand of hair with her fingers, and then tightened it, feeling the slightly tingling touch coming from her scalp. This kind of touch made her feel a little novel, but after playing with it for a while, she lost it. interest.

She let go of her hair, groped for the wall beside her with her hands, and walked to the left along the base of the wall.

After walking a few steps, you will encounter a bicycle parked there forever. You have to go around it carefully, and the most important thing is not to be hit by the pedals of the bicycle.

After circling the bicycle, you should pay attention to the small pits left by years of pedaling. In the pits, dirty water splashed by neighbors accumulates. If your shoes are soiled, your brother will criticize himself.

After bypassing the puddle, the wall at hand suddenly became empty, and she knew that she had arrived at the home of the old man called "Second Uncle". At the same time, there was also the pungent smell of tobacco that reached her nose. As soon as she smelled this The smell of tobacco reminded her of the feeling of the stubble on the second uncle's face pricking her face.

She didn't like the second uncle pricking herself with stubble, but fortunately he stopped doing this in the past two years. Only occasionally when he brought snacks to her home, he would pinch her face with his rough fingers. Then he said, "The scar on my face is so shallow. It will grow out in two years and she will be a handsome girl again."

What is a scar? What is a handsome girl?

She had no idea about these two words, but the chocolate the second uncle brought back was delicious.

Just when she straightened her arms to adjust her body balance and wanted to walk through the second uncle's door, the second uncle's angry voice suddenly came to her ears:

"Yao Yao, where are you going? Those hands are stretched out like a little zombie!"

When she heard the second uncle's voice, she was stunned, then turned around subconsciously and answered towards the door in her mind:

"Second uncle, I'm going to play on the patio."

"Why are you going to the patio to play? There is a street stall over there, playing gongs and drums. They will be kidnapped by you later. Come here! Come to the second uncle, and the second uncle will get you chocolates to eat!"

Hearing the second uncle's words, Yaoyao hesitated for a moment, and finally turned around gropingly.

Seeing her actions, the second uncle said with satisfaction:

"Hey, that's right. Come on, come over here. Can you hear my voice? Do you know where I am? Yes, yes, yes, come on, keep walking!"

Yaoyao listened carefully to the other person's voice and moved over carefully step by step. When her hand touched the stubble on the other person's face, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Second uncle, beard!"

"Hahahahaha, it's the beard. Yaoyao is getting smarter and smarter. Come on, sit down and I'll get you some chocolate."

As he spoke, the second uncle picked her up and placed her on a chair that was still high enough for her, and then stood up and left.

Listening to the other party's voice gradually going away, Yaoyao sniffed her nose. She smelled a complex aroma mixed with the aroma of meat and smoke. This was the first time this aroma appeared in her memory.

"Second uncle, what are you cooking?"

The second uncle in the room replied loudly:

"It's not cooking, it's bacon! I'll cut a piece for you later, and when your brother comes back, let him cook it for you, you know?"

"My brother won't let me ask for your things."

Hearing this, the second uncle, who had already approached with chocolates, burst into laughter.

"Don't listen to your brother's nonsense. If you don't want anything from your second uncle, who else can you want? Come, eat some chocolate, and I'll cut the bacon for you."

Yaoyao nodded, carefully wiped the dust off her hands, and fumbled to unwrap the chocolate. But just as she was about to put the chocolate into her mouth, she accidentally peeled off the wrapper and the chocolate fell to the ground.

The intermittent sound of chopping vegetables could be heard not far away. She sat there for a moment, then raised her legs to cross the chair. Then she bent down with great effort and groped the ground in front of her with her hands to make sure there was nothing on the ground. After dropping the chocolate, he carefully climbed down from the chair, then squatted down to fumble for the piece of chocolate that had fallen to who knows where.

This was a difficult job for her. She started from standing and then gradually knelt down, and finally crawled under the chair. But fortunately, every house is now equipped with ceramic tiles. When she finally finds the piece of chocolate , it’s not that dirty on top.

——

From a tactile perspective, it's not too dirty.

She rubbed the chocolate on her clothes a few times and put it into her pocket, then climbed onto the chair gropingly. When the second uncle cut the bacon and turned around, he happened to see her taking out the chocolate from her pocket.

"Ouch! Don't eat it! Your pocket is full of ashes! What happened? Did it fall on the ground?"

"Um!"

Yaoyao nodded lightly, and the other party took the chocolate in her hand, took out a tissue and wiped it clean, then put it back into her hand.

"Come on, eat. If you eat it cleanly, you won't get sick. We weren't that particular when we were kids. I heard your brother say, are you going to see a doctor tomorrow night?"

"Going to see a doctor."

"Where are you going? What doctor are you seeing?"

"It's for eye treatment. Go to the university to see it!"

"Don't stop talking. It hurts your eyes. It's useless for me to ask you. I'll ask your brother when he comes back. Don't let others defraud you of your subsidy. Okay, just sit down and eat. Well, the second uncle is going to be busy."

"After you finish eating, go home and watch TV. Stop running around. Is your phone in your pocket?"

Yaoyao took out her mobile phone from her pocket and shook it, and then the second uncle nodded with confidence.

"I've put the bacon aside for you. Come on, grab it and see if it can be carried. Is it okay? It's not heavy!"

"Our Yaoyao is really capable, even better than my little granddaughter."

As the second uncle praised her, Yaoyao finished the chocolate in her hand, then said goodbye to the second uncle, and walked out of the room cautiously.

What she didn't know was that the second uncle who said he was going to do some work was actually following her until he saw her walk to the small bench in front of his house and sit down, then he shook his head and turned to leave.

Yaoyao raised her face. She could feel that the angle of the sun had changed slightly. The alarm clock on her phone reminded her that there were still 3 hours left before her brother came home. In the next three hours, she kept doing that. Sitting on the bench, I would only stand up and take a few steps back towards the door of my house when I occasionally heard the approaching whistle.

The surrounding light gradually dimmed, but to her, what actually changed was just the surrounding temperature.

It wasn't until the lights started to turn on and the last alarm clock of the day rang that she heard her brother Yang Yijin's voice coming from a distance.

"elder brother!"

She stood up excitedly, holding the bacon in one hand and groping the wall with the other as she stumbled forward. The figure opposite her also ran two steps quickly and stepped forward to grab her hand.

"Are you good at home today? Did you go to class?"

"Going! I'm done studying!"

"What did you learn today?"

"I learned the multiplication tables today, but I couldn't memorize them."

"It doesn't matter, come on, Yaoyao, call uncle."

As he spoke, he handed the hand holding the other person's hand to the hand of Ye Zhou who came with him.

"This is Uncle Ye, this is Uncle Chen. Uncle Ye will take you to treat your eyes tomorrow, please say thank you."

Yaoyao's face showed a rare look of joy. She shook Ye Zhou's hand like a little adult, and then said seriously:

"Thank you uncle!"
