An old lady was sitting in front of her home door, knitting her sweater flexibly with needles and thread.
"Hello grandma!" A young man riding a bicycle rushed by.
"Hey! Riding slowly," the old lady shouted to the boy.
"Oh, this deer is here again!" neighbor Aunt Zhang said to the old lady with a smile.
A Sika deer is lowering her head and eating beside the old lady. The old lady prepared a special rice bowl for it.
After hearing this, the old lady turned around and touched the head of the sika deer and said, "Yes!"
A sika deer was eating obediently beside the old lady. Anyone would be surprised when they saw this scene. Why do people here get so used to it?
Why is this sika deer in the old lady’s house?
The old lady's name is Li Xiu'an. When she was young, she married into this village and gave birth to a son and a daughter with her husband. Her daughter studied in the south in college. After graduation, she stayed in the south to work.
My son stayed in a small local city and often came back to visit his mother before getting married. He came back less often after getting married.
The old lady and her husband spent decades together, but unexpected events occurred. Her wife fell ill a few years ago and passed away soon after, leaving only the old lady living in this small house.
"Dingling" A ringtone rang, and the old lady hurried back to the house.
Since my wife passed away, my son bought himself a smartphone, so it will be more convenient to contact. The old lady picked up the phone and the son's name was displayed on the phone screen.
She doesn't know much about this phone, so she answered in a hurry and pressed it to refuse.
After a while, the ringtone rang again.
"Hey?"
"Mom, you pressed the wrong click again! I took Ruirui and Ruirui's mother to see you, and it will be here soon!" the son said from the opposite side.
"Hey, okay!" The old lady quickly agreed, then got up and cooked the meal that had been prepared on the plate.
Away, a small car is driving on a small path.
"Wow! Dad, the trees here are so tall!" said the little girl looking at the tall birch forest outside the window.
"Yes! Dad will take you to grandma's house later, and the trees on grandma's house are more and higher!"
"Okay, okay!" the little girl clapped her hands happily and said.
After a while, the car came to a small house.
The old lady has brought all the food to the vegetable table. After eating and drinking, the old lady's son explained his purpose.
It turned out that it was because of the couple's job transfer that they could not take care of their daughter Ruirui this year.
They sent Ruirui to the countryside and asked the old lady to take care of her for a while. The old lady happily prepared a new room for her granddaughter and let Ruirui live in peace.
That's it, they lived here one by one.
One day, Ruirui ran outside to play. There was a forest behind the village. There was a stream passing through the forest to this small village. Ruirui often came to the stream to play.
"Yuyou~"
"Huh?" Ruirui felt confused and went to the scream.
came to an abandoned garbage dump.
"Yuyou~" A sika deer kept fluttering its feet.
Ruirui walked forward and looked, and it turned out that the antlers on the deer's head was stuck on an abandoned iron fence.
She hurried back and called her grandmother.
"Grandma! Come with me!" The little girl grabbed the corner of her grandma's clothes and pulled it out.
"What's wrong?" Li Xiu'an asked.
"It seems that there is a wounded deer outside." Ruirui said to her grandmother.
The little girl pulled her grandmother to the original place.
Sure enough, the horn on a deer's head was stuck on the iron fence.
The hair on the deer is yellowish-brown, and its body is spots spread all over its body.
"It's a sika deer! " Li Xiu'an thought to herself, and she got up and went to observe next to the deer.
The deer was exhausted at this time. Before she could pull out the deer antlers, Li Xiu'an came to the deer and saw the iron fence that stuck the deer antlers.
She reached out to help, but Xiaolu began to twist her head again.
"Hey, stop moving!" Li Xiu'an said hurriedly.
There is a barbed wire mesh next to the iron fence. When the deer struggles, the barbed wire mesh will poke the deer's flesh. The old lady looked at the deer's body, and as expected, the barbed wire had pierced the flesh on the deer's neck and front legs.
The old lady touched the deer's body, and the deer gradually became quiet.
"I'll help you get your horns out!" She touched the snailed antlers of the sika deer, then untied the wire mesh wrapped around the horns of the deer, and pulled the horns out of the iron fence.
"Ouch! Finally it's gone!" Li Xiu'an sighed.
"Wow, grandma is so awesome!" Ruirui said happily.
"Grandma, but there are still injuries on its body!" The little girl pointed to the wound on the sika deer and said to her grandma.
"Ruirui, wait for grandma here, grandma goes back to get the medicine." Li Xiu'an ordered his granddaughter.
Not long after, Li Xiu'an came with the medicine.
The deer stared at the old lady in front of her with big watery eyes.
Li Xiu'an applied the potion in his hand to the deer's wound, and the deer was stimulated by the potion.
shouted "Yoyo".
"Grandma, slow down, the deer will hurt." Ruirui said to her grandma.
"Okay, grandma, apply medicine to it lightly!" Li Xiu'an replied looking at her well-behaved granddaughter, and then she took her movements lighter.
has finished applying the medicine, and the deer no longer struggles.
Li Xiu'an and Ruirui touched its head, and the deer responded gently. It stuck out its tongue and licked the little girl's hand.
"Okay, you can leave!" Li Xiu'an said to the Sika Deer.
"Grandma, the deer is so cute! I don't want it to leave!" Ruirui said to her grandma.
"Good boy!" Li Xiu'an pulled his granddaughter's hand and whispered to her: "Rurui has his own parents, grandma, and family. This sika deer also has its parents and family. It should go back to find his family!" Li Xiu'an said to Ruirui.
"Then will this deer come back?" Ruirui asked grandma.
"You have to ask Xiaolu for this question!" Li Xiu'an answered his granddaughter.
"Little Deer, will you come back? " Ruirui blinked her innocent big eyes and said to the Sika Deer.
"Yoyo~" Xiaolu shouted.
"That's great! You'll come back, right?" Li Xiu'an looked at his cheerful granddaughter and smiled happily.
The deer left, and Li Xiuan pulled her granddaughter back to her small house. In the few days after
, Ruirui kept playing by the stream where she met Xiaolu, but there was no trace of Xiaolu.
After eating that day, Ruirui said to her grandmother and ran to play again. She came here jumping and jumping.
"Ah! Little deer, is it you?" Ruirui saw a sika deer lowering her head to eat grass next to the stream.
"That's great! I knew you would come again." Ruirui saw a familiar scar on the deer's neck.
"It's that deer!" she thought to herself.
The deer turned her head and looked at the little girl, as if she recognized her, and shouted happily.
In this way, a little girl and a deer established a deep friendship.
On a day, Li Xiu'an was cooking by the pot. When he saw a sika deer following Ruirui, he walked towards the house.
"Rurui, why did you bring it here too? Is this the sika deer we saved before?"
"Yes, grandma, it came with me by itself!" Ruirui said to grandma.
Li Xiu'an opened the door of the house and let the sika deer walk in.
"Ruirui, come and have a meal!" Li Xiu'an greeted the little girl to the dining table and sat down, then got up to get something for Xiaolu.
Li Xiu'an brought some grass and corn stalks , put it in a small pot for the sika deer to eat.
So, in the future, whenever Li Xiu'an and his granddaughter have dinner, the sika deer will also eat beside him.
A year has passed, the flowers and plants have faded and bloomed again, and the horns on the sika deer's head have grown again after they fell off.
On this day, Li Xiu'an and Ruirui were picking grapes in the yard when they heard a "Didi" sound.
is Ruirui's father who came to pick Ruirui up and go home.
"Mom, thank you for your care for Ruirui over the past period of time. Thank you for your hard work!"
"What's the hard work! I only worked hard when Ruirui was away!" Li Xiu'an said dissatisfiedly to his son.
"It would be fine if you don't come to see me normally. Ruirui finally came, and you took her away so quickly!"
"Mom, look at what you said, aren't you relaxing and comfortable alone? Your son and Ruirui will come to see you often! Is Ruirui?" The man asked his daughter.
"Hmph, I don't want to go back. I want to live with my grandmother and Xiaolu forever!" Ruirui's mouth pouted.
"What are you saying, don't you go back to school? There are still your friends in the school." The man said to his daughter.
"Let's say goodbye to grandma!"
Ruirui looked at grandma and said to Li Xiu'an reluctantly: "Grandma, you must take good care of your body. My parents and I will visit you often!"
"Okay, Ruirui, grandma is waiting for you!"
"Also, grandma, You must say goodbye to Xiaolu, I haven't had time to say goodbye to Xiaolu!" Ruirui said.
"Okay, grandma promises you to say goodbye to Xiaolu."
"Okay, let's go, it will be dark if you don't leave!" Mom and Dad said to Ruirui.
"Let's go! Slow down the road! Report me safety when you get home safely." Li Xiu'an said to his son.
"Blessing grandma!"
"Goodbye Ruirui!" Li Xiu'an waved goodbye to his granddaughter Ruirui.
"Now, I am the lonely old lady left!" One day, the old lady sat on a chair in the living room and looked out the window and said.
"Yuyou" sounded outside the door.
"Little Deer!" Li Xiu'an quickly opened the door.
Xiaolu walked in and put her head on the old lady's clothes and rubbed it.
"That's great! You're with me, , now, I'm not alone !" Li Xiu'an said to Xiaolu.
Xiaolu seemed to understand grandma's words and looked at the old lady affectionately.
From then on, this sika deer often came to visit the old lady. The old lady sat in front of the door, and the deer stood beside Li Xiu'an, and the neighbor next to her exclaimed in surprise.
There are too many deer coming, so the neighbors are no longer surprised.
The old lady's children are not around, and the deer is by her side every day. The little animals are really spiritual!
