Then, in the open wooden window, came the clear voice of the little girl's silver bell. She said excitedly,
"Grandparents, I just saw the beautiful aunt in my uncle's photo. It's really beautiful..."
In the wooden house, the decoration of the typical Italian rural architectural style brings the simplicity and antiquity of the land.
The charcoal fire in the closet was burning vigorously. The whole wooden house was warm, and the air was filled with a faint cool and slightly bitter herbal flavor.
……
As soon as the little girl ran into the cabin, she looked around.
When I saw my grandfather sitting on the cane chair grinding herbs, I ran over with a smile. I spoke fluent English very well,
"Grandfather, grandfather, I just saw a beautiful aunt!"
On the rattan chair covered with a thick cashmere blanket, a grizzled and intelligent looking old westerner was carefully grinding the herbs in the small grinding plate.
The old man's name is Anthony. He is the owner of the small vineyard and the head of the village.
Anthony looked up at his little granddaughter Belinda and asked with a kind smile,
"Belinda, which beautiful aunt do you say?"
Belinda smiles naively and points her hand to the room in the cabin,
"That's the beautiful aunt in Uncle Daniel's picture!"
Anthony was surprised and excited.
He quickly put down the ground herbs in his hand, stood up from the cane chair, lowered his head to ask the little girl, and took off the coat on the hanger at the door of the living room,
"Belinda, where did you just see the aunt in the picture?"
……
Belinda turned her arm, reached out through the wooden window and pointed to the swing under the pergola,
"I just fell asleep on the swing.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the beautiful aunt standing in the shade of a tree outside our manor. "
Anthony looked in the direction of Belinda's fingers.
However, I didn't see any strangers, let alone the woman in the picture of the man he rescued from the shore of the Italian seaport.
Belinda saw her grandfather's doubts, and her big eyes were more sincere. She continued,
"My aunt has gone. She's gone in the blink of an eye."
Listening to his little granddaughter's words, Anthony's frown deepened.
At this time, the old woman, Antony's wife, Martha, who was preparing dinner, heard the conversation in the living room.
Martha came out with the freshly baked cookies and asked Anthony suspiciously,
"What happened, old man?"
Anthony just told him about the little granddaughter, Martha reached for Belinda, Belinda ran over with a smile.
Martha kisses her granddaughter on the forehead,
"Belinda, you should be sleeping on the swing, dreaming to see that beautiful aunt, ha ha..."
……
Belinda also kisses grandma on the cheek, and then shakes her head solemnly,
"Grandma, I really saw Uncle Daniel's girlfriend. It's more beautiful than the picture."
That pair of beautiful eyebrows and eyes, flashing children's unique innocence, Belinda repeated,
"It's true. You have to believe me."
Looking at her granddaughter, Martha also has some doubts. She looks at Anthony standing at the door and looks at each other.
Anthony frowned and put on his heavy coat, which he had already held in his hand,
"Martha, I'll go out and have a look. I've ground the herbs. Go to your room and change the dressing for Daniel."
Daniel, it's the English name they gave to the Oriental man who rescued him from serious injury.
In Western dictionaries, the name "Daniel" means handsome and mysterious.
When Anthony saw the man on the filthy shore of the harbor, he was covered with blood, but he looked extraordinary.
……
Martha came over and straightened Anthony's coat collar. Then she looked at the herbs in the grinding bowl in front of the cane chair and nodded with a smile,
"Well, don't worry too much."
Anthony's wrinkles were lighter, and he answered,
"Well."
Then he walked out of the hut, through the vineyard outside and along the cobblestone path.
In the cabin, Martha turns around, picks up the herbs ground in front of the cane chair, and holds Belinda by the wrist,
"Come on, let's change uncle Daniel's dressing."
Belinda nodded solemnly,
"Good."
Then we went into the room inside the cabin.
……
Martha went to the bed, bent down, and gently lifted some of the flat quilts off the bed.
The setting sun shone through the wooden window.
A man is lying on the bed with a perfectly defined face.
The short black hair falls on Leng Yi's forehead and cools his eyebrows. His straight nose and thin lips are light red,
At a glance, you can see that this man has an extraordinary look.
However, the man's eyes, but wrapped with a layer of thick white gauze, gauze also dyed some herbs from inside, permeate out a light green.
Martha carefully unties the white gauze on the man's eyes, and then cleans up the herbs that have been applied on the man's eyes. Then she changes the herbs that Anthony has just grinded, and finally takes the white gauze to wrap up the eyes again.
Next to her, Belinda watched quietly.
Children are always the kindest people in the world.
……
Belinda looked at the man whose eyes had been changed for herbal medicine, raised her head and looked at her grandmother with a twinkling of innocent and distressed light in her eyes,
"Grandma, Grandpa will cure uncle Daniel's eyes, right?
When will uncle Daniel wake up? "
Martha bent over and gave Belinda a kiss on the cheek. Then she looked at the man lying on the bed in a coma. She replied kindly and seriously,
"Belinda, uncle Daniel's eyes are seriously injured. Your grandfather will try his best to treat him.
You saw that day that Daniel was covered with blood when he was rescued by his grandfather, so he needs a good rest. We also believe that uncle Daniel will wake up soon, OK
Belinda turned her head and looked at the man on the bed. She stood on tiptoe and carefully held the man's palm on the sheet.
Compared with the delicate skin of a child, the palm of a man's hand is full of cocoons worn out by holding a gun, which is a little rough,
Belinda, on the other hand, shook it gently.
In a low voice,
"Uncle Daniel, I'm sure you'll try as well.
Oh, by the way, uncle Daniel, I saw the beautiful aunt in Uncle Daniel's photo just now. She's your girlfriend, right?
Aunt wearing a long red skirt, really beautiful.
Originally I wanted to stop her, but before I had time, my aunt disappeared in the blink of an eye. "
With that, Belinda's happy eyes darkened a little,
