"Fairy Tale" Ginseng Doll

Small seeds, sprout quickly

Grow green leaves and bloom red flowers

Grow ginseng fat and strong

White beards Every time I hear this nursery rhyme, Ouli always thinks of his chubby little friend from childhood.

Ouli grew up in his grandparents' house. His parents were busy at work and had no time to take care of their children, so he was sent to the countryside from the age of five. There are children in the nearby neighbors, and children often come to play with Ouli. At first, Ouli went out a few times, but gradually, Ouli stopped going out anymore.

When the grandparents asked the reason, Ou Li didn't say anything. He just stood there with his head lowered. He looked pitiful. Although he couldn't see his expression, he saw that the toes of Ou Li's shoes were wet with tears drop by drop.

Grandma hugged Ouli tightly, stroked Ouli's back time and again, and said to Ouli: "My grandson, if you feel wronged, tell grandma, don't hold it in yourself, be good, look. You feel so sorry for grandma."

After hearing what grandma said, the five-year-old Ouli couldn't help crying anymore. After crying enough, Ouli said to grandma in a hoarse voice. I don’t want to play with them, they always bully me, saying that my parents don’t want me anymore, so they leave me here!”

Grandma smiled and wiped Ouli’s face with her rough fingers! He tapped the tip of Ouli's nose and said, "Silly boy, your parents are just too busy at work. Besides, why don't you stay here with your grandparents? As for those children, if you don't like them, just don't play with them!"

From then on, Ouli often played alone in front of and behind the house, occasionally picking flowers, pulling up grass, chasing chickens, and chasing ducks. Before he knew it, the day passed. .

But one day, Ouli provoked the neighbor's little yellow dog, and was chased by the little yellow dog. Unknowingly, he ran to the foot of the mountain not far behind the house, stepped on a stone under his feet, and unexpectedly... I accidentally fell, and when I looked back, I saw that the little yellow dog was gone.

After taking a long breath, Ou Li slowly stood up, only to find that his knee was broken. He wanted to cry but was holding back. At this moment, a white and fat child came over and said to Ou Li : "Hey, your leg is broken, let me blow it for you!" After saying that, he blew a few breaths on Ouli's leg.

Ouli's attention was completely attracted by the child in front of him. The child wore a red bellyband, red shorts, and a sky-high bun. He was white and fat, and had two dark eyes. Smart and lively, it looks like the New Year picture dolls on the wall of grandma’s house, so cute!

Seeing the New Year Painting Doll reaching out and shaking it in front of his eyes, Ou Li came back to his senses with some embarrassment. The New Year Painting Doll sat down next to Ou Li and asked Ou Li: "Why are you here alone? ?"

Ouli said: "I was chased by a dog! What about you?"

The New Year Painting Doll said: "I ran out because I was bored!"

Ouli said: "I'm bored too!"

"Then let's be friends, I like you very much!" the New Year Painting Doll said without hesitation.

When he heard that the other party wanted to be friends with him, Ouli was very happy and hurriedly agreed. From then on, Ouli went to the foot of the mountain every day to look for the New Year Painting Doll. That New Year Painting Doll was also a bold child, either climbing trees with Ouli or picking fruits with him!

Country kids are wild, and their grandparents don’t ask where Ouli goes and who he plays with, as long as he is happy! Ouli followed the New Year painting dolls to climb the trees on the mountain every day. He became a lot darker, his physical condition improved a lot, he ate more, and his grandparents were very happy.

One day at dinner, Grandpa accidentally asked Ouli: "Lili, who have you been playing with lately? Invite your friends to play at home tomorrow!" Ouli replied while eating. Grandpa said: "Grandpa, I forgot to ask him what his name was, but I invited him, but he didn't come."

Grandpa heard this and it was funny. The children had been playing together for so long, but they didn't know. What was his name? He said casually: "Tell me, what does that child look like? Grandpa, do you know whose child it is?"

Ouli described the New Year doll without even thinking about it. I told my grandpa.

After hearing this, grandpa's expression became a little confused and surprised, and then asked Ouli: "Lili, you said he was wearing a red bellyband, red shorts, and a bun with a sky-high bun?" Ouli nodded.

Grandpa thought for a while and said to Ouli: "Lili, it's too late, go to bed!" Early the next morning, after dinner, when Ouli was about to go out, grandpa stopped him and said: "Li Li, do you want to bring your friends home to play?"

Ouli said: "Of course I do, but he won't come!" Grandpa said: "Grandpa has a way. You Do you want to try it?" Ouli asked quickly: "Really, grandpa? Tell me what to do!"

Grandpa said: "Grandpa, here is a red rope, tie this end. Put it on your wrist and tie the other end to the child's hand, and he will come and play with you!" Ouli was doubtful, but still wore the red rope.

After seeing the New Year Painting Doll, he played with him for a whole day. When he was about to go home in the evening, he remembered what his grandfather said about the red rope. Ouli said to the New Year Painting Doll: "Shut up." Eyes, stretch out your hands." The New Year Painting Doll complied.

When Ouli was about to tie the red rope to the New Year painting doll's hand, the New Year painting doll suddenly opened its eyes, looked down at the red rope on his hand, suddenly broke free, and ran away quickly. Then he looked at Ori with puzzled and angry eyes.

After a long time, the New Year Painting Doll shouted to Ouli: "My mother is right, human beings are all liars, I will never play with you again, I hate you!" The New Year painting doll turned and ran away. Ou Li watched the New Year painting doll running smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a small carrot and got into the ground!

Ouli was frightened and ran home quickly. Before he could catch his breath after entering the house, his grandfather asked: "Lili, is your friend here?" Ouli shook his head and said: " He said I was a liar and would never come to play with me again!"

Grandpa touched Ouli's head and sighed, murmuring: "Oh, what a pity!"

A few years later, Ouli learned about the ginseng doll from other people’s chats. It is said that only ginseng that is over a thousand years old can turn into a doll and run around the mountains. If you want to catch the ginseng doll, you have to give it to him. Tie a red rope. Once tied, you can't run away again.

After hearing this, Ou Li recalled what his grandfather said, "It's a pity." At that time, he thought that his grandfather was sad that he had no playmates. Now that he thought about it, it was a pity that his grandfather did not catch the ginseng doll.

Until now, whenever Ou Li hears the ginseng doll's children's song, he will think of the doll that accompanied him all over the mountains and wild fields. Ou Li really wants to say "I'm sorry" to him in person, but since then, Ou Li has really I have never seen that white and fat baby again.
