The coldness of the wind wakes me from a shallow slumber.
Whether it's because of the location on the riverbank or because of the season that still has winter remnants, the nights are cold during admirable distress.
With exhaustion and drowsiness, he moves his heavy body, throwing dead branches into a small burning fire.
Now it will be a little warmer and you will be able to sleep a little more.
Sleeplessly endures an uncomfortable wait.In the meantime, I noticed myself grabbing the cape on my shoulder.
This cape is the only one warming up on a cold night of distress.
This coat protects your little body from the cold of the night.
"When I get home, I have to thank my mother..."
This coat was given to me by my mother.It was a colder winter day.
As you feel the heat of the fire in your face, your awareness sinks into thin air.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a white-colored exhalation in front of me.
Winter mornings are very cold in our home, where the breeze (s) of the thick habitat enter and exit at a leisurely pace.
The first person to wake up today is my mother, a hardworking worker.
Even though it would be unimaginable to pull out of a warm futon, I seem to have woken up today to warm up the house by lighting a fire.
Absolutely worthy of respect.In this cold air, it's always hard to make my mother dress up in the morning, so I get up dumbfounded.
"Oh, good morning, Ash... I can still sleep."
"Thank you... but I'll wake up."
Because you're my mother, I can't take care of the morning's hard work all the way from one to ten.
I got out of bed while warming up with the filial piety that lit up in my chest.It is no longer my rule that the last man should be my father.
Well, even if this person wakes up early, it's only useful in the morning to draw water.
"Fufu, that's great, Ash..."
"You're a better mother's child."
However, the mother of the boulder is not sleeping enough in the cold of winter, and her voice is fluffier than usual.
"For now, I'll start a fire."I'll fetch some water later, so Mom needs to prepare breakfast. ”
"Oh, thank you. Right... I wonder if I could ask you..."
With the thin branches that were prepared in the night, I scattered the ashes of the ashes.
Digging out charcoal and buried fires that still have enough heat from the bottom of the ashes.If you cover this hot guy with the prepared straw again, the fire that has endured a long night of winter will start a fire immediately.
"Hey, Sheba?"
When I was filial to my mother, it seemed that my father had finally woken up.
Turning around, my father looked terrified.I'm not your usual dad when I wake up.
I had a bad feeling, and I followed my father's gaze.There she stands as if she had forgotten what the working mother was trying to do.
Fluffing, his head shook reliantly.
"Sheba! Watch out!"
Father jumps out of bed in a crotch and hugs his fallen mother.
Father, you are unusually great!I was relieved, but my father's face became even more blue.
"Ash! Damn, he's got a fever!"
"Do you have a cold!? That's bad!"
Like a mirror copy of my pale father, I also get bloodshot.
Shit. How bad is it? It's not so uncommon to die in a village without a doctor or a pharmacist.
"Father, please put me to bed for now!"
"Got it! Ah, Ash, the medicine! You bought some pills from Quid!Where did that go! "
"I'll take it now!" Dad, please have some water! "
The two men rush around babbling.
For the time being, I will give my father some of the medicines I keep at home that are said to be antipyretic.
I don't know if it works, so my expectations are low.Therefore, we must concentrate on nursing care.
"Well, yeah. For now, let's burn more firewood to heat up the room.I also want to boil water, make drinking water a little safer, and say that rice is easy to eat and nutritious... ”
I can't expect nutritious food in my home in winter.
From the ingredients available in the current village, at least the recipes that are easy to eat are considered.But you don't have much of a choice!
"Is it food? What kind of food should I have?"
"Oh, yeah... milk and eggs?"I think that chicken meat is relatively easy to eat and good for the body.Ah, some honey and some fruits... "
You can make something easy to eat even if you have a cold, but none of these!
My home really is a desperate settlement!
"Good. Milk and chicken stuff, honey and fruits. Leave it to me!"
"You want to leave it to my dad?"
"I'll run to the city and buy it!"If you go now, you'll be in time for sunset! "
“There may be cities, but do you know where you can get them?”
"I don't know! But I have relatives in the city."Just ask him to tell me! "
What a bump to go.
That said, I would be very grateful to my mother, who was weakened by the cold, if she could get it.Take out my mother's (father's) confidential possessions with a single hope.
“Father, this is money. I can't say that it's good to use it up, but I can't replace my mother's life, so even if I use it up, it's useless.We'll apologize if Mom gets angry later. "
"Oh, please be serious at that time."I'll be right there, so you stay with Sheba. "
"Leave it to me, don't worry about this."If I have to, my neighbors will also help me. ”
I hit my father's big fist with my clenched fist.It's been a long time since my father was a father, so I was a little touched.
Seeing off the back of my running father, I looked back to my mother, who was exhaling in pain on the bed.
“Mom, Mom, I'm going to fetch some water and get some firewood.I'll be right back, so don't worry, just go to sleep. "
From now on, mothers should have a good night's sleep in a warm place and get plenty of liquids and nutrients.
I am no longer the only one at home who can prepare for it.
"Ash... wait..."
"Yes, what is it?" Is it cold? "
"That's right, it's cold..." So, before I go outside... "
Mother takes off the cape she wore on her shoulder and spins it around my neck.
"I have to dress warmly..."If Ash gets a cold, it's terrible... "
It's going to be you who's in trouble right now.Inadvertently, I want to say it out loud.
Is this my mother?
Even though your consciousness is fading with high fever, you're still worried about me in such a state.
Mother smiles as she carefully ties the cape strings and says it's okay.
"I'm sorry to drop you, but I'll give it to Ash..."Now you can protect Ash from the cold no matter what happens to me..... "
It was a beautiful but unseen way of laughing, like an ash that was about to collapse.
"It's okay, Mom. I won't let you wake up with anything."
I stretched out my back and hugged my mother.Then he hastened out to draw water and carry firewood.
It wasn't even cold under the cold winter sky.
When I opened my eyes, it wasn't my home, it wasn't my village, it was the riverbank in the woods.
In front of him, the fire was shaking in a small, unreliable way.He hurriedly feeds the dead branch to the burning fire and puts his hand on the knot of the cape.
"Thank you, Mom."
Thanks to you, I slept warmly in a camp in distress.
