Feeling a Little Cold

About This Novel
Old man Qiu lay quietly in the coffin. He lay on his bed listening to the water flowing by the ditch. The birds chirping outside the school house. Count the stones on my wife's grave. These are all interesting things that Old Man Qiu has been doing recently. Old Man Qiu finished counting the last stone on the grave and said softly that Qingfa would not be able to come back today. He opened his mouth and swept his tongue around his teeth as a habit. Old Man Qiu felt the presence of foreign matter between the sparse teeth. He knew that these were the strands of flesh left between his teeth yesterday afternoon. He stretched out two fingers and pulled it out accurately, licked it twice with the tip of his tongue, and swallowed it before chewing. Old man Qiu tasted a spicy smell, and he walked into a morning three years ago in this kind of friendly smell.
