Chapter 18

# 七楼 · 第十八天

The Seventh Floor, Episode 18: The Storm on the Roof

今天，七楼有了一把新椅子。到了晚上，外面风很大，又下起了大雨。宁宁在手机上问乔安：“七楼的花怎么办？”

她马上给邹爷爷打电话，打了两次，没有人接。她拿起伞就出了门。

风太大了，走路都很难。她的伞一下子就被吹坏了，她只能在雨里跑。

到了六号楼下面，她看见有两个人在等她。一个是宁宁，一个是罗师傅。

她问：“你们也来了？”

罗师傅说：“宁宁给我打了电话。他说，他一个人的话，妈妈不让他出门。”

宁宁笑了：“所以我找了一个大人。”

三个人一起跑上了六楼。邹爷爷家的门关着，叫了几次，也没有人开门。可是旁边的铁门开着，上面亮着灯。

到了七楼，雨更大了。邹爷爷一个人站在雨里，正在搬一个花盆。他的头发上、衣服上都是水，那双旧鞋上也都是土。

她大声叫他：“爷爷！”

他看见了他们：“你们来做什么？快回去！”

宁宁已经跑了过去：“我们是来帮您的！”

外面有几十个花盆，可是最重要的是那五个长出了小绿叶的花盆。她拿一个，宁宁小心地拿最小的那个，邹爷爷拿一个，罗师傅一次拿两个。那两把椅子都被风吹倒了，罗师傅又跑了回去，把它们也拿进了小房间。

她把门关上，房间里一下子安静了。大家都看着那五个花盆。小绿叶都还在，一片也没少。

宁宁大声说：“我还以为它们都被吹坏了！”

邹爷爷看着他们三个，过了一会儿，小声说：“谢谢你们。”

她记得，他说过他不会说谢谢。可是今天，她第一次听见他说了这两个字。

这时候，罗师傅说：“这儿为什么也有水？”

窗户下面的地上都是水。他把旧桌子推开，桌子后面放着一个旧铁盒子，上面又是土又是水。

她把盒子拿起来。它很轻，里面好像有很多纸。

她问：“爷爷，这是您的吗？”

邹爷爷看着那个盒子，很久没说话。最后，他说：“我每天晚上都上来，可是从来没见过它。”
