Chapter 23: Desert Flowers

The night is always so silent, and even the sound of a silk ribbon fluttering is abrupt.

Bai Yue was wearing a red tulle nightdress, her shoulders were exposed, a pair of evenly tight long feet swayed forward, her long hair was scattered, she was barefoot, she approached Bai Long silently, and hugged him tightly from behind.

The white dragon stiffened, then pulled her away.

Bai Yue sat on the chair on the side with loss and indignation, and quickly said with a sad face: "Have you been ignoring me like this? Have you forgotten your mother's words?"

Bai Long's eyes stared at the screen in front of him, his brows were almost furrowed, and the data on the screen became blurry, and it was white...

The scorching sun was so dazzling that he could only squint into a slit and stare ahead, but there was nothing but sand and sky in front of him.

The footprints behind him were quickly buried by the wind and sand, nature does not like intruders, ruthlessly and wreakingly destroying his only remaining hostage, he did not dare to stop, he could only slowly drag his tired body forward with a deep foot and a shallow foot.

A military uniform that had long been in tatters, he was lucky that both pilots with him were left in the desert forever when the plane crashed. But he is unlucky, such a boundless desert is just another way to die for him, who has long been exhausted.

His mind has been closed, he has long lost the desire to survive and fighting spirit at the beginning, one day, two days, or three days, he can't remember clearly, everything he brought with him has been lost, his face is full of sunburned skin, and his lips are dry and oozing blood along the mouth, but he doesn't dare to lick it, it will hurt more.

Vaguely, he seemed to see his mother in a long white dress standing not far away beckoning to him, his blood boiled again, he tried his best to run to her, but the moment his feet were raised, his whole body had no strength to put down, so he fell down, rolled down the sand dunes all the way to the low end, he couldn't open his eyes anymore...

The sun stinged his eyes again, why did he continue to suffer when he died, was he destined to stay in the endless desert for eternity?

He tried to open his eyes, but he saw a different scene, the sun shining through the white gauze curtain into the room and falling on him. He struggled to hold his head, and found himself on a drip, in a bright room, with delicate wooden furniture neatly laid out all around, and the soft quilt on the bed was very intimate.

He thought about it carefully, felt it with his heart, and after a long time, he realized that he was saved, and his head was pressed back against the pillow, and his eyes were closed again.

He was rescued by a girl from a small town on the edge of the desert, the daughter of the mayor and the most beautiful girl in the desert.

A week later, he was able to walk on the widest road in town, and although he was a pilot, he had a good upbringing and a keen mind in the developed world, and his rich experience soon won the affection of the townspeople.

The girl who saved him took special care of him, and kept him in his own home to recuperate, for a foreign boy, he was rescued by a beautiful and kind girl, and the man was talented and beautiful, the story naturally developed according to the old routine, and they fell in love!

This kind of love must also be indispensable to the opposition of the girl's family, his father, that is, the mayor of the town, although he also likes this foreign young man, but he has his own plans, he is ready to join forces with the rich merchants in the town, so that it is the best choice for his daughter.

The mayor blasted the young man out of his house, and the young man planned to return to his own country, and on the night of his departure, the girl gave him the most precious body of a young girl, and he became a real man, and made her a more beautiful woman.

Soon after the man returned home, the woman found him at the address he had given, because she was pregnant, and ran out secretly.

But what the woman didn't expect was that the man's family was so rich, and the determination she made after breaking with her father was shaken, and she was a little scared, afraid of this wealth.

Because on the way here, she longed for him and her to buy a small house by the sea, after their child was born, he went fishing, she cooked at home and took care of the child, she imagined that the happiness was incomparable, but the reality of the big house and a group of servants frightened her.

His frequent outings with various friends made her feel uneasy, but fortunately he still loved her so much, and soon after, their daughter was born, and the daughter looked like a woman, he loved this child very much, for the sake of the child he rarely went out again, and his friends rarely came to disturb their three-person world, and the happiness of women returned to his heart.

Such happiness lasted for five years.

One night five years later, the wind was blowing, the lightning was thundering, the woman was crying hysterically in bed, she did not expect the second birth to be so painful, the man held her hand tightly, but could not help her share the pain, the wind and the rain beat against the window, as if they were the sadistic of this pain, and it became more and more brutal.

It rained all night, the woman was in pain all night, the man prayed and guarded all night, the night was so long, at dawn, the child was born, but when the doctor handed the child over to the man, the woman tried to open her eyes, but she only saw the surprise and disappointment on the man's face, the man put the child aside, and left without saying a word.

The torrential rain stopped, the city's levees were washed away, flooding low-lying houses, trees were crooked, roads were full of standing water, garbage and debris were floating on the water, people were running around to escape from danger, the cries of children and the shouts of adults were mixed, and the chaos seen by men standing on balconies made his noisy heart even more noisy.

Since their son was born, he had never hugged him once, he only loved his daughter with all his heart, and the woman could feel that he no longer loved her as much as before.

He rarely came to their room, most of the time, he just slept in the bedroom, she looked at her son in the cradle, he was so small, but unusually white, she asked the doctor, this disease can not be cured, but it does not affect his growth.

She understands his dislike for children, but she believes that as long as she takes care of him and the children as before, one day he will fall in love with this innocent son, and for a woman, the responsibility of being a mother will always be higher than being a wife.

Gradually, the daughter became sensible, although the man did not like to let his daughter come to see his little brother, but the blood relationship between them made the little girl love and protect him more, and even sometimes the man's scolding could not stop her determination to protect her brother.

The woman saw it in her eyes, but it hurt in her heart, she waited quietly, thinking that the man would always figure it out, and would always love his son like a daughter, but the man has not changed, and it is getting more and more serious.

The woman resigned herself to thinking that this would be it, at least she could see her two children happily together every day, but she didn't know that this was only the beginning of the pain.

When the daughter reached the age of going to school, the man actually sent his daughter abroad, no matter how much the woman begged the man to be indifferent, at first she could say that it was for the future of her daughter, and when she arrived, she just left in disgust.

The daughter was reluctant to leave her mother and her brother, but she couldn't disobey her father's arrangement, so she was carried away crying.

The man does not give her the opportunity to see her daughter, the man always goes abroad to see his daughter regularly, and never mentions his daughter's condition to her, the first few times she ran to ask, it was all the man's tired prevarication, so she could only take care of her son, but fortunately with her son by her side, she put away her wild in the desert, only to be a gentle mother, guarding him every day.

But a few years later, the man couldn't help but throw his six-year-old son into an off-road vehicle, and when the woman chased him out, the car had already driven far away, and the woman couldn't see any other adults in the car besides the driver, so did he want to throw his son away? She chased for a long distance until she couldn't see the trace of the car before she thought of running back and asking the man.

The man simply replied that he would send his son out for exercise, and then ignore her and let her cry aside.

The woman couldn't get the slightest news about her son from the man, and all she could think of was the car that drove quickly, bringing up dust all the way, and she couldn't reach it no matter how much she reached out to get him back.

She wanted to find a man to ask the truth, but the man always avoided her, so she hid for half a month, during which she couldn't eat or sleep, thinking that her baby might have no food to eat, no water to drink, no clean place to sleep, she was afraid that he would have any accidents.

She began to hate the man, hated him for being so ruthless, although their child was different, but he was their child after all, and she began to ask men like crazy, so men rarely came home......

It wasn't until half a month later that she leaned against the window as usual, and saw the off-road vehicle, she ran downstairs, and her man was also in the car.

After the car stopped, the man got out of the car, the driver also got out of the car, opened the back door, she saw a scene that made her almost dizzy, her son was lying in the back seat with blisters all over his body, thick water and blood were flowing in many places on his body, and his eyes were closed.

She trembled forward and picked him up, his whole body was hot to her heart, she didn't look at the man, and ran into her room with the child in her arms.

She wiped her son with tears, he was so small, so thin, a month to make an originally chubby little guy into a little monster without a human form, fortunately she turned out to be a nurse, and fortunately she was able to bring the best doctor, and the child finally slowly recovered.

During this time, she stopped looking for men and ignored them, and she began to avoid him.

From the child's mouth, she knew that the cruel man actually sent his son to a forest, although there were other people with him, but the man did not care about him at all, did not give him food, did not give him drink, and only slept in the field at night, this was not the worst, the most serious thing was that he could not stand the sun, when they came out of the forest, when he was exposed to the sun, he began to blister all over his body, and it became more and more serious, and finally he started a high fever.

The woman was terrified when she heard this, for a six-year-old child, how terrible that environment was, any small accident could kill the child, but that ruthless man could do it. She was always by her son's side with fear, and even if she fell asleep, she would wake up quickly, afraid that the child would go to such a terrible place again.

Two months later, the child's illness was all cured, and she was relieved, but what she didn't expect was that the man forcibly took the child away in the afternoon, she felt that her heart was completely broken by the man, and the man had to crush back and forth on her broken heart before it ended, and she fell into the bottomless abyss again.

She didn't eat anything, just leaned against the window and looked out. The man approached her and tried to comfort her, and told her that he still loved her the same, and let them start again, but she couldn't listen to anything, and always grabbed the man's collar like crazy, begging, distressing, insulting, slapping, no matter what, as long as the man returned the child, the man lost patience and was determined to stop looking for her.

They slowly walked farther and farther away.
