Chapter 476: Xiang Huai
Chapter 476 Xiang Huai
My father left for three days, and he called home regularly every night for the first two days, but on the third night, Xiang Huai and his mother had finished dinner, and they didn't wait for his father's call.
"Daddy is coming home? I'll go to the village to have a look. "Somehow, Xiang Huai's heart was unstable all day, as if something was going to happen.
Xiang Huai's mother seemed to be aware, she subconsciously glanced out of the dark window, and said "um" as if nothing.
Xiang Huai didn't notice his mother's abnormality, and went out with the family's flashlight.
It was the height of summer, and it was originally dark late, but today for some reason, it was only more than eight o'clock, and it was dark outside, and I couldn't see the moon when I looked up. Xiang Huai walked quickly all the way to the head of the village, and saw that there were only a few people enjoying the cool and chatting by the pond, so he didn't come over, so he stood not far away and looked at the road.
The croaking of frogs in the pond is no longer as pleasant as it used to be, and Xiang Huai, who is in a depressed mood at this time, only feels noisy, and wants to throw a few stones into the pond to drive those annoying guys away.
"Dad!" Just when Xiang Huai became more and more anxious as he waited, thinking about whether to go to the county overnight, he saw his father from a distance. He shouted happily and greeted him briskly.
The few people who were gathered together by the pond were silent, they stared at the side of the road with wide eyes, and then looked at Xiang Huai who was striding towards him with strange expressions, and their faces invariably showed a look of horror. In the end, it was a gray-haired uncle who opened his mouth tremblingly: "Huaizi, you, what are you doing?"
Xiang Huai was already walking up to his dad at this time, and he replied casually: "Pick up my dad." β
"Stinky boy, deliberately entertain your uncle, how can there be a shadow of your father?" The middle-aged man with a fierce face next to the uncle seemed to have just come back to his senses, grabbed Xiang Huai, who was passing by him, and raised his hand to beat him.
Only then did Xiang Huai realize that something was wrong. He looked at several uncles in a daze, and saw that they were all frightened, and then turned his head to look at his father who was walking slowly, and only felt that it was indescribably strangeβhis father didn't like to talk, but he was kind to people, and he grinned when he saw people from afar, and he had never been as blue and expressionless as he was at this time. Looking back at the uncles, the fear on their faces began to be full of uncertainty, and there was anger in their eyes.
"It's not good to stay at home and watch TV, what kind of mess is wrapped up in the big night!" The other people had anger and embarrassment on their faces that they couldn't hide from being frightened by the junior's pranks, but thinking of Xiang Huai's past achievements, they didn't dare to say it ruthlessly, and they pulled away the one who was going to do it, and they dispersed. It's just that, compared with the past, tonight's pace has unconsciously accelerated a lot.
Xiang Huai stood still for a while, and then suddenly turned back to look for his father's "figure".
At some point, his father had already crossed him in the direction of home, and Xiang Huai forced himself to ignore the strange reactions of several uncles, and trotted after him.
"Dad!" he shouted as he lowered his voice as he reached for his father's clothes. But apart from the sudden chill on my fingertips, I didn't touch anything.
Xiang Huai couldn't believe what was happening in front of him, and insisted on reaching out again and again, but the cruel reality told him that it was not an illusion!
Mu Ran followed the familiar and unfamiliar figure to the door of the house, and watched his father pass through the door, Xiang Huai, who had never shed tears since he was a child, burst into tears in an instant.
"I'm back, hurry into the house. β
Listening to his mother's words, Xiang Huai subconsciously wiped his sleeves to wipe away the tears on his face, and was about to agree, when he heard a familiar answer: "Well, don't be busy, I'll come by myself." β
Having just experienced his father's blindness, Xiang Huai couldn't believe his ears. He didn't care about locking the door, and ran quickly to the hall, "Mom......"
"I know," Xiang Huai's mother looked even paler than usual, and she said with a smile, "Go and lock the door, Mom has something to tell you." β
Xiang Huai locked the door and entered the hall, and saw his mother holding his "father's" hand and chanting words.
"Your dad was in a car accident. Xiang Huai's mother didn't wait for her son to speak, and continued, "You should have heard from the people in the village about the ancient Huai in our courtyard, right?"
Xiang Huai didn't understand why his mother suddenly mentioned the ancient acacia in the courtyard, but he still replied in a panic: "It was said that it caused the thunder fire, and Dad accidentally got it and was in a coma for several days." β
"Well, I actually caused that thunderfire, and your dad saved my life. Looking at his son's confused look, Xiang Huai's mother confessed without any foreshadowing, "That ancient acacia tree is me." β
ββ¦β¦ "The story of the gods and monsters in the countryside, especially in the mountains, can be said to be widely spread, many old men and old ladies in the village love to tell the children about some strange things, Xiang Huai is no stranger to these.
It's just that being a stranger doesn't mean that he can easily accept the fact that his own mother is non-human!
"You too. Xiang Huai's mother didn't give her son any time to buffer, and threw another big thunder, "It's just that I have been cultivating for many years to become a spirit, and you are a natural spirit." β
At this moment, Xiang Huai understood a lot of things - understood why he had more strength and ate more than other children since he was a child; understood why his parents never worried about him entering the mountains alone when he was young; and also understood why his mother's body would be weaker every winter, but it was relatively better in other seasons...... "Mom's poor health is also because of that thunderfire?"
"No, it's because I gave birth to you. Xiang Huai's mother took her son to her side, "It's a great opportunity to become a human form, my mother is greedy, and she took the risk to give birth to you......"
