Chapter 41 Adoption

When Shiro wakes up, he wishes nothing had happened. He just had a nightmare on a snowy night. Lying beside him at the moment will be his mother.

But that's not the case. Lying next to him was a strange woman. It was very warm to lie on the bed, but it was not the one he was familiar with.

Strange ceilings, strange rooms, strange beds, strange women. These things are all reminding Bai that everything is true, Mom is dead, Dad is also dead, only he was saved in the snowstorm, only him.

Bai carefully removed the arm that was pressing on his body, but the woman woke up faintly because of this careful movement.

"You're awake, little one. The woman smiled gently.

Bai Ji looked away unnaturally, squirmed his lips and said, "Thank you for saving me." ”

"You're welcome, what about your family, little one?" the woman felt a little mean, because she was expecting something.

"Daddy, Mommy"

"Yes, your father, your mother. Auntie can help you find your dad and mom. ”

"Dad, Mom can't be found. They died, were killed by the ninjas. Bai's tears poured out again, and he couldn't stop crying.

The woman hugged the crying child tightly, and her eyes were a little confused for a while. But looking at the face that was full of tears, her heart softened suddenly. She decided to adopt him.

The woman patted Shiro's back gently, as she did every time she cried Bai's mother. So Bai cried even more sadly. Finally he was tired of crying and lay tired in the woman's arms.

"What's your name, kid?"

"White, my name is White. ”

"White, it's a beautiful name. Did your mother pick it up for you? ”

"Yes, my mom loves snow so she gave me that name. ”

The woman hugged Shiro, and chatted with Bai in a soft voice, and they talked for a while.

"You're hungry, Shiro. I'll get you something to eat. You lie down here well. You know what. The woman smiled softly. Bai thought of his mother again.

Bai nodded and whispered, "Thank you!"

The woman went out and looked back at the white of her eyes by the door. Shiraya was looking at the woman, and he saw the woman blink and give him a nice smile.

After a while, the rustling sound of stir-frying was heard outside the door, and the air was filled with a good smell. Bai felt sleepy again, he had just been crying for a long time, and drowsiness hit him, and he closed his eyes again.

I don't know how long it took, but Bai Daze heard the voices of women and men in a daze.

"It's back, husband!" the woman who was busy in the kitchen smiled when she heard the man push the door open.

"Well, it's so fragrant! It's a mushroom stewed chicken, it looks like you can feast on it today" The man raised his head and took a deep breath. He sat down at the table, took off his thick gloves, took off his hat, and tended carefully.

"How's that kid, is he awake? ”

"Well, I'm awake. However, just after the high fever, the child had been freezing in the snow for so long, so he was still resting in the house. ”

"Knowing where his parents were, after dinner, I drove the child home. ”

The man looked down and took care of his hat, and when he looked up, he saw his wife take off her apron and walk towards him with a plate of hot dishes. The dish was placed in front of him, and his wife sat beside him, looking at him.

"What's wrong?" he looked into his wife's eyes, and years of affection made it easy for him to see the expectation and pleading in those eyes.

"I have something to discuss with you, husband. The wife frowned.

"Yes, say it. The man took his wife's hand and rubbed it gently, soothing his wife's emotions.

"I thought, I thought, adopt this child. The wife said slowly.

The man knew that his wife had always wanted to have a child, but this was impossible for him to give. He was delighted, he didn't understand what his wife was nervous about, and of course he would agree.

"So the child's parents are dead, and the child is an orphan?" he asked. The woman nodded.

"Have you already discussed with the child to let him live with us? ”

"Not yet, I'll find a chance to say it. ”

"Tell him when it's time to eat. I don't know if he will accept it. Woo~~ Stir-fry two more dishes to make dinner more hearty. The man said with a smile as he looked at the dishes on the table, a white breath coming out of his mouth.

But the wife sat beside the man and did not move, her hands clasped together restlessly.

"What's the matter, dear. ”

"The child's parents were killed by ninjas. And it was specially hunted and killed. The wife finally spoke.

"What!" the man stood up at once.

His brow furrowed tightly together and formed a pimple. He silently pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and inhaled hard, exhaling a puff of smoke. The woman looked nervously at her husband, waiting for his decision.

"My dear, do you know how dangerous this is. That's a ninja. A ninja who kills people without blinking. If we take this child in, then we will be annoyed. Stabbing the cigarette butt into the ashtray and twisting it fiercely, the man said helplessly.

"Then what do you want, get this kid out. Let him freeze to death in the wind and snow without any support?" the woman suddenly cried. She suddenly hardened.

"We can give him some money to go further away and hide. The man said consultatively.

"Come on, you conscienceless, where do you let a child go. The woman scolded.

She suddenly threw herself into the man's arms and hugged him tightly. She looked up at her husband with tears in her eyes.

"Please, we can hide him carefully so that those hateful ninjas won't find out. Besides, he's just a child, maybe the ninjas don't care about him at all, maybe the ninjas are just going to kill his parents."

The man wrapped his arms around his wife and finally nodded. He wiped the tears that kept pouring from his wife's eyes with his fingers.

"Okay, don't cry, if you cry again, the soup will be boiled. ”

"I'll wake up the kid and eat, and you go and bring the soup. ”

"Yes. The wife answered in a low voice, and left her husband's arms and went into the kitchen.

The man patted the clothes, then carefully arranged them. After a struggled decision, the man finally felt relaxed. But now, his heart was filled with anticipation and uneasiness. Will the kid say yes?

The man straightened his clothes and took a few deep breaths nervously in front of the door, and finally he opened the door.

He saw that the bed was neatly laid out, as if he had never been slept on. The windows of the room were blown open by the wind, and a cold wind blew in.

He looked around, and on the tabletop at the bedside, there was a scrap of paper. He picked up the piece of paper, and on it were two Juanxiu words that read: "Thank you!"

The man came to the window again, and he leaned out, and in the wind and snow, he saw two lines of shallow footprints on the ground.

"Where are you going?" asked the wife, who had just brought the chicken soup to the table, to her husband, who was in a hurry to go out.

"The kid is gone, I'm looking for him back!"

"Wait, I'll look for it with you. ”
