Chapter 69: Healing Wounds
"Home?"
Hearing Wen An'an's words, the others all looked at Wen An'an with strange expressions, not understanding the meaning of her words.
Seeing that everyone else looked uncertain, Wen Anan had no choice but to continue to add: "Home, that is, it is the home where we lived before, and there are many people together. Just like the village we went to before, we used to live in that kind of place."
As soon as Wen An'an's words fell, Wen suddenly stood up and scolded in the direction of Wen Anze and Wen Anhao: "Who are you two and who said such things to An An?"
Wen An'an saw that Wen's reaction was so fierce, and without even asking the reason, he began to teach his two elder brothers a lesson. So he hurriedly stood in front of the two of them, opened his hands to protect the two of them and said, "No, it wasn't my brother who told me." Mother, you can't scold your brother without even asking"
Wen Anze and Wen Anhao, who were originally training with their heads bowed, suddenly heard the voice of their sister standing up to defend them, both of them were stunned, and then immediately stood up from the ground and instinctively pulled Wen Anan behind them.
It wasn't until this series of actions was completed that the two of them reacted to their actions, which looked like Wen was going to hurt An An.
Wen Anze coughed lightly a few times to hide his embarrassment, and then begged for mercy: "Mother, don't worry, this matter is indeed not what I said to An Hao." It may be that my sister saw other people's families like this, so she just said this, don't get excited, just talk to her, and the province will frighten An An."
When he heard Wen Anze's three or two sentences, he had to erase the true meaning of what he just said. Wen An'an immediately came out of the middle of Wen Anze and Wen Anhao, held his head high and said firmly to Wen's: "Mother." It's not what Big Brother said, I mean it like I said. I'm going home, don't treat my face. Let's go home together."
Looking at Wen An'an's firm gaze, Wen only thought that his daughter was playing a child's temper. squatted down with a smile and coaxed Wen An'an softly: "An'an, it was my mother who blamed the two brothers just now." However, An An, your illness has not been cured, how can you go home. When An An is cured, let's go home immediately, okay? ”
"I'm going home. I want to go home."
"An An, be good, listen to your mother,"
Wen An'an saw that it was useless to talk to Wen's, so she shook off Wen's hand holding her, ran to her father, and begged him: "Dad, you say something, An An wants to go home." Let's go home."
For a long time, Wen Qing'an has responded to Wen An'an's words, this time. Although Wen Anan is not 100% sure, he feels that he is also somewhat sure.
To her surprise, Wen Qing'an actually shook her head. Then he coaxed her like Wen and said, "An An, be nice." Listen to your mother, we have to cure your illness first. So I can go home."
Seeing that both father and mother said this, Wen An An'an knew that this road would not work.
Breaking free from Wen Qingan's embrace, Wen Anan took two steps back, and then looked at his father and mother seriously and said, "Dad, mother, An An is serious."
Wen saw that his daughter was still playing with a child's temper, so he wanted to take a few steps forward to coax her.
But as soon as her feet were raised, she heard An An shouting at her: "You are not allowed to come"
This is the first time Wen An'an yelled at Wen's family.
To be honest, in addition to guilt, there is also a faint relief of indulgence. This night, the abscesses that festered in their hearts could finally be removed one by one.
Staring at her sour and warm eyes, Wen An'an's voice echoed in the tent: "Since I can remember, I have always followed my father, mother, brother and Uncle Xue outside, and seeing everyone else living in the house, An An is really envious."
Just this sentence made Wen, who was standing there, cry lowly.
Although they can't bear to hurt Wen Niang in this way, since they have to treat the wound in their hearts, the pain caused by pulling out the abscess is something they must experience, because as long as this way, the wound can grow again.
However, An An is accompanied by her father, brother, and Uncle Xue, and An An feels that it doesn't matter if she doesn't have a house to live in. It doesn't matter if you have to drink very bitter medicine every day."
"An An, An An, don't say it, my mother begs you not to say it"
Looking at the Wen clan who was about to rush over, Wen Qing'an said to Wen Anze and Wen Anhao in a dumb voice: "An Ze, An Hao, pull your mother and let An An finish speaking"
"Hmm"
After the two of them choked up, they got up and grabbed Wen who wanted to come forward.
"An An, you go on"
Looking at Wen Qingan's barely smiling face, Wen Anan only felt that his heart hurt a lot, and most of the courage just now was gone. Lowering his head and not daring to look at the tearful eyes in front of him again, Wen Anan lowered his head slowly, only if he didn't look at it, did he have the courage to continue.
After calming down his emotions for a while, Wen Anan looked at the ground before continuing: "However, it's been so long, and we haven't found that miracle doctor. So An An doesn't want to save face."
"Then if you continue, maybe you can find it?"
Listening to Wen Qing'an's question, Wen Anan sighed in his heart, it seems that he still hasn't said much about this father. I had no choice but to take out the last chips.
So Wen An'an raised his head, looked at Father Wen with a firm gaze and said, "What if I can't find it?" Do you let your father and brother write letters for others every day, let Uncle Xue do coolies for others, or let your mother do laundry and cook for others. An An is still young, and there will be opportunities to treat his face again in the future, but the eldest brother and the second brother have grown up, the eldest brother is twelve years old this year, and even the second brother is ten years old. If because of An An's matter, my brothers can't go to school and study anymore, what should I do? ”
When Wen An'an mentioned Wen Anze and Wen Anhao's studies, she could clearly feel the pain in Wen Qingan's eyes. At this moment, she dared to be sure that not only Father Wen, but even Niang Wen, who insisted on opposing it, was shaken.
In order to strike while the iron was hot, Wen Anan hurriedly continued to persuade them: "After we go home, Daddy and Uncle Xue don't have to be so tired, and my brothers can go to school." Then with the wisdom of the brothers, they will definitely be able to become good officials, and then let the two of them inform the whole village for An An, oh no, notify the whole country, and find all the Lang Zhong for An An, isn't this okay? ”
After Wen An'an finished speaking, there was silence in the tent, except for Wen's low sobs, only the occasional 'whooshing' sound from the felt cloth was blown.
After about a cup of tea quietly, the first person to speak was Xue Er, who had been silent next to him.
"Brother Wen, sister-in-law, no matter what An An just said, there is one sentence in her words that is right, An Ze and An Hao's age cannot be delayed"
Hearing Uncle Xue mention the two of them, the two immediately stood up and said to Wen Qing'an: "Dad, we have nothing to do, usually An Hao and I are studying on the road, we can keep up"
"Yes, Dad, don't listen to An An's nonsense, my brother and I can study seriously, and we haven't dropped off our studies at all. Let's cure An An's illness first."
For the current level of the two sons, no one knows the Tao better than him.
Looking up at his son and daughter, Wen Qingan's heart at the moment hurt as if he had been cut by a knife.
I'm already sorry for my little daughter, and now even my two sons have been delayed. His daughter's words were indeed like a slap in the face, which woke him up completely. If it weren't for An An, he might have pretended not to notice the problem.
"An Ze, An Hao, take An An, go out with your Uncle Xue, I'll discuss with your mother for a while"
The voice was full of exhaustion, as if it had aged a lot in an instant.
Originally, he wanted to say something, but he could look at the crying Wen and Wen Qing'an, who bowed his head and was silent, but Wen Anan didn't speak again in the end, but just followed his brother and Uncle Xue out of the tent.
After coming out, Wen Anhao squatted down suddenly, hugged Wen An'an, and kept repeating in her ear in a low voice: "An An, I'm sorry, An An, it's all the second brother's fault, I'm sorry, An An"
Wen Anan patted the second brother's back and coaxed softly: "Second brother, you are not wrong, why do you have to apologize to An Andao?"
"No, it's the second brother's fault, so everything is the second brother's fault"
When Wen Anhao said this, Wen Anze also squatted down and hugged the two of them.
Although the eldest brother didn't speak, Wen An Anzhi said that he must have taken everything on himself.
As they often lulled her to sleep, he gently patted the backs of his two brothers until the warmth around his necks dried.
After the two stabilized their emotions, Wen Anan pulled out of their arms, and then ran a few steps away from them, shouting at the father and mother in the tent, Wen Anze and Wen Anhao: "I only said it once, I like my father and mother the most, eldest brother, second brother"
After shouting, seeing Xue Er turn around and walk towards his tent, Wen Anan put his hand on his mouth, made a trumpet shape, and also shouted at Xue Er's back: "I only said it once, I also like Uncle Xue the most, and I like it as much as my father, mother and brothers."
Wen An'an's shout made Xue Er, who was walking, stop in an instant, and stop there with a stiff back, and only after hearing Wen An'an's 'giggle' laughter, did he walk away in a panic. Because of the panic, he almost tripped on his left foot and fell to the ground with his right foot.
Looking at Uncle Xue's staggering back and listening to the louder and louder cries in the tent, Wen Anan smiled and cried with a smile.
Looking up at the starry night sky, Wen Anan shouted at them again: "I only said it once, I, Wen An'an, like my father, eldest brother, second brother and Uncle Xue the most."
This night was destined to be a sleepless night for their family.
However, Wen Anan felt that this night was indeed the best night in four years.
Because, tonight, she finally removed the abscesses and rotten flesh that had tormented the other five people for four years.
Although the wound is still there, she believes that over time, the pain will only become a faint scar. (To be continued......)
