Chapter 13: Father and Mother
"Wake up, don't sleep, little one." A soft, clear voice came, accompanied by a gentle shaking.
Xiao Yi's sleepy eyes were hazy, and he muttered inarticulately: "What's wrong?"
"Little one, come, wash your face first, sober up." The woman picked up the white cotton towel and gently hugged Xiao Yi with one hand, carefully and softly wiped Xiao Yi's face with the other hand, and whispered from time to time, "Good girl, Xiao Yi, you have slept for so long, haven't you slept comfortably?" ”
The cold water moistened Xiao Yi's face, and at this time, Xiao Yi finally opened his eyes, and what greeted him was a beautiful woman with a good face, fair and smooth skin, and a pair of big eyes like autumn water, with a cloudy head, and blurted out the question: "Are you?" ”
She was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Are you really sleepy?" Little one, I'm your mother."
Am I not in the cave with Xiaobai? What's going on?
"Little One, don't scare me," she asked worriedly, "Isn't something wrong with you again?" ”
"What's wrong?" A loud voice came, and then a tall man with a handsome face walked in.
"Hu, come and see, Xiao Yi doesn't remember us!" She eagerly pulled the man along.
"Xi Wu, don't panic." He comforted his wife, came to Xiao Yi, and carefully examined it.
Xiao Yi looked at the scene in front of him. Like a dream, his eyes were full of tears: "This... It's true? Father, mother? ”
"Of course it's true, kid." He shook Xiaoyi's hand, "Are you frightened and haven't gotten out of the shadows yet?" ”
Koichi nodded tearfully. The dream in her heart, the place she took care of well, is now a reality. Either way, she'd rather sink, just this once, just this moment. She was reluctant to ruin this beautiful dream that she had longed for but could never realize.
She hugged Xiao Yi tightly: "You really scared me to death." ”
The family of three hugged each other tightly, and it was particularly warm and touching at this sunset.
Dinner is very simple, one meat, one vegetable and one soup, three bowls of white rice.
Three people, three stools, a square wooden table, and a happy one.
"Come, eat more meat, now like a little bean sprout." The mother laughed and put a piece of meat in Xiaoyi's bowl.
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Come, mother, father, you also eat more." ”
"The younger one has grown up and knows how to feel sorry for people." My father sighed, "Your mother and I are going to grow old." ”
"Father, what are you talking about" Xiao Yi pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "Father, mother is so young, our family will live together for a long time!" ”
"Yes, what Xiao Yi said is right," said the mother, glaring at the father.
After the meal, the mother cleaned up the house, and the father helped by the side, and the little one went around the house.
The north-facing position makes the room very well lit, the left side of the main hall is two bedrooms, and the right side of the main hall is the kitchen, thatched house
The backyard is covered with bamboo, and a small study is hidden in it. In the front yard, vegetables are planted, flowers are planted, red, green and green alternately, and butterflies are dancing on it. A bamboo fence encloses the place, and two peach trees grow on either side of the main entrance, and the peach blossoms bloom pink and pink on the branches.
When I opened the door, I saw a meandering stream with clear water.
The air is fresh, the sky is blue, the scenery is picturesque, and there is a sense of clarity.
"Little One!"
Hearing his mother's call, Xiaoyi returned home.
The moonlight is just right, the family lifted out the stool, sat in the courtyard, admired the moon, tasted tea, ate melon seeds, listened to the father tell about today's experience, during which he burst into laughter from time to time, the people my father met was really wonderful! I don't know why, suddenly, Xiao Yi asked casually: "Why am I called Xiao Yi?" ”
"Isn't the little one bad? It's a simple one, and many people spend a lifetime not getting it! People, just to be simple, happy and happy, that's what's important! ”
"Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. All things are negative yin and embrace yang, and they are impulsive and peaceful. One is the beginning, the beginning, and the root. ”
"Okay, why are you talking about such a crepe?" The mother interrupted her father, "Actually, the main reason is that my family is the first child in the village to learn to write his own name!" After saying that, the mother let out a laugh like a cherry bell, her eyelashes trembled like rose petals, and gently covered her eyes, this laughter seemed to be contagious, and Xiaoyi laughed too, and finally his father laughed too.
The family's life was ordinary, but they were surrounded by happiness. Xiao Yi forgot the time, forgot the direction, forgot the reality.
One night, Xiao Yi was woken up by a pain in his wrist, sat on the bed, opened his eyes, and couldn't sleep again.
The next day, deep dark circles hung on her face, which made her mother worry for a while.
"I know, it's fake. But I'm still willing to indulge in it. However, what is fake is false after all. No matter how cruel the reality is, I will face it bravely! This period is my best memory. I will remember and will not forget jì. That's why I can't let go of those who killed my mother! The one who took away his father! Erase the person I could have had happiness with! I, the little one, swear here: I want them to pay for what I have lost in the future! ”
The mother held her father's arm tightly in confusion: "Xiaoyi, what are you talking about?" Don't you want us? ”
"Little One, what are you doing! You scared your mother! The father also rebuked him severely.
Xiao Yi's eyes were clear, and he took out his white tiger teeth and attacked forward, blood spilling all over the courtyard.
The mother was still confused, tears overflowing, crying: "Xiaoyi, do you really not want us..."
The father clung to the mother, fell to the ground together, and let out a final cry: "How can you be worthy of us, you rebel son who killed his mother and killed his father!" ”
A trace of fear filled Xiao Yi's heart, could it be this... Not a fantasy?! Xiao Yi trembled, his hands were stained with blood, and he kept saying, "Impossible... This can't be true... No..."
The darkness came and devoured her, the cry of my mother, the anger of my father, did I really kill my own parents with my own hands?!
This realization defeated Xiaoyi. She threw away her white tiger teeth, holding her head with both hands, remorseful, scared, terrified, and full of heart. What was originally just a spark of doubt has become a prairie fire.
The tide of darkness swept over Xiao Yi, and his mind became more and more blurred. At this time, there was a violent pain in the wrist, pulling Xiao Yi back, and in an instant, there was a clear feeling in her head, she regained her senses, picked up the white tiger tooth and stood up, and her tone was firm: "I want to leave!"
With that, she swung her white fangs to cut through the darkness, and she returned to the cave.
The Buddhist beads on her wrist exude brilliance, fortunately with the vigilance and help of this string of Buddhist beads, otherwise she may not be able to come out. Although at the beginning, she also clearly knew that she was in a fantasy world, but in the end she sank. Coveted that little tenderness, and almost lost his life.
