Forty-nine Where are the people?
"Woo woo" Wang Miao's mind was blank, but he could hear Zhao's mother's shout, how could she feel better than Jiang Wanqing in her heart? Endless tears wet his sleeves, and his face was covered with red scratches from his sleeves wiping his tears.
Zhao Xiu was lying on the bed, immersed in his dream, in which he seemed to hear a cry.
Spring is supposed to be a vibrant scene. The flowers in the flower garden in the courtyard are in full bloom, and all kinds of flowers are covered with the entire flower garden, and the wonderful fragrance is mixed in the air and spreads everywhere, gradually burrowing into Zhao Xiu's nose.
Zhao Xiu sat under a tree in the yard, which was a locust tree. The blooming flowers hung over his head, as if protecting the young body under the tree.
He sat quietly in a brown wooden wheelchair with a thick cotton blanket in front of him, covering his injured left leg.
Zhao Xiu looked at the spring scenery in the garden, and a rare smile appeared on his face. He hadn't laughed in a month, and if the doctor hadn't allowed him to come out to breathe, he would still be lying in his room at this time.
Suddenly, Zhao Xiu smelled a special aroma, the fragrance was mixed with the smell of jasmine and the woman's body, and he raised his head to look in the direction where the fragrance came from. I saw a young girl who came with a beautiful appearance, looking very gentle and beautiful from a distance, he was carrying a group of tulle Qiluo, his posture was graceful, and his long black hair was as smooth as a waterfall, and as soft as silk. Loosely pulled up the green silk and inserted the pearl hairpin obliquely, and the silver tassel hung on the hairpin, shining like a star string. Her eyes are ethereal, her lips are like cherry blossoms, pure and innocent.
The girl was about eleven or twelve years old, with a smile like a flower on her face, and ran towards Zhao Xiu, who was sitting in a chair.
Zhao Xiu also showed the same smile as the girl, "Why are you here again?" ”
When the girl heard Zhao Xiu say that the unique nickname between the two, not only was she not angry, but her heart was beautiful.
"I'm going to marry you. Aunt Jiang and my mother are in the front hall to set up our marriage. Zhao Xiu looked at the girl's immature face, and couldn't help but feel much better. But what the girl said made Zhao Xiu feel embarrassed, although it has become the norm for twelve-year-old women to marry, but he himself can't get over the hurdle in his heart.
He knew that he should have a home in this world, even though he had just lost one.
Zhao Xiu sat on the chair and moved his body, and said helplessly: "But you are still a child, have you ever thought about getting married?"
The girl leaned forward again, holding Zhao Xiu's hand with her slender and thin palm. It's like a couple reunited after a long absence.
Zhao Xiu's hands were cold, just like his heart. He felt the temperature of the girl's palm, and felt that he also had a warm feeling in his heart.
Thirteen-year-old Zhao Xiu still looks like a young child, and his weak body is that he sits on a quaint wooden chair. A spring breeze blew, and Zhao Xiu's face became even paler.
Zhao Xiu broke free from the girl's hands a little unnaturally, and subconsciously touched his left abdomen, which was empty under the black robe, and he still only touched the empty fabric. His face turned even paler, and having lost his left leg, he had clearly not yet crawled out of the abyss of loss.
Zhao Xiu lowered his head and said with a wry smile: "I have no left leg, and I may sit on a chair and be taken care of for the rest of my life in the future." In the future, I will no longer be able to run around with you, I will not be able to cause trouble with you, and I will not be able to give you good things for fun. Do you still want to marry me? You should think about it when you're young, and I'll talk about it to my mother. ”
The girl slowly raised her two hands upward, wanting to hook Zhao Xiu's face, but Zhao Xiu has always been a big brother-like existence, and she didn't dare. Two hands slowly caressed Zhao Xiu's cheeks, he did not resist, but chose to accept.
The girl's eyes changed, and it was a gentle look like water. "I want to stay by your side and take care of you for the rest of my life, I have thought it through, I just want to marry you, even if you can no longer run around with me." The girl's words were very firm, as if she had decided in her heart.
The smile on Zhao Xiu's face gradually solidified, and he slowly pulled down his face. His heart hurts enough, he doesn't want others to suffer with him, not to mention that his life is in jeopardy, and it is a problem to live. If the girl in front of him followed him, he couldn't even guarantee his own life and death, and what could he do to guarantee his life and death. It's a complete quagmire, he's stuck in it, he can't extricate himself, he can't let more people fall into it.
Zhao Xiu grabbed the girl's wrist, took down the jade hand on her face, and said with a straight face: "I don't need anyone to take care of me, let alone you." You really think I'm a waste, don't you? I had a broken leg, but I still had a hand, and I could still be alive on my own. I don't care about your pity, your presence seems to remind me all the time that I am a cripple. Zhao Xiu shook off the girl's hand violently, ignored her, and slowly closed her eyes.
"No, I didn't mean that, I didn't say you were a wreck. No, it's not. The girl didn't know how to explain, and the more she spoke, the more she couldn't understand, and her tears were about to fall.
Zhao Xiu heard the girl's cry, opened her eyes, and said with a disgusted face: "Can you take away your tears that don't need money?" From childhood to adulthood, you cry whenever something happens, and your tears are really worthless. I'm really fed up, the most annoying people crying in front of me, you better get out, get out of my sight! ”
The girl was chilled by Zhao Xiu's words, and she was about to lose sight of the young man in front of her. Is he still the lively and active teenager he used to be? Where did that sunshine, kind brother go? The girl questioned herself sadly.
"Enough!" A woman's voice came from behind Zhao Xiu, this woman was about thirty years old, and she was Zhao Xiu's mother. Sorrow was written on her tired face, and her once-radiant eyes had lost their lustre.
Mother Zhao heard what Zhao Xiu deliberately said to the girl, and scolded angrily: "You don't need someone to take care of you? So why are you in a wheelchair now? You're not a waste? Then why don't you go to the main hall and deal with those bastards for me. The whole Liaozhou and even the whole Tianwu are looking at the jokes of you and my mother and son, and want to see how you and my mother and son died. You don't want to deal with it, but you're being tough on Miao'er here, what are you? Yes? ”
Zhao's mother's words pierced Zhao Xiu's heart, defeating the last trace of camouflage in Zhao Xiu's heart. The cotton blanket covering his legs couldn't hide the shaking of his body, and he trembled with anger. He was not angry with his mother, but angry with himself.
Zhao Xiu didn't speak, but gritted his teeth, held the chair handle tightly with both hands, and struggled to support his upper body, trying to support his body with his only remaining right leg. He wanted to prove that he could stand up on his own!
