Chapter 3: Fleeing Home

As soon as she entered the house, Xiuxiu hurriedly closed the door, but her heart was still beating suddenly, and she was in shock. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Something big happened, how could she not be frightened or afraid?

The mother had already prepared the meal and was waiting for her to come back to eat, and when she saw that she was running back from outside in a frightened state and closed the door, she hurried over from the kitchen and asked with concern, "Baby, what's wrong?" ”

She didn't speak, she covered her face with her hands and began to cry. Her mother walked up to her and asked, "What happened?" She just said, "I'm leaving, I can't stay here." And as he spoke, he began to cry. When her mother saw that she didn't speak, but was crying, she called her father over.

When her father saw her sitting on the edge of his bed crying vigorously and not speaking, he became anxious and shouted, "What's the matter, what do you say, why are you crying?" While wiping away tears from her eyes, her mother kept asking, "What is going on, you speak?" ”

Xiuxiu was forced to ask by her parents and cried for a while before she told the deputy township chief Chang that he fell into the river and was swept away by the flood. As soon as the parents heard this, they were like dead people in the family, and they didn't say a word for a long time with sad faces.

Seeing the appearance of her parents, Xiuxiu repeatedly explained, "At that time, I just wanted to get rid of him, and I didn't mean to. But the father was furious and said, "Then you can't push him into the river." Xiuxiu timidly explained again, "I didn't push him, he pulled me alive and wrapped around me, I couldn't help it, so I pumped my arm, he didn't stand firm and fell into the river." ”

But her father didn't listen to her explanation, and gritted his teeth and said, "You won't cling to him first, wait until you cross the river and then turn your face with him?" You're not a child, so you don't have an eye for anything? In a word, Xiuxiu didn't dare to reply anymore. In fact, if she knew that this was the result, let alone rely on him first, or let him sleep again, she would be willing. However, the matter is irreparable.

Xiuxiu and her mother waited for her father to make an idea, but her father kept his head down, kept smoking paper cigarettes, cried and saddened, and kept scolding, "Be evil, this is not to force me to death!" If this happens, how can we go down in the future! ”

Seeing that her father would only scratch her head and sigh, she couldn't come up with a serious idea for a long time, so she pleaded and said, "Xiu her father, things have become like this, no matter how much you say, it's useless, you quickly think of a way, take an idea, and get Xiuxiu outside to hide." ”

When my father heard this, he pleaded, "Where can you hide, my ancestors?" That Xiaobao from Li Village killed his daughter-in-law and ran to Shanxi, but didn't he get him back alive? Now that the police have solved the case, they have issued orders to all places, and there are rewards, and you can be arrested wherever you go, unless you go to a foreign country. ”

The mother couldn't help but sigh, but she still said, "Then you can't let Xiuxiu stay at home like this, waiting for the police to arrest her?" The father held his head, sat on the small stool in front of the mother and daughter, and smoked several cigarettes in a row before saying, "Well, when it gets dark, I will take Xiuxiu to her cousin's house." I heard that her cousin's son Zhixian is in Xujiawan, a northern suburb of Xi'an, where there are many people and complicated, but fortunately it is a good place to go. As soon as her mother heard this, she immediately said, "Then let Xiuxiu hide from her cousin." As he spoke, he didn't care about eating, and began to pack up for Xiuxiu.

Dinner was noodles, and the noodles were hand-rolled, thin and long, and served in a large bowl, which had already been placed on the small table one by one. There was also a small plate of spicy peppers, a small pot of vinegar and a small pot of soy sauce on the table. This is the most frequent and common meal for local farmers. However, the noodles were already cold on the table, sticking together, and the spicy seeds and seasonings were no longer mixed evenly, so it was no longer a piece of noodles, but a piece of dough, and the taste and feeling were far from good.

Father sat at the small table and snorted and ate, but Xiuxiu held the bowl with tears in her eyes, and she couldn't swallow it after chewing it for a long time. After his father finished eating and smoking a cigarette, Xiuxiu only ate a few bites of rice in Xiuxiu's bowl.

The packing was packed, and the mother came out of the back room with a large travel bag. Xiuxiu saw that her father had finished eating, and was waiting for her while smoking a cigarette, so she simply threw the bowl of rice on the table, stopped eating, and prepared to follow her father out.

Before leaving, Xiuxiu remembered that the 10,000 yuan sent by Pengwa was still in her trouser pocket, so she took it out and returned it to her mother, saying, "Mom, you can return the money to others." However, her mother stuffed the money in her hand intact, and said, "Baby, if you leave, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back in this life, and your parents won't be able to control you." Take the money and spend it slowly on the road. ”

But Xiuxiu said, "Mom, it was not easy for you and my father to raise me, and now that I am gone, I will not be able to take care of you in the future, so I should leave this money for you to support your old age." As he spoke, he insisted on returning the money to his mother. When my father saw the mother and daughter, he was irritable when you pushed me, and said sharply, "What are you pushing?" When people go out, everything depends on money, we are in the mountains of this township, we just need to have food to eat and clothes to wear, and we can live with or without money. ”

When her mother saw that her father had spoken, she didn't allow Xiuxiu to say more, so she stuffed the 10,000 yuan to Xiuxiu. Then, he said to Xiuxiu, "There are many thieves in the city, don't let the thieves steal it." As he spoke, he sewed a cloth bag out of waste cloth, put the money in the cloth bag, and tied it around Xiuxiu's waist. It looks like you're pregnant with a baby, but it doesn't make you steal the money.

By the time I got ready to pack, it was already dark. Because it was a rainy day, there were no stars and no moon, and there was no electricity, so as soon as it was dark, people went to bed early.

The father said to Xiuxiu, "Let's go." Xiuxiu said to her mother, "Mom, I'm leaving, you and my dad should take care of yourself in the future." Although it was a trip to hide, I didn't know when I would come back, so my mother said, "Baby, you have to give birth outside, so don't worry about your parents." With that, the mother and daughter hugged each other tightly like a parting of life and death, and reluctantly whispered.

But when my father saw that it was late, he said impatiently, "It's not an execution ground, why are you so wordy?" With that, he picked up his travel bag and went out the door. Xiuxiu saw that her father was already on the road, and said a few more words to her mother, so she went out with a leather bag.

Because they were out to hide, they were afraid that it would be bad for the people in the village to see them, so the father and daughter walked silently, as if they were thieves. There are not many houses in the village, and the houses are built in a scattered plot along a walk-behind tractor path. They followed the path until they reached the entrance of the village, and they were relieved.
