Chapter 43: Xiao Ying's Past I
After the supply was good, Xiao Ying and Xiao Qi went offline, at this time Wang Yong should have gone out to buy vegetables, Xiao Ying took Xiao Qi to the kitchen, sure enough, this Wang Yong is also a person who eats the whole family is not hungry, so every day is to go out to eat fast food, this kitchen has not been touched for a long time, everything is a thick layer of ash, since you have to cook at home, of course this kitchen has to be cleaned up.
Pinching the soft flesh on the back of Xiao Qi's neck and lifting him out, Xiao Ying ignored Xiao Qi's cursed eyes, then lifted a bucket of water, put on gloves and began to clean the kitchen, Xiao Qi bit a lollipop and watched on the side, occasionally pointing fingers, and then was lifted out by Xiao Ying again, Xiao Qi had to watch TV to pass the time.
Waiting for the meal to be really done, it was already more than two hours later, and there were a lot of repetitive dishes on the table, no way, Xiao Ying would only make a few home-cooked dishes, and the style was just the quantity, but fortunately, the taste was not bad.
"Not bad! Sakurako, you kid still have two brushes for cooking, don't say anything else, at least you can eat! Wang Yong said while eating.
"Hmmm! It is true that there are two points of Uncle Ye's true biography, but there are only two points, and there can be no more, compared with Uncle Ye's craftsmanship, it is far behind. Xiao Qi also commented while eating.
"Who is that Uncle Ye?" Wang Yong was stunned for a moment, and then asked.
“……!” Xiao Qi just wanted to speak, but then he seemed to think of something, and began to cook again.
"It's the people who adopted me and Xiaoqi before! Xiaoqi and I owe them a lot! I don't know what happened to them now. Xiao Ying put down the dishes and chopsticks and said with some emotion.
Hearing this, Wang Yong didn't dare to ask more, because if he asked again, he should touch on the earlier things, Xiao Ying and Xiao Qi were abandoned by their parents, so Xiao Qi didn't want to mention more.
The next atmosphere was a little dull, Wang Yong and Xiao Qi were eating hard, Xiao Ying was thinking about something while eating, and occasionally there would be a look of nostalgia on his face.
"Xiaoyou! Uncle Ye! Are you all right? The shadows of a few people flashed in Xiao Ying's mind, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
After eating, he began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Wang Yong pushed Xiao Ying out, saying that he would take care of the grocery shopping and washing dishes in the future, Xiao Ying only had to cook, Xiao Ying shrugged and could only accept it helplessly, and then went back to rest with Xiao Qi in his arms.
That night, Xiao Ying and the others did not use cultivation to replace sleep, but slept steadily, but it seemed that there was a nightmare entangled with Xiao Ying, and Xiao Ying dreamed of the last thing he wanted to dream about that night.
When Xiao Ying opened his eyes, he appeared in a single delivery room with plenty of light and white and plain all around, he could see and hear, but he couldn't say or move, but because this was not the first time this kind of thing had happened, after trying it, Xiao Ying gave up and quietly watched the next storyline development The clear "movie picture" he already knew.
A gentle woman with a faint smile on her face looked at Xiao Ying in swaddling clothes, teasing him from time to time, Xiao Ying also stretched out her hand from time to time, or giggled in response to the woman, and it didn't take long for a middle-aged man to walk in with a child more than a year old.
"Brother Tian! There you are! The woman looked at the middle-aged man, her face full of joy.
"Ahh Sorry, it's late, I'll go back and bring Xiaoqi here, so that he can also see his own brother! "That middle-aged man is Xiao Ying's father, even if Xiao Ying doesn't admit it, at least in terms of blood, that woman is Xiao Ying's mother, Liu Mei.
"Ah, yes! Xiaoqi, come and have a look! This is your younger brother, your own brother, you are the closest people in the world, you must care for each other in the future, no quarrels, no contradictions, do you hear? Liu Mei touched the head of Xiao Qi, who was only more than a year old at the time and was wearing thick clothes, and anyone could hear the love between the words.
"Me! Look! Let's, I, look! Xiao Qi said that he couldn't understand Liu Mei's words, but maybe it was because of the blood connection, so Xiao Qi was quite interested in Xiao Ying, who was still in swaddling clothes, and struggled to get closer to Xiao Ying in Xiao Tian's arms, Xiao Tian had no choice but to hold Xiao Qi next to Xiao Ying.
Looking at Xiao Ying who was close at hand, Xiao Qi stretched out a finger that was whirring and kept rubbing it on Xiao Ying's face, and he giggled in his mouth: "Brother! Haha, I have a younger brother! Dear brother! ”
Maybe Xiao Ying felt a little uncomfortable, or didn't like Xiao Qi's caress for him, Xiao Ying, who was still in swaddling clothes, began to cry.
"Oh! My brother doesn't cry! Brother is here! My brother doesn't cry! Xiao Qi on the side was a little panicked, and hurriedly comforted the young Xiao Ying, but it didn't work at all, Xiao Ying cried even more, while Liu Mei and Xiao Tian on the side laughed, Xiao Qi was a little confused, he didn't know why his parents were laughing.
In the first year, Xiao Qi's dwarfism had not yet been discovered, but in the second year, Xiao Tian and his wife found that something was wrong, originally they thought that Xiao Qi was just developing slowly, but seeing that Xiao Ying, who was one year younger than Xiao Qi, was a little taller than Xiao Qi, Xiao Tian and his wife gradually noticed that something was wrong.
Not only is Xiaoqi not developing, but also because Xiaoqi has been weak and sickly since he was a child, as time goes by, Xiaoqi's immunity has not improved in the slightest, but is more like it has been declining, sometimes a gust of wind may make Xiaoqi catch a cold, which may be an exaggeration, but it is enough to explain its seriousness.
When Xiao Tian and his wife took Xiao Qi to the hospital for an examination, Xiao Qi's dwarfism was discovered, and at that time Xiao Tian and his wife knew that it was not that Xiao Qi was slow to develop, but that he would not develop, and he would not grow up all his life.
At first, Xiao Tian and his wife just comforted themselves, Xiao Qi didn't care if he didn't grow up, Xiao Ying was still normal, as long as Xiao Ying was cultivated well, then even if the two of them were old and dead, Xiao Ying could take care of his brother, who would never grow up, but things were far from being as beautiful as they imagined.
In the following years, Xiao Qi fell ill frequently, and the hospitalization and medical expenses were several thousand yuan per month, Xiao Tian himself is a master of economics, although he did not go to work, but he has been doing some small investment and stock business, so even if Liu Mei concentrates on being a housewife at home, the family economy is only supported by Xiao Tian alone, and the whole family also has small savings, a car and a house.
It's just that Xiao Qi has been sick, and the family's savings have to be used to treat Xiao Qi and support the family's expenses, so basically they can't make much money, but they can barely survive, so Xiao Tian and they haven't started to pay attention yet.
It's just that as Xiao Ying gradually expands, the relationship between him and Xiao Qi begins to reverse, at the beginning, Xiao Ying is very protective of his brother who doesn't grow up, when he first took Xiao Qi out to play with other children, when he was ridiculed by others for the first time, when Xiao Qi was ridiculed as a dwarf for the first time, Xiao Qi could feel a hot liquid on Xiao Ying's face dripping down Xiao Ying's cheeks on Xiao Qi's forehead.
Since then, Xiao Ying has changed, he knows what illness Xiao Qi has, and he also knows why when he takes Xiao Qi out, even if they don't do anything, other children will laugh at them and bully them, this situation has developed until Xiao Ying goes to elementary school, and Xiao Qi stays at home and is taken care of by Liu Mei, and other children will also bully Xiao Ying.
Xiao Ying began to become reticent, whether it was going out to the toilet during recess, only to find that his desk was scribbled, or the drawer was stuffed with garbage, or the stool was thrown into the trash, Xiao Ying could accept it calmly, and then clean up without saying a word and continue studying.
But human patience does have a limit, when one Sunday afternoon, Xiao Ying, who had finished his homework, was basking in the sun at the door of his house with Xiao Qi in his arms, but was suddenly thrown stones by a group of bear children, Xiao Ying felt that he couldn't bear it anymore.
Also unbearable is Xiao Qi, when Xiao Ying turned his back and let his back empty to those bear children, but carefully protected him in his arms, Xiao Qi's little fist clenched tightly, he hated in his heart, hated those bear children who bullied them, and hated himself, why was he his elder brother, but he wanted Xiao Ying's younger brother to protect him.
"Why! Why I never grew up, why can't I protect my brother! The stones were all carried down by Xiao Ying alone, Xiao Ying did not cry out in pain, nor did he shed a single tear, but the protected Xiao Qi cried, which was a kind of emotional release and outburst.
When Liu Mei noticed the noise at the door and rushed over, and then drove those bear children away and pulled Xiao Ying back to rub the medicine, Xiao Ying also broke out.
"Those kids are so rude, how can they bully people? Really, I'll take you to ask them to apologize tomorrow! Shrewd! It doesn't hurt! When Liu Mei took out the medicine box and chattered while applying medicine to Xiao Ying, Xiao Ying finally broke out, and opened Liu Mei's hand, Liu Mei and Xiao Qi were stunned.
"I hate my brother!" Xiao Ying suddenly said word by word, and then ran back to the room without looking back, locked the door and got into the quilt, and began to cover his head and cry, this situation continued until Xiao Tian came home, and the husband and wife persuaded for half an hour before Xiao Ying came out for dinner, but Xiao Ying never hugged Xiao Qi again.
In fact, Xiao Ying herself didn't know why she was targeting Xiao Qi, because she didn't dare to be angry at those who bullied them? Because he only dares to be angry with his own family? Anyway, Xiao Ying and Xiao Qi have been strangers for the next period of time, even if Xiao Qi wants to reconcile and ease the relationship between the two, Xiao Ying will deliberately avoid it, in this regard, Xiao Tian and Liu Mei have also talked to Xiao Ying a few times, but it has no effect.
During this time, Xiao Qi has been very confused and aggrieved, he doesn't know what he did wrong, why do others bully him, even his own brother hates him? What exactly did he do wrong?
"Brother, I'm sorry! I'm sorry for you! You're right! There's nothing wrong with you there! It's me who is wrong! It was me who was wrong! I shouldn't have done that to you, I'm sorry brother! Xiao Ying couldn't change anything, he could only see him hurt Xiao Qi when he was young again, Xiao Ying pulled his hair, his expression was painful, but he couldn't do anything.
And the young Xiao Ying thought that this situation would last for a long time, but in fact, it was not long, it was only two months, but in these two months, Xiao Qi lived more than ordinary two years, twenty years are longer.
The two got together because of an opportunity, but because of this opportunity, they could only rely on each other.
One night, Xiao Ying couldn't sleep in his room, and when he was about to get up to drink water, he passed by the room of Xiao Tian and his wife, and Xiao Ying found that the door there was not closed, and there was light in the crack of the door, and there was a conversation between the two.
"What do those friends of yours say?" This is the voice of Liu Mei.
"They all say that there is no cure! The doctor they recommended to me also said, give me a professional advice......" Xiao Tian said with some slurring.
"What advice?" Although Liu Mei asked like this, she also knew what the suggestion was.
"Give up Xiaoqi!" When Xiao Tian said this, he closed his eyes, thinking that he was also unwilling.
"Impossible!" Liu Mei first raised his voice and shouted out this sentence like a scream, and then probably afraid that Xiao Ying and Xiao Qi would hear it, and then lowered his voice.
"He's our child, he, like Xiao Ying, is our child! He is Xiao Ying's own brother! How can you bear to ....... Liu Mei covered her mouth, lowered her voice and cried, how desolate and desolate it would be.
"I don't want to give up Xiaoqi either, but the current situation makes us have to do this, we have to train Xiao Ying well, don't discard Xiaoqi, we don't even have the money to study for Xiao Ying, we can sell cars and sell others in the six years of primary school, and we can sell houses in the six years of middle school, but what about the university? At that time, we were already surrounded by four walls, and after four years of college, the two of us couldn't afford to sell our kidneys! Xiao Tian also had tears in his eyes, Xiao Qi was frail and sickly, the attributes of the medicine jar, eating money was like a bottomless pit, and they could only afford one.
Is it to raise Xiao Qi, who will never grow up, or Xiao Ying, a normal person, I think everyone knows very well that someone once proposed that people with defects in all senses cannot have children, because the children born are also very likely to have defects, and the definition of this defect is very interesting, not only physical defects, appearance, IQ, etc.
I still don't agree with this, but you may not know that even if a normal child is born with a defect, the hospital will persuade the parents to let them give up the child, and then give them a certificate that they can have a second child, and the defective child, the hospital is willing to deal with it on its behalf, as for how to deal with it, I don't want to say more, so now it is proposed that it is better to check before giving birth to a child, and the defective one will be aborted first, which is better than being treated by the hospital after birth.
But what, excellent talents are better cultivated, and poor people can only get unfair treatment, everyone must have had similar experiences, at this time, put yourself in the shoes of Xiao Tian and his wife and think about it, maybe everyone will come to the same conclusion.
Although Xiao Ying was still young at the time, he probably understood what his parents were going to do, he stood a little overwhelmed for a while, and then tiptoed back, when he was lying on the bed, Xiao Ying's brain was a mess, although he said that he hated him because he was affected by Xiao Qi, but really wanted his parents to lose Xiao Qi, and he would never see him again?
The young Xiao Ying never thought about it.
When Xiao Ying finished a semester at that time, Xiao Tian and his wife suddenly decided to sell their cars and houses, and then bought train tickets to southern cities.
"Is it really going to bring us all here?" Xiao Ying was worried when he heard the news, could it be that he was alone?
The sale of the house and car was completed quickly, as long as Xiao Ying finally finished the final exam, the family could leave, Xiao Ying did not have the slightest rejection of the matter of transferring schools, anyway, he was not very familiar with the people in the class, but Xiao Ying had been very uneasy.
When the family rushed to the waiting hall of the train station with large bags and small bags, Xiao Ying's uneasiness became more and more intense, and finally, two minutes before the train departed, Xiao Tian's face was a little stiff Xiao Qi put down, during which Liu Mei also pulled Xiao Tian a little, but Liu Mei's hand was pulled away by Xiao Tian very strongly.
"Xiaoqi! Your mom and I, and your brother and I went to the supermarket here to see what delicious snacks there were, and then bought them and we ate them on the train, okay? Xiao Tian reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said to Xiao Qi.
"Good!" The naïve Xiao Qi didn't find anything wrong, at this time he was still thinking that he would stay on the train, if he gave all the snacks to Xiao Ying, Xiao Ying would not get along with him.
"Good! Then you just stay here and don't move, okay? Xiao Tian touched Xiao Qi's head, his eyes were full of reluctance, and then he gritted his teeth, took all the luggage, pulled Liu Mei with one hand, and Xiao Ying with the other, almost dragged the two of them away by dragging, and now Xiao Ying remembers how painful his wrist was grabbed by Xiao Tian at that time, and then the young Xiao Ying also glanced back at Xiao Qi, he knew very well what would happen to Xiao Qi if they didn't go shopping and didn't come back.
When the naïve Xiao Qi looked back at Xiao Ying, he smirked and waved at him, at that moment, Xiao Ying felt that something was broken in his heart, and then he did something that made him feel fortunate to this day.
Xiao Tian didn't pull him to the supermarket to buy snacks after all, three people in a family of four came to the train like this, and when they checked the tickets before driving, Xiao Tian took out three tickets, and from the beginning, Xiao Tian made a decision.
Xiao Ying, who was sitting on the side, looked numb and expressionless, he already knew that it would be like this in the end, the train at that time was different from the current train, it was an old green train at that time, the window could be opened, when the radio sounded and the train was about to leave, Xiao Ying suddenly stood up and sat on the table in the middle, very close to the window.
"Xiao Ying, be careful, don't fall!" Xiao Tian and his wife were also very upset in their hearts now, and they didn't want to care about him, so Liu Mei just said a word, and then rubbed his temples with both hands, closing his eyes and not knowing what he was thinking.
"Good!" Xiao Ying replied a little weakly, and then kept looking out of the car, Xiao Tian only thought that he was looking at the scenery outside the window, and ignored him.
Soon, the train started, the speed was very slow at the beginning, no one went fast, Xiao Ying was also very nervous at this time, it was still early, if you acted at this time, the train could still stop, and you had to wait, and when the speed of the train gradually increased, it was about the same as the speed of people running with all their might, Xiao Ying acted.
"Success! Be sure to succeed! Can't fail! Xiao Ying, who has dreamed of this scene I don't know how many times, is so engaged every time he sees it, at this time, his sleeping body in reality involuntarily clenched his fists, and kept muttering in a low voice.
Just when Xiao Tian and Liu Mei were defenseless, the young Xiao Ying jumped out of the car window, and when Xiao Tian and Liu Mei realized that they were about to pull Xiao Ying, it was already too late, Xiao Ying's body rolled on the ground a few times, and after he got up, Xiao Ying's face, hands, and legs were all bruised, and they were all bleeding, but Xiao Ying didn't care about wiping it, and quickly stood up, ignoring the surprised eyes and cries of other people around him, and ran towards the waiting hall.
"You have to be there! Don't be taken away by human traffickers! Xiao Ying prayed while running, ignoring Xiao Tian and Liu Mei behind him poked their heads out and called him loudly, there are a lot of traffickers at the train station, Xiao Qi has this disease again, and he has no power to resist, Xiao Ying is now most afraid that he will finally escape and go back to him, but Xiao Qi has been abducted by human traffickers.
"Little Shadow! You're back! You're back, little shadow! Mom promises that neither you nor Xiaoqi will give up! You're back! Liu Mei shouted for a while and then sat on the seat and cried, leaving Xiao Tian alone still shouting in vain, at this time the conductor heard the sound and came over.
"Huh! What are you doing? Now that the train has started, you still stick your head out, do you know that it is dangerous? Are you still kids? The conductor walked over and looked at the scene in front of him, frowning and exclaiming.
"Kid! Our little one just jumped out! Stop! Stop! Liu Mei, who kept crying, seemed to have thought of a solution, and suddenly grabbed the conductor and shook it.
"What do you say! Do you just stop the train? If there is anything, go to the duty room with us first to explain the situation, and we will help you as appropriate, so as not to interfere with other passengers here. The conductor wasted a lot of effort to get rid of Liu Mei's hand, and then frowned and said.
