Chapter 31: Fate
The meal was quickly served, and the three of them sat down at the table, ready to move the chopsticks.
"You're doing a good job." The shopkeeper said, eat first.
"It's just that the heat is bigger, and it's scorched." The shopkeeper tried the other dishes, "The others are pretty much the same." ”
"Let's eat, I can still eat a little burnt." Lu Shan said.
"Lu Moumou."
"Don't set it off when I cook in the future." Lu Shan continued.
"I don't like to cook too much, and I don't have to eat, so I'll leave the cooking to you." The shopkeeper said, looking at Bai Youran.
She lowered her head, only the sound just now made people think that she was still there, but Lu Shan didn't seem to hear it.
"Then eat, eat quickly, the food will not taste good if it is cold." Lu Shan greeted.
"Lu Moumou!" Bai Youran's voice was a little louder.
The hippie smile on Lu Shan's face disappeared, "What's the matter?" ”
"I didn't ...... Yes. Her head pressed lower.
The shopkeeper watched from the sidelines, and he already knew in his heart that this Lu Shan was a catastrophe for Bai Youran, and she couldn't get by, it was up to her.
The cold wind outside the house poured into the house, and the wind blew into Lu Shan's sleeves, making him feel cold, there was a period of time, and it was also so cold.
It was a winter, and the runaway children were homeless.
He was dressed in thin clothes, and the only thing he carried on him was a wallet he had stolen from home.
Originally, he didn't want to escape, but if he had a normal family, he wouldn't escape even if his family beat and scolded him.
However, his parents are both crazy, and they usually don't get sick and do nothing, and when they start getting sick, they are completely two people.
As a young man, he was tired of being hurt by his parents, so he decided to run away.
On the night he left, he saw his mother watching him from the windowsill, and he must have seen him, but why didn't she come out to look for him.
In the days that followed, he seemed to understand something about what parents don't want their children to be good, even though they may not behave well.
But when it comes to the moment of truth, they will make the most correct choice.
That's what he was thinking, maybe the mother didn't want to drag him down, or maybe she wanted the child to fly away like a bird.
This is a broken family, and his parents have been suffering from illness all year round, and it seems that their family is like this, except that he is an exception, and he is less ill than the others.
Their family was cursed, and his parents wanted him to leave the house and escape this tragic fate.
Later, Xiao Lushan found a bottle in the bag, and he knew that it was their family's ancestral thing, and it should have been stuffed to him by his father.
This is an open-faced escape, the parents know that the child is leaving, but they do not stop the child, and give the most precious thing to the child.
The legend of their family, Xiao Lushan heard his father tell it.
took the train all the way to a strange place, and he was stunned as soon as he got off the train.
For the first time, he knew how big the world was, and when he stepped out of the house, it was full of strange places and strange people.
I finally followed the crowd out of the train station and came to the front of the road outside.
There were a lot of people around him who accosted him.
Kids, where are you going?
Uncle's house has candy and toys, come with me.
Kid, why is it alone, your parents?
He just stood at a distance and didn't say a word.
He doesn't know where to go, and he's not interested in sugar and toys because he doesn't know what toys are.
It's a world, a world that's not really good, and he knows which of these people are bad and which are good.
He was born sensible earlier than others, but it was not without a price, although there was also a time for innocence, but the darkness encountered in his childhood was even more stinging.
Xiao Lushan looked for an opportunity to blend in with the crowd, but in the end, one person caught up.
Where are the children, come home with me, I treat you as my own child.
He knew he couldn't run, so he pretended to agree.
Sure enough, he had toys and candy in his house.
However, these were his dead children before.
There is a woman in this family who has been crying for many years, and the uncle has never annoyed her, and will patiently wipe her tears every time.
You see, we have children, we have children.
When the woman saw me, she hugged me, tears soothing my shoulders.
The young Lu Shan was suddenly a little scared, afraid that this woman would be the same as her parents.
He suddenly wanted to go home, and his parents, after losing him, would be so sad.
From today onwards, that's our kid, and I'll give you the best toys for you to read
The new parents' family is really ordinary, and they can basically keep food and clothing, but there are relatives on the new parents' side.
Whether it's on my father's side or my mother's side.
In the past, only my mother had relatives on my side, and my father had a single line.
After that, he grew up, and he did everything that his new father promised.
Although he didn't really like to play with toys, he bought them for him anyway.
Although the family is more nervous, there is still a place for him to study.
His grades are not very good, and he can even be regarded as the bottom, and he can actually understand the knowledge, but he can't understand why he is doing those questions.
Maybe that's the rule of this society.
His parents did not blame him for his grades, and even thought that it was good for their children to go to high school.
According to his father's words, the child is in high school, the grandson is in college, and the great-grandson is at least a doctor.
Although everything was his imagination, Lu Shan felt that it was better to let him go.
And at this age, a certain thought in his heart awakened again, he wanted to go, he wanted to fly to a wider place.
More than once he fantasized like this, but he was afraid that his parents would be sad, so he always endured it.
One day, he finally couldn't help it, he still told his parents about it, he wanted to go, he thought of other places, he couldn't seem to stay in one place for too long
The father was silent for a long time, and said that he would follow him in everything.
Lu Shan felt impossible, all his father's connections were here, and it was impossible to leave here.
Went somewhere else, did you work as a coolie at a great age?
Her mother was also silent, but now she was no longer the sad woman she was more than ten years ago.
She is now a qualified mother, and she has also learned to let go of a child.
Eventually, they let Lu Shan decide where he wanted to go, but on one condition, he had to call them once a month.
If he doesn't fight, they do.
Lu Shan was very happy, he felt that he had grown wings.
He came to a strange town, where the architecture is somewhat quaint, and it is a water town.
When he first came here, he realized that he didn't know a lot of things.
Like buying daily necessities and finding a place to live, he can't.
After that, he finally settled down with a bump, but he was a little sick to his stomach after eating fast food every day.
He bought some things himself and tried to make them, but because he was too afraid that the things would not be cooked, the dishes would burnt every time.
Later, with the help of my sister who lives next door, I learned to cook.
You, don't be afraid of not being familiar, you have to learn to open your mind, do you understand?
Lu Shan shook his head.
Forget it, when I didn't say, how did you come here alone as a child.
I'm fifteen years old, and I'm already an adult.
Okay, little adult, you should go to school at this age, and you should communicate with other people more if you don't go.
My sister was obviously afraid that he would be autistic.
Lu Shan shook his head, I don't want to talk to them, in fact, Lu Shan just thinks it's boring to talk to them.
It's over, I'm autistic, my sister patted her forehead and said.
No, I'm very good, Lu Shan himself feels the same, he feels that he is much more sober than others.
Some people don't even know what they're saying.
Although Lu Shan didn't talk much, what he said was what he wanted to say.
Okay, you are so young, you dare to live alone, I still admire it.
Lu Shan smiled, he felt that he had grown up a little, at least in the eyes of others.
A person's life is monotonous, but it is also quiet, Lu Shan likes to be quiet since he was a child, because he knows that people in silence are sober.
On this day, Lu Shan walked by the river as usual and saw a girl crying on the bridge.
Lu Shan was frightened stupid at that time, he often heard the old people in the neighborhood say that a person had drowned here, and the ghost would come out and howl every night.
Of course, this is just a lie made up by the old people who are worried that their children will cross the bridge in the dark at night and accidentally fall into the river.
But for a moment, Lu Shan thought of this, and he thought that the girl crying on the bridge might be the one who drowned.
Why do you go to work during the day, although Lu Shan does some work, he does it on time.
He slowly approached the girl and patted her on the shoulder.
Hey!
As a result, the girl was so frightened that she jumped into the river.
It was not easy to rescue her, but fortunately, the river was not too deep.
What are you doing.
The soaking wet girl couldn't stop crying.
I'm ...... Actually, I was careless, and I didn't expect you to fall.
Lu Shan really didn't expect that a girl leaning on the bridge and on the side of the guardrail would be so frightened that she would fall into the river.
The girl looked at him fiercely, very angry, very angry.
After that, the girl dragged Lu Shan back to her house in order to explain to his family.
There are only fathers and daughters in this family, and the father looks very kind.
He has a disease, he can't be cured, and if he is not explained, he may become ill.
Lu Shan had never seen a daughter who said this about his father.
The father just smiled kindly, very kindly.
Suddenly, he stopped laughing.
How about your family?
Lu Shan didn't understand what he was talking about.
I'm afraid I'm sick again, the girl muttered, and pulled his father into the room.
The father broke free of his daughter's hand and asked again.
Does your family also have a strange disease that can't be cured?
Lu Shan knew that this was talking about his original parents, and he nodded.
It seems that you are the same people as us, we are a cursed people, and each generation has some incurable diseases, he said.
That thing is yours.
A bottle? In my hometown.
Lu Shan said.
Our ancestors made a deal with the demons and obtained the Elemental Bottle, a symbol of power, but our family also fell into a curse.
There is more than one elemental bottle, and there is more than one such family, and there are thousands of cursed people.
It seems that we are the same kind of people.
