Chapter 35: Putting the Child to Sleep
Hearing him cry pitifully, and the words he said were even more pitiful, but the little Hu girl didn't want to break free, but sat down on the edge of the bed, turned her wrist and took the initiative to take the little boy's hand.
"Don't be afraid~ Mom won't leave," Miss Hu rubbed the little boy's head, turned her head and glared at the fat man outside the window, "Daddy, you come in and apologize, why did you hit the child?" β
Miss Hu's thoughts at the moment are: Yes, your child looks too weird, maybe he was disgusted by his parents and threw you away, right? It doesn't matter if this kid is a demon or a monster! Anyway, I'm not a normal person, the child is so pitiful, what's wrong with accompanying him?
Eh! Silly sister, if you don't run, why are you still a mother?! Oh my goodness! The fat man's face darkened, and he smiled awkwardly, "Ha, you guys play, Dad has something urgent to go out!" β
"Hey~ poor child," Miss Hu rubbed the child's head, "that's how your father abandoned you in the first place." β
The child cried: "Hmmmm~ That's how my father died!" β
The fat man just turned his head to leave, and when he heard this, he stood stiff againβmeaning that I would die if I left? But then again, if I don't leave, I won't die?
It's not to go, it's not to stay, the sword on his waist clanged, and the fat man lowered his head and patted the scabbard, "Yo, are you awake at this time?" What are you doing? β
The sword said, "Teach you to play some exciting games!" β
"How?"
"Pour the wine! Do you understand how to pour wine! One by one, they don't understand the rules! β
The fat man took out the wine and stuck it on the tip of the sword, "Say, what should I do now?" β
People have an Adam's apple, and when they drink, they move up and down, and they can hear the sound of "gurgling", but this sword has no Adam's apple, and when they drink, they are silent, and there is no sound at all, and a bottle of wine is empty.
"If you don't have enough wine, get some more!"
Miss Hu shouted in the house again: "Daddy, come in~ The child is making trouble, and he has to say that he wants his parents to accompany him before he is willing to sleep!" β
The fat man took out another bottle of wine, and there was nothing else in the package except wine, and the fat man didn't even prepare chicken legs for himself, and he prepared wine for this sword along the way.
"Okay, no, let's talk about it~ What now?"
The sword is not in a hurry, but the fat man is in a hurry: according to the child, if he runs away, he will die; Why don't you run and go in and sleep with this kid? The fat man really doesn't have the guts. But Miss Xiaohu is the child's mother again, what should I do? Did I run away regardless of it, or go in and run with my sister, or go in and fight with this kid, or go in...... No, I don't want to put this kid to sleep at all! Thinking about it, the fat man's heart was in a mess, and he really didn't know what to do.
"Uh...... This ......" The sword seemed to burp.
"Say, say." The fat man urged.
The sword stopped talking, and got into the scabbard himself......
"Hey! You, you ...... "Don't bring such a playful person!" You came out to cheat on the wine and drink, and when you were full, you slept again? You don't care if my sister and I live or die? This is too unconscionable!
The fat man opened the package, took out all the wine bottles and laid them out, picked up a small pebble on the ground, patted the scabbard, and said, "You have a good look!" He raised the stone in his hand and threw it on the bottle. Before the fat man's hand was halfway down, the scabbard pulled the fat man back. The fat man staggered to the ground. The scabbard shook, and the sword said, "Hey~ I'm scared to death!" Don't make trouble~ Come on, come on, I'll teach you a trick to keep you safe! β
"Say it quickly!" The fat man was so anxious that his eyes were red.
"You go in...... Go in and put the child to sleep...... He just slept well. β
The fat man held up the pebble, "Hey, what a great idea!" Believe it or not, I'm going to give it all at once...... Yes? β
"It's up to you whether you listen or not," Jian said lightly, "Listen to me, you can still pour me wine in the future, otherwise...... That child's head will soon take your place. β
This woke up the fat man: I see, the child killed me, cut off my head, and put his head on my neck. So what he sees now, a child's head, placed on an old man, should be the child killed an old man before, and replaced the old man's head with a child's head? Eh, wait! I said I always stepped on someone's head tonight, and it turned out to be ...... Thinking about it like this, the fat man's blood is cold! He's seen so many monsters, and this one is the most ferocious.
The fat man's heart said: Go in and coax him to sleep? Who put me to sleep?
"Really...... Really, it's really okay to put him to sleep? β
The scabbard shook and said, "You should learn more from Xiaohu," and stopped moving.
The fat man cleaned up the wine bottle on the ground, opened a bottle with his hand, poured a few sips, and strengthened himself: "Isn't it just to coax the child to sleep?" What a big deal! β
The fat man drank the wine, his face was flushed, he swaggered into the house, glanced at the head of the bed, and said happily: "Why don't you mother and son sleep yet!" That expression, that tone, showed the grandeur of the head of the family.
Miss Hu wiped the child's tears with her clothes, and the child only cried and said that she wanted to find her father. As soon as the fat man came in, Miss Xiaohu pointed at the fat man and said happily: "Look! Daddy is here! The child immediately stopped crying, and there were still two lines of tears on his cheeks. The fat man was very satisfied: Well, the little face is still very cute! Just look at his face, what do I see him doing underneath?
The fat man walked over, followed the example of the little bearded girl, and reached out and touched the child's head. The child bowed his head very obediently and giggled happily.
"Come on~ You two, lie down, it's late, it's time to sleep." The fat man pulled the futon over. Xiaohu lay down, the child also lay down, Xiaohu girl turned her face sideways to look at the fat man, her eyes were full of admiration - before this "father" came in, no matter how Xiaohu coaxed, the child refused to lie down. It seems that he still has the courage to be a father!
The fat man also lay down next to the bed, and the child slept against the wall, with the little bearded girl in the middle and the fat man in the outermost. A small bed, for another family of three to sleep, it is just right, the fat man lies up, half of the shoulder is not on the bed, as long as a little leaning, it will fall. This is due to the fact that Miss Xiaohu is slender, otherwise the fat man would have fallen to the ground.
With "Daddy" sleeping with him, the child was very happy and said, "Dad, Mom, tell me a story." β
Lying in the same bed with this weird child like this, are you afraid or not? The fat man also broke the jar and fell, "coughed" heavily, cleared his throat, and said, "Okay! Daddy will tell you a ghost story! β
"Go, go!" Xiao Hu Jiao said angrily, "Are you human?" How can anyone tell a ghost story to a child in the middle of the night? β
"Don't listen to your father~ Mother, there are a lot of stories about mother!" Then Miss Hu began to tell how she had harmed the world and boasted about her great deeds one by one. Sometimes the child listens quietly, sometimes "hmm" twice, sometimes laughs. Miss Hu seems to have met someone who is so like-minded, willing to listen to her nonsense, not mad by her, and very cooperative with her, so she keeps talking.
