Chapter 21: Growing Up in Suffering
Zheng Xiaojie refused, and Sister Zhen could only return in a huff, but she still didn't give up. A few days later, she and Ji Yutong also persuaded Emily. The three little girls and elders stopped Brother Zhen when he was wandering alone again to no one's place.
"What?" When Brother Zhen saw the three little girls blocking the way, he dodged and tried to walk past them. But Sister Zhen moved her footsteps and stood in front of Brother Zhen again. Seeing that they were deliberately stopping themselves, Brother Zhen was naturally a little unhappy. But after all, it looked like a little girl much younger than himself, Brother Zhen didn't make a move, but asked very unhappily: "Want to fight?" ”
"I don't want to!" Sister Zhen said, "I just want to tell you something." ”
Brother Zhen looked at the three little girls who were a head shorter than him, lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "Say it!" ”
"Do you remember Aunt Ji Yutong?" Brother Zhen replied. Although he was very young at that time, in his impression, Ji Yutong always followed his mother, and they seemed to be inseparable, always discussing something.
"Remember!"
"Where's Aunt Emily?"
"Remember...... They went out with my mom to run errands, and it would take a long time for them to come back! "It's annoying to ask such questions one by one, Brother Zhen simply said to the end: My mother went out, what else do you want to ask?
"No, they're in the dungeon!"
Unheard of, Brother Zhen's mind went blank. In a trance, he was very angry. Mom was actually in the dungeon, watching him lonely, and didn't come out to help him?
But on second thought, it can't be. It's been years, she's in the dungeon, how come he's never seen her? It must be the little girl in front of him who is lying to him!
"Impossible!" Thinking of this, Brother Zhen smiled: "If you talk nonsense again, be careful that I beat you!" ”
"Look at her!" Sister Zhen pointed at Ji Yutong: "Aunt Xiangji?" ”
Brother Zhen looked at Ji Yutong and shook his head. It's been years, he can't remember, not to mention that even if it's a little similar, it doesn't mean anything. There are more similar people in this world, who do you say he is, who is he?
"Look at her, then!" Sister Zhen had no choice but to point at Emily again and say, "She is Aunt Emily, can you recognize her?" ”
Brother Zhen looked at Emily, still shaking his head. How could a little girl in her early teens be Aunt Emily? Of course, this little girl is very beautiful like Aunt Emily, but that's all...... He suddenly felt that the little girl in front of him was clearly teasing him. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be furious: "Get out!" If you mess around again, I'll beat you up!" ”
"Look at me again! ……”
Brother Zhen couldn't bear it anymore and raised his fist. No one paid attention to it in the dungeon, and after holding it for so long, it was already uncomfortable. These little girls actually dared to tease him, and he couldn't hold it back anymore. At that moment, he couldn't hold back any longer, and his fist clenched and slammed into the face of the little girl opposite...... Fortunately, Emily was alert and pulled Sister Zhen away.
"Run!" Emily shouted, and the three little girls ran away. Brother Zhen, who was furious, roared and chased after him closely. Seeing that he was about to catch up, a person flashed next to him and stopped him.
"Let go of me!" Brother Zhen struggled to break free from the man's grasp. His eyes were fixed on the three little girls who stopped and turned to look at him at this time: "I'll beat you up!" ”
"Alright, Brother Zhen!" The man who had taken him said, and then said to the three little girls, "You are true! ”
Brother Zhen looked up, and he saw that it was Aunt Xiang Zidan: "They are teasing me!" ”
His tears rolled down uncontrollably, and he couldn't help crying. Xiang Zidan didn't say anything, just gently wiped his tears for him. When he had cried enough, she said, "They didn't lie to you!" ”
Brother Zhen raised his head and looked at Xiang Zidan in disbelief.
"This is true, I'll tell you slowly......" Xiang Zidan pulled Brother Zhen and said to Sister Zhen and the others: "You guys come too!" ”
"Fortunately, you're here," Sister Zhen had palpitations, her son was really wild: "If you hadn't appeared in time today, the three of us would have been miserable!" ”
"I wish he had beaten you up!" Xiang Zidan smiled bitterly. Xiang Zidan, who was cautious by nature, saw Sister Zhen and Ji Yutong secretly pulling Emily away, so she quietly followed. Fortunately, she was careful, otherwise Sister Zhen and the three of them would really have to suffer: "Can't you wait for him to grow up before telling him?" ”
She took her four children to her home......
That night, Brother Zhen had a fever, and the fever was terrible. Xiang Zidan, who was always paying attention to Brother Zhen's movements, found out that something was wrong with him in time, and immediately sent him to the hospital.
Sister Zhen was frightened, she originally wanted to tell him the truth so that she could help him in the future, but she didn't expect that as soon as this matter came out, it gave the child such a big stimulus.
It's good, there is no danger. After three days, Brother Zhen's fever subsided, and he quickly recovered his health. But from then on, he became more reticent, sometimes not saying a word for an entire day. He was like that, and Sister Zhen was naturally very worried when she saw it. She had to go to her son often, hoping to accompany him and relieve his loneliness and loneliness.
However, Brother Zhen did not appreciate it, and he ignored the mother who had become a little girl. Later, he simply closed the door, and no matter how much she knocked on the door, he stopped opening it.
"I can't help it!" Sister Zhen sighed.
"You'd better let him be quiet for a few days," Xiang Zidan persuaded: "Now that I've told him that you're his mother, as for what he thinks in the future, you just let him calm down!" ”
"He's so pathetic......"
"For him, maybe it's also a kind of training," Xiang Zidan comforted: "Don't worry, Sister Zhen, I will keep an eye on him at any time." ”
What can Brother Zhen do? The matter with Aunt Xiaojie has been full of dungeon storms, and now my mother has become a little girl younger than herself. If other children knew about this, wouldn't he be laughed at yet?
Damn Jones man! He hated the Jones, and even though he had little impression of them, he hated them.
But does hate work? Useless! He knew that he was still young, half a head shorter than Aunt Zidan. He still has to stay up in the cold eyes of others until he grows up.
However, he rarely went out of the house, not even to school. What he fears most now is not anyone else, but his mother who has become a little girl. He didn't expect that when he became a little girl, she still loved to nag as before, saying that he was not right and that was wrong, which gave him a headache.
He didn't go to school, and Aunt Xiang Zidan came to the door. But no matter how much he tried to persuade him, he resolutely refused. Xiang Zidan could only tell Sister Zhen and let her persuade her son. But Sister Zhen didn't take this matter seriously. For Sister Zhen, as long as her son is in good health, it doesn't matter if she reads less: "I read less than him when I was a child!" ”
There was no way, Xiang Zidan could only give Brother Zhen a computer and put it in his room: "Then you can learn by yourself!" …… If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me. ”
This time, Brother Zhen has become a real otaku. Except for a meal at a restaurant, or an occasional outing for something, he never goes out again. Naturally, except for his little girl's mother and Aunt Xiang Zidan, there was no one in the dungeon to see him. To the others, it was as if Brother Zhen no longer existed.
Things in the world are so weird, often unintentionally planted willows and willows, although Brother Zhen no longer goes to school, but his harvest is much better than in school. He was always inattentive in school, because he had no interest in physics, chemistry, or anything like that, and he was always one of the worst in his studies.
But now, he doesn't have to learn things that he doesn't interest in, and he can read whatever he wants on the Internet as he wants. He really knows a lot of things, not only does he know about the earthlings and Jones people, but he even knows that his father is Shu Yunpeng, a traverser.
And so, two years passed quickly. He is seventeen years old, and he has grown very tall, half a head taller than Aunt Xiang Zidan.
Xiang Zidan, who hadn't paid much attention to Brother Zhen's for a while, was startled when he suddenly appeared in front of her.
"I'm dizzy!" Xiang Zidan looked at the young man in front of him who was half a head taller than himself, his eyes were in a trance, and he almost called "brother": "It's Brother Zhen, I thought it was ...... Do you have something to do with me? ”
"Hmm...... Aunt Zidan," Brother Zhen licked his lips and said, "I want to go to the Eternal Land with you!" ”
Xiang Zidan's eyes widened in surprise. The children in the dungeon never get out of the city gates, and naturally they don't tell them that there is an eternal place: "How do you know about the eternal land?" ”
"Seen on the Internet!" Brother Zhen said very calmly: "There is a big archway there......"
"It's hot outside, so don't go!" Xiang Zidan hesitated for a while and said.
"It's okay!" Brother Zhen said, "I want to go!" ”
"Why is the child disobedient?" Sister Zhen next to her couldn't help it: "If you don't let the adults go, you can't go!" ”
"In terms of physical condition, you are younger than me," Brother Zhen didn't buy it: "You can go, why can't I go?" ”
Sister Zhen said, indeed, in terms of the age of the body, she is indeed more than two years younger than her son.
"We're not going to play, but we have something to do," Xiang Zidan also wanted to persuade him not to go: "It's really burning outside, and it's not good if you accidentally get a heat stroke." ”
"I know it's not to play," Brother Zhen insisted: "Today is the traditional Chinese festival Qingming Festival, the day to worship ancestors, isn't it appropriate for me to go and worship my father!" ”
Everyone was stunned, they couldn't imagine that Brother Zhen even knew this. After hesitating for a while, Liang Jingjing said: "Let's let him go, if the heat is unbearable, let him stay on the spaceship!" ”
No one objected, and Brother Zhen followed them to the spaceship. When he got on the boat, he looked around and looked around, very curious. The children in the dungeon, since they can't go out, naturally no one has ever been on a spaceship, and Brother Zhen is the first.
