Before you know it, it's dark.

As soon as Chen Huchen came to his aunt's house, he didn't have time to take a sip of water, so he was caught by his aunt and washed dishes at the faucet at the back door.

Although she had a grudge in her heart, if she didn't come, the one hundred and fifty bowls and dishes of the six large round tables would be washed by Yuanyuan's hands. As for the two Cigu Ding, Daman and Xiaoman, they don't have to be eaten with chicken legs. Just thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Yuanyuan.

Therefore, Chen Huchen endured it until he finished washing the dishes, and then told Yuanyuan that she would not stay here tonight, and she would go home.

Yuanyuan is coquettish and cheating, saying that she wants to take turns massaging each other tonight.

Chen Huchen returned to his heart like an arrow, and ran away after a few words of comfort.

At that time, there were no street lights in the village, and the villagers only had flashlights to travel at night, otherwise, it was not surprising that anyone accidentally fell into the dung pit.

Chen Huchen was in a hurry, forgot to borrow a flashlight from Yuanyuan, and came back in the dark all the way, the frogs in the fields were croaking, the cicadas were singing on the trees, and the grass was gently swaying under his feet.

It's just torturous.

If Mom and Dad knew that she came back alone, they wouldn't feel sorry for her if they fell into the field.

Chen Huchen is an authentic rural person, but she has never been in the field or done farm work, and if she wants to help, she will be scolded back by her mother. Because her father said that her hands can write and do housework, but she can't get wet with loess. Sometimes, she feels that Xie Haoyi is right, she is a little squeamish.

Why hasn't the moon come out yet, it's dark and doesn't slip in autumn, how to go?

Don't be afraid, as long as you are tough, the ghosts are afraid of you.

Chen Huchen was scared while cheering for himself in his heart. She straightened her back, her eyes widened, and she walked fiercely in the darkness.

Suddenly I stepped on something, long, soft, as if ......

Snake???

Snake!!!

"Ahhh

I don't care what I stepped on, I didn't care what I touched, I didn't know how long I ran, and finally saw a few sparks flashing in the night.

Chen Huchen settled down and stopped running.

At this moment, the moon emerged from the clouds, and the moon cage poured on the country road like a light veil, and the road surface could be vaguely seen.

Chen Huchen finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking.

After walking for a while, I suddenly heard a shout: "Shadow! ”

Chen Huchen was startled, and looked around, it was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly.

It's a man's voice.

Very penetrating, a little fierce, and very urgent.

Not a bit of an accent here, not a local.

Couldn't it be someone who came looking for her daughter?

Thinking like this, Chen Huchen's heart settled a little, and as she walked, she noticed that people were near her through movement.

"Where to fall, I'll look at ......"

Chen Huchen said in his heart, sure enough!

"It's okay......" the woman's voice was murky.

"My knees are broken!" The man's angry voice.

Chen Huchen has loved reading since she was a child, and her imagination has been enriched, she probably guessed the plot, it is estimated that the woman wants to walk around the village, but unexpectedly, the countryside is not as bright as the city, accidentally, she fell, the woman's husband was a little angry, look, she is scolding.

"What are you running out for? Do you know the way? Where are you going? How many times have I told you? Don't run away alone! You're my wife, not my child! Please don't let me say you and teach you again and again! ”

"It's terrible here, there's nothing, it's dirty and rotten, what should the baby do if he stays in a place like this? She's like you, if she gets into a bug, she will get a rash, what should I do? Will the person who stole her drugged her? Brother, I miss the baby so much, I think of the heartache, it hurts, it hurts, I can't live anymore......" the woman cried, almost breaking down.

Chen Huchen was sure in his heart. She continued on her way, and at last on a downhill path, in the moonlight, she saw two figures standing there.

The man turned his back to the woman, was silent for a moment, and turned to face the woman.

"When she's dead."

"What did you say?"

The man was silent.

The woman wailed heartbreakingly.

Chen Huchen listened to it and felt his heart pinch it.

The wind was blowing, a motorcycle was climbing uphill, the headlights were blowing, and in that brief moment, the bodies of men and women emerged clearly, one tall and calm, the other thin and silent.

"Bastard!"

"You don't have to look for her, you don't love her, you can't stand me, you can divorce me, you are not qualified to ask me! My daughter is my life, I don't die for a day, she is alive! She is so good, she is living well in this world! ”

"You know, why do you still say such things? Do you still want to? What do you want me to do? You tell me. I'm not just her dad, and you're not just her mom. We still have Hao'er, and Ah Heng, they are nine years old. Have we taken good care of them over the years? Have you ever been to a parent-teacher conference? Have I ever accompanied them to an amusement park? No. Because they don't have a sister, they can't get that, right? When we look for her day and night, is it fair to Hao'er and Ah Heng? If I could, I'd rather never be her dad myself. When she was a dad, I only had pain. ”

"I've always had An'er and one child enough, and it doesn't matter if I don't have you. I gave birth to Tong Zhihao and Tong Jiaheng in order to repay your Tong family's nurturing grace, and to satisfy your parents' wish for the Tong family to prosper. With them, you don't love my An'er so much, the day she disappeared, you all scolded her, and you beat her. But the person she loves most is her father. You said you didn't want to be her dad. Don't forget, I could have taken my children to live in another city by myself, and you forced me to marry you. If I hadn't married you, my daughter wouldn't have been lost. If she didn't get lost, your Tong family wouldn't be so miserable......"

The man bowed his head, then approached his wife, wanting to hug her.

Suddenly, the woman slapped her husband three times in a row. Every time it fell, it was like a muffled thunder hitting the low sky.

The man didn't dodge, let her beat, as if he didn't feel the pain, didn't even touch his face, just looked at his wife, caught her at the moment when his wife ran out of strength, hugged her in his arms, tight.

In an instant, their bodies converged together, forming a silhouette in the moonlight, looking lonely and helpless from a distance, and relying on strength from a distance.

Chen Huchen took a deep breath, turned around and walked forward, an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart, making every step she took heavier than the previous one.

When I got home, the lights were on in the house and there was no one in the hall, but the sound of the radio playing the radio came from the parents' room. Chen Huchen didn't make a sound, he went to take a shower first, then went to the kitchen to get a sweet potato and an egg and went back to the room.

I'm too tired today and I don't want to be scolded, Chen Huchen plans to wake up tomorrow and appear in front of his parents again to surprise them.

After eating, she fell asleep.

However, I couldn't sleep at all after tossing and turning, and my mind was a mess of threads, and I couldn't figure out what I was thinking.

Chen Huchen pulled out of bed and walked to the desk, intending to take the MP3 that Lin Ze gave her last summer.

She was just about to open the drawer when she suddenly heard movement outside the window, and suddenly held her breath, it was simply scary.

Her room is the best room in the house, with a large window in front of the desk, facing west, sometimes a gentle breeze, and it is cool even if you don't turn on the fan in summer. Outside is a small yard with her favorite honeysuckle flowers.

Next to the window, there is a bench against the wall.

It is estimated that the person is sitting on that bench right now.

The room was unlit and dark, so they thought there was no one when they passed by.

Otherwise, who would talk in front of a girl's window at night.

It's the couple I just met.

Aren't they going to spend the night?

Why not go inside?

It's like talking on the phone.

Chen Huchen calmed down. I have given up on taking MP3 and lie quietly next to the window. She knew that her behavior was shameful, but she couldn't help but be curious.

"Dad is not tired. Mom? Mom is tired, and now she is obediently resting in Dad's arms. Right...... Well...... Are you sure? You're so good...... My brother is so good...... Got it, Mom and Dad will be careful...... Daddy loves you...... Mommy loves you too...... Mom seems to be asleep, and Dad helps her say the same...... Obedient...... Mom and Dad love you, love you so much, love you more than you love us...... Of course, you are mom and dad's little darling...... Okay, baby. Is it okay to give the phone to my brother? ”

For some reason, Chen Huchen listened, his heart was warm, and he felt warm for a strange man, coaxing his daughter's gentle words.

In the world of words, the human word is an indestructible weapon and the most ingrained skill.

The contented everyday language, the flawed and sober gossip, the gap-filling and longing dramatic dialogues are all far or near, deep or shallow, in her world.

But the past fifteen years have not made her so shocked by this moment, and it feels like looking in a mirror, stark, straightforward, and unreserved.

Chen Huchen knows that she has a complete and happy little family, however, her small home will never have dialogues like "I love you" and "I love you too".

"Ah Heng, take care of your sister, don't let her eat too many snacks, eat more, drink more milk, you know? Well. If she misses her parents so much that she loses her temper, you tell her to practice her dance well, and her parents will definitely rush back to watch her competition...... Well, Dad will take care of Mom, don't worry...... Mom and Dad love you too. Okay, good night. ”

Hung up the phone, and it was quiet outside.

After staying for a long time, Chen Huchen felt a little tired, and was about to leave, when he heard the man speak again, in a very low voice, as if he was talking to his wife.

"Tomorrow, we will go to the primary and secondary schools in the county to distribute An'er's information, and then go home and wait for the news, okay?"

"Tomorrow is Saturday and students don't have classes. You go back first, I'll stay until Monday, I'm at the school gate, see one by one, maybe, which girl thinks I'm familiar, look at me twice, I look at her twice, that's An'er......" The woman's voice was weak, but her tone was clearly full of hope.

A gust of wind swirled around the temperature, and the summer night air became cold, kissing the sleepless.

Chen Huchen slowly turned around and leaned against the wall. Obviously, it is more of a pity for that family, and I should not have experienced the pain of separation, but I was incredibly shocked by the weakness and strength of this mother. The mother didn't seem willing to give up for a second.

The man was silent for a while, and then said calmly: "I have a friend's hometown right here, and after his father was hospitalized, he came back, and I asked him to help, not only in the school, but also in the hospital, at the station, everywhere. We'll be home tomorrow and I've promised my two kids to go back and watch them play. I will not give up on An'er, and I will not ignore Hao'er and Ah Heng. I want you to understand that they are all our children. ”

Nearly a minute of silence. The woman never responded to her husband's words.

"Sleep at their house, or go back to the car?" The man's tone became a little tired, "They seem to be asleep." It was a bit noisy for us to go in. The luggage is in the car, let's change our clothes, let's sleep in the car, and tomorrow morning, we will go to the county town......"

Before the man finished speaking, the woman interrupted: "Did you bring an MP3?" I want to listen to the baby sing......" was full of pain in his low voice.

The man seemed to kiss the woman.

"Brought it."

Then, there was a slight movement.

Chen Huchen's body moved lightly, and he returned to the bed softly, lying in the dark.

Sideways, facing the window.

The silvery moonlight casts down, and the night is so quiet. The man walked by her window with his wife in his arms.
