Today's Senator Ye is an old man in his last years, with wrinkles and sparse white hair on his face, his legs and feet are very inflexible, and he is also a little old and dizzy, it is not easy for one person to cook so many dishes. He is old and frail, but he guards a house alone, lonely and desolate, which makes people feel sad and distressed.

Xiao Se brought a lot of gifts, all of which he bought in France, including various health products, nutritional products, and clothes.

"I don't need to buy these all day long." Senator Ye didn't appreciate it, "Money should be spent where it should be spent, don't think that if you have money, you can waste it casually." ”

"You don't need to care about me, just send my heart." Xiao Se didn't care, he was used to Senator Ye's indifference and disregard.

Senator Ye snorted, and finally put the big bag of things into the room.

During the meal, Xiao Se once again put forward a suggestion that had been rejected countless times by Senator Ye: "Grandpa, don't live here, come home with me to live." It's all a family, and after so many years, no matter how big the grievances are, it's time to resolve them. ”

"Who's a family with you!" Senator Ye was stubborn and annoyed, "I will never forgive them until I die, let alone live with them!" ”

"Or ...... I'll hire a babysitter to come and take care of you. Xiao Se retreated, "You are here alone, I really don't feel at ease." ”

"I'm not old enough yet, are you looking for an outsider to bother me, do you want me to die early?" Senator Ye was angry, "Don't worry about me anymore, you should worry about yourself, you are 30 years old, why don't you have a family?" ”

I suddenly realized that Xiao Sedu was already 30 years old, and the once wanton and arrogant teenager had reached the age of standing in a blink of an eye, and the years had smoothed his edges and corners, making him quiet and calm, and depressed. He often has a heavy expression, frowns, no longer giggling, no longer cynicism, no longer telling jokes.

I held the chopsticks and stared at him blankly, I wanted to smooth the wrinkles on his brow and erase the dark clouds on his face.

"When are you going to get married?" Senator Ye asked again, "I'm as old as you, and I already have two daughters, why don't you stabilize quickly." ”

Xiao Se glanced at me, looking a little embarrassed and a little sad. "Grandpa, the times are different...... I can't stabilize it right now, and my career is just getting started......"

"What kind of bastard are you talking about, you can't delay other girls. What is the conflict between getting married, having children, and having a career? I think you're playing too wild, and you can't take it back! Senator Ye taught a lesson with a straight face.

"Not like that, sir." I spoke for Xiao Se, "I also have my career, the artistic life of a dancer is very short, once you get married and have children, you can only say goodbye to the stage. "We didn't tell the old man about the breakup, it would only make him angry.

"Then get married first, and the child will regenerate later, wasn't Ye Ying like this at that time......" Senator Ye suddenly stopped, put down his chopsticks, and his face was full of trouble and impatience, "I'm full, you guys should also eat quickly, and go to rest after eating." ”

He hobbled out of the dining room with his chopsticks.

Xiao Se smiled helplessly. "At such an age, my fiery temper still hasn't converged."

I buried my head in the silent cooking, and I didn't know the taste of the food.

Outside the window, I don't know when it started to be stormy, Xiao Se walked to the door of the restaurant and looked. "It looks like a typhoon, but the weather forecast doesn't say that the typhoon will pass through us."

"Weather forecasts never seem to be accurate." I said casually. Although there are frequent typhoons in Haicheng, I have not really seen the power of typhoons.

"That's right." Xiao Se returned to the table and sat down, and continued to eat.

The wind and rain were getting stronger and stronger, and the wind howling through the mountains and raindrops swept over the doors and window panes, and it was a terrifying feeling. Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the kitchen, which made me scream in fright. Xiao Se got up and rushed into the kitchen, I also followed, the kitchen window was originally broken, it couldn't be closed, but now it was blown down by the wind, the raindrops swept in from the unguarded window, Senator Ye was rescuing the wine bottle and oil bottle on the table, we hurried to help. After rescuing one batch, it was too late to move the second batch, and a gust of wind and rain forced us out of the kitchen. Xiao Se closed the door from the kitchen to the dining room, and pressed against the door with all his strength before latching the door. Immediately, there was a ping-pong sound in the kitchen, and all the remaining bottles and cans must have suffered.

"Let's go to the room!" Senator Ye shouted loudly.

We looked separately, and I went into the bedroom where I had stayed with Xiao Se last time, and my clothes were all soaked from the time I rescued the kitchen supplies, and they were sticking to my body wetly. The window of the room is closed, but the rain gushes in through the crack in the window like a fountain, and the bed is close to the window, and the bed is already **. In my hurry, I grabbed a sheet and blocked the gap in the window. Before it could be blocked, the lights suddenly went out, and I immediately fell into the darkness where I couldn't see my fingers, and the feeling of horror made me feel weak, and I gave up blocking the window and stood in the bedroom shivering.

"Tong Xin—" Xiao Se rushed into the room in the dark.

"I'm here." At this moment, I felt that Xiao Se was an omnipresent protector, which brought me a great sense of security.

He groped his way over, grabbed my arm, and pulled me into his arms. "I'm so scared." I buried my head in his chest and whispered tremblingly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." He hugged me tightly, patted me on the back, and said in a soothing, low voice.

There was a loud bang outside, like a tree falling, and I jumped again. This was followed by a commotion, and I don't know what it was. Then there was a bang, as if something big had jumped into the house somewhere.

"How is the master, does it matter?" I'm worried about the Senator.

"He's fine in the room. Your feet should be protected and not soaked in water. The water on the ground was up to my ankles, and Xiao Se carried me to the small table next to the bed, and he stood against the table himself.

I can't sleep in bed tonight, and it's impossible to go to someone else's house to spend the night, and it's hard to move in the storm outside, and it's very dangerous, so I can only stay in the dark for one night. We sat and stood together, Xiao Se still holding me in his arms, the wind and rain were raging outside, the rain was pouring into the house, and the sound of objects crashing and smashing was incessant.

It was the most horrible and long night I had ever had, but the bleak embrace made me feel extra warm and reassured, and I fell asleep in a terrible noise. I woke up at dawn and opened my eyes in a daze. The wind finally subsided, and I moved slightly, and Xiao Se immediately felt it. "Awake?"

I left Xiao Se's arms and looked around the room, a foot of water soaked in the foot of the bed and the table foot, and Xiao Se still stood against the table, and he held me in his arms and stood all night in the knee-deep water.

"You haven't slept all night." I looked at his red eyes and tired look, and raised my hand in distress to caress his face, but he took my hand, put his cheek on mine and whispered, "I'm okay." I'm so sorry I wouldn't have let you experience such a horrible night if I hadn't brought you here. ”

He took my hand again and pressed it to his lips. I felt my eyes heat up and looked up at him deeply. We stared, and time froze under the constant gaze of both sides.

It took me a while to come to my senses. "You've been standing for too long, come up and sit." I was about to jump off the table as I spoke.

He stopped me. "Your feet are precious, mine doesn't matter. But since you're awake, let's go out to see grandpa, don't move, I'll carry you out. ”

He picked me up from the table, probably because my feet were numb from standing for too long, he jolted a little, quickly stabilized himself, waded to the door, I opened the door, and he carried me out.

I was stunned by the sight outside, one tree in the yard had been uprooted, and another had broken seven or eight branches. The flowers in the flower beds also fell from side to side, and all the hedges on all sides fell down.

When I entered the dining room, I saw Senator Ye sitting on a chair in front of the table, his legs soaked in water.

"Grandpa." Xiao Se shouted.

Senator Ye turned around, I was still being held by Xiao Seheng, and I didn't feel a little embarrassed, but Senator Ye looked very ordinary, just muttered in his mouth: "This typhoon, the family has all suffered." It's a mess in the kitchen, and I can't make you breakfast. ”

"Leave breakfast alone, grandpa, how were you last night?" Xiao Se put me on the table and asked Senator Ye with concern.

"I'm fine, I lay down on the table and fell asleep." Senator Ye snorted lowly, "I haven't seen this old bone in the world, and I'm still afraid of typhoons?" ”

"That's it." Xiao Se accompanied the smiling face.

It was flooded everywhere outside, and we couldn't go anywhere, so we had to stay in the restaurant, talking to each other.

The sky was getting brighter, the storm had turned to a drizzle, and the water in the house had receded. Xiao Se opened the kitchen door and went in to check on the situation, and I followed. The kitchen was in shambles, and the entire wooden kitchen cabinet had collapsed. Xiao Se lifted the cabinet from the floor and straightened it again.

Suddenly, something fell out of the cupboard and fell to the ground with a "pop". Xiao Se's eyes and I were drawn to something on the ground at the same time, and my gaze immediately froze, it was a big red long-handled old-fashioned umbrella. Many years ago, what Xiao Se said to me hit his mind at this time, he asked the people of Yejia Village about the incident of someone throwing into the lake back then, and the person told him that on the night when Ye Ying threw himself into the lake, someone in the village saw a woman holding a red umbrella and wearing a red cotton jacket by the lake, and his aunt used to like to wear a red cotton jacket, so it was rumored that the aunt pushed her sister into the lake in order to marry her brother-in-law.

This red umbrella is obviously used by women, it should be hidden in the kitchen cupboard, and it fell from it when Xiao Se moved the cabinet just now, why did Senator Ye hide such a red umbrella? A chill crept up my spine.
