44. Children's courage

The old man of the Xia family said yes. No one can change the decision he made, and Xia Changzheng knew that his ambition in this life was like a tree with broken roots, and there was no possibility of growth. He sighed and stomped his feet out of the Xia family's manor, while his wife, Zhang Juan, was almost paralyzed and was carried out by the servants.

The cardboard boxes and dolls on the floor were also cleaned up, and the living room was finally clean.

Although Xia Wenyuan is in a wheelchair, he can still see his leader's bearing and majesty. In the face of such a person, Aoki also had to put away his arrogance and laziness for a while, and stepped forward to say hello seriously.

Xia Wenyuan didn't put on a show at all, and said politely: "Please forgive the old man for being sick and not being able to get up to pay respects." Mr. Aoki is a friend of Professor Mei, and of course a friend of mine, so you are not welcome to me. And when he saw that they were all standing, he said, "Sit, all of you." ”

After everyone was seated, Xia Wenyuan called Xia Xia kindly: "Every day, come, come to grandpa." ”

I don't know if it's because the grandfather and grandson are very close, or because the child's temperament has improved, Xia trotted into Xia Wenyuan's arms.

Xia Wenyuan patted Summer's back and said to Aoki, "The child's business bothered you!" ”

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that it's going to take some time to fully recover!" Aoki said.

"So what do we need to do?" Wu Lixia asked.

"yes, Aoki, what's next?" Hu Xing also urged.

Aoki said, "Tian Tian is very strong! Hurt like this, but his heart didn't become dark because of this, so as long as you care about him a little more, you will get better. ”

"It's all that damn wicked woman! How can there be such a woman in the world? Hu Xing said indignantly.

"Actually, the damage that woman caused to the child is not the greatest, the key ......" Aoki was a little hesitant to say it in front of the child.

"I see, you meanβ€”" She gestured with her hand to the puppet that had been taken away by the servant, meaning that the key was how to make Summer forget the ghost of her brother who didn't exist.

Wu Lixia added: "I'm afraid it's not just that, the biggest harm for a child is to encounter something he is afraid of but can't find someone who can protect him, not only that, but also being wronged." Alas......"

Actually, that's what Aoki wanted to say. Summer's biggest psychological injury came from his father. In the process of growing up, people will always encounter all kinds of dangers, and the fear of the unknown is innate. But as long as Dad is there, we won't be afraid.

With a good father, children will have a sense of support, a sense of security, and will not be afraid even if demons invade.

But this matter is the most powerless thing Aoki can do. He cannot replace the father of the child, and if the child does not have a father who loves him, even if the fear in his heart is cured today, he will encounter such a thing tomorrow.

Everyone present understands this truth.

Xia Wenyuan said: "Our Xia family is also a big family, and there will be no problem in taking care of Xiaotian's life in the future, and the current matter depends on Mr. Aoki." The so-called thing has an end, and those who can work harder, you will have to worry more!. ”

Aoki nodded and said, "Old man, if you don't say that I will do it!" Actually, as long as you take your children to relax. ”

He said as he walked up to Summer and held out his hand. Summer hesitated for a moment, and also reached out to pull Aoki's hand together.

Aoki took Summer's hand and walked to the garden outside the living room, the sound of tapping and tapping on the board disappeared into the doorway with their figures.

"What a weirdo!" Wu Lixia said.

"Aunt Xia, he's amazing! You believe it now! Hu Xing said.

"Believe, believe, I never said I didn't believe it!" Wu Lixia looked at Hu Xing, and then said to Xia Wenyuan with a smile, "If you want to talk about ability, it's enough, it's this image and identity...... Still not worthy of our apricots. ”

Xia Wenyuan said with a smile: "The image is nothing, people who are really capable are informal, as for the identity, don't worry, as long as you enter the door of our Xia family, are you afraid of a low identity?" Look at Xing'er's father, he was just a little policeman back then, and then he didn't rise step by step? If it weren't for the sacrifice of the public faction, he would have been the head of the hall by now. ”

Xia Wenyuan said and sighed.

Wu Lixia said: "According to what you say, it seems that it is okay." ”

Xia Wenyuan laughed: "The questions you think about are not problems. I'm afraid it's your wishful thinking, but people don't necessarily have this idea! ”

"Aunt Xia! Grandfather! What do you say? Of course, Hu Xing understood what they were saying, and felt that the old couple was so unserious, but for some reason, her face burned hotly when there was nothing to do.

Xia Wenyuan and Wu Lixia looked at each other and smiled, and they no longer talked about this topic.

After a while, the sound of tapping and tapping sounded again, and Aoki and Summer returned.

The little boy's face was still haggard, holding Aoki's big hand, and he still looked a little scared, but his eyes were much more lively, and he began to show a little childlike brilliance, like a child.

He bit his lip as if he was making a big determination, and it wasn't until Aoki squeezed his hand hard that he looked up, saw Aoki's encouraging gaze, and nodded vigorously.

Summer broke free from Aoki's hand and suddenly ran out, and in the blink of an eye, he ran away without a shadow.

The Xia couple and Hu Xing both looked at Aoki and didn't know what was going on.

Aoki smiled and said, "It's okay." ”

Hu Xing pouted and said, "So it's mysterious! ”

A maid hurriedly ran and said, "Oh no, the young master in the summer snatched that terrible doll again, and now I don't know what to do when I run to the backyard!" ”

Except for Aoki, several people were shocked and said, "Go and have a look." ”

Everyone rushed to the backyard and saw Summer squatting under a big tree and digging a small hole in the dirt. The horror doll was in the pit.

"Every day!"

Wu Lixia and Hu Xing shouted at the same time, they were about to run over, but Xia Wenyuan stopped them: "Let him go." ”

With a lighter in her hand, Summer glanced back at them, then lowered her head and carefully observed the dolls. After watching it for a while, he lit the lighter and approached the doll with the flames. Soon, a raging flame ignited on the puppet's body, and the firelight reflected on Summer's face, becoming red, a little more bloody and angry.

After the fire was extinguished, the pit was turned over in the ash heap with branches in the summer, and then the pit was buried with fresh earth.

After doing this, he stood up, turned and walked back slowly.

Summer walked up to Aoki's side, looked up, stretched out his hand, returned a mud-stained Dupont lighter to Aoki, and wiped the sweat from his face with his dirty hands.

An innocent smile appeared on his face that had been smeared by the sludge......
