Chapter 4: Night
Jura pulled out a bunch of keys and clicked the door open. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Dudian looked at the slowly opening room and knew that this would be the place where he would live for the rest of his life.
"Dean, come in." Jura took out a pair of adult cotton shoes from the small cabinet next to the door, and deliberately shook them in front of Dudian's eyes, as if to make him happy, "These are uncle's shoes, you wear them first, and I will take you to buy a new pair before curfew at night." ”
Du Dian was slightly stunned, and then relieved, too, one of the conditions for adopting a child is that he must be married, that is, he still has a nominal father who is not masked.
He consciously took off the dirty thick shoes on his feet, and the rough shoes carved a few painful red marks on his feet, and when he stepped on the clean cotton shoes, a comfortable feeling came.
"Come, I'll take you to wash first." Jura said enthusiastically.
Du Dian thought she could take a comfortable bath, but instead she saw that she just soaked a towel in warm water, wrung it out, and wiped her face and arms for herself, which was exactly the same way as in the orphanage.
It's just that the color of the water is much purer.
Dudian didn't know that in this world, including the aristocracy, they all used this "dry cleaning" method to bathe, and the general perception of people was that water would weaken the body's functions and reduce the ability to resist diseases, and even the nobles who loved cleanliness would only wash once or twice a year.
After washing, Jura asked Dudian to familiarize herself with the house, and she took the coarse cloth clothes that Dudian had changed into and disposed of them.
Dudian walked around the room, and as he expected, he didn't see anything technological, not even a simple clockwork alarm clock, and he saw an old loom that he had only seen in fairy tales, which he remembered were set in what seemed to be the European Middle Ages, before the age of steam.
Although a loom alone could not determine anything, Dudian thought of everything he had seen in the past few months, and was already convinced in his heart that the civilization of this post-disaster world must have just developed into the Bronze Age before steam, and had just learned to use metal.
This discovery made him think something in his heart......
In the evening, the sky was getting darker, the air was a little colder, and it seemed that it was going to rain again.
Jura was worried that Dudian was afraid of the dark, so she lit the oil lamp early, and the dim light swayed on Dudian's face, and every time she saw it, Jura felt amazing, it was so white, whiter than her complexion.
"It's going to rain, hasn't my uncle come back yet?" Dudian glanced out the window and said.
Jura smiled, thinking that this was really a good boy, and said, "Uncle has been making a batch of goods these days, and he won't come back at night, are you hungry, I'll do what you want to eat." ”
"Eat whatever you have."
"It's really a good boy, then let you taste your mother's craftsmanship and make sure you love to eat." Jura is confident.
……
……
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
Dudian had already met the titular father, Gray, a tall, thin middle-aged man, of ordinary appearance, with a personality like Jura's, gentle, a tailor by profession, and his workbench on the loom, which he would bring to his house to make during the snow season, for there were no coals or coal stoves in the factory.
Jura's adoption of the child was obviously discussed by them, and when he first came home and saw Dudian, his expression was the same as that of the adults in the orphanage, his face was full of surprise, and when he knew that Dudian had nothing wrong except for a little autism, he was so satisfied that he couldn't hold back his smile for several days.
Night.
The storms that are common during the rainy season have returned, and the rain is pouring down.
Du Dian, who slept in his small room, opened his eyes in vain, sat up suddenly, only to find that it was just a nightmare, and then he felt that his whole body was soaked with cold sweat, and his clothes were stuck to his skin with sweat, which was a little uncomfortable, he shook off his clothes, and suddenly felt a surge of urine, and immediately got out of bed gently, put on his shoes, and gently opened the door, only to find that under the door of the Jura couple's room, which was diagonally opposite the door, there was a dim light on, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
They haven't slept so late?
Du Di suddenly jumped twice in his heart, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his head, and he unconsciously approached the past.
The architectural materials of this world obviously did not consider the sound insulation, at least not in the Jura family, and subtle sounds came from the room.
"Are you really going to do that?" It was Jura's voice, with a hint of hesitation.
"I know, you like this child a lot, I like it a lot, to be honest, I can't bear it, but, this is a rare opportunity, if he can be favored by Miss Ivy's family, we can move into the business district, there, we will find better jobs, if you feel lonely, we will adopt another child, anyway, we can afford it."
"It's not about money, I'm worried, if Du Dian marries into Ivy's family, this child doesn't like to talk, he will be bullied, they are completely people from two worlds, I have seen those children who marry into big families when I see a doctor, and their lives are similar to servants, and some are not as good as servants."
There was silence in the room for a while, and Gray's voice continued to sound, "Jura, you should think like this, he was originally an orphan in the slums, if it wasn't for us, but was adopted by another serf family, and his life was not as good as a servant, and he could live the life of a servant in Ivy's house, I don't know how many others he could envy. ”
"But ......"
"Okay, this matter has been decided, whether it can be done or not is one thing."
There was silence in the room.
The little figure at the door was also silent, his little hands clenched tightly into fists, and then slowly let go, turned around, as if dragging his body, and returned to his room, as if he had forgotten the urge to urinate before.
Sitting on the bed, Du Dian listened to the sound of the rain outside the window, and suddenly felt a very painful heart, although he has always put the Jura couple on the identity of the nominal parents, but this month the meticulous care of the Jula couple made him very moved, and there was more warmth in his heart, but he didn't expect that the world once again broke some of the soft beauty in his heart like a mockery.
In the dead of night, he suddenly felt very lonely.
I suddenly missed my father and mother, who were knowledgeable, strict and gentle to him, and my sister, who always liked to pinch her ears.
Why, why is it the incompetent self that remains?!
He clenched his fists, but his heart was very weak, I don't know how long it took, a thought slowly emerged in his heart, since ...... I will never see my parents and sister again, so let this strange world return to what I once was familiar with!
No one knew that on this rainy night, the gears of history, in the chest of this inconspicuous little figure in the darkness, slowly turned forward.
