It wasn't until I listened to my adoptive father's story that I understood. Why have I been treated coldly at home all these years, they have avoided me for everything. It turned out that they were really afraid of me.

It was then that I realized that what I had suffered at home was really nothing. The suffering that the adoptive parents have suffered over the years is great. Not seeing me for a day, they think of their missing son. There is nothing they can do, they don't want to face it, but they have to face it. You can only open and close your eyes every day. Caught in a cycle of pain.

In my heart, I also have a deep respect for my adoptive parents. I also want to bow deeply to them like a thin man. If nothing else, just for them.

However, when I stood up, I couldn't bend my waist at all. Decades of apathy became habitual. Suddenly I want to get warm, I really can't do it.

When my adoptive father saw me frowning on the ground, as if he knew what I was thinking, he waved his hand: "Go home, go home." ”

I shook my head: "I have to find the truth of the matter. ”

My adoptive father looked at me in surprise: "The truth of the matter? How are you going to find it? I've been looking for your adoptive mother for twenty years. Still nothing. After all these years, we have figured it out too. It doesn't matter if you're our son or not. At least you look exactly like Xu You. For so many years, we haven't bothered you, we haven't asked you. At least, you didn't do anything bad and were admitted to university. Actually, you're really our son, and that's good. I don't want anything to happen to you. ”

I looked at him: "So, you stopped me just now when you were outside the window?" ”

The adoptive father nodded: "There are a lot of imps here, they are very bad, I am afraid that they will hurt you." ”

This sentence made Wushuang and the others laugh.

The adoptive father looked at them puzzled: "What do you want to laugh at?" ”

Wushuang said, "You don't know. These little ghosts can't hurt Xu Yu. The Hades in Hell can't do anything about it. ”

The adoptive father was stunned when he heard this: "Is this child burnt up?" Why are you still involved with Hades? ”

Wushuang looked at him helplessly: "Xu You, you really should communicate with your adoptive father." ”

I thought about it for a moment and asked my adoptive father: "Are the director of this orphanage, and the master who sweeps the floor, still there?" ”

The adoptive father shook his head: "It's been so long, they have already retired." ”

I asked my adoptive father, "Do you know where they live?" ”

The adoptive father nodded: "I know, I know, but it's just ......"

Seeing his hesitation, I asked him, "What's it?" ”

The adoptive father said, "It's just that they never see anyone." Except for close relatives and friends, the rest of the people were turned away. And our husband and wife have long been blacklisted by them. Once the two of us went to visit them, and not only did they not open the door, but they actually called the police. ”

I smiled helplessly: "Are you harassing them?" ”

The adoptive father also smiled wryly and did not speak.

Wushuang cheered me up: "Just because you can't see people at their house doesn't mean we can't see them." We are cultivators, and there is always some means to get him out. What's more, Xu You is the key to this matter, and I always feel that this mystery should be solved. Perhaps, right now. ”

The thin man nodded thoughtfully: "The dean and the master who sweeps the floor are indeed the key. However, I think there should be someone else besides the two of them. It has something to do with it. ”

I asked the skinny man, "Who?" ”

The thin man said, "You think." Your adoptive parents lost their children and knew to go to the orphanage to look for them. And what about the rest of the kids? And where are their parents? ”

"That's a real problem," said the adoptive father. We never heard of the parents of the rest of the children coming to find someone. This phenomenon made us hallucinate for a while, and we always felt that there was only one reason in the world, and those children were made up out of thin air by our insanity. ”

Wushuang looked around and said, "I can't see anything here." Looks like we'd better go back. Find the dean's house tomorrow and take him by surprise. ”

The abbot also yawned and said, "Yes, Xu You, it's midnight now, let's go back." ”

I nodded, "Okay." ”

I looked at my adoptive mother, who was sitting on the ground, and said to Wushuang, "Wushuang, help me hold her." ”

Wushuang nodded in agreement, then walked over and helped his adoptive mother up.

The adoptive mother followed us in a daze. Suddenly, I saw the incense, candles, paper money in my adoptive father's hand. She suddenly became excited, crying and snatching it. Trembling began to ignite.

The sloppy Taoist priest and the abbot tried to stop her. But I waved my hand and stood behind my adoptive father. Let her mourn her son.

I stood behind my adoptive mother, frowned, and silently said in my heart: "Those who look exactly like me, I don't know what you have to do with me. But I hope that when we meet again in the future, we will stop killing each other. ”

A few minutes later, the adoptive mother's memorial service was over. Then he cried and cried all the way home with us.

When I got home, I felt that the atmosphere was a little different from what it used to be.

The adoptive mother was certainly exhausted. I went back to my room and slept. And my adoptive father's attitude towards us, especially me, has changed a lot.

He began to entertain me warmly. I feel like my status in the home has risen from a stranger to a guest.

It was early in the morning, and we chatted a little before falling asleep.

I lay down on the couch in the living room and began to think crankily. I wonder if I'm the real Xu Yu. Thinking that he is going to see the dean tomorrow, will he tell the truth? Are we coercing or inducing?

That's what I thought. Then he fell asleep in a daze.

By the time I woke up again, it was already daylight. The adoptive father is having dinner with Wushuang and a few people, but the adoptive mother is not there.

My adoptive father seemed to know what I was wondering about. "She doesn't want to eat and she's still sleeping," he said. I guess I was too tired, too sad, and excited last night......"

I nodded. sighed. I want to go into my room and see my adoptive mother. But I thought about it, and even when I entered the house, I didn't know what to say. It's embarrassing, so forget it.

I asked my adoptive father, "Will you go with us when you go to the dean in a moment?" ”

The adoptive father nodded: "I'll go with you, but I can only take you downstairs to their house." The dean already knew me. As soon as I showed up, he would call the police. When the time comes, you won't be able to see him at all. ”

The abbot scolded: "This old thing is really stubborn. ”

After we finished eating, we listened to my adoptive father talk about the precautions for a while, and then locked the door and set off in a big way.

Half an hour later, we came to the bottom of a building.

My adoptive father said to us, "There are too many of us. Don't go up all of them, or you'll be suspicious. Send two representatives. ”

Wushuang looked at me and volunteered, "The two of us." ”

I nodded, "Okay." An orphanage director only. He doesn't know Taoism, so we don't need to be afraid of him. Wushuang and I should be able to deal with it. ”

The rest stayed downstairs to pick them up. Once we've got the dean done. They'll swarm in.

The adoptive father said that the director of the orphanage lived on the fifth floor. So we started to walk up the stairs slowly.

It's dark inside this hallway. Even if you walk in broad daylight, you have to grope a little bit.

Wushuang's voice echoed very loudly here, and she said, "Xu You, you don't think this corridor is a bit weird? Why is it so dark? If there is an old man living here, won't he fall down when he gets downstairs? ”

I nodded: "Who's to say it's not?" I looked around and pointed to the windows in the hallway and said, "Look, these windows are probably for lighting, but I don't know who they used to block this place with bricks." ”

Wushuang nodded: "Yes." It's weird. ”

We fumbled through the dark corridor for a while∵ and Wushuang asked me, "What floor is it now?" ”

I'm looking for house numbers. But that line was small. And it's already rusty. I took out Li Xiaoxing's mobile phone and took a photo.

By the light of my phone's screen, I looked at the door number. It reads: 602.

I said with annoyance, "We've walked through, this is the sixth floor, and we have to go down." ”

Wushuang was also so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she also had a lot of responsibility for this mistake, otherwise, with her sharp teeth, I am afraid that she would have to scold me and vomit blood.
