Chapter 4: No Way Home (1)
A woman in a black and white dress probed into the house: "Your parents are not there?" Don't you welcome me? ”
Xiao Yu stood at the door stupidly, wondering who this person was, but he couldn't be rude: "Please come in, may I ask who you are?" ”
"He's my son, who do you say I am?"
His heart was pounding and beating hard, and Xiao Yu asked uncertainly, "Are you Grandma Xia?" ”
I didn't expect my uncle's mother to be so young and tough, and her words, deeds and appearance made people unimaginable her age. At this moment, I finally understood why my uncle seemed uneasy when she talked about her.
"Don't call me grandma, your whole family has kept me in your bones. Do you think that if I don't tell the truth, I won't know? Like a flood filling the trough, Wang Zhen burst open the embankment, roared, and poured unstoppably into the hall.
"What truth? Grandma Xia, I don't quite understand what you mean. ”
"What are you pretending to be, you've already left, what are you doing back? Adoptive parents have raised you for more than ten years, and you have fallen to the point where you are now? Wang Zhen seemed to have been rehearsed, and his voice was louder than the other.
Every word hit his eardrums, and he stood on the ground as if he had lost his soul, leaning weakly against the white wall: "Am I not just here to study?" ”
"Haha...... Is there a free lunch in the world......"
The other party roared like a tiger, and he couldn't hear a word in his whisper, so he felt standing on the ice and trembling all over; It was as if he had entered a black hole, surrounded by roaring man-eating monsters, unable to even cry out in fear, not a single tear.
After the woman left, Xiao Yu thought about it from the beginning, just like they said business, there is no benefit who is willing to pay. She took her backpack and dragged her suitcase out of the house, and stood at the door for a few minutes when the door slammed shut.
Walking on the endless road, there is no way for her to go home except for the road and the road. Here, there is not a single classmate, not a single friend, and not a single relative who feels like a relative. She suddenly finds herself with nothing left in this world but loneliness and helplessness.
Walking down the street, feeling for the money in her pocket, in order to see the sunshine tomorrow, she decided to find a cheaper hotel. Went to N houses, and the price of each house was too expensive for her to pay. Although you can cope with it in a day or two, what about it after two days?
When she arrived at the intersection, her eyes suddenly lit up, and a restaurant recruited waiters, thinking that restaurants would generally provide food and lodging, so that she would not have to worry about eating and sleeping. Her eyes lit up at the restaurant, and she walked in with the guts: "Hello! Do you have a waiter here? ”
The girl at the front desk looked at the visitor and said softly, "I'm sorry, we don't recruit minors here." ”
Xiaoyu couldn't cry or laugh a little, and quickly explained: "Sister, I graduated from junior high school, I come from the countryside, I can do anything, wash dishes, clean the table, side dishes, cut vegetables, and stir-fry, can you give me a chance?" ”
Despite her passionate prayers, the other party still politely refused, and she had no choice but to walk out of the restaurant: she can't even be a waiter, what else can she do?
She walked and walked to a park, sat down in the lotus pond, and suddenly saw a bright moon slowly hanging on one side of the sky, the lotus flowers were conspicuous and beautiful by the moonlight, and the pond water was crystal clear.
When she came to her senses, she realized that it was a hallucination.
Picking up her luggage and walking out of the park, there were fewer pedestrians on the road, and she thought that the hotel near the school was relatively safe and cheaper, so she walked to a university.
When she arrived at places with a large number of students, she began to pay attention to the hotels on the roadside and in the alleys, according to them, the hotels on the roadside were usually more expensive than the ones in the alleys because of their location. There are quite a few hotels in the alley, one after another, and there may be a lot of competition, and the hotels all put the price list in front of the door or put up a sign.
Based on these price lists, she chose the one with the most competitive price. When she walked in, she felt like a mouse, and after three or four prayers, the owner of the accommodation finally gave a concession of 10 yuan.
She left her luggage in the hotel, then went to the fast food restaurant near the school and ordered a random side dish to solve the hungry stomach. Then I went straight to school, and when I thought about the next days, my head was bigger than the school.
Inadvertently arrived at the stadium, the concrete benches on the field were full of people, she found a place with grass to sit down, the stones and soil were dried all day during the day, each emitting a kind of heat, and there was the smell of earth in the air, and the smell of grass and trees.
……
"Xiaoyu, look at what your uncle has brought." After screaming for a long time, there was no sound, and there was no figure, Xia Xiongwei hurriedly ran up to the second floor to open the room, dumbfounded.
It turns out that all this is an illusion, I don't know how to face you, I don't know how to face myself, please allow me to leave for a while, I need to be quiet. Don't worry about me, I'll take care of myself. Good bye!
After reading the message, he slammed the door shut, ran downstairs, took out his mobile phone and called his wife: "Xiaoyu ran away from home." ”
"What? What happened? Jia Yun panicked, what's going on, what's going on?
"No babysitter in sight."
Secretly observing Jia Yun's reflection, Wang Zhen thought: Against me, you are still tender, don't let my old bones have a good time, and never let you have a good time.
Jia Yun was so anxious that he ran out of the villa and drove towards the Lotus Community, "Majestic, hurry up and look around, be careful, I'll go over." She told herself: you can't make mistakes, you have to be calm, you have to be calm.
Xiaoyu didn't contact Jing'er, Xia Xiongwei wanted to go crazy, and the feeling of powerlessness over the years sprung up like a spring, and he was very careful, but in the end there was a loophole.
Walking quickly on his legs, his eyes shooting around, and his heart was on fire, he didn't dare to imagine what was going to happen next, so he had to keep himself busy.
……
Walking along the road to the university, there are flowers and greenery on the roadside, and if you are not rational, you will stop and stand there to admire it, and forget the way forward. The sky gradually darkened, and Xiao Yu felt that the night was so terrible and cruel for the first time.
On this quiet concrete road, no one passes by, and there is a little more eerie feeling. She clenched her fists, looked at her watch, and hurried to speed up, thinking that there would always be something unexpected outside, and that there would be no accident when she locked herself in her room.
She walked into the hotel and happened to meet two dyed boys checking in, and their scrutiny of her made her heart beat even more. Even though I walked with my head down, I could still feel those eyes.
After entering the room, she locked the door, moved the table and stool to block the door, and double-checked it again and again before she entered the bathroom to take a shower.
……
Mojia Village, big night.
"Kuroko, why does my right eyelid always jump, you can't do anything with Xiaoyu, right?" Jiang Yiqing, who was lying on the bed, asked her husband who was sleeping beside her.
"What can happen, since Xiaoyu went to the city, you are always flustered." After a day's work, Mo Dayi already felt weak, "Rest early, I have to get up early tomorrow." ”
"I'm weird in my heart, I always feel like something is happening."
"What a multi-hearted worm, Xiaoyu is a sensible child, what can he do." Mo Dayi sat up and turned on the light, "If you don't feel at ease, make a phone call and ask." ”
Jiang Yiqing got up, picked up the phone, and thought for a while: "Forget it, it's okay, maybe it will cause Xiaoyu to think about something." ”
"Then it's time to sleep."
……
"You are a child that no one wants, an ugly duckling who looks very ugly, how can you be my granddaughter, do you think that when you go back to the city, you will never have to live a hard life again? Dream of it, as long as I exist, you don't want to live a life as you wish. Haha......"
"Go back to where you came from, and don't have any more ridiculous thoughts......"
"Your adoptive parents are really good at calculating, knowing that my son is worth a good amount now, so they will send you back, what kind of good thoughts can you have under their education......"
"This is not for you, you go back to where you came from......"
Awakened by a terrible voice, Xiao Yu sat up weakly and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Old witch let me go, I have been forced to a desperate situation by you." ”
……
Xia Xiongwei drove the car into the garage and hereby advised: "Yunduo, you first slow down, slow down, pretend to be normal, don't leak flaws, I don't know who revealed this matter, you have to endure it for the time being." There are soldiers to block, water to cover, there will always be a way. ”
"I'm not so confused."
As soon as the two of them entered the door, they heard Wang Zhen's unforgiving tone: "It's a coincidence today, you have a party together?" ”
Hearing such a question, Jia Yun almost couldn't control herself, if it wasn't for her husband grabbing her hand, I don't know if she would have roared like a big lion.
Xia Xiongwei smiled reluctantly: "Mom, you rest early, let's go upstairs first." ”
Wang Zhen's face was a little gloomy: "Just go to sleep, a handful of old bones, can't stand the toss, unlike you with iron bones." ”
"So you have to rest early." Jia Yun said angrily, walked upstairs directly, and glanced back at her mother-in-law who hated and gritted her teeth.
Entering the room, Xia Xiongwei lit a cigarette: "Yunduo, don't be too anxious, Xiaoyu can't accept the truth for a while, I believe that she will definitely come back after this time." ”
"This matter is so well concealed, and even Dong'er didn't tell it, who would know?" Jia Yun suddenly remembered something, "It can't be your mother, right?" ”
"Probably not, she has no reason to whisper." Speaking of Xia Xiongwei, she was also very suspicious, and from the whole incident, only she was the most unhappy to go home. The two refused to have another son, and the old man has always been obsessed, if it wasn't for what she said, wouldn't it be a self-defeating move? Even if Xiaoyu is found through her, Xiaoyu's life may not be easy, to be precise, the family is not at peace.
"Don't be jealous, my heart is tired and hurt, I hope my little language is good, good." After speaking, Jia Yun sat on the ground and meditated, she often woke up in dreams over the years, and later met a friend who believed in Buddhism, and was surprised to find that chanting scriptures and worshipping Buddha could soothe her restless heart.
……
Xiao Yu heard a gentle knock on the door, covered her head with a quilt, and covered her ears with her hands, but the knock on the door became louder and louder, and she was very scared, and she had never been so afraid. Suddenly, a devilish face appeared in front of her eyes, and she was screaming loudly, and she was so frightened that she had nowhere to run.
Whew, the face rushed under her nose, and she woke up from her dream even more frightened, touched her sweaty forehead with her right hand, and looked around again, the room was dark, turned on the light, and the knocking on the door had stopped.
It turned out to be a dream, but fortunately it was a dream.
I don't know when I fell asleep, and there was a knock on the door again, fast and urgent, like the sound of Japanese devils entering the village. After a whole night of intermittent dreams, I was tormented so much that Xiaoyu's bones were about to fall apart, and at this time I deeply realized: Fortunately, a pair of good parents have had a good dream for thirteen years!
Mojia Village can't go back, so you can only survive on your own.
……
"Majestic, my heart is very flustered, especially panicked." Jia Yun, who was lying on the bed, sat up suddenly and dialed Tan Jing's number, "Jing'er, has Xiaoyu come back?" ”
"Auntie, I'm sleeping on the sofa, and I'll let you know as soon as there is news."
"Okay, you rest."
Hearing his wife's coughing voice, Xia Xiongwei immediately extinguished the cigarette butt: "Sleep, I will arrange for Xiaoliang and Brother Guanghui to find it." ”
"Tell them to be very careful."
"I'm here, don't be afraid!" Xia Xiongwei then lay down, no matter how hard and tired he was, he couldn't bear to cry, but he wanted to cry at the moment.
