008, reunion
When he shouted the word "mother" again, Fang Shi's undulating mood quickly calmed down, perhaps he was relieved at the moment of staring at each other.
With tears and great excitement the woman hugged her son, whom she had not seen for five years, and at this moment she seemed unable to express anything in words, as if only tears could release the pent-up emotions.
Fang Shi did not resist, let his mother hold him, just like he was a baby many years ago, and felt his mother's warmth again. As he grew up, he could already understand why his mother chose to marry another man, and under that difficult condition, it was not easy for a woman to raise two minor children.
After ten minutes, the woman calmed down a little, invited Fang Shi into the wooden house, and comforted the little boy who seemed to be crying very sadly. The house was very simple, with only some rough furniture, and it was obvious that my mother's life was quite hard.
Breakfast consisted of porridge and pickles, and the woman held the little boy in one hand and carefully fed it with the other. The little boy was clutching his mother, staring at Fang Shi with wide eyes, full of hostility, as if his mother around him might be snatched away by the "bad guy" in front of him at any time.
In a simple conversation of one question and one answer, Fang Shi briefly recounted the events of the past five years. Hearing that her son was already an employee of a large company in the Central Star District, the woman couldn't help but smile a little more. However, soon her face was shrouded in deep self-blame, and her eyes were full of tears, because the topic of the two shifted to Fang Anxu.
Through the mother's narration. Fang Shi was clearer about what happened to Ansu, the woman in front of her obviously didn't know that her daughter had been sold by the seemingly honest man, but had just disappeared, and that was what happened about three months before she was pregnant.
Fang Shi didn't tell his mother the truth, in fact, his heart was very complicated, according to his mother's words, the man named Li Quan treated her very well, although the life was poorer, but the family was still happy. He knew that telling his mother the truth would be another great mental devastation, which was not something he wanted to see, and that she still had a four-year-old child.
Around noon. Fang Shi left the thirteenth slum. I went to the central part of the city. At five o'clock in the afternoon, he returned to the wooden house at No. 2695 in the thirteenth district and handed a star card to his mother. The Star Card is one of the most common savings cards issued by Imperial Financial Institutions. Fang Shi stored 30,000 Star Luo coins in Xiangxing Card, which was the only thing he felt he could do for his mother at the moment. 30,000 Star Coins. Not much, though. But it should improve her current living situation a little.
Seven o'clock in the evening. Li Quan returned home, his face full of exhaustion, when he saw the young man sitting in the house. His expression froze for a moment, but he soon showed a rather honest smile again, and said words that seemed to be very welcome.
Fang Shi's face always remained calm, looking at this middle-aged man who looked honest and honest on the outside, he did flash a hint of seeping coldness in his initial gaze, wanting to be her sister An Su, the anger in his heart instinctively spread out at that moment, but he still tried his best to control it, after all, he didn't want to do anything excessive in front of his mother.
The dinner was very hearty, and most of it was Fang Shi's favorite. Those familiar flavors did make Fang Shi nostalgic, but it was a pity that the people who were eating now were already different.
After the meal, when his mother was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Fang Shi glanced at Li Quan and said calmly: "Uncle Quan, there is something I want to talk to you about alone, how about finding a quiet place?" ”
Li Quan was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he still nodded quickly.
Soon, the two of them left the wooden house and walked to the top of the hill-like terrain of the slums, which was a small quiet woodland.
Walking under a dimly lit tree, Fang Shi's footsteps slowed down, and he said with a slight chill in his tone: "That's it." ”
Li Quandao didn't object to anything, along the way, he was already uneasy in his heart, from Fang Shi's expression and tone, he found that the other party seemed to have noticed something, and the only thing that made him feel guilty was the incident four years ago.
Fang Shi turned around, with a hint of anger in his eyes, and said coldly, "I'll talk to you about An Su." ”
Li Quan's heart sank, but he nodded stiffly on the surface.
Fang Shi asked, "Is she really missing?" ”
"This ......," Li Quan squeaked and spat out two words.
Fang Shi asked, "Is it?" ”
Li Quanquan showed some trepidation, and seemed to have luck in his heart, and replied: "No......"
"Boom!"
Li Quancai spat out a word, and a fist slammed into his abdomen with lightning speed, and his face immediately showed some distorted pain.
This punch, Fang Shi was very hard, and there was anger in his fist.
Li Quan held his stomach, half-bowed, looked at Fang Shi, and stammered, "You...... You're ...... Got it all! ”
"Hmph, if you don't want people to know unless you do it, since you did it, why don't you dare to admit it? 5,000 Star Luo, you will sell my sister! Fang Shi's tone was filled with anger and hatred.
"I ......"
Li Quan seemed to want to say something, but Fang Shi's fist was faster.
Another angry fist smashed on Li's body, this time Li Quan was directly knocked down, curled up on the ground, holding his stomach with one hand, panting heavily, and making a vomiting posture, obviously Fang Shi's two fists were not light.
However, Fang Shi did not stop there, but quickly kicked more than ten kicks in a row. Li Quan didn't have the slightest intention of dodging, holding his head and letting Fang Shi punch his feet back, and only let out a few muffled snorts in his mouth.
After more than ten feet in a row, the anger in Fang Shi's heart seemed to ease a little, and at the same time, thinking of his mother, he didn't bother to do it anymore, although he wanted to beat this person to death directly, but this world is not a freewheeling world after all, and there are many realistic restrictions and constraints.
Li Quan lay on the ground for ten minutes before struggling to get up, looked at Fang Shi, and said with guilt: "Yes...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you, I was also forced to be helpless, when I first arrived at H3, I didn't have any income, I could only do some odd manual work, the income was meager, and your mother was pregnant again, so I was helpless, I ......"
"Well, I don't have much time to listen to you, and since my mother has made a choice, then you should treat her well." Fang Shi snorted lightly and hurried away.
Later, Fang Shi returned to the wooden house to leave his mother's contact information, and left the slum in the west of the city. (To be continued......)
PS: It seems to be a bit of a sense of death, and I'll be back soon!! Don't abandon it!!
