Chapter 2: Advent
Gradually, a tiny white dot appeared in the darkness, and slowly, the white dot grew bigger and bigger, and seemed to be endlessly radiating light in all directions. And this ever-increasing light seemed to spread to the fat man's side, until it enveloped the fat man's everything. Then, as if filled with consciousness, the light quickly dispelled the seemingly endless darkness around the fat man, and wrapped the fat man in a hurry towards the brightest place in the center. Eventually, the darkness slowly faded, and a dazzling light quickly pierced the fat man's eyes, imprinted in his momentarily dull mind.
Wow~Wow~ The shrill cry of the baby pierced the silence of the night.
And with the birth of the baby, the brief dullness of the crowd was replaced by a series of exclamations, "Madame gave birth! Madame gave birth!
But this moment of surprise did not affect the work order of the busy people in this quaint and solemn room, and after the delay of the momentary surprise, the people continued to do their work meticulously.
Consciousness finally slowly responded to the fat man's control, he opened his eyes with difficulty and slowly, trying to adapt to the light that was not strong, looking at the scene in front of him, the fat man's soul appeared momentary and confused, leaving only the instinctive cry still in his ears. "What's wrong with me? Where is this? Can anyone tell me where this is?" was the only thought left in the fat man's mind right now.
After a while, slowly calming down the surprise and doubts in his heart, the fat man's round little eyes rolled leisurely, looking at the huge crowd of people coming and going around him, he suddenly felt the strangeness of his body, and looked at his fleshy short hands and feet were swinging disorderly as if they were uncontrollably, and the fat man was surprised in his heart: "How did I become a baby now?
Suddenly, it seemed that something came to mind, "Did I cross over, or was I reborn?, what is the situation?Can anyone do this, tell me what is going on now!", but the questions in my heart could not be turned into words that could be heard, and all thoughts could only be drowned in my own seemingly endless crying. In this way, people continued to be busy with their work, and no one could perceive any of the thoughts in the mind of the little fat man who had just arrived.
The fat man worked hard for a long time, and did not pop out of his mouth a word, and finally could only accept the fact that he was defeated by reality, and the fat man at this moment could only think so helplessly: "Well, it seems that no one should be able to understand my "words", too, who can understand the meaning of a baby's cry and answer him accurately?. ”
However, the adult thinking in the fat man's body still eroded the helplessness and excitement of his moment after being reborn, and said to himself: "Goodbye, my past! I hope you live well!" With a little guilt, a little frustration, a little helplessness, and a little firmness.
After parting, they often have to face a new beginning, the fat man sincerely said goodbye to the past, finally cleaned up his mood, looked at the quaint ceiling in front of him, but unfortunately the past once again came to his heart, the pattern on the ceiling slowly dissolved, and the familiar and strange world seemed to appear in front of him again.
Knowing that he still couldn't let go of the past, the fat man simply dispelled his previous thoughts, and said to the past with melancholy and firmness: "Please don't worry about me anymore, I'm fine now." I have said goodbye to weakness, goodbye to blandness. Now, my story has just begun, and you have to give me a good life, please. ”
The fat man reorganized his views on the past, and in the face of the strange everything in the present, the fat man thought: "It may be a dead man's strong desire for life that allowed me to get this opportunity to write a new story, but I'm really sorry, my love!"
Where does the pale apology come from, and where does it go?
Retracting his slightly sad emotions, the fat man, who was curious about this new world, began to look around with difficulty, looking at the antique wooden building, the flickering candles flickering on and off, and faintly, the asphalt patch gold passion flower pattern in the blue drum on the ceiling came into view. The people around me were still busy, and countless questions lingered in their hearts for a long time: "Could it be that I really crossed over? But what kind of world is this now? Is it a certain dynasty? Where is this? Who can do it to help answer my question?" But the little resentment did not affect the busy crowd, even if it attracted their attention and made their movements a little sluggish.
Slowly, the fat man finally felt the strange atmosphere in the room, and secretly thought, "Why is it that the birth of a baby does not bring the joy I imagined, as if my cry is mixed with sad sobs? No, how do I feel that this little heart is a little stuffy, a little breathless! What's wrong?"
In order to seek the answer to the question, the fat man struggled with his little head and looked up at the source that could make people sad, only to see a weak woman like a willow helplessly sleeping on the bed, but the pale but difficult to hide the beautiful face tightly grasped the fat man's gaze and knocked on his heart.
Even the slightly gray face, which has lost its ruddy complexion, reveals the unearthly beauty of the woman in front of her. Her hair hung low, her eyebrows were bent, her eyes were a little hazy, she didn't apply powder, but she still had impeccable delicate features reflected in the candlelight, and her lips, which should have been enchanting, faded their color and hung on her somewhat gray goose egg face.
She couldn't wait to barely support her body with her pale softness, and then slowly leaned sideways against the edge of the bed. After she finished this series of movements with great difficulty, her breathing was slightly short, her breath was slightly short, and she was panting slightly, and the fine beads of sweat on her head gently rolled down her temples. But the woman didn't care about the fragrant sweat stains on her body at all, but gently raised her eyes and looked at the baby who was still in swaddling clothes. This gentle and loving gaze seems to be excited, urgent, tender, and helpless.
"Congratulations to Madame, Madame has given birth to a sturdy young master. The woman who was hugging the fat man said to her with some depression.
"Cough, cough, cough, is it true? Then hurry up and hug me, I want to take a good look at my child!" Hearing this, she said excitedly in the direction of the child.
"Yes, ma'am. ”
In this way, the woman who was holding the child slowly walked to the bedside. After walking to the bedside, the woman shook her arms and said to the baby in her arms, "Oh, oh, little master, open your eyes and see, this is your mother, isn't it beautiful." Then the woman squatted down slightly and gently handed the baby boy in her arms to his mother. The mother slowly stretched out her weak and boneless hands and took the slightly heavy baby boy with a slight trembling feeling, and then pressed him tightly to her chest, exclaiming, "This is my child?
Looking at the child in her arms, the woman's eyebrows seemed to be frowning, and the corners of her pale mouth hung a sincere smile, after a while, the short-term happiness on her face gradually faded, and a trace of sorrow slowly emerged, she sighed softly, smiled and said to him softly: "My little one, my good child, my mother feels so happy now, so happy, I am really happy to see you!"
"Is this my mother in this world, it's really beautiful! It's a familiar taste!" Seeing his mother's extremely happy appearance, the fat man's heart also fluttered together.
But at this time, a maid next to her sobbed slightly, and said hoarsely: "Yes, Mrs. Jiren has her own natural appearance, and now she is happy to get Lin'er, and she will definitely be good in the future! Madame will watch the little young master grow up in the future, and watch the little young master marry a wife and have children." ”
"Xiaoyu, don't talk nonsense at this time!" a slight but stern scolding followed, and the short and warm atmosphere that had just been just now washed away was quickly dissipated.
"Okay, don't say any more, I know my body, it's out of the way. ”
Looking at the sad appearance of the maids, the mother smiled slightly and comforted: "You don't have to be like this, I know that you are all thinking about me, thinking that the little master is good, okay, don't cry, aren't they all okay now?"
But a few words of comfort didn't help, and the soft sobs in the room didn't stop. Seeing this, the mother could only say helplessly: "That's it, the rest of the people should also step down, let me stay with my child for a while, I just want to see my child again, hug him again, and talk to him." The mother said blandly, and her ruddy face, which had been somewhat ruddy, was again covered by grayness.
"Yes, ma'am!"
Listening to his mother's words, the fat man's heart tightened, as if something important was about to disappear, and he quickly thought: "What the hell is going on, is it because my mother is not in good health? No, if they are not in good health, they will not say this, let alone be like this." Could it be that "layers of terrible haze began to cover the fat man's thoughts, and even more adhered to it and became lingering."
Then, everyone slowly retreated according to the order, and with a creak, the quaint wooden door made a deep sound. The faint flickering candle flame is still flickering, and in the lampshade, the hot wax oil is sliding silently, and the moment of frozen, the tears like crystal clear exude the temperature of dying. The flickering candles staggered on the ceiling, and it felt like the room was flickering and flickering, alternating between light and dark.
The mother's eyes facing the child slowly covered with wisps of mist, the frowning smoke between her eyebrows had long since melted, the thin lips of the silver teeth had regained a little rosiness, and the beauty that should have been there re-climbed her already delicate face. The delicate fingertips with a hint of coolness gently caressed the child's slightly wrinkled but fleshy face, and strands of hair hung low, and thin strands of hair crossed the child's cheeks.
The mother looked at the child in her arms and smiled and laughed softly, but the smiling face suddenly got closer and closer to the child, and the distance between the two became smaller and smaller, until they overlapped like a line between the sea and the sky. In this way, the mother's sudden bow made the fat man at a loss, and the crying with his eyes closed seemed to become an emergency response of the body at this moment.
But the funny thing is that the child's crying did not last long, maybe it was just a moment. The fat man who came back to his senses slowly opened his eyes, and his small gurgling eyes were looking for a place to receive his gaze, and the fleshy limbs that were now swinging seemed to dispel the residual warmth of the lip marks on his forehead. The noisy cry just now has long disappeared from the fat man's distant memory, and whether there is a cry just now may only be known by God.
"Giggles, my little one is so funny, so it can calm you down. "I heard my mother's hollow blue voice in my ears.
Looking at his mother's evil smile, the fat man used his shaky hands to express his strong dissatisfaction, but he was ruthlessly ignored by his mother as a dispensable action.
I don't know who said that the time of happiness is short-lived, and the picture that was very warm just now soon came to an abrupt end, and the mother quickly put away her short-term happy emotions, looked at the appearance of the fat man, and said softly: "Xiao Yiyi, your fleshy appearance is really cute, I really don't know what you will look like in the future, but looking at the way you look now, you will definitely have broad and hard shoulders and a warm and strong chest in the future." yes, my little one-one. ”
"You will definitely know what I will look like in the future, don't you want to watch me grow up, watch me marry and have children? You will definitely see it, definitely!" Even a person as dull as the fat man listened to his mother's melancholy words and knew what bad things were going to happen next, but the sad thing is that he can't do anything now, he can only look at his mother like this, and protest against the unjust fate with unwilling crying.
"Okay, okay, my little Yiyi, why are you crying again? Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry, good, Xiao Yiyi, do you want your mother to kiss you again, you little meat. ”
The mother's complaining smile and gentle comfort did not coax her child, but the cry that she thought would be endless was extinguished under the mother's palm.
"Yes, Xiao Yiyi is so well-behaved, mom doesn't like a crying child, if you keep being obedient like this, mom will reward you in the future, you know?" However, the continuous coaxing did not drive away the haze in the fat man's heart.
The short calm was slowly eroded away by the candlelight, and the mother's hands hugged the child tighter, and she looked at him in a daze, and then said leisurely: "My little one, good boy, let me take a good look at you, let me remember your appearance, your voice, and the temperature of your body." Xiao Yiyi, do you know, my mother fell in love with someone in her life, loved this person very much, but also owed this person, but my mother will soon go to him, he is your father. Little Yiyi, you don't have to worry, Mom is just going to a far away place, it's a place full of happiness! Your father will take good care of me, and Mom will come back with Dad often to see you when she has time in the future, you are not allowed to be naughty, you know?"
"No!no!, it's not like this, it's not like this!" Listening to his mother's words, the fat man's heart continued to struggle, and his thinking began to become even more chaotic.
"Xiao Yiyi, it's really my mother who is sorry for you, my mother can't accompany you well in the future, my mother really wants to hear you call me "Mom", I really want to watch you eat your first bite of food, I really want to watch you crawl on the ground, it seems to watch you walk by yourself for the first time, I really want to play with you, cry together, laugh together, make trouble together, Mom really wants to grow up with my little one!"
"Mommy, Mommy, I'm calling you, can you hear me, Mommy!" all the words in the fat man's heart at this time could only merge into a more powerful cry.
Gradually, a warm and cool wetness suddenly came from the fat man's fleshy cheeks, and there was some sweet and sour taste in his small mouth. Mother's tears fell heavily on his skin and smashed into his heart.
"Mom really wants to see you marry and have children, start a family, and really want to do a lot of things with my little one! But Mom has to leave, to go far, far away to find your father, and fulfill the promise I made when you and your father were young. I'm sorry, my little one. The mother sobbed softly.
"You have to remember that you must listen to your grandparents well in the future, don't be naughty to the elderly, respect your grandparents, and be good to your grandparents. In the future, you must remember to eat well at every meal, you can't eat indiscriminately, it's not good for your health, and you can't be petty and skip eating, because you will starve yourself and you won't grow tall. You have to grow up quickly, and let your mother see what you will be like in the future. Mom hopes that you will be like your father in the future, with a strong back and a strong chest, to be a man who stands up to the sky, can dispel the darkness that is constantly spreading in this world, and bring a new dawn to this world. ”
"In the future, if you find someone who really loves you, you must treat others well, and you can't let people be bullied, otherwise your father and I will be unhappy, remember to come and see your mother and father together after you find it, you know?"
"I know! I know everything! Don't you go! Mom, don't leave me, okay! Mom! Can you hear me! Can you hear Xiao Yiyi's speech!" The constant roar in his heart could only be exchanged for a high-decibel cry, and the sharp cry washed away the quiet night sky.
The sudden outpouring of family bonds from the bottom of his heart kept entangled, tearing at the fat man's soul, impacting his brain, "Why! Why is this! I don't want it!" Looking at his mother, whose blood color was fading rapidly, the fat man who had lost his mind kept roaring in his heart, and at this moment, the heavy eyelids closed his eyes again and again.
"How are Ling'er and my good grandson?" the old, heavy voice burst through the door, echoing in the fat man's ears before his consciousness stopped.
