Chapter 38: Waking Up (1)

"Qiushui, I haven't seen you for so many years, you have grown up, and you look a lot more handsome. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Dad touched Qiushui's head and said with relief. Mom stood up, poured tea for the two of them, and said with a smile: "This kid, when he was a child, he looked like me, white and tender, but now he looks more and more like his father." ”

"Mom and Dad, why are you here?" Qiushui asked suspiciously, taking the tea.

"We don't know, but when we realize it, it's here. Why, don't you want to see us?"

Qiushui hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, in the past ten years, there has not been a day when the child has not missed his parents, and there has not been a day when he has not prayed for his parents to come back to me." It's just that after so many years, prayers have never worked, and now when we see each other again, I can't believe my eyes. As he spoke, his eyes moistened. In the past ten years, Qiushui has no one to rely on, especially after Uncle Wang's death, even finding someone to talk to in his heart has become a luxury. Although he looks very arrogant on weekdays, but at this moment, in front of his parents, the cowardice hidden in his heart is suddenly exposed.

Mom grabbed Qiushui's hand and looked at him kindly: "It's all to blame for my parents, who left too early and couldn't take good care of you." ”

"No, it's me who is bad. If it weren't for me being too willful, you wouldn't have ......" Qiushui was interrupted by his father before he finished speaking.

Dad waved his hand and asked him, "How is the duckling?"

"Released. Qiushui wiped his eyes and whispered.

Dad nodded, and then asked, "What about Uncle Wang?"

"After a few years, he fell ill and died. ”

Mom began to sobb softly there, and Dad patted Qiushui on the shoulder and sighed: "I have wronged you by leaving you alone for the past few years." It's us parents who don't fulfill our responsibilities. ”

The surroundings quieted down, and Qiu Shui saw that the atmosphere seemed a little dignified, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Mom, Dad, do you know, now I and a few friends are heading to Rain City together!"

"Oh, Rain City, that's a long way away, what are you going to do there?" Dad looked at Qiushui with interest.

"Of course, join the escort team, kill all the black-clothed organizations, and avenge your parents!" Qiushui said with a resolute face.

"But can you handle the hardships of the road?" asked my mother worriedly.

"No problem, I'm not the bragging kid I was when I was a kid. Besides, the people around me now are all very powerful characters. One is the eldest lady of Red Rock City, who is first-class in terms of strength, and has saved me from danger several times. There is also a guy named Zhu Jue, who came from a very strange place, and he took care of him all the way. And his strength has also improved a lot recently, but he is not much inferior to me. Mom and Dad, don't worry!" At the mention of his small team, Qiushui couldn't help but show a proud expression on his face.

"Well, well, when young people reach a certain age, they should go out and break through. Your mother and I have the biggest regret in our lives is that we couldn't get out of Blackwater City and go out to see the outside world. You are better than us, if you have something to do in the future, you still have to make some contributions to your hometown. Dad nodded with satisfaction, and Mom's face was better, but her eyes were still red.

"Qiushui, it's not too early, you should go back. After a short silence, Dad suddenly said to Qiushui.

"No, I don't. For more than ten years, I have been looking forward to the stars and the moon and hoping to see you again, how can I just leave now?" Qiushui shook his head there, looking determined not to leave.

"You stupid boy. Dad turned his head and said to Qiushui's mother, "Daughter-in-law, go and bring the wine hidden in the house." Mother stood up, walked to the cupboard, took a jug of wine from it, and put it on the table.

"Boy, how many drinks can I have now?" Dad opened the sealed lid, and suddenly a strong smell of aged wine spread through the room. Qiushui nodded. Dad picked up the flask, added himself and Qiushui's glass, and then raised the glass to Qiushui and said, "I, ah, have always had a wish, that is, one day when the child grows up, he can drink a few glasses with me." As he spoke, he poured the wine from his glass into his stomach in one gulp. Qiushui hesitated, but also raised the wine glass with both hands, followed his father's example, and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Ahem, cough, this wine is really choking. "As soon as the wine was drunk, I felt a burst of heat in my throat. Qiushui was coughing there, and his snot was choking.

"It seems that you haven't made much progress in this area over the years. Dad smiled and added another glass of wine to himself.

"That's not necessarily, go on!" Qiushui said unconvincedly, and at the same time took the flask and filled it for himself. In this way, the father and son began to fight the wine there. As they drank, they talked about their childhood. Dad kept complaining that Qiushui was too naughty when he was a child, and he didn't cause trouble for the family. Qiushui retorted over there that his father always went out to gamble and came back late for dinner, so he and his mother were hungry and waiting for him at home. The two of you say a word to me, and for a while they are no different from brothers. And the mother was on the side, quietly watching the autumn water, looking at the children who had grown up, and it seemed that she would never get enough.

After more than a dozen glasses of wine, Qiushui couldn't hold it anymore, his face was red from the root of his ears to his neck, and finally he staggered to the table.

"This kid is obviously not good at drinking, but he still insists on being strong. Dad looked at Qiushui, shook his head with a smile, and then turned to his mother and said, "Let's go, when the child wakes up, we won't be able to leave." ”

"I haven't seen him for so many years, so let me watch the child for a while. Mom walked up to Qiushui and gently stroked his face with her hand, and said in a trembling voice.

"Alas, you, just too reluctant to have children. You don't know what kind of place this is, but the child stays here all the time, and it doesn't do him any good. Qiushui's father sighed, also walked to Qiushui's side, and stroked his back with his hand: "The child is older and can take care of himself." Let's not worry about it. ”

Mom kept shedding tears and was reluctant to leave. Seeing this, Qiushui's father had no choice but to gently pull her away, comforting her while urging: "Let's go, it's not too early." ”

Qiushui's mother seemed to have finally made up her mind, turned around, and slowly walked out of the house with his father.

"Dad, Mom, don't go, don't go......" Qiushui suddenly said in his mouth. The two of them had already walked to the door, and when they heard the voice, their bodies were stunned for a moment. When they looked back, they saw that Qiushui was still lying there, not waking up, as if he was just talking in his sleep.

"Let's go. Dad patted Qiushui's mother, who was already crying silently, and opened the door of the house. The moment his feet stepped out of the threshold, he saw that the old man was already full of tears.
