Chapter 35: The Past (1)

Qiushui was carrying a schoolbag, jumping up and down, and was walking on the way home. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Yo, the autumn water is back. "In the narrow alley, an old man was lighting a fire. As soon as he saw Qiushui, the old man stopped what he was doing and beckoned to him.

"Uncle Wang!" Qiushui shouted enthusiastically. This Uncle Wang is a neighbor of Qiushui's family, and he usually stuffs Qiushui with some food, and often invites Qiushui's family to eat during the New Year's Festival, so Qiushui likes him very much.

"Come inside, your mother has been busy in the kitchen for a long time, and I can smell the smell outside. Uncle Wang said with a smile. Qiushui listened to it, and hurriedly took a sip hard, and sure enough, there was a rich aroma of meat. So he hurried to the door of the house and pushed it open.

Dad was sitting in the living room, holding a pot of tea in his hand, and when he saw Qiushui come back, he had a kind smile on his face. There was a long flat pole on the ground, and the baskets containing vegetables were resting at both ends, which were empty at the moment, and it seemed that business was good today. Qiushui put down her schoolbag, threw herself into her father's arms, and coquettishly got up there.

"How old are you, are you ashamed?" Dad hooked Qiushui's nose and asked, "How is it, what did you learn in school today?"

"Nothing. But today the class held a running competition, and I won the first place, and the teacher even awarded me a duckling!"

"Yo, you kid, I didn't expect it to be quite powerful. Dad said in an approving tone. At this time, my mother brought out a few pots of hot dishes from the kitchen, put them on the dining table, and then turned to them and said, "You two will talk later, the meal is ready, let's try it first." ”

Qiushui smelled the fragrance, jumped out of his father's arms, ran to the table in a few steps, picked up the chopsticks and put a mouthful of food in his mouth. Dad stood up, took a jar of old wine from the cabinet, scooped a spoonful from it and added it to the bowl, and said to Qiushui, "Do you want to try this, it's delicious." Qiushui looked at his father suspiciously, and gently took a sip of his tongue in the bowl.

"Vomit, vomit, it's so bad. Qiushui stuck out his tongue, and his whole face was wrinkled together.

"Don't tease the kids. At this time, my mother also sat down. The family happily ate side dishes and told interesting things that happened during the day, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. It was an ordinary night for Qiushui.

Late that night, the moon was already hanging high overhead, and after a busy day of work, every family in Blackwater City had already fallen asleep.

"Open the door, it's not good!" a quick knock sounded in his ears, waking Qiushui from his sleep. He vaguely heard his father shouting outside, "Who?"

"It's me, Wang. A voice outside the room said. After a while, there was the sound of the door opening in the living room.

"Uncle Wang, it's so late, is there something wrong?"

"Master Qiu, there is news from outside the city, saying that there are traces of the appearance of the black-clothed organization. The convoy was on the way, but the far water could not save the fire, and everyone began to flee for their lives. I'll tell you, hurry up and pack up, and take refuge outside the city.

There was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the window, which disturbed Qiushui a little upset. After a long silence, Dad went into the room, lit the candle, and said to him, "Son, bad guys are coming, and we have to hide." ”

"What kind of bad guy?" Qiushui hadn't woken up yet, and the whole person was a little confused, lying on the bed and refusing to get up. Dad had no choice but to pick up Qiushui, hurriedly set up some things with his mother, and then went out and fled out of the city with the group.

"Oh, my duckling!" had just run to the city gate, when Qiushui suddenly came to his senses, and shouted there to go back and fetch the duckling.

"Good boy, we'll be back soon, and the ducklings won't run away on their own. The mother comforted her, but Qiushui didn't listen, crying and screaming to go back, saying that the bad guys would snatch the ducklings away.

"Anyway, it's just a while, or let's go back, I can't see the ducklings in this autumn water, and my heart is not steady. Mom and Dad discussed. Thinking about it, Dad nodded.

So they turned around and went back to the city. At this time, there was silence in the city, and it seemed that all the people in the city had run away, leaving only an empty shell there. Qiushui entered the house and ran towards the living room. Seeing that the duckling was still in the box, I was relieved.

"Alright, hurry up and take the ducklings with you. As he spoke, Dad was about to open the door when he heard footsteps coming from the street.

"Shhhhh Mom held Qiushui in her arms and blocked his mouth with one hand. Only the footsteps outside the door were heard getting closer and closer, and the nearby houses were opened one by one, and soon they were next door.

Dad turned his head and gestured to his mother. His mother picked up Qiushui in understanding, trotted to the bedroom, opened the cabinet where the clothes were hung, put Qiushui inside, and then said to him, "Child, be good, no matter what happens or what you hear, don't come out." Be obedient, be with the ducklings, and don't make a sound. ”

Qiushui didn't realize what was going on at the time, and looked at her mother's serious expression, so she nodded.

Then the cabinet door was closed. Immediately afterward, the sound of the door being kicked open was heard. Qiushui was very obedient, stayed in the closet all the time, did not say a word, and the little duck in his hand also lay quietly in his hand, without making a sound.

Memories are like a movie, quickly scribbling through Qiushui's mind. He remembered that it was the last time he saw his parents, and that when he was found in the closet the next day, he saw the living room splattered with blood that had not yet dried up. Uncle Wang said to him with a sad face: "Qiushui, your parents have gone far away, and I will take care of you from now on." ”

Qiushui didn't ask where his parents went, just nodded silently and moved to Uncle Wang's house. A few years later, Uncle Wang also passed away, and since then, Qiushui has no relatives in this world.

Qiushui could feel his face wet. He slowly opened his eyes and found himself standing in a familiar alley.

"Where am I?" Qiushui looked around carefully, and suddenly reacted: "Isn't this Blackwater City, how could I be here?" He walked slowly forward, stopping when he passed a small bungalow. He stepped forward and reached out and gently touched the door. This is his home, a place full of memories. He tried to push inside, but found that the door was unlocked, and it was hidden.

"Did you enter the thief?" Qiushui thought to himself, but for some reason, he didn't dare to push the door open, and just stood there stunned. Since his parents died, he hadn't set foot in the house again. In the depths of his heart, he always felt that he had killed his parents. After Uncle Wang's death, he would rather wander outside all day long, relying on abduction and stealing to get enough to eat, rather than return here. Now, for some reason, he is standing in front of this door again.

"Is there anyone out there, come in. Suddenly, a voice came from inside. This voice is so familiar, and yet so unfamiliar, it is the voice that Qiushui has heard in countless nights in his dreams. He didn't hesitate any longer, and gently pushed open the door, only to see two people sitting inside, looking at him with a smile on their faces.

"Mom, Dad, I'm back. ”
