Chapter 17: A Warm Reunion
Jiang Cheng snorted coldly and left here.
Two or three minutes after everyone left, I crawled out from under the bed, patted the dust on my body, and walked to Liu Qiao's side.
She looked at me and burst into tears, as if she felt sorry for me.
Gently wiped away his tears and took her into his arms.
"I'm sorry for the trouble!"
An apology arose.
"I believe you didn't kill anyone!" Liu Qiao grabbed the corner of my clothes, "Hurry up and escape!" ”
After I comforted Liu Qiao, I changed into a black T-shirt, put on a hat and a mask and prepared to leave.
"Take care of yourself!"
Looking at liu qiao, and then thinking back to the past, my hatred for her, I felt that the world was impermanent, and I had a lot of words in my throat, but
Now I could only nod my head and give her a smile back.
"I'll see you again in the future!"
..........
The moon crept up into the sky, and today the moon is somewhat round.
The branches of the trees on the side of the street are also lit up with lights, and from time to time a few moon lotuses float on the surface of the lake, and the moon lotus carries a few oil lamps on it.
The roadside vendors began to call,
"Fresh mooncakes!"
"Boss, why don't you buy some mooncakes? Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival! You have to ask for a good fortune during the holidays! ”
I only realized at this time that it was already the Mid-Autumn Festival.
After I left three years ago, I never saw my parents again.
I gritted my teeth and decided to go home before fleeing.
But in my current condition, it was almost impossible to take the car home, so I had to walk back on foot.
I walked to the ATM on the side of the road, took out a little money with Liu Qiao's bank card, bought some mooncakes, and set foot on the way home.
In recent years, the economy has developed rapidly, and the yellow mud road in the town has been built into a winding cement road.
"Go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival?!"
A middle-aged uncle on the side of the road stopped me.
Maybe he saw me holding a gift in his left and right hands, and said with a smile, "There are not many children like you who are so filial!" Get in the car! Uncle will give you a ride. ”
"Uncle, I'll be there soon, you go first!" I shook my head and refused, "I also want to see the development of my hometown over the years." ”
In my current situation, I still try to minimize contact with people.
When the uncle saw that I refused, he stopped pressing.
I walked along the road like this, until the moon went down and rose, and I came to a hillside.
In front of me is my hometown, but there is no cement road in front of me, a tactful yellow mud mountain road, full of shoe prints.
There is no protective measure in the surrounding area, and even if a young person slips, a layer of skin will be lost.
So in the absence of light, few people will walk on this path.
I embarked on the road back to my hometown with the moonlight, and Xiaoya seemed to be everywhere along the way.
"Brother! Look at the sunflowers! ”
"Brother, brother! Is Xiaoya beautiful today? ”
The delicate face is like a porcelain doll, and a bouquet of rape flowers is pinned to the ear.
"Brother! Xiaoya knocked over your lunch! ”
"Brother..."
Good memories come and go like a rising tide.
My mother's face appeared in front of my eyes, "Xiaozhou, you have to take good care of Xiaoya after your mother leaves!" ”
"Don't let Xiaoya be wronged."
In just a moment, Xiao Ya in front of him lost his smile.
"Mom! Mom! ”
Xiaoya cried, "Why did mom leave Xiaoya!" ”
"What's wrong with Xiaoya?"
I really wanted to comfort Xiaoya, Xiaoya cried even louder.
"Brother! Why do you want to drive Xiaoya away?! ”
"What did Xiaoya do badly?"
"Brother! Xiaoya doesn't want to be separated from you. ”
"Xiaoya will be obedient!"
"Don't drive away Xiaoya, okay?"
Tears wet my face, a wind blew, and the thin clothes made me a little cold.
It was as if I had been pulled back to reality by a pair of big hands.
When I saw the scene again, I was already at the door.
I reached out and knocked on the door, and it soon opened!
It was the stepmother who opened the door, and the stepmother's belly was already too big to support her to walk.
"Boat?" The stepmother opened her mouth in confusion, her pupils dilated slightly, and she looked very surprised.
When he heard my name, my father poked his head out and hung in the air as he carried water.
He was surprised and delighted, and the basin was not stable, and it was all spilled on the ground.
"Good boy, you're finally back!" Ignoring the water-soaked floor, my father rushed over and gave me a bear hug and slapped me the back.
He took my hand and spoke in a very excited tone, looking me up and down as if he was holding some treasure.
"Father, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!" I lifted up the two bags of gifts in my hand and hung them in front of the second elder.
"Good boy, just come back, and bring any gifts." The stepmother turned out to be a gift box, and she couldn't close her mouth with a smile.
"Kid, have you eaten?" Father's voice was kind and full.
Let me be a little confused, is this still the father who wants to sell Xiaoya?
Then this is still the original gambler father!
Maybe it was the departure of our brother and sister that made my father change his mind!
I agree with this answer.
"Not yet." After a day of walking, I barely drank a few sips of water.
"I'm going to kill a chicken for you to stew and eat!" My father put on his cooking apron and went out to catch chickens.
My stepmother also took me by the hand and took me to the fire.
"Child, you've been suffering outside for the past few months!" She patted my hand gently, and for a moment I had the feeling that the person in front of me was my biological mother.
My stepmother chatted with me without saying a word, nothing more than how life was going in the big city.
How much I have seen, is it bitter or not.
After a while, my father came up to me with a bowl of chicken soup, and by the light, I saw that there were more wrinkles on his face.
"Here comes the chicken soup!" The father's face was filled with a smile, "Drink, child!" ”
I was moved in my heart.
This kind of warmth has never been there.
Especially at this time, I may fall to the end of the world.
nodded, and feasted in front of the second elder.
"Child, how many days will you stay at home?" The stepmother was half-lying on the bed, her voice was laughing, and she was about to get up.
I've never seen a smile like this on her face.
"Hey!" I sighed, "It's time to leave tomorrow." ”
"What? Leaving so soon? When my stepmother heard the news that I was leaving tomorrow, somehow, she was very excited, and suddenly seemed to react to something, so she calmed down, "Why don't you stay at home for a few more days?" ”
I was so lost that I didn't notice anything.
I'd also like to stay home for a few more days, but my situation doesn't allow it at the moment!
First, there are many people, and even if the news in the small village is blocked, more or less people will know that I am wanted.
Second, my stepmother is pregnant, and my father is also old, so I let the second elder serve me, and I don't want to go.
"That's right." I took out a red envelope from my arms and handed it to my father, "This is my 50,000 yuan, which I earned in the city, so I should pay homage." ”
In fact, I took out a large part of the money Liu Qiao gave me.
After my father took it, he didn't speak, but his expression changed a little when he saw me.
It seems that there is a trace of reluctance!
I didn't take it seriously, thinking that my father just didn't want me to leave.
"My stepmother is pregnant, so I must take more supplements."
The father nodded in agreement, and then wiped his tears and said, "Son, you have a heart, by the way, I'll go and clean the wet floor just now." ”
Maybe I was about to die, and I became a little sentimental.
Because of my sister, my father who held a grudge in the past, suddenly felt a little relieved!
I looked at my father's back, my heart trembled a little, and I only felt sorry for my father's nurturing grace.
Just as I was blaming myself, my head suddenly became heavy and my gaze began to shake.
Then I felt that the world was spinning in front of me, and finally I planted my head and closed my eyes in the darkness.
