Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Eve of the Rainstorm
This night is destined to be eventful and not peaceful.
The old man withdrew gloomily, and the Apocalypse Tiansheng brothers turned against him. All of this could have been avoided, but it happened quietly. The strong mother who is behind all this is just said a few words lightly. And Xiaoxue, who is one of the parties involved in this incident, is tormented and tortured. She doesn't understand: why the ordinary relationship at the same table can give rise to so many bad things. The most common thing is why adults think so complicated.
In the dark night, in the quiet room, Xiaoxue couldn't sleep at night, this incident was the most torturous thing she had encountered since she was born. She felt lost and confused, and she felt even more lonely and terrible in her heart. Her life is not only about learning and growing, but more about the troubles brought by gossip......
Xiaobai slept next to Xiaoxue, she slept very soundly and soundly. is like a docile little tiger, snoring like thunder can't wake up Xiaobai.
Xiaoxue got up independently and left the room and came to the courtyard, she looked at the white moonlight and felt so small. Drifting in the wind like fallen leaves, you can't make your own decisions.
Suddenly, the moonlight disappeared and the clouds were thick, like a sign before a rainstorm, and the wind was blowing. The wind kept blowing Xiaoxue's body, as if it was about to push her farther away.
"Cher, let's go back to the house! It's a different day, and it looks like tomorrow is another day of rain. ”
Snow Mother stood behind Xiaoxue, and no one knew when she appeared, let alone why she was here. Maybe it's because I'm worried that Xiaoxue won't be able to think about it, or maybe it's just that I just happened to meet it at night.
Xiaoxue rolled her body and she didn't dare to look back, because her parents had said: Don't pay attention to anyone who calls you at night, no matter who the other party is.
A wave of fear surged over Xiaoxue's heart, and she was very scared in her heart. She didn't dare to look back, let alone go back to the house. Because the story of his childhood is engraved in his heart......
Legend has it that once upon a time, there was a child playing at night. When I was playing the most fun again, suddenly a voice behind me called the child's name. The child replied without even thinking about it, but no one ever saw the child again. Some people say that the child was eaten by evil spirits, but others say that the child just came home.
For this story, adults will only tell their children: the child was eaten by evil spirits in the end, or the child's soul was taken away by black and white impermanence, and there is no follow-up to the corpse.
We heard a lot of similar stories when we were children, and the story was not the point, but the point was that the adults wanted the children to be well. After all, there is the howl of wolves at night, and the crows in the sky are unscrupulous. At this time, although there were no crows, there were strong winds before the rainstorm.
Seeing that Xiaoxue didn't move, Snow Mother had no choice but to step forward by herself. She gently patted Xiaoxue's shoulder, but Xiaoxue's whole body seemed to be paralyzed, and she leaned weakly on Xue Mu's arms.
Xiaoxue didn't dare to move, she only hoped that the night would end as soon as possible. In this way, you don't have to be so afraid, and you don't have to worry about your soul being taken away. Xiaoxue was like a frightened rabbit at this time, and her body was trembling.
Snow Mother took Xiaoxue into her arms, she originally just wanted to accompany Xiaoxue quietly. But suddenly the moonlight disappeared, and the sky was windy, for the sake of Xiaoxue's safety, she just wanted to take Xiaoxue back to the room. This way, even if the rainstorm hits, there will be no light snow outside the house. Perhaps, even the Snow Mother herself forgot that story and forgot her advice to Xiaoxue. The original intention of the story is that the children can go home at night and not be greedy, because only then will the adults not go around looking for their children in the dark night.
Mother Xue dragged the weak Xiaoxue back to the room, and the moment she turned on the light, Xiaoxue saw her father sitting on the kang and looking directly at her.
Xiaoxue suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, after all, there was a father. Even if there are evil spirits, at least there is a father who can protect him.
Xiaoxue shuddered, and her hanging heart could finally be put down. Because she didn't want to die, she knew that she still had Teacher Jiang's last wish unfulfilled, and her most reluctant classmates were still there. Perhaps, at this time, she forgot the hope of her parents, and even more forgot the existence of family affection. But as long as Xiaoxue wants to live, then everything is not a problem.
The father and daughter looked at each other for a long time, but Mother Xue found thick clothes for Xiaoxue. After all, the wind is blowing outside, and even adults feel very cold, not to mention that Xiaoxue is still a child.
Xiaoxue looked at her parents, she didn't know if they hadn't slept at all, or if they had been woken up by the wind. She didn't know how to face her parents, if she could turn back time, she would definitely stop Xiao Yuxuan from helping her deliver fish, so that there would not be so many things to follow. At least in this whole fish feast, everyone will not rarely move chopsticks.
But time will not be turned back, and it will not change by personal will. Everything has a cycle of cause and effect, and everything will have both positive and negative sides. Perhaps, through this incident: Xiaoxue can understand that everything has to face the worst outcome, which is not a kind of growth for her. It's just that the price of this kind of growth is too onerous, and it is beyond Xiaoxue's current range.
Apocalypse endured the words, but he didn't know where to start. Xue Mu just looked at Xiaoxue quietly, for fear that the child would not be able to think about it and do something stupid.
Apocalypse lit a cigarette, and the smoke quickly filled the room. Xiaoxue coughed, and Snow Mother set her eyes on the apocalypse. Apocalypse knew that he was wrong, so he quickly extinguished the cigarette in his hand.
"Hey......"
This sigh resounded throughout the room, and it seemed to be an effect expanded by dozens of times the sound effect, which made people feel both harsh and unpleasant.
Snow Mother punched Apocalypse hard, and landed heavily on Apocalypse's chest, and the painful Apocalypse wanted to cry, but it didn't seem to be. Maybe it's because Xiaoxue is here, or maybe it's because I don't want to worry about it!
"Xiaoxue, don't stand stupidly. Come up and sleep! ”
Snow Mother's words surprised the father and daughter, and the two of them looked at Snow Mother in unison.
"That's not good! After all, Xiaoxue has ...... this year"
"No matter how old she is, she is still a child in my eyes. Ma Tianqi, if you have an opinion, go outside and calm down. ”
Apocalypse didn't speak, but there seemed to be dissatisfaction and loss in his eyes.
Xiao Xue thought about it for a long time, and when Xue Mu saw that she was still hesitating, she said:
"Don't worry, you sleep next to me. Otherwise, your father will choke you with cigarettes again, and if you don't believe it, ask your father? ”
Xiaoxue didn't ask, so she got on the kang and got into the quilt.
Snow turned off the lights, and the room went dark.
Ma Tianqi sat alone for a long time, it wasn't that he didn't want Xiaoxue to sleep with their husband and wife. It's just that after the teenage years, Xiaoxue should also have her own private space. Besides, today's Xiaoxue is a frightened bird, and it is estimated that she is most afraid of getting along with her parents.
