Chapter 11: Lost

Liu Jiunan is the son of Mr. Liu's younger brother, Carpenter Liu.

Carpenter Liu is a typical patriarchal and has a deep-rooted feudal mentality.

Carpenter Liu's wife, Aunt Liu, gave birth to a total of eight daughters to Carpenter Liu before giving birth to an only son, Liu Jiunan.

Except for the eldest of the eight daughters, the others were all given away by the ruthless Carpenter Liu.

The eighth child was given to Zhang Xiaoren, who was not married, and the seventh child was given to Teacher Liu, because Teacher Liu's wife Zhang Mian could not have children.

The pitiful Zhang Mian raised two children who were not related to him, and in addition to enduring her husband's cynicism and bitterness from time to time, she also had to endure the sharp tongues and sow discord among the villagers.

The other daughters were all sent to other villages, and some even Carpenter Liu himself didn't know where to send them.

When Aunt Liu was born to the fourth child, she couldn't bear to send her daughter away, and she was so grief-stricken that she washed her face with tears all day long, and even dreamed about her daughter.

Unfortunately, she begged Carpenter Liu not to let herself continue to give birth in tears, and begged Carpenter Liu to get back the daughter she had sent away.

Annoyed and angry, Carpenter Liu sneered and pointed at Aunt Liu and reprimanded:

"I'm almost forty, and I haven't survived a son, do you want Lao Tzu to cut off his children and grandchildren?"

"If you really don't want to give birth, it's okay, I'll go out to find someone else to give birth to like my brother, and you will have to raise it when the time comes." Carpenter Liu continued to speak arrogantly and unreasonably.

Disheartened and helpless, Aunt Liu lowered her head and sobbed, without saying anything to resist.

In this way, after enduring physical and mental torture at the same time, Aunt Liu finally gave birth to Liu Jiunan, the only seedling Miao after giving birth to eight daughters, and left a small handful of hair on the back of Liu Jiunan's head and braided it into small braids.

Liu Jiunan, the only son, was spoiled by his father, and relied on his eldest father to be Teacher Liu, he was arrogant and unreasonable at school, domineering, willful, and domineering.

As long as it is someone who is isolated by him, no one else dares to get close, because whoever is close will be isolated together.

Poor Ruoxi was isolated by everyone like this.

Ruoxi, who was isolated, was depressed all day long, and even looked worried about class, unable to concentrate on listening to the lecture.

At this time, Ruoxi has already lost himself a little, is the enemy too strong to lose himself, or is he too weak?

Once, when Teacher Liu, who was in class, found Ruoxi, who was always distracted, he walked up directly and slapped Ruoxi's immature face, and the slap left a deep palm print on Ruoxi's face, and also left a palm print on Ruoxi's heart.

Teacher Liu, who did not stop there, continued to sneer in front of the whole class, with a hideous and cannibalistic expression:

"As stupid as your stupid daddy, your stupid daddy was like this when he was a child, and he didn't know what he was doing all day?"

Ruoxi's head was suddenly blank in the unbearable pain, her eyes glowed, and her ears buzzed.

There was laughter and whispering in the classroom.

The aggrieved Ruoxi did not dare to have any resistance, and could only cry sad tears alone.

Mr. Liu is a person that Ruoxi trusts and respects.

Hurt by a trusted person is the most likely to make people depressed, and insulting a respected person is the easiest to make a person lose himself.

Since that time, Ruoxi on the way home from school no longer laughs and laughs, no matter how birds, trees, and insects call her, she doesn't pay attention, as if her ears are blocked and she can't hear, and her eyes are blindfolded and she can't see.

Ruoxi always drooped her shoulders when she walked, her drooping arms were almost touching her knees, and she walked with a neat and regular pace, as if she had been trained.

When I returned to the path outside the courtyard, I saw the silly daddy waiting for me with a smile as if I didn't see it, and didn't give any response to the silly daddy.

pushed away the stupid daddy who stepped forward to help pick up the schoolbag and said:

"It's all because of you, because you are so stupid that I am also called stupid by them, and now no one pays attention to me."

"Because of you, I was slapped by Teacher Liu." Ruoxi continued to add.

Sad Ruoxi cried loudly.

Silly Daddy was overwhelmed by the sudden reproach and Ruoxi's grief.

Looking at the crying Ruoxi, the silly daddy began to fidget and shake his hands, and the iconic smile on his face disappeared.

In the following morning, no matter how bright the sun was, it didn't make Ruoxi smile as brightly.

Every day, the silly daddy still shows his trademark smirk and stands on the path outside the courtyard to watch Ruoxi go to school, waiting for Ruoxi to get out of school, and still helps Ruoxi get his schoolbag and hand water••••••

But what the stupid daddy did was rejected viciously by the ignorant Ruoxi.

The silly daddy who still insists on smiling every day, and the silly daddy who still insists on being himself did not impress Ruoxi, who has nothing to do.

At that time, Ruoxi, who lost herself and lost her freedom, seemed to be asleep, and no matter how stupid Daddy screamed, he couldn't wake her up.

Many people will lose themselves when they encounter difficulties, setbacks, tribulations, and failures, and losing themselves will only bring themselves closer and closer to the abyss, and losing themselves will only make them farther and farther away from joy and happiness.

It's a pity that Ruoxi, who was young at the time, didn't understand these truths.

Every night, Ruoxi will hug Xiao Fan and cry, and confide in Xiao Fan about her unhappiness.

The uneducated grandmother doesn't know how to educate and enlighten the lost Ruoxi, who feels sorry for her son and granddaughter.

In this way, the young and helpless Ruoxi spent a period of dark days, until things took a new turn.

It was an afternoon a few weeks later, also in the school playground, and the isolated Ruoxi stood alone in the corner of the playground watching her classmates play, eager to join them.

Suddenly, Liu Jiunan walked out of the crowd, pointed at Ruoxi with his head held high and said:

"If you want to play with us, you can't play with your stupid daddy, and you have to tell everyone that you won't play with your stupid daddy in the future, and you have to listen to me, you have to do whatever I tell you to do."

Ruoxi didn't even think about nodding in agreement, she was too afraid of being lonely, too afraid of being isolated.

In the following days, Ruoxi, who was afraid of being lonely, accepted all of Liu Jiunan's unreasonable requests one by one in order to no longer be isolated by her classmates.

For the first time, Liu Jiunan coldly handed a snake to Ruoxi and threatened:

"If you want to play with us, you'll have to put this snake in Daddy's bed, and if you don't, no one will play with you."

Ruoxi, who took the snake, turned pale with fright, and almost screamed, but she had no choice but to coil the snake and put it in her schoolbag.

When she came home from school that day, Ruoxi's mood was as heavy as her schoolbag.

On the path outside the courtyard, Ruoxi could still see the smiling silly daddy waiting for him, waving his hand to him, Ruoxi didn't give any response, even if it was just a glance, as if the silly daddy was air.

At this time, Ruoxi may not have the courage to face his stupid father.

When a person wants to hurt the people closest to him, he is weak in heart and does not have the courage to face it.

Silly Daddy wanted to take Ruoxi's schoolbag in a restrained manner, but Ruoxi shook his hand and refused.

The laughter of the two was no longer heard outside the courtyard window.

After dinner, Ruoxi secretly put the snake that had been placed in the schoolbag in advance into the quilt of the stupid daddy, and then slipped away as if nothing happened.

When the lights went out and went to bed, Ruoxi, who had mixed feelings in his heart, only heard a scream from the stupid big daddy, and then there was a crackling••••••

Ruoxi didn't laugh, and there was more guilt in his heart.

The next morning, Silly Daddy, like no one else, still sent Ruoxi to the path outside the hospital with a smile, and waved at Ruoxi, Ruoxi was also like no one, still didn't give any response to Silly Daddy.

Ruoxi didn't respond at this time, more because he was afraid of facing his stupid daddy.

As soon as he arrived at the school, Liu Jiunan asked Ruoxi how the stupid daddy reacted with a look of expectation, and Ruoxi flattered and truthfully narrated, and the passionate Ruoxi seemed to be describing not the silly daddy who got along with her day and night, but a stranger she never knew.

Then there was a burst of laughter.

Ruoxi reluctantly laughed too, her distorted smile was intriguing.

Liu Jiunan, who tasted the sweetness, would send Ruoxi all kinds of tasks one after another, I really don't know what he had in his mind all day?

There are those who put insects in the clothes of the stupid daddy, those who remove all the buttons on the stupid daddy's clothes, those who add enough salt to the water cup of the stupid daddy that kills people, those who cut the beard of the stupid daddy, those who stick glue under the buttocks of the stupid daddy, and even make up a children's rhyme about the stupid daddy and ask Ruoxi to sing it to the stupid daddy••••••

Liu Jiunan shouldn't have been a human being in his last life, he was a crow? Is it a snake? Is it a scorpion? Or rats?

In order to play tricks on the stupid daddy, Liu Jiunan really worked hard, if he could spend all these thoughts on studying, he would not be the bottom of the class all the year round.

Ruoxi, who did not refuse to respond to requests, accepted all of Liu Jiunan's tricks and did them one by one.

Every time Ruoxi did what Liu Jiunan asked him to do, he would describe the stupid daddy's reaction to everyone the next day, just like every time he gave everyone a lesson.

Then there was a burst of laughter.

Ruoxi, who is getting deeper and deeper, in order not to be isolated by his classmates, enjoys playing tricks on his stupid daddy every day.

Even so, Silly Daddy still stands on the path outside the courtyard every day, waving to Ruoxi with a smile.

Silly daddy is still that stupid daddy, Ruoxi doesn't seem to be that Ruoxi anymore.

It's a pity that the persistent and kind stupid daddy was not able to impress Ruoxi, who was still young and ignorant, and Ruoxi still refused to go his own way and refuse the stupid daddy Yu Qianli.

The grandmother, who was getting old and frail, saw it, and her son who felt sorry for her was at most to blame Ruoxi, and a few words of blame that didn't hurt or itch had no effect on Ruoxi at that time.

Poor Ruoxi didn't realize her lost self.

It is not the lost self that is terrible, but the terrible failure to recognize the lost self.

Such days lasted until the winter of the following year.

That winter, Ruoxi was eight years old.

On this day, it was snowing lightly outside, and snowflakes were floating in the air and floating on Ruoxi's face.

Ruoxi came home from school as usual, and everything on the way looked normal.

The difference is that on the path outside the hospital, Ruoxi didn't see the stupid daddy waiting for him every day, but saw a group of people who were talking.
