Chapter 45: Small, Livestock (5)

My father dragged me past me and yelled, "Come home with me! I'll break your foot when you stay with this little animal in the future!"

I didn't answer.

My tears suddenly dripped down my feet. Jiang Ziyu's appearance made me feel distressed, very painful. But I can't do anything, I have no way to change Jiang Ziyu, and there is no way to change my father's attitude towards Jiang Ziyu.

It didn't take long for my father and stepmother to have an accident.

The house we live in, two bedrooms and one living room, 65 square meters, is the original unit welfare housing. When the stepmother got married, she brought Jiang Ziyu over - Jiang Ziyu didn't want to come with her, but the stepmother's income was not high, Jiang Ziyu had no job, and the stepmother had no extra money to rent a house.

Dad set up a temporary room on the balcony, barely fit a small bed, and vacated it for Jiang Ziyu to live in.

The dormitory building was very old, I don't know what era it was built, it was dilapidated, there was no elevator, and our family lived on the top eighth floor. In the summer of that year, the sun was particularly fierce, the weather was particularly hot, people stayed in the room, like staying in a steamer, even the wind blown out by the electric fan, it was also steaming, and the sweat on the body was repeated again and again, and I always felt that the T-shirt I was wearing had never been dry.

After dinner that day, my stepmother was too hot to take a walk downstairs.

Dad didn't know why that day, but he was in a very good mood, and he said with great interest:

"I'll drive your motorbike and take you out for a ride. ”

Stepmom Delight:

"Then let's go for a ride. ”

The two had an accident on the road to the ride. Dad drove the motorcycle too fast, and then at the corner of an intersection, suddenly rushed out of a big truck, Dad panicked, stepped on the accelerator, dodged the big truck, but unfortunately hit a cement pillar not far away.

Dad's blood was splashed all over the ground, and his soul returned to heaven on the spot.

And the stepmother, who was sitting on the back of the motorcycle, was thrown a meter or two away, and after being sent to the hospital, she took a breath and saw Jiang Ziyu for the last time.

Because of his father's slap, Jiang Ziyu has a lot of backbone and hasn't been home for half a month. Jiang Ziyu didn't expect that the night my father slapped him would be the last time he would see him.

When Jiang Ziyu saw my father again, he was already a cold corpse, lying in the hospital morgue, and he could no longer scold him, beat him, and call him a "little livestock".

The stepmother was lying in a hospital bed, dying. Her thin body, lying crookedly on the hospital bed, her head hanging down, her life on the line.

I threw myself on her, hugged her, and cried so much.

I finally have a complete home, a woman who is not related to me by blood, but who loves me, cares about me, and calls me "Mom". But this "mother" is leaving me.

I cried and shouted:

"Mommy, Mommy, don't leave me!

The stepmother's eyes were loose, her pupils were gradually expanding, she looked at Jiang Ziyu, her eyes fell on my face again, and she opened her mouth to say something, but then, the stepmother couldn't say anything.

She closed her eyes forever.

When my father and stepmother's bodies were cremated, Jiang Ziyu and I, dressed in plain white, looked sad, and stood outside the crematorium of the funeral home and waited. At dusk, the sun slowly goes down, the enchanting sunset, there is a beauty of depravity and despair, the wind blows gently, cool and deep.

Not far away, there was a thick smoke, which rushed straight into the clouds, and then gradually dispersed in mid-air.

The twilight was vast, and Jiang Ziyu's mood and I were very heavy.

Later, I finally couldn't help it, hugged Jiang Ziyu, and cried - from then on, I became an orphan without a father and mother, and from then on, Jiang Ziyu and I had to depend on each other for our lives.
