Chapter 22: Memory

Pani Town Square

The members of the Red Dragon Society, who fell to the ground, helped each other out of the town square amid the boos of the townspeople.

The townsfolk looked at the members of the Red Dragon Society in such an embarrassed manner, and then thought of their various actions in the past, which was a great joy.

If you are in a good mood, you will naturally have to celebrate, and if you want to celebrate, then you will naturally have wine. After a while, the townspeople brought wine from their homes. Everyone drank happily in the square, and at the kind invitation of the townspeople, the members of the repertory troupe and Liao took the lead in joining them. Infected by such an atmosphere, in the end, even Lianhua and Lucy drank several glasses of wine, and the whole square was not lively for a while.

Today should be an unforgettable day for the townspeople of Pani Town.

After a carnival of drinking, the night gradually deepened, and everyone saw that the time was indeed not early, so they said good night to each other and went back to rest.

The originally lively square was deserted again,

Lianhua didn't go back to the carriage to rest, she had just drunk some wine and couldn't sleep. He sat alone on the stage in the square, blowing the night wind, looking up at the starry sky, but his thoughts drifted to other places, for a long time,

"You seem to like to look at the stars!" Lucy's sweet voice sounded from Lianhua's side, breaking the silence of the night and interrupting Lianhua's thoughts.

Lianhua came back to her senses when she heard the sound of talking from the side, and then she found that Lucy was already sitting next to her wrapped in a quilt, but she didn't notice it at all. Probably because of the drinking, he lost his vigilance, Lianhua shook her head and thought.

"I also love looking at the stars. Lucy didn't wait for Lianhua to answer, but continued with her cheeks on her cheeks. "Because my mother said she would be the brightest star in the night sky, and seeing that star would be the same as seeing her! ”

Lianhua looked at Lucy and noticed that she still had a hint of drunkenness on her face, so she listened carefully.

"I have the impression that my mother rarely gets out of bed, and my father said that it was because my mother was weak and needed to recuperate because she gave birth to me. "It was only when the weather was nice that my mother would get out of bed and go out into the garden to bask in the sun, and my father would accompany her no matter how busy she was, and I would play in the garden, which was my happiest time." Speaking of this, Lucy smiled sweetly, as if she had returned to that time, that garden.

With such a smile, even Lianhua was a little drunk when she saw it.

"It's just that there is less and less time like this, and my mother's health is getting worse day by day, and she spends more and more time in bed, but whenever she sees me, she will sit up from the bed, look at me with a smile, tell me a lot of stories, talk a lot with me, and she also likes to touch my hair, and while touching it, she will say 'little Lucy, grow up quickly!'" Lucy was already in tears, but she was trying not to let them fall.

A gentle and beautiful mother figure appeared in Lianhua's mind, and then seeing Lucy's appearance, Lianhua couldn't help but stretch out her hand, wanting to comfort her, and after stretching out, she didn't know where to land, and after pausing in the air for a moment, her hand landed on Lucy's head, gently stroking her hair.

Lucy felt the temperature coming from her head, she was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head, enjoyed it, and said softly, "It turns out that Lianhua, you are also a very gentle person." ”

Listening to Lucy's words, Lianhua herself was stunned, but the movements in her hands did not stop.

After seeing Lianhua's stunned expression, she spit out her little tongue at him naughtily, continued to feel the temperature coming from her head, looked at the empty square, and recalled:

The wheel of time turned backwards with Lucy's memories,

Back to that day, it was little Lucy's 4th birthday, her father invited a lot of people to celebrate her birthday, little Lucy also received a lot of gifts, and ate a delicious birthday cake, that cake was really delicious, little Lucy ate a lot, but secretly left a piece,' I haven't seen my mother all day,' thought little Lucy, so she didn't bother to say goodbye to everyone when the dinner was over, so she hurried away, and walked towards her mother's bedroom with the piece of cake she had left, for fear that she would be late, and her mother would have fallen asleep, so she would not be able to eat such a delicious cake. Fortunately, the mother did not fall asleep, but sat on the bed, as if she knew she would come, with a happy smile on her pale face.

Seeing that her mother was not asleep, little Lucy called "Mother", walked over happily with a cake, and sat on the edge of her mother's bed.

Seeing little Lucy sitting on the edge of the bed so well-behaved, her mother smiled and touched her head, 'My little Lucy has grown!'

'Hee-hee, I haven't seen you all day, I miss you so much! This is my birthday cake, I have left a piece for you, it's super delicious! I've eaten a lot! Would you like to try it too?' Little Lucy finished scooping a piece of cake with a spoon and carefully sending it to her mother's mouth, just as she had fed her mother when she was a child.

'Well, Lucy is so good!' the mother smiled at little Lucy and ate the cake, 'It's delicious!'

'Hey,' little Lucy smiled happily, and just as she was about to scoop the second piece, her mother pointed to her stomach and shook her head, and little Lucy understood that her mother might have already eaten dinner, so she put the cake aside, 'Then you can wait.' ’

The mother looked at little Lucy, touched her little head and smiled and asked, 'Did you have a happy birthday?'

"I'm so happy, I've received a lot of gifts!" Speaking of her birthday, little Lucy suddenly talked a lot, such as who gave her what gifts, who praised her for her good looks...

The mother sat on the bed, looked at little Lucy seriously, and listened carefully to her, for fear of missing a word.

'Do you know what birthday wishes I made?' asked little Lucy, leaning her head on the bed and looking mischievously at her mother.

'What is your wish?'

'Guess what?'

'Well, let me think about it, did you wish for a lot of toys, or did you wish for a lot of food?'

'Neither, I wish you would get better soon and be by my side all the time. Little Lucy knew that her mother couldn't guess, so she raised her head proudly and said to her mother with a smile.

After listening to little Lucy's words, the mother was stunned, tears came out of her eyes, and the hand that touched little Lucy's hair trembled. 'Okay, I'll always be by Lucy's side, always!'

'Well, then you have to get well quickly!' Hearing her mother's assurance, little Lucy threw herself into her arms, and her mother's arms were so warm.

The mother hugged little Lucy and whispered in her ear, 'Little Lucy, you have grown up, you can't make your father angry in the future, you have to listen to him, you know?'

Well, little Lucy knows. ’

I'm going to make a lot of good friends in the future." ’

'What is a friend?' asked little Lucy, looking at her mother in confusion.

It's someone like a little brother. ’

'Well, little brother is good to me,' little Lucy nodded incomprehensibly.

In the future, I want to find a good husband and live a happy life." ’

'What is a husband?' Little Lucy looked at her mother suspiciously and asked.

It's your favorite person. ’

Well, I like my father and my little brother the most. Little Lucy listened to the explanation, thought about it seriously, nodded and said.

'Always be happy, because our little Lucy has a good smile.' ’

'Hmm. As if to prove her mother's words, little Lucy smiled happily, so sweetly.

'Later...' Mother said so much that little Lucy listened to them all. Listening and listening, feeling the warm embrace of my mother, sleepiness gradually hit. In a haze, little Lucy felt drops of water on her face, one, two, three......

'Lucy, you have to remember that your mother will be the brightest star in the night sky and watch you grow up. Those were the last words Lucy heard her mother say.

Day 2......

The wheel of time spun again, turning back to reality, and Lucy on the podium had already cried into tears, and the original drunkenness gradually disappeared with the tears that flowed out.

Lianhua looked up at the starry sky, as if he was looking for something, and after a while, he found it, "Look at that!"

Lucy looked up and followed Lianhua's hand to see a star twinkling at them.

"Motherβ€”" Lucy stood up with tears in her eyes, waving her arms vigorously at the twinkling star.
