"Xiaotian, Jiahua, I'm back for dinner. A man shouted at his doorstep. Not far away, two seven or eight-year-old boys were playing, and when they heard the call for them to go back to dinner, they immediately ran over.

"Daddy, are you eating so early today?" one of the little boys asked excitedly.

"Yes, Xiao Tian. How about we have breakfast today and take you to the theater later?" the man said with a smile as he touched the heads of the two children.

"Okay, yes, yes, Jiahua, I'll go to the theater later. Xiao Tian took Jiahua's hand beside him and ran to the table.

"Come, let's eat something good today," the man doted on the two steamed buns on the table and distributed them to Xiaotian and Jiahua, picked up the bowl himself, and went to the side to serve the porridge.

"Daddy, why do you eat this, Daddy, I'll share half of you. Jiahua looked at the porridge in Daddy's bowl that was almost full of water, broke the steamed bun in his hand in half, and gave it to Daddy.

"Jiahua, it's okay, you can eat, Daddy just drink porridge," Daddy smiled and touched Jiahua's little head. The three of them were happily eating dinner, and at this time, the voice they were most afraid of in their lives came from outside the house, the bandit.

"Old thing, do you still have the leisure to eat here? Are the things that Lao Tzu asked you to prepare ready?" A thief kicked the door open outside the house, walked in with a big knife, and scolded Daddy,

"My lord, our family really has no extra food, I gave you all the food at home a few days ago, and now we have nothing to eat. Daddy grabbed the thief's trouser leg and knelt down and said,

"What do I think you're eating?Kid, what are you eating?" The thief ignored Daddy's words and kicked it away, Daddy curled up on the ground in pain, Xiaotian looked at all this and cried.

"What are you crying about, crying again, Lao Tzu cooked you and ate it. The thief looked at Xiao Tian with a wicked smile. Daddy immediately hugged Xiaotian in his arms and knelt down: "My lord, please offend our family, I will borrow food in the next few days, please forgive me for a few days." ”

"How many days are you forgiving? Do you want to starve me to death? Damn, old thing, I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin. The bandit was obviously enraged by Daddy's words, and raised the big knife in his hand to slash at Daddy.

"Ah~My hand, my hand~" Daddy painfully hugged the fingers of his left hand that had just been cut off, the white steamed bun in Xiaotian's hand was dyed red by Daddy's blood, Xiaotian was crying while holding his father, but Jiahua watched all this from the sidelines, not crying or making trouble.

The thieves on the side found that Jiahua who was sitting on the stool was not crying, but walked up to Jiahua and said, "Old guy, this little thing is also your son?"

"Yes, yes, he is also my son. "Daddy looked at the bandits sweating profusely,

"Okay, I'll give you a day, if I come tomorrow and you still don't have it, I'll take this son of yours away. The thief said while patting Jiahua's face.

"My lord, my lord, where am I going to make up for the day. "Daddy is in a hurry, the whole village has borrowed it by himself, and now he has been driven out by the people in the village, how can he borrow it now.

"Then I don't care, I've already told you, if I don't come tomorrow, then your son will be mine. The thief didn't care about Daddy's words, and walked out with a smile. Daddy watched the bandits leave from his house, and immediately climbed to Jiahua's side: "Jiahua, you hurry up at night, if you are caught by them, you won't survive." ”

"Daddy, Jiahua won't leave, what will you do if I leave. Jiahua looked at the bloody father in front of him very sensibly,

"Jiahua, you are the child I picked up, I don't want to trouble you because of me, child. Be obedient, and you will leave at night, and the farther you go, the better. "Daddy finally said what he had wanted to say for so many years.

"Daddy, what did you say? I picked it up by you?" Jiahua's little face was full of surprise, he couldn't have imagined that he was actually picked up.

"Yes, I picked you up, I found you by the river outside the village, and you were abandoned there," Daddy told all the stories of picking up Jiahua back then.

"By the way, Jiahua, back then, you slept in a basket, and there were two things in it, which I kept all these years and never sold. Now I'll give it back to you, and you'll go. Daddy slowly walked to the side of the bed and pulled out a basket under the bed, and Daddy lifted the cloth on it, and there was a short knife and a book underneath.

"Jiahua, this is the basket that was put in you back then, and these two things were placed next to you back then. Jiahua, you should hurry up. Daddy took out the short knife and books in the basket and stuffed them into Jiahua's hand, signaling him to leave quickly.

"I'm not leaving, if I leave, the bandits will come tomorrow, what will Daddy and Xiaotian do? They want me, it's a big deal that I'll just follow them. Daddy looked at Jiahua, who was only seven or eight years old in front of him, but his mind had already matured, and took Jiahua into his arms: "Jiahua, I said that this matter is none of your business, if they want someone, I will go with Xiaotian with them, but you are different." You are not my son. ”

"Daddy..."Jiahua couldn't believe that the Daddy in front of him would say from his mouth that he was not his son, Jiahua couldn't help it, holding the short knife and books that Daddy gave him, and ran towards the door.

"Daddy, why did you let Jiahua go, why?" Xiaotian saw Jiahua crying and ran out, and immediately asked Daddy,

"Xiaotian, you are still young, you don't understand. Let him go, and I can be regarded as repaying the favor of his biological father. Xiaotian, you also go, go to the village, find the village chief, and let the village chief take you in. Daddy picked up the steamed bun on the table that had just been broken in half and stuffed it into Xiaotian's hand.

"Let's go, go to the village chief, remember, you just said I don't want you anymore, you know? Don't say that your house was robbed by thieves, otherwise they won't take you in, you know?" Daddy looked at Xiaotian with a serious face, and was reluctant to pick up Xiaotian.

"Child, you must always remember that Jiahua is your brother, and when you grow up, you will go to him, understand?" Daddy hugged Xiaotian and told Xiaotian in his ear,

"Daddy, I'm not leaving, I'm going to be with Daddy. I'm not leaving, woo woo woo ~ " Xiao Tian cried loudly, and hammered his weak fist towards Daddy's chest,

"Let's go. Hurry up and get out of here. Daddy suddenly threw Xiao Tian aside, picked up the stick at home, and hit Xiao Tian.

"Woo woo woo ~ Daddy. Xiaotian turned around and shouted while running, but as soon as he turned around, he saw his father chasing him with a stick, so he had to run towards the village without looking back.
