Chapter 126: The story of a man with a baby looking for his wife (6)
Because they met a "kind-hearted person", the father and son, who had been running around for several days, finally no longer had to live in a ruined temple, nor did they have to sleep in the streets or alleys. They didn't have to sit in other people's houses to rest when they were tired from walking in the middle of the night, waking up in the middle of the night. People were so frightened that they almost died suddenly.
Fusheng has been alone for a long time, because he is used to being alone and has forgotten many common sense of life, but now he makes the bed well and takes off the coat of the child in his arms very neatly.
It is indeed quite "simple and neat".
Chu Xiaoman's neck was strangled several times, and the bones of his hands and feet were torn off several times. While he was grinning, his father took off his red coat and stuffed him into the quilt.
Chu Xiaoman struggled a few times and exposed his head from the quilt. He took a deep breath and opened his eyes like red gems. He saw his father sitting in front of the bronze mirror combing his hair.
The young man had taken off his dark cloak, and the red robe hung loosely on his body. The color difference with his fair skin was very attractive.
His pale and slender fingers gently stroked the soft white long hair. In the candlelight, his shadow was erratic, his beautiful profile was slightly drooped, and his white eyelashes occasionally trembled as his eyes blinked. A small, pitiful shadow fell now.
Occasionally, the night breeze invades through the window, and the long white hair and robes that have not been tied up sway in the light and shadow, as if the boy is made of white jade, and it will dissipate at any time like a strange and beautiful dream.
His father is depressed again.
Chu Xiaoman lay on the bed, staring lazily at his father. Ever since his mother and his father had a fight and never came back, his father would often fall ill and fall into a depressed mood.
Chu Xiaoman is still a little baby, and he doesn’t understand many things. He is still at the age of drinking milk. Because his parents are separated, he can only eat random food to fill his stomach. There must be no more pitiful child in the world than him. .
Chu Xiaoman stretched out his chubby short hand and said to the white jade figure, "Ah——"
Fusheng raised his eyes, and his red eyes, which were more transparent than glass, fell into the light of the candle, just like the legendary blood river in hell shining with cold light.
Chu Xiaoman said "ah" again.
Fusheng put the wooden comb away close to his body, stood up, walked to the bedside, sat down, and held the child who inherited his characteristics in his arms. Chu Xiaoman felt the familiar breath and felt very safe, so he remained obediently motionless, with only a pair of Her beautiful eyes stared at her father's face.
Ever since the family lost his mother, the father and son had been dependent on each other, sleeping in the open air every day. Wherever they went, they would be yelled at. Their life was simply not a human life.
Fusheng touched the soft white top of his son's head, his red eyes filled with mist. He said softly: "Xiaoman, Xiangxiang is just still angry with me. Just wait until she calms down."
Chu Xiaoman blinked, as if responding to his father's words.
Fusheng added: "The person Xiangxiang likes first is me, and the person she likes second is you, so she must be reluctant to leave us behind."
Chu Xiaoman seemed to roll his eyes, probably because he thought it was very childish for his father to decide who was more important at this time.
Fusheng pinched the flesh on Chu Xiaoman's face and said, "You lost weight when Xiangxiang was not here. When you see Xiangxiang, if you cry louder, she will definitely feel distressed." Chu Xiaoman cried once in his life. When he was born At that time, his mother didn't hear his cry and was worried that he was mute, so his father unceremoniously picked him up upside down and slapped his buttocks a few times. Chu Xiaoman couldn't bear the pain and burst into tears. made a sound.
Apart from this, Chu Xiaoman never cried again. If he was hungry or wanted to pee, he would only cry out "Ahhh" to attract attention.
His mother said that he must be an optimistic person, completely different from his gloomy father.
Chu Xiaoman buried his face in his father's chest. Children are born to rely on their parents, and his father still has the breath of his mother.
But as each day passed, this breath became weaker and weaker.
Chu Xiaoman raised his face and let out an aggrieved "hum". He could hardly smell his mother anymore.
Fusheng lowered his head and held the child closer to his arms. He curled up against the bedside and warmed each other with the child. At some point, his long eyelashes were stained with mist, and his misty red eyes were filled with mist. , the hidden grievances should be made concrete and come out.
Chu Xiang tossed and turned again this night and did not sleep well. For some reason, she always felt that her bed was big and empty. She was not used to sleeping in it, and the swelling feeling in her chest also made her inexplicably change. Got to be more irritable.
In the past, doctors often came to see her and prescribed medicine, saying that as long as she drank the medicine for a period of time, her rare illnesses would disappear.
After Chu Xiang drank it for two days, she felt something was wrong. After she poured the medicine quietly, she was surprised to find that the breast milk on her bellyband seemed to be the rumored breast milk.
She didn't know if there was really any rare disease in the world that could cause such strange changes in her body. She just thought about it with her brain and felt that it might be more reliable to have given birth to a child.
Chu Xiang didn't understand why everyone hid what happened to her in those two years. Maybe she really met a scumbag, so they didn't want her to get hurt, or maybe the man she fell in love with was just a nobody. Do they think he's not good enough for them?
No matter what, she wanted to know what was going on, had she really been in contact with any man, and had she really given birth to a child?
If she asked them rashly, they would definitely not tell her the truth. Chu Xiang knew that her father was going to the restaurant to check the accounts, and his father happened to be a bad drinker. She suddenly thought of a good idea.
Chu Zhao is the head of the Chu family. The reason why the Chu family can develop well under his hands is because he always tries to do everything by himself. Even for things like checking accounts, he has to find time to do it himself. Look at the ledger.
When Chu Xiang asked to go to a restaurant with him, Chu Zhao was still hesitant.
Chu Xiang said: "I've been back for so long and I haven't gone out once. And I heard that the food in the restaurant is very delicious. Dad, after we check the accounts, we can sit down and have a meal together, okay? ?”
Su Su said from the side: "You can take Xiangxiang for a walk outside. I have something to do, so I won't accompany you."
Recently, it was time for the government to issue moon silver, and Su Su had to be busy reconciling the accounts.
Chu Zhao thought for a while and agreed to take Chu Xiang out.
