Chapter 37

Panting heavily, my mother dropped the stick, limped quickly, approached me, and lifted me up to check my injuries.I didn't want my mother to worry, so I shook my head and said I was fine and didn't hurt.My mother touched my face, burst into tears and hugged me and cried bitterly.I asked my mother what happened to my father and why he bled so much. My mother wiped away her tears and rubbed my head and said that my father was just injured and he would be fine soon. "

"At that time, I didn't understand anything, and I naively thought what my mother said was true. My mother kissed my face hard, touched my face, and hugged me tightly for a while. She made a bowl for the first time. Hot egg custard, this is a very luxurious thing for us. I fed it to her mouth and she took a sip and said she didn't like it. She watched me gobble it up contentedly, and when I finished eating, she wiped it clean for me Mouth, coax me to bed. She still patted my back lightly, kissed my forehead as usual, and coaxed me to sleep."

"But when I woke up, everything changed. There was no one in the room, even my father was gone, the blood on the ground was wiped clean, and there were a lot of coins on the table. I went out in a panic to look for my mother, but I can’t find it anywhere. I’m hungry and I don’t dare to spend the money. I don’t think I can mess around with the money without my mother’s permission. I look for my mother and father everywhere during the day, and stay indoors at night, drinking when I’m hungry. Water to satisfy my hunger. Two days later, I went out in the rain as usual, and when I passed by the river, I saw a lot of people surrounded there. I somehow had an urge to take a look, so I squeezed into the crowd and got closer. As a result, I Saw the missing mother and father.

"My mother closed her eyes and her face was pale. Her hair was messy and stuck to her face. She was soaked and lay there motionless, beside her father who was also wet. I was in a daze, and my mouth was open. I couldn’t cry out, so I just stared blankly at the government office. The people covered my mother and father with a white cloth and carried them away. The people around me gradually dispersed, and the rain was pattering on my head and body. Looking at the direction they were being carried away, I realized that this was not a dream or an illusion. I chased them in a panic, trying to stop them and ask them where they were going to take my mother and father. But I was too young, and I was hungry and had no energy, and it was raining heavily. I gradually lost my direction and could only walk aimlessly. Finally, I passed out on the side of the road. When I woke up, I was already in the Qingyang Temple. It was the faces of my master and my brother. Later, my master took me in and accepted me as a disciple. I grew up safely in Qingyang Temple. As I grew older, I gradually realized that it was my mother who killed my father to protect me. That night, my mother should have been sleepless. She cooked me the last meal, put me to sleep, left me the only money she had left, dragged my father's body into the river, and threw me into the river. This miserable life is over."

Rong Yu watched the girl in front of him reopen the old scars in his heart, his poor little body was trembling slightly.He took my hand, which was cold because of emotional ups and downs, and gently pulled me into his arms.I felt his body temperature, smelled the faint fragrance of his body, and heard him whisper in my ear: "In order to repay the initial saving grace, my father pointed out a way for your mother to fly up the branch, but it caused Your mother suffered such a catastrophe, and my father felt extremely guilty. In fact, my father had inquired about your mother's traces, but there was no result for a long time. Finally, there was news, but there was a drowning case in the river near the slums in the southeast. It was only when my father confirmed that the female corpse inside was your mother Jiang Yun. Later, my father went to inquire about your whereabouts, and when he learned that you had been brought back to the temple by the Taoist priests of Qingyang Temple, he sent someone to monitor your movements. I know you are growing up healthily and happily." Rong Yu hugged me even tighter, "My father is no longer alive, today I will say sorry to you on my father's behalf, if my father moves faster, maybe he can take you with me Mother is out of the sea of ​​suffering, maybe the ending won't be so tragic. I'm sorry Ruohua."

Hearing Rong Yu's guilt-filled tone, I couldn't stop bursting into tears. Years of grievances flooded my heart, and my mother's face came to my mind again.

In the quiet room, Rong Yu just hugged me so tightly, trying to ease my grief.In his arms, I buried my face in his chest, weeping uncontrollably.
