Chapter 231 A Chicken Leg

"Brother, you don't need to be polite. If you survived, my husband and I will be very happy." The young woman smiled.

"The weather has just warmed up, but the cold is still too heavy. Let's talk in the room." The middle-aged man said this, helping Lu Xinchao back home.

In the house.

The stove was blazing, and the young woman kept shuttling between the wing room and the stove. She placed dishes one after another on the square table. Although they were all simple vegetarian dishes, they looked extremely delicate under the young woman's exquisite craftsmanship.

The middle-aged man got a roast chicken from nowhere. When he put the roast chicken in the center of the table, Xiao Han'er's eyes showed eagerness, and he licked his lips unconsciously. It was obvious that the child hadn't eaten it for a long time. Too much meat.

"Brother Lu, this is my homemade spirits. Although it's not a good wine, you've just recovered from a serious illness. Drinking two cups can speed up the dispelling of the coldness left in your body." Xiao Shan walked towards Lu Xin with a jar of wine in his arms. Its enthusiastic voice also sounded.

The bowls and chopsticks were arranged neatly, and the family of three sat opposite Lu Xin. When Xiao Shan poured the wine into the bowl, the strong aroma of the wine permeated the air.

"Brother Lu, I offer you a toast." Xiao Shan raised his wine glass, touched Lu Xin's wine bowl, and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, his cheeks were also slightly rosy.

When the strong wine entered, Lu Xin drank it down, which made Xiao Shan laugh loudly and said, "Brother Lu looks thin and weak, but brother, I see that your drinking capacity is extraordinary."

"Literati are good at wine, and it has been passed down since ancient times, which made brother Xiao laugh." Lu Xin said softly.

The more wine they drank, the atmosphere gradually changed from unfamiliar to warm, and the conversation between the two gradually opened up. From the conversation with Xiao Shan, Lu Xin learned that Xiao Shan is a hunter, and as long as the weather is fine, Luo Xin will come out. Tiancheng, go to the outer mountains to hunt some prey and pick some mountain products, so as to maintain the livelihood of the family of three.

It's just that the world has changed, there are many monsters and beasts in the mountains, Xiao Shan doesn't dare to go deep, he can only wander around the periphery of the mountains, and his life is a bit miserable.

Xiao Shan's wife, named Li Ruoxue, took over some darning work every day, added some household items to the family, and even taught Xiao Han'er to read and write every day, and she has been doing this for so many years.

An ordinary and simple family is full of ordinary people's trivial matters. Lu Xin tastes the dishes on the table from time to time, listens to Xiao Shan's words quietly, and communicates with him from time to time, but it also makes Lu Xin and this family appear extremely harmonious.

Time was passing by, but Lu Xin discovered a strange thing. The family of three in front of him was only eating the vegetarian food on the table, but the fatty roast chicken did not move. strong.

"Han'er, this chicken leg is for you to eat."

Lu Xin's thoughts turned, he took off a chicken leg with his own hands, and put it in the children's bowl.

The aroma of roast chicken made the child swallow his saliva continuously, and there was a hint of longing in his eyes, but when the child saw his parents shaking his head secretly, the longing in his eyes faded instantly.

"Big brother, Han'er doesn't like to eat chicken legs, big brother, you eat." The child took out the chicken legs from the bowl and quickly put them into Lu Xin's bowl, but the disappointment in his eyes completely fell into Lu Xin's eyes.

"Brother Lu, our family usually eats vegetarian food. There must be no oil in this belly. I'm afraid that after eating it, I'm going to run to the latrine overnight." Xiao Shan half-jokingly said.

Lu Xin was silent, just picked up the chicken leg again and put it in the child's bowl, looked at the child's eyes, and said with a gentle look: "Brother Xiao loves Lu, but Han'er is growing up, so it's okay to eat some meat."

Lu Xin's voice was so decisive that the couple had no choice but to smile wryly, and then nodded to the child veiledly. This also made Xiao Han'er look happy, and he took the meat in the bowl and went out of the room. His immature voice was even more Then it sounded.

"Han'er is done eating, I have to go back to my room to study, big brother and parents take it easy."

Such a scene made Lu Xin smile, Xiao Shan raised his wine glass again, and the couple also talked with Lu Xin again, but under the extremely strong request of the couple, they said that Lu Xin had just recovered from a serious illness and should eat more meat. Lu Xin also reluctantly ate the whole roast chicken.

The night was like water, the cold wind was blowing outside, Xiao Shan was drunk, the couple also returned to the room, and only Lu Xin sat cross-legged on the bed, constantly feeling the strange emotions brought to him by this family.

The night was dark and everything was quiet, Lu Xin was sleeping peacefully like an ordinary person, but a strange sound suddenly came from the outside, although the sound was not loud, it fell into Lu Xin's ears very well.

Lu Xin opened his eyes and got off the bed. When he opened the door, the scene that greeted his eyes made him freeze in place, unable to recover for a long time!

Next to the stove, Xiao Han'er was crying, and there were broken porcelain bowls scattered on the ground beside him. The child's little hand was scratched by the pieces of the porcelain bowl, and a lot of blood spilled out, which made people feel trembling at first glance. extreme.

The child's crying was not because of an injured palm. He stared at the dusty chicken legs on the ground, his voice choked to the extreme.

He picked up the chicken legs with bloody hands, and kept wiping the dust off the chicken legs with his sleeves, but the more the child rubbed the chicken legs, the more messy the chicken legs became. This also made the child slump on the ground, and uncontrollable crying sounded from his mouth .

at this time!

Lu's confidence was stagnant, he walked to Xiao Han'er's side, looked at the child with serious eyes and said: "Han'er, don't cry."

The appearance of Lu Xin made Xiao Han'er bite his lips tightly. He seemed to have found someone to confide in, and his choked voice rang in Lu Xin's ears.

"Han...Han'er just wants to leave the chicken legs to mother...Mother...mother is weak and sick...hasn't eaten meat for a long time..." The child's voice was extremely choked up, and he was sobbing at this point.

Time seemed to be standing still, and space seemed to be frozen. Lu Xin stood still, staring at the chicken leg in the child's hand, his whole body became silent, and the sound of exhaling between his mouth and nose became extremely heavy at this moment. .

The sadness that had never been felt before rose in Lu Xinxin. Lu Xin didn't notice this kind of emotion. He just stared blankly at the child in front of him. His frozen heart was greatly touched. This feeling Let him be unable to speak, let alone express.

"Brother Lu laughed."

A weak female voice sounded behind Lu Xin. At some time, the child's mother appeared here. She fetched gauze and carefully bandaged the wound on the child's palm. Looking at the child's eyes, it showed the unique kindness of motherhood. brilliant.

"Mother...mother, I'm sorry..." The child held the chicken leg tightly in his hand, and sobbing kept coming from his mouth.

"Mother knows Han'er's intentions, but the chicken leg is already dirty, so let's take it away, shall we?" The child's mother spoke softly, comforting Xiao Han'er continuously, and even sent an apology to Lu Xin look.
