Fundamentals of Catching Immortals

Chapter 507

The woman coughed until her eye circles turned red, she pursed her lips and shook her head: "You're trying to piss me off!"

The young man gritted his teeth and knelt down, bowed his head and kept silent, very determined in his heart.

The woman was so angry that she beat the bed, her voice was hoarse, but she cursed with all her strength: "Nizi! If you don't take the exam next year, you will be unfilial! Your father took the exam all his life, but he was only a scholar in the end. Do you remember that before he died, What did you promise him? For so many years, Mother raised you up by herself, for what? Ah? For what! "

The young man turned his head: "Mother, don't be angry, it's not that I won't take the exam. I just want to go later!"

The woman's lips trembled, and tears finally fell down after a moment.She let out a long breath, closed her eyes and leaned against the head of the bed, her voice weakened: "Mother knows that you are a good boy, and also knows that it is Mother who dragged you down..."

"Do not……"

"Listen to me!" The woman interrupted the young man: "I am very aware of my mother's illness. Her body has already collapsed, and she can only hang like this every day. It can't get better. You said you can enter the hospital after four years." Go to Beijing, but how can mother delay you for four years? What's more, in these four years, if mother is in good health, we will not lose money, but for these four years, mother can only lie on this bed every day, leaving the rest of the family All the little money I got wasted, and there is no other use for it!"

"There is still money at home, mother, I am now working as a bookkeeper at a pawn shop..." The young man was anxious to defend, but the more he said, the more despair appeared on the woman's face.

"My son is a dignified scholar! Apart from the smell of ink, he is not allowed to have the smell of copper! I actually forced my son to get an abacus and do such dirty things! The family's money... the family's money must be kept. For you to enter Beijing..."

As the woman spoke, she coughed again. The young man was so anxious that he could only stretch out his hands and look at his mother anxiously.

"Meow~"

The white cat jumped lightly and landed on the quilt.It screamed softly, and slid into the woman's arms softly, forming a ball obediently, looking at the woman with a pair of big glass-like eyes, as if it was comforting her.

The woman glanced at the white cat, let out a long sigh, and took the limp little guy into her arms: "Okay, you go to study. It's as long as there is a destiny here, mother, and I don't want to see you!"

The young man was silent for a while, and when he saw that the woman was only stroking the cat and ignoring him, he also stood up helplessly.Before he walked away, he looked at the cat in the woman's arms, shook his head and said nothing.

That night, there was a lot of wind and rain.

In the first half of the night, the young man tossed and turned on the bed with something on his mind, unable to fall asleep no matter what.He wanted to serve his mother, but before going to sleep, he found that his mother had locked the door behind him, and he was driven back in a cold voice.

He had no choice but to carry the book and recite it over and over again, and finally fell asleep in a daze.

Then in the middle of the night, he was having messy dreams.

In the dream, Yuan'er screamed like crazy. He wanted to tell Yuan'er to be quiet and not to disturb her mother, but her body was so heavy that she couldn't even speak.

He dreamed of his favorite little cloth tiger when he was a child; he dreamed that his father in long clothes held his little hand and taught him how to write the word "human"; Then he turned around and ran with the meat in his mouth, jumped onto the beam of the house, stood on it and waved his paws at him; dreamed of house servants laughing and passing by the yard in groups, calling him young master cheerfully; dreaming of On the side of the bed with the peony silk curtain hanging on the flower table, the plum blossoms in the plum vase are fragrant, and the young mother is sitting by the bed, holding a half-embroidered dress in her hand, and beckoning to him with a smile...
