Flowers and dances

Chapter 14

When Chu Wu heard the sound, she froze and turned her head mechanically. Her heart, which was still on the horizon just now, fell to the bottom of the valley. She opened her mouth with difficulty, "Dad—"

Han Dequn just came back from get off work, holding a flashlight in his hand, and saw a military off-road vehicle parked at the entrance of the alley from a distance. He stopped and took a closer look, and found that the girl beside the car was very similar to Chu Wu. He couldn't stop walking, walked in and took a look, and it turned out that it was really his daughter. The whole person seemed to be struck by lightning, and he stood motionless. His eyes were sharply staring at the license plate, as if there was a raging flame burning.

Xi Haoze got out of the car when he saw people coming, and in the dark, he looked at Father Han, a slightly old man.

Han Dequn's eyes fell on him, the green body hurt Han Dequn's eyes, he tried his best to control his trembling, and looked at Chuwu angrily.

"go back."

Chu Wu gritted her teeth, looked at her father's forbearance, her face was extremely ugly, she lowered her face.At that moment, she didn't have the courage to look at her father, so she turned around slowly.

Han Dequn walked home with a dark face.Chu Wu followed closely step by step, and when she walked into the house, she raised her head to look at the bright moon, and twitched the corners of her mouth helplessly.Maybe this quiet night is about to usher in a storm.

Han Dequn slammed the door in. As soon as he entered, he slammed the flashlight on the ground with a "slap", and it was instantly shattered. "Kneel down for me."

Chu Wu pursed her lips, and slowly squatted down and knelt on the ground.

"Who is he?"

"My student's uncle."

"The student's uncle? Why did he send you back?" Han Dequn gasped.

Chu Wu was not talking, the orange light hit her side face, making Han Dequn think of another face in a trance, he clenched his hands, tried his best to control himself not to explode. "Tell me! Do you know who he is?"

She took a deep breath, "I know who he is, he is a soldier."

The air was silent for a moment, Han Dequn burst out laughing, and muttered, "You know he's a soldier, but you—" He couldn't say the following words anymore, it was the restricted area that the Han family had endured for 17 years.

On the cold concrete floor, her knees were bitingly cold, she looked up at her father's painful face, "Dad."

"Don't call me. How could I have such a mean daughter as you?"

Chu Wu was stunned for a moment, her face was pale, and she looked at Han Dequn in disbelief with trembling corners of her mouth.

"You and your mother are worthy of being mother and daughter. Your mother hooked up with a soldier, and you also embarked on this path. Like a mother, like a daughter."

Chu Wu felt that her soul was slowly leaving her body, her head was buzzing, her eyes were filled with tears, she bit her lip hard to prevent herself from crying, a wave of pain slowly surged in her mouth. The smell of blood.

Han Dequn roared out in an atmosphere, all the resentment of so many years was poured on Chu Wu.He walked up and down the room angrily.

Li Xiuyun was agitated by the quarrel in the living room, she came out with her coat on, and Chu Wu knelt on the ground, "Old Han, why are you so crazy at this late hour?"

"Go in, it's none of your business here." Han Dequn roared heavily.

"What play are you singing? Why are you willing to let your precious daughter kneel on the ground?" She let out a breath and said leisurely.

Standing in front of Chuwu, Han Dequn asked sharply, "Did she, Nan Shumei, come to you and ask you to go back? Now that you know your mother is powerful, you also want to lean on a big tree."

"Dad, I didn't." She said intermittently with a choked voice, "She didn't look for me."

"I didn't look for you, I didn't look for you." Han Dequn repeated, covering the corners of his eyes.She pulled Chu Wu suddenly, with great strength and deep hatred, "Didn't she come to see you at the alley a few years ago!" Every word.

Chu Wu suddenly opened her eyes wide, "Dad, no, she just—"

"What is she just? Missing you? I haven't seen you for 17 years, and I want to take you away. I have raised you for so many years, but now you are doing well, and you lied to me?"

Li Xiuyun looked at her husband's red eyes, her knuckles protruding from Chuwu's clothes, she was too frightened to make a sound, Han Dequn has been silent for so many years, she usually scolds him, but he never retaliates, she doesn't know My own husband will also be furious.

"No." Chu Wu's tears fell drop by drop, her cheeks were wet, she shook her head in panic. "I don't know why she came back. I don't know."

"Get lost! I, Han Dequn, don't have a daughter like you." Father Han's hands trembled, and in his anger, he slapped Chu Wu's face with a "slap".

With a crisp sound, the air froze immediately, and Li Xiuyun opened her mouth wide with an "ah".

Chu Wu only felt that her heart was torn apart, she swallowed her throat, and said nothing more.After Han Dequn slapped him, his hand was still in the air, and his palm was hot.

Chu Wu shivered with her face turned away.

The atmosphere in the living room was gloomy and scary.

There was the sound of keys jingling at the door, and the moment the door opened, a gust of cold wind swished in.Han Chen shook the lotus lantern in his hand, and was a little surprised when he saw Chu Wu, "Sister, you're home, Nuo, I brought you a lantern."

He didn't feel the weird atmosphere at home at all, so he poured a cup of hot water and said with a smile, "I just came back and saw an off-road vehicle in the alley. Here, that car..."

Han Dequn's arrogance that had been silenced just now was pulled out of his throat at the words. He clenched his fists tightly, and kicked the wooden stool in front of him with a snap, and the stool hit Chuwu's calf impartially.He angrily pushed Chu Wu away, and Chu Wu was like a lifeless doll, limply leaning forward, and hit the door with a "boom".

The glass in Han Chen's hand fell to the ground, "Dad, what are you doing? You hit my sister on the head?"

Li Xiuyun immediately walked to his son's side and grabbed his hand, "Shut up, be careful that your father will clean up even you."

"Mom, why don't you stop Dad."

"No, your dad is out of his mind."

Han Dequn opened the door and pushed Chuwu out forcefully, "I, Han Dequn, act as if I never gave birth to your daughter."

Han Chen frowned and pulled Li Xiuyun's hand away, "Dad, are you drunk? That's my sister!"

The door closed with a bang.Chu Wu leaned weakly against the cold door, and slowly fell down. She looked at the dark corridor in confusion, and Han Dequn's violent reprimand came from inside the room, "Han Chen, you have to take a step out of this door tonight. Don't come into this house again."

She felt her body temperature getting colder and colder, and the warm liquid slid across her cheeks and instantly became bitingly cold.The cold winter night gave her more spiritual helplessness and panic.Her head was buzzing, her ears were buzzing, and after a long time, the room gradually became silent. She struggled to get up, step by step like stepping on cotton.

The moon is full and people are short of people. She never thought that she would be kicked out on such a day.

Xi Haoze leaned on the car seat, held a cigarette in his left hand, took a deep breath, and thought about the situation just now, when Father Han saw him, a kind of hatred sprouted in his eyes.He frowned slightly, thinking that Chu Wu's inexplicable rejection of him was really because of his parents.

His face changed, the cigarette butt was extinguished, he started the car, reversed the car, and saw a figure the moment he turned the corner, the shadow under the flickering streetlights was like a ray of lonely soul, frightening in panic.

He clenched his hands, turned off the fire, and walked over quickly, "Why did you come out so late?" His brows were tightly furrowed, Chu Wu lowered his head, as if he hadn't heard his words, slowly passed him and continued Move forward.

Seeing her desperate look, Xi Haoze stretched out his hand to grab her, "What happened?"

Chu Wu numbly stopped, showing no expression. At this moment, she had no more tears, and the corners of her mouth opened again and again, but she found that she couldn't say a word at all.She turned her head slightly, and looked at Xi Haoze in a false way.

As soon as he raised his head, the palm prints on his face clearly fell into Xi Haoze's tears, his long and narrow eyes immediately turned cold, and he clenched his hands unconsciously, "Who hit him?" The voice was not loud but enough to express his anger.

Chu Wu's arm was in pain, she stared blankly at his attire, the grievance and discomfort in her eyes flooded up like a tide, she threw off his hand, tightly held it tightly, and quickly hit him on the chest, " It's all you, it's all you." While crying, tears fell like raindrops little by little.

"Why did you come to me? Why?" she cried, sobbing. "Xi Haoze, you bastard. You are all bastards."

Xi Haoze frowned and let her vent. After a long time, when she was tired from crying and gradually lost her strength, he gently hugged her and leaned her into his arms.

His eyes were dark and heavy, and he took her into the car while she was sluggish.

Chu Wu huddled on the chair, his body was trembling from crying, his face was full of tears, his slender eyelashes were covered with crystal teardrops, his left cheek was swollen, he watched quietly, and took out the The wet towel gently wiped her cheeks, her face was slightly cool, and Chu Wu quickly glanced at her face in shock.

His hand stopped in mid-air, paused for half a second, then wiped it carefully, gently parted the hair on her forehead, and murmured, "You go to sleep first."

Chu Wu was exhausted. For the first time in 22 years, she felt so helpless. Her father's grievances were thrown at her one by one, but she could only bear it silently.The faces of Nan Shumei, Han Dequn, and Xi Haoze kept flashing in her mind. Their faces flashed back and forth, and those harsh words echoed in her ears.

"Like a mother, like a daughter."

"How could I have given birth to such a lowly daughter like you?"

……

Repeated sentence by sentence, her head was about to explode.She shook her head and shouted hard, "No, no."

"Chu Wu, wake up. Chu Wu..." Xi Haoze shook her body, watching her shouting uncontrollably, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.

Chu Wu opened her eyes in a trance, her body trembling uncontrollably, a layer of cold sweat covered her forehead.

Xi Haoze met her bewildered eyes, patted her hand reassuringly, and said, "It's okay, it's okay." He supported her against the bedside, brought her a glass of water and handed it to her.

Chu Wu shook her head, "Where is this?"

"Where I usually come back to live."

Chu Wu didn't say anything else, she slowly wrapped her hands around her body, and buried her head deeply.Xi Haoze looked at her black hair, and asked after a pause, "It's because of me, your father beat you."
