The Misty Rain in the Republic of China: The wind and rain are thick and rouge chaos

Chapter 53
Feng Yao sat on the edge of the hot kang, staring at the baby on the kang in a daze.She didn't know the baby boy's name, and there was no one to ask if she wanted to, so she decided on her own and named him Xiaoxi. After calling "Xiaoxi" and "Xiaoxi" for a few days, she felt that the name was not very solemn, so she changed "Xi" to "Xi".Seeing her pity for the child, Wan Jiagui was very happy in his heart, but besides joy, he also had other emotions.It's hard to put into words that emotion, he just felt that in Feng Yao's heart, both Moxi and Moxi's children had a higher status than himself.

The two have been getting along until now, but he still only holds Feng Yao's hand.Although the two of them were indifferent before, because he knew Fengyao was his fiancée, he had confidence in his heart, so even if there was a distance between the two, he was not afraid; but now it is different, since Moxi and him After her personal affair was revealed to the world, Feng Yao never talked to him about their marriage.

For his eldest son, he couldn't see good or bad, he refused to admit that he didn't love him, but he was really unwilling to face him.Moxi saw his son as Wan Jiagui, but Wan Jiagui saw his son as more like Moxi—not a concrete image, but an abstract image. On the face of the little baby, he often saw his own eyebrows and eyebrows made Moxi. Xi's usual expression was very scary, as if God specially made this baby to be a witness, so that he could not escape or be blamed.

But now he wants to escape very much.

He thought it would be fine if he didn't love Moxi back then, if he didn't love Moxi at all.

The former Xiao Laizi and the current Xiaoxi have a bit of a sense of "if you have milk, you are a mother".After sucking in the new nanny's arms for a few days, he began to giggle at the new nanny and Feng Yao.Feng Yao was so dazed by his laughter, and she was a little confused, she couldn't believe that this little creature was born by Moxi.

But she also looks like Moxi to Xiaoxi.This little thing has Moxi's outline and Moxi's expression. Although he is too immature to be considered a real person, he can't tell at any moment, or when he yawns, or when he pouts and frowns, Or when he looked around, a little Moxi would flash in his eyes.He has even learned to read words and demeanor, in front of Feng Yao, he will be very delicate, especially capable of crying, clamoring for Feng Yao's hug like a live fish.

Fengyao had never held a child before, and occasionally it made him feel uncomfortable, so he dared to raise his little hands to scratch and scratch at Fengyao—he didn't dare to face his own mother, but he dared to face Fengyao.

Feng Yao was still in a daze, not knowing what to do next, how she should go.Moxi was gone, her mother was gone, and there was no one close to her, so she really couldn't figure out what to do.

She couldn't figure it out, so she thought about it slowly.

Occasionally there are sporadic firecrackers outside, which means that the New Year is coming.

In the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Moxi stood on the top of a small mountain, facing the cold wind and looking at the mountain and the snow.She was still dressed in bright colors and willows, but there were not many clean places from head to toe.After following Chen Wende for many days, she didn't know where she was at the moment, she only knew that the small village behind the mountain was her temporary home.Exquisite clothing and food are all gone, except for the hail of bullets, there is the never-ending smell of gunpowder and blood.

But she can bear it.

Yesterday morning she followed the army into the village and finally got hot water to wash her hair.The water basin was placed on the wooden stool, and she bent down to wash it by herself. Chen Wende took a water ladle, poured hot water down the back of her head, and poured it very meticulously.Neither of them spoke, and their hearts were very calm, like an old married couple.

Silent, calm, but counting.Chen Wende knew that Moxi was waiting for her to die.If she is not dead, she will not leave; if she is invincible, she will not leave either.He didn't remember any great favors he had given her, and he wanted to let her go with her son just because he was really reluctant to kill her—if he was willing, he would really kill her.If he can't get such a beautiful little girl, no one else can want it either!

Hot water was poured on Moxi's wet black hair, and Chen Wende stared at the back of her neck and told her: "Little girl, you will be planted in my hands for the rest of your life."

Raising his other hand, he pinched his fingers to calculate, and then continued slowly: "Before the age of 50, you don't want to be a widow looking for a wild man."

After washing her greasy hair, Moxi breathed in comfortably, "I'm so old, how can I live like this?"

Chen Wende put down the water ladle and picked up the towel, stood up and unfolded the towel to cover Moxi's head, "So, I think I lived to be more than 30 years old, suffered a lot, and enjoyed great blessings, so I wouldn't be wronged if I died early. But Now, I've changed my mind."

He patiently dried Moxi's hair, "I have my own way out, you wait to be my child's mother."

Moxi straightened her back and raised her hand. Through his big hand, she covered the towel and rubbed her head, "The back road? What back road?"

Chen Wende smiled, "Secret it first."

Moxi twisted her buttocks and bumped him, "Just blow."

Whether Chen Wende is bragging or not, Moxi has no idea.Standing on the top of the hill at this moment, she looked farther and farther away, thinking of her son in her heart—the first few days when Xiao Laizi left, she really missed him desperately, but after thinking about it for a month, her longing became obvious. There is a fading trend.Little Laizi has become a thorn, hidden deep in his heart, usually dormant, only picks in the dead of night, pricks her abruptly, and bleeds from her.

Sneezing against the cold wind, she turned to go back, but just turned her head, she met Xiao Wu face to face.Immediately she raised her hand to cover her heart, and she yelled angrily: "Stand quietly behind me, are you a ghost?"

Xiao Wu is growing up, the face of the previous child has gradually become more angular, and there is a faint touch of blue on the lips and chin, which is the late beard that is burrowing out.The appearance has changed, but the expression has not changed. It is still full of world-weariness—both world-weary and people-weary. He likes to ignore everyone he sees, "Godfather told you to go back to eat."

Mo Xi flicked her wrinkled sleeves, and took a step down the hill, "I'm too lazy to scold you for the New Year's Eve. It's the first time we meet today, why can't you even say a word of auspiciousness?"

Xiao Wu turned around and followed her. He was silent at first, and then he opened his mouth after a moment of silence, "Happy Chinese New Year."

Moxi replied loudly without turning her head: "Black leather cow!"

Xiao Wu was taken aback, "What bull?"

Moxi walked faster and faster, with a tendency to trot, "This is English. Happy Chinese New Year in English, it's a black leather cow!"

Xiao Wu quickly followed her, "Do you still speak English?"

"There will be a lot! Miss is Mies, Mr. is Mist, hello is hello, goodbye is Goodbye. I am illiterate, but I am not deaf, I can't write, I can't speak ah?"

Hearing this, Xiao Wu was suddenly a little happy, and wanted to catch up with Mo Xi and say a few more words, but suddenly a group of patrolling soldiers passed by in front of him.When the leading officer saw Mo Xi, he immediately stood at attention, paying greetings and New Year's greetings.Seeing this, Xiao Wu felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on his head. He immediately became dumb and his face returned to pale.

Moxi ignored Xiao Wu and walked straight into the village.The village is a small village, because it is located between several big mountains, so it is almost isolated from the outside world. The best houses in the village are just adobe houses, which were seized by Chen Wende.Fortunately, there are quite a few chickens and ducks to eat in this village, so it is not enough for Chen Wende to become a vegetarian, and other than chickens and ducks, pigs and cattle are naturally doomed to die.

Mo Xi brought Xiao Wu into the door, and saw that the table was full of fat chickens and ducks, and Chen Wende was seated at the head, so she walked over and twisted a towel to wipe her hands and face. At the same time, she heard Chen Wende say, "Little Wu don't go, stay and eat together."

As soon as these words came out, Mo Xi and Xiao Wu were both taken aback.And Chen Wende picked up the chopsticks, and added another sentence before picking up the food, "Moxi, don't wipe it, you come here quickly, I have something serious to tell you!"

Chen Wende has always been indecisive, but now he suddenly became serious, which made Moxi very nervous.She sat down next to Chen Wende, and opposite was Xiao Wu—Xiao Wu hesitated before taking his seat, and before Chen Wende urged him, he obviously gritted his teeth and sat down too.

Chen Wende put a piece of chicken into his mouth, chewed and said, "After this meal, Xiao Wu will go on a long trip to Taiyuan, bring me something back."

Xiao Wu was startled, then asked softly, "Taiyuan?"

Chen Wende picked up a piece of fried meat for him with chopsticks, looked him in the eyes and asked, "Isn't it lost?"

Xiao Wu shook his head blankly, "No, I will find the way."

Chen Wende turned to the front, not looking at Xiaowu or Moxi this time, but only talking to the chicken legs on the plate in front of him: "These days, I have also thought about the way out for the future. I joined the army at the age of 17, relying on leading soldiers Developed, when it was the most prosperous, Yuan Shikai appointed me as a general. Although my general is just a name and worthless, it sounds quite majestic after all, and it is better than nothing. I have won many battles and lost more. , the worst time was in Henan that year, when someone almost beat you to a bare-handed commander, Xiao Wu, remember? I was so worried that I cried a lot in Henan, which frightened you. You were still a child at that time .”

Xiao Wu smiled lightly, as if a little shy, "I remember."

Chen Wende sighed, and continued: "That time, I made it through, not because of my ability, but because of my luck. I was so lucky that I fled from Henan to Hebei. Do the math, eight years have passed, this time Ah, I reckon, I may not have that good life."

Speaking of which, he raised his hand and pointed at Moxi, "I had already planned it, but at worst, I retreated into the mountains and spent money with them. If I didn't go out, they wouldn't be able to catch me. It would take me a day, until I die." But I didn't expect that she could follow me—I might be really old and want a woman and a family. Let me beat the country like a kid again, I..."

He pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "I can't move anymore."

Turning his head to look at Xiao Wu again, he lowered his voice a bit, "I deposited a sum of money in a bank in Taiyuan, the owner of the bank knows who I am, forgive him for not having the guts to seize my money by taking advantage of the fire. You run for me to get the money back, and with what I have on hand, I can make up hundreds of thousands. With these hundreds of thousands, the three of us will find an opportunity to sneak away, and we are not afraid of losing money. place to have a good time."

After saying this, he turned his head and smiled at Moxi, "Tianjin and Shanghai both have concessions. If I go into the concessions, I don't believe anyone would dare to chase me on the territory of foreigners. Then you can rest assured Be a rich wife at home—" He raised his hand and patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder, "I will tell Xiao Wu a beautiful wife. Our two families will be counted as one family, and when you give birth to me, Xiao Wu will be their eldest brother !How about it?"
