$743, Parents (1/2)
Father Zhang was sitting on the bedside and saw Mother Zhang sleeping under the quilt. idle
He blew out the oil lamp on the table next to him, lifted the quilt and lay down.
The only sound left in the darkness was the breathing of the old couple.
The two seemed to have fallen asleep.
The darkness that filled the room became silent.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhang's father cleared his throat and said in a hoarse and low voice: "Wife, do you think that our son seems to have a personality that is not similar to ours?"
Zhang's mother was not asleep either.
He immediately replied to Zhang's father: "He is wandering alone outside. I don't know how wronged he has been. His experience is different from ours, and his personality is different from ours. Isn't it normal? You didn't listen to him. He is out there - all the same. The girl from another family has made a private decision for life!
It's not a glorious thing to talk about a life-long private arrangement with a girl from another family.
But when Zhang's mother whispered to her husband, she didn't have to worry too much. There was a bit of pride in her words: "He is a man who can get into trouble... If he didn't have some skills and talents, other girls would easily fall in love with him and be willing to have a private relationship with him." lifelong'?"
"That's not what I want to tell you...
I mean..." Father Zhang's voice was a little dull.
Zhang's mother snorted and said, "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking.
This child, he is our son, our Zhang Wazi!
The words he said to me while sweeping the floor were sincere and leisurely.
If I hadn’t truly experienced the pain of being separated from my parents, I would never have been able to say that!
Don't be suspicious of his identity anymore - you are always afraid of causing trouble and don't want to help your son, but you can't just treat your son who was finally found as someone else's child just because of this? "
"..."
Father Zhang was silent for a while and whispered: "That's not what I meant."
“Previously, when we knelt down to thank the Peach God in front of the Peach God, there was no response from the Peach God.
No son's clothes appeared under the peach tree.
Didn't you also doubt your son's identity at that time..."
"I had some doubts at the time, but now I have no doubts at all." Zhang's mother said. Her voice became a little muffled, and she was about to fall asleep.
But Zhang's father was constantly worried, but he couldn't fall asleep.
Hearing his wife's voice, he sighed lowly and said softly: "Go to sleep, go to sleep, if you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow. We'll go see it under the peach tree tomorrow..."
Why.
This matter of my son is difficult to handle, it is really difficult to handle..."
…
Listening to Zhang's father's sigh in the next room, Su Wu quietly opened his eyes. idle
He lay on the bed and waited for a long time with his eyes open in the darkness.
It wasn't until the breathing sounds of Zhang's father and Zhang's mother sounded alternately and evenly in the next room that Su Wu gently raised an arm and put a piece of pale facial makeup on his face.
The moment the Facebook sticks on his face,
He disappeared from the bed without a sound.
It seemed like something was brewing in the darkness, and it seemed like nothing had happened.
Everything in the room was as usual, even the air flow in the room was exactly the same as before.
And not long after, Xian
Outside the courtyard of Zhang's house, in front of the three peach trees behind the main room, a figure suddenly appeared - Su Wu stood quietly in front of the third peach tree from the left, observing the surroundings, and looking towards the opening in front of him. A peach tree with clusters of pink petals.
The six-day old ghost’s true pupils between the eyebrows opened in an instant,
Under the reflection of his brows and raised eyes, the peach tree suddenly turned into a cold, gray and black tombstone.
The next moment, it returned to its appearance as a peach tree.
Su Wu squatted down in front of the peach tree, turned his palms, and took out a few pieces of yellow talisman paper cut into clothes. On the back of the palm-sized clothes made of paper, Su Wu was written in Yunji characters. His Taoist name, as well as his current basic talisman grade.
He held the pieces of paper clothes, and with a thought, a cluster of flames burst out from under the clothes. The golden-red flames suddenly turned into a dark green color under the peach tree, and instantly engulfed the pieces of paper clothes.
Not long after, several pieces of paper clothes burned into ashes. idle
call--
A gust of wind swept away the ashes.
Su Wu lowered his eyes to the grass at the base of the peach tree and saw several neatly folded clothes among them.
The style and shape of the clothes were exactly the same as the several paper clothes he had burned just now.
…
Zhang's father was filled with sadness and couldn't sleep well all night.
I always wake up suddenly and fall asleep again. idle
After such torment until early in the morning of the second day, his old wife was still sleeping in bed. He opened his eyes but couldn't fall asleep anymore. He simply climbed out of the bed lightly, put on his clothes and left the room.
——First stood outside the window of his son’s room,
Hearing the subtle breathing in his son's room, Zhang's father showed a smile.
There are more people in the family, and it feels really different than before.
My heart feels much more at ease.
After staying outside his son's room for a while, Father Zhang's mood became much better. He raised his eyes and looked at the still dim sky - it was not even bright yet, and it was difficult to recognize people in the darkness. Know the other person’s face clearly.
The sky was still dark and there was no light. idle
He lowered his head and left the courtyard with his hands behind his back, moving to the back of the hall outside the courtyard wall.
When he came to the third peach tree from the left, Zhang Hu became worried about gains and losses. The life he was living now was a life he had only dreamed of for many years.
His son is back home, his wife is with him, and the family is in harmony.
If there are still no clothes under the peach tree that the Peach God gave to his son, won't this dream of mine have to come to an end eventually?
But if you don’t come over and take a look now,
How can you be sure that the child is really your son?
Father Zhang's thoughts were agitated for a while. idle
After standing there for a long time, he finally knelt down and bowed to the peach tree.
He then straightened up and stretched his head to look into the grass under the peach tree - he saw several neatly folded men's clothes under the peach tree, all of which were brand new.
Father Zhang picked up the pile of clothes and breathed a sigh of relief.
Sitting on the grass!
At this time, his wife's voice sounded behind him: "It's our child, right?
Let me tell you, he is our child.
I confirmed it the first time I saw him. idle
You still don’t believe it!
Do you believe it now? "
Hearing his old wife's voice, Zhang's father shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "Don't you also remember this matter and come here before dawn? It's obvious that you were already beating in your heart, but now you feel more confident. ”
"I came here to see what you were going to do!"
“Okay, okay, whatever you say is what it is.
I won’t argue with you. "Father Zhang shook his head, took the new clothes, stood up from the grass, and looked at Mother Zhang behind him with a smile.
Mother Zhang took the clothes from him and looked at the styles of the clothes, but her mind was not on the clothes at all: "You are sure now - that is our child. Xian.
What are you going to do to help your child? "
"This..." The wrinkles on Father Zhang's face suddenly appeared, "I will find an opportunity to discuss this with Mr. Han.
There is always a solution..."
"You discuss it with Mr. Han?
Will he listen to you? "Mother Zhang frowned and looked at Father Zhang, "If you tell Mr. Han about this, our son will never leave the village again - there is still our grandson outside the village! "
"Then, what do you think we should do?" Father Zhang asked hesitantly.
Zhang's mother held the clothes in her arms, approached her husband and said, "It's not like we don't know how to get out of the village?
Although we have never walked outside the village, wouldn't it be enough to quietly send the children to the road at the entrance of the village in the dark at night?
There's no one guarding there either.
——Our village is living like a fairy. No one else would have thought that someone would let such a fairy life go by and run out of the village..."
"Isn't this okay?
Mr. Han has said before that no outsider can be allowed to leave the village.
If they talk nonsense outside, they will bring disaster to our Taoyuan Village..." Father Zhang was still hesitant.
"Do you still think our son is a foreigner?" Mother Zhang glared, "You are still guarding our child!
Manly man, you have been thinking about this for a whole day and you still can’t make up your mind!
Forget it, there is no need for you to intervene in this matter.
Just don't go out and tell others! "
"Hey...wife, let's discuss it again.
Let's discuss it again, maybe there are other ways..." Zhang's father chased after Zhang's mother and followed Zhang's angrily back to the courtyard.
Su Wu was lying in the room, and he could clearly hear everything going on inside and outside the courtyard.
In the yard, free
Zhang's father talked to Zhang's mother in a low voice, but he still thought it would be better to inform Mr. Han about the matter.
The more he said this, the angrier Zhang's mother became.
In the end, the couple did not discuss a specific plan.
At this time, it was getting brighter.
There were several children outside the yard who kept banging on the door.
"They are the kids from the Han family." Listening to the shouts of the children outside the courtyard, Mother Zhang turned to look at Father Zhang, lowered her voice and warned him, "Don't talk nonsense later, let me talk to you." they said.
If you talk nonsense, our family will break up..."
Father Zhang opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say much.
Mother Zhang turned around, walked to the door, and pulled the bolt.
As expected, there were three or four children from Mr. Han's family standing outside the door.
"My old man invited Zhang Wazi to his house for dinner at noon!"
"Where is he? Why didn't you see him?"
Several children were shouting in unison.
There were children who stretched their heads and looked into the yard. Except for Zhang's father pacing in the yard, there was no sign of the young man from yesterday. idle
Mother Zhang smiled and said to the children: "He drank too much last night and is still sleeping in bed.
I'm afraid I won't be able to keep the appointment at noon.
You go back and tell Mr. Han, wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow we will set up a few tables at home and invite all the villagers to come to my house for a banquet! "
She dealt with the matter in just a few words.
Several children jumped away from the gate of Zhangjiayuan.
Father Zhang looked outside the courtyard door and said hesitantly: "If we want to invite the villagers to a banquet tomorrow, we have to prepare the food and drinks today. I will ask the Peach God to give me a favor..."
"What kind of peach god are you inviting?!" Mother Zhang closed the courtyard door again and turned around to plan what Father Zhang would say, "It's not too late. I'm free.
We will send the children outside the village tonight! "
