C16

Looking at the old willow tree in front of me, that familiar fishing rod and the sound of studying, I wanted to enter, but my body was trembling.

Still, I walked in. I walked slowly, the feelings in my memory, though less than half a year away, were a distant intimacy that I wanted to imprint on my mind for the rest of my life.

As I was reminiscing, I was immersed in my thoughts when I accidentally bumped into someone. I came back to my senses and hurriedly apologized, "Ah, sorry, sorry, I didn't do it on purpose, you didn't … Aunt Wang? "You're Aunt Wang!"

Aunt Wang is the peasant woman at the village entrance, and her brother Wang is still my classmate. Aunt Wang looked at me and doubtfully asked, "This little kid, you know me?"

She doesn't recognize me! I suddenly remembered that Grandpa Sun had erased their memories.

They did not recognize me, familiar people, strange feelings, this kind of intimacy, in this contradictory environment, seems a little lonely.

Unknowingly, I walked to the front of my house. Looking at my father who had yet to go to work, as well as my mother who was cooking breakfast, my nose soured and I almost couldn't hold back my tears.

"What's the matter with you? Where are your parents? "

Just as I was about to open my mouth, I pause and call out for my aunt … Holding back the tears in my eyes, I sniffled, "Auntie, I, I lost it …"

Perhaps the misery of my tears in my eyes moved my mother, who sighed, as if I were pitiful, and let me in.

"Have you eaten?"

Without waiting for me to shake my head, Mother brought me a bowl of rice porridge and let me drink it. Originally, it was her and Father's breakfast. Due to my arrival, Mother only drank some broth. Father looked at it lovingly before giving half of it to Mother from his bowl. Looking at their warm scene, my tears fell into the porridge. My heart felt very warm, just that there was a hint of desolation within the warmth.

After breakfast, Father goes to work while Mother washes clothes. I walk over, "Mother … Auntie, let me do it. "

The mother shook her head with a smile. "You're so sensible at such a young age. It seems that your parents love you a lot."

I nodded and felt like crying again.

When mother saw that I wanted to cry, she thought that I missed my parents. She hurriedly said, "Have you eaten your fill? If you haven't eaten your fill, tell me. I'll cook for you again."

I wiped my eyes and said with a grin, "I'm full. Thank you Auntie."

"Hey," Mom stroked my head. "I don't know why, but I feel very close to you when I see you."

How can you not be friendly? I am your son!

I resisted the urge to tell her everything and relaxed my breath. "Me too, how about today, you be my mother, just for this day!" I'll leave tomorrow! "

Seeing my pleading face, my mother smiled and patted my head, "Good, good, good. Today, you are my son..."

"Mother!" A mother cries out the words in my heart. My grievances and hopes, I couldn't hold it in any longer and threw myself into her embrace, wailing loudly.

Mother patted my back and kept saying some comforting words. After an unknown period of time, I stopped crying. Seeing that it was almost noon, I released my mother and said, "Mother, I'll go cook. Father will be back soon!"

Mother had a look of astonishment on her face, but I didn't say anything more. I hastily ran to the kitchen and started busying myself.

When Dad came back, maybe Mom had already told him. I called him Dad, and he happily agreed. I cooked a table full of dishes that they all liked. Father and Mother sat on a chair and looked at the table. The doubt in their eyes was even more obvious.

Hurry up and eat! Mother, your body is weak. Eat more. Come, Father.

The meal didn't go well. On the contrary, the atmosphere was a little unusual. Father and Mother sometimes frowned and sometimes had a doubtful expression on their faces. It made me feel extremely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, after dinner, I said that I wanted to go for a walk, and my parents nodded in agreement.

"Say, why do I feel that the taste of this dish is very familiar …" Behind him, his mother whispered to his father.

"Me too. Whose child is he?"

I hurried away, and the longer I stayed with them, the more I wanted to tell them that I was their child, but I couldn't.

I went to Grandpa Sun's house. There was still that bench in the courtyard, and I thought I saw Grandpa Sun lying there in the sun again. He beckoned me over to tell me a story.

I touched the bench, my heart uncomfortable, Grandpa Sun, ah, if not for you, I would be living an ordinary life?

Walking to the small forest at the back of the village, the faint sounds of playing could be heard from the inside. It is Little Fatty and the rest's voice.

As I got closer, I saw that the fourth person was a classmate of mine. His surname was Zhang and his name was Zhang Tie Hammer. His father was a blacksmith, so he called him Iron Hammer.

Due to the close proximity, Little Fatty and the others saw me.

"Eh? Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?" Little Fatty shouted. The other three people stopped playing around and looked at me curiously.

"My, my name is Ah Fu." I smiled to hide my bitterness.

"Hey, my dog is also called Ah Fu, you guys have the same name!" Xiao Yu clapped excitedly.

"Shh, rude!" Little Fatty patted Xiao Yu, "Hehe, don't listen to her nonsense. How did you get here?"

"Me? I've lost my way. I will stay at the Zhang Clan at the end of the village today. I will leave tomorrow morning."

"Oh, oh," Little Fatty nodded, "Then let's play together!"

I smiled. "Sure, what are you playing at?"

"We were playing on a wooden horse, my dad did it, for me, Little Treasure and Little Yu, but I don't know why there are four of them … "Since you're here, there's one more person. You just can't sit with me, uh, just like me. You can just sit with Little Treasure."

"No, I want to sit with Brother Ah Fu!" Xiao Yu pouted at the side.

"Well, it's up to you. "Giddy, giddiness, giddiness …"

Fortunately, the wooden horse was rather long, so I didn't feel crowded when I sat behind Xiao Yu.

Looking at her clear eyes, I felt a stabbing pain in my heart. "No, I've never seen her before. Maybe my name is the same as your dog."

"Hmm, that's possible. However, why did you come up with the name of a dog? Do your parents take you for a dog?"

Looking at Xiaoyu's innocent face, I could only smile helplessly and didn't answer her question.

They haven't changed, just like when I left. It's just that, without me in my life, how could they be like me? Sometimes, they feel inexplicably lonely. It shouldn't be. They are together, and I am just one person … Sunset was approaching, and after a reluctant farewell, I returned to my home, but this home, too short.

Mother had already prepared food and was waiting for me and Father to return. Looking at her frail back, I felt really uncomfortable in my heart.

After dinner, it was already nightfall. I accompanied my parents to enjoy the cool air in the courtyard.

"Dad, mom, can you accompany me to count the stars?" I turned my head, hopeful.

"Hmm? "Alright then, look at the brightest one. We will start from that one and continue on our way. One, two, three, four …"

As I counted, my tears came down again. These disappointing tears seemed to love to shed no matter what. Mother asked, did you miss your parents? I said no, you are my parents. When my mother laughs, my father smiles too. Then, we count the stars together, one, two, one, two … "I asked, on the stars, is the legendary immortal? When I smiled, I said it was …" It seems like it's made for you, I don't know who used this blanket, but I've already washed it clean, sleep here tonight, I'll send you back tomorrow morning … " Mom was packing up in my room. As she spoke, she looked a bit uncomfortable.

"Ahh, you've only been here for a day. I don't know why you're so reluctant to part with me. Just thinking about you leaving makes me feel uncomfortable." The mother sighed and sat on the edge of the bed.

"I can't bear to part with all of you …" I choked up and quickly changed the subject. "Don't you have any children?"

"No, but don't you think it's strange? I keep dreaming that I have a child, but I can't see what it looks like. However, its body is quite similar to yours." The mother shook her head with a smile and rubbed her stomach. "Actually, I found out last month that I was pregnant and still haven't told him."

My brother, this is my brother!

I put my hand on my mother's stomach, feeling the weak life inside, I smiled, very happy, I told my mother, this is my brother, in the future, I will be very good to him. Mother said it was good that she had the heart to do so, but she didn't know it was a boy or a girl. It would be better if it was a boy. I've always wanted a brother! Mother laughed again and said how wonderful it would be if I were really her child.

Mother was stunned for a moment before she caressed my head with a smile and nodded her head.

One night, I slept deeply and sweetly. This was a feeling I had never had before on the 13th Peak. That night, I forgot about the Sky Sect, forget about the 13th Peak, forget about Qiu Xi, forget about Ah Hu … In the dream, I was not a person, but a bird, snuggled in the nest, beside my parents, whether or not there was lightning outside, sleeping very peacefully.

I woke up and looked at my parents, who were still sleeping soundly beside me. The sun had already risen … People in the village were already lighting the lamps one after another. I walked to the entrance of the village and looked at the old willow tree. I didn't know why, but I was in a daze.

Time to go! I sighed. It was hard to say if I was more happy or sad to return this time. However, I am afraid that it would be difficult to return from then on. I picked a willow leaf and put it in my palm. Then, I turned around and left slowly. What I can take away, is the most beautiful memory carried on this willow leaf.

Let's go. After I leave, I will be clean and give up. From now on, I will be alone and live my own life.

Perhaps, there was still a chance to see him again! Forget it, I said to myself, and smiled bitterly.
