After sending Wu Yang to school, the two returned home.Uncle Li happened to go to the village to play chess with a group of old people, so only Wu Xing and Shang Peng were left at home.

Taking advantage of this time, Shang Peng asked out his doubts.

"Baboon, where are your parents? We have been here for so long, why haven't we seen them?"

Wu Xing was watching TV with his legs crossed at that time, when he heard Shang Peng's question, he froze suddenly, his face turned pale in an instant, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Naturally, Shang Peng noticed his abnormal expression, and took a few steps to sit next to Wu Xing. Shang Peng lowered his tone, as if he was afraid that he would startle Wu Xing, "Baboon, what's wrong...?"

"Doc..." Wu Xing pursed his lips, showing an expression that seemed to be crying or smiling: "Doc, my parents... have both passed away."

"I'm sorry, Baboon. I..." Shang Peng accidentally poked his wound and said apologetically.

"It's all right..." Wu Xing waved his hand and said, "They've all been dead for a long time... It must have been a long time." The last sentence was almost a whisper, so low that people couldn't hear it.

Looking at Wu Xing who bowed his head in silence, Shang Peng didn't know how to comfort him, and he didn't know how to skip this heavy topic, so he simply put his arms around his shoulders and hugged him, "It's okay, Baboon. You still have As for me, buddy, I will always be with you."

Shang Peng made a pun, but Wu Xing only thought he was comforting himself, and didn't care.

After a few seconds of silence, Wu Xing raised his head, showing a faint smile, and slowly said to Shangpeng, "Master Peng, accompany me to a place."

To a place, to a place I've been afraid to go.

……

Almost passing through the entire village, the two turned and turned, and finally reached their destination.

Weeds are overgrown here, green and yellow, and it seems almost impossible to see the end from a distance.

Shang Peng followed Wu Xing, silently following him slowly until he stopped somewhere.

Shang Peng took a step forward, and only then did he see clearly what the situation was here.

Two tombstones stand side by side, one belongs to Wu Xing's father and the other belongs to Wu Xing's mother. The tombstones reflect the young and bright smiles of the two.

Wu Xing's eyes suddenly became sour, and every step forward was extremely heavy.

Shang Peng stood quietly behind him, silent.

"Dad, Mom." Wu Xing knelt down in front of them, and then spoke slowly, but found that his voice was hoarse, "I haven't seen you for a long time... Xiao Xing is unfilial."

"I really want to see you, but I..." Wu Xing sniffed, "I'm afraid to see you again. In fact, I never thought that you passed away. I thought you were waiting for me somewhere. Maybe it's Aunt Wang's house, maybe it's Aunt Guo's house."

"That's right. Dad, Mom."

After saying this, Wu Xing lowered his head and remained silent for a while.Then at some point, the tears that had been swirling in the eye sockets fell uncontrollably drop by drop.

Shang Peng's heart tightened when he watched from behind, he hurried over, squatted beside Wu Xing, and said in a low voice, "Baboons..."

"Dapengzi... I'm not filial, I'm really not filial... I have no face to see them! It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I have no face at all..." Wu Xing choked up, speaking every sentence intermittently.

Shang Peng reached out and patted him slowly on the back, "Baboon, it's okay. Your parents won't blame you, they love you so much, why would they blame you..."

"No, no. They don't blame me, but I blame myself! Da Pengzi, I can't forgive myself..." Wu Xing raised his tear-filled face, looked at Shang Peng with hazy eyes, and said every word. He paused, "You know what? I didn't even see my mother for the last time."

It was the third year of high school, and he was so busy studying that he didn't even call home a whole semester.It wasn't until the day before the college entrance examination that he almost finished his review that he thought of calling home.After the call was connected, Uncle Li answered the call. He said that Mama Wu was not in now and that she was going to Aunt Wang's house to knit winter woolen trousers for him.

Uncle Li's tone at that time was very wrong, if Wu Xing listened carefully, he would be able to hear the clue.But he didn't, he just said something to make my mother remember to call me when she comes back, and then hung up in a hurry.

In fact, at that time, Mama Wu was already in the late stage of gastric cancer, and she was rolling on the bed every day in pain.What kind of pain should it be, so that people like Mama Wu can't help curling up into a ball and rolling around.Wu Xing dare not imagine.

The unbearable pain, Wu's mother gritted her teeth and refused to go to the hospital for treatment, just because she wanted to leave the family money for Wu Xing to go to college.Wu Xing's grades were very good at that time, and when Wu's mother talked about him, she was very proud.So, how could she use the money she was planning to send her son to college for medical treatment?

As a result, when Wu Xing returned excitedly with the notice from the key university, he only got the news that his mother had passed away.

So blame him, blame him!What school did he go to, his mother was gone, so what school did he go to!

Wu Xing went crazy, and it was Uncle Li who persuaded him in the end.Uncle Li said how could he be worthy of his mother if he didn't go to school and was worthless.

But who knows what's on his mind.He would rather not go to school than let his mother see a doctor.His mother is 43 years old, only 43 years old!Before he had time to let her enjoy the blessing, she passed away...

In his freshman year, he was decadent for a whole year.Every night he would dream of his mother convulsing in pain, and then wake up from the dream.

It wasn't until his sophomore year that he cheered up and decided to study hard, raise his younger brother Wu Yang, and fulfill a wish for his mother.

But so many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and every time he goes to his mother's tombstone, he still loses control of his emotions.

Knowing the cause and effect of the incident, Shang Peng finally understood why Wu Xing always couldn't help calling his mother when he fell asleep.

It was that obsession that could not be let go for a long time.

"Baboon, listen to me..." Until Wu Xing's sobs subsided a little, Shang Peng said softly, "Your mother won't blame you, so don't blame yourself, okay?"

"Dapengzi... I understand everything you said, but..." Wu Xing held his head and said in pain: "I can't help it, I really can't help it... As long as I think of my mother, I feel so uncomfortable I can't breathe, it's like...a pair of big hands are holding my heart hard, leaving no space..."

"Baboon, think about it." Shang Peng raised his head and imprinted him firmly: "If your mother saw that you were suffering so much because of her choice at that time, how hard would it be for her? You have endured so much pain during your lifetime, do you have the heart to let her continue to suffer because of your unhappiness after she dies? You are not punishing yourself, you are punishing her..."

Wu Xing bit his lip hard, his lips turned white and he still didn't let go.After a while, he slowly said, "Dapengzi, you are not me, you can't understand..."

Wu Xing was interrupted by Shang Peng before he finished speaking. Shang Peng looked straight at him, not allowing him to hide a bit, "Who says I can't understand?"

"you……"

"My father passed away too, when I was very young." Shang Peng continued to speak slowly, with a low voice: "At that time, I really felt that the sky was falling. My mother took me and my sister alone, and couldn't bear the burden. Due to the heavy financial burden, I had to drop out of school. Then I went to Shaolin Temple to learn Kung Fu for a few years, and then wandered around to work. In recent years, I have stabilized. So Baboon, I understand your feelings.”

Shang Peng didn't want to mention these things hidden in the deepest part of his heart, but in order to let Wu Xing know that he could empathize with him, he would rather open up the healed wound.

Wu Xing was shocked by his heart-pounding words, he opened his mouth wide and didn't close it for a long time.In the end, he swallowed his saliva, and said: "Dapengzi, I'm sorry...I..."

"Okay, you don't have to say anything. Baboon, as big men, there is nothing we can't bear, are you right?" Shang Peng's mouth curled up.

"Yeah!" Wu Xing wiped away the tears on his face indiscriminately, then stood up all of a sudden, and said in a firm tone, "Dapengzi, you're right! I'm a man! A man who stands up to the sky! What's the point of crying all day long?" hero!"

Seeing that he had completely untied the knot in his heart, Shang Peng felt relieved.

"Da Pengzi, let's go. I will definitely visit my parents often in the future. No matter where they are, as long as they see me, they will be happy, right?"

"Yeah." Shang Peng smiled, "Let's go back quickly, seeing you crying so much, your eyeballs are swollen, go back and wash your face!"

"Hey..." Wu Xing rubbed his head embarrassingly, "Dapengzi, you helped me again. I really don't know how to thank you."

"It's okay." Shang Peng raised his eyebrows.

In fact, what he wanted to say was—it doesn't matter, as long as you promise with your body.

But in front of Wu Xing's parents, Shang Peng would never dare to do anything wrong.These words can only be said to Wu Xing when I go back.
