Improper stepping stone for men

Ruxin Town is a well-known poor town in Wohe County. The whole town has a total of less than 1 people, including the population of all the villages scattered in the mountains.

There is no beautiful scenery here that can be developed into a tourist area. The land is poor and the food production is worrying. The mountains are full of ordinary trees.

Xiangma Village, which is in the most remote location, is even more poor. A large number of young people choose to go out to work in order to find a way out. There are only a few hundred old people and children left in the small mountain village with only a few hundred people.

Zhou Shuisheng is a rare young man who stays in the village. It's not that he doesn't want to get out of this impoverished mountain village, but because his grandfather, who has depended on him since he was a child, accidentally broke his legs last year, so he had to stay at home to take care of him.

When the dilapidated wooden door was pushed open, there was an ear-piercing "squeak" sound, and a tall young man with darker complexion walked into the dim room carrying a bowl of porridge.

The clothes on his body were old and discolored, the edges of the clothes were fluffy, and there were still a few inconspicuous holes in the clothes, but they were washed very clean.

"Grandpa, it's time to eat." The young man tried his best to make his voice light, but he still couldn't hide the deep exhaustion in it.

"Shuisheng~~" The person on the bed moved, the old voice was very weak and fluttering.

Zhou Shuisheng hurriedly put down the bowl and walked forward, bent down and hugged him vigorously with both arms. The old man had gray hair, and his thin body was nestled in his arms, light and weightless.

Grandpa is getting thinner and thinner, but he can't even make him eat a good meal.

Zhou Shuisheng's nose was a little sore, he sucked hard, and tried to blink back the tears inside.

"It's hard for you, Shuisheng." After being carefully placed on the chair, the old man touched the young man's head distressedly, and sighed, "My body is no longer healthy, so you better leave me alone and go to school! Other schools can't do that." Keep that degree waiting for you."

"Didn't we say it's better not to mention this?" Zhou Shuisheng said unhappily, "How many times have I said it, I am still young, and I will have opportunities to study in the future. If you tell me to ignore you, isn't that just watching you wait? Die? Then who am I? What is the use of reading a book?"

Seeing his resolute attitude, the old man didn't dare to persuade him anymore, he just sighed, and said full of regret: "I should have killed me if I knew it then, it's better than being your burden now."

Zhou Shuisheng said angrily: "Then according to what grandpa said, you didn't dare to pick me up back then, let me drown, and you don't have to work so hard for so many years to support me."

The old man sighed again: "I don't know that your parents are the ones who brought up the baby. The baby has been lost for so many years and they haven't been found. If they were here, you wouldn't have to work so hard."

"I'm afraid he's dead already?" Zhou Shuisheng said casually.

He knew from a young age that he was picked up by his grandfather. According to the elders and aunts in the village, he was washed into the river below the mountain by the flood. When his grandfather picked him up, his face was pale and his last breath was left.

It was grandpa who spent all his savings to send him to the health center in the small town, only to save his life. Later, he couldn't find his relatives, so he pitifully took him in.

Life in the mountains is very hard. When he was scolded by his friends as a child without a father and no mother when he was young, he also hoped that his parents would suddenly appear in front of him to protect him and lead him to live a good life.

But as time went by and he grew up, he buried all those beautiful dreams in his memory. Now he just wants to earn more money and buy some delicious food for his grandpa who has worked hard all his life. He went to the big hospital in the city to treat his leg.

"Why are you cursing your parents?" The old man was so angry that he slapped him, but it was light and weak, and the slap on him was painless.

"You scold them, don't you think what if they have been trying to find you for so many years? Maybe they will find you here after a while."

"Grandpa, let's stop having sweet dreams." Zhou Shuisheng laughed at himself, "When you picked me up, you went to the surrounding villages to ask questions, and even went to the police station to find the police. If they were really looking for me I found it."

The old man also knows this truth. He didn't count on it before, but this year he fell on his leg and could only lie on the bed, watching his grandson being so tired that he couldn't read a book, and he had to work hard to earn money to support him. , The mind that was left behind before became active again.

I don't know what he thinks about being a father and mother. Shuisheng is so smart, he ranks first in the exam every year, he doesn't have to pay tuition fees for high school, and he is so filial and sensible. How could they be willing to leave it outside without looking for it?

Is it really like what Wazi said, the two died long ago?

The conversation between the grandfather and the grandson came to an end, and they were holding up their bowls to prepare to eat, when suddenly a child shouted from outside: "Here, brother Shuisheng's house is here, I brought uncle and aunt, when will you come?" Candy for me?"

"Okay, good boy, thank you for your hard work, I will give you all this bag of candy from Auntie."

Zhou Shuisheng had never heard the female voice in the back, but he was very familiar with the child's voice. He walked out the door with a dark face: "Little Huzi, why did you come home to eat dishonestly? What are you doing here?"

"Also, who did you bring here? You can't take things from strangers, and you can't run around with others. Didn't the teacher teach you?"

It's not that he's not polite, it's mainly because there was a major incident in the village the year before last. The two children were taken away while they were playing outside, and they haven't been found until now.

How could the villagers expect that there would be people coming to steal children in this corner of the mountain, so they were not prepared on weekdays. After experiencing this incident, they strengthened their awareness of prevention, but the children were still not vigilant enough.

This village is located in a remote place, few strangers come here, but now some "uncles and aunts" pop up suddenly, and they give candies as soon as they come up, who knows if they have no good intentions?

When Zhou Shuisheng was born, he was full of defense, but when he looked up, he bumped into a pair of tearful eyes, and he was stunned immediately.

Of course, the group of people came to look for their son, Yang Yan and others. As soon as Mrs. Zeng saw his face that resembled her and her husband's, she had no doubts about his identity. Can't tell.

Zengfu was a little better, but his eyes were sour, he couldn't help but took two steps forward, and said, "Son, we are your biological parents, we have made you suffer for so many years, it is parents who are sorry for you."

In his mind, he had imagined the scene where the father and son were hugging each other and crying. The son asked him why it took him so many years to find him, and then he explained why he was forgiven. However, the young man suddenly took a big step back after being stunned for a moment, and then said "The door closed with a bang.

Great father: "..."

This way of opening the father-son recognition seems a bit wrong?

Blood relationship is a very strange thing, Zhou Shuisheng actually had a premonition the moment he saw the two of them, and the man's words later confirmed his guess, but he didn't know how to react for a while, so he ran away subconsciously.

"Shuisheng, who is that outside?" Mr. Zhou had difficulty moving and his ears were not working very well, he couldn't hear Zengfu's words clearly, and he couldn't help but worry when he saw his grandson's abnormal appearance.

Could this child have caused some trouble?

When he was first picked up back then, Xu Shi fell into the water and was frightened. This child is very timid, like a little mouse, the slightest movement will frighten him into panic.

After following him for a long time, he gradually regained some lively nature. When he was eight or nine to fifteen or sixteen years old, he often caused troubles for him. That is to say, his health has not been very good in recent years, so he became Mature and stable, like a reliable adult.

But maybe it was because he wiped his butt too many times in those few years. When Mr. Zhou saw him hiding, his first reaction was that he was in trouble again.

He couldn't help being a little anxious, he couldn't support him now with his body, what should he do if his grandson was bullied?

Mr. Zhou was excited, and he twisted and wanted to go out to see what was going on, but his legs couldn't move, and he almost fell off the chair.

"Grandpa!" Zhou Shuisheng leaned his back against the door for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he realized his danger. He hurriedly ran up to support him, and said anxiously, "Why are you moving? What if you fall?" manage?"

"Shuisheng!" Mr. Zhou grabbed his arm with his backhand, "Is someone here to cause trouble? Don't be afraid, Grandpa will protect you even if he puts his life on the line."

Zhou Shuisheng didn't expect him to misunderstand like this, he twitched the corner of his mouth, and said: "No, Grandpa, no one is looking for trouble, so don't think about it."

"Really?" Mr. Zhou didn't really believe it, "You're not looking for trouble, why are you hiding? Don't think about carrying it by yourself. Although Grandpa's legs are bad, he won't let anyone bully you."

"It's really not my grandfather," Zhou Shuisheng felt a little helpless, but his heart was warm, he licked his lips twice, and whispered, "The people who came said it was my parents..."

"Your parents?" Mr. Zhou doubted his ears a little bit. Just now, the two of them said that it would be great if they could find their grandson's relatives. It took only a few minutes for them to find them?

Is his mouth open?

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other, and they couldn't recover. The great father outside couldn't wait to knock on the door.

"Son, your name is Shuisheng, right? I know we came so suddenly, it's normal for you to be unable to accept it for a while, but there are some things I still want to tell you, and you don't need to respond, just listen."

"Your mother gave birth to you in the hospital 20 years ago, but something went wrong, and we brought home another child. It wasn't until today when we met an expert that we realized that the child we had raised for 20 years was not Our own."

"Our real child is you who have been wandering outside. As soon as we confirmed the news, your mother and I immediately came all the way to find you under the guidance of an expert."

……

Great-grandfather talked about the cause and effect without any concealment, and kept talking dryly, but there was no movement in the house. The man who is usually able to do a job in the mall has nothing to do with his long-lost parents and children. He turned his eyes to his wife for help.

Mrs. Zeng cried a lot just now, but her mood has stabilized a lot now, she wiped away her tears and walked over, and said softly through the door: "Son, I know you blame us for letting you live outside for so many years, and we don't I beg you to forgive me, I just ask you to give me a chance to get to know us, we love you and will never abandon you on purpose."

After all, she was a little more thoughtful than her husband, guessing where her son's troubles were, she didn't talk too much about her own difficulties, nor was she in a hurry to say anything to recognize each other, she just begged to chat with him softly.

After a while, the wooden door opened with a "creak" sound, and the young man walked out with a wooden face. Facing the longing eyes of the two, he didn't know where to move his hands and feet awkwardly, and he pulled stiffly after a long while. At the corner of his mouth, he said the first sentence to his possible parents: "It's not good to engage in feudal superstition."

"Hiss—" Luo Yongsheng, who was standing at the entrance of the courtyard watching the play, made a sound of toothache. This little brat really doesn't know what to do. If it wasn't for them, cough, if it wasn't for the boss, I'm afraid he might not be able to be accepted in this life. The Zeng family found out that they must have been nesting in this ravine all the time.

They actually say that they engage in feudal superstition, are they metaphysics, metaphysics, okay?

But at this time, the Zeng family and his wife couldn't care about the feelings of the masters, their son was willing to come out to meet them, they were very excited, they looked him up and down eagerly, wanted to get close but were afraid of causing his resentment, and tried their best to restrain themselves.

The scene of a family of three hugging and crying did not appear in the end. Zhou Shuisheng felt that the process of finding them here was not reliable. Although they all said that they looked alike, he still did not dare to recognize them. He was afraid that the couple would find the wrong one. son.

After the two learned about his family's situation, they proposed to take the grandpa and grandson to the city together. They don't believe in metaphysics, do they?There is nothing wrong with doing a paternity test.

Zengfu promised that even if they find out that they have found the wrong person after the test, he will be responsible for the medical expenses of Mr. Zhou, and he will treat his leg injury in a large hospital. It will be easier if he is confirmed to be his own son. For many years, they should give him a pension.

Zhou Shuisheng couldn't refuse this at all. He had long wanted to take his grandfather to the city for treatment, but he couldn't make the trip because of his lack of money. I don't know what year and month it will be.

But he didn't want to take advantage of others for nothing, and proposed that if he wasn't their son, he would treat the grandpa's money as if he had borrowed it, and he would pay it back slowly in the future.

Seeing that he was not bent down by poverty, and still had his own pride, the two great fathers were both relieved and sad, and agreed again and again with red eyes. Anyway, they had already determined that this was their son, and the problem he was worried about would not be solved. exist.

As Yang Yan said before, they really caught up to have dinner with their son, but they didn't take him to have a good meal as expected, but at Zhou's house to eat the vegetable leaf porridge of the two grandparents.

But for the lost and recovered Zeng family couple, as long as they are with their son, the simple porridge and kimchi are also extremely delicious.

Because it was getting late, the road leading to the village could not enter the car. Before, several people parked their cars in the town and walked here. The group decided to rest at Zhou's house for one night and return to J City the next day.

However, the house of the Zhou family was too small to accommodate so many people. In the end, Yang Yan and Luo Yongyuan could only stay at the neighbor's house, and only the great father and great mother lived in their son's room as they wished.

Looking at the shabby house, the two were both sad and thankful. Although their son had been living abroad for 20 years, they finally found him and did not spend his whole life in a muddle.

When the husband and wife were lying on the dilapidated wooden bed where their son had slept for more than ten years, Zeng Zijin in the hospital was also tossing and turning insomnia.

The conditions in this private hospital are actually not bad, and he lives in the best single room. The spacious and bright environment is good, and there are special nurses to take care of him. Aunt Li carefully prepared the meals for him.

However, he was not feeling well, and no matter how comfortable the conditions were, he could not relieve his bad mood.

Zeng Zijin had gauze wrapped around his neck, and a thick layer of medicine was applied to the wound inside, but he knew it was all useless.

Ever since he came to the hospital, his wound showed no signs of healing. Although there was no bleeding that would endanger his life, he was in excruciating pain, and the sedatives were of no avail.

"What's the matter with my parents? They still don't come to see me after I'm like this. Do they still want me as a son?" Zeng Zijin's face was distorted by the pain that existed all the time. angry.

"Master, Mrs. Zhang, and the others went out together, maybe they were trying to help you, young master." Butler Wang actually didn't know what happened, so he could only guess like this, but even though he said that, he always felt something was wrong. .

If two masters were to be invited to heal the young master, and the young master is here, how could they not come here instead of knowing where they went?Even if something is needed, the master and the others can tell him to arrange for someone to find it. There is no need to go there in person, right?

But metaphysics is very mysterious, he doesn't understand it at all, maybe some things need to be prepared by blood relatives?

Thinking of this, Butler Wang calmed down. He was just a butler, and it was not his turn to worry about what the master would do.

"I think those two so-called masters have limited abilities." Zeng Zijin was not comforted, and said with an ugly face, "Instead of asking them for help, it's better to contact them again to see if there are other better masters."

Although he managed to save his life in the end, he didn't forget that he was strangled by the ghost before. That master Zhang kept saying that as long as he was wearing the jade pendant, the ghost could not get close to him, but as soon as she appeared the jade pendant, he exploded. Bu's formation didn't hurt her at all, it was useless at all!

Thinking of being almost strangled to death before, Zeng Zijin's face contorted again, a bit regretful that seeing Jinniang's beauty, he had a romantic relationship with her on a whim.

How could he have thought that when working with ghosts, there would be such a thing as Yin Qi entering the body and affecting his lifespan, and looking at the beautiful female ghost who was gentle and soft and only had him in his eyes, he would be so crazy when he got angry!

I don't know what kind of vision he had in his previous life. He actually fell in love with such a crazy woman, and he still lived a good life with a noble son, but he committed suicide because of her.

"But Master Luo is already the most famous master in J City," Steward Wang said sternly, "If you want to find it from other places, I'm afraid you need a good friend, or you can ask Miss Yu."

Zeng Zijin: "..."

At that time, in order to save his life, he put all the blame on Yu Fu's head, and he had already offended him to death. As soon as Li Gui was taken in, she packed up her bags and left.

If he had known that Jinniang was always by his side, he would not have said those words. Not only did he not clear himself up, but he also left his girlfriend who loved him with all his heart, which was really not worth the candle.

It's not that he loves Yu Fu very much, but after experiencing these things, he understands the power of metaphysics, and he is a little bit reluctant to part with the connections represented behind her.

It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now, seeing how she didn't even want to look at her when she was leaving, he also knew that the chance of coaxing her back was very slim.

"Don't mention her in front of me again." Zeng Zijin said a little angrily.

Steward Wang didn't know what happened in the room, so he was a little surprised. Didn't the two of them still stick together before?Why do you turn your face now when you say turn your face?

Could it be because of Miss Yu's affair between Young Master Qi and that female ghost?But it is true that the young master did not pay attention to this matter, so it is normal for her to be angry.

Zeng Zijin didn't know that his housekeeper was slandering him, and the successive incidents hit him hard. He pulled the quilt angrily and covered his head. Butler Wang thought he was going to sleep and left quietly.

But Zeng Zijin's wound hurts all the time, how can he sleep?After a while, he turned over and sat up, and beat the bed angrily.

"Xiao Jin, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry?" When Aunt Li entered the ward, she saw his angry look, and hurried forward with concern.

Zeng Zijin didn't want to tell her the things he regretted, so he pushed all his brains on his father and great mother, and said angrily: "It's not my parents. Knowing what to do, do you still have my son in your heart?"

Ever since Aunt Li came to the Zeng's house, she was unhappy whenever she saw her son getting close to the Zeng's family. Seeing that he had a quarrel with the Zeng's family, she felt a secret joy in her heart.

He began to put eye drops on the two of them: "Don't be sad, baby, isn't there still mother who cares about you? In mother's heart, you are always the most important. There is a difference between biological and not biological, and blood relationship is constantly giving up. of."

Zeng Zijin was not comforted at all. After hearing her words, he immediately lowered his face and reprimanded in a low voice: "Don't let me hear you say such things again, keep your mouth shut no matter whether you are behind your back or not." , now there are monitoring and listening devices everywhere, if you are accidentally recorded, do you know the consequences?"

Aunt Li was taken aback by his appearance, and nodded repeatedly: "I know Xiao Jin, I will never do it again, don't be angry with me."

Only then did Zeng Zijin look better: "It's good that you know, it's fine, if you have nothing to do, you can go back, anyway, you are useless here."

Aunt Li's face was a little sad, but she didn't dare to make him unhappy anymore, so she could only leave obediently.

It was a sleepless night for many.
