parasitic son

Shen Luyao's home was filled with a sour smell of traditional Chinese medicine.

Her mother, Lu Fenfang, was lying on the bed, her face was pale, and her voice was weak.

"Lu Yao, is your classmate here?" Lu Fenfang reluctantly stood up and greeted Xiaozhen and Liu Xingquan with a smile.

"Yes, this is Liu Xingquan, the monitor of our class, and this is Yan Zhen." Shen Luyao stepped forward to put a pillow on Aunt Lu's back and helped her sit up.

"Liu Xingquan? The parent group praises you every day. You are number one in your grade and you are known as a good student. Lu Yao, you have to learn from your monitor." Lu Fenfang looked at Liu Xingquan and couldn't stop nodding.

Liu Xingquan hurriedly said hello to Aunt Lu, he seemed quite used to being praised by parents face to face.

Lu Fenfang turned her gaze to Xiao Zhen again, "Yan Zhen, I know you, you are a good boy. Oh, you look good too." She turned to Shen Luyao and said, "Hurry up and ask him to sit down. Bring out the fruit and give it to me quickly." They eat."

"Auntie, you're welcome, we'll be leaving in a while."

This Auntie Lu seemed very embarrassed. She kept apologizing to Liu Xingquan and Xiaozhen, saying that she could only make Shen Luyao busy with her own body, which really made her daughter's classmates laugh.

Then she asked Liu Xingquan suspiciously if there was something wrong with Shen Luyao in class that made them visit.

Liu Xingquan quickly shook his head.Xiaozhen looked at Liu Xingquan's hesitant expression, and knew that the matter of lobbying Shen Luyao to participate in the competition would be stuck in his throat.

Aunt Lu was lying on the bed with a weak face, Shen Luyao was the only one busy at home.No matter how you look at it, this is not a good time to lobby Shen Luyao to participate in the competition.What surprised Xiaozhen was Aunt Lu's superficial consciousness.From the moment he entered Shen Luyao's home, he felt Aunt Lu's dark mood, like a thick black mist - a mixture of pain and despair, permeating the air.

Xiaozhen has tasted this kind of emotion many times, especially in the hospital of intelligent creatures. It is the grief of the dying, the despair of giving up hope in life.The moment he came into contact with that emotion, Xiaozhen couldn't help scanning Aunt Lu's upper body. Her vital signs were stable. Although she was a little weak, she didn't look like someone who was terminally ill.

She shouldn't be suffering from any incurable terminal illness, but her emotions have no intention of survival.This is not a good thing, this kind of mentality will direct her brain to let her die slowly, and the thick and dark emotions will spread around like poison, and spread into the hearts of people around her.Shen Luyao, her daughter, had a light blue and clear superficial consciousness that had now been infiltrated with this thick and dark toxin.

Xiaozhen stared at Aunt Lu, and he said, "Auntie, we want to mobilize Shen Luyao to participate in the school sports meeting."

"School sports meeting?" Aunt Lu looked a little confused, she asked Shen Luyao, "Are you going to compete?"

"Mom, I've already declined." Shen Luyao shook her head resolutely, "If I go to train, I won't have time to cook the medicine at night."

Aunt Lu said softly, "But this is a school activity, so you can join in."

"Mom, I won't participate." Shen Luyao turned around and said to Liu Xingquan and Xiaozhen, "My mother needs my care, I really don't have the mood to compete now."

Liu Xingquan remained silent. There was indeed no room for rebuttal for this reason.But Xiaozhen felt that after Shen Luyao said this, Aunt Lu's mood was obviously depressed again.He asked, "May I ask what disease Aunt Lu has..."

Aunt Lu pulled up the thin blanket covering her body, and Liu Xingquan let out a low sound, because under the blanket, one leg of Aunt Lu's trousers was empty.She pulled up her pant leg, and the leg was completely cut off from the knee down.

"A car accident, I had to amputate my limb." Aunt Lu sighed and put the blanket back on. "It's been a few months. Her father is a sailor and he's not at home all year round. Now I can only lie at home and lean on Lu Yao. Yes Mom is useless, dragging her down."

"Mom, don't say that." Shen Luyao said, "Aren't you a nice person!"

Aunt Lu leaned on the backrest pillow, and she repeated sadly: "Mom dragged you down."

Xiaozhen saw that the black emotional poison from Aunt Lu was spreading in Shen Luyao's clear superficial consciousness, and the color of Shen Luyao's superficial consciousness began to become dim.The mother was unconsciously spreading negative emotions to her daughter, and it seemed to be the norm.

This is also a very normal thing.After all, not many intelligent creatures can calmly face their own limbs.Even in the galactic civilization with advanced technology, people use convenient prosthetics to replace residual limbs, which means paying a lot of money. Only the price and high performance will be better.

It's the same no matter what civilization you're in.

Because he really couldn't stand the black fog of extreme frustration, Xiaozhen tried to send some happy messages to Aunt Lu.As a Heretic Mind Eater, he has always disliked directly manipulating the consciousness of intelligent creatures.Consciousness operation is a very delicate matter. Unlike small animals, some operations against the will of Homo sapiens may often damage the brain of Homo sapiens.Unless facing an enemy like the Alien of Ezel, Xiao Zhen will never take tough measures.

Just like now, he threw some hints containing "happiness" and "pleasure" at Aunt Lu, which would only give slight hints to Homo sapiens subjects and would not hurt them.Although this trick failed against Mr. Feng, it was very successful against Internet celebrity singer Xie Ran.

Aunt Lu's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. She smiled and said softly, "If the child's father can come back soon, Lu Yao will be more relaxed." When referring to "the child's father" , her tone was very gentle.Then she shifted her gaze to the small goldfish bowl on the bedside table, and there was a small goldfish in the goldfish bowl.She said softly: "This is the little goldfish that her father bought when I went shopping in the park with me before going out to sea this time."

Her eyes stayed on the goldfish bowl for a long time, and Xiaozhen watched in despair that the bright and happy messages he sent were all swallowed up by the thick black mist, leaving nothing behind.

Aunt Lu's eyes dimmed, and she turned back into that weak woman who had nothing to love.

Xiaozhen clearly heard a sentence in her shallow consciousness: "I am like this goldfish."

The small goldfish in the goldfish tank seems to have injured its fins, showing an unhealthy dark color from the fins to the abdomen.

"This is the little goldfish my dad caught at the stall in the park. It has been raised for more than half a year." Shen Luyao said briskly, she picked up the fish food bag on the side, and threw a little fish food into it.The little goldfish felt that there was bait, and immediately swam to the surface of the water.

However, due to the injury to its fins, the little goldfish could hardly maintain its balance. It turned over half its belly, swam up sideways, and took a few mouthfuls of bait.

(I'm like this goldfish. Half dead waiting to die.)

Xiaozhen heard this sentence again.He raised his head, and Aunt Lu stared melancholy at the little goldfish with half its belly turned upside down. A thick black mist enveloped her whole body.

It has already turned half its belly, and this fish really can't live for a few days, Xiaozhen thought to himself.

************

Both of Shen Luyao's classmates left.

Lu Fenfang leaned against the backrest in a daze in silence, and her daughter thoughtfully turned on the TV for her, but she didn't even watch a word.She has been in a trance for several months since the car accident injured her limbs, and now she still feels like a dream.

She reached out and touched her right leg, and there was nothing under the knee.This is not a dream, but a cold reality.

Now she is a cripple.

Lu Fenfang thought of her relatives and friends who came to visit her. Their expressions of pity and shock when they saw her severed limb made her want to tremble even now.Yes, she was no longer a complete person in their eyes, nor a complete woman, but a cripple lying on the bed.

What would my husband think when he saw her like this?They met each other on a blind date and got married. Her husband is an ordinary sailor. The husband and wife have been together less and more often, but their married life has always been harmonious.Every time her husband comes back from overseas, she will clean up the house, dress herself up beautifully, and cook a table of delicious dishes. Every reunion after returning home is the happiest day of their family.

Now, she can only lie on the bed, becoming a cripple, waiting for her husband to return.What would he think of himself?Pitiful?pity?dislike?What was waiting for him was no longer a caring wife, but a woman with a broken leg, a poor cripple, a cripple who needed someone to take care of her.

And her poor daughter, who has been strong since her accident, has taken on the responsibility of taking care of her cripple after she was discharged from the hospital.Now she has to rush to the vegetable market to buy vegetables as soon as school is over, and cook medicine for her when she returns home.During the period when the wound did not heal, the little daughter also learned to wipe her body clean from the nurse.

This is her most precious daughter, but now she is forced to learn to do these things.

I dragged her down.Lu Fenfang thought.

My daughter, my pearl, my darling, she was dragged down by me, disabled by me.

Even if her daughter is full of energy to do housework every day, she can see the tiredness between her daughter's brows. If this continues, she will wear down her daughter sooner or later.

She cast her eyes on the goldfish bowl on the bedside table again, the little goldfish was swimming in the water lifelessly.Turn over half belly.

It's also a cripple, and dying.

I'm like this goldfish.

***********

That night, she had a strange dream.

She rides a goldfish on the sea.The goldfish is half-turned on its belly, and its fins and belly are unusually dark.

Why would I ride a goldfish?Wait, why are goldfish so big?

Fortunately, the goldfish's belly is very soft, so she doesn't feel too uncomfortable.It's just that the goldfish is half-turning its belly, and looks like it's about to ascend to heaven. She doubts how long this mount can last.

"Where is this?" Lu Fenfang said to herself.

"Sea." Goldfish replied.

"..." For a moment Lu Fenfang didn't know whether to say why I was at sea or why you could talk.She was stunned for a long time and asked, "So, where are we going?"

"To see your daughter."

"Ah?" Lu Fenfang said, "Where is she?"

The goldfish raised its fins and pointed to the distance, her daughter Shen Luyao was waving to her on a small island in the distance.Seeing her daughter's tiny figure, Lu Fenfang couldn't help but feel joy in her heart. She patted the goldfish and shouted, "It's my daughter! Go over here! Go over here!"

Shen Luyao shouted eagerly: "Mom! Mom!" But suddenly a group of big crabs came out from behind her, waving their giant claws and surrounded her. Her daughter tried to escape, but the crabs cast a net , and caught her daughter in the net.

"Mommy save me! Mommy save me!" her daughter yelled in panic on the Internet.The crabs mercilessly dragged her away in the net.

"Lu Yao! Lu Yao!!" Lu Fenfang was so anxious that she went crazy, the goldfish carried her to the shore of the island, Lu Fenfang hurriedly jumped off the fish, but fell to the ground in an instant.She remembered, she was a cripple, she was a cripple, she had no right leg.

She couldn't stand either.She couldn't save her daughter at all.

She lay on the ground, watching the crabs dragging her daughter back to camp, crying uncontrollably.

Goldfish asked, "Why are you crying? Aren't you going to save your daughter?"

Lu Fenfang cried: "I'm a cripple, I can't save her at all." She looked around anxiously, "If my husband is here, if my husband is here, I can save her. Husband, hubby, where are you! !!"

Goldfish said: "Now there are only two humans on this island, you and your daughter. It is a waste of time to rely on others."

Lu Fenfang cried: "But I'm a cripple! How can I save my daughter?"

"I am also disabled." The goldfish said to Lu Fenfang, "but your daughter once fed me fish food. So I will save her." The goldfish swam away without hesitation with its half-bellied belly.

Lu Fenfang lay on the ground and watched it go away. She didn't understand how this goldfish saved her daughter.It's just a crippled goldfish dying, how can it save people?

The goldfish swam near the camp of the big crabs, spitting water bubbles and attacking the big crabs.The big crabs got angry immediately, and besieged the goldfish with their teeth and claws. Their pincers were very sharp, and they kept hurting the belly of the goldfish.The goldfish backed away while beating the waves with its fins.

(Quick! It's now!) Lu Fenfang heard the voice in her head.

(what?)

(I lead them away, you come to save your daughter.)

(but I……)

Lu Fenfang didn't speak any more. She saw that the goldfish with its belly upside down was dying, but it was still fighting with the crabs. Its fins had been torn to pieces by the crab's pincers, and its belly had been scratched. Intestines flowed out.

This is the time for Goldfish to change out for her with all his might.

She gritted her teeth and crawled on the ground until she approached the grove where her daughter was imprisoned.She picked up two branches and propped herself up.But her body still can't maintain balance, it doesn't matter, at least she can still move.There are trees beside her, and she can lean on them as a support.The goldfish had already risked its life, if she could only lie on the ground and cry, she would really be a waste.

My daughter, my daughter, I'm here to save you.

Another lost her balance and she fell to the ground.Hehe, because since she was disabled, she has never done a good rehabilitation, just blindly immersing herself in pain.This is the bitter fruit of her self-pity.She picked up a twig, folded it to a length slightly longer than her right leg, and inserted it directly into the lower limb of her mutilated right leg, blood dripping down the twig.It hurts, really hurts.But it didn't matter, now she could barely balance on the branches inserted into her lower body.

Drops of blood snaked along the ground as she limped.

Mom is here to save you.

The goldfish really lured away all the big crabs.

Shen Luyao, who was bound by the net, was the only one in the camp.

Lu Fenfang and Shen Luyao supported each other out of the big crab's camp.Lu Fenfang looked towards the shore, and the big crabs were still besieging the goldfish, but it was already the corpse of the goldfish.

……

Lu Fenfang woke up from her dream.

She turned over and stared at the goldfish bowl next to the bedside table for a long time. The goldfish in the goldfish bowl had completely turned over and died.

**********

Shen Luyao pressed the alarm and jumped off the bed.She rushed to the kitchen and looked in amazement at her bedridden mother who was standing in the kitchen cooking breakfast on crutches.

"Mom, why are you up?"

"Mom is really depressed in front of me." Lu Fenfang said, "Even a goldfish has more ambition than me. What's wrong with half a broken leg, I can still live well."

"mom?"

"I'm going to start rehabilitation from today. When your dad comes back later, I'll go to the hospital to have a prosthesis. Isn't it just a broken leg? I can still live a good life."

"Mom?" Shen Luyao exclaimed happily.

Lu Fenfang leaned on crutches and turned around with difficulty and said: "School sports meeting, you go to participate in the competition. Participating in school activities is good for you. Your physical education teacher mentioned to me before that you have this talent."

"but……"

"Go, on the day of your game, mom will go to school to watch."

"En!" Shen Luyao nodded.

********************

Mr. Cat said: "Don't you think the script in your dream is a little mentally retarded?"

Xiaozhen said: "Where is the mental retardation, the effect is quite good."

"Mr. Xiao Yuan will definitely not be happy that you pulled the crab out to play the villain."

"I didn't think of any good material for a while, and the big crab is really good." Xiaozhen said: "By the way, we now have a new object to do business with."

He spread his hands, and Li Xiao was standing on his palm: "I will let someone plant the tranquilizing fungus you ordered in the dark at Shen Luyao's house. Thank you for 500 credits."

"Does this thing work well?"

"Absolutely no problem." Li Xiao said, "Sedative fungi can effectively relieve the negative emotions of Homo sapiens, and promote the secretion of dopamine in the brain of Homo sapiens. And it has no side effects on the human body."

"Okay." Xiaozhen nodded, at least Lixiao's assistant seemed more reliable than Boss Han, and he was also cheaper.
