Chu Rui didn't feel depressed for too long, as Song Ning and Hang Shuheng came in with breakfast.

In view of the fact that the fish fillet porridge cooked two days ago received unanimous praise, Song Ning specially bought a fish this morning, sliced ​​the fish meat and cooked porridge, and saved the fish head and fish bones for making soup at lunch.

"Mom, I'm so hungry!"

As soon as Yang Yang saw the breakfast coming, he put his worries behind him, and Chu Rui was relieved. He was afraid that the little guy would turn around and ask his parents for the result, which would be embarrassing.

"Sit there and don't move, or you'll get burned." Song Ning threatened, causing Yang Yang, who had just raised his butt, to sit back down obediently.

Hang Shuheng moved the kang table to Chu Rui's right hand side and placed it there. After he was able to sit up, he asked to eat by himself. After all, although he was a nobleman, he did not have the habit of having others serve him for everything.

Hang Shuheng and Song Ning took Yangyang to have breakfast at the small table in the study.

After dinner, Chu Rui stared out the window in a trance. After two days of clear skies, it began to drizzle again this morning.

After a long while, he withdrew his gaze and said to Hang Shuheng, "When the rain stops, go out and do something for me."

Hang Shuheng paused while wiping the table and nodded, "Okay." He could probably guess that what he wanted him to do was nothing more than passing on a message.

“This could be risky.”

"You staying here is also a risk to us."

"I'm very sorry……"

Chu Rui knew clearly that he could not stay here for long, but he was seriously injured and had difficulty moving.

His whereabouts have always been secretive, but he did not expect that there was a traitor around him, which led to an ambush on his way back to Beijing. If it were not for his men who fought to the death to protect him, he would have died at the hands of the traitor.

It has been several days since he was injured and rescued, but his people have not found him yet. I don’t know whether it is fortunate or unfortunate.

But he couldn't wait any longer. Since this morning, he had always had a sense of foreboding in his heart, and that feeling became stronger with the sound of rain outside.

I hope this rain doesn't last too long...

However, it seemed that God did not hear his prayers. Instead of stopping, the rain became heavier.

-

Xiaoquan Village, Zhang family.

Looking at the increasingly heavy rain outside, Zhang's mother complained for the entire morning.

"Look at you, if you had made up your mind two days earlier, you would have gotten it done while the weather was fine." She couldn't help but complain to Hang's mother. After all her earnest persuasion, she finally gave in, but she didn't expect that the rain came at such an inopportune moment.

Hang's mother was in the opposite mood. Now that it was raining and it was inconvenient to go out, she was not in a hurry. At least her money could stay in her pocket for a while longer.

She retorted unyieldingly, "It seems that you don't feel bad if it's not you who paid for it!"

"Why should I pay? It's not like my son is possessed by a demon. He's fine." Zhang's mother was sarcastic at first, but then she changed the subject, leaned closer and lowered her voice, "If you ask me, this is probably correct. Think about how filial my nephew used to be. Now even his temperament has changed. You've been back to your mother's home for so many days, and he hasn't come to pick you up. He hasn't even sent you a message. Something must be wrong when things are abnormal."

Hang's mother thought about it and realized that it was true. She panicked: "Oh! Now that you put it, it is really like this. Then, what should we do?"

"What can we do? Can you defeat the evildoer?"

Hang's mother shook her head blankly.

"That's why I asked you to make a decision early and ask the witch for help. The witch has her own way to take care of those two evildoers." Seeing that she was anxious, Zhang's mother struck while the iron was hot, "You are so worried about the money. Is this the time to be worried about the money? I tell you, this matter can't be delayed any longer. The sooner you do it, the sooner you can feel at ease. You don't want to live with two evildoers in the future, do you? Be careful that they will bring disaster to you sooner or later."

The more Hang's mother listened, the more frightened she became. She shuddered and quickly grabbed Zhang's mother's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll listen to you. Let's go and ask the witch for help when the rain stops. Or, how about we go in the rain?" She was already a little impatient.

"Are you anxious now? If you had made up your mind two days earlier, maybe the monster would have been captured long ago?" Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Zhang's mother softened her tone. "There's no point in being anxious. You went there in the rain. Do you want a witch to go with you in the rain to capture the monster?"

-

The rain continued for the whole day without any reduction in intensity. At nightfall, it was pouring rain accompanied by thunder and lightning.

The strong flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and the brightness like daylight disappeared in an instant. The rumbling thunder came one after another. Such a night was really depressing.

After much persuasion, Yangyang finally succeeded in staying in the study and sleeping with Hang Shuheng. He rolled around on the bedding with great joy, as he felt that he had not slept with his father for a long time.

In his previous life, he didn't have many opportunities to sleep with his father, so he especially cherished every chance to sleep with his father and danced with excitement.

"Oh yeah!"

After letting him roll around on the bedding for a while, Hang Shuheng spoke up to stop him.

"Okay, stop playing and go to bed! Uncle needs to rest."

After spending several days together, Hang Shuheng learned that Chu Rui was a few years older than he was now, so he asked Yangyang to call him uncle.

"Okay then!" Yang Yang nodded obediently and lay down, then climbed up and said crisply to Chu Rui at the end of the kang: "I'm sorry, uncle!"

"Yangyang did nothing wrong, why are you apologizing?"

"Uncle is a patient and needs to rest well, but I disturbed him."

The sweet words of the children made people laugh and cry. It was the first time that Chu Rui laughed happily in all these days.

"Thank you Yangyang, but don't worry, uncle is much better now."

"Uncle, you feel sick and uncomfortable, right? Do you want to hear a story? When my mother was not feeling well, I told her a story and she fell asleep after listening to it."

Hang Shuheng: …

I really don't want to expose this kid who always falls asleep while I'm telling a story.

Chu Rui asked with interest: "Really? Yangyang can also tell stories?"

"Yes, yes! I can tell many stories. Do you want to hear the story of Calabash Brothers?"

"Huluwa? What is that?"

"The Calabash Brothers are the Calabash Brothers. They are so amazing. Let me tell you about them!" Yangyang didn't need to prepare himself. He knew the story by heart and could tell it fluently: "A long time ago, there was an old grandfather with a white beard. He planted a magical gourd. There were seven gourds in total, and each gourd had a different color..."

"One day, grandpa was captured by a monster..."

"Big Boy went to save Grandpa, but the snake demon was very bad, and it had a very powerful weapon..."

"As you wish, according to my will, the spirit will appear quickly..."

"Hurry up...show your spirit..."

woohoo~~~

As expected, a little kid talked himself to sleep again.

Hang Shuheng showed an expression of "I knew it", and Chu Rui was even more amused and helpless. He felt a little unsatisfied before he finished listening to the story.

"You have brought him up very well!"

“It’s all thanks to the child’s mother.”

Hang Shuheng was filled with emotion. He regretted that he had been absent from the role of father for those years, and he felt distressed and guilty about the relationship between mother and son.

God knows, when he repeated it with Song Ning and learned that he actually had a son, he wanted to shout to the sky:

God has been kind to him.

Even though the thunder and lightning made it difficult to calm down, the continuous rain brought a hint of coolness to the summer night, allowing the two already tired men to gradually fall asleep.
