Reason is still chaotic

In December, the first snow of this winter fell.

Beiping's harsh winter is by no means easy to pass.Shen Jiali curled up on the mattress surrounded by the quilt, holding Shen Ziqi who was also listless in his arms.There was no stove in the room, and the cold air pricked his skin and joints like countless needlepoints, and his cough became more intense.

Shen Ziqi was like a jelly with no heat, nestling in his arms tremblingly, occasionally raised his yellow and thin face, and called out, "Dad!"

His ability to express is still limited, but his tone is full.Such a coquettish but sad "Dad" has vividly expressed his coldness and suffering.

Shen Jiali now only has such a small family member, his mind is getting more and more clear, and his heart is getting more and more self-blaming.The fat son has now become thin like a refugee child—since Shen Ziqi was sent to this room by Shen Zijing, the only food for father and son was rice porridge.

Shen Jiali was afraid of that door.

Now, when he is emotionally calm, he can also realize that he has escaped from that hell on earth, but he is frightened out of his mind. Once he gets close to that door, he can no longer calm down.

The torture he has been subjected to is still recurring in his nightmares every night. Only when he curls up in his "nest" can he truly feel at ease.

However, Shen Zijing told him that there are heating pipes, drinks and food in the world outside the door.Even if he himself could stay in the empty room and suffer, would he still have the heart to watch the child starve and freeze with him?The child is so young, but he can't help being tortured.

In the middle of December, Shen Ziqi's little face was frozen to the color of purple lily, and he cried and complained all day long, saying "hungry" and "stomach pain".

If you are hungry to a certain extent, don't you have a stomach ache?

Thus, Shen Jiali finally mustered up his courage, and like an old dog about to explore, he crawled out of his "nest" on all fours.

He was still wearing single clothes, and once he left the shelter of the quilt, he was immediately frozen from the outside to the inside.Looking back at the thin son sitting in the "nest", he held his breath and scrambled towards the door.The muscles and bones all over his body were in pain, and after moving only two steps, he was so exhausted that he was about to faint.

When he reached the door of the room, he suddenly went limp, a wave of disgust surged in his heart, and the pain all over his body exploded, causing him to lie on the ground and twitch.However, he was very familiar with this symptom, so he was not panicked. He just closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, and survived the ordeal in cold sweat.

After a while, he slowly let out a long breath.

Raising a hand to pull the door that was ajar, he carefully opened the door. The corridor in front of him was covered with a thick carpet, and a gust of warm wind rushed towards him.

Shen Jiali crawled forward another two feet, stuck his head out and looked left and right.There was no one in the corridor, and the empty room he was in was at the end of the corridor.

Shen Zijing returned home at night, and as soon as he entered the door, a trusted orderly came forward to report that the uncle had left the house.

When the orderly said this, he had a smile on his face, because he knew that the relationship between the commander and the uncle was not good, and it was only because of the relationship between uncle and nephew that he had to support the other party and the other party's youngest son.Since the commander looks down on this uncle, the orderly can also look down on others with the dog's eyes.Besides, Master Uncle is really amazing - it is said that he was beaten in the head by the Japanese, and now he is a little stupid.

Shen Zijing was very interested in the news brought by the orderly.In the living room, he took off his military cloak and riding boots, changed into soft and comfortable casual clothes, held a cup of fragrant hot tea, and entered the corridor while drinking.

The corridor was brightly lit, and he walked steadily forward step by step, and sure enough, he saw Shen Jiali and Shen Ziqi standing at the corner at the end.

He walked up to Shen Jiali and squatted down, smiled and asked, "Third Uncle, why are you thinking about it today?"

Shen Jiali vaguely remembered the grievances and grievances between himself and this virtuous nephew, but there were many details that he could not be sure of, and now his mind seemed to be not very flexible, and he often "settled" suddenly when he was thinking. When will a Jiling react.

He touched Shen Ziqi's little hand in his arms, and replied in a hoarse voice: "It's cold."

Shen Zijing poked his head towards him, and chuckled, "It's cold? You know it's cold too? I thought you were so stupid that the cold and heat wouldn't invade you!" After saying this, he handed the teacup in his hand to Shen Zijing. On Jia Li's lips: "It's hot, do you want to take a sip?"

Sure enough, Shen Jiali opened his mouth, allowing the boiling hot tea to flow into his mouth, and warmed his lungs downwards.After drinking a few big gulps, he hugged Shen Ziqi with great effort, and begged in a soft voice, "Give the child some hot milk."

Shen Zijing continued to chuckle, and after laughing, he commented: "The Japanese are tricky! I see that since you were skinned by them in prison, you seem to have changed your sex now!"

After listening to such ridicule, Shen Jiali didn't feel anything in his heart, and just murmured a request: "Zi Jing, give the child something hot."

Shen Ziqi was taken away by the orderly to drink hot milk.Seeing that Shen Jiali finally regained his vitality, Shen Zijing felt very satisfied in his heart.He wanted to help Shen Jiali get up, but after several failures, he found that Shen Jiali's legs could no longer be straightened.

For this, he has his old idea.Stretching out one of Shen Jiali's legs, he grabbed his knee and pressed down.Shen Jiali cried out in pain, but after joining the army, Shen Zijing developed a loud voice, and when he spoke, he suppressed his screams.

"Why are you arguing? Isn't it for your own good? If you don't stretch your tendons, you'll just wait to crawl on the ground for the rest of your life!"

After saying this, he also pulled Shen Jiali's other leg over to fix it.Shen Jiali lay down on the ground and struggled, but in the end he crushed his back and spine.There were crisp sounds from the bones and joints, and Shen Jiali wailed and coughed, unexpectedly being subjected to such a new type of torture.

Shen Zijing treated Shen Jiali's body by his will, like playing with a puppet or a dead snake.But of course it didn't happen overnight, so after Shen Jiali yelled, he stopped temporarily.

He easily picked him up by the waist, and sent Shen Jiali to the restaurant to sit down.

The restaurant was much warmer than the corridor. Shen Jiali didn't have any shoes or socks, and stepped on the warm carpet with bare feet.Shen Ziqi was already sitting on the ground next to him, holding a big milk bottle and sucking vigorously.

Shen Jiali was in pain just now, but now his body is still shaking.The servants brought the sumptuous meals to the table, and Shen Jiali saw it, and suddenly his appetite grew, and he even forgot about the pain for a while.

Shen Zijing personally handed him a small bowl of rice: "What are you looking at? Eat!"

Shen Jiali looked up at him, but had nothing to say.He picked up a piece of fried meat with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and chewed it with relish.

Shen Jiali ate a hot and full meal, and after drinking milk, Shen Ziqi also ate some egg yolk and lean meat.

Shen Zijing suggested that he take a hot bath to drive away the cold.Shen Jiali was willing to obey, but he hoped to find another servant to wash Shen Ziqi too.He himself does not want to be naked in front of the child, because he is full of scars, and he is afraid of frightening the child.

Shen Zijing agreed very gently, and asked the orderly to take Shen Ziqi away again.

Shen Jiali, this time is really comfortable.

Shen Zijing personally scrubbed him with a big towel, with such great strength that he screamed.But the effect was indeed remarkable. After getting out of the water, he looked a lot whiter.

Wrapping him in a bath towel and sending him to his bed, Shen Zijing stood beside the bed and asked with a smile, "Do you still want to go back to that cold room downstairs?"

Shen Jiali naturally shook his head.

The smile on Shen Zijing's face was unstable, flickering, always seemed to turn into a sneer: "Then sleep with me?"

Shen Jiali looked around, and suddenly realized that he had no "nest", and couldn't help feeling a sense of fear of being helpless: "I'm sleeping with my child."

At this time, a corner of the towel fell down, exposing half of Shen Jiali's body.Shen Zijing stared at the large burn scar on his abdomen, and suddenly frowned and changed the subject: "Do you still remember how you treated me back then?"

Shen Jiali lowered his head, because he didn't really believe in his own memories, so he simply remained silent.

Shen Zijing finally sneered with self-deprecating and self-pitying: "What's the result? It turns out that I didn't save your life? I support you and your son? If you still have a little heart, I'd like to hear Your current opinion!"

Shen Jiali lowered his eyes, speechless, and at the same time unexpectedly discovered that his left nipple was missing a small piece of flesh.

In the past, when Shen Zijing and Shen Jiali quarreled, they would always be the loser.Even if he silently surrendered, Shen Jiali would still throw out a few words of cynicism to consolidate the victory.Today, he intends to regroup and fight this third uncle again, but his skinny and beautiful third uncle curled up in a dazed ball, refusing to respond.

He was a little frustrated and annoyed, but with Shen Jiali's physique, it wasn't worth a beating.He had no choice but to find a room upstairs with a heating pipe.After moving out the furniture and furnishings in the room, he threw a quilt on the ground as usual, and then threw Shen Jiali on the quilt.As for Shen Ziqi, he was also sent in by the orderly.

After everyone else had left, Shen Jiali sat up, feeling a little happy because his whole body was clean and warm.Shen Ziqi had already regained his vigor, rolling back and forth on the mattress with his bare buttocks, yelling indistinctly again.Shen Jiali grabbed one of his little feet, brought it to his lips and bit it lightly, thinking what a lively and good boy this is, but now that he has fallen into such a state, I don't know if this child is destined to grow up .

The next day, very early in the morning, Shen Zijing came over and stretched Shen Jiali's arms and legs again.Shen Jiali screamed earth-shatteringly, almost fainted from the pain, Shen Ziqi was also frightened and cried loudly, while weeping, he pissed into his pants, went forward again, and slapped Shen Zijing's calf.

On the third day, when Shen Jiali saw Shen Zijing, he immediately begged for mercy, and tried to hide in the "nest".However, Shen Zijing easily lifted him out, this time almost breaking his bones.
