Rebirth Delay

Shi Yan was dozing off with his head on his hands, but suddenly his hand slipped, and his head fell down like a stone.Shi Yan's upper body shook violently, then suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.The strange environment around him made him nervous, but he calmed down when he saw the little face on the bed.

He didn't dare to sleep deeply. After all, they didn't pay for the bed. Once a critically ill patient needs to be hospitalized, they have to give up the bed.But this night, the town hospital seemed to be very calm, and there were no more emergency patients after they arrived.He also had to ensure that Xu Ze's body temperature dropped all the way to normal, so he seemed to be half asleep, and he could vaguely hear the sound of leaves rubbing against the trees outside the window.

He touched Xu Ze's forehead, and then his own. The temperature of the two was about the same, and Shi Yan felt relieved.

With a sudden movement of the fingers in his hand, Shi Yan immediately looked into Xu Ze's eyes.Eyelids blinked for a while as if startled, and then those star-like pupils opened. Xu Ze stared blankly at the surrounding decorations for a while, then turned to look at the strange boy holding his hand, and asked softly: , "Where is this? Who are you?"

His voice was still hoarse.But Shi Yan couldn't help himself with joy, his eyes were red and red, and his lips were biting again and again, before he could barely control his bursting emotions, and pulled a shallow smile from the corner of his mouth, "Ozawa, I'm Shi Yan .”

Xu Ze looked at him fixedly, a little confused.

Two lines of warm teardrops rolled down Shi Yan's cheeks, and hit Xu Ze's little hand, causing Xu Ze to tremble from the heat.Shi Yan hurriedly raised an arm and wiped his tears on his clothes, but the next wave of tears rushed out of his eyes again, Shi Yan could only wipe it awkwardly while smiling at Xu Ze, for fear of frightening Xu Ze .

"Ozawa, this is a hospital. When I found you, you had a severe fever... Ozawa, from now on...follow me, okay? I have no money, and the place I live in is dilapidated, and I can't guarantee you meals They are all full. But..." Shi Yan's eyes were full of hope, "I will never leave you."

Xu Ze remained silent.

Shi Yan knew he was selfish.If Xu Ze recovers, maybe someone else would be willing to adopt such a cute appearance.Because Xu Ze is still young after all, there is no need to worry about him having ulterior motives.But he didn't want to let go, he trapped Xu Ze all his life, and he wanted to keep him all his life.

Xu Ze was very quiet.

Until last night when the nurse came in to take Xu Ze's temperature, Xu Ze never said a word.

The nurse looked at the number on the thermometer and smiled, then lowered her head and touched Xu Ze's forehead, and comforted, "It's all right, little friend, the fever is gone, and you can go home later, are you happy?"

Xu Ze suddenly raised his head to look at the nurse, then turned his head to look at Shi Yan.Shi Yan stood up, ready to follow the nurse to prescribe some medicine, but Xu Ze grabbed him by the corner of his clothes.When Shi Yan turned his head, half of Xu Ze's face was covered under the quilt, his exposed eyes flashed with a hint of begging, and his voice was low, "Don't leave me..."

Shi Yan's heart seemed to be pinched severely by a hand, and he turned around and hugged Xu Ze, trapping him tightly between his two arms, his eyes began to turn red again.This low-pitched begging is both comforting and distressing.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay, I won't leave you behind. I'll go get some medicine and I'll be back in a while, okay?" Shi Yan comforted softly.In his previous life, he was actually not a very warm man, Xu Ze coaxed him most of the time.

Xu Ze didn't speak, but slowly stretched out his hand and put his arms around the neck of the boy who was not a few years older than him.

A hazy consciousness told him to follow him, to follow this little brother.

Shi Yan sighed, and then smiled again, "Then, brother, turn around, you lie on his back, and brother carries you to get the medicine, okay?"

Xu Ze was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Shi Yan let go of his hand and turned around, sitting on the edge of the bed.Xu Ze sat up a little dizzy, lay on Shi Yan's back, and wrapped his arms around Shi Yan's neck.Shi Yan stood up, Xu Ze's calves and feet were wrapped around Shi Yan's waist, Shi Yan supported Xu Ze's little butt, and asked with a smile, "Xiao Ze, are you ready?"

Xu Ze hummed timidly in a low voice.

Shi Yan smiled and said, "Then brother will take you home."

Xu Ze's head was buried in Shi Yan's neck, and a smile appeared on the corner of the little child's mouth.

I took a prescription from an old doctor nearby, and also prescribed a box of anti-inflammatory drugs.Shi Yan put the medicine in his arms, and walked out of the hospital with Xu Ze on his back.

It was nearly eight o'clock, and the bustle and bustle outside began.

Shi Yan was a little surprised. After looking around for a while, he realized that he had met the big fair in Anxi Town. Looking at the noisy crowd, Shi Yan thought for a while, then turned his head slightly and asked, "Xiao Ze, let's eat something before going back. OK?"

Xu Ze shook his head, and whispered into Shi Yan's ear, "Brother, eat, Xiao Ze is not hungry."

Shi Yan felt a little sour in his heart, but he carried Xu Ze behind his back and walked over to the pancake stand that was full of oily smoke, and said, "Xiao Ze is not afraid, brother has money to buy you food."

Shi Yan put Xu Ze on the stool beside the table, smiled at the boss at the door, and said, "Boss, serve two bowls of small wontons."

At this time, a bowl of small wontons costs [-] cents, and a large bowl costs [-] yuan.The boss responded, and the lady boss over there had already nodded, and when the colander went down, a spoon full of wontons went into the pot.Shi Yan handed over the money, and the boss took it, and came over to clean the table for them with a rag.

Seeing that Xu Ze's face was still pale, Shi Yan did it himself, lifted the thermos bottle in the corner and poured some hot water in front of Xu Ze. "Ozawa, drink some water first."

Xu Ze smiled at Shi Yan, holding the bowl in both hands, drinking water slowly.

After this big pot, the small wontons with more skin and less stuffing cooked quickly, and soon the proprietress came over with two bowls of small wontons with a smile. "Come on, it's a little hot. There's vinegar and chili on the table, make it yourselves."

Shi Yan pushed the little wonton in front of Xu Ze, watching Xu Ze swallow unconsciously.Shi Yan couldn't help smiling, touched Xu Ze's head, and said softly, "Xiao Ze, be hungry, eat quickly, you will have the strength to go home when you are full."

Xu Ze looked over with a pair of clean and clear eyes, saw Shi Yan's eyes full of smiles, nodded subconsciously, picked up the chopsticks, lowered his head, picked the side of the bowl, and pulled the wontons into his mouth.

Seeing him eating, Shi Yan was also very hungry, and quickly stuffed a few wontons into his mouth.It tastes like leek and egg, not much stuffing, but the skin is full, more than enough to fill the stomachs of two children.The stuffing is too salty, and there is no iodized salt at this time, and the coarse salt is eaten a lot in the countryside, and the taste is strong. After a few bites, it will kill the salt seller.

"It's too salty, drink more water." Shi Yan pondered that Xu Ze was sweating a lot, his body lacked water, so it would be a good thing to eat some salt water.But he was afraid of coughing if he ate too much, so he persuaded Xu Ze to drink water.

Xu Ze drank the water obediently.The small face was as smooth and round as enamel from the steaming heat, thin beads of sweat emerged from the tip of the nose, swallowing mouthfuls, which was a bit more delicate than a girl's movements.

Shi Yan couldn't help laughing.

After eating, the spirits of both of them obviously improved a lot.Shi Yan thought about buying some basic daily necessities to go back, but he could no longer eat today and ignore tomorrow like before.

When I go back, I can find someone to buy some asbestos tiles, put some wood on them, and build a small kitchen.When the time comes, buy some vegetables or grow some, and you can cook your own meal.

"Ozawa, can you walk?" Shi Yan asked.

Xu Ze raised his head and smiled, "Well, I can walk, brother."

Tickled by that smile, Shi Yan's heart felt a little itchy, he lowered his head and kissed that clean little face, holding Xu Ze's hand, the big boy took the little one and started shopping.

I bought towels, toothpaste and toothbrushes, washing powder, large buckets and other messy daily necessities, and I bought two yuan and fifty cents pies, and I also bought some dried noodles, Sanzi, Youguo, some vegetables, and so on. It cost 18 yuan and three cents.Shi Yan watched Xu Ze look around curiously, and felt that he was rather bringing his son to the market.Immediately, he spent [-] cents to buy a large piece of maltose, stuffed it into Xu Ze's hand, and asked him to grind it slowly.

Seeing Xu Ze's teeth being stuck together, no matter how hard he bites, he can't stop biting the long bar of maltose, Shi Yan couldn't hold back his laughter.After finally biting off a piece, Xu Ze stretched out his arm and handed the maltose to Shi Yan.His gaze softened, and Shi Yan leaned over slightly in cooperation, biting off a piece with great effort.

Very sweet.

Unlike the fancy assorted candies in the future, which are fruity, soft candy, milk candy and the like, this kind of malt candy is purely sweet, with the strange feeling of being sticky and sticky to the teeth. Kids are addicted.

Shi Yan held a large round bucket in one hand, and Xu Ze, who was chewing malt candy with a happy face in the other, slowly walked out of the market.

In fact, Shi Yan wanted to buy some milk, but it was too expensive.He'd have to hold back every penny now like some old aunts do.However, Shi Yan secretly made up his mind that Xu Ze must drink milk as soon as possible.

"Is it delicious?" Sitting on the Mazda on the return journey, Shi Yan looked at Xu Ze who was licking maltose intently, and couldn't help laughing.

"Sweet." Xu Ze squinted his eyes and smiled, and put the candy in his hand to Shi Yan's mouth again.

Time delay bit off a small piece cooperatively and held it in his mouth.After all, his mental age is there, and he has no obsession with these sweets. On the contrary, Xu Ze, like a child, is greedy for sweets, which makes him a little funny.After thinking about it for a while, I felt depressed again, this is only six years old, how many years do I have to wait.

The thought was fleeting, but most of Shi Yan's heart was still joy, intense joy.

I got off the Mazda and went home holding the child's hand.Shi Yan looked at the small broken house that was getting closer and closer, feeling full of fighting spirit.As long as this person is by his side, he will not be afraid no matter how hard he suffers or suffers.

Opening the door, Shi Yan hugged Xu Ze into the quilt, and piled the cotton padded clothes on the bedside for him to lean against.The miscellaneous food was placed beside him, he tidied it up, and sat down beside the bed.

Shi Yan remembered that he only came to live in this asbestos tile house at the beginning of spring, and spent the whole winter in the cellar of his second brother's father's house.Even if he was still young, no one owed him anything, so Shi Yan was very grateful for borrowing a place to sleep.

There used to be a homeless man living in this asbestos-tile house. He didn't know where he came from, and he didn't know when he left.Shi Yan simply took over here, and moved in with his only bag of quilts and clothes.

Xu Ze ate the candy very slowly, and he was still licking it slowly.He looked left and right curiously, and then turned his eyes back and forth following Shi Yan's movements.

"You're not in good health yet, sleep for a while, okay?" Shi Yan turned sideways to look at Xu Ze.

"Yeah." Xu Ze obediently agreed, handed the candy to Shi Yan, stuffed it into a plastic bag, moved it to the innermost part, and his body became lumpy, and soon only two eyes were left rolling around. , peeking at the delay.Watching his movements, Shi Yan couldn't help laughing.Revisiting what happened when he was a child made him feel that Xu Ze was cute, very cute.

"I sleep with you?" Shi Yan asked.

Xu Ze nodded slightly.

Shi Yan smiled and leaned over his body, kissed Xu Ze's lips, filled with sweet fragrance, pulled away the quilt contentedly, got in, hugged his small body, and then sighed comfortably One sound.

"Brother, are you sure you won't abandon me?" Xu Ze's big eyes sparkled.

Shi Yan rubbed his hair, kissed him carefully on the forehead, and said seriously, "No, never."

After being silent for a while, Xu Ze's eyelids drooped and he yawned softly. He stretched out his small hand and squeezed the corner of Shi Yan's clothes tightly, and muttered in a low voice, "Brother..."

Shi Yan glanced at him, only to feel that the drowsiness that had been suppressed for a long time also surged up, he hugged him in his arms, Shi Yan closed his eyelids, and fell into a deep sleep.
