Son

When she woke up the next day, Lin Qing's eyes were swollen into walnuts, Shen Xu pretended not to see it, not daring to embarrass others.

Forget about what happened yesterday, Shen Xu went to the town alone with money to buy things.When the purchases were complete, the sun was shining, my stomach was empty, and I wanted to eat a bowl of noodles, but I hesitated again and again, and finally rushed home.

However, as soon as he stepped into the yard, Lin Qing ran out in a panic holding the little rabbit.

Shen Xu stopped him, "What's wrong?"

With tears still on Linqing's face, he said anxiously, "The rabbit is going to die!"

As soon as the words fell, the tears fell again.

Although Shen Xu hoped day and night that the rabbit would return to the west as soon as possible, she wanted to satisfy her hunger, but seeing Lin Qing's worried face, she couldn't stand by and watch, put down the things in her hand, and took the rabbit to look at it carefully.

The little rabbit shrank into a ball, shaking like a sieve, with eyelashes fluttering, so pitiful.

Shen Xu couldn't figure it out, "How did you make it like this?"

Linqing shook his head in panic, "I was washing clothes in the backyard, and when I came back, I saw it was on its back."

"Is there a veterinarian nearby?"

Linqing was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. In this rural area, apart from Shen Xu, he was closest to this rabbit. After raising it for ten days, he already had feelings for him. At this time, the rabbit's life was dying. Qing panicked, her tears couldn't stop flowing, she choked up and said, "I don't know...whether it will die..."

Seeing his pale face and shoulders shaking from crying, Shen Xu suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of responsibility, took Lin Qing by the hand, and said, "Let's go, go to Aunt Wang first."

Linqing's mind was blank, and he followed him out blankly, secretly praying that the little rabbit would not have any accidents.

Aunt Wang was spinning at home, when she heard someone calling outside, she went to open the door in response to "Come here, come here".

It wasn't the pair of pretty young men standing at the door, but one with a serious face and the other with pear blossoms in the rain. Aunt Wang was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Aunt Wang, is there a veterinarian in the village?" Shen Xu took out a little rabbit from his coat, "The rabbit is sick, and I don't know what to do."

Aunt Wang wanted to roll her eyes.

She thought she was dead.

"Yes, there is one, but I only treat poultry. I don't know if I can treat rabbits." Aunt Wang stretched out her head and glanced at the little rabbit, and said casually, "Isn't this the one I took over? Why haven't I eaten it yet? I want my man to eat it." Killed it for you?"

Shen Xu turned her head and saw that Lin Qing's already pale face became paler than paper, shaking her head wildly and tremblingly said: "No, no, I want to raise it."

"This kind of little rabbit can't survive, it's very delicate, and without a mother rabbit to nurse, it's the easiest to die." Aunt Wang fiddled with the little rabbit, and the rabbit had long been motionless, "Here, while it's still warm, I Tell me a man to peel off the fur for you."

Linqing was so frightened that tears flowed down her cheeks, and she cried, "Where is the mother rabbit, come and feed the little rabbit quickly."

Aunt Wang said: "I killed it early." Pointing to the kitchen, "The meat is still hanging there smoking."

Linqing burst into tears, pulled Shen Xu's sleeve and said: "What to do, don't let it die, I want to raise, I want to raise..."

Knowing that he had deep feelings for the rabbit, Shen Xu quickly patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't cry, at least you are a 16-year-old semi-adult, why are you calling Aunt Wang a joke?"

Aunt Wang smiled awkwardly, "It's okay, it's okay."

Linqing could barely hold back her tears, looked at the rabbit choked up and said, "You save him..."

Shen Xu has a big head, and the rabbit obviously exhales more air than inhales, even if someone who can treat it is found, it probably won't be able to save it.But looking at Lin Qing's appearance of crying, he couldn't tell the truth again.

Then he said to Aunt Wang, "Where does the veterinarian live? Please Aunt Wang show me the way."

Aunt Wang told him something, Shen Xu forgot it, took Lin Qing to leave, and hurried to the veterinarian's house.

Lin Qing bit her lip and tried to hold back her tears. The fingers in Shen Xu's hand were cold and trembling.Shen Xu couldn't understand that he was crying like this because of a rabbit, but Lin Qing's appearance was really pitiful, and she couldn't help comforting her softly: "Don't worry, I'll be with you if you need anything."

Lin Qing pursed her lips and was about to say something when she saw Shen Xu's footsteps paused and her expression slowly changed.

Shen Xu slowly took out the rabbit from his bosom, and stared at Linqing to stand still.

The rabbit, which was still a little hot just now, had already stopped its heartbeat.

Lin Qing reached over with trembling hands, was startled, hugged the rabbit and burst into tears.

The two finally took the dead rabbit to the veterinarian. After a brief examination, the veterinarian said that it was caused by eating unboiled water by mistake.

Back home, Lin Qing hugged the cold rabbit and sat by the rabbit's nest, his eyes were red, and he didn't say a word.

Shen Xu looked at it for a while, couldn't bear it, went over and said, "He's dead, let me bury it."

Linqing shook her head in tears.Looking down at the rabbit in his arms, he was so uncomfortable that he cried again.

Shen Xu sighed, went to sit down, and took him into her arms.

Lin Qing lay on his chest and cried, "It's all me... I shouldn't have brought the wet clothes into the house... It's not like that, it won't drink raw water..."

Shen Xu patted him on the shoulder, softly persuading him, "Don't think that way, haven't you heard what Aunt Wang said, such a small rabbit is difficult to feed, even if it doesn't drink raw water, it will die young due to other reasons. "

Linqing shook his head, crying sadly, "It's dead..."

Shen Xu also felt uncomfortable when he cried, she was still a life anyway, although she couldn't speak, it was a pleasure to jump around in the room, and now she said nothing, it's gone, it's an accident.

"Life and death are fate. No matter how sad you cry, it will never come back. Bury it earlier and let it rest in peace."

Lin Qing cuddled up to him and cried for half an hour before she reluctantly asked Shen Xu to bury him.

When covering the soil, Linqing sprinkled it and shed a tear, and when the burial was over, her voice was hoarse from crying.

Back in the house, seeing the empty nest, Linqing's nose was sore again, and she ran into the bedroom quickly, and buried herself in the quilt.

Shen Xu cooked two bowls of noodles and asked him to eat, Lin Qing's voice came from under the quilt, "I can't eat..."

Shen Xu put down the bowl, went to sit by the bed, pulled down the quilt, saw the teary-eyed person inside, and sighed: "Why are you still crying? A rabbit is crying like this. If someone goes away in the future, you Can't stop crying?"

Linqing pursed her mouth, crying out, "My rabbit is gone..."

Shen Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hugged him into his arms to coax him, "Don't cry, don't cry, if you cry any more, your eyes will break."

Lin Qing grabbed his clothes, and the uneasiness erupted again. He didn't stop crying until he was exhausted from crying.

Shen Xu brought over the noodles and watched Lin Qing eat them slowly, but Lin Qing really had no appetite, so she returned the bowl to him after a few mouthfuls.

Shen Xu picked up a pinch of noodles with chopsticks and brought it to Linqing, "Eat some more."

Lin Qing shook his head, "I can't eat anymore..."

"Take another bite." Shen Xu stuffed the noodles into Lin Qing's mouth.

Linqing had to eat.

Shen Xu shook her head and said, "Even my nephew is not as difficult to coax as you."

Lin Qing blushed, turned her head and said, "I didn't ask you to coax..."

Shen Xu scratched his nose and said with a smile, "I'm crying like a little cat, and I said it's not hard to coax."

Lin Qing blushed, hid under the quilt, and ignored him again.

Shen Xu smiled helplessly, only thinking that the other party was a child, and didn't think about it, so she got up and put away the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash.

Lin Qing was nestled under the quilt, with all kinds of emotions in his heart, sad for a while that the rabbit was gone, and shy for a while to be so close to Shen Xu just now, the two intertwined, and almost cried again.

Shen Xu came over with water and asked him to wash his face, but Lin Qing refused to come out, so Shen Xu had to twist the towel and send it to the bedside.

"Are you going to suffocate yourself?" Shen Xu pulled the quilt, "Come out and wipe your face."

Linqing dawdled for a while before revealing half of his head, took the hot towel and wiped it slowly, not daring to raise his head.

Shen Xu looked at him at this moment as if he was looking at an undeveloped child, depressed because of the loss of his beloved baby, his eyes were red from crying, and his face was twitching, it was so distressing.

He helped Lin Qing's loose hair, and said softly: "It's better."

Lin Qing blushed even more, returned the towel to him, and got into the quilt again.

Shen Xu felt that even her own nephew was not as cute as Lin Qing, touched the top of Lin Qing's head exposed outside the quilt, smiled and stood up to pour water.

After a while, Shen Xu also turned on the lamp and lay down on the bed.

Linqing leaned against the wall to argue with him, Shen Xu poked him and said, "But still crying?"

"Who is crying!"

"It's clearly crying."

Lin Qing turned around angrily, "I didn't cry!"

In the darkness, Shen Xu only saw a pair of bright eyes staring at him very seriously, and couldn't help but burst out laughing, "I'm anxious just to tease you, you're really a child."

Linqing was so angry that she was about to drop the golden beans again, so she thumped her hands and said aggrievedly: "You are bullying!" After a few slaps, she burst into tears again, "My rabbit is gone..."

Shen Xu only wanted to tease him, but she couldn't help teasing him. Seeing Lin Qing crying more and more sadly, she also panicked, "Hey, I've been crying all afternoon, why are you crying again? Well, well, it's my fault. I apologize for my mistake, okay?"

Linqing thought of the rabbit lying in his arms, felt sad, and cried uncontrollably, "My rabbit...my rabbit..."

Shen Xu had no choice but to pull her over and hug her, coaxing her so dryly that she managed to hold back Lin Qing's tears. She couldn't help but let out a breath, feeling that none of the concubines at home could cry like that.

Shen Xu wiped his tears, "It's just a rabbit, why are there so many tears."

Lin Qing was sleepy, and after a long time, he said softly: "When I was young, no one played with me. Master saw that I was pitiful, so he brought a rabbit back to play with me. I was so happy at that time. I don't know how to like it when I hold a rabbit. , raised it carefully, for fear that it would die. The senior brother and sister threatened me, saying that they were going to catch the rabbit and roast it. I was so scared that I didn’t dare to sleep at night. I hugged the rabbit and hid under the quilt, for fear that if I fell asleep, the rabbit would be caught. Let’s go.” He sniffled and said in a low voice: “I’ve been raising it for three years, and I’ve told that rabbit what I dare not tell others. When I miss my mother, I dare not let others know, so I hug the rabbit and cry. The rabbit Maybe knowing that I am sad, he will lick my fingers, as if to comfort me not to cry."

Shen Xu's joking heart gradually calmed down at this moment, and there was a trace of emotion in Lin Qing's words.

He had a similar experience to Linqing, he also lost his parents when he was very young, Shen Xu understands the feeling of wanting someone to hurt but can only hold something and cry.

He patted Lin Qing's head, "What happened next?"

"Then one day, when I came back from learning the piano, I found that the rabbit was gone. I was so anxious that I searched around the yard many times but couldn't find it. In the end, my brother fished out a dead rabbit from the well when he was fetching water. When Lin Qing said this, his voice choked up again, "I always put it in the cage when I left the house, but I forgot that day. It wasn't my negligence, the rabbit would not have jumped into the well and drowned."

Shen Xu felt wet again in his chest, thinking that Lin Qing was crying, so he patted him on the back and comforted him: "It's been so long, don't be sad."

Lin Qing shook his head, "When I saw the rabbit brought by Aunt Wang, I thought of the one I raised before. Both are white, and I think maybe this one is the reincarnation of that one. Give me a chance to raise them again. I thought to myself, this time I will not make the rabbit suffer anymore, I will raise it well, and then find a female rabbit for it and give birth to a litter of cubs. However, it has only been ten days. It's..."

Linqing's tears flowed down, thinking that the rabbit would be gone forever, he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe.

Shen Xu was partly helpless about his characteristic of crying whenever he said it, and partly because he was deeply moved.

Linqing was just a child, and he had no parents to love him since he was a child. Some only had a rabbit who couldn't speak. If he had been wronged, he could only complain to the rabbit.

Halfway through raising the rabbit, the rabbit suddenly disappeared, and the regrets in my heart, accumulated to this day, must all be given to the new rabbit, trying to make up for the regrets when I was young.

After thinking it through in this way, he can also understand the reason why Linqing can't stand crying until now.

I am lonely in my heart and have no one to love, so I tie my heart to a rabbit.

Shen Xu sighed, patted his back, and said softly: "Don't cry, I will be with you from now on."

Lin Qing's heart was filled with soreness, and she grabbed Shen Xu's skirt and burst into tears again.
