I also want to stick with the bamboo horse today

When the guard drove Lu Zhiheng and Zhuang Wenyao back to No. [-] Middle School, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

There was silence along the way. When we arrived at the school, the guard couldn't bear it any longer. He looked at the two boys in the rearview mirror and said, "Okay, the matter is settled. Don't make such a bitter face, they are not handsome anymore!"

Lu Zhiheng raised his face and smiled back: "Well, thank you uncle."

Seeing that his mood returned to normal, the guard continued: "Today's incident is also a coincidence. I have worked in No. [-] Middle School for so many years, and I have never encountered such a...dramatic incident."

If Mu Mian's mother hadn't happened to lose the invitation, if Zhuang Wenyao hadn't happened to show Shi Quan the way, if Lu Zhiheng hadn't happened to take that elevator...no one knows how things will turn out, no one dares to predict what might happen What a mess it has become.

Countless coincidences put together to create the final result.So they can only believe that this is the best result.

The patrol car drove to Duxing Road, and through the glass windows of the teaching building, we could see the parents still sitting upright, listening to the teachers' speeches.

"Is the parent-teacher meeting over yet?" the guard said.

Lu Zhiheng said: "Yes, it usually opens until after eight o'clock."

"Oh..." The guard slowed down the car, "Then I'll take you back to the dormitory?"

"Let's go to Outer Ring Road, I want to relax." Lu Zhiheng looked at the two of them questioningly, "Is that okay?"

Zhuang Wenyao: "Of course."

Guard: "Why not? It's fine anyway, I'll take you for a ride!"

Lu Zhiheng smiled gratefully: "Thank you uncle!"

"You kid, why are you so polite!" The guard uncle smiled brightly, "I'll take you to the North Outer Ring Road. The aviation department of our school is well built. I heard that you will be able to move in next semester." He glanced at Zhuang Wenyao from the rearview mirror.

Zhuang Wenyao answered, "We've heard about it too."

The patrol car drove slowly, with the spring night breeze blowing by, and the air was silent again for a while.

Lu Zhiheng had been looking at the scenery outside the window just now, but now he slowly looked away.He was waiting for his chance to speak, and maybe now.

"Ah Yao," Lu Zhiheng tilted his head slightly, "Do you still remember my 'birthmark'?"

Zhuang Wenyao was startled slightly, looked at him and nodded.

I remember, how could I not remember.

When they were young, they climbed a tree together. Zhuang Wenyao saw a bruise on his waist that was accidentally exposed, and asked if it was a birthmark, but he did not deny it.But last year Lu Zhiheng let him see it again, but he had disappeared without a trace.

Lu Zhiheng said: "Actually, it's not a birthmark, it's a bruise pinched by my dad."

Zhuang Wenyao's breath stagnates.

The guard also opened his eyes wide in disbelief: "Did your dad beat you when you were young?"

Lu Zhiheng nodded: "When I was young, my mother always took care of me at home. But I always believed that my father loved me and was the second best person after my mother. Every morning when he woke up, he would say goodbye to me with a smile Mom said, Dad went to work again, he worked so hard every day, it was for my mother and me, for our family, his love for us is deep..."

"But one night, I drank a glass of milk before going to bed, so I couldn't sleep well. When I woke up at night, I found my mother crying secretly by my bed... After that, I couldn't sleep again. "

"My mother shed tears silently every night, but I didn't know the reason. Until one day, I didn't know why, I stayed up late at night and couldn't fall asleep, but my father came... That night, I found out that my father seemed to have changed. Just like a person, domestic violence abused my mother."

"It turned out that he went back to gamble after work every day, and he returned home late at night smelling of alcohol and bruises, and took all his grievances on his mother. And my mother also had a serious stomach problem. Every night, she had stomach pains and was sad. Couldn't sleep all night long..."

"It turns out that my father is not happy, nor is my mother. Only I, who know nothing about what they have experienced and the pain they bear, think that they are living in happiness..."

And after he broke through his father's secret, this false happiness finally went to destruction.

That night, Shiquan came back very late as usual.Gu Yan and Shiyue didn't dare to sleep anymore. When night fell, they were like prisoners in a prison, tremblingly waiting for the torture to come, which seemed to have formed a conditioned reflex.

When Shi Quan came back from the casino, he was already smelling of alcohol, but he still wanted to have a drink when he got home, so he ordered Gu Yan: "Serve the food! What did you do today?"

Gu Yan served a plate of cold cucumber very perfunctorily.

"That's all?" Shi Quan was obviously dissatisfied, and he struck the porcelain plate with his chopsticks so hard that he seemed to smash it into pieces, "Where's the meat?"

Gu Yan whispered: "I don't even want to feed my child something nutritious, and I want to eat meat every night..."

Shi Quan raised his eyelids and looked at her, his gaze was stern: "Say it again? Didn't you spend my money on what you mother and son eat and use now? Are you still messing with me?" He kicked her calf.

Ever since he was accidentally bumped into by Shiyue one night, he has become more and more rampant, and he has stopped carrying his children.

The hard sole of the shoe hit the bone in front of her, and Gu Yan was in so much pain that she fell to the ground all of a sudden, but she didn't say a word.

"Mom—" Shiyue screamed and threw herself on her, and was about to cry in the next second, but Gu Yan covered her mouth.

Shi Quan frowned: "Fry another hot dish for me."

Gu Yan endured the pain and got up, patted Shiyue on the back to comfort him, then went into the kitchen alone, cooking.

With the sound of the range hood running, Gu Yan lay on the edge of the pool and retched for a while, then slumped weakly, sat on the ground, lifted her trousers and touched the bruise on her calf, arched her body and sobbed softly.

"Mom..." Shiyue followed at some point, hugged Gu Yan's calf, and blew softly, "Mom doesn't hurt, huh...huh...mom doesn't hurt..."

"Xiaoyue..." Gu Yan's nose suddenly soured, and she hugged the child in her arms.

"Mom..." Shiyue leaned her chin on her mother's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Dad beat mom, why didn't mom fight back? Mom told Xiaoyue that if she was bullied, she would beat her back..."

Gu Yan smiled with tears in her eyes: "Yes, but Mom has no strength and can't beat Dad. If you want to fight back, you must first not be weaker than the other party, otherwise you will only irritate the other party and be treated worse."

Shiyue hugged her mother subconsciously: "Then what should I do in this situation?"

Gu Yan said patiently: "In this case, if you can't beat it, you can only run away."

Shiyue had an idea, raised her head and looked at her mother: "Then let's run away, don't want Dad!"

Gu Yan smiled helplessly: "We can't run."

"why?"

"Because we are a family. You are still young and cannot live without mom and dad."

Shiyue blinked innocently: "I still have my mother!"

"Only mother can't do it..."

Shiyue frowned: "Why not? I think it's good to be with mom! I don't want dad, I hate dad..."

Gu Yan looked at her son with pity: "Xiaoyue really thinks so?"

"Yeah!" Shiyue nodded heavily and hugged her mother tightly, "Xiaoyue just wants to be with her mother..."

Gu Yan hugged him vigorously: "Okay, Mom, think of a way. It's too late, Xiaoyue should go to bed first."

In fact, Shiyue was also sleepy, but when she thought that her father would not let her sleep, and might beat her, she felt very uneasy, so she lied in her mother's arms and acted like a baby: "No, Xiaoyue can't sleep, she wants her to accompany her..."

Gu Yan's heart was pierced like a knife: "Xiaoyue, go to bed first, and mom will accompany you after dinner with dad."

When Shiyue heard it, she yelled in horror: "Mom, don't be with Dad! Dad will beat Mom!"

"Hush—" Gu Yan hurriedly silenced the child, "Then Xiaoyue, let's go have dinner with Dad, and make Dad feel better, so he won't lose his temper."

"it is good!"

Shiyue found what he should do, and immediately gained energy and motivation, ran back to the living room, and sat opposite Shi Quan.

Just in time, Quan took a sip of his wine and grinned at him.

Although that smile made Shiyue's hair stand on end, he still bit the bullet and asked, "Dad, are you happy today?"

Shi Quan was actually not happy.That night, he was extremely unlucky, and he had never won a single game. He had been losing money for several days.But Shiyue is different from Gu Yan, he is his own flesh and blood.Facing his own son, Shiquan seldom used violence against him, but only pinched him when Shiyue first discovered his atrocities. At other times, Shiquan was still willing to show some patience and smile.

"Happy!" The big hand rubbed Shiyue's little head lightly and lightly, and the smell of alcohol and smoke from his mouth made him almost faint.

But for my mother, I want to please my father and make him happy.So Shiyue thought about this in her heart, and forced a smile: "Then dad, eat quickly, go to bed early, and you will definitely have a good dream tonight!"

"Hahaha..." Shi Quan was in a good mood, and smiled from the bottom of his heart, "Wait until Dad finishes eating! Why hasn't your mother finished cooking..."

When Shiyue heard that his father was looking for his mother again, he stood up abruptly.

Unexpectedly, there was a tripping sound in the house at this time, and the whole house was plunged into darkness, even the humming of the range hood disappeared, leaving only the sound of Gu Yan waving the spatula.

"Damn it..." Shi Quan suddenly felt irritable, he poked the chopsticks on the table twice, and just wanted to urge Gu Yan to move faster, but unexpectedly, the chopsticks fell to the ground in the dark.

"Fuck!" Shi Quan's mood suddenly became extremely bad, and he caught a glimpse of Shi Yue who was sticking to the side, and pointed at him, "Son, pick up the chopsticks for Dad."

"Ah, oh..." Shiyue bent down, unable to see anything, and could only kneel on the ground and grope repeatedly.After a long time, his eyesight finally adapted to this dark environment, and he stretched out his small hands towards the two chopsticks scattered at Shi Quan's feet.

"..." Shiquan looked down at him, his eyes were more gloomy than the darkness.

Due to poor food, Shiyue was somewhat malnourished, and his back was thin.Under the thin and slightly see-through clothes, the shape of the spine, shoulder blades and costal arch can be clearly seen, which is very pitiful.

The weak back aroused Shi Quan's desire to abuse, so he shook off his slippers and stepped on his back.

"?" The sudden touch and pressure on his back made Shiyue at a loss, "Dad?"

Shi Quan responded: "Hey."

"Dad...it's so heavy, I can't get up..."

Shi Quan pressed down on the soles of his feet, and suddenly raised his voice: "Who told you to get up!"

Unexpectedly, Shiyue slipped his hands on the ground, and his whole body fell to the ground with a snap.

The child's flexible nasal cartilage felt a painful numbness, and the tooth touched the lip, which was broken, and a drop of blood flowed down the upper lip, and dripped on the floor with a thud, which was particularly bright red and terrifying in the dark night.

He froze for a second, then burst into tears.
