The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 1232 Family
"Because I've grown up."

My sister was lying on the bed, feeling unhappy.

Gao Yang wanted to change the story, but his mind was so groggy that he couldn't remember any stories.

"Yangyang, Xinxin." Grandma entered the room.

Gao Yang seemed to be grasping a life-saving straw and turned his head happily, "Grandma!"

"Grandma!" Gao Xinxin also got up and rushed into grandma's arms.

"Grandma tells a story!" Gao Xinxin said coquettishly, "My brother didn't tell it well, I want grandma to tell it!"

"Okay, okay, grandma will tell you." Grandma carried Gao Xinxin back to the bed and saw Gao Yang still standing stupidly with a kind smile, "Yangyang, it's getting late, you should go to bed quickly."

Gao Yang didn't leave. He seemed to miss his grandma very much today, but he didn't know how to express it.

He froze in place and pursed his lips: "Xinxin insists that I tell a story, but I can't tell it."

"Haha, I don't blame Yangyang, Xinxin only likes to listen to grandma telling stories." Grandma comforted her with a smile.

"Grandma, why did you come back? And mom and dad, where were you today?" Gao Yang felt a little aggrieved.

"We went to see the factory with your uncle." Grandma sat on the bedside, combing Gao Xinxin's hair and looking out the door: "They are still outside, go quickly."

"it is good!"

Gao Yang ran out of the room.

In the living room, my father and uncle were eating noodles, and my mother was with them.

Dad took a big bite, his mouth bulged, and he gave a thumbs up: "Hmm...it's so delicious. All the delicacies from mountains and seas, golden syrup and sweet wine are not as good as the bowl of noodles my wife ordered! It would be better if I could fry a poached egg." "

"There are no eggs. If you can lay one, I will fry it for you." Mom joked.

"Hahaha!" The uncle laughed heartily: "Brothers and sisters, how can an iron rooster lay eggs? Don't even think about it."

"What's wrong with you?" Dad, instead of being angry, was even a little proud:

"If I don't dig a little bit, how can I save the capital to open a factory with Lao Qing? Brother, you are a single man and you don't understand the pressure of raising a family for me. I can't live in a small shop all my life, right?"

The uncle nodded, "Yes, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your children. Lao Qing is a reliable person, but this business is not as simple as you think."

"How can there be no risk in doing business, so I brought you together for an inspection today..." Dad realized there was someone behind him, turned around and smiled in surprise, "Son, I'm not asleep yet!"

"Don't be stunned, call uncle." Mom reminded.

"Haha, I shouted." The uncle laughed.

"Uncle." Gao Yang called.

Mother brought Gao Yang to her side and tidied up his messy hair, "Yangyang, it's too late today. Uncle will sleep in your room for the night, okay?"

"Okay." Gao Yang nodded.

"Yangyang is so good." The uncle smiled, picked up the bowls and chopsticks and stood up, "It's getting late, I'll go wash up first."

Dad finished the last bite of noodles and took another big mouthful of soup. When he put down the bowl, he found Gao Yang staring at him.

Dad grinned and said proudly: "Son, Dad is going to be a big boss soon. When he makes a lot of money, he will move to the city. We will live in a big house and drive a big car. You and Xinxin will go to the best school..."

"The horoscope has not yet been written, and the cowhide has already blown up to the sky." Mother said with gentle disgust.

"Honey, I'm not full yet, let me have another piece of cake." Dad smiled shamelessly.

My mother was also amused, "I still ate it, and there was a ring of meat on my belly."

"It's time to cut back, let's do it tonight!"

"If you talk nonsense in front of children again, I will tear your mouth apart!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong..."

Mom and dad chatted as usual.

Gao Yang stood aside blankly. His father was going to be the big boss. He was very happy and proud, but he felt a little sad in his heart. He couldn't explain why.

Life is about to change, everything will get better and better, the big city is so beautiful and has everything, he has long wanted to go there. But this place is actually very good. After moving to a big city, what will you do with your home here?

"Yangyang, go back to your room and go to bed." The uncle finished washing and put on his pajamas. "oh."

Gao Yang went back to his room with his uncle.

The uncle made a bed with a mat on the floor, and Gao Yang slept on the bed.

In the dead of night, the moonlight outside the window turned into a ubiquitous veil, covering everything in the room.

Gao Yang opened his eyes wide and stared at the mosquito net.

I don’t know how much time had passed before my uncle’s voice appeared in the darkness: “Yangyang, are you still not sleeping?”

"I don't want to sleep," Gao Yang said.

"You have to go to school tomorrow, go to sleep."

"I don't want to go to school," Gao Yang said, "I want to stay at home."

"That won't work." The uncle looked a little serious and turned over to sit up. "If you don't go to school, you won't learn knowledge. It will be difficult for you to be successful when you grow up."

"Why do you need to be promising?" Gao Yang asked.

The uncle was stunned by the question and thought about it seriously: "If you are promising and capable, you can take good care of your grandma. Your parents don't have to work so hard and can live a better life. You can also protect Xinxin from being bullied. You can still find a wife and won’t be a bachelor like your uncle. You see, there are many benefits.”

Gao Yang thought about it seriously and felt that what his uncle said made sense.

He closed his eyes, "Well, uncle, I'm asleep."

"That's right. Go to sleep. Uncle is asleep too."

"Uncle."

"Eh."

"Thank you." Gao Yang cried.

"Haha, what are you thankful for as a family?" The uncle smiled.

……

Gao Yang fell asleep, and he turned into a butterfly again, flapping his wings up and down. On both sides were infinitely long and infinitely high walls, one side pure white and the other dark.

At the foot is a broad gray river, with a towering tree growing in the middle of the river.

Gao Yang was exhausted and didn't want to fall into the river, so he could only fly to the big tree.

After flying for who knows how long, Gao Yang finally approached the smallest branch on the tree.

A young woman with a gentle face sat on it, wearing a light-colored floral dress, with a blue whistle hanging on her chest. Her long, silky hair was tied up at the end, passed around her left shoulder, and rested on her chest.

"Gao Yang, you're here."

The dormitory aunt stretched out her hand with a smile and let the butterfly land on her fingertips.

Gao Yang could not speak, but his thoughts could be heard by the dormitory aunt.

--Why are you here?

"Why are you here?" the dormitory aunt asked without answering.

--I have no idea.

"Yeah, so let's not worry about such details."

The dormitory aunt smiled and took back her hand, holding the butterfly in both hands like a flower.

Gao Yang rested on the palm of his hand and looked into the distance.

He found that the gray river was different from the last time he saw it. There were no big or small eyes or pale hands. It was so deathly silent that it made people feel panicked, as if time had been frozen.

The dormitory aunt seemed to be sitting on the edge of a cliff, her legs dangling.

"Gao Yang, did you know that there was a philosopher who believed that water is the source of all things?"
