Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 132 The Kind Father I Have Never Met

"So, you dreamed about your mother?"

The girl handed over a tissue with a strange look on her face and watched Ran Qing wipe away the tears from her face.

The sky outside was getting brighter, and sunlight came into the house through the crack in the door.

Ran Qing, who usually gets up very early, slept very soundly today and there was no movement.

So the girl came to wake him up, but she didn't expect to run into...

Thinking back to the mournful and sad "Mom" just now, and looking at the sad and weak boy in front of him, Mo Li blinked.

Being called "Mom" by such a pretty peer, for some reason, she felt a strange and unfamiliar throbbing in her heart.

There are even some...

The girl quickly lowered her eyelids and looked down at her toes, trying to hide her guilt.

Ran Qing was still immersed in his dream and did not notice the girl's abnormality.

That warm, kind, and familiar feeling is so real, as if I were being embraced by my mother, so safe and happy...

"It wasn't a dream, she really came to me last night."

Ran Qing murmured in a low voice, his tone extremely firm.

The more you recall what happened when you were half asleep and half awake, the more real it seems.

His mother, whose face was a bit blurry in his memory, actually came to his bedside last night, gently caressed his face, and called him softly...

Mo Li stared at Ran Qing in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost: "Are you saying that the monster that came to cut open your stomach last night was actually your mother? Did you see its true appearance?"

The girl finished speaking, then shook her head in denial: "That's not right. Didn't you say before that the monster was tall and slender? This kind of monster can't be your mother, right?"

The girl looked confused.

Ran Qing looked up at her speechlessly: "I mean, after that monster left last night, my mother came to see me."

Ran Qing's tone was very firm.

His face seemed to still bear the warmth of his mother's gentle touch.

This made him even more certain that his mother had come.

But the girl remained silent and hesitated.

"But...your mother is dead."

After saying this, the girl immediately felt that there was something wrong with this sentence.

She quickly added, "Didn't you say she died many years ago? How could a dead person come back to see you?"

There is no underworld in this world. Even if the dead come back to life on the seventh day after death, they will not come to hug their relatives.

They only come to kill their relatives.

The happy story of deceased relatives coming to your side in your dreams and taking a last peaceful look at you only exists in stories.

Ran Qing also understood this truth, and he fell silent.

Then the boy took out two copper coins from under his pillow.

When he got his first copper coin, he saw a strange monster coming to his home at night.

Now that he had obtained the second copper coin, he actually saw his mother coming to his side...

"Perhaps it's because of this copper coin," Ran Qing murmured, "It allows me to see things that I couldn't see before."

"Maybe my mother has always been by my side..."

After his mother died, her body stayed with Ran Qing until it was taken away by that man not long ago.

And now, she actually spoke to Ran Qing...

Ran Qing said: "I want to go to the hospital."

The man had a broken bone and needed to be treated in the hospital for a long time. He is probably still in the hospital.

So many things happened on the night that Sixth Aunt passed away, and Ran Qing was filled with anxiety, uneasiness, and anger.

He didn't have time to find the man to ask him about his mother's death.

He thought his mother's body had been taken away, and he just had to wait for the man to find out what had happened to the body.

But now Ran Qing discovered that his mother was still by his side...

Little Mianhua said weakly, "But Ran Qing, didn't you say that you would never...?"

Before Little Mianhua could finish her words, the quick-witted girl grabbed her neck and covered her mouth. When Ran Qing looked over, he saw Mo Li giving her an embarrassed smile: "Um... Sister Mianhua is silly, don't be angry with her."

The girl could clearly feel that Ran Qing was in a bad mood due to his silence.

Although he looked silent and calm, the pale-faced, bruised young man sitting on the bed looked like a volcano about to erupt.

The two looked at each other again, and Ran Qing shook his head and said, "I did say that I don't want to see him again. There's nothing wrong with that."

Even if Xiao Mianhua didn't say anything, she would definitely be ridiculed by that man when she went to the city hospital to see him later.

Ran Qing has already made such preparations.

He should actually go meet the other party.

I got up, washed my face and brushed my teeth, called Teacher Jin to ask for two classes off, and then simply cooked a bowl of noodles for breakfast.

Ran Qing went out with his schoolbag, ready to go to the city hospital first.

However, when he went out, he found that Mo Li had changed into going-out clothes and was standing at the door waiting for him.

Seeing the girl change out of her nightgown, Ran Qing was a little surprised: "Are you going too?"

The girl touched Little Cotton's head and said, "Sister Cotton asked me to go with you."

In the early morning sunshine, the girl wearing the dog skin had become dull-eyed and thought she was a dog.

It is currently impossible to confirm whether she said this.

But Mo Li wanted to follow, and Ran Qing had no objection. The two left Park Road and walked in silence all the way to the bottom of the hospital inpatient building.

"After we go up..."

At this point, Ran Qing finally couldn't help but speak. He was worried that the girl would be verbally abused by the man after she went up with him.

But the girl didn't care and shook her head.

"It's not like your dad doesn't know me. I'm probably even more familiar with him than you are. He won't cause me any trouble."

The girl is very confident.

And so, the two of them went upstairs.

In the hospital corridor filled with strong disinfectant, Ran Qing saw the man in the ward again.

Compared to his weakness when he was in a coma and his indifference when they met again in the ghost world of Wujiang, the man lying on the hospital bed at this moment had a sunny smile on his face that Ran Qing had never seen before.

He seemed like a cheerful, friendly father, laughing heartily and playing games with his young daughter.

"One two three wooden man!"

"One two three wooden man!"

The man made weird faces and exaggerated expressions, which made his two-year-old daughter laugh out loud.

In the ward, the little girl's cute laughter, as clear as a silver bell, floated out.

This kind of man is completely different from the aloof, indifferent and selfish image that Ran Qing knew.

He had never played such a game with a man, and had no memory of any similar scenes.

Standing at the door of the ward, Ran Qing was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't get in.

Instead, the girl pushed open the door of the ward and walked in nonchalantly, interrupting the family happiness inside.

"Good morning, Uncle Ran," the girl greeted politely.

The man on the bed looked at him in surprise: "You are..."

He looked at the girl in confusion for a few seconds.

Ran Jianfei's expression turned into shock: "Mo Li? Aren't you dead?"

The man subconsciously sat up straight, and his shocked reaction was exactly the same as Ran Qing's before.

At this time, Ran Qing also appeared beside the girl in silence.

Looking at the man on the hospital bed, the father and son looked at each other.

The man who had been happily amusing his daughter with a smile on his face suddenly turned cold.

He frowned and looked at Ran Qing and Mo Li, and was silent for a few seconds.

The man asked expressionlessly, "What trouble are you in?"
