He didn't want to talk at first, because he felt that Bai Xu didn't want to talk to him, and even Bai Xu was a little disgusted with him.
But seeing that she kept getting wet in the rain, Hu Changshou still gave her a reminder.
If Bai Xu didn't move, he would be no different from the surrounding trees.
The rain washed away the blood on her body. When she heard Hu Changshou's words, she turned to look at Hu Changshou. He had become very thin. Bai Xu curled her lips sarcastically and smiled: "You can't even protect yourself.
, and you still have time to care about others.”
"It's just a reminder. If the girl listens, that's good. If the girl doesn't want to listen, that's okay."
Hu Changshou was very calm and didn't mind Bai Xu's sarcasm at all.
"There are still two days left, aren't you scared?"
Bai Xu suddenly asked. She couldn't understand why Hu Changshou was so calm, without any fear or fear. Was he not afraid of death, or did he think she would not abandon him?
Hu Changshou just smiled and answered Bai Xu's question: "There is nothing to be afraid of, everything is God's will. I can live for more than one month, and I am already content."
"Why do you think so? Mother-in-law——"
Bai Xu was very curious. Thinking of her mother-in-law, the curious light in her eyes dimmed and turned cold. She turned her face and said coldly: "Forget it, it has nothing to do with me and I don't want to know."
The atmosphere was extremely cold, and neither of them spoke anymore. Only the sound of raindrops hitting the leaves decorated the night.
Hu Changshou also closed his eyes, feeling dazed, almost falling asleep, when he heard Bai Xu suddenly speak.
"After two days, I won't take you with me anymore," Bai Xu said.
Hu Changshou swallowed his throat and responded softly: "Yes, I know."
After another moment of silence, Bai Xu spoke again: "Do you have any brothers or sisters at home? Do your parents dislike you for becoming an immobile burden?"
Hu Changshou did not respond immediately, and Bai Xu said to himself: "If they don't dislike it, I can send you out."
"No need to trouble Miss Baixu, I'm not going home."
Hu Changshou spoke. Bai Xu looked cold and weird, not like a normal woman, but she was actually not that bad. She didn't abandon him, she did everything she could.
Hu Changshou looked at the dark night and spoke softly: "When I was nine years old, my father passed away. My mother is not in good health. I have a younger brother who is already eleven. Now that this year is not fair, I will go back and bear the burden."
It was too heavy, I was prepared to die in it when I came in."
"oh."
Bai Xu responded lightly.
The rain was still falling, and both of them became quiet.
After a long time, perhaps thinking that Hu Changshou fell asleep, Bai Xu said in a low voice: "I don't know who my parents are. From the time I can remember, I have only been my mother-in-law."
"My mother-in-law is very strict with me. She taught me martial arts and took me to many places. My mother-in-law doesn't like women and hates men. She can raise me. I am already very grateful. She is my only relative. She is
My mother-in-law is also my master. I hope she can be happy. I will do whatever she asks me to do. I swore that when I grow up, I will help her avenge her and get rid of all the enemies she hates."
"I never thought that she would abandon me. I thought that no matter what she had gone through, we were each other's only relatives. Even when I encountered danger many times, my mother-in-law never abandoned me. I thought she would never
Abandon me."
"But this time, she didn't take me with her. She didn't want me anymore. Why would she abandon me so cruelly after I did so much? Could it be that she really has no feelings for me in the past ten years or so?"
By the end of Bai Xu's soliloquy, his words were filled with sadness and resentment.
In the silent night, the only response to her was the sound of rain.
Bai Xu stared at the jungle in the distance, clenched his palms and gritted his teeth.
Hu Changshou did not sleep. He pondered for a long time before he decided to speak. He softly said to Bai Xu: "Miss Bai Xu, your mother-in-law has never really loved you. She just regarded you as a tool that can be used."
That's all, if you are useful, then she will keep you with her. When you are no longer useful, she will throw you away without hesitation and replace you. Maybe the next time we meet, there will be a new you beside her."
"I don't know if you have ever plowed the land, which is something ordinary people do every year. In the eyes of your mother-in-law, you are just a farm tool for plowing the land. If it breaks, you will repair it when it can be repaired, but when it cannot be repaired, you will be repaired.
Then don’t use it anymore and replace what you threw away.”
Hu Changshou made a metaphor, and Bai Xu laughed after hearing it.
"Haha, is that so?"
Bai Xu said coldly, mocking herself. She looked up at the sky and swallowed her throat.
Tears mixed with rain fell down. The fact that she didn't want to admit was exposed by Hu Changshou. It felt like there was a big hole in her heart. It hurt so much.
The world is so vast that it seems like she can't find a place to stay. She doesn't even know what to do or what to do in the future.
She couldn't find the meaning of her existence in the world.
She is the knife in her mother-in-law's hand. She will hit wherever her mother-in-law wants her to. If her mother-in-law throws her away, she will not find her own meaning.
"Girl Bai Xu, the world is vast. Maybe you are feeling uncomfortable now, but it will pass. One day, you will definitely live your life. You are who you are, and you are not a tool that anyone can use."
Hu Changshou's voice is soft and gentle.
Bai Xu suddenly looked back at him. Under the night, she couldn't see his expression, only his dark outline. Bai Xu had a strange feeling in her heart. She couldn't help but ask: "What about you? I left two days later."
, what will happen to you? Are you really not afraid of death? "
Hu Changshou chuckled and shook his head: "I'm afraid. Before you leave, I will ask you to take me to a dense jungle. I'm afraid of death. I won't give up easily. I can't move, but if there are insects or something crawling
If they pass the corner of my mouth, I will eat them. When it rains, I will drink the rainwater. If I am lucky, I can survive for ten or eight days. Maybe in these ten or eight days, my luck will get better again.
Woolen cloth."
Hu Changshou did not lie to Bai Xu, this was his plan. If he was lucky, he might really be able to get well and get out alive.
If he was unlucky, he would have lived a few extra days, so he would not have lost anything.
"oh."
Bai Xu responded lightly, not knowing whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied with Hu Changshou's answer.
This time, neither of them spoke.
In the end, Hu Changshou failed to persuade Bai Xu to take shelter from the rain, and the two of them stayed quietly.
It was getting daylight, and Bai Xu got up and left. Not long after, she came back with blood and minced meat on the corner of her mouth. She fed the minced meat to Hu Changshou as usual.
On this day, the two of them did not say a word, as if the conversation last night did not exist.

ps; Today there was a power outage and water outage from 8am to 10pm. Fortunately, my laptop was shipped back from my hometown, but I still had no energy to code all day long. The weather was over 30 degrees, and it was so hot wherever I moved.
She doesn't want to move and is irritable, even to the point where she has to scold a dog a few times to relieve her anger.
The two children have been scolded countless times today. Fortunately, the sun has set and the temperature has gradually dropped.
This weather has power outages and water outages, which is really killing people.
