Bai Gu seemed to have had a long, long dream.
In the dream, there was chaos, so dense and boundless that it was hard to see clearly.
A grass seedling suddenly emerged and turned into a towering tree in an instant, opening up the chaos.
Suddenly, the chaos began to fluctuate violently, and a ray of clarity came into being, illuminating the entire chaos.
At the same time, a group of black shadows hovered in the chaos, and finally crashed into the clear light, exploding into a huge mushroom cloud.
Bai Gu was also awakened at this time.
He had had this dream more than once since he was a child, and he had also had other strange dreams, but he couldn't remember many of them clearly after waking up.
This is the only episode I remember very clearly.
He once asked Old Mrs. Bai why she had such a strange dream.
Old Mrs. Bai just told him not to think blindly, to think about it every day and to dream about it at night. Usually my little head always thinks about some weird things, so I won't have them in my dreams.
It seems right, I do fantasize about some things.
For example, I am the son of a wealthy businessman. I should have been able to enjoy the glory and wealth, have clothes to put out my hands, and food to open my mouth. There are countless servants around, and delicious food and fresh fruits are served every day. He lived in a large house with five entrances, wore silks and satins, and could eat whatever he wanted and do whatever he wanted. He was extremely happy. He was just abducted by a traitor and left to suffer in Lingding Lane. One day, his parents, a wealthy businessman, would find him and take him home.
For another example, I am the son of a heroic couple, and I should have traveled around the world with my parents, making home all over the world. His parents taught him martial arts, and he worked hard, practiced successfully, and conquered the world with one man and one sword. However, he never imagined that his parents were being hunted down by his enemies, so they could only place the young man in Lingding Lane, waiting for them to meet again in the future.
There are many more like this, including the sons of princes and young masters of clans, and they have all fantasized about it.
Without exception, his parents were forced to separate from him, and in the end they all recognized each other and reunited.
Ever since he was picked up by Mrs. Bai when he was very young, until now, he has never heard or seen any clues about his parents.
Not even a little bit.
From the bottom of his heart, he still hopes to have parents.
Even if Mrs. Bai is particularly kind to him, it is only the love between grandparents and grandchildren, not the care of parents after all.
Although Lingding Lane is poor and the people there are not doing well, at least they have parents who have been with them since childhood.
When you are hungry, your parents will find ways to get food. When it gets cold, my parents’ cotton-padded clothes and quilts can keep me warm. If he is wronged outside, he can go home and complain to his parents, and his parents can stand up for him.
The most important thing is the embrace of my parents.
Although these white old ladies can do it, even better than any parent in Lingding Lane.
But so what?
The embrace of parents and everything about them are irreplaceable.
To parents, children are unique.
For children, the same goes for parents. There is only one and cannot be replaced in this world.
When dealing with the five children, Bai Gu asked their parents to choose between them. Only one could leave alive.
But in fact, Bai Gu just wanted to see if they, as parents, were willing to die for their children. When people in Lingding Lane are all selfish, are they willing to die for their children?
If all five people had chosen to die at that time, Bai Gu would have simply let them and their children go. Because as long as he knows that parents' love for their children is not afraid of life and death, that's all.
He also didn't want those five children to lose their father or mother.
As long as he has experienced this kind of thing alone, why should he involve others?
But it is a pity that Ding Bo was the only one who made the choice at that time, and he chose to live on his own. Others are in a dilemma and cannot make a choice.
But they also have their own difficulties.
One side is your own flesh and blood, and the other side is yourself and other people in your family. Whichever side you choose is unbearable, like a knife ripping out your heart.
As adults, or adults with families, they have more and longer-term considerations than Bai Gu.
The reason why Ding Bo made the decision so quickly was, on the one hand, that he had studied for a few more years and understood the principles and knew how to advance and retreat. He understood that his children broke into Bai's house, vandalized and looted, causing injuries to Bai Xiaoxiao and A Yue and killing the other. They were at fault for this matter. Even if your child doesn't die, you still have to pay a large sum of money.
The longer it takes, the worse it will be for you.
There is a limit to Bai Gu's patience, and the time for his children to kneel in the snow is also limited.
If you delay for too long, your children will not be able to bear the cold wind and heavy snow.
Secondly, as the head of the family, the man of his own mother-in-law, and the father of his children, he needs to consider the family.
Yes, he could die for his younger son and let his younger son live. Then what? The children are still young, and the mother-in-law is seriously ill in bed. What will happen in the future?
Do you want to watch them die one by one in the sky because they have no survival experience, and come to reunite with you? Is this right?
It is better to cut the knot with a sharp knife, sacrifice the small to protect the big, and minimize the losses.
Although Ding Bo's heart was bleeding, he had no choice but to make a decision with the least loss for the entire family. Even if he would be stigmatized as an abandoned child, he didn't care.
It's good to be alive.
The other four people simply couldn't bear to give up on either side.
This delayed the time.
Coupled with Aunt Wang's divine assist by saying "They are just children", Bai Gu completely exploded.
child? Are your children just children, while other people’s children are just wooden piles?
Ah Yue is seven years old and Bai Xiaoxiao is ten years old. Which one of them is not a child? What's wrong with them that they have to endure this at such a young age?
What's more, Bai Gu is only sixteen years old!
Your Aunt Lin’s child is a child at the age of fifteen, am I an adult?
Other people who are sixteen years old are also children nestled in the arms of their parents!
Bai Gu can't stand this kind of person who relies on the love of his parents to act recklessly.
Bai Gu also feels that such a person is not worthy of being a parent if he wants to get rid of all his faults with the word "child". Although this kind of love can protect the child under certain circumstances, it will only harm the child - this is doting!
Unfortunately, these two people came together to show off in front of Bai Gu and still refused to repent, so don't blame him for being cruel.
You kids broke into my house, smashed and looted, and whether you did it or not, you were at least an accomplice.
In this case, I only want a pair of hands from you children, which is not too much.
If this kind of naughty kid is allowed to grow, he might become a disaster. In this case, one of their hands will be cut off and they will become useless. Then they will have to rely on their parents in Lingding Lane for the rest of their lives, and they will not run to harm others and do evil wantonly.
I heard that both Ding Bo and Aunt Wang’s children died of excessive blood loss because Old Liu Tou didn’t want to take action.
Aunt Lin had a good relationship with Lao Liutou, so she barely managed to save her child's life.
Aunt Chen and Uncle Li knew each other better and went directly to other medical clinics. The life and death of the two children are still unknown.
However, Bai Gu didn't feel much about their fate. Even if they all died, Bai Gu wouldn't feel even the slightest bit guilty about it.
Ah Yue stayed with the old lady Bai at the foot of the hill and slept in the snow.
Bai Xiaoxiao was still lying on the hospital bed in Changzhou Pharmacy with serious injuries and was in a coma. He didn't know when he would wake up.
Bai Gu didn't feel like he had done anything wrong.
Although this is not the right thing to do, at least it is not wrong.
It is in line with human feelings and natural principles.
Bai Gu has a clear conscience.
It's just that Bai Gu watched such parents raise such children. It was very reasonable, but also quite sad.
If you don’t know how to teach children, at least don’t lead them bad.
But for such a child to be accompanied by such parents, Bai Gu was extremely envious.
And I feel pitiful.
I envy them that they still have their parents with them, but it's a pity that they have no education at all.
Bai Gu wiped his face and looked up out of the window.
A vast expanse of white snow.
More than once, he imagined his parents getting together with him in his dreams, and more than once he asked Old Mrs. Bai if she had any news about his parents.
The answer is always no.
He never blamed his parents for abandoning him.
Maybe they have their own reasons?
As children, you should understand your parents' struggles and difficulties, and don't complain or say hurtful words casually.
But to be honest, Bai Gu still felt a little sad.
Why haven't you come to him for sixteen years? Haven't you found this place yet?
Bai Gu took a deep breath, covered his eyes with his hands, and stopped looking at the snowy scene outside.
I just hope this is all a dream, and I won’t remember it when I wake up.
Just like what the book says, you know how many flowers have fallen in your dreams.
When I wake up, I don’t know who is where.
