Chapter 51 Fright
My mother sat by the bed and waited anxiously for the moment when my father opened his eyes. The father changed a lot in these days. Although my father had done a lot of excessive things before, it proved that he was still normal. However, all the manifestations now point to: it seems that something was wrong with my father.
Since Xiaohui's incident, my father has become completely different from before, and he is like a nausea. When I think about it, my mother hasn't seen any other expression on her father's face for a while.
"Ahem."
My father was lying on the bed and coughed, but he did not open his eyes. My mother hurried over to check his father's condition:
"Minfeng, what are you?"
He still didn't open his eyes and answered his mother with his eyes closed:
"I'm fine, pour the wine and I'll get up and drink it right away."
During this period, my father not only became tranced, but also seemed to have become dependent on rice wine. He had to drink whatever he did, and sometimes he had to bring his wine glass to the bathroom.
"Minfeng, if you are like this, don't drink anymore. If you feel tired, take a rest."
The frowning mother looked at her father who was communicating with her with her eyes closed. She always felt that the man in front of her was not the husband who had been with her day and night, but more like a strange boy who borrowed her husband's body.
When his father heard his mother say this, he immediately opened his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, his eyes were very sharp. His mother was frightened by his father's eyes, but soon the look disappeared from his father's pupils and began to become a little unconscious.
He sat up from the bed, picked up the bottle and poured a full glass of rice wine into the wine glass.
After Allege sent his father back, the whole family didn't eat, and his mother kept accompanying him by the bed. It was a little late now. The mother sighed, went to the bathroom to wash her feet and lay beside her father.
My father lay on the bed and sipped the rice wine in the glass. When he was a child, he always saw his grandfather holding a small wine glass and pecking at the rice wine in the glass bit by bit. He also learned that he seemed to be savoring something carefully.
He seemed to have no concern for what was going on, nor for the people around him. He began to live in his own world and never came out again.
“Tick, tick, tick, tick.”
A sound of water dripping sounds in my father's ears, as if it is very close to me, but it seems very far away from me:
"Zhang Hua, have you heard any sound?"
When my mother heard her father's inquiry, she raised her head and listened carefully, but she seemed to have no sound of water drops.
It was getting late, and my mother was indeed a little tired. She treated her as her father and said nothing and got into the quilt and continued to sleep.
After my mother said this, my father seemed to be unable to hear the sound of water drops before.
He remembered what happened at the gambling table before he lost consciousness. Although he didn't win much money today, it at least proved that gambling can make money, which also confirmed his thoughts...
“Tick, tick, tick, tick…”
The same sound of water drops as before appeared in my father's ears again!
My father was awake at this time, and the sound of water drops was indeed real. The sound seemed to be close to him, but my father looked around for a week and didn't find anything containing water poured out, and he didn't miss a drop of the wine he drank.
So where did this sound come from?
The father pushed the mother who was lying beside him:
"Zhang Hua, can't you really hear the sound of water drops?"
My mother has always been a docile person. Even if she is awakened when she is sleepy, she will not lose her temper at her father.
She followed her father's wishes and looked up again, but she still didn't hear any sound. She believed that there would be no problem with her hearing. Then, the problem must be her husband around her.
She has also seen such scenes in many horror novels. She often encounters so-called bad things, and she will hear ordinary people not hear things. Could it be that her husband also encounters things!
The mother turned her head to look at her father and found that her father's eyes were rolling her eyes at this time, with her eyes facing up. This action made her feel creepy!
At this time, the moonlight outside the window shone through the glass on my father's face, pale face, bloody lips, and the whites of his eyes that had never fallen!
My mother jumped up in fear, turned around and ran downstairs without even wearing shoes, barefoot and knocked on grandma's door.
"Mom, mom, get up quickly, something happened to Mingfeng!"
Grandma was woken up by a rush knock on the door. When she opened the door, she saw her severely frightened mother:
"What's wrong, Zhang Hua?"
Mother swallowed:
"Mom, something happened. Minfeng told me at first that he heard some water drops. I didn't take it seriously. I just said that when I heard it, I looked up and saw that he was rolling his eyes!"
When grandma heard this, she hurried to the kitchen and picked up a kitchen knife and rushed to the second floor. Her mother also followed grandma upstairs barefoot.
My father was still lying on the bed drinking yellow wine. Just as my mother said, my father was rolling his eyes and sitting repeatedly with wine and drinking and putting down his glass.
Grandma shouted:
"I don't care what you are, hurry up and leave my son's body, otherwise I want you to look good!"
As he said that, grandma pointed the kitchen knife at her father.
My father seemed to be frightened, and suddenly his whole body shivered, closed his eyes, and fell directly on the bed.
During the whole process, the mother was stunned. She had no idea that something had happened, nor did she know what was going on with her father now.
Grandma put down the kitchen knife in her hand:
"Okay, it's okay, let him sleep for a while."
The mother grabbed grandma's sleeve in fear:
"Mom, what's going on in Minfeng?"
Grandma sat at father's feet and sighed:
"It seems that Minfeng was a little scared about Xiaohui's incident before, which scared his soul out, which caused something else to come into his body. I don't know the specific situation. I'll find someone to see tomorrow."
After saying that, grandma stood up and walked downstairs with a kitchen knife. The mother looked at her father's face carefully. Her pale face had returned to blood, but her lips turned pale. Her closed eyes also showed that her father had entered a dormant state. Then, her mother leaned into the quilt with her tired body.
This night was so tiring.
Grandma walked downstairs and wanted to put the kitchen knife in her hand back into the kitchen, but saw a bowl of water in the kitchen that had been overturned. The water inside was splashed onto the dining table, and the water dripped down the edge of the table, making ticking sounds.
Grandma has believed in the sayings of ghosts and gods since she was a child. Ghosts and gods control everything in her world, so she has long been accustomed to these things.
Perhaps the sound of water droplets my father heard came from here.
She put the kitchen knife back on the wooden board, turned off the kitchen light, and returned to her room and lay on the bed and covered it with a quilt.
What I had been worried about for so long finally happened. I watched my father grow up since I was a child, and now I have married a wife and look like a man, but why is fate so unfair to him?
Grandma sighed and closed her eyes.
When my mother woke up, her father was already sitting beside her and drinking, but she looked much more energetic than before.
"Zhang Hua, I'm awake."
The father turned his head and looked at his wife who had just woken up from a scattered hair. He remembered that he had been confused for the past period of time and did not know how he had spent this time. He hadn't seen his wife seriously for a long time. Even if his wife is pregnant and has difficulty moving, her bulging belly has damaged her originally slender figure.
After so many things have passed, it turns out that the people around you are the cutest. No matter what happens to you, you will stay by your side without permission. Maybe this is love.
I also asked my mother if she loved her father. She said that so many years have passed, what is there to love her or not?
I know that my mother loves her father in her heart, and she sees it from the tears in her eyes when she left.
When my mother saw the father who had returned to normal, she showed a long-lost smile. I believe that at this time, the two of them had no other thoughts in their hearts. They only had the feelings of sharing weal and woe with each other. The father touched his mother's head, just like they had just met. The father squinted his eyes and smiled, and the mother also started to laugh.
Although his son has returned to normal now, his scared soul has not come back. What if something happens again in the future?
Grandma got up very early, and she wanted to find someone who knew how to do it for her father to take a look.
My father put down the wine glass and asked my mother to support the clothes on the boat. He hadn't gone out for a long time and almost forgot what it felt like to be exposed to the sun.
I think I haven't had a good chat with Al. If he hadn't helped him support him for so long, he might have collapsed long ago.
My father walked out of the courtyard happily with the crutches made by the grandfather. The warm sunlight shone on his father's face. His father closed his eyes to cater to the ultraviolet rays.
It was like a serious illness that had just recovered, and my father seemed to be reborn.
I turned around and looked at my wife. I was also a father. When I was in good health, I quickly went back to work to earn money. During this period, I seemed to have dragged down the entire compound.
