Peach Blossom Land On Longyin Island Chapter 33

sorry

“Dad~” An Le followed An’s father and called out helplessly, “It’s okay if I don’t eat, but it’s too late for you to run out alone.”

Father An smiled and said, “It’s okay, you are too nervous. I often go out to collect herbs, and I have never encountered raptors a few times. These wolves, tigers, and bears in the mountains look scary, but in fact they are also afraid of people. If you don’t take the initiative to provoke them, they will not take the initiative to provoke you.”

“Don’t be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst.” Anle stood opposite An’s father, holding a spear in one hand and putting his other hand on his hip. He preached seriously: “Dad, if anything happens to you, Mom will cry to death. Life is the most important thing. Dad, you must always remember that safety comes first…”

“Hey~ I know, I know~” After Anle finished speaking, An’s father smiled and continued: “Now that we are married, I am becoming more and more like your mother. I think it is better not to let Xiaoyu join the hunting team.”

As soon as he heard this tone, he knew that An’s father hadn’t heard anything about what he had said. An Le said angrily, “What does this have to do with An Xiaoyu?”

Father An raised his head, glanced at An Le, and said with a smile: “Xiaoyu joins the hunting team. He will have to go hunting in the future. He won’t be able to come back for three to five days. Why don’t you worry about whether he can eat or sleep well every day when he goes out?”

“An Xiaoyu is different.”

“What’s the difference?”

“He is destined to die.” Anle turned his head and said angrily.

An’s father smiled and said: “No matter how big your life is, you only have one life. What’s more, if you are a mortal body, it will hurt if you are injured. Aren’t you worried? Don’t you feel bad?”

“I don’t feel bad.” Anle said stubbornly.

“Just be tough, you are the only tough talker in our family.” An’s father lowered his head and shook his head, laughing. The spear he held in his hand suddenly dropped suddenly. When he raised it again, there was a fat carp as long as the palm of his hand stuck on the spear.An’s father raised the fat carp to show to An Le, with a proud smile in his eyes, and said, “How is it? Is dad very powerful?”

It looked like An Xiaojin caught a rabbit to ask for praise from An Le. An Le couldn’t help but smile and praised: “Awesome, of course dad is awesome. I didn’t know dad was so good at spearing fish. And he caught a snake today. Dad was so handsome.” An Le took An’s father’s arm and said coquettishly: “Dad, we have caught the fish. Let’s go back, it’s getting dark soon.”

An’s father said, “How can one meal be enough? You haven’t eaten at noon. Eat more at night. If you go back and let your mother see that you have lost weight again, your mother will be angry with you.”

With that said, An’s father handed the spear harpooned with the fish to An Le, then took the spear from An Le’s hand, lowering his head to look for the harpooned fish again.

An Le couldn’t laugh or cry: “Dad, we’ve only been out for two days, how can we lose weight? Besides, I’ve gained a lot of weight during this period, and I can barely fit into my clothes. I’ll just lose weight by eating less.”

“Why lose weight?” An’s father rarely seriously preached to Anle: “Eat well and eat more. With how much meat you have on your body, you were much fatter when you were a child than you are now. You have lost weight in only half a year. For your mother, you have to eat fatter. Your mother is very good at medical skills. She can bring back the dead. No one in the village can compare with her. But she can do it.”Your mother is really not good at things like food and clothes.Your mother can’t guess your taste, and she always says whatever you want. In the past six months, your mother has watched you lose weight day by day, and blames herself every night for not being a good mother.Fortunately, Xiaoyu is here, and she feels relieved after seeing you eat a lot these days.”

Anle was said to have no temper, but instead felt guilty, lowered her head and said nothing.

An’s father gently rubbed An Le’s head and said, “Lele, just tell your parents what you want to eat or what you want, and don’t be afraid to trouble your parents. Children are born to bring trouble to their parents. Parents are not afraid of trouble, but they are only afraid that you will wrong yourself. Dad knows that you have grown up and become sensible, but dad still hopes that you can be like you were when you were a child, without being so sensible.”

Anle’s nose felt sore and she wanted to shed tears.He suddenly understood the meaning of the inexplicable emotion in An’s father’s eyes when he looked at Anmi and Anmai during the day.It was the envy of the true family relationship, the dedication and giving that should be given to family members without being polite or thanking them, the tacit love and care that goes without words, and the family affection from Anle that Anle’s parents never experienced after “Anle” grew up.

He quietly replaced Anle and acted as their son. He thought this was a win-win approach: Anle’s parents did not have to bear the pain of losing their son, and he had a place to stay.

But in fact it was just an excuse he made for himself.

What is false cannot become true.

From the moment he became “An Le”, An’s father and An’s mother had lost their son forever.

How can poor acting skills deceive parents who love their son wholeheartedly?

What’s more, he didn’t play “Anle” seriously, and he didn’t hide the differences between him and “Anle”: his personality, his hobbies, his habits, his language and thoughts that were incompatible with the Longyin Villagers.The only thing about him that was the same as “An Le” was this body.

Even An Xiaoyu, who had never seen the real “An Le”, could detect his difference from the few words spoken by others. As the closest people to “An Le” – “An Le’s” biological parents, how could they not notice it at all?

Perhaps, they also noticed that their “son” was not like their son, but they did not find a reasonable guess.Or maybe it’s because they don’t want to admit that their son no longer exists.

But either way, whether they found out that their son had changed someone or not, there was no doubt that they were experiencing the pain of losing their son in another way.This kind of pain is not as turbulent as witnessing the death of her son. It is like a string of pain. The thread of pain continues to stretch out from the heart of An’s father and mother, getting longer and longer.

The longer he worked as “An Le”, the more clearly “An Le”‘s parents felt that their son was disappearing, but they were unable to express their pain.

At these moments—when every move he made showed that he was different from Anle, what were An’s father and An’s mother thinking?How did Father and Mother An feel when they saw their son being so polite to them, when they heard their son speak a language they had never heard before, and talk about novel things that no one on the island had ever heard of?

When he calmly accepted the fact that he could not go back, was the thin thread pulled out from the hearts of An’s father and An’s mother almost suffocating them?

They are experiencing the pain of losing a child in their hearts, but they say they are grateful.

Snap – the spear pierced into the water, and water splashed everywhere.An’s father held up the spear to Anle with a proud smile.

A fat carp was stuck on the spear.

Anle hugged Father An, rested her chin on Father An’s shoulder, sniffed quietly, and wanted to say something, but found it difficult to make a sound.

The last light on the horizon was disappearing, and An Xiaojin ran up and down and jumped into the stream, rolling around at their feet.

Father An patted An Le’s back and said softly: “It’s okay, Lele, it’s okay.”

“Dad, Anle, what’s wrong?” An Xiaoyu followed An Xiaojin into the water and asked aloud.

“It’s okay.” Anle rubbed his eyes, left An’s father’s arms, and said in a low voice, “I’m hungry, so hungry.”

It was completely dark and the sky was filled with stars.

A bonfire was lit in the cave. After a tiring day, the group took an early rest after eating.An Linmian and Anmai slept in each other’s arms, An’s father and Anmi lay down with their feet touching, and Anbei and Anshun slept deeply, back to back.

An Xiaoyu, Anshun, and Anbei took turns to watch the night. An Xiaoyu stayed in front of the bonfire for half the night, sitting in front of the bonfire and fiddling with the charcoal. Anle put his hands on his knees and stared at the bonfire.An Xiaojin was sleeping soundly at An Le’s feet.

“What did you say to dad?” An Xiaoyu asked in a very soft voice.

“I’m sorry.” The flames sizzled, Anle looked at the flames and murmured.In the end, all he could say was a polite apology.

An Xiaoyu paused and turned his head to look at Anle.Anle raised his head and glanced at An’s father who was snoring lightly, but said nothing more.An Xiaoyu stood up, patted Anle’s shoulder, and pointed outside.

The stars were shining brightly outside.

The cave is halfway up the mountain, with a steep cliff in front.The two of them didn’t go too far and sat on the cliff outside the cave entrance. An Xiaoyu asked, “Why are you apologizing to dad?”

Anle shook his head and did not answer. He lowered his head and shook his legs and asked, “What were you thinking about when you knew that I was not Anle?”

“Dad found out that you are not happy?” An Xiaoyu said in surprise.

Anle shook his head and said, “No.”

“Oh.” An Xiaoyu’s tone showed no emotion.

An Le looked sideways at An Xiaoyu and asked again: “Why were you so angry at that time? You don’t know An Le.”

“I’m not angry.” An Xiaoyu said in an unnatural tone.

Anle laughed and said, “Dad is wrong. I’m not the only one who is harsh.”

“Not angry.” An Xiaoyu repeated stubbornly, her voice lowered, and she obviously lacked confidence.

Anle smiled again, without exposing him, and said, “Then what were you thinking at that time? Did you want to help Su Su find your brother?”

An Xiaoyu was silent for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said, “Yes, that’s what I thought at the time. Their family saved me, and I wanted to repay them before leaving.”

As it should.

Anle nodded and said nothing.

After another moment of silence, An Xiaoyu shouted: “Anle…”

“Perhaps,” An Le interrupted An Xiaoyu softly, “if we die again, we can get it back.”

An Xiaoyu frowned, stared at Anle with a heavy gaze, and said, “Do you want to die again to get him back?”

Anle hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: “No. I’m just guessing, but I prefer another possibility.”

An Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone returned to gentleness: “What?”

Anle whispered: “Luck only comes once. We can’t go back. If we die, we will die.”

The night was completely silent, and the distant sound of wild beasts fighting could be heard in the forest. The two of them looked at the shadowy mountain forest without saying a word.There were footsteps coming from behind, and Anshun, who took over the vigil, came over and said in an emotionless tone: “It’s time to change the shift.”

An Xiaoyu glanced at Anshun, nodded, stood up, picked up Anle, and went back to sleep.
